  8. Public School as Kafkaesque Nightmare
    January 10th, 2012


    Via: Guardian:

    More and more US schools have police patrolling the corridors. Pupils are being arrested for throwing paper planes and failing to pick up crumbs from the canteen floor. Why is the state criminalising normal childhood behaviour?

    The charge on the police docket was “disrupting class”. But that’s not how 12-year-old Sarah Bustamantes saw her arrest for spraying two bursts of perfume on her neck in class because other children were bullying her with taunts of “you smell”.

    “I’m weird. Other kids don’t like me,” said Sarah, who has been diagnosed with attention-deficit and bipolar disorders and who is conscious of being overweight. “They were saying a lot of rude things to me. Just picking on me. So I sprayed myself with perfume. Then they said: ‘Put that away, that’s the most terrible smell I’ve ever smelled.’ Then the teacher called the police.”

    The policeman didn’t have far to come. He patrols the corridors of Sarah’s school, Fulmore Middle in Austin, Texas. Like hundreds of schools in the state, and across large parts of the rest of the US, Fulmore Middle has its own police force with officers in uniform who carry guns to keep order in the canteens, playgrounds and lessons. Sarah was taken from class, charged with a criminal misdemeanour and ordered to appear in court.

    Each day, hundreds of schoolchildren appear before courts in Texas charged with offences such as swearing, misbehaving on the school bus or getting in to a punch-up in the playground. Children have been arrested for possessing cigarettes, wearing “inappropriate” clothes and being late for school.

    In 2010, the police gave close to 300,000 “Class C misdemeanour” tickets to children as young as six in Texas for offences in and out of school, which result in fines, community service and even prison time. What was once handled with a telling-off by the teacher or a call to parents can now result in arrest and a record that may cost a young person a place in college or a job years later.

  9. Un-Believable....But saddly I do believe itJanuary 13, 2012 at 12:24 PM

    Even back in the 80's when they started this whole "War on Drugs" thingy and started putting PAL officers in the schools, I knew it was not a good thing.

    Seems like they took the baby steps back then to get people use to a police presence in schools and now a lot of those 80's kids are now the parents of these kids being arrested.

    And instead of standing up for their kids, they just say "That's just the way things are"

    Our public schools are educating the kids, but in the wrong way.

    Standing in line marking time--
    Waiting for the welfare dime
    'Cause they can't buy a job
    The man in the silk suit hurries by
    As he catches the poor old ladies' eyes
    Just for fun he says "Get a job"

    That's just the way it is
    Some things will never change
    That's just the way it is
    But don't you believe them

    They say hey little boy you can't go
    Where the others go
    'Cause you don't look like they do
    Said hey old man how can you stand
    To think that way
    Did you really think about it
    Before you made the rules
    He said, Son

    That's just the way it is
    Some things will never change
    That's just the way it is
    But don't you believe them

    Well they passed a law in '64
    To give those who ain't got a little more
    But it only goes so far
    Because the law won't change another's mind
    When all it sees at the hiring time
    Is the line on the color bar

    That's just the way it is
    Some things will never change
    That's just the way it is
    But don't you believe them

  12. Principal Charged After Hypnotizing Students Who Committed Suicide
    January 13th, 2012


    Via: CBS:

    North Port police have charged the town’s high school principal with two counts of second-degree criminal misdemeanors after students he hypnotized ended up committing suicide.

    Over six months, the North Port Police Department conducted around 70 interviews with students claiming to have been hypnotized by Dr. George Kenney and 100 adults either from among the school’s staff or parent community after receiving a complaint from the Florida Department of Health Services.

    In documents provided to CBS Tampa detailing the Sarasota School Department’s internal investigation, Kenney routinely hypnotized students in one-on-one sessions and in group settings. They often involved the school athletics teams or ROTC programs.

    Kenney told investigators it allowed students to relax, improved their performance in tests and helped some with anger issues.

    Documents show, however, that Kenney occasionally raised tempers and eyebrows within the school’s community.

    He was limited to hypnotizing students during psychology classes and then only with parent-signed permission slips and another teacher in the classroom — conditions insisted upon in 2009 by Steven Cantes, executive director of high schools for the Sarasota County School System.

    Kenney’s many supporters expressed gratitude for his help and admiration of his character throughout the report.

  22. But the ECB is also carrying much higher risks. They stem from the collateral that banks must post when they borrow money from the ECB. Often, that collateral consists of sovereign bonds from the countries where the banks are located. As such, when Greek banks borrow from the ECB, they post Greek sovereign bonds as collateral. Increasingly, however, they are taking advantage of the ability to issue bonds themselves, which are then guaranteed by the Greek state. Those bonds too are accepted by the ECB as collateral.

    In the last three-and-a-half years, financial institutions from debt-stricken euro-zone countries such as Greece, Portugal and Ireland have borrowed extensively from the ECB. Since the peak of the financial crisis in 2008, the ECB has provided euro-zone banks with unprecedented amounts of liquidity. In December, the ECB flooded European banks with additional capital with unusually long loan periods of three years -- an influx of fully €500 billion. The loans were processed by national central banks in the euro zone.

    "...Formation and composition of natural gas

    Natural gas has its origins in decayed living matter, most likely as the result of the action of bacteria upon dead animal and plant material. In order for most bacteria to effectively break down organic matter to hydrocarbons, there must be low levels of oxygen present. This would mean that the decaying matter was buried (most likely under water ) before it could be completely degraded to carbon dioxide and water. Conditions such as this are likely to have been met in coastal areas where sedimentary rocks and marine bacteria are common. The actions of heat and pressure along with bacteria produced a mixture of hydrocarbons. The smaller molecules which exist as gases were then either trapped in porous rocks or in underground reservoirs where they formed sources of hydrocarbon fuels.

    Natural gas, like petroleum, is a mixture of many organic substances. The most common substances in natural gas are summarized in the following table.

    Other gases such as oxygen, argon, and carbon dioxide make up the rest of most natural gas sources. The exact composition of different sources of natural gas varies slightly, but in all cases, methane is by far the most common component, with other hydrocarbons also being very common. The largest sources of natural gas in the United States are found in Alaska, Texas, Oklahoma, western Pennsylvania, and Ohio. It is estimated that the supply of natural gas in this country may be sufficient to last for two centuries, although the more readily accessible sources have been used, meaning that it will be more expensive to obtain natural gas in the future.

    History of the discovery and use of natural gas

    Natural gas is believed to have been first discovered and used by the Chinese, perhaps as early as 1000 b.c. Shallow stores of natural gas were released from just beneath the ground and piped short distances to be used as a fuel source. Natural gas could provide a continuous source of energy for flames. These "eternal fires" were found in temples and also used as attractions for visitors. In the 1800s, natural gas began to be piped short distances as a light source. With the discovery of oil in the 1860s, natural gas was largely ignored as a fuel source. One of the early difficulties with natural gas was in transporting it from the source to other sites for use. The combination of electric lights and petroleum meant that
    TABLE 1 substance mole %
    methane (CH4) 76
    ethane (C2H6) 6
    propane (C3H8) 4
    butane (C4H10) 2
    nitrogen (N2) 10


    containers of natural gas were used as heat sources for cooking in homes but for little else...."

    Clean Energy Unveils Backbone Network for America's Natural Gas Highway

    -- 150 LNG Truck Fueling Stations Enabling Goods Movement
    Coast-to-Coast and Border-to-Border Anticipated by End of 2013 --



    Seal Beach, Calif. (January 12, 2012) -- The route plan for the first phase of 150 new LNG fueling stations for America's Natural Gas Highway (ANGH) was unveiled today by Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (Nasdaq: CLNE), the leading provider of natural gas fuel for transportation in North America. The company has identified 98 locations and anticipates having 70 stations open by the end of 2012 in 33 states.

    Many of the fueling stations will be co-located at Pilot-Flying J Travel Centers already serving goods movement trucking through an exclusive agreement with Pilot to build, own and operate natural gas fueling facilities at agreed-upon travel centers. Pilot-Flying J is the nation's largest truck-stop operator with more than 550 retail properties in 47 states.

    Major highway segments planned for early opening include, among others, those linking San Diego-Los Angeles-Riverside-Las Vegas; the Texas Triangle (Houston-San Antonio-Dallas/Ft. Worth); Los Angeles-Dallas; Houston-Chicago; Chicago-Atlanta; and a network of stations along major highways in the mid-west region (IL, IN, OH, MO, KY, TN, KS, OK, AL) to serve the heavy trucking traffic in the area.

    Scheduled for completion during 2012 and 2013, the 150 first-phase stations coincide with the expected arrival of new natural gas truck engines well suited for heavy-duty, over-the-road trucking. Engine manufacturers and original equipment truck manufacturers such as Cummins-Westport, Kenworth, Peterbilt, Navistar, Freightliner and Caterpillar are expected to have Class-8 trucks available in engine sizes allowing for varied road and driving requirements.

    "We are moving quickly to build this important network in order to support the new trucks," said Andrew J. Littlefair, Clean Energy's President and CEO. "Already, Clean Energy has engaged over 100 shippers, private fleets and for-hire carriers that have shared their operations to qualify the economic opportunity of operating natural gas trucks, which has helped us, in turn, plan the first phase of the natural gas fueling highway."..."

    What odds will give you me that Houston WINS the game?

  51. The moneyline looks around +300.

    I'll put up $100 on the texans to WIN for 3:1.

    So, if the Texans LOSE, I'll send you a Benjamin.

    If the Texans WIN, you send me 3 of the same.

    I'd be willing to do the equivalent bet with junk silver...Morgans, Roosies or Kennedy or some Quarters...whichever you'd like.

    to all y'all..

    iffin' you had the opportunity to start a "New Business" -- Sector: 'Filtration', more specifically 'Water' -- would you?

    has a couple of different 'Prongs'..

    1. "...between 20% and 40% of the water used for hydro-fracing a gas well returns to the surface as flowback, and later as produced water. In addition to the frac fluids added by the gas drilling companies, this water picks up other contaminants from deep in the Earth (~ 7,000 feet deep) with one of the most notable ingredients being salt..."

    here, the 'Opportunity' is to Filter/re-Condition the 'flowback' "Water", at the pad-site, for re-use..

    and, to keep this as a 1., 2., 3. ...

    and, 3. something along the lines of.."Filter paper based on nanotechnology is inserted in the drinking cap of a bottle of water to inexpensively and easily remove heavy metals, arsenic, mercury, bad tastes, and odors."..that'll, actually, knock-down 5 logs of Virii, and Bacteria..

    and, depending on 'formulation', could whack-out Fluoride and/or other 'Elementals'..

    anyway, Would you? :)
