Reforming the Insanity Defense: The Need for a Psychological Defect Plea
Sadistic killers are broken down into three main categories, and five subcategories, of which only one, the visionary sadist, can argue insanity as it is now. The visionary sadistic killer is the must uncommon of the sadistic lust killers, the sexual sadists. These sadistic killers suffer from hallucinations and/or delusions – hearing or seeing visions instructing he or she to kill. The visionary killer is considered psychotic or insane and typically, these are the serial killers who successful achieve an insanity defense.
The second two, mission-oriented and hedonistic, cannot currently argue an insanity defense. Mission-oriented sadistic killers work to eliminate what they believe is an undesirable group of people. They do not suffer from delusions or any apparent psychological shortcomings, and they understand that what they are doing is wrong and thus cannot argue insanity. The third type, the most common and most dangerous, is the hedonistic sadistic killer. Hedonistic sadistic killers are broken down into five subcategories: the lust-oriented type, thrill-oriented type, comfort-oriented, control-oriented, and predatory.
The lust-oriented killer can be either organized or disorganized. The disorganized asocial type usually has below average intelligence and is socially and sexually incompetent (Simons, 2001). The organized nonsocial type usually has above-average intelligence and is socially and sexually competent, and typically strategically targets strangers (Simons, 2001). The thrill-oriented killer is motivated by a need for excitement, which he or she finds in killing. He or she needs his or her "victim to be alive and aware of the degradation before being killed" (Simons, 2001). Thrill-oriented killing involves a drawn-out murder because the killer derives most of his pleasure from the process of the murder rather than the actual kill itself (Simons, 2001). Comfort-oriented killers murder to profit economically from the death, usually through inheritance of money, property, etc. (Simons, 2001). Women serial killers often fall into this category (Simons, 2001). Control-oriented killers find gratification in having power over their victims, "especially the thrill of deciding whether a person will live or die, [as well as] how and when" (Simons, 2001). Predatory killers are attracted to the hunt and kill, and view killing as a sport or recreational activity (Simons, 2001). Currently, all of these five subcategories lack sufficient psychosis symptoms to allow them an insanity defense. However, the question then becomes are they really psychologically and mentally competent.
Many serial murderers fit the profile for having an anti-social personality disorder (Simons, 2001). Holmes and DeBurger (1985) contend:
"Affected individuals are often quite intelligent and charming and are free from psychosis and neurosis. They are good at manipulating people for their own ends and prefer to have superficial relationships with others rather than close and intimate friendships. They have almost no capacity to put themselves in the place of their victims and, therefore, have no sympathy for them." (As cited by Simons, 2001)
Unlike serial killers with psychopathy, those with anti-social personality disorder should not be allowed to plead guilty by reason of insanity. They lack empathy but otherwise understand what they are doing. Unlike serial killers with pscyhopathy they manipulate the system to benefit their own means to an end. Allowing this disorder to fall into the insanity defense would feed into their disorder in that it would allow for the manipulation of the system to benefit their own ends, which would increase the societal biases that insanity pleas are generally a tactic not a defense.
Societal Biases
Societal biases are a major concern in the court system because they can change a verdict depending on the biases of jurors. Cesar Barone was a sociopath who murdered at least five women. Jack Levin testified at his trial stressing to the jury that serial murderers spending life in prison are more cooperative and we can learn more from them than serial murderers on death row. Barone was sentenced to death because the jurors believed he would never be executed due to the fact that then state of Oregon had not executed anyone since 1997. Upon appeal, Barone's legal team quoted a juror's exchange with the defense team during the discovery phase. This quote is the perfect example of societal biases affecting the verdict.
"I believe, when you get a personality type such as Ted Bundy's, there is virtually no chance for rehabilitation. I believe, yes, they should be executed. I don't believe the American public should have to support them. They serve no constructive good for society. ... There [are] a lot of people who have that [had a terrible childhood, had been abused, and neglected, and mistreated] that don't go out and do these things" (Levin, 2008).
She is not alone. Many people believe that serial killers have no chance for rehabilitation; therefore they should be executed to save money. However, that is where this juror and most of society, generally speaking, are wrong. The death penalty, especially in the case of serial killers, is detrimental and hurts society more than it helps. A life without parole sentence is just as effective, if not more effective, as a deterrent as the death penalty, is economically more efficient and, as Levin stated, serial killers are more cooperative when they are incarcerated for life.
There is more than just a societal bias against serial killers. There is a societal bias and disapproval of the insanity defense. In addition to juror attitudes and misconceptions about the legal aspects of the defense itself, jurors' implicit theories about what constitutes insanity have been found to be strongly associated with verdicts (Krauss & Lieberman, 2009). Thus, verdicts may depend in large part on jurors' a priori attitudes and conceptions rather than on the legal standard as applied to the evidence (Krauss & Lieberman, 2009). Many studies have shown that the American public overestimates both the use and success of the insanity defense in the courtroom. This overestimation correlates directly to the thoughts of jurors, and can create a serious bias when the insanity defense is properly pled before them. While it is unclear how much jurors' implicit theories affect their verdicts, several studies have implicated that jurors may categorize defendants according to prototypes that match their implicit theories of insanity defendants (Krauss & Lieberman, 2009).
With history as an example, public opinion affects laws and customs. The perfect example of a negative public opinion impact is the Reagan assassination attempt. John W. Hinckley, Jr., the man who tried to assassinate Reagan, was acquitted based on the insanity defense and there was a public uproar. As a result of this public outrage, there was major court reform, including the Insanity Defense Reform Act (IDRA), which made it even more difficult to argue the insanity defense.Continued on Next Page »

"but my guess is that most of the lag issues come not from Blizzard's side, but from the connections between players and them, which they may not have any control over anyway."
This is NOT the case, my connection is stellar. But during prime hours, you will have 200 players in the courtyard in what is probably the most epic and glorious battle in the game.
But NONE of us can see it. Lagg makes it unplayable.
If Blizzard is simply going to "wait until the population goes down" then lagg will be permanent. Unless they stop upgrading VoA, which I don't see happening.

We are an island of misfit toys.
We are an island of misfit toys.
Trying to change our bashed up pieces,
and replacing what makes us different.
From our paint,
our hinges and wheels,
To our parts,
Even the way we feel.
We are a band of the world's most angry punks.
Pissed off and wide-eyed,
Yellow-bellied and tongue-tied.
We have so much to say,
and no way to let it out.
So, we're forced to scream and yell
and beg through our music as if it's going to let something,
anything through.
We are the rebels that overthrow the king.
Plotting, corrupting, pillaging.
We will take what we can get and feel nothing.
Because we are considered to be nothing.
We are not small or big enough,
Pretty enough,
Smart enough,
Or good enough for self-proclaimed royalty.
We are a family of misfit toys.
Helping each other find our missing pieces,
and assuring that there is nothing wrong with being different.
We are that band of angry punks,
screaming sweet nothings at each other all day because we know,
someone here is gonna listen.
We are the rebels that will over throw the king.
Because despite of our differences,
We are fine,
just the way we are.
We are a family that fights together.
And, I'm not about to change that.

For Lin, the juxtaposition of architectural, social, and animal information creates a hybrid "breed" of architecture.

As a result, his drawing process takes control and suggests what each new house might be.

Kim Kardashian & Step-Bro Brandon Jenner Have a Secret Past
Brody Jenner Dated His Brother Brandon's Wife Leah Before They Got Married!
Brody Jenner has revealed that he dated his brother Brandon's wife Leah Jenner years before they got married!
The 30-year-old reality star had his sister-in-law Leah as a guest on his podcast The Brody Jenner Podcast with Dr. Mike Dow on Thursday (June 26) and she talked about how she met her husband.
"We've known each other since we were 11 years old; I was 11 years old, he was 13," Leah said (via Us Weekly). "We started playing [music] in high school together. I had a boyfriend, he had a girlfriend. And then when I was single one day, he was single one day and he came up to me and he's like, 'I've been in love with you since you were 11 years old.'"
Brody interrupted the conversation by saying, "The boyfriend at the time was me. That's what made it really awkward."
"That wasn't true! That is not true," Leah added. "I met Brandon through Brody. We went to school together when we were 11. Okay, 11. You don't kiss, you don't make out, you don't hold hands, you beat each other up, you play basketball… So he was my boyfriend in the fifth grade, Brody was [but] we never kissed."
Brody then said, "I did shoot her with a BB gun!"

Lawton, OKLa._
A local pastor is changing the lives of young people who live in an apartment complex in Southwest Lawton that is plagued by violence. Pastor Michael Cross started the "Every Life Matters" program at the Sanders Heights Apartments back in January. It offers children living in the complex classes focused on life skills character building, music lessons and while providing them a nutritious meal. Cross said he wants to put these children on a path to success and put an end to the vicious cycle of violence.
Every other Saturday, the program takes children from the ages of four to 17, and teaches them about forgiveness, honesty, trustworthiness and obedience. Pastor Cross said he got the idea for the program after learning about a similar program in California.
The children eagerly learn about important life skills in three classrooms in one of the apartments. Cross said their enthusiasm is proof that this program can work. He said part of the mission of the program is to positively influence the minds of Sanders Heights' youngest residents.
"I believe that once you change or influence a person's mind, they can make better decisions. They can pick themselves up and do better for themselves. That's my goal to watch these children age up in my program and see the results of the impact of our teaching," said Cross.
Many of the children said they can't wait to attend the classes and were excited to talk about their favorite part of the program. 11-year-old Blessen Blackwell said she's excited to be a part of a youth orchestra Pastor Cross is putting together.
"Learn how to play the piano because I never knew how to. It makes me even prouder of myself," said Blackwell.
Her 9-year-old brother Keeon is equally excited about the life skills he said he's learned.
"Pastor Cross teaching about the bible and teaching the boys not to be rude and disrespectful. Because if you're rude and disrespectful to other adults you can probably get in trouble," he said.
The non-profit program relies solely on donations and volunteers. Terrell Fuller manages the program's finances and says the donations are vital to the success of the program.
"We have to feed the kids too, we buy supplies, we've been raising money for a computer and soccer gear. A lot of the instruments that we have are based of off donations too," said Fuller.
Cross said he believes one of the best ways to make a difference in a community struggling to overcome violence is to teach its youngest residents a different way to survive.
"There'll be less violence, less domestic violence, less police cars with teens. We're trying to impact the children before they reach that age. If we can change their minds now, bend that tree while it's young, there will not be a whole lot of trouble in the community," said Cross.
He admits that the program, which now has about 45 children who attend, is not without its challenges. Cross said the hardest part is getting some of the parents motivated even though it's free to attend. He said it's going to take the support of the entire community to keep this program going.

As always It's been FOREVER since I've posted any music for you folks to listen to, SO, (as always) I'll reciprocate and give you a DOPE song from back when 8 mile was about to come out and I was in grade 8 being a total gangster.
Here's Eminem's Stimulate.
Tyler the Creator ft. Frank Ocean with She.
YA I KNOW, a lot of hip hop; deal with it, SON.
Just realized it's been like 60 years since I last posted some music, dudes.
So here's a hip hopanonymous called Internally Bleeding by Immortal Technique.
ALSO: I've reached 200 201 followers.
#fa-real guise?
A very chilllled song by Minus the Bear; off their 'Acoustics' album, here's Pachuca Sunrise.
Aka. My alarm in the morning.
…is this not playing for you, cuz it's not playing for me.
…is this not playing for you, cuz it's not playing for me.
I want to learn to finger pick this well, Ugh.
ONE DAY, and I will serenade my wife daily.
Elliot Smith - Angeles.
Fun song to play, this is Coldplay - See You Soon.
The live version is pretty awesome, too.
Procreate-Satan's cover of Benighted by Opeth.
Keep it up!
(Source: raw-hands)
Listened to this song a couple times at work because I was so inclined to go on a Team Sleep/Deftones binge at work. It was deece.
Deftones' Pink Maggit.
Because I know there are people who wouldn't want to turn on soft-core porn to listen to such a chilled song, here's an upload.
Radiohead - Nude.
Forgot how much I liked this band.
/dusts off music I haven't listened to in years
Current cover project! Guitar has taken Killzone 3 over by storm.
I only have so much free time, explosions and headshots. FORGIVE ME HELGHAST, I PROMISE I'M STILL PRO!
Here's City and Colour's Constant Knot.
This is Me covering Badly Drawn Boy - A Minor Incident on my guitar.
BE KIND, I never post myself singing on the internets!
I got a lyric wrong, some chords were messed up, recording was with a webcam which means it's CRAP, blah blah.
I really hope you all enjoy it.
Here's a cute one for all you bleeding hearts out there, this one is called Nothing Better by The Postal Service.
Good ol' highschool beats.
…How did I end up in a death metal band again?
Here's a song that sounds mysteriously like Bloody Beetroots' Warp.
It's called Orgo by Savoy.
I LOVE ELECTRO HOUSE. This music provides the best party times ever. Dubstep wins, granted, but electro house gets a mention, too.
My Pops is a Musician and he took my family to his gigs when I was a young boy and this is one song I remember him playing so well.
I REMEMBER: Sitting backstage hearing him singing this song and playing guitar. So nostalgic I really love it.
Here's Steve Earle's Even When I'm Blue.

Holladay • City Council members have voted unanimously for an ordinance regulating recreational beekeeping within Holladay's boundaries.
The ordinance was revised Thursday after a resident expressed concerns at a public meeting in late May that the first draft didn't account for the neighbors of beekeepers. After that discussion, the council added a nuisance clause and required neighbors to inform nearby houses of their backyard beehives.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Resident Scott Davis is happy with the latest version and thanked the council for their "responsiveness" in listening to feedback.
The ordinance requires keepers to have a nearby water source and, depending on lot size, follow guidelines for property setbacks.
The final ordinance gives keepers a "reasonable amount of time" to correct issues that may arise instead of the previously proposed five-day period.
For clarity, Councilman Lynn Pace also reworded portions. One change specifies that the water source needs to be located on the parcel. Another revision made clear that if bees had to be removed from a residence, the first step would be to relocate the hives rather than destroy them, as the previous draft alluded.
Holladay Mayor Robert Dahle said the ordinance is meant to keep relationships between neighbors "courteous."
"More people are taking up beekeeping as a hobby," he said, "and so we just wanted to get out front of the issue."

Making the Year for a Superstitious Super
The Saturday
before New Year's I ran into the super of the Times Square tenement where
I've been staying lately. The building has an address on W. 40th St., right
across the street from the massive south wall of the Port Authority terminal,
but it's not really on the street. It's a relic of a time when Hell's
Kitchen developers, trying to get as many (I presume Irish) swots and immigrant
families as they could on each block, squeezed an extra row of tall, narrow
tenement houses into the courtyards between street-facing buildings. So I go
in a front door on W. 40th, stepping past the local crackies and alkies and
the guys pissing on our steps, walk straight down a hall and out the back door,
make three steps past the garbage cans in the micro-courtyard and into the door
of my building. Because it's not actually on a street, sheltered by buildings
on W. 40th and W. 39th, it's kind of quiet in there, except when the
neighboring Mexican joint hires a live mariachi band, which is sort of pleasant,
or some crackie on 39th has a screaming fit at 4 a.m., which makes you want
to own a rifle.
five stories tall and two rooms wide. The current owner has been renovating
the rooms into nice little furnished bedsits–I call them foreign exchange
student garrets, as that seems to be most of my neighbors–on short-term
leases. Besides me, the only adults in the building appear to be the super,
whom I'll call Jimmy, and an ancient man who lives down in the basement,
whom I'll call Nick. There may be a Chinese lady who takes in wash on the
ground floor, but I'm not sure.
Jimmy is
Greek, a friendly little wiry guy, usually in a wifebeater, who'll turn
69 this month and lives alone in a minuscule, unreconstructed room-and-bath
up on the top floor. We bonded when I moved in. I collect mail for a former
tenant, mostly bills addressed variously to Wiang Ju-Weng or Wang Jiu-Wang or
Hwang Tsu-Cheng, and leave them by Jimmy's door for him to forward. They
were buddies.
This simple
chore has convinced Jimmy that I'm an all-right guy. That Saturday I see
him in the hall and he says Look Johnny, I don't want to bother you, but
I need to ask you a favor. Are you going to be here on New Year's Eve?
Jimmy, I say, it's Times Square. I plan to be far, far away on New Year's
Eve. He looks worried and says But look, can you come knock on my door on New
Year's Day? I don't care if it's 5 in the morning, just come
knock. I say Jimmy I don't know when I'll be back that day. What's
this about? He says I'm superstitious. Last year nobody knocked on New
Year's Day and I had a very bad year. Please Johnny can you do this for
me? I wouldn't bother you but I don't know nobody else I can ask.
So what
could I do. On the afternoon of New Year's Eve I come back from shopping
and for a minute I think some Islamic atomikazes must have leveled the Port
Authority (or as I like to call it, the Pork Authority), there are so many cops
in the hood. There are men in blue everywhere–very everywhere–lining
the streets, screwing up traffic, setting up sawhorses, making the crackies
and alkies really nervous. At 3 p.m. the area is filling up with holiday-makers.
If I don't escape soon I'll be trapped in there with them.
I bolt to
Brooklyn. To a party that goes all night and then into the next day. I drop
dead at 9 or 10 a.m. and am reborn around 3:30 in the afternoon on New Year's
Day. And my first thought is Fuck, I gotta go knock on Jimmy's door. Drag
myself into last night's clothes, stumble in the brutal cold over to the
L stop, L to the A to Port Authority, in the door at W. 40th, down the hall,
out the back, into my building, up five flights. Knock on Jimmy's door.
It's 4:30. For a minute I hear nothing inside and think Fuck you, Jimmy,
fuck you, you better be in there. Knock louder. A rustle of locks and chains.
Jimmy opens the door a crack and throws on a huge, very relieved smile. "Hey
Johnny! Happy New Year! Come in come in come in."
place is the same micro-layout as mine–tiny bedroom, miniature kitchen
area and a bathroom about as big as one in a commercial airliner–only not
renovated and lived in by a solitary guy for a long, long time. It's dark
and smells like an old man. We sit at his little vinyl-tableclothed kitchen
table. He pours us deep shots of Metaxa out of an unlabeled bottle with a piece
of tape across it and METAXA handwritten on it in ballpoint. Cuts us two fat
slabs of feta cheese.
This is
real feta cheese, he says, from Greece. You know Astoria? I get it from an old
friend out there. Not that fuckin' shit they sell here (he means the "international"
food shops on 9th Ave.). Americans make feta cheese, he says. The French make
feta cheese. Jews make feta cheese. But this is the real Greek stuff.
On the wall
above us, slipping behind glass, a bunch of long-faded and browned snapshots.
Jimmy at 21, standing ramrod short and proud, the day he got out of the Greek
navy. Jimmy and his wife, some kids, some antique weddings.
Jimmy left
Greece in the 1960s, after his wife died, and went first to Canada, where he
worked in a Greek restaurant. Came to New York in the 70s and worked the counter
in a Greek diner in Astoria for years. "I bring you a piece of cheesecake
and coffee, $1.75. You leave $2.50. Those were good tips. Now, cheesecake and
coffee $3.75, and you leave a quarter. No good, Johnny." He makes a hand-washing
gesture. "I quit, come here."
been the super for 26 years, since the building was all rent-controlled ratholes
filled with permanent old folks like Nick down in the basement. Nick is tall
and cruelly stooped, with a hooked nose and stringy shoulder-length white hair.
He looks like an old peasant out of Dostoevsky. Sometimes he crawls up out of
his warren and sits smoking a cigarette and hacking phlegm in a folding chair
beside the garbage cans in the courtyard. Jimmy tells me he's been in that
basement since 1945–since the Chinese takeout nearby was a bar–and
refuses to leave. "He thinks he runs the building," Jimmy says. "He
thinks he's king."
Jimmy recalls
a Christmas season when the thermostat broke and he spent weeks down there turning
the boiler on and off by hand, never leaving the basement, sleeping on a cot.
He's devoted to the building that way. A solitary old guy proud of his
dedication. I get the impression it's all he's got.
I force
my way out Jimmy's door, carrying a wedge of some kind of Greek New Year's
bread. That evening I pass it around among friends, making sure everybody gets
a little piece. I'm going to find out when Jimmy's birthday is and
invite him down for a drink. I've got my superstitions too.

How An Online Course Compares
AbstractStudent satisfaction with and performance in an online agrisales course is compared with that of students enrolled in a simultaneously-taught classroom course. Assessment tools are developed for both sections. Online and classroom students were equally satisfied with the course and the instructor using most measures, but had different motives for course enrollment. Overall student performance did not differ. However, online students tended to do better on exams and homework assignments while classroom students demonstrated a greater ability to apply course concepts to a practical setting. Results suggest instructors be well-prepared to handle unique learner situations prior to marketing an online course and work to ensure students are motivated to complete online course components.

Fluffywumpki of Kilrogg said...
part of me wants to QQ.... then I start thinking of the PUGs I've been in that can't handle the transition, and that part shuts up
bulletproofblouse said...
All it takes is a hunter to perform not even a supremely well-timed couple of Misdirected Shots on Marrowgar at the end of the Bone Storm and, yay, a raid is saved. Any hunters, PuGged or otherwise, that can't handle that should be told, even helped, to delete their character and roll something a little more suited to their sheer lack of ability. (*coughpaladincough*) :p
Speaking as a hunter, I'm going to miss that little sliver of responsibilty there. Stupid huntards, and stupid PuGs. :(
Personally, I liked having Marrowgar as a very basic metric of how fail the PUG was. If the DPS couldn't handle watching their timers and stopping a second or two before the end of the WW phase, they weren't going to be able to get through the later bosses, either. Better to find that out on the first boss than to get saved to a raid ID that you'd be lucky to get through Saurfang with, let alone any of the later wings.
I personally am happy with the important part of this. If they had just delayed the attack it would have been fine, but I can't tell you how many times I have grabbed the boss and watched the clothie he just finished bomestorming get saber lashed. Seriously, there was maybe a one second delay from the end of bomestorm to the first lash. Now I can eat a single lash solo, but the Mage who didn't know which direction to go yet as I rotate him didn't deserve to act like a tank and eat that.
Making him delay would have been good enough the threat dump is just to let those PUGs trying to get their 5 badges a break.

John Brings His Hotness To Buy Giant Wine Bottle
by Molly Goodson 74 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Can John Mayer get a price check in Aisle 2? John was looking good, but not quite as dreamy as the other day, doing a little wine shopping in NYC last night. I don't want to jump to any conclusions (yes I do), but maybe he was planning a little romantic dinner for his rumored new girl, Cameron. even if there's no truth to that pairing, I'm definitely on a John Mayer high right now, how about you?
Lots more of Mayer stocking up so read more

KENDWA ROCKS offers something for every need and budget. The relaxed Zanzibari atmosphere will mellow you down in no time.
Kendwa Rocks is about one hour drive from Zanzibar Town towards the northern tip of the island. The road descends through Kendwa village towards one of the most fantastic beaches of East Africa. Just opposite you can see the lighthouse of nearby Tumbatu Island. Sunbathing may be enough, but you can also snorkel, dive or fish and do small boat trips on the turquoise waters. Beautiful sunsets are everyday thrill and moonlighted nights on the white coral and seashell beach make an unforgettable experience.
The choice of accomodation is ample: you can choose a spacious suite or family room, coral stone or palmwood bungalow or just a simple palmwood banda. The rooms are surrounded by coconut trees and lush tropical gardens.

I think the fact that a lot of people are missing is that...yes, this change is going to HELP people get through tiers faster and get to current content, but it's not ALL that they have to do. Look at the Conquest vendor. The only slots you can get there are your T8 Helm and Chestpiece, belts, gloves, leggings, and necklaces. You still need a weapon (or weapon and offhand), two rings, trinkets, bracers. Even if you were to convert some of those Conquest badges to Valor and fill as many slots as you can with that gear, you'd still need to run Naxx a few times to fill in the slots if you want to be competitive/contribute to your raid in the next tier. Basically...what it means is, you won't have to farm Naxx for two months straight to think about making progress into Ulduar. If you keep up doing dailies after the patch and stockpile your Triumph badges, you don't have to farm Ulduar for as long to think about getting into the Crusade. It's...an absolutely brilliant move on the part of Blizz.
This change above all else has gotten my guild so excited. We're struggling to clear Naxx on a regular basis. We formed pretty late in 3.0's lifespan, summer has hit us like a sack of bricks, and we're having a hard time filling slots when nobody wants to go to a Naxx run that isn't a guaranteed full-clear in three hours. We assumed that 3.2 was gonna be kind of like a..."side" tier to t8 rather than a full upgrade, so we thought we had more time. We were really worried when we found out that 3.2 was t9, but this news is fanTASTIC. (This change even soothes the burn from the beating that Unholy DKs are getting just a little...)

Brian Kuzmick has been the basketball coach at St. Hubert for almost a decade, and the Bambies have been an annual lock to punch their ticket to the Catholic League playoffs. While that's all well and good, like any coach worth his mettle, Kuzmick wants more.
Herbert and Catherine Schaible found themselves in a Philadelphia courtroom last week because they didn't get help for their ailing infant when he needed it most. Yet, the Schaibles used their seven surviving children to beg the court for leniency.
Phil Monastra drew up the game plan, and his team executed it to near perfection. When the final buzzer sounded and the Northeast girls basketball team ended up on the wrong side of the scoreboard, the Lady Vikings' head coach wasn't angry about the result.
They filed into the tiny office inside the school gymnasium, one by one, until there were six of them inside the cramped room. They rattled off the neighborhoods they hail from and grade schools they attended, from Fox Chase to Somerton to Mayfair; St. Cecilia to St. Matthew to St. Albert the Great.
At a Monday evening practice, the Franklin Towne Charter boys basketball team split themselves down the middle and scattered to opposite ends of the court for a shooting competition. Each player had 90 seconds to make as many jumpers as possible from the high posts, and the side with the highest composite score at the end won.
In any family, minor arguments and disagreements have the tendency to erupt into dramatic histrionics. However, at the end of the day, unconditional love and support usually triumphs, making the previous frustrations seem both silly and unnecessary.
Having both opened their doors in the 19th century, Central and Northeast high schools are about as ancient as it gets when it comes to fierce athletic rivals.
After losing his top two scorers from a season ago, John Creighton knows sometimes it's just as opportune to be lucky as it is good.
Nobody really knows what was on Thomas Houck's mind as he idly watched his elderly father starve to death and his mother nearly do the same in late 2011.

9 strange things thieves steal
When times get tough, just about anything is fair game for criminals. These days, there are black markets for detergent, hay and even teeth.
We ate lard on our bread to fill up. Mom baked 7 loaves of bread a day of course there were 10 of us.
We had lots of wild plums, apples, grapes in the fence lines of our property. Now all are gone due to atrazine weed killer. Oh yes elderberries, raspberries' and black berries also. We had a big garden and Dad had about 50 to 80 acres of potatoes. So many people rapped on their door to offer to pick potatoes all day if they could have 1/2 bushel. Of course Dad had all the help needed. He was so stressed out by not being able to accommodate all the people asking, he almost quit farming. The inside of any used envelope was cut nicely for our grocery list. Only essentials were purchased or traded for the eggs, fowl, potatoes, etc. I could go on and on. The children just don't realize what we went through. Actually we need another time like this to put the children back in to perspective. Cell phones, I pads etc. etc.. We quit electricity and took out the phone. But we all survived.
The entire country is run basically like a crooked carnival that only benefits the smallest fraction of 1% of the people while the rest are taken advantage of and told to blame illegal immigrants, minorities, women, gays or any other scapegoated group with the exception of the pirates that are stealing the majority of the nations' wealth through clever deception.
The most popular stolen articles in my area are copper pipes from abandoned houses (we have lots of them), frozen seafood and manhole covers. Of course scrap metal dealers shouldn't accept man hole covers. I drive an elderly car which I plan to run into the ground. My TV is 20 years old; I only use it to watch DVDs. I am a vegetarian because I cannot condone the horrors of factory farming, but also because meat is full of anti-biotics and growth hormones. Try giving up meat, after a few months you won't miss it, likewise cigarettes. The greatest incentive to quit smoking, I think, is to think how stinky it makes your breath! Keep that in mind.
I do buy a lot of clothes, from my favorite thrift shop, carrying names like Liz Claiborn, Jones New York, Eddy Bauer, LL Bean, and others. I've gotten all-wool coats and unworn leather shoes. It's fun! The only new things I bought this year is underwear from Walmart, and a pair of winter boots, which will probably last forever, from LL Bean.
I seldom go out to eat, which I consider "recreational eating" which is making Americans fat, diabetic, and unhealthy. I am not into status symbols, fads, or the latest technological toys. My motto is from Henry David Thoreau "A man is wealthy according to the things he can let alone."
I realize my life style, which I am quite happy with, would be an impractical hardship for many people, especially for people with kids. I feel parents who buy their kids everything they want are raising kids who will be (let's face it) downwardly mobile, maybe even poor, and will not adjust to their less affluent lives. Instill a love of reading and take them to the library, as soon as they can read.
I read this and am both amused and annoyed at the same time. Am amused as it shows how "creative" people are about making money. As several of my relatives used to tell me if they put half that effort into an honest job they would be a great person. Am annoyed as many seem to miss what i see as the main point of the slide show/ article. The point being that there are always those that will use means other then legal to procure a living and some of those means will seem weird or out there to those of us that are relatively law abiding.
The only person that I have to answer to for my actions in the mirror each day is myself so i make sure that I can answer myself with a good heart.
Wait a minute! The reverend Al and all the Left-wing media are saying things are looking up. The prospects for "America" are great. Our leader is a gift from god, the new-age messiah. Who can possibly believe a story like this? When the doctor and his staff that told us they may have to go out business when the first of Obamacare bomb**** them, I told them to watch Rachel Maddow and Ed Schultz explain why they're crazy.
The American people are not just stupid, it seems - they're crazy, too. Ah, but that's gonna be taken care of by another federal Obama program - right?

Let's build a better media to facilitate democratic debate!
Audio version of the idea:
Michael Sandel started an idea requiring support. He said, "One thing the world needs, one thing this country desperately needs is a better way of conducting our political debates. We need to rediscover the lost art of democratic argument.". Professor Sandel is doing his part, but more needs to be done to provide a media to facilitate public participation in a civil debate. Tools are required to motivate more to develop better arguments.
The Do Good Gauge is a research proposal seeking others interested in developing a solution to the problem Professor Sandel describes. Applause is not required. Needed are a group of individuals willing to set aside their ego, to set aside a desire for financial gain and focus on a new media to motivate participation and give higher demographic viewership to the best arguments regardless of fame or status.
Here are a few essays to continue Professor Sandel's thought:
What is the Do Good Gauge?
I Had the Dream
A Better Way for Political Discourse
Please, let's give a try. The first step is to continue the discussion.
Closing Statement from Scott Nesler
I approached this idea as if there were two sides in developing a democratic media, the media and the public. What was learned is appreciated but a typical path in the attempt to sustain dialogue in the conversation. Going into to this TED idea I was more critical of the existing media and its inability to provide a wider representation of citizens thoughts. Upon the expiration of the TED clock it was realized how difficult it is to develop a thought understood and respected by the reader. How difficult it is to acquire feedback and sustain attention in a dialogue.
There were a few successes. Edward Long's streak of questions started with scepticism and ended in a hope for the idea. Though his questions did not traverse the entirety of the idea they did give opportunity for better clarification.
Wayne Tod started a dialogue which extended to private email. What Wayne Tod brought to the conversation was the importance of self reflection in developing a thought.
Feyisayo Anjorin comment motivated what is probably the best summary of this idea. The fourth post down, written on June 2nd, should be read as an extension of this closing statement.
External to this idea TED exposed the difficulty and the lack of good tools to facilitate an individual to advance an idea. Don Wesley's TED idea illustrates a man wrongly pushed to homelessness wishing to respectfully illustrate his case. Existing technology does not provide the public an efficient and respectful means to guide him through the many iterations required build a case worthy of broader appeal.

I of course am everything that this is not in that I am self tought Leaving me in the realms of dinosaurs soon to be Extinct! Fear of such things is not of concern so long as the teachers are of belief & not just of known to such a tool Tools are ment to free a burden not create one So as long as you can say this to be so & show it to be true then your path seems clear free of burden I only ask that if your intentions are of real concern that you look carefully from many Ângles free from the restraints of time at how such a tool could be used against an individual You would not won't to contribute to the pain or restrictions of your own slowing progress down The more you learn the more I do to, so the faster we get to where we are going We all never must blame the thinking of the times for mistakes we make blameing it on the times is not an excuse for like minded As I said this is such a tool going our way so see you in history Keep me posted & as always I will be watching Good Luck and May Your Journeys be full to carry you on firstname.lastname@example.com if you need any thoughts...
The 51% Paradox A Human Condition
Scott NeslerMay 5 2012: http://www.dogoodgauge.org/files/media/DoGoodGauge/TED_DGG_In_Lieu_to_a_degree.mp3
Wayne, I've written several emails and a couple essays relating to education and this idea. In the United States a business is protected when it over extends its financial means. An individual is protected when purchasing a home or purchasing object beyond the ability to pay. Bankruptcy laws protect them, but not in the case of a student loan. People should be responsible for their debt, but the cost of a degree is unreasonable. It's unfair to call it a monopoly, but the free market system is not providing a competitive price. What I'm suggesting can work in conjunction with the existing education model. It can provide a more efficient and cost effective alternative in many situations. What is being suggested can be provided at no cost to those with a desire to acquire a higher degree of understanding in lieu of a diploma.
Many courses have a simple formula. Take English Composition. Provided a fundamental set of guidelines the student must find the motivation to iteratively share a creative thought in writing. The teacher's role is to gauge the quality of each iteration and suggest methods for improvement. As a software engineer I suggest such a process is not difficult to duplicate using social media. Actually social media could provide a higher level of motivation to a student to craft the skill of writing.
A second example is a literature course. Given one book, an individual experienced with a book, and a dozen people with a similar desire to read the book, social media could facilitate a superior learning experience. Involving a diverse group participating in such an exercise may provide higher value than a class room of students of a similar age, similar experience, and a goal to acquire a certificate for entering the workforce. The outcome of each exercise could be made available to the public domain providing reference or a guideline for future readers of the book.

Why Is A Murre Egg Pointed And Spotty?
The Common Murre (aka Black Guillemot) is a seabird that lays its eggs on a bare rock ledge on a cliff face. When an egg is accidentally dislodged, its shape causes it to spin in a tight circle, which prevents it from falling off the ledge into the sea.
It has also been proven that the spotted patterns on each Murre egg are distinct and recognizable to the parent, who might perhaps otherwise find it difficult to locate their nest among the hundreds of others in the colony.
