Posted on 05/30/2010 7:10:40 PM PDT by stillafreemind
David was 14. He was ball tapped by a peer. A 14 year old is old enough to know better but it seems that anything goes these days. It gets worse. A 5 year old boy was operated on in Indiana for injuries received in a ball tapping.
(Excerpt) Read more at associatedcontent.com ...
What a sick generation of young kids.
There won't be enough psychiatrists in the world to heal all these wounded children.
When I was 14 touching another dudes junk was an invitation to an butt whoopin.......
What next??? Our society and culture is having a nervous breakdown...
Last time this topic was posted the mods pulled it,
Yup. It's crazy. I pack a 380 pistol every where I go these days. (All legal of course)
Boys Injured by 'Sack Tapping' Game
Posted by Al Tompkins at 12:05 AM on May 27, 2010
If it were just an isolated incident, it would not matter as much. But "sack tapping," or hitting or kicking someone in the testicles, is a YouTube attraction and is leaving serious injuries.
Take this story from Minnesota for example, which quotes a local urologist saying he performs three to four surgeries a year on teens who have been injured in these so-called games. He sees dozens of such injuries in his office that do not require surgery. All in just one community.
Late last year, WTHR-TV in Indianapolis took a deeper look at the rumors of widespread sack tapping (also called "ball tapping"). I appreciate that this station, which often proves to be thoughtful in its reporting, conducted a survey of school nurses to find out the extent of the phenomenon, rather than rely on anecdotal evidence. My friend and investigative reporter Bob Segall reported:
"It's a disturbing game with devastating consequences, and a new WTHR survey suggests it is rampant in Indiana schools [PDF].
" 'Ball tapping' is the act of intentionally hitting or kicking a male in the genitals. Earlier this month, an Eyewitness News investigation showed the game has become commonplace in some area schools, resulting in serious injuries for students.
"As part of the investigation, WTHR also conducted a statewide survey of school nurses. The results are in, and they show the problem of ball tapping is more common and widespread than many school officials had realized.
"School nurses from 163 Indiana schools participated in the anonymous survey, and 33% of those nurses said they're aware of ball tapping happening at their school within the past twelve months.
"But a closer look at the statistics shows the problem is much more serious in some schools than in others.
"23% of school nurses who work at the elementary level say they've seen or heard of ball tapping at their school. That number nearly doubles in high schools, where 43% of school nurses say they've seen it.
"And in middle schools, 62% of school nurses said they're aware of students engaged in ball tapping.
" 'I would have expected it to be a low number,' said Mary Conway, president of the Indiana Association of School Nurses. 'I would not have expected [school nurses] to have had much experience with it at all ... because I think it's something most kids won't talk about with a nurse. I'm very surprised by this whole issue and it's given me a new perspective.'
"Among the 72 middle school and high school nurses who participated in WTHR's survey, 50% said they had seen students who came to the school clinic seeking assistance related to an incident of ball tapping. Half of those nurses also reported they had observed the problem several (more than two) times each school year, and about 10% said it happens at their school on a daily or weekly basis."
A lawsuit involving sack tapping even ended up on the "Judge Judy" show.

Why? Parents should definitely be made aware of this cruel practice, and teach their sons how to defend themselves.
Sounds like assault to me.
Wow..I didn't know that. I thought since Fox news is writing about it it would be okay to post it here. I really thought parents needed to know about this. I had no clue..but maybe I'm the only one who didn't know about this.
I sure wasn't trying to break any rules. I thought this was a serious subject.
What ever happened to a simple card game of "Crazy 8s", aka, "Knuckles"?
I agree, but the mod pulled it and said "no thanks"
It is suitable material for FR.
Any article warning of danger to children should be acceptable.
Thank you for starting this thread.
Actualization of self-hate for being a boy as taught by their man-hating, lesbian, leftist teachers. Girl power!
Some of these Sunday mods are prissy old women who faint at the mention of "balls"...even in this context.
Those dumb enough to do it are probably the ones we don't want to breed...
The perpetrators of this stuff need some time in juvenile detention. If that damages their little futures well, it aught to.
Whew! Thanks. I don't like to cause trouble or anything. I guess I was just appalled that this was going on. We have young boys in the family and I had no clue.
It is serious.
I wasnt dinging you for posting.
Well I wont comment.
They probably need to be kicked square in the nuts
I don't think the victims are volunteering and they're the ones who are being removed from the gene pool.
I just went to that site and got all confused. There's a video ad for "Underjams" next to the ball tapping article. There are three little boys playing hacky-sack, kicking around this little ball, and then they tackle each other.
I thought the video was showing an example of ball tapping, but it wasn't that at all. They were kicking the ball, not having their balls kicked.
They are volunteering.
Our kids are marching off the cliff.
Epic WTF.
It is a serious subject. Thank you for posting it.
This stuff went on at my jr high in the sixties. Back then we called it "racking." There was also the towel-popping in the locker room.
Dunno if they're hitting harder now, but you definitely had to watch your family jewels when I was in school.
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
They need to stand before a court and be sent to a facility where the weight and inappropriateness of their violent actions can be brought home to them, their egotism can be dealt with, and where they can't bother decent children.
When you consider how many times this has been portrayed in the movies and TV over the past 20 years as being hilarious and without repercussions, it's not surprising.
Who's tappin what?
You are welcome and thank you!
Wow, something new. Where do they think the expression "wear a cup" came from?
I am so naive on so many things..
Like this
Amputate the perps penis as an object lesson. That will stop it straight-up.
These kids are struggling to show their manhood.
They are coddled and stupid and unguided.
Its twisted.
Bingo. That's why it's marginalized by the word "tap."
It should be treated as violent assault with suspencsion and criminal charges, nothing less.
You can be damn sure that if it ever became popular to do something similiar to girls, there would be candlelight vigils and demands for the death penalty.
You're right, it is a serious topic and I am also glad that you reposted it.
It certainly needs to be seen so that parents are aware and can do what they can to protect their sons.
Thank you.
And I dont understand why.
It is a very unpleasant subject.
It wasn't a Sunday mod.....
The last two were pulled yesterday.
I thought this was a story about kids playing baseball
I re-read the article and still couldn't find any indication that the victims were asking to be hit in the groin. The assailant might think it's a great game - the victim, not so much.
Our kids are being led off a cliff.
These kids are struggling with manhood but they have not been taught honor or decency.

"Beautiful design printed on a quality textured paper stock. I fell in love with this card in lilac. So classy, so beautiful. It felt right...for all you brides, you know what I mean!"
"I absolutely love these invitations. The paper is gorgeous and the printing is perfect. The die cut I ordered is such a nice touch! Perfect. But, if you can't print out a proof easily, then there is potential for error. So.... Advice! Please call this company to send you a proof or digital email if you need to see and make corrections on paper and not the computer screen. Super customer service. If only all companies were like this one! Sincerely, Barb"
"This design looks exactly the same in person as on the website. I loved the simple design. We are having our wedding on New Year's Eve so it fit in with the season perfectly."
"invitation just as pictured; great quality and colors. This is was exactly what I imagined and it goes so well with my simple but elegant theme"
"When I received my sample invitation in the mail I was wonderfully surprised how stunning the card looked in person. It was everything that I was looking for. Something elegant and beautiful on some very good quality card stock paper. I was worried about ordering white writing on dark paper but it came out looking great with no smudges and nice crisp letters. I was also pleased with their sample booklet that Wedding Paper Divas sent out. It included a mini sample of every cardstock paper they offer and lots of ideas concearning finishing touches, finding the right trim, choosing a favorite font, and a list of the special services that they provide if I ever need them. Overall I am very pleased with Wedding Paper Divas and I will be ordering my invitations from them very soon."

Generic to Brand Name Drugs: A Methodological
Systematic Review PLoS One : 10.1371/journal.pone.0023611
Speeding up the process is a good thing yet strict checks must be put in place. Even if the cost of medicine get lower because of it is exported, what is most important is it effectiveness.
As stated in the conclusion, "there is a serious lack of available data about generic drugs..." Scientific research is based on data and trials.
Hopefully, the 3 things that the FDA are looking for will be sufficient to address this issue.
How To Pass A Drug Test
I have been gaining a lot of usable and exemplifying stuff in your website.
I liked the way you describe generic drugs as "copy cat". But even if generic medicines are just a copy of branded drugs, sometimes they are producing equal therapeutic effects to human body
Generic medicine
Generic drugs are actually the alternatives of branded medicines. In terms of salt, composition and quality, they are exactly similar. The only difference is their brand name. These generic variations of branded medicines have been innovated with a motive to cut individuals pharmacy bills as well as to lessen the increasing cost of pharmacies.ReplyDelete
Hey, I have been searching many blogs on generic drugs But i didn't found any results.The way you have explained the pharmaceutical drugs, I really like. Thanks for sharingReplyDelete

text: I am trying to remove the large header from the home page of the theme "F8 Lite 4.2.1 by Thad Allender". I love this theme and it works great for my client's page, but the header is really taking away from the overall user experience. The fact that you have to scroll down past this large header space to get to information and pages is knocking down page views. I have experimented some with the .css styles embedded in this code, but short of stripping the theme down, I haven't been able to remove JUST the header and its div box.

Main story: How USDA built its FedRAMP-certified cloud service.
David Wennergren, a former Defense Department executive who is now vice president of CACI International's Enterprise Technologies and Services group, recently shared his thoughts on leadership and change management with FCW.
Here is what he had to say about pushing the Navy to reorganize its shore bases into a single command:
I brought with me a few independent brokers, honest brokers to meet with the commanding officers of all the bases and the functional leaders there so that they would actually have skin in the game of making the choices about their future.
I brought enough external voices that could help force [the commanding officers] out of their comfort zone — idea generators coming to work with the people who actually have to own the problem.
After that process finished, there [were] gelling and the hard conversations. We got to the place where we made a set of recommendations that they could do and get done.
Fast forward two years later. Now I'm the deputy chief information officer for the Navy. I'm back in San Diego for a completely different purpose, but I end up at this briefing with all the base commanders.
Two years is like forever. It's different people. Nobody knows that this is the Wennergren who was out there meddling a couple years ago.
They brief me on all the things they were getting done in regionalizing and consolidating the shore installation management functions and how proud they were of what they had accomplished, the $40 million a year they had saved and the more efficient operations and all that kind of stuff.
When we left the meeting, the guy who traveled with me said to me, "Weren't you annoyed that they didn't realize it was you and a few other people helping force them to do it and you were in the middle of the change?"
I said no, I was actually delighted, because that's the art of this light touch. If the change leader is the only person who can make it happen, then it will only last for as long as that person personally has their hands on the wheel.
The only way change can actually stick is if the people who have to live the change have their own skin in the game and force the change to stick.
We forced them to think outside the box, so to speak, but come up with a set of recommendations that they could implement, and once we left they were able to take the ball and run with it. That was the only reason why it actually worked.

Rhode Island Disciplinary Board Corruption
AUTHOR: Justice - ()
SUBMITTED: Saturday, January 11, 2014POSTED: Saturday, January 11, 2014
I also agree with your assessment and thank you naming specific names. The individual in questiion is a haughty character who boldly expresses his appointment by the Supreme Court. My guess is that if some of the judges knew of the lackluster behavior and narcisisstic demeanor of these parasites, they would reconsider many of these "appointments". It is a judicial La Cosa Nostra that is in charge of watching the attorneys--the quintessential Fox guarding the chicken coop.
My recommendation is to contact the Supreme Court directly at their clerk's office through a registered letter. The committee appointments are NOT without review. I can tell you for certain that investigstors such as the "Hummel Report" (an investigatory group that publishes stories regarding Rhode Island corruption) will not cover something like this.
Hummel sticks to stories regarding state workers taking long lucnches on state time and other related matters. He would not sink his teeth into true corruption like you describe. The only way to rout out the corruption is to complain en masse. These narsisisstic sociopaths will continue their shameful activites and express their utter distain for the public they are supposed to support, until they are exposed through mass publication and perhaps federal investigation. let us begin.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

You are correct regarding the Rhode Island disciplinary committee
AUTHOR: Justice - ()
SUBMITTED: Friday, January 10, 2014POSTED: Friday, January 10, 2014
I am not fmailiar with your particular case, although I do feel empathy toward you and your situation. I paid particular attention to your complaint and unsatisfactory response from the Rhode Isand Disciplinary Committee. They are supposed to represent and listen to the public's concerns regarding corrupt actions of attorneys (whether they be law firms or individuals). However, many have experienced their outright arrogance and narcsissism and outright contempt for the general public that looks to them for help and support. Many in that outfit act as a glorified protection racket for certain firms and lawyers and have no sense of empathy toward the public. Perhaps the lack of empathy is due to the fact that no one investigates the investigators. The utter contempt that this commiottee shows toward the general public is appalling and they themselves should be ashamed of their demeanor. I suspect that there may be some upstanding characters in the committee itself, but their voices are drowned out by the narcissistic banter of those (appointed by the Supreme Court no less) who beat their collective chests and collect their paychecks with the confidence that virtual disciplinary immunity brings them. Again, I am sorry for your experience and apologize for the snakes that treated yu that way.

Without further Adiu, there are a Million, or more people who would say GREAT things about JD Lynch Sr and there are a MILLION or more GREAT things to say about him as well! On the other hand, Serena, the girl who has had NO JOB since forever, was hired to be a Disney character in costume. I met Serena on the day of the Bday party for my daughter.Serena and I hit it off well and had CHILDREN in common so without much effort we became friends. Serena asked me to watch her 2 children after only knowing me for a day or two. What I learned about Serena was that SHE HAD ISSUES... Yes Serena went without seeing her children....Because YOU WERE UNPREDICTABLE! Yes Serena no longer had a house.....Because YOU MOVED into your storage unit. This place was litterally a 10x10 room that had a bed with CLOTHES ALL OVER it! The shower was inside a Utility Tub & of course A big TV for her kids TO STARE AT! I know that having grandparents in the middle of a domestic dispute is a REAL b***h because I WAS THERE too! I had come to know Serena and thought how desperately she needed to be pulled out of the tourment she was breeding. I offered to help Serena any way I could. I had suggested a few competent lawyers and MY TRUMP CARD..... SERENA BLEW IT! Serena,if crying out for Mercy is your attempt, you are in the wrong forum. If you want out of the judicial system, I would REMOVE THIS article trying to defimate Johns' GOOD NAME! Hang your head in shame and think about the right way to play THE GAME
PS. Beat the system before the system beats you. And as Andrew Jackson once said "Of all that is put in front of you, Make your CHOICE, and be content with it!

Of course after speaking to the RI Disciplinary Board. David Curtin totally convinces me to file a claim against him. I told him the entire story. I spoke to David twice. " File the claim he said." After getting a volunteer that worked as a writer, she came to my house and spent many hours putting the claim in order piece by piece. It was very clear. Everyone said not to waste our time because the Board would never go against another lawyer. Now I see how true this is. Chris lied to them in ONE sentence, and the board dismissed my complaint.
Yes RI is still the worst state in this country. No justice here. All behind closed doors....Just beware.
The court system is twisted and the Disciplinary Board is just as bad. The only reason they tell you to "file a report". is to keep the jobs going at the Board. If no one files then they do not have a job. Better off not filing so they can go get a real job and not hurt the public...

Challenging Unfair Lending Practices in a Foreclosure
Learn about common unfair mortgage lending practices, and find out if you can get money or stop a foreclosure as a result of such practices.
If your mortgage lender acted deceptively, unethically, unfairly, or in a fraudulent manner when you took out your loan, it may have engaged in unfair lending practices and you may be able to successfully challenge a foreclosure action. Read on to learn more about fighting a foreclosure by showing that your lender engaged in illegal lending practices.
(If you are facing imminent foreclosure, visit our Foreclosure section for help.)
Understanding Unfair Lending Practices
The term "unfair lending practices" encompasses many different type of activities when it comes to loan origination and is frequently used to describe any fraudulent, abusive, discriminatory, or deceptive lending practice. For example, the following actions can constitute unfair lending practices:
- taking advantage of an unsophisticated borrower
- financing excessive points and fees (an excessive cost of credit), and
- engaging in unfair, fraudulent, or deceptive conduct at any time during the loan origination process.
Truth in Lending Act (TILA) and the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act (HOEPA)
The main protections for consumers against unfair lending practices associated with residential mortgage loans are found in the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), as well as in an amendment to TILA called the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act (HOEPA).
TILA Violations
Under TILA, lenders must make certain disclosures about the cost of borrowing in the mortgage documents, including the annual percentage rate, the finance charge, the amount financed, the total payments, and the payment schedule. Lenders that don't provide accurate disclosures are in violation of this law.
HOEPA Violations
HOEPA prohibits late fees greater than 4% of the past due payment and balloon payments are generally prohibited except under limited circumstances, among other things.
Remedies for Violations
Both TILA and HOEPA permit you to sue for money damages, including a refund of any financing costs you paid. In some cases you may be able to rescind (cancel) your mortgage. With a rescission, the lender must give back closing costs and finance charges, and you must return the present balance of the mortgage.
Rescinding the mortgage will stop a foreclosure, but this usually only works if you can arrange a refinance to return the remaining loan principal to the lender. In a robust real estate market this is not a problem, but with a property that is underwater (where the value of the home is less the amount owed), refinancing may not be possible and a court may require you to demonstrate that you can actually complete a valid tender before allowing the rescission.
(Learn more about TILA and HOEPA in Nolo's article Should You Fight Your Foreclosure in Court?)
Common Types of Misconduct that Constitute Unfair Lending Practices
Creditor overreaching and predatory lending are two common types of misconduct that constitute unfair lending practices.
Creditor Overreaching
Creditor overreaching typically occurs in one (or both) of the following ways:
- the cost of a mortgage is substantially more than the benefit the borrower receives from the loan, and/or
- the terms and benefits of the mortgage were misrepresented (or important disclosures were not provided) to the borrower.
Both types of overreaching may be present in a single transaction. If so, this can quickly lead for a foreclosure since the loan is most likely unsuitable and unsustainable for the borrower.
Some examples of creditor overreaching include:
- making a loan in a different amount than the borrower requested with no explanation as to why the amount is different
- making a loan with a higher interest rate than the borrower was promised
- refinancing a loan that requires monthly escrow payments with a new loan that has the same monthly payment, but no escrow requirement
- extending credit to a financially distressed borrower with terms that make a default (and a subsequent foreclosure) more likely, and
- giving an adjustable rate loan to a borrower who is on a fixed income or has little income growth potential.
Creditors that engage in these types of acts may have violated TILA and also be subject to any number of other legal claims, including violations of state unfair and deceptive practices laws and fair lending laws.
Predatory Lending
Predatory lending is any type of unscrupulous lending practice where a lender takes advantage of a borrower. Low-income, elderly, or otherwise vulnerable people are often the target of this type of lending.
The following are a few examples of predatory lending:
- loan flipping (repeated refinances that generate loan fees, prepayment penalties, and other fees for the lender, but result in little or no economic benefit to the borrower)
- "packing" loans with expensive credit insurance products that have limited or no benefit to the borrower
- providing loan terms that make it more difficult or impossible for the borrower to reduce or repay the indebtedness (for example, negative amortization loans)
- marketing inappropriate or expensive products to borrowers who are elderly or have little education and who would have qualified for mainstream credit products and terms
- using balloon payments in a short-term transaction or to conceal the true burden of financing, and
- failing to disclose the true costs and risks associated with a loan.
A court will consider all of the circumstances of the transaction to determine whether the situation, taken as a whole, constitutes predatory lending. If a court determines that a loan was predatory, it could order the lender to modify the terms of the loan or cancel the debt, or take any other equitable action.
When to Hire an Attorney
Unfair lending practices often ultimately cause a borrower to default on mortgage payments, which in turn generally leads to a foreclosure. The unfair lending practices mentioned in this article represent just a few of the offenses that lenders have been known to commit. There are, of course, others. If you have been the victim of unfair lending practices and are facing foreclosure, you should speak to a qualified attorney who can advise you about what to do in your circumstances.

We are almost at the end of the fantasy football season, but before you start shedding tears, just know that there is still business to be taken care of, and you need updates on all the injuries to your players before you can rest easy.
Rest assured that you will be taken care of here because we don't want you panicking before the games even get started.
Without a doubt, the biggest name on the injury report this week is Adrian Peterson. He is the best fantasy running back and has had to miss the last three games with a sprained ankle.
The good news is that he will be back in the lineup this week against New Orleans. The bad news is that the team could limit his workload, at least compared to the way he is normally used, and that will affect the yards and touchdowns that he is able to get.
But the fact that he is back has fantasy owners everywhere breathing easier.
Another name on the injury report is Ben Roethlisberger. He did start practicing late in the week, but is still listed as questionable for the Steelers' game against the 49ers.
That game doesn't happen until Monday night, so he gets an extra 24 hours to rest and heal up. He always seems to suffer some kind of injury late in the season, but always plays, and more often than not ends up playing well.
While it would be easy for anyone to worry with two big names like Peterson and Roethlisberger on the injury report, if you have enough depth and trust your other starters, you should be fine.
Knowing many fantasy players, I have to say that calm and rational are two things that don't describe any of them this time of year.
We will have the latest news, notes and information on all the injuries that you need to pay attention to as you fill out your starting lineup for the penultimate week in fantasy football.

The World: The Atlantic Slave Trade; On Both Sides, Reason for Remorse
By HOWARD W. FRENCH
Published: April 5, 1998
ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast— FROM the moment the White House announced that President Clinton would stop at Senegal's Goree Island, one of this continent's most famous monuments to the Atlantic slave trade, a polemic was re-launched in the United States and in much of Africa over how and indeed whether Mr. Clinton should apologize for the centuries-long capture and sale into bondage of millions of Africans.
For some, the very idea of an apology was offensive. Weren't Africans engaging in slavery themselves well before the first Europeans came and carried off their first human cargoes? Didn't African chiefs themselves conduct razzias, or slaving raids, on neighboring tribes and march their harvest to the shores for sale?
For others, though, the Atlantic trade in Africans was one of the greatest crimes humanity has known, and remains one that has never been properly acknowledged. ''The Holocaust was certainly a great tragedy, but it only lasted a few short years,'' said Joseph Ndiaye, the curator of the Maison des Esclaves, the featured stop on Mr. Clinton's trip to Goree. ''We never stop hearing about the Holocaust, but how often do we dwell on the tragedy that took place here over 350 years; a tragedy that consumed tens of millions of lives?''
In the end, an appropriately solemn Mr. Clinton stopped short of an outright apology for America's part in the slave trade, finding other ways to express his regret as he focused on the future. That Mr. Clinton so artfully chose to sidestep African slavery's long history should have come as no surprise to anyone familiar with its cruel and complicated details. Even today, few subjects are so prone to passionate disagreement. As ever, people from each leg of the triangular Atlantic trade -- Europe, Africa and the Americas -- still use the slave experience as a vacant screen upon which they project their own misperceptions and justifications.
The Colonial View
In the United States, the conservative columnist Patrick Buchanan recently echoed a sentiment heard often from whites who resent attempts to make them feel guilty for slavery: ''When Europeans arrived in sub-Saharan Africa, the inhabitants had no machinery and no written language. When the Europeans departed, most of them by 1960, they left behind power stations, telephones, telegraphs, railroads, mines, plantations, schools, a civil service, a police force and a treasury.''
Even disregarding the wildly benign view of Europe's colonial legacy, many historians say Mr. Buchanan's assumptions -- of a savage continent being blessed with the gift of European civilization -- are as erroneous as they are widespread. Early European travelers to West Africa, in fact, found societies that by many measures, from commonly available technology to general living standards, were not so different from home.
''The smelting of iron and steel in West Africa was similar to that in Europe in the 13th century, before the advent of power driven by the water wheel,'' wrote Hugh Thomas, the author of ''The Slave Trade'' (Simon & Schuster, 1997). ''Senegambia had iron and copper industries, and the quality of African steel approached that of Toledo before the 15th century.''
It would be dishonest to lay all of Africa's subsequent problems on the slave trade. But most experts do not doubt that the forces unleashed by Europe's demand for slaves, gold and other African goods radically destabilized societies that were embarking on their own path toward development, and laid waste to whole regions of this continent. ''The discussion of how Africa became what it did subsequent to 1500 very quickly becomes an argument over what the slave trade did to the continent,'' said John Reader, a fellow of the British Royal Anthropological Institute and author of ''Africa, a Biography of the Continent.'' ''Africa clearly would not have had an easy time even if there had not been an Atlantic slave trade,'' he wrote. ''But one can easily imagine entirely different trajectories for the continent.''
A cold look at the nature of the Atlantic slave trade makes it very difficult to overstate its impact.
Until recently, Africa's economic development has always been hindered by low population densities. Africa's population in 1500 has been estimated by some at 47 million. Over the next 350 years, between 10 and 15 million Africans were landed in chains in the New World, and 4 to 6 million more are thought to have died during their capture or the Atlantic crossing -- a total of between 14 and 21 million people. History has seen few social disruptions on that scale.
In the end, however, many specialists in African history consider the process by which slavery worked to be as destructive as the sheer numbers involved.
Few African slaves were enchained by Europeans themselves. Instead, massive slave raids, huge marches of captives from inland areas and continuous rivalries between coastal kingdoms and local ethnic groups were driven by demand for Europe's coveted goods -- cloth and candles, grain, horses, spiced wine, pots and pans.

However, I remembered the website saying that if I signed up for a 30 day trial with ShoppingEssentials.com, I would receive a $10 dollar cash-back rebate. I skipped it, but still received a $10 dollar certificate.
I googled the shoppingessentials.com-restaurant.com affiliation, and found many results consisting of allegations of fraudulent activity. This got me worried because I did not want my debit card being charged $14.95 a month after the 30 days passed.
So, I was wondering, if anyone else has been cheated by this, and did they get their $10 in the form of a certificate, or if the $10 was just put back on their credit card or debit card.
Thank you.
p.s. I called today and they said I wasn't listed as a member, which is an encouraging sign, but from what I hear you can't trust these people at all. Please help.

I have a Sony Bloggie MHS-TS20 and Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 11.0. My computer shutdown unexpectedly while I was editing. When i rebooted and opened my Vegas project I got a message that one of my videos was missing. I searched my Bloggie library and found that the .mp4 file was missing and an .mp4.tmp file was in its place. The .mp4.tmp file appears to be raw data; it's 46.0 GB.Is there a converter that will change it back to an .mp4, or any other video format that I can edit in Vegas?
edited {1}
The .tmp file is a temporary file that may have been left behind by the Vegas Movie Studio software. You may have to contact our Sony Creative Software Team for more information regarding the recovery of the lost project / video.
I would recommend that you recover the missing video from the Bloggie camera itself. You may contact Sony Media Services for more information regarding the recovery of the file. There also may be file recovery services in your area that you can check out as well.

Well, well, well. Welcome to the world of Sherri Monae. I am the creator, owner and first author of MoRich Books. I wrote my first book at 12 and really wish it was something I held onto because I would have loved to see how my youthful mind wrote. After being teased about writing I decided to hide my talent until I realized I actually like, no love writing. So I picked back up where I left off in 1995 and have been on the grind working on the art ever since. I offer readers the first series of MoRich Books, the Divinity Series. It is a five book set taking readers on a journey through finding their divine purpose from the most unusual and unlikely circumstances.

Some of the most important civil, constitutional and immigrants' rights groups have filed suit to block the practice of "expediting" the deportation of undocumented women and their children. The federal government, the suit alleges, deprives them of their rights and endangers their lives by short-circuiting constitutional guarantees to due process.
The plaintiffs include the American Immigration Council, the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Immigration Project of the National Lawyers' Guild, and the National Immigration Law Center. Plaintiffs' attorneys are Van der Hout, Brigagliano and Nightingale, and Jenner and Block.
The suit comes at a moment when there is national debate, sometimes overheated, about some 63,000 unaccompanied and undocumented immigrant minors who have entered the United States since last October.
With midterm House, Senate and gubernatorial elections in November, Republican Party politicians are trying to take advantage of the situation by spreading scare stories and organizing "NIMBY" (not in my back yard) semi-riots here and there. The "Tea Party" is trying to revive its fortunes by reverting to anti-immigrant and anti-Latino hate speech to go after not only the Democrats, but their rivals within the Republican Party.
Differences have arisen among the Democrats. More progressive Democrats, and those who have many immigrants and Latinos in their districts, are emphasizing the need to defend the rights of minor children, and are criticizing any plan to speed up deportation of those children, who lately come mostly from the Central American countries of Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras. Other Democrats fear that this situation might cost them votes in November.
The Obama administration has meanwhile been hurrying up the deportation of undocumented immigrant families while also hinting that at the end of the summer, it will announce new programs to give undocumented families a break, perhaps by expanding the DACA (Delayed Action for Childhood Arrivals) program it started in late 2012, which to date has benefited over half a million "Dreamers" - young people brought into the country without papers when they were minors.
The urgency of this debate is illustrated from news stories from Central America. A morgue director in San Pedro Sula, the ultra-violent second city in Honduras, told the Los Angeles Times that this year between five and ten minor children who had been recently deported have been murdered by gangs in his city.
This jibes with statements by the young migrants and their families, as well as many organizations, including the U.N. High Commission for Refugees, which have been interviewing people in the area. But it collides with the statements of the Republican right in the United States, who deny that the phenomenon of the migrant children is a humanitarian crisis caused by situations of extreme violence in their countries of origin.
The efforts of the Obama administration to speed up the deportation of undocumented families also collide with the evidence about the families and children fleeing extreme violence. The administration warns that the journey north is dangerous, and says its policies are intended to warn people against trying it. But to "expedite" deportation means hurrying people, including minor s, to a situation of mortal danger.
The suit calls for an end to deportations from the Department of Homeland Security's family detention unit at Artesia, New Mexico, which the plaintiffs' brief describes as a "deportation mill".
Basing itself on numerous reports from families facing deportees and their volunteer lawyers, the brief describes how these families' rights to a fair hearing on their pleas to be allowed to stay in the United States are systematically undermined. Mothers who have fled with their small children from Central America because of threats of murder against those children and themselves are forced to give their testimony to DHS staff within the hearing of the children, causing them to withhold information that would terrify the children.
Likewise, lawyers have to converse with their clients in earshot of DHS officers, a violation of the norms of even the worst of civil or criminal courtrooms. Artesia is also far from any urban area, making it hard for attorneys or family to keep in contact. Things move at such a pace that neither the detainees nor their lawyers can keep up with important procedural dates. And some of the hearing officers appear to be incompetent or bigoted.
The plaintiffs' press release quotes Melissa Crow, legal director of the American Immigration Council: "Fast-tracking the deportations of women and children from immigration detention is an assault on due process. There is no way that justice can be served when so many people are being rushed through the system without any real opportunity to assert claims of relief. What we are seeing in Artesia is nothing less than a sham process that values expediency over justice".
