Actually, his was more of a mobil home, not an Airstream, but still the same idea.

The global loss of species is even worse than previously thought, the London Zoological Society (ZSL) says in its new Living Planet Index.
The report suggests populations have halved in 40 years, as new methodology gives more alarming results than in a report two years ago.
The report says populations of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish have declined by an average of 52%.
Populations of freshwater species have suffered an even worse fall of 76%.

Also there is a Public Safety Volunteer Institute for training Volunteer Coordinators for Volunteers in Police Service, VIPS, Reserve's,  etc. http://www.psvi.org

The other deputies explained their callous disregard for the dying subject by explaining that they didn't hear the shot from ten or twelve feet away, close enough that they themselves were in danger from it, or Bates's apology that he had shot the subject.

Bates is either completely incompetent or he is a racist who was having a little fun with a suspect.  Neither option is very flattering.  The other two deputies are clearly incompetent.  

  That said, nyjets response is more on the money. I'd go a little further and say letting "the wrong" violent criminals out early is the problem.

  Of course, it's much easier to say in hindsight when the "wrong" ones were let out than to predict with much accuracy which ones will re-offend.

   This is not, in my mind,  a "death penalty issue" the huge majority of offenders including violent offenders do not receive death or LWOP.
Some portion of those released, whether released "early" or after being denied any form of early release, will commit serious crimes following release. This link  is to a press release announcing  recent findings (the full report can be linked from that page.)

   Recidivism rates are troubling. Reasonable people can debate whether these findings lend more support to the position that longer sentences and fewer early releases are the answer or whether the better answer would be a combination of  reformed penal methods and the expenditure of more resources to prepare inmates for release with more training, counseling, treatment, etc. while incarcerated and the  continued provision of not only  services and supervision following release but programs to enable more released persons to obtain employment.

  Either approach would be very expensive and the relative increased costs are beyond my knowledge.

 As you might guess, despite the alrming recidivism rates, I support the latter idea. Even now, with poor "rehabilitation" services in prisons and  the lack of post-release services and opportunity, the stats show a minority of those released subsequently commit violent crimes.

  Released prisoners who were incarcerated for a violent, property or drug crime were more likely than other released inmates to be arrested for a similar type of crime. Regardless of the incarceration offense, the majority (58 percent) of released prisoners were arrested for a public order offense within five years of release. An estimated 39 percent of released prisoners were arrested within five years for a drug offense, 38 percent for a property offense and 29 percent for a violent offense.

And the USA Today fan poll.

The WHA Aeros were the inspiration for the 1977 movie, "Slap Shot," which starred Paul Newman as an aging, Gordy Howe-esque veteran trying to turn back the clock and lead a group of brash young players.

But alas, the NHL only accepted four WHA franchises in the '78 merger -- the Edmonton Oilers, Winnipeg Jets, Quebec Nordiques and Hartford Whalers. Without a league, the Aeros folded in July 1978.

But the more I think about the more I think the cop got really lucky in that the guy suffered minor injuries or no one walked out at a point when the car could not have been stopped.

To me its very odd that the guy never looked back, had he at the right time that cops could very well be dead or he could have went into a home and a bad situation could have gotten worse, real fast.

I am not convinced Obama doesn't think he can still compromise with them.  It's not it took 6 years to call him a Muslim, Kenyan, communist, terrorist sympathizer.

Entertainment from the Lone Star State:

Female CEO Says Women 'Shouldn't Be President' Because Of 'Different Hormones,' 'Biblical Reasoning'

Most of campaigning is outlining a platform/ideas of where you'd like to take the country.  Governing is a whole different beast.  So while I have no doubt she will attempt some of these things, I also have no doubt she will make compromises based on the political situation at the time.

That's not an unreasonable assumption, and has nothing to do with frustration about Obama, just a recognition of the reality of federal politics.

No matter what she promises on the domestic front, no matter whether she has every intention of trying to make things better for the "middle" class, she won't be able to do anything if she continues down the path of embroiling us in foreign military adventures.

And, as much as I will accept the fact that she may sincerely want to living conditions for us, she is also sincerely ensnared in the Bush mentality when it comes to flexing our muscles, depicting adversaries in black and white, sending our drones and committing our troops and our money elsewhere.

I would like to believe otherwise, but having observed and sometimes endured her performance over the last 15 years, I am extremely skeptical that she would be willing to lose the "tough" thing that she has crafted.
