The bombings at the Boston Marathon hit especially close to home for Coyotes defenseman Keith Yandle, who grew up just outside the city and both attended and worked at the event as a teenager. Earlier this week, he took to the ice with "Pray for Boston" written on his skate. That wasn't enough for him. Yandle said he was hit particularly hard by the death of 8-year-old Martin Richard, a bombing victim who happened to be from Dorchester, the same neighborhood where Yandle's wife, Kristyn, was raised. Hes from my wifes neighborhood, and thats a tight-knit community, Yandle said earlier this week. Everybody knows everybody. So on Saturday, Yandle decided to honor the young hockey fan Saturday by wearing a specially made jersey for pregame warmups. Rather than "Yandle" and his traditional No. 3 on the back, the jersey featured the full name "Martin Richard" and the No. 8. The 2011 All-Star, who was not allowed to wear the jersey during the game, said it was the least he could do to ...

The Little Bookstore of Big Stone Gap: A Memoir of Friendship, Community, and the Uncommon Pleasure of a Good Bookby Wendy Welch
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A book about losing your place, finding your purpose, and immersing yourself in what holds community, and humanity, together—books
Wendy Welch and her husband had always dreamed of owning a bookstore. When the opportunity to escape a toxic work environment and run to a struggling Virginia coal mining town presented itself, they took it. And took the plunge into starting their dream as well. They chose to ignore the "death of the book," the closing of bookstores across the nation, and the difficult economic environment, and six years later they have carved a bookstore—and a life—out of an Appalachian mountain community.
A story of beating bad odds with grace, ingenuity, good books, and single malt, this memoir chronicles two bibliophiles discovering unlikely ways in which daily living and literature intertwine. Their customers—"Bob the Mad Irishman," "Wee Willie," and "The Lady Who Liked Romances," to name a few—come to the shop looking for the kind of interactive wisdom Kindles don't spark, and they find friendship, community, and the uncommon pleasure of a good book in good company.
The Little Bookstore of Big Stone Gap will make you want to run to the local bookstore, and curl up in an arm chair with a treasure in bound pages.
"In this beguiling, blog-based memoir, a former nonprofit administrator and storyteller chronicles how she and her Scottish, ex-academic husband found themselves in a central Appalachian town of 5,400 mostly known for Adriana Trigiani novels and a seasonal 'folk opera' based on Tales of the Lonesome Pine. The couple daydreamed about opening a used bookstore, and when they found a suitable five-bedroom fixer-upper, they bought it, moved upstairs, and got to work. With scant experience, they opened their bookstore amid the deepening recession and traditional publishing's general decline. Once the initial local curiosity was satisfied and grand opening thrills faded, in dire need of customers and revenue they reached out to a broader customer base through old-fashioned guerrilla marketing and community events on the way to a 38,000-volume inventory. The author chronicles how their customers taught her and her husband about the human element in small business, bookselling, and life itself. The whole narrative exudes enormous charm and the value of dreams and lives truly lived. Agent: Pamela and Louise Malpas, Harold Ober Associates." Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
An inspiring true story about losing your place, finding your purpose, and building a community one book at a time.
Wendy Welch and her husband had always dreamed of owning a bookstore, so when they left their high-octane jobs for a simpler life in an Appalachian coal town, they seized an unexpected opportunity to pursue their dream. The only problems? A declining U.S. economy, a small town with no industry, and the advent of the e-book. They also had no idea how to run a bookstore. Against all odds, but with optimism, the help of their Virginian mountain community, and an abiding love for books, they succeeded in establishing more than a thriving business - they built a community.
The Little Bookstore of Big Stone Gap is the story of the little bookstore that could: how two people, two cats, two dogs, and thirty-eight thousand books helped a small town find its heart. It is a tale of people and books, and how together they create community.

Americans only notice Pakistan when it's about to blow up. And, on
December 25, it almost did: Two vans loaded with explosives tried to
slam into President Pervez Musharraf's car. It was the second
attempt on his life in eleven days. The U.S. media portrayed the
attempted assassinations as escalations in the death struggle
between the pro-Western president and his Islamist enemies.But, had the press glanced Pakistan's way just a week later, it
might have realized that this familiar narrative is too simple--and
too comforting. On December 29, Pakistani legislators passed a bill
extending Musharraf's near- absolute powers until 2007. Outside
parliament, secular legislators protested the pre-scripted vote,
chanting, "Go, Musharraf, go." But, inside, Pakistan's Islamist
parties--abiding by a deal they had cut several days before--
guaranteed that Musharraf's dictatorship would continue for years to
If that sounds like a strange way for mortal enemies to behave, it's
because, while Pakistan's Islamist militants may be trying to kill
Musharraf, they are also his key allies in retaining power. Since
September 11, 2001, Americans have begun to notice the similarly
macabre double game in Riyadh, where the Saudi royals--seeking
religious legitimacy--feed the very Islamist fanatics who want to
dangle them from the nearest lamppost. But there is far less
recognition, particularly on the right, that our good friend
Musharraf is doing the same thing. In fact, in his case, it may be
worse. First, because, unlike Saudi Arabia, Pakistan has a secular
political tradition; Islamists aren't the only alternative to
Musharraf's rule. Second, because Pakistan has nuclear weapons. All
of which raises an interesting question: If the Bush administration
is so committed to democracy in the Muslim world, why don't they
fight for it in Pakistan, where we may need it most?
The military-mullah alliance has deep roots in Pakistani politics.
After taking power in a 1977 coup, General Zia ul-Haq forged ties
with radical clerics to legitimize his rule. He introduced public
hangings and amputations, amended the blasphemy law to impose the
death penalty for those who insulted the Prophet Mohammed, and
encouraged Islamists to open madrassas around the country--even
granting their graduation certificates the status of an M.A. in
Islamic sciences. The United States, which needed Zia's help against
the Soviets in Afghanistan, shoveled him money nonetheless, some of
which he in turn passed to Afghan warlords like Gulbuddin
Hekmatyar--who made his name splashing acid in the faces of
unveiled Afghan women and is now fighting to return the Taliban to
When Musharraf pulled off his own coup in 1999, he embarked on a
similar strategy. The main threats to his rule were the two secular
leaders who had dominated Pakistan's corrupt but relatively free
politics in the '90s: Nawaz Sharif, the prime minister Musharraf
deposed, and Benazir Bhutto, the prime minister before him.
Musharraf jailed then exiled Sharif, blocked Bhutto's return, and
disbanded parliament.
In 2002, Musharraf began a series of pseudodemocratic moves designed
to legitimize his rule. In April 2002, he staged a plebiscite on
extending his term for five years, which he won with 98 percent of
the vote. Three months earlier, under pressure from the United
States, the general had arrested more than 2,000 militants. But,
near the time of the referendum, most were quietly let go.
According to government sources, the releases were aimed at
soothing Islamist opposition to the referendum. Sharif, by
contrast, remained in exile.
That October, when Musharraf held elections for a reconstituted
parliament, his alliance with the Islamists grew more explicit. The
general allowed only college graduates to stand for office, which
eliminated roughly 40 percent of possible candidates. But, in the
tradition of Zia, he counted madrassa certificates as college
degrees, allowing the Islamist parties to run their own candidates
in place of the disqualified secularists. The results were
stunning: The Islamists, who had never before won even 5 percent of
the vote, won 11 percent and gained control of the parliament in
the Northwest Frontier Province, which borders Afghanistan. As
Carnegie Endowment visiting scholar Husain Haqqani wrote at the
time, "Limitations imposed on the secular parties by Gen. Musharraf
have created a political vacuum that is currently being filled by
the Islamists." The European Union denounced the balloting as
"seriously flawed." The Bush administration, however, called it "an
important milestone in Pakistan's ongoing transition to
Six months after taking power, the religious parties in the
Northwest Frontier Province voted to force women to wear veils, to
ban male doctors from seeing female patients in government
hospitals, and to establish a Taliban- style religious police.
Musharraf blocked the measures just before a July 2003 trip to Camp
David, where President Bush unveiled a $3 billion U.S. aid package.
But the religious parties also began using their new power to assist
Taliban rebels across the border. And, while Musharraf has pledged
to crack down on such support, his latest political deal with the
Islamists--ratified last week-- once again calls his crackdowns
into question. As Pakistani military expert Hassan Askar Rizvi puts
it, "Musharraf cannot pursue a counterterrorism policy at home when
many of the religious parties are in favor of Al Qaeda and his
foreign policy goals are unachievable because the mullahs don't want
Musharraf's willingness to keep bolstering Islamists, even as they
try to kill him, may seem baffling. But the logic is simple: If
Musharraf turns to the secular parties instead, they will demand
that he restore democracy. And, for the general, staying in power
is more important than defeating terrorism.
Is the Bush administration really surprised? After all, underlying
the president's grand speeches about Middle Eastern democracy is a
recognition that dictators will do whatever it takes to retain
power--including mortgaging their countries to fanatics. The answer
to this ticking bomb, the president says, is for the United States
to start conditioning our support on clear moves toward democracy.
It's a great new policy. Too bad it doesn't apply to Pakistan.

Study: Student Drug Testing Programs Linked To Spikes In 'Hard' Drug Use
Schools that institute student drug testing programs are likely to experience a rise in students' consumption of 'hard' drugs, according to observational trial data published this week in the Journal of Adolescent Health.
Researchers at the University of Michigan, Institute for Social Research analyzed the impact of student drug testing programs in some 250,000 high-school and middle-school students over a 14 year period. Investigators reported that random drug testing programs of the student body and programs specifically targeting student athletes were associated with "moderately lower marijuana use," but cautioned that drug testing programs overall were "associated with increased use of illicit drugs other than marijuana."
An estimated 14 percent of middle school students and 28 per cent of US high school students are now subject to some form of drug testing.
Urinalysis, the most common form of student drug testing, screens for the presence of inert drug metabolites (breakdown products), not the actual parent drug. Because marijuana's primary metabolite, carboxy-THC, is fat soluble, it may be present in urine for days, weeks, or in some cases even months after past use. By contrast, most other illicit drug metabolites are water soluble and will exit the body within a matter of hours. Authors of the study speculated that students subjected to drug screens were switching from cannabis to other illicit drugs which possessed shorter detection times.
"Random SDT (student drug testing) among the general high school student population, as well as middle and high school subgroups targeted for testing, was associated with moderately lower marijuana use; however, most forms of testing were associated with moderately higher use of other illicit drugs, particularly in high school," the authors concluded. "These findings raise the question of whether SDT is worth this apparent tradeoff."
Commenting on the findings, the study's lead author affirmed, "It is clear that drug testing is not providing the solution for substance-use prevention that its advocates claim."
Previous assessments of student drug testing programs have reported that those subjected to such programs are no less likely to report consuming illicit drugs, tobacco, or alcohol than their peers.
The abstract of the study, "Middle and High School Drug Testing and Student Illicit Drug Use: A National Study 1998–2011," is available online here.

Its bullshit kids are being tested for drugs to begin with.
It could start with simple thing's,like;' carbohydrates',,and then much more-sinister–like 'protein"and then what????
you sick bastards,,,,left to you're imaginations….?
"Investigators reported that random drug testing programs of the student body and programs specifically targeting student athletes were associated with "moderately lower marijuana use," but cautioned that drug testing programs overall were "associated with increased use of illicit drugs other than marijuana."
No doubt.
In some of the situations, scenarios, and life settings I have found myself – I have seen this to be as well. It is rather common knowledge, among soldiers, athletes, and persons who find themselves on probation, that marijuana METABOLITES stay in the system far longer than evidence of other drugs.
This is because cannabis is virtually harmless, whereas meth and MDMA (ecstasy) and other drugs are akin to toxins which the body purges as rapidly as possible.
It is another example of counter-productive machinations of our school and legal systems.
That drive people, (who are going to do whatever anyway), away from TRACKABLE harmless, to less trackable harmful chemicals.
Brilliant work.
Now its time to farking fix it.
Is this REALLY surprising???
Metabolite-based urinalysis drug testing
causes DECREASED usage of the relatively
LEAST HARMFUL compound, (cannabis), but
INCREASES consumption of the MORE DANGEROUS
yet less-detectable / undetectable ones,
(such as alcohol, opiates, inhalants, OTC "meds," amphetamines, tranquilizers, "spice," "bath salts," synthetic "research" chemicals, anabolic steroids…).
"Preventative" drug-testing
creating a worse, far deadlier "problem"
Oh, the IRONY!!!
Ban the use of backpacks. That will do it. Yep.
LEAVE our kids alone you controlling bastards..
I have been beating this drum for a long time. The problem that I continue to face is that people are less susceptible to listen to the common person with some/new controversial evidence. We Have DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education)which within itself sounds like a decent program but when the word gets out about the truth of certain medicinal, spiritual, plants then Pandora's box has been opened.. So then what you have is a group of young people feeling let astray believing very little of what your trying to promote as truth.. Why is it that we are told that cannabis is harmful but they refuse to allow any evidence that promotes cannabis and other medicinal,spiritual plants..I want evidence. The REAL truth not the story to fit the mold which suits your agenda.
The days when they can spin this info to dupe Congress into increase funding yet again for their asinine, counterproductive war are numbered.
But you all already knew that didn't you?
As a former h/s athlete (2009-2012) I was forced to take random drug tests. Whenever I had to submit to a urine test my anxiety increased because of the amount of pressure that the testers as well as all the other students whom are waiting for your urine sample (safe toilette syndrom.) This is absolutely ridiculous that we put pressure on our youth to test them mostly for cannabis usage. I did not partake of any herb substance until college years but wish I would have because after playing for my football team (started bothways) I would feel like absolute dookie and now I know that cannabis would have made me feel soo much better. Forget this system its time for anarchy.
We were talking about the idiocy of this effect in the 70's and it's just now being supported by statistics? Ahh, the other idiocy: making it near impossible to test theories in the first place…the stigma, you know.
Of all "alternatives" cannabis is the most dangerous to the Nicotine $igarette Empire, so the Drug Testing fad is clearly designed in the interest of Big 2WackGo. Double jeopardy– not only might millions decide on a policy of "Marijuana Instead of Tobacco", but further millions might decide to Vape Instead of Smoke, i.e. the high-profit 700-mg $igarette format replaced by 25-mg single tokes in a one-hitter or Vaporizer (an E-Cigarette is a liquid-formula-based vaporizer). Bye bye profits in the $igarette industry, time to Bail Out Philip Morris.
Another thing they particularly hate about cannabis is the way it fertilizes the imagination– challenges a person to try something new– when after all the basis of the high profit $igarette format is to train the suckers to trudge along doing the same thing 200* times a day, year after year.
*based on ten puffs x 20 fags per day (pack-a-day habit)
Think– one way to get around "drug testing" is ENTREPRENEURISM– invent your own product, teach yourself how to make and sell, OUTGROW wanting the "security" of a yes-man job relationship, abject loyalty to a vengeful jealous employer etc.
Your tax dollars at work again. Supporting Ameriatox drug testing company. They have made billions off of Medicare testing pain patients. They were sued for giving false readings that stated there was not high enough levels in the urine to state a patient was properly taking their meds. They lost the law suit, no fine, they just can't say levels are too low for everybody since everybody has different metabolite system. They still came out a winner though, the doctors make patients submit more drug urine test, resulting in more money for Ameriatox and the doctors.
Everyone is acting like prohibitionists want kids not to be on hard drugs! What do you think the point of the drug war is? To encourage drug use! Think this is too cynical? Look at the ads the gov't put out in the early Ninties in response to the cannabis use rate going down. They got in trouble because they were running commercials talking about how cool it was to smoke weed and other things. That's the whole point!
We should outlaw food…..too many people die of heart attacks
For years, I do not believe Mary Jane encourages users going for harder dope. It is the Uncle Sam (Prohibition) himself encourages society move up to harder dope. History already proved during the alcohol prohibition ERA.
Everybody knows that Mary Jane likes to live in somebody's body much longer than any other stuff, and in order to hide during drug test while maintain nice high so the option is obviously, move up harder one to prevent being detected.
Finally, it is no brainer and too bad Richard Nixon was real an idiot to begin with!
420 crusader
I wonder if those doing the testing are tested. Prob not, they can go home every night to their private stash without worry. Has to stop.
just ask yourself what seems like the smart decision here…
Ok class, if anybody here has parents who are on drugs and you fell uncomefortable about it you can tell us and we will help your parents get clean. Dare stinks.
Welcome to Prison America, where everyone is considered to be a criminal. When I was a kid, the idea of police breaking down someone's door and shooting their pets and throwing them around, just to find out that they have the wrong address, would have started a civil war. Now, we have been lulled into thinking that this is a normal way to live. Innocent people are killed more than we'd like to think. Why isn't it a crime to murder innocent life in the quest to 'regulate' the illegal drug industry ?
Drug testing is a violation of the 4th amendment and is a chemical loyalty oath in which a human being is judged on their bodily fluids and their obedience to the corporate masters. This system of testing has taken the human out of human being.
I think the commenters here are hitting the key point that this article fails to have written in words. Is there any reason why? The title should read "Children choosing harder drugs in an attempt to beat drug test detection"..
Guilt and fear are the tools of an extortionist.
Ya'll dont remember that America is a corperation? This is where people from all over the world come to work. but now jobs are being sent overseas, so… i dunno anymore
out with numb dumb, in with the genius crew
It's time to dismantle this system of corporate domination over our bodies. First we need weed legal in as many places / states as possible. This will help the population to start to understand what the masters intend. The courts are already siding with patients in some states. MI courts just recently gave MMJ patients the right to drive with THC/Coo in their systems stating that they need to show impairment before they can be arrested.
What about employee drug testing, that shit needs to be stopped ASAP , ban urine testing , marijuana is so common now. It's rediculus that marijuana is legal here in WA and CO, still hard to get a job, the people that came up with the bill should of thought that through.
"Are drug tests reliable?
No. The drug screens used by most companies are not reliable. These tests yield false positive results at least 10 percent, and possibly as much as 30 percent, of the time. Experts concede that the tests are unreliable. At a recent conference, 120 forensic scientists, including some who worked for manufacturers of drug tests, were asked, "Is there anybody who would submit urine for drug testing if his career, reputation, freedom or livelihood depended on it?" Not a single hand was raised. "
-ACLU Briefing
Found in the 'lectric Law files, listed on the first post in the archive of my anti-drug war blog that has a focus on drug testing in particular, enddrugtesting.blogspot.com. I've been compiling a list of online resources to help people make others aware of this Drug War profiteering scam. The time is ripe now, because once MJ is legalized they'll lose 98% of their numbers.
If anyone has any pro-legalization, anti-drug war and especially anti-drug testing sentiments–news, personal stories or observations, etc–I'm willing to post them.
@xboxrrod: You're absolutely right, and the first thing that I heard came up on that subject in CO was "can an employer fire someone for testing positive for MJ now?" The answer was "yes, because the federal law still declares it to be a 'dangerous narcotic' and illegal". That's the only reason. And I've been seeing evidence that medical mj legalization is at least undermining drug testing in those states–unfortunately they've been making up their lost ill-gotten dollars by ramping it up in hellholes like Ohio that are either only decriminalized or worse. Legalization has a momentum they can no longer stop now, medical marijuana is hitting the halfway point in the states, and once we have enough states on board….well, the federal law is not going to last for long, and they know it, and that is the ONLY thing still saving the scam drug testing industry. It's the last thread on which they hang, just waiting for the fall. I have no sympathy for them whatsoever.

Journey to the "end of the world" finishes in Cornwall
Posted: May 15, 2014|
AN adventurous crew will return to Cornwall this weekend after an epic 20,000-mile global journey which literally took them to "the end of the world."
The Adventure2013 crew achieved their dreams aboard their yacht, Elinca, on a journey to the Antarctic Peninsula – taking in 12 countries – and will return to the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club in Falmouth on Saturday.
The 60-strong crew has seen some amazing wildlife.
Whales, dolphins, porpoises, sunfish, albatross, turtles – and, of course, many different varieties of penguin – are just some of the species that have crossed Elinca's bow, swum alongside or been spotted by eagle-eyed crew members. Flying fish and even an octopus tried to join by landing on deck.
The 12-leg voyage took the crew to places including the Cape Verde Islands, the east coast countries of South America, the Falklands and South Georgia, as well as their goal – the Antarctic Peninsula.
The captain, James Boyce said: "This adventure has far exceeded all our hopes and dreams. We have seen some extraordinary sights, visited wonderful places and met interesting people.
"It is hard to pick a stand-out moment but probably the majesty of the snow and ice cliffs in Antarctica and the comical curiosity of the penguins were unforgettable.
"Throughout the crews have been outstanding – always prepared to take on the less attractive jobs, lend a hand with little sleep when the going got tough and maintain a high level of cheerfulness and fun whatever the weather. I would do it all again."
The organising group met through volunteering for UK sail training charities that take young people to sea – including the Ocean Youth Trust and Rona Sailing Project.
As well as providing life-changing opportunities for the young people, the volunteers too learnt valuable skills and gained the experience needed to take on this voyage to the end of the world.

First of all, the good news that almost everyone knows already -- Modern Warfare means modern combat. No more WWII setting at all for this CoD title, and that makes everyone breathe a sigh of relief. There's undoubtedly been more man-hours fought in WWII video games than during the actual war.
Check out the screenshots from the Xbox 360 and PC versions in the gallery below, and then read the rest of the story after the break.
Infinity Ward calls this "the best thing we've ever done" (has a developer ever said, "This is the crappiest thing we've ever done") and they've been working on it since before CoD2 was completed, which is why Treyarch did all the work on CoD3. They've been busy doing research on modern weapons (they have a military advisor on staff), uniforms, settings, vehicles, and put everything together in a storyline they've developed.
They also made a conscious decision to avoid the war in Iraq and work on a unique story of their own. In the game, a Russian ultra-nationalist named Zakiev is trying to bring Russia back to its former glory days, but he's using a poor set of social skills in doing so by using massacre, assassination, and so on to secure his position. He's also working with some other nasty baddies to get things done, including Al Asad, a bad guy from ... the Middle East, surprise!
You'll confront this threat throughout the game as you play either a Force Recon or British S.A.S. soldier, although they promise "cameo" roles that will let you play different types of soldiers for a single level. We saw this demonstrated in a fairly creepy (yet amazing) level where you played the gunner in an AC-130 gunship. If you've seen the videos on YouTube showing thermal images of enemy combatants on the ground as they get taken out, this level is built to look just like one of those videos. It's incredibly well-done, but it's also somewhat disturbing.
The game also features no campaign system like the past CoD titles. Instead the game "unfolds like an action novel of a television series." To that end, they've developed the look and feel of the game to be hyper-realistic, and spent a lot of time on things like particle effects, clouds, changing depth of field, water, real-time lighting, and very detailed matte painting backgrounds. They promise that the "greasy and plastic looking" characters are gone, replaced by models that look more human. The soldiers will even sweat in the desert levels. The four soldier models they showed us were extremely detailed, down to the stitching on their clothing, and you could even read the time on their watches. Pretty cool stuff.
The multiplayer also got a complete overhaul, and they mentioned that the reason why the CoD2 multiplayer was so rough initially was because Microsoft changed the firmware at launch, which ended up breaking their multiplayer code. Oops. The new multiplayer is entirely class-based, and you outfit your soldier not only with primary and secondary weapons, but also up to three "Perks" and special abilities. These are things like extra gear, a GPS jammer, more damage, dead silence (stealth), and a really cool one called "last stand." Last stand lets you push a button when mortally wounded, which pulls out your pistol as you lay bleeding out on the ground. You can then fire wildly at your attacker(s) until your finally drop dead. Good for revenge killing or telling your teammates where the bad dudes are.
There's also a experience bar in the multiplayer, and as you get better you can level up your character, get promotions, and so on. There are no vehicles in the multiplayer, it's all infantry based, and will include Deathmatch, Free For All, Capture the Flag, Search and Destroy, and other gametypes. They also incorporated some of the more popular mods for multiplayer, so there's no crosshair mode, no HUD, and no regenerating health, so basically "be careful out there." During the match we watched you could see leveling up actively happening during a match, witness players (with powerful enough weapons) shooting through walls, and in some cases ceilings to take out an enemy above them. You can also call in things like airstrikes or satellite recon from time to time, depending on your outfit. It's also party-based, meaning your friends can jump into a match at any time.
The game was shown to us (in an extremely nice theater room at Infinity Ward) on a big screen, and on an Xbox 360, which they also ran the trailers and demo videos on. Some of the developers we spoke with said the PS3 version will look basically the same as the 360, and that there is no Wii version being planned (saw-Wii!). They're also planning on issuing a press release soon for the "special voice talent" and "well-known television writers" they were able to get for the game. Well, David Chase isn't working on The Sopranos anymore, so here's hoping.

Teacher bullied at city school
Video was uploaded to YouTube
BALTIMORE - The video uploaded to YouTube is of an incident two weeks ago. It is obviously recorded on a phone by a student in a classroom; Baltimore City Schools confirms it is from Digital Harbor High School in Federal Hill.
You can watch as the female student flicks at and taunts the substitute teacher at the front of the room.
Then you can see the teacher dodging something that comes at her...all to the giggles and laughter of the rest of the class.
"My initial response was again, disgust."
Marietta English is the head of the teachers union in Baltimore city.
She's seen the video and says it happens more often than you think.
"Respect for adults. Somewhere there's just, no civility. They don't even respect the adults in the classroom who are trying to deliver a lesson and this is the battle we fight," said English.
To counter it, English encourages teachers to report this kind of verbal and physical assault to school police, administration and the teachers union.
In this case, Baltimore City Schools says the substitute did not file police charges but chose to let the administration handle it.
The administration declined and on camera interview but did tell us two days after the incident there was an investigation and at least one of the students in the video was disciplined, although we were not told how.
"I think it happens every day. We ask teachers to file a complaint with us, fill out the forms so that we can keep our own records. We just believe it happens every day in some school, somewhere," said English.
Making bullying not just a child issue, but a broader social and generational one.
Baltimore City Schools confirms the video was recorded at Digital Harbor High School on October 22 nd, the same day it was uploaded to YouTube.
The administration there disciplined that student two days later.

Farfalle with Gorgonzola Sauce #2
Farfalle al Gorgonzola
Serves 4-6
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons minced fresh sage
1 cup crumbled Gorgonzola dolce cheese
1/3 cup heavy cream
Grinding black pepper
1 pound farfalle
Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat and stir in the sage. Lower the heat and add the cheese, stirring to melt it evenly. Add the cream slowly. Season with pepper. Cover and keep the sauce warm while the farfalle are cooking.
Cook the farfalle in 4 quarts of rapidly boiling water to which 1 tablespoon of salt has been added. Cook until the farfalle are al dente. This means that the farfalle is done when a piece broken in half reveals no uncooked flour in the center.
Drain and add the farfalle to the sauté pan with the gorgonzola sauce. Toss gently over medium heat to coat the farfalle. Transfer the mixture to a serving platter. Give a good twist of the peppermill over the top and serve hot.

My name is Ben, I'm just a normal teenager. I struggle to get out of bed before 10, I find talking to my parents painful and school is a drag. The only thing that makes school liveable is the thought of holidays and the opportunity to travel around the globe.
So parents, here is my guide to picking the location to your perfect family holiday:
Vietnam is a country that is waiting to be explored and tasted, with amazing sights and even better food.
- Kids love eating, and in Vietnam there is food in abundance and it won't hurt dad's hip pocket
- Younger kids will love the Cu Chi tunnels, giving them the chance to fulfil their Rambo fantasies
- If you feel like a bit of shopping, you have come to the right place. Bartering is a must and if you persist, you can grab a bargain
Loud, out there and larger than life. This is how you describe America from the outside looking in. But there is more than the concrete jungles of New York and Chicago. If you're looking for a rootin' tootin' holiday then America is the place for you.
- The wild west, where Cowboys and Indians fought it out in black and white, are still to be explored and the Grand Canyon is amazing and beautiful
- The kids will love the cowboy experience and the landscape is one of a kind
- The food in America is a unique experience with the sizes of meals on the gigantic side and the tradition of everything being deep fried and covered in salt
No matter what people say, Canada is not America's little brother. It's more like the cousin who gets more presents at Christmas. What America has in ego and impact, Canada makes up for in understated beauty and charisma.
- The scenery in British Columbia blows anything else out of the water
- Speaking of water, there's canoing and white water rafting which are loads of fun, with everyone getting involved and getting extremely wet in the process
- Hikes that kids actully enjoy, and won't moan about until you give up and trudge back down the mountain
- Canada is the place for adventure and experience for one hell of a vacation. And its nothing like the USA
About the author: Ben Fenlon spent a bit of time in the Peregrine office doing some work experience. He is a keen traveller and had some great advice for family adventures!

Is going it alone the best way to see Europe?
Posted: January 06, 2014|
TRAVELLING independently can be fun, but it is also hard work.
You have to sort out your route, select and book your hotels, pick the sights you want to see, find out how to get there and check hundreds of timetables and opening hours.
You also must cope with different languages, currencies, local driving laws and border formalities and carry your own bags. You will often spend more time organising your holiday and dealing with hassles than enjoying it!
Travelling solo may mean you'll never know what you missed. You'll see each destination just as a tourist, knowing only what the guide book tells you, and you'll stand in line at every attraction.
However, with Insight Vacations your expert tour director and guides will show you each destination through the eyes of a local, and take you straight to the front with priority entrances and access.
There are also other factors to consider. While independent travel may seem cheap initially, the extra costs you'll incur along the way will inevitably make your vacation much more expensive.
When you add hotels, tips, car rental and insurance, petrol, parking, rail tickets, taxis, all your meals and drinks, sightseeing, entertainment and entrances the overall cost will have escalated dramatically.
When you take an Insight Vacations tour, everything featured on your itinerary is included.
To appreciate the true value of this, simply take the cost of a tour and divide by the number of day you are travelling for. Insight Vacations may often work out to be less per day than just one night's comparable accommodation booked by yourself.
Furthermore, if anything goes wrong while travelling independently you are literally on your own in a foreign land without real assistance.
With Insight Vacations you will be travelling with a tour director fully supported by a company on which you can depend and trust.

Brent Davis
Brent Davis is a young father of three who grew up on a wheat farm in Peetz, near the Nebraska border in Logan County and about 20 miles northeast of Sterling. In addition to growing wheat and serving as the head EMT for the town, Davis works for the Peetz Telephone Cooperative, a non-profit company that opened in 1918 and provides phone and Internet service for the area.
When the Recovery Act was signed, Davis saw an opportunity to win funding for a critical project: providing high-speed Internet access – otherwise known as broadband – to his community. According to Davis, nobody in the area has broadband. The company's 180 Internet customers have slower speed Internet service, which can't play an online video without stopping to reload after a few seconds.
In the last decade, Peetz has seen huge changes related to the renewable energy industry. About 400 wind turbines now dot the landscape and a geo-thermal plant is going in. But there isn't enough capacity to keep up with the technology needs.
In August, Davis wrote a grant application from his truck while harvesting wheat. The application filled a 3-inch binder, with letters of support from other Internet providers and the local school – which needs broadband for distance learning programs.
A week before Christmas, Davis got a call on his cell phone from the USDA Rural Utility Service. He had won a $1.5 million grant to lay more than 40 miles of fiber optic cables in his area – which will allow his company to provide broadband service for the first time to about 500 households. Davis said he almost drove off the road when he got the call. His company was the first in Colorado to win a Recovery Act broadband grant. More award announcements are expected in early 2010. The size of the grant was, by far, the largest ever to come to his community.
The grant gives his community a chance to grow and keep up with technology. "It's connectivity to everything."
"The three-year project isn't just critical to the community. It gives the telephone company a future," he said.
"We really didn't have any way of funding this until the stimulus came out," Davis said. "Without it, we would not be able to deliver broadband to any customers. As time goes on and other companies and are able to provide service, we would end up going away."
Jerry Henderson, the telephone company's general manager, says the Recovery Act is providing true opportunity to his town. By winning the grant, "Now you know, OK, the stimulus is going to help smaller communities."

He sings songs that rhyme "Pascagoula" with "hallelujah," changes voices in his novelty titles and had one of his biggest-selling hits by celebrating a naked man streaking through the fruits-and-vegetables section at the local supermarket.
You can't really fight the notion of Ray Stevens making an April Fools Day appearance on the Grand Ole Opry's Country Classics. Ray was, in fact, just a part of the tomfoolery at the Ryman Auditorium Thursday from host Larry Gatlin, Jeff Bates, Jack Greene and comedian Mike Snider, among others.
Larry led the crowd in a round of "Happy Birthday" to Jim Ed Brown as the singer turned 76. And Larry quickly threw in a winking lyric about how his vocal work "usually costs $25,000." Larry ribbed a Danish member of the audience for having trouble reading English, ribbed his own need for reading glasses and hammed it up repeatedly with star poses, carrying through on the Fools Day theme.
Jack Greene got a standing ovation for his classic "Statue Of A Fool," Helen Cornelius joined Jim Ed on the 1979 hit "Fools" and Mike Snider — with Good Friday looming — ran through a litany of cornball jokes about Baptists, Presbyterians and Buddhists.
Ray was saved for a four-song finale comprised of two comedic hits and a couple of serious ones, though even "Misty" got an appropriate introduction — Ray noted he and some fellow musicians were "foolin' around" in the studio when they came up with the banjo-and-steel take on the jazz classic, which ultimately scored Ray a Grammy for his arranging prowess.
Driving home the oddball theme, he delivered "Mississippi Squirrel Revival" (his "Pascagoula" chorus) and "The Streak."
Opry Country Classics runs temporarily on Thursday nights at the Ryman. The traditional Opry plays the Grand Ole Opry House on Fridays and Saturdays plus Tuesdays in the summer. This weekend's lineup includes Vince Gill, the Time Jumpers, Restless Heart, Holly Williams, Lee Brice, Connie Smith and John Conlee.
