MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) – Two New York counties are pulling their residents from a Pennsylvania facility for disabled teens and young adults after the deaths of two clients there in 10 months.

Officials in Nassau and Suffolk counties say they acted after the July death of 20-year-old Bryan Nevins of Oceanside, N.Y.

Nevins has severe autism. He died after being left inside an overheated van for several hours by counselors at Woods Services, in Langhorne, Pa.

The two counties had at least 11 residents at the facility.

In October, another Long Island resident died after he walked away from the facility and fell from an overpass into traffic.

This month, another counselor at Woods Services was arrested and charged with selling cocaine out of the company’s parking lot.

At 4:45 p.m. on Tuesday, July 20, park rangers were notified that a 27-year-old climber was off route on her descent on a section of The Diamond on Longs Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park. Carolyn Davidson, from Fort Collins, Colorado, and her climbing partner, had been climbing the Casual Route and had left the base of the climb at 4:30 a.m. She had climbed this specific route twice last year.

While descending, Davidson found herself off the fixed rappel route and was unable to ascend or climb to the correct rappel station. She and her climbing partner tried for roughly two hours to resolve the situation.

Davidson was able to set up an anchor and attach herself to the wall. She was well prepared with clothing to help her weather the elements; a heavy rainstorm moved through the area at 5:30 p.m. Her climbing partner rappelled to the base of Mills Glacier to find help. He contacted a park trail crew that was in the area.

At 7:15 p.m. four park rangers, who specialize in climbing and mountain rescue, were flown to the 14,259 foot summit of Longs Peak by the interagency United States Forest Service/National Park Service helicopter from Bridger-Teton National Forest and Grand Teton National Park. The helicopter was still in the area after assisting Rocky Mountain National Park during the Cow Creek Fire and responding to initial attack on another fire in Colorado.

The rangers descended from the summit to Table Ledge on the upper par...

What is the weather like all year in Vancouver BC?

All year? Oh wow, that's a lot of weather to describe!
Most our weather comes east from off the pacific ocean. We are considered the “rain coast” and for good reason. We get alot of rain.

We have 4 specific seasons here. In Autumn (oct-dec) we get lots of rain, and it starts to get a chill in the air around halloween. Sometimes it snows, mostly it rains, sometimes it storms…we've had some real bad storms in the past few years.

Our winter (jan-mar) we usually see some snow. Rarely it ever snows on Xmas though. Usually a huge dump of snow a few times a month, and then it turns to rain and washes away. Som...

PRLog (Press Release) – Aug 30, 2010 – The 2010 Notting Hill Carnival continues apace on August Bank Holiday Monday, with it's usual mix of parades, parties, music, comedy, floats, caribbean flavour and entertainment.

This webcam view is covering the carnival live:

http://www.myworldwebcams.com/uk/notting_hill.html

Carnival Background:

The roots of Carnival come from two separate but connected strands. Carnival began in January 1959 in St Pancras Town Hall as a response to the depressing state of race relations at the time. This carnival organised by Claudia Jones (a "Trini") who is widely recognised as 'the Mother of Notting Hill Carnival', was a huge success, despite being held indoors. The London Free School inspired festival was the first organised outside event in August 1966. The prime mover was Rhaune Laslett, who was not aware of the indoor events when she first raised the idea. This was a more diverse Notting Hill event to promote cultural unity but overlapping with earlier events by the involvement of Russ Henderson's steel band who had played at the earlier Claudia Jones events.

By 1976, the event had become definitely Caribbean in flavour, with around 150,000 people attending. However, in that year and several subsequent years, Carnival was marred by riots, in which predominantly Caribbean youths fought with police a target due to the continuous harassment the population felt they were un...

Arizona dove hunters can enjoy sunrise and sunset hunts
The 2010 September season will be open all-day, for all ages, statewide

PHOENIX – For the 35,000 or more dove-hunters that might have missed the news, here it is one more time. The September 1-15 dove season will be open to all-day hunting, statewide.

“Our data supports that it is time to return to all-day dove hunts in the early season, said Mike Rabe, migratory game bird and small game supervisor for the Arizona Game and Fish Department. “Times have changed with hunting areas being pushed further out of the urban center.  That forces hunters to travel greater distances to take part in Arizona’s longstanding dove hunting tradition. On top of that, we are seeing reductions in the hunting pressure and harvest from what we had in the mid to late 1980s when we initiated the half-day hunts.”

With this change and a Wednesday opener, hunters that are unable to take the day off from work, or pull a young one out of school, can now head out to the field at quitting time and still have a chance to harvest some of the lightning-fast, acrobatic, adrenaline-pumping birds of the desert.

Kyle, Steven is correct.
.
The Second Amendment has never been incorporated so as to supercede state law. The second amendment only applies to the ability of the federal government to interfere with the right to own and bear arms within federal jurisdictions. Washington DC would be one such example.
.
Our state's constitution is what confers gun rights to our state's citizens. We are fortunate that, in terms of gun rights, our state constitution is, in some ways, more aggressive in its assertion of the right of people to own and use guns. This state does not allow individual local jurisdictions to make their own laws regarding firearms. Further, our state requires any legal jurisdiction to issue a concealed carry permit ON DEMAND, if the individual is legally able to purchase a firearm.
.
Many people had hopes that the Chicago vs McDonald case would fully incorporate the 2nd amendment, but it appears that it hasn't. It did recognize the right of ALL legal residents in the US to possess a firearm. What it didn't do was fully address whether or not individual jurisdictions, like Chicago, can impose myriad limitations on HOW an individual can obtain a gun. So, Chicago can no longer impose an outright ban on gun ownership, but it is making the process of ownership an onerous burden with regulations. Of course, the city has been slapped with at least ...

Step 2 - Making Your Mark

Whether you have decided upon one installation or many, the next step involves using your drill to penetrate the wall of your house or whatever it is that you are attaching the weatherproof outlet to. Keep the drill bit straight for the entirety of the incision, as it will make wire threading much easier later on. You should be left with a small hole running from the outside of the house into a room with a power socket inside.

Step 3 - The RCD

The Residual Current Device is a piece of safety equipment that is highly recommended when installing your own weatherproof electrical sockets. It monitors currents running from your house's electricity supply and ensures that all levels remain stable and safe throughout its use. As it will be plugged into your indoor socket, it also allows you the convenience of being able to unplug your weatherproof outlet from inside. This may be useful if you know the following months will be filled with heavy rain or simply if you just want to save some energy.

Step 4 - Attaching Outlet

Now that everything is prepared, you must attach a short length (no more than 4 - 5 foot) of electrical wiring to the backplate of the electrical outlet box you have purchased and run it through the drill hole until the socket box is flush with the outside wall. Once snug, attach the outlet using screws or however the outlet manual spec...
