cheen students are famous for the internal 'network' and powerful tier-1 capabilities on two fronts
- getting any licensed sw for free overnight
- getting hold of any prior assignments or test answers by logging into the 'network' overnight and leveraging seniors
their third capability is spherical-MAWS and vlo cloak
- if by any chance the professor is pissed and tries to scold them, they just smile and pretend not to understand

so prof shakes his head and moves on.

I dont think the US/UK/Aus/Canada care , they are getting their share of good students and are happy to get fee paying students of the other kind to keep the cash flow going. only STEM depts might take a dim view of it, rest is all open.

University of Florida and Emory University's Jewish 'Students' Honor Wounded American War Veterans

"They actually spit on me and my service dog as well, and that's just so disrespectful and it hurts. I come and I feel honored and I feel safe and that I belong, but now I feel like I'm defending myself," wounded veteran Nicholas Connole told CNN affiliate WJHG.

"People were urinating off the balconies, throwing up in the elevators, making suggestive and sexual comments about veterans with their service dogs and derogatory and suggestive comments about their wives," said Linda Cope, organizer of the Warrior Beach Retreat.

"We had an American flag flying outside and there was urination coming down from the balconies going onto the flag," she said. "One of the drunk kids pulled a veteran American flag out of the ground and [we] made the boy put it back. This all happened Friday afternoon, through the night, into the late morning."

The website for Zeta Beta Tau says it's the the world's first Jewish fraternity and prides itself on being an inclusive organization. In 1989, it became the first fraternity to abolish pledging from its organization, the website said.

This is true democracy: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/201 ... oter-frau/

Just let this sink in.

KINLOCH, Mo. (AP) - Incoming Kinloch Mayor Betty McCray arrived at City Hall Thursday only to have the city attorney attempt to serve her with impeachment papers.

According to documents obtained by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (http://bit.ly/1z0WZo1 ) through a records request, the city has raised concerns to the St. Louis County Board of Elections and the Missouri Secretary of State about people being registered to vote in Kinloch who no longer live there. On April 2, the city gave the election board a list of 27 names of people who it claimed were illegally registered.

McCray had defeated Mayor Darren Small on April 7 with 38 votes to his 18. Another candidate, Theda Wilson, received two votes.

City Attorney James Robinson said the Board of Aldermen voted to suspend McCray on Monday. He served McCray with impeachment charges Thursday when she attempted to enter City Hall. Robinson also told Alderman Eric Petty, an ally of McCray’s, that the board had drafted articles of impeachment against him.

“You may be the attorney now, but I promise you, you won’t be later,” McCray said as she refused to accept the impeachment papers.

The new mayor also called the voter fraud allegations “absurd.”

“It never came up until I ran for mayor,” McCray said, adding that people were still living at the addresses the city claims are empty. McCray is currently seeking legal representation to address the impeachment charges.

County Republican Election Director Gary Fuhr has responded to the city’s complaints by sending canvassers to verify that voters were registered to correct addresses. He declined to say what canvassers found.

Kinloch once thrived with more than 10,000 residents, but saw its share of decline in the 1980s. Today, Kinloch has fewer than 300 residents.

The city has weathered much political misfortune in the last five years, including the imprisonment of a former mayor on federal fraud and theft charges and the hiring of a convicted felon as city manager.

that's some decline, along with all the criminals getting elected and ruling that place. Must be all that excess freedom and democracy killing off people or making them move out. A total of 59 people voted out of 300 -- doesn't even say the 27 illegally registered voters even voted. Why can't Indian democracy be so awesome and not have 75% voting percentage like it does?

Group defends honoring Montana judge rebuked over teen rape case

A Montana bar association on Friday defended its controversial decision to honor a former judge who was censured for suggesting that a 14-year-old girl was partly to blame for her rape by a teacher whom the judge sentenced to just 31 days.

The board of the Yellowstone Area Bar Association, a private organization of attorneys in the Billings area, said it voted to present retired state District Judge G. Todd Baugh with a lifetime achievement award for his decades of service.

Man ordered to trial on charges of kidnapping, raping teen

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — A California man was ordered Friday to stand trial on charges of kidnapping and raping a 15-year-old girl that he went on to marry and live with for a decade.

Orange County Superior Court Judge Robert R. Fitzgerald made the decision after hearing preliminary evidence against 41-year-old Isidro Garcia, who has pleaded not guilty.

Authorities said the daughter of Garcia's live-in girlfriend told them he began fondling her shortly after she was brought from Mexico in 2004 to live with her mother in Santa Ana, and that he repeatedly had sex with her despite her protests.

The student had reached into his bag and accidentally pulled the trigger on the .45-caliber weapon toward the end of the school day on Wednesday, according to Clark County School District police. Nobody was hurt.

Michele Bachmann: The Rapture Is Coming And It's Obama's Fault

Michele Bachmann says the rapture is coming, thanks to President Barack Obama’s policies on Iran’s nuclear program and marriage equality.

In a radio interview last week, Bachmann, the former Minnesota Republican congresswoman, told "End Times" host Jan Markell, “We need to realize how close this clock is getting to the midnight hour.”

“We in our lifetimes potentially could see Jesus Christ returning to earth and the rapture of the church,” Bachmann said. “We see the destruction, but this was a destruction that was foretold.”

Bachmann cited the Obama administration’s nuclear negotiations with Iran as a cause. The U.S. and five partner nations are discussing a deal with Iran that would prevent the country from developing or obtaining nuclear weapons.

“We are literally watching, month by month, the speed move up to a level we’ve never seen before with these events," Bachmann said. "Barack Obama is intent. It is his number one goal to ensure that Iran has a nuclear weapon.”
Later in the interview, Bachmann again tied her rapture prediction to Obama’s foreign policy.

“If you look at the president’s rhetoric, and if you look at his actions, everything he has done has been to cut the legs out of Israel and lift up the agenda of radical Islam,” she said.

Obama has said repeatedly that the goal of the nuclear talks with Iran is to prevent the country from developing a nuclear weapon.

Bachmann also blamed abortion and gay marriage, arguing that God is punishing the United States for “embracing a pagan view.”

“Any nation that accepts God and his principles is blessed, and those who push away are cursed. That’s what we’re seeing happen to the United States,” she said. “We will suffer the consequences as a result.”

Some Christians believe those who are saved will be transported to heaven just before armageddon, which they call the rapture.

This is not the first time Bachmann has predicted extreme consequences from the Iran deal. Earlier this month, she claimed the deal would lead to "World War III." And in a Facebook post, she compared Obama to Andreas Lubitz, the pilot who crashed the Germanwings airliner into the French Alps in March.

Violence and vigilantism as Baltimore erupts into rioting
Police say rival criminal gangs have united to kill police in response to the death of Freddie Gray, a young black man who died in custody

By Raf Sanchez, Washington

28 Apr 2015
Brian Woodyard Jr stood alone at the corner of McKean Avenue with a machete in his hand.

Behind him was the corner shop he had vowed to defend. Its glass door had already been smashed in by looters. Groups of youths ran through the darkness of nearby streets.

Was he prepared to actually use the weapon he was holding? "You're damn straight I am," he replied.

Would that be legal? "Nope," he laughed. "But forget the law when the law can't protect civilians. This is kind of all-out war."

Mr Woodyard's lone watch was just one of many moments of chaos, disorder and lawlessness as the streets of Baltimore erupted into rioting on Monday night.

Protesters clashed with heavily-armoured police and set fire to cars and buildings in scenes reminiscent of last year's unrest in Ferguson, Missouri. By midnight, 15 officers had been injured and about 30 people arrested.

Once again, the chaos was sparked by the death of a young black man at the hands of American police.

Freddie Gray, 25, died in police custody on April 19, a week after he was arrested. An autopsy found that his spine had been effectively severed and video captured by a bystander shows him in obvious agony as police carry him away in handcuffs.

Although six officers were suspended and Mr Gray's family appealed for calm, it was not enough to prevent an outbreak of violence and a state of emergency being declared.

Groups of young people confronted police with rocks and bricks at around 3pm after widely-circulated social posts about a "purge" - a reference to the 2013 film The Purge about the total collapse of society.

Within hours, looting and unrest was spreading to different areas across western parts of Baltimore.

Police said that several rival criminal gangs - the Bloods, the Crips, and the Black Guerilla Family - had made a pact to attack police officers in revenge for Mr Gray's death. The groups had "entered into a partnership to 'take out' law enforcement officers," police said. Although shooting was reported throughout the night, no police officers were hit by gunfire.

The Telegraph watched as a group of men in hoods and face masks raced past in the back up a pick-up truck - a scene more often seen in the Middle East than a major American city.

A man in a gas mask used a knife to cut open over a firefighter's hose as the fire brigade struggled to put out a burning pharmacy. Looters walked brazenly down the middle of the road with shopping carts packed with stolen goods.

Baltimore police, reinforced by other departments, responded with tear gas and lines of shields and truncheons. Larry Hogan, the governor of Maryland, declared a state of emergency and authorised National Guard troops to deploy onto the streets.

The rioting poses a fresh challenge for President Barack Obama, whose second term has seen several standoffs between police and the black community. It also marks a stark first day of work for Loretta Lynch, who was sworn in on Monday morning as the first black woman to serve as US attorney general.

Mr Obama has yet to address the violence but is sure to be asked about it during a press conference with the Japanese prime minister today. Hillary Clinton tweeted that she was praying for peace and for all in Baltimore.

Unlike Ferguson, a small suburb of St Louis, Baltimore is a city of more than 600,000 people. The city is about two-thirds African-American.

Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, the African-American mayor of Baltimore, called the rioting "heart breaking" but said there was no excuse for violence, whatever the community frustrations over Mr Gray's death.

"To watch a group of criminals go through our city with intent to destory - what does that solve? You don't get justice for that," she said.

Authorities declared a curfew from 10pm on Tuesday night in the hope of restoring order. But both the mayor and the governor were facing questions over whether they had been to slow to respond and allowed the protesters to get out of hand.

Lisa Mills, a 45-year-old woman in a wheelchair, said she had brought her six-year-old grandson Donte onto the streets to see the "historic" events unfolding.

She said she disagreed with the violence but understood the anger of young people who felt the police were not on their side. "Donte could very well be one of the people that gets hurt by the police when he grows up."

Dante Valentine, a 45-year-old filmmaker from Baltimore, called Mr Gray's death "a murder".

"I'm not condoning what's happening but I'm not condemning it either," he said as he watched a building burn. "No one has ever listened to peaceful protests so maybe this will get their attention."

x-post from the Disaster relief thread:

chaanakya wrote:With Flights Delayed Indefinitely, U.S. Citizens Are Stranded In Nepal

WASHINGTON -- In the aftermath of the powerful earthquake that hit Nepal on Saturday, the U.S. has no plans to transport stranded U.S. citizens back home.

The State Department on Monday acknowledged the death of at least four U.S. citizens in an avalanche on Mount Everest, but a spokesman did not have an estimate of how many Americans remained in Nepal, or of how many U.S. nationals had been reported missing. While the Indian and Chinese governments have airlifted and bussed out thousands of their own citizens since the earthquake, the U.S. government is directing Americans in Nepal to use commercial flights to transport themselves back home.

“The airport remains open, and we understand that many U.S. citizens are departing on commercial flights,” State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke told reporters on Monday. “We are assisting Americans there with flight arrangements. We've also been providing shuttle services to the airport given the very difficult conditions. I don't have anything to confirm about other sorts of transportation.”

Rathke added that the U.S. embassy in Nepal is open and providing shelter to both U.S. and non-U.S. citizens

So far, U.S. aid has been focused on assisting the Nepalese government in its disaster response and not on evacuating Americans. The Department of Defense has deployed two C-17 military transport aircraft, which are expected to arrive in Nepal Tuesday morning local time. ( how can they even evacuate when they had not arrived to assist yet)The two planes will carry a combined 120 passengers, including a USAID disaster assistance response team, two urban search and rescue teams from Fairfax County and Los Angeles County, and several journalists.

That's a bit unfair. Please examine upward mobility especially inter-generational and America has been a lot more accommodating of all other groups than Blacks. Blacks are treated with an especial regard, surpassing all others.

I am beginning to think there is a deeper explanation than merely racism. It is strikingly like the aboriginals in Australia, natives in Canada or Argentina, Peru etc. There seems to be a notion of original sin, a crime so vast that the only way to deal with it is to firmly believe that they deserved it, ie projection. Otherwise the cognitive dissonance is overwhelming. So bias certainly, racism perhaps is too trivial.

er... The slavery business was by no means limited to involuntary immigrants from Africa. The same deal applied to anyone who was not deemed propah "White". In particular, Chinese, yes, Indians from India, Mexicans. The Native Americans were not even deemed to have a right to life.

(Maybe you just haven't had a well-spent youth of literary absorption like I have, and haven't read such masterpieces as the works of Rosemary Rogers or watched "Dillon" enough)

So the 'cognitive dissonance' applies much more to those people (i.e., ppl like us). "Discrimination" is now supposed to have happened only to African Americans.

That is what Shreeman properly alludes to.

The rioters in Baltimore were not hungry street kids - they came out of a public-funded and private high schools, communicated over social media on their parent-provided SmartPhones using well-established FlashMob techniques, and quite deliberately proceeded to smash and loot stores, and destroy the property of fellow citizens - only a few of the bonfires were from (public-funded) police cars.

Yet, now the whole "crime" is that the President, an African American who came up the hard way, properly and aptly called them 'thugs'.

Perhaps you have not quite had to see the real criminal waste up close: the hundreds of thousands of AA 'youth' who grow up with all the comforts of middle-class America, opportunities like you or I would not even be able to dream about - and manage to grow up absorbing nothing but this sense of victimhood and Right To Be Angry. There is much to the classic ad of the UNCF (I can't expand that acronym, I would get banned, hanged probably

)

A mind is a terrible thing to waste

Yes, and that is exactly what we are seeing in Baltimore. In Ferguson there is probably more reason, because it is more closed economy there, though St. Louis, 20 miles away is a black-majority, black-power center for the past 50 years, so one has to wonder why.

I fear for America - the backlash from the T-Party H***** Jugend is building up to explosion pressure. Come November 5, 2016...

sanjay,

The blacks have had a horrible time, even after the civil rights era. There is no denying it. And the holocaust was hell for the jews. The problem to me (of thisrock throwing approach, shall we say) is that it is approximating to gaza. And that worries me. Either you keep up until a resolution, identify a common cause, or you suffer forever.

America is uniformly xenophobic and exploitive of anything but a caucasian. Even there, the poor are sliding into the abyss. The problem is a lack of truth. Without it, there is no reconciliation. You exploit someone, they find a way back -- abuse a waiter? they spit in your food.

There is nothing to be said about the current protests, or ferguson in this regard. But blacks have to step up and make civil rights for everyone, not just the black ex slaves, a topic of conversation. They have the podium. Why arent they speaking for everyone instead of going from shooting to shooting. The same can be said of the jews. And the LGBT. everyone wants a slice of the primt time, instead of addressing/resolving the issues for everyone.

As the conversation keeps sliding into the gutter, its becoming a gaza style "they have no leaders", bring on the tanks, We are missing baseball here.

"I have no idea what he's thinking," White House spokesman Josh Earnest told a news conference. The eight-week training known as "Jade Helm 15" is a multi-state exercise with members of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command.

"The thing that I can say without having a lot of detailed knowledge about the particular exercise is that in no way will the constitutional rights or civil liberties of any American citizen be infringed upon while this exercise is being conducted," he said.

In an open letter to the commander of the state guard on Tuesday, Abbott praised the members of the U.S. military, but directed the Texas State Guard to monitor the exercise to ensure that the military did not violate Texans' rights.

"During the training operation, it is important that Texans know their safety, constitutional rights, private property rights and civil liberties will not be infringed," Abbott said

The governor's decision to deploy state troops comes after a series of bizarre conspiracy theories began circulating several weeks ago on conservative sites and right wing radio. A post on Teaparty.org claims that in more than 15 Texas cities special forces troops will try to blend in undetected among civilian populations to prepare for the imposition of martial law.

Though the governor did not specifically mention the conspiracy theorists, Abbott's deputy press secretary John Wittman told Business Insider that the decision was prompted by apprehension among some Texans.

"The Governor directed the State Guard to monitor and report on Operation Jade Helm 15 due to concerns being raised by Texas citizens," Wittman said.

The U.S. military regularly conducts exercises away from military bases, and has done so in Texas in the past without state troop oversight.

The U.S. Army Special Operations Command said in a March news release the operation will take place in states including Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado that have terrain similar to areas where Special Forces train overseas.

It will be mostly conducted in remote areas to help develop techniques and tactics for Special Operations warfare overseas, it said.

"This exercise is routine training to maintain a high level of readiness for Army Special Operations Forces since they must be ready to support potential missions anywhere in the world at a moment’s notice," it said.

Baltimore police have given their findings into the death of Freddie Gray to the state prosecutor a day earlier than the self-imposed deadline, Police Commissioner Anthony Batts announced Thursday.

Police later announced that nearly 100 officers have been injured in the days of confrontation with 13 seriously enough to be placed on medical leave and 15 on light duty. In addition, 106 people who had been arrested during the disturbances have been released because police have been unable to charge them during the 48-hour period after their arrest.

Greg Abbott is an a$$hat. Just 28% voted in the election which elected him. Just like Rick "Oops" Perry yet another republican pandering the extreme right wing of the republican base. Given the demographic trends in Texas and Southern United States, there is little no chance of Republican President after 2020.
