Well at least the Canadians are throwing out the concept of "zero tollerance" which implies that those immature adults are now required to think when disciplining the students rather than blindly following a one-size-fits-all approach
Why the state does it, what else would you call the sex offender's registry? Even better is when some pervert list your address as his/hers, or when the nut-jobs fire-bomb the wrong address.
This "nutter" is uncomfortably common in the american public school system. What happens is someone goes to school to be an educator, their college training is rather specialized and not readily transferable to other fields. After graduation, they find that their personality isn't really suited to being a teacher. The kids being rather astute to such things, quickly start to pick on the misfit teacher who eventually goes into administration with a me vs. everybody attitude, when a career change would be more appropriate. Now factor in the fact that 1. our courts allow schools much more latitude in areas like probable cause for searchs, 2. the courts and police will jump through their asses to support the schools and protect the kids,
3. it's easy to get 13 year old tried as adults for infractions at school and, 4. school policies aimed at litigation avoidence rather than what's in the kids best interests it's easy to see how things like this happen.
I think the bottom line is this Principal has to be replaced for several reasons 1 obviously for the poor judgement of making an emotional and impulsive accuation against the student in the Principal's charge to protect, 2 by making the charges to the police without making sure there was sufficient evidence, the police aren't listen to this shit-for-brains in the future so the Principal will be unable to protect the students in the future. 3. it most likely made the principal a laughing-stock in the school undermining the ability to enforce any discipline there. This is just further evidence that seems to indicate that teachers and administrators are under some kind of mass-Post tramatic stress syndrome. They are just to willing to put a permanent lable on kids being kids without rational judgement.
We occupied the west with the British, the Soviets the East. The dividing line was approximately where the Eastern Allied Army, predominately the Soviets but there were others, and the Western Allied armies such as the British, the Americans and the Canadians met. The western allies ended up with more because the German armies aided in the conquest of their country by the western allies, while still fighting the Eastern allies. I'm not sure the occupation is officialy over, but it was effectively over when the "iron curtain" came down, actually I was a part of it.
We didn't save Europe from Communists in WWII, the Commies were our allies, we saved Europe and Northern Africa from the German Nazis. The Nazis and the Soviets were bitter enemies and many atrocities were committed by each side on the other; the Nazis knew full well the the Soviets hated them so much that it was very likely that what the Nazis did to the Jews and Gypsies would pale in comparison to what the Soviets would do the the Nazis.
I just put it out on the curb on trash day, and the lady driving the recycling truck calls it in and the appliance pick-up truck comes an gets it. From there it goes to be recycled, any any hazardous components are supposed to be properly disposed of per the contract between my city and Waste Management. I can dispose of appliances any week I want.
I'm not sure what this has to do with the price of tea in China, but here goes, everything you mentioned is either taxed or not taxed without regard as to whether the bits connect to WoW, 2nd life, sleazey-porn.com, BrotherJim-bibleThumper.org or OMGponies.com. If the IRS was able to legaly tax imaginary money, I'd be totally screwed because the wife keeps dreaming about winning the lottery. Seriously the guy is a law professor, when he says "commercial activity" he talking about somebody preforming real-world labor, i.e. playing a game and exchanging the fruits of that labor for real-world "valuable consideration". Whether your getting paid for digging ditches or playing WoW, the IRS wants you to pay your fair share as determined by congress.
Normaly the "tail rotor" or more properly called the counter-torque rotor is used to keep the helicopter pointed in the desired direction of travel which has a lower aerodynamic cross section but this is optional because a helicopter can fly forward, backward and sideways. Durring normal flight to change an aircrafts direction of travel changes to pitch, yaw and roll are all made.
If you want to know how to get around the rotor stall problem, you have to look to the masters of rotory wing flight, the Russians. The Russian answer is contra-rotating wing, each side has equal lift and the additional benefit is you get to have two Jesus nuts instead of one. The Jesus nut is the nut that holds the rotor shaft on, if the Jesus nut falls off all you can do is say "Oh Jesus"
The Democrats must be real desperate to get re-elected in Michigan. I don't seeing a Democratic administration being elected in Michigan, Granholm on her second term and that'll be it for her, and the state has been driven into the ground durring her watch.
The solution is out there, there are two sites out there where you can upload your books to for JIT publishing. The pricing is slightly premimum to traditional book-store books but not outragious, you can easily use your desktop publishing program and generate a PDF to upload with a 100 pictures from your digital camera and some frilly clipart borders cheaper than you can just print the photos at home for scrapbooking, and you don't have to worry about freinds and family stiffing you for the cost of ink and paper.
There is no way the 3D printing will ever be used for things like ship's hulls, but they are the "next big thing" in my indusrty. 3D printing is growing explosively in the dental and dental lab business; yet still it'll hit the wall real soon because it's sweet-spot is to replace hand-waxing prior to lost investment casting in metal; and the cost to benefit ratio is erratic because precious metals market is crazy-stupid right now. The other big thing is CAD-CAM with CNC milling machines and the bleeding edge starts out with the Dentist replacing impressions of crown preperation with an inter-oral scanner, the scan is transmitted to the lab for fabrication in zirconia ceramic , fianal sintered where it shrinks 25% and then returned to the dentist for delivery to the patient and is accurate to 40 microns. These machines are expensive in the US$ 100 - 150K and the cost of consumables is rediculious, and most are patent emcumbered and royalties need to be paid on units produced. If your running a corporate mega-lab and can keep the machines running 24x7 they are quite profitable.
The short answer is no, dissregarding parts per millions, the energy sucked out of the wind, gets released when we use the energy else where so the net effect is zero. I've joked about connecting solar voltaic cells to solid-state lasers which would radiate energy back into space and theroreticaly reduce solar warming of the earth, but you would need an insane number of them to get past a parts per trillion effect range.
I haven't done the math, but a cable strong enough to tether a kite generating a 100MW would be pretty substantial, not to mention the power lines that would look like the 375 KV power lines on those huge 6 armed towers, stringing a few aircraft navigation avoidance lights and some radar refectors would be trivial. Add in a cable crawler to take maintence workers up to the kite and you'd have a pretty impressive prototype for a space elevator.
No not even close to that, a kite born wind-generator would be much more like a traditional helicopter without power, most auto-rotate down to a landing at about 70 MPH and most of that speed is to keep the tail in back before touchdown. It would not be hard at all to put in some backup batteries to run the autopilot and have the thing autogyro down to a designated landing zone and land about a gracefully as a gooney bird.
I'd be amazed if your average netizen even knows what DNS is or how it works, for them their machine get gets it's DNS server from what ever the DHCP server tells it to and they remain blissfully unaware because things just work; get the ISP's DNS servers to point to the governments "approved" root server and the people are there.
The trust is the key to the keys, if we can't trust the master key then the whole key signing routine is a farce; the simple act of DHS asking for the key has destroyed any value the key had. For a lot of people the level of trust for Thawrte is much higher than for Verisign and if Verisign wasn't configured as a trusted CA by M$, they would have been dead-in-water a long time ago. Now what people are thinking is how can we get second party comfirmation to DNS queries transperently?
Well the problem is that everybody loves the internet and everybody hates the internet and for the same reason, it's so easy for everybody to get together to talk and act. When everybody is talking about how bad the BadGuys(tm) are the internet is a good thing, when they're talking about how bad us GoodGuys(tm) are it's OMG we gotta get control of this! OSS makes things even worse, any us us on this forum can set up a system where we can send alerts and get thousands and even millions of people responding in near real-times to events we're concerned about; no sane government or organisation should be unconcered about the internet because it means they have to live in a glass house.
Not just that, you have to remember, she's a woman that made a president sleep on the couch, so when she put's her bitch on, she puts a mega-bitch on! I can't even imagine what a dialog between a Pres. Hilary and the Iranians would be like.
It's not that kind of key, it doesn't turn the internet on or off like a car's ignition key would, it's like an encryption key that ensures that the answer you get from a DNSSEC query is trustworthy because the trusted DNS server answers and only the trusted server. The points are firstly if the DHS gets the key, they've just managed to destroy it because the trusted key bacame untrustworthy, and secondly for 99.9% of the things we do on the internet we don't need to have trustworthy DNS.
Oh yeah I agree $200K isn't squat for them, but if the NZ gov. begins to ask GSK to do an extra study or two because their veracity isn't automatically assumed that would smart; if every jury on a product liability suit assumes the GSK is less reliable because of this it would be something as well.

We've had zero sunspots For the last 8 days, in 1996 we went 37 days without any sunspots.
If I had mod points you'd have gotten -1 overrated for linking to a subscribers-only article and claiming it should be required reading.

East China School District pushes the average quite a bit as well, just think of the property taxes on 5 power plants.
