HAZARD — The Hazard Police Department and Operation UNITE hosted a community meeting this week to help inform residents of the dangers and signs of making meth.
Meth has been moving eastward with incredible speed since the introduction of the shake-and-bake method. Through this method, meth can now be made in a 20-ounce soda bottle with only 45 minutes and a trip to Walmart, most grocery stores, or even CVS or Lowe's. The volatile concoction of liquid fire, lithium, pseudoephedrine, ammonium nitrate and brick cleaner creates toxic gas inside the small bottle that has the potential to blow up and cause a fire, or even poison people around it.
This is especially frightening for officials, considering many of these types of meth labs are being found in hotels, cars and even in store restrooms where the ingredients are bought. According to Dan Smoot with Operation UNITE, even once the process of extracting meth is complete, these bottles can still be highly dangerous and explosive.
A meeting held in the Perry County Public Library auditorium on May 29 gave residents and first responders a better indication of what to look for and how to handle a situation when they suspect someone of making meth.
Smoot, who has been in police work for 32 years and in narcotics enforcement for 26, noted that during his entire career, "I have never encountered anything like meth."
"It is the worst of the worst," he added. "It is by far the most highly addictive drug around. It does explode in the process, and it does contaminate anybody that comes near it."
Smoot said that while any of the ingredients in meth do not by themselves raise a red flag, buying large quantities, or in conjunction with other items, can be a sign that someone is making meth. Knowing what to look for can help keep yourself and community members safe.
Meth contains many chemicals, including lithium taken from batteries, lighter fluid, fertilizer, Coleman camp fuel, brick cleaner, coffee filters and allergy medication. Many of these items can be substituted, but one of them, a decongestant called pseudoephedrine, is always necessary.
"[They] have to have pseudoephedrine," said Smoot. "It is the only one product you have to have to make methamphetamine."
Federal law mandates that no one person can buy more than nine grams of pseudoephedrine in a month, however, Kentucky just limited this to only seven and a half grams. Smoot said that this is a step in the right direction, but is not much of a hurdle for experienced meth cooks. He said that many of them do not buy their own ingredients. They trade ingredients for finished product through a process called smurfing.
Smurfing is when a meth cook gets other people to buy pseudoephedrine for them so they can get more than the legal amount in a single month. In some states, pseudoephedrine can only legally be obtained through a prescription, and officials there have seen significant decreases in the number of meth labs.
Mexico used to be a main exporter of meth to the United States, but since then officials there have banned pseudoephedrine, drastically reducing meth manufacturing there.
Once someone has the necessary products to create meth, it is put into a bottle that immediately becomes a volatile combination of chemicals. Lithium alone will catch fire in the presence of any moisture.
"It will shoot up a flame about eight feet high," said Smoot.
The bottle will begin to expand and can explode if the pressure is not released in a process called burping.
"Here is the problem, most of them take this bottle and throw it out the right window and this bottle and throw it out the left one," said Smoot. "You can literally find these two bottles all over the state of Kentucky. If you, a kid, or anybody picks this bottle up and shakes it, it starts the chemical reaction back over."
These bottles can explode and cause injury. Smoot said that in some areas UNITE crews are brought in to help clean up during PRIDE clean-up days to avoid any volunteers getting hurt. One of these areas is Laurel County, which has been the hardest hit by meth in recent years.
Kentucky as a whole now ranks number four for the most meth incidents in the country.
"We had over 1,200 incidents of meth labs," said Smoot.
While Perry County has seen relatively few of these incidents, meth is starting to creep into the county. This is why it is important that people know what to look for and what to do if a lab if found, Smoot noted.
"The bigger problem is Perry County is a source county," he added. "When I say a source county it means you have a lot of pharmacies."
Because so many people from neighboring areas are coming to Hazard and Perry County to obtain the ingredients for meth, the responsibility often falls on the stores to look out for people making suspicious purchases. Some stores will limit the number of lithium batteries someone can buy at a given time, others are now keeping both pseudoephedrine and batteries behind the counter.
Smoot said that unfortunately some store owners do not know what to look for, and as sales increase for some of these ingredients they will actually market them and put them on display.
For people living near what they suspect is a home that is also serving as a meth lab, offiicals noted that there can be a distinct chemical smell coming from the home, and often burn piles containing the packaging from some of the products used. Living near these homes or going into them can contaminate anyone in the area.
It can be especially hard on children living in these homes. They can develop what looks like rashes, but are actually chemical burns from touching carpet and walls. They can also have a cough or other flu-like symptoms and have a chemical smell.
It is important that anyone in contact with meth making is decontaminated so as not to spread any chemicals to others.
Smoot said that meth was created to keep soldiers awake during World War II, and it still has the same effect. It can make people using meth highly dangerous and very strong, since they do not feel their muscles fatigue. Once someone starts to take meth, he added, they are usually in the final stages of their addiction. And once they begin taking meth, the average user has a life expectancy of about five years.
"No one starts out on methamphetamine," he said. "You can talk to any addict. Meth is usually the last drug that they try because they know once you get addicted to meth you are all but dead. Most of them don't live five years."
People taking meth often develop sores on their face and arms, and their faces take on a sunken appearance. Early intervention is important to help that person and to stop the spread and sale to others, officials say. If any meth activity is suspected in your neighborhood, or with anyone you know, call authorities as soon as possible.

While trying to find information about the pilots who flew "Sabotage Jr." I was . . . curious as to where and/or how photographs were acquired by participants during WWII.
I am researching my father's military records to make a memorial for him to hang on my wall with ribbons patches etc. According his Discharge Papers he belonged to the 329th Depot Repair Sqdn., 81st Air Depot Group...in Luzon, New Guinea.
I'm trying to find information on my grandfather. We've recently came across a family photo album and there are pictures of him next to and in p-38's and p-40's. The information on photos is Gusap, NG, Oro Bay, Milne Bay, Hollandia & a few others.
There have been numerous variations of the 322dTCS's unofficial WWII unit insignia. I'm currently looking for the most common example of this design to replicate in Vol.VI of my Battle Colors book series.
Hi all I am trying to help a friend out he is trying to find information on a B-17 that crashed in Hampshire, England. Near to a town to where a friend of mine lives is Alresford in Hampshire. There has always been stories about a fully loaded B17 crashing by the lake just to the east of the town
On June 6, 1944, my father Charles C Bass, Jr., piloted a CG4a Waco Glider during Mission Elmira. According to my father, his glider came under considerable machine gun fire, partially disabling flight controls.
I just joined this forum and I take the chance to share with you this piece of history that I keep in my garage for long time now. It should be a piece coming from the frame of a B-24 aircraft, it is about 59 inches long x 55 inches wide.
I'm looking for any info on my grandfather, Arch Fomby. I'd love to know the B-29 he flew on and the crew and maybe some photos. I believe he was in the 21st Bomb Squadron, 501st Bomb group, 315th bomb wing.
Here's a map from the AFHRA that shows airfields in North Africa foro Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia in July 1944.

Knights Hospitaller, Boat People and literary translation: in a strangely Catholic stronghold of the Mediterranean, Youssef Rakha reencounters his own life and work
And then the storm comes. At first we mistake the thunder for celebratory canon fire, the lightning for pyrotechnic pomp. Together with Valetta's church bells, both have been ongoing for as long as we can remember.
With all that poetry bubbling in my head – and in so many vernaculars of the Mare Nostrum – by then I am convinced of my metaphorical place on the island: it feels like I have been here much longer than is actually the case. The hilly pathways of this, my walled city are preternaturally familiar, the variously textured grey and sandstone surfaces all around, shimmering blue patches of sea at the foot of undulating asphalt-and-cobblestone arches that rear cobra-like off Triq ir-Repubblika (Sicilian Arabic – sorry, I mean Maltese – for Republic Street). So are my curt exchanges with the black-clad waitresses at the café trottoir by the stone gate (on the other side is the fountain encircled by Malta's bright yellow public buses):
When I sit at my favourite table to order espresso, it is as if I have been seeking out this circle of shade my whole life.
In the day I work with the Others in an antique-filled room on the roof of the same unassuming building with distinctive bright-coloured balconies that turn out to have ancestral roots in the mashrabeyya. But naked now in the cramped hotel bedroom, cigarette case and lighter in hand, I leap from the bed to the window, as I have done so often; I lean out.
The chill night breeze is refreshing. Rain drops wet the cigarette before I can light it.
The Others are writers whose homes dot the same intimate shores and for a day or so – a sizable part of the virtual lifetime we will spend together – it is as if we are castaways stranded on unknown terra firma: in addition to the island-dwellers Pierre Mejlak and Guze Santago, the Fado-singing Valter Hugo Mãe from Porto, the staunchly Catalan-speaking Miquel Desclot from Barcelona, and the proactive and miniscule Nadja Mifsud (also a native islander) from Lyon; the modern-day Sicilian cantautor Biagio Guerrera will arrive later.
We communicate in English, which though Malta's lingua franca is the only non-Mediterranean tongue heard here. While we go about discussing poems and places, we are vaguely aware of the two forces that conspired to bring us together among the antiques: the UK-based Literature Across Frontiers, run by Alexandra Buchler; and the Mediterranean Literature Festival, Inizjamed, organized by (among many others) Adrian Grima and Clare Azzopardi.
They want us to translate each other. Out of the English approximations of what we have written or sung, they want us to make literature in languages we know even better than English. It is risky business, twice removed from the original. But then the writers are there, you can hear the cadences in their own voices and ask them what the sentence literally meant when it first rolled off the tongue, whether the implications of the word are positive or negative, what the meaning would have been had they used a different phoneme.
It works: Valter's poems in particular flow incredibly well in the standard Arabic for which I am responsible; he is a Nineties Generation Egyptian poet inexplicably but completely displaced. The English – "my/mother used to say, valter be careful, that's no/way to play, you'll break a leg,/you'll break your head, you'll break your heart. and/she was right, it was all true" – may well have been translated from Arabic, indeed.
They want us to translate each other and later, when we exit Valletta and walk downhill to the converted seaside cemetery managed by a non-profit organization called Din l'Art Helwa (Maltese for "This Land is Good"), they want us to hold microphones to our mouths before an audience of at least a hundred and, while the wind blows, to read.
It works so well several of us, once the poems are finished, also sing.
The storm takes place on Thursday night. Wednesday is one of five national holidays in Malta: On 8 September 1565, the Ottoman fleet that had laid siege to the island since June finally departed. In the time of Sulaiman the Magnificent, the Great Siege was a glorious moment for European Christendom, and the Maltese – devout Catholics to this day, even though the word for God in their language is Allah and the greeting, until recently, essalam alaik – celebrate it with parades and canon fire, rowboat races and fireworks.
Never mind that the Ottomans were fighting not the local population but the Crusader Order of Saint John, whom they had expelled from Rhodes in 1522: the knight in armour remains a symbol of patriotism on this tiny enclave wedged between Tunisia and Sicily; the Maltese Cross hankers back to Hospitaller iconography; and no one makes a distinction between the Knights and the locals as unlikely victors over the not so invincible Turk. Valletta itself, my fortified city, was built in response to the siege, named after the Grand Master of the Order Jean Parisot de Valette.
Now a few months before landing in Malta I finished my first novel, which evokes a formerly great civilisation and looks up to the Ottomans, the last champions of Islam as such; by the end the hero's map of post-9/11 Cairo turns into a tugra or sultan's seal, and the hero himself is convinced he is an agent of the late Mehmed Vahtettin, the last sultan-caliph.
It is as if the celebrations are a historical insult directed at my person; it takes self-control to abandon my plans of running around the cathedral screaming "Long live the Ottoman Empire, long live the Refuge of the World" on the day. Still, I do not feel besieged in Malta. The siege for me has more to do with EU restrictions on smoking which, though condoned by the Maltese, cannot be said to reflect their temperament in particular. It seems wrong to antagonise an entire population just because I cannot light up in bed.
There are closer kin than the sons of Osman (who have long given up their Islamic prerogative anyway). There are Africans like myself stranded on the same terra firma, although in a different and much more serious way. Often Muslim, they are black, and because they arrive on sardine can-like boats from the shores of Libya, they are known as the Boat People. It is hard to see how they represent in the minds of some Maltese the threat of a Muslim takeover of Europe, but they are illegal immigrants and the island is hard pressed to accommodate them. Only the Catholic clergy seem to care for them, ironically. In the early morning they gather outside the Detention Centre in a quarter known as Marsa (Arabic – God, sorry: Maltese) for "harbour", offering themselves for manual labour. They will do anything rather than return home.
I do not have time for them.
A week is not enough time to explore the island and its little sibling, Gozo – let alone listen to the stories of ID-less young men from my unfortunate continent – especially not when so much of the day is taken up by literary interaction at so many different levels. It is not enough time to prod Maltese intellectuals regarding their complex sense of national identity and how comfortably their unflinching alignment with Europe as opposed to North Africa sits with the Arab (Semitic or Phoenician) side of their heritage.
It is not enough time to discover the history of this simultaneously polyglot and insular place, to engage with its politics and mores, to feel welcome or unwelcome as an English-speaking Arab-Muslim among its by and large affable people, or even to attend Sunday mass in their beautifully mongrel speech. A week is not enough time.
Yet a workshop and a festival do provide opportunities, thankfully. And besides Valter's poems and Pierre's warmth, to mention but two causes for gratitude, I will happily recall reading the Lebanese poetess Hyam Yared's French work in English (my accent notwithstanding), having run into her outside the hotel and spent some time revising the translations with her.
Likewise Nial Griffiths, author of Grits and Sheepshagger: a disarmingly down-to-earth Brit from Liverpool, currently living in Wales. For his 45-minute interview with the Maltese translator Albert Gatt – a beret-wearing beau who speaks English like Prince Charles – Nial carried his wine bottle on stage. Irreverent, funny, passionate about writing and dialect – not to mention, now that I have read his work, brilliant – Nial would have made the perfect mate back in Hull, where I went to university. I would not have met him otherwise.
A week is not enough time to learn Maltese, which having encountered it I know, rightly or wrongly, that I could learn in a month. Perhaps the most remarkable encounter of all, this: theories abound as to the origins of the language, with native speakers traditionally denying any connection with Arabic. Yet aside from philology, as an avid explorer of Arabic dialects, I will readily attest to this being one of them (Italianate though it can sound to Arab ears).
True, a good half of the diction is Latin – no abstract concept seems to occur in Arabic at all, giving rise to astounding phrases like responsibilte kbira (big responsibility) – but the phonetics, the grammar, the rhythms are all Arabic. Elements of Middle Eastern and North African vernaculars are mixed in such a way as to suggest this really does have origins in the Arabic once spoken throughout Sicily. One theory holds that, when the Arabs arrived from Tunisia, they forcefully evacuated the people and relocated them in Sicily. Malta remained uninhabited for at least a century, and when it was repopulated the language of the Sicilian newcomers, ethnically Latin though they may have been, was Sicilian Arabic. This would explain why, while it died out completely where it originated, that once very current dialect lives on in some form in Malta.
The Maltese do not often accept this theory because it seems to break a line of continuity dating back to the time of Saint Paul – the Saint Paul, who wrote the Gospel? But of course! – who is said to have conversed with the people in their own language – presumably some variety of Phoenician – when he arrived on the island during his travels.
Identities are constructed anyway, but perhaps the Maltese are not aware of the extent of variety within spoken Arabic irrespective of what you call or how you choose to transcribe any one variety of it. Suffice to say it is easier for me to understand Maltese than Moroccan Arabic.
Which is why as I lean out of my hotel room window holding the by now soaking cigarette and looking out over the dome of the cathedral where lightning will strike again, I continue to marvel at one expression for "I thank you" that I heard on first arriving: irringrazzjekom. Irrin is a corruption of or a variation on urid (standard Arabic for "I want", which in the vernacular becomes arid, nrid and many others), grazzie is the Italian word for thanks, and kom is the objective second-person plural suffix normally attached to the end of a verb in Arabic. Out of these three elements, the Maltese have forged a single, beautifully expressive word.
While I try to light another cigarette, I feel no word in any language can express me better.

Hello all. I have decided to take a break from the Mabinogion and to start studying Irish myths. I was hoping for some advice on good sources. I'm looking for books mostly, but audio and video will also be welcome.
Currently, my only sources are the general overviews given in some Druid books, and from the Celtic Myth podcast, etc. I am purchasing some used copies of The Celtic Twilight by Yeats and Celtic Myths and Legends by Ellis, and a new copy of The White Goddess by Graves. I was thinking about Gods and Fighting Men, when I have some money saved. Are there any other good books I should look for?
Thanks in advance

GOAL hero Matty Blair struck in extra time to send York City to Wembley in the Blue Square Bet Premier play-off final.
The Minstermen's semi-final against Mansfield Town appeared to be heading for penalties at 1-1 on aggregate when Blair bagged the winning goal with nine minutes remaining.
A minute later the Stags had defender Ritchie Sutton sent off for a second bookable offence and City managed to hang on.
York now face a Wembley double header, taking on Newport County in the final of the FA Trophy this Saturday before facing Luton Town or Wrexham in the play-off final on Sunday, May 20.

Chardon High School shooter T.J. Lane pleads guilty (with videos)
As two of his surviving victims looked on in the courtroom, Thomas Lane III admitted shooting six students at Chardon High School almost exactly one year after the tragedy.
Lane, 18, also known as "T.J.," pleaded guilty Tuesday to three counts of aggravated murder, two counts of attempted aggravated murder and felonious assault against the advice of his defense team.
He now faces a maximum of life in prison without parole when he is sentenced March 19 by Geauga County Common Pleas Judge David L. Fuhry.
"Does your counsel agree with the decision to enter the guilty plea?" Fuhry asked Lane.
"No, your honor," said Lane, his hair newly shorn in a buzz cut.
After the hearing, defense attorney Ian Friedman addressed the media briefly.
"The decision to plead guilty was T.J.'s and T.J.'s alone.
"T.J. made a decision, and here we are," said Friedman. "Today he did take responsibility for his conduct on the 27th. People have called for this acknowledgement of guilt."
Lane previously pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. Continued...
Lane entered the high school on Feb. 27, 2012, and fatally shot Russell King Jr., 17, and 16-year-olds Demetrius Hewlin and Daniel Parmertor.
After the plea, Bob Parmertor, Daniel's father, told the Associated Press he is relieved the case is not going to trial, and that he hopes Lane "will never see daylight again."
Nick Walczak, now an 18-year-old senior, was left paralyzed from the waist down after the incident and watched the plea from his wheelchair.
Nate Mueller, also a senior, was grazed in the ear by a bullet and was also in the courtroom.
The first victim released from the hospital, Joy Rickers, did not attend the hearing and has since graduated.
Lane's grandparents/legal guardians and parents also were in the packed court, as well as various members of the victims' families.
"Hopefully this gives closure to the families, the victims and the community," Geauga County Prosecutor James Flaiz said. "All the victims 100 percent supported the plea. Today's result is the same that would have occurred with a jury trial."
Prior to the guilty plea, a brief hearing was held in which Lane's attorneys stipulated to a psychologist's recent report finding him competent to stand trial.
After the plea, prosecutors admitted four pieces of evidence for the record that they requested to remain under seal — the video of the shootings, dash-cam video of Lane's arrest, Lane's confession at the jail and a disc containing a transcript of the confession.
Lane is not eligible for the death penalty since he was 17 at the time of the shootings. Continued...

WASHINGTON -- After displaying resilient confidence over the last few months, consumers are finally starting to show the pangs of the looming "fiscal cliff."
A leading measure of consumer confidence fell sharply to a four-month low this month, suggesting that worries about future tax hikes and government spending cuts are taking a toll on sentiment.
The drop reported Friday in the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan's consumer mood index -- to 74.5% from 82.7% last month -- tempered the better-than-expected report Friday from the Labor Department. The moderate pace of job gains held up in November despite Hurricane Sandy, and the jobless rate dipped to 7.7% last month from 7.9% in October.
Consumer confidence surveys are more forward-looking. And the latest report showed measures of both current conditions and future expectations falling. Retailers added a big batch of jobs in October and November, and they're banking on solid, though not spectacular, holiday sales. But with the economy driven largely by personal spending, job growth could be hurt if anxious consumers pull back.
Quiz: How much do you know about the 'fiscal cliff'?
"As the deadline to resolve the fiscal cliff draws closer with no resolution in sight as of yet, households are concerned about a potentially sharp drop in their after-tax incomes," said Capital Economics in a note after the release of the consumer confidence survey.
The December reading of consumer confidence brings the index back down to where it was during the summer, and puts it more in line with business sentiments, which have deteriorated noticeably.
"Fortunately, consumer fundamentals are holding up relatively well: Job growth is steady, gas prices are falling, the housing market is finally turning the corner, and equity prices have rebounded," said Timothy Daigle, an analyst at Moody's Analytics, in a note to clients Friday. "If policymakers are able to come to an agreement in a reasonable amount of time, as we expect, confidence should bounce back quickly as the recovery accelerates in six months' time."

Salma Hayek is not interested in slumming it.
The actress, 44, wed French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault (his family is worth $11.5 billion) in February 2009, and the duo share daughter Valentina, who turns 4 next month.
PHOTOS: Salma's sexy bikini bod
And the "Puss in Boots" star doesn't apologize for the super-luxe, globe-trotting life she gets to lead. "I never understood the point of being privileged if you don't get to have the privileges," Hayek says in the September issue of Allure.
PHOTOS: Most lavish star kids' bday parties ever
Explains the Mexican-born beauty: "Like, people who won't take their kids to an expensive restaurant, or won't travel with them, or make them pay for everything at a really young age. I think it's important that kids have responsibilities and understand the value of things, but I think it's great I get to travel the world with my daughter." According to the New York Post, Pinault spends $50,000 per month, via trust, on his little girl, on top of lavish vacations and gifts.

(Another kid living the high life thanks to Pinault, the 49-year-old CEO of Pinault-Printemps-Redoute? Augustin James, his 4-year-old son with supermodel Linda Evangelista, conceived during a break in his relationship with Hayek. A judge recently sided with supermodel Evangelista when she asked for $46,000 a month in child support.)
Still, while Hayek loves yachts, private jets, expensive clothes and more, there're one indulgence she hasn't shelled out for: Plastic surgery or other cosmetic procedures.
PHOTOS: Plastic surgery nightmares
"I've never had anything done on my face," Hayek insists. "I've never had dermabrasion or peels or injections of any kind, nothing."
Her famous cleavage is also 100 percent natural — and she loves it!
"My boobs, they're not bad, by the way. I'm not complaining about them."

Speak Out: Christmas Shopping Starting Too Early?
Want a great deal? You may have to spend part of your Thanksgiving to get it. Tell us what you think about retailers pushing the start of the holiday shopping season onto Turkey Day.
Looking to grab some great Black Friday deals? Better be prepared to scarf down the turkey and put away the pumpkin pie quickly. It's becoming a tradition for the holiday shopping season to start well before the Thanksgiving leftovers are gone. But your holiday food might still be warm by the time retailers offer the first "Black Friday" deal. Take, for example, Walmart. The retailer is rolling out its first Black Friday deals Thursday—that's Thanksgiving night—at 8 p.m. Not to be outdone, Target is inviting customers to grab its Black Friday deals at 9 p.m. Thursday. The early deals means those hoping to save money during their holiday shopping will be spending part of another holiday heading to stores, fighting the crowds and waiting in …

'Heroic' Perry Hall Guidance Counselor Praised by Students, Social Media for Stopping Shooter
Students say it was Jesse Wasmer, a guidance counselor at Perry Hall High School, who intervened during a shooting in the school's cafeteria.
Dottie Cordwell
5:21 pm on Monday, August 27, 2012
Perry Hall is a great school. This was an unfortunate event and the shooter must be punished and treated mentally if nessessary. I pray for the student and family of the victim. This just hit too close to home, being right in our community. Students should be able to go to school and feel safe. Thank you Mr. Wasmer. It could have been much worse.
Michelle Vance

Mr. Wasmer was always a hero to me, helping me get through my sons teenage years. Today he is the ultimate hero. Thanks Jesse for saving many lives!

Absolute hero. Imagine what could have been were it not for the actions of this brave man.
Anita Taylor

Hi Jesse,I am not a student or teacher at Perry Hall but I live not far from your school.I am a preschool teacher and have not faced this type of violence.However I faced evacuation for an Amstrax scare.I thank god that you were there at the right time and not being afraid to step in for those children.
6:28 pm on Monday, August 27, 2012
kudos to Mr. Wasmer! He saved who knows how many lives today - at risk of his own.

For two years I have been trying to get Perry Hall Elementary to begin social skills curriculum as they have a special education population -- and my son is in it.
Anne Arundle County has adopted a multi-disciplinary (every staff member trained) curriculum called "Building Bridges" that tackles these topics exactly and has made a marked difference in the bullying prevalence within the school system.
The Office of Special Education fails to standardize social skills curriculum and Baltimore County is left piecing together interventions that are specific to each child who demonstrates need. Like in Anne Arundle County, we need social skills curriculum standard in our schools to screen and educate all children for social IQ and prevent incidents like this.
What kind of curriculum does PHHS use that promotes positive relationships, tolerance of diverse peers, conflict resolution and interpersonal communication? Where's the prevention efforts? Anti-bullying efforts needs to start at the elementary school level, period, but then carried through high school.
8:05 pm on Monday, August 27, 2012
"Trying to get Perry Hall Elementary to begin social skills curriculum" "Anne Arundle County has adopted a multi-disciplinary" "The Office of Special Education fails to standardize social skills curriculum" "piecing together interventions we need"
And not one blame to yourself? As a parent? It's everyone else's fault? Are you an Obama voter?
5:18 am on Tuesday, August 28, 2012
Daya, your comment is excellent. Please don't let the political post not connected to the subject at hand let you stray from your original message. While we all work hard as parents of special needs students, the community as a whole needs to work together to change the tide when it comes to raising our children, instilling positive messages and manners into their psyche and build them up to be contributing, well balanced members of society. Your ideas are good and you have no need for "blame". We do what we can.
1:55 pm on Tuesday, August 28, 2012
Daya & PerryHall Parent: As a parent of 2 Parkville H.S. Learning Disabled alumni, your comment is on target and special needs to be addressed. Again your ideas for wonderful and need to be acted upon. Pls visit the Greater Baltimore Chadd Site, they are a wonderful group of parents, teachers, & specialists that may need your support.
Thank you.

Mr. Wasmer is a modern-day hero for his selfless act of bravery and heroics in the face of an armed criminal intruder bent on destruction and the attempted murder of an innocent and defenseless child with Downs Syndrome by a predatory criminal that lists his heroes as Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold.
To the poster that lists solutions as positive relationships, tolerance of diverse peers, conflict resolution and interpersonal communication and then has the gall to question PHHS' curricula - no one would have seen this coming. There will always be unhinged lone nut individuals that are intent on injuring others based on his final Facebook post.
7:46 pm on Monday, August 27, 2012
Mr. Wasmer is like many other teachers who subdued a shooter. Here is "Kaplan Career Institute teacher pulls a gun to stop an attack outside the school"
"Criminal justice instructor Michael Minto was leaving the Kaplan Career Institute in Swatara Township on Monday night when he spotted a man being stabbed, police said.
Minto pulled his gun and ordered the attacker to drop his knife, police said. The attacker fled, and authorities said Minto's actions likely saved the life of Dillon Mitchell, 30, of Harrisburg.
If Minto had not intervened, "We might be talking about someone who died," said Deputy Swatara Township Police Chief Jason D. Umberger. "There are not many citizens out there that would have the courage to take that action." "
7:51 pm on Monday, August 27, 2012
Sorry, I wanted to add, a true American hero. He is another Todd Beamer and friends on flight 93

In all the discussion about guns and metal detectors and sending the kids to private schools there's another lesson that we may all need to see. Maybe we need to teach our children to be heroes. Not to expect to be protected by the government or the school, but to stand for what is right. That's what Mr. Wasmer did, and he has made every person who ever called Perry Hall home very proud.
10:10 pm on Monday, August 27, 2012
Joe why do you seem so angry? Geez folks are just expressing their thanks to Mr. Wasmer and you are finding negativity in almost every post. I am glad you are not part of my life Joe.
I am thankful that many teens that I know who attend Perry Hall are safe and my sympathies go out to the victim foremost!
9:07 am on Tuesday, August 28, 2012
Not much of a lady eh Lady? No more angry than you. I am glad you are not a part of my life either witch.
I was congratulating the man for his actions but your hate blinded you to that.
9:48 am on Tuesday, August 28, 2012
Don't let him bother you, Lady. He's negative on just about every thread.

There will always be unhinged lone nut individuals that are intent on injuring others based on his final Facebook post." Mr. Imperial Crusader -these are some of the very skills lacking in individuals that get to this point of acting out violently. In partnership with parents and the community this a very wise and well researched initiative. It is something that school counselors do on a daily basis. Mr. Chaney-web is right in many respects-while our State and county has seen academic success, social skills warrent more attention and curriculum standardization then they currently get. The counties' education leaders are heading in the right direction on this though. Your collegues are proud of you Mr. Wasmer.

Not enough can be said about Mr. Wasmer and the actions he took yesterday to prevent further tragedy from happening at Perry Hall High School. This is a man who acted in the finest traditions of warrior and who, apparently lives by the warrior's creed. For those who are unfamiliar with that creed, I repeaat it here.
The Warrior's Creed
Wherever I go, everyone is a little safer because I am there.
Wherever I am, anyone in need has a friend.
Whenever I return home, everyone is happy that I am there.
Sandy Wagner

Thanks soooo much to Mr. Wasmer for his actions yesterday in school shooting. He probably saved many lives, including the life of my grandson who was beginning his first day in high school. I hope what will be remembered of this day is the heroic effort and dedication of Mr. Wasmer, who is a role model all students can be proud of. SWagner

Great job! Now watch, with the education system being so backwards and broken now a days; Wasmer will be charged with assaulting an under aged student or he will be sued by the shooters parents for assault.
Harry Callahan
11:07 am on Tuesday, August 28, 2012
This is exactly why people stand by and do nothing. The United States has evolved into such a litigious society that most people who do not have the attitude of a warrior such as Mr. Wasmer worry about such idiotic things happening. I can hear the liberals crying out now that the accused student was "merely trying to express his feelings and is in need of treatment rather than prosecution as we try to understand what drove him inexorably to this tragic action."
Just remember to cultivate that attitude of the warrior which bears repeating here:
The Warrior's Creed
Wherever I go, everyone is a little safer because I am there.
Wherever I am, anyone in need has a friend.
Whenever I return home, everyone is happy that I am there.
9:52 am on Tuesday, August 28, 2012
Mr. Wasmer is a good man. These days people throw around the word hero so much that it seems to have lost its meaning, but here is a man that actually deserves the title. This could have been a very different story. A simple thank you could never be enough to express the gratitude to him. Thanks for watching out for my cousins and the rest of the students at the school. <3

Looks like everyone on this post is being subjected to bullying by Joe! Thanks to Mr. Wasmer for stepping in and keeping everyone safe. Anyone that steps up and shows an act of kindness should be congratulated.
11:11 am on Tuesday, August 28, 2012
Everyone? Sure. Have you EVER commented on others that are worse?
I respond in kind to glassholes here and there are a number of them.

Joe, a bully? I think I agree with Joe. He's frustrated because fawning sentiment has taken the place of leadership and common sense. It frustrates me to see women and beta males taking over this country, lemmings who only can use words like "bully, racist, bigot, homophobe and right-wing-extremist-conservatives" etc., in lieu of admitting their failed policies.
We are quick and so right to commend Wasmer, but drop off the logical face of the earth to allow leadership to deal and preempt the actual problem he faced. The left engineers our culture to flatter females to gain power. The result of that comes mere managers who presume to be leaders. We now see the effects of "we have to pass this bill to see what's in it". That might work for liberal Kinder-children, but not those of us who think.
Despite the Horkheimer "counterculture" and billions spent in Dept of Ed since 1980, our kids are stupider, America lags behind the world in education and the jails are overcrowded. But make certain we stop Johnny from wearing a flag on his shirt and keep prayer out of schools!! My gawd what would America come to if we did that?!
11:24 am on Tuesday, August 28, 2012
I'd also like to add my thanks to Mr. Wasmer. My son was in that school yesterday and you will always be a hero in my book.
11:50 am on Tuesday, August 28, 2012
He is not a hero - a real hero wears a cape and a mask and flys around at night....just kidding - trying to ease the tensions - He is a good man in a crisis - he should get free drinks at every local bar -
12:09 pm on Tuesday, August 28, 2012
I'm so very proud of the way the students have come together in this - the T-shirts, the prayer service. They are amazing. Too bad we can't say the same about some of the adults on this site.
ben marshall
2:20 pm on Tuesday, August 28, 2012
They just decided to prosecute the shooter as an adult. The socialist's spasmodic answer to having never loved and disciplined him properly as a child. But they rage & worry about sodas he drank, taught him to make "green" choices, and made certain he was sexually educated with a pocket condom in grade school, assured he'd never wander into an "illegal" Christian student club on school property, but now they bring the cathartic full force of the law down on him while they entitled his parents. Can't anyone see the profoundly stupid way nanny liberals are culturally engineering and running Maryland?

I think it's interesting that everyone wants to talk about everything except the obvious. What does our society do to identify, and treat the mentally ill. Everyone is looking for a rational explaination to what happened. Perhaps there isn't one. Perhaps this happened because the shooter is mentally ill and untreated. There is no special social program that is going to stop extreme situation like this because a person has to have a mental problem to do this in the first place. How does the school identify and deal with students at risk for violence on the basis of thier mental health? Do we have anything at all in the way of protocol for this? Does the school even know who these students might be? Does anyone even care except for the fact that someone got shot?

IT appears that home buyers are starting to chuck the old for the new, on the back of the government's bumper rollout of new flats across Singapore.
The number of applications for resale flats fell 0.5 per cent quarter-on-quarter to 5,892 in Q1, with the bulk of the decline arising from weaker interest for larger type units, such as five-room and executive flats.
Noteworthy, too, was a marked slowdown in price increases in the resale segment during the first three months of the year, as reflected by the Housing & Development Board's (HDB) Resale Price Index (RPI), which rose 0.6 per cent in the first quarter from Q4 2011. This compares to a 1.7 per cent increase during the period before.
Said Eugene Lim, key executive officer of ERA Realty Network: "Prices have hit a ceiling, and home buyers are attracted by HDB's continued BTO (build-to-order) launches of an array of flats in a variety of locations. The recent change of policy to cater for 15 per cent of the BTO flats in non-mature estates for second-timers have also drawn more home buyers towards this segment as shown in the quarter's lower overall resale transaction volume."
As industry watchers had anticipated, the median cash-over-valuation (COV) for resale flats has started to head southwards after reaching a peak last year.
Said Lee Sze Teck, senior manager of DWG's research and consultancy arm: "Our data showed that after peaking in Q3 2011, the COV asked by sellers continued to ease in Q1 2012 as the bargaining chips tilted more in favour of buyers. In particular, the pace of decline in COV accelerated in Q1 2012 to 22.9 per cent from 7.9 per cent in Q4 2011, with three-room, five-room and executive flats seeing the biggest drops of 22.2 per cent, 22.1 per cent and 18.5 per cent, respectively."
Explaining the steeper falls in COV in those segments, Mr Lee said that buyers of three-room flats (who usually have a lower income than buyers of larger flats) can now opt for a new BTO flat which is more affordable, while those who previously intended to buy a five-room or executive flat now have the option of purchasing an executive condominium (EC) following the recent revision in income ceiling.
Though industry consultants believe that COVs for resale flats will continue to ease in the coming year, they do not think that it will decline dramatically.
Said PropNex CEO Mohamed Ismail: "It is not likely that the COVs will drop significantly, given that the economy is doing well and demand for resale flats remains strong. We expect COVs to continue to remain within the range of $20,000 to $30,000 with flats situated close to amenities potentially commanding higher COVs."
Going forward, consultants expect overall buying sentiment in the HDB resale market to remain fairly moderate.
"The bulk of demand for HDB resale flats will come from those who indeed do not qualify for a BTO flat; buyers who indeed have urgent needs for accommodation; and one who may still choose a resale flat over a smaller private property for practical reasons like spatial concerns or the possibility to rent out spare rooms to defray overall financing costs," pointed out Ong Kah Seng, director of R'ST Research, who expects fairly flat HDB resale transacted prices ahead.
In the first quarter, HDB dished out 8,076 new flats under BTO exercises and another 3,825 under a sale of balance flats exercise, with more to come.

Displaying a picture of Star Wars' Luke Skywalker crouched next to Yoda, Gates spoke about the importance of personalized learning. Yoda was a great teacher, Gates argued, because the Jedi master understood when Skywalker is losing interest.
"With this wave of software that's being created that personalizes to the student ... there's real promise here that the kids can go back and engage in a way they couldn't before," he said.
The Gates Foundation is investing heavily in education technology. It recently announced that it has invested $100 million in startup inBloom, a service that helps teachers tailor lessons to individual students.
