Class Action Lawsuit Forces Policy Change to Protect Detained Immigrants with Serious Mental Disabilities

LOS ANGELES – Class Counsel appointed by the United States District Court in the Franco v. Holder case today issued the following statement regarding the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Executive Office for Immigration Review's announcement of new policies for detainees with mental illnesses:
Today's two announcements by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") and the Executive Office for Immigration Review ("EOIR") are notable for the fact that these changes have only come on the eve of entry of Permanent Injunctive Relief in a lawsuit pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California entitled Franco v. Holder, 2:10-cv-02211. In that case, on March 22, 2013, United States District Court Judge Dolly Gee announced in a tentative opinion that she intended to enter a permanent injunction ordering extensive relief against ICE and EOIR related to their treatment of detained immigrants.
Northwest Immigrant Rights Project (NWIRP), the ACLU of Southern California, Public Counsel, Mental Health Advocacy Services, the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project and Sullivan & Cromwell LLP all represent the class of detained immigrants who have brought the Franco action.
"While these policy announcements must obviously be placed into context of the ongoing litigation, it is encouraging that finally all sides seem to acknowledge that persons with severe disabilities need legal representation to have any chance at a fair hearing, as well as other protections to avoid prolonged detention in these civil matters," said Matt Adams, with Northwest Immigrant Rights Project.
"It is a shame that ICE and EOIR are taking these moves only because of the threat of an immediate and permanent injunction against their mistreatment of detained immigrants," said Michael H. Steinberg of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, co-lead counsel. "For years, the government denied that there was any problem. It is only too bad that they acknowledge the problem just before the Court enters an injunction."
The two announcements also underscore the failure of ICE's and EOIR's current systems. As one example, the ICE policy memo acknowledges that facilities run by ICE still "have not yet begun" implementing basic screening procedures. Moreover, for non-ICE contract facilities where thousands of detainees are held, ICE has not even begun to develop procedures to identify detainees with mental disabilities.
"ICE's policy announcement contains stunning admissions about their failure to take actions for the past three years," said Talia Inlender of Public Counsel, one of class counsel. "The Government's announcement only underscores that they simply do not have the ability to identify those detainees suffering from serious mental illnesses, and their policy announcements only confirm the lack of protections in place for mentally ill detainees."
"After spending three years litigating against basic protections for immigrants with serious mental disabilities, the government has finally recognized that its prior policies were inadequate." said Judy Rabinovitz, deputy director of the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project. "These policy changes – even if implemented – do not go far enough to guarantee a right to appointed legal counsel for those who cannot represent themselves due to a serious mental illness."
"While we welcome the announcement that ICE and EOIR will develop policies to provide basic procedural protections to a class of vulnerable immigration detainees," said Hector Villagra, executive director of the ACLU of Southern California (ACLU/SC), "we are troubled that it took the threat of an imminent injunction for the government to even recognize that detainees with serious mental disabilities are being denied their basic rights. We are also troubled that even after several lead plaintiffs have won rulings from the district court establishing the right to legal representation, the best that ICE and EOIR can announce is their hope to implement procedures by the end of the year."

Kansas surgeon aids wounded at Boston Marathon
A general surgeon from north-central Kansas had just finished the Boston Marathon on Monday when he found himself pressed into service treating people injured in the explosions that detonated near the finish line.
Dr. Chris Rupe, who lives in Salina, estimated he was about 10 yards from where the first explosion went off about 30 seconds after he finished the race in a time of 4 hours, 4 minutes, 23 seconds, The Salina Journal reported.
Believing the sound came from a building or grandstand collapsing, Rupe hurried to see if he could help.
"Then I heard the second blast and ran the other way for a little bit, but then ran back to help some of the injured," he told the newspaper.
From there, officials directed him to a medical tent where physicians usually help runners with problems such as dehydration or exhaustion.
"Doctors are doctors, but I think they were glad to have someone who knows about treating wounds," Rupe said.
He spent about an hour in the tent, mainly treating people with injuries to their extremities. After that, most of the injured had been taken to hospitals.
"I'd just run 26 miles; I was starting to get tired," Rupe said. "There were a lot of great people who were there — there are a lot of good people in the world."
His wife — Dr. Abbey Rupe, a Salina pediatrician — finished the marathon about a half-hour before her husband and was already returning to their hotel when she heard a blast about a block from the marathon route.
"I heard one explosion, and no one knew what was happening," Abbey Rupe told The Journal. "I kept walking, and then there was a second boom, and people were running away — I ran with everyone else for about half a block."
Chris Rupe borrowed a cellphone from another doctor in the tent to message his wife that he was OK and helping the injured.

- Productive partner work.
- Focused independent work.
- Students engaged in the learning task at hand.
Sure I still have my 1 or 2 in each classes who do not do the work of watching the videos before class, but then again these would be the very same 1 or 2 in each class who did not do the homework when we assigned traditional homework. The students were so focused that they did not notice that I stepped out of the room to get their homeroom teacher and show her how incredibly "on" they were that afternoon.
I love the freedom of going from student to student and asking them questions about what they understood. I may ask them to explain how they came to the solution that they did. I may ask them a question regarding vocabulary learned in the video. I may ask them what still confused them about the lesson. I may make an adjustment to their assignment based upon what I observe. I now have the luxury of knowing my students better as mathematicians, than I did before I flipped.
Another surprising perk of flipping is that kids are making choices to challenge themselves more in my flipped classroom than when I taught traditionally. I think it may be the safety net afforded all kids in class to have their peers and me there to help them navigate the problems if they do run into an issue. In the traditional setting the kids would have chosen less challenging problems because they would have had to work through the problems themselves or with limited support from a parent at home.
Based on what I experienced this past week, I can't go back to the traditional way of teaching. Not when I can see how flipping allows higher engagement, inspires greater confidence, and builds better conceptual understanding.

Eugene and I received our engagement photos last week and I think I already looked through them 19 times. No joke - to say I am in love is an understatement. The week we scheduled our shoot, the weather was less than ideal... It snowed a couple days prior, temperatures dropped to 20 degrees, and clouds were gray for days straight. I was super bummed because I envisioned an outdoor photo shoot but literally while we were hiking up the hill, to our luck, the sun started to peek out and stayed for our entire session. It was amazing. Jaimee worked her magic around the piles of snow, and the photos turned out great.
This was Eugene and I's first formal photo shoot so we were pretty nervous, but Jaimee made us both feel so comfortable throughout the whole shoot and we had a blast. We will probably be taking photos now for every Christmas card to come (Oh, Eugene is going to be thrilled about that...) Check out part one below and I hope you enjoy! xoxo.
All photos are taken by the wonderful and talented Jaimee Morse.

We said goodbye to our dog Keyane this week. He was our first baby. He was the one who taught me what it was to be a mom. This is something I wrote nearly 10 years ago, and I'm happy to say I was finally right about something! We had an amazing 14 years together. My son is lucky our puppies had me well-trained in my mom role before he came along. I'm glad he got to spend a few years with them both.
Written on Mother's Day, 2009 – I have two Australian Shepherds that are my babies. A male and a female, both around five years old. I got the male first, as a puppy, and the female later as a 1-2 year old rescue. Between the two of them they have tried my patience to the end of earth but also shown me an unconditional Love and taught me what it means to love, care for another little being that completely depends on me and be responsible for their development and discipline. They have changed me in many ways and this list could be much longer. Whether we have non-fur babies or not, these two have always made me feel loved, proud and mostly, like a "mommy."
1) I have developed Super-Mom hearing. I can hear the faintest "gluck-gluck-gluck" noise in the middle of the night, wake up from a dead sleep and rush to help the vomiting Dog and then clean it all up before going back to bed.
2) I am now used to dealing with poop up close and personal on a daily basis. My dogs have a long "skirt" of hair on their back ends. I have had to hose off and wipe many bottoms. I just hope I never have to pull floss out of the baby's butt or find a stick to pluck off a dingleberry in the middle of a walk.
3) I have discovered my "mother voice." It's much louder and more authoritative than my usual voice. This voice means business! You better sit! On the other end is the "mommy voice" which is very sweet and cooing.
4) I have developed a complete disregard for my own safety when their life is at stake. I have jumped in front of a speeding car waving my arms like an idiot because the dog ran into the street. When the boy stuck his head in a pile of fire ants, I used my hands to wipe them off his face all the while getting stung myself.
5) I learned you can't take you eyes off them for a minute. The aforementioned fire ant incident took place on a walk. The boy was just a pup, nosing around, getting into everything. I turned my head to stare at something across the street, turned back around and he looked up at me with a face just alive with red squirming ants. They were in his eyes, his mouth and starting to crawl down his head. I got every single one of those awful things off of him and smothered him with kisses.
6) I have learned to temper my anger. I don't believe in beating animals to make them mind. When the little girl went through bad separation anxiety after my husband was deployed, we worked through the wave of destruction that followed.
7) I learned how to be a disciplinarian and a teacher. I took both dogs to obedience class and we practiced at home. Both were the stars of the class because I spent a lot of time working with them. People often remark on how our boy is better behaved than their children. Our little girl, being a rescue, is still a little wild.
8) If you have a boy, you can't be scared of a little penis. I had the boy about a week when we went for a walk in the woods. He ended up getting absolutely covered in ticks. I thought I got them all off until later I saw he seemed to be chewing on his crotch area. When he rolled over, I saw it. He had a tick. It was on his tiny puppy penis. I was impressed how trusting he was as I gripped the little appendage with one hand while going at it with tweezers. I think we grew a little closer that day.
9) Things will get messed up, get over it. I've had my favorite shirts and shoes destroyed. We had to get a new rug after a bad bout of stomach issues. Our nice suede couch is covered in hair and dog snot. In comparison to what the dogs give us in love and bring us in happiness, it's nothing.
10) A house feels more like a home when it is filled with love. I'm pretty sure coming home to happy little kids is a great thing. I've never seen two more happy kids than those furry faces that lose their minds every time I come home. Even if I'm only gone five minutes. They make me smile, they make me happy and I think they will be a great big brother and big sister when the time comes. (* and they were)

The Paper Skin
Back Download
Fedrigoni's "Constellation Jade" is a packaging paper with extraordinary material properties, surviving heavy abrasion, withstanding extreme temperatures and resisting aggressive liquids. To exhibit these characteristics, a sample book was designed in the guise of an upmarket Leica X2 packaging. Furthermore, a limited edition was created by committing a true design sacrilege: Leica's iconic black leather camera body covering was officially replaced with the shimmering mother-of-pearl "Constellation Jade" becoming an integral part of the product. In doing so, the paper that usually serves as the second skin in the form of packaging becomes the first skin and part of the product. A subtle design idea thus turned a luxury brand into an ambassador for a low-interest product. The camera comes in an exclusive box made entirely of paper which looks like a paper sample book with only the camera lens being visible at first, wrapped in 15 layers of high-quality design paper in premium tones of silver, grey and brown. Unpacking the camera thus turns into an extraordinary brand experience.
Statement by the Jury
For "The Paper Skin", two premium brands came together to realise a highly unusual project: the traditional leather camera body covering of a Leica camera was replaced by an exclusive, extremely durable paper. Wrapped up in an exquisite, handmade box, the two brands present their commitment to highest quality in a convincing manner.

A temper tantrum is the outward expression of inner turmoil. It is therefore non-productive to take that outer expression at face value. Often the child directs the turmoil at a misperceived outer object – you, for instance, or another child touching his toy – not knowing why he or she is really angry.
The first thing to do is to give him space to calm down and come to terms with his feelings (the traditional time out). Do it in a non-punitive way by saying, "Go to your room". Or use the traditional standby, the water therapy bath with chamomile or lavender flowers tied in a cotton sock and hung on the running tap. You can then ask, "What is really bothering you? If you tell me about it, perhaps I can help".
Children learn most by example. It is your example of not engaging the superficial that trains them to live a spiritual life of depth. You cannot react in anger and then expect them to masterfully respond to life's circumstances. When you feel yourself slipping into frustration and anger, take 'time out' yourself before you respond. A bath works wonders for grownups too!

Merkel says 3b euro EU aid for Turkey in discussion
[BRUSSELS] European Union states are considering financial aid to Turkey of some 3 billion euros to help it keep Syrian refugees on its soil and discourage them from pouring into Europe, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Friday.
Speaking after an EU summit which discussed cooperation with Ankara, Dr Merkel said the leaders had agreed to revitalise Turkey's EU accession process and open new negotiating chapters without deciding which ones.
Since Turkey had already spent more than 7 billion euros on accommodating more than two million Syrian refugees and received only 1 billion euros in external aid, it made sense for the EU to make an equivalent contribution in the coming years, she said.
But no sum had been fixed and much would depend on the sequencing of practical steps on both sides.

Underwater hunt for the ancient mariner
Foley, a marine archaeologist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts, and his colleagues at Greece's Ephorate of Underwater Antiquities in Athens have spent the day diving near the cliffs of the tiny island of Dia in the eastern Mediterranean. They have identified two clusters of pottery dating from the first century BC and fifth century AD. Together with other remains that the team has discovered on the island's submerged slopes, the pots reveal that for centuries Greek, Roman and Byzantine traders used Dia as a refuge during storms, when they couldn't safely reach Crete.
It is a nice archaeological discovery, but Foley was hoping for something much older. His four-week survey of the waters around Crete last October is part of a long-term effort to catalogue large numbers of ancient shipwrecks in the Aegean Sea. And the grand prize would be a wreck from one of the most influential and enigmatic cultures of the ancient world — the Minoans, who ruled these seas more than 3,000 years ago.
Some researchers believe that quest to be close to impossible. But Foley and a few competitors are using high-tech approaches such as autonomous robots and new search strategies that they say have a good chance of locating the most ancient of shipwrecks. If they succeed, they could transform archaeologists' understanding of a crucial period in human history, when ancient mariners first ventured long distances across the sea.
Archaeologists have precious little information about the seagoing habits of the Minoan civilization, which erected the palace of Knossos on Crete — linked to the Greek myth of the Minotaur. Minoans far exceeded their neighbours in weaponry, literacy and art, and formed "part of the roots of what went on to become European civilization", says Don Evely, an archaeologist at the British School at Athens, and curator of Knossos. Archaeologists are keen to understand what made the Minoans so successful and how they interacted with nearby cultures such as the Egyptians.
Although researchers have studied scores of Roman ships, finding a much older Minoan wreck "would add 100% new knowledge", says Shelley Wachsmann, an expert in ancient seafaring at Texas A&M University in College Station.
Underwater treasure
A Bronze Age wreck called Ulu Burun shows how the remains of a single ship can transform archaeologists' understanding of an era. Discovered in 1982, it lies about 9 kilometres southeast of Kaş in southern Turkey, and dates from around 1300 BC, a century or two after the Minoans disappeared.
Christos Agourides, secretary-general of the Hellenic Institute of Marine Archaeology in Athens, describes it as "the dream of every marine archaeologist". It took ten years to excavate, and researchers are still studying the nearly 17 tonnes of treasures recovered. The vast cargo includes ebony, ivory, ostrich eggs, resin, spices, weapons, jewellery and textiles as well as ingots of copper, tin and glass.
But what really stunned archaeologists was that the artefacts on this one vessel came from at least 11 different cultures — from a gold scarab bearing the name of the Egyptian queen Nefertiti to copper from Cyprus and tin from central Asia.
The wreck provided tangible evidence of an astonishing array of contacts and trade between the different cultures of the Mediterranean and Near East in the late Bronze Age. The Ulu Burun ship sailed at around the time that Tutankhamun ruled Egypt, and "it is far more important than Tutankhamun's tomb as a contribution to our understanding of the period", according to Wachsmann. "This goes to the nitty gritty of the world. It's Wall Street in a ship."
The earlier Minoans set the stage for such a widespread trading network through their domination of the eastern Mediterranean. Their seafaring abilities were still celebrated 1,000 years later by Greek historian Thucydides, who credited the Minoans with building the world's first navy and ridding the seas of pirates. Although other contemporary Mediterranean cultures were starting to travel across the sea, the Minoans ventured farther than others, reaching distant ports in Syria, Cyprus, the Cyclades and Egypt (see map). Wachsmann describes them as the "Christopher Columbuses of the Bronze Age".
Researchers have already found one potential Minoan wreck site by the island of Pseira, off the northeast coast of Crete. In 2003, archaeologist Elpida Hatzidaki of the Ephorate of Underwater Antiquities discovered a large collection of underwater pottery dating to around 1800 BC.
But at this site and a few even older ones, no portion of the ship itself survives, and it is hard to determine whether the pottery came from a wreck, was simply thrown overboard, or washed into the sea from the nearby coast. Even those who believe the Pseira site does represent a Minoan wreck admit that the pottery itself — everyday ware of local origin — doesn't reveal much new information. What archaeologists crave is an equivalent of Ulu Burun, a long-distance trading ship packed with valuable cargo that would reveal how different cultures interacted. "Ships were the way that people communicated and moved about the ancient world," says Foley. "So if we can find these ancient wrecks, we get a much clearer view of the very dim past."
That dream lured Foley and his team to Crete last year, and they brought a new tool that they hope will significantly raise the chances of finding an ancient shipwreck. In the past, archaeologists have explored the sea floor using divers and, more recently, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) that are controlled by pilots on ship. Foley's team tested an autonomous diving robot that could search the ocean bottom for hours under its own command. The REMUS 100 vehicle (for Remote Environmental Monitoring Underwater System) is equipped with Global Positioning System technology, side-scan sonar and a video camera. The Woods Hole researchers worked on the project with Greek archaeologists led by Theotokis Theodoulou of the Ephorate of Underwater Antiquities.
Robot rovers
The torpedo-shaped robot, nicknamed Gudgeon after a Second World War submarine, spent the first month of the field campaign surveying the entire sea floor north of Crete's main harbour, Heraklion, for any lumps and bumps that might signal an ancient wreck.

So Foley's team moved its search to Dia, which lies just north of Heraklion. In 1976, the ocean explorer Jacques Cousteau found some ancient remains there, and Foley suspected that Dia might be a fertile site for shipwrecks because its steep cliffs could be lethal to vessels caught in a storm.
The team took a two-pronged approach to exploring around Dia. The Gudgeon crew prowled Dia's bays, where the ocean bottom is smooth and artefacts are more likely to show up in sonar images. Near shore, where the bottom is too rocky for Gudgeon, Foley and his team of divers made a circuit of the bays at about 40 metres depth.
Almost immediately, the divers located five ancient wrecks, ranging from around the second century BC to the ninth century AD. The discoveries confirmed Cousteau's impression that now-deserted Dia was used for centuries as an anchorage. And Foley was convinced that the Minoans must have been here too, with the evidence perhaps on the deeper floor of Dia's bays. But Gudgeon's sonar images from those sites kept coming back disappointingly clear.
On the penultimate day of the field season, Greg Packard and Mark Dennett of Woods Hole stood on the stern of their small research vessel, and swung Gudgeon overboard. The miniature explorer descended to the bottom and spent the morning cruising back and forth along preprogrammed gridlines. Later that evening, when Packard examined the sonar data, he spied a potential target — a patch of bright speckles amid the smooth dark image. The team debated whether it could be a heap of pottery on the sand.
The next day, Foley took his crew of divers out to the suspect site. Some 15 minutes later, they came back with disheartening news: the sonar signal was a collection of plastic water bottles that must have been dumped overboard from a modern boat. And footage from Gudgeon's video camera explained the absence of archaeological remains — furrows in the sand showed that trawlers had cleaned out even these tiny bays. If a Minoan ship ever sank here, it has long since been destroyed. "It's such a waste," says Foley, clearly disappointed. "I bet they're not even trawling for fish. I bet they're trawling for antiquities."
Diving deeper
Wachsmann says that he isn't surprised by what Foley saw. From 2007 to 2009, he led the Danaos project, using sonar-equipped ROVs to survey hundreds of square kilometres of sea floor on a suspected ancient trading route between Crete and Egypt. In three seasons, he didn't find a single ancient wreck from any period, and only a scattering of artefacts.

The effect of bottom trawling is "devastating" for archaeologists, agrees Robert Ballard, an oceanographer based at the University of Rhode Island in Narragansett, who has pioneered deep-sea exploration and discovered the wreck of the Titanic in 1985. "Most of the Aegean has been destroyed," he says.
Ballard has spent years searching for ancient wrecks and says that he has learned the importance of finding areas beyond the reach of fishermen — below about 600 metres, say, or close to undersea cables, which trawlers avoid. He has also opened up his search area. Historians once assumed that the number of wrecks in the deep sea was negligible because ancient ships must have hugged the coastlines, but in the 1990s Ballard found eight ancient wrecks far from shore between the islands of Sicily and Sardinia (Foley was Ballard's graduate student at the time). "The ancient mariner was not afraid of going out to sea," says Ballard.
Since 2008, Ballard has been exploring the eastern Mediterranean, the Aegean and the Black Sea with a suite of ROVs. Although he is finding large numbers of ancient wrecks, he hasn't yet uncovered anything from the Bronze Age. But, like Foley, he believes Minoan ships are waiting to be discovered. The key to finding the oldest wrecks, he says, is locating "relic surfaces" that have escaped being buried by sediment, which flows downhill and covers the deep sea floor. "What you want is a shipwreck that came down on a mountain," he says, because sediment can't accumulate on a steep slope.
Last year, Ballard investigated the Eratosthenes seamount, a 700-metre-deep tabletop south of Cyprus, and says it does indeed seem to represent a relic surface. He is now applying for permits to return to Eratosthenes to search for shipwrecks next year. Another area he would like to investigate is the submerged Anaximander mountains south of Turkey. It would be difficult to distinguish a wreck site from such rocky terrain using sonar, so he plans to use video cameras to conduct a painstaking visual search over smaller areas. "It's very hard hunting," he says.
Foley is also now looking to the deep sea, but has a different strategy. Instead of targeting particular sweet spots, he wants to cover as large an area as possible. He has raised more than US$1 million towards the $1.8 million that he needs to return to the Mediterranean next year, this time with two of Gudgeon's more powerful cousins, REMUS 6000s owned by the Waitt Institute in La Jolla, California.
To maximize the chances of finding ancient wrecks, the team will hunt on open, flat areas in the lowest reaches of the sea, up to 6,000 metres deep. Foley estimates that the two REMUS vehicles can cover up to 5,000 square kilometres in one month, equivalent to 1% of the entire Aegean Sea. The recent field trial around Dia encouraged Foley because it should be easier for the sonar surveys to pick out vases than it was to find plastic water bottles, which are poor sonar reflectors, he says.
Both Ballard and Foley are ultimately hoping to use their surveys to catalogue large numbers of wrecks of all ages across great swathes of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. Through a combination of sonar and high-resolution digital photography, they can compile detailed three-dimensional maps of a wreck site and answer questions about the date, origin and cargo of a ship without bringing up a single artefact.
Foley estimates that hundreds of thousands of ships must have sunk in ancient times — including thousands in the Bronze Age alone — and that a significant proportion of those are still sitting at the bottom of the deep sea. If he's right, then perhaps researchers will eventually have not just one Minoan ship, but hundreds. With enough wrecks, says Foley, "it ought to allow us to draw new conclusions about this absolutely formative period in human experience."
That could shift marine archaeologists into an era in which they can use statistical data gathered from hundreds or thousands of wrecks to build up a bigger picture of trade routes, migration and warfare throughout history. "We'd rather find 500 ships than excavate one," says Ballard.
Such a dream seems a long way off as Foley's team packs up its gear at the end of its campaign. Packard and Dennett carefully lower Gudgeon into a crate for its long trip back to Woods Hole, while Foley eyes one of the artefacts he retrieved from Dia's waters — a bulbous Byzantine amphora covered in deposits left by worms.
It's not the find Foley hoped for, but he is undaunted — this is just the beginning of what he knows could be a long search. "I'd like to be doing this every year for the next 20 or 30 years," he says. "Until I'm too old to go to sea."

SafeOp Surgical, Inc. was formed in 2011 to fill the need for focused cost effective neuro-monitoring and particularly for detection of peripheral nerve damage caused by nerve compression, ischemia or stretching during surgery. This injury may occur due to patient positioning (sometimes referred to as Positioning Effect) or surgical wound traction.
While many surgeries can benefit from neuromonitoring for detection of both peripheral and central nervous system injuries, it is typically restricted to surgeries of the head, neck, brain and spine . SafeOp's goal was to develop a simple, low cost and easy to use portable system that would allow caregivers to extend the benefits neuromonitoring outside these procedures and easily detect abnormalities in nervous system function including those due to positioning.
The result of years of development is the innovative EPAD device. The EPAD entered the market in late 2016.

Sorry, but that's just nonsense. Have you ever even read the amendment of the Constitution that applies to the separation of church and state?
No; that is not the claim. Have you even skimmed the amendment of the Constitution that applies to the separation of church and state?
LOL. If only there were logic to beat.
Reply to Message 585:
The 'founding Yankees' are irrelevant; your claims about their intentions are demonstrably false, but it wouldn't matter even if they were true: the Founding Fathers are dead and they don't matter.
You can say that again...
Huh? I don't even understand what this sentence means. As far as I know, there are no Constitutional prohibitions on ideas�period.
Of course it's not; neither the people nor their legislators can pass laws that violate standing amendments of the Constitution.

Sure as long you teach all the other "science", like how the stork brings new baby's to the house, how the tooth fairy buys your teeth at night, how you can cure all manner of diseases by prayer and so need no doctors ....... all this and more is the same as your ID or creationism you want to teach that then be prepared to teach this.

Sorry but that is patently and demonstrably false.
You create avoidance schools and avoidance text books and avoidance radio and TV stations and avoidance browsers and avoidance peer review boards and avoidance accreditation boards.
You do everything you can to avoid a search for truth because you think you already have it.

No teach in any public school is teaching that religion is false.
It bans creationism because teaching creationism has no secular purpose and entangles the government in religious matters. Please google "Lemon Test" for more information.
No, it isn't. Teaching evolution has a clear secular purpose. Also, the government is not teaching that evolution or an old Earth are contrary to religious beliefs. Creationists are the ones teaching this.
We can, and have.

I have established, with no rebuttal at all, that any investigation of the human mind against properties in the world is a scientific invwtigation. Can anyone demonstrate that that point is not reality. Why will no one touch that point. Point to the line that is counter factual to that simple point, if indeed it has been shown as you suggest
I have demonstrated that an examination of the physical properties in this connection and its complexity, is not only an investigation, but that it will demonstrate an unwavering complexiity of order to definate detail and purpose. point to the line or argument that can demonstrate these points and items are not science
I have demonstrated that these investigations lead inevitably to the conclusion of design, in the same way one comes to the conclusion, that the process of evolution would and might lead to lead to the conclusion of soley natural causes.
both are just conclusions and both use the natural world for thier conclusions. Only sheer idiocy would assume as to most evos that the origination source is not a part of the argument
Most evos try and cleverly exclude conclusion of evo (SNCs) as unnecessary, when in fact every position or argument concerning the natural world ofcourse would include one
Again for the very simple reasons , as i have stated them, ID can be nothing but Science.
just as there is no such thing as reverse prejudice, there is no such thing as religious creationism, only creationism by an intelligent designer. each of the respective positions reach thier conclusions, via, reason, experimentation, applied to the natural world, conclusions being the natural result
I never even suggested as much. Evolution does not affect nor is it in contrast to ID, since one could not demonstrate that things were not designed to evolve
Id has very little to do with religious perspectives. Id is a scientific, physical approach to reality

Dont mean to be rude dewise, but as usual i find little or nothing in an argument form in your post wherewith to respond. As usual its a collection of verbose, albeit educational info in the form of you hearing yourself speak. However this is a debate forum fo rthe most part
Ofcourse ID is not something different, how could it be when those are just terms. reality is a human using his brain against reality about the natural world to form conclusions, Duhhh, science
idiocy and blindness beyond belief. Its starts in the same arena as any investigation observation of the natural world, where both change and order exists, not causation as its premise. like evos conclusions, it is preceeded by examination of natural proceeses
You need to demonstrate that ID begins with causation, you cant just assert in a declaration. Let the person that thinks he can do this step forward and ill demonstrate he is an idiot
the rest of the quote is a waste of my and any other intelligent persons time. perhaps someone should be reconsidered for reelection
If this quote is an example of the truth you speak of, you are as informed as it is. Lawyers are notorious for complication and misdirection. if it is presented in its simplicity and accuracy it would not be missed. Oh that Dr Thomas B Warren were still with us. Ahhhhh the good ole days
Ruebel Shelly will you please come out of your shell.
You like quotes, correct dewise? Lincoln said, "it is better to keep you mouth shut and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt"
Dewise, an apologist is anyone trained in a field, to defend that position, religion or otherwise.
dewise, reality does not need peer reviewed literature. Id is a simple investigation of natural processes, like any other. all anyone needs to do to immediately halt ID, is to demonstrate that such an investigation is not an initial and sustained investigation. How would anyone accomplish such a feat. Observation, evaluation, expermintation and conclusions are science no matter who is doing it. ID is the conclusion, not the processes, which is a scientific investigation
this initial and sustained process (whoever, whenever and for whatever reason, ID or evos) is independant of your conclusions. you simpletons get conclusions mixed up with processes.

Just when i think you cannot make a sillier comment than, evo follows empericism and IDst follow rationalism, you do it
Taq anything happening in reality is a process, it doesnt need my approaval to be such
We measure them by thier abilty to accomplish, carryout and produce identifiable purposes. This order and obvious order and functionality does not need your approval to as such. its detectable and measurable, by anyone paying attention
The conclusions of ID or soley natural causes are independent of our scientific investigations on either position. You fellas mix up the conclusions of ID with the clearly scientific approach and call it a failure.
This is like leading children around the fair. Taq, order in organisms is measurable
Taq, ID and evo are not opposites, AS YOU ARE SUPPOSING and erroneously confusing. Evo (change) is an identifiable phemonenon. ID is a conclusion of the process and mechanism, of the same type you use, scientifc investigation, but not the process, that is carried out by investigation
Consistent and persistent complex behaviour can prove identifiable order in numerous organism, like change can prove complex change. Both of these are scientific investigation processes, neither are conclusions
Ill take you through just be patient, son Your still comparing oranges with apples. its not consistent change that you describe that would disprove evolution, it would be these processes that would need to disprove, these things as being a result of soley natural causes. Thats what you need to disprove using your own process
Your asking me to provide an example of the process that would disprove my conclusion, while using an example of your process to disprove your process, when you needed an example of it to disprove your conclusion, which, is soley natural causes.
In fact there is no example of your process or mine that we could provide to disprove either conclusion, not the process, which your are confusing with your conclusion
are you starting to see where you making your fundamental mistake?

text: Passport to Freedom The stories of Syrians, Iraqis and Egyptians emigrating and seeking dual nationality following the 2011 Arab Spring. 29 Mar 2017 08:41 GMT Politics, Humanitarian crises, US & Canada, Europe Filmmaker: Ahmed Abdelhady In Passport to Freedom, Arab nationals from Syria, Iraq, and Egypt describe what led them either to flee their country as refugees or go abroad to set up a new life - and, in the process, get dual nationality and a second passport. The 2011 revolutions sparked an increase in the numbers of emigrants, wanting to escape political instability and economic uncertainty in several Arab countries. "Emigration used to be a way of solving economic problems to achieve an end," explains Ayman Zohry, a population and migration expert at the American University of Cairo. "Now, it's become a desire to emigrate permanently and live abroad." Zohry notes that two years after the Arab Spring, there were "about 23 million Arabs living in countries other than their own." Not just revolution, but war has forced the Syrians to flee - but according to researcher Yaseer Shabani, a perceived lack of "social justice" has been the main cause of Iraqis and Egyptians going abroad. Around 2.3 million Egyptians emigrated in the year 2000, but this climbed to 3.46 million in 2013. Passports issued by many Arab countries are limited and don't allow you to move freely. Ayman Zohry, population and migration expert, AUC Similarly, in Iraq, from 2000 to 2001, the emigration figure was 1.15 million, but from 2013 to 2014, the number reached 2.32 million. "We are talking about extremely high, catastrophic figures [which] rob Arab societies of their young people," says Shabani. "It could be sectarian or because of a job, an invasion or a revolution. But they were all because of a lack of social justice and this is the result." Zohry suggests that the whole idea of a homeland has changed, rather than people's feelings towards their own countries. "The mechanisms of love for country and attachment to it have changed." Two Egyptians in the film have already emigrated and have new passports. Samah Sadek has moved to Canada and Reda elMasry to the former Soviet republic of Georgia. Egyptian journalist Ahmed el-Sheikh and rap artist Mohammed Shreif have suffered in different ways in post-revolution Egypt and want to leave for the West as soon as they get the chance. Author Samah Sadek had never considered leaving Egypt. "At first, I wasn't thinking about emigrating or leaving Egypt," says Sadek. "I never imagined I'd be living anywhere other than the country I love." However, "after the revolution and the events that followed, and incidents when people appeared in court and were rescued by their second nationality, I started to think it was important to have a different passport", she says. "With my Canadian passport, my value as a human being is greater. My Egyptian passport reduces my value." For installation technician Reda elMasry, the decision to leave Egypt for Georgia came down to the effect the revolution had on his business. He used to install surveillance systems for the government and the police. "I lost a lot of money," he says. "Every time I went there to complain, they said things weren't working, the equipment was destroyed. They said it was damaged after the revolution and refused to pay me." Forget I was ever an Iraqi: Passport to Freedom "I just got tired of it and thought about changing my nationality," he says, adding that he feels a greater sense of personal freedom in Georgia. Violence in Iraq drove hotel owner Khalaf Jassem to Georgia where he, too, has a new passport. "I'm not harassed as I was in Iraq because of my denomination, race, gender or religion. No one cares here." Hagy Farasdaq used to own a clothes factory in Iraq, but when he and his young daughter were beaten at a military checkpoint, he also decided to move to Georgia. "One day, I went to Baghdad to buy some merchandise and took my daughter with me. It's about 55km from Fallujah with eight security checkpoints. One of these is Al-Ghazalieh and it's the worst. They told me to get out of the car and I said I had to help my daughter out first. 'You're concerned about your daughter?' he said, and slapped her in the face," he recalls. Hagy was beaten and ended up with a dislocated shoulder and four broken ribs. "That's when I decided to forget about Iraq, my homeland," he says. "Many people say they'd never give up their nationality. But they should first ask what makes someone give it up." Syrian refugees Rana Ayoubi and her husband Mahmoud AlKurdi escaped to Turkey. Rana says she lived comfortably in Syria and was reluctant to move when fighting first broke out. But after losing her home and witnessing the devastation, "Syria was no longer a place for me," she says. As Syrians in Turkey, "it was very difficult for us to adapt and live in several ways," says Mahmoud, a tailor by trade. Without the necessary work permits, "I didn't have the right to do anything." For Syrian refugee Abdallah Hilal, Georgia was an attractive destination because it did not demand a visa for Syrians. Once registered with the immigration ministry, "I was allowed to live and work here." The factory owner proudly says, "I am very thankful to Georgia for not putting any obstacles to our residency here. Nobody asks us where we're going or where we're from or tells us we have to leave after a certain time." Hilal is still waiting for his Georgian passport. "The Arab world no longer accepts the Arab world. Arab citizens and political regimes in the Arab world no longer accept each other - so my passport doesn't allow me to travel to another Arab country. It's humiliating," says Ayman Zohry. What stands out in this film is the characters' determination to find a sense of purpose, freedom and identity in their adopted homes, and a deep desire to hold citizenship that is internationally recognised, allows freedom of travel, grants them basic human rights and gives them a renewed sense of self-worth.

Last week was a little spotty I know. It's T-minus 2 weeks to the wedding and my brain is a little mushy! These next two weeks will be a little less than normal.
On the bright side, there's a lot of great stuff coming up this week. So let's get to it!
To start the week, a review of Luthecker by Keith Domingue. This is a thriller that has captured my imagination and I'm still not even quite done! This might go up tomorrow or Tuesday depending on when I finish the book, but I'll be sure to let you know what I think!
Wednesday I'll be reviewing Three Parts Dead by Max Gladstone. So excited for this one! Steampunk to the max, and I just can't wait to devour it.
Thursday is another review, and this time of a ZOMBIE BOOK! Okay look, I love zombies. Those undead bastards make me smile. This book? Fabulous. Undead Reckoning will get my full fan girl review on this day.
To round out the review week, I'll be raving about Velveteen by Daniel Marks. Vengeance, purgatory, awesome characters. That's all you'll get from me until this day.
Finally, Saturday you'll be able to learn more about Mike Slabon! He's the author of that awesome book up there, Undead Reckoning and he'll be bringing along a giveaway as well! So keep your eyes peeled.
As always thanks for being a follower!
I promise things will be much more back on track after the wedding ;). Until then, much love for sticking with me!

Today's weather;
It's fairly cloudy over Koh Samui this monring but it may clear up a little bit during the afternoon. Current temp at 6.30am is 28C
Today I'm off diving at Sail Rock, before the strong winds take over next week and some of the boat trips may be forced to cancel their services temporarily.
Big Buddha overlooking the small island of Koh Fan where it stands, facing the main island of Koh Samui
Yesterday saw sunshine during the monring but clouds moved in during the afternoon and at some locations around the island it rained, albeit not on our part of the island, the North Eastern corner. Max temp still reached 34C, it felt very warm indeed.
The forecast is changing subtly with the predicted strong wind and rain moving back a day, every day. It is possible that this may continue and we won't have a stormy couple of days but at this moment I think it's not very likely, but you never know.
Right now heavy cloud layers will prevail for the next ten days but the strong wind is now not supposed to start until Monday and last until Thursday, accompanied with rain. After this stormy period, it should remain cloudy and windy with more rain to come.
Do 'like' my Koh Samui blog Facebook page and don't forget to use my Camille's Samui hotel recommendation blog and my Camille's Thailand hotel recommendation blog for all your hotel bookings on Koh Samui and around Thailand. By doing so, you will support my blog. Thanks folks!

Lee Min Jung on Acting After Marriage and Her New Drama "Cunning Single Lady"
Actress Lee Min Jung talked about what's different with acting after marriage, taking on her first drama since her marriage to actor Lee Byung Hun last August.
On February 24, she attended the press conference for MBC's "Cunning Single Lady" with co-stars Joo Sang Wook, Kim Gyu Ri, Seo Kang Joon, Hwang Bo Ra, L, etc. Here, Lee Min Jung, who plays the "cunning single lady," said, "In the past I played a lot of characters who break their engagement. This time, I play someone who's divorced. I believe that rather than dating stories, stories of marriage carry a much deeper emotion, with double the happiness or sadness. Because of that, I feel a little more affection for this drama."
She continued, "I hope the viewers of this drama get a chance to think a lot about marriage and divorce. Just as you have to hear both sides of the story when two people are getting divorced, please hear out both Jung Woo [Joo Sang Wook] and Ae Ra [Lee Min Jung] to the end."
On what has changed with acting since her marriage, she said, "If I had taken on a married woman's role before marriage, of course there would have been a lot of aspects unknown to me. I believe actors, when portraying what they've experienced, act with the most depth. Now that I'm married, I feel there are things that I can better tackle."
"Cunning Single Lady" is about a woman Na Ae Ra (Lee Min Jung) who does anything possible to woo her ex-husband Cha Jung Woo (Joo Sang Wook) and get him back, as he has become a successful businessman since their divorce. Kim Gyu Ri plays Cha Jung Woo's new girlfriend and partner, and Seo Kang Joon plays Guk Seung Hyun, who develops and interest in Na Ae Ra.
"Cunning Single Lady" will air its first two episodes back-to-back following the end of "Miss Korea" on February 27.

What Color to Paint a Small Bathroom to Make it Look Bigger
Design of minimalist bathroom is a concept of bathroom that is interested in many people nowadays. With using this concept, so as the bathroom would not use up many areas. But you should have the clearly concept when you design the bathroom. If you get a wrong to choose the concept, so as the bathroom atmosphere that you want could not be created.
Do you know if the bathroom with minimalist design could be combinated with the others. Usually, many people prefered the minimalist concept of bathroom. This concept is a combinating between bathroom concept in minimalist design and modern design. Although the modern concept of bathroom always to be identically with luxurious and spacious bathroom. But, in bit of improvisation of bathroom modern design could be combinated to minimalist design of the concept.
For creating minimalist design of bathroom actually it is not too difficult. You could start from the little things such as the layouting and lighting. Make it sure that the bathroom looked clean and regularly.
When making the minimalist bathroom, describe the right layout is the main point. Make some of layouts for your bathroom before you decide it. And using the mirror on the wall with big size. With using the mirror, your bathroom would seem more be spacious. Besides that, the mirror also could help the lighting because it would reflect the lamp lighting so as your bathroom would seem brightly.
Using the paint wall in white or soft color of painting wall. As you know, the white wall would make the small room is to be more spacious.You also could change some details of the bathroom that has seemed antiquated. For example you could change the faucet with the modern and minimalist style and using the modern flooring with simple motifs even with the unmotifly flooring. The light setting is one of the important factor for creating the minimalist bathroom. With the best light setting, the bathroom condition would be different of the others. Change your shower curtains with the glass door or acrylic. If you often hang the towel in bathroom, using the white towel. The bathroom would seem luxurious and like as in spa. And then using unique decoration as sufficient as we need. You could use the candle, orchid, or glass bowl that filled the gravels.

So first of all, I'd like to thank God for this:
It's a merit card. So yes, I have honor. Officially. I'd occasionally get honor technically and oh, how that sucked so much. I'd get what I worked hard for, only to be halted by a 'B'... It's like the world was telling me I'm not good enough so stop trying, you useless little girl. I'm incredibly happy I got this, it definitely shot my confidence way up.
This was also a confidence booster:
I was one of the few out of approximately 70 applicants (according to my source, unreliable though, hohoho sorry) who got accepted as a model for the Xavier Variety Show. A lot of people congratulated me because I was one of the few students in my school who was accepted and the only one in my batch (I know, it's crazy!) This year, the theme is #shifthappens and how coincidental it is to my thoughts (i've been... "bv" the whole of 2012 except for May & the Christmas break). #ShiftHappens generally means that change happens, it's mandatory for change to occur in our lives and so we should just accept it. The name is also quite amusing, I mean, twitter is full of those negative hashtags (ie. #FML, #KMN, #BV) and one of them is: #ShitHappens. It actually has the same meaning as #ShiftHappens but it's just placed in a negative light, I'm glad someone finally thought of this idea to promote positive 'vibes'.
I'd like to share this video too!
It's me and some of my classmates doing the 'Cup Song' from Pitch Perfect (if you don't know the song, you're probably living under a rock and so if you are Patrick Starfish, click this). We just did this for fun at first because we were so amazed at how Anna Kendrick did this. We borrowed our fellow classmate's pencil case (which was cylindrical). When I told them I had Speed Stacks, I brought it and we started playing it together. It was so spontaneous that we wanted to perform it! Thank God that there was an English Speechfest and they needed someone to form so voila! This video is the day of the performance and I just felt so much bliss in me.
I know I said I hated this week on my twitter but then, I was blinded because my life is already full of blessings I didn't see how amazing this week actually was. I just hope people can open their eyes too like I did. Have a happy weekend!

"I believe in people's ability to learn about themselves."
That is why I have produced over 460 Half Hour television programs over the last 30 years on subject that are designed to help you.
Click HERE to go to my YouTube Channel directly or click on the "Through the Looking Glass Program" section to the right.
I help them discover the critical connections between their past and present, their core beliefs, the impossible expectations of their imaginary perfect self - who is now their harshest "inner critic" - responsible for all the "shoulda, woulda, coulda's," that restrict their freedom to be who they really are! Having guided folks through this process for 25 years, I KNOW that it is possible for people to come to understand themselves deeply enough, feel ALL their real feelings, and come to love themselves for who they really are!
Childhood contains the blueprint for our current beliefs and conflicts. Early abuse, abandonment and chaos does not have to imprison you in the present! I'll support and guide you gently towards a special understanding that dissolves difficulties, and offers you a peaceful, self-loving state of mind.
I have shared what I know with others in many ways. I list them in my new website: drginnyklein.com.
There are my books , TV shows, seminars and professional trainings. Let's talk!

Whether we love it or hate it, Internet shopping is convenient, provides a wide choice and competitive prices. Internet shopping is a big time-saver. As mentioned above, Internet shopping is very much like conventional in-home shopping from catalogs or mail orders. Despite the toughening competition, Internet shopping is likely to continue to grow.

Rovers frustrated in front of goal once more.
Henning Berg was once again left to rue missed chances as Rovers lost 1-0 to Middlesbrough at the Riverside.
Lukas Jutkiewicz's strike on 68 minutes proved to be the difference between the two sides on a frustrating afternoon for Rovers in front of goal.
"Today in terms of performance we did okay," said the Rovers boss after the game.
"We are playing away against a good team, they don't have many chances, we have some very very good chances but we don't score the goals to win the game.
"They score with one of the few chances they had. They had two or three good chances but most were efforts from outside the box or from crosses. They didn't produce many good chances.
"So of course we are disappointed with the result, that is the main thing at the moment, there is no doubt about that.
"Again this was another game that we really shouldn't have lost looking at the chances that we had."

Blackhawks look to stay historically hot on road vs. Wild
After an unsuccessful return home, the Chicago Blackhawks head back to the road looking for a piece of franchise history.
The Blackhawks can follow their first loss in two weeks by matching the nearly half-century-old club record for consecutive road wins as they face the Minnesota Wild on Thursday night.
Chicago's annual road trip while the circus takes over the United Center lasted seven games and 12 days but ended with six victories in a row. The club also won six straight away from home during its record-setting 24-game point streak to open last season, but the only longer road win streak in franchise history was a seven-game run Dec. 9-24, 1964.
This stretch of six consecutive road victories has seen the Blackhawks allow just 10 goals, but their defense was sloppy Tuesday against Dallas in their first home game since Nov. 19. They fell into a three-goal deficit before tying the game in an eight-minute span of the second period, but they lost 4-3 on a penalty shot in the third.
"It's nice to be home from that long road trip, but sometimes there's a letdown, and you can't let that happen," defenseman Duncan Keith said. "We were guilty of that."
The Blackhawks (20-5-4) have scored a league-high 51 goals away from home and Patrick Kane has 10 of them, including four in the team's last four road games. Kane, who has 16 goals overall, has four points in two games after having his 12-game point streak snapped Friday at Dallas.
Kane has scored in both meetings this season with the Wild, a home-and-home set that ended with Chicago's 5-1 win in Minnesota on Oct. 28. The Blackhawks are 7-0-3 in their last 10 games at Xcel Energy Center.
"Everybody knows that they're a world-class team, if not the best team in the world," Wild goaltender Josh Harding said of the defending Stanley Cup champions. "We're gonna worry about ourselves."
Harding missed both October meetings with a lower-body injury, so having him in net could make all the difference for Minnesota (16-8-5). He has a league-low 1.45 goals-against average, not allowing more than three goals in any of his 22 appearances.
Plus, he's 3-0-0 with a 1.15 goals-against average in four home games against Chicago. He's surrendered just 13 goals at home this season while going 11-1-0, though he wasn't sure how to explain that success.
"My fiance maybe cooks a good meal," Harding joked.
His latest home win came in the team's most recent game Monday, turning away 21 shots in a 2-0 victory over Philadelphia.
Jason Pominville and Charlie Coyle scored third-period goals to provide the difference.
"We'd been giving up the first goal so many times lately," coach Mike Yeo said. "I figure if we're not going to score it, don't let them."
Pominville scored his first goal in six games and leads the team this season with 14, including three against the Blackhawks.
Chicago goalie Corey Crawford started both meetings, including a season high for goals allowed in a 5-1 home loss Oct. 26. However, he's 2-0-2 with a 1.44 GAA in Minnesota.
