At the risk of beating a dead horse... I'd like to share my experience with beating these systems. I'm personally much more interested in Boston's integration of Israeli style interview tactics. I lived in the Middle East for a couple years and went through the borders on an almost daily basis, and several times through the Tel Aviv airport (Israel's only international airport). Israel doesn't use anything resembling our body scanners, and instead relies on brief interviews of every person flying to determine what additional screening will be necessary (all the way up to strip searching), supplemented with American bomb sniffing machines. Their security works. Were it not for the fact that I went through it so often, I wouldn't have been able to beat it.
You could imagine my surprise when on one of my most recent flights to/from (I can't remember which way) Boston I was treated to such an interview. I was caught off guard, but immediately recognized it as the identical setup. I quickly put on my "set off no alarms" interview demeanor and made it through fine. Frankly I hope this catches on. I would like to think of myself as something of a "getting through borders" professional, I've gotten through Israeli and American airports and onto planes with everything from a can of pepper spray to a live scorpion. You can scan my body (though I always opt out) and my bags all day, but sit me down for an interview and after long enough even the best person will crack if they are hiding something.
They lack the ability to resist their urges, lack inhibition, lack remorse, guilt, empathy, compassion, pity. Their frontal lobe development is like that of children and in some cases they have less impulse control than children yet our society treats them as adults.
To be fair, that's not true. I find his remarks more abhorrent because of the underlying thesis:
Akin's argument is essentially that when a woman is "legitimately raped" i.e. doesn't want to have sex with the man forcing himself on her, there can be no pregnancy. Therefore, whenever a rape victim gets pregnant, she actually wanted to have sex with that man, so it wasn't "really" rape, because secretly deep down she wanted it. Therefore, since she wanted to have sex, she should be responsible for the product of that act -- the baby. And thus, its okay to put her in jail if she aborts the rapists baby.
That's why the Republicans have been out there trying to split hairs between "rape rape" "forcible rape" "legitimate rape" and the term us commie hippie pinkos use (i.e. RAPE). Because, as any republican pastor could tell you, deep down that every feminist secretly wants a good round of "illegitimate raping" at least once a year.
That's not how I read it, your interpretation may be right, but I heard something else. His point before he bungled it, from what I can tell, is that the argument that abortion should be legal because people get pregnant from rape is essentially demagogic because it's so rare. What counts as "really rare" is subjective of course, but yeah, supplanting a demagogic argument for an apparently bunk medical one is not a strategy people will tolerate, obviously. The first thing that came to my mind when he said legitimate rape, is also different. Granted I can't read his mind so I don't know what he is referring to, but statutory rape is a whole category of "rapes" that I would call illegitimate. Regardless of whether or not his theory about the body fighting off pregnancy is bunk, I'd prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt that they just said something unsubstantiated than connecting them to the mythical "radical Islamists."
it would be less economically volatile to just give out a brick of gold with the award... or better yet, just make the medal out of gold, it would only weigh about 44 pounds
Since we're being grammar police, that is not a grocer's apostrophe. A grocer's apostrophe is an apostrophe on plural nouns ending in the letter s. The OP's mistake is an equally common phenomenon but I don't know of any pedantic name for it.
This probably makes me an bad human being. But I imagined a terrorist trying to fly a plane into the # building and flying right through it. Not only is it relevant to my social media lifestyle, it's also terror resistant!
I was just at the meeting where we were talking about this the other day. Harvard does put out some journals but the point is really to convince the ones we don't put out to move to open online access versus just print. Part of the problem is our library budgets are getting slashes and it's one of the hot button issues here. Most of the libraries are restructuring. I'm just a student worker so I'm not sure how exactly we will leverage them to do this apart from asking nicely, since,this is Harvard after all, we will get the journal. Asking nicely does work sometimes...

no not that, google enters politics with a polling locator!
'There's as much porn there as anyone would need, I'd imagine.'
This man needs a bigger imagination!
I'm pretty sure this premise undergirds the entirety of the Japanese pornography industry.

in order to make a decision the judge would have to hold a hearing!
Just what does this heatsink/fan attach to? Wouldn't one have to bore a hole directly through the CPU? Also sounds like it would be pretty fragile...

Is there a story under all this fear mongering somewhere?
