LAKE PLACID — For Lake Placid Police Officer Mitch Cooper there’s little doubt that if the officer involved in the Ferguson, Mo., shooting incident wore a body camera the situation would have been resolved much more quickly.
When asked if he would want to be wearing a camera in a similar situation, Cooper said, “Absolutely.”
In reality, Cooper wears one every day. He uses it for traffic investigations, responding to domestic situations and when doing interviews, among other things.
“I don’t see where it would hurt any agency to have them,” he said.
Fortunately, Cooper hasn’t been in the situation where he was forced to shoot someone, as is what the officer in Ferguson, Mo., has said was the case.
And apparently many others besides Cooper believe that police wearing body cameras would prevent such controversies.
According to the USA Today website, more than 100,000 people have signed a petition regarding such cameras. The petition asks that the White House “look into requiring all state, county and local police to wear lapel cameras.”
The petition also states that the law “shall be made in an effort to not only detour police misconduct (i.e. brutality, profiling, abuse of power) but to ensure that all police are following procedure and to remove all question from normally questionable police encounters as well as help to hold all parties within a police investigation accountable for their actions.”
Lake Placid Police Department began having its officers using body cameras about four months ago. But the Highlands County Sheriff’s Office and the Sebring Police Department have no immediate plans to follow.
Sebring Police Commander Steve Carr said that its possible that in light of the current discussion of body cameras, the topic will come up during a future strategic planning meeting. But even if the police department decides to go that route, “it comes down to who is going to pay for it,” he said.
The Police Department has cameras inside patrol cars and that has helped shield officers against false allegation of misconduct, he said.
In one case, a man arrested claimed that the police officer took money from him, but that couldn’t be the case, Carr said.
Mark Schrader, chief deputy of the Highlands County Sheriff’s Office, said he doesn’t oppose the idea of body cameras, but said that cost is an issue.
Schrader said the sheriff’s office will probably discuss body cameras in the not-too-distant future. In-car cameras have helped protect law enforcement from false complaints, he said.
So far, Cooper who has been a law enforcement officer for a year, said no complaints have been filed on him.
He said he believes such cameras are especially helpful in traffic stops and during volatile domestic call responses where sometimes even the victim may attack an officer. Cooper said he can also set it so that he could hold the camera around a corner and see the view on his cellphone, thereby increasing his safety.
“It’s just one more tool,” he said. You can never have too many of those things.”

‘Seniors, including me, to blame for India debacle’
Wellington: Dejected after the embarrassing ODI series whitewash against India, New Zealand skipper Daniel Vettori on Monday said senior players, including himself, will have to take the blame for the debacle.
“It’s about players standing up and performing, Vettori told ‘ONE News’ on the team’s return to the country after a 0-5 drubbing in India.
“If we look at the reasons for the losses being because of selection or management structure we are absolving the players and myself included - so the players need to stand up,” said the talismanic leg-spinner, who has been leading the side since 2007.
Set to take a break to nurse a sore back, Vettori rejected suggestions that his multiple roles of being a captain, selector and key all-rounder were affecting the team’s power balance.
Vettori said his teammates are “comfortable” with his multiple roles but conceded that the fans might be running out of patience considering that his side has now lost 11 one-day international matches on the trot.
“Yeah, of course I don’t blame them. This team is hurting itself. It’s a miserable time for New Zealand cricket,” Vettori said.
“We did so well in the first couple of Test matches and then to let it all slip in the last Test and the one-day series, it hurts. And the only reason you play the game is to win and the only reason a lot of New Zealanders watch us play is to see us win.
“So we have to give that to them as soon as possible or otherwise it’s going to be really upsetting to a lot of people,” he added.
Kiwi coach Mark Greatbatch echoed Vettori’s views and said the team is “exceptionally disappointed and embarrassed.”

Through the last fifteen years of being involved in the Indian community and interacting with many non-Indian, Western,and white women who struggle with relationships and commitments with their Indian boyfriends, I share the top three mistakes that most of these women make while trying to overcome the challenges of acceptance from their Indian boyfriend or to-be's family.
Many Americans hold an ideal that regardless of social standing, culture, economic status, educational background and religion, love will overcome all these problems and make everything ‘ok.’ This can be true if and only if the couple have extensive discussions before marriage about expectations after marriage and into the long term, such as both partners’ career aspirations, family planning, traditions, values, choosing the place to live among many other variables.
"Woman's place is in the home, but how much she will find there will depend entirely upon how much tradition or her own intelligence and insight have put there, and on the measure in which she spends herself in devotion to her children and to her husband." ----- William Gayley Simpson I forgot a couple more.... Younger generation, like me are different, but stereotype holds true -- Positives of Indian (Hindu / Sikh) men: 3. Thousands of years of generations worth of recessive genetics would all be lost in ONE generation if race mixing occurred. You take a bunch of criminally insane, psychopathic serial killers and have them inbreed for 300 years, and this is what you get.
Majority of Indian men refuse to join a gym and take care of our bodies.
Reasons Why White American Women DON'T Date Indian (Hindu / Sikh) Men: 1. Indian men are usually at the bottem of the totem pole of inter-racial dating. We are generally considered smart, intelligent and family oriented 2. However, this inquiry really stood out: ) brothers and sisters, you are born into one of the most hetero-male dominated culture ever.And we thought our lives as straight men or women were tough?Meeta Kaur, right, is photographed with fellow Sikh women Prabhjot Ahluwalia, left, of Danville, and Sangeeta Luthra, of Los Altos, at Kaur's house in Union City, Calif., on Tuesday, Oct. (Ray Chavez/Bay Area News Group) Meeta Kaur had no idea she would marry, let alone fall in love with another Sikh.A writer and Canadian-born daughter of immigrant Sikh doctors, Kaur, of Union City, was determined to be the community Auntie on a continual global adventure. He was brilliant and handsome -- a kind, calming presence who sang her Sting's "Fields of Gold" and let her be the strong Sikh-American woman she was born to be."While it's great to identify as Indians, we bring something very specific to the table in terms of our spiritual heritage." Sikhism is a monotheistic religion founded during the 15th century in the Punjab region of India by Guru Nanak and developed through the teachings of 10 successive Sikh Gurus.

Ausmus challenged the ruling that Romine had lost the ball on the exchange from his glove to his hand after tagging the base. After consulting with an official at Major League Baseball's Replay Operations center, the umpires confirmed the ruling on the field.
"My understanding of that play is if the ball drops straight down, as a general rule, they assume the player never got the ball to his throwing hand, and that would mean he never had control of it," Ausmus said after the game. "I don't think that was the case here. I think the ball popped up first, which means it had to have been in his hand to pop up."
Both runners were safe, and Romine was charged with an error. Ausmus, who said he did not ask for or receive an explanation, is now 2-for-3 on challenges this season.
"If it's not a force play, if he's not trying to turn a double play there, and he catches the ball there, he's clearly out," Ausmus said. "I don't know what the actual rule is. My understanding doesn't fit with what happened on the field."

5 years in the past, Toyota introduced a $1 billion dedication to its Analysis Institute (TRI) and employed lots of of engineers to work on forward-thinking robotics and AI-driven merchandise, resembling self-driving automobiles. This week, TRI gave journalists an opportunity to attend a digital open-house (a part of which you’ll be able to watch within the video embedded beneath) to see what the labs have been constructing.
The majority of the prototypes proven throughout the occasion are supposed to assist folks out round their properties. The concept of a helper robotic has been round for many years, however it has already begun to realize extra real-world traction, particularly in international locations resembling Japan the place an getting old inhabitants may trigger shortages in assist workers.
TRI’s major dwelling robotic design is constructed to hold from a particular set of tracks constructed into a house’s ceiling. We usually think about robotic butlers rolling or truly strolling round our areas (due at the least in some half to the terrible robotic butler in Rocky IV), however TRI says mounting a bot on the ceiling brings appreciable benefits.
First, the robotic has an easier time studying the structure of the house—it doesn’t have to be taught advanced paths round obstacles to get from one place to a different as a result of there’s a kitchen island or a brand new recliner to get in its means. That additionally means the robotic received’t get beneath foot as somebody tries to navigate round their very own dwelling. TRI’s bot can fold up tightly to the ceiling when it’s not in use, so it successfully takes up zero usable house.
TRI additionally claims that the top-down viewpoint provides the machine a greater standpoint for observing its personal actions and the relative place of various objects it may need to control. Toyota is large on robots studying from restricted units of parameters. So, when you wished the robotic to be taught to wipe down the counter tops, a human may carry out that motion in VR and the robotic would perceive the human’s actions and mimic them in the actual world whereas monitoring variables. When you wished to show the robotic to wash your counter tops, you could possibly do it in VR and it will perceive going ahead. Additionally, by means of what’s referred to as fleet studying, a human may educate one bot, and different networked machines would get the identical classes.
Quite a few joints within the robotic arm enable it to maneuver in all instructions. In truth, a number of the joints are redundant, permitting it to rotate and orient itself in just about any place. The issue, nonetheless, is that the entire home must basically be designed across the machine. Putting in the difficult assist system as an aftermarket product could be an enormous enterprise (although, Toyota at present has no concrete plans to convey this to market but anyway). Ideally, the robotic could be a central a part of the house’s planning earlier than building will get underway.
That idea makes extra sense because it scales to multi-unit buildings like elder care services. If the builders may make the items look practically an identical on the within, engineers may practice one robotic, then share that data with the remainder of the networked machines.
Along with the entire dwelling bot, TRI additionally confirmed off some smaller features of the tech. The bubble gripper, for example, is an automatic claw with delicate pads on its gripping surfaces. A lightweight system initiatives a collection of dots on the within of the pads and a digital camera to watch how the pads deform when it picks up an object. In consequence, the system can analyze—in actual time—the properties of the thing with which it’s interacting. The demo confirmed it stacking a number of delicate wine glasses on high of one another on an unfamiliar floor.
TRI has clearly made appreciable progress on its robotic pursuits and plans to proceed engaged on this sort of tech sooner or later. There’s no laborious plans to make this out there to the general public simply but, however the firm does hope to roll out at the least a few of these applied sciences within the close to future. This section is clearly rising globally as nicely. Again at CES, Samsung debuted a robotic chef idea that makes use of an identical ceiling-mounted design. That’s only a prototype as nicely, for now, however we’re clearly getting ever nearer to the day when your private bot could make you an omelette within the morning.

Heating up your charcoal grill to excessive temperatures is fairly straightforward! However bringing down the temperatures on the identical can change into fairly nerve-racking.
That is not like in fuel grills, the place you simply flip knobs to set your required temperature.

Skilled grill lovers have mastered the artwork of precisely controlling the charcoal grill to make sure they produce completely cooked meals—not undercooked or overcooked—each time they use this type of grill.
On this article, now we have shared the 4 finest strategies skilled barbecuers use to simply management charcoal grill temperatures.
4 Finest Methods to Cool Down Charcoal Grill Throughout Cooking:
#1. Modify the place of grill grates
This is without doubt one of the easiest and handiest strategies of cooling down your charcoal grill if it seems too scorching and also you need to cool it down rapidly.
The method entails adjusting the place of grill grates. The science behind it’s that the nearer the meals is to the coals, the upper the cooking temperatures. The additional it sits from the burning coals, the decrease the temperatures.
Transfer the grate up a number of steps to chill to cook dinner your meals at a decrease temperature. For top-temperature, quicker cooking, transfer the grate nearer to the coals.
Discovering a candy spot could be onerous for the primary few trials but it surely will get higher with time.
Remember the fact that this trick solely works for grills that include adjustable grates. In case your mannequin lacks this characteristic, take a look at the opposite different strategies now we have mentioned under.
#2. Use vents to manage airflow

BUT which vents must you shut?
Charcoal grills normally characteristic high and backside vents:
Backside (decrease) vent

The underside vents are often called consumption dampers and are tasked with offering airflow to the coals.
When you alter this decrease vent opening, you’ll management how a lot oxygen enters the grill and also you’ll be capable of settle down your grill.
However closing this utterly will utterly minimize off your grill oxygen provide and the hearth will simply burn out.
Prime (higher) vent

That mentioned, you’ll be able to’t preserve this vent until you need carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide gases to construct up inside your grill and starve your fireplace off the oxygen they should preserve burning.
We recommend leaving the higher vents totally open and management the airflow utilizing the decrease vents. However you can too experiment together with your grill by doing the precise reverse and see if it helps carry the warmth down.
#3. Create various warmth zones
One other methodology utilized by skilled grill cooks to manage warmth ranges is introducing fireplace zones within the charcoal grill.
You’ll be able to accomplish this by layering your coals in such a manner that they create totally different cooking zones to your meals—like low, medium, and excessive warmth sections.
Create zone 1 (Excessive warmth space): Put two layers of coal on this space and evenly rake them out. That is the best part for sealing and hovering your meals. It’s the place you place any meals that you simply need to cook dinner at excessive temperatures.
Create zone 2 (Medium warmth space): Make a single layer of coals on this space and structure the flat. All of the recipes that should be cooked at a medium warmth temperature ought to sit on this space.
Create zine 3 (Warmth-free/management/protected zone): Don’t lay any single coal on this space as you need it to be utterly free of warmth. This part will act because the resting space to your meat earlier than/after cooking or if the opposite zones get too scorching and also you need to re-adjust the temperature
You may also create a two-zone fie as a substitute of three zones. On this setup, you set the coals to cowl half the dimensions of your grill and depart the opposite measurement completely coal-free. The facet with coals will act as the new facet and is good for direct grilling.
The coal-free facet will provide oblique grilling and can cook dinner your meals by way of convection (i.e. utilizing heat air flow into round your meals). This may guarantee even cooking of your meals, each in and out.

#4. Make a grill protect
Typically one of the simplest ways to make one thing work is to inject your dose of creativity into it.
On this case, you’ll be able to strive bringing down the cooking temperatures by making a barrier between your meals and the hearth. Be aware that this is not going to utterly block the warmth from attending to your meals however will reduce the warmth stream for a slower cooking course of.
To do that, merely seize an aluminum foil and fold it a number of occasions (a foil as much as 3 layers thick is nice sufficient to manage warmth stream to your meals). Slip it below your meals and that’s it!

Step 2. Utilizing the identical tongs, unfold the burning coals within the firebox as a lot as attainable to assist disperse warmth.
Step 3. Shut all of the grill vents (each high and backside) as a manner of utterly blocking oxygen from getting into the grill and burning the charcoal.
Step 4. After approx. quarter-hour, open the exhaust damper (i.e., elevate the lid). At this level, a lot of the coals can be virtually going off. Evenly spray the bottles with water.
Stir the coals as you spray them.
WARNING: Watch out to not apply an excessive amount of water in fast motion as this can lead to a speedy steam launch from the coals which could find yourself scalding you and even warping your grill.

It’s finally time again to break out the grill and make some cilantro lime chicken!
We’ve been enjoying some warm spring weather and it’s been such a nice change. Winter was tough all over this year and I know I’m not the only one who has been yearning for weather warm enough to throw open the windows and take the comforters off the beds. I love not needing a jacket and being able to throw on flip flops, too. Oh, spring, how I love you!
This cilantro lime chicken is one of my favorite easy chicken dishes. I actually make it year-round (I just use a grill pan when it’s too cold to grill) but definitely a lot more often during the warmer months. I love that it’s delicious just as is but can also be added to any number of other things to make an entirely new recipe. I usually double the recipe just so I can make something else with it later that week. The flavors in cilantro lime chicken are perfect for just about any tex-mex recipe or it’s great to put on a salad. This time I made a flatbread dish out of it that is to die for (recipe coming this week)!
Marinate the chicken the full four hours for best flavor. Don’t go over four, however, or the lime juice may begin to “cook” the chicken. Slice chicken into strips before marinating for even more flavor.
- 2 pounds chicken breasts (3-4 breasts)
- zest and juice of 3 limes
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1-2 tablespoons adobo sauce, from a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (optional)
- Place all ingredients except chicken into a small bowl, dish or large resealable plastic bag; mix well. Add chicken and marinate for at least two hours and up to four.
- Grill chicken over medium heat until well-browned on both sides and cooked completely through.


Dwarf8 PWA Surf World Cup
Opening the 2009 slalom season in style, Austria’s Lake Neusiedl took its cue to deliver both sun and wind in equal measure to christen slalom’s newest World Tour destination.
In total, four race eliminations were completed over the event’s six day holding period, in winds ranging from 7-25 knots. On Predictably good form, 3 x World Champion Antoine Albeau (JP / NeilPryde) set the pace for the opening race, seamlessly winning all of his heats before sailing to victory in the elimination’s final. Hot on his heels was the UK’s Ross Williams (Tabou / Gaastra) who looked calm and collected as he picked a path through the elimination to bag second place ahead of France’s Julien Quentel (RRD / NeilPryde) in third.
Race two saw the early departure of Albeau in the first round following a start line collision with George Manev (Starboard / NeilPryde). With the elimination depleted of the multiple World Champion, Bjorn Dunkerbeck (Starboard / Severne) seized the opportunity to take reigns and claim his first race victory. Behind him, Finian Maynard (RRD / NeilPryde) showed class by securing second place in the highly testing Austrian conditions, leaving Gonzalo Costa Hoevel (Exocet / MauiSails) to make amends for his second round departure in race 1, by filling out the final podium position in third.
Moving into the second day of competition, the wind stepped up a notch to deliver some classic slalom racing in 15-25 knots of breeze. As the third race elimination was narrowed down to the semi finals, Costa Hoevel continued to exert his dominance by winning his heat, equally, Maynard’s campaign grew momentum with some slick sailing to hand him second place.
The following semi final proved to be close fought battle, ultimately going to a newly invigorated Kevin Pritchard (Starboard / Gaastra / Dakine), who fended off advances from Albeau in second, and at-the-time event leader, Quentel third.
The elimination final proved to be an Anglo-French battle between Williams and Albeau. Despite Albeau’s blistering straight line speed, Williams’ faultless gybing and tactical negotiation of the race course rewarded him with a convincing victory. Close behind, Albeau made his presence felt as he chased in second, and Quentel continued his run of outstanding consistency in third.
The fourth and final elimination of day two saw more consistent sailing from Maynard, who executed three back-to-back heat victories to advance into the race final. Rising to meet the challenge, Costa Hoevel mimicked the British Virgin Islander’s run by stitching together his own faultless run into the final eight.
Looking more comfortable in the Austrian conditions, Josh Angulo (Augulo / MauiSails / Dakine) posed a potential threat as he tapped into his usual form to bag a spot in the semi finals. His run would be halted by a false start, in effect ruining his chances of posting a top ten finish in the overall event standings.
As the final rolled round, a selection of familiar faces took their positions to finish up the day’s racing with one last high-speed slalom bout. From the off, Williams showed he was very much in the groove. Taking the lead on the first reach, the four gybes looked to be a mere formality for the Brit, who consolidated his lead on the final reach, allowing him to savour the moment he secured his second race win of the event, and in turn the event lead.
Giving chase was Costa Hoevel, who finished the race in second, ahead of Albeau in third.
The remaining four days of the event were lost to scorching sun and long periods of waiting on standby while the wind refused to blow. The final day of competition would seal the event’s fait, as the wind completely backed off, ultimately handing Williams the event title thanks to a super consistent run of results. Albeau showed he’s still able to deliver the goods riding for the JP-Australia brand, finishing in second, and Costa Hoevel showed his calibre by taking third.
The top ten finishers at the Dwarf8 PWA Surf World Cup are as follows:
1 Ross Williams (Gaastra / Tabou Boards)
2 Antoine Albeau (NeilPryde / JP)
3 Gonzalo Costa Hoevel (Exocet / MauiSails)
4 Julien Quentel (RRD/ NeilPryde)
5 Björn Dunkerbeck (Starboard / Severne Sails)
6 Finian Maynard (RRD / NeilPryde)
7 Kevin Pritchard (Starboard / Gaastra / Dakine)
8 Peter Volwater (F2 / MauiSails)

Thank you for recognizing the importance of your job as moderator of a presidential debate. I pledge to support you in playing an active, vocal role in the town hall on Oct. 16.
I denounce efforts to reduce you to playing nothing more than microphone holder for the audience. Voters are counting on you to ask clarifying questions that will help them make a well-informed decision on Election Day.
I urge you to ensure that women's issues -- from attacks on women's reproductive rights to threats to health care access and economic security -- are addressed by both Mitt Romney and President Obama.
Thank you for all that you do for women across the U.S.

The Lagos State Government is to turn the site of the June 3, 2012 Dana plane crash into a memorial of the victims of the accident.
Governor Babatunde Fashola said this during the presentation of 2013 budget proposal to the state’s lawmakers on Wednesday.
�Our agreement to dedicate the crash site as a memorial in honour of the victims is being implemented on our side as clear directives have been given to the appropriate ministries and organs of government.
�Once again our hearts reach out to the families of the victims who were Nigerians and other members of the international community. We pray that time will heal their wounds and grief.”
�Our gratitude goes to the Commissioner for Special Duties, who led the recovery efforts; our health personnel from the Commissioner for Health and members of his team, especially theVice-Chancellor of LASU and the Medical Director of LASUTH, who worked with other experts to painstakingly sort, tag and process the bodies and prepare forensic samples for overseas analysis, which led to the positive identification of 141 bodies that have been released to the bereaved families for burial.
�I believe that this identification of over 94 per cent of the victims- and we are still working to conclude the rest- helped us to avoid a mass burial for the first time in our history of such human tragedy and I hope it will bring the bereaved families nearer to a closure.”

Schools in Rose Garden
The Rose Garden is a good place to live in California for parents with school-going children. Both the public and private schools here are rated above average and sit adjacent to one another.
Trace Elementary School, Burbank Elementary and St. Martin’s Catholic School are popular elementary schools. Hoover Middle School for middle school education. Abraham Lincoln High School and Bellarine College Preparatory are excellent for high school students.
Homes in the Rose Garden
The Rose Garden area is architecturally distinct and perennially appealing to most home buyers. They have preserved the residential housing original architecture borrowed from the English Cotswold Cottage, Norman, and Tudor styles. People are also drawn towards its tranquility and free access to the San Jose Municipal Rose Garden.
You have tree lined streets with century-old homes, Victorian style homes from the 1860’s-1870’s and tract style as well as custom/semi-custom homes. The real estate caters to a wide variety of styles. Many of the older estates have been extensively remodeled and replaced with newer characteristics. Moreover, most people own their properties in this area instead of renting. The Rose Garden area is not known as an area with a lot of Duplexes, Triplexes or Fourplexes.
Things to Do
Great places to visit are The San Jose Municipal Rose Garden, Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum, Rosicrucian Park, Historic Hoover Theatre, and Winchester Mystery House. Additionally, there are art galleries, museums, music, history, tech tours, shopping, recreation, and much more.
What Locals Say?
The Rose Garden area has large lot sizes, the yards are all well-kept, sidewalks are plenty, safe and protected, plus it is a pet-friendly region. Homes are unique, streets are wide, trees are mature, and it is not a cookie-cutter neighborhood. Nightlife has limited options, more towards downtown San Jose and surrounding areas. Restaurants and grocery stores are in abundance, many within walking distance.
Schools are great, and there are families with young children, all having an excellent sense of community. Shopping and entertainment will not disappoint as you have many options like Santana Row and Westfield Valley Fair Shopping Mall. For fitness, there are yoga studios, gyms, karate, taekwondo, and more, plus O’Connor Hospital is close by.
Finally, the availability of jobs is good and significant industries include healthcare, utilities, and waste management services.

I have been a supporter of Destroy the Joint since the night it was conceived. In fact my first Destroy the Joint T shirt is wearing out!
I think you have all done some excellent work. Thank you. However lately I have been visiting the site less and less and have been becoming more and more disenchanted by some of the campaigns. Rather than becoming disinterested and faintly wishing you good will as I wave you goodbye, I thought I was honour bound to actually put in writing some of my concerns, for I still have great admiration for the overall conception.
I admit that I am a dyed in the wool feminist of many years standing. I confess I have never actually burnt a bra, but as an older woman I remember our protests, our struggles for educational and vocational opportunities and for many of the forbidden things that young women today take for granted, and faintly resent this going unrecognised in recent criticism of “old bra burning feminists”. But this does not particularly worry me. I am still capable of using both the ancient (and some more modern) techniques of expressing my views!
What do worry me are some of your recent campaigns. It was simple when you started, with all our support, recognising the injustice of the misogyny that abounded at the time, particularly in relation to our Prime Minister. I think this has made a great difference. More people now identify misogyny are now prepared to call it out.
DTJ has been a great forum for people to enunciate and discuss their views on what women should and or can expect in life. It has been well supported by some intelligent and some enlightening comments from many men and women.
But I ask the question are you now trying to cover too many areas? Some of them, perhaps because they are complex issues, cannot be simple enough to be reduced to black and white questions followed by a few comments, some informed some less informed. These issues need more than just public awareness they need knowledge and expertise.
I refer, particularly, to your current campaign against what you are naming “domestic violence” but which seems to me to be more of just a reduction to a numeration and description of what I would call “intimate partner violence” of men against their female partner. I agree that both are related issues and ones about which we should all be concerned and against which we should all speak out. They are already aired, but can always do with more airing. Much more government funding is needed. But it is not the simplistic, binary, counting, “us against them” issue which you have been describing. If it were as simple as you are presenting it would be much easier.
Personally I am a non violent person and am against any violence as a way to solve problems in any circumstances.
But, like all old feminists, I am quite outspoken and do not find it easy to understand why some people find it difficult to speak out against violence when they experience it. But I have both worked and studied in this area and know from that experience that we are dealing with very complex situations and emotions. I was a lawyer in a past life and worked for some years as a psychologist in a legal setting. It is important to change mind sets in both perpetrators and victims, particularly while problems still remain “potential” rather than actual. Some years ago I worked with a male counsellor who provided some groups for men who had been violent to their partners and I developed some surprising understanding of how they had got to where they were. (Some had been mandated to attend and others were volunteers but there was little difference between those two types.)
I have spent time with victims of violence and saw their needs and sometimes their compassion which had them remaining in situations where I would never have stayed.
I have worked with police specialising in this area and admired some of their very praiseworthy efforts to intervene in violent situations and have been witness to some of their frustrations at not always been able to follow through as they would like to, due to decisions made that they had to respect, often made by women.
I have met domestic violence workers, whom I greatly admire. But some of them, in their desire to protect former victims, have subjected those very victims to control that the victims found more abusive than that of the former partners.
During my study for a Law Masters I wrote a research project arguing quite strongly that Apprehended Violence Orders, with all the good intentions involved, sometimes play a role quite disempowering of victims in the mere exercise of this usage of “the power of law and language”.
And, as an aside, although it is unarguable that, when men and women are in physical conflict, it is usually the woman who is hurt, it cannot be denied that there are a number of women who are also prone to violent outbursts. After all we are humans too! And the term “domestic violence” also includes violence to and by children. This does not exclude women and girls.
The classic domestic violence, which so often includes on-going restriction of a partner by isolation, reducing her income, physically restraining, intimidating and ultimately injuring her is a deeply distressing situation and needs intervention in a way that will not further damage the victim. It is to be hoped we can find acceptable ways so intervention can happen early on and will provide her with physical help and information and will give her strategies and knowledge to enable her to avoid such friends or partners in the future.
It might also help women in general, as well as the ex partner himself, for him to have help, as that will also prevent violence towards anyone else. On this issue I have to cross swords with DTJ for the attitude expressed when it was suggested that disaffected men should not receive counselling and education, as all support should go to the victims. On going counselling for disaffected men is probably an essential way to protect women in general and to prevent young sons from potentially growing up to a life of violence.
It is the age old argument, drain the swamp or kill the alligators?
Please destroy the whole joint. Concentrate on the big picture, community attitudes, not on the minutiae of the more complex issues where almost all people agree on the desired outcome, both men and women. Individuals are often just struggling hard to find solutions and will sometimes get it wrong.
I’d rather do some swamp draining. I thought that was what DTJ was originally doing. Concentrate on changing the world!

May 30 (UPI) -- A new study has found LGBQQ college students are more likely to seek mental health services but still face many barriers to on-campus mental health services.
Students who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer or questioning, or LGBQQ, were more likely to use off-campus mental health services than on-campus services, and reported being deterred by barriers such as confidentiality and uncertainty over eligibility.
The RAND Corporation study included 33,000 students from 33 public two-year and four-year colleges in California in 2013.
Researchers found that 7 percent of students surveyed identified as LGBQQ and 26 percent were more likely to report psychological distress compared to 18 percent of heterosexual students. Roughly 17 percent of LGBQQ students reported academic impairment related to mental health problems compared to 11 percent of heterosexual students, and 63 percent of LGBQQ students had higher overall levels of stress over the past month than 55 percent of heterosexual students.
Nearly 31 percent of LGBQQ students reported using some type of mental health services during college compared to 18 percent of heterosexual students.
"It's encouraging that college students who identify as sexual minorities are more likely to utilize mental health services, but our findings suggest there is a need to develop campus-based mental health services tailored to this group and address barriers to using them," Michael S. Dunbar, associate behavioral scientist at RAND, a nonprofit research organization, said in a press release.
LGBQQ students who needed mental health services didn't get them on campus because they reported facing barriers to using the on-campus services. Confidentiality, embarrassment about using services and concerns over eligibility were all reported as barriers to using on-campus mental health services.
"Our study underscores the need for additional actions to increase access to and use of mental health services among all students," Dr. Bradley D. Stein, physician scientist at RAND, said. "It also highlights the need for efforts to ensure that campuses' mental health services are sensitive and responsive to the needs of sexual minority students, enabling all students to address their mental health needs and maximize their chances for success in college and beyond.
The study was published in the Journal of Adolescent Health.

Members of the European Parliament have voted 306-27, with 231 abstentions rejecting the proposed EU-US Data Privacy Framework. In a non-binding resolution, MEPs declared the framework an improvement over its predecessor but claimed more is needed to offer an adequacy decision. MEPs called on the Commission to continue negotiating with the US to establish a framework that would provide a level of protection equivalent to that of the EU.
Echoing the views of the Libe Committee in April, MEPs said EU citizens need legal certainty along with rights of access and redress. Noting how the Court of Justice of the European Union invalidated the two previous agreements, MEPs urge the Commission to ensure any future framework can withstand legal challenges.
Parliament Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs Chair Juan Fernando López Aguilar said, "This new proposal contains significant improvements, but unfortunately, we are not there yet. There are still missing elements on judicial independence, transparency, access to justice, and remedies. So, we call on the Commission to continue negotiations and properly address these concerns. The mechanism must genuinely protect the data of EU citizens and businesses."

Terps Fall in Four Sets
Nov. 6, 2011
COLLEGE PARK, Md. - The Maryland volleyball team dropped a four-set match Sunday against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 3-1 (25-21, 18-25, 25-23, 25-15) at Comcast Pavilion. Junior Remy McBain recorded her team-high 11th double-double of the season and senior Maddi Lee finished with double-digit kills for the second straight match.
McBain had five kills to go along with 32 assists and 11 digs. Lee led the Terps with 14 kills with a .345 hitting percentage and sophomore Mary Cushman added 11 kills.
Georgia Tech's Monique Mead gave the Yellow Jackets a slight advantage at 14-10 with consecutive kills in a first set that featured 19 ties and lead changes. Maryland tied the match at 14 on a service ace from junior Caitlin Adams and led 17-15 following a kill from Lee. However, the Yellow Jackets scored five consecutive points to take control of the set and go on to win 25-21.
With the second set tied 4-4, a kill by freshman Carlisle Abele sparked a four-point Maryland run capped by back-to-back kills by Adams. The Terps increased the lead to 17-10 before Georgia Tech rallied to cut the Maryland lead to 18-15. The Terrapin defense responded and forced the Yellow Jackets to commit four consecutive errors to increase the Maryland advantage to 22-15. Cushman and Lee tallied kills to give the Terps set point. Lee recorded her fourth kill of the set to secure the frame for the Terps 25-18.
Mead had 10 kills in the third set and helped Georgia Tech to a 14-10 lead. A kill from freshman Adreene Elliott brought the Terps within one point at 16-15, and following an error by Georgia Tech, sophomore Caroline Niski scored a service ace to give the Terps the lead. The set remained close and after Mead recorded a kill to tie the set at 23 the Yellow Jackets scored the next two points to take the set.
A Georgia Tech service error tied the fourth set at 10. The Yellow Jackets then scored the next four points to take command of the set. Georgia Tech used three 3-point spurts to increase its lead to 19-13. Maryland did not get any closer as the Yellow Jackets took the set 25-15.


Taiwan's lightweight Indigenous Defensive Fighter, the Ching-Kuo, is by no means the first aircraft of its type to be considered by the leaders of Taiwan's Nationalist Party. In 1946, the then Chinese government despatched a delegation to Britain. The team was charged with arranging for the design of a turbojet, a jet fighter, and a jet bomber suitable for manufacture in Nationalist factories. The Gloster company agreed to undertake design of the fighter under the designation CXP-1001.
The CXP-1001 was a single-seater designed around the existing Rolls-Royce Nene turbojet. It was 41 ft 10 in long, spanned 38 ft, and weighed 13,900 lbs loaded for a normal mission. Armament was to be four 20-mm cannon arranged around the air intake or a pair of the forthcoming 30-mm weapons. Design maximum speed was 600 mph. Ceiling was 40,000 ft. Range was 1000 miles with two drop tanks and a Meteor-style faired belly tank.
A full-scale mockup and a number of component parts were finished. However, the collapse of the Nationalist army in 1949 and the subsequent flight from the mainland brought the work to an abrupt halt. In any case, Gloster was now deeply involved in the competition for a new RAF all-weather fighter with the Javelin. It had few resources to spare. Taiwan's future defense would rest on American-manufactured airplanes for many years.

Alan Tabern pips Mike Van Duivenbode to top spot thanks to head-to-head record
Alan Tabern won Group 11 of the Unibet Home Tour after a last-leg victory over former PDC World Championship runner-up Simon Whitlock.
Both men went into the final match with a chance of topping the group but only Tabern and Mike Van Duivenbode could have won it ahead of the final leg amid a dramatic finale.
Whitlock suffered a shock 5-3 reverse in his opening encounter against Van Duivenbode but he beat fellow former World runner-up Kirk Shepherd in a last-leg decider to ensure every player had won one game ahead of the final two matches.
Shepherd had started off with a 5-1 victory over Tabern, who beat Van Duivenbode 5-2 in his second match. The victory proved crucial as he won the group on the head-to-head record.
A 5-3 victory over Van Duivenbode would have guaranteed Shepherd the group and he went 4-2 ahead with a 13-dart finish.
But the 21-year-old Dutchman came back to force a decider and survived four match darts to move top.
The result ensured Van Duivenbode had a slim chance of success – only a 5-4 win for Whitlock in the final match would have carried him home with any other result ensuring the winner prevailed.
World number 14 Whitlock started in style with a 12-dart leg and 170 checkout but each of the first six legs went against the throw.
Tabern missed a 40 checkout but Whitlock could not finish on 16 and the former UK Open semi-finalist moved 4-3 ahead to end his opponent’s group chances.
Tabern declared he had “bottled it” after missing two match darts before the tie moved to a deciding leg with himself and Van Duivenbode looking for victory – but the St Helens man sealed success.


US envoy meets Dalai Lama, discusses dialogue with ChinaBy IANS
Thursday, February 24, 2011
DHARAMSALA - US Ambassador Timothy J. Roemer Thursday met Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama and discussed various issues including the dialogue process between Tibetans and China and global issues, such as environment and the situation in Libya and Egypt.
Roemer and his wife Sally, who reached here Wednesday afternoon for a two-day visit, flew back to Delhi after the talks.
Talking to reporters at Gaggal airport prior to his departure, Roemer said the meeting with the Dalai Lama was “the first time in many years by a US ambassador”.
Asked what transpired during the meeting, he said the dialogue process between Beijing and the Tibetan leader’s envoys, which came to a standstill after the ninth round of talks held in January last year, were among the “many important issues” that came under discussion.
“The US had asked China to continue the dialogue process on Tibet issue with envoys of Dalai Lama,” he said and added that the US was very much concerned about human rights of Tibetans.
“The talks were most engaging and most productive,” Roemer said.
The Dalai Lama’s office did not comment in detail on Roemer’s visit, but was upbeat over the “positive” outcome of the morning meeting that lasted for more than an hour, the Tibetan spiritual leader’s private secretary Chimme Choekyappa told IANS: “It was very good”.
Refusing to comment officially on the role of the US regarding resumption of talks between the Dalai Lamas envoys and Beijing, he said the meeting was focused on various global issues.
“Of course, environment and recent socio-political conditions in Middle East and North Africa were among the major issues. His Holiness the Dalai Lama expressed concern over recent incidents of violence,” Choekyappa said.
Sources in the Dalai Lamas office said only close aides of the Nobel laureate were present at the meeting.
Tenzin Taklha, joint secretary at the Dalai Lamas office, said: “It was just a courtesy call. Issues of common interest were discussed.”
A senior official in the Dalai Lamas office said the visit was part of periodic contacts between the US government and the Tibetan leaders. He said the aim was also to encourage a dialogue between Beijing and the spiritual leaders envoys.
Sources in the Dalai Lamas office said the possibility of the 17th Karmapas issue finding a mention in the meeting cannot be ruled out.
Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje held a meeting with the Dalai Lama at his official palace just two days prior to the Roemer-Dalai Lama meeting.
Police Jan 28 recovered nearly Rs.70 million worth of unaccounted foreign and Indian currency from the Karmapa Lama’s monastery, Gyuto Tantric University and Monastery near here.
Roemer was the third among high-level US officials to meet the Dalai Lama since March 2008 when the then US House of Representatives speaker Nancy Pelosi came to meet the spiritual guru.
His visit also comes less than two years after a high-level group led by White House advisor Valerie Jarrett visited this town to apprise the Nobel laureate and his functionaries on the best way the US could assist in the resolution of the Tibetan issue.
After reaching Dharamsala Wednesday, Roemer inaugurated a refugee reception centre, a transit home for Tibetan escapees, on the outskirts of this town. The US government has funded the centre.
He met high-ranking officials of the Tibetan government-in-exile, including prime minister Samdhong Rinpoche, Wednesday
The Dalai Lamas government-in-exile is not recognised by any country.
The Dalai Lama, who believes in the middle-path policy that demands greater autonomy for the Tibetans, is viewed by the Chinese as a hostile element who is bent on splitting Tibet from China.
Some 140,000 Tibetans now live in exile, with over 100,000 of them in different parts of India. Over six million Tibetans live in Tibet.


What are the Benefits of a Tankless Water Heater?
Did you know that hot water heater is one of the highest energy using appliances in a home? Generally, 20 percent of a home’s energy use comes from heating water for washing dishes, laundry, cooking, and bathing. Annually, this can add up to several hundred dollars to operate a conventional water heater. These “tank” water heaters waste a lot of energy keeping the water hot when you are not using it, wasting a lot of money. Fortunately, there is a better option – tankless water heaters.

Looks like he paid attention somewhat when being taught how to shoot - wouldn't you say! Could it do with a tiny bit of improvement - sure it could but it is not bad at all as I see it. (As for that one above the head, do not know if that was a hole from a round or a mark on the target.)
He told me he has been going to the range once a week lately and shooting 100 rounds through his two 9mm pistols. I like it - practice is good when doing it right. I suggested he ought to shoot at least 300 rounds per range trip and maybe only go every other week. Yet, he prefers going more often and shooting less ammo because he cannot afford much more of the ammo. So, what was a responsible loving pop to do but order him a case of 9mm to help him along.
I ordered him a case of Sellier & Bellot, 115 grain, FMJ ammo from TargetSportsUSA.com. I have shot it before and like it, one of the better things about it, as far as I am concerned, is that it runs hotter than most other practice ammo. TargetSportsUSA has a great price when you consider it includes shipping for a case. Now if he shoots the 300 rounds per range trip as I recommended, he will have 100 rounds left over after three trips. Damn, this could get expensive.
All the best,
