text: Boy, 5, in Trouble for 'Sexual Misconduct' —for Dropping Pants Experts weigh in on school policy of reporting wrongdoing By Arden Dier, Newser Staff Posted Aug 1, 2014 1:50 PM CDT STORY COMMENTS (88) (Newser) – An Arizona mom wants answers as to why her 5-year-old kindergartner now has a "sexual misconduct" stamp on his permanent school file. Erica Martinez says her son, Eric Lopez, pulled down his pants and exposed himself when another student at Ashton Ranch Elementary School "intimidated" him on the playground. The superintendent of the Dysart Unified School District says administrators labelled the event as "sexual misconduct" per school policy, but Martinez argues her son doesn't even know what that means and his actions were far from sexual, the Arizona Republic reports. Eric was asked to sign a "sexual misconduct" referral without Martinez present, CBS News previously reported—though school officials say the signature only indicates he received due process. Eric spent a lunch period in detention, but the referral will stay in his school record while he remains in the district. "This is a child's school record, and it's not something to be taken lightly," an expert notes. Labels like "sexual misconduct," another adds, could hurt a child this age if they're internalized. Kids need to be "put back on the right path ... rather than adults using adult words with kids that don't even really apply," that expert says, but the school says it's just following state guidelines for defining certain types of misbehavior. The status of Lopez's case is unclear—CBS reported last month that his mother's appeal to have the mark removed from his file was denied, but the Republic says she has not yet formally appealed.

Supporting Viet Nam's agriculture and rural development
HANOI, 7 March 2014 – A joint programme aimed at helping develop Viet Nam's agriculture and agri-business sectors, worth nearly USD 1,4 million, was today officially launched in Hanoi.
The programme, "UN support to the National Target Programme on new rural development", will be implemented by five United Nations agencies, including the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), and UN Volunteers, together with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of Viet Nam.
Activities to be carried out under the new programme will focus on enhancing the knowledge of rural residents and producers in order to modernize agro-production, rural livelihood activities and social development; and building the capacity building in policy, strategy and public investment for creating new motivations and incentives for the rural development process.
The programme demonstrates the commitment of UN agencies to continue to "delivering as One" for the benefit of the people of Viet Nam.
UN Resident Coordinator, Arthur Erken, said: "This joint project is a tangible example of the UN´s commitment to provide joint support to the Government of Viet Nam. He added that joint programming among different UN agencies helped strengthen interagency synergies, and was fully aligned with the Government's national strategies and priorities.
Under the new programme, UNIDO will provide technical support to improve the post-harvest technology for agriculture production, specifically for the vegetable and fruit value chain. The improvement of post-harvest technology for agricultural production is a high priority, since post-harvest losses is one of the reasons preventing Viet Nam's agricultural production from becoming more competitive.

Chief, UNIDO Agri-busines Development Unit

WANA: Three persons were killed and two others sustained serious injuries in a US drone attack on a house in Shaheen Warsak village in South Waziristan Agency on Friday, local residents said.
They said the drones fired two missiles and hit the house of a local tribesman, Muhammad Nauroz belonging to Karmazkhel Wazir tribe. Three persons were killed and two others suffered injuries, the sources said.
The villagers recovered the bodies and rescued the injured at a time when the drones were still flying in the area and there was risk of further missile strikes. The villagers said bodies of the slain men were disfigured beyond recognition.
The injured were shifted to a private clinic in Shaheen Warsak town, which is also known as Sheen Warsak. Some reports said the three slain men were foreign fighters, but tribal sources in the area insisted that they were local tribesmen.

It seems eNet and Airspeed have been sucessful in singing up enough businesses in Claremorris, Co.Mayo to deploy FTTp/b/h.
Speed available are 35Mb, 70Mb, 140Mb & 250Mb. 10Mb seems to be the highest upload at present.

Fair play to them I say, if I were in the Town I would happily pay €256 for a 250Mb connection.
Anyone in Claremorris singed up on here?

Grand Junction, Colo. (KKCO) --- Western Colorado organizations are working to make life easier for local veterans.
"They are certainly deserving," said Dr. Randal France, the chief of psychiatry at the Grand Junction Veterans Affairs Medical Center. "They have given quite a commitment to our country, so it's our time to pay them back for that."
The Grand Junction VA Medical Center hosted the Community Mental Health Summit Thursday afternoon.
About 80 people representing organizations from 17 counties in Western Colorado attended the event.
They discussed topics ranging from addictive disorders and suicide prevention to how to help veterans with work and housing issues.
"Particularly with the ending of our recent conflicts, we're going to see more and more of new veterans entering our community," Dr. France said.
Dr. France said the goal of the summit was to create cooperation among area organizations, which will make it easier for veterans to get the care they need.

The Amazon RSS feed has been noted widely. Here is the Loosely Coupled story:
The other thing that's interesting is that this is the first mainstream example of a retailer using RSS to disseminate its product catalog. Every item in those feeds carries a price, with a direct link to a page offering the product for sale. That's qualitatively different from the mainstream uses of RSS that have been seen in the past, almost all of them devoted to disseminating information and signally lacking a revenue model. Amazon's embracing of this new medium � reaching out to deliver filtered excerpts from its catalog to a fast-growing marketplace of RSS readers � is characteristically original in its thinking. Where Amazon leads, other online retailers would be well advised to follow. [Amazon commercializes RSS - Loosely Coupled weblog, Mar 5th 2004 10:28pm]

Folsom fills for rockin' good time
By: Don Chaddock, Telegraph Managing Editor
Critics complain benefit dinner area obstructs view of headliner Eddie Money, rest of event smooth
Up to 10,000 fans flooded Folsom's historic district for a two-night music festival, but some were left wondering why they had to fight for a spot to watch the Friday headliner while others sat at tables in a private fenced-off area directly in front of the main stage. A VIP area for sponsors of Folsom Live, with a handful of standing tables and an easily accessible bar, was located behind a large area directly in front of the stage designated for a special $500-per-plate fundraising dinner to benefit Hope Productions. The VIP participants were not allowed in the dinner area. Another standing-room only area was also located behind the dinner area, along with a narrow walkway area between the diners and the Hacienda building. Those in the fenced dining area were provided a catered meal and had front-row seats for Eddie Money's performance on Friday night. It also featured a live auction. According to organizers prior to Folsom Live, it was billed as an "event inside the event." Blake Currier, of Folsom, said this was his first time at Folsom Live. "It's overpriced and $37.50 of my money went to bring in Eddie Money and I couldn't get close to the stage," Currier said. "I think Folsom did what they always do and that's take care of their sponsors. ... This is my first time at Folsom Live and last." Currier believed those in the benefit dinner area were event sponsors, but they were actually organizations, businesses and individuals who forked over $5,000 for a table of 10 to raise money for Hope, a nonprofit group. "From our perspective, we formed a partnership with a charitable organization and we did the best we could to accommodate the crowds," said Joe Gagliardi, Folsom Chamber of Commerce CEO. "We'll correct it in the future, there was nothing we could do that night." Despite complaints, the fundraiser was met positively by others. "It was about raising money for charity to benefit kids," said Diane Keeler, one of the event volunteers. "This is a nice event. For this many people to be in a venue like this, I mean, look how nice everyone is. You can't find that at an event somewhere else." Eddie Money was a last-minute fill-in for Pat Benatar, who canceled her remaining 2011 tour dates due to her guitarist-husband being injured. Money also tried to raise awareness through his own actions. "You think it's hot here?" he asked. "It's 118 degrees in Iraq right now. This song is for our soldiers, called 'One More Soldier.' Go to my website at eddiemoney.com and download it to help ... our veterans." The song is about soldiers who lose their lives in battle. Dave Burrell, in an online forum, wrote, "That was very screwy to fence off the entire front area of the main stage. ... No ticket holders were allowed in this area. Everyone who purchased tickets had to stand to the ... side of that fence. "That was the only downside of the evening. I expected to have better access to see the main act for the evening. I bet everyone else there who paid (for) a ticket thought the same too." Even those posting on Folsom Live's Facebook page were unhappy with the blocked main stage. Laurie Pellegrini wrote, "Not being able to stand in front of the stage was quite the disappointment for those of us that have attended every year." Patti Boudreaux wrote, "(You) poorly planned the overly large VIP area. For (a) nearly $40 ticket you would think you could have gotten closer to the act. The event needs to get back to the basics and make this a fun event ... (I'm) very disappointed that the ticket holders were treated like peasants." Saturday night's Folsom Live did not feature a benefit dinner and attendees were able to get close to the stage. Mati Rosa Morphis, of Folsom, thought everything went well. "This event allows the public to come together to really enjoy the evening out with this beautiful weather," she said. "I've had a great time tonight. I've run across all kinds of people from across the community. You can let your hair down and socialize." Along with dancers and musicians, Folsom Live also brought in a variety of local volunteers to help run the show. Hacienda del Rio bartenders Chris Terra, Cody Estrada and Casey "Stud boy" Webb helped serve drinks to people at the Hacienda Stage on Sutter Street Saturday night. "We have all the fun and help entertain the crowd," Terra said. Down near the Main Stage, bartenders and brothers, Joe Mohamed, Mike Mohamed and Chris Mohamed, tended bar at the Red Bull tent. "The people honestly make this night worth it," Joe said. "There are a lot of attractive women out here. It's a lot of fun." There were a few scattered incidents requiring police or fire department personnel. Dorothy Ripley, of Roseville, watched an ambulance take away a young lady who, according to witnesses, fainted due to the heat. "It's my first time at Folsom Live and I'm very impressed," Ripley said. "Your whole police and fire department are under the wire, but they're doing a great job maintaining control here and being low key about it." According to the Folsom police blotter, there were two arrests for driving under the influence around 10:30 p.m. Friday night. There were two drunk driving arrests made shortly after midnight early Saturday morning, two arrests for public intoxication and one vehicle was towed because it was blocking a driveway on Sutter Street. Those arrest numbers are fairly standard for weekends in Folsom, according to the police blotters. ~ Laura Newell contributed to this report.

Our urban environment is the result of constant negotiation among designers, policy-makers, the private sector and city dwellers themselves. Rights of Way: Mobility and the City, an exhibition at the Boston Society of Architects, is based on the idea that access to mobility is access to opportunity, and everyone has his or her own "right of way." The show, which was curated by James Graham and Meredith Miller of MILLIGRAM-office and features exhibition graphics by MGMT. design, explores those public rights and examines large-scale urban futures, contemporary examples of innovative design for transit and public spaces, historical attempts to reinvent cities and individual adaptations of mobility systems. MGMT. design developed a visual system that reflects themes of interconnectivity and movement. The identity uses a running line as a graphic element that forms the typography and a series of unique transportation icons.

Principal education officer (curriculum development) Tam Koon-che, said although textbook prices are a commercial decision, the issue relates to livelihood. He urged publishers to take social corporate responsibility and show restraint on price rises.
For example, three Chinese textbooks for a junior secondary form that cost HK$362 will rise to around HK$376.
Tam said that since last year publishers have started debundling primary and junior secondary textbooks from teaching and learning materials.
Meanwhile, the Consumer Council found the average cost of booklists for primary schools was HK$2,219 last year and HK$2,186 for secondary.
A spokeswoman for the Anglo- Chinese Textbook Publishers Organization and Hong Kong Educational Publishers Association said while companies understand the financial burden on people, they are also facing inflationary pressures in their business.
Elsa Tsang Wai-man, general manager of educational technology provider Smart Education, said e-textbooks are 30 to 50percent cheaper than hard copies. And with the introduction of e-books next year in schools, publishers may consider new strategies.

This step involves a stream channel stability analysis, using departure analysis summaries of morphological variables and collection and analysis of specific channel stability variables. The stability variables are entered into Worksheet 14 (PDF, 59 kb). Previous step results, the relations derived from Step 6, and the outputs of the subsequent steps in this procedure are summarized in this worksheet.
Detailed interpretations and examples for the following categories of stability variables are presented in Chapter 6 of Applied River Morphology (Rosgen, 1996). Some of these are associated with natural, stable rivers and have little anthropogenic influence, yet are very active. It is this reason why reference reach evaluations are conducted to determine differences between genuine departure and natural stable channel adjustment. The general descriptions for these stability variables are
Figure 106. Meander Pattern variables that influence channel stability. (modified from Galay et al. 1973)
You will need Adobe Reader to view some of the files on this page. See EPA's PDF page to learn more.
It is important to distinguish the differences between W/D ratio increases versus decreases. The decrease category is only rated as a high risk when accompanied by a low bank height ratio (lowest bank height/maximum bankfull depth that determined degree of channel incision). This indicates that as the W/D ratio is decreasing, there is an associated increase in shear stress and unit stream power, and the bank height ratio values larger than 1.0 are indicating incision. Examples of W/D ratio departures are shown in Introduction to Sediment & River Stability, in Chapter 6 of Applied River Morphology, and in Figure 109 (PDF, 16 kb, 1 p.).

The Federation Must Die.
Pretty much every time I watch Star Trek, I'm rooting for the bad guys (Unless its the Borg or something that would kill off everything). Why?
Because the Federation must die.
The Federation is a bunch of corrupt space-hippies. They think their way is the only way. That everybody should be like them. As Gul Dukat said in the Maquis (Part 1):
I shouldn't even have to explain how wrong the Prime Directive is. They hate it when other races torture prisoners, but when a Federation citizen is charged with something ridiculous by an alien race they just don't do anything.
Then there is the fact that they want to "assimilate" everyone into the Federation. They wanted to do this with the Bajorans, and probably every other race in the Quadrant. Michael Eddington makes a very interesting and very true point in "For the Cause" (DS9):
Re: The Federation Must Die.
They are a bit like the USA or the United Nations. think they are superior to everyone else but are deeply flawed in many ways.
I wonder if a civil war would be good for the Federation.
Re: The Federation Must Die.
Federation may be hypocritical, but civil war is never good for any country. That's how you get all these extremists popping up everywhere. When people start dying, you get a whole lot of pissed off people, and that's never a good idea. When people start dying, they'll remember it forever and their children's children's children's children....
And, to answer the original question, yes. Show that makes you route for the bad guys are the best! That's why I love "True Blood" and "ST: DS9".
Re: The Federation Must Die.
But to sit there and say that that makes the Federation unworthy of existence?
Please. That's being worse than the Federation itself has ever been.
No culture is perfect; every culture is going to have flaws, some big and some small. It's just part of life.
When we look at the United Federation of Planets, we're looking at a fictional society that is of interstellar scope, yet has universal personal liberty and self-determination; in which there is either no class system or a very weak class system; in which there is no poverty; in which nobody is hungry; in which nobody wants for basic necessities of life; in which civilization and the natural environment co-exist in harmony; in which there is freedom of speech and of the press; in which there is no racism, nor, apparently, speciesism; in which there is no religious bigotry or religious domination; in which diversity is a valued principle, and homogeneity is not seen as superior; in which there is no caste-based discrimination; in which there is an incredibly strong democratic tradition; in which the right of the individual to protection from self-incrimination is venerated; in which there are no giant corporations to dominate the government and subvert democracy; in which there are, however, privately-owned businesses with genuine equality of opportunity; in which people who stand accused of crimes are innocent until proven guilty; in which the accused are entitled to a trial by jury of their peers on indictment from a grand jury; in which those found guilty are afforded rehabilitative care rather than the systematic torture we find in most developed countries today; in which local governments have much more forms of guaranteed autonomy than we often find in modern federations; in which the commitment to egalitarian foreign policy is so strong that it bends over backwards to avoid any tendencies towards imperialism.
Does the Federation have major flaws? Of course. All societies do. But the vast majority things that most cultures today get wrong, the Federation gets right -- while not giving up the things we get right today. To say that its flaws, which are modest in comparison to those suffered by the United States and its allies today, mark him as fundamentally corrupt, is just disgusting.
Meanwhile, on the astropolitical scene, it's surrounded by a feudal dictatorship (the Klingon Empire), a aristocratic oligarchy (the Romulan Star Empire), a plutocracy (the Ferengi Alliance), and a military dictatorship (the Cardassian Union). It is clearly superior to its neighbors if someone values liberty, democracy, equality, and justice.
By any reasonable standard, the Federation is a wonderful, amazing society that manages to find a much better balance between personal freedom and egalitarianism than societies in real life do. Does it have flaws? Sure. There will be no society without flaws. But it's a damn sight better than anything that's ever existed in real life, and a damn sight better than its fictional alternatives. I would love to live in a society as free and egalitarian and just as the United Federation of Planets.
Re: The Federation Must Die.
Wow this post is very wrong on every level, unless it is intentional satire.
Living in the Federation seems very pleasant on many many levels. The Federation seems to posess the best science and largest territory among space powers on this side of the galaxy. If this is the result of enlightmentment and democracy who are you to argue against it?
What alternatives are out there? Me thinks Romulan, Cardassian or Klingon rule would be found lacking to a great number of individuals. Leaving the Federation is always a choice, nobody is holding a gun to your head.
Re: The Federation Must Die.
Still, there's certainly a challenge to be made here:
We've seen hostility towards Spock because he looks like a Romulan; we've seen Solok taunt Sisko--and are informed as to his mindset that Vulcans are inherently superior to humans. Also, Quark was certainly on to something in "The Jem'Hadar" about human/Federation prejudice towards Ferengi (dramatized fully in the novel The 34th Rule).
While there is no religious "domination"--we see in Picard, and Keiko and Jadzia and Bashir and Jake, a kind of snobbish attitude towards religious beliefs--from Picard's describing the Mintakans' initial abandonment of religion as progress, to Jake's initial description of Bajoran religion as "dumb".
The Federation pays lip service to "diversity"--but, as even Sci says--
In other words...for all the talk about promotion of "diversity", it is decidedly intolerant about value systems that disagree with its own.
Now--I know, this brings up the classical debate of "Should we tolerate the intolerant? If so, isn't that promoting intolerance--and therefore self-defeating? If not...doesn't refusing to tolerate the intolerant make us intolerant--and therefore, isn't such a stance self-defeating?"
(As it were, this is a reason for my being highly critical of the concept of IDIC--but that's a debate for another time....)
But, all those questions aside--the point is...the Federation is, as Ezri Dax would put it, "A society that is in deep denial about itself."
Now...the "alternatives" to the Federation are frankly brutal, savage, cutthroat--and otherwise immoral. But the UFP has a much deeper problem, in its denial of its own flaws.
It points to all the good in itself--and passes that off as an excuse to behave as though all is well--that it is a paradise, that its has "progressed" beyond the sins of its neighbors. In fact, it hasn't--such problems have merely changed their form, adapting to fit into the society the members of the UFP have built for themselves. The fact that corrupt rogues such as Layton and Norah Satie and Dougherty and Cartwright were oftentimes able to pursue their destructive ends and nearly succeed points towards that.
Has the Federation "progressed"? Yes--to a point. But its problem has been to accept that point--and allow the work not done to remain not done. Therefore, the problems of prejudice (racial, religious, and philisiophical) and corruption simmer under the surface. Because these problems are not out in the open...the Federation tends to turn a blind eye, and tell itself that things are fine--that it is a paradise.
And that, to be honest, is the most disturbing problem of all.
Re: The Federation Must Die.
What gets me is the insinuation that the Federation wanting others to join is SHOCKING AND CORRUPT AND TERRIBLE. ...it's a freaking alliance of worlds. The more members you have, the better the position of the Federation as a whole is, and it's mutually beneficial both for the whole (since that's another source of innovation, thinkers, resources, etc.) and for the world in question (more support, inclusion in beneficial treaties, etc.). I never understood why being nice to worlds in hopes of eventual membership is somehow underhanded and dastardly. Isn't that generally a good way generate interest in membership? By showing benefits and being a trustworthy ally?
And for that matter, when does the Federation EVER, in all of filmed canon Star Trek, PUSH ITSELF on other worlds? The only times we really see prospective worlds (that I can think of! feel free to correct me if I'm missing something) are in the TNG episode "First Contact" where THEY AGREE TO LEAVE FOREVER at the aliens' request, and with Bajor, who wanted the Federation to oversee the fallout from the occupation.
Re: The Federation Must Die.
It's probably fair to say that I'm oversimplifying things a bit, even if the gist of my argument is not wrong.
And for all that Sisko has some prejudices against the Ferengi (at least as of Season Two of DS9), that doesn't stop him from sponsoring the application to Starfleet Academy of the very first Ferengi in Starfleet.
Even if there are occasional instances of personal speciesism, it seems pretty clear that the Federation's institutions do not engage in institutional speciesism. There's no reason to think that a Ferengi immigrant to Earth would be mistreated by officials, or that you'd have any trouble catching a cab in New York City if you're green, or that you'd be paid a lesser, unfair wage for being a Andorian chan.
And while it's been a while since I've seen those old DS9 episodes, the sense I got from Keiko, Jadzia, and Bashir was not so much a condescension towards religion as towards the idea that the Wormhole Aliens should be identified with the Bajoran Prophets. They're probably of the mindset that a clearly-identifiable alien lifeform should not be identified as any given religion's god or gods -- their reaction to the Wormhole Aliens being identified as the Prophets would probably be identical to a hypothetical scenario in which a Christian identifies Q with the God of Abraham. And in particular, with Keiko, I seem to remember that it was not so much that she objected to belief in the Prophets as to objects to censor her teaching of the scientific theories about how the Bajoran Wormhole functioned -- theories that were in no way incompatible with the idea of the Prophets' divinity.
Meanwhile, there is no evidence whatsoever that the Federation has any form of religious domination or discrimination. There's no evidence that it forces Atheist Federates to support having "In God We Trust" on Federation Credits, or that there are Federation Days of Prayer. There's no evidence that Federation Councillors hold hearings of the Federation Security Council on the threat of Prophetic law against the Federation Constitution from Bajoran immigrants. There's no reason to think that there's widespread social pressure to belong to any religious organization, no reason to think that anyone's religious beliefs are used to justify denying equal access to civil marriage, no reason to think people are beaten up for professing their belief in God or for being Christian, no indication that there's any inhibition whatsoever on freedom of, or from, religion.
What the Federation is guilty of is a certain level of cultural imperialism. It honestly believes that its egalitarian, liberal democratic system is superior to any other system, and wants to persuade others to join it.
But that is the key difference: The Federation wants to persuade other cultures to join it. It does not want to coerce them. And if another culture says no, the Federation will accept that.
You'll notice I did not list "tolerance" among the Federation's virtues. That's intentional. Frankly, I view the idea that "tolerance" is a virtue as being at best a misnomer. It's a meaningless statement. Everyone is tolerant of something. Saying that you're tolerant doesn't mean a damn thing.
It is meaningful to say that of which one is tolerant. So, you'll notice that I listed numerous areas of difference in which the Federation is largely tolerant; it's tolerant of differences in cultural identification, it's tolerant in differences of sexuality (it would have to be, since Andorians marry in groups of four), it's tolerant in differences of species. It allows its member worlds to include ritual fights to the death -- consensual homicide! It is tolerant of differences of religion -- there is no evidence whatsoever that the Federation sought to inhibit or suppress the influence of the Bajoran Church as a prerequisite for Federation Membership. Etc.
But, no, by the same token, it's not tolerant of everything. It's fair to say, for instance, that the Federation is intolerant of the way Ferengi society oppressed Ferengi women. Federation society is based in part on the idea that men and women (and other sexes, presumably) are equal, and as such, they have no particular obligation to be tolerant of that kind of sexism.
In some areas, I tend to agree that that intolerance goes too far. We see Federates being quite dismissive of Klingon pain rituals in Season Two of TNG, for instance, utterly dismissing the idea that personal struggle and sacrifice, symbolically engaged in, can yield personal insight or wisdom. But, by the same token, this is a function of the strong Federation value that people should not be tortured -- something that should, I would argue, not be tolerated.
And for all that the Federation and its citizenry can sometimes be dismissive of or condescending to aspects of foreign cultures with which they disagree -- there's no evidence the Federation ever tried to coerce those cultures into changing. So far as I know, the Federation never issued a trade embargo against the Ferengi Alliance for its treatment of women, for instance.
The Federation, like all societies, is very flawed. But the Federation is also very adaptable and self-reflective.
And meanwhile -- whatever its flaws, the idea that they're so great that the Federation deserves to die is just absurd.
Re: The Federation Must Die.
I agree with the original poster's points about the PD, and how it makes the Federation out to be pretty hypocritical when lecturing other cultures on their morality, when the UFP has a policy which results in deliberately refusing to stop planet-wide natural disasters, attempted genocides, etc.
Re: The Federation Must Die.
The Federation is just like any other nation in which it has good points and bad points, and whatever flavor it is depends on what's going down at any particular moment and whether you agree with it or not. As a result, you end up with a wide range of opinions ranging from it's a just society to it's something inherently evil.
But if anything needs to go, it probably should be the Human race. The Federation would be a lot better without them, eh? I guess Humans as a whole aren't so perfect in the future after all, even though they still largely try to be better than what they were, IMO...
Re: The Federation Must Die.
The other alien polities we see in Trek are far, far worse than anything the Federation does.
Re: The Federation Must Die.
The Federation is arrogant, but it's not evil. Nor is it corrupt as a whole. They may be some corrupt members, though. Anything touched by humanity will have that dynamic.
The Maquis issue was essentially a serious mistake, unfair to them and beneficial to the Cardassians. I'd admit that the Federation screwed up with that one.
But there are dozens of episodes in TNG where the Enterprise is sent out on a Federation mission to achieve peace or rescue a civilization from disaster. Most of the time, the Federation succeeds in helping. Seems more like a "do good" organization than "do evil," doesn't it?
Yes, the Federation does want other space faring peaceful nations to join it. But they don't demand it. They don't conquer you if you resist. A civilization has to apply to join. They can choose not to, and the Federation respects it. So... what's the problem?
Re: The Federation Must Die.
What happened to the optimistic future than fans wanted so much to be in??
Give up the replicators, free speech, harmonious society, holodecks, better health and pleasure planets? No way!,lol
The only real thing I could find that was wrong was when they (Starfleet) tried to take Data apart for research against his will, or tried to take his "daughter" away from him.
What was weird was that practically everyone else thought there was nothing wrong with it.
Starfleet has been involved in a few scandals or taken it upon themselves to make decisions for the entire Federation.
Maybe Starfleet (at times) may be more of the problem than the Federation itself.
Now, if you start looking at TOS closely, the OP may have some points.
Re: The Federation Must Die.
It grinds my gear when I hear people moan about the Prime Directive. Nonintervention is as much a practical opinion as a moral one. Look at Iraq, Libya or Afganistan and then imagine trying to do the same on a planetary scale. Imagine the resources, time and effort needed to do that. And then imagine the body count of such an undertaking
Re: The Federation Must Die.
Without repeating what others have said too much, some thoughts...

LIKE this, Pin that, Re-tweet this, +1 that. Social Media these days is looked at as just the newest craze and people use it to document every second of their lives, which is a little much if you ask me. But that's on a personal level, business level is a
whole different ball game. With so many social media sites out there, where do you begin? What's the difference between Facebook and the rest of the social media platforms?
Learn how to tune up your social media marketing with our free guide here.
Social Media Marketing is an outstanding tool for promoting your business. It's a great way to market your services, products, and help boost your brand. Not only that, it gives your customers easy access to anything your business has to offer (instead of waiting for that crumbled up postcard in the mail). At IMPACT, we often find that some businesses have a hard time diving into the sea of social media. Let me break down each tool and I know you'll want to get your feet wet.
What makes it unique
I think it's safe to say that Facebook is the most common among all the social media marketing tools out there. Facebook uses the social graph and activities to target demographics and people, making Facebook Advertising incredibly awesome. Think about it, any product/service you advertise on Facebook basically gets put into the hands of the exact person who wants or needs it. While it's mainly a B2C platform, every fan who has LIKED your page is truly interested in what you have to offer.
Downsides & Limitations
It's not all about you. I know, hard to believe but it's not. Of course it's extremely important and necessary to share your products, offers, services or what have you, BUT you also need to prove that you are en expert in your field. People aren't going to automatically trust you. You need to build that trust, and doing things like sharing valuable content, news articles, and information on the latest and greatest technology that's going on in your industry will prove that your fan base can trust what you say.
How to use Facebook for Marketing
Facebook is definitely the easiest and most user friendly of them all. Build your fan base, share your page with friends and family, post your Facebook link anywhere you can, and give incentives for people to like your page. Maybe you're giving out a $20 giftcard once you reach 10,000 fans. People love challenges and we find that techniques like this work well.
Share valuable content and interact. Do not forget to INTERACT! This is very important. People love to see that there is a real person behind your brand. If you don't show your face, people get weary if it's really you or not. And for all you busy CEO's out there, it doesn't have to be you posting either. Have someone in the office do the job. Make sure you keep that Facebook page active, interesting, and never stop engaging!!
Having trouble developing a Facebook marketing strategy? Give us a call at IMPACT and learn how we can help!
What makes it unique
Twitter is quick, frequent and has the smartest of the audiences. With 140 million registered users, twitter is a sea of information waiting to be read, followed, and re-tweeted.
Twitter also transformes your lengthy blog articles to small snippets of information. This is great for grabbing people's attention quickly, driving more people to your blog, then BOOM, new blog subscribers. Easy as that. Hash tags are also a unique twitter attribute. They're great for search purposes when your looking for people to follow and also to see what people are tweeting.
Downsides & Limitations
Twitter has been at the top of the micro blogging platforms since 2006 and generates 175 million tweets daily. While it's a great way to share quick thoughts and generate traffic to your website and offers, there are also limitations that come with it. Building relationships with followers is nearly impossible to do. People follow you because that like what you have to say, they don't always care about your business as a whole. BUT, there's ways around that.
Choose what you tweet wisely and follow people that have an interest in you and your business. At IMPACT, we really focus on finding followers who we know will really benefit from our clients products/services or even people who we know will share our content. Check out how we built a valuable twitter following for IMPACT.
How to use Twitter for Marketing
Twitter (like basically all of these social media marketing tools) is great for directing people to your website to generate leads. But you need to have content that is enticing enough for people to stop and read yours. People are normally scrolling through quickly and only clicking the ones that stand out the most. Make sure when you're constructing your tweets, each one hash tags for searching purposes and a link that is directing your viewers where you want them to go. Wether it's to your contact page, or a coupon your offering, make twitter useful by getting people to your website.
Twitter marketing have you confused? Contact IMPACT today to schedule your free consultation and we'll help you develop an effective social media plan.
What makes it unique
LinkedIn is definitely different from the rest of the social media outlets out there for business. Instead of just connecting with individuals themselves such as clients or customers, you can connect with other business as a whole. LinkeIn carries a feature that most social media platforms don't, you can see who views your profile! And it's not like those silly Facebook apps that everyone clicks at one point in time. This one really works!
Downsides & Limitations
There is a lot less conversation happening on a LinkedIn page then there is on other social media marketing profiles. One way around this is to join groups or communities where you can ask questions and engage in conversations. Take a look at our Client Community page for a better idea.
How to use LinkedIn for Marketing
Stream all your social media profiles to this one page. Everything from Twitter, Facebook and your blog can stream right to LinkedIn, making it the home of where all your social media will live. It doesn't get much easier than that.
Also, utilize that recommendations tool. You can acuire new business by having your loyal customers write you a recommendation and spread the word. You can also use LinkedIn to search for new employees. A LinkedIn profile is basically like an online resume where you can list your experience, schooling, interests and more. What better way to find qualified employees?! Look at our company page to get an idea of what yours may look like.
Not sure how to get started with LinkedIn? Contact IMPACT today and we can get you started!
What makes it unique
Many are saying that Google+ is the up-and-coming Facebook. With 250 Million registered users already to date, I may not disagree! Do you have a lot of different types of people you want to reach out to? From employees and customers to your CEO and General Manager? Well, this is where Google+ Circles comes in handy!
With Circles, you can separate your followers into different groups so when you're making an announcement or just posting your lastest press release, you can choose who you want to share this information with! AWESOME! No other Social Media Marketing tools can really do that. Another unique feature with Google+ is the "Hangout." Here, you can video chat with up to 10 people at once. Now everyone can make it to the business meetings, virtually. No excuses!
Downsides & Limitations
Word on the street is that small business owners are getting worried that their website wont be of use if everyone can visit their Google+ page and get everything they need to know. Well, we can't really argue this because you never know what the future holds on the internet.
Google+ also lacks some privacy. Unlike most social media marketing platforms, theres no "request" button for Google+. You basically just add the page to your circles and you have access to their feed at all times. Although you have a business and your posting information for everyone to see, I think we all still like to have a sense of protection.
How to use Google+ for Marketing
Use killer images, make your profile OPEN to search, and use your Circles wisely. Google+ gives you many areas to use images. Whether you choose the tiled images or the one to span across the top of your page, choose the best one you have. After all, it is the first thing someone sees when they click on your page.
Also, don't forget to add some albums. Even if your company photos aren't your best ones yet, get them on there. Any photos look better then none. You can always schedule re-takes later. Since Google is king in the search world, you NEED to make sure your profile is open to search. If not, no one will find it and all the time you put into making your page wont count. Lastly, use your circles wisely. Circles is probably Google+'s best selling point right now so you really need to use this feature at its fullest. And it's going to make your life a lot easier when you're sharing content.
Aren't familiar with Google+ and how to incorporate it into your marketing strategy? Schedule your free consultation with IMPACT and learn how we can help!
What makes it unique -most popular video
Imagine this; You upload a hysterical video of your grandmother singing Karaoke on her 80th birthday. The video was so funny that thousands of people shared and viewed it. All of a sudden your video is viral and you become the topic of conversation among households everywhere! This can, and does happen! Look at Justin Bieber, Rebecca Black, and The Star Wars Kid (which we watch in the office very often). Youtube gives everyone and anyone the opportunity to go viral with their content.
Downsides & Limitations
I would say one of the only downfalls of using youtube for your business is that you can't exactly target your audience as well as you can on other social media marketing tools. Getting people to watch your channel and subscribe is one thing, but maybe not everyone watching will be interested in every video. Yes, it's up to them to pick through and see which ones are interesting to them, but it also raises the chance of people getting bored. Just keep uploading fresh videos and your subscribers will love you.
How to use Youtube for Marketing
Youtube for your business is a great way to get your face out there. People do business with people, and you can utilize youtube for presentations, webinars, testimonials, and really any announcements you need to make to your audience. It also give you a break from already producing content for people to read. Videos can be a lot more engaging and sharable as well.
Having trouble developing a plan for video marketing? Give us a call at IMPACT and we'll get you started!
What makes it unique - viral visual content
As one of the new members to the social media marketing tools, Pinterest is climbing the totem pole very quickly. At 30 million viewers to date, its kind of hard to not be found. Visual content rules all on Pinterest. If it's not appealing, it wont be re-pinned. From pictures to infographics and tutorials, it's full of all things appealing to the eyes.
Downsides & Limitations
Although Pinterest is great for showing your businesses culture and personality, it creates the feeling of a catalog rather then having a social experience. Yes, you can get a lot of re-pins, but do they really care about your business or just the nice picture you posted? While most of the top aspiring Pinterest users are young girls with a dream wedding and style board, it's hard to tell what your followers are looking for. This is why you need to be smart in what your pinning, link all images back to your website and make sure you're posting content that people will truly want to share.
How to use Pinterest for Marketing

If any Crimes were committed by the act of Impersonating Senator's online, I hope the Guilty 'Parties' are
Prosecuted to the full extent of the Law.
A sad commentary about how the GOP leadership has deteriorated to this sort of junk. Can't we get some new leaders?
Not much bang for the buck--how is this funny? Maybe funny as in pathetic.
IS THAT FUNNY OR ILLEGAL? If you did that on a telephone and misrepresented who you are there would be consequences. Parody? That is almost worse than tweeting pictures of little wieners which say " picture new Republican budget plan" @SenateRepublicans.
And the dem plan is...
Senate Dems have reneged on their duites for two consecutive years: THey refused to pass a budget last year and are on the same track this year. They are gutless and deserve to be voted out of office. That will happen next year when we get rid of the worst president since Jimmy Carter and his enablers in the Senate...
"the worst president since Jimmy Carter"
No, that was the guy who lied the country into a war, did nothing to try to prevent the largest terrorist attack in history, and whose only economic success was a real estate bubble that lead to the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. Nobody has come close to that record, delusions aside.

Autumn marks the beginning of open enrollment season, that annual rite where employees with health care coverage at work get to choose their medical benefits for the coming year.
But there's another side of open enrollment: Medicare coverage, which is primarily for retirees ages 65 and older. If that's you, your open enrollment season started Oct. 15 and runs through Dec. 7.
As everyone knows, health care choices can be confusing. To get some clarity, we talked with Nancy Metcalf, a health care specialist with Consumer Reports based in Yonkers, N.Y., who has been writing, blogging and ...

Dear Marie
My most important environmental questions nationally are
1 proper conservation of habitats
2 proper environmentally sensitive planning and land use
3 clean water
1 water quality / eutrophication
2 loss of biodiversity
3 landscape/landuse change
4 waste management
5 urbanisation
6 hazardous and dangerous substances
7 soil degradation
8 noise pollution
9 air quality in cities
10 human health and quality of life
11 human attitudes to the environment and behaviour
12 resource depletion
13 climate change and greenhouse gases
14 ozone loss and UV radiation
15 GMOs
I gave a priority rating based on national importance. Certain factors at
the end of my list are of global importance. I don't think GMOs is an
important environmental priority.

Chia Xiong works on a centrifugal fan at one of the Greenheck manufacturing facilities in Schofield on Tuesday.
For the second time, Greenheck has been selected as the Wisconsin Manufacturer of the Year in the mega category, where the state's largest corporations compete.
Greenheck beat out 11 other companies in its category - based on number of employees - to take home the 2012 award. Greenheck applied for the award; others were nominated. The company first won the title of Manufacturer of the Year in 2004, and won a special recognition award in 2001 for sustained excellence.
Jim McIntyre, president and CEO of The Greenheck Group, said he believes the company received the award as a direct result of its ...

What's up and welcome back for more with artist and illustrator, Celia Calle. This is Part II of a lengthy, but hilarious talk we had with her and it's chocked full of artsy goodness!
In the conversation, Celia covers: going from fashion to illustration, life drawing class, being cruel to your schoolmates, ADs vs. Editors, Will Dennis and the SDCC, AMERICAN VIRGIN AND THOSE AWESOME COVERS, her opinion of the series in general, criticism of her palette, people jacking her images, more Wuthering Heights, "Why is there no book of your art available..?!", kissing Storm Troopers, why Darth Vader is hot (...he is?), the NYCC and more.
Again, it was awesome having Miss Calle on the show and we can't wait to do it again—hope you dig it too!

Support for regular expressions
Most of the alarms need more granular support for excluding/including different things. Using regular expression is a good idea and should be extended further. For example you defenitly need to be able to filter out things from the alarm on the sql server errorlog. Without it's useless.

Fennell, Grmusa offensive catalysts for Baldwin girls' soccer team
TribLIVE Sports Videos
The Baldwin girls' varsity soccer team is hoping to pick up some momentum heading into the WPIAL playoffs.
The Lady Highlanders are slated to end their regular season with home games against Latrobe on Saturday afternoon, and local rival Thomas Jefferson on Monday night, in a pair of nonsection matchups.
The Baldwin girls opened this week tied for second place with Mt. Lebanon in Section 4-AAA with an 8-2 slate, two games behind undefeated Bethel Park (14-0, 10-0).
The local squad stormed past host Trinity by a 9-0 score on Monday.
"We have been successful to this point, but need to continue to win games against quality opponents," Vicki Hritz, Baldwin's first-year head coach, said. "We split our games with Mt. Lebanon; we (had) our second game with Bethel Park on Wednesday.
"Obviously, the higher ranking we can get going into the playoffs, the better."
Through 15 games, Baldwin had outscored the opposition by a commanding 74-16 overall margin thanks in large part to the offensive antics of Lydia Fennell, Amanda Grmusa, Alicia Mastroianni, Katy Pearson and Stephanie Mizla.
Fennell, a junior forward, and Grmusa, a junior midfielder, leads the team in goals with 12 and 11, respectively.
Mastroianni, a junior midfielder/forward, is next-in-line in the scoring column with 10 goals, followed by Pearson, a junior forward, with eight, and Mizla, a senior defender, with eight.
Mastroianni was the team's leading scorer in 2011 with 13 goals.
"We have five girls with at least (eight) goals, so we are getting contributions from quite a few players." Hritz said. "Hopefully, this makes it harder for other teams to prepare defensively to play our team."
Baldwin opened the season by winning seven of its first eight contests, which included six shutouts posted by junior goalkeeper Liz Spegar.
The Lady Highlanders opened this week with a 10-4 overall record.
Defensively, the local squad has been led by the likes of seniors Nicole Venturino and Miranda Kuzman, sophomore Kelsie Balsam, along with senior Tori Scott and junior Sam Yule, on defense and at midfield.
Scott is a fourth-year varsity starter.
Other integral players for the Lady Highlanders include Carly Baumann, a junior midfielder/forward; and Alexa Stahl, a senior midfielder.
"Our goal all season has been to make the playoffs," Hritz said. "We have continued to improve on facing up to the goal when we are on offense, and having more of an attacking mindset. We want to play more north-south, and not always resort to going east-west."
Spegar, in her first year as a varsity starter at the goalkeeper position, had nine shutouts through 15 games.

Save gas and money and decrease your impact on the environment by using alternative transportation.
- Maps and Directions
- Parking - On busy days, parking is usually available in Lot 5 and for faculty in Lot 6. Commuters are encouraged to carpool or take the shuttle when possible.
- Carpool - 26% of RVCC's full-time students carpool or get a ride to campus at least once a week, and 20% more are willing to carpool. To help RVCC commuters find carpools, RVCC offers RideShare ride-matching service through RideWise. Students and staff can fill out the online form and to be matched with other RVCC carpool-seekers or listed in RideShare's carpool classifieds. Carpoolers registered with RideWise are eligible for a free ride home in case of emergency. If you carpool at least twice a week, register your carpool with RideWise and their Ticket Home program, and you will receive a placard that lets you park in the carpool-only parking spaces in front of the West building.
- Vanpool - If you commute 15 miles or more to campus from a densely populated area like Flemington, consider vanpooling (carpooling in a rented van). Van costs are subsidized by NJ Transit. RideWise can help you join or start a vanpool.
- Hunterdon County LINK Bus - Hunterdon's Cross County Service can provide rides from central locations to campus by request. In fall 2014, the LINK can stop on campus twice daily, once between 9:45am and 10:30am, and again between 5:45pm and 6:10pm. (Times vary depending on the requests they get that day.) Rides cost between $2 and $4 one way. Stops include Kings shopping center in Whitehouse, Whitehouse and High Bridge train stations, and connections with Trans-Bridge buses. See http://www.ridethelink.com/ for more information or call 1-800-842-0531 to arrange a ride.
- Somerset County Shuttle Buses - Somerset County runs two public transit shuttle buses, CAT 1-R and CAT 2-R, to main campus Monday through Friday for $2 per ride. The shuttles serve Bound Brook, Bridgewater, Franklin, Raritan, Somerville, and South Bound Brook. Stops include the Commons Mall, Raritan Mall, and the Somerville train station. SCOOT buses stop near the Bridgewater campus and serve Bedminster, Bound Brook, Bridgewater, Manville, and Hillsborough for $2 per ride. The free RBus Somerset mobile app for the CAT 1 and CAT 2 buses lets riders know the time of the next bus directly from a smart phone or other mobile device. It also sends alerts about schedule changes or delays. Download the app from Google Play or iTunes. Type "RideWise SC" into the search box, look for the RideWise icon and install.
- NJ Transit Discounts - The shuttle bus connects to NJ Transit buses and train stations. Full-time students (12+ credits) are eligible for 25% off a regular rail, bus, or light rail monthly pass when enrolled through NJ Transit's Student Pass program. The Student Pass is an alternative to the regular monthly pass.
- Free Ride Home - If you carpool, vanpool, take mass transit, bicycle or walk to RVCC two or more times per week, you can register with RideWise's Ticket Home program. Registered commuters can get reimbursed for emergency rides home due to unexpected overtime requests, a family or medical emergency, a carpool breakdown or a transit service interruption.
- Free Electric Car Charging - In front of the West building, there are two electric car charging stations, each with fast and slow charging cords. The stations are on the ChargePoint network. The charging cost is a 40 cent connection fee and the electricity itself is free.

Utzon invited back to work inside Sydney Opera House
Jorn Utzon has agreed to make an amazing return to the Sydney Opera House to work on an A$66 million renovation scheme on the interior of the world- famous building.
The Danish architect, who now lives in near-hiding in Majorca, has agreed to become a consultant, with his son Jan, working with the Sydney office of Denton Corker Marshall to improve the landmark, 30 years after walking away from the project in disgust at political meddling and accusations of running over budget.
Wayne Dufty, an associate of dcm in London, explained that the happy meeting of minds arose when dcm Sydney director Richard Johnson interviewed Utzon and persuaded him to look at revitalising the building's low-grade interior facilities such as wc provision, circulation and disabled access. dcm was appointed last year to broaden the masterplan and improve the functionality of the building, while retaining Utzon's design principles.
Meanwhile the man blamed for Utzon's abandonment of the scheme, former public-works minister Sir Davis Hughes, has attacked Utzon's re-introduction as a 'vote-catching gimmick.'

Hillary paving way for President Chelsea?
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 06/24/2013 @ 12:21 pm In Politics,U.S. | No Comments
(TELEGRAPH) — I've been pondering what Hillary Clinton said about her fervent hope that a woman makes it to the Oval Office in her lifetime.
Poor Hillary. She doesn't even have to open her mouth these days to prompt speculation about a 2016 presidential run. But when she does let something slip, to comment on anything more politically topical than the position of the jetstream, the excitement knows no bounds.
Consequently there has been much hyperactivity about her comments in Toronto to a supposedly 'private' audience over the weekend: "Hypothetically speaking, I really do hope that we have a woman president in my lifetime. And whether it's next time or the next time after that, it really depends on women stepping up and subjecting themselves to the political process, which is very difficult."
