Most students with disabilities will never serve in the military, but a one-of-a-kind program in Maryland is using lessons from the armed forces to help with everyday life.
The Young Marines is a national program that uses military principles to teach students across the country. But a special unit at the Kennedy Krieger High School in Baltimore is the only one to focus exclusively on middle and high school students with disabilities.
Students in the program have everything from autism to intellectual disability, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy and brain injuries. The unit's leader 1st Sgt. Vivian Price-Butler, who is a veteran of the Iraq war, adjusts lessons to accommodate various reading levels and other special needs.
Nonetheless, Price-Butler holds all students to a high standard. Everyone learns about the military and does service projects, putting together care packages or visiting hospitals, for example. They are also taught the value of discipline, learning to tuck in their shirts and listen to their parents.
For many of the students, Price-Butler's approach is likely to have lasting effect, parents say. "When she speaks, these kids straighten right up and listen," one student's mother told The Washington Post. To read more click here.

All I can say is Ooo-Rah! 1st Sgt Price-Butler Ooo-Rah!.
This sounds like a wonderful program, a way to get kids involved in an organized activity for inclusion and to help them for their entire lives. I applaud 1st Sgt. Vivian Price-Butler
I would LOVE to see this reproduced, & spread like wildfire.

"Half and half" is available in American grocery stores. It's approximately half milk and half cream. You can substitute light cream.flag if inappropriate
Exceptional. Light and refreshing. Just like the panna cotta you get in Italy.flag if inappropriate
Would any body be able to tell me what 'half and half' is please??flag if inappropriate
Make no mistake, panna cotta is a delivery system for a delicious fruit sauce. I multiplied this recipe by 30 for a restaurant kitchen and was a big hit. Of course, the real star was the sauce we made of strawberries and bananas that we needed to use up. I think a tart berry sauce is best. Side note: if it separates, you're probably not cooling it fast enough.flag if inappropriate
Made this for company and did not receive any raves. I thought it was just OK and husband thought it was slightly better. It was a hit with the kids as I drizzled melted chocolate over theirs. For the adults I served it with a strawberry/balsamic vinegar compote that was excellent. I like the make ahead and ease factors but need more punch. I don't think I would make it again.flag if inappropriate
An excellent panna cotta, very light. I served it with a blackberry cassis sauce (puree 6 oz. container blackberries with 2 TB. creme de cassis and 1/4 C. sugar, then strain and discard seeds) and fresh raspberries- raves from dinner guests and can be made day ahead. It did not separate. Everyone wanted the recipe. This made 4 servings. I made exactly as written with no problems as described by others.flag if inappropriate
When I tried this recipe I found that it separated into a gelatin semi-translucent layer on the bottom (which became to the top when inverted) and an opaque layer on the top. Any suggestions on why this happened and how to prevent this? Thanksflag if inappropriate

I was inspired by the green tea panna cotta at Zipangu restaurant in Costa Mesa. But, I like my panna cotta like Goldilocks-not too soft and not too hard. I also don't unmold my panna cotta. My tweaks are as follows: used 2 cups whipping cream only, 1 1/2 tsp. gelatin, 1/4 cup sugar, and same amount of vanilla and cold water to dissolve gelatin. It was the perfect amount for four 7 oz. ramekins. It even helps them to set faster, in about 2 to 3 hours. Definitely have to make the dessert on the day it will be served, because the consistency thickens the longer it chills. This goes in my recipe file for a quick and easy dessert!flag if inappropriate
We just got back from Elba, where we'd had some amazing panna cotta at the Hotel Antares, so we were thrilled to find the recipe with such good reviews. It is a 4-fork recipe for flavour and ease, but the consistency knocked it down to 3-forks overall. As others have noted, it was way too soft to be a real panna cotta experience for us. We will try again this weekend with double the gelatin and see how that works. I did some in glasses, and some in molds -- next time we'll just do molds -- unmolding isn't really that hard (not hard at all) and it makes the dish more authentic and special. We also did some with chopped strawberries and others plain. Both were good. As others noted, when we put the fruit on the bottom, it got mixed through the panna cotta, but it was a good thing -- the strawberry flavour infused the panna cotta, sort of like an strawberries and cream at Wimbeldon, Italian style.flag if inappropriate

If Senator Ed Markey (D-Mass.) has his way, all new handguns in America will be sold with so-called "smart gun" technology that would drastically increase the cost of new firearms while also possibly making them far less reliable.
If passed, Markey's bill would require all new handguns to include the technology within two years and that older guns be retrofitted within three years to render the firearms inoperable to unauthorized users.
In revealing his legislation, Markey said that the law's main purpose will be to prevent law enforcement officers from having their own weapons used against them, prevent accidental shooting deaths of children and combat the use of stolen guns in crime.
"No one wants children to get access to a handgun and hurt themselves or others," Markey said. "This is the type of gun safety legislation that everyone — regardless of political party or affiliation — should be able to support."
The Armatix iP1, the country's first "smart gun," exemplifies the sort of technology that Markey is advocating. The Washington Post explained the weapon's technology thusly:
It requires an accessory: a black waterproof watch.
The watch's primary purpose is not to provide accurate time, though it does. The watch makes the gun think. Electronic chips inside the gun and the watch communicate with each other. If the watch is within close reach of the gun, a light on the grip turns green. Fire away. No watch means no green light. The gun becomes a paperweight.
Critics of proposals like Markey's argue that his bill is yet another scheme put forth by the anti-gun left to make guns less dependable and more expensive while doing absolutely nothing to prevent gun violence.
National Shooting Sports Foundation Lawrence Keane noted last year that in a setting like Adam Lanza's Connecticut home, whether Nancy Lanza had owned a "smart gun" like the Armatix would have made no difference because the deranged young man would have had access to everything he needed to make it fire.

It was remarkable enough for the Hamilton girls basketball team to rise from its no. 7 seed to earn its first-ever Section III Class D championship.
But the Emerald Knights could take it no further as Charlotte Valley, the Section IV champions, beat them 34-24 in Saturday's Class D regional final at SUNY-Utica Tech.
With that win, Charlotte Valley, which hails from Davenport, advanced to this weekend's state Class D final four at Hudson Valley Community Collge in Troy.
The sense going into this title game was that Hamilton would need two things - another fine all-around performance from junior Jordan Peterson, plus some help from the players around her.
The concern was legitimate. Charlotte Valley had emerged from a tough Section IV bracket, and the Wildcats featured its own star in Samantha Meyerhoff, who had surpassed 2,000 career points late this season.
As far as the marquee names went, Meyerhoff would prevail, getting 20 points to Peterson's 13.
The bigger story, though, was how Charlotte Valley kept any other Hamilton player from contributing in the late stages. Katie Weeks had six points, but they call came in the first half.
Combined, the Wildcats' defensive duo of Jackie Gilley and Katie Brown did an effective job denying Weeks, Peterson and any other Hamilton player a series of good looks.
The Emerald Knights finished at 15-6 this season, and its championship run might be far from done.
Just two seniors, Hillary Hanson and Jenna Whyatt, were on the roster. Peterson, Weeks and Katherine Keever lead a cast of what could be up to 11 returning players, so head coach Jessica Poole should have her tea aiming for the top again in 2010-11.

The first thing you'll want to know about MODify, 222 E. Erie St., is that owners Jill Klemz and Rebecca Byrne try to keep everything priced under $30.
The store opened almost four months ago selling retail and resale items for men and women. All the items are on-trend, said Klemz, which means shoppers won't find vintage clothing but current fashions from yoga pants to skirts to shoes and T-shirts and new items from NEWD and a local line called Cutie Tutie Tutus (tutus sell for slightly higher than $30), including some in Brewers colors for the dramatic young baseball fan.
MODify moved into the spot that used to be JuJu, which sold gifts, accessories and décor items. The changes Klemz and Byrne made went beyond inventory. They painted walls deep green and added dark brown accents that make shoppers forget they're buying resale. Expect to find spring clothes in the store this month.
MODify hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. Call (414) 271-6633.

Category Archives: IRISH REPUBLICAN HISTORY
The Long Kesh Hunger Strike, in which 10 IRA/INLA volunteers died, was called off at 3:15pm on 3rd October 1981.
On this day, 3rd October 1981, the H.Block Hunger Strike ends.
THE Parades Commission has given the go-ahead for three separate loyalist protests during a republican parade in North Belfast today.
Up to 150 people are expected to take part in the protests at Clifton Street during a parade linked to the Republican Network for Unity (RNU). The parade, organised to remember United Irishman Henry Joy McCracken, have been ordered by the Parades Commission to play only a single drumbeat as they make their way along Clifton Street to his grave at a nearby cemetery. Organisers say they expect up to four bands, 700 participants and 500 supporters to take part in the parade. There was serious loyalist rioting over several nights in the area in 2012 after a similar parade while republicans claimed they were jeered and attacked by missiles during last year's parade. "The decision to once again allow three protests will put parade participants at risk of loyalist violence as seen in previous years," he added. A Royal Black Institution parade due to take place along Clifton Street today is not expected to clash with the republican march.

THE leader of the Irish who fought against facisim in Spain sent 25 men home fearing more loss of life, new records from Russia have revealed.
Frank Ryan (pictured above), (along with John Robinson) from Knocklong, Co Limerick, was a republican who played an important role within the International Brigades which confronted General Francisco Franco during the Spanish Civil War from 1936. Comintern papers from Moscow have given a revaling insight into the role of 230 Irish men who sided with the communists in Spain. Almost a third of the volunteers died and researcher Dr Emmet O'Connor from the University of Ulster said Ryan showed courage and leadership in battle. "It is to his credit that he managed to get about 25 men sent home, and his motivation was based on the very high losses among volunteers he himself had brought to Spain in December 1936." Ryan was wounded during the Battle of Jarama near Madrid in February 1937. Dr O'Conner said: "first, to help rebuild the British battalion decimated after the Battle of Brunete (July 1937) and, second, on his own intiative, to get as many Irishmen as possible repatriated if he felt that they had done enough."He said he envisaged a propaganda tour of America."It speaks volumes for his courage and decency that he dropped all such plans when the Repubican front collapsed in Aragon in early March 1938. He was captured on March 31 1938."
An enormours increase in knowledge about the Irish in Spain followed the release in 1991 of the files of the brigades held in a Moscow archive. The Communist International (Comintern) library has about 60,000,000 pages of documents, of which 4,000 relate to Ireland. "The size and global scope of this material created a unique opportunity to study an international movement, and was itself a factor in the promotion of transnational history, which is now at the cutting edge of historiography." Another Limerick man was mentioned in the documents. "Emmet Ryan from The Desmond Hotel in Upper Catherine Street in Limerick city, was the most intriguing: middle-class, a gifted linguist, no political affiliation. "He had a serious drink problem [not unusual in the British battalion because wine was cheap and part of the rations] but he was a constant critic of the British battalion leadership and was executed in circumstances which still remain unclear during the early stages of the Battle of the Ebro, that is in the first days of August 1938."
The International Brigades, supported by Russia, were part of an improvised army that had to contend with shortages and crises from the outset. Ultimately the Republic was defeated and Franco marched into Madrid in March 1939. The contingent of 230 Irishmen in the brigades represented 29 counties, particularly Dublin and Belfast but strong contingents from Co Derry, Waterford and Cork. One man, Paddy Byrne from off Dame Street in Dublin, jumped ship in Barcelona in order to join up. Many had been and were still members of the IRA. Dr O'Connor said the papers made clear that socialist republicanism in the 1930s was largely promoted by international communism. "It broke down mainly because of the contradiction in communist international strategy, which sought to push republicans to the left, on the one hand, and have the Communist Party of Ireland displace the republican movement on the other." The records have gone on display at Queen's University Belfast.

Built with the help of Protestant worshippers, St Patrick's Catholic Church in Belfast has stood witness to 200 years of the city's turbulent history. John Monaghan reports on plans for its bicentenary celebrations.
A HISTORIC Belfast city centre church has revealed plans to celebrate a very special anniversary.
A church was first built on the site of St Patrick's on Donegall Street in 1815 to accomnodate an influx of Catholic workers into the city. And, as the population continued to grow, a new building was constructed and consecrated in 1877. The second oldest Catholic church in Belfast, plans to mark the bicentenary of St Patrick's include a Mass to be celebrated by Down and Connor Bishop Noel Treanor, a dinner dance in the Titanic Suite, and a pilgrimage to Rome. Historian and author Eamon Phoenix is also due to give a talk about the parish at Belfast City Hall on March 9, while a lecture by Anne Stewart from the Ulster Museum on April 20 will discuss the life and works of painter Sir John Lavery, who was baptised in St Patrick's. Sir John was the creator of the famous 'Lakes of Madonna' typtich painting which is displayed in the beautiful interior.
'In 1941 the parish suffered enormous losses as a result of the Nazi bombings. Then in the 1970s there were events such as the McGurk's Bar bombing and the Shankill butchers were operating. There has been a lot of suffering for the parishioners – Fr Michael Sheehan.
Parish priest Fr Michael Sheehan, who will talk about the history of the parish on the religious satellite channel EWTN next month, said the foundations of the church had "stood throughout some of the main points in Irish history". "The first parish records we hold date back as far as 1798, (The year of the United Irishmen) before the church was even built, and contain baptisms and weddings which probably took place in St Mary's in Chapel Lane," he said. "In 1941 the parish suffered enormous losses as a resuslt of the Nazi bombings. Then in the 1970s there were events such as the McGurk's Bar bombing and the Shankill Butchers were operating. There has been a lot of suffering for the parishioners." In recent years the church found its3lf at the centre of a parading dispute, after tensions in the area were raised by sectarian music played outside its doors by a loyalist band during a July 12 march.
But with around a quarter of the funds raised for the original building by the Presbyterian community, Fr Sheehan said that he hoped to present gifts to other churches to recoginise the cooperation between various congregations which led to the parish's birth. "The bicentenary provides us with the opportunity to acknowledge the generosity of our Christian brothers and sisters who helped us build the church," he said. "We would also appeal to anyone with old photos of the parish to donate to our collection which we are preparing". Built in the Romanesque style of different coloured sandstone, another distinctive feature of the church is the addition of a columbarium for the interment of ashes. However, restoration work requried to the building – at a total cost of £1.3 million – has been hampered by delays in funding from outside agencies. "We were expecting around £300,000 from the Northern Ireland Environment Agency, however they have stalled any decision on funding for the past year.
'The bicentenary provides us with the opportunity to acknowledge the generosity of our Christian brothers and sisters who helped us build the church – Fr Michael Sheehan.
And the Heritage Lottery Fund had approved over £200,000 but won't release their funds until we get the sufficient money elsewhere to finish the work," the parish parish priest said. Finances have also prevented the parish from fully digitising its invaluable archive of records from 1798 to the 1940s, after Fr Sheehan was quoted a figure of £98,000 to complete that task. "We stopped allowing people to view the archives themselves as some people were ripping out pages from these old documents. People can view the records at PRONI (Public Records Office), and we can still do the issuing of cirtificates." A fire in October 1995 devastated St Patrick's but following repairs it was officially reopened two years later by Bishop Patrick Walsh. Today it continues to attract a mix of parish residents, former parishioners who moved away, and city centre workers – as well as many tourists. The church either holds or owns a number of relics and shrines, including St Anthony of Padua and two relics of St Patrick, amongst them a small piece of bone taken from St Patrick's burial site in Downpatrick.

Building's link to 1916 Easter Rising hero Patrick Pearse
THE building of St Patrick's Church bears a link to another famous Patrick in Irish history.
The altar and statue of St Patrick above its door were carved by the father of Patrick Pearse, one of the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising. James Pearse was born in London in 1839 and upon settling in Ireland founded a stonemasonry firm in Dublin, Pearse and Sons. Commissioned to carry out work at St Patrick in 1877, it is with a certain irony that various historians have attested to James's atheism. Such was the cynicism around the sincerity of his religious views, according to the magazine History Ireland, that in 1883 James Pearse is said to have written to Archdeacon Kinnane of Fethard maintaining that his conversion to Catholicism, which occurred when married to his first wife, was genuine. However, the report notes "there is evidence to suggest that he may have published anti-religious free-thought pamphlets under the pseudonym 'Humanitas'". Despite openly criticising the Catholic Church and setting up schools outside the church's control, Patrick Pearse, pictured above, is generally believed to have held stronger religious views than his father. James Pearse died in September 1900 while staying with his brother in Birmingham. The firm he created, Pearse and Sons, was wound up a decade later.

"Well you learn somthing new every day….
THEY came as slaves: human cargo transported on British ships bound for the Americas. They were shipped by hundreds and thousands and included men, women, and even the youngest of children.
Whenever they rebelled or even disobyed an order, they were punished in the harshest ways. Slave owners would hang their human property by their hands and set their hands or feet on fire as one form of punishment. Some were burned alive and had their heads placed on pikes in the marketplace as a warning to other captives.
We don't really need to go through all the gory details, do we? We know all too well the atrocities of the African slave trade.
But are talking about African slavery? King James VI and Charles I also led a continued effort to enslave the Irish. Britain's Oliver Cromwell furthered this practice of dehumanizing one's next door neighbour.
The Irish slave trade began when James VI sold 30,000 Irish prisoners as slaves to the New World. His Proclamation of 1625 required Irish political prisoners to be sent overseas and sold to English settlers in the West Indies.
By the mid 1600s, the Irish were the main slaves sold to Antigua and Montserrat. At the time, 70% of the total population of Montserrat were Irish slaves.
Ireland quickly became the biggest source of human livestock for English merchants. The majority of the early slaves to the New World were actually white.
From 1641 to 1652, over 500,000 Irish were killed by the English and another 300,000 were sold as slaves. Ireland's population fell from about 1,500,000 to 600,000 in one single decade.
Families were ripped apart as the British did not allow Irish dads to take their wives and children with them across the Atlantic. This led to a helpless population of homeless women and children. Britain's solution was to auction them off as well.
During the 1650s, over 100,000 Irish children between the ages of 10 and 14 were taken from their parents and sold as slaves in the West Indies, Virginia and New England. In this decade, 52,000 Irish (mostly women and children) were sold to Barbados and Virginia.
Another 30,000 Irish men and women were also transported and sold to the highest bidder. In 1656, Cromwell ordered that 2000 Irish children be taken to Jamaica and sold as slaves to English settlers.
Many people today will avoid the Irish slaves what they truly were: Slaves. They'll come up with terms like "Indentured Servants" to describe what occurred to the Irish. However, in most cases from the 17th and 18th centuries, Irish slaves were nothing more than human cattle.
As an example, the African slave trade was just beginning during this same period. It is well recorded that African slaves, not tainted with the stain of the hated Catholic theology and more expensive to purchase, were often treated far better than their Irish counterparts.
African slaves were very expensive during the late 1600s (£50 Sterling). Irish slaves came cheap (no more than £5 Sterling). If a planter whipped, branded or beat an Irish slave to death, it was never a crime. A death was a monetary setback, but far cheaper than killing a more expensive African.
The English masters quickly began breeding the Irish women for both their own personal pleasure and for greater profit. Children of slaves were themselves slaves, which increased the size of the master's workforce.
Even if an Irish woman somehow obtained her freedom, her kids would remain slaves of her master. Thus, Irish mothers, even with this new found emancipation, would seldom abandon their children and would remain in servitude.
In time, the English thought of a better way to use these women to increase their market share: The settlers began to breed Irish women and girls (many as young as 12) with African men to produce slaves with a distinct complexion. These new "mulatto" slaves brought a higher price than Irish livestock and, likewise, enabled the settlers to save money rather than purchase African slaves.
The practice of interbreeding Irish females with African men went on for several decades and was so widespread that, in 1681, legislation was passed "forbidding the practice of mating Irish slave women to African slave men for the purpose of producing slaves for sale." In short, it was stopped only because it interfered with the profits of a large slave transport company.
England continued to ship tens of thousands of Irish slaves for more than a century. Records state that, after the 1798 Irish Rebellion, thousands of Irish slaves were sold to both America and Australia. There were horrible abuses of both African and Irish captives. One British ship even dumped 1,302 slaves into the Atlantic Ocean so that the crew would have plenty of food to eat.
There is little question the Irish experienced the horrors of slavery as much (if not more, in the 17th Century) as the Africans did. There is also little question that those brown, tanned faces you witness in your travels to the West Indies are very likely a combination of African and Irish ancestry.
In 1839, Britain finally decided on it's own to end its participation in Satan's highway to hell and stopped transporting slaves. While their decision did not stop pirates from doing what they desired, the new law slowly concluded this chapter of Irish misery.
But, if anyone, Black or white, believes that slavery was only an African experience, then they've got it completely wrong. Irish slavery is a subject worth remembering, not erasing from our memories.
But, why is it so seldom discussed? Do the memories of hundreds of thousands of Irish victims not merit more than a mention from an unknown writer?
Or is their story to be the one that their English masters intended: "To completely disappear as if it never happened?
None of the Irish victims ever made it back to their homeland to describe their ordeal. These are the lost slaves; the ones that time and biased history books conveniently forgot.

Remember the Guilford For wrongly convicted on 5 October 1974, and Incarcerated for 15 years by British Injustice
On 5 October 1974, five people were killed and approximately 65 were injured after two 6-pound gelignite bombs went off in two pubs – – the Horse and Groom and the Seven Stars – – in Guildford, England. All but one of the deaths were British soldiers just returning from "duty" in the occupied North of Ireland.
In 1975, three men and one woman were convicted of the bombings and given life sentences based on coerced testimony and fabricated evidence. A 1977 appeal was rejected. However a second appeal was opened in 1987 with additional evidence of British collusion presented. Finally, in 1989, the convictions of the so-called "Guilford Four," having already spent 15 years in a British prison, were declared a gross miscarriage of justice by a Court of Appeal. Although three British police officers – Thomas Style, John Donaldson, and Vernon Attwell – were subsequently charged with fabricating evidence in their investigation of the Guildford bombings, those charges were, as expected, dismissed.
The film, "In the Name of the Father," (1993) is based on the plight of The Guilford Four, one of whom (Paul Michael Hill) would go on to marry Courtney Kennedy, the daughter of American President Robert Kennedy (assassinated in 1968), and a subseqent miscarriage of justice against the so-called "Maguire Seven," who were tried and convicted in 1976 for making the explosives used in the bombings; and whose charges were reversed in 1991.
Notably, four of the PIRA's six-member unit known as the "Balcombe Street Siege Gang," had claimed responsibility for the murders. When they were on trial in 1997 for charges related to the Balcombe Street siege, they asked their solicitors to "draw attention to the fact that four totally innocent people were serving massive prison sentences" for the Guilford blast as well as for three bombings in Woolwich, but they were never charged for those incidents.
On 6 June 2000, 25 years after the four young people were wrongfully convicted of the bombings, Tony Blair became the first person in authority to apologise for the Miscarriage of Justice.
Guildford Four: Paul Michael Hill, aged 21; Gerard "Gerry" Conlon (21); Patrick "Paddy" Armstrong (25); and Carole Richardson (18) at the time of the trial.
Maguire Seven: Anne Maguire, aged 40, her husband Patrick Maguire (42), their son Patrick Maguire (17); William Smyth, brother to Anne Maguire (37); Patrick O'Neill, a family friend (35); and Patrick "Giuseppe" Conlon, who died in prison never knowing they would be found innocent, brother-in-law to Anne Maguire (52) – father of the Guildford Four's Gerry Conlon, pictured above speaking of another Miscarrarge of Justice, The Craigavon Two.

Relatives call for answers over possible new Loughgall massacare evidence
Villiers issues certificate preventing attorney general from orrdering fresh inquests
RELATIVES of eight PIRA men and a civillian shot dead in cold blood and murdered by the British SAS have called on the British government to confirm if new evidence in the case has come to light.
The call came after representatives of the Loughgall Truth and Justice Campaign met with the North of Ireland Office officials. The meeting was called after Secretary of State Theresa Villiers issued a certificate taking a decision on ordering fresh inquests away from attorney general John Larkin. Citing "national security", the decision will now be taken by advocate general Jeremy Wright who is also the attorney general for England and Wales. Eight PIRA men were butchered and shot down by the SAS as they attacked Loughgall RUC station in Co Armagh in May 1987. Civilian Anthony Hughes (36) from Caledon in Co Tyrone was also murdered when he drove unknowingly into the pre-planned SAS ambush. The families of the victims believe no attempt was made to arrest the PIRA men and they were shot down in cold blood. The Irish News revealed in May that the British government apologised to the Hughes family and confirmed he was "wholly innocent of any wrongdoing". Mairead Kelly, whose brother Patrick was murdered, said grieving families now want to know if new material has emerged and if it had been made available to the police Historical Enquries Team, which has issued a report on the ambush. The campaigner said an NIO official "refused to deny the assertion put to him, that the secretary of state had founded her decision on new material". Mrs Kelly also said the families were told the material has been "returned to the state agencies it had originated from, one of which included the PSNI/RUC", leaving Mr Wright "in the dark". Relatives have claimed the decision to bypass Mr Larkin the Attorney General for the North of Ireland is another British cover-up and is "morally and politically wrong and we believe the only interest it serves is to protect the British government". They have also called on Ms Villiers to meet with them. The government has insisted the decision is being made by the appropriate law officer, independent of government and if you believe that you will believe anything, and watch the Pink elephants fly.

The Gallant Irregulars
Oh come in and sit down gentle Cathleen,
Now come in I have good news for ye,
Oh come and sit down my own darling,
Oh come in cried the old mban na tir.
Now the old women's face it grew brighter,
Oh Cathleen O'Connor she cried!,
Oh i put up the gallant irregulars in my little cabin last night.
Last night as the cocks they were crowing,
The loud knocking it came to my door,
Sure I knew it was the boys of the column returning,
From an ambush way down in Rossmore.
As I gazed threw the slit in the window,
Such a fine sight I never have seen,
For there were the gallant irregulars,
Who were wearing their jackets of green.
Well twas quickly they entered my cabin,
As they lay down their guns on the floor,
'Tis a cold night' remarked the young captain,
'To be crossing the sweet Galtymore',
'Would you fill us a glass and we'll pay you,
For we're traitors to england's proud queen,
And we heard it way over the mountain,
That you keep here a little shebeen'.
So twas gayly I filled up their glasses,
Here's a health to all rebels I cried,
And to all to those battle for freedom,
On the green hills of Ireland they die.
And here's to the gallant irregulars,
Who fought for their country and I.
'So cheer up my good hearted old woman,
And fill us a glass of poitin' asked the young captain.
And here's a health to the gallant Sean Treacy,
Sparky Breen and the brave Cathal Brugha,
And the noble and fearless Dinny Lacey,
Who died to give Ireland her due.

The Boys of the Old Brigade – Commandant Michael O'Brien KiA – RIP
The ambush party of the South Mayo Brigade IRA under the leadership of Tom Maguire, who on Tuesday, May 3 1921 launched a surprise attack on a detachment of RIC men and Black and Tans, inflicting severe losses on the enemy before making good their escape through the Partry mountains.
That engagement has gone into folk history as an unquestioned success for the IRA volunteers, whose battle achievements were exceeded only by their escape from certain capture and death by a force of several hundred British troops combing the Partry mountains in search of the rebels. In so doing, the Flying Column of the IRA claimed that it had been surrounded by up to 600 troops, but that the volunteers had fought their way out, inflicting up to 50 casualties.

Howie Glatter 2" TuBLUG Newtonian Laser Collimator
"The tuBlug is the answer for those who want to Barlow-collimate their primary from the back of the scope, but have a solid tube Newtonian, or can't be bothered to slide their shroud up. The tuBlug is a Blug (Barlowed laser plug), containing its own lens and shadow screen that fits within a side cut-out tube. The combination is known as this product - a tuBlug. Like the collimator self-Barlow attachment, it uses the Barlowed laser principle to project a silhouette shadow of the primary mirror collimation mark back onto its white screen, where the shadow is centered to collimate the primary."
Note to Customer: Unfortunately, the standard Blug which fits to the inner end of the focuser drawtube inside the telescope, can not used as this product - a tuBlug - because it must necessarily have a shoulder which will seat it squarely against the end of the drawtube. The shoulder will be larger than eyepiece diameter, which will prevent the Blug from fitting in the side cut-out tube."

10 Cartoons You Were Probably Watching on a Saturday Morning in 1985
Growing up, we looked forward to getting up on Saturday mornings and watching the lineup of original cartoons and even then targeted commercials and public service announcements that went along with the shows. Kids ruled Saturday mornings and the shows were wildly popular. So much so, that they used to have prime time shows previewing upcoming seasons of Saturday programming.
Those days are gone, but thankfully we have the Internet to help us relive them a bit. Here are 10 of the shows you were probably watching on a Saturday morning around this time in 1985.

10 Things You Didn't Know About Selfies
Apps are designed specifically for selfie-taking; phone accessories are being designed to help make it easier to snap a selfie; a selfie themed TV show is in the works; heck, they even teach classes now on how to take a better selfie.
People from 2 to 92 are going crazy taking pictures of themselves and then posting them everywhere on social media for their poor friends to give an obligatory like to. Seriously, I was at the train station yesterday and a couple behind me, easily in their 70's, snapped a pic with their phone and then told their senior friends that they wanted a selfie of their trip.
So how crazy is this selfie phenomenon? Here are some of the most interesting (and scary) selfie statistics I've stumbled across in my stat-seeking travels. Enjoy!

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 1
Re: Weight loss plateau
Posted By: Peter D'Adamo
In Response To: Re: PLATEAU (jean b)
This happens, and can be discouraging. However, if the person is metabolically locked up through the effect of insulin mimicking lectins from the old diet, the only real solution is to keep on the diet and let time continue to work on the problem. Look at it like this: any time spent on the diet while "plateaued" is effort invested in developing the ability to not yo-yo later on. So something IS actually happening, though externally it may not appear to be so.

Artist: Manchester Orchestra
Album: Mean Everything To Nothing
Genre: Rock
I could feel a hot one taking me down
For a moment I could feel the force
Fainted to the point of tears
And you were holding on to make a point
What's the point?
I'm but a clean man, stable and alone man
Make it so I won't have to try
The faces always stay the same
So I face the fact that I'm just fine
I said that I'm just fine
I remember, head down
After you had found out
Manna is a hell of a drug
And I need a little more, I think
Because enough is never quite enough
What's enough?
I took it like a grown man crying on the pavement
Hoping you would show your face
But I haven't heard a thing you've said
In at least a couple hundred days
What'd you say?
I was in the front seat, shaking it out
And I was asking if you felt alright
I never want to hear the truth
I want to hear your voice, it sounded fine
My voice, it sounded fine
I could feel my heartbeat taking me down
And for the moment, I would sleep alright
Invading with a selfish fear
To keep me up another restless night
Another restless night
The blood was dry, it was sober
The feeling of audible cracks
And I could tell it was over
From the curtains that hung from your neck
And I realized that then you were perfect
And my teeth ripping out of my head
And it looked like a painting I once knew
Back when my thoughts weren't entirely intact
To pray for what I thought were angels
Ended up being ambulances
And the Lord showed me dreams of my daughter
She was crying inside your stomach
And I felt love again
He said in an interview that it was about a dream he had where his pregnant wife was killed in a car accident. Google it.
your all stupid. its about a guy who is on drugs and the girlfriend is trying to make him stop. she didn't want her daughter to grow up that way so she hung herself and killed her and the baby. it had nothing to do with a car crash or a hospital.
is it about her killing herself or car crash? cause it says "curtain hanging from her neck"
On Mean Everything to Nothing's seventh track, the standout "I Can Feel a Hot One," the singer recalls a dream involving a car crash that takes his wife's life.
"The way that song is written is, in the first half I'm basically just describing touring and kind of my relationship with God and my wife," he explains. "And the end is about this dream I had about us being in the van and getting sideswiped and hit by a huge truck. I dreamed my wife was pregnant at the time and I lost her. But this life was inside her, and in some weird way I was able to celebrate that there was some new life coming with one ending."
My friends brother produced this group. Actually it's about a guy with a drug addiction and he's driving with his pregnant girlfriend and gets in a car crash.He survives and she doesnt but shs's carring his daughter and he is carring the guilt of killing her.
I think its about a man who used to be on drugs but is now sober he recently stopped using and thats why they hadnt talked in awhile, and he was rushing his wife/girlfriend to the hospital cause she was going to have his baby but the car crashed and she was holding onto her life but died and the abulance came and saved the daughter crying inside her stomach.
I abslutely love this song and the mystery of it's lyrics!
I think the meaning can be different to everyone, but I see it like this.
He is in love with this girl and she's pregnant from him, and despite her flaws he can't contain his feelings. He tries to nurture and take care of her but she's addicted to drugs and despite their efforts, can't stay clean. eventually he gives her the ultimatum, a choice between him and the drugs. the sad end is that she chooses the drugs over her love. As well as slowly killing the baby inside of her by the dryg abuse. This is just my idea, but it seems to fit.

Hi All,
Wanted to invite you to check out my new website, www.historicalhorse.com. I post photos and stories from the equestrian past daily. The idea came from an old photo of my grandfather jumping his horse, Bowie, at a show in the 60s. I got to thinking there must be countless photos stashed away in the attics of horse-crazy folks like me, and amazing stories of the horses and people depicted in them. Why not create a communal, historical photo album, so to speak? No better way to preserve equestrian history that hearing the story straight from the horse's (and rider's) mouth!
Please check it out, let me know what you think, and preserve a piece of equestrian history by submitting some photos of your own!
PS - We're on Facebook, too: Historical Horse Facebook

Yesterday Kamala Harris, California's Attorney General, issued Privacy on the Go: Recommendations for the Mobile Ecosystem. The report and recommendations are intended to encourage app developers and others in the mobile ecosystem to consider privacy at the beginning of the design process, and to provide detailed suggestions for providing notice of privacy practices.
The recommendations do not have the force of law, but their publication is the latest message from the Attorney General that privacy is at the top of her agenda. California leads the country with the number of privacy laws, and Attorney General Harris has interpreted California's Online Privacy Protection Act as requiring mobile apps that collect personal information to have a privacy policy. In 2012 she sent letters to approximately 100 mobile app developers and companies that were not in compliance with the California Online Privacy Protection Act and gave them 30 days to post a conspicuous privacy policy. A few months later, she filed the state's first mobile privacy enforcement action against a mobile app developer for failing to provide a privacy policy. Earlier in 2012, she announced a Joint Statement of [Privacy] Principles with the companies whose platforms comprise the majority of the mobile app market (Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, and Research In Motion), and she announced the creation of the Privacy Enforcement and Protection Unit.
Privacy on the Go: Recommendations for the Mobile Ecosystem
Most of the recommendations are directed to mobile app developers, but there are also recommendations for others in the industry, including hardware manufacturers, operating system developers, mobile telecommunications carriers, and advertising networks.
A recurring theme in the recommendations is to "minimize surprises to users from unexpected privacy practices." Privacy on the Go recommends that (1) mobile apps avoid collecting personally identifiable data from users that are not needed for an app's basic functionality, and (2) app developers supplement a general privacy policy "with enhanced measures to alert users and give them control over data practices that are not related to an app's basic functionality or that involve sensitive information." Such enhanced notice and control might be provided through special notices that are delivered in context and "just in time." For example, operating systems that use location data can deliver a notice just before collecting the data and give users an opportunity to allow or prevent the practice. The report also provides a checklist for building privacy into app development.
The following are some of the more significant recommendations.
Recommendations for App Developers:
Recommendations for App Platform Providers:
Recommendations for Mobile Ad Networks:
Recommendations for Operating System Developers:
Recommendations for Mobile Carriers:
Attorney General Harris is also participating in the multi-stakeholder process facilitated by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to develop an enforceable code of conduct on mobile app transparency. The next NTIA meeting will be on January 17.
For more information about these new mobile privacy recommendations or other privacy topics, please contact Ieuan Jolly, Michael Thurman or Brian Nixon.

Why would you think otherwise ?
These claims say more about KP than PA
But you don't know either of them, you dont know what theyd do or what they have done - or whats real or not. All people have to go on here is something thats been carefully constructed. Even the kids know they are on TV when the red lights on ...
it's not real
I'd so love their thing to go to court so the real truth came out, but the fact is - it would ruin things for both of them, so they aren't that stupid.

Beca (Kendrick) arrives at Barden University and is cajoled into joining The Bellas, one of the college's singing troupes. Now she just needs to break the group's losing streak and help them start winning.
Browse more images »
The music side is really the less interesting area. It's not that all the cast don't sing very well, nor that the arrangements aren't slickly and catchily produced; it's just that choreographing pop hits as a large group is always going to seem a little dweeby. But they're still plenty of fun, bopping along nicely and building to the big finale, spiced up by Elizabeth Banks and John Michael Higgins as competition commentators à la DodgeBall.
Much more exciting is everything in-between, which is a true ensemble comedy. Anna Kendrick, who yet again hits just the right note between pithy and chummy, is splendid as the girl baffled by the weird politics of her new school. But the spotlight is not purely hers. Skylar Astin's love interest is much more interesting than the standard talking six-pack. Anna Camp and Brittany Snow are stompily Valley-ish as the heads of the group. And Rebel Wilson's Fat Amy — she calls herself that so bitches won't do it to her behind her back — steals scenes shamelessly.
There's an occasional sense that a lot has been cut here in order to keep the film tight — a love-triangle is hinted at then dropped — but that's no complaint. The haphazardness is part of the charm, skidding from one loopy set-up to the next, but never losing sight of its story. You can go on the weird flights of fancy you want, as long as you have well-written characters to anchor it.
It's the kind of silly you can only get away with when your writing is very smart. A little bit odd and very, very funny.

No, Angie Carlson from Full Throttle Saloon is not pregnant. During the season 3, episode 7, Carlson said that she was pregnant. It was later announced in February 2012 that she had suffered a miscarriage due to a tubal pregnancy. Carlson married her husband, Mike Ballard in August 2012.
Ballard opened the Full Throttle Saloon in 1999 as the world's largest biker bar. It is only open for 10 days during the Sturgis Bike Rally. Carlson is the marketing director.

"When a pesticide's toxic effect takes more than four days to appear, it raises serious concerns about making regulatory decisions based on standard four-day tests for any organism," Relyea said. "For most pesticides, we assume that animals will die during the period of exposure, but we do not expect substantial death after the exposure has ended. Even if EPA regulations required testing on amphibians, our research demonstrates that the standard four-day toxicity test would have dramatically underestimated the lethal impact of endosulfan on even this notably sensitive species."
Andrew Blaustein, a professor in Oregon State University's nationally ranked Department of Zoology, who is familiar with the Pitt study, said the results raise concerns about standards for other chemicals and the delayed dangers that might be overlooked. Some of the frog eggs the Pitt team used had been collected by Blaustein's students for an earlier unrelated experiment, but he had no direct role in the current research.
"The results are somewhat alarming because standards for assessing the impacts of contaminants are usually based on short-term studies that may be insufficient in revealing the true impact," Blaustein said. "The implications of this study go beyond a single pesticide and its effect on amphibians. Many other animals and humans may indeed be affected similarly."
Tadpoles in the Pitt project spent four days in 0.5 liters of water containing endosulfan concentrations of 2, 6, 7, 35, 60, and 296 parts-per-billion (ppb), levels consistent with those found in nature. The team cites estimates from Australiawhere endosulfan is widely usedthat the pesticide can reach 700 ppb when sprayed as close as 10 meters from the ponds amphibians typically call home and 4 ppb when sprayed

What's in a development architecture?
I've had this posed at several customers where no set practices are evident. More often than not an organic development process is adhered to. Regardless of SDLC methodology a development architecture I propose will industrialize your application with many benefits (not least of which is demystifying what those pesky developers actually do).
The Microsoft Software Development Centre at North Ryde has an exploratory outfit and model that implements a standard development environment for guaranteed results.
I propose the following simple development architecture items that need identifying:
(Ill post a presentation on this topic later):
Development activities that lead to an application secure by design
Activities that lead to a collaborative development environment (e.g. work item allocation and reviews). These are manual and automated processes off the developer's machine
Practices that the individual should during development (on their own machine) be applying to align with the team (e.g. backups, testing) . This should be documented and handed down as gospel to new and old developers alike
This addresses the question of what does the development need to start development? There should be a comprehensive list of steps outlining the base configuration for development for each of the applications being developed.
This refers to a standardisation, a list, of accepted tools that can be used for the job at hand. Uniformity will assist in reproducing the same results with the same development enhancements.
Outcomes of a successful Development Architecture:
Ultimately the same product could be developed without a development architecture but it would be incur more cost in development (getting the product out the door), maintenance (the ability to apply change requests), support (identifying and resolving problems) and reparability (the cost of fixing a defect).
If you don't industrialize your application development process there be too much product being returned to base, or costs pushed elsewhere to enforce quality.

Is bullying prevalent in Austin Public Schools?
View Results
the "not at all" votes are the bullies, the "somewhat" ones are the kids that dont want to get beat up and the "very" are the parents.
Oh and "scary guy" didnt help anything… big waste of money and time.
Report comment
Is there a school anywhere where "not at all" is actually a true statement?
How much worse is it now that kids are so connected. Remove the cell phone, Facebook and Twitter. It is another case of the schools being forced to handle what parents should be taking care of.
bulling used to be a good way for kids to learn conflict resolution skills. Now days it seems to be differnt. Im not sure if the kids are weaker and lack the mental strength to deal with it or if the bullying has gotten worse…… I would guess that the bullying has gotten worse due to all of the on-line social things that kids are into these days.
Teach your kids to be strong, have vigor, honor, selfrespect. teach them to stand up for themselves and others and they will be fine.

Live peacefully in my oceanfront house Studio and B & B where I receive friends from around the world.
I like art in all its expressions, also to know the world and meet new people. I love music I have a large collection of music from around the world and all style.
I also like reading, surfing cult magazines, good cinema.
I'm not particularly a sportsman, I like swimming, chess and board games that require imagination.
I love food with a good conversation. Also sample fine wines and enjoy life.
I want to see and get to know new places, museums, galleries and attractions in places of interest. Love traveling.
I am a mature but very young in spirit person.
I keep my commitments and I like that others fulfill theirs, I think that's important in life along with the respect and solidarity with others.
Also think that good sense of humor must always be present in the life.
Life is a long thin silver thread, it's brilliant, beautiful but very fragile.
We must enjoy it and also take care of it.
