Torrey Smith fans at Stafford High wear his jersey as support
January 14, 2012 by Sue Gill
Filed under News, Top Stories
Several faculty members at Stafford High School wore Torrey Smith jerseys to school on Friday, Jan. 13, to show their support for Stafford alumnus Torrey Smith.
Smith was an outstanding quarterback for the varsity team while he was at SHS. He was elected homecoming king his senior year.
Smith went on to sign a football scholarship with the University of Maryland where he was an outstanding wide receiver breaking Maryland's record in yards. Smith was drafted in the second round by the Ravens in last year's NFL draft.
Smith was named the NFL player of the week when his first three touches on the ball resulted in three catches for touchdowns. Smith has proven a valuable players for the Ravens. This weekend he plays in his first NFL/AFL playoff game.
The faculty wore his shirts with pride. Several faculty members were not available for the photo but they are supporting Smith's efforts this weekend.

It is important to know that Google actually endorses SEO related services when they are done correctly. On Google's webmaster central they have a series of bullet points that should be a concern for every person or business of acquiring some sort of search engine optimization services for their business. They cover some of the most important points I have been stressing for many years.
"No one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google.
Beware of SEOs that claim to guarantee rankings, allege a "special relationship" with Google, or advertise a "priority submit" to Google. There is no priority submit for Google. In fact, the only way to submit a site to Google directly is through our Add URL page or by submitting a Sitemap and you can do this yourself at no cost whatsoever."
Right from the mouth of Google! If you speak with an SEO company that is guaranteeing search engine rankings I would walk in the opposite direction because nobody can guarantee any sort of rankings when it comes to search.
"Be careful if a company is secretive or won't clearly explain what they intend to do.
Ask for explanations if something is unclear. If an SEO creates deceptive or misleading content on your behalf, such as doorway pages or "throwaway" domains, your site could be removed entirely from Google's index. Ultimately, you are responsible for the actions of any companies you hire, so it's best to be sure you know exactly how they intend to "help" you. If an SEO has FTP access to your server, they should be willing to explain all the changes they are making to your site."
There are no secrets with SEO. It is simply the process of marketing your business and in return you generate great search rankings over time as your efforts age to help build visitors to your website. You have to develop trust in the search engines and prove you are a legitimate brand and business and over time you will be rewarded with improved search engine rankings. Don't believe anyone that claims they have the "secrets" to SEO because it doesn't work that way. When Google comes out and tells you that it is a very distasteful approach to take you need to listen and adhere to their warnings so that you don't get burned by any SEO firms.

"I tried that once and it didn't work." Don't even think those words!
"I tried that once and it didn't work." Don't even think it, let alone say it! I hear this a fair amount from parents who are always looking for something new, a magic bullet, if you will, to make their kids change their behavior.
How often did you try? Once? Twice? Three times you're out? I'll bet if your kid told you she gave up after one try you'd have a fit. Try, try again. Practice makes perfect. Don't be a quitter. If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for you. Remember – any expectations you have for your kids you must have for yourself, or you lose all credibility.
One of my favorite mantras is "Repetition is the mother of skill." You used it to learn to walk and ride a bike, type and cook, speak a first and maybe a second language. You may not always get it right, but you usually get it 'better'.
The same applies to skills and strategies you use in raising your children. Yes, I know, every so often there is something you need to toss because it really doesn't work; however, most of the time it is a question of practice and persistence. It takes time for you to master the skill and time for your child to adjust to the 'new you', and the new boundaries and expectations you set.
When you find yourself frustrated and ready to give up, remember the hopes and dreams you have for you and your children. Put your money where your mouth is and stick with it. They are counting on you to help them grow up to be confident, resilient and strong.
(If this struck home for you today, please do me a quick favor. There is somebody else you know who needs to hear this, who may have given up too quickly and doesn't know how to get back on track. You can forward this email, or just post the link for this page (http://www.yourfamilymatterscoach.com/?p=1590) on Facebook and Twitter. Someone will be glad you did.

Setting up Tunnelr to work with dd-wrt using openVPN
Before we begin, make sure that you have purchased a router that supports the dd-wrt firmware AND that that firmware version also supports openVPN, they don't all necessarily do, so do some checking at http://www.myopenrouter.com. I purchased the Netgear n900 WNDR4500 which supported dd-wrt and openVPN as of Feb 26, 2013.
lastly, make sure your router supports JFFS — the Journaling Flash File System. Check the dd-wrt wiki ahead of time.
I'll assume you have flashed your router and have access to the dd-wrt admin panel for your router, if you haven't, check the link above for instructions. I'll also assume you have an account at Tunnelr.

Teach Protocols, Not Languages.
Joe Armstrong is one of my computer science heros. He wrote this this morning and I wanted to make sure I had a copy of it, for posterity.
Old timer here ... When I learnt programming (1967) , I could choose between FORTRAN and (it was rumoured, Algol) but nobody knew anything about Algol so it was FORTRAN. The turn round time for a program was three weeks week 1 - write code on paper forms - send to computer center to be turned into punched cards week 2 - review punched cards, if ok send to machine week 3 - results The compiler helpfully stopped at the first syntax error which got you back to week 1 - so if you had say ten errors in your program it would take 30 weeks to get it running. This is a pretty good environment - teaches you not to make mistakes and to think first. By about 1970 I was at university and turn round times were down to 4 hours and you could punch your own cards - it was still FORTRAN By 1974 I got access to a computer -- a honywell DDP516 - with a colossal 32 KB memory. So the 474 pass FORTRAN compiler could compile a hundred line program in less than a week (or so ...) Things improved - I went to CERN and used the CRAY1 this could compile 100K lines of FORTRAN in 1 picosecond (ie about a zillion times slower than my mobile phone today) Still Fortran. In 1974 (ish) I got to play with a DEC10 - Now I could write FORTRAN, Basic, assembler and it had time-sharing (wow) turn round times of seconds. If I'd been In the USA I'd be Bill Gates, but this was Edinburgh. In 1976 I got a job programming a NORD10 in FORTRAN/Assembler and it was really fast turn round times of seconds. In 1980 ish I was still programming in FORTRAN - I forget the name of the machine all files were in one directory, no full-screen editor, no revision control system, I wrote about 150K lines of FORTRAN for it. 1985 I joined Ericsson - wow a VAX11/750 - new languages to learn. Bye bye FORTRAN I learnt (with various degrees of proficiency) Lisp, Prolog, awk, bash, smalltalk, TCL, and became proficient in Prolog (aggghhh - the beauty ....) I also played with just about any language I could get my hands on (ML, forth, ...) Then I (1986) got into my Erlang Phase (I couldn't really learn Erlang, 'cos it didn't exist, so I invented it) - it was really an outgrowth of Prolog+Smalltalk with a bit of error recovery concurrency and distribution throw in. Then I learnt (badly) C - But Mike Williams said my C was crap and looked like Fortran so he binned my C ... (why use malloc and free and pointers anyway ...) I saw C++ coming and read the book - or at least tried to read the book - there's a dent in the wall behind my piano, where the book hit the wall - Improvements to C should make things easier not more complicated, I thought. Time passed. I tried Java (not impressed, ok it's better than C++, but oh so verbose, I used to get programmers "white fingers" when programming FORTRAN you have to write hundreds of lines to do the smallest thing - Java seemed similar - so verbose) - I also (later) tried Python (ok), Ruby (ok), Lua(better), Javascript(I like :-) It's actually taken me quite a long time to learn all these languages, and they didn't all come at once. I had a good 15 years of FORTRAN - long enough to get good at it, 10 years of Prolog, 20 years of Erlang etc. I also had a long time to assimilate the new ideas - the ideas in programming come pretty slowly - once every twenty years or so somebody has a really good idea, programming today hasn't improved much in the last 20 years - it was mess then and it's still a mess. IDE's and revision control systems have just made matters worse - now you have all the old versions of the mess as well as the mess itself, and the IDE means you can't even see the mess. The best IDE in the world is your BRAIN - it's a zillion times better than these clicky things. What's this got to do with education? Suppose you're starting off. You can choose between twenty odd languages (all of them good for one reason or another) what took me 40 years to learn, you must try to understand in 2-3 years, this is just not possible. What languages should a beginner learn, what languages should a school teach? Now we get to the paradox of choice - because there are so many alternatives it becomes impossible to choose. Old timers say "choose the language appropriate to the problem" when you know 20 odd languages (with varying degrees of proficiency) this is easy to say - but If you know two languages Java and C then this isn't much help. There are literally problems where the solution in a CLP language is a few lines and is thousands of lines in C. What would I recommend learning? - C - Prolog - Erlang (I'm biased) - Smalltalk - Javascript - Hakell / ML /OCaml - LISP/Scheme/Clojure A couple of years should be enough (PER LANGUAGE). Notice there is no quick fix here - if you want a quick fix go buy "learn PHP in ten minutes" and spend the next twenty years googling for "how do I compute the length of a string" The crazy think is we still are extremely bad at fitting things together - still the best way of fitting things together is the unix pipe find ... | grep | uniq | sort | ... and the *fundamental* reason for this is that components should be separated by well-defined protocols in a universal intermediate language. Fitting things together by message passing is the way to go - this is basis of OO programming - but done badly in most programming languages. If ALL applications in the world were interfaced by (say) sockets + lisp S expressions and had the semantics of the protocol written down in a formal notation - then we could reuse things (more) easily. Today there is an unhealthy concentration on language and efficiency and NOT on how things fit together and protocols - teach protocols and not languages. And teach ALGORITHMS.

Remembering our guardians at the gate
The solemn act of honoring those who have fallen in battle is a custom that seems to have faded in importance to our nation over time.
Nowadays, many Americans have forgotten the meaning and traditions of Memorial Day. At cemeteries across the country, the graves of the fallen are sadly ignored, and worse, neglected.
While there are towns and cities still planning Memorial Day parades, many have not held a parade in decades. Some think the day is for honoring anyone who has died, not just those fallen in service to our country.
Perhaps they do not know how deeply our nation once appreciated those who sacrificed their lives in defense of the principles we hold most dear. Perhaps those very principles of individual sovereignty, freedom and liberty are no longer so important.
It was not always so. In 1868, on May 5th, Memorial Day, originally called "Decoration Day," was officially proclaimed by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, in his General Order No. 11.
General Logan asked that we cherish "tenderly the memory of our heroic dead, who made their breasts a barricade between our country and its foes. Their soldier lives were the reveille of freedom to a race in chains, and their deaths the tattoo of rebellious tyranny in arms. We should guard their graves with sacred vigilance. All that the consecrated wealth and taste of the nation can add to their adornment and security is but a fitting tribute to the memory of her slain defenders."
But times change. In the 1960s our warriors were not welcomed back from battle with parades and cheers, and the fallen were not honored as they had been in the past.
Perhaps reflecting those times, the Uniform Holidays Bill was passed in 1968 as part of a move to use federal holidays to create three-day weekends – time for fun and recreation, rather than remembrance and reflection.
Thus, from 1971 onwards, the Memorial Day holiday was officially observed on the last Monday in May and became the unofficial start of the summer, with barbecues, blockbuster movie openings and mattress sales.
No less than the Veterans of Foreign Wars organization was later moved to say "Changing the date merely to create three-day weekends has undermined the very meaning of the day. No doubt, this has contributed greatly to the general public's nonchalant observance of Memorial Day."
It was around that time as well that defense spending began a steep decline, and in 1976, for the first time, entitlement spending exceeded defense spending. It is a trend that has rapidly accelerated, with spending on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid more than double that of national defense, a core constitutional function of government.
Nonetheless, the United States of America still possesses the greatest military force the world has ever known. Our soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen volunteer to protect and defend this country and all its citizens, and do so with honor, integrity and excellence. Our nation continually asks them to do more and more, with less and less.
We must never forget why we have, and why we need our military. Our armed forces exist solely to ensure our nation is safe, so that each and every one of us can sleep soundly at night, knowing we have "guardians at the gate."
Those who serve today deserve our gratitude, those who are returning from the battlefield deserve our open arms, and those who will never return deserve our thoughts, tributes and remembrance.
In 2000, President Clinton passed a resolution asking all Americans to observe a "National Moment of Remembrance" at 3 p.m. on each Memorial Day "to remember and reflect on the sacrifices made by so many to provide freedom for all." I know what I will be doing at 3 p.m. this Memorial Day. I hope I will not be alone.
For as General Logan proclaimed, "Let no vandalism of avarice or neglect, no ravages of time testify to the present or to the coming generations that we have forgotten as a people the cost of a free and undivided republic."
They were steadfast and loyal.

Extensive fibrosis caused by Pleural Tuberculosis: A lesson from a case without post-exposure-prophylaxis
Pediatric Pulmonology, 05/25/2012
Emmrich JV et al. – The authors report the case of a 9–year–old boy with extensive pleural fibrosis and contraction of the affected hemithorax secondary to pleural tuberculosis (TB), who was successfully treated with a 6 months course of the standard WHO regimen. Although well described for the adult population, this complication is rare among children and to knowledge, no such case has been described since the widespread introduction of antitubercular therapy in the 1950s.

This was very good and easy to make. My only complaint was that it was so moist before cooking that it didn't hold the loaf shape very well in the crockpot and flattened out quite a bit. It still tasted great and had great texture. The end result was still a very firm loaf, despite how moist it was before cooking.

Best meatloaf ever and soooo easy! I do like the "sling" idea someone else had and I will do that next time. Not only will it make it easier to get out of the crockpot, I will keep it a bit off the bottom of the crockpot so it dont sit in the fat the entire time.

Review of Festool: OF-2200 (574277)
February 02, 2011, 07:41 PM »
I would like to share my positive experience with Festool's flagship router: OF-2200 EB. This is biggest, the most powerful, and priciest router currently offered by Festool.
First I'll quote some specs:
- Power consumption 2200 watts
- Drive shaft speed 10,000 – 22,000 rpm
- Quick depth adjustment range 80 mm (3-5/32")
- Weight 7.8 kg (17.2 lbs)
Festool USA currently offers OF-2200 for $800.
The standard scope of delivery includes:
- OF-2200 router
- Systainer 4
- Collet ½"
- Chip catcher
- Dust extraction hood
- Standard U.S. guide bushing adaptor
What is so exciting about this router? That's not just a router. This is ROUTER within SYSTEM.
OF-2200 was designed as portable hand-held shaper. In addition to that router has close to 100% dust extraction system. Plus it has a lot of accessories. Some of them were designed exclusively for OF-2200 router, some of them like MFS system can be used with any router. Some of them like FS/2 Festool rails can be used with wide variety of Festool tools.
Let start review from handles. Power switch located on the left handle, plunging mechanism lock located on the right handle. So operator keeps full control with two hands and operates at the same time. Another innovation is that handles have 30 degree offset for improving guidance and for more natural grip position.
OF-2200 has amazing dust extraction system. Router's base has built in dust Shute. OF-2200 is first router with spring activated moving shroud. Shroud release button located close to the left handle. Simply press the shroud release button and shroud drops into place.
This router is really chip making machine. Just check out size of chip catcher on the right. I placed chip catchers from OF-1010 (on the left) and from OF-1400 (in the middle) just for showing the difference.
OF-2200 has magnetic brakes. Electronic step-less speed control dial located on the left side.
Router has four position depth stop. Two adjustable positions, one fixed position and one special finishing pass position for repeatable and consistent step cutting. Micro adjuster has good graphic instructions for proper rotation.
Another good feature is one tool ratcheting router collet changing mechanism. This mechanism was introduced first with OF-1400 router, but OF-2200 has head that can be operated from the base side. I suspect that allows changing bits from the top of router table.
The most unusual feature is tool less router base replacing system. Router base can be easily removed with just one lever. But Festool improved this function and introduced self centering bushings. Standard U.S. guide bushing adaptor goes with every Festool router.
As extremely helpful add-in I like accessory kit. This kit includes everything what you might need with this router. As you can see it is well packed in Systeiner 3. Festool offers it as metric or imperial.

I will probably come off sounding like I am gushing with love for this tool. My usage is strictly hobby applications. So far, I have only one very minor nitpick detail that bugs me about the router. I was wanting to be able to use it upside down on occasion and use one of the bases as a permanent mounting plate for usage as a second router table. Found the mounting plates have a tiny amount of slop in the mounting and have not persued that idea any further. Jerry Work uses his in this mode and I will play with this some more in the future to try to come up with a tighter mount. The mounting is solid and secure but there is some slight slop in the way the mounting clips work.
I love so many things about this router. It just screams quality. The ergonomics are perfection to me. The power is incredible but so easily controllable and smooth. The start-up with a really large bit is so smooth and makes it far less scary to use. It has a lot of mass - weight - that really helps for hand held control as it does not jump like some of my lighter weight routers. The dust collection is SUPERB!!!! I have used it with tiny 1/4" bits with no issues as well as very large roundover bits and cabinet bits. The speed control is great and helps to prevent burning. I really struggled with the purchase as the price was so high but now I am so glad I did it. I really recommend the kit with all the add-on bases as I have used all but one of them. To me, it seems obvious that this router was designed to be the finest machine of it's type ever - cost not a consideration.
One more thing - this beast is heavy!! It works to your advantage in most applications but if you were for instance doing dovetails and constantly needing to pick it up and set it down, you might get tired of that. This router is an ideal companion to the 1010 and my 1400 sees virtually no usage now.

I agree -- this is one sweet machine! Something that really is hard to explain until you pick the router up and use it. The accessories are a must-have IMHO and it is worth getting an extra edge guide too for routing edge slots. It is so well balanced that the weight has not been a concern for me and this translates into zero vibration and ultra smooth cuts. This is my only Festool router (although I have used them all in various training classes) and so far it has worked well for everything that I need in a hand-held router and I have held off getting a 1010 or 1400 for now.

This is the best router for large jobs. Ergonomics and dust collection is superb. You have another advantage for this router- CMS. So you can use it as handheld router or table mounted router. just come to stock dealer and ask to try it. You'll never regret. Router is VERY pleasant to work with. I don't know how it's priced in Australia, but in the USA accessory kit is a good money saver. I hope that you'll enjoy it.

I would have most certainly bought the OF 2200 if It were possible, the 1400 is very nice for sure but there's nothing like sheer mass and power for fun routing. I much prefer the handle arrangement and general ergonomics of the 2200. The thing is awesome from top to bottom and every time I read a review I want one even more.

I agree with the others, the OF-1400 is a nice size, but the OF-2200 has fantastic dust collection and more than enough heft to give you great control. But it's about double the price. The base kit is a definite yes even though some bases I don't foresee using (I've said that many times before and been wrong).
When my pesky day-job isn't in the way
I'm building a vanity for my bathroom. On a recent episode, I hogged off about 40% of the total volume of two 24"x30" panels: one panel was done with the OF-1400 and the other with the OF-2200. I filmed them both and put them side by side in the clip so you could see the dust collection.
The blog entry is here for that sculpting episode
The one nuisance of the OF-2200 is that it doesn't have a Plug-It connector, but it's okay since you really should put it in its own socket (not plugged into the CT). It's a beast and the beast needs to be fed!

I am curious what bases you do not think you would ever need? So far I have used them all except for the template base (will use it, just have not had to do so yet). I think that the base kit is the way to go for this and I would strongly recommend adding a second edge guide to the set up for mortises and edge grooves, etc... to keep the machine centered.
I love this thing and it still remains my favorite Festool, with the Domino coming in a close second...

cheers, justin.
don't get it unless you buy the accessory set that goes with it, in my opinion.
it is heavy, stable, and does anything you want it to do. when you look at the steps
on the progressive plunge stop, the first thing you notice is that there aren't a lot of
them, and they cover a pretty fair distance. this is not a mistake. you don't need a lot
of passes to get a lot done. it'll go part 6/6 oak across the grain in one pass.
i was putting a full bullnose on 5/4 sapele, across the grain parting the wood, so in
effect, cutting two full bullnoses at once. main thing to remember is not to go too slow,
you don't want to burn the wood. it doesn't even flinch.
and if you get an excessive bite as i did, into wood that has a hidden flaw, there is a
loud *bang*, and the router doesn't even twitch, but large shards of wood leave the
area quickly.
heavy, smooth, and the strongest router i've ever seen. can't recommend it enough,
if you have need for a hand held shaper.
if you can stand the cost, there is a lexan lock mortiser for both mortising, and running
anything else by the cutter you are interested in cutting... i was looking at it, and thinking...
you could cut molding with that thing, it appears...
enjoy it. i suspect you will.
... it's not good.... my festool dealer
knows me by my first name....
...i'm suspecting i'm his 401K.....

Beware: Snoring Can Affect Your Eyes
People who often snore are at risk of higher blood pressure, strokes, heart attack, and of course relationship strains. If that's not enough to look into ways to get your snoring treated, you may be interested to know that snoring can also have a dangerous effect on your eyes.
People who snore often may have a condition called obstructive sleep apnea, a life-altering condition, in which a person unknowingly stops breathing during sleep, or has oxygen-dipping events throughout the night.
This lack of oxygen affects the body negatively in many ways. In relation specifically to eyes, people with obstructive sleep apnea are at risk for:
- Floppy Eye Syndrome
- Normal tension glaucoma
- CPAP associated – eye strain
- Asthenopia (generalized eye discomfort)
- Papilledema (swelling of the optic nerve)
- NAION (decreased oxygen and blood flow to optic nerve)
These last 2 conditions can lead to vision loss.
Also, some of the most common symptoms of sleep apnea include:
- Fatigue
- Tiredness
- Eye strain
- Morning headaches
These common symptoms of snoring and apnea are often confused with eye problems.
If you are snoring or have a family history of snoring, consider treatment and evaluation for your particular situation. If you are experiencing the symptoms mentioned above and sleeping disorders have been ruled out, it may be time to get your eyes evaluated.
Dr. Sosenko's husband, Dr. Chris Burch, is a local optometrist (eye doctor) who provides state-of the-art-eye care at Danada Vision Center located 10 minutes north of Sherman Oaks Dental at 115 Danada Square W, Wheaton, IL near the Subway at Butterfield and Naper Blvd. Their telephone number is (630)668-0378.
Dr. Lydia Sosenko of Dental Sleep & TMD Center of Illinois is a general dentist with specialized training in the state of the art treatment of snoring and apnea with oral appliance therapy. She also works with local physicians who treat obstructive sleep apnea with other treatments such as CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure device).
For more information on the dangers of snoring and apnea, visit Dr. Sosenko website www.TiredOfSnoring.com. It could save your relationship, and your life!

Personally I'm against abortion (having found that one out the hard way) but I'm unreservedly pro-choice, my ex flatmate had an abortion in January and I fully supported her, it was unquestionably the right thing to do. You can lecture about being responsible sexually, but absolutely no method of contraception is 100% effective. There's always a remote chance that despite doing everything right, you can still fall pregnant. My old flatmate was on the pill, and had massively infrequent periods, yet she still fell pregnant. Her weird cycle must've meant there was a thousands to one shot that she would fall pregnant, yet it happened. I've got another friend who was on the pill and was prescribed a course of antibiotics which weren't compatible with the pill, something she wasn't warned about, and she's now pregnant. |

A friend of mine got his then girlfriend pregnant at university...I didn't know this until she had had an abortion. I asked him, when he told me that he'd got her pregnant, what they decided to do, and he just sneered, "get rid of it," I found that a little unsettling, but it is a case of seeing things through my own eyes. I couldn't cope with a child of mine being terminated but obviously not everyone sees it like me. A horrible situation, of course, would be if the woman really wanted an abortion. I've posted on this before. I wouldn't ever want a child of mine to be terminated, what would I do if a woman I had knocked up did? Ugh. Such a horrible situation, albeit hypothetical, thankfully.

Cases where parents are/would be violent should and are dealt with differently but it is typical of the culture that the previous government set up that people think it's okay and also that they legislate for a rare circumstance and get it to apply across the board. |

I don't really understand the argument for 'legalize it only if....'. Either you think it's murder or you don't. If you do, the only way it should be legal is if the mother's life is in danger and it's a choice between mother and the child. If you don't think it's murder, than why put any restrictions on it at all? I don't get the 'middle' position.
I'm completely pro-choice by the way. Quote:
Obviously it's a personal choice, and I have no problem with people being completely pro-life. For me personally though, I think if neither of us are ready to have a child, an abortion would be a very real option. Quote:

Sorry, are you talking about abortion in general or the not informing the parents part?
The former, pretty much all circumstances. The latter, if the person in question (maybe a trained psychologist has to make that decision) thinks there is a legitimate risk of emotional or physical abuse if the daughter's pregnancy and/or abortion is revealed to the parents. |

That's were we get into the argument of "When does life start?" But I suppose that's like saying killing a baby isn't killing a human being.

I don't know about teachers necessarily, but I do think a minor should be able to go to a doctor and request an abortion (or birth control etc) without parental consent.

With Goughy and GIMH both being parents, their POV is entirely reasonable with regards to teachers and abortions, I don't doubt that. I do think that SS's idea of a teacher/doctor/child consultation is probably the best way to go about things.

Here's a fun question for you - who do you think bears the responsibility of handling the emotional fallout from a teenage girl having an abortion? Be nice and easy for parents to look after their daughters when they don't know why they are going through such trauma hey, and who suffers the most then? And under 16s don't have doctor-patient confidentiality... |
