First of all, this appears to be a Worker's Comp case. The ruling appears to be inapplicable to disabled individuals drawing SSI/SSDI benefits. However, I do know that states will cut off SSI benefits if disabled persons are incarcerated. I'm not so sure about SSDI.

I tend to support decriminalization arguments in allowing small amounts of marijuana to be sold like any other cigarette. (And taxed accordingly!) However, Gravel's arguments, if he really said that, does sound absurd. It is a drug that has side effects and can do damage to the human body.

Gotta disagree with you on that point. Jury duty by laypeople allows transparency throughout the judical system. Jury duty should be a proud and civic duty a U.S. citizen can ever undertake. Yes, I know juries aren't perfect; they make mistakes. In rare cases, they may even intentionally...

:eek3: Me Wanna! :bowdown:

Basically, its a software solution that allows you to host a web server on your computer instead of having your web content hosted with a provider like GoDaddy. L = Linux A = Apache Web Server M = MySQL database P = PHP processing language = LAMP server. For more info on Ubuntu Server...

I do use Ubuntu Linux; It was a server edition, i.e., it didn't have a gui like KDE or Gnome. I installed it on my laptop so I could use it as a test LAMP server for my webdev needs. It truly was a breeze to use and a joy to work with!

:D

Here's some ideas which I could think off-hand (pun intended!), that could work within our U.S. criminal jurisprudence; (Disclaimer; I am an attorney. :) But, I have never practiced law, much less doing any criminal law work.) Focus penalities on rehabilitation than exacting punishment. i.e...

I disagree with your contention that public defenders, by large, are a joke. I am well mindful of the fact that within any given profession, there's bound to be a couple of bad apple's, lazy people, incompetent personnel, etc. But most public defenders are well staffed, well trained, and take...

Let's hope this task force will lead to substantive reforms allowing more freer access to the state courts and the legal machinery that goes with it, for all Deaf people living in Florida.

Found it, too! Count me in as a fan. :) Very nice! Oh- Here's to a great 2008 for you, and hopefully many good tidings as far as Deaf news are concerned!

Just curious; Have you had Itinerant Teaching support services?

On that note, this doesn't sound like good news for the ODA's 'umbrella' of agencies; i.e. GLAD, DCARA, DCS, CODIE, NorCal, etc. I just hope they can survive the latest round of budgetary scrutiny in Sacto, with pretty much of their finances left intact.

FWIW, their website is now 'parked'. I'm not sure what it means. Hopefully they'll still have their expo schedule, and get their website back in order soon.

Link fixed below: Deaf Teacher Given School's Top Honor

I'm surprised our resident Deaf news guru, Ms. Delectable, hasn't picked this one up yet. A local Deaf Teacher was recently made Teacher of the Year at his school, and is in the running for district-wide Teacher of the Year honors within Miami-Dade County. Congrats! Deaf Teacher Given...

No, I didn't go on the Deaf cruise. From the looks of it, I wish I had gone on the cruise! It looked like it was a lot of fun.

Thanks to the recent Deaf Cruise, I've met Tweetybird at Hard Rock Cafe. It is always a pleasure to meet another forum member in person, and I enjoyed chatting with her for a few minutes.

You mean Google Docs? I have used it and like the fact that I can work on a word processing document from any computer. However, the editor seems to be HTML-based, and I really haven't used it as much as I have for OO or MS Office to comment on its usability and effectiveness.

What law program? Is it similar to a J.D. here in the U.S.?
