The Future of Remington Arms; Ilion Businesses Speak Up
By: Rachel Polansky
Updated: February 5, 2013
Eyewitness News visits with Ilion businesses about what they are calling the "unimaginable." 2 Ilion restaurant owners and they say they're quite concerned. Not only do Remington employees make up a large percentage of their customer-base, but they say if it happens, the ripple effect of the gun-maker leaving would be devastating.
"What would happen to your business if Remington Arms left Ilion?" says Rachel Polansky, Eyewitness News reporter.
"We would close. We've already seen a decline in business," says Sally Preston, Village Deli owner.
"Honestly it would probably sink my business," says Kathryn Fischer, Franco's Pizza owner.
These two restaurant owners say the Ilion economy relies on Remington. About one-third of their customers are Remington employees.
"We do get quite a bit of the gentlemen coming in for lunch," says Preston.
"We mold our day around Remington Arms. We have noon and 7:30 and those moments are literally focused around those employees and feeding them," says Fischer.
But since the governor enacted the New York Safe Act just 3 weeks ago...
"We've already seen where the guys don't come in for lunch like they used too. New York state has just made it harder and harder and harder and this is just another step that makes it harder for us," says Preston.
And both owners say they'll lose more than their business if Remington leaves.
"We have 2 sons and a future son in law that are employed over there. The middle son, he's got a wife and a baby and a baby on the way," says Preston.
"Many friends right now especially that have decided to start their lives and have children. Now they're fearful that in 2 or 3 years, they'll no longer have a job to support that child," says Fischer.
Fischer says Remington has made threats in years past, but she's never been as concerned as she is today.
"We've dealt with the threats numerous times before but there were never laws backing those threats," says Fischer.
At this point, they say it's a waiting game...
"We're hoping for the best, really that's all i can tell you. We pray every day that they still there," says Preston.
We do want to make it clear that Remington has not made any decisions at this point. But as we told you last week, there are at least 5 states that have made relocation offers to the gun-maker.

For so many Christians, "O Come, Emmanuel" was sung from choral sanctuaries and blasted from organ pipes at the back of the church this past weekend on the first Sunday of Advent. I'm going to guess that very few services featured such a stirring pairing of piano and cello.

Along the borders of my summer run two shadows from the valley of death: New York's National September 11 Memorial (which I saw in June) and Berlin's Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe (which I visited in September). As I watched news coverage of the moving roll call of the dead on 9/11, I couldn't help but recall how the rabbi reads names at every Jewish service in observance of Yahrzeit, on the first anniversary of the death of a congregant's relative. At the end of the list, our Reform rabbi always mentions those who have no relatives to pray for them. The haiku above is inspired by these two memorials and the losses they represent.

"When you have no hope that it will ever change, do you follow a big news story less closely?"
The NYU journalism professor Jay Rosen (@jayrosen_nyu) asked this question a couple of weeks ago on Twitter. It's a good one.
I think he's pointing at a truth many of us are remiss to admit to ourselves — and each other. Somehow we can build up a mental callous to certain news events like the ongoing tensions between Israelis and Palestinians. When we're doing our job properly, we feel we can create an opening, a sliver of space that allows you, our listeners and readers, to move past the headlines of despair and hopelessness by presenting you with personal stories that create a human connection and, in the case of this week's show, an emotional connection — as witnessed in Krista's exchange with Swanny:
The Parents Circle - Bereaved Families Forum, Israelis and Palestinians who transmute pain into hope together.
Your interview with Ali & Robi is so valuable! I wish every American listened. And I love you for it.
@YoSwanny Thank you. That photo of them on our site is on my desktop. They give me courage - so do you.
Listen to Robi and Ali's story. Share their story with others. Talk about it with your family and friends.
Andrew Solomon (perhaps you remember our show The Soul in Depression"?) is making similar connections too. In his new book, Far from the Tree, he explores stories of identity and love in difference as experienced through family in his most recent work, :
Watch this video showcasing the love between parents and children grounded in the grit of experience.
It's a powerful set of testimonials that'll make you forget the video is a trailer for a book, which I'm now reading with zeal.
Listening to @kristatippett interview @BreneBrown is like watching Batman and Superman work the same case.
Love the analogy from Minna Bromberg (@minnabromberg)! This is representative of the overwhelming response to last week's show on vulnerability and shame with Brené Brown. As is typical, people who listened to the show bring their own insights and wisdom to the subject — like this one from Dan Phillips (@dannyboy), a sustainable design consultant based in London:
Leaning in to our vulnerabilities takes not only our own strength but the kindness of others and wider society.
We were also received, as Krista tweeted, "an important critique of my conversation with Brene Brown" from Davina Allen (@_dee_minor). She reminds us that there are many perspectives we need to consider when discussing shame, especially when it concerns race:
"People of color in the United States have been contending with these kinds of messages for literally hundreds of years now. Shame is absolutely nothing new to the experience of a person of color in the United States. On quite the opposite hand, resisting the ongoing onslaught of overt and covert messages designed to shame people of color is merely a normal part of our daily existence."
Ms. Allen continues:
"White people often have an inordinate amount of difficulty in being able to be vulnerable and honest with people of color when having conversations about racism. I believe this is so because they simply do not know how to effectively handle and confront the guilt and shame that they experience when they are forced to confront white privilege, to accept their complicity in benefiting from that privilege, and to accept that society is as unjust and painful for people of color as they say it is."
This sparked a courageous admission from Tamara B:
"It is exactly as you said — the inability to handle the guilt and shame of white privilege, to accept that my own complicity in benefiting from that privilege, to accept that society is as unjust and as painful for people of color as they say it is. I would add that, for me, it is also the fear of losing the benefit or status of white privilege. What would happen to me without this shield of protection?"
I encourage all of you to read Ms. Allen's full comment and the conversation thread that resulted. It's a fruitful dialogue worth engaging in.
In the same vein, Jonathan Tran has written an article for The Christian Century (@Christiancent) I highly recommend reading. It contains some heavy-duty theology and historical references, but as Krista says:
A fascinating, important piece on black theology claiming and enlivening church tradition in a new way.
Moving forward, we're in the throes of our December/January show production, which includes an interview with Andy Revkin about the "knowosphere" — converging wisdom from the 20th-century French Jesuit paleontologist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and 21st-century science journalism:
Wrapping my mind around this: "Matter is spirit moving slowly enough to be seen." ~Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
And yesterday Krista had a 90-minute conversation with Seth Godin on the new entrepreneurial paradigm taking shape today:
"We are all artists now." ~Seth Godin. Godin and Heschel hanging out together in my head via overlapping production. Intense... and fun.
And what better way to conclude this column that with these sage words from Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel from a 1972 NBC interview:
"...remember that the meaning of life is to live life as it if were a work of art. You're not a machine. When you are young, start working on this great work of art called your own existence."
I also received some insightful responses to last week's request about ways of giving thanks. I'll share some of the responses next week.
And, please continue to send us your feedback. Contact us any way you like: send your thoughts on our website or share your suggestions and critiques on Facebook or Twitter (@beingtweets).
I love every sensory aspect of Christmas. I love the sights and the smells, but most of all I love the rich and textured sounds. In short, I love Christmas music.
More than any other holiday, my Christmas season is hemmed in and held together by music. Music is a common thread woven through all the little holiday rituals, traditions, and memories that I share with my family and friends. Beautiful music. Nostalgic music. Radio music. Nature's music. Muzak music. The music of Christmas is everywhere, and I love it all, but nothing quite so much as the season's sacred music.
There aren't quite words to describe the warm and inviting glow of a church sanctuary illumined by candlelight on Christmas Eve night, and the peace that washes over me when friends and strangers gather and sing the sweet strains of these well worn hymns. These simple songs bridge the chasm of time and space, and help me to be present to the miracle of Christ's birth.
In an uncertain world, they stand for me as guideposts, pointing me always towards the certainty of hope. The exuberant and joyous African American Spiritual, "Go Tell It on the Mountain" is no exception to this rule. This carol is at the top of my list, because it so beautifully captures the joy of this season.
Though its precise origins are unknown, many believe this spiritual was discovered shortly after the Civil War, and popularized in the early- to mid-twentieth century. It has been a song of hope rising from the valleys of southern plantations, and issuing forth from the deep heart of Appalachian Mountain trails. It has been a gospel song enjoyed round cozy family pianos, by church choirs, and sung from main stages of grand concert halls. Peter, Paul, and Mary once adapted its lyrics and utilized this song as a civil rights hymn. It has been covered by an eclectic group of musicians ranging from Mahalia Jackson to Dolly Parton. In short, this is a carol that has seen a rich history.
Needless to say, I was delighted when two veteran artists, Margaret Becker and Jennifer Knapp, included it in their 2012 collection, The Hymns of Christmas, and gave it the royal musical treatment. For their collaboration, Margaret and Jennifer took ten Christmas classics and infused them with heavenly harmonies and their signature guitar work.
Encountering their arrangements is a bit like running into a dear old friend wearing a brand new dress, every bit as gorgeous as you had remembered and then some. From the looks of their sampler video, Jennifer and Margaret were busy weaving friendship alongside their harmonies. For anyone who needs a delightful burst of Christmas cheer, do yourself a favor and give this album a listen. You can start with, "Go Tell it on the Mountain."

In light of Krista's conversation on how to hold civil conversations when it comes to the discussion of equal marriage, here's a short poem written in Newark airport a few weeks ago following a brief encounter with a former colleague:
r e t u r n i n g s
I see her, former colleague
in the baggage area of a
foreign airport.Oh hi, she says,
looking awkwardly towards the
empty carousel.Then she decides.
I hear you're gay now, she says.
are you still a Christian?Oh how will we tell this story?
She, to her friends, with
sadness, curiosity and prayers
for reorientation and returning.Me, to mine, with sadness,
anger and prayers for
refocusing the lenses and returning.And the anger was all mine.
And that question
was all about her.Should we not just dance instead,
I should have said,
together turn a little waltz inthe chorus of our own bodies
while we wait and wait and wait for something better
than the empty carousel of this question.How will we tell this story?
How will I tell this story?
With sadness.With practicings of little ballroom dances
while we wait, confidently,
for what is most important to be returned.

"I just want to love God."
~Piscene Patel, Life of Pi
A boy, the son of a zookeeper, grows up in picturesque Pondicherry, India. He is bright and inquisitive and unusually attuned to the world around him. He is, by place of birth, a Hindu, and a devout one. He discovers Christianity ("Thank you, Vishnu, for introducing me to Christ"), and then finds the religion of Allah, especially its profound witness to the practice of daily prayer, to be life-giving.
His parents are perplexed. ("If you believe in everything, you will end up not believing in anything at all," warns the boy's rationalist father). His older brother, as older brothers are sometimes wont to do, sneers, scorns, and mocks the young boy's earnest faith.
The boy, Piscene Molitar Patel, named by an uncle after a famous Parisian swimming pool, is patient with his critics and resolved to love God and the world and everything — everything — in it. As a teenager, a shipwreck and a harrowing ordeal in a lifeboat sharpen rather than diminish or extinguish his religious sensibilities. He emerges with a story, he says, that "will make you believe in God."
It is tempting to dismiss Life of Pi as a parable of the postmodern quest for "spiritual fulfillment" without the messiness of doctrinal commitment, to see Pi as a cipher for what each of us is encouraged to be: a discriminating consumer of religious experience — trying on this or that belief or practice, picking and choosing what "works" for us, discarding or ignoring the rest.
I understand the temptation.
But I also think there's something more or something else at work in the life of Pi. During his 227 days at sea, the necessities of survival (killing sea creatures with his bare hands and wolfing them down ravenously, animal-like) merge with his emerging sense of his own insignificance. After witnessing a spectacular display of thunder and lightning, Pi says (in the book, but not in the movie):
"For the first time I noticed — as I would notice repeatedly during my ordeal, between one throe of agony and the next — that my suffering was taking place in a grand setting. I saw my suffering for what it was, finite and insignificant . . . My suffering did not fit anywhere, I realized. And I could accept this. It was all right."
With its echoes of the book of Job and the Psalms, this is not the sentiment of the contemporary seeker-shopper of religious goods and services. It is not the familiar narcissism of much of middle-class Christianity, nor is it the well-meaning but hollow piety of the "God-never-gives-us-more-than-we-can-handle" school of thought.
And after calculating his odds of outliving his lifeboat companion, a 450 lb. Bengal tiger named Richard Parker, Pi says: "You might think I lost all hope at that point. I did. And as a result I perked up and felt much better." This, too, reveals not the sunny optimism of religious individualism ("God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life") but a clear-eyed embrace of a fundamental truth of existence: we are going to die.
When Pi makes peace with this truth he gets on with the business of living which, in his case, immerses him in the material exigencies of his plight: paying attention to the weather, monitoring his food supply, training his carnivorous companion. But it also means attending to the glorious beauty around him: inky-black skies swimming with stars, whales elegantly breaking the water's luminous surface, a school of dolphins moving synchronously as if in a dance of pure joy.
And at journey's end, when the middle aged Pi, who has been narrating the story all along, tells an aspiring novelist that he regrets not being able to thank Richard Parker and tell him that he loved him, we see the young Pi Patel again, who was attentive to beauty, full of wonder and a desire for the holy, who only wanted to love God and the world, and who might have — as a Hindu, a Christian, and a Muslim — found a kindred companion in a contemporary poet's own clear-eyed assessment of the truth of our finitude:
It was what I was born for—
to look, to listen,to lose myself
inside this soft world—
to instruct myself
over and overin joy,
and acclamation.Mary Oliver, "Mindful"

Perhaps you remember "The Soul in Depression"? It's a show we produced many years ago that remains one of our most popular and enduring productions. One of the voices featured was Andrew Solomon, who wrote The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression, an encyclopedic work that won a National Book Award in 2001.
After nearly ten years of research and interviews, Mr. Solomon has produced another tome worthy of attention — this time exploring the theme of identity and difference as experienced through family. This trailer for his new book Far from the Tree is really well-done. To be able to witness the love between these people and their moving personal stories grounded in the grit of experience makes you forget this is a promotional video for a book, which I'm now reading with zeal. Look for a review in the coming weeks.
"Hope is a function of struggle."
~Brené Brown
Winter is now upon us in the Midwest. The temperature is dipping into the single digits and the winds are gusting steadily. On this Thanksgiving weekend here in the States, these beginning lines from Walter Rauschenbusch's gorgeous family prayer, now more than a century old, call us to pay attention and be grateful:
For the wide sky and the blessed sun,
For the salt sea and the running water,
For the everlasting hills
And the never-resting winds,
For trees and the common grass underfoot.
We thank you for our senses
By which we hear the songs of birds,
And see the splendor of the summer fields,
And taste of the autumn fruits,
And rejoice in the feel of the snow,
And smell the breath of the spring.
Grant us a heart wide open to all this beauty...
This has me wondering about others' ways of giving thanks.
Do you have a special prayer or ritual? Drop me a line at tgilliss@onbeing.
"We pray for the big things and forget to give thanks for the ordinary, small (and yet really not small) gifts."
In June, we converted our static HTML website to Drupal. Technical jargon aside, one of the positive outcomes of all this work was liberating Thich Nhat Hanh's dharma talk from its RealAudio shackles. As Krista noted:
Sink into this. Thich Nhat Hanh morning dharma talk on mindfulness / anger / the child within. Thx @trentgilliss.
Now you can listen to the Buddhist Zen master's full two-hour talk he presented in 2003 during a meditation session at The Green Lake Conference Center in Wisconsin during our radio pilgrimage.
Due to the long holiday weekend, this week's recap is a bit abbreviated. Contact us any way you like: contact us on our website, share your suggestions and critiques on Facebook or Twitter (@beingtweets).
Brené Brown is an assistant professor of Social Work Research at the University of Houston. She's the author of several books, including The Gifts of Imperfection and Daring Greatly. Millions of people have viewed her talk at a TEDxHouston and her later talk on the main stage at TED. On November 1, 2012, Krista Tippett interviewed her from the studios of APM in St. Paul, Minnesota while Dr. Brown was in the studios of public radio station KUHF in Houston, Texas.
We time-shift tweeted these gems from our 90-minute conversation, which we're compiling here in case you don't use Twitter, or just plain missed it. Make sure to follow us at @BeingTweets or listen to the produced podcast.

"Guilt-prone people tend to carry a strong sense of responsibility to others, and that responsibility makes other people see them as leaders."
One of my early illusions about good leaders is that they are strong, impenetrable, and unaffected by any failings (their own and those of others). But Stanford researchers, Becky Schaumberg and Dr. Francis Flynn, suggest that there is some merit to having a guilt instinct or response, especially if you want to be a leader. There is a difference between "guilt" and "shame." Though both are responses to a blunder, the difference is in the responses to the error. Those who feel shame shrink away from the error, those who feel guilt feel a responsibility to others and are perceived as leaders. This distinction the authors make between guilt and shame is one that Brené Brown makes in her research as well.
In one experiment, researchers surveyed guilt proneness, shame proneness, and extraversion, among other characteristics. They found that "guilt-prone members of the group seemed to the rest of the group to be making more of an effort than others to ensure everyone's voice was being heard, to lead the discussion, and generally to take charge." Does this mean that people who feel more guilt feel more obligation to the wellness of others? How would this serve a leader in a large corporate setting?
It may serve leaders in any setting who recognize their human obligations and connections to others, especially their charges. It seems to be a sensible response when others do not live up to expectations. You may want someone to feel guilt when they don't meet goals. Guilt even has a place for workers, too. Dr. Flynn and Ms. Schaumberg also found that guilt in the workplace is very good for the employers, in fact, "guilt-proneness motivates employees to work hard on their tasks, perform well in their jobs, and feel committed to their employer."

This is the ninth annual drive and its purpose is to aid a worthy children's agency. The collection will take place on Sunday, February 4 in the early afternoon and the proceeds this year will go to the Big Brother - Big Sister program of the Farmingdale Youth Board. The small coins which have been collected will be brought to the central collection center in the Youth Lounge of the Farmingdale Jewish Center ( entrance on Prospect St. and Cobb Place) between the hours of 2: 00 and 4: 00 p. m. Should this time be inconvenient, containers will be accepted at any branch of the Farmingdale Public Library which includes the Bookmobile. Farmingdale Children's Day has been recognized widely throughout the area for its multifaceted goals primarily concerned with improving the health and welfare of children. Children s Day involves local religious and day schools and youth organizations in practical applications of each faith's tenets, interaction of various groups, understanding and mutual respect and basic democratic ideals. Celebration of Farmingdale Children's Day will begin on Saturday, February 3, at the South Farmingdale Library. A program featuring an award winning film, will be shown at 2: 30 p. m. " For the Love of Fred" expresses the important themes of brotherhood. Girls of local 4- H Clubs will be ushers. Mrs. Cathy Malaro of the Farmingdale Big Brothers and Big Sisters program will speak about the role it plays in the lives of boys and girls who are without their mother or father and find companionship and understanding with the volunteers. The Big Brother - Big Sister program of the Farmingdale Youth Board has been in existence since 1960. Children under sixteen are given the opportunity to develop a positive relationship with an older individual. The volunteers who are screened, trained, and supervised spend a few hours a week with their Little Brother or Little Sister. These youngsters are referred to the program by the school psychologists, counselors, Compromise Seen for School Tax Losses The Farmingdale School district and State legislators representing the area have not given up in their attempt to restore loss in school taxes in connection with MTA- owned and tax- exempt property of the former Republic airport property on Route 110. When the MTA purchased the property in 1969, it cost the school district almost 1,5 million annually in assessed valuation. Dr. William Kinzler, Far-mingdale's superintendent of schools, met with Albany legislators recently in order to find a way to have the school district compensated for those taxes. According to Assemblyman Phil Healey, who represents the southern part of Farmingdale, there is hope for at least a compromise. " The original suggestion of State payments to the district called for reimbursements over a period of 30 years " he said. " After meeting with A. Stern, a finance expert from the Governor's office on Monday, we can perhaps come up with a compromise formula." It is expected that Healey will introduce a new bill to the legislature during the current session. There will be number of meetings to formulate the new bill in order to avoid past problems. A bill sponsored by Sen. Ralph Marino and Assemblyman John G. McCarthy to reimburse the Farmingdale school district fully for its tax losses for 15 years was passed last year by the legislature only to run into a veto by the Governor at the end of the term. As soon as the compromise bill is worked out ( there is talk that the number of years for reimbursement may be reduced to five years) Healey will submit the new bill. Co- sponsors for the measure will be other local representatives such as Assemblyman Stuart Levine and Senator Owen Johnson. and local churches and temples. Special activities which aid to form a more complete program are made possible through contributions such as Children's Day. Preparations for this year's event have been made at the Sunday schools of the Farmingdale United Methodist, St. Luke's Lutheran, and St. Thomas Episcopal churches. Students of the Farmingdale Jewish Center Hebrew School, St. Kilian Day and School of Religion also have been active. Residents of the Farmingdale area have already been alerted to the fund drive through the efforts of the Boy Scouts of the Paumanok District, Girl Scouts of the Main Street and Parkwood neighborhoods of the Mid- Island Council, and members of 4- H Clubs. While the boys have distributed cannisters throughout a number of shopping centers and village stores, the girls have displayed art posters in store windows of North Massapequa, Farmingdale, and the Carman's Road Shopping Center. The posters emphasize the many aspects of brotherhood as they pertain to the girls everyday lives and their groups programs. When the collection containers, most of which will be small milk cartons with distinctive Farmingdale Children's Day wrappers, are returned on Sunday afternoon the children will be met by Cadet Girl Scouts acting as hostess guides. Adult volunteers from many woman's service groups will be on hand to sort and count the thousands of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters brought in. Meanwhile, the youngsters will be invited to some group singing. The informal sing- in of brotherhood songs will be led by Mrs. Barbara Andrews who will ( Continued on page 2) ^' AAagic Shoes" Come To School on Main Street Town Councilman Gregory W.

This highly talented troupe, which opened its fourth season this year, was formed seven years ago by the Cultural and Performing Arts ( CAPA) Division of the Town Department of Recreation and Community Services. Each fall, several Oyster Bay Town teens are chosen at auditions and receive one- year scholarships entitling them to attend a series of free workshops in acting and stage craft. In the course of the year they tour the Town with three plays for children. Productions of the play are presented with the cooperation of the local P. T. A. group.

Yes all the icons are in the rco files, see the other thread I started about it, be best to talk there about this. the tool rcomage is attached there , it extracts the rco to images (if any), sounds(if any), main xml, and lang files (if any) , check the corresponding rco for your category, ie explore_category_psn.rco.
BTW: the main category icons cant be changed so easily, problem is that they are not taken from the xmb_normal.rco as you would expect, they are built into an sprx as far as i know. i suspect that the rco is just left over from old code.. from what i've seen sony were in the process of moving more and more resource files into the sprx files for extra security. Also the system category icons etc are not read from the sysconf rco like the other categories, probably to secure the otherOS block and things like that as the system settings category is so important.

I've heard the argument that The Hunger Games trilogy is just The Running Man for teenage girls or a direct rip-off of Battle Royale. I guess it could be considered teenage fare (ya know, brutal death scenes and all) and "not original." However, take a moment and wonder, how many of those youngins would have read The Running Man without an intro to dystopia, via The Hunger Games? Would they have read Battle Royale? Classic dystopian novels like Brave New World or Nineteen Eighty-Four? A Canticle for Leibowitz?

Second Family Alleges Abuse of Mentally-Ill Son in Russellville Elementary School
By: Marci Manley, KARK 4 News
Updated: November 16, 2012
"This is just part of it," she said, pointing to a stack of papers roughly a foot and a half high.
Over the past three years, Kathy Craig has put together an encyclopedia on her son's education.
"It's been really difficult with this between dealing with a mentally-ill child," she said.
Craig actually adopted her grandson, making her his legal guardian. And on Tuesday, more materials arrived at home to add to the ever-growing pile.
"They were distinct thumbprints on both shins," she said.
Pictures -- of what Craig said are bruises on 8-year-old Cody's body from being restrained in Sequoyah Elementary's Alternative Learning Environment.
"That meant face down on the floor, three of them holding down his legs and his arms," she said. "I understand that restraint has to be used at points to protect both the child and the teacher. But this is concerning."
Craig reported the bruises to police, prompting a Department of Human Services investigator to assess Cody. He's been diagnosed with bipolar disorder since he was three and he also suffers from auditory and visual psychosis.
Craig said DHS told her not to expect the case to move forward.
"It would probably be unsubstantiated because he couldn't see who the person was holding him down," she said. "He was face down on the ground, he couldn't see which of the three people was actually holding his legs."
Cody's mental condition has seen improvement on medication, but his alleged outbreaks at school are triggered by an unknown cause, according to Craig.
"It's been well-maintained with medication. He's gotten better with the psychosis because of the medicine. He still has highs and lows. He can be aggressive. He can be violent, but it doesn't happen at home. It's always at school, and I don't know why," she said. "When they provide us with a behavior chart, they'll list his triggers as 'math' or 'spelling'. That tells us absolutely nothing."
And when Craig requested that his psychologist be able to observe Cody in the classroom to determine what triggers were setting him off, she said the school refused, citing privacy issues.
"They told me the psychologist couldn't be there to observe because of student privacy concerns," she said. "But then I find out that volunteer parents have been allowed to be in the classroom and observe and I wonder how that's allowed."
Superintendent Randall Williams told KARK on Thursday that he was unaware of any DHS investigation that was ongoing.
On Friday, another parent complained of abusive restraint practices at Sequoyah Elementary.
"He was on his back with his feet up in the air like this on concrete," said father Ben Butler, who now home-school's his mentally ill son.
When KARK asked Williams on Friday, he said staff met state requirements for training in the ALE program, though he couldn't say if all had been trained on restraint practices, when, or how.
On Thursday of this week, Williams confirmed a company out of Florida conducted training with the staff, though he still couldn't tell us who received that training or when.
"I feel like there are true issues this is not isolated at all,' Craig said. "I've seen too much over the past couple of years. I've seen too many children being treated badly."
A Department of Education investigation in the Spring of 2012 did find instructors at Sequoyah placed Cody in a seclusion room too frequently --- 64 times in a seven month period. They did so, the ADE report says, without obtaining the proper written consent from Craig.
"We're supposed to sign a release for him to go into the seclusion room -- we were never told that -- we were never asked to sign a release," Craig said.
The school also failed to maintain documentation as required of the duration of the seclusion, the dates, and for what reason Cody was placed in the room by himself.
Instructors, the report indicated, also failed to follow Cody's Individual Education Plan (IEP) which includes recommendations from medical professionals to avoid triggers and improve his instruction in the classroom.
"We've had countless meetings about IEPs, " Craig said. "They don't follow it. Or they follow the portions they want when it's convenient for them or when they are being observed by the school psychologist. I can tell, by his behavior reports, when someone is there observing. There's a stark difference."
And when it comes to the education Cody has received, Craig isn't sure the school is performing to par in that respect.
"It seems like they're putting out fires constantly all day long i don't see how there's any education going on in that class," she said.
In the three years Cody has been in Sequoyah's ALE, which is intended to be a temporary and transitional class, his IQ has decreased from 125 to 62.
"There is no medical reason for that the only reason for that is he's not being taught," Craig said. "I believe he could perform in a regular classroom with the assistance of an aide. But the administration and school just outright refuse to allow him that."
According to Craig, children in the ALE program like Cody are completely isolated from the rest of the student population, leaving them with little social interaction except with other children who have differing mental disabilities.
"He doesn't get to go on field trips, he doesn't get to play on the playground with the other kids at recess. He doesn't get to eat at the cafeteria with the typical children," she said. "These kids end up feeding off one another. They have no other social interaction with people their own age."
Overall, Craig fears the only lessons Cody is learning at this school are the wrong ones.
"He may be under the impression that that's what school is about and and that's how adults in school treat children -- and that's very worrisome," she said.
KARK inquired with the Department of Education about the certification and training standards for use of restraints in Alternative Learning Environments. We were told by ADE that there were no state standards or criteria and that schools were expected to contract out training with a company to learn the theory of restraints and operative use. Schools are then expected to receive a letter of certification for staff.

I bet he pissed his pants and won't admit it
I did play it at 2 am, in the dark, with the house empty, and the sound up.
Pants are clean.
It's a well made game, and quite fun. It would be scary for Daniel, but I'm not Daniel. I'm the guy running him off a bridge, to see what it sounds like when his legs break. A very satisfying *crunch* *Argh* btw.
You're so cool
Behold, the god among men, the one being not scared of Amnesia, has graced us with his presence.
The whole "I'm not Daniel" reminds me of a review who wasn't scared of some horror game because it didn't abduct his family(the only frightening situation for him apparently).
If you play video games while detaching your ego from them, what is the point in playing? Seems like a waste of money to me. The fun starts to happen when you identify with the character you are playing (see Eve Online). It's like going to a movie and making sure the screenplay's dialogue is grammatically correct and uses sufficiently challenging ACT level vocabulary before you can be certain that you enjoyed it. That said, I found your Amnesia 'review' to be very amusing.
I finished this game by drinking about 2 and half litres of Rum in separate sessions.
I'll be getting this to scare the gf with as alas I don't think I can be scared by games any more. I lack the imagination I used to have or something... Been all scared out... But she screamed a lot at doom3 so I really must see what effect this game has. Predicting sleepless nights. For her.

I bet you'll like the monster in the first water area, he's a real champ.
So I popped into the guest roomSpoiler:
This game is pretty good with the whole scary element, ie being extra careful not to actually let you see the nightmarish horrors sharing the castle with you. And also to discourage you from actually looking at them. Very clever design.

Purchased a Nuvi Garmin GPS 12/23/10 as a present. The recipient declined the gift and I attempted to return it to the original store. My personal identification was requested. I showed my drivers license but said that I did NOT want my info entered into their database. The employee said that nothing could be done. I asked for a manager, he said he was it. Following day, I called the store manager and related the problem. He said there was no way to process a refund without submission of my information. I did not have to provide personal info in order to buy the item and I shouldn't have to provide it for a refund. Then I called Sears 800 customer service. I spoke with Miranda, emp #77020, who said that "...no one can help me with that..." and that "...nothing can be done...". I asked for a manager/supervisor and spoke with Alexis, emp #250901. She reiterated what everyone else had said, that no refund can be processed without caving into to this corporate policy and allowing my personal info to be gathered, coalated, analyzed and potentially sold as a commodity by one of the wealthiest retail marketers in the US. I respectfully decline and choose to opt out of this practice. I understand the need to prevent fraudulent returns. I verified my identity and have the original receipt. It is MY policy not to have personal info entered into anyone's database, for any reason. I am incredulous that NO ONE at Sears can think outside the box and find a way to resolve my issue without violating my principles. I object to being forced to submit to data collection in order to obtain a refund. I resent having company policy quoted as opposed to action being taken to resolve my issue. I'm very dissatisfied. I want a refund check sent to my address of the full purchase price, $106.99. Sears may have my name & address and nothing else.
Um, then wouldn't that involve you supplying your PERSONALINFORMATION?? You say you understand the need to prevent fraud, so I guess that IDON'T understand why you're refusing. I mean, I'd rather have my $106 back!
well it looks like you lost $106.99 then. if everyone else complies tothe policies and procedures that keep the store from taking a loss,what is it that makes you so special?
Sometimes you have to show ID with a return. I know Target's returnpolicy, for example, clearly states that an ID MAY be required for ANYreturn, even if you are not doing anything out of the ordinary. Returning items to a store is not an automatic, if you choose not toabide by a company's return policy, than that is your right. Just asthe company has a right to set their own return policy. As othershave said, the alternative is a "no return, period" policy. In the future, if you are very selective about your personalinformation, I suggest you familiarize yourself with a company'sreturn policy BEFORE you make a purchase, and specifically ask amanager if and when you might be required to show ID. Then choose toshop at those stores that do not require IDs for returns. It is yourresponsibility to be an informed consumer.
Good for you! Its time we start standing up and challenging bigbusinesses and their motives. As the person below said, LawEnforcement, Finance, and Gov't Agencies are the only groups thatshould be taking your information. Its starting to get annoying that WE are subject to THEIR terms andconditions. Its as if WE dont matter. Perhaps they do have honest motives like preventing fraud, but, iftheir data systems become compromised and your information is stolenand used to commit fraud against you, thats not exactly fair. As far as im concerned, sears can have two pieces of information- Myfull name, and my zip code. No DL numbers, SSN's phone numbers or fulladdresses, too many opportunites for ID theft and or unwanted mailingsor phone calls from the advertising department.
I agree 100% with the letter writer. I don't care what Sears' excuse is but they have no right to collectthis personal information from anyone. Sears doesn't work in lawenforcement, in finance or for the government - the only three areasof industry I can think of that have a right to ask for and obtainthis sort of data. If this policy is challenged in court, it will be over-turned by thejudge presiding over the matter. I'm pretty confident on that. Also please see the court case published TODAY on CNN.com regardingCalifornia ordering retailers to stop asking consumers for zip codes.If that isn't legal in CA, this policy will DEFINITELY be shot down inCA as well. If it gets shot down in CA, Sears will probably be coerced intore-doing the policy nationwide as that would be easier than havingdifferent policies state-by-state where Sears operates.
"I want a refund check sent to my address of the full purchase price,$106.99. Sears may have my name & address and nothing else." Well, then apparently you may have NO REFUND!
The information is collected so that if they need to they can verifythat you actually returned the merchandise and it's not an employeedoing fake returns. It has nothing to do with selling your
"It is MY policy not to have personal info entered into anyone'sdatabase, for any reason." Then get rid of your drivers license and your Social Security card,for starters, because having those things puts your personal info in adatabase.
If you don't want to return the items to Sears and get a refund, thenyou can try selling the Garmin on Ebay or Craig'slist. You can eventry giving it to someone else as a gift. Most stores ask for your name and address when returns are made. Thisis to keep track of who is making returns. Another option for you is to ask the person who you were going to giveit to, to return it for you. That way their information is given andnot yours.
$100+ gift and the person didn't want it? Yowza.
From what I"ve read, stores keep track of this information and shareit -- through a couple of different clearinghouses -- and then theyuse that info to identify people who do too many returns (then thosepeople are denied the ability to return at some stores, even at storesthey've never shopped at before).
I'll echo what the others have said. Sounds like you were wanting toreturn outside of the normal window. Therefore, you're asking themfor special consideration. You're asking for a favor. They aren't the ones asking for special consideration, therefore, theydon't have to play by your policies.
Sorry, if you want the refund which seems to be outside the normalreturn period, you need to supply the information. There is no"thinking outside the box" involved here. You want them to dosomething "outside the box" so you need to abide by their policy,
I'm with Pepper and Nicole on this. Two choices: Give the information requested and get the refund. or Not give the information and figure out what to do with the goods. Much the same that they can ask what they want you have the right tonot play along, refuse to answer and not get the results you desire. BillR.
You are not providing the full story. The only time they do get your DL number (regarding returns) isbecause you either do NOT have the receipt or it is over the 90/30 dayreturn policy. You say it is from electronics? 30 day return policy,which would make the last day you could return it around 1/23. So, you are over the 30 days and they were going to do a courtesyreturn/refund for you. This means you have to play by their rules,sorry. Also, they don't sell your information. I'm "in the system" both withmy address and DL number. I have never received any junk mail that Ican tie to Sears. What could they do with your DL number? They couldget more information from your name and address, anyway. The most theycould pull from your DL number is your birthdate, maybe.
the reason information is stored into the database is most likely toensure a customer isn't a "serial returner' aka someone who buys an item to use it for a few days and then returnsit ... like they were "renting" it. as for your personal data being in a database... um it already is. seriously. it's public information. http://www.spokeo.com/ ... www.zabasearch.com ... and those are justtwo sites. i've seen others too.

You may have seen some additions to our on-mountain restroom facilities in the past month. We have posted "Your Responsibility Code" in many of the restrooms. While it may be intuitive for most of us to follow the basic safety rules, its always a good idea to give yourself a refresher on the rules of the mountain. An old motto is "safety, fun and learning." If safety comes first, fun and learning are sure to follow. So make a promise to yourself to follow the responsibility code and share it with others - this is the best recipe for a great day on the mountain.
KNOW THE CODE. IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. This is a partial list. Be safety conscious. Officially endorsed by: NATIONAL SKI AREAS ASSOCIATION.
Our website features a whole section on safety. Be sure to review this section for helpful tips and other information.
Live the Code - Watch the Video!

Hundreds strolled along Utah Beach where some of the fiercest fighting occurred and hundreds more placed wreaths at military cemeteries. Most of the Jewish and non-Jewish veterans came on their own. A few were members of the official delegations of the Western allied nations commemorating the opening phase of the battle to liberate Europe and destroy the Third Reich. Dutch Group Demands Ban On Kosher Slaughtering AMSTERDAM (JTA)—A new demand to ban the ritual slaughter of animals in Holland for consumption by observant Jews and Moslems has been announced by the Netherlands Society for the Protection of Animals. The group has urged the Deputy Minister of Agriculture to prohibit, effective immediately, the slaughter of animals for export without first stunning them and to ban ritual slaughter for local consumption within a three year period. Should a local ban be instituted, it would affect only the small proportion of Holland's 20,000 Jews who observe kashrut. But Jewish ritual slaughter for export is considerable. BERKELEY,, CALIF. (WNS)—A resolution on a Berkeley ballot, voted on in conjunction with the California Presidential primary, calling for cuts in United States aid to Israel, was defeated by a nearly three-to- one vote, a spokesman for the Coalition for Middle East Peace and Justice reported June 7. She said the vote was 29,279 against and 12,107 for in the voting on Measure E, the title for the proposal. Berkeley has 68,000 registered voters. The proposal, placed on the ballot by an ad hoc group called Taxpayers for Peace in the Middle East (TAPME), declared that "the people of the City of Berkeley call on the United States Government' to reduce its yearly aid to Israel by an amount equal to what it determines to be the most accurate approximation of what Israel spends annually on its settlements in the occupied territories of the West Bank, Gaza Strip and the Golan Heights." TAPME was created by the American Arab Anti-Dis- Louis Robins Nominated To Serve Village J.

As chairman of the Robins Beverage Group, Robins is also active in other aspects of community life, including currently serving on the National Committee for ORT, past president of ORT and past Advance Gift chairman for the United Jewish Fund. Kimche Says Beirut Regime Must Approach Israel On Withdrawal JERUSALEM (JTA) - Israel will not approach the Lebanese government for any deal aimed at the withdrawal of the Israel defense Force from south Lebanon. But it will consider any proposal offered, by the Beirut regime, David Kimche, Director General of the Foreign Ministry said last week. Speaking on the second anniversay of the start of "■ "Operation Peace for Galilee," Kimche said Israel will follow a "pragmatic" course for the time being and will seek security arrangements in south Lebanon in cooperation with local elements, not the Lebanese government. "We will not run after them, neither do we intend to repeat the process of Khalde and Kiryat Shemona," Kim che said. He >vas referring to the long drawn out negotiations in those towns that led uthmately to the May 17, 1983 withdrawal and security agreement between Israel and Lebanon — an agreement repudiated this year by the government of President Amin Gemayel. Nevertheless, Kimche said, if the government of Lebanon offers Israel proposals that would make feasible the withdrawal of the IDF from south Lebanon, "we shall be pragmatic and consider them."

(JTA) —Rabbi Gilbert Klaperman, outgoing president of the Rabbinical1 Council of America, an Orthodox rabbinical group, said here that he hoped his successor would create a commission on religious needs of women which he had not been able to do. He told the 48th annual convention of the Rabbinical Council there was "an urgent need" for such a commission to deal "with the needs of women to find some form of rewarding participation" in the Orthodox synagogue! He added that such a commission should study and issue guidelines on areas in which women "may legitimately take part in women's prayer groups, as well as in the administrations of synagogues, within Halachic parameters." ll crimination Committee, which has headquarters in Washington.

New addition to the family of Glocks that is.
I had a hard decision to make. I really wanted a G36, and have also wanted a G34 for a while as well. The 36 mainly for carrying since it is light and packs a punch, and the 34 for possible UDPL shoots. I haven't done those before, but they look really fun.
I have been browsing KSL for a while and there was one of each listed for a great price. After much consideration I went with this:
Also went to Doug's to shoot it yesterday. It shoots great. But I could have used some help. For some reason I was Mr. Flinches-a-bunch. That's usually not the case. Maybe I was too excited. I shot mainly at 15 to 20 feet. I would have tried farther but the lane I was in only went out to 20 feet due to an issue. This was my best grouping. Others weren't too bad, but the flinch-itis was definitely there. Ten shots in the pic. Good thing I'm taking moyler's dry-fire class.
