Not a lot of media brouhaha on this story yet and it happened two hours ago. Even here in Cali. I think they got themselves in trouble when they went crazy on the latest Aurora CO shooting only to drop it off the news when it became clear drug/gang activity was involved.If an armed responder stopped this shooter, that would be another reason to report softly.I just have a hard time believing, after their opportunistic hysteria the past few weeks, they wouldn´t be plastering this story everywhere. Something´s not following the narrative, is my suspicion. Click Here if you Like this Comment

Nice analysis and critical thinking Bee.Always ask "beneath the waterline" questions. What ISN´T being said/reported? Why is reporting sparce two hours after the event (and in this day of INSTANT news)? Click Here if you Like this Comment
One problem is that we are giving these idiots too much publicity. Second, this particular incident might have been a personal feud. Third, I am really starting to wonder if there is truly something more insidious behind this...I wouldn´t say outright "mind control" per se, but definitely influence of some kind (e.g. through media messages, music, school, etc.) that is creating these situations in order to use the outcome to crack down on guns and freedoms.

I saw a little more info at Yahoo, but take it with a grain of salt. It was a shotgun that was used, not a semi-auto. The kid had two people he was planning to kill but was talked into giving up the gun by a teacher.Again, this is Yahoo news I´m talking about here along with a poster from the area, so take it with a grain of salt. Seems like the kid didn´t plan on a rampage in the first place. But if he had, none of the proposed gun laws would have stopped him. Click Here if you Like this Comment

The press is waiting for the fax from the White House on the meme to use. I have a pretty good guess the spin they are going to use, but I don´t want to risk giving it to them, let them figure it out for themselves.By the way we have to stop letting them twist the language this is an "attempted murder," not a "shooting."

ST. LOUIS (January 10, 2013)-- Barge operators credit the hustle by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for averting a potentially crippling shutdown of the Mississippi River.
Shippers said the Corps of Engineers has done all it can to keep the river open.
The efforts included ongoing work to rid a stretch of the river south of St. Louis of treacherous bedrock, and the agency's release of water from lakes to raise the Mississippi's levels.
The president of Cargill's shipping arm, Rick Calhoun, said, "By hook and by crook it hasn't gotten as bad as we thought."
Barge operators since November had worried that the Mississippi might shrink to a level that would force restrictions on how much cargo barges can carry, effectively halting shipping on the river.

When it comes to finding the best deals on clothing, many people will start with shopping the clearance racks at their favorite store. While that is a great way to find clothing that you like for less, there is something even better that you can do.
Shopping at thrift stores makes it possible for you to get higher quality clothing for less. Often people will get rid of items that they have never even worn. Even if the clothes are gently worn, it is a great idea to buy something for cheap that you know is going to last awhile.
Some people are willing to pay full price because of their belief that it is a status symbol to do so. Some discover that it is not our clothing that makes us who we are, but who we are on the inside. Being able to save money is a skill that can benefit those who do it well when the economy is not doing very well. Those who can spend less to get what they need, are able to have money to do other things, like make investments.
You do not have to sacrifice style either. When you go to the thrift store, you can find articles of clothing that are considered to be classic pieces. Adding to these foundational pieces is easy to do. If you already have a style of your own, then you will know exactly what you are looking for. Many people find that looking for a great deal is a fun adventure.

Head for the beach without leaving the city! Urban beaches are a trend that just keeps growing, and Amsterdam is no exception. With a variety of city beaches - including one on top of a building overlooking the city - Amsterdam offers a refreshing twist on the traditional sun and sand experience during the summer.
City sand
Strand West is open all year round, though the outdoor activities only get going when the sun shines. Located on a broad sandy expanse with a panoramic view of the IJ, you can laze in a hammock, sip a cocktail, snack on tapas or play a game of beach volleyball. On the opposite side of the city, Blijburg aan Zee is a huge stretch of sand located in the new IJburg district on the eastern edge of Amsterdam. It's one of the few city beaches where you can actually swim, and has a bohemian vibe, with loungy cafés offering drinks and snacks. In the evening, you might find campfires, DJs or even live bands. Blijburg kicks off this summer season this year on 5 May (Liberation Day).
Hip & trendy
Hidden behind the RAI Convention Centre, it's hard to imagine a more unlikely location for a beach! Strand Zuid is made up of a collection of cafés and restaurants connected by a boardwalk and strips of sand. If you're spending the day on the water, you can even tie up your boat near Strand Zuid. Relax in the lounge chairs, sip cold drinks and sample great food as DJs play the decks. Strand Zuid is one of the first city beaches to open each year, and in 2012 they will open their doors to the public in the last week of April.
Floating swimming pool
Located near the Rivierenbuurt neighbourhood, BadBuiten is the first floating pool in the Netherlands. BadBuiten is a small pool, but makes for a great day out with the kids and offers magnificent views over the Amstel River. In front of the pool you'll find a large terrace where you can have a drink or some snacks. During the summer season, BadBuiten is open is open on weekdays from 16:00 to 22:00, and from 11:00 to 23:00 on the weekend. Weather permitting, BadBuiten is scheduled to open again in the beginning of May.
Amsterdam from above
Science centre NEMO is a massive green boat-like structure in the centre of Amsterdam. BovenNEMO (literally meaning on top of NEMO) is located on its unmistakable sloping roof, offering some of the most spectacular views of the city centre. There you can enjoy a fun day with the family, with lots of activities especially for the kids. In 2012, BovenNEMO is open from 27 June to 4 September, from 12:00 to 19:00 daily. Entrance is free of charge.
Take a dip in the pool
If the sun is beating down and you're desperate to swim, there are also two large outdoor swimming pools in the city that make for an excellent day out with the kids. Located next to the Flevopark, the Flevoparkbad offers a 50-metre pool for swimming laps, plus a shallow pool for smaller children. The Flevoparkbad is open this year from 28 April to 2 September, from 10:00 to 17:30 each day. The Mirandabad is another great outdoor option, also featuring a 50-metre pool and a wading pool for the kids. The pool is surrounded by a park with plenty of space to spread out your towel and catch some rays. Indoors, the Mirandabad is a children's paradise with a wave pool and long twisty slide. The outdoor area is open in 2012 from 1 May to 31 August. The indoor pool is open year-round.

The muse – I'm calling this one done!
So here it is, did some extra tweaks in the anatomy about a month ago. Looked at it again today to clean up eyes and color balance and I'm done with this piece. I can feel my brain is saturated from working on this character and I think I brought it as far as it could go (actually I would redo the hair once again….). On to the next challenge!

Glenbard D-87 partners with DuPage NAACP to increase inclusion, student achievement
Gilda Ross knows it takes more than a school district to help a child succeed.

It looks like more of us are getting calls at home from telemarketers? Complaints are up, especially for those automatic, or what they call "robo" calls. But what about the "do-not-call" list? Are telemarketers ignoring it?
When the phone rings at Larry Willis's house, chances are it's not a call he wants to answer.
"My reaction is, I don't have time, how did you get my number?" says Willis.
Willis is talking about the growing number of telemarketing calls that are interrupting his work and meals.
"I would say in the last six months it was zero, then all of a sudden it started to pick up again," says Willis.
Calls are from people offering Willis a new credit card or asking about his house.
"You've lived here for 13 years, how's your mortgage, is your house upside down? So a lot of mortgage calls," says Willis.
Steven Osinski is a marketing professor. He says telemarketing calls generate millions of dollars every year, but what about the do not call list? It's still the law, but Osinski says enforcement is spotty, and really doesn't stop the people behind the phone calls.
"You capture somebody when they are at home. If you have the right offer and the right marketing message, it goes all the time," says Osinski. "From their angle, they're going, you know what? we may get slapped on the hand down the road but we're generating a lot of business with these home calls, we can't abandoned it so lets keep calling."
Now not all telemarketing calls break the law. You can legally get a call from a politician, a survey or someone you've done business with in the past.
"Lately it's been political stuff," says Willis.
Those calls could easily double in the next few months. In the mean time, what can consumers do? Hang up, demand the telemarketer stop calling, and continue to complain to federal authorities. But most people are taking a more passive approach to these annoying calls, they are just not picking up.
"My wife and I have given up answering our home phone cause we know the only people that are going to call our landline right now are basically telemarketers," says Osinski.
Now we've had the do-not-call list for nearly a year now. There are more than 200 millions phone numbers on the list, but telemarketers much check the list to know who's on it. By one report, fewer companies are checking that list.

Hello zeeshan,
I can help you if you're having a mold design problem but I'd prefer that you post pictures on the forum instead of a file to download. These days one never knows if the download has a virus or other computer damaging materials so I never download these type of files.
Post some images, tell me what you need and I'll reply.

Bipolar Disorder Symptoms
My freshman year of college… Can I have a redo please?
My freshman year of college… Can I have a redo please?
It is August, and around this time for the last 9 years, I think back to 2002 and getting ready to start my freshman year of college in a new state, new town, and not knowing a single soul. Little did I know how life changing or should I say life altering and an unforeseen disaster it would be.
Is a new beginning really possible?
Hi, my name is Kristian. I am 27 years old and reside in Maryland. Living with cerebral palsy and bipolar disorder, I enjoy movies, music, adventures and exploring, cooking, anything creative, spending time with my family, and trying new things. In 2009, I graduated with my B.S degree in Psychology from the University of Maryland, University College with a 3.9 GPA. Everything about life right now can be described as an unexpected, first time experience. I have a background in education, art, health, and human services.
Single Parent
Being a parent is hard. Let's face it, there is no instruction manual. Goodness knows we're all going to make our share of mistakes. It's just a part of life. As hard as parenting is, usually you have a partner to help you thru the tough times. It's even harder when you're a single parent. Single mom, single dad it doesn't matter. It's just hard. There is no one to turn to in the middle of a bad day and say I need a break or I can't handle this right now. It's all on you.
Please welcome new blogger, Bret!
Bret A. Warshawsky is an independent writer, activist, artist and aspiring entrepreneur. He was published for the first time last year in a book with world-renowned author and transformational speaker Lisa Nichols, sharing his story of the journey in transforming mental illness into a blessing through passion. Currently, you can find him on his blog at http://bretawarshawsky.com/ and Facebook.
Why I Stopped Drinking
It's been 31 days since my last drink. Our doctors tell us not to drink. Even Lil' Wayne raps in his special guest appearance on the Weezer song "Can't Stop Partying" - "..party like tomorrow is my funeral, gotta stop mixing alcohol with pharmaceuticals." I tried several times to stop drinking, but it was terribly hard. Ladies and gentleman, I'm a beer/bourbon snob. I love a nice craft brew and a single barrel bourbon (prefer Maker's Mark), but sometimes I'd be just happy with some Kentucky Gentleman.
This one is for any of you who have been hospitalized. Have any of you ever had the dream of being either back in the hospital or having the dream of family members threaten to admit you? This dream would occur for me more frequently when I drank alcohol. I steer clear of the alcohol now, not by means of morality, but so that my medicine may always work properly. Man do I love a nice bourbon or craft brew. In fact I recently emailed the Boston Beer Company (Sam Adams) and asked if they would consider brewing a non-alcoholic. But I digress.

Chip 'n Dipped
Tempted by the lure of chocolate is Mike Reynolds, 20, of Middle Island. "I'm looking at the milk chocolate cream cheese graham," Reynolds says, scanning the glass case.
Reynolds' friend, Amanda Mueller, 19, of Patchogue, has her eyes on a dark chocolate raspberry cream, a treat she'd sampled on a previous visit. "It was delicious," she says.
At the register, you can pick up handmade chocolate bars with scrumptious names like Dark Chocolate Sea Salted Almond Bar. Wrapped in gold paper, they're made during the day inside a glass-enclosed room near the store entrance.

The Colorado Housing Stabilization and Mortgage Accountability Act
policy choices we make now regarding loan servicing and loan
modifications have the potential to influence both the duration and the
severity of the economic crisis." -- Center For Responsible lending (2)
Bill aims to give homeowners the right to ask who's taking their house --Denver Post
All Colorado Homeowners deserve fair and honest treatment in the foreclosure process, and a fair opportunity to save their homes when an alternative to foreclosure is possible. HB 1249, "The Colorado Housing Stabilization and Mortgage Accountability Act," would put in place measures to promote transparency and fairness in the foreclosure and loan modification process for all Colorado mortgage servicers. It is time for the
Colorado Legislature to take action to address the significant issues
affecting the economic well-being of Colorado families through
meaningful foreclosure reform. For a PDF of the bill click here. For Press Click Here.
What this bill will do?
The latest data shows that in 2010, lenders filed a record 3.8 million foreclosures and that 5.7 million homeowners were at imminent risk of losing their homes (1). It is projected that between 10 and 13 million foreclosures will have occurred by the time this crisis subsides.
Modeling after two key bills championed by the California State Attorney General, the Campaign to End Unjust Foreclosure supports the following reforms to Colorado's broken foreclosure system:
Restrict Dual Tracking: Under current law, borrowers can be processed for loan modifications and foreclosures simultaneously, resulting in many borrowers who are negotiating for a loan modification wrongfully losing their homes. This bill will ensure that borrowers who submit a completed loan modification application will get a "yes or no" decision from their servicers, with an explanation, before they commence the foreclosure process.
Require Proper and Accurate Foreclosure Documentation: Requires servicers to review reliable evidence to substantiate the borrowers' default and their right to foreclose. In addition, all recorded foreclosure documents must be properly reviewed and verified for accuracy.
Giver Borrowers an
Accountable Point of Contact: Requires servicers to give borrowers who
are potentially eligible for a loan modification an accountable point of
contact that will provide clear, accurate information to borrowers and
coordinate all documents associated with loan modifications.
Provide Strong but Fair Accountability: To ensure that servicers have a
strong incentives to comply with these provisions, the bill provides
that borrowers may bring legal actions to courts, but only for material
violations of the law. Judges can provide only injunctive relief,
requiring a servicers to stop the foreclosure sale and correct any
previous violations.
Why is this bill needed?
According to a recent Report from the National Consumer Law Center, servicers are:
- Sending homes to foreclosure sale while homeowners are still in the process of trying to modify their loans.
- Denying loan modification to millions of homeowners through a process of calculated chaos
- Losing documents en masse
- Failing to follow promise time frames and failing to notify homeowners of reasons for servicing actions
- Giving invalid or blatantly false reasons for denials
- Providing ineffective review of decisions
- Foreclosing while reviewing for modification or while the borrower was complying with trial modification
Restore Integrity to the Foreclosure Process:
Prior to 2006 – Colorado law was simple: Foreclosing parties had to provide original documents in order to take someone's house: notes, deeds of trust, and their assignments. HB06-1387 created a loophole in foreclosure statute. The result, foreclosure attorneys can now simply attest in writing that their client, a bank or other lender, actually possesses the note or deed of trust to a house they are foreclosing. For the first time a bank no longer has to provide an original deed of trust or other note in order to foreclose See SECTION 7. 38-38-101 through SECTION 12. 38-38-106
Prior to 2006, banks held on to mortgages. After 2006, buying and selling of loans became common practice. When the housing bubble burst, banks and other loan originators provided mortgages and then sold the loans. The buyers of the loans bundled them into securities and sold them to other investors, making it difficult to determine who actually owns the mortgage on an individual home. In 2006, Colorado had more foreclosures than any other state. This was the argument used to support the need to "streamline" the process and push HB06-1387.
Stabilize our Housing Market: In CO, 20% of all homes are underwater and we continue to be in the top 10 for foreclosure sales nationally. Pueblo, Adams, Arapahoe, Mesa and Park counties continues to see increases. It is estimated that homes in foreclosure experience a 22% decline in value.3 Home values are based on sales of surrounding homes – so the foreclosure sales prices are directly impacting surrounding home values. This loss of wealth is the number one drag on our economy – our families no longer have retirement savings, funds to pay for tuition for their children, capitol to hold on to or start businesses, or savings to pay medical bills. Foreclosure prevention alternatives, like loan modifications, help families stay in their homes and return more money to investors. Foreclosure should be the last resort – we need to help the majority of people stay in their homes to stave off all the damaging effects that foreclosures have on our communities.

Illinois-Iowa Girl Scouts camps may close
CEDAR RAPIDS (AP) — The board of directors for the Girls Scouts of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois has scheduled a vote on closing and selling all four camps in eastern Iowa.
The board vote is scheduled for March 28. The proposal affects Camp Conestoga in Scott County, Camp Little Cloud in Dubuque County, Camp L-Kee-Ta in Des Moines County and Camp Tahigwa in Allamakee County.
A press release from the Girls Scouts group says the recommendation follows five years of research and increased camp marketing efforts.

My 9800GTX is overclocked to about GTX+ speeds. I get 4200 for 511s, 6600 for 353s, 5600 for 1888s, and various other numbers in between. Here's a thread (had to find the sucker) that has a nice database in it. The actual link to the database is here. It seems kind of large though, lots of detail but not too easy to navigate. At any rate its got tons of numbers.
IMHO, I'd wait for another deal on a GTS250 like Galaxy had. Even so, there were some deals that I saw recently for $100 after MIR. Doesn't it also make sense that when the GTX300's come out that the prices across the board will be driven downward? Even the new ATI's are less than a month away, which should have an affect across the board. Who knows.
Well Im looking for three 9800 gtx or gts250. Lemme know if ya run across a good deal. Might even be tenpted for three GTX 260. Really like those gts 250 I got from Mike run cool and kick out the points.
I sold 3-250's and 10-260's and 3-9600GSO and 3-8800gt's. I am downsizing and made a good move for the existing motherboard cpu setup that I will continue running. I had 48 crunchers with 18 fold cards, I have been out of work for 10 months and the 9800GTs are the best move for me. Also the Galaxy 250s run hotter than the Evga cards that I sold. ok
Mike, did you see this for $90 after promo code EMCLWNL48 with free shipping? This appears to be the newer, lower power version, (no pci-e power connector) so overclocking may be limited.
Got some strange error but I closed the client before getting the information from the log file It said something like: Unable to read work/XXXX.dat (for 3-4 different WUs) then- UNSTABLE MACHINE PAUSE FOR 24HRS Closing and restarting the client displayed "Attempt 1 to get work failed, waiting to retry" 10 sec later it was folding again. My 260 is only +20core and +100 shader seemingly stable (36hr folding, 30mins furmark, 3 runs 3dVantage, no issue). Anything to be worried about or just the client tripping up momentarily?
Check your overclocks. The new work units will cause errors until we find the "sweet spots" for our overclocks.
Alright, I will lower to 602/1350/999 (590/1296/999 stock) and see if it happens again. It really seemed like it was agreeing before
check your temps. I have one 260 that is going batty with the new work units. Found her pegged at 105C
I leave HWMonitor open to see my max temps whenever I am away or asleep. The card has not gone over 72C in the past 24-36hours, and today was the coolest day of the week- only 86F! Im watching it complete a 353 real quick before I have to step out, seems fine, chugging along 7200PPD @ 62C.
Run my 9800gtx non + at 738/1782/1152 by rivatuners sensor. Never goes above 60c. Folds 24/7 non-stop. Edit: it has never crashed either, it just keeps folding!
I really think it was just an error. Wasn't there some issues earlier today with some people not being able to retrieve WUs, maybe this stemmed from that?
Those 9800GTX are great folders. Next to my 260's they are my best card. They always run cool and rarely ever crash.
Hey guys, I got a problem. Whenever I close folding to play a game, quit the game, and then launch folding, my card goes into low power 3D mode. Which obviously gives me terrible PPD. I'm using the console client and I've never had this problem before.. Thanks
guys i have a question on folding, I just downloaded F@H installer and tried it, now how can i integrate it on TPU team? i mean i only do it on anonymous what team number should i use? and passkey? i have no idea on what im doing i just run it one night then i have a funky score
guys i have a question is the temperature just normal for my card? cause usually when im gaming it only reaches 68 C highest, I just joined folding but unfortunately i have to pause first because my card reaches 74 C is it just a normal temp? or is it a driver issue that causes overheating BTW i scored 25 today
Do not keep the viewer open for more than a minute. It kills your production because the card is trying to display the graphics and not render the protein. It may even crash your system when using the veiwer.
no wonder my card temps are high alright sir will do im gonna leave it close while folding tonight and see how many scores i can gain
Your temps won't improve too much, that's about normal. Don't worry, 80 degrees Celsius is pretty much cakewalk for today's GPUs. Folding should never take your card over 80 though. It never has gotten over 78 for me, unless it was my doing. You should expect to see anywhere from 64-74 on average, with some of the hottest work units bumping you up a bit. Your location might make these values change due to tropical heat.

Frank Lampard is looking forward to seeing Eden Hazard in a Blue shirt after the Belgian turned down moves to Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham
Chelsea star Frank Lampard is delighted at the prospect of seeing the Eden Hazard alongside him in a Blue shirt.
The Belgian revealed that he was going to sign for the Blues via twitter, turning down the likes of Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham in the process.
"It is very exciting to hear the news," Lampard said.
"I haven't seen so much of the French football but everyone I speak to says he is a very top player, a very top young player.
"If he can bring that youth and hunger and ability into our team, then he'll be very welcome.
"Joe Cole knows him very well and spent a year at Lille with him.
"Talking about those type of players, Joe is very honest and knowledgeable and he has been very impressed with him."
Hazard joins fellow Belgian Vincent Kompany and Thomas Vermaelen at leading Premier League clubs and Lampard is noticing the fact that Belgian football is improving.
"We were talking over lunch about the quality players Belgium have now," the England midfielder added.
"Maybe in recent years they haven't been seen as one of the top nations.
"But when you think of the quality players playing around England and Europe at the moment in their team, they are going to provide a very tough game for us."

J.C. Penney Co.said Chief Financial Officer Michael Dastugue will leave this week, the latest management shake-up as the company undergoes a vast operational overhaul.
Dastugue, who spent 15 months in his post, will be replaced temporarily by Chief Operating Officer Michael Kramer while a search is conducted.
Dastugue's departure was expected amid all of the upper-level executives who have departed since Ron Johnson became chief executive in November. Johnson, who formerly ran Apple Inc.'s retail stores, is aiming to mold the stodgy department store into a place of excitement and innovation by turning Penney's floorplan into an array of shops-within-shops and pretty much cutting out promotional selling.
As he has moved forward, Johnson has been populating Penney's upper ranks with former colleagues. Kramer had spent time as chief financial officer of Apple's retail unit, along with serving for three years as president and chief financial officer of Kellwood Co. Other Apple alumunis who have joined Penney include Chief Talent Officer Daniel Walker and Chief Technology Officer Kristen Blum. President Michael Francis came from another of Johnson's prior employers, Target Corp., where he was marketing chief.
News of Dastugue's departure came a week after Penney said it was letting go 600 employees at its Plano, Texas, headquarters and another 300 as it closed a call center in Pittsburgh. Johnson said at the time Penney will operate more like "a start-up," cutting layers of management and creating more accountability.
"We thank Michael for his many years of service," Johnson said in a statement. "Over his 20-year career, Michael served in a variety of finance roles of increasing responsibility, culminating with his appointment as chief financial officer."
Dastugue took over as the financial chief in January 2011 and has worked for the company since 1991. He previously worked as senior vice president of finance with responsibility for the financial strategies of all Penney business units. Before then, he was the company's treasurer, and has also served as director of property development. He joined J.C. Penney from Arthur Andersen, where he was a senior accountant.
J.C. Penney plans to reduce annual costs by $900 million by the end of 2013, including $200 million in savings from corporate headquarters, $400 million in store operations and $300 million in advertising. The retailer has been in heated competition with rivals such as Macy's Inc. and Kohl's Corp.
In February, J.C. Penney said it swung to a loss in its fiscal fourth quarter, as the retailer shouldered heavy costs tied to its revamped pricing strategy.
Shares were recently up 3% at $34.19. The stock is down 2.7% so far in 2012.

I heard on the news that parents were mad because the police officers had tasers. Parents were also mad because their kids had to have clear backpacks. The police officers have wands they use to make sure nobody has a knife or a gun. On teenager at a high school had a hunting knife and attacked the officer and in self defense the offifcer tased the student. The parents are having a uproar over this, they are saying that if the school or officers had any respect they would not wand them or make them carry clear bags. The student got expelled and the officers alright. What do ya'll think of these rules? I am a highschool student myself and I think its a good idea. You can never be to careful with these gangster people today. Last edited on Fri Aug 29th, 2008 03:04 pm by Dixie Girl ____________________ War Means Fighting And Fighting Means Killing - N. B.

Dixie Girl, You have brought up points that have, for the past three years, utterly broken my heart, as both A Parent of a Young Woman Your Age, and also as Someone Whom Believes in Civil Rights. I think all this deserves more discussion. We don't really need these, but could you give us more facts about the specific incident that you are relating? As a parent, I have been called over three times in the past two years to be told that my daughter is "in lock-down". Each time turned out to be a prank, but as a parent, the pain is unbelievable! Please, tell us more about your experiences and thoughts on this subject. Thanks, JoanieReb |

In the old dayspulling a stupid stunt like bringing a knife to school would have gotten you punched out by any number of teachers (all of whom were called coach). And then you'd have to face your father when you got home. I don't know when things changed, or even started to change, but they have. And I don't envy anyone who has kids in school these days. From a great niece, I hear that some colors may not be worn--gangs. From Dixie Girl we have police officers carrying tasers. Why in God's name do we have to have police officers in schools? Seems like the good old days, although they may not have been that good, were somewhat simpler than they are now. ole |

I took Young Miss shopping today, she found a beautiful new set-of-clothes (what I used to call an outfit); then, I found a hat that set it off to a tee, and she agreed, but said it was a waste, as she couldn't wear it to school - all hats are now considered "gang-related". |

I think many of the kids in high school today need to be tasered on a regularly basis and if the parents complain, they need to be tasered too . I know, flippant and tongue in cheek on my part but the real culprits in the problem will be punished by my solution. |

School districts are in a no-win situation. Parents scream about clear backpacks, metal detectors and wands. They'll probably sue claiming violation of their kid's rights. First time they stop all the security precautions and some idiot sneaks a knife in and stabs someone, the parents will sue for not protecting their children. So what's the school district supposed to do? |

Here lately there was a bomb threat in a middle school and a high school. The threats were pulled off by two brothers. They were both expelled. I understand why we need tasers. The officer in question was stabbed several times, one of which almost hit his heart. Most teens think they have a right to do what they want. I always ask my mama for advise and listen to her cause she knows whats best. Clear bags are the least of our problems today. If people cant deal with this they may as well drop out. ____________________ War Means Fighting And Fighting Means Killing - N. B.

I tend to agree with you but I put more of the burden on the person who is non-compliant rather than the authorities who should expect a modicum of compliance to maintain order. Why would you, for example, refuse to leave an area and go to the principal's office when an officer of the law is telling you to do that? |

No, I'd want to see his warrant but there is a difference between the public streets and the public schools. But if he became a jerk about it I'd comply and report his behavior to his superiors. The schools have seemed to adopted an incorrect attitude that everyone has a right to attend public school and that just isn't so. If you are on the grounds of schools you play by their rules that is why freedom of speech may be abridged in the public schools too. |

Bama, no he doesn't have a right to taze you, but I think you are overstating the case here a bit. If you respectfully but firmly told the officer that unless he had a search warrant to look into your fanny pack, he wasn't getting into it, then he pretty well doesn't have a leg to stand on. The rogue cop image is always intriguing but most often non-existent (and I was a reporter who usually had most cops against me because I often pointed out when they screwed up). As far as the school situation goes, any kid with a knife is dangerous. The idiot is lucky the cop didn't blow his brains out. I'm sorry but in this case I don't feel sorry for the kid. While some may rightfully argue that zero-tolerance policies can be taken to the extreme, they are well known in every school district in the country. No one can claim they didn't know it was against the law or school policy to bring a knife into the building. Cops are put into dangerous situations every day, and most do not over-react. Some do. This one didn't. Best Rob |

booklover I couldnt agree more. What you said is completely true. This cop was trying to defend himself so he had every right to tase this kid. ____________________ War Means Fighting And Fighting Means Killing - N. B.

Bama I have to disagree I lived several years in Rock Island... a far cry from upscale burbs of Chicago but an area w/ some really scary areas. THe Police I knew, and they were many were pretty decent guys. Yeah there are always a couple nutters in the mix but they are a minority wether in Brooklyn, Chicago or down home USA. There are good ones & bad ones and being as closely connected to what those guys have to do & put up w/... they deserve the benefit of the doubt. As to the knife... cop should have put two to the body one to the head. The media & hollywood like to say there are always non lethal ways to deal w/ an assailant: shoot em in the leg, taze em. I've seen the after effect of a coked up 110 lbs junkie who ripped the door off a squad car... sorry some you have to put down and a policeman has the right to defend himself. One call to drop it, the next if the enemy does not comply is to drop them before they drop you. I still teach my daughter & SD students to run TO the police or fire dept not away from them. They'll help more often than not. |

First let me say as a retired state trooper I may not be as objective as some on the direction this thread has taken. I now carry a tazer and a side arm. I am an adult probation officer. I also know there have been some news articles alleging that tazers have caused death. There have been no confirmed deaths as a result of being tazed. The suspects abuse of alcohol and drugs along with physical condition may be more to blame than a non lethal aplicaion of electicity. Tazers use less amps than paddles used to restart hearts. I have not used a tazer in the field. I was tazed as part of my training. I feel it is preferable to impact weapons, pepper spray, or physically subduing unco-operative suspects. Less probability of injury to the suspect and the officer. I have had deadly force used against me and I have used deadly force. In my experience 26+ years with the last ten in Highway drug interdiction most officers are in law enforcement to protect and serve. Physicians and clergy have a higher rate of undesirables removed from their positions. I do beleive in concealed carry by honest citizens. Electonic searching, serveilance and officers in school are there to try to provide a safe place for education. I agree with the earlier post that much of the problem rests with the parents or lack therof. |

Council offering £25k payout to tenants who downsize homes
Published by Max Salsbury for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Communities, Finance, Local Government
Council offering £25k payout to tenants who downsize homes
Camden Council is offering up to £25,000 for tenants to downsize to smaller homes - in an effort to house larger families desperate for accommodation, and to mitigate the impact of the bedroom tax in April 2013.
The offer - which will run till March 2013 - will see tenants who give up a four-bed home receive a £15,000 payout, a five-bed home £20,000, and a six-bed home £25,000.
Over 5,000 overcrowded households in the London borough have applied for council housing, 798 of which are waiting for a home with five or more bedrooms. However, only one in five of Camden's 1,380 four or more bedroom council homes became available for let last year.
Studies have shown that children in overcrowded homes face a 25% increase in risk of ill health and disability and are likely to have lower educational achievement.
From next April, social tenants with one spare bedroom will have their housing benefit reduced by 15%, whilst those with two or more spare will face a 25% cut. This will work out as a £21 or £36 per week shortfall in a four-bedroom Camden tenancy.
The Leader of Camden Council, Councillor Sarah Hayward, said: "Overcrowded living conditions often result in poor health and educational problems for children. Under-occupation of our council-owned homes is a real issue and I'm aware that it's a sensitive subject for tenants who have lived in a home all their lives and may not be keen to move.
"Some of our tenants have been waiting for many years in overcrowded conditions for a move to a larger home.
"In the last year only one tenant chose to downsize their five-bed home, but we hope that our pilot scheme offering realistic cash and other incentives will now encourage more tenants to choose to do so."
Camden Council's cabinet member for housing, Councillor Julian Fulbrook, added: "We estimate that over 5,000 families in Camden are overcrowded and that 60% of our council tenants in larger homes are under-occupiers. We hope that our offer will encourage some of these tenants to think about moving."

Hi all, can anyone point me in the right direction in respect of my washing machine problem. I live in Spain and the machine is a firstline (carrefour) front loader.
For a while now the water has not been heating, made evident by the washing coming out dirtier than when it went in.
I tested the element and it works ok, there is, I think, a thermostat next to the element. I get continuity across the black in/ black out terminals but don't know how else to test the thermostat. there are 2 additional blue cable terminals on it, no idea what they are.
During a cycle, I`m sure there is power to the thermostat, can anyone give me an idiots guide to testing the thermostat properly.
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I can attache a photo on here but I have taken some I can forward to an email address if required
If it is the thermostat, the next problem I will have is locating a spare.
Thanks in anticipation

Around baseball: Indians sign Bourn to four-year, $48 million deal

The Cleveland Indians signed free-agent outfielder Michael Bourn to a four-year, $48 million contract, with a $12 million club option for a fifth year.
The signing of Bourn, who must pass a physical, continues general manager Chris Antonetti's relentless reshaping of the Indians since the end of the 2012 season.
Bourn is the second big free-agent signing of the winter by Antonetti. In December, he signed Nick Swisher to a four-year, $56 million deal. That means the Dolan family has spent $104 million on two free agents this winter.
The signing of Bourn will cost the Indians their competitive-balance lottery pick between the second and third rounds of the June draft.
Swisher's signing cost the Indians their second pick, but their first-round pick is intact, and so is their regular third-round pick.
Bourn, 30, hit .274, with nine homers, 57 RBI, 26 doubles, 10 triples and 42 steals for the Atlanta Braves last year.
The addition of Bourn, a center fielder/leadoff hitter, could allow the Indians to move Swisher to first base, Mark Reynolds to designated hitter and employ a swift outfield of Michael Brantley, Drew Stubbs and Bourn. Last year, Bourn played 153 games in center field.
— The Plain Dealer
• Outfielder Shin-Soo Choo and the Cincinnati Reds agreed to a one-year contract for $7.375 million. Choo made $4.9 million last season with the Indians, who traded him to the Reds as part of a three-team deal in December.
The Reds plan to start him in center field in place of Stubbs — who went to the Indians — and bat him leadoff.
• Los Angeles Angels right-handed closer Ryan Madson, who was on the Reds' roster last year, has elbow soreness in his rehabilitation from reconstructive surgery.
Madson, who hasn't pitched since 2011, said that he suffered a setback while throwing on Feb. 1 .

"A friend of mine showed me how to make this. It's incredibly EASY and you'll have so many people asking for the recipe! This is also a great pasta salad if you're looking for something without mayo. Add or delete vegetables as you desire!" — mhassler

1 (12 ounce) package rotini pasta
1 (12 ounce) package tri-color rotini pasta
6 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
1 cucumber, chopped
1/2 cup chopped purple onion
1 (16 ounce) bottle ranch dressing
1 (16 ounce) bottle Italian-style salad dressing
loved it! I added mozzarella balls and sliced black olive for a personal touch...great recipe!
This might not have plain mayo but it does have Ranch dressing, which has mayo - or at least it should be made with mayonnaise. This would probably be better made with home made Ranch dressing but the bottled dressing just didn't taste very good in this pasta salad.

This wash delicious! I made enough to serve forty and they were scrapping the pan. I also added brocolli it was yummy!!
This is almost exactly the way I make my pasta salad. I only use Italian dressing (not a fan of ranch) I also add cubed ham or chunks of kielbasa. Also add chunks of cheese. Usually whatever I have on hand. I like a white and a yellow for the taste and color. Always gets raves.
I loved it... I changed up though cause I'm scared of tomatoes. I used the cucumber, sliced pepperoni, and olives... it was awesome oh I also used fresh grated parmesean cheese.
Everything it says it is! Wonderful!
This is wonderful and I have made it several times now :)
I just didn't like the combo of Italian & Ranch dressings. It just wasn't for us.
