Chapter 5
Sasha trudged across the school yard and up the steps. She walked straight to her locker and popped it open. Becki Hamilton was standing at her locker as well which was directly next to Sasha's. Becki was one of the Popular girls at Hamilton High. She used to be on the Cheer squad but had to drop out due to a broken leg from a bad landing. She looked up at Sasha and smiled. Just then Melissa Roberts, another popular cheerleader at Lincoln High and also Oliver's girlfriend, ran up to Becki.
"People are already talking about it." She practically yelled. She was panicked and Sasha could see tears welling up in her eyes, "Who told? How could someone do that to me."
"Oh, Honey, I'm so sorry." Becki pulled her friend in for a hug, which, Sasha noticed, was a bit awkward with her crutches getting in the way, "it was bound to come out when Oliver returned to school on Monday. Wouldn't you rather just get it over with now, then be humiliated in front of him?"
Sasha was confused and completely curious about what these two could possibly be talking about. She then remembered the Facebook message she had gotten from Oliver last night. She had been so distracted with the conversation she had with her mother that it had completely slipped her mind.
"I guess." Melissa stopped to think over Becki's logic. "I just don't understand who would've told. Whoever it was, is definitely out to get me." She said pulling herself together and getting slightly irritated now.
"We'll get everything figured out soon. But right now we have to get to class. Come on, Sweetie." Becki shut her locker, put her arm around Melissa's waist and the two walked off to their Choir class together.
Sasha's heart was beating faster. Did Oliver and Melissa break up? Was that why Oliver had messaged her like that? The hallway was quickly clearing and Sasha couldn't get herself to move. She just stood at her locker staring into it.
"Sasha! There you are," Kelsie ran up behind Sasha, "I've been looking for you."
"Oh hi, Kels." Sasha turned to face her friend. Her brow was furrowed in complete confusion.
"What's going on?" Kelsie asked worried.
"I'm not sure yet." Sasha glanced down at her watch. 7:29. Class would be starting any second. "We should go. We'll be late." She said as she shut her locker and quickly passed by her friend.
"Wait, Sasha!" Kelsie caught up and grabbed Sasha's arm. "Do you want to talk about anything?"
"I don't even know what's going on yet. Let's just go before we get in trouble." Kelsie sighed and trudged after her friend.
"Okay, I'll see you all on Monday. Have a great weekend." Mr. Kingsley, unenthusiastically, said.
Everyone made such a racket when leaving classes, especially when leaving for lunch or for the weekend. Sasha exited the classroom and was met by Kelsie.
"You know, I meant to ask you," She said as she fell in stride with Sasha as they both headed to lunch, "Where did you get that bruise on your head?"
"Is it that noticeable?" Sasha reached up to touch it.
"No, it's not. I'm just extremely observant." Kelsie smiled, "You didn't answer my question though."
"Oh, um," Sasha stuttered, "It's actually kind of funny. So, When my mom came to get me yesterday, I didn't bend down far enough when getting into the front seat and hit my head on the roof of the car." Sasha laughed.
"Oh, okay." Kelsie smiled but wasn't convinced.
Just then they entered the lunch room and Aubrey Stoker ran up to them.
"You will not believe what happened on Wednesday night." She walked with them to the lunch line and waited for them to ask what. When they didn't she just continued anyways, "Oliver broke up with Melissa!" She waited for a response but still didn't get one, "Which means Melissa was single all day yesterday and nobody even knew. Oh there's Joey, Sorry gotta go." Aubrey ran off.
"Oh my god." Sasha said, "It's true." she turned to face Kelsie.
"You mean you knew and didn't tell me?"
"Well that's what I wasn't sure about this morning. I can't believe this." Sasha picked up a tray, "And Oliver messaged ME last night."
"He what!!" Kelsie practically yelled.
"Shh! You don't have to yell." Sasha pulled out her cash and payed for the food then waited for Kelsie to pay for her own, "It's really not that big a deal."
"Oh right, the guy that you've had a crush on since Freshman year messages you last night and it's just 'no big deal'." Kelsie sat down at a table in the corner of the cafeteria where not many people were sitting. "Well what did he say?"
"He just said that he can't wait to come back to school on Monday and he misses everyone." Sasha chose to leave out the bit of him thinking about her. She didn't want to jump to any conclusions.
"And what did you say?" Kelsie popped a fork full of green beans in her mouth.
"I didn't really respond yet." Sasha lied.
"Why not?"
"Well I didn't see it until really late last night and," Sasha paused, "I guess I just didn't know what to say." She picked up her droopy pizza and took a bite, the cheese was rubbery and stringy.
Kelsie nodded and took another bite of her green beans. "I just can't believe you didn't tell me sooner." She said with her mouth full.
"I'm sorry, Kelse, I just didn't want to jump to any conclusions."
"I just hope you'll be careful."
"Well, I'm not gonna like go jump into bed with Oliver this weekend." Sasha laughed, "I don't even know if that's an option yet."
"That's not what I mean, Sasha." Kelsie put down her fork and looked at her friend, "I just don't want you to get hurt. You know he had only been dating Melissa for a month and he already broke up with her. He broke her heart. I just don't want the same thing to happen to you."
"It won't!" Sasha was getting irritated now. "Excuse me, I have to pee." Sasha stood up and headed to the bathroom.
She stepped inside and stood in front of the mirror just staring at her reflection. She reached up and touched the bruise. It seemed to be getting bigger. Just then she heard what sounded like someone crying. Sasha turned around and noticed feet under one of the stalls. She thought about just leaving before whoever it was knew she was there but something stopped her.
"Hey are you okay?" Sasha asked. The sound immediately stopped.
"Who's there?" Came the voice.
"It's Sasha."
"Sasha Greene?" The voice sounded as if the name tasted bad on her tongue, "I don't need your help, Sasha. Just go away." Sasha then realized it was Melissa.
"Is this about Oliver?" Sasha asked.
"Honestly, Sasha, I don't need you!" Melissa shouted, "I especially don't need you standing there talking to me as if you know even half of what's going on. Please just leave!"
"Fine. Forget I said anything." Sasha calmly said as she left the bathroom.
The rest of the day seemed to drag by extremely slow. Everyone was talking about the Melissa and Oliver break up and it was starting to get old. After Ms. Blair dismissed everyone for the day. Sasha darted out the door and out of the school as fast as she could. She didn't want to talk to Kelsie anymore and she didn't want to hear another thing about Oliver or Melissa. She practically ran across the lawn and started on her 23 minute walk home.

The BBC is relaunching its mobile internet site, one of the most popular destinations on the mobile web, as more people have a phone that can access the internet.
The new bbc.co.uk site, which goes live today, is based on the design of the broadcaster's existing internet site. With most mobile phones now fitted with colour screens and relatively fast connections to the web, the new site has more colour and interactive elements.
Upgrading the corporation's seven-year-old mobile internet technology will also allow it to produce specific content for sporting events such as this summer's Wimbledon tennis championships and the Olympics.
In fact, sport plays an important role in the BBC's plans to market the new service. As part of a planned four-week marketing campaign, the BBC will target football fans at matches with posters inviting them to text FOOTBALL to 81010 for a link to its football site.
The website also includes a new section for BBC Radio 1's Newsbeat, with entertainment headlines and pictures.
The BBC has more than 2.7 million unique mobile users a month, making it the most popular mobile site outside the phone companies' own portals.

A Genius Gone Too Soon. British Animator Run Wrake Loses Battle With Cancer.
Run Wrake was, quite simply, one of the most strikingly original creative minds of recent years. His work was immediately recognizable as his own, his personality burning through even in his commercial work. And it saddens me to say he 'was' because Wrake passed away Sunday after losing a battle with cancer. He was only 47.

Enhancing Resilience of Vulnerable Coastal Areas to Climate Change Risks in Liberia
Liberia is highly vulnerable to climate change in coastal areas. The coastal population is poor and all social indicators are very low. Unemployment is high and the gender situation is weak. A large proportion of the coastal community live in temporary and/or poorly constructed housing with little protection from sea or storm surges. A large proportion of these people live on very low lying land, often in unplanned settlements, illegal or extra-legal settlements. For this combination of reasons, the community's capacity to adapt to climate change is very low, and resilience is very limited. In the baseline, climate-change induced sea level rise combined with increasing storms and sea-surges could have catastrophic impacts in terms of destroying livelihoods and lives. Already, key economic sectors of fishing, farming and trade are under risk and the displacement of people is increasing.
LDCF funds will first create a national level enabling environment that is favorable to adaptation in coastal communities across Liberia. This will include the strong support and understanding of national leaders, an empowered inter-sectoral coastal protection unit, clearly established priorities and an operational plan, revised sectoral policies, a cadre of coastal engineers and planners, and adequate tertiary education. Climate related information management will be enhanced, and Liberia will have the capacity to access emerging global adaptation funds.
Source: UNDP Liberia Project Document (April 13, 2010)
Project Details
Liberia recently emerged from a lengthy civil war that led to the loss of major institutions and basic infrastructure, including most public administration and most human resources. Recent stabilisation of society, improvements in governance and the support of the international community are helping put Liberia back on a positive development path and it is now considered a country 'on the move'. Despite this relative peace and stability, numerous barriers exist to tackling the climate change induced threats of coastal erosion and flooding. In turn, damage to coastal habitats and ecosystems could contribute to undermining the recently acquired peace and stability.
At three representative sites, LDCF funds will also demonstrate how low-cost, low-tech, sustainable measures to adapt to climate change can be successfully implemented in coastal areas in the Liberian context. As a result, three sites will be sustainably protected against sea levels storms and surges, and the concerned communities will be sustainably managing coastal ecosystems. Gabion groynes and revetments will be complemented by improved planning, participatory monitoring, improved resources management and community maintenance schemes. These three sites will have served as a school of learning for national and county level experts, agencies and decision-makers. Finally, LDCF Funds will be used to document all successes and disseminate in a targeted manner the lessons learnt.
In each case, LDFC funds are mainstreamed with co-financing activities to yield multiple benefits, including increased resilience to climate change.

Reports and Publications
Project Brief / Fact Sheet
Monitoring and Evaluation
Project Start:
- Project Inception Workshop: will be held within the first 2 months of project start with those with assigned roles in the project organization structure, UNDP country office and where appropriate/feasible regional technical policy and programme advisors as well as other stakeholders. The Inception Workshop is crucial to building ownership for the project results and to plan the first year annual work plan.
- Day to day monitoring of implementation progress: will be the responsibility of the Project Manager, based on the project's Annual Work Plan and its indicators, with overall guidance from the Project Director. The Project Team will inform the UNDP-CO of any delays or difficulties faced during implementation so that the appropriate support or corrective measures can be adopted in a timely and remedial fashion.
- Project Progress Reports (PPR): quarterly reports will be assembled based on the information recorded and monitored in the UNDP Enhanced Results Based Management Platform. Risk analysis will be logged and regularly updated in ATLAS.
- Annual Project Review/Project Implementation Reports (APR/PIR): This key report is prepared to monitor progress made since project start and in particular for the previous reporting period (30 June to 1 July). The APR/PIR combines both UNDP and GEF reporting requirements.
Periodic Monitoring through Site Visits:
- UNDP CO and the UNDP RCU will conduct visits to project sites based on the agreed schedule in the project's Inception Report/Annual Work Plan to assess first hand project progress. Other members of the Project Board may also join these visits. A Field Visit Report/BTOR will be prepared by the CO and UNDP RCU and will be circulated no less than one month after the visit to the project team and Project Board members.
Mid-Term of Project Cycle:
- Mid-Term Evaluation: will determine progress being made toward the achievement of outcomes and will identify course correction if needed. It will focus on the effectiveness, efficiency and timeliness of project implementation; will highlight issues requiring decisions and actions; and will present initial lessons learned about project design, implementation and management. Findings of this review will be incorporated as recommendations for enhanced implementation during the final half of the project's term.
End of Project:
- Final Evaluation: will take place three months prior to the final Project Board meeting and will be undertaken in accordance with UNDP and GEF guidance. The final evaluation will focus on the delivery of the project's results as initially planned (and as corrected after the mid-term evaluation, if any such correction took place). The final evaluation will look at impact and sustainability of results, including the contribution to capacity development and the achievement of global environmental benefits/goals. The Terminal Evaluation should also provide recommendations for follow-up activities.
- Project Terminal Report: This comprehensive report will summarize the results achieved (objectives, outcomes, outputs), lessons learned, problems met and areas where results may not have been achieved. It will also lie out recommendations for any further steps that may need to be taken to ensure sustainability and replicability of the project's results.
Learning and Knowledge Sharing:
- Results from the project will be disseminated within and beyond the project intervention zone through existing information sharing networks and forums.
- The project will identify and participate, as relevant and appropriate, in scientific, policy-based and/or any other networks, which may be of benefit to project implementation though lessons learned. The project will identify, analyze, and share lessons learned that might be beneficial in the design and implementation of similar future projects.
- Finally, there will be a two-way flow of information between this project and other projects of a similar focus.

This quarterly emerging markets debt strategy update will cover recent EMD market movements and our outlook on these markets, as well as our current product positioning.
Phil Yuhn, Senior Vice President, Portfolio Manager/Engineer, will join in to talk specifically about our EMD Total Return strategy.
After a very challenging 2015, emerging market debt has produced a strong, broad-based move forward thus far in 2016. Through the month of April, components of the asset class are up anywhere from 5% to 11%. An obvious question on the minds of all professional investors: Can this trend last? Please join Jim Barrineau, Co-Head of Emerging Market Debt Relative at Schroders, in a wide-ranging discussion on the current status of this asset class. Jim will cover the factors that have propelled the market so far in 2016, the anticipated drivers going forward, and the potential tail risks to the asset class.Read more >

Uday Patnaik gives a quarterly review on how Emerging Market Debt has been performingRead more >
Investors increasingly are looking outside traditional government bonds in order to generate acceptable yield in what is a historical low-yielding environment.
Emerging Market Debt (EMD) has been a significant beneficiary of this reallocation. In spite of this, yields for EMD remain significantly elevated in comparison to their developed market peers, and in line with their longer term historical averages.
Much of this capital has been placed into more traditional EM issuers which in itself concentrates investors' risks. Looking at benchmarks, the most consistent and superior long-term risk/reward outcomes in euro terms have tended to be generated by a blended allocation to hard currency, local currency and corporate EMD.
Given the significant differences in correlation of hard, local and corporate EMD versus traditional fixed income, this active and blended approach could provide investors with diversification from core fixed income holdings whilst capturing the higher yields on offer.
In recent months, the downward trend in emerging markets has reversed. Register now to join Dr. Ricardo Adrogué as he identifies the factors supporting EM sovereign debt and discusses how the asset class may offer attractive opportunities over the next 12 months.Read more >
Infrastructure debt is gaining growing recognition as an asset class that can help investors secure attractive yields, good stability and valuable diversification over long horizons.
But it poses challenges as well as opportunities.
How well are these challenges understood? Should investors think about downside protection before moving into infrastructure debt?
Why should investors focus on core assets? And why should they avoid "infrastructure drift"?
How can manager selection impact on investment outcomes?
In this live webcast, fund manager Steve Ellis will discuss the outlook for Emerging Market Debt and how the views are reflected in his fund positioning.Read more >
At HSBC, we believe in thinking outside the box on emerging markets debt by taking a total return approach. Learn more in the video below.Read more >
Following the launch of the Emerging Market Total Return Debt Fund on 29th September, Steve Ellis, Portfolio Manager, will discuss Fidelity's flexible approach to investing in Emerging Market Debt. Steve will discuss the benefits of a benchmark agnostic strategy while outlining the Fund's investment process and current positioning. Against an uncertain macro backdrop, Steve will further share his market outlook for next year and highlight where he sees the most compelling opportunities.Read more >

Between 2002-2010, Natalia was a European high yield analyst at Barclays Capital in London. Natalia holds a MSc in Accounting and Finance from London School of Economics and a BSs in International Economics from Plekhanov Russian Economic Academy.
For professional investors only. With the huge and expanding diversity of countries, credits and instruments emerging market debt is rich in opportunity for fund managers empowered to take a non-benchmark driven approach. Colm McDonagh, Insight's head of emerging market debt, explains how he navigates the asset class.Read more >
Please join Steve Ellis in this regular webcast as he looks to explain Fidelity's Emerging Market Debt team's views on why, in a low yield world and despite soft fundamentals, emerging market debt continues to offer an attractive income for an acceptable level of risk. The asset class has enjoyed a strong start to the year, with the supply/demand imbalance created by inflows and limited debt issuance leading yields to come in. This has resulted in an approximate 4% return for hard currency debt over the year to date. Local currency sovereign debt currently yields around 6.4%, US dollar-denominated sovereign debt yields 5.7% and US dollar-denominated corporates yield 5.2%. This compares very favorably to yields on offer from various asset classes in the developing world; particularly when considering a significant proportion of this universe is rated investment grade.
Emerging markets can throw up opportunities where one might least expect to find them. Please join Steve Ellis in discovering where the market opportunities lie.

Chapter 3
I stand from the couch. "You know what I think? I think you're crazy with a capital C." Despite everything I had heard and seen, I don't believe him. I might have been hallucinating in the train.
But how do you explain how you got here? I ask myself. His clothes makes me suggest that he is a crazed lunatic. Plus his attitude. I can't believe I followed him here. I can't believe I am in his house right now. I can't even believe that I am here speaking to him and mentally cursing and scolding myself for being here in the first place. "It was pleasure meeting you but,"I jerk a thumb to that old,wooden door that looks enough fragile for me to kick it down with just a nudge of my foot,"I should probably get going now. My...parents would kill me if I'm late."
It was a lie. I don't have parents. I have been an orphan for as long as I can remember. I stayed with my aunt for some time. She was abusive and would go out to wild parties and return home drunk and start hitting me with anything she got her hands on after Uncle Dev filed a divorce. She's currently staying behind bars for now and sometimes sent to the mental hospital (from what I'd heard) for stabbing someone in an alley when she was drunk when I was thirteen. The victim managed to escape with minor injuries. Till now,I can still feel the pain and see her in my dreams. She was my own personal nightmare.
I snap out of my thoughts when he suddenly begins to peel his coat and then his shirt off, revealing the killer body that can make any girl swoon over. His muscles tightening. His skin a perfect light bronze. Strong arms. Hard abs. Well-built body and excellent physical shape."W--What are you doing?"I stammer,looking away quickly as I get really uncomfortable with the thought of being here with a half-naked man. Alone. In his house.
"You seem very uncomfortable with me wearing clothes. If you wanted me naked,all you had to do was ask." I can feel him raking his hair.
"No! I didn't mean it that way!" How stupid and crazy this guy can be? "It's the way you're dressed,moron!" A blush crawls its way up to my cheeks.
"Moron?"he repeats as if it doesn't sound right. "What is that? Is it the definition of charming?" He rubs the back of his neck. "Or did you meant maroon?"
I nearly slap my forehead. "Are you really that dumb?"
"If I had known,I would never have made a fool out of myself. Besides, I'm sure that that word doesn't exist," he says as he strokes his collarbone.
"Oh?"I say,crossing my arms. Good looks and no brains. "There's a thing called dictionary. Look it up. It surely describes you. A lot." When he raises an eyebrow at me, I sigh. Just when I'm about to tell him the meaning of moron, someone bangs the wooden door bangs and despite its looks, I'm surprised it hasn't break down yet.
"Phantoms!"Codian shouts and then he suddenly grasps my hand and leads me to a room and then down the basement. Everything is dark despite the time of the day. Of course,it's underground.
"Here."I hear a door creaking. "Hang on."His hands slide beneath my knees and the other at my back,lifting me up. I nearly let out a sigh of relief that it is dark so he can't see how red my cheeks are.
We bump into something soft as he runs. Not the softness of pillows,more like the surface of water.
I look down at the well-polished black and white tiled floor as Codian puts me down,allowing my eyes to explore the beauty of our new location. I let my eyes travel to the gray walls on both sides that meet and form a tall arched ceiling high above. Ancient paintings hung on both sides of the walls. They are even beautiful than the famous Mona Lisa. Eight large stone pillars,evenly spaced at the sides of the great hall.There is a set of double staircases,one on the right and the other on the left sides at the end of the magnificent hall. Golden,hard ropes of vines entwine into beautiful patterns to form into railings.
I have seen castles in movies and in storybooks,picturing castles through novels;but nothing had prepared me for being in one in real life. But the real deal is in the middle of this grand hall. An angel in armour carved from stone is holding his sword of flowing ,crystal water into the pool below like the bravest of all warriors. His wings rising from his back. I gaze at the ethereal beauty of the heavenly being.
"Where is this place?"I ask,breathless.
"The Fallen School,"he answers,almost proudly and loud. His voice bouncing off the walls. "Breathtaking,isn't it?"
"How did we get here?"
"We went through the portal in the basement. Phantoms can't get through there. We're safe here. That house I took you to was just a...decoy. The treasure is just below. Even if they found the portal,they can't get through." He spreads his hands in front of him. "Just think of it this way. They're the shadows of the dark. They can't get through the light."He tips his chin lazily at the stairs on the right. As we walk through the hall,he explains, "Phantoms don't usually attack at daytime. In fact,they rarely attack humans. Imagine my surprise when I saw them about to attack you. And once they start an attack,they won't stop until that person is dead. Hunter and prey. That's their thing."
"How did you know I was in trouble?"
A slight frown is starting to form on his face. "Alden had been missing for two days. he was supposed to be here. We had been searching for him since then without rest. And when I tried to track him,the tracks led to you. That's when I sensed the Angel's Tear on you. I followed you for a while. Why didn't you escape?"
I bite my lip."Well,excuse me. If I'd known that they're Phantoms,I would've made a run for it." I clear out the anger. "So why call it the Angel's Tear? It sounds..."I shrug,"...sad." I picture the stone angel weeping.
"Would you prefer the Blood Tear Of The Angel?"
It takes me a moment for it to sink in. "It was called the Blood Tear Of The Angel?" After climbing the stairs,we make a right turn to a corridor.
"That was what we called it centuries ago until we find the name too long and too strange and ghastly to call it that. So in order to honour the angel,we call it the Angel's Tear."He sweeps his hair to the side. "We'll talk more of it later." He opens an oak door.
He stretches a hand to motion for me to enter. "Ladies first,"he whispers. A huge grin on his face when he sees my frown.
I get in and he follows close behind. Like the hall from earlier, this room has double staircases on each sides,leading down. But it is more violent-looking. I see swords, guns, shurikens, katanas, daggers and spears hanging on walls and some in display cases. Other than that,there is nothing more. No furniture except for the painting at the far end of the large room. The painting of the angel. It's the same statue but realistic with bright colours.
I am about to open my mouthy to say something but then I hear someone arguing. The voices are so familiar. A boy and a girl. They are the ones I have known since my childhood. I grab onto the cold railing and peek down the stairs.

The cliche "a force to be reckoned with" I believe refers to something you must deal with or confront say getting a bear out of your cabin the bear would be a force to be reckoned with. i.e. do not under estimate the bear. Dont mess around that is not a possum in there, that bear is a force to be reckoned with.
My interpretation of Limatunes phrase "a force best not reckoned with." would refer to something you could avoid given a choice. That bee hive in the woods is a force best not reckoned with. In context of Limas post I took it to mean that Lima is someone that is best left alone i.e. not an easy target or victim. Or at least thats my take. Hopefully Lima will correct me if my interpretation is incorrect.

Be extremely careful how you critique lima.
She is a force best not reckoned with.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims?
Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
They were in uniform. However, the BGs had taken up concealed positions (IIRC, one was pretending to be a store clerk while the other moved to ambush). A visible gun may have been missed, certainly, but it is more likely that a concealed gun would have gone overlooked.I can see how you could make a case that is an example of a risk someone OCing may encounter. It would help to know if the officers were in uniform or not. A police uniform of course is a giant flashing neon DANGER sign to a BG. While a civilian OC'ing could also be seen as a danger sign but more like a window sign that they may miss. As Lima stated the BG's are target focused. Anyone entering the store is a threat, one that needs to be dealt with, but not necessarily given their full attention or with extreme prejudice as they are not the same level of threat as a LEO is. Even if the gun is seen the robber may ask are you a LEO rather than just shoot. Remember most BG see civilians and LEO very differently. Completely different threat levels. Still I think you make a good point. At least one worthy of consideration if you are going to OC. But than again I think someone is waiting to kill me every time I walk through a door. My wife thinks thats a bit over the top bordering crazy. I don't, been there done that did not like it.
Doing some research, I found the following on a FOP memo released in support of H.R. 218/S. 253:This raises the question How did they know he was a cop? It is possible (though no where near certain) that they saw a firearm. Again, I think it is a fairly common assumption from many non-gun folks that someone with a pistol, in a holster, openly displayed is an LEO. It seems that Officer Marquez-Rivera made no attempt to stop the robbery (there are many cases in this paper of police being killed while trying to intervene and the attempt is clearly articulated; there is no mention of intervention in this case), so we are left to wonder how the robbers IDed him and why they decided to kill him.Officer Angel Luis Marquez-Rivera of the Puerto Rico Police Department was off-duty and out of uniform when suspects, identifying him as a police officer, shot and killed him during a robbery attempt.
The following case is similar:There is also this case, where the officer was apparently killed by the BG after he was IDed as an LEO. Again, was it a badge or a gun or something else that "made" him as a cop?Sergeant Keith R. Levine, a six-year veteran of the New York City Police Department, was offduty when he observed a suspect robbing a man at an automatic teller machine. He was shot and killed by the suspect.Again, none of these directly adresses non-LEO encounters, but they bear some similarities to situations that may arise for armed civilians.Officer Oliver Wendell Smith, Jr., of the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C., was off-duty when he was robbed at gunpoint. Upon discovering the victim was a police officer, the robbers shot and killed him.
The full memo is here: http://www.grandlodgefop.org/legisla...r218/slain.pdf
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands - love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper - his hands remember the rifle.

OK..I hate this discussion because it turns too heated. Anyway, while not involving guns, let me give you two personal experiences. While I did not interview the criminals during the crimes, I can only surmise I was considerd the biggest threat to there plan. While not big, I am
6'1" and 250 lbs.
1) Bank robbery- I am in the furthest corner from the entrance at Assistant Manager Desk. Three men with guns and masks run in securing entire branch. Two of them place their guns to my head. After everyone was placed on the ground, one of them still kept his gun to my head. This was not a routine robbery as they strong armed the branch and forced all into vault in rear. At no time was a gun removed from my head. No one else had this done to them. I had no weapon at this time. Compliance worked and no one was injured.
2) Mugging attempt - while on vacation and in a small group, we had an attempted mugging on us. In this case we were run at, and two of them knocked me to the ground while the others were mugged. Fortunately there was such a commotion and confusion, they BG's ran away with nothing and I was uninjured.
What does all this say? Criminals WILL deal with the obvious threat first. I do not think we need newstories or statistics to verify this simple human trait.
OC comes down to speed of draw being best, and some feeling that the view of the weapon is a deterrent to BG's. All of this must be wayed against the obvious and oft mentioned harassment. My wife is in LE, and if there is open carry in this area, the police will get called without a doubt. She has the call reports to back this up.
To avoid arguing, I will not go over CC!
As stated in the forum header and by the moderatorsSo that is not even an issueThis is not a place to debate the virtues of open vs concealed carry.
While your stories are interesting they do not really address the question. I do think as in OPFOR's last post it does point out that the BG may very well deal with anyone he perceives as a threat. Something that all of us whether we carry concealed, open carry or do not carry at all should be aware of. As you pointed out you do not need to be packing to get a gun stuck in your face or get shot for that matter.
As far as the potential for harassment and that is the appropriate term. I personally know that it happens but have found that varies from one jurisdiction to the next. In my area most departments do not tolerate abuse under color of law and most of the Officers are pretty stand up. Respectful of citizens and the law even if they do not necessarily agree with it. IMO those officers that do harass citizens need to be taught to respect the law and that it is not OK to abuse their authority but that is a whole different topic than the one being discussed here. Though it is something anyone that OC's should consider. While the questions I brought up do not seem to be something that need be a major concern. As there appears to be little evidence that either actually happens. Which is not to say it cant.

I am going to add my 2 dinars here. I think the reason we don't have more BG targeting OCers is because OCers are still a small minority and they are pretty mobile.
Other than gunshops, it is rare to see a store where the owners & employees OC. A BG may decide that the risk of hitting a particular OC business is acceptable if the payoff is great. If that condition is satisfied, I am sure that the BG will come in and take out the OCers same way they take out Armored Trucks guards doing their money deliveries or pick ups.
As with everything, you take the responsibility of OCing also knowing the potential risks you may face.
You have to make the shot when fire is smoking, people are screaming, dogs are barking, kids are crying and sirens are coming.
Randy Cain.
Ego will kill you. Leave it at home.
Signed: Me!
AS LongRider said, this forum is not for members to tell what they don't like about OC, obviously. It would be better placed in the concealed forum regarding why you do prefer concealed....
Coimhéad fearg fhear na foighde; Beware the anger of a patient man.
In situation 1 is it possible the officer was taken out first because he was known? Plus wasn't he the obstacle that had to be removed for entry to the main target area?
In situation 2 is it possible the officer was taken out first, because he was the first to react? If someone else had made a grab for the shooter wouldn't he have been shot first?
It's pretty hard to lay any course of action to one specific reason, without knowing every variable.
Again, I realize my example doesn't quite fit the criteria LongRider was asking about since this exampled involved LEOs.
Could anyone please provide any documentation or evidence of someone being targeted by BG, because they were CC'ing and therefore did not present a visible sign being armed?
The corollary to what Ronald Reagan said "Peace through Strength" is "Weakness (or the appearance of weakness) invites attack."
My point is that asking for evidence of OC'ing leading to an attack, ignores the non-measurable issue of OC'ing deterring an attack in the first place, and CC'ing not deterring at all.
That having been said, although I live in Virginia I am not quite comfortable OC'ing as it is still relatively uncommon. Hoping more of you start OC'ing in VA. There is safety in numbers, and I like to follow rather than lead. :)
On a related note:
OC being legal protects the CC'er from charges if the gun is accidentally flashed.
CC being legal protects the OC'er from charges if the gun is accidentally covered.
CC and OC are two sides of the same coin (right). Without either one, the right to bear arms is significantly diminished.
Some have provided verifiable evidence that LEO have been targeted. Which may show that it might happen to a civilian or it may have been more because of the fact that they were LEO and nothing to do with their OC'ing. There is not real way of knowing though I tend to think it was because they were LEO or again we would have more evidence of it happening to civilian. Others have presented unrelated stories that have no connection to the question but on a whole the responses have been insightful and helpful to me and hopefully others in assessing the risks OC'ing.
While your comment that OC'ing may act as a deterrent is valid if unrelated to this topic. Maybe worthy of its own thread. Unlike this topic it is one that I think we will be unable to prove one way or the other. Because it is practically impossible to prove a negative. Unless someone does a study of known felons who have not committed a crime because they saw someone OC. Even than that study by definition would be tainted as it would have to rely on the word of known convicted liars and thieves. Still might be an interesting thread

The Hawaiian Islands attract some of the most skillful divers in the world. With dynamic underwater seascapes, scuba divers and snorkelers will find themselves in a haven of reefs writhing with brightly colored fishes. One thing that makes Hawaii such a unique place to dive is that 20% of Hawaiian reef fish cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
One interesting factor to note is that most fish in Hawaii are referred to by their Hawaiian (and in some cases, Japanese) names. Depending on the kind of fish, some may also have different names to describe a young adolescent fish and a different one when it reaches full maturation. For example, a young goat fish is called o'ama until it is mature when it is called weke. In several instances, the Hawaiian name for some fish have become more commonly used terms throughout the world. This is evident in examples when the name mahimahi is used for dolphin (i.e., the fish, not the marine mammal) and ahi for yellowfin and bigeye tunas.
Hawaii's reefs support a wide range of fishes. Some live exclusively on the reef while others live in deeper waters but regularly prowl the reefs for prey. Some fishes are considered to be excellent gamefish, some make excellent meals while others, because of their unusual or vibrant colors, are prized as tropical fish to be displayed aquariums. Some can even be extremely dangerous in variety of ways. Here are a few examples of the types of fishes that can be found in Hawaii's reefs:
Triggerfish: The colorful looking and equally colorfully named humuhumunukunukuapua'a or Hawaiian triggerfish is the Aloha State's official fish. Some of the triggerfish found on Hawaii's reefs are the: humuhumu le le or black triggerfish, humuhumu mimi or bridled triggerfish, humuhumu lei or lei triggerfish and humuhumu hiu lole or pinktail triggerfish.
Scad: In Hawaii, when a bigeye scad is young, it is called a halalu and when it is mature, akule. Another popular type of scad in Hawaii is the opelu or mackerel scad. Both the akule and opelu are popular comfort food dishes among local Hawaii residents, typically eating them fried with soy sauce along with a bowl of steamed white rice.
Snapper: The wide variety of snappers that live on Hawaii's corals reefs includes the: prolific ta'ape or bluestripe snapper, uku or grey snapper , ehu or squirrelfish snapper, to'au or blacktail snapper, wahanui or forktail snapper and kalekale or Von Siebold's snapper to name a few. Many of these fishes are relatively good to eat and can be found in many local fish markets.
Jack and Trevally: Without question, the most notable type of jacks in Hawaii is the ulua or trevally. When uluas are typically less than 10 to 12 pounds they are called papio. These majestic and powerful predatory fish hunt prey on the reef and are prized for their gamefish abilities as well as for their taste, particularly when they are not very large (i.e., when they are papios). Some of the uluas found in Hawaii include the white ulua or giant trevally, omilu or bluefin trevally and ulua pa'opa'o or yellow trevally. Other type of jacks to be found on Hawaii's reefs are the kahala or amberjack, which is prone to being infected with the poisonous ciguatera toxin, and the lai or leatherback, whose tough shiny skin is often used in lure making.
Shark: The Hawaiian coral reefs offer an abundant feeding ground for several shark species; among them are the: blacktip reef shark (mano pa'ele), cookiecutter shark, sandbar shark (mano), scalloped hammerhead (mano kihikihi), tiger shark (niuhi) and whitetip reef shark mano lala kea. While it is not very common, there are sometimes reports of sharks attacking swimmers and surfers in Hawaii.
Eel: The two most commonly found eels in Hawaii are the moray and conger eels. A moral eel is called puhi in Hawaiian. Typically, moray eels are not very aggressive by nature but can prove dangerous to divers when provoked. On the other hand, conger eels have no real teeth to speak of and are often called tohei or white eels by local fishermen who like to use their meat as bait.
Scorpionfish: Hawaii has 25 of world's 350 known species of nohu or scorpionfish around the world. Some nohu, like the nohu pinao or Hawaiian lionfish, is highly visible with its colorful and long flowing fins; but its spines are extremely toxic. While, on the other hand, the nohu omakaha or devil scorpionfish is also a master of disguise and often mistaken for a rock. When someone unknowingly steps on a nohu omakaha in shallow water and gets stung by its spines, it will cause intense throbbing and sharp pain. If you see nohus in the water or while walking on the reefs, you should definitely stay away from them.
Parrotfish: The uhu or bullethead parrotfish might be one of the most colorful larger coral reef fishes to be found in Hawaii. Parrotfish are aptly named because they have powerful teeth that look like a parrot's beak which they use to eat algae and polyps off of the reef. They are also popular to eat either steamed or baked and you may see many restaurants in Hawaii serving uhu on their menu. Other type of uhus includes the palenose parrotfish and the uhu palukaluka or redlip parrotfish.
Squirrelfish: The ala'ihi or Hawaiian squirrelfish is more commonly referred in the Aloha State by its Japanese name, mempachi. As nocturnal feeders, one of the most notable features of the mempachi is its big eyes that can absorb light from the moon and stars to help it see at night. Another notable characteristic of the mempachi is that it makes grunting sounds by grinding its teeth and stretching its gas bladder muscles to scare away predators, which some say sounds like the chatter of squirrels. So if you near squirrels' grunts while diving in Hawaii, you are probably hearing the mempachi valiantly trying to scare you away.
To witness some of these glorious reef fishes in their natural habitat, visit one of the many coral reefs in Hawaii. When you travel to the Aloha State, take an afternoon and go free-diving, scuba diving, snuba diving or snorkeling in the waters right outside of one of Hawaii's many beautiful shores, beaches and bays.

What on earth is Wholesale Snap Jewelry?
Январь 2016
Everybody knows that jewelry pieces like necklaces, watches, bracelets, rings, and earrings, might be followed by the clothing were wearing to generate a fashion statement. Folks have boxes full of jewelry pieces for them to accessorize their ensembles when they get dresses. Wholesale snap jewelry permits people to possess one jewelry item that could be changed then it goes well with several unique clothing styles, or colors.
Wholesale snap jewelry can be a specialized type of jewelry which has buttons onto it that make the definitive decorations about the item of knickknack. Why are wholesale snap jewelry so different? Those buttons that creates the decoration for the section of jewelry can be "snapped" unnatural, and after that another button may be "snapped" into place, thereby changing the whole look, or style of the jewellery piece.

Your diamonds, emeralds, and pearls is still essential for those special evenings, nevertheless for your jewelry needs this revolutionary form of necklaces, rings, bracelets, and watches, enables you to build the pieces you'll need without having to buy a lot of different jewelry items.

You will need less space to cart your posts of knickknack on your own trip, and you'll not are able to your destination and locate you have forgotten your accessories who go with just one ensemble.

Royalty-Free Kits for Drug Production Unveiled at "ESACT"
At the recent "ESACT" conference in Vienna, Life Technologies and ProBioGen introduced Gibco® Freedom™ Cell Line Development Kits, a new line of royalty-free products that are designed to integrate cells, reagents, culture media, and protocols. Company officials say the goal is to bring simplicity and flexibility to the earliest stages of biological drug production.
"The new kits, CHO-S™ and DG44, can reduce the time from transfection to stable cell-line production from six to four months, making use of a single, optimized, animal-free culture medium throughout the entire development process," noted Mark Stevenson, president and COO of Life Technologies.
The CHO-S kit resulted from a collaboration with ProBioGen while the DG44 kit was developed by Life Technologies. A Life Technologies spokesperson claimed the new kits will help companies grow more quickly because they will not have to put aside additional funds to pay royalties fees for the products. In addition to freedom from royalties, current commercial use licensing terms covering Freedom kits include, among other applications, the freedom to engage any contract manufacturer and the freedom to use a host cell line for multiple projects.

Specific schools[edit]
South Douglas Elementary School[edit]
The school is located in a community named Fairplay.[4] The principal is Mr. Duffey and the school has a total of 538 students in grades Pre-K through 5th. The new South Douglas building was built in 1992. This was the first school in Douglas County to start an after-school program and the first to use the Reading First Program.
The colors for the school are red and white and the mascot is the Bear Cub.[5]
Douglas County High School[edit]
This was the first high school to open in Douglas County, built in the early 1880s. Most of the school was rebuilt due to a fire in the early 1990s, reopening in 1992. It has over 2000 students and offers over 40 clubs, extracurricular activities, and sports. The school offers the International Baccalaureate Program and a graphic arts program.[citation needed]
The school's teams are the Douglas County Tigers, which compete in the Georgia High School Association AAAA classification. The school fields teams in baseball, basketball, cheerleading, cross country, fast-pitch softball, football, golf, soccer, swimming, tennis, track and field, volleyball, and wrestling.
The school's colors are navy blue and gold.
Alexander High School[edit]
Built to relieve overpopulation between Douglas County High School and Lithia Springs High School, Alexander High School opened for the 1986-1987 school year. The school's namesake, Robert S. Alexander, was an employee of the Douglas County School System.
Alexander High School teams are known as the Alexander Cougars and compete in the Georgia High School Association AAAA classification. The school fields teams in baseball, basketball, cheerleading, cross country, fast-pitch softball, football, golf, soccer, swimming, tennis, track and field, volleyball, and wrestling.
The school's colors are red and black.[citation needed]
Chapel Hill Middle School[edit]
|This section is empty. You can help by adding to it. (November 2011)
Lithia Springs High School[edit]
Lithia Springs High School is a public high school located on East County Line Road, in Lithia Springs. It is also known as Lithia Springs Comprehensive High School. It was the second high school to open in the Douglas County School District. Until December 2nd, 1975, the county had only one high school, Douglas County High School, which had opened in the late 1930s. By 1974 the secondary school population had grown to over 3,000 students, far too many for the existing buildings of DCHS to accommodate in a regular school day. Beginning in August 1974, the county had to resort to double sessions. This meant that those students designated to attend Lithia Springs HS would attend the afternoon session, starting at about 11:00 and going until about 5:30. Construction and weather problems delayed the grand opening of LSHS until December, 1975.[citation needed]

Board discusses technology equity
USD 383 principals and the school board discussed themes of equity and progress during site council reports Wednesday.
Wednesday's reports were the second and final site council reports of the year, the first having been received in November. The reports give principals the opportunity to share their school's accomplishments and needs with the school board.
Manhattan High principal Terry McCarty thanked the current and past boards, administration and school officials for their contributions to his time as principal. He is leaving at the end of the school year.
"I will finish my last couple of months being the best I possibly can be for the school," he said. "I'm very, very grateful for what I've learned while I've been here. It will always be a special place."
McCarty said he plans to take what he's learned to an administrative role at another district. "I'm very much at peace with what I'm doing," he said.
While McCarty used his final site council report to say goodbye, Woodrow Wilson Elementary principal Deb Nauerth used her first report to say hello.
Nauerth said she appreciates the family aspect of Woodrow Wilson. "It was this way long before me," she said. "It truly does feel like a family."
Looking out for her school, Nauerth mentioned technology as an area where she'd like to see more equality.
Nauerth expressed concern that Woodrow Wilson teachers received laptops for the first time this year, making them the last in the district to have them.
She said it's important to make learning equitable around the district with technology and programs being implemented at all schools rather than on a school-by-school cycle.
The elementary principals also advocated more collaboration time for teachers, a topic that is currently being considered by the school board.
Board president Dave Colburn mentioned that some parents told him concerns about the number of early release days that would be added and what that would mean for child care.
A plan being considered by the board has eight early release days for teacher collaboration, up from the current five days.
Bluemont Elementary principal Kathy Stitt said parents can plan for it with the days being put on the calendar in advance to the school year.
Ogden Elementary principal Jim Armendariz said the benefits of collaboration outweigh the additional days of early release. "If we didn't have options for kids after school, I would be concerned that we had so many early releases," he said.
Board member Beth Tatarko said some schools have stronger programs than others due to grants, which she doesn't want the district to rely on.
"If we want strong programs after school, we're going to have to make sure they're provided and we have to make sure we pay for it," she said.
Bluemont's 21st Century Community Learning Centers grant from the Department of Education began Feb. 18 to enhance the after-school opportunities for students. "We just started, but I'm really excited about the potential and what we can do," Stitt said.
The principals brought up the common core standards being adopted and the No Child Left Behind waiver by the state that changed the measurements for state assessments.
Adequate yearly progress — the measurement of students meeting the assessments standards — stopped being a part of the assessment process this year. It was due to increase to 100 percent of students being proficient by 2014.
Colburn said the difficulty with AYP comes when a larger school has more subgroups that are considered due to having more students who fall under an economic, minority or disabled category.
"Your school can be doing phenomenally and have standards of excellence top to bottom, but not make AYP," he said.
Anthony Middle School fell into this category in 2012. The school reached standards of excellence in reading and math for 7th grade, 8th grade and building-wide. However, it didn't make AYP in reading for students with disabilities, math for students with disabilities and math for students with free and reduced lunch status.
Anthony principal Vickie Kline said she was pleased to see the process go away. "We've been working with that (special education) subgroup and looking individually at those kids and the fact that they did make gains from where they were at but it wasn't enough to make the bar for AYP," she said.
Kline said the school has been working to improve in those areas since receiving the preliminary assessment data in May.
Despite the stated downsides, Eisenhower Middle principal Greg Hoyt said AYP caused schools to take a deeper look on individual students. He also said the waiver allows for better opportunities to measure a school's success.
"It does provide a more realistic opportunity for schools to gauge how it's making progress," Hoyt said.


text: Town officials in Central Maine have yet to tally the votes, but the consensus is that voter turnout has been heavy there.On Tuesday our Central Maine crew trekked across the area to four communities: Fairfield, Skowhegan, Waterville, and Unity.Both Fairfield and Skowhegan had lines forming before the doors opened in the morning, while traffic in Waterville and Unity was steady much of the day.Unity College students made their mark by marching to the polls. "If they cut back taxes for cars probably I'll have higher college payments to support those taxes," Said Marsha Barnes, a Freshman attending Unity College. "For the next four years this is going to affect me and if I decide to live in Maine after college it's going to affect me even more so I feel I should have the right to vote and I'm going to."Every year, college faculty and staff encourage students to make the walk from campus to the polls to cast their ballots.This year, staff says turnout was actually a bit lower than expected.

Driving at night may offer quieter roads, but reduced vision and tiredness can make the journey a dangerous one. Follow our night-time driving advice to stay alert and safe on the road.
Almost half of all fatal car accidents occur at night, despite far fewer vehicles being on the road. With around 90% of a driver's reaction time relying on vision, the reduced visibility at night is one of the main reasons that driving after dark is so dangerous. Encountering other vehicles that have their headlights on full-beam and seeing lights within your own car can be distracting and will reduce the effectiveness of your eyes. Add to this fatigue from driving when you would normally be asleep, and it's easy to see why night time driving is dangerous for motorists who are not prepared for it.
Keeping your windows clean inside and out and checking that your lights are clean will help you see other vehicles, and ensure that they can see you. A window that looks clear during the day can appear streaky at night, and will make it much harder to see the road.
If you are not sure whether it is dark enough to turn on your headlights, do so anyway because they help other drivers see you. Check that your lights are appropriately aimed, so that they will not blind other drivers, but still cover enough ground in front of you to see where you are going. Turn off full-beam headlights as soon as another vehicle is in front of you. If an oncoming vehicle is using full beam headlights and you can't see clearly, look for the road lines on your left and follow them until you can look straight ahead again.
Some dashboard lights are bright and the glare will reduce the perceptiveness of your eyes to events outside the car. Turn down the brightness of the dashboard display and ensure that map lights or smartphone screens are not distracting for you.
Leave more space between your car and the one in front than you would during daylight hours, and reduce your speed. This will compensate for your difficulty judging other vehicle's speeds and the delayed reaction time that poor visibility brings.
Include time for breaks when you plan your journey so that you stay focused while driving. The Highway Code recommends a rest of at least 15 minutes for every two hours on the road. If you feel sleepy you should stop where it is safe to do so to have a nap followed by a caffeinated drink, if possible. The longer duration of your journey will be worth it to stay safe and alert.
Our refreshingly straightforward car insurance is Defaqto 5 Star rated, so you can be sure you're getting a great product. Plus you can choose from a great range of optional extras.Get a car insurance quote
