Paralympians are known for their ability to overcome obstacles and triumph no matter the odds. Few athletes compete at the highest levels of competition, and even fewer can do so while facing the physical challenges that define the Paralympics, making these remarkable athletes even rarer. Partly for this reason, the Paralympic Games are much smaller than the Olympics, featuring fewer athletes competing in five events instead of 15. But make no mistake -- these Games ask much more of their athletes.
Events at the Paralympics closely resemble those featured at the Olympic Games, but with some changes that raise their level of difficulty. For example, alpine skiing incorporates guides for the vision-impaired athletes. The guide skis ahead of the competitor, giving instructions over a radio headset to tell the skier when to turn, tuck and jump. For these skiers, their success becomes dependent not only on their own ability, but also clear communication with the guide. Both must be perfect to reach the podium at the Paralympics. However, Team USA found that balance between competitor and guide in 2010, medaling 11 times in the alpine events.
Wheelchair curling also is different from its Olympic counterpart. Instead of fielding both women's and men's teams, the Paralympics squad is mixed gender. Each team consists of four members, and each must have at least one representative of each gender. In addition wheelchair curling does not allow sweeping, making the primary "throw" of the stone much more important. These alterations to the rules change the strategy used by teams in each competition. Although Team USA has never medaled in wheelchair curling in the past, the sport is steadily gaining in popularity and Team USA is stronger than ever.
Sledge hockey and Nordic skiing/biathlon closely resemble their Olympic Counterparts, despite the use of specialized equipment. Viewers with knowledge of either Olympic sport will easily follow the Paralympic version. The countries favored to win gold in both sports should also seem familiar: the United States and Canada are favorites in sledge hockey, with Team USA defending its 2010 gold medal, and Russia is predicted to reach the podium often in Nordic skiing and biathlon.
Although Paralympic sports can seem foreign to fans of the Olympics, the spirit of the Games remains the same. Top athletes will compete in Sochi to be crowned as the very best in their respective disciplines. Team USA has found great success in these events in the past and looks to continue its success in 2014.

ISAT Reading Performance Definitions
Grade 6
Exceeds Standards • Meets Standards • Below Standards • Academic Warning
Students who exceed standards demonstrate a strong comprehension of text beyond their grade level. They use word, sentence, and paragraph clues to determine vocabulary meaning and context clues to interpret the meaning of sophisticated figurative expressions.
Students accurately identify explicit and implicit main ideas and specific details, making connections between several points in a passage. They use evidence implicit in the passage and prior knowledge to accurately draw inferences and conclusions and to extract concepts. They draw conclusions about character traits by examining dialogue and narration and can trace the development of complex themes. They can explain how setting contributes to meaning.
Students make and verify predictions about forthcoming information or events. They distinguish among facts, inferences, and opinions and analyze text to determine causes for actions. They analyze author's purpose and understand how the author's words create mood, imagery, and tone. They can explain verbal irony.
Students analyze structural features of text, synthesizing information to interpret diagrams, charts, and graphs. They follow complex multi-step directions.
Students who meet standards demonstrate an overall comprehension of grade level text. They use word, sentence, and paragraph clues to determine the meaning of unfamiliar vocabulary and use context clues to interpret figurative language.
Students recognize main ideas and distinguish them from supporting details. They draw inferences and conclusions using textual support and prior knowledge. They can determine character traits and the influence of setting on conflict as well as identify primary themes.
Students can make accurate predictions about forthcoming events. They can distinguish among facts, opinions, and inferences to analyze text. They recognize author's purpose as well as the use of literary elements and devices to influence the reader's attitudes and feelings. They identify mood and tone. They understand verbal irony.
Students analyze features of text to interpret diagrams, charts, and graphs. They follow multi-step directions.
Students at the below standards level demonstrate an incomplete understanding of grade-level text. They use only immediate context to determine the meaning of unfamiliar vocabulary. They tend to make literal interpretations of figurative language.
Students may be unable to separate main ideas from supporting details. They struggle to draw inferences and conclusions. They may identify plot events but are generally unable to trace the development of themes. They can identify facts about characters but not character traits. They have little understanding of the effect of setting on plot.
Students may be able to make obvious predictions. They sometimes identify obvious opinions and recognize the use of literary devices but lack the skills to analyze their impact. They seldom recognize mood or tone, and have little understanding of verbal irony.
Students can find directly stated information but cannot synthesize parts of a diagram, chart, or graph to form a conclusion. They follow only simple instructions.
Students at the academic warning level have a limited understanding of grade-level text. Due to a weak understanding of grade-level vocabulary, they cannot determine the meaning of unfamiliar vocabulary or figurative language.
Students cannot identify main ideas or distinguish supporting details. They comprehend only literal statements and have few insights into aspects of characterization or a story's theme. A lack of comprehension prevents them from following a sequence of events.
Students cannot make accurate predictions. They may be able to identify an author's broad purpose but do not recognize the use of opinions or reasons behind actions. They lack a familiarity with literary devices and genres and do not recognize mood, tone, or irony.
Students misuse or ignore aspects of practical text such as bold print and headings to understand text and struggle to follow simple directions.

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Susano'o requires to Mangekyo Sharingan Eyes. As the powers are drawn from both left and right eyes.
Proof again that you need Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi to use Susano'o. Please start researching before making crazy posts. Obito will need to awaken both abilities to use Susano'o. Also, it is possible to have more than one technique per eye, because sasuke has both Tsukuyomi and Blaze Release in his right eye.

The only idiot here is you....read the damn databook genius and then you will see that you do need them both.
I'll even put the picture right here for you.
Now I dare you to say we're idiots now, cause apparently the authors believes you need them so you do until proven wrong deal with it.

1) To have a Rinnegan means that the sharingan had evolve to the highest limits.. sharingan > MS > Rinnegan... this is as Madara told to the 5 kages in the battle.. that he awaken the rinnegan eyes during the Harashima battle... so to have the rinnegan means ones has to evolve his sharingan to MS then Rinnegan... ( sasuke is on his way... and i bet he will awaken his Rinnegan during his battle with Naruto..) so the left eyes of obito (rinnegan) means he has evolve the eyes from MS to Rinngean...
tobi's rinnegan was not naturally evolved it's the same rinnegan that madara awakened then gave to nagato then tobi stole it back. it's not the same as naturally awakening it

that may be what you think but what you think is wrong. he isn't waiting to be pushed to that limit he can't do it at all
Originally Posted by BudakPurba

but, its cools to see that obito know different skills... like kamui which his Ms can activate, and that Uchiha barrier.. no one ever use it...
once again, no. it isn't about chakra consumption it's about a lack of the ability to do it
Originally Posted by BudakPurba

and he maybe has the Harashima cells.. so he can heals himself quickly.. thats why the naruto rasengan didnt hurt much .. just a torn shirt and a broken mask... if he was pushed to his limits, maybe in the verge of death, then he will use it.. so for now, obito didnt show yet all of his powers and technique.. and do not forget , he is Madara disciples... so he still have something under his sleeve...
ands once agains, he most likely try to save chakra.. using a susanoo dealt with great risk.. to much chakra consumes.. he is fighting against the strongest shinobi... so he needs to fights carefully...
JUST SEE!!!... waits for the time to come... Obito's Susanoo will be revealed.... (just like tobi = Obito.. is not logic but its the facts)
Dont See doesnt means its not exist.. just the time will show it...
wtf are you talking about? it's not logic but it's facts? no dumbass it's been explained that tobi is obito and just how it all came to be, i personally don't agree with it because obito is going waaaaay to far just to try to provide himself with a false sense of happiness, but it all makes sense. just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it's illogical, that means that you are illogical.
once again he is not saving it for a time that he needs it he does not have it
Originally Posted by BudakPurba

nobody intelligent because it was said a long time ago that tsukuyomi and amaterasu are necessary for susanoo, therefore obito doesn't have susanoo especially since he doesn't even have to sharingan
Originally Posted by BudakPurba

1) Sasuke awaken susanoo without using Tsukuyomi and amaterasu first... he uses amaterasu after activating the susanoo... so the fact that Tsukuyomi and amaterasu needed to activate Susanoo is rubbish... the Susanoo, amaterasu, Tsukuyomi is like the technique that can be use by MS users... those technique is more likely a package for MS users... maybe the degree of the technique power or shape is different from one to anothers... such as Madara Susanoo is more high level than Itachi and sasuke... Sasuke amaterasu is more efficient than itachi because sasuke can manipulate the susano shape to become weapons or sheilds...
no. you are 100% wrong about everything you said first of all sasuke didn't use susanoo til the kage summit, but he used amaterasu like 5 minutes after he woke up after his fight with itachi, if you wanna get technical and say that was itachi's then fine. he also used amaterasu AND tsukuyomi against bee when they were trying to capture the hachibi and if you try to say that was after his susanoo which happened at the summit that was called BECAUSE sasuke "captured" bee then just gtfo cuz you're dead wrong

HA HA HA... he dont have his both eyes , yes that true... but who needs the same eyes to awaken the MS.. its just need 2 sharingan only .... doesnt matter who eyes is it.... Madara eyes... are u confirm that the eyes that madara uses now is his originals eyes... what if one is different to another... THE FACTS IS THAT MS CAN BE AWAKEN EVENTHOUGH THE EYES IS FROM DIFFERENT PEOPLE, JUST AS LONG AS IT WAS AT THE SAME PERSONS...
no once again you are completely wrong. he may have a shit ton of sharingan but that doesn't mean that if he puts one in he can use his own MS powers with it, each eye has it's own unique powers which is why danzo was able to use kotoamatsukami at the summit, because he had shisui's eye. once again even if he could use someone elses eye for his own MS he still wouldn't be granted susanoo because he can't use tsuku or amat. yes madara's eyes are his own which is why he can switch between EMS and Rinnegan at will, in fact, that's the reason that he has acess to the rinnegan at all. no other person in the world has awakened rinnegan so who elses eyes could they possibly be? have you seen tobi switch his rinnegan back to an EMS ever? no because there wouldn't be a point in having his own MS and madara's EMS at the same time

b) also as a powerfull attacks...

# but most importantly... look closely... those people who activate the Susanoo... what is the similarity... they vulnerable ( expose) to attacks if they not using the Susanoo... those poeple can be touch.. any strike / attacks can hit them ... so , to sheilds themself.. Susanoo is the best tools...
As for obito... he didnt need to activate the susanoo YET!!! because no one can land an attacks of him... If his live was threatened , Im positively sure that he will using the Susanoo
we don't need to look at anything the susanoo has because it's all irrelevant because no matter how positive or sure you may be it will never happen because he CAN NOT DO IT

No, he dont!!!!
Because, its doesnt matter... the eyes is not important... he still can use others sharingan in his possessions to replace it...
once again incorrect, he can't use any one elses eye to replace it, he can however use someone elses eye in the place of his own but i don't see why he would because that would mean he would have to first learn how the other persons eye techniques worked because it wouldn't turn into his MS(kamui) it would remain the same as whoever's eye atually was(i.e. if he used shisui's eye he would be granted kotoamatsukami

ok so he used a random sharingan to do izanagi with. what's your point? we all know that he has a vast amount of sharingan but that doesn't mean that he can just put one in and it will sudennly morph into the characteristics of his own MS which is apparently what you are trying to claim.
you just make yourself look like an idiot, him having two sharingan doesn't mean shit. in ur face haha
Originally Posted by BudakPurba

the proof of what? that he can use izanagi? yea congratulations you finally got something right. to bad every person that is up to date with the story has known that for months. izanagi and susanoo are two completely different things that have absolutely nothing to do with each other aside from them both being sharingan techs.
besides you are trying to prove he can use susanoo and now you're talking about izanagi for some reason and still sounding stupid the entire time

first of all your time frame is completely off. i don't even understand why anyone bothered arguing with you when you don't even know what happened or when. secondly the fact that you blatantly ignore facts from the data books and try to claim that kishi isn't using the same facts just shows how utterly stupid you are. anyway kakashi awakened his/obito's MS and then immediately passed out due to fatigue so he wasn't aware that it even happened because 1 he passed out immediately and 2 he wasn't exactly in a stable mind state because he just killed his best friend. that being said, you claim he only showed it when fighting madara when it was first seen against deidara before madara even became a part of the plot so get your shit straight. and the fact that he awakened his MS when he killed rin is indeed a new fact because nobody knew how it was awakened before this week so yes it's very new, does that mean that it's wrong or illogical, hell no. but you are to stupid to comprehend the simplest of matters so i wouldn't expect you to figure out the reason why he never used it before part 2
Originally Posted by BudakPurba

NO!!! he just use the susanoo... the questions here is not just does Obito has susanoo or not... it also does Obito has tsukuyomi and amaterasu or not? ... Madara also uses susano without using the tsukuyomi and amaterasu.. u cant just say that he cant susanoo or amaterasu or tsukuyomi because u didnt see he using it yet...
completely wrong again. i can't keep track of how much you fail anymore. sasuke did not just use susanoo first he used both amaterasu and tsukuyomi against bee and that was before the kage summit ever happened so try again retard. madara uses the susanoo without BEING SHOWN using amat or tsuku because he's enough of a beast to not need to use amat or tsuku against anyone he was toying with everyone and he is a very arrogant person so he used susanoo straight away to show everyone how inferior they are in comparison to him, but just because he didn't use ama or tsuku doesn't mean he doesn't have them. the fact that he used susanoo proves that straight away and there is no need to ask if he has them or not

first of all you're skipping a whole step in the sharingan ladder, it's 1T, 2T, 3T, MS, EMS, then rinnegan. second if you honestly think that obito got to the level of rinnegan 6 seperate times yet still hasn't awakend it in his own eye then you are completely retarded and all hope is lost for you. madara JUST said even tho obito has uchiha blood and senju DNA he still may not achieve the rinnegan. madara himself had senju dna implanted for years and nothing happened until he was near his death so no nobody awakened 6 sets of rinnegan.
i'm honestly not sure if i'm right about this but i believe that there were 6 rinnegan because of the chakra receptors that controlled the dead bodies, i think that because that link is present the bodies will take on one characteristic of the person pulling the strings and that characteristic is their eyes. the six paths of pain had linked vision because of the rinnegan and not to mention all of nagato's summons had rinnegan. it isn't a bunch of different sets of eyes, it's all just one pair being multiplied by chakra receivers. once again not totally sure but that's my thoughts

it is obvious to not gaining the highest power before starting the war... Obito must realise that to gain Ms in important before start the war... its stupid to let kakashi wondering aroung with his eyes... unless it was not IMPORTANT!!!
i honestly don't understand what point you're trying to make here. yes the rinnegan is so he can control the mazou but what are you trying to say?
yes he has lots of sharingan, and maybe there are a few that are MS, but no he does not have the EMS(where did you even get internal from?) because if he did then so would kakashi and also the shape of the eye would noticeably change which it hasn't. pretty sure obito doesn't even have a sibling he can take eyes from for the EMS so once again you fail hard as ****.
all in all not one thing you have said has made sense or been correct you clearly misinterpret a shitload of the story or just blatantly don't give a **** about solid facts. i'm pretty sure that you were just trolling for posts because this was seriously just pathetic
if only obito took his eye back from kakashi... He's have phasing, kamui, and mutha****in Susanoo!!!! And Mokuton! And KAton!He'd be the most unstopable life form of all time

no he would not have susanoo. it isn't two MS = Susanoo
amaterasu and tsukuyomi = susanoo
why won't you people understand this there's a ****ing databook scan on this page
It was stated by Itachi that you need both eyes to achieve this.

But Kishi can do anything so lets keep Kishi out and then Obito can not have Susanoo logically.
Same here/\http://www.narutobase.net/forums/images/smilies/xD.gif
He needs both sharingan eyes
I think you both eyes
he could have susano theroreticaly cause he did have an another sharigan we he for the paper chick cause he used inzangi on her, cause kakashi has a ms and hes not uchiha and for all we know he could have it cause he took shushi eye from danzo and he had a shit load from the massacer so he couldve unlocked a another ms with the other sharingan and unlocked it but we may see or not thats just my thoughts.
plus he uses the rinningan to and thats a combo of both major clans senju and uchiha
kishimoto wants to finish the manga by the end of the year... Just wait and read!!!
there all wrong you have to have achieve the amatersu and the tsukuyomi
You need two Sharingan eyes, one that holds Tsukuyomi and one with Amaterasu.
(My final post as an S-Jounin! :D)
*Sigh* It amazes me how many of you have lack of understanding in regards to Sharingan techs...
Let me attempt to address these misunderstandings...
1.) Obito DOES NOT have Susanoo and most likely never will. He doesn't even have both of his mangekyo's nor the techniques required to use Susanoo.
2.) Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi are the parent jutsu REQUIRED to use Susanoo. It has been stated on multiple occasions in the manga and even in the data book. Anything otherwise is just pure speculation until Kishi himself states otherwise.
3.) Sasuke DOES have Tsukuyomi and has used it twice if my memory serves me right. He used it on Killer B and on Danzo. It was even stated at those times that he was in fact using Tsukuyomi! What a lot of you are failing to understand, and it has been stated before in this thread, is that Sasuke does not have MASTERY over Tsukuyomi. Danzo even comments on how Sasuke's Tsukuyomi is inferior to Itachi's. Same can be said for Itachi. Itachi has MASTERY over Tsukuyomi as he is able to manipulate time and space with it. Sasuke has MASTERY over Amaterasu through Blaze Release...
4.) The fact that Madara Uchiha has Susanoo proves that he can in fact use Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, because they are the PARENT JUTSU for said technique. This is really elementary. I don't understand how people can not put two and two together on this...
5.) Susanoo is said to be RARE among mangekyo users, and that can be understood based on the requirements to have it. Yes, it can be said that Mangekyo Sharingan techs are sort of unique between users. Look at Obito and Shisui. They both have totally different Mangekyo techs. Obito has Kamui and Shisui has Kotoamatsukami. One could even say that Kamui is really two abilities in one: Long-range Kamui (Kakashi) and short-range Kamui (Obito). Notice how both eyes possess different ranges of the same technique...
6.) You do NOT need the Mangekyo Sharingan to use Izanami and Izanagi. Those are techs ALL Uchiha can use if they posses the Sharingan (3-tomoe most likely). Obito used it against Konan with a 3-tomoe sharingan.
7.) Lastly, I have a THEORY as to why Madara, Itachi, and Sasuke possess the Susanoo. I believe that Susanoo is possibly an ability that is passed down in certain lineages amongst the Uchiha. I have a gut feeling that Itachi and Sasuke are direct descendants of Madara and thus possess the same abilities. Like I said, this is just a theory.
Anyways, That's all I really have to say on the matter. Excuse me if I seem like an ******* in this post, but some of you guys lack of understanding was really starting to annoy me haha.
Obito's Susano'o will be Rin's body, and the ultimate attack will be the "RIN RIN SUPER RIN-TAMA".
Obito doesn't need Amaterasu or Tsukuyomi with Madara on his side, or even 2 Mangekyou, I'm pretty sure an Uchiha like Madara could figure out another way to awaken Susano'o.
Susanoo is awakened with Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu. Madara has Susanoo and Tsukuyomi so it's apparent that he has Amaterasu. He just favors Susanoo and Tsukuyomi over Amaterasu so that's why he doesn't use it. Sasuke favors Susanoo and Amaterasu over Tsukuyomi that's why he rarely uses it. Itachi was a genjutsu base user so he favored Tsukuyomi most and rarely used Susanoo and Amaterasu but he's a all around fighter so we saw Amaterasu and Susanoo a good enough amount of times.
As for Obito he has 3 forms of kamui. Susanoo isn't one and it's also rare for an Uchiha to awaken those abilities.
even obito himself stated that gaining the susano'o is "unique" or something along those lines

Hi Guys -
So I've been down the pumping road before. I have a 4 year old that I successfully pumped (while at work) for 1.5years and breastfed (when home) until she was 3. I've gone thru supply issues and demand changes and was able to come out of it... not this time.
I have a 5 month old who I nurse when I'm at home and I've taken all the steps to keep my milk supply up but I'm struggling. I am super fustrated and after 2 months of trying my best, I'm ready to bring on the formula and ease my stress levels.
Here's what I've done
- massages
- warm compresses
- brought in the senses (photos, smelling her clothes etc)
- Family bed - I nurse from the moment I get home until I leave to work
- Threw pumping "schedules" out the door and pump randomly but still about every 1.5 hours. Sometimes for 5 mins after letdown and sometimes for another 10 mins past letdown and sometimes waiting for two letdowns
- Ferugreek - Tablets taken
- I drink plenty
- Sleep ... sorta check
- I pump with a hospital grade pump while at work
I'm exhausted. At this time, last baby, I had a three day supply of extra milk for her so I was able to have a couple hours of alone time at the library. This time it's not the case. I barely make enough for her and last week we had to give her a little formula. My heart sank as I heard she took formula
So - I pump 2oz at 530am / 8oz thruout the day until 330pm / Nursing all the time at home....
She's 5 months old and is about 16 pounds (9 pounds at birth)
I'm mentally exhausted... and I feel like such a failure. I also feel that if I had just a couple hours to myself ... I could refresh but I have no milk to give her

How to Choose a Home Alarm System:
Alarm systems for the home can be complicated and expensive, so it's crucial to determine your security needs before you begin consulting with alarm companies.
Conducting Preliminary Research:
- Survey your home and determine how many windows and doors you want to be 'switched,' or integrated into the home security system.
- Determine possible locations for the control panel and keypads. You might find it convenient to place a keypad close to the front door. You might also want a keypad close to the bedrooms. The control panel commands the system, and the keypads allow you to program the system and turn it, or its components, on and off.
- Determine how far away windows and doors are from the control panel so that you know how far wires will be routed if you choose a wired alarm system or how far a wireless system needs to communicate with sensors. Keep in mind that it is difficult to install a hard-wired security system unless your house is still under construction.
- Decide whether you want a monitored security system that will be monitored 24 hours a day. The central monitoring station 'watches' your home for a monthly fee. A less expensive alternative is a basic sensor system with a dialer accessory that connects the system to your phone lines and dials preselected numbers if the house's security is breached.
- Consider your lifestyle. Does anyone in the family often get up in the middle of the night for a snack? Do you have a large pet that roams the house at night? Such circumstances will influence the type of motion sensor you select and how it is installed. It may also call for you or members of your family to take trips to the keypad to prevent false alarms.
Choosing the System:
- Consult with a reputable home security system adviser.
- Choose a system with a control panel that can monitor all the zones you have in your home. Each window or door integrated into the system is considered a zone. A basic system is capable of controlling eight zones. However, many panels permit the addition of expansion modules that allow the system to watch up to 32 zones.
- Determine if the routing of the wires for a hard-wired security system might be too long. With a wired system, you will have to drill holes in walls where wires will have to be routed. If the wire run appears too long to you, choose a wireless system.
- Make certain that a wireless system can perform up to the distance of the farthest zone.
- Be certain that the system you choose can accept fire-protection sensors, carbon monoxide sensors and combustible-gas detectors, anti-freeze-up low-temperature switches (especially in cold climates) and water detectors. Make sure that panic buttons are or can be included.
- Choose a system that is user-friendly. Make certain that inputting codes into the keypad is not a complicated process and is one that everyone in the family can learn quickly. You don't want to have to refer to the owner's manual as you input or try to interpret codes.
- Work the keypad of the system you select to assure yourself that it is easy to use. Encourage all family members to work the keypad so that you will select one that everyone can use comfortably.
About Wireless Home Security Alarm Systems:
Home security systems are steadily moving towards a more wireless solution. With news stories about children abducted from home, and increases in burglaries and home invasions, security is very important for households. Families have an innate desire to protect themselves and their belongings from intruders. Home security systems are being installed to act as the eyes and ears of families while they are away from home or asleep at night. Not only a valid defense against theft, wireless home security systems fight against fires and aids in other medical related emergencies
- Benefits: One of the greatest benefits to using a wireless home security system is the easy and quick installation. For most wireless systems, you only need to connect the device to an existing phone line, and it is ready to go. Another benefit is the cost; wireless systems costs are considerably cheaper than the other types of home security systems. This is largely due to the reduced need for the installer to deal with structural issues in your dwelling
- Features: The most well-known features of wireless home security systems are burglary, fire and medical monitoring and alarms. Other types of alarms that are associated with the device are emergency, gas and flood warnings. Other features includes integral keypad, hand-held transmitters, several different arming modes, choice of alarm types, programmable power supply, event logs and fixed frequency receiver types
- Other Uses: Wireless home security systems are not just attractive because of their easy installation practices. Homeowners like them because of their other uses as well. One use is the ability to contact the fire department if a fire breaks out while no one is at home. For other systems, to have this feature included will cost more than it does with wireless systems. With some of the wired systems out there, the fire alarm option can cost up to $1000 for installation and $20 a month in monitoring. For wireless systems, there is no or little installation cost, and monitoring isn't required. Wireless alarm systems can also be connected to lights and appliances in the home. Would-be burglars can be deterred when lights and appliances are turned on and off at random times. This gives the appearance that someone is home even when no one is
- Wireless Sensors: For the wireless alarm system to work, several wireless sensors are placed around the home. Burglary sensors are attached to doors and windows. When a door or window is opened while the alarm is engaged, the wireless sensor sends a signal to the main device. The device then blasts a siren and/or contacts the police, depending on the programming settings. In case of a fire, the sensor picks up on smoke in the environment, much like a smoke detector. A signal is sent to the system, and the fire department is notified through the connected phone line if the alarm isn't disengaged within a set time frame
How to Buy a Home Alarm System:
Each year more than 2 million American homes are burglarized, according to the National Burglar and Fire Alarm Association (alarm.org). Most of them have no alarm system. Electronic security devices provide affordable peace of mind, and recognizes and reacts instantly to unauthorized entry
- Survey your home and determine how many windows and doors you want integrated into the system
- Contact your insurance agent, a security system adviser, the NBFAA or your police department's crime prevention department for names of security system companies. Ask each company for an inspection, a recommendation and a quote in writing
- Decide whether you want to contract with a 24-hour central monitoring station for a monthly fee. If your system detects a break-in, it alerts security professionals to dispatch local police. Less expensive dialer accessories can link sensors to your phone lines and call preselected numbers if security is breached
- Consider your family's lifestyle. Do people or pets sometimes roam the house at night? Select appropriate sensors and locations
- Choose a system with a control panel that can monitor all the zones in your home. Each window or door integrated into the system is considered a zone. A basic system (about $400 without monitoring) can control eight zones, but many can be expanded to watch up to 32
- Determine locations for the control panel and keypads. The control panel commands the system and the keypads allow you to program the system and turn it or its components on and off. A typical setup puts one keypad near the front door and another keypad--and perhaps a panic button--close to the bedrooms
- Look for systems that connect to lighting controls, smoke and carbon monoxide sensors, and flood detectors. Also make sure system switches won't freeze in cold climates. (See How to Buy a Home Automation System.)
- Choose a user-friendly code that everyone in the family can remember in an emergency. Try the keypad to assure that it's easy to use
- Realize that it's difficult to retrofit a hardwired security system. With a wired system, you'll have to drill holes in walls so wires can be routed. If you want to avoid this expense and inconvenience, choose a wireless system

I will be at this game.
Also this is kinda related. I was at some club last night and guess who I see in there. None other than Jr Smith,Shump, and Kenyon so if they come out sluggish we know why.
Today our veteran center turns 39 so let's wish a warm Happy Birthday to Marcus Camby!
Joint of the day
February 22, 2013
Despite outscoring Toronto 60-53 in the first and fourth quarter combined, New York came up short in the second and third quarters managing only 38 points compared to the 47 points from the Toronto Raptors, as the Knicks fell just short as they were handed their fourth straight defeat - their longest losing streak in the Mike Woodson era - 100-98 at the Air Canada Centre by the Toronto Raptors. New York was led by Carmelo Anthonys 32 points, six rebounds and four assists over 42 minutes. J.R. Smith came off the bench to post 19 points on 7-12 shooting, four rebounds and four assists over 33 minutes. Amare Stoudemire added 14 points. Toronto was led by their new addition Rudy Gay who recorded 32 points, seven rebounds and two assists over 41 minutes. DeMar DeRozan added 18 points and six assists over 39 minutes.
February 13, 2013
In the final game before the All - Star break, Toronto rode a huge third quarter - outscoring the New York Knicks 28-18 - to a big road victory over the New York Knicks 92-88 at Madison Square Garden. New York was led by J.R. Smiths 26 points on 7-15 shooting over 34 minutes. Carmelo Anthony added 12 points and 12 rebounds over 41 minutes for his third double - do duble of the season. Raymond Felton posted 16 points and five assists over 41 minutes. Toronto was paced by Alan Andersons 26 points off the bench. DeMar DeRozan recorded 20 points and four rebounds over 40 minutes. New York finished the first half of the season with a 32-18 recorded, their best recorded after 50 - games since the 1996-97 season when the Knicks were 36-14.

interesting imigrated girl which is living in Toronto 4 years says there is no nightlife in Toronto
plus i saw interview Felton once says that they left city @ 3:30 in morning to go to Ny. SO where is time for partying and then 30% shooting.
This is the kind of game that good effort, good team ball, and veteran stability should be able to carry us through, even on the road. As always, we have to try to avoid letting some bench scrub who averages 2.1 PPG go off for 30 against us. Good start so far, but need to keep it going and maybe actually put somebody away for real before the closing minutes. Let's go Knicks!
Great half for us, especially the 2nd quarter. Defense has been superb. Need to keep it up coming out of the half and demolish these guys to continuing getting some swagger back.
Speaking of which, I'm just going to go ahead and leave my wallet here on the ground in this thread while I'm away for the half. I'm fairly certain it will be safe since no one is actually around.
Sweet 3 pointer from Melo!
Martin with an incredible game.
We'll we're in the playoffs, so that's something. KMart playing great and showing that an interior threat can be huge with our style of play (remember Amare's super high FG percentage games not too long ago). We need to keep everyone left healthy, get Chandler back, and maybe we can still make some noise this season.
I hope t.c. And kmart plays together alot. Woody is a bonehead so maybe not

Aiite .. 41 WINS !!!
I tried to tell you rady. Mugs here be hating and only post haterade. Three game winning streak and where they all at???? Bogus fickle b*****!!!! I liked your game thread and loved the win. Melo is back an that's three in row!!! I didn't get to see the game but I followed the ticker while watching the Hoyas get popped lol. I will be watching the fan night game Tuesday Knicks and C's!!!!
Toronto is playing less than .500 ball since getting Rudy, that's unreal I had them as a borderline playoff team with all the athletes they gave. Beating the Raps, Jazz and Magic is good but we need to beat Boston to prove anything.
Boston is down 8 with about 2 minutes left against Dallas as I type this ..... so looks like we are adding to our division lead.
Ill be at the Boston Garden Tuesday night for the game, my girls aunt manages a bank and gave me 4 tickets in a box.....can't wait to go haven't seen my Knicks in person since the season finale in Boston back in 99/2000 right before we went on that playoff run as the 8th seed......hopefully we get similar results this year as well!!!!
We beat Boston Tuesday night, and we have a clear path to the division title! LETS GO NYK!!!
EDIT: we will have a nice lead over Boston, Brooklyn is still on our ass.

Just back from the game.
A few thoughts.
K-MART= MONSTER. Simply do not win that game minus Mr.Martin.
Melo went for 37 but bit worried as his knee is clearly not right. Not sure how it looked on TV but from my POV at the ACC he's a playing through some serious knee pain.
Pray Camby can stay healthy, different team when Camby on the floor. Overall not pretty but great too see Knicks clinch a playoff spot live.

My son is 3 1/2 months old and doesn't seem to keep anything down.
He is very healthy he is gaining weight, very active and his eye are always bright and alert except, every time I nurse him he spits up when he is burped and then he will spit up again and again before he is fed again.
Sometimes there is quite a bit. Consistancy varies.
This has been going on for a month or so.
I haven't changed what I eat, I try to eat a balanced diet with plenty of fluids.
I have read that infants spit up around 6 months but this seems like too much.
Is there anything I can do?

Anti-psychiatry and anti-vaccine activists shamelessly taking advantage of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings
Quacks detest science-based medicine (SBM) in general, but there are certain specialties that they detest more than others. For instance, you won't find too many quacks attacking trauma surgery because even they know that when a person's body has been on the losing end of a confrontation with a bullet or a car, no amount of laying on of hands, homeopathic nostrums, "energy healing," or herbal remedies are going to stop the hemorrhage, mend broken bones, or repair holes in various internal organs. That's why even homeopaths will concede that "allopathic medicine" is good for emergencies. It's also why sketches like this one resonate:
However, from there the distrust of promoters of unscientific and pseudoscientific medical systems and treatment modalities for SBM appears to increase in direct proportion to the urgency and need for direct physical repair of damaged organs, with the possible exception of cancer, for which the standard physical treatment (surgery) is attacked nearly as much as chemotherapy.
Be that as it may, arguably the specialty most attacked by quacks is psychiatry. Many are the reasons, some legitimate, many not. For example, the Church of Scientology in particular despises psychiatry, even going so far as to maintain through its anti-psychiatry front group the Citizens' Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) a risibly nonsensical "museum" in Hollywood dedicated to psychiatry that they charmingly call Psychiatry: An Industry of Death. It's so ridiculously, painfully over-the-top, a veritable self-parody of anti-psychiatry hyperbole, that it inadvertently undermines the very attacks on psychiatry frequently leveled by Scientologists and quacks that it's meant to reinforce. Indeed, not having visited its website for several years, I notice that the CCHR has totally revamped it, now including a virtual 3D tour of the museum, along with video clips from its many "exhibits" available online. I'll have to file that away for later blog fodder, because the misinformation, cherry picking, and pseudoscience flow freely, as one would expect from a Scientology propaganda project. In the meantime, suffice to say that it's not just the Church of Scientology that despises psychiatry. It's founder L. Ron Hubbard and his disciples merely represent the most ridiculously over-the-top and vociferous anti-psychiatry group that I'm currently aware of.
Let's face it, psychiatry hasn't always had the best history. It's a very hard to study human behavior and disorders of human behavior in a rigorous fashion, but to my mind that didn't excuse the the widespread acceptance for many decades of the ideas of Sigmund Freud, which were little removed from pseudoscience in many respects. Also, psychiatry has not always had the best history, particularly in the early part of this century. Too often, psychiatry has been used as a tool of control rather than a means of helping people who are suffering. Perhaps the worst example is the misuse of psychiatry by various totalitarian regimes, be it the Nazis using it as a primary tool of its T4 euthanasia program or the Soviet Union declaring enemies of the state to be mentally ill and shipping them off to Gulags.
Although there is a ways to go, however, psychiatry in 2012 is much better than psychiatry, say, 50 or 75 years ago. It wasn't so long ago that, popularized by Walter Freeman, thousands of "ice pick lobotomies" were performed for all manner of indications, few of which had what we would consider to be compelling scientific support to back them up. Over the last half-century, better psychiatric drugs to treat different conditions have been developed, leading to their widespread use for a number of indications.

Henry County is required by law to
comply with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Stormwater
NPDES Phase II Permit Program. This program requires that
all regulated communities, including Henry County, prepare
stormwater management plans to control runoff of stormwater
from both point and non-point pollution sources.
The Henry County Stormwater Management
Department (HCSMD) was established in 2004 and is responsible
for the development and implementation of stormwater pollution
abatement projects within unincorporated Henry County.
Under the Federal
Clean Water Act ( Download the overview of the act.), each county and municipality throughout the nation is issued a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit. The goal of the permit is to stop polluted discharges from entering the storm drain system and local waterways. The Henry County Stormwater Management Department's pollution abatement projects are designed to meet the requirements of the NPDES Permit
The Stormwater Program has two major elements — Reduce
Pollution and Flood Control. Pollution Abatement involves
compliance with federal regulations, and in essence, constitutes
the model program components (i.e., Public Education, Inspection/Enforcement,
Illicit Discharges/Illicit Connections, Program Compliance)
while Flood Control is essential for the protection of life
and property.
A major focus of the program is the
control and elimination of stormwater pollution through compliance
with the NPDES municipal stormwater permit. Henry County is
currently in its first year of a five year cycle.

Skip to comments.Wendy Davis Won't Filibuster Abortion Legislation During Special Session
Posted on 07/02/2013 7:50:09 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
Republicans in the Texas legislature will try once again to pass sweeping abortion restrictions as they gather Monday for a 30-day special session. And this time, it just might work.
A spokesman for Democratic state Sen. Wendy Davis, who stood and spoke for more than 12 hours to help kill the bill last week, says she won't filibuster the legislation a second time.
"You can't have a 30-day filibuster," says spokesman Rick Svatora. "The point is [Republicans] mismanaged things so badly the first time around it allowed a filibuster to occur. The Lt. Gov. [David Dewhurst] has pledged he won't allow that to happen this time around."
Speaking at the National Right to Life convention this weekend, Dewhurst, R-Texas, said: "I am not discouraged. We will pass this bill out of the legislature." That doesn't mean the bill will pass without a fight.
Republicans were unable to pass the measures last week in large part because of Davis's filibuster, but also because hundreds of protesters crowded the Texas Capitol just before the midnight deadline and cheered to the point where senators on the floor could not hear over the noise.
(Excerpt) Read more at usnews.com ...
Who gives a crap what the amoral bitch does.
Nike is bringing out a Wendy Davis sneaker line..
Fighting for the right to wring the heads off babies. What courage!
My sister, who is trapped in Sheila Jackson Lee's district, said the silver lining from this fiasco is that RINO Dewhurst may have sent what little is left of his political career down the johnny-flusher.
Do other Texans feel the same way?
She probably still has a rash from the Depends.
I'm trapped in this abortionist's district, and I'm going to work my butt off to get her canned next year.
Tea-Party Activist Konni Burton Challenges Wendy Davis for Texas Senate Seat
A fellow right-wing wag has suggested to me that we start referring to her as a Peebagger.
The story was that she had a catheter inserted. It would have been attached to a bag which collected the urine, with the bag being secured to one of her legs. (Don't ask me how I would know such a detail.) It would have been easily concealed by a dress. It enabled her to filibuster and pee to her hearts content - er - her bladder's content.
Brilliant!! LOL!!!!
Texas Sen. Wendy Davis dons urinary catheter for 11-hour abortion filibuster
"We must not allow the other side to remove from our health providers the ability to serve our needs in substandard front alley clinics!
Oh yeah, and don't forget to vote for me when I run for governor."
Since 'ol' Wendy dear" wore a Depends and, as reported, "a catheter", for 'the Cause', there is no show-stopping, stupendous, and outlandish thing she could do, to degrade herself more fully, for her next appearance.
For the record:
I do not, have not, and will not, support the harming of life in the womb.
Dewberry AND Straus look like idiots on this. Straus for not passing this in the House, after it passed in the Senate (he and Boehner are competing for most dubious Speaker) and, Dewie for holding it til the end of the session.
I'm pretty sure that if Wendy Davis weighed about 20 or 30 pounds more than she does she in no way would be receiving all this adulation. People are so superficial and they are consequently easily bamboozled.
In my opinion, yes, as evidenced by Ted Cruz representing our state in DC.
These women don't like men legislating over their right to their bodies in late term abortions of murder. Does not fit this situation. Blah blah blah. No battle flag to fight for, I can see. Wendy seems pathetic to carry this crusade of death; she seems to be a mean person to take up a cause in protecting these so called doctors of care to become some lunatic of murder protected by a law that she is hoping for.
Take her to an abortion clinic so she can see this murder firsthand. Maybe, when she sees the baby, she can get this issue. I read some of the comments on another blog about this. The comments of women were the worse. Some of these hateful women should not even be mothers period with this hateful seed that they carry. Death penalty bad. To murder innocent babies, they and Wendy side with. Another reason/and proof, that our nation is in a free fall from God.
This is about Democrat's long-term goal of taking Texas blue. Abortion is the vehicle in this instance.
In the past, Democrats and the corrupt MSM howled in outrage at all the corrupt money in political campaigns and urged cleaning it up with public financing. Republicans had the campaign money advantage so Democrats howled self-righteous indignation. And then Obama raised $1 billion, much from questionable sources. Not a peep from the corrupt MSM or Democrats about this or evil money in politics.
One thing I have learned is that with Liberals whatever they're screaming loudly about is subterfuge, a ruse and simply the horse being ridden to access power, by coup or whatever means necessary.
That's what Wendy Davis is doing here and this is why the corrupt MSM are pimping her.
Yes, I realize the media is building her up for a run maybe governor. Though, if that state is so fragile that the consensus would not support a law against late term abortions, then we are in trouble more than anyone thought. Most importantly between our views, the supporters of this law to block late term killings should carry on.
Abortion should stand as the model for why conservatives oppose progressives. I well remember the original cries to legalize abortion to take it out of the "alley and coat hanger" age and promote health. From there it progressed to a form of birth control, and now they push for infanticide. Make a mistake with birth control? Take a Mulligan, only now it takes a life. An elderly friend and his wife literally adopted the child of a minority, crack addicted whore. They went through a rough withdrawal period, but now have a bright, cute, loving and well adjusted child. I have no doubt the world will be better off with this child than having it sucked out of the womb. Life is precious and deserves to be protected.
Wendy Davis——flash in the pan. Lets hope the Texas Tea Party ushers her out the door at the ballot box. Y'all don't come back now—hereya?
Wendy Davis is this year's Cindy Sheehan - only better looking.
Nobody will remember her name in 3 months.
Wish I still lived in Tarrant county so I could vote against her.
Lord, I hope so.
I understand 12 or 14 other states have similar laws?
What would be wrong for a young girl who is pregnant, faced with the usual single parent dilemma and all the stats that point to all the problems vs what happens to the baby if adopted to a loving family, is given the option to have a family pay her for her baby ie to adopt it?
I'm talking about the family enters into a contract with the to be mother to:
1. Pay her medical and dental expenses to have the baby.
2. Provides an education trust fund that will pay for college or technical school for her.
3. An allowance for clothing, dental, etc.
It seems the only options given to these young girls, is abortion or to have the baby in an environment of poverty.
Giving up the baby for adoption should be a noble choice and they should reap some financial reward for that.
Jerry Falwell as I recall provided a home for these girls when they were pregnant. That's fine, but you carry a baby to term, you should have the opportunity to have the baby adopted, and be financially rewarded for it.
Americans pay thru the nose to various agencies for babies from abroad. Why can't we do that here? How is this different that entering into contract with a surrogate mother?
How about the cheap wig, with the Micheele bangs?
If one notices the media doesn't relate this law to the Kermit Gosnell trial and they don't go detail about the law only using Davis' description of the law.
It won't be the same without Witch Windy and the gallery of Harpies for Infantacide.
No but you can leave the State, and hole up in a motel in Oklahoma, to prevent a quorum.
The same tactic was used recently in Ohio I believe, democrats know no shame, but republicans would never stop this low, which is why we are so often losers.
he knows a liberal judge will throw it out at some point

The winter landscape can be kind of dull and dreary, with or without snow. To take the monotony out of your yard in winter, try adding color to your landscaping with some of these plants:
They may seem obvious for adding winter color, but think about the many ways these needle-leaved evergreens can be used. Pine, spruce, juniper, yew, and hemlock offer an amazing variety of sizes and shapes that fit well around your home's foundation, in landscape borders and islands, and along the edge of woodland gardens. For a different look, some yews, arborvitae, and false cypress have gold or yellow foliage.
Boxwood, hollies, and rhododendrons are just a few of the shrubs that hold their leaves over the winter. Some of the broadleaf evergreens have berries to provide further color, while others add yellow, red, or purple to the winter landscape with their foliage.
The multiple stems of red-twig dogwoods drop their leaves to show off bright red bark in the winter. They make great specimen plantings when placed in a location that will be highly visible from the street or a window of your house. Several Japanese maple cultivars also have red twigs, making them excellent accent plants for winter.

Although they should be cut back annually, many of these versatile plants can be left standing until early spring to add form and color to your garden over the winter. They provide a nice contrast when placed near evergreen trees and shrubs.
There are some flowering perennials that will add interest to the garden in winter. Even after their fall color fades, the stems and flower heads of Autumn Joy sedum will stand out against the snow in your flowerbeds. Many hellebores, such as Helleborus orientalis (Lenten rose), have dark green foliage that persists through cold weather and snow. Liriope (lilyturf) has evergreen foliage in attractive, thick clumps.

Stanley Pranin's "Zone Theory of Aikido"
25 Online lessons to challenge your thinking on the fundamentals of aikido!
Hi, I'm Stanley Pranin here to tell you about my new online video course, the "Zone Theory of Aikido". You know I've been involved in Aikido for more than 50 years. To tell the truth, Aikido has been my life. I can't think of a better discipline to train well-rounded, fit people with excellent self-defense skills.
That being said, I believe we still have a long way to go to develop more refined teaching methodologies to accelerate students' advancement in the art. What do I mean? Well, I travel frequently in Aikido circles and train with practitioners of many different styles. I've found similar training patterns regardless of the approach to Aikido. I consider one of the biggest hurdles to improving one's skills is the almost universal tendency to resort to physical strength in attempting to make techniques work.
When aikido practitioners get stuck, they tense up and try to force their way through the technique. I see this everywhere I go. For many years, I experienced the same thing in my own training. Only recently, have I been able to discover ways of using the body as a unified structure when applying techniques. What a difference this has made!
This has been a liberating discovery that has allowed me to totally rethink my way of approaching the execution of techniques. My techniques work now, consistently, even against training partners of superior strength. This has never happened before!
In the "Zone Theory of Aikido" video course consisting of 25 lessons, I'm going to walk you through this innovative approach to doing aikido. I will show you ways of using your body more efficiently. I will explain the importance of positioning, balance-breaking… how to use atemi, kiai, and O-Sensei's hitoemi stance to give you a tremendous advantage in practice. I look forward to sharing this whole new world of training principles and strategies with you.
Readers will be able to access the 25 lessons of the "Zone Theory of Aikido" online and also download their computing device. This offer is available for the special price of $47.

Deeplinks Blog posts about National Security Letters
2013 in Review: EFF Convinces Court to Declare National Security Letters Unconstitutional - President's Panel Agrees
As the year draws to a close, EFF is looking back at the major trends influencing digital rights in 2013 and discussing where we are in the fight for free expression, innovation, fair use, and privacy. Click here to read other blog posts in this series.
We were pleasantly surprised by Verizon's announcement this week that it will become the first major telecommunications company to release a transparency report. In early 2014, Verizon will follow in the footsteps of companies like Google, Facebook, and Apple, and will finally adopt this best practice and begin to tell its customers, and the American public, the details about how often law enforcement comes knocking with requests for user data. Verizon's welcome announcement came the same day that Google updated its transparency report, which it has regularly released since 2010. Google's latest report details significant and troubling increases in government requests to remove content from the Internet.
On Tuesday, yet another one of the nine companies originally implicated in the PRISM program released its first transparency report. Apple joins the ranks of Google, Yahoo, and Facebook, among others that have issued reports that detail the number of requests the companies receive from governments for user data.
Ever since Google issued its first transparency report in early 2010, EFF has called on other companies to follow suit and disclose statistics about the number of government requests for user data, whether the request they receive is an official demand (such as a warrant) or an unofficial request. After all, users make decisions every day about which companies they trust with their data, therefore companies owe it to their customers to be transparent about when they hand data over to governments and law enforcement.
In a welcome and commendable move, LinkedIn, the business social networking giant, has filed an amicus brief in EFF's landmark case challenging the statute governing National Security Letters (NSLs) as an unconstitutional prohibition of free speech (read the full brief here). LinkedIn has also filed a motion with the FISA court arguing it's their First Amendment right to publish how many users are affected by FISA court orders, which have been at the center of the NSA scandal.

Going too far?February 11,2013
They voted for him, yet a growing number of American liberals are angry over President Barack Obama's reliance on the use of drones and his support for the National Defense Authorization Act. They argue that the president's embrace of these policies is even more extreme and conservative than that pursued by his predecessor, George W. Bush.
"If Bush had done the same things as Obama, then more people would have been upset about it," Daniel Ellsberg observed. "He is a Democrat, though, and to an extent can get away with it."
Ellsberg, who is famous (or notorious, depending on one's political preferences) for having leaked the Pentagon Papers in 1971, is among the plaintiffs in a court case challenging the NDAA. He and others have accused the Obama administration of using the law to grant itself unconstitutional new powers.
"In order to protect us from terrorism, the government is taking away our constitutional rights," said Michael Moore, the controversial liberal filmmaker and activist who made the anti-Bush documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11."
For its part, the government vigorously denies that the NDAA threatens ordinary citizens and it has appealed a judge's ruling that the act is unconstitutional, arguing that the White House must have such powers if it is to successfully fight terrorism.
Critics insist the broad language used in the act to define what constitutes a terrorist or what actions amount to support for terrorist groups could unfairly impede journalists, activists and academics. The case, now on appeal in New York, could reach the Supreme Court.
Liberals are also greatly concerned about the Obama administration's expansion of the use of unmanned drones to attack suspected militants, and the president's nomination of John Brennan to head the Central Intelligence Agency has only heightened the criticism. Brennan, one of Obama's most trusted advisers, has been a major proponent of the use of drones.
Many Americans, in and out of government, see significant advantages to the deployment of drones, mostly because they do not put any pilots at risk. However, they have created deep resentments in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen where drone attacks have killed innocent civilians as well as suspected jihadists (including at least one American citizen, Anwar al-Awlaki, who was identified as a major figure in the planning of attacks on the country of his birth, and, significantly, his teenage son).
And some critics ask that if the United States believes it is legally justified in using drones as military weapons overseas, what's to stop America's enemies from embracing the same logic and sending their drones to attack this country?
Obama also faces pressure to make public secret documents that lay out his administration's legal rationale for killing suspected terrorists (including American citizens such as al-Awlaki). Some are comparing Obama's national security policy to that of the Bush administration's reliance on secret legal memos to justify torture techniques such as waterboarding.
"The parallels to the Bush administration torture memos are chilling," Vincent Warren, executive director for the Center for Constitutional Rights, observed. "Those were unchecked legal justifications drawn up to justify torture; these are unchecked justifications drawn up to justify extrajudicial killing."
The president is not without support. His 2008 election opponent, Sen. John McCain of Arizona, and two other Republican senators filed a court brief in defense of the NDAA, arguing that the policy is necessary on national security grounds.
Which side is right? As long as terrorism remains a genuine threat to America's security, the debate will rage. And, in a way, that's a triumph for the terrorists.MORE IN EditorialsProtesters converged on a bank in Montpelier early this week to show their solidarity with the...

Big Red blanks Weir, 5-0
WEIRTON – Sometimes soul searching can go a long way toward making an improvement and it did Thursday night for visiting Steubenville Big Red, which had some timely hitting and took advantage of a couple of Weir High errors to take home a 5-0 win at Ed Bowman Field.
It was a bounce-back win for Big Red (3-1) after absorbing its first loss a night earlier at Wheeling Park.
"We didn't play very well last night (Wednesday) so we did some talking before coming over here today and we played a lot better," said veteran Big Red coach Fred Heatherington.
Heatherington got a complete game win from lefty Anthony Zorne, who tossed a nifty three-hitter.
Senior left fielder Pat Pizzoferrato led the Steubenville offense with two of his team's five hits. Pizzoferrato, who smashed a home run over the left-center field fence in the fourth inning, was on base all three times he batted, scoring three times and he drove in two runs. John Linn and designated hitter Justin Corsi each singled, while Evan Westlake belted an RBI double.
Heatherington was pleased with the pitching performance of Zorne.
"Anthony threw a lot of strikes, stayed ahead in the count, which kept our fielders on their toes, and we put the ball in play," he said. "We also ran the bases well, so we had a good complete game."
Zorne, who kept the Red Rider hitters off balance throughout, gave up just three singles, walked five and struck out five.
Pizzoferrato drove in Big Red's first run of the game in the top of the first inning with a single to right field that brought home second baseman John Linn, who had singled and stole second base. Corsi followed Pizzoferrato with a single and both moved up on a wild pitch.
Westlake grounded to third base and while Corsi got caught between second and third, Pizzoferrato raced for home and crossed the plate before Corsi was tagged out.
Big Red plated another run in the third inning when Pizzoferrato hit his homer.
"Pizzoferrato has been hitting the ball hard, but everybody has been doing that," Heatherington said. "If we can continue to do that and put pressure on the defense, then your chances are good to win the game."
Big Red got two more runs in the sixth inning. With two outs, Pizzoferrato walked and scored all the way from first base when a Corsi ground ball got under the glove of the Red Rider second baseman and then got under the glove of the right fielder. Corsi scored on Westlake's RBI double to left-center field.
"We had some untimely errors," said Rider coach Bob Rosnick, whose team dropped its third game after one victory.
"We had two outs and nobody on then gave up a walk and that double error really hurt. You can't do that against a good team. Against good teams like that you have to play a clean game, make the routine plays and we didn't make the routine plays today."
Rosnick used three pitchers with senior Zach Knuutila starting for Weir High. He went three innings yielding two hits and two runs while walking one. Michael Curtis relieved him and pitched the fourth inning giving up the home run to Pizzoferrato and struck out two. Mitch Viakley finished the game yielding two unearned runs, a hit and a walk.
Weir High takes the field next on Saturday hosting Buckeye Local in a doubleheader while Big Red travels to Hebron Lakewood near Columbus Saturday to play Hebron Lakewood and Riverview in what amounts to a doubleheader.

1940: During a nighttime air raid by the German Luftwaffe during World War II, the dome of London's St. Paul's Cathedral is pierced by a Nazi bomb, leaving the high altar in ruin. It was one of the few occasions that the 17th-century cathedral would suffer significant damage during Germany's nearly ceaseless bombing raids on London in the fall of 1940 and the cathedral would survive the war largely intact.

The Bloomington Bobcats (1-8) came to Refugio's Bobcat Stadium last Friday night and the Refugio Bobcats dealt them a devastating 70-0 loss. Ranked the No. 1 Class 2A team in the state and an overwhelming favorite to win the gam,e, the Refugio Bobcats took the District 30AA crown.
The end result was another lopsided district win and a perfect 5-0 record, the second straight undefeated 10-0 regular season under Coach Jason Herring. The win set up a bi-district match with Tidehaven Thursday night at 7 in Victoria Memorial Stadium.
Bloomington opened the game by taking the kickoff at its 23 and three plays later and a minus five yards, punted to Refugio at its 33. Refugio quickly notched its first score in four plays as quarterback Kyle Hendley hit Irvin Fox with a 15-yard pass in the end zone. Eric Martinez tacked on the extra point, giving Refugio a 7-0 lead at 8:03 left in the initial period.
Bloomington went three and out again on its next possession and again had to punt. Refugio set up at its 18 where Hendley hit Jourdan Ortiz on the first play with a pass good for 33 yards. That play was followed by a 23-yard run by Terrance Smith.
Add in a roughing the passer penalty and Refugio was again knocking on Bloomington's door. An 11-yard pass play to Ortiz put the ball at the Bloomington one and Smith added the TD on a run. The score upped to 14-0 with Martinez' kick.
Reeling from the two quick scores, Bloomington again could not move and punted to Refugio at its 25. Three plays later quarterback Aaron Perez found Brian Rameriz on a pass and 69 yards later another score was posted. Martinez kicked the PAT to give Refugio a commanding 21-0 first quarter lead.
Refugio's next score came following a Bloomington punt to the local's 22-yard line. That drive took seven plays with the big pass play from Hendley to Bryan Castellano, good for 36 yards. Hendley capped the drive with a one-yard scoring pass to Ortiz and Martinez made it 28-0 with his successful kick.
Coach Herring had been experimenting with several different kickoffs during the game and this time Martinez executed an almost perfect onsides kick. He pooched-kicked the ball to the left sideline and Cory Brown recovered the ball to give Refugio good field position at the Bloomington 40.
Three plays later Refugio was again on the scoreboard. Ortiz made another great sideline catch of a Hendley pass at the Bloomington nine-yard line. On the next play Hendley hit Brown in the end zone for the TD. Martinez made the conversion and Refugio led midway through the second quarter, 35-0.
That wasn't the end of the scoring for the half as Refugio would tally three more times in the next few minutes of play. The locals had again set up after a punt at their 48. Ortiz made another big 39-yard reception to get the Refugio offense to the Bloomington seven. Fox then took a pass from Hendley into the end zone for a TD. With 4:00 left in the half Martinez made the score 42-0 and more was to come.
On Bloomington's next possession a pass was intercepted by Ysidro Gonzales to give Refugio the ball at the Bloomington 12. Two plays later Smith ran in from the one. Martinez kicked the PAT, and Refugio led 49-0.
As if that wasn't enough, Bloomington would make another blunder on its next possession that led to a Refugio score. Farrell Flowers intercepted a pass and Refugio set up at its 33. Three plays later Ortiz made another outstanding catch of a Perez pass good for 26 yards and a touchdown. Martinez put the nail in the coffin with his kick and the locals had their biggest halftime lead ever at 56-0.
On top of that, halftime stats showed Refugio with 20 first downs while Bloomington netted only one. Refugio had amassed 464 total yards of offense while the tough Refugio defense held the visitors to 23 net yards.
In the second half Coach Herring would once again unload his bench. Surprisingly Bloomington would get the ball on an onsides kick to start the second half but the Refugio reserves came through, holding them scoreless and even tacking on two more scores.
The Refugio subs would score near the end of the third quarter as they drove 70 yards. Despite Perez having a 61-yard touchdown run called back due to a penalty, the locals would come back and score on a 36-yard run by Danny Hernandez. Flowers added a two-point conversion on a run and Refugio now led 64-0.
Refugio's last score of the game came midway in the final stanza after Brian Hobbs recovered a Bloomington fumble. Starting at the Refugio 31, Richard Tuttle made 19 yards on a run. A 15-yard penalty moved the locals to the Bloomington 35 and there Hernandez broke loose on another scoring run to make the final score 70-0.
Final statistics had Refugio leading in first downs 26-7 and total yardage 608-102. Hendley had another good night passing for four TDs and 201 yards on 12 of 14 completions.
Perez also had a good night passing for one TD and completing four of six for 145 yards. Refugio receivers are very good but it is Ortiz who led the way with nine of 11 catches for 176 yards and two touchdowns.
Refugio is once again making an appearance in the playoffs, its 30th in the last 31 years. The Bobcats will be in Region IV, Division II and will be playing Tidehaven (5-4) for the bi-district title and a chance to advance further in the playoffs.
Refugio and Tidehaven have met four times in the past with Refugio winning all of the games. The two last met in 2001 with the Bobcats winning 51-6.
