Well I have downloaded the repair manual and had a quick look at it. It does seem reasonably easy to work on, particularly as it comes in two halves. There is a docking station that has a spare battery, the DVD drive, floppy drive, USB port and game port. The rest is in the main body of the machine.And i expect that you will have no problemo's doing the surgery either johnno.
I think that the worst lappies I have worked on were the old Apple iMac3 and 4. It takes about 90 minutes to change a harddrive, and if you put the wrong screw in the wrong hole (there are about 20 of them) you will trash the motherboard.

In the early 20th century, when the professional game of baseball was still in its goofy teenage years, the Brooklyn franchise had a series of name changes that newspapermen, and certainly some fans, grew accustomed to using. First, they became known as the �Superbas,� simply because at the time their manager was a fine baseball man named Ned Hanlon, and somewheres else in the entertainment world there was a group of circus performers named, �Hanlon�s Superbas.� You could look it up.
Next, after Hanlon left the Dodgers (so-called because the Borough of Brooklyn was said to have more trolleys per square mile than any other little town onEarth, and the residents had to keep dodging them to stay unwounded) a fat, jolly former member of the Baltimore Orioles joined the team at its helm. Wilbert Robinson was a knowledgeable baseball man, but he was also a bit of a clown, and by and by Uncle Robbie�s team became known as the Brooklyn Robins.
Fans would go back and forth between referring to their Flatbush heroes as either the Dodgers or the Robins, a practice that ended when Robinson left and his job was taken over by ball player Max Carey. (A move to re-moniker the team the �Canaries,� owing to Carey�s real name, Max Canarius, stalled.)
Which, in a roundabout way, leads us to the subjects of hot dog vendors, ostriches, and marketing.
The Reading Phillies have announced that after a long search for a new name � a solution that we can only imagine was out there looking for a problem, since no one we know of had seen fit to complain that the name �Reading Phillies� was less than stellar � ended last week. They will now be known by the name, �Fightin Phils�� and have as their mascot a large, ugly, two-legged, flightless bird, that is native to Africa and which has been seen in Phils� territory only in zoos or exotic animal farms.
The club says the name change � in the city affectionately known as Baseballtown � distinguishes the minor league team from its big brother, which of course people were constantly mistaking them for, showing up regularly at their Berks County home and wondering when Cole Hamels was going to pitch.
The ostrich is a reference to a running on-field gag known as the Crazy Hot Dog Vendor, who �rides� on to the field in an ostrich costume. We are assuming the weird guy who stands up at the end of the game and does his crazy disco-type dance played a role in the process, somehow.
The idea here is clearly that the team was not selling enough shirts or hats or logos, or other merchandise, and so had to change the name so as to make that much more money from patrons when they walk through the gates.
We at the Daily Local News are all for everyone making a little more money, but sometimes we think we would just rather be hit in the head seven or nine times than to watch the process unfold like this.
Sometime in the summer of 2013, we will venture out Route 422 to stop by and catch a nice twilight twin bill featuring the Reading team. We will not pick up a uniform shirt, nor will we wear an ostrich feather in our �P� cap. Instead, we will look to the heavens and wonder what Uncle Robbie is thinking about all this foolishness.

64 and 98
64 and 98
91 - 71, the team is looking very sharp. I want to see Freel out there around 150 games, with Haynes gone. I have some reasons to believe this year. The Chemistry will be the key. If you want to look for a reason to believe look to Miley and Chambliss.
82 wins
Unless of course, Jupiter and Saturn align with Uranus (he he he - I said Uranus), then it will be 74-88.
And on a lighter note, I will also predit Jung Bong will get at least one single this year, then we can all say, "Despite a disappointing 5th place finish by the Reds, they lead the majors in Bong hits."
And can't you just hear Marty now, "After the Bong hit, several Reds players couldn't stop giggling, while munching down sunflower seeds 12 at a time."
"I came here to kick ass and chew bubble gum... and I'm all out of bubble gum."
- - Rowdy Roddy Piper
"It takes a big man to admit when he is wrong. I am not a big man"
- - Fletch
I'm going with 60-102, here's why:
*** VERY inexperienced in the starting rotation (no star pitchers)
*** Junior is already on his way to another injured season
*** Kearns may be going through a sophomore-like season
*** our bullpen is VERY GOOD, but definitely not great or superb
*** we are slow up the middle of the infield
*** Casey has been declining offensively every year
*** the Reds will likely trade the better players at the All-Star break
*** we have next to no bench
*** we made no acquisitions in the off-season that will make an impact this year
I am going to go with 71...crappies that is, first day, with the biggest of the week besting 3 pounds. I have no idea how many wins the Reds will net though, well at least not until trader dan is done.
Good luck.
I just don't see them being able to stay healthy enuf to win more.
This is not the Boone & Bowden show anymore. That should be good for 15 more wins by accident.......
MAKING A PITCH: The Reds entered Sunday seventh in the National League in pitching so far this spring with a 4.44 ERA.
Even more impressive is the starting pitchers' ERA of 3.89
Reds win 87 games 2nd place.
70 wins
"Whatever you choose, however many roads you travel, I hope that you choose not to be a lady. I hope you will find some way to break the rules and make a little trouble out there. And I also hope that you will choose to make some of that trouble on behalf of women." - Nora Ephron
71-91. I think there will be as many questions after this year, as there are before it.
70-92 and that is being optimistic.
Don't drink the water and maybe you can avoid thatOriginally Posted by gonelong
75-80 wins. Starting pitchers will bleed wins from this team. Don't be fooled by ST numbers. Pigs ears, silk purse and all that.

An education union has called for an urgent inquiry into the Novopay payroll system following recent revelations of a security breach as well as ongoing teacher pay problems, since its introduction three months ago.
Marshall Laing Primary School in Auckland was briefly able to access the confidential details of another school, which follows months of pay issues for teachers and support staff.
Associate Education Minister Craig Foss told Radio New Zealand today the security breach was a one-off because of human error in entering an incorrect school code.
NZEI Te Riu Roa national secretary Paul Goulter said there needed to be accountability and an assurance the problems would not be repeated.
"Principals, teachers and support staff need a guarantee from the Secretary of Education that this fiasco can be fixed and the system up and running by next payroll date.
"We need to put a deadline on this because schools are about to begin working out end-of-year payments and it seems that the problems are compounding."
Mr Goulter said the problems plaguing Novopay had caused stress to schools and staff.
"Now the latest security issues around teachers' pay details are further indications that there are ongoing and serious system problems.
"Clearly the $30 million pay system was not ready and properly tested before it was introduced and the Ministry of Education can no longer continue to downplay these problems."
Prime Minister John Key today said it was essential to bring in the Novopay system because the previous system was "effectively falling over".
"Novopay was late, so that made the situation even worse and then there are about three different layers that teachers can be paid at.
"So a lot of the basic stuff, as I understand it - I could be wrong - but as I understand it, is happening just fine," he said on TVNZ's Breakfast show
But he said it was not acceptable that there had been so many errors with the system.
"I think the vendor here, Talent 2, they are responsible for the system and we contract them like any other company and the pressure has to come on them."
Mr Key said if the problems were not fixed, it would probably face a financial penalty.
Novopay business manager Rebecca Elvy said the payroll failings were being addressed.
"We've developed a way for relief teachers to follow up their pay issues without needing to go through the various schools they work for. We've made substantial fixes to the reports schools use to verify their payroll - and we're continuing to work towards a 100 per cent fix on that issue," Ms Elvy said.

Frequently Asked Questions, Religious Studies
What can I do with a religious studies degree?
What can't you do with a religious studies degree? The world is changing dramatically and just about every community is becoming (or will become) more religiously diverse. Those who are able to understand the changing world and the religiously diverse communities in which they live are more likely to be successful as professionals and as citizens. Students who have completed the religion program have gone on to a wide variety of careers, to graduate schools in religious studies, to seminary, and to a variety of other graduate programs. For example, recent graduates have gone to Harvard University Divinity School, Asbury Theological Seminary, Duke University Divinity School, and Florida State University's doctoral program in religious studies. And because the religion major is relatively small in terms of credit hours, students easily combine it with other majors'including many that typically lead to immediate post-graduate employment.
This sounds good, but what if I'm not sure?
The academic study of religion is seldom taught in high school, so most students have no idea what to expect in a religious studies class. Because the department's introductory courses all meet some general education requirement, it is possible for students to get a taste of religious studies on a 'no risk' basis; that is, the course can simply be used to fulfill a general education requirement or it may also be used as a first step toward a major or minor. Either way, the course counts toward fulfilling graduation requirements.
Why study religion at Western Kentucky University?
Simply put, the undergraduate religion program at WKU is the largest and best in the state of Kentucky. Its faculty contains internationally recognized scholars in the field who are committed teachers.

Further Information
With these basics, you can easily edit your User Page.
- Detailed formatting information: simple wiki editing examples.
- Also, check out tutorial from wikipedia.
- To add pictures and tables to pages.
Set Up Your Lab Wiki
Redirect Your Lab Site
- The Endy lab webpage (http://web.mit.edu/endy) points directly to the Endy lab page on OpenWetWare. The primary advantage of this approach is that instead of a single member of the lab being responsible for maintaining the lab website, any member of the lab can easily edit and improve the site. The navigation bar, such as the one on the Endy research page, is useful for traversing through webpages within the site and gives some continuity to the lab pages.
Lab Page Templates
- Soon to come: templates for setting up your lab wiki page. If you're feeling creative, make up your own format!
Images coming soon.
Organize Internal Lab Functions
- Labs can also uses the wiki for a number of lab internal functions. In the Endy internal site, lab members post information on their lab meetings, retreats, lab chores, ordering, etc. Again, since every member of the lab can edit the site and can access it from anywhere, it makes communication about administrative matters easier.
Orient New Lab Members
- The Lauffenburger lab posts up information for new lab members. This is especially useful for large labs that have a steady influx of new people and visitors. Rather than the lab manager having to go through all the procedures and answer a bunch of questions, you can just direct the new person to a site to save time.

The little dog? She sure doesn't look like a Hall of Famer.
An abused shelter dog, with no pedigree or papers. Pointy ears. Barely bigger than a $4 sirloin. About as tough as one.
Yet three Saturdays ago, a roomful of veterinarians cheered and wept and took pictures like paparazzi, as little Maya -- a black and tan Chihuahua from Hixson -- was inducted into the Tennessee Animal Hall of Fame.
Sure, she kinda saved the life of this person. And that person. Another person.
But the real reason the Tennessee Veterinary Medical Association chose this maybe-6-pound pooch to join the Hall of Fame ranks alongside bomb-sniffing police dogs and therapy horses?
Her heart.
About as big as Oregon, crammed into that little Chihuahua body. Like God got her heart confused with a lion's. And it beats loyally, day in and day out, for one person.
"She is always at my side,'' said Linda Prabish.
Linda and her husband, Ben, live in Colonial Shores. Linda, who grew up on an Illinois farm where cats, horses and a stray goat named Gwendolyn were more like family members than pets, went looking a few years ago for a new dog.
Stumbled onto the website of an animal shelter just up the road; stared for a long time at the photo of a Chihuahua that wouldn't make eye contact with the camera. Her face downcast. Like that of a victim.
Called the shelter. Workers said they were about to euthanize the dog.
"It's not friendly. It's not loving,'' they told Linda.
The dog had been abandoned by a breeder. Weighed 3 pounds when they found her. Locked in a cage her whole life.
"She didn't know what a bowl was,'' Linda remembered. "She didn't know what grass was.''
The Prabishes demanded to buy the dog. They named her Maya, had her neutered, and in the 24 hours following surgery, Linda never let Maya touch the ground. Held her, hugged her. Whispered to her. Planted seeds of trust.
And that is how Maya came to love Linda.
And how Maya helped Linda get her life back.
"I have PTSD,'' Linda said.
So bad that Linda, who loves to travel, was once home-bound. When the post-traumatic-stress-disorder attacks come -- and they can be crippling -- Maya senses them approaching like a faraway storm.
She'll distract Linda. Bark. Pretend to be hurt. Or curl up in her lap, open those brown eyes and pour as much dog-love into that PTSD wound as she can.
"I think she has the same stuff wrong with her as I do with me,'' said Linda, who wound up training Maya as a service dog.
When she drives, Linda buckles Maya up in her lap. Like a canine GPS, Maya stares ahead, to the left, to the right, listening. Linda, who can't hear certain pitches, isn't always aware when sirens or ambulances are near.
"She'll nudge me. Put her paw on my arm,'' Linda said.
When Ben, like any of us, gets agitated with things and his blood pressure rises, Maya will run over and hop in his lap.
"You can't be mad when you're petting an animal,'' he said.
Once, when they visited Ben's mother in the nursing home, Maya jumped on the nursing home bed, and laid down on her legs.
And didn't move.
"We pulled back the covers. Her legs were swollen like footballs,'' said Ben, who then immediately called for help.
Once, on another trip to the nursing home, Maya snuck into the open door of a stranger's room and jumped into the arms of a man she'd never met.
And laid on his chest.
"That afternoon, he had a heart attack,'' said Linda.
Once, a friend was visiting, talking with Linda and Ben in the living room. Maya jumped up on the friend's lap and started sniffing her arm.
One particular spot on her arm.
Days later, the woman went to the doctor. Who examined her arm. And that one spot.
"Skin cancer,'' Linda said.
Yeah, I know. A Chihuahua. From a shelter.
This Tuesday morning, the Prabishes and Maya will be on WRCB's "Three Plus You." The Prabishes want you to know that training a service dog doesn't have to cost a lot of money. If you see a service dog in public, don't rush up. They're hard at work.
"Like a cop, guarding a bank,'' Ben said.
All right, all right. Your dog may never make the Hall of Fame. Guarding the bank? It only guards the food bowl.
But is there anything sweeter than the love of a good animal? The tail that wags like it's on a motor? That loyalty that would cross every desert on Earth just to get back home to you?
"It's one of the few places in life where God gives us a face as to what unconditional love looks like,'' said Dr. Randy Hammon, Maya's vet.
They say all dogs go to heaven.
Maybe they give us a glimpse of what it's like before we get there.

The only players I use the #9 and #13 picks on are Warmack and Mingo.
I don't think Milliner is worth a top 15 pick. He looks like another Kyle Wilson to me. Nassib won't fit in Mornhinweg's west coast offense, nor will Geno Smith. Cordarrelle Patterson won't fit on a roster that already has Holmes, Hill, Kerley, and hopefully Braylon Edwards. Austin is another Kerley, don't need him.
Otherwise, if Warmack and Mingo can't be had, Idzik should trade down into the mid 20s. The draft value chart says you can get a late 1st AND a 2nd for the 13th overall pick, so find a team picking late 1st looking to move up and trade down, scooping their 2nd rounder as well.
In the 2nd round, I think if Mike Glennon is there you gotta take a shot with him.
Nassib is actually perfect for the WCO because he can make quick short throws with anticipation. However, I think the Jets are putting up a smokescreen so the Bills overdraft.
I think Mike Glennon is good too actually but it's hard to evaluate the QBs coming out of college. If Jets take him in 2nd round then they obviously feel he will be a starter in 2014 and beyond (I'd imagine).
Honestly, I'd try to trade down that #9 pick and grab Warmack/Cooper with #13. It's easier said than done but this solidifies our line and gives us extra picks. I think Mingo is sort of a grooming project and I'd rather go with Jarvis Jones at this point from what I've watched on tape.
2 Beasts from Bama and LSU......Sign me up
I'm not high on the idea of taking a guard so high, but I'll admit that Warmack will almost definitely be a damn good player right out of the gate, so its cool
Mingo, goes without saying.....Stud passrusher
I think Mingo has very hight bust potential.
I think one of the guards will be there at #13, so you'd have to go with Mingo at #9 and take the guard that is still there at #13. Mingo and Warmack would be a great first round.
I like Warmack, but much prefer Cooper. Unfortunately hearing Lions are loving him and might take him at 5.
Warmack at 9 is no good. Mingo makes more sense at 9 then take Cooper at 13 if he's still around or trade down to the bottom of the round and take DJ Fluker put him at RG while he acclimates to the pros with the medium/long term view to putting him in at RT and kicking Howard into G if needs be. With the extra pick Jets can get another decent player in the 2nd round or potentially more in the later rounds etc with the trade down for Fluker.

On 01/23/2012 at approximately 6:21 a.m. Lamar Police Officers were dispatched to 805 S. 9th Street on the report of a dead body. Upon arrival discovered Rory Alba age 45, of Lamar to be unresponsive. Lamar Ambulance Service personnel responded, but were unable to revive the victim.

McCrea also explained he could not release information regarding who the individual arrested was until formal charges have been made. Information regarding the manner of death of Mr.
Alba is also being withheld until formal charges have been made in the case.
On 01/23/2013 Detectives with the Lamar Police Department filed paperwork requesting criminal charges of Second Degree Murder and Domestic Violence for Marla D. Abling age 47 of Lamar in reference to the death of Rory Alba.
Abling was taken into custody at the scene of Mr. Alba's death and has been in custody since yesterday morning. She is currently being held at the Prowers County Jail.

The affidavit states what the reporting officer found on the scene. Alba was found lying face down with a light colored extension type electrial cord tied in a knot around his neck. According to reports filed by officers on the scene Abling said to the officers, "He found out where I live and we have a restraining order, he showed up about 20 minutes ago and I wasn't going to take it again. I put the cord around his neck."

Designing a hand-held device presents a number of challenges. Designing that device for use by folks with impaired physical abilities introduces another layer of complexity. Ensuring that the experience is appropriate for an audience from five year-old kids to ninety five year-old retirees controlling one of their senses is just downright difficult.
Matt & Shane recently worked with Australian innovator and international success story Cochlear to design device to help bionic ear implant recipients monitor and control their hearing. The design represented an evolution to a simpler more usable device.
Particular attention is given to:
Design artefacts: wireframes and screen mock-ups showing evolution from early design concepts through refined user interface.
The full UX lifecycle including; ethnographic research, iterative design cycles and usability testing with Cochlear implant recipients.
The approach taken to coordinate design exercises across multiple teams including; industrial design, ergonomics, electronics, software design, graphic design and small-screen user interface design.
The delicate balance required when attempting to improve user experience without completely confounding the expectations of a large and vocal existing user-base.
The objective of this case study is to provide conference delegates with genuine insight into the design process by exposing the methods and also by showing the actual designs at various points of their development.
Along the way, we detail the pitfalls encountered and outline the practical solutions that were applied. Processes and lessons learned are applicable across UX projects of all types, not just mobile and hand-held product design projects.

Subaru Telescope Helps UH Hilo's Canoe ProjectUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Hilo
Interim Director of Development
Alyson Kakugawa-Leong, (808) 974-7642
Director of Media Relations
The donation was offered during a ceremony at the University on Thursday, July 31. Dr. Hiroshi Karoji, director of Subaru Telescope, presented the check to Chancellor Rose Tseng. Also present were Dr. William (Pila) Wilson, chair and professor of Hawaiian Studies, Chad (Kalepa) Baybayan, Hōkū Alakaʻi project coordinator, and Paula Thomas, interim director of development at UH Hilo.
"The Hōkū Alakaʻi voyaging program is developing a curriculum strong in math, science and Hawaiian culture that focuses on the traditions of maritime culture," Tseng explained. Drawing from astronomy, geography, history, marine science, mathematics, meteorology, and language and culture, the curriculum will provide students with a broad understanding and practical skills necessary to navigate an ocean-faring canoe. Part of the program involves building the vessel, a 57-foot double-hulled canoe now being built on Oʻahu that can accommodate roughly 30 people on coastal sails and a dozen for extended deep sea voyages.
"At this point in time, there is a need to invest in curriculum materials and instructional tools, such as a portable planetarium, to bring the science of astronomy and the art of navigation onto the canoe," Thomas noted. "This equipment is expensive and takes time to accumulate. The support from Subaru Telescope will enable us to outfit the canoe in a much shorter time."
"The ultimate goal of the program is to give students an understanding of how to build healthy communities by providing them the basic skills and self-confidence to become contributing stewards and quiet leaders, while attending to issues of sustainability and self-sufficiency, issues that all explorers, past and present, are faced with," Baybayan said.
"The gift from Subaru will help us acquire some tools for learning the sky," Wilson added. "There is much to learn.
"For example, the ancient Hawaiians had their own names for the constellations that they used to navigate the Pacific. And while the Hawaiians today are rediscovering how their ancestors navigated, one of things they do not know is what name went with what constellation."
"I am excited to see the canoe when it sails to the Big Island after its completion," said Karoji. "Simply learning the Hawaiian, older traditional names of stars gives you perspective on how people understood and used the sky over past centuries. This program is designed to allow students to explore the connections between traditional and contemporary knowledge. It is a pleasure to be able to contribute, in a small way, to the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo for the training of students who have the potential to navigate in this way."
This is the third donation that Subaru Telescope has made to UH Hilo. Last year, the Japanese astronomers provided a gift of equipment for the University's Department of Physics and Astronomy.
The Subaru gift comes from the Japanese Foundation for the Promotion of Astronomy, an independent organization that supports the outreach efforts of the astronomy community in Japan. The current administrative director of the foundation is Keiichi Kodaira, former director of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan.

Attendees will be able to sample the beers and then vote for the 2012 Champion Real Ale of Chicagoland. Last year's winners were:
- Goose Island Beer Company Skully (saison aged in oak barrels with fresh strawberries, honey, and Champagne yeast)
- Goose Island Beer Company Bourbon County Brand Coffee Stout
- Three Floyds Zombie Dust
Will a local brewer earn repeat honors in 2012? You decide!
Day of the Living Ales will be held at Goose Island Wrigleyville, 3535 N Clark St, Chicago, over two sessions: 1-5 pm (4:45 last call) and 6-10 pm (9:45 last call).

Mark Hughes reiterated his demand for the pre-match handshakes between rival players to be scrapped, after Anton Ferdinand's decision to snub John Terry and Ashley Cole threatened to overshadow the goalless west London derby between Queens Park Rangers and Chelsea.
Ferdinand, the QPR defender, faced Terry for the first time since the Chelsea captain's acquittal in July for racially abusing him in the corresponding Premier League fixture last season. Cole had given evidence on Terry's behalf at the trial. It had been widely predicated that Ferdinand would not shake the hand of either Chelsea player, given the depths of the animosity, and so there was nothing revelatory or dramatic when he did not do so.
The surprise was the sight of Park Ji-sung, the QPR captain, walking past Terry without a handshake and then electing again not to shake with him at the coin toss. Park, who played with Rio Ferdinand, Anton's older brother, at Manchester United, was the only other player to ignore Terry. "It was a personal decision [whether to shake hands] for each player," Hughes said. The QPR manager was frustrated to have to address the topic again – he had been questioned about it at his pre-match press conference – and he made it clear that he wanted the routine to stop.
"This element of the Respect campaign is something that causes more problems than it solves and I don't think that was the intention when it was introduced," Hughes said. "Should the handshakes carry on? I hope not. The game was important today and thankfully, it was played in good spirit."
The Chelsea manager, Roberto Di Matteo, said nothing about the handshakes, his complaint was that Terry should have had a penalty after he was wrestled down by Ryan Nelsen. "It was a stonewall penalty," he said. Di Matteo did not say whether he felt the furore over Terry had influenced the decision by the referee, Andre Marriner.

With Romney ahead, GOP rivals look to use Iowa debate for immediate boost before straw poll
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) ' Seven Republican presidential contenders will try to use Thursday's debate in the leadoff caucus state of Iowa to cast themselves as the strongest alternative to one rival: front-runner Mitt Romney.
At least two ' Rep. Michele Bachmann and former Gov. Tim Pawlenty, both of Minnesota ' are hoping for a last-minute boost before an important weekend test vote that could make or break their campaigns. Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman is looking to make a strong impression in his first debate, while Texas Rep. Ron Paul is out to prove his ideas are more mainstream than fringe.
Others struggling to gain traction ' former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, ex-Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania and businessman Herman Cain ' are simply seeking to promote their issues and maybe even boost their profiles.
All risk being overshadowed by one Republican who won't be on the stage ' Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who has signaled he's likely to join the field in the coming days and will visit the early nominating states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina this weekend.
"This is the official opening of the season," said Republican strategist Terry Holt. "It's the debut and you better have your best stuff ready. That raises the stakes."
Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who lost the GOP nomination in 2008, is hoping for a repeat of a June debate in New Hampshire, where he emerged largely unscathed. He enjoys a commanding lead in fundraising and strong poll numbers and wants to protect both by sticking to his message.
"He will focus on jobs and why his 25 years of experience as a businessman and entrepreneur give him a unique set of skills to lead on the economy," Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul said.
It could be a winning strategy.
"For Gov. Romney, as the overall front-runner at this point, the key to any debate situation is to hold serve and continue to play to your strength, which is talking about the economy," strategist Brian Jones said. "What's been happening plays into the message of the Romney campaign."
That was a reference to the recent debate in Washington over spending and a souring Wall Street, issues that have only emphasized the importance of the nation's economy in the political debate. With unemployment stubbornly high and jobs not returning quickly enough, the Republicans are eager to go head-to-head with President Barack Obama in 2012.
His top rivals were determined to deny Romney that chance. Pawlenty, whose performance in a previous debate was panned when he initially refused to repeat the "Obamneycare" epithet he coined to link Romney's health care law in Massachusetts with Obama's national health overhaul, looked to repair his image and start anew.
"This is Pawlenty's last chance," GOP strategist Rich Galen said. "If he doesn't do well, I suspect it's three strikes and you're out."
Pawlenty knows he needs a strong showing if he's to do well in the straw poll in Ames.
"The way forward for this country is going to start in Ames this Saturday," Pawlenty told an audience in Atlantic, Iowa, on Wednesday. "It's the end of the preseason in this campaign. This is the formal kickoff. I ask for your support. I need your help."
He's also hoping to deny Bachmann a triumph. During one interview, she was asked if she was a "flake." Her first debate performance suggested she was not.
"I think that Bachmann has the most to gain and the most to lose. She is now a target where she wasn't before," former Republican Party of Iowa chairman Richard Schwarm said.
So, too, is Huntsman.
"The one who has the most to lose is Huntsman," said Galen of Obama's former ambassador to China. "A lot of people were hoping he would come on the scene and shake things up. There has been nothing."
Huntsman aides said not to count him out.
"Jon Huntsman is going to demonstrate that he is the only leader who has a proven track record of conservative governance and job creation that the Republican nominee will need to beat President Obama next November," spokesman Tim Miller said.
Yet in recent weeks, Huntsman has seen a raft of departures from his campaign, including his campaign manager.
That shake-up has paled in comparison to the one Gingrich suffered when his entire brain trust resigned earlier this year.
Laden with debt and having trouble raising money, Gingrich has severely curtailed his campaign schedule and is not participating in the straw poll. Santorum, too, has faced fundraising and polling troubles but has worked the grass-roots activists in Iowa to build support among social conservatives.
"Obviously the front-runner is Gov. Romney and he has got to maintain his position in the race," Republican strategist Danny Diaz said. "The others will want to use this as a way to build some momentum."

Am I bullying the bullied dead girl...
No, I am criticizing the prosecutor bully.
ADDED: What if, after the prosecutor charged the kids with crimes for bullying, one of those kids got so upset he committed suicide?
60 comments:
- Pogo said...
Althouse; "I think it's terrible to use criminal law to achieve social goals like this."
Some bullying does become a Lord of the Flies microcosm of exceptional cruelty. But criminalizing it is the wrong approach.
While bullies, like the poor, you always have with you, our society is experiencing an increasingly barbaric youth, more violent and aggressive and cruel than one and two and three generations ago (e.g. the recent Philadelphia flash mob riots, Columbine, etc.).
The question is why?
Making this a crime misses the point entirely, and kicks the can down the road again.
- lyssalovelyredhead said...
(note- I can't watch the video and am just going off AA's post.)
This is the sort of attitude that I was writing about last week. It should be about what is right or wrong, not about who has the most sympathetic side. Just because a girl had a really sympathectic story, like the girl here, doesn't mean that everything and anything allegedly done on her behalf is right and good.

- Big Mike said...
Okay, I need a law professor, or maybe even a former law student, to explain this to me. My understanding is that if I punch someone who richly deserves a fist in the face, but he has a congenital weakness and the result of the punch is that the person I've attacked dies, then under the law I've committed homicide. Not manslaughter, homicide. Doesn't matter that 999 times out of a thousand the person would merely lie on the ground with a sore jaw, doesn't matter if I didn't know about his weakness, it's homicide.
First of all, am I correct so far? Because this is what my senseis drilled into me during all my martial arts training.*
Now here's where things begin to break down. To my way of thinking, if the bullying would normally cause tears and mental anguish for a high school girl, but 999 times out of a thousand would not drive her to suicide, then why should not the bullies be just as guilty of homicide? No, they didn't mean for her to die, and, no, they couldn't have known she was that psychologically weak, and 999 times out of a thousand the girl wouldn't have died as a result of their activities. But if one attacks a person and as a direct consequence of the attack that person dies -- this is the one time out of a thousand -- then I assert that one should be prepared to pay the price.
"Don't do the crime if you can't do the time."
* Good reason for taking up Aikido, which is a purely defensive martial art. If you kill somebody one can get a whole bunch of 4th and 5th and higher-degree black belt Aikidokans to testify that you could not have applied your technique in an offensive manner.
- Tom said...
Good for you, Ann. Bullies are people, too, with their own set of problems, and they can't, shouldn't be held responsible for their targets' reactions, which are clearly pathological if extreme.
Being on the receiving end of bullying can be a boon-- what doesn't kill you will toughen you up and inure you to life's rough and tumble kind of shit out there. It's darwinian lose-win character remolding that bullies offer us. It can make people do things to others they never thought they'd do.
In school, it's always the resenters and envious who gang up and bully; they're the people who must make somebody look and feel bad to bolster their self-worth. Often they're keen rationalizers for why they do what they do- targets deserve it, ask for it, a matter of revenge, or just because they can get away with it, etc. Bullies can use some truths, distortions or outright lies in their campaigns. They can rotten cherry-pick, take out of context, taunt, threaten, smear, etc. in person (which I personally respect) or anonymously on the net these days (the coward bullies.) They can set themselves up as (hanging) judge and jury in a kangaroo court. Targets often don't get to face their accuser bullies, who, btw, often do that outgoing clique thing because they're well-adjusted.
It's good we constitutionally protect bully speech and behavior.
- Ann Althouse said...
"First of all, am I correct so far?"
No. You have stated the core difference between tort law and criminal law.
- bagoh20 said...
It might be boring to the legalians here, but I wish Ann and commentariat would discuss more often the common legal concepts that the public may misunderstand.
Is there a blog where that is done?
- Tom said...
It is a matter of criminal law when bullies electronically monitor, eavesdrop and stalk their target. Patterns of harassment and implicit threats of violence and blackmail are often documented, as well, and go can criminal and tort, from what I've been told.
Still, even with irrefutable evidence in hand and a slamdunk case, it's a pain for victims to go legal-- why do vicious lawbreakers intent on ruining somebody's life deserve the consideration?
Thank you for standing up for the constitutional rights of all people, Ann
- lyssalovelyredhead said...
Big Mike,
Homicide is a general term that just means the killing of a person. All manslaugter is homicide, but not all homicide is manslaughter. What I think you are talking about is the difference between manslaughter and murder, in which case, you would be incorrect. Murder requires premeditation and intent, so, in your hypothetical, you could, possibly, be convicted of involuntary manslaughter, but certainly not murder (assuming the jury bought your story, of course).
Even if, however, we apply that rule and allow a person to be charged with murder or manslaughter for causing the death of another, we've got a lot of huge policy problems. In your hypothetical, the cause (the punch) and the effect (death) is clearly connected. But in the bullying case, there is an intervening cause, the girl actually acting to take her own life. She acted on her own to do this, despite her reasons.
In your hypo, you said even if this was the completely odd case that one wouldn't have expected it to result in suicide, the person could still be liable. Think of how wide that application could be. If Elin Woods committed suicide because her marriage went bad, could Tiger be liable? If a teen gets caught sneaking out, gets grounded, and commits suicide, could the parents be liable?
I'm all for charging the kids for actual crimes that they may have committed (i.e., assault, statutory rape), but charging them for her death would be a big problem.

Then justice would have been well-served.
As it is, these fucking punk kids will get off lightly.
- New "Hussein" Ham said...
"... in the New York Times?"
By the way ... Mrs. Bighead ... you're not "in the New York Times."
A video you are in was copied onto their website so that they don't have to pay someone to produce content.
That's no more "in the New York Times" than me commenting on their website.
Jesus, you're fucking getting a massively inflated ego that is not in any way justified by the content you are producing.
- traditionalguy said...
The Prosecutor now has the evidence against you in his hand. Bullying this dead girl that was driven to suicide is like desecration of her dead body.In fact everybody that watched the Talking Heads is now an accomplice after the fact. Think of yourself as a Duke LaCrosse player.
- k*thy said...
Lyssa, thanks for the explanation. That makes sense. And I agree final paragraph.
- Lem said...
I would make the bullies do community service at schools for kids with autism and down syndrome, twice a week for 10 to 12 weeks.
- buster said...
@ Big Mike:
I disagree with Althouse and agree with you, but your argument is confused.
The distinction you're trying to draw is not between manslaughter and homicide, but rather between manslaughter and murder. "Homicide" derives from the Latin for "man-killing," and both manslaughter and murder are forms of unlawful homicide. The difference between them has to do with the mental state of the killer. A murderer acts with the intention of killing, and a person committing manslaughter acts recklessly or with negligence. (Like everything legal, it's more complicated than this, but in essence the above is true.) So what you should have argued is that the Aikido guy would be guilty of manslaughter.
Whether the bullies are guilty of manslaughter (negligent homicide) is a close one, because the idea of negligence is taken more seriously in criminal law than in tort law. I'm not a criminal lawyer, but I would guess that an indictment for manslaughter on the facts stated in the newspaper stories would not be dismissed by the court, and the case could get to the jury. What the jury would do is anyone's guess.
Traditional guy, who I understand does criminal law, would probably have a more informed opinion.
- buster said...
@ Lyssa:
I posted before I read your excellent post which makes my point better than I did. I agree with your policy point, but I don't think the foreseeability problem looms very large in the case of the bullies. The causal relation between their conduct and the girl's suicide is pretty straightforward. Juries decide such questions routinely.
- lyssalovelyredhead said...
Thanks, buster. I'm more worried about the precedent. Allow this one, and then push harder on the next one, and so on. Over-zealous prosecutors and all that.
You know, before Mike Nifong, I probably would have just said let discretion take over, but after that, I'm pretty hesitant to open any doors at all.
- Lyssa
- Shanna said...
Think of how wide that application could be. If Elin Woods committed suicide because her marriage went bad, could Tiger be liable? If a teen gets caught sneaking out, gets grounded, and commits suicide, could the parents be liable?
Or, as so often happens, if someone breaks it off with their significant other, and then they kill themselves, should they be held liable? I actually wonder if one of the guys dumped her, and that contributed to her death as much as the bullying.
- buster said...
@ Lyssa:
I agree. Althouse's concern with prosecutorial discretion is valid, but I don't think that *in this case* a manslaughter charge would be an abuse. Of course the bullies are adolescents who had no idea that what they were doing could result in death. But many people convicted of manslaughter could say the same. Suppose a father left a loaded gun on the living-room sofa and his three-year old shot himself to death.
- Ann Althouse said...
@Tom Would you mind talking about the actual case and the charges in it? This isn't a matter of stalking. It's teens being really mean to their schoolmates and now being charged with felonies.
- Tom said...
Oh, sorry, Ann. Didn't realize tangential situations weren't ever welcome in the threads here.
It's just that I know someone who has been stalked and harassed by adults seeking to "ruin him and his child's life" who hide behind the constitutionally protected speech defense, (although in this case criminal activity has been established beyond any doubt.) What I thought relevant here was that they've intimated were he were to kill himself, that they would experience no moral or legal reprisal. I see a similarity in this case with the other, but maybe you don't. Teenagers are old enough.
The law's inadequate to the situation, especially given the medium of the ubiquitous and largely anonymous internet. The law in the case of this unfortunate girl being psychically assaulted in the school halls (and maybe internet) is inadequate, as well. The law doesn't satisfy, so be it. And life goes on, or not.
- lyssalovelyredhead said...
Shanna said: "I actually wonder if one of the guys dumped her, and that contributed to her death as much as the bullying."
I was wondering the same thing. I remember knowing several girls in high school who fell head over heels with a guy (who they were having sex with), particular an older guy, and just let him walk all over them; did *anything* he wanted sexually, let him run around on her, ignored all the signs that she was obviously just a piece of tail to him, etc. They were generally emotional basket cases.
There's some indication here that she may have been getting "passed around" by the guys (I hate even typing that). I wonder if it was a similar situation, made worse by being a laughing stock? Certainly, lesser things have driven teens to suicide.
- Lyssa
- former law student said...
Murder requires premeditation and intent
To my understanding premeditation is only an element of one type of first degree murder.
Voluntary manslaughter requires intent; malice marks the distinction between manslaughter and murder. Malice in Californian is defined by statute. There are two types of malice: express and implied. Express malice exists "when there is manifested a deliberate intention unlawfully to take away the life of a fellow creature." Malice may be implied by a judge or jury "when no considerable provocation appears, or when the circumstances attending the killing show an abandoned and malignant heart."
In California the DA could charge the teens with second-degree murder. S/he would have to make the case that the teens' behavior amounted to recklessness so great that their malice could be inferred.

Ann Althouse said...
@Tom Would you mind talking about the actual case and the charges in it? This isn't a matter of stalking. It's teens being really mean to their schoolmates and now being charged with felonies.
Correct me, it's been about a week since I saw the charges in an article and I thought I saw stalking as one of the charges filed. Tried to find a list, but only got an incomplete one (what else to expect from the Globe?).
I thought when I saw them that the prosecutor was reaching on most of the charges, particularly stalking. Maybe it's me, but I smell another DA trying to pull a Nifong here and get a national rep for "bringing the murderers to justice". I don't think most of the charges will stick.
I would also disagree with Pogo that kids are that much crueler today. The Philly incident was a mirror image of one that happened about 30 years ago, it was just organized a little better because of wireless technology. The same can be said, to a lesser degree, about Columbine and the Internet, where people can find kindred souls no matter how dark the interest.
PS Your question about one of the defendants committing suicide would be answered by, "She was just enforcing the law", but it's an interesting point, especially if the charges were eventually thrown out.
- Joe said...
My concern is that prosecutions like this all too often turn into witch hunts were bit players and even the innocent get rounded up by a zealous prosecutor on a crusade.
This isn't merely hypothetical; we've seen this happen many times in the last decades.
One thing that's disturbing to me is the assumption by many that the cause and effect is clearly known here. How do we know that her suicide wasn't over a specific event, such as rejection by a boy she had a crush on? What if it was over a different matter all together?
- Titus said...
I have mixed emotions about this case.
I was bullied beyond belief in high school. Beat up, had to get a psychiatrists excuse in order to get out of phy ed and then had to make up my phy ed requirement by attending with the mentally challenged kids-while the boys were on the next field.
My parents and I had to actually meet with all of my teachers because they had to explain to my parents that my "femininity" was offensive and distracting to other students-no serious this really happened.
On Saturday nights when my parents went bowling I was alone in my house and the kids would come to my house and bang on all the windows and try and open the doors and the next morning fag and dick sucker was written on soap on all the windows and my dad would have to clean it up.
Kids dumped cow shit on my car in the school parking lot, etc.
Yea, I know wo is me.
But the shit totally made me stronger and I also had an outlet called drum corps where I hung out with people outside of school and fit in. I don't know what I would of done if I did not have the outside contact.
Didn't a couple of these boys rape her as well?
- exhelodrvr1 said...
How do you prosecute someone for a "psychological" crime? I think that is too slippery a slope to step on to.
- Titus said...
I always say if I can deal with what high school threw my way I can deal with anything in life which I pretty much have.
I am actually grateful about my high school experience now.
I don't think I would of been able to be as successful and achieved as much as I have without my high school experience.
One other thing high school taught me is to get some muscles. I was 5-10 and weighed 110 in high school. The first thing out of high school I did was join a gym and get bigger-it really helped.
- Titus said...
What is the definition of statutory rape?
- Oligonicella said...
Big Mike --
"Good reason for taking up Aikido, which is a purely defensive martial art."
Don't rely on that. There are number of techniques that are without doubt offensive, but with a **wink, wink** veneer of defense. It's a good art, though.
wv: yodinau - The technique of brushing a punch past the face, palm heeling the opponent's chin to spin their head, causing the spine to twist so you can put your left forearm against it providing a shear to pull the head back over (by the eyesockets) to offset their center of gravity to the point of no recovery for the purpose of releasing both hands simultaneously and dropping them backwards onto the back of their skull.
- Trooper York said...
"What is the definition of statutory rape?"
When you get your dick caught in one of the lions in front of the Library at Bryant Park. True story.
- Cedarford said...
Tom - "Being on the receiving end of bullying can be a boon-- what doesn't kill you will toughen you up and inure you to life's rough and tumble kind of shit out there. It's darwinian lose-win character remolding that bullies offer us. It can make people do things to others they never thought they'd do."
Yes, bullying can lead to wondrous reactions:
1. It can drive a bullied person to seek a gang wherein they can have safety in numbers - which they wouldn't have joined otherwise. And then embark on a life of crime. In investigating some of the new, violent gangs, officials have traced their origin back to Asian, Latin, and Haitian immigrants whose founders were bullied by native blacks, sometimes in Jr chapters of violent domestic gangs. Haitian in Miami - "80 Street saved me from the bullies. 80 Street crew set me up drug dealing. No one beat me anymore and I had money. I had two guns, one hidden inside school in case the Americans who beat us who were in their own gang, wished to rumble. Even though I have been in jail 3 times, 80 Street was the best thing that ever happened to me at school. I give thanks to God I was allowed to join and live free of fear."
2. Law enforcement ties half of school violence to have been precipitated by bullying. Including shootings. Shootings, like bullying, build character in young people. Like stabbings and blugeonings, they prepare kids better for the world as it is, I guess. And when a suicidal student shoots teachers and bystanders as well as the bully, it helps survivors and wounded better understand what war is like, in a direct academic context.

Wouldn't that be Bronztiality?

Did the professor compare this story to the Midwest girl who killed herself after her adult neighbor broke her heart over the Internet?
The authorities couldn't find a charge that would stick as I recall.
- Freder Frederson said...
It's teens being really mean to their schoolmates and now being charged with felonies.
So Ann, Ms. Law Professor, could you please explain what specific acts the prosecutor charged against these girls that would not be felonies if they were adults?
And while the statutory rape laws in Mass may not be to your liking, apparently it is what it is.
- Big Mike said...
I disagree with Althouse and agree with you, but your argument is confused.
Well, that's not a surprise.
I'd like to thank Professor Althouse, lyssa, FLS and buster for their efforts to clarify the situation for a layman like me.
FWIW, the distinction I was drawing w.r.t. martial arts was between karate versus the defense-oriented Aikido. Karate involves the application of violence -- one dominates one's opponent by defeating his attack and applying one's own speed and strength. Aikido(at least the version I was taught, Oligonicella) can only use the energy that the attacker applies, so to a good first approximation if I were to take someone's life using an Aikido technique then that person was attempting to take mine.
- halojones-fan said...
Ann, the issue here is that the language you use casts you as not only in favor of "they're innocent" but makes it look like you don't think they did anything wrong AT ALL.
Is that the case? Are you really taking the attitude that words are not and cannot be meaningful? If so, then what's up with all these posts where you complain when people say bad things about you? If nobody should care what other people say, then why do you care about what other people say?
"It's not about that, it's just about the case." Well, yes, but there it is; it is "about that". You're talking as though the prosecutor just woke up one day and say "hey, I know, I'm gonna fuck up a bunch of kids' lives, what trumped-up bullshit can I use to do that?" That's not the case. What's happening is that there are several bad actors who need to be dealt with, and this is the best means the legal system can provide for doing so.
People are comparing this to the Duke/Nifong case, which is stupid, because that was a case where the prosecutor manipulated evidence to create a crime were nothing had happened.
- halojones-fan said...
Big Mike: What you learned is "how to hit people really hard". Any prosecutor worth his salt would make absolute hash out of a defense that "my training is in defensive arts, not offensive attacks." That's like saying that I didn't shoot him, yerroner, he just got in the way of my bullets.

Althouse - "What if, after the prosecutor charged the kids with crimes for bullying, one of those kids got so upset he committed suicide?"
If it was the ringleader of the bullies, it would be karmic justice, and we can only hope! I believe the dismayed "lead" bully's parents have reported that several messages have been delivered to their daughter suggesting suicide as atonement for her actions and as a way to avoid the stigma for the rest of her life as a murderer....
"Titus - Titus said...
I always say if I can deal with what high school threw my way I can deal with anything in life which I pretty much have.."
Titus, your bullying may have made you stronger..but there was still a risk it could have wrecked you. Or led you to off yourself, or march into school with a gun and take out your enemies if it had gotten truly intolerable, and others stood back and didn't intervene.
When it is gang bullying, the fantasy of the after-school challenge mano-a-mano and resolving things by bravely sticking up for yourself doesn't work....
And certain cases, fighting back only leads to to more bullying. I believe I remember the story of a small town in Texas basically deciding informally that since the law could not stop an out of control town bully, that he should be ambushed and shot to death. And was..
In any case, I liken law to what happens when all the power is with the bullies and nothing their victim can do to stop it - and bystanders get disgusted and exact vigilante justice. We all say we deplore vigilante justice, but do we?? Really?
As a teen, I was part of a group that decided to beat the crap out of two bullies who kept terrorizing and attacking a mildly retarded cerebral palsy student mainstreamed into classes. They were two grades below us. They were warned to lay off the retarded one, or else - and they basically laughed. So we beat the shit out of them. Two twerps against 4 of us who were two years older and much bigger. I threw one against a tree truck. They were stomped and kicked. One ended up in the hospital ER (broken ribs). But not before both were warned that if they told their parents what happened, we'd kill them. If they told cops, we'd kill them. They didn't say a word.
The cerebral palsy kid was left alone after word spread.
Morally, the 4 of us friends felt we were on the right side - even if we were older, bigger, and out-numbered the two bullies. And kicked 'em when they were down and begging for us to stop. Because going after a retarded kid really broke a code..

Maybe. But it is still something you should put on your resume if you running for governor in New York State. Just sayn'

FLS is completely right about premeditation and intent. I felt like I was leaving something a little bit out, there (I only took the bare minimum of crim law).
Since no one answered Titus's question about statutory rape, it is what would otherwise be consentual sex, but with someone who the law deems unable to consent, usually based on age. For example, an adult having sex with a teenager. It's still predatory (because the teen is presumed to be too young to make his/her own decisions), but not violent and not usually tramatic, as rape is usually considered to be. The age varies by state, and may states have laws that give a pass if the offender is close in age to the victim. Sometimes the difference in age required is small enough that two high school students can violate it (say, a senior who's 18 and a sophmore who is 15).
Today, I'm writing a memo on the law related to sex offender registries. How odd.

Did the dead girl commit suicide because she was being held accountable for something she'd done, something that she deserved to be called to account for?
We should just stop prosecuting people altogether. Someone might be upset.
- Dust Bunny Queen said...
the issue here is that the language you use casts you as not only in favor of "they're innocent" but makes it look like you don't think they did anything wrong AT ALL..
This issue isn't that the students did something wrong. They were bullies and morally in the wrong.
However, do their actions rise to the level that they are prosecuted as being directly and criminally responsible for the suicide of the young girl?
If they can be held criminally liable for hurting someone's feelings at what level do we prosecute bad behaviour. When is it criminal and when is it just bad behavior.
If I tell you your hair looks like crap and you dress like a bag lady and you are emotionally wounded and you decide that you will end it all, am I responsible? Maybe morally because I should have been kinder or just minded my own busines...... but criminally?
The issue is what level of bad, mean, bullying behavior becomes a crime.
- Cedarford said...
When society has individuals that seriously violate norms and people are hurt - society collectively expects either law and the state to intervene - or if that is impotent, for the citizens to have societal approval to exact informal justice and retribution.
Lawyers tend to be aghast at this normal response. Saying that only lawyers have a role, and if law and the lawyers for and against the State are impotent - society should just accept that nothing can be done.
In such a situation, we have outsiders and most lawyers say that perhaps a whole town is "wrong" to approve of someone writing "Murderer" on someone's car and front of their house......but if we do not prosecute those that significantly harm others, what do they expect?

Anti-defamation laws, hate crime laws, discrimination laws, etc. Your theory is invalid.

Not really. If I don't like you, don't want to hang out with you, refuse to sit with you at lunch, snub you at every chance I get, make faces behind your back. You feel so rejected and sad that you kill yourself. have I committed a crime?
I know: my example is a lot less bad than the things they say the bullys in this case have done. However, the question is at what level do those things constitute a crime.
Because the girl in question killed herself, when many of us have gone through much worse and survived does this mean that the exact same behaviour is criminal in one case and NOT in the other because the outcomes were different?
Serious question.

Yes. It sounds like these people were all in high school together. Although I don't know Mass's law on this in particular, I haven't heard anything that says the sex wasn't consensual. As far as its affect on her psyche, a non-consensual rape is quite different from a sophomore sleeping with her senior boyfriend. (or from a 50yo raping his 10yo niece, which is the kind of thing these laws were made for, not sexually active high school teenagers) IMO.
The issue is what level of bad, mean, bullying behavior becomes a crime.
Not only that, there is the issue of what level of crime it is. They may very well have committed some lesser crimes, but should they rise to the level of felony?
- Shanna said...

THIS. It's either a crime or it isn't. It's either worthy of prosecution or it isn't. I don't think those decision should be made based on people's reaction to the behavior.

- themightypuck said...
Prosecutorial discretion exists for a reason. It is always somewhat unjust that particular defendants are singled out. Problems arise when defendants are singled out for bad reasons like race or political affiliation etc. One would think overreach shouldn't be a problem since a functioning judiciary would throw bad cases out. In practice this doesn't always happen and corruption is always a risk but that's just the nature of politics.
- lyssalovelyredhead said...
Re: Shanna's comment:
To get obnoxiously legalistic about it, statutory rape sex is *not* consentual, because the victim is not old enough to effectively consent (which is why it is rape.) He or she may say "yes" and want to mean it, but that "yes" doesn't mean anything.
Also, FWIW, the uncle and 10 year old is probably molestation, as well as incest. I think in most cases, the line between stat. rape and molestation is something like 12-13 (post-pubescent). It's more about a predatory adult wooing a younger person who's not mature enough to make good decisions (think the Matthew McConehay (sp?) character from Dazed and Confused) or an adult in a position of power taking advantage (such as a teacher, coach, or friend of the kid's parents).
A lot of states have "Romeo and Juliet" laws that exempt teens who are close in age, such as the 18 year old and the 15 year old, but, at least in my state (TN), they don't necessarily cover all of high school. I'm pretty sure in TN, a freshman and a senior can still be illegal, which makes sense, since freshmen are generally kind of dumb and manipulatable. (I know I was!)

@halojones, you don't punch anybody in Aikido. I've seen people thrown by a sensei who were never touched by him at all. One of the most devastating techniques I personally know how to do involves little more than moving my face out of the trajectory of the attacker's fist (a good idea in any case) and then lightly touching him on his back shoulder as he moves past. Depending on how hard a punch he threw, he'll come down 3 to 10 feet away.
- Kirk Parker said...
"My understanding is that if I punch someone who richly deserves a fist in the face, but he has a congenital weakness and the result of the punch is that the person I've attacked dies..."
You're right about the detail, and your attempt to relate this to the bullying case might actually work.
However, your senseis did you a major disservice if they actually taught what you report. Yes, the "eggshell skull" rule can change what would ordinarily be simple battery into a charge of murder, but it can't change justifiable self-defense into an offense (or at least not in any American jurisdiction I'm aware of.) Genuine self-defense vs willing participant is what every self-defense endeavor I've ever been connected with has taught, not some (false) notion that "X is only defensive". Nor has anyone ever reinforced the "somebody richly deserves" a beating approach.

Well that is a big legalistic but I take your point :) I'm no lawyer. Still, I think everybody has an opinion on the close in age statutory rape cases, particularly one's where all the parties are still in high school.
The state sticks all these teenagers with raging hormones together all day and then you expect them to not date when they're only a few years apart in age? And sometimes these couples have been together for years and finally have sex and then it's illegal? I'm just kind of icky about these prosecutions.

DBQ - "Because the girl in question killed herself, when many of us have gone through much worse and survived does this mean that the exact same behaviour is criminal in one case and NOT in the other because the outcomes were different?
Serious question"
DBQ - There are a lot of actions that are not criminal, not even punishable as a civil ordnance fine - that can still land you in criminal trouble or being sued for a pretty penny if your actions later are seen as reckless or contributory to the harm done.
3 blacks in one city were charged and plead to negligent homicide after threatening an Asian man - who ran. They chased after him, and he was killed by a car trying to get away. Now, if the man had not been killed, but had complained later about being chased by 3 menacing black youth, the cops would say no harm was done, no crime committed. But the guy was dead, the car driver was not at fault, and though the 3 had nothing to do with the actual circumstances of the guy dying in a pedestrian collision - they caused it.
So it is consequences of behavior that often determine if it is criminal or not.
You wave a gun around and it goes off in your house and lodges a round in a wall, no problem. It goes out your window and blows the face off a lady 200 yards away..well now you have a criminal problem.
Bullies throw a clothed kid in the lake with witnesses around and the kid swims out wet and angry, no problem. No charges, no lawsuits.
(Consider what would happen if parents with wet kid go to police station or to lawyer. Consider what would happen if parents carrying dead wet kid out of lake call for the police and their family attorney)
Bullies throw a kid in and the kid drowns because he was weak - bullies now have a criminal investigation with witnesses to the homicide.
Actions and intent are the same - but harm from the different outcomes dictates the jump to state and civil sanctions in the latter scenario.
- Dust Bunny Queen said...
All of your examples are of physical threats or physical violence from external forces on the victim.
In the case of the harrassment of this girl (I believe??) and in the case of the internet bullying where the student was harrased by an adult: these are mental stresses and mental harm, not physical.
I would expect that if you physically cause harm by throwing someone into the lake and they die or in the case of the guy running away from the imminent threat of physical harm, there could be criminal and liablility issues.
The question is can there be lethal cases of bullying when the physical harm comes from the person the who killed their own self?
Taking your OWN life is a self made decision. No matter what kind of stress you are under, it is still your choice to kill your own self.
It doesn't make it right to bully and mentally intimidate, but does it rise to the level of actually physically causing death by your own hand.
A person who takes the course of killing themself may have other problems than the "bullying" that contributed to that decision. I don't think you can say that the horrible people who bullied the girl are on the same level of criminal culpability as someone actually committed homicide.
I don't want to sound cold and heartless, but normal people do not kill themselves over being treated badly. Normal people also shouldn't treat others the way she was treated, but that is another issue entirely
- Big Mike said...
@Kirk, good point, but my karate sensei emphasized that after all those Chuck Norris flicks juries (and prosecutors I would presume) think that guys with even minimal training in karate can apply unbelievably devastating force.
If only.
At any rate I'm basically a peaceable sort of guy. Karate never was my style. I prefer saws over fists for cutting boards.

Where, by the way, she [also] expresses the right, legal opinion. In short, that the prosecutor is on a sociological witch hunt.
- Synova said...
A thought about statutory rape...
This case is actually an argument for criminalizing this definition of rape, isn't it?
The idea is that young people are not always capable of consent. And because of that, we want to protect them if possible. From the sounds of it (and I agree that it's hard to even write the words "passed around") the girl may have consented, but she was most certainly used. It's my feeling that the boys in question mostly likely are guilty of what statutory rape laws were meant to punish.
If we're asking... was what these bullies did actually against the law or was it just kids being mean... the answer is that from all appearances the intention of the rape laws is met, and certainly technically they are met.
It seems to me that the rape charges, at least, are valid and treating the rapists as criminals is valid.
Sucks to be them, but they're hardly a vision of virtue having allowed and participated in abusing the girl after they used her. And young men really do need to be reminded (and young women, too) what the term "jail bait" means.
- Synova said...
And I think that a great deal of the other bullying behavior that's been mentioned would actually be illegal if it involved adults. We tolerate behavior in kids that we'd never tolerate for ourselves. And if the assault or battery or property damage or theft or slander or stalking (what is pushing or calling names or knocking books on the floor or wrecking something that belongs to someone else) doesn't rise to the level of police involvement (a neighbor spit at her brother, called the cops, and found out that *she* was in danger of getting arrested) an adult who sexually harassed a co-worker or followed the co-worker home to verbally abuse her would lose their job.
If a parent treated their child this way they'd lose custody and possibly be charged with abuse.
Is the harassment and abuse felony level harassment and abuse? Maybe or maybe not... but I'm not at all convinced that it doesn't count as illegal already.
I heard once that the first child abuse case was taken under laws made to protect animals.
Now there are laws protecting children in their homes.
Is it really outrageous to think that the same protections that adults are given in the workplace and children are given at home ought to apply to minors in situations with *non* family members?

New Cray Sonexion 1600 System Achieves More Than 1TB/Sec of Lustre Bandwidth
New Cray Sonexion 1600 System Achieves More Than 1TB/Sec of Lustre Bandwidth
SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwire - Nov 13, 2012) - Global supercomputer leader Cray Inc. (NASDAQ: CRAY), the world's leading experts in large-scale parallel storage systems for high performance computing (HPC), today announced the latest addition to its line of scale-out Lustre storage solutions with the launch of the Cray Sonexion® 1600 system. The next generation of the Company's integrated file system, the Cray Sonexion 1600 system is fast, compact, high quality and built on open standards.
The Cray Sonexion 1600 storage system scales from terabytes to petabytes. The storage system's modular architecture enables incremental performance and capacity scalability, well-suited to a broad range of HPC applications and workloads -- from technical computing to high-end HPC systems.
Cray's new storage system is a key part of the Blue Waters supercomputer at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois. The Sonexion 1600 storage system at NCSA consists of more than 25 petabytes of usable storage in 36 cabinets with more than 17,000 disks, and delivers more than 1TB/sec of I/O bandwidth performance to more than 25,000 compute nodes. The Cray Sonexion 1600 system is also available and in production for non-Cray cluster-attached systems.
"Storage has become essential to scientific computing, and what Cray has done is design and build a storage system that is immense -- I don't know of any other system with the requirements for scalability that is being put together for such huge applications," said Bill Kramer, deputy project director for the Blue Waters Project at NCSA. "With the Sonexion 1600 storage system and its Cray Lustre environment, Cray has built a file system that is highly reliable, productive and very performant. NCSA also has recently demonstrated over 1.1TB/sec of I/O bandwidth with this file system for multiple real-world use cases, and we believe this to be the fastest Lustre file system ever built."
"Our Sonexion 1600 system exemplifies our focus and expertise in deploying parallel storage solutions for HPC and technical computing all the way from 100TBs to tens of petabytes," said Barry Bolding, Cray's vice president of storage and data management. "We are pleased with our storage accomplishments as part of the Blue Waters system, and we are excited to introduce a new addition to our line of Sonexion products that already have a proven track record from departmental to the highest levels of supercomputing."
Available now, the Sonexion 1600 system is a fully integrated, scale-out Lustre storage system designed for a broad range of HPC workloads. The system features a compact design for maximum density, and can reduce the storage footprint by 50 percent for petascale systems. The Sonexion 1600 system features a significant upgrade in speed by being able to scale large I/O and throughput from 5GB/sec up to a 1TB/sec in a single file system. With 4TB drives, the Sonexion 1600 also features an increase in Scalable Storage Unit (SSU) capacity with up to 240TB per SSU exceeding 1.4PBs per rack.
A number of leading HPC Centers have already signed contracts to purchase Sonexion 1600 systems, including the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) in Lugano, Switzerland; the Department of Energy's National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) in Berkeley, California; and the Pawsey Centre in Perth, Australia, which is owned by CSIRO and operated by iVEC. The Cray Sonexion storage system delivered to NERSC is capable of scaling to more than six petabytes of usable storage and more than 140GB/sec of sustained aggregate I/O performance.
In addition to the Cray Sonexion 1600 storage solution, Cray will continue to offer the Sonexion 1300 system, which was introduced in November 2011. Complementing the Sonexion line of products is Cray's Data Management Platform. Cray offers pre-validated architectures, best practices, and solutions for Data Direct Networks and NetApp E-Series storage systems.
Additional information on the Cray Sonexion 1600 system, including a brochure and technical details, can be found on the Cray Sonexion storage page on the Cray website.
