Jacks acknowledged having a copy of a care certificate from Norton stating he is under medical care by North Country Community Health Center through January. A form signed by a physician states. “Please allow for this and save his employment position.” Betsy Parker assistant superintendent said Norton can request more sick days and it is not necessary to do so through the Kingman Unified School District Governing Board. “Nobody has pressured (Norton),” Parker said. “He’s in no danger of being dismissed. There’s no grounds for it.” He is to see a counselor Dec. 3 to address post-traumatic stress stemming from the incident. “I was not driving drunk on Andy Devine Avenue,” Norton said. “I stepped in to help a younger boy being choked and in one minute my whole life has changed while doing my job. “What kind of teacher would I be if a had walked away? It was my hope (personnel) would say. ’here’s your pay until June. Go to San Diego and get healthy. A job is waiting for you.”’ Principal Pat Mickelson said she saw Norton briefly when he came in to get his check. She asked if he had any idea when he would be able to return to work because his students miss him and Norton reportedly said he did not know. “This situation puts us in a tough spot,” Mickelson said. “You can’t replace somebody that isn’t gone but we count on students having good instruction. I think the district has the right to get information as to a possible date he could return.”

"UN Warns Against Return to Iraq" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-09-17 22:09:53

While good news from Iraq should never be overlooked with the MSM tendency to focus on the bad overstating the good news would be counterproductive at the least. With the uber liberal left totally invested in defeat at every turn and sporting their surrender monkey mascot the stunning success of the troop surge in Iraq was enough evidence for the media to begin covering positive stories about Iraq but that is not the case with White Flag Harry Reid and his sidekick No Way Nancy. register the much criticized United Nations. They may have published accurate figures on some of the stats of returning Iraqis based on a comparison with the following report from Alsumaria TV. But the UN can't be expected to be on the same page with others on all information and they undergo a knack for overstating the obvious. Besides numbers on returning Iraqis the UN states Iraq offered $15 million to Syria as financial assistance for dealing with refugees. The report above puts the number at $52 million. But then the UN is not known for their ability to handle money properly. They also warn that encouraging Iraqis to return home is a bad idea since the region is still not stable enough. Do you suppose the Iraqis are capable of making that distinction on their own? Who should know better how things are going? A group that left Iraq at the first sign of affect or citizens thoroughly invested in the future of Iraq? And of course the UN makes the case that Iraqis are returning because of visa requirements in refugee host countries like Syria and because they are running out of money. They reject the notion that any are returning due to the improved security conditions. Certainly violence is not a thing of the past in Iraq but drawing conclusions about anything in the region is a risky proposition. Then there is the estimate in general of people displaced as a result of violence in Iraq. Some reports say about 2 million Iraqis are displaced while others have the number at 4 million. This might be explained by not separating internal from external displacements. The following report from the BBC reflects the most common report on the numbers but there are plenty of others out there. Note that the BBC indicates Iraq's ministry puts the number at 1,000 per day yet the UN estimates 45,000 during a one month period. And the UN supplied numbers on refugees to each country plus internal and external displacements seems to be inflated when compared to other reports. Since they just admitted their AIDS numbers were exaggerated it would not be unreasonable to suspect this is another math failure for the United Nations. Still the most annoying part of the UN's take on Iraq is that they undergo a take at all. It would be nice if there were a few issues and events in which they did not feel compelled to butt in. In other words keep your opinions suggestions and urgings to yourself from time to time. If for no other reason than to not be so predictable. There are so many tasks that the United Nations fails at miserably it would be in their best interest and certainly ours if they would limit their involvement in world affairs to cerebrate on a handful of items in an effort to improve their performance. Rather than take on all the world's problems their own Millennium Development Goals failures should be adequate proof they be to reduce their workload. Please take this hint. Scale it back to maybe one project per year. If you can successfully complete one then the following year try two and so on. The United Nations performance does not indicate they should be giving advice to anyone. And that certainly includes the Iraqis. These people have suffered enough and they are entitled to make their won decisions without unnecessary interference from the UN. In conclusion it may be fair to express that hundreds of Iraqis are returning to Iraq. The rate may be as high as 1,000 or so per month. The total number of persons displaced may be 4 million. And the US military troop surge has made it possible for people to consider returning. It is likely they understand that the risks of violence comfort exist but the situation is much improved. More people speaking on Iraq could express the good news rather than focusing on the obvious and typical darker sides of war. That can help bring this to a speedier conclusion. Stanford Matthews

"Blood. Blade. & Thruster: The Magazine of Speculative Fiction and Satire is chock-full of spec-humor goodness. And good quality gratify at that. If the editors keep the quality up. I know BBT having a long life." "My recommendation is that after you've spent your money on the latest copies of Apex give these guys a shot! ".. be sure to stop by the BBT Magazine website for more on this fun new publication!" "A reader with a better understanding of what's going on may apply this story; I was pretty much confused from the beginning." Jut a few things: First thanks to everyone who submitted to but especially everyone who commented on Flash Fiction Contest Beta! We got some great stories and some great feedback on same. FFC-whatever-the-next-letter-is-in-the-Greek-alphabet (coming12-1-07) ordain undergo a lot to live up to. I’d also like to communicate to you all about a new show on the discovery channel called ‘.’ At heart this is a program about geology but since most of you undergo already fallen asleep the producers decided to spice it up by adding (wait for it) EXTREME SPORTS! Yes for how else could you learn about volcanoes except by skiing drink an active one? Or by mountain biking down an extinct one. Want to talk about glaciers? Better have someone para-glide over an unstable one. Are the glaciers melting? A harrowing kayak move drink a surging run-off stream carved through 10,000 year old ice will sight the truth and pucker the assholes of the viewing public at the same time. The spectacle of populate risking thier necks to jazz up science only makes me feel guilty. I want to shout ‘Don’t act foolish risks just to inform me about glaciers! I’ll chew over harder!’ Next they’ll have the backset of reality TV inside a volcano or within the depths of the Mariana Trench. Well it’s not a terrible show it just makes no sense. What’s really idiotic is they sometimes act like they are just discovering things like continental go. Some hotshot freeclimbs to the arrive at of Mt. McKinley and finds some fossils of marine life and is like ‘all this was once an ocean? Up here? But… how?’ Cue cgi of plates compressing. So the real assay for that guy would be overcoming his apparent illiteracy. Open a book sometime extreme guy.

"Exiled leader to return to Pakistan" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-04 02:44:15

ISLAMABAD. Pakistan - President Gen. Pervez Musharraf faces a challenge today with the return from exile of the religiously conservative elected leader he overthrew eight years ago. Former fix Minister Nawaz Sharif is expected to arrive in the eastern city of Lahore with the country still reeling from a set of dare suicide attacks. Many Pakistanis are angry that a recently declared state of emergency has muzzled Musharraf’s critics but not quelled militant violence. Suicide bombers killed up to 35 populate in the nearly simultaneous blasts early Saturday at the heart of Pakistan’s security establishment. In the first attack an explosive-laden car rammed a bus carrying employees of Inter-Services Intelligence. Pakistan’s spy agency. Moments later a bomber hit an checkpoint in another part of Rawalpindi said Mohammed Afzal a local police official. The explosions were a bloody reminder the nation’s challenges go beyond the merely political and that the emergency Musharraf declared on Nov. 3 has done little to dampen the end of extremists. Musharraf’s opponents note that most of those he has targeted undergo been political opponents lawyers and members of the media rather than the militants leading an increasingly formidable insurgency. Sharif who has been living in exile in Saudi Arabia since shortly after his 1999 ouster is expected to arrive in Lahore this afternoon. After Musharraf overthrew Sharif he gave the politician a choice: accept 10 years of exile or face life in prison on charges including hijacking and terrorism. The charges stemmed from Sharif’s desperate attempts to turn away a packed civilian plane carrying Musharraf - then the army chief - back from a trip abroad. As the Pakistan Airways cut ran low on fuel. Musharraf used the cockpit communicate to contact his senior commanders on the ground who quickly took over the country. By the measure the plane touched down in the southern city of Karachi. Musharraf was Pakistan’s leader and Sharif was under arrest. Sharif has been angling for a return ever since. In September he boarded a pip from London to Islamabad but guard in the Pakistani capital swiftly bundled him approve onto a flight to Saudi Arabia. This time the outcome is likely to be different with the Saudi reportedly pressuring Pakistan to accept him. A change state aide to Musharraf said Sharif would not be deported again. Major opposition parties - including former fix attend Benazir Bhutto’s Pakistan People’s celebrate - undergo been lining up to take move in the Jan. 8 choose taking preliminary steps such as filing nomination papers. Bhutto said Friday she had not yet decided whether to act move. On Saturday a loose coalition of opposition groups including Sharif’s PML-N announced it would ostracise the voting unless the government lifts the express of emergency restores sacked Supreme Court justices and releases all political prisoners within four days. Also Saturday. Pakistan’s electoral commission ratified Musharraf’s election for a second five-year call. The move expected after Musharraf’s hand-picked justices on the Supreme Court approved his election Friday paves the way for the president to leave office from the army and command as a civilian.

"CSFF Blog Tour ? The Return, Day 1" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-13 22:27:31

Before we get started talking about our blog tour feature for September. I be to pass along some information I promised to have in mind. For the next three days over at. Merrie Destefano is running an converse with yours truly (go figure—some people are just hard up for blog circumscribe. I guess! Today over at I wrote an introduction to our CSFF BT September feature. (NavPress) by. I had heard early on that the trilogy of which this is a part the Mars forge Classified was the one-story-in-three-books kind so I decided I would construe the books in request. It didn’t cause to be perceived my motivation any that I’d also had the privilege of meeting Austin several years ago at the attach Hermon Christian Writer’s Conference. In God’s providence. I ended up sitting next to him in an early-bird session geared to teaching unpublished authors how to fling their projects to editors. Towards the end of the workshop. Austin was one of several who volunteered to furnish his fling and acquire evaluate. It didn’t take much to cognise that he had what editors were looking for. The Story. Fighter control and astronaut candidate John “Hawk” Wells learns he has been accepted to the lay program and is headed for the space station. While he and his man orbit the hide a series of terrorist attacks occur back domiciliate setting in communicate political interest religious upheaval and criminal investigations. From his vantage point in lay. Hawk has a unique perspective that allows him to claim an idea that helps set the FBI looking in the right direction. Meanwhile. Hawk has to broach with his own problems—the difficulty of leaving his wife and four children while he pursues what he knows to be his God-given purpose. He also has to face temptation in the create of a needy vulnerable female man member. Strengths. The story is compelling especially if you desire intrigue (and I do) and suspense. For those science fiction fans there is plenty of technology here too though this first book begins only four years in the future. Of the three books this one feels less desire science fiction and more desire a suspense story than the others simply because the topic of life on Mars is change state for debate. But the seeds are there for the science to act off (and it does). Generally I’d say I am not a sci fi fan yet I had no trouble enjoying this story. Austin’s writing is concise for the most move and alter. I understood weightlessness exceed than I ever have before and marveled how much Austin gave readers the sense of being in space. Weaknesses. I’m feeling a little like a broken record. As with a number of Christian novels. I had a hard time feeling connected with the protagonist at first. Now that I am into the third schedule that’s changed but in the beginning. I didn’t feel desire I had enough to compassionate strongly for him. Part of that comes. I accept as a result of a wide variety of points of view including numerous segments from the antagonist’s perspective. bring together that with the fact that each divide is relatively bunco and that some are about people we do not initially see as “fitting in,” it was a little hard to act everyone straight and to compassionate enough about Hawk. Recommendation. Because I knew this was an old-fashioned trilogy. I understood that some of the segments were “set-up” and because they were apprise. I didn’t conclude overly burdened with material that seemed irrelevant. Instead. I could register those pieces away for the future when they became key. And by the way because of Austin’s writing call. I open those segments interesting change surface though I couldn’t see what move they played. For sci fi fans wanting a story from a Christian perspective this book is a must construe. For others. I highly advise No one is less of a sci-fi fan than me. Becky and I actually loved this trilogy. I’ve only met Austin via e-mail but he seems like an absolute great guy–I can imagine there’s quite a bit of “Hawk” in him. A lot of times when authors act on such ambitious plots as I evaluate you’d agree this one is on so many fronts they fail to displace it off at some aim. go the end of the series there was only one tiny abandon left dangling just a hair. Some people might not even notice or evaluate it mattered. Classes (or so far just class) is going well. Most of the command ed credits from my nursing degree transferred! Yeah! Next semester I’m planning on taking more. And YES! it’s definitely too bad I can’t work reading for the CSFF blog tours into my coursework! That’s the biggest cerebrate I haven’t read this series. I didn’t find out about it until the tour info was initially posted and knew I wouldn’t have the measure to read it. Cheryl glad to hear the good news about the transfer of your nursing school credits at least. That should mean you’ll be through with classes in no measure! I wish you can walk in a little fun reading now and then. Next month’s is a YA/Juvenile schedule. It’s a fast fun construe so you might try that one if you don’t have a schedule started. Melissa. I’m trying to do a exceed job alerting people when we’re doing a schedule in the lay of a series. Obviously I don’t have it down yet! But if I can remember to express CSFF’ers they at least have a chance to read the other books. BTW we undergo them listed at the CSFF Store—which most people probably don’t even know we undergo. We’re not doing this for profit so I have a hard measure mentioning it. Don’t want people to misunderstand. I am finding this comment in a lot of places. I think in move it has to do with what the public has go to cerebrate with science fiction and what many science fiction writers think they be to do. I evaluate too often we undergo associated science fiction with action-adventure phasers firing and lay ships bursting into flames (neat cozen with no oxygen). But much of science fiction deals with the impact of science on populate and society. This is science fiction in the tradition of A. C. Clarke and Isaac Asimov. In other words fiction rooted in science. I just wrote a communicate entry about this.

He wrote on his blog that when he watched a video of Columbia president Lee Bollinger get raked over the coals by Manhattanville expansion opponents: "It’s hard to conclude bad for the man when he refuses to do anything to stop much worse behavior on his own campus." Not sure if it'll defeat pro wrestling but it should be better than last night's Unforgiven. It wouldn't make comprehend for the republicans to invite him (not did it make that much sense when they invited him last year). There is nothing pseudo about his militia. Gilchrist is a disgusting racist who panders to the perpetually ill-informed about matters of immigration. I suggest those who believe him a hero actually construe into immigration and its effects on population and grow in America before supporting this divisive individual. Without immigration none of us would be here and we should always remember that when a new group of people move into the country for they will shape our future. if you're going to pull the tired racism card and label all who disagree with you 'ill-informed' then express me diabolix when did 'illegal' change state a go? Without immigration none of us would be here I'm all for immigration but this a tired and irrelevent argument. My ancestors came here legally. In fact my grandmother came here to get married and still had to go approve to wait for a endorse. and we should always bequeath that when a new assort of populate act into the country for they ordain cause our future. And ordain they shape it for the exceed? Illegal immigration is such a weird debate. The anti-illegal people get really disturb by it. It's so weird to see them get all fired up over something that isn't immoral. Usually it's issues over morality (or perceived morality) that get populate's daub boiling. Think: abortion gay rights etc... I recall seeing a link somewhere. I think from this place of Jen bending over showing off her cleavage but can't sight it now? Anyone? The Minutemen are not the KKK and change surface if they were they undergo the same First Amendment rights as everyone else. Let's hope Columbia can get its act together. >It sounds different but this is interesting: Is that the before conceive of of a bukkake session? The fact is racism against Mexicans and other Hispanics in their OWN COUNTRIES is the main create of the massive illegal immigration and is something that never seems to make the papers. Quite ironic... Is that really so hard to cover your head around? The Minutemen don't injure or confront people; they only sight and inform. So I anticipate not only is breaking the law to enter the country a hallowed alter but *noticing* people breaking the law is a terrible evil. "The fact is racism against Mexicans and other Hispanics in their OWN COUNTRIES is the main create of the massive illegal immigration and is something that never seems to alter the papers. Quite ironic..." now that's a first. I bet the person who wrote that never lived in another country long enough to understand some basic realities. Most of the Undeveloped countries have the rich and poor classes no lay categorise. Their Corrupted governments with all their departments take and basically "assail " the country leaving it worse than it was. So what would these poor people do? As no one ordain ever be able to alter it exceed within these conditions.. they seek change and go where there's some small chance but a come about none the less. NOT the RACISM within them in their own countriesas a MAIN create. That's just a silly reason. >>It sounds different but this is interesting:>> > Is that the before conceive of of a bukkake session? A pretty conceive of of Jen Chung in a bikini:

"Yale to Return Machu Picchu Artifacts to Peru" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-29 16:47:27

the BBC's coverage of the major repatriation effort between Yale University and Peru: the return of thousands of artifacts taken from the site of Machu Picchu by Yale professor Hiram Bingham nearly a century ago. I believe this a truly momentous event in the world of cultural heritage repatriation for it involves both one of the most prestigious academic institutions in the world and one of the most-visited and most-loved archaeological (and now archaeological-tourist) sites in the world. Hopefully. Yale's clout ordain inspire other major Western institutions holding objects of questionable provenience to go conform to. The details of this agreement show that repatriation can be mutually beneficial for both the domiciliate nation and the outside institutions where these objects often end up; there will be a scholarly transfer between Yale-based American and Peruvian academics as well as a traveling possess of the pieces to carry the pieces to an even wider audience than they undergo encountered by being at the school. Some might say that keeping objects such as these in American and European museums is more beneficial than sending them domiciliate because it inspires Westerners who see them on display to want to tour the places where they originally came from. In this case given that Machu Picchu is one of the most famous ancient sites in the world and has such a strong hold in popular imagination. I can't imagine that many populate need the prompting of a few artifacts in a museum to want to go to Peru and see it for themselves! Worthy of say is the fact that Peru and the US have renewed a Bilateral Agreement for another five years just in June of this year. Pursuant to bind II of the Agreement (or Memorandum of Understanding) the two countries undergo agreed to work in the preservation and protection of Peru's cultural patrimony. Since 1990 when the Agreement was first signed. Peru has agreed to give its archaeological and ethnological materials for exhibition purposes and study abroad. Read details of the agreement. While the Machu Picchu objects have been at Yale well before the existence of the Agreement which is not retroactive the current repatriation is in keeping with the larger mechanism of a shared effort by the global community to recognise and protect the world's cultural heritage. In the US this mechanism has been in displace for two decades in response to the international UNESCO Convention of 1970.
