Town Square
A case for anonymity
Original post made by civility is missing, Menlo Park: Allied Arts/Stanford Park, on Nov 20, 2012
That's why I choose to post anonymously. My ideas then have a chance to be discussed on their merits, neither praised or dissed because of who posted them. I hope The Almanac continues to allow that possibility.

Yep, I'm right there w/you. Those who choose to post under their own names are the ones who criticize those who don't. Everyone has a good reason for choosing a handle or using their real name & those reasons should be respected by others.
I've had very real concerns related to potential harassment & when I began posting re our scurrilous pass landlords, our group's attorney encouraged me to use a handle vs. my real name. I took his advice & am glad that I did.
Happy Thanksgiving! I'm grateful we don't have to use our real names here.

I have always posted under my real name, on at least one occasion someone has posted as me using my name. I understand why some people don't want to use there name. I know for a fact that an Atherton woman is alive and well today because of several posts that were done anonymously ....I am grateful for those posts.

As predicted, only anonymous posters are willing to defend this constant flow of garbage. If you care about your children, you should block the Almanac at your firewall.

Dear Hmmm, If your attorney advised you to post baseless threats and accusations, you really need a new attorney.

if you really have any, why aren't you posting under your real name? Is it because you have to live in this community and realize what a bunch of small minds live here? And if you express your true opinions it could have detrimental effect on your livelyhood? Seriously, if you want to question the validity of other people posting under pseudonims, your post might be taken seriously if you didn't do the same.

Exactly, MV. Not sure what "baseless threats and accusations" I post, but I'm not losing any sleep over them. Oh, yeah, change lawyer - don't need to, we won our case.
Happy Thanksgiving, Menlo Voter. I hope you & yours have a lovely holiday.

Thanks, MV! We're in EPA, on the west side, so not bad here. But yes, it's scary in Belle Haven now - it's awful how the gangs terrify the innocents in the area w/their violence. Our dogs keep us pretty safe & we keep our wit about us.
We have a lot to be grateful for this year & are happy to have family to celebrate Thanksgiving with.

I'm a pretty average involved MP resident, and I almost always post anonymously here. There are people in this city who are borderline fanatics, and a few times I've been excoriated in public postings by one of them.I am not a council member (or candidate for any public office) or a city commissioner. Why give anyone ammunition to attack me?
Some forums do require you to assume an alias that you are supposed to use consistently. But I don't know of any forums that demand real names. If TownSquare required this, I would go along with it. But real names? Nope, outta here.

When you have ideas to discuss, try visiting a coffee shop with your friends. Even if your friends are complete scoundrels, at least there is a vetting process. I would never ask my children to take advise from strangers, and I hope none of the Almanac readers would do so.
There are plenty of heated discussions on Facebook. You can always send a direct private message to anyone that makes a comment. On town square, there is no way to take the discussion offline, or even respond directly to an individual comment. Town Square is one long stream of gibberish.

I enjoy this forum a lot. My experience has been that I have been equally enlightened, and turned off, by the posts of many people regardless of whether or not they used a handle, or a name (who knows if they are real anyway). Just to name a few of my personal favorites, Pogo, Menlo Voter, Hmmm, and Peter Carpenter; I sometimes agree with them, and I sometime don't, but regardless, I have a great deal of respect for their opinions. To the point that they have actually changed my thinking more than once.

POGO - thank you for your insights as well. You're a good contributor to local issues that really affect our quality of life, whether we're up in the hills or down by the bay. I stopped to help someone w/their busted grocery bag up in your neck of the woods recently & I actually thought to myself, "For all I know, this could be POGO." It made the world a bit smaller.

The anonymous bloggers' identities are riddles, wrapped in mysteries, inside enigmas; but perhaps there is a key. That key is protection against scurrilous attacks
a resident of Atherton: Lindenwood

Peter Carpenter is a registered user.
"That key is protection against scurrilous attacks"
And what protects named posters from scurrilous attacks by anonymous posters - particularly since attacks against unknown/anonymous persons produce virtually no damage/harm to the real person who is using an anonymous shield ( except perhaps to their anonymous ego)?

More civility to fellow residents and neighbors is in order whether or not the person is anonymous. Unfortunately, there are too many who seem to enjoy making personal attacks. I am grateful the Almanac has policies to limit that even though it happens anyway, and I am really grateful the Almanac allows anonymity.

It takes Kristin Gundred about a minute to remember when she created Dum Dum Girls. It was 2008, she determines, but her sound rarely draws comparisons to anything originating within the past decade — or the one before that. Even rummaging through the '80s isn't too fruitful. Instead, her powdered-sugar pop salutes the '50s and '60s — days when girl groups and their harmonized melodic sparkle dotted the charts. I Will Be (Sub Pop), Dum Dum Girls' first full-length, champions all those antiquated girl-group tropes: vocal harmonies, breezy instrumentation, and cooing phrases of endearment like "baby" and "girl." Moving with a fleeting sweetness, the record attempts to recapture a zeitgeist that's long been history.
Dum Dum Girls originated in a California bedroom as a MySpace project. At first, Gundred penned folk songs on an acoustic, but she decided to save that angle for later in life. "I needed to go electric. It took a couple of tries to realize, 'Well, why don't I just incorporate all of my favorite sounds into what I'm doing?' " The drums would bear what she calls "classic Motown production." Distorted, fuzzy guitars appeared because "I'm kind of a rock-and-roll person at heart"; vocals were cribbed from the girl-group era because of how "æthereal and angelic" they felt. Ample amounts of vocal reverb were added too — "There is nothing more amazing than singing in a choir in a church and hearing that natural hanging reverb."
But Gundred's adoration of the old-fashioned stretches beyond simple sonic quality. It begins with the name, which pays tribute to the Vaselines' 1989 album Dum-Dum, or Iggy Pop's "Dum Dum Boys," or Talk Talk's "Dum Dum Girls." Maybe all three. Gundred intended the cover of I Will Be to repurpose a still from exploitation director Jesus Franco's 1969 women-in-prison flick Island of Despair (a/k/a 99 Women). When that idea didn't work out, she went through her mother's photo albums, landing on an awkward candid of her mom going through a closet while wearing fake eyelashes. The cover for I Will Be is straight out of 1972.
Since Dum Dum Girls are now a flesh-and-blood band (they come to Bank of America Pavilion this Sunday), the on-stage fashion also pays homage: four women don black leather, leggings, and heels. "I wanted to carry on that tradition of entertainer," says Gundred, citing a handful of striking looks that qualify as "the classics": "the Supremes with matching dresses and coiffed hair, or the Ramones with their leather jackets, or even as simple as Elvis having this highly stylized look." The final matter of importance is the Dum Dum Girls' names. Gundred is known as Dee Dee, and if bandmates Jules, Bambi, and Sandy are somehow not using aliases, their given names are absurdly perfect.
Despite the many nods to the past, Gundred feels her work is more than a simple throwback because her primary tools — "nasty electric guitars, reverb vocals, fuzz bass, driving drum beats" — exist as "timeless styles." Dum Dum Girls' lo-fi, home-recording-bred approach will evolve: her upcoming solo EP uses an actual bass rather than a re-amped guitar, substitutes a drum machine for real drums, and has "expensive mics instead of a computer."

Movie Review: Tower Heist
Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy star in this surprisingly comical buddy movie.
Director: Brett Ratner MPAA Rating: PG-13 Studio: Universal
Nowhere near as terrible as rumored to be, Tower Heist puts its strong cast and timely premise to work and delivers an enjoyable light hearted adventure flick enjoyable for any audience. Set in upscale New York, the smug and seemingly appropriate one percenter Alan Alda is put under house arrest in his Central Park West penthouse after being accused of syphoning his investors out of billions, and cheating his entire staff, out of their pensions.
Out for vengeance, Ben Stiller, the Robin Hood-style concierge of Alda's high-rise tower condo building, patches together a scraggly team of criminals, goofballs and the disenfranchised co-workers (Casey Affleck, Gabourey Sidebe, Michael Pena, Matthew Broderick, Eddie Murphy) to heist the stolen money out of the millionaires' seemingly invulnerable penthouse during the Thanksgiving Day parade.
The only thing that irked me about this film was that the heist itself is more of a tension free throw away as opposed to the centerpiece of the film as one would expect from any respectful caper flick. Ultimately, it really doesn't matter. In a Brett Ratner-directed movie that lurches from one joke to another, the only thing this film is desperate for is to make you want to smile and have a good time.
Photographed by the wonderful Dante Spinotti (L.A. Confidential), the movie offers Stiller in good form and it's a kick to see Murphy rouse himself out of his stupor and switch on that old mouthy, expletive-spewing Beverly Hills Cop magic. Other cast members like Alda and Tea Leoni beautifully liven up the one-liner filled screenplay which is credited to Ted Griffin and Jeff Nathanson. At 104 minutes Tower Heist offers laughs all right, but reminds the viewers that in an economy being held hostage by politicians on the take and being wrecked by Wall Street and banks alike, it's the criminals who are laughing loudest of all. The movie doesn't want to bite the hand that feeds, it just wants to make nice.

Border Patrol use of force policy scrutinized
PHOENIX - An investigation is looking into U.S. Border Patrol policies on use of lethal force is expected.
The order comes amid a spate of deadly shootings along the border in recent years. Earlier this month a teenager was killed while agents say he was throwing rocks at them from across a fence in Mexico.
Since 2010, at least 18 people have been killed by Border Patrol agents, eight in instances where federal authorities said they were being attacked by rock-throwers. That includes the 2010 incident involving Sergio Adrian Hernandez-Guereca.
Hernandez-Guereca was killed in June of 2010. Earlier this year an agent was dismissed of charges filed against them by Hernandez-Guereca's family.
Vicki Gaubeca, director of the ACLU's Regional Center for Border Rights, in Las Cruces, said deaths along the border are a common occurence.
A probe by the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General involves a review of accusations of brutality and excessive force as it works to determine whether reforms have been implemented.
The review, briefly referenced in a 100-page report released this month, was launched after 16 members of Congress expressed concern over the 2010 death of an unarmed Mexican migrant in San Diego. They asked the Department of Homeland Security to determine whether the incident is ''emblematic of a broader cultural problem'' within the agency.
''It is ongoing,'' Arlen Morales, a spokeswoman for the Inspector General's Office, said Thursday.
She declined to comment on details of the investigation or when it began, but noted it could take up to a year to complete.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection also would not comment, noting only that it fully cooperates with the Inspector General's Office, agency spokesman Michael Friel said.
The Border Patrol considers the use of deadly force against rock-throwers generally acceptable, noting the projectiles can be deadly, but critics of the practice claim it's an unfair fight.
''It just seems like it's over the top to use lethal force in response to rock throwers,'' Gaubeca said.
Kent Lundgren, a former agent and now chairman of the National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers, countered that rocks can indeed be deadly.
''A rock thrown real slow will kill you just as dead as a bullet,'' Lundgren said, recounting a time in the early 1970s when he was hit in the head while patrolling the border near El Paso, Texas.
"I don't think the policy should be to shoot anyone that picks up a rock," said Lundgren in an interview with ABC-7. "It is self-defense, though. David killed Goliath with a rock, people are still stoned to death in the world we live in today. Rocks are lethal instruments, let's not make any mistake about that."
Mexican officials, meanwhile, have repeatedly decried the use of lethal force in such cases but the denouncements have brought little change among increasing fatalities.
Multiple wrongful death lawsuits have been filed by Mexican families and in at least one case, a Border Patrol agent was charged with murder in Mexico. The agent has not been extradited.
In the most recent case last week, Mexican authorities say a 16-year-old boy was killed by an agent who shot through a border fence in Nogales, Ariz. The Border Patrol acknowledged the agent was responding to rock-throwing but has only said ''it appeared someone had been hit.'' Investigations are ongoing on both sides of the border.
A Mexican official with direct knowledge of the investigation told the AP the boy had been shot multiple times in the back. The person was not yet authorized to discuss details of the case and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Mexico's Foreign Relations Department issued a statement saying it ''forcefully condemned'' the shooting, calling such deaths ''a serious bilateral problem.''

Young Professional
Born: May 4, 1994, Sidcup
Position: Striker
Height: 5ft 11ins
Weight: 11st 8lb
By Lambros Lambrou
Regular Under-18 striker Zak Ansah has taken on a new role this season. "There were a few injuries early on in the season and some of the first years were not yet able to play and so I was asked by Steve Bould to drop into midfield and try and help us keep the ball as a holding midfielder," explains Zak.
"I have never played in that position before but I got used to it quite quickly and am enjoying myself because I am more involved in games."
The first years are now all in contention, but Steve has continued with Zak in the centre. Watching him, you would be forgiven for believing that he has always played in the position. In a tough game with Southampton just under a month ago, he controlled the pace and tempo of the game as much of the ball went through him, and he was more than a holding player.
"I am quite comfortable in the position now and I suppose that because I am a striker I am able to see and anticipate the runs the guys in front of me are making, or are about to make, and slipping balls through in between defenders comes quite naturally. So I am not just playing as a holding midfielder, but I support the attack too.
"Phil Roberts is doing so well up front and he is always a good target. I suppose what I need to develop is making runs into the opposition penalty area to try and score more goals from midfield."
The youngster may be playing in the middle, but during and after training, he still works as a striker on his finishing and heading. "In the long term, as I progress to the Reserves and I hope beyond, I want to play as a striker. Being in midfield is good for me and the team at the moment, but I still feel that I am a striker. But in the Under-18s it works all round for me to play in midfield."
Zak has already made a full debut with Neil Banfield's Reserves, but on the right side of the attack. "I think I did OK. It is a position that I can play and there's a pattern at Arsenal that strikers and attacking midfielders begin on the wings until they establish themselves when moving up into the Reserves and the first team. Reserve games are played at a quicker pace than Under-18s, but I think I did well and I'm looking forward to playing more often and making myself part of the FA Youth Cup team, whether in midfield or as a striker," says Zak.
"I think we have a good chance this season. Compared to the Under-18s last season, this year we seem to have settled and matured. We are even closer as a group and it is more about the team than players as individuals and I believe that togetherness shows on the pitch."
Zak signed professional terms last May and, as such, football is his vocation, but another form of football is his main source of relaxation too. "I play FIFA 12 quite a bit at home, a lot of the time online with Elton Monteiro and Nigel Neita. They are good, but I'm the best," he grins: "Jack Wilshere is on the cover of the case and unfortunately he's got a bit of time on his hands at the moment so I wouldn't mind challenging him to a game!"

Group hopes to change cooking guidelines for chili, soup competitions
A group of Crosslake business owners, chamber members and city council members is asking area legislators to draft legislation that would make it easier for groups to participate in Crosslake's WinterFest SoupFest and Crosslake Days chili cook-off competitions.
Crosslake chamber staff, along with 12 business owners, Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) staff, Crosslake Mayor Darrell Schneider, state Sen. Carrie Ruud and state Reps. John Ward and Joe Radinovich met Friday, March 1.
Stricter enforcement of cooking guidelines recently caused a drop in participants at Crosslake's annual SoupFest and chili cookoff events.
Enforcement meant that all soup and chili needed to be made and cooked on-site, and could only be made ahead of time in a commercial kitchen.
Notes from chamber staff from the meeting show that while MDH rules were enacted, Crosslake was running under the radar. MDH is concerned that the quantity of food cooked for an event is difficult to cool properly if it's prepared in advance. The use of home kitchens not inspected by the MDH is also a concern.
The group asked that legislators draft legislation that allows community based non-profit organizations to prepare chili or soup for sampling by the general public at no charge as part of a community festival in home kitchens up to three days ahead of time, as long as certain measures are met.
The first measure is that the individual responsible for food preparation completes a food safety course specifically designed for the preparation of the food items. The other stipulation would be that a disclaimer is prominently displayed at the serving place and in all print advertising saying that the food was prepared based on recommended food safety standards, but consumers assume liability for any food-borne illness that is a result of the tasting.
In an email, Cindy Myogeto, Crosslake chamber director, said the legislators plan to review the recommendations and send them to the revisor's office for review and development. She said that MDH regulations are taking the integrity and novelty out of Crosslake's annual activities.

In the True Spirit of Rush six U-19 Colorado Rush girls (Morgan Stanton, Gabi Miranda, Lizzie Raben, Danica Evans, Sydney Otto and Tommie Goodman) traveled to New Mexico this weekend to join in with the U-19 girls from New Mexico Rush (Victoria Barba, Jovana Canales, Brooke Eastburge, Ruth Bruciaga, Ellae Montoya, Adrianna Naranjo, and Breanna Atencio) to play in State Cup. Several of these girls from both states have played with each other in the past either in Rush Select at U13 winning "Champions Cup" in Florida or playing with the Colorado Rush ECNL team. Coach Pancho Macias from New Mexico was very proud of their accomplishments stating "I have been very fortunate to coach some of these players since they were 13. We as a club joined Rush 10 years ago and are happy to be able to win this State Championship with the support of Colorado Rush and Erik Bushey."
Only being able train for about an hour and a half the day before the game, on Sunday the girls took the pitch and arose to the occasion. The combined team of New Mexico Rush and Colorado Rush players won 2-0 and have advanced to Regionals June 16-22 in Albuquerque, NM. Rush President Tim Schultz quoted after hearing about the win "I am elated when I see the Rush join forces with other states to create these select teams. Some of these players have known each other for several years." It was smiles all around for the girls! Please join us in congratulating them all on a job well done and for showing the true spirit of Rush.

Hello everyone.
It's ironic that I planted a bunch of flowers in my backyard this year for my honeybees and honeybees passing through, but they don't care for what I have, at least at this point.
However, there are about 4 or 5 other types of bees which crowd my flowers.
I am curious as to their identity.
By the way, I don't have a photo yet because they weren't out when I took these pictures, but I always see a narrow bright green bee in my Mexican Petunias.
Here are the others I took photos of today:

Roll me to class, please
Yesterday was Taste of RIT, which is sponsered by United Way. (They raise money for sick people, organ transplants and such) Approximately 30 Rochester-area resturants brought their specialties to RIT for everyone to sample. For $6, I literally ate until I could eat no more. There was lobster ravoli, salmon, crab cakes, pulled pork, gormet hot dogs, cheesecake, pies, ice cream, soup, pancakes, tilapia, tacos....etc. After about 45 minutes, I felt like one of those Weeble-Wobbles you played with as a kid...they're so round they don't fall down. I rolled myself to class and to the gym afterwards, and then...
I went to the Biological Research Sciences building dedication, where I proceed to consume more free food. Seriously, sometimes I think the main reason our gym is so nice is to compensate for the fact that we not only have a Ben and Jerry's on campus, but we have soooo much free food, all the time. Not that I'm complaining, I just wish I could hire somebody to roll me to class.
Comments (2)
Adam RichlinWhere/ What is the Biological Research Sciences Building? I have not heard of this and am interested. Do you mean the CBET building? (I guess re: to my blog if you can)
Joe ConleyYeah, I believe she means the Center for Biosciences Education and Technology. I swear I'll remember that name when I'm giving tours one of these days...

Anarchists and suspected mafia target Italian media
The last several months in Italy have seen a few disquieting attacks against independent media and an investigative reporter. In one case, the widely distributed independent newspaper La Stampa received an explosive device in the mail. The Federazione Anarchica Informale/Fronte Rivoluzionario, an anarchist organization, claimed responsibility and ominously noted that La Stampa was just one of many newspapers that could be a target of the group's war against the state. CPJ research shows that the state of press freedom in Italy is among the most volatile in Western Europe, with violence and legal action sometimes perpetrated by criminal groups or political actors.

"We looked at a few different IT support companies but the main reason we hired 25sevenIT was that they seemed like they really wanted to work with us and it wasn't all about the money....After talking with us about our future plans and business goals and discussing the various options available to us, 25sevenIT recommended a full deployment to Microsoft Office365. At first we were a bit concerned about the move as 'The Cloud' is a new area for us but we needn't have worried.
James Hey

We just get on with making sales while 25sevenIT look after our network in the background.
Sarah Macoun

Local Boy Scout leaders to vote 'no' on gay members
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - Local Boy Scout leaders have made a decision concerning the proposed national membership policy change.
The Boy Scouts of America has proposed a new national policy on lifting the ban on gay members. The local Sequoyah Council in Johnson City has decided to vote "no" on the proposal when they have the national meeting in Texas on May 23.
David Page, CEO of the Sequoyah Council, explained the decision to us Tuesday. "Going back to the hundred years of scouting that's been the traditional values and what they are. Our constituents in this part of the country want to maintain our core values and principles, and when it comes to the Scout Oath and law, and in regards to the scouting membership standards," he said.
Page says if the Executive Committee of the National Boy Scouts votes to go with the new resolution, they will have no choice but to abide.
Here is the full text of the proposed membership changes:
"The Executive Committee of the National Boy Scouts has proposed a new resolution which reads:
Youth membership in the Boy Scouts of America is open to all youth who meet the specific membership requirements to join the Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Varsity Scout, Sea Scout, and Venturing programs.
Membership in any program of the Boy Scouts of America requires the youth member to (a) subscribe to and abide by the values expressed in the Scout Oath and Scout Law, (b) subscribe to and abide by the precepts of the Declaration of Religious Principle (duty to God), and (c) demonstrate behavior that exemplifies the highest level of good conduct and respect for others and is consistent at all times with the values expressed in the Scout Oath and Scout Law.
No youth may be denied membership in the Boy Scouts of America on the basis of sexual orientation or preference alone."

The New Orleans meeting is expected to include Mickey Loomis, the Pelicans' head of basketball operations and the NFL Saints' executive vice president and general manager, as well as Pelicans GM Dell Demps and coach Monty Williams. The Pelicans are expected to offer a contract paying close to $3 million in the first season. At least three other teams are expected to offer similar money, a league source said.
You have to either lose a legit rotation player or gut the end of the bench to make this happen.
Pierre Jackson is the only player I'd give up on our current squad for Oden.
teams cannot trade players under the following circumstances:
...For three months or until December 15 of that season (whichever is later) after signing a contract as a free agent or matching an offer sheet to a restricted free agent. This obviously does not apply to the trade completing a sign-and-trade transaction
quote:Good he should be well rested.
As a Pelican fan, Im not sure how the words "quality offer for Greg Oden" can excite you
Theres a reason this dude hasnt played professional basketball in 3 years

I live in California's Central Valley and am looking to place swarm bait boxes around as I've gotten into beekeeping too late this year and spent my money building hives.
My question is: If I see a good tree location for a bait box at the side of the road(on the road side of any fencing), do I need to find an owner of the land behind the fence to ask if I can place a bait box up in the tree? I just don't want to do this wrong and get turned in or turned on by local ranchers. Also, can I place these on public lands?
It seems whenever I see bait trap videos, they are out in the middle of nowhere's forest. I just don't have those types of areas around here.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Chris.

Luna visits Sugar-Salem HS for progress report on technology grant
SUGAR CITY, Idaho - State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Luna was in Eastern Idaho Thursday morning. It was a progress report on the Idaho Technology Pilot Program.
Sugar-Salem is one of 11 schools with a grant that puts an electronic device in the hands of every student. The school was awarded a grant that gives every one of its students a laptop.
"I think the students have been excited about it. When we first handed out the laptops they were excited and I would say giddy about it," said Jared Jenks, principal at Sugar-Salem High School.
"Being able to type things up is a lot nicer, and typing our notes make us able to get better, more detailed notes," said Mason, a senior at Sugar-Salem.
The school modeled its grant application after Luna's Proposition 3, which focused on technology in the classroom.
Even the cost is the same at about $180 per student per year.
"When we negotiated that statewide contract those numbers are pretty close aren't they," said Luna.
Like any trial program, there are growing pains. Bandwidth is one. A couple of months into the school year, half the students still cannot hook up to printers.
For Jenks, the biggest problem is they can't take care of the problems themselves. Part of the grant was working with an outside company for tech support.
"I think what we are learning is there needs to be that flexibility because other districts would tell you the managed service works for them because maybe that don't have the IT staff and capability to support the system themselves," said Luna.
Some of the problems aren't even technological. The grant process happened quickly, without parent input.
"We assumed everyone would feel equally positive and not everyone did. So we had to apologize and go out and get input. We started a parent technology committee to help us make decisions," said Alan Dunn, Sugar-Salem School District superintendent.
One of the biggest concerns is filtering. Internet access is limited in school. In the next couple of weeks, filters will be installed on each laptop that parents can adjust at home.
Jenks believes it's an opportunity to do more than limit.
"We have responsibility as a school to teach the students digital citizenship. We are working in collaboration with the parents to teach our students appropriate use and appropriate behaviors in the use of technology on a daily basis," he said.
That's a responsibility Jenks wants to make permanent. He said Sugar-Salem was "all in" on the one-device to one-student program. The school even eliminated all computer labs.
"Our concern right now is if the state legislature does not fund one to one devices in the future, what will we do as a high school when these devices age and become obsolete," said Jenks.
He said he doesn't want to cross that bridge yet.
Sugar-Salem is still working parent questions and concerns. The parent committee will hold another open meeting in November.
Luna later visited Beutler Middle School in Dayton, which is another one of schools in the pilot program. He said it is still his goal to give every student in Idaho equal access and opportunity.

ODOT: April is 'Distracted Driving Awareness Month'
SALEM, Ore. - Getting distracted while you're driving can be catastrophic: from 2009 – 2011, in Oregon, 41 people died in distracted driving crashes. Even if you were buckled up properly, obeying the speed limit and driving sober, a split-second distraction could cost a life.
"Distracted driving is a behavior that's dangerous to drivers, passengers, and even people walking or biking," said Troy E. Costales, Oregon Department of Transportation Safety Division administrator, who noted that in addition to the distracted driving deaths, from 2009 – 2011, there were five pedestrians or bicyclists who were killed in crashes while they were distracted.
"When drivers divert their attention from the task of driving to focus on some other activity, they've just increased their chances of getting in a crash. And the same is true for bicyclists and pedestrians who are distracted. It's worth our time to pay attention when we're out using the transportation system."
Across the U.S., one of every ten fatalities on the nation's roadways can be attributed to a distracted driver.
While most any activity can distract a driver, one of the more common behaviors is using a cell phone. It's illegal to use a handheld mobile communications device while driving in Oregon, for almost everyone, but people still do, and it's dangerous. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, sending or receiving a text takes a driver's eyes from the road for an average of 4.6 seconds. Traveling 55 mph, 4.6 seconds of texting is like driving the length of a football field full of people while blindfolded.
A dangerous distraction, though, can occur any time a driver voluntarily diverts attention to something not related to driving that requires the use of the driver's eyes, ears or hands.
For bicyclists, it means not watching or listening for potential interference from vehicles, trains or other traffic.
For pedestrians, having earphones in or being distracted by texting can result in dangerous behavior, such as crossing a busy street at a location other than a crosswalk. All of these situations have one thing in common: not paying attention to the task at hand.
Driver distraction can be especially deadly. According to the Governor's Highway Safety Association, there are four types of driver distraction:
• Visual: looking at something other than the road
• Auditory: hearing something not related to driving
• Manual: moving your hands from the wheel
• Cognitive: thinking about something other than the complex driving task at hand
Examples of distracted driving include using a cell phone, eating, grooming, or reading. Before engaging in a distracting behavior – whether you are behind the wheel, on a bike or walking in a high traffic area – consider the potential consequences, and then get to a safe place before you take any action that takes you away from being focused.
Here are a few other tips to avoid distracted driving, from the AAA Foundation and ODOT:
1. Plan ahead. Check TripCheck.com or call 511 before you head out. Look at your route and plan your options for stopping.
2. Stow electronic devices. You can retrieve them when you pull over.
3. Buckle up. Make sure your passengers and pets are properly secured.
4. Eat and be hydrated. Get a meal in before you get behind the wheel so you won't be tempted to root around for food or drink while driving.
5. Stow loose objects. The fewer things that can roll around and distract you, the better.
6. Bicyclists and pedestrians: keep an eye and an ear out for traffic.
Most importantly, "get your brain in the game." Scan the road, use your mirrors often and stay alert. To learn more about the impacts of distracted driving and what you can do to prevent it, visit www.distraction.gov.

Men – casual:
liberty.co.uk, £280
The Skipsea coat is a good investment: Barbour has a welldeserved reputation for its outerwear but this style is more fashion-led than its famed wax jackets.
gap.co.uk, £79.95
A bomber jacket may be, for some, an unwelcome reminder of bad Eighties fashion, but they've enjoyed a revival in recent times and with rather more finesse.
0118 960 6300, £35
Menswear hasn't quite enjoyed the same success as womenswear at this retailer. But a perusal of the gents' section can result in great finds, such as this khaki cagoule.
levi.com, £165
Levi's expertise might be in jeans but, as this style proves, its coats are worth an inspection, too. This windbreaker is a great everyday option. The fabric mix of cord and canvas makes for a classic design.
TU at Sainsbury's
0800 636 262, £30
Camouflage may indeed be the traditional garb of the armed forces, but it is also a big trend for the new season. Team this jacket with jeans or chinos and march into winter in style.
Men – smart:
thecorner.com, £800
This style comes from the autumn/winter collection by the designer label. The oversized cut is a big trend for the season and a practical choice for evening wear.
Oliver Spencer
liberty.co.uk, £435
Double-breasted coats are always a smart choice when it comes to more formal occasions, and you can be safe in the knowledge this one will remain stylish for many years to come.
Shore Leave
urbanoutfitters.co.uk, £110
There is no easier way to ruin a dapper outfit then with a casual coat slung over the top. But never fear, this style from Shore Leave is a value-for-money option for outerwear.
020 7647 4200, £165
Longer-length styles like this belted coat work well on those blessed with longer limbs. This sleek design also delivers a rather unusual and very dark shade of khaki.
topman.com, £90
This belted trench coat is an ideal purchase for winter, as it comes in a thick wool mix rather than the lightweight fabric from which the garment is traditionally constructed.
Men – bright:
French Connection
frenchconnection.com, £150
If bright and bold is your style motto then this quilted jacket could be for you. It comes in a canary-yellow shade but the lively colour is balanced by its classic cut: a fashion forward Barbour-esque design.
Marks & Spencer
marksandspencer.com, £69
Avid hikers looking for a practical purchase that will prove useful on winter walks should look to this. Part of the M&S Stormwear line, it uses technology that makes it both water-resistant and stain proof.
New Look
newlook.com, £49.99
If you like whooshing down snow-covered mountains, take inspiration from winter sportswear for a straight-from-the-slopes type vibe. This hooded style has a definite ski-wear feel to it.
River Island
riverisland.com, £85
You can't get more traditional than a duffle coat. This particular version comes in a tomato shade of red that brings an element of modernity to an otherwise inherently classic design.
Saint Laurent
brownsfashion.com, £845
This check jacket comes from Hedi Slimane's autumn/winter collection. On the runway, it was shown with ribbed pants and an oversized jumper. Or you could just team it with jeans and a T-shirt. Your call.
Men – retro:
H.E. by Mango
mango.com, £129.99
The trench dates back to the early 20th century, when it was worn by British Army officers. A hundred years on and it is still a wardrobe staple with serious style credentials.
Kent and Curwen
kentandcurwen.co.uk, £571
This label began in the 1920s, creating college ties, before moving to sportswear for cricket and polo teams. These days, it creates ready-to-wear collections with a retro twist.
Lacoste Live
lacoste.com, £125
The flight jacket is a modern classic, thanks largely to Burberry Prorsum – deemed responsible for the garment's revival following a rather aviation-inspired collection.
020 7493 467, £1,032
Testament to the success of Macintosh is our use of the brand name as a generic description for a raincoat. This is the label's interpretation of the equally classic duffle coat.
debenhams.com, £110
Accounts as to the origin of the pea coat vary; one of the most famous uses, however, was by the US Navy in the 1970s. This version is a more modern and stylish interpretation.
Men – sporty:
liberty.co.uk, £280
A cagoule like this one is a great purchase for more active occasions. The design, with its poncho cut, is lightweight and roomy, allowing the wearer plenty of movement.
G-Star Raw
g-star.com, £300
Padded coats may not be considered super stylish, but certainly come into their own when the mercury drops. This mid-length version is more flattering than shorter designs
next.co.uk, £45
The traditional American-style sports jacket is the latest retro design to enjoy a resurgence. This high street take on the trend features faux leather sleeves.
Original Penguin
originalpenguin.co.uk, £130
This golden yellow style is known as a "mountain coat". With its heavy-duty, cottonblend fabric and hood, it's a fine option in which to enjoy the great outdoors.
joules.com, £120
Country-inspired styling has had a popular influence in recent years, not least with coats. This one has function and fashion covered and is surprisingly lightweight, too.
Women – casual:
harrods.com, £710
Carven is a French label swiftly becoming a real go-to for contemporary pieces with a Parisian twist. This one is a variation on the classic tweed blazer with modern updates such as contrast detailing.
Sparkle & Fade
urbanoutfitters.co.uk, £125
Candyfloss pink may not seem like the most appropriate of colours for the winter but, with an array of designers showing pale pink outerwear on the runway, it's set to be a big trend for the season.
oasis-stores.com, £72
If you fell in love with stripes last season and are still feeling reluctant to let them go, then this style is a great buy. Horizontal stripes can be tricky, but this cut will nip you in where you need it.
Marc by Marc Jacobs
harrods.com, £575
A double-breasted wool jacket is hardly ground-breaking in the fashion stakes, but this style from the secondary label by American designer Marc Jacobs is a veritable colour blocking masterpiece.
warehouse.co.uk, £75
As a cold weather cover-up, the cape certainly has its advantages: increased mobility and the ability to layer clothing underneath are a definite boon. There's also the chic factor to consider.
Women – smart:
Great Plains
greatplains.co.uk, £120
Tweed continues its march in the trend stakes due to ongoing innovations in the fabric. This three-quarter-length coat from Great Plains is a great buy that won't date.
cavan.com, £560
White isn't the most practical colour in which to invest, so styles such as this are better for evening rather than daily use. If you can keep it pristine, it makes for a spectacular look.
Paper London
paperlondon.com, £545
Team it with a full-length gown and this mint-green coloured coat is a fun option for an evening out, and the pastel hue will keep you bang on trend into the bargain.
Unreal Fur
cavan.com, £195
Humans have been wearing fur since the stone ages, but modern-day technology means you can get all the benefits of this material without any associated cruelty.
peridotlondon.co.uk, £580
Investing in a sleek and sophisticated design such as this one is definitely worthwhile. Black is a timeless colour and the classic cut means you'll enjoy it for years.
Women – bright:
asos.com, £85
If you're tired of fading into the crowd in neutral colours then it's time to be brave and don a brighter hue. And they don't come much brighter than this classic design.
Cedric Charlier
thecorner.com, £915
Androgynous styling is a big look for the season and the best way to tap into the trend is with oversized outerwear. The aim is to look as if you've borrowed from the boyfriend.
Boutique by Jaeger
jaeger.co.uk, £199
If you thought bright pink was a colour that could only be worn by girls under the age of 10 then think again. A touch of fluorescent can add an element of edge at any age.
Mademoiselle Tara
020 3445 0409, £205
This jacket from Tara Jarmon's Mademoiselle line is a peachy take on a pastel-pink hue. The bomber-jacket style of its design keeps it from looking too sickly-sweet as well.
0844 557 5200, £295
Bright colours are a quick and easy way to give an otherwise dull outfit some much-needed va va voom. This coat is a ladylike design that comes in a bright terracotta orange.
Women – retro:
awear.com, £85
This coat has an oversized faux-fur collar which gives it a definite Seventies feel. It's ideal for adding a touch of vintage to your wardrobe. Just don't overdo things by adding a pair of flared trousers.
Star by Julien Macdonald
debenhams.co.uk, £95
Designer togs don't have to cost a fortune, especially when you can snap them up on the high street. This black-and-white-checked number makes the most of monochrome.
reiss.com, £350
Camel coats can be ten a penny in the winter but this particular style is a stand-out piece with real wow factor. It is made from a luxurious wool blend and is impeccably tailored for a fantastic fit.
supertrash.com, £160
Transport yourself to the swinging Sixties with this eggshell-blue design. With a trademark short collar, decorative buttons and an A-line shape, it's flattering as well as being fashionable.

MANUFACTURER: Slide-Fire
Review This Item
The SLIDE-FIRE AR-15 Rifle Stock, OGR, Left Hand (SSAR-15-OGR-LH) is designed for use on all AR-15 rifles equipped with a carbine style buffer tube. There are no permanent modifications necessary to install the SSAR-15.
Simply remove the factory pistol grip and replace it with the provided Interface Block. The SSAR-15 replaces the factory adjustable stock by simply sliding onto the buffer tube. All tools required to install the SSAR-15 are provided.
Slide Fire Solutions' ground breaking "Slide Stock" technology and ergonomic design provide the ability to Slide Fire safely, offering a new element of entertainment for recreational shooters everywhere!
Unlike traditional bump firing, the SSAR-15 allows the shooter to properly hold their firearm and maintain complete control at all times. In addition, as a result of the forward movement required to discharge each round, the shooter naturally corrects their point-of-aim for each shot and prevents recoil from pushing the firearm's muzzle upward in an unsafe direction.
In principal the SSAR-15 functions similar to the Gatlin system. When operating a Gatlin system; the shooter operates a crank in a circular motion to activate the firing mechanism. Every 1/5 rotation of the crank will discharge a round. As with the Gatlin system, an AR-15 equipped with the SSAR-15 will never fire automatically.

"Egypt is free! Egypt is free!" shouted the jubilant protesters gathered in Midan Tahrir, or Liberation Square, in Cairo. The country's President, Hosni Mubarak, had finally resigned on Friday. It took 18 days of angry protests against his government in cities across Egypt to force Mubarak's resignation. Mubarak left Cairo for Sharm El Sheikh, the Egyptian resort town in the southern Sinai where he spends much of the year.
The night before he resigned, Mubarak appeared on Egyptian TV. Once again, he told Egyptians that he would continue as President until September. He said his Vice President, Omar Suleiman, would guide the transition to a new government. Mubarak's unwillingness to leave office had sent shock waves across Egypt.
But on Friday, Suleiman announced that Mubarak had handed power over to the Egyptian military. "President Hosni Mubarak has decided to step down from the office of President of the republic and has charged the high council of the armed forces to administer the affairs of the country," he said.
What's Next for Egypt?
Mubarak ruled Egypt for almost 30 years. Many Egyptians were fed up with his government. The protesters in Liberation Square said the government was corrupt. They complained that unemployment is higher than ever and prices for food, fuel and other goods had skyrocketed.
Now that the military is in charge, many questions remain. Among them: When will reform begin? When will free elections take place? Egypt's Armed Forces Supreme Council, a group of top generals, has promised to guide the country to greater democracy. In a statement before Suleiman's announcement, it said, the military would work for "a peaceful transition" to a democratic government.

Thread: Hassan guilty on all charges

Before you can do things for people, you must be the kind of man who can get things done. But to get things done, you must love the doing, not the people!
I would want him executed, by any means at all, if I were a family member of the soldiers who were killed or wounded.
Personally, I'll settle for this "workplace violence" to be called what it really was.
An act of terrorism!!! Then get on with what to do with him.
STILL DEPLORABLE no matter what faux speed bumps ...

Hasan made his way to the pearly gates. There, he is greeted by George Washington.
"How dare you attack the nation I helped conceive!" yells Mr. Washington, slapping Hasan in the face. Patrick Henry comes up from behind: "You wanted to end the Americans' liberty, so they gave you death!" Henry punches Hasan on the nose. James Madison comes up next, and says, "This is why I allowed the Federal government to provide for the common defense!" He drops a large weight on Hasan's knee.
Hasan is subject to similar beatings from John Randolph of Roanoke, James Monroe and 65 other 18th-century American revolutionaries. As he writhes on the ground, Thomas Jefferson picks him up to hurl him back toward the gate where he is to be judged.
As Hasan sees the entire Cartwright clan approaching, he screams, "This is not what I was promised!"
An angel replies: "I told you there would be 72 Virginians waiting for you. What did you think I said?"
It's not how old you are, it's how you got here.
It's been a long road and not all of it was paved.
A man is but a product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes. Gandhi
So, victims and others are demanding, why is the November 2009 attack at Fort Hood being tried as a case of workplace violence and not as an act of terrorism?
Military law expert Scott L. Silliman says the answer is simple. Because the Uniform Code of Military Justice does not have a punitive article for "terrorism."
"They really didn't have an option," says Silliman, director emeritus of Duke University's Center on Law, Ethics and National Security in Durham, N.C. "He was an active-duty officer. The crime occurred on a military installation. ... It was obvious he was going to face a court-martial."

I'm actually conflicted about this. The death penalty is what this traitor wants so he can become a martyr for Islam. I'm almost hoping that they give him life with no possibility of parole.....let him sit in his wheelchair in a 6' x 8' windowless cell for the rest of his worthless life and not give him the satisfaction of becoming a martyr.Solve a man's problem with violence and help him for a day. Teach a man how to solve his problems with violence, help him for a lifetime - Belkar Bitterleaf
Liberalism is what the stupid think is smart.

He wasnt convicted as a jihadist..all he is is a common criminal, a murderer.
Pity about the lethal injection, I'd prefer to see him hang.

The halftime break is to be extended from 10 to 12 minutes in this year's Super Rugby competition.
Sanzar, Super Rugby's organising body, announced the extension today. It brings Super Rugby into line with internationals, which already have a 12-minute halftime.
The longer break has commercial advantages for television.
Sanzar also today confirmed the venues and times for all matches in 2013. In one change, the third-round match between the Blues and Crusaders at Eden Park on March 1 will kick-off at 7.30pm.

Well done RFJjunior
Quiet on here today, everyone must be outside enjoying the sunshine.
Lyrics: a bad run of form continues.
Nice 18 slotted in there, Dustin.
Well done Jnr RFJ, I notice that Dad omitted to mention how much he enjoyed getting thrashed.
Bike ride: "How far are we going?" "When you get back you can look at the computer!" That turned out to me a 63 mile mauling, hanging on to the tail of Group One. We headed NE, into the breeze, with two strong guys putting the muscle down. Eventually, on the SW leg, with the wind behind us, the effort level remained constant, but the pace increased. All well and good, but by that stage any slight gradient and I was off the back. Home for 1pm.
Out again shortly after 2pm, with Cross Country starting at 3pm. Four laps of a very muddy field. With low expectations, I set off from near the back, but felt OK and moved up through the field on lap 1. Got a stitch, and started to lose a place or two. Then my descent through the pack accelerated, as the mud sapped all my energy. After 3 laps I stopped. I had had enough. Oddly, after a minute or two I decided that I would indeed finish the race. Sure I got beaten by some very senior vets "I'm only 69, youth". This was on the run in to the line as well.
5 soggy, boggy miles. I think that I was doing 7:30m/m on lap 1, and 11m/m on laps 3 & 4.
I should sleep well.
That's a great days training Blisters - hope you're refuelling suitably.
Dedicated dad Dustin - glad you could make the most of the time too.
I love my new hybrid bike. So much more comfortable than the mtb ever was. Big thanks to Andy at my LBS who sent ages measuring angles and distances on my road bike in order to set it up as closely as possible. Went out with mark and we did just short of two hours round trails, cycle paths and roads in the bright sunshine. Hope it stays like that for my run tomorrow but I fear the wind is forecast to return.
