I am not agreeing with expelling/detaining/arresting a teenager solely based off of drawing a weapon. However, the police found something which made them feel an arrest was warranted so I wonder if there is more to the story. Maybe it was just bleach and tin foil, maybe it was something worse. We don't know, the article doesn't tell us. A lot of people are assuming some kid doodled a grenade on a notebook and got expelled and arrested over nothing; maybe the kid had severe behavioral/psychological issues, he drew some f-ed up pictures that spooked the teacher, the cops investigated and found some very bad things at his house. Or maybe not, we don't know. I'm not taking a side, I am saying there may be more to the story we aren't hearing.

Although the story seems disturbing, it never goes into any detail about the student's behavior which prompted the search nor does it say what exactly was found in the student's home. Without more details the story, left this vague, is borderline sensationalism. The student could have been exhibiting some extreme behavior which the school could have been subsequently been lambasted for not following through with.

Your company should track all "Personal Breaks" together and not specify whether it's a bathroom break or not. A personal break would be a smoke break, getting water/food, bathroom, etc. There is no reason to break it down further in my opinion. I'm a call center manager, and at our company we lump all that stuff together. At the end of the month if someone is not meeting their percent time work goals we can see how much of the problem is attributed to personal breaks vs. other things, such as off the phone research. But I personally don't want to know that someone was taking a dump for 20 min.

I love my Les Paul, but the strat is the most comfortable guitar i've ever held.

Dont know what AV software you are running, but the new AVG 8.0 basically killed performance on my XP desktop and Vista laptop. I had serious performance issues after upgrading to this. You can install without some of the unneccesary features and turn other features off and this helped.

We ship our clients 4GB IronKey flash drives along with postmarked return envelopes so they can securely send my company sensitive financial data. We did discover one security flaw with our IronKey process however. The drive ships to the client blank with a piece of paper with basic instructions, including the password for the drive. The first drive I received from UPS arrived on my desk with the IronKey drive with the client's private data, encrypted and safe from prying eyes. Along with the drive was the damn sheet of paper with the password on it. That prompted me to add a comment to the instructions at the bottom in boldface: "DO NOT RETURN THIS PAPER WITH THE IRONKEY". I have since received two more IronKey drives, with the instructions (and password) included in the package. Lesson: Never underestimate the stupidity of a client. The IronKey works great however.
