Consistency may indeed be the hobgoblin of small minds, but it's a nice quality in a restaurant. The tricky thing, though, is that it takes practice to achieve. The sleek new City State Diner has potential, and much of what it does is terrific, but it doesn't do terrific consistently, at least not yet.
The diner occupies the former home of Wine Down on Northeast 28th Avenue. What was a sultry, maroon-shrouded MILF bar is now a bright, shiny, minimally decorated open space with a row of booths against one wall, window stools, a few tables and a lunch counter. It's the kind of place you'd expect to find a $5 shake, and you will find one here, and you'll be happy you did. On one recent visit, a vanilla malt made the full-grown man in my booth do a happy little milkshake dance. If sooner or later everything on the menu reaches milkshake level, look out.
Several things are already there. A roasted beet salad ($9) with goat cheese and hazelnuts is damn near perfect, especially with the blackberry bacon dressing (bacon dressing!). The croque madame ($8) is a hearty slab of chewy, melty satisfaction: two perfect eggs over ham and Gruyère on a thick slice of bread from Portland French Bakery. Burgers ($7-$11) are also a win, partly because of the diner's housemade ketchup, which tastes like no other ketchup I've ever encountered. It's closer to a smooth chutney, or maybe applesauce, sweet and weird and delicious.
This magic ketchup also decorates City State's best dinner entree, the garlic prosciutto meatloaf ($12). The two enormous bricks of meat look oppressively heavy on arrival, but they turn out to disappear from the plate with startling ease and rapidity. They come with a little skillet of cheesy scalloped potatoes and a stack of green beans.
So far so good; now for the not-terrific. The green beans are crispy but flavorless. The pork loin dinner, another pair of meat bricks, is almost tough and dry enough to test one's stamina. (The garlic mashed potatoes with it are awesome.) Fries are good, but they cost $2.50 extra. Prosciutto Benedict ($10) comes with a vivid yellow hollandaise sauce that's puckeringly tart, and the heap of prosciutto under the eggs pushes the salt level into heart-attack territory. The eggs themselves are perfect, although I worried when the server asked how I wanted them cooked. Aren't eggs Benedict always poached? (She did later correct herself.)
Servers are unfailingly friendly, if inexperienced and oddly unfamiliar with the menu. But everyone's clearly trying, and what the kitchen does right makes me inclined to wait patiently while they figure out the things that aren't milkshake-perfect yet.Order this: Meatloaf dinner ($12), roasted beet salad ($9), house margarita ($6). Best deal: The croque madame ($8) is ultra-rich. I'll pass: Eggs Benedict—the sub-par hollandaise sauce kills it.
EAT: City State Diner, 126 NE 28th Ave., 517-0347, citystatediner.com. Breakfast, lunch and dinner 8 am-10 pm daily. $$ Moderate.

42 U.S. Code § 238p - Recommendations and guidelines regarding automated external defibrillators for Federal buildings
(a) ) Guidelines on placement
The Secretary shall establish guidelines with respect to placing automated external defibrillator devices in Federal buildings. Such guidelines shall take into account the extent to which such devices may be used by lay persons, the typical number of employees and visitors in the buildings, the extent of the need for security measures regarding the buildings, buildings or portions of buildings in which there are special circumstances such as high electrical voltage or extreme heat or cold, and such other factors as the Secretary determines to be appropriate.
(b) Related recommendations
The Secretary shall publish in the Federal Register the recommendations of the Secretary on the appropriate implementation of the placement of automated external defibrillator devices under subsection (a) of this section, including procedures for the following:
(1) Implementing appropriate training courses in the use of such devices, including the role of cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
(3) Ensuring coordination with appropriate licensed professionals in the oversight of training of the devices.
(c) Consultations; consideration of certain recommendations
In carrying out this section, the Secretary shall—
(2) consider the recommendations of national and local public-health organizations for improving the survival rates of individuals who experience cardiac arrest in nonhospital settings by minimizing the time elapsing between the onset of cardiac arrest and the initial medical response, including defibrillation as necessary; and
(d) Date certain for establishing guidelines and recommendations
The Secretary shall comply with this section not later than 180 days after November 13, 2000.
(e) Definitions
For purposes of this section:
(1) The term "automated external defibrillator device" has the meaning given such term in section 238q of this title.
Source(July 1, 1944, ch. 373, title II, § 247, as added Pub. L. 106–505, title IV, § 403,Nov. 13, 2000, 114 Stat. 2337.)
Pub. L. 106–505, title IV, § 402,Nov. 13, 2000, 114 Stat. 2336, provided that: "Congress makes the following findings:
"(1) Over 700 lives are lost every day to sudden cardiac arrest in the United States alone.
"(2) Two out of every three sudden cardiac deaths occur before a victim can reach a hospital.
"(3) More than 95 percent of these cardiac arrest victims will die, many because of lack of readily available life saving medical equipment.
"(4) With current medical technology, up to 30 percent of cardiac arrest victims could be saved if victims had access to immediate medical response, including defibrillation and cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
"(5) Once a victim has suffered a cardiac arrest, every minute that passes before returning the heart to a normal rhythm decreases the chance of survival by 10 percent.
"(6) Most cardiac arrests are caused by abnormal heart rhythms called ventricular fibrillation. Ventricular fibrillation occurs when the heart's electrical system malfunctions, causing a chaotic rhythm that prevents the heart from pumping oxygen to the victim's brain and body.
"(7) Communities that have implemented programs ensuring widespread public access to defibrillators, combined with appropriate training, maintenance, and coordination with local emergency medical systems, have dramatically improved the survival rates from cardiac arrest.
"(8) Automated external defibrillator devices have been demonstrated to be safe and effective, even when used by lay people, since the devices are designed not to allow a user to administer a shock until after the device has analyzed a victim's heart rhythm and determined that an electric shock is required.
"(9) Increasing public awareness regarding automated external defibrillator devices and encouraging their use in Federal buildings will greatly facilitate their adoption.
"(10) Limiting the liability of Good Samaritans and acquirers of automated external defibrillator devices in emergency situations may encourage the use of automated external defibrillator devices, and result in saved lives."
Certain Technologies and Practices Regarding Survival Rates for Cardiac Arrest
Pub. L. 106–129, § 7,Dec. 6, 1999, 113 Stat. 1676, provided that: "The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall, in consultation with the Administrator of the General Services Administration and other appropriate public and private entities, develop recommendations regarding the placement of automatic external defibrillators in Federal buildings as a means of improving the survival rates of individuals who experience cardiac arrest in such buildings, including recommendations on training, maintenance, and medical oversight, and on coordinating with the system for emergency medical services."

BURRILLVILLE – At 89, former World War II POW Raymond A. Noury's health isn't what it used to be and these days he spends more time sitting in his wheelchair than he does using the walker that carries his portable telephone and plastic bin of personal items.
Noury, the sole survivor of an 11-member B-24 bomber crew, also has to contend with arthritis that makes it difficult to use his hands or straighten out his back.
But on the 69th anniversary of the day his plane — the Miss Fortune — fell to German anti-aircraft fire and fighter planes, Noury was only thinking of his 10 fellow crew members who never experienced the full life he has enjoyed.
He does that every year on Feb. 22, 1944, and at many other times.
"It's hard to figure that out. Maybe there was a reason for it, I don't know," Noury said Friday while sitting near a window of the home he and his wife, Therese, share overlooking a solidly frozen Pascoag Reservoir. "You have to figure there was a reason for it and it was my job to live life to the best that I could and have a family."
What stands out for Noury even today about those long ago days of World War II was how young all his fellow crew members were and how much promise they had for their own futures.
Most of the men he flew with were between the ages of 18 to 24 and few were married or had families yet, Noury recalled. They were smart and good at their jobs, whether that was piloting the B-24, navigating to its destinations or manning its armaments such as the 50-caliber waist gun he commanded.
"A lot of them probably were college material," Noury said.
He himself had joined the Army Air Corps just before the war broke out and gained experience as a radio operator working in planes patrolling the Atlantic seaboard for German U-boats in the days after the Dec. 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.
A native of Central Falls and son of Marie and Joseph Noury, Raymond Noury was an 18-year-old working at an $11-a-week job in the Cadillac Mills in Valley Falls along with his mother when he decided to join the service and instead earn $21 per month in military pay.
U-boats were wreaking havoc with Allied shipping at the time and Noury and his pilot in the two-man aircraft would notify the Navy of the location of any submarines they found and let the Navy take care of them. Noury recalls seeing one U-boat on the surface during those patrols but never found out what happened to it.
He eventually transferred over to B-24s, a four-engine heavy bomber called a Liberator, and saw action in North Africa before his unit began flying missions to strike industrial targets in Germany.
Noury earned a Silver Star for bravery, and the Purple Heart and the Army Air Corps' Distinguished Flying Cross for his actions during 17 missions. He is credited with helping pull an injured fellow crewman, William Boyce, to safety after flak blew a large hole their plane, the Snow White. Noury was also injured by flak on that mission, and after recovering, was assigned to another B-24, the Miss Fortune.
His final air mission began on Feb. 22, 1944, with a few last-minute changes to Miss Fortune's roster; Boyce had been replaced and another flyer, Rexford "Dusty" Rhodes, went along as the 11th crew member to finish out his required number of missions before going home.
Aboard when the Miss Fortune headed down the runway were the plane's pilot, George M. Goddard Jr., Haig Kandarian, Joseph E. Altemus, Charles F. Spickard, Oscar W. Houser, Harold C. Carter, John A. Goldbach, Roy E. Hughes, Wayneworth E. Nelson, Rhodes and Noury.
After striking a Messerschmidt 109 factory in Regensburg, Germany, the Miss Fortune took a hit to its outside engine on the right wing, forcing Goddard to make a try for Switzerland, according to Noury.
The damaged engine continued to burn as the plane made a turn toward safety with two other B-24s.
Noury remembers seeing Messerschmidts knock out one of the two planes and then other before he decided to try and get his plane's ball gunner out. He couldn't bring the exit around and had started to put on his parachute when the Miss Fortune exploded or broke apart.
"I remember waking up at just about 15,000 feet and my chute was all ripped up and the rip cord still there in place," Noury said. He remembers reaching for his Crucifix and wondering what would happen to him. He ended up making a landing on a snowy slope and sliding to a stop, injured but alive.
Residents of a village below the high country, in what is the Czech Republic today, saw his plane fall and two went up on skis to check for survivors the next morning, Noury said. He was brought down to a small hospital in the Nepomuk area and treated for his injuries before the Germans came to take him off to the first of a series of prison camps he would be held in until just before the war ended.
Noury returned home to Central Falls and would eventually live off Cass Avenue in Woonsocket with Therese before moving next door to one his children at Pascoag Reservoir more recently.
He is a long-time member of American Legion Post 9 in Manville and remains concerned about the new crop of injured veterans arriving home from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Many of the soldiers fighting the war on terrorism have put in multiple tours of duty and suffered the impacts of that repeated service in addition to battle wounds, Noury pointed out.
"I would tell them to take it one day at a time," Noury said. Today it is harder for a returning veteran to find a job when coming home than it had been in his day, but finding a post-war job can mean all the difference in keeping a family together, he said.
Noury himself has benefitted from the two trips he made back to Pradlo and Nepomuk with the nephews of Wayneworth Nelson, George and John Torrison, members of a Catholic religious order and other friends in 2004 and 2009. He cherishes the relationships he developed with the people of the now-free Czech Republic during those trips and spoke with some of the residents of Pradlo even on the 69th anniversary of his last mission.
The crash site of the Miss Fortune features a solemn monument to the 10 airmen found there in the plane's wreckage; Noury holds that tribute very close to his heart.
"There is not a night that goes by that you don't think about them," he said. "But I was overwhelmed by what they did for them by erecting a stainless steel monument 20 feet high and the 10 stones for each member of the crew," he said. "How much more could you ask of them."

FORT DRUM Based on reduced need, the Pentagon directed a contractor to show 150 highly skilled civilian employees the door, according to DynCorp spokeswoman Ashley V. Burke.
To say what exactly caused that reduced need would be pure speculation, Ms. Burke said.
But it is likely that both concerns over budget sequestration and the drawdown of U.S. forces in Afghanistan had something to do with it, according to Brian A. Gagnon, president of Local Lodge 2920 of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. The announcement was made by DynCorp management Friday and came as a shock, Mr. Gagnon said.
The cuts directly affect the Armys Aviation Reset Program, which manages the inspections, repair and overhaul of Black Hawk helicopters returning to the U.S. from overseas deployments.
President Barack Obama announced during his State of the Union address last week that the U.S. will bring 34,000 troops home from Afghanistan over the next year, effectively halving the size of the force there.
The Fort Drum program had aircraft scheduled for work up to 2016, Mr. Gagnon said, and had met a requirement to reduce its workload by 25 percent.
We went from 10 to six aircraft, which is normal for a drawdown, Mr. Gagnon said. We never expected it to drop down to zero.
Budget sequestration may have an effect on how employees find new jobs as the work force is reduced from 220 to 70 starting at the end of March and ending in midsummer.
Mr. Gagnon said union members typically are able to find new work, given their expertise and the number of government contracts in recent years.
We work so much faster, so much better than everybody, he said.
But fiscal uncertainties, including cuts set to take effect March 1 that will reduce the federal budget by $1.2 trillion over the next 10 years, may reverse that trend. Approximately half of that reduction is expected to come from defense spending.
Department of Defense officials deferred comment to the Fort Drum Public Affairs Office. Representatives from Fort Drum were not available for comment Tuesday afternoon.
The Army also has reset programs at Fort Bragg, N.C., and Fort Campbell, Ky., Mr. Gagnon said.
Ms. Burke said the availability of jobs for laid off Fort Drum employees at those bases was entirely in the hands of the military.

A young boy drowned Saturday evening in the Black River and a man who tried to save him was missing and feared dead after the child fell in the water while they were fishing.
A search for the man is scheduled to resume this morning. Authorities would not specify the relationship of the two victims, but said they were area residents. Their names were being withheld pending notification of next of kin.
The two were fishing off the 500 block of West Main Street, opposite Maggies on the River restaurant, 500 Newell St., about 6:30 p.m. when the boy, 5, fell in the water and the adult male jumped in to save him, according to Lt. Frank J. Derrigo of the Watertown Police Department.
About an hour later, divers from Jefferson Countys Special Tactics and Rescue team recovered the boys body downriver at the racks of the Glen Park hydroelectric dam, Lt. Derrigo said.
Rescuers could not find the man, age 47, and the search was called off just before 8:30 p.m. Saturday because of darkness.
Search efforts will resume this morning, probably around 10 a.m., Lt. Derrigo said. Well have patrols up and down the river, he said.
Lt. Derrigo said that there apparently were witnesses to the incident and that it was reported quickly, although he was uncertain of the details, having reported directly to the Glen Park site.
A unique aspect of the case was the speed with which the boys body was carried to Glen Park, he said.
Its very rare for anybody to make it down there this fast, Lt. Derrigo said.
Drowning victims often take a week to 10 days to get that far because of the varying currents in the river, he said.
The Black River in Watertown on Saturday night was flowing at just over 7,000 cubic feet per second, well below the median flow rate of 8,060 cubic feet per second, according to Hudson River-Black River Regulating District data.
Following the emergency call, Watertown firefighters and officers from various police agencies fanned out to various vantage points along the Black River, and city firefighters searched the shoreline in inflatable boats.
Glen Park firefighters also responded to the hydroelectric facility, and a LifeNet helicopter was at the scene for much of the evening.
Many people gathered in Glen Park to watch the activities of emergency personnel.
One man, who said he has many children, suggested that parents should keep their young children away from the river, as it can be very dangerous.
While drownings here are uncommon, Lt. Derrigo said any drownings are too many.

The 5-foot-6 senior guard leads the team in scoring with 16 points a game and is also the leader in assists with around two per contest.
Williams got St. Francis' quest for a second state crown off to a strong start with a season-high 28 points in the Lady Knights' 74-31 victory over Pace Academy in the first round of the Class A private school tournament last Tuesday.
She was also instrumental in St. Francis capturing the Region 6A tournament, scoring 19 points to lead the Lady Knights to a 69-52 win over Southwest Atlanta Christian in the finals Feb. 17.
Williams also scored 22 points in a 78-37 win over north Fulton rival Fellowship Christian Feb. 5.
"She is playing awesome right now," St. Francis coach Aisha Kennedy said. "Candice is a great senior leader on this team."
Williams will be moving on to the NCAA Division I college level next year after signing a letter-of-intent with Louisiana Tech.

Read: A Top Mediator Wants A Shot at NHL Talks
At ESPN, Katie Strang spoke with Judge Arthur Boylan who said that he really wants a shot at solving the CBA issues separating the NHL and NHLPA.
Boylan is a season ticket holder for the Minnesota Wild and told Strang that he would volunteer to mediate talks for free just to get the deal done.
He said that the two sides need to understand that for better or worse the fate of the league is up to them, "They know the future of the game is in their hands. They'd really be blowing this thing if it doesn't get resolved, it being the second lockout in recent memory. That would be a real disaster for everybody."
Boylan was in charge of mediation talks between the NFL and NFLPA during their lockout last year.
Strang said that Boylan encouraged the two sides to always be talking and that his chief responsibility was to see who meshed with who"a large part of Boylan's job was not just to find traction in negotiations but to also determine which lawyers worked well with who, which owners and which players were helpful to the process."
Strang adds "Often times the two sides would stay at the same hotel, he said, and even when they met with fierce resistance, he insisted the two sides "break bread" after sessions. Whether it was joining up for dinner or grabbing a few cocktails, Boylan wanted the two sides to maintain communication. "
An explanation of how the NHL used mediation in the past can be found, HERE.

Submission 35% Of Americans Would Wear "Electric Shock Bracelet" in Order to Fly-> 1
dryriver writes: Infowars.com reports: 'A survey commissioned by Infowars and conducted by Harris Interactive has found that 35% of American adults would be willing to wear an electric shock bracelet in order to fly, another startling example of how many Americans are willing to give up their rights in the name of safety. The idea of mandating travelers to wear an electric shock bracelet sounds like something out of a dystopian sci-fi movie, but the proposal was seriously considered and very nearly implemented by the Department of Homeland Security back in 2008. As the linked Youtube video highlights, not only would the bracelets have been used to deliver incapacitating electric shocks to suspected terrorists, they would also have contained tracking technology to spy on the wearer.

are you burning it onto a 700mb cd? theres a note on the download page that says that.
Im assuming you can normally write a cd. This is from the README file on the mandrake site:
With CD-Record:
CD-Writing HowTo:
For example:

WASHINGTON (AP) - Tens of thousands are without power in Maryland, Delaware and neighboring states after a series of morning thunderstorms, which left trees down and roads closed. And part of the mid-Atlantic region, including Washington, D.C., is bracing for an even more severe pounding later on today.
It's part of a massive storm system that brought widespread power outages and flash flooding along its path from the upper Midwest.
Forecasters in the Washington area warn that the storms could bring damaging winds and large hail. They say the threat will run until early this evening. The area is under a flash flood watch. The federal government today allowed workers to take unscheduled leave or to work from home.
A flash flood watch for the entire state of Pennsylvania is in effect through tonight. This morning, commuters tried to get to work amid torrential downpours and dark skies that made it look like nighttime. Play was suspended at the U.S. Open golf tournament outside Philadelphia for about three hours.

9OYS bullying investigation triggers barrage of viewer feedback
Rebecca and her third grade son.
Notes by: Forrest Carr, KGUN9 News Director
This week's KGUN9 News investigation into the case of a third grader who told a teacher he wanted to kill himself because of bullying was the top-commented story of the week. In fact, viewers blew our doors off with a flood of feedback. The report was also the top-clicked item of the day, outpacing the second most popular story on KGUN9.com by a margin of more than six to one.
Clearly, this is a topic in which viewers are very, very interested.
The short version of this latest story is that Rebecca (KGUN9 news is withholding her last name and the name of her son) is not happy with the way Math and Science Success Academy, a Tucson area charter school, is handling her son's bullying complaint. As has happened with many parents before from all around Tucson, her frustration led her to contact 9 On Your Side. Her tactics in handling her complaint have not endeared her to administrators. The day the KGUN9 News story was to air, school administrators called police and asked officers to remove her from campus. In doing so, a caller from the school stated that she was refusing to leave, described her behavior as "volatile" and referenced a letter that the school considered threatening. Rebecca and her husband had sent that letter nine days earlier, but the school had not previously complained about it to police.
Past bullying stories have provoked strong responses from viewers, but this one has drawn the most vigorous reaction to date. As is typical of past stories, some commenters passionately defend the school in question; others defend the parent and/or press for action on the bullying issue; and some continue the bullying with more personal attacks. KGUN9 deletes the latter type of comment if and when we see them. Below is a sample of some of the rest.
"xazothia" -- "The mom needs to get her child to a DOCTOR - a psychologist - regarding the suicidal thoughts, and then send her child to a different school."
"rebbel1973" -- "Getting the student help is one thing, but what about getting a solution to the problem. The bullies just keep on bullying while the victims have to find new schools? I don't think that sounds fair."
"Ohana:" -- "I have 2 children that attend this school. I have to say that I'm a little outraged on how people are attacking the school and it's administrators. I have great respect for the school, its academics, the administrators and faculty. It takes a lot for them to do what they do, which is educate our kids, our future. And we all know they don't get paid enough to. Sure, my kids have had some issues at the school, which I am very aware of, and I get involved. That's what it takes."
"actrs02" -- "My DD is in K @ MASSA, & she has had NUMEROUS problems with bullies. She has had boys pushing her, pulling her hair, & throwing rocks & sand in her face. I have reported it each time, & all they tell me is that 'It is being dealt with.'"
"Staffmember" -- "As staff at the school, I would like to say that it is unfair the way this is being depicted. We handle all concerns to the best of our abilities and I have never seen a case of bullying being tolerated in any of the classrooms here. We see that our admin is being grilled, but how about both sides? Is everything alright at the home of the parent? Where are the parents of the children accused of bullying and maybe they have their own story. These questions are never asked."
"chele05" -- "My child also attends MASSA and I'm a little upset with the negativity that this story has brought to a wonderful school. I'm sorry but, bullying is a common thing in schools all over the world. It is not just our school! You either have a child that has the ability to stand up for themselves or you don't. Me personally, I would have removed my child from an environment that I felt was abusive to him first, before taking it to the news!"
"Thinkhappythoughts" -- "Life is full of ups and downs, what you focus on is what life brings you. My children attend this school and have also attended other schools, and there are problems in every school. We focused on the good and not the bad and we keep getting 'Good.' It's what you focus on in life. NOT the schools fault, nor the teachers'! Now that the NEWS was informed how did that solve the PROBLEM?????"
"thinksmart" -- "You are right, involving the news doesn't solve the problem. But it forces school to FINALLY do something. It is easy to 'think happy thoughts' when it is not your kid who is getting bullied. Let's just close our eyes and pretend everything is great."
"coco1212" -- "I have 2 children and 2 nieces that go to MASSA since it opened its doors. This is an amazing school the staff are like family. They have been there for many families. This is a respectable school."
"Kids09" -- "My kids also attend MASSA, and I love it. We all think our kids are the best, but to someone else they can be annoying or a spoiled brat. Personalities are bound to clash. Even as adults we all have a mean side for those we can't deal with."
"Say It Proudly" -- "Why oh why, aren't bullies identified and put on the spot! Warned the first time, sent home second time, then if they continue, expelled and find another school. Unless bullies feel consequence they won't stop it. Target and weed out the bullies! I was bullied daily as a child. Understand this is there world they walk, breath and survive in every day. No reaction by a concerned parent is too extreme. And children are reluctant to come forward because they fear it will only get worse."
"Ruth69" -- "This school is absolutely amazing. There is no other description for it. I am a witness that there is no tolerance for questionable behavior and anything that comes up is handled quickly and appropriately, I have absolutely no complaints."
"one [deleted] mama" -- "As a parent of a child who also attends this institution that is called a school, I have to admit that the curriculum here is really great. However, everything else is shockingly below par. My child has been continuously bullied by his teacher and nothing is done. When approached about my concerns, all the school wants to discuss is my child's behavior, when I am clearly there to discuss the abusive teacher, mentally and physically. I would much rather send my child to public school than for my child to have to deal with abusive teachers and staff who could care less!"
"Concerned in USA" -- "He's in third grade and eight years old. Why are you all trying to condone bullying? It's not okay. The parents are challenging the process the administration takes to handle these bullying incidents. Focus on the issue, bullying not academics."
"madamesnickers1" -- "My child goes to this school as well and even though he has never been bullied I still agree with everything that the mother has tried to do in order to help her child. It's unfortunate that the school isn't as supportive as they should be."
"Looking 4 Money" -- "The bullying continues! Except that now its the parents that are being bullied by the school system for freedom of speech! I am sorry that the school systems do not have the gumption to own up to their problems, that won't go away by ignoring them."
"Just Ask" -- "Well first I am grown and glad that the parent is involved and always there, shows she is caring for her child and if she was a threat to the school why is the school doing something about it now, now that she went to the news????????????????????"
Carlotta Alyssa King (via Facebook): "This is why bullying needs to stop! People need to take this more seriously. I know what it feels like to be bullied and I've also thought about killing myself so I understand how this 5th grader is feeling. I hope bullying stops soon!"
Linda Clark Lazzeroni (via Facebook): "I think that for every bully there are parents/family/teachers who do not take it seriously. I think the bullying is so bad that those who are on the receiving end are too scared to speak up and, furthermore, many don't know that there are a myriad of ways in which people bully others. It isn't just kids, either."
Cody Blue Garcia (via Facebook): "Should not take any talk like that lightly. The 7 year old across the street from my sisters hung himself after a school fight."
Johncarrie Sanchez (via Facebook): "Well the same was happening to my kids at Cross Middle School and the reply I got from the principal is that this 'bullying' is being used for every little problem, and believes everyone is blowing the 'bullying' stigma way out of portion. What would you tell her, KGUN9?"
In answer to Johncarrie's question, it's not KGUN9's role to "tell" that principal anything. But it is our job to ask questions, so we'd ask this one: Given the fact that police have said four Tucson area students have killed themselves this school year amid bullying, precisely how do you know when it's safe to dismiss a bullying complaint as a "little problem"?
I would suspect that the principal couldn't answer that question. That doesn't mean the principal is in any way unprofessional. KGUN9 can't answer the question, either. Bullying is a thorny issue. We have found thus far in our ongoing investigation that sorting out the truth from the fiction, and the dangerous cases from the frivolous ones, is not easy. In fact, it's damned difficult. Further, practices, procedures and training for accomplishing those tasks vary from district to district, and from school to school within districts.
Yet no one can deny that some cases are serious. That is why so many of our viewers have asked 9 On Your Side to continue exploring this issue, and why we have agreed to do so, in the hopes that a better informed community will lead, eventually, to better public policy.
That's our view. What's yours? Post your comments here or on our Facebook page.

After taking some time off GSoC work to pay the parrot Upgrade Tax that plumage had accumulated in the months since 2.3 shipped, and watching the World Cup this hasn't been an awfully productive week, code-wise. However, there's been quite a bit of work and planing done anyway.
Parrot is a virtual machine designed to efficiently compile and execute bytecode for dynamic languages. Parrot currently hosts a variety of language implementations in various stages of completion, including Tcl, Javascript, Ruby, Lua, Scheme, PHP, Python, Perl 6, APL, and a .NET bytecode translator. Parrot is not about parrots, though we are rather fond of them for obvious reasons.

An estimated 25,000 to 50,000 people have poured into Islamabad from across the country, devoted followers of moderate preacher Tahir-ul Qadri who is calling for the government to step down and radical reforms. It is the largest protest in the capital since the Pakistan People's Party won elections in 2008, ending a decade of military rule and forming what in March will be the country's first civilian government to complete a term in office.

A powerful bagless vacuum at an affordable price
The advantages of a bagless vacuumThe PowerForce® Bagless vacuum has been designed to be free of all bags. There are absolutely no bags to buy or change with a bagless unit. Traditional paper bagged vacuums lose their cleaning effectiveness as the bag fills with debris. In addition, it can be difficult to tell when the bag needs changing. Bagless vacuums have clear containers to capture the dirt. There are no bags to fill up and clog and you can see when it's time to empty the dirt container. The result is more continuous airflow and suction power.

(a) The Merit Systems Protection Board shall—
(1) hear, adjudicate, or provide for the hearing or adjudication, of all matters within the jurisdiction of the Board under this title, chapter 43 of title 38, or any other law, rule, or regulation, and, subject to otherwise applicable provisions of law, take final action on any such matter;
(2) order any Federal agency or employee to comply with any order or decision issued by the Board under the authority granted under paragraph (1) of this subsection and enforce compliance with any such order;
(3) conduct, from time to time, special studies relating to the civil service and to other merit systems in the executive branch, and report to the President and to the Congress as to whether the public interest in a civil service free of prohibited personnel practices is being adequately protected; and
(1) Any member of the Merit Systems Protection Board, any administrative law judge appointed by the Board under section 3105 of this title, and any employee of the Board designated by the Board may administer oaths, examine witnesses, take depositions, and receive evidence.
(2) Any member of the Board, any administrative law judge appointed by the Board under section 3105, and any employee of the Board designated by the Board may, with respect to any individual—
(A) issue subpoenas requiring the attendance and presentation of testimony of any such individual, and the production of documentary or other evidence from any place in the United States, any territory or possession of the United States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or the District of Columbia; and
(c) In the case of contumacy or failure to obey a subpoena issued under subsection (b)(2)(A) orsection 1214 (b), upon application by the Board, the United States district court for the district in which the person to whom the subpoena is addressed resides or is served may issue an order requiring such person to appear at any designated place to testify or to produce documentary or other evidence. Any failure to obey the order of the court may be punished by the court as a contempt thereof.
(d) A subpoena referred to in subsection (b)(2)(A) may, in the case of any individual outside the territorial jurisdiction of any court of the United States, be served in such manner as the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure prescribe for service of a subpoena in a foreign country. To the extent that the courts of the United States can assert jurisdiction over such individual, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia shall have the same jurisdiction to take any action respecting compliance under this subsection by such individual that such court would have if such individual were personally within the jurisdiction of such court.
(A) In any proceeding under subsection (a)(1), any member of the Board may request from the Director of the Office of Personnel Management an advisory opinion concerning the interpretation of any rule, regulation, or other policy directive promulgated by the Office of Personnel Management.
(i) The Merit Systems Protection Board may, during an investigation by the Office of Special Counsel or during the pendency of any proceeding before the Board, issue any order which may be necessary to protect a witness or other individual from harassment, except that an agency (other than the Office of Special Counsel) may not request any such order with regard to an investigation by the Office of Special Counsel from the Board during such investigation.
(A) In enforcing compliance with any order under subsection (a)(2), the Board may order that any employee charged with complying with such order, other than an employee appointed by the President by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall not be entitled to receive payment for service as an employee during any period that the order has not been complied with. The Board shall certify to the Comptroller General of the United States that such an order has been issued and no payment shall be made out of the Treasury of the United States for any service specified in such order.
(3) In carrying out any study under subsection (a)(3), the Board shall make such inquiries as may be necessary and, unless otherwise prohibited by law, shall have access to personnel records or information collected by the Office of Personnel Management and may require additional reports from other agencies as needed.
(1) At any time after the effective date of any rule or regulation issued by the Director of the Office of Personnel Management in carrying out functions under section 1103, the Board shall review any provision of such rule or regulation—
(B) on the granting by the Board, in its sole discretion, of any petition for such review filed with the Board by any interested person, after consideration of the petition by the Board; or
(2) In reviewing any provision of any rule or regulation pursuant to this subsection, the Board shall declare such provision—
(A) invalid on its face, if the Board determines that such provision would, if implemented by any agency, on its face, require any employee to violate section 2302 (b); or
(B) invalidly implemented by any agency, if the Board determines that such provision, as it has been implemented by the agency through any personnel action taken by the agency or through any policy adopted by the agency in conformity with such provision, has required any employee to violate section 2302 (b).
(3) The Director of the Office of Personnel Management, and the head of any agency implementing any provision of any rule or regulation under review pursuant to this subsection, shall have the right to participate in such review.
(4) The Board shall require any agency—
(A) to cease compliance with any provisions of any rule or regulation which the Board declares under this subsection to be invalid on its face; and
(g) The Board may delegate the performance of any of its administrative functions under this title to any employee of the Board.
(h) The Board shall have the authority to prescribe such regulations as may be necessary for the performance of its functions. The Board shall not issue advisory opinions. All regulations of the Board shall be published in the Federal Register.
(i) Except as provided in section 518 of title 28, relating to litigation before the Supreme Court, attorneys designated by the Chairman of the Board may appear for the Board, and represent the Board, in any civil action brought in connection with any function carried out by the Board pursuant to this title or as otherwise authorized by law.
(j) The Chairman of the Board may appoint such personnel as may be necessary to perform the functions of the Board. Any appointment made under this subsection shall comply with the provisions of this title, except that such appointment shall not be subject to the approval or supervision of the Office of Personnel Management or the Executive Office of the President (other than approval required under section 3324 or subchapter VIII of chapter 33).
(k) The Board shall prepare and submit to the President, and, at the same time, to the appropriate committees of Congress, an annual budget of the expenses and other items relating to the Board which shall, as revised, be included as a separate item in the budget required to be transmitted to the Congress under section 1105 of title 31.
(l) The Board shall submit to the President, and, at the same time, to each House of the Congress, any legislative recommendations of the Board relating to any of its functions under this title.
(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection, the Board, or an administrative law judge or other employee of the Board designated to hear a case arising under section 1215, may require payment by the agency where the prevailing party was employed or had applied for employment at the time of the events giving rise to the case of reasonable attorney fees incurred by an employee or applicant for employment if the employee or applicant is the prevailing party and the Board, administrative law judge, or other employee (as the case may be) determines that payment by the agency is warranted in the interest of justice, including any case in which a prohibited personnel practice was engaged in by the agency or any case in which the agency's action was clearly without merit.
(2) If an employee or applicant for employment is the prevailing party of a case arising under section 1215 and the decision is based on a finding of discrimination prohibited under section 2302 (b)(1) of this title, the payment of attorney fees shall be in accordance with the standards prescribed under section 706(k) of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000e–5 (k)).
