While serving overseas, members of the military are surrounded by a band of brothers and sisters who share a common bond forged from the unique conflicts they must confront.
Now Frederick Community College hopes to give them a similar opportunity, as the school prepares to open a new Veterans Services center.
The center, which is scheduled to open in mid-May, will provide a place where veterans, active duty or National Guard members can come when they are on campus, said Rachel Nachlas, college coordinator of veteran services.
In February, the college board of trustees approved a bid for a $200,000 project to renovate several buildings on campus to shift offices around and make room for several more, including the new veterans facility.
When they are serving, veterans are used to being around other military members and people who have had similar experiences as them, Nachlas said.
"Then they get [to college], and it can be somewhat isolating," she said.
Nachlas said FCC has more than 200 veterans on campus, and they are seeing more each semester as soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who have served in Iraq or Afghanistan use government benefits to attend classes.
Veterans can often have some of their military training translated into college credit, especially if their schoolwork relates to their military duties, Nachlas said.
Some are also dealing with the lingering effects of combat, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, traumatic brain injury or other challenges, she said.
But many of the veterans also bring valuable leadership experiences and organizational skills to the campus, and they take their education very seriously, she said.
It's sometimes difficult for veterans to feel the "grounded structure" they are used to in the military when on a campus geared toward traditional students just out of high school, said Meisha Krutar, 30, of Frederick who served more than 12 years in the U.S. Navy including the initial invasion of Iraq in 2003.
She now serves as president of the campus veterans club, which she said has about 20 active members.
The center will provide a place for veterans to study, have walk-in counseling appointments and other services, as well as just hang out and "just be vets," she said.
"The fact that we're finally getting something we can call our own ... is fantastic," Krutar said.
Corey Ferretti, 28, of Frederick said the center would provide veterans such as himself a place where they can relax and meet.
Ferretti, who spent 10 years in the Navy, including a tour of duty in Iraq, before being discharged in October 2012, said it's hard for him to be in crowds or around large groups of people he doesn't know.
He's much more comfortable around fellow veterans or members of the military who have had similar experiences, Ferrett said.
Adjusting to being on campus around younger students can be a "massive culture shock" for veterans used to the structure and discipline of the military, Ferrett said.
Ferrett said he has become friends with a former infantryman in one of his math classes, and they sometimes roll their eyes at students who show up late for a 12:30 p.m. class.
In the military, you're usually trained to work as a group to accomplish an objective and being in the individual world of a college campus can be confusing, said U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Carlos Turcios, 26, of Frederick, who did tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and is still serving in the National Guard.
He's getting an associate degree in general studies from FCC and plans to get a bachelor's degree from a four-year college.
Along with being used to the military world, veterans often have a house, a family or other responsibilities that the typical student just out of high school doesn't, Turcios said.
It will be much easier for FCC's veteran students when they can have a dedicated place where they can come to get advice or just laugh and trade war stories, he said.
Turcios said he thinks the center will also provide veterans with "a better place to network" on campus.
FCC is "leading the way" as one of six community colleges and public universities around the state with both a veterans center and a full-time contact to provide support, said Jerry Boden, chief of staff for the Maryland Department of Veterans Affairs.
FCC's program offers academic advice, help with the admissions process and benefits, job placement and personal counseling and referrals.
Several other schools have either a center or a full-time coordinator, Boden said.
Having a place for them to gather can help veterans avoid feeling isolated on campus as they try to reintegrate from the military lifestyle back into the civilian community, he said.
"We don't want them to feel that way. We want them to feel like they're part of the college," Boden said.
He said the department has annual conferences with colleges and universities, where they discuss best practices for helping veterans on campus.
One of their recent focuses was for each school to have a place on campus where veterans can come together, he said.
That makes centers such as the one at FCC much appreciated, Boden said.
While such centers can help veterans get an education, getting them jobs once they get out of school is equally important.
Veterans can sometimes struggle to move back into the civilian workforce when their time in the military is over.
In February 2013, the unemployment rate for all veterans stood at 6.9 percent, below the national rate of 7.7 percent, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
But for veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the unemployment figure was 9.4 percent.
Testifying in February before the House of Delegates's Education, Health and Environmental Affairs Committee, Gov. Martin O'Malley (D) said Maryland's unemployment rate of 8.8 percent for all veterans and 9.7 percent of veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan was "unacceptably high."
Figures for Frederick County veterans were not available.
O'Malley was testifying in support of the Veterans Full Employment Act, which would make it easier for veterans and their spouses to get the licensing or certification they need if they relocate to Maryland from another state where they are licensed, as well as require schools to provide credit for military training.
The bill unanimously passed the state Senate on March 22, and had a hearing scheduled for today in the House Health and Government Operations and Economic Matters committees.
Twenty states already move moved veterans to the head of the line, O'Malley said, according to a transcript of his testimony.
Thirteen states provide academic credit for relevant military training, allowing veterans to get their degrees in less time and for less money, O'Malley said.
"The more degrees our people have, the better that is for our state and our economy," he said.

OUTSTANDINGby Glenn V. - verified purchaser
Had the Tourmaster Transition jacket for years, been waiting for them to go on sale in order to get a hi-viz model. Can't be too careful these days. Dam this hi-viz is bright should take all the excuses from the "didn't see the bike" crowd. Jafrum prices and delivery always first rate. Fitment wise, I'm 6'04" 270lbs 34" sleeve the 3XL fit perfectly... even the arm length !
Tour Master Tranisition 3 Jacket Reviewby Tex - verified purchaser
Great jacket!. I ordered a size larger so I could layer if necessary. Extraordinary construction with fabulous utility. The heavy liner is great for cool day. Not so cool, you can remove it. Highly recommend this jacket.
Pleasant Surpriseby Toni Chandler - verified purchaser
I am a woman biker, 5'5" and stocky. I ordered a man's XL (high viz) and the fit is perfect. On chilly days (62 degrees with fog and light rain) just closing the front and leaving the back vent open provides a very comfortable ride. I stay dry and warm without building up excessive heat. There is no bunching up of the fabric in the front. So far I love this jacket. It's stylish, comfortable, versatile, and durable. I am very happy with my purchase and will get one for my husband.
Tourmaster Transition 3 Jacket Reviewby Errol Waguespack - verified purchaser
I ordered by the size chart and it fits great. Lots of pockets, Vents, adjustable straps to adjust for the fit you are looking for. It has a zip out lining and all zippers seem to be made of high quality. So far I Love the jacket and hope it's not too hot during the summer. High quality jacket at a very good price.
Tourmaster Transition 3 Jacket Reviewby Jim - verified purchaser
I was looking for an armoured jacket that would protect me in different weather conditions and I chose a good one. Lots of pockets, lots of vents, velcro cuffs, and zip-out lining. It's not cheap but there are lots of jackets that cost more and provide less.
Tourmaster Jacketby DADerby - verified purchaser
All-in-all the jacket is great. Lots of reflection but when we received the first jacket it had a flaw on the inside of the arm, which made it too tight to wear and it was very uncomfortable. I have ordered a replacement jacket.
Tourmaster Transition 3 Jacketby Dennis Couch - verified purchaser
Nothing wrong with this stylish coat: Plenty of adjustable straps, pockets (even a double fanny pack!), and a rain-proof front zipper. I ordered another for my wife.
Tourmaster Transition Jacket 3.0by Kevin Cruickshank - verified purchaser
What an incredible deal. Similar jackets I saw at a dealership were over $600. I love how many pockets it has and the high quality of the assembly. I was surprised at the weight of the jacket, finding it heavy, but once riding I felt very secure and the heavier weight was nice. This is a jacket for bikers who put serious miles on in seriously bad weather. Awesome Hardcore Touring Jacket!
One problem outweighed by lots of flexibilityby Chad - verified purchaser
There are no shortage of vents on this jacket. Two in front, one of each shoulder, two near the arm pits, two on the lower back sides and one across the shoulder blades. Did I forget any? Probably. The other cool thing is the vents have nets so they could also be used as pockets. Speaking of pockets.. there are a lot of those as well. A couple inside the jacket liner, a couple in the jacket itself, two outside for hands, one on the left cuff with a little lanyard clip that I have no idea what to use for (gloves clip?)... The jacket seems well made and durable so far. No comment on water proof or not yet as it hasn't rained. The dual front zipper is nice but the top zipper has already had it's little handle snapped off. The bottom zipper is metal but the top is cheap plastic. Not a great idea. I'm a little thick so the bottom of the jacket doesn't really close. I ordered an XL and I am 5'7" and weigh 220 with a large chest and shoulders so I really fill the jacket. The snaps on the arms allow you to fine-tune the position of the armor as well which is great because otherwise I'd have armor on the bottom of my arm instead of on my elbows! Good: Pockets Ventilation Material seems strong Dual zipper front with velcro and waterproof lining Removable inner lining for warm/cool weather Comfortable collar and cuff materials Bad: Plastic zipper handle broke after 1 week Collar is just a little short to block cool winter wind from going up helmet Bottom/gut area could use a little more room.
Tourmaster T3 Jacket Reviewby Chad - verified purchaser
I wrote a nice long detailed review and the Jafrum site ate it. Good: Venting Warmth Pockets Quality material Adjustable position armor Removable liner Bad: Zipper broke after one week Belly/Waist area needs a little more room or more size options for short fat people ;)
The Transition III is a three quarter length textile riding jacket that's made of a highly abrasion resistant material called Carbolex, with extra heavy duty panels in the shoulders and elbows.
It's available in a huge size range, with available regular sizes extra small to four XL, and tall sizes medium tall to three XLT. The fit is pretty spot on per the size chart unless you are going to wear this jacket in cold enough weather where you would need a thicker layer or a heated liner. Billy, here, is 5'10" 165 with a 42 inch chest, and the recommended small fits perfectly over a t-shirt, but he would need a medium if he added a hoody.
In my experience, there are four key elements to a good touring jacket; protection, mobility, climate control, and storage. This Transition III is above average in all four.
Protection is achieved through a combination of high tensile strength and abrasion resistant fabrics and CE rated armor.
Carbolex is a 600 denier modified polyester based material, so it doesn't have quite the abrasion resistance of say an aramid fiber, but it is highly resistant to UV light, so the jacket isn't going to lose strength to fading over the years.
The shoulders and elbows are reinforced with a 1680 Denier ballistic polyester and house removable CE approved armor components. Your back is also protected by armor but it isn't CE approved. The trade-off is that is instead articulated, which makes it really flexible and you hardly know it's there. While we're looking at the back, you can also see the zippered panel that allows you to attach the jacket to a pair of riding pants. This feature not only protects the small of your back in a crash, but it also helps to hold up your pants, and keeps water from running down into your "whistle". Safety can also be found in the form of visibility. Phoslite reflective piping and panels dramatically improve your visibility at night, as does the TourMaster logo on the back.
The second key element to a good touring jacket is mobility. Mobility is comfort, and is achieved using three characteristics; cut or shape of the jacket, adjustability, and the use of flex panels. The Transition III doesn't have any flex panels, which would be a nice addition, but the cut and the adjustability are quite good. The arms have a gentle curve to them, and the expansion joints in the shoulders help to keep the jacket from pulling on your back and binding under the arms when your arms are outstretched. There are Velcro adjusters at the ribs that work with the stretch band on the back of the jacket to optimize the fit.
There are also these reflective adjusters at the bottom of the jacket. You can use these in conjunction with the two way zipper on the main closure to control the fit and the airflow. The sleeves are fitted with these sleeve take-ups to keep the armor in place and reduce buffeting, and the cuffs are adjustable to allow your gloves to be worn with the gauntlet either on the inside or the outside of the cuff, depending on the weather conditions.
The third key element to a good riding jacket is climate control. The shell construction, ventilation, and liner system are all crucial in keeping you comfortable in varying weather conditions. The Carbolex shell is water resistant yet breathable, so it keeps the water out, but also lets water vapor escape through the material.
Ventilation is everywhere on this Transition jacket. TourMaster uses a similar ventilation strategy as FieldSheer, in that the hook and loop flaps that cover the waterproof vent zippers can be fastened back on themselves to create a scoop of sorts, to funnel huge amounts of air into the jacket. You can use these take-up straps to keep the vents open when you're not reaching for the handlebars. This style of vents can be found on the sleeves, and on the inside and the outside of the chest. The vents on the outside of the chest have a cool added feature, this snap on the bottom of the vent opening makes the vent zipper easier to reach and also keeps the pull tab quiet in the wind when the vent is open.
There are additional vents on the back of the jacket as well. There is a huge exhaust vent across the shoulder blades and this fanny pack at the bottom is also ventilation when the zippers are open.
The liner system is the last element to good climate control. If you unhook the collar and fasten it out of the way, you can unzip the two way zipper to expose the removable, quilted, thermal liner. If you unzip the liner, you will see a fixed mesh liner that promotes airflow, and if you look closely, you can see the rainguard waterproof, breathable liner behind it. The combination of these systems provides a waterproof, breathable barrier that will keep you warm and dry. The only lacking feature with this setup is that the waterproof liner cannot be removed, which does reduce the amount of cool air you can get into the jacket on hot days, but the trade-off is a reduction of bulk, which is incredibly important for comfortable cold weather rides.
Storage is the final piece to the touring jacket puzzle. To say that storage is ample would be a dramatic understatement. Again, this jacket has a fanny pack built into it! Now, admit it. You've wanted to rock a fanny pack again since the eighties, but have lived in fear of wedgie dealing bullies. Well, it's time to let your fanny flag fly. Now you can hide your must haves in a butt pouch, and no one will ever know.
If you fill up the fanny and still need more room, there are plenty of other pocket options to choose from. The front of the jacket is equipped with two large flap style cargo pockets, and the chest vents closest to the main closure double as pockets as well. Even the sleeve gets a pocket. If you open this pocket up, you'll find a stretchy cord with a spring ring on the end to hold your keys. If we go back inside the Transition jacket, you can see that the thermal liner is equipped with numerous different sized pockets, and the shell is equipped with a Velcro pocket as well.

Today we are engaged in a group discussion amongst the team members of DODO lab
Analyzing our individual processes and learning from our mistakes and what steps we could have taken to further make our project more interesting and helpful in collecting and archiving our research.
Our projects were about open ended research guided by Dodo Lab, we broke down our projects into four different groups: Pollution, Land Survey, Tourism and Music.
This project was more about asking questions rather than coming to a pre determined solution.
What we noticed is that people were comfortable giving out the information as long as it's not being recorded or taped. It felt like we touched their weak-spots and they told us about their experiences very passionately as if they were waiting to tell a story or a city to initiate a research to come with a solution that could help revive the economy.
All our research has been archived into E-Books which is a publishing tool courtesy of Proboscis.

Does any one have pictures or ideas for a lock on a beer fridge? I want to make sure my teen has no temptation while Im away from the house. I'm thinking of putting a bracket on the top and bottom of the fridge. Kind of like what you would see on a tool box where there is a long strap/pipe that goes from the top to the bottom. This in turn would latch on the bottom bracket and pad lock against the top bracket.
Dont get me wrong we dont have any issues as of yet but if they have friends over I dont want them to have any peer pressure because things are all locked up.

Beer fridge lock?
Count the beer.............. And let them know their gonna get a boot in their butt if they get into it. Sometimes locking stuff up only makes it more tempting. Of course just my opinion, do whatever it takes. At least you care enough to watch your kids, alot of folks today do not.
ps: For what its worth I have 2 boys, now 22 and 17. Been very blessed, they have both been wonderful kids.Scott

How bout just the simple old strap and hasp. do you really need a vault? As long as its mounted in such away that its not simple to remove ie. just unscrew the screws and ignore the lock, it should keep em honest and you'll know if they weren't. If not, then down comes the old wrath of God or the closest parental rep.

I was a quiet little boy until I turned 11. Then I went insane..... and stayed that way for 10 years. You're right to lock that fridge; weld it shut if you have to.

Granted, it's more expensive than riveting a hasp on the existing beer fridge, but the wife will probably approve more than having a pad lock hanging off it.
Example is a huge influence on kids. I had a cousin in rehab for most of my elementary school years, then I ended up friends with a couple hard core drug dealers but I had no desire to end up like my cousin so I never tried anything.
Now when dealing with the kids friends, it might be wise to make the stuff inaccessible as to limit your liability. Never know these days who is gonna sue you for not making the substance difficult enough to acquire. Even if they steal it.Syncrowave 250DX

Wouldn't you rather allow them some temptation now, when you can catch them... than wait until it's something much bigger down the road?
In other words, if your kid is into stuff, he will eventually nab a beer and you can address the problem then. If you lock up the beer, he may be doing much more and just be good at hiding it from you.
A similar case I had:
I didn't want my kids touching my guns. ..at all! I bought a 12ga shotgun ad put it in the living room, in plain sight. I knew it was unloaded, as I have never bought ammo for it. I told them that if they touched it, they got a spanking. I used it as a tool to teach them not to touch guns. THey didn't know wasn't loaded. I allowed them the opportunity to give in to temptation at a time that the risk factor was low. Even now, they don't touch my guns, and that's been about 10 years.
Sorry to have to say this...........that is one of the dumbest teaching tools I've every heard. What if your child or some other had come back to your place with some ammo some other father thought would be a great teaching tool also. And if someone was hurt...........guess who is at fault not to mention a possible loss of life. My children never played with firearms of mine
simply because they were safely put away.
How would you suggest children to learn not to use drugs and dynamite?
Leave some on the kitchen table and just say "NO"

My 2 boys are now 26 & 22.
For the beer:
On the frig., I had a little paper under a magnet with a number on it.
The kids knew it was how many beers on hand,
and that number better jive up with the actual count.
The ocassional Whiskey bottle had a marks-a-lot line on the level in the bottle.
They understood it better not change,
and that I knew what watered down Whiskey tasted like.
On firearms:
My kids went shooting with me since they were big enough to stand up and help hold a Colt .45.
As they got bigger, they shot more and different weapons.
By age 12, they'd fired the .50BMG from a benchrest a few times too.
The guns were always locked in a high security vault, but there was no great mystery about them.
They'd bring a buddy and ask, "Dad, can we see 'such & such' rifle or pistol"?
I'd open the vault, let them see & handle it, oil it back down, and lock them up again.
They even helped me cast Lead bullets and we did alot of reloading together.
They saw what damage bullets could do to different things, what gunshots sounded like,
what dead animals look like, and what happens when you light off gunpowder by itself, etc.
The kids had fired most of them- several times a year,
and there was none of that 'forbidden fruit' shadow hanging over them.
That system worked for us.
The thing I watched more than anything was thier money & time, and where it went.
In our day and age,,,
kids can buy hard narcotics easier than they can plan & scheme to steal booze.
Or, if they're real clever & sneaky, just grow thier own 'smoking dope'.

I doubt we'll see either of their likes again".

I was wondering whether the deer would be able to smell bug repellent if you are wearing some while out hunting. Is there a specific type of bug repellent that can be used that is less likely to make deer shy away from the area?

Yes, deer will smell your bug spray. Even if you use all the fancy scent-eliminating sprays, soaps, and clothing detergents they can still smell you if you are sweaty. Most important is the wind factor: Deer will smell you if they are downwind of you.
NRA hunting advice for first-time deer hunters: http://www.nrainsights.org/Five_Things_fs.php.
I would say use the bug spray you would have used anyway. Just make sure you carefully monitor the wind and plan your hunting spot carefully.

Billy King strikes again. Humphries to the Nets for 2 years 24 million. Only King could manage to still be ****ed financially with the worst bench in the league without landing Dwight. Seriously, they're in luxury tax territory on their starters alone.
Humphries was given the contract with Howard in mind. They're still trying to get him and will now be able to take back every long term deal the Magic have.
Speaking of clever finances......amazing how the Mavs retooled with a bunch of good vets all one one year contracts in order to keep their dream of Howard/Paul alive. I think the dream is more fantasy, but gotta give them credit for getting Kaman, Collison, Mayo, and Brand. Still think Cuban made a horrible mistake is breaking up that championship roster to go after Howard......
thoughts on courtney lee??? haven't seen him since the postseason when he was with the magic years ago...seems like ainge pulled another rabbit out of the hat with the trade though...
hoops scoops 2012 season ..."in 2014 ryan tannehill etches his name in stone amongst the games elite qbs"..."ryan tannehill and andrew luck will carry the afc for the next decade plus the way peyton manning and tom brady have this last decade plus"
for the love of god get a real freaking mike already!!!
Bulls letting Asik go. There goes that great bench. Watson, Lucas, Korver, Asik, and Brewer......never thought they'd let them all go.
That frontline of Asik/Gibson/Brewer was awesome. Impressive how much they outscored their opponents while on the floor given their complete ineptitude on the offensive end.
I hate when owners make decisions based on the money. It makes no sense otherwise to let Asik go......its not going to help the team in any way, and its not like it'll create any room under the cap for further moves down the road. As the GM you have to watch a coveted asset go for nothing so your boss can pocket another 10 mil.

Do people deserve to know the truth, even if it isn't in their best interest?
Is truth always the best choice of action? In "On the Decay of the Art of Lying," Mark Twain argues:
"Lying is universal--we all do it; we all must do it. Therefore, the wise thing is for us diligently to train ourselves to lie thoughtfully, judiciously; to lie with a good object, and not an evil one; to lie for others' advantage, and not our own; to lie healingly, charitably, humanely, not cruelly, hurtfully, maliciously; to lie gracefully and graciously, not awkwardly and clumsily; to lie firmly, frankly, squarely, with head erect, not haltingly, tortuously, with pusillanimous mien, as being ashamed of our high calling. Then shall we be rid of the rank and pestilent truth that is rotting the land; then shall we be great and good and beautiful, and worthy dwellers in a world where even benign Nature habitually lies, except when she promises execrable weather. "
What are your thoughts?
Mar 16 2013: Seigi, I try to not lie. I have, but never with the intent of hurting someone. I have also posted some things on TED that I later found were untrue. That taught me to do better research.
Quick story: I arrived at a accident scene where a camper had been hit by a train. I seated the woman away from the scene with minor cuts and bruises .... She asked about her husband ... I directed the ambulance crew to take her for eval at the local hospital. The husband had been thrown and the camper shell landed on his head. I sent her away knowing this. My purpose was to not have the last image of her husband like this. She said at the hospital that she deserved to see him and I denied her that right. Yep, she is right. She said she would never forgive me. I hope that when she recalls her husband he is young, strong, and smiling. I can live with that lie and wish her well.
There is no universal rule. No absolutes. Time and circumstances dictate our actions. In my case .... can you live with the decision. She probally still hates me ... but I lied to her as a act of love ..... I can live with it.
I wish you well. Bob.
Mar 16 2013: Bob,
I found this to be incredibly emotional and moving. Thank you for sharing. What a hard decision to make it must have been..Mar 21 2013: Hi Bob,
Your story fascinates me. I agree with Seigi's comment, but now I am interested in someone with the same experience making the other decision. Thank you for sharing with us Bob.Mar 16 2013: Yes, people deserve the truth, including yourself.
Intentionally speaking false statements, over-stated or under-stated facts, or manipulative partial truths changes your words from helping people with information to tools of manipulation.
There is enough of a problem with mis-truths being spread out of ignorance without intelligent people choosing to spread them. Education has as its goal the eradication of ignorance. There is no good balance on the spreading of mistruths except personal honor, integrity, and respect for the audience and yourself.
In truth is a simple beauty that deserves to be shared. Anything else slows the progress of humanity.
Mar 16 2013: I agree with you, especially on an individual level.
What I'm trying to figure out is if any exceptions to this rule exist, or if it can truly be considered universally applicable.
Mar 16 2013: One exception might be fiction writing. Another might be some of the things parents do help children have a nice childhood. However, I can not think of any instances on an adult level where it is in the listening party's interest to hear non-factual information. However, there are many instances when silence might be the best word choice.Mar 18 2013: Any truth that does not bring liberation and emancipation is not a very important truth. Sometimes truths are not solutions, and solutions may be more important than truth.
For example, if I have a severe toothache, i want relief, and quickly too. The last thing i need is a dentist's lecture on the truth about my teeth. Millions of Nigerians are struggling under the weight of poverty, the truth as expressed by economic jargons, graphs and charts, wont be of much help.
But there is always truth at the basic level, that liberates and empowers. This, we cannot do without.
Gail .
Mar 17 2013: Everything is relative. Let's say that you are on your death bed and you know you are dying. If I were to visit you and show you conclusive proof you have done something that you yourself have often said is deserving of Hell, what exactly would be accomplished - other than perhaps making you as miserable as I am if I were to do such a horrible thing to you?
- +4
But in general, people always deserve truth because the truth can set us free. But opinions are not truth, and too many confuse the two.Mar 16 2013: There are times when we should say nothing rather than tell the truth or a lie. We sometimes have no way of knowing whether it's in someone's best interest to tell the truth, so rather than lie to them, say nothing. If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. Sometimes when someone wants to tell someone the truth, it's not because they think it' s for their own good, it's because want to hurt them.
Barry Palmer
Mar 16 2013: "Do people deserve to know the truth, even if it isn't in their best interest?"
- +3
"Deserve" has nothing to do with the issue.
There are many scenarios where telling someone the truth is most definitely not in their best interest. In those cases, telling someone the truth is harming them. IMO, that is unethical. (Unless, perhaps the person "deserves" to be harmed.)
I took care of my chronically ill wife for 15 years, and during that time I shielded her from many truths, notably our household finances. I have absolutely no doubt that I was right to do so.
The government does not tell us the truth about some of its functions because the truth must be kept hidden from our enemies.Mar 16 2013: I like to stay with people who likes to tell the facts.because I feel comfortable to be together with them.So I like myself to tell the facts all the time.
Mar 21 2013: How are you certain that everyone you talk to doesn't tell white lies every once in awhile? It is all about the self made perceptions that we need to examine before we fall into an obvious pitfall we set up ourselves, like those always tricky "never" and "always" statements.
Rhona Pavis
Mar 17 2013: Truth is in the best interest of every one. Selectivity is a factor. Some people are aware that truths expressed can be positive truths. Some people fear truth needlessly. Some people think truths are negative. Truth is neutral. Seek/Find.
- +1
If we seek positive truths and express them, we will have positive impacts. It is because people in our society were raised through methods involving manipulation of their behavior by fear provocation when they were impressionable children, they start lying to avoid being punished. Let's stop manipulating the behavior of others and just manipulate our own behavior. If people feel they must manipulate the behavior of children or others, let them use positive methods of doing that. This will elevate the level of truth, justice, health, happiness and general well-being of all people in our world.Mar 16 2013: I think the question is: How do you determine that the truth isn't in their best interest? Is it really upto us to decide that (and lie as a result of the rationality we design for it)?
We can't see the future, we can't see everything, so all we have are our own personal assumptions to dictate the fate of the person in question.
There just aren't that many instances where lying can legitimately be known to be ultimately for the greater good, and by extension, it doesn't seem appropriate to withold potentially life-alterting information from someone which is essentially making you choose their life for them.
Just my two cents.
Mar 21 2013: i agree that we can not be absolutely sure if lying is the best thing for another person, yet we trust ourselves that it is the right thing to do.. (for what ever reason)Mar 23 2013: Lying is part of being human. To not lie simply makes one less human.
A stark statement like the one above only serves to make the average persons head nod up and down or side to side. Either way you slice it, we have all done it. It seems instinctive and perfectly natural. Despite the best intentions of Ben Franklin, honesty is not always the best policy. That said, lying is something like wine to me: too much and everyone hates you.Mar 22 2013: but you are your mind? if you don't work to how your brain works then you aren't using it to its full potentialMar 22 2013: If I am going to say something, it is going to be based on fact because my memory sucks and I can't remember what I lied about. I am honest to a fault...
My friend wanted me to go wedding dress shopping with her, because i am so honest. and I was..
but there are times that the truth can be said without saying the truth, and then no one has to have hurt feelings. For instance something small would be 'how does this dress look' if i honestly did not like the dress i would say 'i don't have to wear it, do you feel confident? do you feel good in the dress?" If she said 'yes' i would say 'then the dress looks great on you' (because it would be her confidence coming through in the dress. However, if she said 'no' i would then ask 'well, then, why are you wearing it?' that is just something simple. but i think you get my point.
that is all.
RonneyMar 22 2013: I think that an individual deserve to know the truth, even if it is not in their best interest. i say this because I feel that if its a genuine relationship among the individuals involved , they will respect your honestly.Mar 21 2013: i think faster than i type adding punctuation would only be worse
Mar 21 2013: I'm sure if you try, then you can adapt. It is all about making your mind work for you, and not the other way around.Mar 21 2013: Ithink, if you lie to protect some one's feelings then it was worth it, even if you are caught.
yes they have to learn the truth sometimes , but if it could break that person mentally and spiritually then i would not tell them the truth.Mar 16 2013: no this is wrong down to the basic moral fiber of its ideology lying is wrong everyone deserves the truth without the truth we let ourselves unknowingly make impartial decisions we should never be afraid of how someone will act if we tell them the truth the truth is what our world and the universe is if you lie about what your world is in any level you are personally creating irrationalities in your own mind as well as others
Mar 21 2013: I'm going to say the "truth" here, but where are your punctuation's and upper case letters?Mar 16 2013: This question can be illuminated by the inverse: Do people deserve to be lied to, misled and deceived on an everyday basis by people who have pledged, vowed and promised to be on their side?
To that, the answer is definitively no.
Mar 16 2013: I think that what you say is true, Rand, but you limited the parameters of the question quite a bit by throwing in words like 'everyday basis' and 'pledged, vowed, and promised to be on their side'.. the original did not imply any sort of established relationship.
Rand Herz
Mar 16 2013: Well. Do people deserve to be lied to?
- +1
I read the question again and must ask: who determines what someone's best interest is? According to economic science, only the individual can determine his or her best interest. Not an external decision maker.
So do people want to be lied to?Mar 16 2013: There are times in life when telling someone "the truth" is not the kind thing to do. What you define as "the truth" may not be reality, you sometimes can only see things from your own perspective. What you see as the truth could really be a lie.Mar 16 2013: Sometimes "you can't handle the truth." We can not presume to think that everyone wants to hear the truth and I agree with those that say: don't give your opinion unless it's asked for. Even when giving your friend want you think the truth is...say in a kind way, because sometimes we all make mistakes. You can tell someone that my opinion is or this is what I think is true, you can agree or disagree with me. Never believe that you know what the truth is...nothing in life is so black and white.Mar 16 2013: I think one should always try to tell the truth, but present it in a way that is to everybody's advantage.Mar 16 2013: I can think of a few cases in which it might be better to leave people to their delusions rather than shining a bright light on the matter. I think it is worth being cautious, for example, when a person suffers from severe depression or is physically highly vulnerable.

ETSU baseball holds annual Scout Day
Thursday, September 30, 2010
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Sept. 29, 2010) -The ETSU baseball team displayed their talents in front several scouts from different major league organizations at the team's annual Scout Day, Wednesday afternoon at Cardinal Park in Johnson City, Tenn.
"Today was a good day," said head coach Tony Skole. "I really appreciate all the scouts coming out and taking a look at our players. As it pertains to the Major League Baseball Draft, we definitely have some interesting kids on our roster this season. . We have some kids with some big time tools this year, and they all performed well and showcased their abilities very admirably. Hopefully our club will continue to improve as we finish up these last few weeks of our fall season. I have been very pleased with our recent progress. We still have a long way to go, but I am very excited about this group."
The Bucs showcased their baseball skills in several drills. First, each Buccaneer player ran a 60-yard dash for the scouts in attendance. Next, outfielders threw from right field to third base and to home, and infielders took pre-game infield practice. ETSU hitters got a chance to put their power on display with batting practice, and the scouts were able to catch a sneak peak of the Buccaneer pitchers as they concluded the day throwing from the mound.
ETSU will close out fall practices with the Blue/Gold World Series on Oct. 8-13. Please visit www.ETSUBucs.com for more information on ETSU baseball or any other Buccaneer athletic team.

1 (18.25 ounce) package
devil's food cake mix
1 (5.9 ounce) package
instant chocolate pudding mix
1 cup
sour cream
1 cup
vegetable oil
1/2 cup
warm water
2 cups
semisweet chocolate chips
As a cake decorator, I've tried a lot of different "doctored cake mix" recipes. This is one of the best I've tried. I love how it only takes 1 cup of sour cream (others take 2 cups). Don't be afraid to add the full amount of oil---it's cake! I prefer using mini chocolate chips, and they add a lot to the recipe. The little ones don't "sink" to the bottom of the cake pan AND are small enough to melt completely, leaving a small bit of pure chocolate in each bite. I will be using this recipe from now on.
HELPFUL TIPS AFTER READING ALL THE REVIEWS: Well despite wanting to say I made a cake from "scratch" as I hate any boxed items, I tried this & the soldiers loved it! I only use 1/2C of olive oil (more would leave the outside crispy), 1/3C milk (helped w/consistency), 1C chocolate chips (more is too much & just a waste) & greased generously w/PAM to prevent any problems. From a baking video, it's best to cut out a piece of wax/parchment paper in shape of what you're baking in & put on bottom, so you can easily take out & work w/layers. Also, I wanted to make sure some 1st timers didn't make the same mistake I did the 1st time I made this. I forgot about the chocolate chips so when checking to see if this was done, I almost overcooked it b/c my toothpick kept coming up with what I thought was batter. DOH!! Cooking at 335 for 55 minutes was perfect. I used Satiny Chocolate Glaze like many others but had no idea it really wasn't a glaze but came on more like a frosting. Next time I'll try a more traditional chocolate frosting as the kids kept wondering what all that fancy gooey stuff that did not taste "great" was instead of their normal chocolatey frosting. :)

Cut the calories and this cake still tastes awesome. I used Sugar free pudding mix, fat free sour cream, unsweetened applesauce instead of oil, and egg whites... you'd never know it was ~200 less calories/slice. It was very moist and chocolaty which is hard to find when you use the "healthier" options.
Very, very moist, rich cake. Followed recipe exactly. This is going to become a standard at our house. Perfect with a dusting of powdered sugar and a cold glass of milk. I can definitely see where this one won the award! Update 8/20/06 - have made this recipe many, many times now for parties and get-togethers. It ALWAYS receives rave reviews. I have experimented with different flavors of cake mixes/pudding/chips and had wonderful results. Fudge cake/choc pudding/choc mint chips. Carmel cake/butterscotch pudding/butterscotch chips. Cherry cake mix/vanilla pudding/cherry chips. Fudge cake/choc pudding/peanut butter chips (this one was awesome!). This is my standard cake now I make for everything. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.
Delicious! I made this for my mom's birthday and it was a big hit! Slight changes: I used a dark chocolate fudge cake mix, with 1/2 cup veg. oil and 1/3 cup milk (to help with the batter consistency), and 1 cup of chocolate chips. I baked it in a bundt cake pan at 335 degrees for 55-60 min. It turned out perfectly! Very rich and moist, but not at all wet or 'crispy' on the outside edges. Let it cool for an hour in the pan, then removed and drizzled the Satiny Chocolate Glaze from this site over it, garnished with strawberries and powdered sugar. Great presentation and great rich, chocolate taste. I would bake this again! I'll have a picture up soon.
Update (10/24): Was wondering if anyone had used this recipe for cupcakes? Wasn't sure how the recipe would hold up when baked in a smaller size. Thanks!
I had to make a second cake. The recipe has too much oil and would not cook completely without the outside being overdone. Cooked it again with 1/2 the oil and it was great.
I was hesitant because I always cook from scratch. But I've had so much trouble lately with getting my chocolate cakes moist because of the high altitude I'm at, so I'll try anything. It turned out perfect. I cooked it in 9" cake pans for a birthday cake filled it with raspberry & frosted with chocolate buttercream. Everyone raved about it, and it was so moist. I used the mini chocolate chips and they were perfect, melted totally. My husband said it was almost like a brownie cake. Great for decorating because it holds it shape and doesn't crumble. It will be my standard chocolate cake recipe, can't wait to try it again with different fillings and frostings. Yum!!!
I made this for family for Valentine's Day. I did use 3/4 C. oil as suggested. I replaced the h2o with strong coffee and used a bag (11.5 oz.) of Ghirardelli's 60% cocoa bittersweet chocolate chips. I used 1 round and 1 8x8 pan so that I could cut the round cake in half and push it against 2 of the squares sides to form a heart. These baked perfectly at 330 for 45 minutes. I topped it with whipped cream and strawberries I dipped in chocolate. This made a good sized heart cake that was devoured in 2 nights. It was so rich and chocolate-y that we could not keep our hands off of it. Thank you for the fabulous recipe!

US court rejects appeal by DuPont, Honeywell in HCFC lawsuit
1:35 PM MST | January 23, 2013 | Kara Sissell
The US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia has rejected an appeal by Honeywell International and DuPont, which sought to overturn a prior ruling regarding certain hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC) allowances allocated by EPA to competitors Arkema and Solvay. The dispute relates to baseline allowances under a cap-and-trade program EPA has created as part of its efforts to reduce HCFC production and consumption. The program has five regulatory phases through 2030, and the lawsuit deals with the phase allocating credits for 2010–14. In 2008, EPA...

First Jamarcus Russel. Now Pat White. Next up: Todd Marinovich.
Seriously Pat? Why bother? He is blaming his maturity level. All I can say is good luck and I hope you packed on some weight.
White, the Dolphins controversial second-round pick in 09 who flamed out of the NFL after just one season, spent Monday shaking hands with NFL personnel people on a high school field outside Mobile. White didnt get an NFL tryout after being cut by the Dolphins in September 2010, but believes he still can play in the league.
I know that I can still do it, said White, a Mobile-area native who still lives in Fort Lauderdale. I just want to come out here, shake hands, show my face and let coaches know that Im interested.
White, who received $2.4 million in guaranteed money from the Dolphins, takes the blame for his NFL failure.
Just wasnt mentally ready to compete at the level that I needed to be, he said.
