MILWAUKEE - Milwaukee Bucks centre Larry Sanders will miss approximately six weeks after having surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb sustained in a fight at a nightclub.
The Bucks said Monday that the surgery was performed by Dr. Curt Crimmins, a hand specialist, at the Orthopaedic Hospital of Wisconsin.
Sanders was involved in the altercation on Nov. 3 and hasn't played since. No charges were filed.
It was Canada's night at the NBA Draft as four players from north of the border were selected.

This may sounds bizarre, but I always love Mondays. It's the start of a new week, a new diet, a new goal, a new plan. I always feel so motivated on Mondays. For me, Sundays are the worst. I get so lazy and eat my feelings. Every damn Sunday. It's weird, I should try to fix that.
Today, I started my goal of doing a 5 minute meditation every day for 10 days. I downloaded an app for my phone called, "Simply Being". You can decide your background music/sound and time (5, 10, or more minutes) for a guided mindful meditation. Easy. I really enjoyed it in the comfort of my pajamas. A wonderful way to start the morning. It's amazing that I can wake up with that many thoughts floating around in my head. It didn't help that I had nightmares about the Criminal Minds episode I watched recently. Kidnapping and murdering. Every show. CREEEPY and I always get nightmares after watching it. And I am 31 years old.
Another great thing about today besides day 1 of meditation complete? 1 word: Deadlifts. I am constantly trying to improve them. And lift loads. But it doesn't always work out that way… but today was good. I didn't pull from the ground, I pulled from 2 risers and it made a huge difference. I did 185lbs for 4. Goal is 225. I can do it. I just need to be more consistent. As I said on Instagram (@fitkatieb), I look like I have to poop. In my head, I looked wayyy more awesome.
It was a sunny, but freezing cold day. I needed tea and a healthy meal. So I walked to David's tea and got a birthday cake tea and came home and made spaghetti squash with ground chicken in tomato sauce. Um, ground chicken is weird. I can't decide if I like it or not. I don't think I do, but now I have enough for two more meals so I have to like it for a couple days at least. I think tomorrow I will cover it with avocado.. that should do the trick. Funny story-when I was in Haiti, I went to a restaurant and they asked me how I would like my chicken cooked. Once, I swallowed the puke in my mouth that came up, I requested "well-done". I ate it and I didn't die so that's good.
I take horrible food pictures. But that's Paleo ground chicken and spaghetti squash and green beans. I put a small amount of nutritional yeast on top for that fake cheesy flavour. Yum.
Oh, here's another horrible (but let's say cute!) picture:
Ok? Ok bye.

Ryan was tremendous!! We came during your tent sale to buy a stove. He answered our MANY questions with a smile, and even went to check to see if there were any other stoves comparable to the one we picked because I expressed concern about a dent and water fromt he raid building up on one of the burners. You did not have another stove, so Ryan said he would have the one we bought tested the day before delivery, and even got rid of most of the dent in the side as well!! You don't see customer service like this anymore. We will be back, specifically asking for Ryan. Great selection, great prices, too!!

The 2011 SEMA Auto Show isn't all about fancy new performance set-ups for the much sexier sports cars; it also welcomes aftermarket programs done on some hulking machines like the Ford F-150 .
Take for example the work done by Skyjacker Suspensions on the 2011 F-150 EcoBoost. For a pick-up that already packs plenty of the qualities of a powerful road-going beast, the people from Skyjacker Suspensions managed to improve the abilities of the class-leading pick-up even more.
The title of their project is called "Project No Compromise" and as the name suggests, they certainly left nothing to chance with their F-150 program. Featuring a 4" suspension lift to go with monotube shocks and larger off-road tires, Skyjacker Suspensions was able to make what is already a promising handling set-up for the F-150 into something that would make even the Ford engineers blush.
On top of that, the tuning company also added fender flares, a new stainless steel grille guard, a 30" LED bar, and a new dual exhaust system to add some serious bite to a pick-up that boasts of a 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine that produces 365 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque.
The final engine figures have yet to be announced, but expect it to be significantly better than the standard model, all thanks to the people over at Skyjacker Suspensions.

PLAYERS: Byron Mullens, LaMarcus Aldridge
TEAMS: Charlotte Hornets, Portland Trail Blazers
TEAMS: Charlotte Hornets, Portland Trail Blazers
The Charlotte Bobcats have not had much to celebrate in their nine-year existence. They have posted only one winning season and gave their fans (what few of them there are) reason to get excited earlier this season when the 'Cats won six of eight. Since then, somebody must have reminded them that they are the Bobcats, because they have lost four straight. With that in mind, we can't blame the referees for seeing a clear charge on Bobcats center Byron Mullens and letting it go. Sure, Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge pretty obviously had established position outside the restricted area when Mullens came barreling down the lane, but every once in a while even the Bobcats deserve a chance to be happy. The result was a ferocious dunk that probably should not have counted. Anyway, Portland went on to win the game in overtime and the Bobcats got their highlight, so everybody went home happy. Check out Mullens' slam in the video below.

An ancient Coptic papyrus whose scribe quotes Jesus referring to "my wife" is the first clear recorded statement of a claim that he was married, the Harvard scholar who unveiled the 1,700-year-old fragment said on Wednesday.
But Karen King, Professor at Harvard Divinity School, said the landmark discovery of the fragment still provided no definitive historical answer to the question of whether Jesus had a spouse.
"This is no silver bullet regarding that question," King told Reuters in an interview in Rome, where she presented her findings.
The fragment, which measures 8 cm by 4 cm (3.1 by 1.6 inches) includes words in ancient Coptic in which a scribe writes: "Jesus said to them, my wife …".

Where I Work: Grace Lin, author of Starry River of the Sky
I do have a studio space where I have written and illustrated most of my books. It's gone through a couple of reiterations (from www.gracelin.com/content.php?page=studio to www.gracelinblog.com/2010/10/revision.html).
But this first photo is where I wrote and illustrated my last two novels, Dumpling Days and Starry River of the Sky. You can see it is a rather cluttered corner, with notes, books, and beverages!
However, nowadays, with the arrival of my new baby, the studio has been mostly abandoned. It is almost completely a storage room of baby paraphernalia and I find that I am working in the living room where the baby plays! Now the clutter around me is baby toys and the baby, herself. It's good for inspiration, at least.

By STEPHANIE BEECKEN6 News Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) - Saturday marks five years since a deadly shooting at a Knoxville church.
Greg McKendry and Linda Kraeger were killed. Six others were wounded. In 2009 Jim Adkisson, pleaded guilty to opening fire at Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church. He is serving life in prison. Five years later church members are still healing.
Marty Murphy has been going to the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church since the 1970s. She became a member in 1999 and was in attendance five years ago when the gunman opened fire. She says the shooting changed her life but time has helped eased the pain.
"The last five years every day brings it further and further away but each new shooting brings it back for the day," said Murphy.
Murphy says she still vividly remembers the shooting even though five years have passed.
"You could see the spray of the gun and the smoke but I can still see that clear as day for sure," said Murphy.
Saturday at the church there was time for members to come in, pray and reflect on what happened five years ago. Reverend Jenny Arthur was the administrator of the church at the time of the shooting. She says slowly but surely the church family is healing and looking to the future.
"This year as we offer small groups we are hearing stories of people recognizing their increased empathy for others who are victims of violence, a greater gratitude for life in general and a great compassion for people," said Reverend Jenny Arthur.
But it wasn't only church members impacted by the act of violence, the community as a whole felt the effects as well. Cammy Glover lives just down the road from the church she says the tragedy will never be forgotten.
"Our hearts go out to those families and I don't think you can ever not go by that church and remember that tragedy," said Glover.
"The reality is we have today. Yesterday is gone and the only thing we have is the present so you might as well try and do as good as you can and be as good as you can and smile," said Murphy.
During the Sunday service Reverend Arthur says there will be a prayer of reflection for those impacted by the shooting.

2-car crash kills 1, injures 1December 03,2012HIGHGATE Vermont State Police say a two-car crash in Highgate has left one woman dead and another with serious injuries.
The collision happened Saturday evening on Route 207 near the intersection of Cook Road. Roads were wet at the time.
State police said 35-year-old Marissa Knight of St. Albans died at the scene. The driver of the other car, 23-year-old Nicole Greene of Highgate, was taken to a hospital with serious injuries, including possible head trauma and multiple broken bones.
State police say an initial investigation shows that Greene had been traveling south in the northbound lane at the time of impact, but its not clear why. Its unknown if drugs or alcohol were a factor.
Route 207 was closed for several hours while police investigated the accident.MORE IN This Just InFree lecture about Full StoryMIDDLEBURY — Operators of a holistic health center are planning a grand opening from 4 p.m. Full StoryCastleton State College present a production of the drama "Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad...

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY -- "Israel can live with nuclear Iran" is the topic of the inaugural Distinguished Lecturer Series debate to be held at Riverside Theatre on April 15.
The debate will feature four expert debaters, two for and two against, each representing their competing perspectives, assumptions and logic.
Attendees will register their "pre-debate" vote upon arrival, and then will again cast their vote after hearing both sides of the argument. A reception will be held at 5 p.m., with the debate running from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m.
"We envision that the DLS Debates will be a blend of the Oxford Union and robust English style debating, covering some of the more serious and difficult issues facing our leadership and our nation," explained Don Laurie, a committee member of Riverside Theatre's Distinguished Lecturer Series and one of the coordinators of the debate.
An impressive panel of debaters is lined up, promising to make the evening lively and intellectually provocative.
The two debaters arguing FOR the motion are Dr. Roxane Farmanfarmaian, an Iranian whose family ruled Iran for hundreds of years prior to Shah Reza Pahlavi. She is an Affiliated Lecturer in International Relations of the Middle East and North Africa, University of Cambridge; and Dr. Paul Pillar, whose 28-year career in the U.S. Intelligence community included being chief of analytic units at the C.I.A. covering portions of the Near East, the Persian Gulf, and South Asia, as well as serving as National Intelligence Officer for the Near East and South Asia.
The two arguing AGAINST are Bret Stephens, a former editor-in-chief of The Jerusalem Post who is currently the foreign affairs columnist for the Wall Street Journal and deputy editorial page editor responsible for the editorial pages of the Journal's European and Asian editions; and Reuel Marc Gerecht, an American diplomat who serves as senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, focusing primarily on Middle East diplomacy, Islamic militancy, counterterrorism and intelligence.
John Gordon, co-founder of the highly acclaimed "Intelligence Squared" debate forum based in the United Kingdom, will be the moderator for the debate.
Tickets are $40 for adults and $12 for students.
The debate will be held on the Stark Mainstage at Riverside Theatre, located at 3001 Riverside Park Drive in Vero Beach. More information about the debaters may be found online at www.RiversideLecturerSeries.com/debates, and tickets may be purchased through the Riverside Theatre box office at (772)231-6990.

The last dataset, which is not pictured because my camera ran out of batteries and my charger was at home represents all of the nuclear detonations in the world.
0 notes
So, let's take fields in which it is pretty hard to find a woman, and then let's intersect that with a field with even fewer women.
You know, as a lady programmer, I know what the score is. There just aren't that many ladies out there in tech (and especially not within fields like engineering or programming). Once I was introduced to a potential client as one of my design firms' programmers, to which the client replied, "You don't look like a programmer." But then again, you know, you don't really hear a lot about ladies doing much of anything besides being in movies and being popstars (I mean, every now and then I guess a lady doctor saves somebody or Hilary Clinton does something/anything).
So let's do a little thought experiment: let's take this notion of being a trailblazer and inspect it within the domain of technology-driven innovation. Let's distinguish qualities and characteristics of the trailblazer into categories like entrepreneurship, media presence, and technical skill (in this case, primarily software engineering). Is it really all that surprising that there are only 8 women on that list? (One of whom appears as part of a pair for a lifetime achievement. One of whom IS LADY GAGA.)
There have been some (e.g. here and here) mostly well-reasoned and articulated replies since the list, but I'd like to point out something that seems to be overlooked or glossed over. This is not a coincidence that we're seeing a percentage even more embarrassingly low than usual re: the gender gap while looking at a list about technological (and really, computer/internet-based) innovation.
My roommate (a dude) is also a programmer, and we sometimes talk about my gripe with the extreme gender gap in programming. He's a totally great dude, but he is also a straight white dude who has had the privilege of being in a field where that is not just the norm (because society does that), but that it is pretty much all you can see as far as the sky stretches across the digital valley. We often get stuck at the point where he asks me why it matters, why there ought to be an equal (or even slightly less unequal) distribution across the field. And to some extent he's right, maybe. Maybe it doesn't actually matter; I'm a woman, I have the success I want in the field I want to be in, maybe other women just aren't interested.
But why? Why aren't they that interested? Is there really a biological imperative that runs so deep and strong that women can get themselves interesting in fields where they can create new technologies, where physical strength — often cited as why women can't excel in some professions — will never hold them back, and where the strength of your work, at the end of the day in programming, will stand on its own regardless of what anybody else says? I wonder — back in the days of the race gap in literacy (well, at least when it was significantly more severe), did conservative white people defend the gap as just a matter of differing interest levels? Maybe people of color simply don't care to read, so why should we make them?
See when you get there, you're stuck. The only place you can go if you wish to maintain that the gender gap is not something that is due to bullshit sexism, and rather, something that is how the cards played out with respect to a distribution of capabilities is to say that women just don't have the stuff to be as good. That of course any system has outliers, but on the whole, you know: there's a reason why there aren't that many women carpenters out there. See what you are committed to, when you say that women just aren't naturally inclined to be interested in programming, is that at the heart of it, there is a biological difference between men and women that extends to their analytical capabilities. You're saying that there are other physical differences between men and women, and maybe the brain is, at the end of the day, a physical organ, controlled by hormones even, and so maybe, maybe this is why things happened as they do. It's nobody's fault, this inequality, and maybe it's not a big deal either.
And maybe you're not a woman, you're not a programmer. So you don't know that that is preposterous and complete bullshit. You don't realize that there is nothing special about the way a programmer's brain works, that in a way we all move through life constructing algorithmic shortcut behaviors, and that this is all that a programmer does with code.
And beyond not realizing those things, you don't feel the sting of the gap. I am very lucky to work with some great dudes. Seriously, they have all been absolutely cool and fabulous about making me feel like my voice is heard, like I can ask dumb questions without being judged for anything but the stupidity of the question, and like I can crack as many poop and Star Wars jokes as I want to. Most dudes I talk to in the field are actually, once I start talking shop and they realize I'm part of the in-group, pretty awesome.
But it stings just knowing the gap is there. It stings knowing that I am very lucky, it stings feeling like maybe I really am just some freak of an outlier, but mostly, it stings not having very many ladies to swap stories with. The gap is so severe that I can count the number of women I know who I can talk some shop with on one hand. One finger.
This has to stop. And not just because I'm a little lonely and would like for my company to have a reason to call the dude in to fix the tampon machine in the bathroom at work, and not just because equality is important and we need to be empowered with the tools that are being used to make the future: ladies, writing code is fun. It's so much super fun. Whatever that's making you say "I would love to learn, but my brain just doesn't work that way" is basically like your mom who wouldn't let you stay up late to watch Twin Peaks on tv. You're missing out! Don't! The solution to the gender gap in technology is not to just start talking about it a lot and create awareness programs; WE ARE AWARE OF THE GAP BUT WE HAVE BECOME COMPLACENT TO IT. Don't be complacent. If you're reading this now, you have a machine and access to a network that will allow you to begin doing something about that gender gap right now. Let's get to work, ladies.

The Linux Kernel Challenge
I was meaning to write about switches vs. function pointers this week but got sidetracked by a friend challenging me to run an Arqua analysis on the Linux kernel. After cloning the kernel git and building an "unconfigured" kernel for arm with the appropriate Makefile patches I was struck by a storm of bugs in Arqua. After days of fixing my own unpleasantly unstructured code and adding new visualisation elements to Arqua, I managed to produce the following image of the recently tagged v3.5-rc4:
Moving in even further we get this:
Now, I am extremely naive when it comes to the Linux kernel, so this is strictly an objective analysis of the structure only. The result also assumes that the directory structure is a reflection of the architecture. This is of course not necessarily true, but the way Arqua operates (and in my personal opinion a sound way to structure source code).

"Yes, I've forgiven them, because I've been forgiven many times," he said. "My country's been good to me … This country is my house, it's the only home I know, so I have to be able to forgive — for the future, for the younger generation coming behind me, so … they can understand it and if a situation like that happened again, they could deal with it a lot easier." - Rodney King
I was five years old and living near downtown Los Angeles when Rodney King was beaten. I remember seeing that video play over and over and over again. I remember the riots. I remember the helicopter engines and searchlights keeping me awake at night. I remember not understanding why any of this was happening, why the people who were supposed to keep the peace were hurting this man, why they seemed to be at war with the people they should have been protecting. I was five years old and living in a very poor part of Los Angeles, so race was a thing that was happening all around me, and yet until Rodney King, race was not a thing I knew divided people in any significant way.
I don't think Rodney King wanted to be anybody's symbol for the fight for equality and justice, but he stepped up when the call to action came (because really, what choice does anybody have?). It has been twenty years since the beatings and the riots, and between Trayvon Martin and the Occupy raids, I think it's obvious that we still have a lot of work ahead of us.
We would all do well to remember what Rodney has taught us, not just about the justice we all deserve, but also the forgiveness we are capable of for those who have yet to join our fight. Forgiveness is an act of compassion that allows us to remember what has happened while moving forward towards change. It's remarkable to me that for all Rodney King has been through, he's able to practice and recognize the importance of forgiveness and empathy, that he can articulate that antagonizing and holding anger in our hearts towards the human manifestations of oppression only holds us back from being capable of seeing the future we are working to achieve.
Watching that video of Rodney King when I was five years old was heartbreakingly confusing, and I can only imagine what it must be like for the children of today to see the perpetuation of that violence. But we must forgive so that we can understand, so our future generations can understand, and so we can, indeed, deal with it a lot easier.
Rest in peace, Rodney King, and thank you for everything that you have taught me.

consider the error that watson, the jeopardy-playing supercomputer, makes at the end of its first round of otherwise flawless competition.
notice that it's not just that watson gets the final jeopardy question wrong, but how he gets it wrong that makes this particularly interesting—naming a canadian city when the answer was asking for an american one.
why that makes this example so interesting is that it reveals a fundamentally important part of how watson works—it's not that watson understands the questions presented before him, but rather that he understands how to find the answers in a systematic and algorithmic way. watson, and many other artificial intelligence systems like him, are designed to take a natural language expression of a certain grammatical structure (in this case, one presumes that watson is trained to understand the particularly unique structure of a jeopardy prompt, which incidentally, is actually presented as the answer which the player has to guess the question to) and parse this structure for its constituitive parts (e.g. generally basic syntactical roles like part of speech—noun, verb, adjective, and other more exciting things like semantic association—like synonyms, antonyms, related terms). to retrieve the relevant information related to the structure, the system then takes the parsed structure and then queries a similarly tagged data set to retrieve the most likely relevant terms—but this itself is not language comprehension, or understanding.
as a former linguist working primarily in the field of semantics, where one is really concerned with understanding what understanding a word or an expression means, this sort of thing was what i would point to to prove that computational linguistics would never yield a truly intelligent artificial being with just algorithms and syntactic parsing.
and yet it now occurs to me that what is most interesting about watson is how much he does get right without ever even having to understand what "blue" or "wine" really means to you or i. because while we have been long in pursuit of designing machines which act like us, trying to teach them to understand like we do (and asking ourselves what it really means when we understand something), perhaps another question can be raised: could we act like machines? could we understand as machines do and still make quite a lot of progress in our individual pursuits? are we not already just blindly navigating through the infinite streams of data, making significant process while never truly understanding?
alan turing, father of modern artificial intelligence, proposed in his 1950 paper "computing machinery and intelligence" that rather than ask "can machines think?" that we ask "can machines do what we as thinking entities do?" it's becoming increasingly clear that not only that they can, but that they can so much better than we "as thinking entities do" when it comes to many tasks.
perhaps, then, what watson's error reveals is not a new fact but a new question: can we as thinking entities do what machines as computing entities do? or rather, taking a cue from turing himself, can humans compute understanding/understand computing?

A Day in the Life of Casey Anthony
For accused killer and mom Casey Anthony, the party is over.
By all accounts Casey Anthony is a liar. She's consistently lied to detectives, to her parents and even quite possibly to herself about the whereabouts of her three-year-old daughter Caylee Marie. But, these days, Casey Anthony is easy to find. Currently she spends every day, every minute in the Orange County Jail in Florida awaiting trail for first-degree murder. For a woman with a reputation for being a so-called party girl, it would seem the party is over.
And Casey is not any typical jailhouse resident. She is housed under the category of "Protective Custody Level One" in the high-security section of the Female Detention Center. "Protective Custody Level One," Orange County Corrections Public Information Officer Allen Moore tells momlogic, "should not be confused with isolation or solitary confinement. [Those terms] refer to a cell and custody status used for behavioral and disciplinary purposes and would normally involve a small windowless cell."
Casey does have a window, of sorts -- her 12.5' x 7' cell has a floor-to-ceiling clear door made of Lexan, a clear polymer-like glass. She has zero privacy and never comes in contact with the other 652 inmates who also reside in the detention unit.
"Most high profile inmates -- either by case type or celebrity status -- are placed in protective custody" explains Moore. "It's for their own safety." Past inmates in Casey's jail have included Backstreet Boys creator and convicted embezzler Lou Pearlman and heartbroken astronaut Lisa Nowak.
So how does Casey spend her time? Her schedule is strict. She has one hour a day to take a shower, sit in the dayroom and make collect calls from the jail phone. She can access books from a library cart to take back to her cell to read.
According to Moore, jail officers say Casey is "an avid reader." Unfortunately, the exact titles of her library selections, which could include novels and textbooks, are not released to the public. Catching up on the classics might be Casey's only way to pass the time. Inmates in her category are not allowed to watch TV or use a computer. For the very social Casey, emailing and IMing her friends is a thing of the past.
But she does have visitors, almost exclusively from her attorney Jose Baez and other lawyers on his team. Moore explains, "Attorneys are allowed to visit anytime -- day or night." Her family however, has not stopped by. Casey, says Moore, "has restricted her video visits to family members only. She has had no video visitations scheduled during her present incarceration."
How does the incarcerated Casey stay healthy? She, like most women, has a workout schedule. Weather permitting. For one hour a day, Casey is allowed to get exercise outside in the jail yard. It's no 24-Hour Fitness either -- no weights or other equipment are provided, but she is allowed to use a basketball or volleyball.
And, of course, Casey dines three times a day. Delicious dishes served in the Orange County Jail vary from sausage patties for breakfast to scalloped ham and noodles for dinner. We're guessing that none of it would be confused with a four-star restaurant.
Here is Casey's complete menu for Wednesday November 12:
- Cornflakes
- Cheese
- Donut
- Enriched bread (2 slices)
- Margarine with vitamin A
- Sugar packet
- Milk with 1% with vitamin A & D
- Beef patty and gravy
- Sliced potatoes
- Northern beans
- Enriched bread (2 slices)
- Cake
- Beverage with vitamin C
- Chicken patty and gravy
- Rice
- Green beans
- Enriched bread (2 slices)
- Cake/Cookie
- Beverage with vitamin C
And for some this might be the hardest restriction to endure: If Casey craves an after-meal smoke, she's out of luck. Since 1993, there is no smoking in the Orange County Jail system.

Wow looks like a good menu to me provided by my taxes and all the while people around the world dying of hunger and on top of that, people who pity her are sending her money donations so she can get even more goodies. Ohh how I wish I can live in another planet because this one is so f**ked up.
I have seen this reported on the news as well. Not sure why people are so facinated by the way she is living in prison. She is being offered and given the same thing every other inmate gets its annoying how the media is portraying it as if she is getting special treatment. Im confused as to why people care so much as to how she is living in prison…its jail figure it out.
I'm not thinking she's getting special treatment different from other inmates. But when you see that menu, it kind of angers me when you hear inmates in general complain about the food in jail. For pete's sake, they aren't in a hotel, they are in JAIL! And for a reason I might add. We pay for them to be well fed and taken care of.
We should be looking for the little girl, not focusing on how she lives. I'm sure her attorney-boyfriend is teling her how many websites, news channels, etc. are reporting about her… she's probably loving it.
MomLogic, please focus on that little girl and the trial, not the day-to-day activities of a presumed child-killer.
This is ridiculous. Why are we caring about Casey's safety in jail?
She typically sings like a canary, she could be out among the prisoner population yapping like there is no tomorrow which would probably result in FINDING OUT WHERE SHE BURIED HER DAUGHTER, hello !!!!
All the jail and her lawyers, especially jose, have done so far is hinder an investigation.
I don't think we need to hear about her menus and if/when/how she spends the money in her account. What does this have to do with anything?
Why is this supposed to be interesting…I could care less how she spends her day, what she eats or if she has a window. Apparently she is not concerned about them finding her poor baby, and making her rest, I want to know how she sleeps at night and functions during the day, knowing that that poor poor baby is out there.
What Casey Anthony needs is to come to Phoenix and live in sheriff Joe's tent city eating the famous green bologna sandwiches and working on the only female chain gang in the country.
She is in paradise.
Do you still "sympathize" with Casey Anthony, as you stated in your previous post? Yech.
I agree with Jill and Nicole. This is prison we're talking here. She's not living a glamorous lifestyle.(keep in mind in this country you are innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.) She's eating stale bread and old cornflakes. They should be focusing more on the case rather than pointing out "how good she has it". You people are making it seem like she's on vacation.
Don't you realize that you've just provided CNN's Nancy Grace with an entire evenings worth of programming? Honestly, there is nothing too trivial pertaining to Casey Anthony that isn't covered by Nancy Grace; her commissary account balance, her purchases from a sports bra to a ponytail holder. Casey's diet and cuisine seem all-important to some people as does her daily regimen during the one hour out of her cell.
Why can't everyone cut through the minutiae and realize that Casey Anthony's lies and deception, her actions and silence as to the whereabouts of her daughter simply reinforce her guilt of first degree murder?
I wish I could have cake twice in 1 day!!!
Although it´s probably true that the Nancy Grace team will be able to spend a few shows solely on this matter, I for one do find it very interesting to picture where this woman lives with her sordid secrets.
I heard last night that when the news of a "possible" breakthru in the case (bag found in lake with child contents), that Casey turned away and went back to her cell DURING the breakthru news. I can't believe how icy cold she is. Now, I do agree that it was not news to her since she KNEW that nothing found pertained to Caylee because she KNOWS where the body is and it's not where they (searchers) are looking. I hope she gets the harshest sentence handed down.
What I find really disturbing is how many people seem to believe that Caylee's remains must be found before 'she can rest' or before 'she can be at peace.' What a cruel and terrifying world you people must live in if you believe that Caylee (her soul or her ghost or whatever) is somehow suffering or unable to find peace until her remains are found. It may provide some amount of closure to the family and the people following the case, but if you believe that it will somehow make dead Caylee 'feel' better or 'rest peacefully' then you are a nutjob.
I am so addicted to this case. I was thinking yesterday though that the media should stop helping the Anthony's. I mean, after all, the person who has all the information, refuses to come clean. Obviously the Anthony's don't care about this little girl. Why should we????
I wonder how her family is paying for Henry Lee to join the team who's paying for him and that cobalinsky scientist guy, they are top people in their profession, did they get the reward of 225,000 given to them since noone can find Caylee, her mom knows that Blanchard park is full of alligators, and seems like she might have put her in for the critters, and maybe thats why she has no scared look on her face, she probably witnessed the whole thing, the sick bi—-.
Go the the Anthony's house—-DIG UP that CONCRETE SLAB………….Find out exactly WHEN IT WAS INSTALLED!!!Nancy Grace is wrong on this one—- the Anthony's KNOW where Caylee is buried..that's why ole Cindy changed her tune about everything. Go find Mr. Brother Lee… he knows too. What is wrong with you people? She's right under their nose. Beat the crap out of Casey.. Put her in with the other inmates and let them GET HER TO TALK!
Well, we know that Casey A. is able to eat, read, and has no photos of Caylee in her cell. That says alot, in my opinion. She is still showing no emotion over loss of her child, which is very sick. She is a true sociopath, and could be a danger to ANYONE who crossed her, including her parents.
I think when the time is right, Casey will come up with some shattering story that will probably bring her whole family down. Such as abuse, blackmail, threats etc…She will stop at nothing to save herself. It's a miracle her parents are still alive. She made the statement that the house was hers…scary thought.

Humanities Faculty
Students at key stage have 3 lessons of History and Geography a fortnight and 1 lesson of Religious Education and Citizenship a week. Each lesson is 50 minutes long and form the building blocks from which to move forward to examination subjects.
We teach a broad and varied curriculum that follows National Curriculum guidelines. We incorporate a wide range of learning and teaching strategies, which enable all our students to succeed. Individual, pair and group work form the basis for learning in all Humanities subjects. Reading, writing and speaking and listening are all important and we teach the skills that students will need to be effective learners both at school and beyond.
We offer different pathways for students to reflect their personal needs and strengths; from certificate Geography, through GCSE's to A levels.
Assessment Methods
We assess our students' progress regularly at Key Stage 3, with end of topic tests and level indicator assessments throughout each term.
We are beginning to use peer and self-assessment to help students be aware of their own progress so they can set themselves targets to improve.
These methods of assessment help our students to prepare for the controlled assessment tasks that they will be undertaking in GSCE, if they choose to follow History and Geography. They are ready a part of Citizenship GCSE which all students take at the end of year 10, some students will be able to continue and do the full GSCE at the end of year 11.
Trips and visits
There have been trips to St Albans to support the teaching of Humanities in the lower school. GCSE students are expected to go on field trips both in History and Geography. Geography has linked with the languages department to do field work in France on the day trip.
Citizenship have a number of activities that include visits e.g. to the Magistrates Court to participate in a mock trial and to support various charities. We have successfully run Stop the Clock days on Brazil and have theatre groups visiting when appropriate. E.g. Holocaust
Students are given homework regularly relating to the work undertaken in class. This should be recorded in their homework diaries and completed by the given deadline. Time organisation is important from year 7 as it encourages good habits that will prove helpful with coursework commitments for GCSE in years 10 and 11.
Students are encouraged to read newspapers and watch news programmes as these relate to topics covered especially in Religious Education and Citizenship.

What a man whore!!
"LIZZI! Come on we gotta go" Brendon screamed jumping on my bed. I sighed hid my diary I know what a nosey bastard he is.
"Okay Beary now go and let me dress"
I took my time in getting ready to annoy Brendon and Ryan and just incase I bump into Adam.
I wore a pink top that read Scream Louder and some black skinner jeans and my pink converse. My hair was down and straightened finished of with a layer of eyeliner and mascara and some pink eyeshade. I walked out to find Brendon on my phone.
"Okay." "Yup I'll tell her" "I hope you have honest intentions towards her Adam" ADAM!! I'm going to kill Brendon.
"Adam..?" "(yep)" "I'm so sorry about him he just a moron and it doesn't matter coz he is gonna die soon anyway" "(Haha well don't kill him on my account Lizzi)" "lol so what can I do for you" "(how bout meet me at star bucks at 10?)" "Sure" ("kk cya") bye"
"BRENDON!" I ran outside to find him hiding behind a trash can I had to do it I kicked his ass
"Ry my bestest little brother ever" I pouted
He raised an eyebrow. "What do want?"
"Can you give me a lift to star bucks?"
"Sure" he smiled. I ran in and grabbed my diary.
Brendon is a man whore and is gonna die a very slow and painful death. How Ryan can be in a band with him is beyond me. How dare he speak to Adam! I'm surprised he is still talking to me after that slag spoke to him. Still I guess I should be glad it wasn't Pete he really is a man whore
10 minutes later we pulled up outside star bucks and a huge smile over took my face when I saw Adam sitting there waiting tucked behind a copy of the rolling stone.
