text: Editor's note: The following commentary is the opinion of the Board of Education of the Plattsburgh City School District, not of Denton Publications. The Plattsburgh City School District Board of Education issued the following response to comments made by WPTZ General Manager Paul Sands on Oct. 15. The following is the statement made in its entirety: On Wednesday, Oct. 15, Paul Sands, president/general manager of WPTZ, released an editorial which, unfortunately, requires a lengthy response. Mr. Sands' previous editorial concerning Plattsburgh City School District did not receive an official response from the District not because of any sense of agreement with his position, but because the district leadership discussed the matter and decided not to engage sensationalized, tabloid journalism. It is our belief that Mr. Sands' offensive, poorly-researched, and sometimes blatantly misleading statements are made simply to inflame emotions and illicit a response. And so the district previously elected not to respond to Mr. Sands tactics. Unfortunately, WPTZs current release is so very distasteful and inaccurate that we now feel obliged to react. Further, Mr. Sands releases have moved from off-the-cuff opinions (which are easily dismissed), to gross misrepresentation of facts something which we simply cannot ignore. A lengthy explanation of the districts position regarding the PHS field project was sent to Mr. Sands prior to his first editorial, and the information contained therein was largely ignored. Having no confidence in Mr. Sands willingness to accurately and fairly relay this response, this correspondence will be released to additional media outlets, civic groups, and WPTZ advertisers. Before reviewing the districts actions and illuminating Mr. Sands gross misrepresentation, an important disclaimer is warranted. Certain personalities and employees from WPTZ are constituents of Plattsburgh City Schools, and these individuals are active, valued members of our community. It is important to understand that the district leaderships position relative to WPTZ does not extend to all employees, but is instead specific to Mr. Sands and the direction in which he has taken the station. This lack of respect by our istrict leadership for Mr. Sands is no new sentiment. Rather, a sense that WPTZ is foremost a tabloid outlet has emerged gradually over time, but is most notably attributable to the stations distasteful and disrespectful coverage of tragedies involving our students and their families. The PHS Field Project Back to the topic at hand. We will first re-iterate the rationale for the fieldwork being undertaken at PHS, then deal more directly with Mr. Sands erroneous statements. The clearing of the trees behind PHS is indeed a continuation of site work which was begun in 2003 and which first involved the construction of the districts multipurpose turf field and track. This project was duly approved by district voters. As there is currently insufficient field space at PHS to accommodate all of the districts teams, many athletes must travel cross-city to practice and game sites. Any reasonable and rational person will recognize that students piling into cars to get to practices is a great liability concern. Thankfully, no tragedies involving PHS athletes have arisen as the result of the lack of facilities available at PHS. And we do not intend to wait for such to occur before pursuing solutions. Once complete, the PHS field expansion will allow for on-site athletics a safer approach, and a perfectly normal and reasonable expectation in New York State athletics. These fields will also be available for use by the community a civic benefit which should not be ignored. PCSDs facilities enjoy community use which, in our opinion, is likely unparalleled in this region. As our schools are all centrally located to the citys many neighborhoods (as opposed to rural schools, which may be more geographically isolated), we see families using our playgrounds, running/walking tracks, fields, etc. in incredible numbers. Mr. Sands accusations of poor neighborliness are insulting not just to district officials, but also to those who utilize the districts facilities. In a very real way, schools are the property of their taxpayers, and it is befitting that our taxpayers (who, as cited above, voted in favor of this PHS field work in the first place), should enjoy such wonderful resources. The new fields will expand the recreational opportunities available to our residents, and thereby enhance the already wonderful livability of our fine city. Of note, it appears as though Mr. Sands does not reside in the City of Plattsburgh and may therefore not be exposed to the communitys use of the Districts facilities. Finally, the districts notable athletic facilities should not only benefit our residents through direct use, but also through their assisting in attracting large-scale events. PHS is already home to many Section VII events (which attract spectators from around the region who then consume locally). But of most excitement is perhaps the current effort to attract the Empire State Games to our city a feat which surely would not be possible without the availability of the Districts athletic facilities. Environmental concerns We take umbrage with Mr. Sands depiction of this field expansion as environmental carnage. Admittedly, the loss of any tree is ecologically saddening, and not to be undertaken lightly. But all development that is necessary and wonderful in Plattsburgh (and most everywhere else!) once came at the expense of forested land. The site of the WPTZ station and its dishes was once treed. The site of each of our school buildings was once treed. So we would submit that the focus should not be preserving trees at the expense of worthwhile development, but in otherwise compensating for the resultant loss of foliage. A commitment was made by the district (and communicated to Mr. Sands and others) that an equivalent number of trees (we counted approximately 155 mature trees) would be replaced district-wide. This process has already begun, and is being undertaken in such a way that the resulting flora should be more environmentally advantageous than that which was lost. Rather than a predominantly white-pine grove, we have consulted with a local arborist and will use a broader selection of native species for our replanting. To date, acer rubrum (red maple), betula papyri/era (paper birch), and thuja occidentalis (white cedar) have all been planted. Further, these new trees will be spread across our schools, and many will be selected and strategically positioned so as to compliment seasonal solar needs and thereby reduce energy consumption (such as the sun-blocking trees already planned for Momot). To date, over 50 new trees have been acquired, and roughly half of these are already in the ground. As students are involved in almost everything we do, plans existed from the onset to include them in this effort. An athletic team, an environmental science class and girl scouts have already engaged in the planting process, and many, many more classes, clubs, and groups are on-board. The environmental education opportunities associated with this replanting effort are tremendous. Let us re-state that this planting initiative planned (and communicated) before the clearing of the PHS field site. The DEC has been involved at numerous steps. The superintendent and other administrators walked the grounds with a DEC Wildlife Technician before the clearing was begun, and a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is in effect. Curiously, much of the vocal dissent for this project is stemming from the residents of the Adirondack Lane condominiums. It is troublesome that residents of this development would criticize the districts field expansion and clearing of trees given that the sites of their own homes, parking lot and pool were carved of the very same forest. Further, in deference to both common logic and riverside erosion,the district left the Saranac riverbank treed, while the construction of the aforementioned condominiums cleared the site to rivers edge so as to create attractive water views. There are many, many fine residents of this development whom we hold in the highest of esteem, and it is unfortunate that we have been made to highlight the glaring hypocrisy of just a few. Lies, sensationalism, and false-reporting Finally, we feel compelled to address some blatant mistruths. Mr. Sands most recent editorial exposes him as being either a liar or an incompetent journalist. Boldly stated in his release about Mr. Short is the statement He has not met with neighbors. This is a lie. This is a provable lie. Mr. Short, other administrators, and board of education members have met with neighbors about this situation. Neighbors were met prior to the clearing, and during the clearing process. This irresponsible and false statement alone discredits Mr. Sands. Further retort is warranted by Mr. Sands suggestion that an e-mail response is somehow tantamount to bureaucratic stonewalling. Mr. Short elected to initially correspond with WPTZ via e-mail for two reasons: to make the process more convenient for the WPTZ reporter (not having to be fit in between the superintendents many long-scheduled meetings), and so as to create a documented paper trail to prevent Mr. Sands from misrepresenting any verbal comments ... a strategy which seems very wise in hindsight. Mr. Short, since coming to Plattsburgh, has constantly made himself available to reporters often those from WPTZ, and often on very short notice. We challenge Mr. Sands to demonstrate another superintendent who has been quoted and broadcast on WPTZ more than Mr. Short in the past two years. Superintendents everywhere are very busy, student-focused professionals, yet these people (Mr. Short in particular) continue to make themselves available to the media. Mr. Sands accusations of reporter-dodging are rebuked by his stations historic inclination towards interviewing Mr. Short. The actions of his own station invalidate his comments! And so we conclude with another statement of regret that this release was necessary at all. The district leadership initially endeavored to take the high road and not engage Mr. Sands inflammatory remarks. As his releases have moved from opinion to fabrication, we are no longer willing to maintain this silence. We have found the reporting of other media outlets on this topic to be at least fair and balanced. We remain committed to the field construction process and continue to view it as advantageous to the constituents we serve. While Mr. Sands comments are unfortunate, it is not to him whom we report. On Behalf of the Plattsburgh City School District Board of Education, Clayton Morris President

(AP) – Italian lawmakers failed on Thursday to elect a new president of the nation during a first round of voting.
President Giorgio Napolitano's term ends next month, and choosing his successor is considered a step toward resolving a political impasse that has blocked the formation of a new Italian government for nearly two months.
While the presidency is mostly ceremonial, the post has the power to dissolve Parliament and call a new national election.
Italian presidents, often widely respected and aimed at being above the political fray, can help foster national unity, which is now vital as politicians squabble over how to rebuild Italy's recession-mired economy.
During Thursday's vote by both houses of Parliament and regional electors, Franco Marini, a long-time union leader and former Senate president, finished first, but he fell 151 votes short of the two-thirds majority needed during the first three rounds.
A second round of voting will be held later Thursday.
Political parties have sparred for weeks over suitable candidates to succeed Napolitano, but center-left leader Pier Luigi Biryani and center-right leader Silvio Berlusconi had reportedly reached agreement over Marini's candidacy.
However Bersani's party is largely split.
Meanwhile, the third largest force in Parliament — the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement led by comic Beppe Grillo — was pushing for another presidential candidate, a constitutional law expert. Grillo's candidate, Stefano Rodota, finished second in the first round of voting.
If a fourth round of voting is required in the coming days, a new president could be elected with a simple majority.
The bickering over the presidency reflects the divisions that lawmakers have been unable to overcome since Italy's Feb. 24-25 national election, which saw the center-left win control of the lower Chamber of Deputies, but not the Senate.
Bersani has repeatedly rebuffed an offer from media mogul Berlusconi to form a `'grand coalition" government in a bid to stave off a new national election.
The new president will sound out political leaders to see who commands enough votes in Parliament to try to form the new government, a process that could take weeks.
Napolitano earlier asked Bersani to see if he could secure the necessary support, but Bersani came up short.

Yeah, it was about time.
And if this convinces any of you to support me financially via Patreon so I can stay alive while writing this, that'd be sweet too: https://www.patreon.com/Newbiespud (For some reason, Patreon is a banned word on FF.net. Weird.)
So what's happening? Well, since the previous portion of TI4 was something I wrote five years ago, I kind of wanted a stylistic separation between the writer I was then and the writer I am now. So what I wrote then is now "Book 1" with a little extra epilogue at the end, and everything forward will be "Book 2."
Starting now.
Book 1 Chapter 15 (Epilogue)
Book 2 Foreword
Book 2 Chapter 16
I still don't think I've really got time to do the play-by-post roleplaying thing, but that'll let me focus more on the main story's writing anyway, on top of all my other projects.
I'm back again.

Sustainable recovery requires long-term effort in tsunami zone
Q&A with Alex Jones, FAO's post-tsunami operations coordinator
What is your assessment of the recovery effort at the one-year mark?
Overall, the recovery is going well, but depending on the countries and on the level of damage, we are at different stages of recovery. If we look at Thailand where damage was severe but not overwhelming, they are well along the road to recovery. On the opposite end of the spectrum is the northwest coast of Aceh, Indonesia, where many areas are still in critical condition.
What are the biggest challenges FAO faces?
Our biggest challenge is the scale of the reconstruction effort. Millions of people were affected across seven countries. It was an unprecedented level of destruction. In Indonesia and Sri Lanka, around 100 miles of coastline were destroyed – not just a couple of areas or towns.
Half a million people in Indonesia are still living in temporary shelter. Entire communities were destroyed. The heavy loss of life means that the social backbone of these communities is gone. The professional categories have been decimated. The town of Calang on the west coast of Aceh, for example, lost 90 percent of its population. The town will be rebuilt; there are sufficient international resources. But they lost administrators, schoolteachers. Where do you start rebuilding communities?
Livelihoods are not just economic, they are social. These need to be nurtured. There has been a huge amount of attention and financial support, but this will end relatively soon. So there is a danger of a relief gap -- a gap in funding, activities, policy attention. Sustainable recovery requires a five- to ten-year effort.
The donor response to the tsunami emergency was unprecedented. How do you respond to people who criticize the pace of recovery?
There has been huge donor response, larger than for any emergency in recent history. In the immediate aftermath of the tsunami, people's basic needs for food, clothing and shelter were met quickly. But reconstruction takes a lot of time, not just money, and it can only go as fast as the local communities are willing and able to go.
Our role is supportive. We're not there to rebuild their country for them and then hand it over. Reconstruction has to be community-led, especially if you're going to get it right.
Shelter, in particular, is a very complex issue, which involves not only the buildings themselves but land ownership and land use issues, as well as environmental considerations.
FAO is not directly involved in shelter reconstruction, but it is providing assistance on the timber side through development of appropriate timber use policies and technical specifications for wood products and assistance in identifying legal sources of timber.
Is more money needed?
More money will always be needed. Overall damage from the tsunami is more than ten times what was pledged in assistance, and that doesn't include the value of lives lost. Investment is still needed to rebuild productive activities, to top up these countries' own activities and provide technical support. A year on, these communities need fewer blankets and more knowledge-based assistance.
With so many boats being built or donated, what is FAO doing to ensure their safety and to prevent overfishing?
FAO is responsible for the overall coordination of fisheries sector rehabilitation in Sri Lanka and Indonesia, in collaboration with local authorities. We warned as early as February about the danger of building up excess fishing capacity and the potential environmental risks from inappropriate boats and gear.
What we are focusing on now is the quality of boats delivered and their appropriateness to local fishing practices. In Indonesia, FAO has trained 140 boat builders and is supplying 200 boats. We are also setting vessel safety standards, with the help of a naval architect working there now, and establishing vessel registration systems.
Fishing gear is also important, but engines and gear are often overlooked by those providing boats, even though they represent around 40 percent of a boat's total cost. So we're supplying engines and gear for a lot of boats.
FAO has been supporting sustainable fisheries management for decades, and we will continue to provide assistance in this area.
What, if anything, has the international humanitarian community learned from this disaster?
Preparedness for something like this is virtually impossible, but there has to be a faster response. For this to happen, funds need to be available within 30 days of the disaster, not six months, as is usually the case. So there is a need for the creation of a well-financed global emergency fund so that aid agencies have sufficient resources to begin work immediately in the wake of disasters like this.
The overall message is a positive one. A large amount of attention, funding and adequate human resources to address the needs of these countries has resulted in exceptional performance to date. And the ability of the governments themselves to take the lead has been very strong.
According to a recent FAO/WFP assessment, markets are functioning relatively well, in spite of the damage to economic infrastructure. Rice yields in many areas are back to pre-tsunami levels, and although not all land has been brought back into cultivation, Aceh is still producing a rice surplus, with the net surplus going to other regions of the country.
Some areas, like the west coast of Aceh, will be a disaster zone for years to come. But in other areas, the picture looks much better.

Natalia Pogonina has recently been interviewed by the blog StartUpTown:
How did you enjoy the Chess Olympiad and why didnt you play every round?
Hi! I have enjoyed Tromso a lot, from the friendly people to beautiful sceneries and the chess fever which is now taking place in Norway. Observing chess being broadcast on national TV every day for hours, plenty of chess merchandize in the shops and chess boards being offered at any bar was definitely pleasant for me. However, the organization of the Chess Olympiad itself left a lot to be desired. I dont want to go into details, but it is enough to point out that two chess players/participants died during the Olympiad2014. This is very sad.
I guess you were referring to a particular day when I didnt play, right? Its up to the captains to decide which line-up to choose for a particular match. This time I participated in 7 out of 11 rounds, although I would have certainly liked to play more and was always eager to compete.
Obviously, it was amazing to win the Chess Olympiad for the third time in a row. We have a fantastic team, and I am happy that we managed to perform so well.

Notably, Dmitry Peskov is the Head of the Board of Trustees of the Russian Chess Federation. Other members are elite politicians, businessmen, artists, media moguls, et al.
President of the Russian Federation. Notice by telegraph. Moscow, Gogol Boulevard, 14/1, Russian Chess Federation.
To Russian women's chess team: O.A. Girya, V.E. Gunina, A.K.Kosteniuk, E.A.Lagno, N.A.Pogonina
Dear Olga Alexandrovna, Valentina Evgenyevna, Alexandra Konstantinovna, Ekaterina Alexandrovna, Natalia Andreevna!
I heartily congratulate you on your triumph at the international Chess Olympiad in Tromso.
I am happy that our national team won the most prestigious cup in the chess community for the third time in a row, thus upholding the victorious traditions of our chess school. This remarkable achievement is a well-deserved reward for your mastery, self-control and a truly fighting spirit. I wish you further successes and all the best!

|Keep It Simple, Stupid
Re: My Perl code can be understood by...by Joost (Canon)

|Need Help??
I posted "an experienced perl programmer", but I know there are cases where a lot of experienced perl programmers would probably do a double take. I try to code mainly for clarity, but that does not mean I stay away from "complex" techniques just because someone reading it might not know the ins and outs.
I definitely don't hesitate to use closures generating closures that get combined into another closure (for instance) if that's the "best" way to solve the problem. I would hate to solve that kind of problem using only "easy to understand" primitives.
What I mean to say is: some times, problems can only be easily solved (and understood) using relatively "obscure" techniques. If understanding the resulting code relies on the viewer knowing the technique, then that's probably still better than using "simple" techniques in a convoluted way which no-one will be able to understand.

We have many resources to help you find your groove.
Students like Jalen Malik Ladd are one of them.
During his time at Oregon State, Ladd specialized in getting lost students unlost. In addition to working toward a double major in kinesiology and innovation management, the 2017 graduate dedicated himself to helping other students find their way.
When asked where people can access resources, he jokes, "I am the resources."
Ladd remembers well how he felt when he first moved down from Portland to start college.
"When I was in my first year here, I was kind of lost and floating around. And it's always rewarding to see those people and be able to just grab them and ground them. It's o.k. I'm here. You're here. We'll both make it through!" he says.
Ladd was a peer ambassador for the College of Public Health and Human Sciences. Practically, this meant setting up advising appointments, hosting workshops about class selection and major changes and providing individualized advice from a student perspective. You could also find Ladd out around campus taking prospective students on tours, telling them about getting involved and living on campus. He liked to point people to the Student Experience Center as well.
"If you have anything you want to do on campus, go there," he says.
In addition to campus resources, Ladd knows the value of family support and guidance. Even with a Pell Grant, he says it was a bit of a question how he could afford to keep going to college. Every year he sat down with mom and two older sisters on January 1 to figure out finances and hash out the FAFSA. This team effort got him through.
His family and friends were also the fuel he needed to make his dream of studying abroad in Australia a reality. He started a GoFundMe online campaign to help him finance the plane ticket and the cost-of-living hike for a semester in Sydney. The rest was already paid for through a direct exchange where his tuition dollars took him to the University of Sydney and an Australian student came to Corvallis.
Australia was an adventure — from scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef, to feeding wild kangaroos, to living near the spectacular Sydney Opera House, to hands-on learning opportunities like measuring an athlete's glucose levels before and after exercise. Ladd learned even from just walking the streets and hearing the diverse languages spoken by international visitors and residents. He credits studying abroad with expanding his worldview. But Sydney is just one of almost 200 international experiences Oregon State offers. The university has people on all 7 continents and 72 countries.
Whether it is on campus, on-the-job or on-the-go Down Under, Ladd used every resource available to him to chart his path through college and beyond. What's more, he's taken what he's learned and brought it back to new students as they adjust to university life.
But even though Ladd has graduated, we've got you. Our campus is chock-full of students just like him who will guide you where you're going and resources for everything you may need. Just ask.

Mr. David Davis (Haltemprice and Howden): It is a pleasure and privilege to follow the hon. Member for Stockton, South (Ms Taylor), who is the new chairman of the all-party group on adoption. I am the group's treasurer, which may explain why it has no money.
A number of right hon. and hon. Members have talked about giving the Bill a cautious welcome; I shall give it an uncautious welcome. It is an extraordinarily important Bill which, as the Minister said, comes once in a generation. I have objections to the Bill's timing--I would have liked it to come forward earlier. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Meriden (Mrs. Spelman). If her private Member's Bill, down for debate this week, helped to provoke the Minister--good. I know what it is like in Whitehall. As the Minister pointed out, I have been a Whip and I know that it is difficult to get Bills into the system, so if my hon. Friend helped in the process, that is wonderful because it means that we have a Bill that comes once in a generation, and that is worth having.
We can all pick holes in the Bill. I could pick a number of holes in the drafting--parts of it do not agree with other parts, but that will be sorted out, one hopes, in the special Select Committee. I also have some arguments about strategy, but they are not so much iron-clad as probing. Whatever one thinks of the detail, if the 58,000 children in care knew about the Bill, they would probably all be cheering, if not for themselves then for their successors.
The Bill's success will rely on resolving a number of major problems--almost paradoxes--of children in care. "In care" is a lovely phrase--it sounds warm, comfortable and beneficial. In practice, for most children, going into care is an awful prospect. We should recognise that. Indeed, the legislation was triggered, at least in one respect, by the Waterhouse report on abuse by paedophiles in north Wales. We know that that was not unique--there have been other organised abuse rings in other homes. We also know of non-sexual abuses such as pindown, and related issues. The fact is that vulnerable youngsters sometimes attract evil people, and we have to protect them.
This tale of neglect varies enormously according to the local authority. The hon. Member for Wakefield (Mr. Hinchliffe) said that most social workers do a fabulous job of looking after the children, and others, in their care. However, this sector is often the Cinderella of social work. It is underfunded and under-resourced, and often the youngest and least experienced social workers do the job. What is more, they are often poorly controlled, resulting in many poor outcomes. For example, as my hon. Friend the Member for Meriden said, a lot of children are moved many times. That leads to a very poor outcome for them.
The starkest example that I have come across was the case a couple of years ago of Aliyah Ismail, the 13-year-old child who died from a drugs overdose, having taken up prostitution to feed her habit. That happened while she was in care. There is no excuse for that. There is even less excuse for the fact that that young child had been moved between homes 60 times in her life.
When I wrote about that sort of issue, I received a number of letters from people such as directors of social services departments and professors. They contained many attacks and might as well have been signed "Disgusted of Islington" in green ink. They said that the
More generally--the Minister touched on this point--typical youngsters in care face a disproportionate prospect of homelessness, crime, jail and drugs dependency and, for girls, pregnancy. Some 0.5 per cent. of the country's population is in care. They make up 22 per cent. of the prison population, and 39 per cent. of those prisoners are under 21. One in three of the young people sleeping rough in London has come out of the care system, and one in four children in care over 13 does not attend school, so "in care" is at best a paradox and at worst a singular misnomer.
This is not due simply to the failure of the individual social service departments and the social workers. As the chairman of the all-party group on adoption, the hon. Member for Stockton, South said, institutions cannot replace families. Cold charity, however well intended, cannot replace the stable, loving homes that adoption provides. That is why adoption, rather than council care, is the preferred option and, quite rightly, the main thrust of the Bill.
The second problem, or paradox, relating to children in care is that the longer youngsters are in care, the harder it is to get them out of care. It is very simple, and an obvious characteristic. The absence of parental love is psychologically damaging and destabilising. Studies have been made of children in their teens who continue in the care system and those who are adopted in their early teens--the most difficult group. They show clearly that all of them, pretty much, have some degree of psychological damage. Those who are adopted at that point are not instantly cured--we should not kid ourselves about that--but, generally, they stabilise and their decline is arrested.
Those who stay in care, on the other hand, become worse. Statistics mean nothing, but they are about 50 per cent. worse off in terms of the conditions that they suffer from. We, and the Government, must break that vicious circle. Difficult children, often from cruel backgrounds, go into care, the very fact of which makes them more difficult and harder to place. The longer that goes on, the worse it all becomes.
The test of the Bill will lie in whether it can break those problems by favouring adoption. We know that adoption leads to better results. Adopted children, when they are adopted young, enjoy outcomes as good as or better than those for children from natural families. There is a 20 per cent. failure rate, as measured by break ups, but that failure rate is near zero among the under-fives, and nearer 50 per cent. for the over-10s.
Speed therefore matters more than precision, particularly in the selection of parents. Speed matters more than almost anything. I shall offer a crude example of a decision that social workers almost never have to make, but if one had to choose between having an imperfect parent quickly and a perfect one two or three years down the line, I would go for the former. After all, I am an imperfect parent myself, as I am sure my children would agree.
Much lip service is paid to that point about speed. In her response to the Bill, Moira Gibb, the president of the Association of Directors of Social Services, said:
Mr. Brazier: My right hon. Friend makes such a powerful case that I am embarrassed to interrupt him. Surely, however, we must put a stop to endless statements by people such as Moira Gibb about the age profile of children in care. We should be discussing the age profile of children at the time they came into care, which, in many cases, was four, five or six years earlier.
Mr. Davis: My hon. Friend is right. I shall cite for him some statistics about young children, for which I am grateful to the Adoption Forum.
Mr. Hinchliffe: Will the right hon. Gentleman give way first?
Mr. Hinchliffe: The right hon. Gentleman has not yet mentioned the process of returning a child from care to his or her natural family. Indeed, that issue seems to have been sketched over generally in this debate. As one who worked in social services, I can say that one of the most difficult decisions to take is whether to place a child back in his or her natural family environment. That is where the skill of the job comes in. Frankly, it is easier to have a child adopted than to face some of the tasks involved in returning a child to his or her natural family and to work with and support that family. Where does the right hon. Gentleman think the balance lies between those two things?
Mr. Davis: The hon. Gentleman is drawing me off to one side. One cannot deal with that point with statistics. One can only consider cases, and in those that I have examined, several futile attempts were made to reconstitute damaged families. In some cases, that went so far that it constituted institutional cruelty to the children involved as attempts were made to push families back together. They were pushed back into families in which they had been damaged--physically, in some cases--and they went back and forward like yo-yos between various homes. All that probably made it impossible for the children involved ever to form a serious bond with an adult.
Often, such action is taken with the best of intentions. Perhaps a young social worker wants to reconstitute a family and is challenged by the idea of doing so. The hon. Gentleman is right to say that it is tough to do that, but it is, in many cases, so tough that it is impossible. The hon. Gentleman was also right to say that that is one cause for the delays about which we have spoken.

As a Corporation or LLC operating in New York, you have many responsibilities. One of them is to make sure that you receive all of your paperwork efficiently from the state office, which may have several reasons to send you correspondence. To meet this need, many companies choose to have a New York Registered Agent.
Understanding New York Registered Agents
A Registered Agent is not required in New York, but it can help a company's business function more smoothly. The State of New York only requires a Service of Process address where paperwork can be mailed. However, if any of the service of process from New York is not handled promptly, there can be legal and financial repercussions.
Many companies are not that concerned about having a Registered Agent in NY. You may think that you are unlikely to receive service of process from New York, so you don't need to have anyone handle that paperwork for you. However, keep in mind that a service of process does not include only lawsuits or legal files. It can also include the following:
- Wage Garnishments
- Subpoenas for Records
- Official State correspondence and other business requests
Failure to properly handle these items can lead to serious consequences for your company. This is why many LLCs and Corporations choose to use a New York Registered Agent.
Choosing a New York Registered Agent
When you choose to receive your own paperwork, there are many concerns you can encounter. The first one is timeliness. Most official state correspondence needs to be answered promptly. If the mail is received with your other mailings and advertisements, it's easy for it to be overlooked. If you miss the deadline on a subpoena, garnishment, or legal request, there can be serious consequences for your company.
A second concern is reliability. As you know, there are many forms, fees, and other statutory requirements that must be followed to maintain your good standing in New York. If state paperwork is lost in the shuffle of your regular daily mail, you may not see it at all. Worse, a staffer may accidentally misplace or throw away an important renewal notice or update and you may not find out your company is out of compliance until it's too late.
As a result of these concerns, many companies choose to use a Registered Agent Service in New York, such as incorporate.com. With incorporate.com working as your Registered Agent in NY, you will never have to worry about lost or late paperwork relating to your state obligations. incorporate.com will forward your documents to you promptly, discreetly, and affordably.

Ever wanted that crazy item that never seems to appear on eBay? Well Ethan Troy-Barnes is here to help
In the past week I've realised something very distressing. My life on the internet is dreadfully boring. Only when tasked with writing about some sort of trendy website/internet phenomenon that I found interesting, did I realise how little I expand my horizons on the web. I use Facebook, YouTube, Wikipedia… I would say the list could go on, but that would be a lie.
I was originally going to write about this fantastic new thing called Twitter, but apparently everyone already knows about that. So, after asking my closest webophiles what's what, I decided Regretsy would be more apt.
Regretsy, neatly summed up by its tagline: "Where DIY meets WTF", is a site that showcases the weirdest creations on the web. It offers up a smorgasbord of the homemade, ranging from the amusing to the downright perplexing. It sources nearly all its content from the website etsy.com, which is a sort of eBay for handcrafts. However, as Regretsy does its best to point out, homemade is not always better made.
Regretsy's hand-picked delights include the brilliant Barrack Obama-themed bag of coffee beans, a gold sequin-covered dust mask and a 'Made to Order Real Leaf Toilet Seat', in which many a certain type of leaf are suspended. In the description, the seller asks: "Who wouldn't want to sit on 'The Pot-Pot'?!'' Classy, and a steal at only $75.
In addition, Regretsy houses some genuinely scary wares. A 'One Of A Kind Sculpted Realistic Baby Monkey Doll' is probably the creepiest thing I came across, but it's doubtless mild compared to what a more thorough perusal of the site would reveal.
Also very funny is the fact that most of the oddities on show carry absurd price tags. If you thought the 'Pot Pot' good value, you'll probably be very interested in the dust mask at a mere $20!
As well as physical items, Regretsy also features 'WTF Alchemy Requests' – weird and wonderful requests made to the Etsy site – the best of which being one for matching Sister, Sister-style hats for someone's twin guinea pigs. In addition, there are also more abstract things for sale, such as the tragically comic person who promises to help you find new 'ideals', if you're having trouble thinking of your own 'ideals' for things to sell in your shop. But act fast: there's only one of these items in stock.
Regretsy is hilarious and often confounding. However, perhaps the best part of the site is that all revenue raised is donated to charitable causes – a great and, dare I say, virtuous way to kill some time on the internet.

President Barack Obama delivered remarks on the economy at Ivy Tech Community College in Indianapolis, Indiana and congratulated himself for lower gas prices at the pump.
"A lot of families are saving a lot of money at the gas pump. That is putting some miles on some folks cars," Obama said. "And — [laughter] You're welcome. [Applause]. Although I was telling someone the other day, at some point they will go back up. Don't start–you know, going out there and ignoring the mileage when you're buying a new car. You have to keep looking for those savings."
In fact, the Saudis are keeping prices low to collapse shale oil business and protect market share. Also the new drilling is all on private lands not public lands.

Cello Renda: I will beat Samuels
By Lee Collier
Renda aiming to put right loss against Samuels
Late in 2009 boxing fans witnessed the three rounds of end to end fighting between Peterboroughs Cello Renda and Newports Paul Samuels. Renda had Samuels down in the first round before Samuels stopped Renda on his feet when referee Terry OConnor stopped the fight in the third round.
In the middle of the bout fans witnessed the unusual sight of seeing both fighters land left hooks which sent both fighters tumbling to the canvas. Speaking to Livefight.com, Cello Renda recalls the double knockdown.
It was mental, I took it in the next day watching it on TV, recalled Renda. It was kind of a flash knockdown for me. It wasnt a heavy knockdown and as you could see I was up straight away. If its a bad knock down you take the full 8 as it gives you the extra time to clear your head but it didnt affect me at all as I got up straight away.
I wondered why he was down although I thought I caught him as well as getting tagged myself, I saw the ref counting and thought he was going to count Samuels out but he just made the count.
Although Renda lost the fight he believes he learned enough about himself as a fighter to make sure there is no repeat this Friday when the pair face each other for the second time.
I had a few problems in the build-up that didnt help but its no excuse. I was supposed to box on the Wigan show two weeks after then I got told it was moved to Stoke so I lost 2 weeks training, which meant I had to lose weight faster, explained Renda. I also had an injury and couldnt do any sparring, couldnt really run or hit the bags so the preparation wasnt ideal.
Everything has gone according to plan this time. I had a bit of a bad night and sometimes as a boxer you have a bad night and have to take the positives from it. It really did upset me as its a fight as I know I should have won. I said straight away I wanted the rematch, Samuels is no mug, he has been in with good company, fighting for British and World titles so it will be a good fight to have for both of us.
In Rendas previous fight he blasted out Sam Horton within two rounds in a British title eliminator. The Peterborough fighter is keen to avenge the loss against Samuels and get back on with quest for Darren Barkers British title.
The Sam Horton fight was a British eliminator so wining that put me next in line for a British title shot, stated Renda. The Samuels fight was another fight to keep busy. When I get the win next week that I should have had in November it puts me back on track for getting the British title fight and then the Samuels fight will be old news.

Hipstamatic has come to Windows Phone 8 and, in particular, Nokia Lumia smartphones following a deal between the two companies.
Coming in the form of Hipstamatic Oggl, the new app also released by the developer for iPhone at the end of last week will allow people to apply different filters to their photos before sharing them on social networks like Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, Foursquare and Instagram.
Hipstamatic Oggl will offer a number of filters as well as tap into the new Oggl service from the company.
Tapping into that Oggl community, people will be able to see other the photos of people they follow. The app will also allow users to buy more effects and features.
The app may be seen by many as a stopgap while waiting for the more popular Instagram app for Windows Phone 8. However, Hipstamatic sees it as a major step in reintroducing the original favourite retro camera software to a new generation of phone users - those who want more social sharing aspects.
The new app will be available in June in time for the launch of the new Lumia 925.

For Casino Games there are generally three categories: Table/Card games, Video slot machines and a random number ticket game such as Roulette. The gaming machines such as the fun online casino video slot games are normally played by one player at a time and it does not require the involvement of casino employees. Random number games are based on the selection of random numbers and are normally computerized from a random number generator or other gaming software. Random number games can be played at a table, for example Roulette.
Our fun online casino games are all virtual which means the outcome of each game depends on the data produced by a random number generator. This also determines the outcome of the dice throws, the order of the cards in the card games and the results produced by the spins of a slot machine or a Roulette wheel. Random number generators make use of a set of mathematical instructions known as an algorithm to generate a long stream of numbers. This gives the impression of true randomness.

Hakaba Kitarou (Noitamina - January, 2008)
Since there's no thread yet for this anime, the most recent in Fuji's Noitamina series, I'd thought I'd start it by shamelessly stealing NeoSam's original announcement in the "New Announced Series" thread:
As NeoSam observes, this is yet another GeGeGe no Kitaro adaptation. It seems a curious choice for Noitamina which has generally offered original shows aimed at older audiences like Mononoke, Hataraki Man, Honey and Clover, and Nodame Cantabile. Nevertheless, given the quality of the series in the Noitamina block so far, I'll be giving Hakaba Kitarou a shot.
The first episode airs in Japan on January 10, 2008; hey, that's tomorrow!

Looking through the list of Noitamina shows on Wikipedia, I only see one that apparently has not been subbed -- Jyu Oh Sei. I can't find an entry for it here in the fansubbed/licensed/unaired forums, nor does it appear in the AS database as subbed or licensed. That's what led me to believe that someone will eventually choose to sub Hakaba Kitarou, though I can see reasons why that might not happen.
I'm still looking forward to seeing the rest of Moyashimon first anyway.
Edit: Well, I guess I just have to look harder. According to the Wiki entry for Jyu Oh Sei, it's licensed by Funimation. I still can't seem to unearth much discussion of it here on AS, though. It didn't seem to command its own discussion thread.

I think the thread might have been lost because of it's date
First episode was beyond what I wanted to see
Catchy OP and nice bg music (rain scene so far)
I'm sure that her (unsurprisingly) doing the ED will draw a bit of attention

Just few seconds into the first episode and already in love with the show. Will write more...
edit 1: The opening theme is funky. Very misleading. Understanding will dawn while viewing if I'm not making much sense at the moment.
edit 2:
Very enjoyable first episode. I don't want to give away anything other than a short description of the opening sequence:
Spoiler for episode 1 specific:
I know I'll be back for more next week.

I saw the screenshots for this and KNEW I had to watch it. Seeing as nobody's planning on subbing it from the sub wiki, I figured I might as well download the RAW.
This is pretty much my first experience with the series (I watched like... half an episode of the 2007 kids adaption) and my Japanese is pretty shakey, but I really enjoyed it. The whole "look" of the show is really amazing; just like watching a moving comic. Especially the crazy rainbow-colors on the backgrounds (the colorful skulls ) and that parchment effect over everything. The OP is so groovy that I've still got it playing on loop.
Since this is supposed to be only 11(?) episodes, I'm pretty sure I'm in for the whole thing. I just hope someone subs it eventually.

I'm wondering whether I should watch this or not, but can't be bothered just yet... I'll wait and hear what more of you guys have to say about it. (meanwhile I'll be very slowly catching up on none other than Oh! Edo Rocket. Yeah, finally.)

I decided I had to watch the raw for this even though I have no Japanese language skills just to see what it looked like. While it's not as psychedelic as Toei's work on Mononoke, it has a similar feel, especially the parchment-like sequences. I just hope someone chooses to sub this rather than releasing yet another version of a show like Spice and Wolf which already has five subbing groups working on it.
I've never seen any of the other versions of this story, either. Looks like waiting for this one was the right decision.
@wao - Knowing your tastes, you might like this better than Rocket.

Just watched ep.1. Wow. Awesome art, an ambiguous main character, nice music and voice acting, and surely dark stories... I'm sold.
Free screenshots for Kitarou goodness !
Wao, you should really really really watch this.
Aww, I hope some group (and possibly a good one) swiftly subs it so that more people get to know this series.

Okay guys, I'm sold. I'm not such a big fan of traditional Japanese stories but I'm going to try watching it before Thursday. Tomorrow I must ban myself from getting stuck on the PC but when I come back I'm going to see what you guys like about it.
Those screenshots also might've helped (I just hope Toei doesn't drop the ball)

Im really hoping someone subs this cuz Id love to know what is going on. Thankfully I was able to pick up some of it. But Ill be back next week as well!

Very few of us need a compelling reason to make ourselves eat chocolate. The taste and the momentary mood lift are enough to make it a treat that doesn't need a hard sell (but it's not the only mood-booster.
But if you aren't eating it consistently, you could be missing out on some of the most amazing health benefits of dark chocolate you never knew about, writes Will Clower, PhD, author of the new book Eat Chocolate, Lose Weight. "Given the fact that healthy cultures eat chocolate all the time and research has yet to show anything but confirmatory evidence about the health effects of high-cocoa chocolate," he says, "it seems logical that you should eat chocolate every day, like a delicious vitamin."
Of course, you have to eat the right chocolate—the candy bars in the grocery store checkout lane aren't going to cut it. You'll reap the greatest health benefits of dark chocolate with products that have 70 percent, or higher, cocoa levels.
So what are those great benefits? Aside from chocolate's reputation as an aphrodisiac and a momentary mood-booster, here are seven legitimate reasons you should be eating it every day.

Intership Navigation orders MAN Diesel simulator
The Intership Navigation Training Center (ISNTC) of the Philippines has signed an agreement with MAN Diesel for the installation of an ME-B simulator at its facilities in the Malate district outside Manila.
The order for the simulator comes less than six months after an Intership Navigation order for six MAN B&W 6S40ME-B engines. These will be built by STX in Korea with the first to be delivered towards the end of 2007. MAN Diesel is developing the ME-B simulator while work on the first ME-B engine progresses.
When the simulator is installed, the ISNTC will offer courses to both internal and external students. These courses will be held by two of the center's instructors who will receive a thorough grounding from MAN Diesel PrimeServ.
The ISNTC is no stranger to ME-engine training. This February saw the first course held at the ISNTC utilizing one of MAN Diesel PrimeServ's mobile ME-simulators.
Captain E.H. Adami of Intership Navigation noted that the ME-B simulator will also allow the center to conduct training for every ME-engine type.
"I believe it is the first time in engineering history that a simulator's development occurs in parallel with the building of the first actual engine," commented Captain Adami. "This is further proof of the deep, long-lasting cooperation between our two companies. It is a very innovative step by MAN Diesel, and one we very much appreciate."
Each year, more than 25,000 training units are taken by students at the ISNTC. These range from short, special courses to ISNTC's own, three-year, cadet-training courses. Approximately 100 students pass the cadet courses annually, half of whom are engineers. Some 15 percent of the 25,000 training units are taken by external students as the ISNTC caters for students from all over the Philippines.
