LETTER: Handle threats against schools as crimes they are
In the weeks since the nation's heart was ripped out inside an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., we have been reminded – seemingly on a daily basis – of two common themes.
We desperately want to ensure that such a slaughter of innocents never happens again. And we fundamentally disagree on the best way to go about it.
The gun control debate has been heated. It likely will remain so. Such is the passion that surrounds Second Amendment rights in this country. It is still a conversation this country desperately needs to have.
But there is another conversation the nation would do well to have as well. That would be a conversation with our children. We ignore it at our own peril.
Part of that conversation needs to stress that while technology has created powerful new methods of communication, it has limits.
Another would be to remind all citizens – not just young people – that we lost more than just our innocence on the campus of Virginia Tech, in that movie theater in Aurora, Colo., and in Sandy Hook Elementary School.
We lost our ability to shrug off what was once considered a prank, or a hoax. That doesn't fly anymore. Not when it comes to our most treasured possessions, our kids. And not when it comes to schools. Not with the memory of Newtown seared into our consciousness.
A 12-year-old student at Ridley Middle School learned that lesson the hard way this week.
Officially, the threats this young man made against some students and staff at his school are being labeled a hoax.
The criminal charges he now faces, however, are all too real. Continued...
Look, 12-year-olds are going to be 12-year-olds. They're going to do dumb things. We've all done them. But we've now moved well beyond any notion of "kids being kids." Not when 20 young people are no longer kids, but instead testament to our violent culture.
We now live in a society literally dripping with violence. A lot of people wonder if kids who spend hours awash in that kind of video violence eventually have trouble separating that make-believe world from reality. A click of a computer mouse – and the perceived veil of anonymity offered by the Internet – offers those seeking such resolution a handy new arena to vent their feelings.
Sometimes it's hard to know where to draw the line. Especially when you're 12 years old.
Let us give you a hand: Going on Facebook and threatening to bring a weapon to school is no longer "cool," if it ever was. It's not a hoax. It's not an idle threat. We no longer have that luxury. What it is now is a crime.
Delaware County District Attorney Jack Whelan made that much absolutely clear in moving quickly to investigate this case and bring criminal charges against the young Facebook poster.
Here's another tip: That anonymity you believe the Internet affords you is a façade. Make the kind of threats that were hurled into the cybersphere in this case, and authorities will find you.
In this instance, detectives from the Delaware County Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force worked through the night to identify the suspect. That meant getting a search warrant for the IP address of the computer that was the source of the threats. The boy claimed to have been bullied by classmates.
Both the D.A.'s office and school authorities should be commended for the actions they took in response to the Internet threat. Unfortunately, downplaying such incidents is no longer an option.
Even with the threat seemingly defused, lives were disrupted. Some parents decided to keep their children home. Police presence was increased at the school. There was a cost to the county in terms of the investigation.
But that pales compared to the cost of ignoring such a claim and then having the unthinkable happen. Continued...
Listen up, kids. Let this incident in Ridley be a lesson to you. You'll still be able to do a lot of the kind of things you'll one day regret.
This isn't one of them. Not any more.

When you read them, it's easy to surmise one possible reason. In our hyper-partisan times, it would be unrealistic to assume that members of the party out of power would want to enthusiastically belt them out.
Take this year, for example. Try to envision the television pictures of Inauguration Day, were "Hail to the Chief" expected to be sung by all the attendees.
President Obama appears from inside the Capitol, some of the TV cameras focus on Republican congressional leaders John Boehner or Mitch McConnell or Eric Cantor -- and they are presumed to wish to ardently vocalize:
"Hail to the Chief we have chosen for the nation,
Hail to the Chief! We salute him, one and all,
Hail to the Chief, as we pledge cooperation
In proud fulfillment of a great, noble call.
Yours is the aim to make this grand country grander,
This you will do, that's our strong, firm belief.
Hail to the one we selected as commander,

I have been living in Bengkulu for over half a year now and it is about time for me to go back to the States, but before I leave my friend wants to take me on a short trip here in Indonesia. I have been really interested in going to Way Kambas park to try and see some of the animals there but recently I have also been interested in seeing Anak Krakatau. If I was in Lampung province for 4 or 5 days would it be possible to see both?
Does anyone know of someone who could help us get from Way Kambas to Krakatau or just help us with planning a trip in that area? I am very open to suggestions.
has anyone visited the banyak islands? would it be ok to bring kids ?
trekking in ketambe
Can anyone give me info on Way Kambas and/or Krakatau? I want to visit both places later in May. Is it possible to get a ride from Way Kambas to a boat that I could take to Krakatau? Is there any place to stay in or near the Elephant Training Center in Way Kambas? What about Krakatoa?
Are there any remains of the prisoner of war camp at Usapa-Besar?
What is the address of the 2/40th battalion war memorial?
We are a couple who are going to Yogyakarta to study for a semester, from September to February this year. Do any of you have any recommendations regarding places to live? Price isn't really a big issue, as Indonesia is cheap in comparison to our home country. We were looking at this place tigalima.wordpress.com/room-... (the Room Deluxe), but they were full.
Would be nice if it wasn't too far from UGM :)
Thanks in advance!
i need a cheap, clean comfy room that is quiet for around 150,000 in kuta area, need e-mail to book it as arriving late, thanks

Looking for an overnight trekking in the jungle in Indonesia, to see animals, especially slow loris. Have heard about Ketambe but having trouble finding Johan's contact. Are there other good options? And does anyone have a contact for Johan at Wisma cinta Alam. I will be coming from Bali or Java.
Does anyone know how I can get in touch with this guesthouse so I can book with them, instead of trying to book with them when I get there: tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review...
I was recently recommend UBUD as a destination to consider for time out to recover my health, and reignite my spirit, emotionally, physically and artistically. I am single, a photographer / graphic designer and seek a safe place to call home for 2 mths.
On my wish list is the following:
Advise given to me was to find a nice place to stay and then go and visit a place called the Yoga Barn as from there I could find many opportunities for health / healing networking and so forth etc.
Does anyone have any tips for art workshops of any kind? A central place like the Yoga Barn maybe and a website perhaps etc.
Are their any forums one can use to network - maybe to find other people in Ubud where one can share interests - ie photography, or just hook up for coffee etc.
I am planning to go Sept / October
I am not a beach or bar person. More inclined to seek peaceful environs....
Many thanks in anticipation.
P.S. I am in my 40's so I would like some comforts but it doesn't have to be extravagant. Gone are the days of backpacking :)
trekking in ketambe sumatra with a 5 and 8 year old is it possible
Hi all,
I will be in Bali 5~9 may for a short holiday.
Need a bike to move around....any suggestion vter
We are a family of four (two older teens) who are interested in going to Sumatra. We have about 16 days (including travel to/from Australia) and were considering flying in Medan, seeing orangutans in Bukit Lawang and possibly trekking a bit there (son is very fit; us not as much!) or possibly saving trekking to do so with elephants in Tangkahan, which sounds amazing. We also want to fit in Lake Toba and a 5+ day beach holiday at the end. We are wondering for the beach part if we should then go up to Banda Ache and on to Pulau Weh (is there snorkelling there as well as diving and is there anything for the kids to do if they get sick of relaxing?) or fly to Padang at go to cubadak paradisovillage where there seems to be diving and snorkelling. As I write all this, I think it sounds ambitious for two weeks, so would like advice about what the best options are. We've been diving/snorkelling in Bunaken, Komodo/Flores and Barrier Reef so wonder how marine life around Sumatra compares. Also visited orangutans in Kalimantan via river boat. We are hoping that Sumatra will be different to those trips to add to our love of Indonesia and our view of how diverse the country is. Thank you for any advice you can provide!
Will I pay less for air tickets on-line in USA, that is, "onetravel.com" or waiting and going to travel agents in Asia; say Singapore, Saigon, Kuala Lumpur and/or Jakarta
hi all..my friends and I will go to bali this coming 8-10 oct. gonna need your help to suggest any budget place to stay and have fun for limited time...thanks :)
hullo everyone.....I'm new to this forum...I have lived in Bandung for the past 11 years....I am a retired international correspondent.....and I do not mind answering questions from members of "Virtual Tourist"...anything you need to know about Bandung....I will do my best to give the right advice! e.g. travel tips, places to see, and places to stay......etc
I will be landing in Denpasar a day ahead of the rest of my travelling mates, and then we're headed off to Seminyak. I will be landing in the evening of May 21, 2013, and meeting the rest of my mates the next day in the early evening.
I would like to spend a day exploring Denpasar on my own, but unsure of where to stay at for the evening. A hotel I have seen with a great rate is Cityzen Renon. Anyone have any opinions about this hotel? It seems to be well rated.
Also, any suggestions on "must-sees" in Denpasar?
Thanks in advance!
I am in the earliest stages of planning 30 days in Indonesia for this coming July 2013. Can anyone offer some tips on building an itinerary?
We are a 50-year-old couple. Very active, love historic sites, cultural experiences, geographic marvels, beautiful beaches.
Do not desire party-hearty atmosphere, a high percentage of city time, or un-needed luxury.
I looked into the possibility of joining an Explore or Intrepid tour for first 14 days and then the last 16 days independent but dates don't work out for that. Neither of us has been to any part of Asia before though both have extensive travel experience.
Can some of the Indonesia experts toss in some suggestions? Of course, I'm reading extensively the Indonesia pages here on VT but would love to hear from you as this strategy has never failed to open up our world beyond our individual abilities.
Thanks, Lynn and Will

Hey everyone, just got myself a 5'8" SP with Controller fins on it a couple of months ago and really having a good time on it. I surf this board at Doheny, which is a real slow moving, thick, longboard wave. I'm about 5'7" tall and weight around 175 lbs, skill level is beginner and fitness level is probably average. As I've gotten to know the board better I started developing some questions which I was hoping some of the more experienced surfers could help me answer.
1. In several of the threads on this forum, people had said the important thing about getting this board going is driving off the back feet with the feet over the fins. I've tried this a few time, where I start to do my bottom turn on my backside, shift my weight to my back feet over the tail pad, and the back of the board just sinks and comes to a stop. Is there something I am missing or should be doing? I find this especially happens more when trying to surf my backside. Keeping my weight forward seems to get the board going better and then pumping, turning etc is no problem.
2. How big a deal are fins? The controllers seems to do well for me, but I always had this feeling they were a little big in ways I don't really know how to explain (my last board, a 6'2" fish had smaller fins), but would changing to a medium size fin make a big difference to the way the board feels?
3. I read on the forum that it's possible to sit as far out as the longboarders do (most of the people are riding 9ft+ boards where I surf), however I find I need to take off and get up far later than them in a portion of the wave where there is still some drop to it, even with my weight way forward and an intense amount of paddling. Is there a secret trick to getting the board gliding early and getting waves as far out as the longboarders?
4. What is the trick to paddling the SP into waves shoulder high and above? I find that i have a hard time getting the board up to speed to match the speed of the wave in the bigger shoulder high sets.
5. Everyone here seems to recommend the smallest SP possible. I bought a bigger SP because I wanted to make it easier to catch waves and was willing to trade the turns in exchange for wave catching ability. However, I was wondering, could a SP that is too big possibly make it harder to catch waves because it is so corky? could a bigger SP limit the wave range I can surf in as a bigger board gets harder to handle in shoulder high waves?
Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance

5. How do Massey Ratings work?
Here's a look at how Mr. Massey analyzes your team's information:
Schedule: The difficulty of each team's schedule is measured in the "Sched" column. Factors include the quality of each opponent, the opponent's Massey Rating and an adjustment for home field advantage. Note that schedule strength only represents games played to date. Until a team plays its first game, it will not have a schedule strength rating.
Offense: A team's Offense power rating essentially measures the ability to score points. This does not distinguish how points are scored, so good defensive plays that lead to scoring will be reflected in the offense rating. In general, the offensive rating can be interpreted as the number of points a team would be expected to score against an average defense.
Defense: A team's Defense power rating reflects the ability to prevent its opponent from scoring. An average defense will be rated at zero. Positive or negative defensive ratings would respectively lower or raise the opponent's expected score accordingly.
It should be emphasized that the Offense/Defense breakdown is simply a post-processing step, and as such has no bearing on the overall rating. A consequence of this is that the Offense/Defense ratings may not always match actual production numbers. A team that routinely wins close games may have somewhat inflated Offense/Defense ratings to reflect the fact that they are likely to play well when they have to.

i feel like girls bash males too much and most times after their experience with other guys they tend to think that all are the same. what you think is lacking there? |
6 Responses View All/Respond | |||
Perhaps the girls doing the bashing have been hurt from past relationships with guys and the problem is they have not turned those hurts over to the Lord and asked him to heal them, God is close to the broken hearted and I believe girls tend to forget this and therefore the anger is carried from one relationship to the next. |

4 Responses View All/Respond | |||
Remember that while there were extreme happenings in the Old T., the New T. also experienced the crucifixion of Christ, slaughtering of early Christians and Revelations description of intense suffering and punishment to come. I encourage you to not study that Bible as a contradiction but look for the old and new to reconcile. A good reference to start with is Steve Cases subjects of study (advice/viewquestions)column. |

Adversity (Apr 13) | staff | 4/11/2013 | |
"Comfort and prosperity have never enriched the world as much as adversity has." Those words were spoken by Billy Graham, the great preacher who led thousands of people to accept Jesus as their Savior. Was he right? Is it true that adversity has done more for the world than prosperity has? |
2 Responses View All/Respond | |||
I kinda agree w/ Graham. He's right, but if u look at it from another perspective, comfort and prosperity have also too. It also depends on the situation. For example, in the 2nd World War, Hitler had adversity up against him, and he went and caused more trouble, which led to the deathe of hundreds of thousands of people. Since then the world has tried to recover from that war. |

6. | hooptie | ||
Any car that has been pimped out at the Wal*Mart high school car section. Such enhancements might include but are not limited to the following: a peeling do-it-yourself tint job, chain links around the license plate, plastic hubcaps (4.99 when they've been rolled back), racing pads covering the seatbelts, excessive use of window decals, a sound system right out of the Wal*Mart electronics section, an overly aggressive after market spoiler. Look at Freshman Dave rollin' in his hooptie to the pep rally.
hooptie images | |||
1. | hooptie | ||
Any car that meets the following: a) driver must enter car through passenger side b) three different brand and size tires - 3 of them missing hubcap c) exhaust is held up by half a clothes hanger - other half replaces the antenna d) backfires every three blocks - loudest backfire being when car is turned off e) must open door at drive-threws as windows don't roll down f) you only get one AM station and the tape deck eats all tapes inserted g) can't open the glove box as the whole thing will fall out h) if you let go of steering wheel while driving you'll make a u-turn i) must manually move blinker lever up and down as it no longer blinks on it's own j) must keep one foot on brake and one on accelerator when at a complete stop k) has had the same temporary registration sticker in the window for the last 18 months l) has all the above issues but still has a $200 professional tint job "Hey fool...you gotta have the phattest hooptie in town!"
2. | hooptie | ||
Hooptie finds it's origins dating back to the mid 1950's. The original, corrupted phrase is 'Coupe D', referring to a Cadillac Coupe deVille. Over time, Coupe D was rolled together into hooptie. Used to describe everything from "any old car" (thank Shaq for that) or more specifically a large domestic sedan. Popularized by Sir Mix-a-lot, the word moved from a mere description to a slur. Oddly enough, the word can have a variety of meanings, depending on the context, ranging from pride of ownership to an outright insult. "Man, check out this new hooptie I picked up. $500 and the dash is still perfect!"
"Dammit! my (insert cool car here) is in the shop. Guess I'll mob the hooptie to work." "Well, it might be a hooptie, but hey, it's got it's own class of demolition derby." |
3. | hooptie | ||
Any car that I can afford since my second divorce. My hooptie sure smells like burning today.
4. | Hooptie | ||
A junky, wothless car that the owner had put money into that only makes it look worse. Or even comical. Examples would be spinning plastic hubcaps, a fin, offroad tires, and a cheap stereo from Value City that will be stolen soon because the window will not roll up. What do you mean that's your G Ride? That's just a hooptie.
5. | hooptie | ||
Any car, typically an older or particularly cheap model, which has had more than its value's worth invested in aftermarket (and typically cheap-looking) modifications.
The archetypetal hooptie is a beaten 70's-model American car with dark tinting and flashy (if not actually expensive) rims, but may include anything from an iced out Geo to a dilapidated van or Honda. Compare with beater; contrast with whip. Instead of investing money in a newer or more reliable car, Tito continued to drop more cash into laying the bling on his hooptie.
7. | hooptie | ||
1. An old piece of crap car.
Features include: a plume of blue oil-soaked smoke coming from the exhaust - general odor of beer vomit and french fries - a Kraco stereo with a 10 year old Nirvana cassette stuck in the player - flat white, flat blue and Bondo red in color. 2. Any Saturn automobile ever sold. Man, that hooptie should be up on blocks at the trailer park by now!

Interactive Tool: How Does Smoking Increase Your Risk of Heart Attack?
What does this tool measure?
Click here to Reference find out how much smoking increases your heart attack risk Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window.
This interactive tool measures how smoking—independent of other risk factors—affects your chance of having a heart attack in the next 10 years. The tool calculates your risk from the values you enter. The information for this tool is based on the Framingham Heart Study. Since 1948 the Framingham Heart Study has studied the progression of heart disease and the risk factors of heart disease. The data from this study has been used to make a risk assessment. This risk assessment was created by the U.S. National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP), part of the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The values you enter include your age and gender. The tool uses a systolic blood pressure of 120 Reference millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) Opens New Window, an Reference HDL cholesterol Opens New Window measurement of 55 Reference milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) Opens New Window, and a Reference total cholesterol Opens New Window measurement of 200 mg/dL to calculate your risk based on smoking alone.
Smoking does have a negative effect on both cholesterol and blood pressure. So if you smoke and also have other risk factors for heart disease, your risk may be higher than this tool says it is.

K2 Solutions, Inc. recently hosted its 3rd Annual Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF) Golf Tournament at the Country Club of North Carolina. More than $135,000 was raised for this important charity, which provides scholarship grants to the children and families of Special Operations Warfighters killed or injured in the line of military or training duty.
K2, based in Southern Pines, has hosted this 10-year-old tournament for three consecutive years, resulting in the donation of more than $250,000, which translates to full college tuition for three children. This annual tournament signifies one of the major charitable events conducted by K2 in support of its military and local community.
"With more than half of K2's employee base made up of Special Operations veterans and family members of Special Operations Force soldiers, there is no greater beneficiary of our efforts than family members of those who make the ultimate sacrifice," said Lane Kjellsen, K2's founder and majority owner. "K2 is a company established on the premise of continued service to our country whose proximity and relationship with Fort Bragg and its hub of Special Operations units lends itself to this significant fund-raising effort spearheaded by the full force of K2 personnel and resources."
Highlights of this year's tournament included the testimonial of Kathy Fernandez, a widow of Special Operations Master Sergeant Andy Fernandez, who was killed in the line of duty in April 2003. Master Sergeant Fernandez heroically sacrificed his life during a firefight with Baath Republicans to save the other members of his unit. He left behind a 16-month old son, Will, who attended the tournament as a special guest. Will, who celebrates his 10th birthday this year, will receive a full college scholarship grant — something his mother thought she would never be able to provide. In addition to the Fernandez family, numerous other Special Operations veterans as well as SOWF Board members, Andy Anderson and Dick Davis, participated in the tournament to celebrate the Foundation and help raise this substantial amount of funds.
"An increased Special Operations Forces presence around the globe requires us to be forever vigilant in supporting and protecting those who are left behind," said Dave Whitmire, K2's President and CEO. "K2 is proud to commemorate the ultimate sacrifice these warfighters make by helping to facilitate programs and causes like the SOWF that contribute to the well-being of their families."
This year's tournament was held on Sept. 7 at the Country Club of North Carolina, and will return to the same venue next year. Sponsors and participants were provided a full breakfast and dinner, along with world-class golf at one of North Carolina's premiere private facilities. The Dogwood course at CCNC is well known as the playground of recent PGA Tour breakout star, Webb Simpson and the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill's own Roy Williams.
For information on attending or sponsoring next year's tournament, visit www.k2si.com.

When Téa's final scene faded to black, I hoped with everything in me that we had not seen the last of this actress/character duo, but I admit, I was beginning to lose hope and attempting to come to terms with making the goodbye to my favorite fictional character stick.

Great move, GH! Perhaps we can get some Tea/Victor interaction as well. Gosh, I miss those two and their beautiful family. - April 8, 2012 at 2:59 PM

This is just temporary.
FV's big news was Finola Hughes is on contract. Anna is here to stay. - April 8, 2012 at 4:28 PM
- littlegirlblue said...
I'm inclined to think it's just temporary, although what do I know? Of course, I mean "temporary" not in the sense of GH's actual longevity.
I am pretty sure the Finola Hughes casting news was a cover - despite the fact that her being on contract is huge.
I've loved Finola's Anna from day one, but this show is just so hard to watch.
It's nice that RC & FV appreciate people who can actually act, too, not just those who suck up to fan bases or throw temper tantrums backstage. Florencia Lozano is an amazing actor who goes beyond the script and shows range as well as depth. - April 9, 2012 at 12:07 AM

There's no code. Sorry.
No, sadly. Gym Leaders are main points in the game, and facing them again would basically destroy your game. That's why it's not recommended to use an "All HM AR" because you'll get stuck in the game if you use it before the Elite Four. Best of Luck!

New Year's Eve parties are going to be in full swing. Parties and gatherings usually feature special foods, and often they are made with rich, fatty, calorie-laden ingredients. How to survive without gaining weight or seeing your blood pressure, blood glucose and cholesterol go off the charts? Moderation in everything is a pretty good rule of thumb.
Here are some holiday party survival tips to save calories:
- Drink calorie-free: water, seltzer water, diet sodas.
- Focus on munchies with fruits & veggies.
- Make dips w/ low-fat ingredients: sour cream, cream cheese, etc.
- Focus on the healthy fats such as olives, nuts, & fish (salmon spread, smoked salmon).
- Low-fat cheese & multi-grain crackers.
- Ground turkey breast meatballs.
- Turkey breast & deli ham roll-ups.
New Year's Eve parties are lots of fun, and you don't want to spend your time fretting about your food intake. It is a special time with family and friends but you can maintain reasonable eating even at the merriest of gatherings. Other tips:
- Plan to eat your usual meals & snacks on the day of the party so that you are not starved by party time.
- Add in an extra long walk on the day of the party.

Seaboard Festival Board President Marissa Grooms said, "We are very excited about the opportunity to give back to our community, and this year we've found two special projects to provide special enrichment to our home, the City of Hamlet. We couldn't be more proud of our city and deeply appreciate the opportunity to help fund local projects."
The 2013 beneficiaries include:
• Hamlet Depot and Museums - for the establishment of the "Seaboard Trail;" a self-guided historic walking tour of the "Hub of the Seaboard."
• Discovery Place KIDS-Rockingham - to support its mission to ignite wonder as a preeminent science education center providing extraordinary experiences that engage people in the active exploration of science and nature.
• Hamlet Business Development Authority - to support its effort to highlight tourist attractions and the business district of the City of Hamlet to visitors to the community.
• Humane Society of Richmond County - to contribute to its efforts to care for and find loving homes for abandoned animals.
Presentations were made to the organizations during February and March. Hamlet Depot Museum Manager and Downtown Coordinator for the City of Hamlet Miranda Chavis said, "With this grant, the Seaboard Festival has helped to completely fund the Seaboard Trail, and I appreciate their donation and their commitment to the community."
The Seaboard Festival is a non-profit organization that exists to further the betterment of the City of Hamlet and its related communities and citizens. The Seaboard Festival has committed itself to being a responsible citizen, contributing to worthwhile causes that positively impact the lives of all who live in the City of Hamlet. The Seaboard Festival is held annually on the last Saturday in October on Main Street in Hamlet. More information regarding the Seaboard Festival is available at http://www.hamletnc.us/seaboard.htm.
If you'd like more information about the Seaboard Festival, or help finding further information regarding this year's recipients, call Grooms at 571-431-9907, or email Marissa at firstname.lastname@example.com.
