Actually it would depend on state law. Some states allow the killing of a felon if he can be deemed "a continuing threat to the community". A rapist will probably rape again, so killing him would be justified even if he were climbing out your window.

One key thing is that she make sure and have a rape kit done at the hospital immediatley so there is medical documentation to support her claim of rape. That would be crucial. Failure to do so could hang her.
"can I pull my gun out of the dresser and shoot him in the back, even though technically the threat appears to be over?"
I would think that any female that had just been raped would want to see that unique expression of incredulous, powerless, disbelief on the rapists face...that strange otherworldly look which spontaniously appears on a human face the moment she explodes his heart by emptying her handgun into his chest.
Only the criminal knows when the the end of the crime is coming, never the victum.
As long as the rapist is in the house, the crime is still taking place. I believe it is OK for some states to still shoot a fleeing felon too...

For all we know, he could have done the deed, got up, said, "Let me go get <insert choice of weapon here>", then turned to pull up his pants and locate said weapon. I would think there'd be no question that there was still a threat, in that case - shot in the back or not. Of course, if the rape victim kills him, there's no one to refute that story.
I can see it being a question if he's obviously heading for his car or something (rapes her in the back of the house, then gets dressed and leaves the building) - then she's shooting him in an effort to prevent his escape. Might be more of a legal problem in some states. I still think they'd be hard-pressed to find a jury that would convict her, though.
Shooting in the back---NO DON'T DO THAT----After you have your gun out, say something along the lines of "hey dick head, you forgot----BANG BANG as he turns around.
An ounce of lead is worth 200lbs of cop.
How many rapist kill their vicitims afterwards ? Lots ! ! ! ! The threat is not necessarily over at that point at all.
But, if they are shot in the back as they are leaving..... she has a definite legal problem.
If it does become something complicated, as with many rapes, the obvious issue is proving that it was a rape.
That being said, you also have issues that differ state by state. For example, is there a requirement to retreat? Was she in fear for her life? What was her state of mind before and after the assault? Was she drunk or using drugs (maybe even prescription)? Every issue has a way of being a potential benefit or liability.
The complicating factor is the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. She will need to make statements to alleged rape so evidence is collected, while at the same time she should consider pleading the 5th herself.
This is the case with almost every SD shooting, but is complicated. The normal response should be, "I was in fear for my life, I want to speak to my attorney."
However now, she would have to state something like, "I was in fear for my life, I was raped, I want to speak to my attorney."
If she can't prove the rape, she might undermine the justification. Then even if she can prove the rape, post-rape is most likely not a justification for SD. It will all come down to various angles on beyond a reasonable doubt on some facts, preponderance of the evidence on others, and even negligence.
This reminds me of a case I read a while back (or was it just a hypothetical?). A woman asked her rapist to wear a condom was told that her act made the rape consensual. In no way the same as the OP, but it demonstrates the complicated issues.

Closed Minds Close Hearts
What if the only thing you ever wanted didn't want you back?
What if the destination you've been searching for isn't even on the map?
And what if we're so caught up all that we think we need,
That we put our hearts in shackles and can never be freed?
How many promising lives are wasted battling futile wars,
How people exhaust themselves beating down the wrong door,
And how many seeds must one sow before they understand
That for ages they've been planting on a dry, barren land?
Closed minds close hearts and closed eyelids close doors.
Is it possible you're blind to all that could be yours?

Mark Redding
Mark Redding is the Guardian's sports news editor
Three games, three points, two pallid displays and then one of their best performances of the season. Sir Alex Ferguson must be wondering what on earth the new year has in store for him.
West Brom 1 - 0 Fulham
An extremely dubious penalty, won and scored by Ruud van Nistelrooy, left Ipswich dangling from the Premiership by the slenderest of threads.
Ipswich Town improved their survival chances by holding Chelsea at bay but it could have been better, Marcus Bent missing a penalty that would have given them a vital victory.
Middlesbrough 2 - 0 Manchester United
Robbie Fowler supplied the Christmas punch that brought Leeds United some welcome festive cheer with a hat-trick in only his sixth game for the club.
Sir Alex Ferguson stared glumly at the camera and said precisely what the 67,000 people inside the ground had been thinking: "I don't think we'll win the Premiership now."
With one mighty bound Everton broke free of the shackles of relegation but Bradford City must now contemplate life in the First Division after only two seasons in the top flight.
They were 2-1 on to be relegated at the start of the season, but this victory against Coventry has effectively qualified Ipswich for the Uefa Cup at the very least.
In the end it was handed to Manchester United on a plate, their seventh title since the Premiership began in 1992, their third in a row, their 14th in total. Sir Alex Ferguson's side are as dominant now as Liverpool in the 70s and 80s and who is to say that they will not match the Anfield all-comers' record of 18 league championships?
Hard to believe, but last season Blackburn Rovers finished below Queens Park Rangers in the league, one place behind the London side who were in 10th. This time round Rovers will indubitably finish the higher but what is increasingly likely is that they will take the second automatic promotion slot behind Fulham as well.
Despite scoring a timely hat-trick to erase memories of Arsenal's drubbing at Old Trafford last week, Sylvain Wiltord is still not guaranteed a place for the match against Spartak Moscow tomorrow night.
Mark Burchill might have been playing for Birmingham City in the Worthington Cup final this weekend; he could have been watching from the bench as Celtic took on Hibernian; instead he finds himself with the fifth-placed club in the Premiership and chasing a place in Europe. How strangely fortunes change in football.
Luis Boa Morte is not accustomed to making headlines. He spent two years at Arsenal warming the bench, a spell at Southampton occupying another and when he arrived at Fulham it seemed merely a stopping-off station on a slow train down the Nationwide. Now he is a hot property.
Wycombe Wanderers are known as the Chairboys after the furniture-making industry in Buckinghamshire but they are going to have to change their nickname if they carry on like this. The Electric Chairboys might be more appropriate after they shocked Wolverhampton Wanderers with a late goal and sent them back to the black country looking completely frazzled, their season as good as over.
Bradfprd 1 - 4 Sunderland
Derby County's football may be lacking precision at the moment but there is nothing wrong with their timing. Their passing was wayward, their defence uncertain, but they still managed to gain three precious points and move out of the relegation zone on an afternoon when defeats for Southampton and Charlton threw the bottom of the Premiership wide open.
Bradford 3 -3 Tottenham
Bradford 2 - 1 Coventry
Beagrie rewards Big Jim's desire.
Jean Tigana, as both player and manager, could have taught John Coltrane a thing or two about improvisation. But even he surpassed himself when the Fulham bus got becalmed in traffic and he ordered his players to do their pre-match warm-up by jogging two miles to the stadium.
"Twenty-four hours later, as [I was] enjoying a quiet cup of tea, the office door burst open and Steve booted the ball into the room, sending it ricocheting off the wall so violently that it smashed the fluorescent light. 'There's your effing ball,' he said and marched off."
This could be Liverpool's year of living dangerously. They seem to be approaching their football this season as a game of two halves, except that one half is their attack, the other their defence.
Barnet 1 - 2 Peterborough
Charlton 1 - 3 Ipswich

In the last 90 days, 0 listings have been posted online, which means new listings are probably going fast. You'll want to be prepared to make an offer immediately. About NaN% of the listings in the Shipyard Associates are subleases, so you will probably need to consider the implications of signing a direct lease with the building. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet available, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
The standard measurement for office space in this area is around sqft. Most properties in this area are close to 1 stories.
Public administration is the dominant industry in this area. Most of the folk of Shipyard Associates work from home. Commuting more than an hour and a half a day is the norm for those who opt to reside in this part of town.

Home › Forums › Off Piste › Packrafting › Waterproofing cameras for potential swims
May 19, 2011 at 12:29 pm #1274092
ERIC PAYNESpectator
@vaporjourneyLocale: Greater Gila
Title says it all. What are people's systems here for keeping cameras accessible, yet waterproofed against potential swims? I just got back from a week on the San Juan River (class I/II), and just stored my LX5 in an Aloksak in a PFD pocket. When it was time to run the lone class III rapid, I put that inside of the large dry bag inside of my pack. This would be a PITA on trips with more Class III, so I'd like another solution. Double bagging? Micro Pelican case inside of a larger aloksak??May 25, 2011 at 7:41 am #1740865
Chris SBPL Member
@chrisvonsLocale: UK mostly
After fiddling about with Micro Peli boxes to house TZ Lumixes over the years, and still worrying about splashing, in the end I decided a waterproof camera was the way to go. You can just hang it round the neck, forget about the water and concentrate on the pix. I got a Lumix FT2 and a mate's used the similar but more bulky Canon D10 for over a year. Having said that, I was never convinced the Peli would have stood a long submersion, but it would be easy to improve the seal. And it's a lot more accessible than an Aquapac (like an Aloksak AFAICT) which I feel you seal once for a trip, rather than expect to open regularly on the water.
I also have an LX5 which is a much better camera than the above two. I'd use that on a trip where getting really good shots was part of the goal. Unfortunately I've made my LX5 less compact by adding the screw-on protective lens housing tube (more against dust drawn in by zooming than water). On the water I'd settle for the inconvenience of an inexpensive sealed, clip-top lunchbox (tupperware) and hope for the best, while relying on the FT2 in splashier conditions.
In my opinion, above all a camera must be accessible, but paddling a deckless packraft or a solo kayak on a fast river has certain limitations.

@davidinkenaiLocale: North Woods. Far North.
I used to kill a lot of cell phones while on the salt water. Just a little salt water is really bad for non-marine electronics and zip-lock bags AREN'T enough.
I haven't had any issues since I've be rigorous about keeping phones in off-the-Walmart-shelf mini dry boxes. Then, when I want to use it as a phone or camera, I get somewhere safe and dry on the boat, use it, and put it back in the dry box.
But for a camera on a longer trip? I'd get a compact P&S that was fully waterproof. My 7-year-old Canon has more features than I can use, is good to 3 meters depth, and has a good shock-rating.
I also stitch extra pockets on my PFD to be exactly where and the size I want, mostly for survival gear, VHF and an PLB. One such pocket could hold a camera and maybe be velcro-closured so as to allow one-handed access.May 19, 2015 at 9:23 pm #2200899

I really like my nikon waterproof camera, it has been bullet proof, dove down to 45 feet, swum rapids, I even lost it rafting and later found it in the river, still good. does it take as nice of pictures that a regular camera. no. but it gets used a lot more.May 23, 2015 at 7:40 pm #2201769

Im going through the same thing right now. The Sony Alpha 5000 stays in a dry bag strapped to the backpack but it is annoying taking it in and out. I'm thinking of getting a go pro when in splashy water and then on slow moving water pulling the Sony out of the dry bag every now and then.May 24, 2015 at 11:30 am #2201860

Fully waterproof cases are made for lots of cameras, from really expensive deep-diving cases to moderately priced lexan dive boxes to flexible plastic sacks with a glass section to shoot through.
For kayaking I purchased a lexan case for maybe $125 for a $175 Canon point-and-shoot. It is waterproof to 40m (uses an o-ring) and all camera functions are available. I now take a hundred times more photos kayaking than I did in the past, as previously I was reluctant to take my camera out of the dry bag except on shore. I've even experimented with underwater shots, with little luck.
The cases are not too heavy, maybe 8-12 oz depending on the camera. But having one makes all the difference in wet conditions. I'm currently looking at one for my Sony RX100. Meikon makes one for $120 (web price).May 25, 2015 at 7:26 am #2201998

When kayaking, I use a Pelican 1010 that fits both my Nikon P310, and the front pockets of my PFD perfectly.
You have to make sure the rubber surround that acts as a gasket is in place and has no wrinkles or bends if you choose to use a micro Pelican case, or be ready for a rude awakening after it's been submerged. Very quick and easy to use compared to a drybag or glorified Ziploc, but I became aware of that "failure point" by having my larger Pelican 1060 fill with water when I went for a swim after leaving it clipped to a small drybag instead of putting it inside-with my wallet, cell phone, and car keys inside :(
My Pentax WP lasted about as long as my regular point and shoots(I've killed a lot of cameras-think I'm on P310 #3 right now), and died on a beach trip when <3 weeks past its warranty. Apparently the instructions to send them in for yearly servicing of the seals is no joke. It was really convenient while it lasted, though.

So what's SuperBot's next move?[ Edited ]
Basically all of their secrets have been exposed. No more character speculation, modes etc. We're lucky if we can get a few more characters that aren't in the beta files.
I feel like each panel announcement from now on will be less exciting, I guess it's also my fault for going on the internet. lol
There are people who seem like they are no longer buying this game due to the leaked roster, I'm also quite disappointed in the 8 leaked roster but I'm still buying the game.
I mean Raiden over Snake? New Dante over original Dante? No Crash, Spyro or a Final Fantasy character rep is killing me right now. And I remember when they announced Cole, I was wondering where Evil Cole was but I was totally not expecting him to be another character! **bleep**!
Re: So what's SuperBot's next move?
I have played you online, your really freaking good. So i hope this wont turn some people off on here. I mean NO spyro or crash is expected. Activision. Square Enix not giving a **bleep** isnt new.
This roster is fantastic and my hype stands strong for this game.

Well Paul leaked Jak a long time ago but we couldn't be 100% sure it was real and I don't think Cole was leaked until the day of his announcement which is why it was still exciting. But since these are actual files from the beta, these leaked characters are pretty much confirmed which reduces my personal hype.

What is buildings insurance?
Building insurance is there to protect against damage to the structure of your property - the roof, walls, ceilings, floor, doors, windows, permanent fixtures and fittings like bathrooms and kitchens. It also covers pipes, cables and drains that belong to your house. Buildings insurance should cover you for the whole rebuild of your property if necessary. Some policies will include outside structures like garages, shed or perhaps the patio. For cover on all the moveable items in your home you'll need to take out home contents insurance. More about that here.
What does building insurance cover?
Building insurance cover varies depending on your provider so it's always a good idea to read your policy thoroughly. That way you'll know exactly what cover you're getting. But generally it protects you against a range of situations, including theft, vandalism, water damage, escape of oil from heating systems, fire, explosion, floods and storms, damage from falling trees and other natural disasters. It may also provide a limited amount of accidental damage cover to your bathroom suite or windows. , But accidental damage cover for the whole building is usually an extra level of cover so check your policy for details. Accidental damage is very useful for when something unexpected happens such drilling through a water pipe while doing some DIY.
What isn't covered?
Every policy will have its own clauses and exclusions, so it's important to get into that small print. You'll probably find that general wear and tear is not covered, and neither is damage caused by animals or insects. If your home has been unoccupied for a certain period, as set out in your policy, you may find that you're not covered for certain damage.
Do I need buildings insurance?
If you're renting or you live in a leasehold property, your landlord/freeholder will be responsible for the buildings insurance. They will then normally recover this in your service charge. So in this situation you only need to concern yourself with insuring your belongings with contents cover.
If you're a homeowner with a mortgage you'll probably find that it's a requirement from your lender that you have adequate buildings cover for the term of your mortgage - that is, whilst the mortgage company have an interest in the property. This responsibility actually begins even before you move into your home. You'll usually be required to start your building insurance on the date you exchange contracts, as this is when you become legally responsible for the property.
If you don't have a mortgage there's no legal requirement to have buildings insurance, but do remember that repairs to your home can be very expensive. Think about whether you would be able to afford major reconstruction work if something did go wrong. Taking out a building insurance policy could save you money in the long run and might give you peace of mind, too.

Patient Being Tested for Ebola in Sacramento Considered 'Low Risk'
The patient being tested for Ebola at a Sacramento hospital is considered low risk, California Department of Public Health officials said.
Dr. Gil Chavez, Deputy Director for the Center for Infectious Diseases, said blood samples have been drawn from the patient at Kaiser Permanente south and sent to the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta.
Dr. Chavez says currently, there are no reports of high-risk Ebola patients in California. He characterized the Sacramento patient as "low risk."
The Centers for Disease Control reportedly says there are only two confirmed U.S. cases of Ebola so far, but they also say there are about half a dozen patients samples that have been, or will be, tested.
That includes the patient at the Kaiser facility in South Sacramento.
That particular sample has not been received by the CDC just yet, but officials believe it is highly unlikely it will test positive for Ebola.
County health officials are declining to comment on whether this patient may have come in contact with others at the Sacramento Airport, local stores, coffee shops or other locations.

Pro Easy to use API
The API is very easy to use and very intuitive. On top of that, the documentation for the API is complete and very useful, covering everything you need to know.
Pro Migration documentation for moving from Mandrill
For those looking to move from Mandrill, Sendgrid has setup some really good documentation that helps with the difference in terminology and the API libraries.
Pro Both newsletter and transactional emails
Usually when choosing a service to send your application's emails you need two. One to send the newsletter or news and promotions from the marketing team and the other to send you application's automatic emails and messages. With SendGrid you don't have to choose two because it doubles
Con Not suitable for people without a technical background
There are some features which are missing by default from SendGrid (sign-up forms or follow-up messages just to name a few). In order to implement those in your emails, you need to know how to program because you have to code them yourself through SendGrid's API.
Pro Developer-focused
Mailgun has a RESTful API with libraries and code examples in curl, Ruby, Python, PHP, Java, C#, Go.
Pro Simple pricing
Mailgun has a simple pricing scheme where you pay for what you use without punitive overages. Every account has access to the same set of features once you add a credit card to your account.
Con Sub-par support
It has been reported several times that Mailgun's support is not excellent. Most of the time, they require a lot of time to respond to questions or support queries.
E-mail delivery and analytics service for developers.
Pro Built for developers
SparkPost supports both SMTP and REST APIs and has client libraries supportings many languages including nodejs, python, php, ruby, go, elixir, and java.
Pro Best Inboxing of any provider by almost 10 points, supported by third party data
SparkPost delivers more messages to the inbox than any other provider, not just to the recipient, to the actual inbox. So while almost every company will claim high 90's on deliverability, Sparkpost is the only one that's been able to demonstrate high 90's on inbox placement as well....
Pro Powerful template design capabilities
Mailjet has a template designer included, along with the option to upload your own custom templates. This gives you a lot of flexibility in personalizing emails.
Pro Good interface
The interface is very nice. Clean and easy to understand, especially when it comes to analytics. The graphs are clear and well-organized and you can choose what kind of data to display through checkboxes on the top of the graphs.
Con Customer service is not the greatest
Mailjet uses a ticket system to solve customer problems and answer questions related to the product. But usually they take a little bit of time to answer tickets and solve them.
Pro Highly cost effective
Amazon SES has one of the most competitive pricings on the market with just $0.10 per 1000 emails.
Pro Free tier if using EC2
If you are hosting your web application on Amazon EC2, then the first 62,000 emails each month are free.
Con Too lightweight
Since SES has been stripped down to do only one thing and do it well (send emails), there will be a lot of things missing which you will have to add on your own if you wish to have them. Things like analytics, template hosting, design tools etc... are missing from SES. Although there are third-pa...
Con Poor error handling
When email could not be received by the recipient due to some failure on their side, SES just drops it. No error recovery, reporting is not that great either.

Pro Deliverability & strategic consulting
Inline with the philosophy, pepipost offers Deliverability and Strategic consulting to clients to help them make most of their marketing investment.
Con Unpredictable price
Because of Pepipost's billing plans, it's very hard to predict costs. You never know how many users will open your emails any given time and if a lot of them end up not opening them (which most of the time is true) the price can get really high.
Pro Detailed analytics
Postmark offers very detailed analytics for your emails. For starters, it stores 45 days worth of email logs where you can search to find out which emails were sent, received, who received them, who read them and who marked them as spam. There are also recipient profiles which keep track of every...
Pro Messages are unlikely to be marked as spam

Item description for Faith, Reason and the Existence of God by Denys Turner...The proposition that the existence of God is demonstrable by rational argument is doubted by nearly all philosophical opinion today and is thought by most Christian theologians to be incompatible with Christian faith. This book argues that, on the contrary, there are reasons of faith why in principle the existence of God should be thought rationally demonstrable and that it is worthwhile revisiting the theology of Thomas Aquinas to see why this is so. The book further suggests that philosophical objections to proofs of God's existence rely upon an attenuated and impoverished conception of reason which theologians of all monotheistic traditions might wish to reject. Denys Turner proposes that on a broader and deeper conception of it, human rationality is open to the 'sacramental shape' of creation as such and in its exercise of rational proof of God it in some way participates in that sacramentality of all things.

UC Irvine To Fire Whistleblower Nurse?
This is not Ethel Mark, but isn't she so cute?
Paul Schultz
A cardiac care nurse at UC Irvine who raised questions about faulty narcotics pumps, proper nurse rotations and mandatory breaks was notified by management that she could expect to fired in early July, according to the California Nurses Association.
Ethel Mark, who's worked at UCI Medical Center for seven years, and a nurse's committee at the hospital have been pushing their managers to curb unsafe "floating" conditions, (nurses who aren't properly trained to operate patients' heart monitors are required to work shifts in the unit), to give nurses -- who work 12-hour shifts -- their proper breaks, and to replace faulty narcotic pumps (six months ago UCI pulled one third of all of these pumps because they failed mechanical tests). As of now, according to the Nurses Association, the remaining malfunctioning pumps still haven't been replaced or fixed.
Nurses are holding a vigil tonight outside of UC Irvine Medical Center to protest the impending firing of Mark, who the association says is being targeted for being a patient advocate and whistleblower. Jill Furillo an RN and Southern California Director of the California Nurses Association (CNA), which represents UC nurses says nurses are obligated to be patient advocates, and to act accordingly if they believe that their managers are making decisions that may hurt their patients. "Ethel Mark, RN had a legal and ethical obligation under the state's Nursing Practice Act to challenge unsafe practices and she acted accordingly," she said in a press release sent to the Weekly today.

It claimed that an ad in the yellow pages would "reach 94 percent of all Canon City households and 92 percent of northern Nevada residents and businesses."

Stammtfarh_ Property values surge by 8% Increase in value spurred by $76 million in new construction By ROGER CROTEAU City Editor m em Ap**uteri Archt** md waatoa tfOa (Unm* etmmmit), "Sfmmttck" wymwii rn tmmk&n tfdm cmmm*} I* fto md Urn* to day* Mhp —fer W« itmrn jim rn tov* to* M J Spurred by $76 million in new construction, the value of taxable property in Comal County surged almost eight percent since last year, according to preliminary figures from the Comal County Appraisal District. The figures show the taxable value of all property in the county jumped from $2.135 billion to $23 billion, a $165 million increase in just one year. "We will have the largest value increase this year that we have had since I came here in 1987," said Lynn Rodgers, chief appraiser at the OCAD. "We had a lot of new construction, and the value of existing properties also increased." Rodgers said the recovery of the real estate market appears to be gaining steam after the crash of the mid-80s. Last year, property values rose about four percent, and in 1992 values were stagnant, he said. Rodgers said he expects next year' growth in taxable value to be even higher than 1994. He pointed out that the 1994 numbers are still preliminary, and several million dollars will be knocked off the tax rolls when property owners start protesting their new appraisals, but he was confident the increase will still be the biggest in Single-family homes are showing the strongest gains, Rodgers said, but commercial properties and even raw land are also starting to increase in value. A survey of single-family home prices in a dozen neighborhoods in New Braunfels showed increasing home values in every neighborhood. (See accompanying chart.) Property Values in New Braunfels Notes: Figures for 1992 and 1993 are final from the Comal County Appraisal District. Figures for 1994 are preliminary figures from the appraisal district. Figures were arrived at by averaging the values of five homes on each street noted.

The Comal County Appraisal District is mailing out thousands of Notices of Appraised Value today. Lynn Rodgers, chief appraiser at CC AD, said the appraisal on average single-family home in the county will go up about eight percent from last year. "Most single-family homes will go up between four percent and IO percent this year," he said. With the increase in property values, it is likely the number of protests will also increase. Home owners will have until May 31 to file a formal protest with the appraisal district. Since the amount of property taxes home owners must pay depends on the value of their property, the higher the appraisal, the higher the property tax bills that will follow. Property owners who disagree with the value established by the appraisal district may protest to the Appraisal Review Board. The ARB is made up of five members, who hear protests from taxpayers. Many taxpayers are able to resolve their case through an informal meeting with an appraiser at the dutria office, without going to a formal hearing with the ARB. Property owners must have a good reason to have their appraisal lowered, such as the condition of the property, or another factor that would make its market value lower than the appraised value A one-page form is available at the Comal Appraisal District offioe rn the oouity courthouse to file •protest Kirk, Bruce address 'illegal meetings' HAMMETT Comal Independent School board members Douglas Kirk and Thomas Bruce came under fire from board members who wanted to address the issue of "illegal meetings," at last nighfs regular meeting. The reason I brought this up was that I wanted to get this out in the open," said board member Don Craighead who believed the board had violated no laws. "...We've done everything we oould not to put ourselves in jeopardy of that type." Kirk said the board had on several occasions violated provisions of the Texas Open Meetings Act dealing with discussions in executive session that were not listed on the executive session agenda. He also said a consensus had sometimes been reached without a public vote and that certified agendas were not being properly prepared. "I think it is up to us to police ourselves," said Kirk. "Otherwise, the standards we hold up to our students are going to be made a mockery." Potter addressed the issue of his retirement and return which has occurred over the last year, asking if this was the cause of arguement and stating since he was never replaced that he was at all times a legal member of the board. "I didn't want this to be yet another diversion," said Potter of his initial decision to resign Kirk laid this was missing the point, th* his allegations had to do with the Open Meetings Aa. Other members said these arguments were hurting the board's ability to work together and find solutions. "We specialize in surprises here at this board," said Craig head. "I'm getting tired of hearing complaints but not solutions" Many people in the packed auditorium came to hear the issue of the homestead exemption. The issue was placed on the agenda because a May I deadline exists should the district want to change the optional exemption, which it did not recommend. The board voted 7-0 to keep the 20 percent exemption on homestead values. The C1SD is one of the few districts in the area to have the exemption which does not apply to businesses. The board voted to accept a master plan contingent upon final draft presented by Barnes Architects in conjuction with the Long-Range Facilities Study Committee. The plan calla for several permanent new buildings by the year 2000 and proposes a $30 million in bond issues to cover costs. The question of new buildings and how to fund them will be addressed in a meeting May 9 after board members continue to read the draft plan. "First of all we have to decide, 'Do we have a problem?*," said board member Tom Potter, "Then we have to decide how we strive it, and if we agree, how to pay for it." The board approved 24 new teachers for next year, 22 in elementary grades and two additional foreign language teachers in the secondary level at a total cost of $600,000. Dr. Caroline Wcmli of the CISD said projections indicate an increase of443 students next year. The distria increased by 544 students from August 1993 to August 1994. Board member Douglas Kirk said fonding issues must come under scrutiny, even for must needs such ss teachers. The issue is'What are we going to have to push and dwve to fond the one thing we must have?'" he said NBU approves plan to allow increased contribution to dty By JENMFER ROMPEL Staff Writer A new plan approved by the New Braunfels Utilities Board of Trusters will allow the city of New Braunfels to receive an increased amount of funds in the next budget year. The new plan calls for the city to receive IO percent of the gras revenues of the utilities. The IO percent will be subtracted from the revenues after the wtter and electric cons are covered The plan will allow the city to receive $1.4 million in the next budget year. This is $400,000 more than it would have received under the current transfer plan. NBU General Manager Bob Sohn said the new plan may work better because the current system does not include funds from the water and sewer departments The water and sewer departments currently are losing money and the costs are covered by fonds from the dearie system The new system will make the city and the utilities mote equal, according to Sohn "We will take the gross service revenue from water, electric and sewer and subtract the con of electric power.. The mmberthN is left will be multiplied by the percentage. When we realize the percentage, that is the amount of money the utilities will transfer to the dty," said Sohn. "We will also have a checkpoint to ensure that our operations arc not rn danger," he said lite checkpoint will occur when the utilities arrives at the gross service revenue. The costs of debt service and other obligations of the utilities must be paid before the dty receives a transfer Mayor Rudy Seidd said he would like to see a higher percentage given to the dty.

Spending too much on PC hardware, especially if just starting out, is an easy way to lose money and end up with a computer that costs too much to maintain. Some tips for beginners are included!
There are many reasons beginners in the gaming industry tend to overpay for hardware. Everyone obviously wants the best setup, but no one is willing to do their homework and get a setup that fits their personal needs and wants. Failure to optimize a computer for your own lifestyle can lead to either bad financial issues or an overpowered computer with an owner who doesn't know how to use its capabilities to the max.
Consistently watching YouTube videos from tech giants like IGN, NCIX, or LinusTechTips will undoubtedly encourage you to want to have computer desktops like they do. Linus in particular always has new hardware seemingly every day, and he and his staff post about it almost as frequently. This could push users to desire a $2,000 gaming setup that they can't afford and sometimes they end up trying to build it anyway. In less extreme cases, a lot of gamers are looking at how frequently others are upgrading their systems. They think that perhaps they should be upgrading as frequently too. I mean, just take a look at these two Reddit posts: here and here. There are experienced PC builders out there only upgrading from year to year or every other generation. You don't have to upgrade as frequently as Linus does. Remember, he runs a YouTube channel which makes him enough to afford the costs of upgrading with the latest technology very often.
Yes, everyone wants to run a superstar desktop that can run Dark Souls 3 on ultra 4K resolution with maximum settings, 60 frames per second, and no sound coming from the PC's tower. However, that should never be a realistic goal unless you can afford it. You want to have the best hardware that your money can buy. Don't be ashamed here. If you can only afford a computer that costs $400 or so, buy that computer and save money to upgrade in the future. If your budget allows you to spend around $1000, definitely do that, save money, and upgrade later. Don't go around dropping 2 grand on a desktop only to realize you can't afford it and are now stuck with more power than you really need.
A lot of reasons. I already mentioned the financial setbacks you can potentially have by not planning such a huge purchase. Just like you don't buy a car on a whim, you shouldn't spend $2000-$3000 out of nowhere on a hobby you aren't too knowledgeable about. Obviously, it's a different story if you know what you are doing. If you're a beginner and you are spending that kind of cash, chances are you probably aren't aware of every single feature an expensive, high-end GPU might give you versus a slightly expensive graphics card.
I wanted to leave some tips since this post has been in my mind for a while. I hate seeing people end up not liking this amazing hobby just because they made a mistake. They buy an expensive computer, realize maintaining and upgrading it (not to mention the much higher costs of paying for electricity power) costs way too much for them, and stop looking forward to that next purchase or upgrade. Trust me, this hobby is worth it. But it won't be exciting if the only thing you are worried about is the amount you lost buying a desktop you aren't sure of.
You need a plan. Before buying a house or before retiring, you need a plan right? Well, same thing goes for this smaller scenario. Put aside a couple hundred bucks, or whatever you can afford to, and really save it. Understand that this is a hobby you might be interested in, so saving should be that important for you. If you simply don't have the funds to save, don't get into it just yet. For that case, I would suggest the cheaper alternative: gaming consoles like the Xbox One. I've seen deals where new bundles cost around $275, which is definitely a good entry point into gaming.
Research is important. Bringing back the car analogy: you always research car information before purchasing a new one right? You look online for what a specific model goes for, both new and used. You see the miles per gallon, what year it was released, any specific problems you might run into, etc. Again, it is similar with gaming desktops. You need to research individual parts, see which processor can function optimally with which graphics card, or see if that specific graphics card is worth that price. See the video below from Newegg on building a computer with compatible hardware.
It's all part of strategic purchasing. Gaming is expensive, so why run up your bill by not doing quick homework? Knowing more about the technology has personally saved me hundreds; as I have obtained skills to spot if a particular piece is overpriced or if I can get a better component for what I am paying.
Building computers as a hobby should not be about how much you spend. I have seen ridiculously low prices for some medium-range processors. I have even built computers with the help of my friend using only PC parts that were on sale. That specific build only cost me around $800 including tax and shipping, but it still is able to run last year's games, some on high and some on medium. It's all possible. You just have to be smart with your purchases.

American Catholics for whom the noun, not the adjective, is determinative are thus faced with a brutal fact: our deeply wounded political culture has produced two impossible options in the 2016 Republican and Democratic tickets.
Still misreading Vatican II

From his present location in the communion of saints, Jesuit Father John Courtney Murray, who died in 1967, is probably indifferent to the various ways his work on Catholicism and American democracy is misconstrued in the 21st century.

Religious freedom: Not just Pakistan and China
Mar 22 2012
Thirty-some years ago, I spent a fair amount of time on religious freedom issues: which meant, in those simpler days, trying to pry Lithuanian priests and nuns out of Perm Camp 36 and other GULAG islands. Had you told me in 1982 that one of my "clients," the Jesuit Sigitas Tamkevicius, would be archbishop of Kaunas in a free Lithuania in 2012, I would have thought you a bit optimistic. If you had also told me, back then, that there would eventually be serious religious freedom problems in the United States, I would have thought you a bit mad.

Ireland should look at Baltimore history
Dec 08 2011
Catholicism is in crisis all over Old Europe. Nowhere is that crisis more pronounced than in Ireland, where clerical corruption and disastrous episcopal leadership have collided with rank political expediency and a rabidly anticlerical media to produce a perfect storm of ecclesiastical meltdown. The country whose constitution begins "In the name of the Most Holy Trinity…" is now thoroughly post-Christian. And while there has been no one cause of that radical secularization, the church in Ireland had best look to itself, its sins, its errors and its unbecoming alliance with political power as it considers how to begin anew.
Father Barron's 'Catholicism'
Sep 29 2011
In the fall of 1972, a group of us, philosophy majors all, approached our dean of studies, Father Bob Evers, with a request: Under the supervision of a faculty member, could we build a two-credit senior seminar in our last college semester around Kenneth Clark's BBC series, "Civilization," which had been shown on American public television. Father Evers agreed, and we had a ball. "Civilization" was the perfect way to finish a serious undergraduate liberal arts education; it brought together ideas, art, architecture and history in a visually compelling synthesis of the history of western culture that respected Catholicism's role in shaping the West.
The gentlemanly art of the insult
Sep 15 2011
One of the (many) signs of our cultural decline is that verbal insults, these days, are almost invariably scatological or sexual, provoking a blizzard of asterisks whenever A wants to put the smackdown on B. Once upon a time, it was not so.
Martyrdom in Pakistan
Aug 25 2011
Sixty-four years ago, on Aug. 14, 1947, Great Britain's empire in the Indian subcontinent was divided into the independent, self-governing Dominions of India and Pakistan. The division of the subcontinent into two states was bitterly opposed by the Indian Congress Party and Winston Churchill, but supported by the Muslim League (with Congress, one of the two major pro-independence parties in the British Raj) and the Attlee government, which had displaced Churchill in 1945. Congress proposed power-sharing plans that would hold the subcontinent together as a political unit; they were all rejected by the leader of the Muslim League, a Scotch-drinking, pork-eating, and rather secular lawyer named Mohammad Ali Jinnah.
The church and the unions
Mar 24 2011
Judging by the impassioned commentary from some Catholic quarters during recent confrontations between unionized public-sector workers and state governments, you'd think we were back in 1919, with the church defending the rights of wage slaves laboring in sweat shops under draconian working conditions. That would hardly seem to be the circumstances of, say, unionized American public school teachers who make handsome salaries with generous health and pension benefits, work for nine months of the year, and are virtually impossible to fire even if they commit felonies. I don't think those were the kinds of workers Leo XIII had in mind in "Rerum Novarum," or John Paul II in "Laborem Exercens."
