Sports news from the Pollock, SD area.
Posted 2/04/13 (Mon)
By Wendy Thorstenson
The Lady Wolverines converted 15 of 24 free throws in the final quarter to outlast McLaughlin 61-53 in Herreid on Monday, Jan. 21. Herreid-Selby Area, now 12-0, is ranked third in the Class B polls.
Fouls cost the Midgets, who trailed by one, 40-39, after three quarters when H-SA connected on four out of five free throws in the first minute of the final period. Shauni Schwartz sunk four in a row, after a Midget technical was called, and then followed it up with a field goal to push the Wolverines advantage to 47-39 just over a minute into the fourth. H-SA connected down the stretch for the win.
Defense was fierce all over the court which limited the fast breaks both teams like to execute. H-SA racked up the first five points of the game before McLaughlin hit one behind the arc. The teams traded baskets for the rest of the first quarter with the Lady Wolverines eking out a 13-12 lead at the quarter stop.
McLaughlin opened up the second with a quick basket to go ahead by one before a pair of Haylee Biel baskets, a Taylor Madden basket, followed by the only Wolverine three of the night from Schwartz pushed H-SA's lead to 22-15. The tides turned as McLaughlin added 10 more points in the quarter while a basket from Kendra Thorstenson was all the Wolverines could get to leave H-SA behind 24-25 at halftime.
In the third quarter, K. Thorstenson connected on four field goals and Abbey Fjeldheim had a pair of free throws and a couple baskets as the Wolverines converted on some fast breaks. Madden had the only other basket for H-SA while McLaughlin's Bobbie Jamerson fueled her team with 11 points to leave the Wolverine's a narrow 40-39 edge at the quarter's end.
Free throws told the story in the final quarter as H-SA outscored the Midgets 22 to 14. The Midgets came within three 51-48 with a trey by Jamerson three minutes into the quarter, but Fjeldheim and Schwartz connected on 13 of 20 free throws down the stretch to keep the Wolverines on top. McLaughlin committed 26 fouls for the game compared to eight by the Wolverines.
Three Wolverine players hit double digits to fuel the win including Schwartz with 17 and Fjeldheim and K. Thorstenson both with 14. Jamerson had 24 for McLaughlin.
H-SA connected on 19 of 42 field goals and one of 10 from behind the arc.
H-SA tallied 37 rebounds including seven each by Schwartz and Biel, six apiece by Fjeldheim and Madden, five from K. Thorstenson, and three each by McKenzie Frank and Kelsey Quaschnick.
Schwartz led the team in assists, with four of the team's eight, and made all four of the Wolverines' blocks. Schwartz and K. Thorstenson both had four steals to add to the team's total of 13. The Wolverines also committed 19 turnovers.
Biel 2 2/7 6
Fjeldheim 3 8/13 14
Madden 4 8
Quaschnick 1 2
Schwartz 3/1 8/13 17
K. Thorstenson 6 2/3 14
Wolverines 19/1 20/36 61
Midgets 17/4 7/10 53
The JV picked up a 42-24 win, leading 14-4, 22-12 and 29-16 at the quarter stops. Jana Thorstenson led the team with 17 points and 10 rebounds. Others scoring were Quaschnick, five, McKenzie Reierson and Coutney Anderson, four apiece, Lacey Houck and Tegan Meidinger, both with three, and Michaela Seibel, Danielle Gusman and Grace Goehring, all with two. The team had 22 rebounds with Jess Kurtz, Seibel, Paige Dressel and Meidinger, all adding two. Meidinger also had three assists for the team.
Fast breaks abounded for the Wolverine C team who raced to a 14-0 lead after one quarter and led 30-6 at halftime before winning 42-22. Scoring were Goehring, 18, Anderson, 10, Gusman, six, Kendra Dressel, five, Kara Thorstenson, two, and Kurtz, one.

Pre-planning your final arrangements is simply a matter of taking the time to think about, and to write down, your desires. It's a thoughtful gesture to those you love, and a way to let go of anxieties about the future. You'll be more relaxed, knowing your plans are made and in the hands of reliable friends or family.
Communicating your wishes
When you take the time to think about it, you'll quickly realize that pre-planning is all about taking control. Pre-planning your final arrangements:
- relieves your family members of making very personal decisions at the time of need.
- lets your family know your wishes. The wishes are recommended to be placed on file with your funeral professional.
- opportunity to protect you and your family from the effects of inflation. Simply choose from one of the state approved funding options that include affordable payment terms.
- your funeral professional at Lotz Funeral Home Salem, VA will provide to you a planning session at your home or business at no charge.
Does Pre-planning Require Pre-payment?
A one word answer to that question: no. You can choose to set plan to paper, simply recording your wishes, and leave it for your family to pay for your desired services at the time of your passing.
Or, you can protect you and your family from the ravages of inflation by pre-funding your plan. This ensures your guaranteed expenses will be covered when you need them to be.
When you choose to pre-fund your final arrangements, your money is put in a state-approved funding option until required. After your funeral is paid for in full you will never have to pay more for the guaranteed items you listed on your contract.
Another point we'd like to stress: When you pre-plan with Lotz Funeral Home Salem, VA, your plan will go where you go. No matter where you reside at the time of your passing, no matter what funeral home you choose to work with, your plan will be transferable to any funeral home in the United States that accepts the contract.

Cool that you give it another try.
What I'm wondering again is, that you still don't deliver "personally" to France. Maybe you watched way to much Monty Python, they won't through cows at you, believe me – or is it still that French Fries thing.
Good luck, buddies.
Cheers, Tobias

Thank you, Trent. This is an important message to "broadcast" to the SOF community & beyond. My heart aches for Ethiopia - it also rejoices as an adoptive Mom of a daughter who was born in Ethiopia. Beautiful, loving, hopeful people in a country of many struggles...

Mary, sadly, most of the daily news coming out of Africa focuses on the worst of events: famine, war, genocide, rigged elections, etc. Stories like this are a poignant reminder that there is a lot of good happening too and that, no matter the difficulty of circumstances, people have this amazing power to heal and start anew.

Have you ever noticed how much energy we put into remaining in our comfort zones? It is relatively easy to fall into a seductive slumber of doing just enough to maintain our status quo; be that keeping up with our house chores, sustaining "dead end" relationships, working at an unsatisfying job and/or reaching a plateau in your self care routine. It can be inspiring and at the same time daunting to consider that research again and again implores and encourages us to mix it up, raise the bar and stretch your self more and more to keep your fitness and self care needs and desires realized!
In much the same way changing perspective, switching seats at church or taking a different way to work brings freshness to that experience, exploring new frontiers within our self care and fitness routines can offer a similar boost to our bodies and spirits. Research tells us that one of the primary reasons why we stop or give up on our regular fitness routines is boredom or because we feel we are not getting the results that we desire, which can lead to frustration and the same outcome. We stop exercising and get "lax" with our commitments to eating well and honoring the body temple. I imagine that you can identify with me when I share with you that there are things that I am better or more accomplished with today than I was years ago. We are spiritually wired and gifted to align with the principle and practice of "IGG"-"Increasing greater good" and its available application in all aspects of our lives.
To utilize and leverage this cycle of increasing greater good you need to first take the time to make an honest assessment of where you are in terms of the "state of your life" and its relationship to what you desire for yourself and your present experience. What are you "getting from" and "giving to" life. Some questions that may help you with getting an honest assessment could be "is my energy level where I would like it to be?" Does my body reflect the kind of vitality and strength that I desire? Do my daily wellness choices represent integrity and alignment with my goals? Once you gather the information necessary to give you a good and thorough assessment of your present state of being you can then move on to checking in our your level of commitment to change and grow what you surmised from your assessment.
I love leveraging and empowering my level of commitment by fast forwarding to the place of realizing the goal in mind. That is, see it as done, feel the experience of your accomplishment and the joy of your success. From this place it's all about listening and looking for the feedback and all its many forms of showing up as you move forward on your journey. Are you getting the results that you intended and visioned for yourself? What are the challenges to getting the results that you are looking for? What can you do to make the necessary adjustments to move through and beyond those challenges? Now you can channel the feedback into moving forward again with clarity and ever growing commitment.
One of the things that can prevent us from reaching our goals is spending too much time in that place of where we were and where we think we should be. Sometimes we talk down to ourselves about how far we still have to go. Rather than deliberate in a self- manufactured purgatory, aspire to see the little wins along the way that have gotten you to where you are. These "little wins" are all a necessary part of the "big win." Actively celebrate each step towards your goal. Treat yourself to a new fitness class; indulge in a spa body treatment; check out that new gourmet healthy restaurant; or go to bed real early after an aromatherapy bath…yummm!
It can be challenging to stay in the moment. With any practice of self care, our ego "likes" to compare and to judge -to make sure we know that we are not "there yet". We can let go of our ego and take refuge in knowing that the goodness and joy come in the daily doing. A wonderfully magical part of growing your life, being mindful of the continuous improvement cycle is that it allows for us to be in constant communion with a powerful force and tenet for happiness and fulfillment in life; to daily stretch and grow, to actively pursue identifying challenges and overcoming them and acknowledge yourself and your success in doing so!

Seniors shine with talent, leadership
The Pueblo West High School class of 2013 turned in a ton of tremendous athletic accomplishments over the past year.
It is Pueblo West View tradition to honor the top senior athletes in every graduating class by naming the All-Senior team.
Unlike our usual, opinion-free reporting of the Cyclones' wins and losses throughout the year, this is purely an opinion column based on personal observations and impressions. This stuff is my opinion, and it is debatable, but few people outside of athletic director Jamie Wagner see as many Pueblo West sporting events as I do in a given year.
Typically athletes make this team by displaying character and leadership as well as talent and achievement. Extra consideration is given to athletes who excel in multiple sports, but being a multi-sport star is not a requisite.
This section also could have been titled 'Simply a beast,' because that's what Derek Jackson was. He was a beast, and he was the best.
The 5-foot-8, 185-pound running back turned in the best single season by a Pueblo running back... ever. Jackson amassed 3,343 rushing yards in 2012 — the second-highest single-season total in Colorado high school history. He became Pueblo's all-time leading rusher.
Jackson had big shoes to fill, following in the footsteps of older brother Justin, who led the Cyclones to a state title in 2007, and he did so admirably. Derek Jackson put in all the work in the weight room and with agility and speed training to craft a monstrous physique. He had break-away speed, lightning-fast cuts and punishing power.
Jackson piled up five consecutive 300-yard games at one point in 2012 and helped the Cyclones go undefeated in the regular season, earn a No. 1 seed in the playoffs and advance to the state semifinals. In the semifinal loss to Monarch, he had 194 yards with a 79-yard touchdown run.
Jackson is slated to play football next season in Nebraska for Chadron State, a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference rival of Colorado State University-Pueblo.
Taylor Leyva was a leader for two tremendously successful teams.
Leyva earned MVP status in the South-Central League last fall after helping lead the Pueblo West volleyball team to a perfect league record and another in a long line of league championships.
After a brief November break, she took up a leadership role for the girls basketball team that spent the entire season ranked in the state's top five.
Leyva led the team in scoring at 17 points per game as the Cyclones piled up an astonishing 25-2 record. They made it to the Final 4 for the second season in a row. Leyva earned All-Colorado first-team honors.
In addition to being a top talent, Leyva was the kind of kid I wanted to interview when I knew the interview would be tough. She gave honest and thoughtful answers before and after big games, win or lose. She handled herself like an adult. She accepted the responsibility of a leadership role, whether she and the team had a good game or a rough game.
After the heart-breaking Final 4 loss in Boulder, I sat in the stands with Leyva and had a nice conversation, in which she gave gracious answers to tough questions.
Leyva joins a short list of Pueblo West athletes to earn the right to play college sports at the Division I level; she is set to play basketball for Northern Arizona next season.
Haley Bertoldo was one of the state's elite swimmers for several years, and that is an astounding accomplishment for a young woman who went to a school with no pool.
Cheyenne Mountain is a swimming factory. Girls who attend schools around Denver practice and compete in spectacular facilities. Bertoldo's school has no pool, and she swam most of her high school meets in the little, dimly-lit pools around Pueblo.
And yet Bertoldo turned in the state's top times, better than the girls from Cheyenne Mountain and parts north, for years.
Bertoldo never broke through and won a state championship, but she placed second in the state in the butterfly and third in the backstroke in 2012, and in 2013 she placed third in the butterfly and fourth in the backstroke. At times during both seasons, she was seeded No. 1 in the state.
Pueblo West has an excellent swim program — among the best in the region when one considers the boys and girls teams together — but it took a tremendous amount of individual commitment and family support for Bertoldo to reach the heights she did. She is the most decorated swimmer in the history of Pueblo West High School.
Bertoldo, like Leyva, will be competing at a Division I level next year; she is committed to swim for Brigham Young University.
Like anybody who associates with Chieftain sportswriter Jeff Letofsky, I started hearing about Logen Letofsky a long time ago. I was skeptical; I am always skeptical of a proud sports parent talking up his kid before the kid has reached the varsity level.
But Logen Letofsky exceeded everything I was led to expect by the time he was done at Pueblo West.
After the baseball team lost the state title game in heartbreaking fashion in Denver, another reporter and I gave the guys quite a while before we tried to conduct interviews. It is, after all, a tough time for a disappointed athlete to talk, and one player actually turned down another reporter's request to talk. That reporter was worried about what kind of interview he was going to get, and how long it was going to take.
But I knew I would talk to Logen. Not just because he was the team's top pitcher with an earned run average of about 1.00, and not just because he was one of the team's offensive leaders with an average well over .400. I knew I would interview Logen because I knew he would answer all of the tough questions with maturity.
Letofsky also was the star of West's basketball team in the winter, carrying the load with a scoring average of 19 points per game.
He was a leader for both teams, and he took responsibility for it, win or lose.
Letofsky is signed to play college baseball next year for Ventura College in California.
The following young men and women deserve honorable mention here, either for exceptional talent, hard work, great attitude, or a combination of those things: Gavin Compton, Jacob Torres, Kayla Perry, Kaila Alberici, all the seniors on the baseball team and all the seniors on the boys swim team.

This little thing lasts longer than you would expect from the size, and really helps my skin a lot. It can sting a bit on zits, but it passes in about 30 seconds - and the results are worth it. I actually use it all over my face at night and have seen a massive improvement. My skin is also very sensitive, so for this to work without causing a rash or acute dryness is a huge plus.

Detail view ... because of sharing
The Ivory Game wins top international award at 'Oscars' of wildlife film and TV ceremony
Wins also for David Attenborough's Light on Earth and Wild Weather with Richard Hammond at Wildscreen Festival 2016
The Ivory Game, produced by Terra Mater Film Studios, and executive produced by Leonardo DiCaprio, has been named the winner of the international wildlife film and TV industry's most prestigious award - the WWF Golden Panda Award, at the 2016 Wildscreen Festival in Bristol, UK.
The documentary, which exposes the dark and sinister underbelly of global ivory trafficking, also won the evening's Theatrical Award.
There were further wins throughout the ceremony for Terra Mater, including Wild Weather with Richard Hammond, co-produced by Terra Mater, which won the Script Award and David Attenborough's Light on Earth, which won both the Technical Innovation Award and the NHK Science Award.
The biennial Wildscreen Festival is considered the most important wildlife film and TV festival in the world. Lucie Muir, CEO of the charity behind the festival, commented: "A major talking point at this year's Wildscreen Festival has been the growing success of independents, not only at finding fresh ways to tell wildlife stories but also new ways to share them. Our Golden Panda winner, The Ivory Game, is one example of this – as gripping as a thriller drama in style and soon to be shown by an on-demand channel with the unique ability to put an urgent conservation story in front of a huge global audience very speedily.
The Ivory Game premieres on Netflix November 4th 2016
The Ivory Game shortlisted for the best feature documentary Oscar 2017
"The Ivory Game" is among the 15 finalists for the best feature documentary Oscar.
The investigative ivory-trade doc produced by Terra Mater Film Studios, and executive produced by Leonardo DiCaprio was shortlisted from a total of 145 submissions. The five final nominees will be announced January 24, along with the rest of this year's Oscar nominees. The 89th Academy Awards will take place on February 26, 2017, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
The Ivory Game is an undercover feature-documentary which exposes the dark world of ivory trafficking. Award-winning director Richard Ladkani and Academy Award nominated director Kief Davison filmed undercover for 16 months, moving across the continents of Africa and Asia, documenting the deep-rooted corruption at the heart of the global ivory trafficking crisis.
"The Ivory Game would just be another heart-pounding crime thriller if its subject matter wasn't so depressingly true."
"In any event: a committed, valuable film."
The Guardian
" 'The Ivory Game' may be a harsh wakeup call to anyone concerned about the future of the largest land mammal, but it's also a keen evaluation of the efforts being made to correct the situation."
The film is available on Netflix in 190 countries in 19 languages. Find here the trailer.

TAG Heuer countdown success at Red Bull Rampage 2016 on Red Bull TV
The new partnership between Tag Heuer and Red Bull TV got off to a successful and timely start on Friday 14th October, as the luxury Swiss Avant-Garde watchmaker's new countdown clock on the channel ensured nobody missed out on watching 21 of the world's elite freeriders at the 11th Red Bull Rampage, the world's toughest freeride mountain bike event.
The TAG Heuer Red Bull Rampage countdown coincides with the announcement that the luxury watchmaker is the Official Timekeeping Partner for Red Bull TV. The developing relationship between Red Bull TV and TAG Heuer expands upon a winning partnership between the watchmaker and Red Bull Racing. The personalities featured on Red Bull TV continually innovate the possibilities of their sports, and competitions often come down to fractions of a second, while record setting is in TAG Heuer's DNA, with the company developing the first stopwatch accurate to 1/100 of a second.
Much of the Red Bull TV integration will support TAG Heuer's campaign theme, "Don't Crack Under Pressure" (#dontcrackunderpressure), where people are encouraged to push boundaries, take on challenges, and break rules. The inaugural countdown clock campaign celebrates two visionary rule breakers, born more than a century apart. In 1860, Edouard Heuer founded a company that has continually revolutionized the art of watchmaking around the world and beyond – TAG Heuer was the first Swiss watchmaker in space on the wrist of astronaut John Glenn. In 2001, pioneering freerider, Josh Bender, brought his crazy "you gotta go big" vision to life with the very first Red Bull Rampage; he remains on the judging panel to this day. Learn more about the inspiration behind Red Bull Rampage here.
At Red Bull Rampage, freeriders have the time of their lives trying to take smooth lines, nail large airs, and land spectacular jumps on descent trails of their own creation. Former Rampage competitors judge riders on their tricks, lines and technical ability. The new venue in Virgin, Utah brought the event back to its roots, inspiring riders to conquer raw and untamed natural terrain.
Ultimately, it was Brandon Semenuk who took the win for the second time at Red Bull Rampage 2016. Watch his incredible run, here.
Make sure you don't miss out on the next live events with the TAG Heuer countdown clock for Red Bull Straight Rhythm, live on October 23 and the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series final, live on October 28.

Caesar Salad with Pancetta
- 3/4 pound pancetta, sliced 1/2-inch thick
- 2 pints cherry tomatoes
- Good olive oil
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 large heads romaine lettuce
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
- For the dressing:
- 1 extra-large egg yolk at room temperature*
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 large cloves garlic, chopped
- 8 to 10 anchovy fillets (optional)
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (3 lemons)
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups good mild olive oil
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Cut the pancetta into 1/2-inch cubes and cook it in a skillet over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until browned and crisp. Remove to paper towels and drain.
Place the tomatoes on a baking sheet and coat with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until soft.
Wash the lettuce leaves carefully and spin-dry in a salad spinner. Stack the leaves on a cutting board and cut them crosswise into 1 1/2-inch slices. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
For the dressing, place the egg yolks, mustard, garlic, anchovies, lemon juice, salt, and pepper into the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Process until smooth. With the food processor running, slowly pour the olive oil through the feed tube (as though you were making mayonnaise), until thick. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and pulse 3 times.
Toss the lettuce with enough dressing to moisten well. Add 1 cup grated Parmesan and toss. Divide the lettuce among 6 or 8 plates and sprinkle with the pancetta roasted tomatoes. Serve at room temperature.
All these ingredients can be made in advance. Be sure they're room temperature when you assemble the salad.
If you're nervous about raw egg yolks, substitue 2 tablespoons of real mayonnaise.
Pancetta is Italian bacon. You can find it in your Italian grocery or a specialty food store. Insist that it's vut 1/2-inch thick.
Contains Raw Eggs: The Food Network Kitchen suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly cooked eggs due to the slight risk of salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly refrigerated, clean grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use shell eggs that have been treated to destroy salmonella, by pasteurization or another approved method.

Defining Replicate Strata and Forming Replicates
Computing School-Level Replicate Base Weights
Computing Student-Level Replicate Base Weights
In addition to the full-sample weight, a set of 62 replicate weights was provided for each student. These replicate weights are used in calculating the sampling variance of estimates obtained from the data, using the jackknife repeated replication method. The method of deriving these weights was aimed at reflecting the features of the sample design appropriately for each sample, so that when the jackknife variance estimation procedure is implemented, approximately unbiased estimates of sampling variance are obtained. This section gives the specifics for generating the replicate weights for the 2008 arts assessment samples. The theory that underlies the jackknife variance estimators used in NAEP studies is discussed in the section Replicate Variance Estimation.
For each sample, replicates were formed in two steps. First, each school was assigned to one or more of 62 replicate strata. In the next step, a random subset of schools (or, in some cases, students within schools) in each replicate stratum was excluded. The remaining subset and all schools in the other replicate strata then constituted one of the 62 replicates.
A replicate weight was calculated for each of the 62 replicates using weighting procedures similar to those used for the full-sample weight. Each replicate base weight contains an additional component, known as a replicate factor, to account for the subsetting of the sample to form the replicate. By repeating the various weighting procedures on each set of replicate base weights, the impact of these procedures on the sampling variance of an estimate is appropriately reflected in the variance estimate.
Each of the 62 replicate weights for student k in school s and stratum j can be expressed as follows:
STU_BWTjsk(r) is the replicate student base weight for replicate r,
SCH_NRAFjs(r) is the school-level nonresponse adjustment factor for replicate r,
STU_NRAFjsk(r) is the student-level nonresponse adjustment factor for replicate r,
SCH_TRIMjs is the school-level weight trimming adjustment factor, and
STU_TRIMjsk is the student-level weight trimming adjustment factor.
Specific school and student nonresponse adjustment factors were calculated separately for each replicate, thus the use of the index (r), and applied to the replicate student base weights. Computing separate school and student nonresponse adjustment factors for each replicate is generally known as replicating the school and student nonreponse adjustment factors. This allows resulting variances from the use of the final student replicate weights to reflect components of variance due to the school and student nonresponse adjustments.
School and student weight trimming adjustments were not replicated, that is, not calculated separately for each replicate. Instead, each replicate used the school and student trimming adjustment factors derived for the full sample. Statistical theory for replicating trimming adjustments under the jackknife approach has not been developed in the literature. Due to the absence of a statistical framework and since relatively few school and student weights in NAEP require trimming, the weight trimming adjustments were not replicated.

I have two questions about names that some of you probably can answer. The first concerns the conventionality of surnames. Are there still language cultures where surnames are not for the most part conventional? (It would be foolish, for example, for anyone to infer from my name "Limber" that I am particularly agile or that Drs. Head, Brain and Pons interest in neurology had anything to do with their names.) I'd appreciate any examples. The second question is to what extent are names in languages more or less "syntactic"--that is participate or not in whatever formal structures other NPs do? Again, I'd appreciate any examples or references on this. Thanks in advance. John LimberMail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue
This is a query concerning Frank Anshen's response to 2.777 A phonological Query. There he states that Bahasa Indonesia developed from a pidginized Malay used as a Lingua Franca,i.e., presumably modified in ways that make minimal acquisition easy. (endquote). I don't know much about Indonesian, but I am very interested in such cases of pidginization. Is it really true that Bahasa Indonesia developed from a pidginized Malay? I have the impression that B.I. is very close to Standard Malay, with a few phonological differences, but not much in the way of simplification. It seems to me that there was a conscious effort, in the elaboration of B.I., to keep it very close, though distinct from Malay. There have always been good speakers of Malay in what is now Indonesia, even though the majority would speak a pidginized variety, i.e. Bazaar Malay. So I guess there was always a feeling that B.I. should look like proper Malay, because no good speaker of Malay, or even bad speakers of Malay, would ever take something close to Bazaar Malay seriously. A similar case would be Afrikaans, said to have developed from a Dutch pidgin; clearly, this is an oversimplification, since modern Afrikaans has very few creole features, even though it is simpler than Dutch. Even though must have been Dutch pidgins around, and there still are nowadays varieties of Afrikaans that look very pidgin-like (there's a thesis by Dennis Makhudu, U. of Illinois-Urbana, I think), there must have been a conscious effort to prevent Afrikaans from becoming a full-fledged pidgin, later a creole. I presume these voorrekkers all carried their Dutch Bibles in their ox-wagons. I'd really appreciate an Indonesianist/Malayist's opinion on this. (Erratum: I mean voortrekkers) I don't mean to open a big debate about where Afrikaans came from; but I am really curious about similarities between that situations and the elaboration of the Indonesian language. I know for a fact that Afrikaans has borrowed a lot from Dutch over the years, with slight phonological adjustments. I suppose a similar thing has happened for Indonesian. Also, the desire to keep Indonesian separate from Malay, seems to be very similar to the efforts to keep Afrikaans separate from Dutch.

Old English personal pronouns can (according to received wisdom) also serve as relative pronouns. Sometimes they act like relative pronouns even when they have a case appropriate to the main clause rather than to the relative clause (e.g. they have zero stress, which is characteristic of clause-initial rather than clause-final position; I do not think enclisis is involved).

text: Planning for the Smart Grid has had a huge impact on the way power utilities manage their operating data and control networks. The convergence of IP technology, Smart Grid imperatives and the increased need for security as characterized in the NERC CIP regulations in North America has provided an opportunity for power utilities to rethink their operating strategies and come up with innovative ways to integrate the new and the old in order to position themselves for the future. This exercise has generated a body of knowledge that is instructive for all industrial networking applications.

Over the next 5 years, the Department of Defense (DOD) expects to invest almost $343 billion (in fiscal year 2011 dollars) on the development and procurement of major defense acquisition programs. Defense acquisition programs usually take longer, cost more, and deliver fewer quantities and capabilities than DOD originally planned. For several decades, Congress and DOD have taken steps to improve the acquisition of major weapon systems, yet some program outcomes continue to fall short of what was agreed to when the programs started. With the prospect of slowly growing or flat defense budgets for the foreseeable future, DOD must get better value for its weapon system spending and find ways to deliver needed capability to the warfighter for less than it has spent in the past.
Increasing combat demands and fiscal constraints make it critical for DOD to ensure that its weapon systems investments not only meet the needs of the warfighter but make the most efficient use of available resources. Over the last several years, GAO's work has highlighted a number of underlying systemic causes for cost growth and schedule delays in weapon programs. At the strategic level, DOD's processes for identifying warfighter needs, allocating resources, and managing acquisitions, which together define its weapon system investment strategy, are often not fully aligned. For example, the department often fails to balance the competing needs of the warfighter and commits to more programs than available resources can support. At the program level, GAO's work has shown that DOD's culture and environment often allow programs to start with too many unknowns, such as entering the acquisition process without a full understanding of requirements; cost and schedule estimates based on overly optimistic assumptions; and insufficient knowledge about the maturity of technology, the completeness and the performance of the design, and predictability of manufacturing processes when decisions are made to move forward into the next phase of the acquisition process. Poor outcomes in DOD's weapon system programs reverberate across the entire federal government as every additional dollar spent on acquiring weapon systems is less money available for other priorities.
Since fiscal year 2000, DOD has significantly increased the number of major defense acquisition programs and its overall investment in them. From that time to the present, acquisition outcomes in some cases continued to fall short of what was agreed to when the programs started. In most cases, the programs GAO assessed failed to deliver capabilities when promisedoften forcing the department to spend additional funds on maintaining legacy systems. In March 2009, GAO reported that programs experienced, on average, a 22-month delay in delivering initial capabilities to the warfighter. Continued cost growth in such acquisitions results in less funding being available for other DOD priorities and programs. Schedule delays prevent timely delivery of critical capabilities to the warfighter.
GAO has reported that greater adherence to proven management practices at key phases of the acquisition process can reduce weapon system costs, help contain pressures for increased funding, and better address critical warfighter needs. Early systems engineering, ideally beginning before a program is initiated and a business case is set, is critical to designing a system that meets requirements within available resources. In addition, an analysis of alternatives can help ensure that new programs have a sound, executable business case and represent a cost-effective solution to meeting warfighters' needs. Another key step in the process involves managing requirements changes, which if minimized, could decrease the amount of cost growth experienced by acquisition programs. Finally, more prototyping early in programs could help DOD ensure that a system's proposed design can meet performance requirements.
Additionally, DOD requirements continue to be driven primarily by the individual services with little involvement from the combatant commands, which are largely responsible for planning and carrying out military operations. By continuing to rely on capability proposals that lack a joint perspective, DOD may be losing opportunities to improve joint warfighting capabilities and reduce the duplication of capabilities in some areas.
DOD has demonstrated a strong commitment, at the highest levels, to address the management of its weapon system acquisitions, and has started to reprioritize and rebalance its weapon system investments. In 2009 and 2010, the Secretary of Defense proposed canceling or significantly curtailing certain weapon programs, such as the Army's Future Combat System Manned Ground Vehicle and the Navy's DDG-1000 Destroyerwhich he characterized as too costly or no longer relevant for current operations. DOD plans to replace several of the canceled programs and therefore has an opportunity to pursue knowledge-based acquisition strategies on the new programs. In addition, DOD plans to eliminate redundant programs within capability portfolios and make affordability a key requirement for weapon programs. These actions are consistent with past GAO findings and recommendations. However, if these initiatives are going to have a lasting, positive effect, they need to be translated into better day-to-day management and decision making.
GAO's recent observations present a mixed picture of DOD's adherence to a knowledge-based acquisition approach, which is key for improving acquisition outcomes. For 42 programs GAO assessed in depth in 2010, there was continued improvement in the technology, design, and manufacturing knowledge the programs had at key points in the acquisition process. However, most programs were still proceeding with less knowledge than best practices suggest, putting them at higher risk for cost growth and schedule delays.

However, most programs were still proceeding with less knowledge than best practices suggest, putting them at higher risk for cost growth and schedule delays.
Congress passed a number of acquisition reforms in the Weapon Systems Acquisition Reform Act of 2009 to emphasize and increase oversight and reporting on cost estimating, early systems engineering, developmental testing, and technology maturity for major weapon system programs. Since then, DOD has begun to implement a revised acquisition policy based on these congressional reforms to address these and other areas of acquisition risk. If DOD consistently implements these reforms, the number of programs adhering to a knowledge-based acquisition approach should increase and the outcomes for DOD programs should improve.
DOD can take steps to maximize its use of taxpayer dollars by improving its business operations, including the acquisition process. By employing best management practices at all phases of its weapon system acquisition processincluding early systems engineering, analyzing alternatives, managing changes in system requirements, and more prototyping early in programs development testingDOD could achieve significant cost savings. While activities, such as early prototyping, require upfront investments, the knowledge gained can help products proceed more quickly and smoothly through development into production, thereby lowering the costs to develop them.
While DOD's acquisition policies and process may be improving, fiscal pressures continue to build. In addition to the federal government's long-term fiscal challenges, DOD faces its own near- and long-term fiscal pressures as it attempts to balance competing demands, including ongoing operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, initiatives to grow and modernize the force, and increasing personnel and health care costs. DOD's fiscal year 2010 budget request started the process of reprioritizing acquisition dollars to meet warfighters' most pressing needs, but the department must still address the overall affordability of its weapon system investments.
As DOD competes for resources in a constrained fiscal environment, it can not afford to miss opportunities to achieve greater efficiencies and free up resources for higher-priority needs. Because of the complexity and magnitude of the challenges facing DOD in transforming its business operations, it will need strong and sustained leadership, as well as sound strategic planning to guide and integrate its efforts. Ultimately, DOD still needs to do a better job planning and executing programs on a day-to-day basis to achieve better outcomes. Critical to achieving successful outcomes is establishing and sustaining knowledge-based, realistic program baselines. Without realistic baselines, there is no foundation for accurately measuring the knowledge and health of programs.

Publisher's notebook: 'Open for Business,' blind to reality
Two years ago, state Gov. Andrew Cuomo made no excuses. Benefits and wages of public employees, overlapping local governments and the number of school districts were out of whack. Those forces were key components that drove the high tax and poor business climate in New York.
Fast forward to Wednesday's State of the State address and not one of those initiatives that hinder upstate job growth were addressed.
What was on the governor's agenda instead? Hot-button issues of gun control, a lack of immediate funding for relief from Hurricane Sandy downstate and a light-hearted plan for an Adirondack whitewater rafting competition between state officials.
After two years of straight talk regarding spending cuts and plans to reduce the excessive layers of local government and schools, it appears as if Cuomo has all but given up on previous priorities that dated back to his term as state attorney general.
That "given-up" spirit, however, coincides with an election year that looms in 2014. Candidates eyeing re-election know its better to highlight the roses and ignore the thorns if another term is on the horizon.
Consider these initiatives – some unpopular – from his first State of the State address in 2011:
Consolidations of local governments, which have not happened.
A mandate relief redesign team, which included Jamestown Mayor Sam Teresi, with major recommendations that have never been implemented.
An emphasis on controlling waste in state Medicaid funding.
$250 million set aside for school consolidation efforts, which hardly any upstate districts used.
Wage freezes for state employees, which were enacted in the early years of new contracts.
A cap on school superintendent salaries, especially downstate where salaries are upwards of $300,000-plus.
"Gone are the anti-business, obstructionist, tax capital, and gridlock mentalities, replaced with an entrepreneurial government that collaboratively works together for the people and partners with the private sector to create jobs and get the economy back on track," Cuomo said during his speech Wednesday.
But that remark was made almost as though the economic difficulties in Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties did not exist. Carriage House is eliminating 375 jobs by closing the Petri plant in Silver Creek and downsizing the Dunkirk facility. Another 174 jobs were lost when Dal-Tile decided to close its Olean facility while moving 60 positions to its location in Gettysburg, Pa. Add in another 60 jobs relocated to Tonawanda in the NRG Energy Inc. mothballing of two Dunkirk units and you have more than 600 jobs leaving the region.
It sounds nothing like the "Open for Business" campaign state leaders consistently boast about.
As we noted in our OBSERVER's View on Thursday, there is very little for our region to be optimistic about in Cuomo's agenda for the year. Educational improvements were mentioned, but funding for the current curriculum is already a concern. A minimum wage hike is something that is better handled by the federal government to maintain a level the playing field between neighboring states competing for business.
Cuomo also discussed the creation of legalized casinos – specifically for upstate, not New York City. His hope is once tourists make the trip to upstate, they will want to come back.
But our greater concern, considering the region's loss of 600 jobs in the past five months, needs to be aimed at helping those living locally remain here and find work.
For now, and over the last 40 years of population decline, state and local officials have had no answer for that.

Open house at 40 Mile Point Lighthouse
ROGERS TOWNSHIP – The 40 Mile Point Lighthouse Society's open house and arts and crafts show starts Saturday.
More than 30 artists from throughout Michigan are signed up to sell their handiworks at the society's ninth annual arts and crafts show, held on the lighthouse grounds, society Secretary Barb Stone said. The show runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and continues on Sunday at the same times. Vendors will sell everything from jewelry to woodwork, from hand-woven rugs to baked goods.
Visitors can snack on free coffee and cookies, and the Rogers City Kiwanis Club's fish shack will be selling sandwiches as well, Stone said.
The lighthouse, located seven miles northwest of Rogers City on US-23, also will be open throughout the weekend, starting Friday at 10 a.m., Stone said. Visitors can tour the museum and check out the tower. On the grounds, they can climb inside the restored pilot house of the Calcite, a freighter from the Bradley Transportation fleet. Part of the wreck of the Joseph S. Fay lies on Lake Huron's shore, a short walk from the lighthouse.
"We like to bring people in, and we kind of like to promote Rogers City, too," she said. "Of course, we like to push our lighthouse. It's a big part of the history of this area."
Society members will be raffling off an iPad to raise funds for the lighthouse, Stone said. They're constantly working to restore the historic structure, and it takes money and volunteers to keep it in good shape. They'll also raffle off a set of mugs and a small model of the lighthouse itself.
The Glawe schoolhouse, which sits on the lighthouse grounds, will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. over the weekend, Stone said. It's maintained by a separate group, and the one-room schoolhouse has been restored to look as it did when it was in use.
For more information about the event, visit www.40milepointlighthouse.org, or call Stone at 734-4587.

Please tell me about it What it could be? Is there any chance of cancer? Because there is no pain in the guilt. My DAD died of mouth cancer just one month ago and he was not able to survive for more than 11 months. Please help me.

I am 63-yr-old man from Punjab. I have mouth ULCER, both situated under tongue. At times when you have any CHILLY food, it's very painful. Is there any Allopathic or HOME-BASED remedy to get rid of this immediately.
Occasional teeth clenching is fairly common disorder among adults and children throughout the world. But if the teeth grinding occurs repeatedly, it can cause significant damage to your teeth or gums (with chances of potential tooth loss) and overall dental hygiene. Furthermore, recurrent episodes of bruxism might cause other serious complications such as severe headaches, facial pain or disorders in the temporomandibular joints (located in the forepart of the ear).
According to recent studies, 15-33% of children tend to grind their teeth while they develop their first few pairs and generally stop with the gradual development of adult teeth. In adults, this disorder might occur as an involuntary response, completely unbeknownst to the concerned individual.
The most likely causes of bruxism are as follows:
According to the doctors, in 70% of the adults, repressed stress or anxiety might result in teeth grinding while you are sleeping.
Bruxism might also occur as a result of excessive consumption of alcohol, caffeine, sleeping pills, tobacco, and selected anti-depressants.
Bruxism might also occur due to depression and the sheer competitive nature in certain individuals.
Bruxism might also occur due to a serious disorder such as Parkinson 's disease.
Bruxism might also occur as an axillary of other sleep related disorders such as excessive snoring, sleep apnoea, etc.
If you have an irregular structural alignment among the upper and lower sets of teeth, Bruxism is more likely to occur.
In children, Bruxism might occur as a response from to pain in the ear or tooth.
The following treatments can be implemented to treat permanent instances of bruxism:
If it is caused by severe stress and anxiety, stress management therapies can be very useful to prevent Bruxism.
If you have a habit of grinding your teeth while you are asleep, you can consult your doctor to provide you with mouth guards.
Regulated consumption of alcohol, tobacco might help prevent Bruxism if it is caused by a side effect of either one of them. Likewise, if the disorder occurs due to a side effect of antidepressants or any other psychiatric medications, you must consult your doctor to change the particular medication.
You can also opt for Dental correction procedures like night guard if the reason of the disorder is the misalignment of the upper and lower teeth or other related dental complications. A custom fit night guard will not only safeguard your comfort, but improve the quality of your smile as well.
Although medications are not common, muscle relaxants (for a certain period of time) or Botox injections are prescribed by doctors when the patient does not respond to other forms of treatments.
I am 20 years old boy, I am little fatty, my mouth is smelling bad if I brush my teeth daily also what is the solution to overcome this problem.
Mild to severe tooth pain can turn out to be debilitating and damaging condition if it is persistent. Also, the pain in head/ears can spread to the rest of the head and give you an uncomfortable ache and tingling sensation all day long. So what are the causes behind tooth pain? Here's our list!
- Tooth decay: The presence of food debris that has not been cleaned out can stay on and cause cavities and persistent tooth pain. This condition can also make the teeth extra sensitive and pain then emanates as a natural response to signify that all is not well in the area. This can also lead to sharp pain when bite an apple or munch on nuts. One must see a dentist for this kind of pain so that scaling and plaque removal can take place.
- Injury: If there is persistent, throbbing pain after eating something that is too hot or too cold, then it might be more than mere tooth sensitivity. This condition could also point at chipped, broken or cracked teeth due to excessive teeth grinding or a fall or accident. It could also be caused due to sports injury. The dentist will usually take a dental X ray to find the cause of the pain and to unravel the extent of the damage as well.
- Inflammation: Constant pain may also point at inflammation of the pulp. This may be caused due to damaged roots. If this kind of inflammation comes with bleeding and fever, then you must see a dentist immediately. It can also mean that the pulp or root of the tooth is dying, in which case a root canal may be required.
- Sinus: A dull ache in the sinus area of the upper teeth usually point at sinusitis, which is a condition that emanates due to pain in the nerves of that area. This pain can also happen due to cold and cough as well as an allergic attack that affect the facial muscles due to excessive sneezing and watering of the eyes. Also, a flu and fever can lead to this kind of pain.
- Infection: Inflammation along with fever and bleeding can also point at infection. This can render the complete pulp tissue damaged. Also, the growth of abscess in such cases can cause acute tooth pain. The dentist will usually diagnose the issue with a tooth X ray before prescribing antibiotics and carrying out a root canal for severe cases.
Persistent toothache with other symptoms should always be checked by a dentist so as to rule out long term damage that can result in tooth loss.

Hello Lybrate Users,
I am posting on this topic as many of users have been asking on the same issue.
1. It has nice taste.
2. Freshness lasts longer.
3. Has good antibacterial property of neem and turmeric.
4. Its soothing action on the cavities and gums.
5. Minimum side effects.
1. It cannot be an alternative to dental treatment as it cannot reverse progression of disease of gums or cavities.
2. As it soothens (obtundant) effect of clove oil on regular basis misguides the pain response which would end up in the end stages of the disease finally results increased cost of dental treatment in late stages of the disease or the tooth should be removed if caries or periodontal progression goes beyond to save the tooth.
3. The turmeric might cause tooth discolouration in long run.
As far as to my knowledge is concern use it just if you want to give a try but I will never recommend on a daily basis.

Skip to comments.India executes Terrorist convicted of 26/11 Massacre
Posted on 11/20/2012 10:08:48 PM PST by coldphoenix
Ajmal Kasab, the sole surviving terrorist from the 2008 Mumbai attacks, was hanged to death on Wednesday at Yerwada Jail in Pune. Kasab was executed at 7:30am at Yerwada jail in Pune in Maharashtra after President Pranab Mukherjee rejected his mercy plea earlier this month.
Pakistan had been informed about the hanging of Kasab, home minister Sushilkumar Shinde said on Wednesday.
He told reporters that President Pranab Mukherjee had rejected Kasab's mercy petition.
"Pakistan has been informed but there is no demand for Kasab's body. The president rejected Kasab's mercy petition Nov 5. I had further forwarded it to the Maharashtra government Nov 8," Shinde told mediapersons.
Maharashtra home minister RR Patil on Wednesday termed it as 'a tribute to people killed in the attacks and a message that India will not tolerate terrorism'.
"He was hanged at 7:30am this (Wednesday) morning," RR Patil told reporters at a press conference in Mumbai.
"The mercy petition of Kasab was rejected by the President, which we received on November 8 after which we have executed him," he said.
Patil added that this is a tribute to the 166 people and policemen who lost their lives in the terror attacks 4 years ago.
Kasab's end came just five days before the fourth anniversary of the brutal terror attacks. The Nov 26-29, 2008 terror siege had claimed 166 lives.
According to sources in the home department, Kasab said that he had no last wish before he was executed.
Kasab was reportedly moved to the Yerawada jail in a secret operation few days ago. His body will not be sent to Pakistan for burial as they had not accepted him as as their citizen, sources added. The Maharashtra home department is completing their paper work on the same and will be announcing his burial details.
Advocate Ujwal Nikam who was the public prosecutor in this case expressed happiness over the move." We have exposed the modus operandi of terror groups operating from Pakistan and sent a message that terrorism will not be tolerated, " Nikam said.
"Yes, Kasab has been hanged this (Wednesday) morning at 7.30 a.m. in Yerawada Central Jail," special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam, who led the 26/11 terror attacks case, said.
President Pranab Mukherjee on November 8 rejected the mercy petition filed by Kasab, sentenced to death for the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.
Kasab's mercy petition to President Pranab Mukherjee was the terrorist's last hope.
The move is a strong political message sent by the government before the start of Parliament session and ahead of the Gujarat elections.
The decision came two months after the home ministry rejected Kasab's mercy petition addressed to the President.
Venu Rajamony, press secretary of the President confirmed the decision.
Home minister Sushilkumar Shinde's recommendation to the President was in line with the recommendation of Maharashtra governor K Sankaranarayan and the no-mercy-for-terrorists principle laid down by his predecessor P Chidambaram.
Ajmal Kasab and nine fellow Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists had sailed into Mumbai on November 26, 2008 from Karachi and gone on a shooting spree that killed 166 people. Kasab was the only one captured alive by security forces.
Kasab was sentenced to death in May 2010 after he was found guilty of a string of charges, including waging war against India, murder and terrorist acts.
He appealed in the Supreme Court claiming he did not receive a fair trial but his petition was struck down in August.
During the 2008 attacks, the heavily armed terrorists stormed targets in Mumbai including luxury hotels, a Jewish centre, a hospital and a bustling train station.
India blames the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militant organisation for training, equipping and financing the gunmen with support from "elements" in the Pakistan military.
Hope he enjoys his 72 Helen Thomas clones.
heck, I didn't know that India had a death penalty.
Meanwhile that POS Nidal Hasan still eats and breathes on the tax payers dime.....
Have they shaved the bastard yet....personally I'd rip his beard out one whisker at a time.
They do, but it is used extremely rarely. The standard for its use is that the crime has to be of an extreme and unusual nature.
Hanged. That's proper!
He should have committed the crime in Norway, he would have been sentenced to 5 years in a Five-Star luxury hotel.
Buh Bye Douche bag
Allahu akhbar.
He was hanged. Please notice that, we need the same means of execution here plus faster way to get them to the scaffold. For those involved in multiple rapes, murder and child molestation. Serious drug dealing too such as meth and heroin
Hanged was for the worst in England. Hanging is still the means of execution in Jamaica. We need to bring it back. Public flogging for drug dealers.
A wood chipper and a pig farm ought to figure into same (in order to show due respect to his religion).
Well India's only method of execution is hanging. They don't use injections/chairs/firing squads .... yet.
I saw footage of the interrogation of this guy, and transcripts of the cellphone conversations they had with their commander while the attack was going on (not sure how India got that); it was eerie. They were walking through this building, and the attackers were amazed at how big the windows were; they must have come from some dirt-poor villages. It was actually distracting them from their mission.
Injections are a silly invention of ours, I think.
Firings squads are OKay, too.
Those conversations were caught because the Intelligence Bureau (IB) which is India's domestic intelligence agency (RAW is the counterpart of the CIA)tapped the cell phones of the attackers. It is said that they fed the SIM cards to the Lashkar-e-taiba through a courier. However that might just be a smokescreen because they are known to have an extensive domestic tapping capability which they don't necessarily want to reveal.
what was interesting was that the most people killed were Moslems. The Pakistani terrorists attacked 2 5-star hotels, but most people managed to get out, they slaughtered a Jewish family (who were peaceful) - 6 people, but then they went to Victoria Station and killed the poor people there randomly and at that time most were poor Moslem workers heading home...
A million foul sacks of hate on death row.
A million foul sacks of hate.
Take one down, do for the clown.
999,999 foul sacks of hate on death row...
Meanwhile that POS Nidal Hasan still eats and breathes on the tax payers dime.....
Dear Leader has ruled that was workplace violence.
His body will not be sent to Pakistan for burial as they had not accepted him as as their citizen, sources added. The Maharashtra home department is completing their paper work on the same and will be announcing his burial details.
A wood chipper and a pig farm ought to figure into same (in order to show due respect to his religion).
Obama would have given him a burial in accordance with muslim tradition.
I knew that they did, but that it was cumbersome to enforce. I am surprised that they took as little time to do it as they did...
the infowarrior
And US needs to had over David Headley and Tahwwur Hussein Rana to India rather then protecting them and feeding them in a 5 star luxury prison in Chicago.
maybe a 13 step escalator on the scaffold?
With all the hollering about "cruel and unusual punishment" for any possible execution method, I've always wondered about something.
Why not a massive overdose of heroin? The guys dies, but he dies really happy, so it's tough to claim it's cruel.
Have to admit it would be a bit unusual.
A productive use for all those drugs we confiscate each year.
Unless they're addicts, I've read that first time users vomit. It would be A-OK with me, if they choked to death on their own vomit.
I'm not opposed to your idea...LOL.
Hanging, when done in the British style, as it is in India, is probably the most humane form of execution in existance. When done properly, they are dead within 20 seconds of being removed from the condemned cell.
Allahu FUBAR!
What is illustrative here is that it took 4 years for the Indians to put this person to death.
Here in America, it would take 20 years, if at all. Considering that the perp is a muslim, and considering the administration, he would have probably been jailed and traded off for another prisoner, at some point.
At least the Indians still understand the concept of "justice".
Here, it will soon be forgotten (if it hasn't already been)...
well then, why was this scumbag given that?
he went and killed innocents, laughing as he shot them and then cried like a baby when caught
He should have been flayed alive and worse...
Kasab was merely a puppet whose life ended on the string......as the Times of India so aptly put it. The real puppeteers who ran the show are still in Pakistan enjoying American aid money.
> The real puppeteers who ran the show are still in Pakistan enjoying American aid money.
Now if country X had perpetrated terrorist attacks in the U.S. while receiving arms and financial aid from country Y, what would have the US done to both X and Y?

Giving blood – So simple, so vital!
"Before I came to the Iowa School for the Deaf, I had never donated blood. Needles make me cringe! ISD students came to me and asked me to give blood. I didn't like doing it much, but I gave several units over the next six years. Still, I found reasons to 'get out of it.'
"But, in May 2009, that abruptly changed for me. My stepdaughter was hospitalized with a blood disorder and received approximately 15 units of platelets and six units of red blood cells. Strangers donated all of those blood units!
"When ISD's next blood drive came, I had no excuses! Strangers helped my stepdaughter, and it was my turn to give back some of what they had done for Rosalyn. Now, I am giving blood for everyone like Rosalyn who needs this vital help. If I can do it, coward that I am, so can you!"
