that mouth genuinely scares me.

I'm sure they'll eventually learn to rub on you like a kitten and jump on your shoulder and generally turn your life into a Disney cartoon...a Disney cartoon with rabies.

Absolutely but still, the protection is still there. For example, farther down in the thread it was discovered that the school actually accessed the records before the complaint was filed because they knew/suspected it was coming. That's a scary power that seems easily open for abuse.

So, I haven't really found information that better outlines what sort of relevance medical records need to have to be accessible by the school for litigation purposes under FERPA but these records would have been accessed anyway, without the law and even if she went to off-campus counseling. One of the claims in her…

I think one of the claims is that they didn't provide adequate care/follow process (in one way or th other) and are suing on damages relating to that. The defense is likely accessing the records to show that they did.

She sounds like she was pretty much a dick as a manager if you DIDN'T have kids. For fuck's sake people, some of us have lives, hobbies, OTHER family members we like to spend time with. Companies have stopped giving a shit about any of us... why do they think we'll continue to sacrifice everything, and kill ourselves…

For his family's sake, I really do hope that he can use this 15 minutes to turn things around. 27 months is a long time though. Will we remember him by then? Will he stay pretty that long? Fingers crossed.

80% with no citation. LOL, come on.

When I was suddenly given a cancer diagnosis, we were stunned. But, I later found out from my mother that he called and told her that she didn't need to worry. He was not ever leaving me and that he would take care of her only child no matter what.

For some balance lots of Indian feminists are not happy with the film either http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

As a wife who has been sick for several years and endured the strain my health added to our marriage, I don't think it's about commitment. In my situation, I was the pusher/coordinator/planner person, while my husband was the low-key calm-in-an-emergency guy, who went with the flow. Once I got sick, we both had to…

George Clooney is calling for the same strategy that worked extremely well in Cuba, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Iran, Uganda, Somalia, et cetera to be imposed on the people of Sudan and Darfur.

They never learn.

Is he talking about regular Sudan or South Sudan which he has helped create and has an equally horrible human rights record according to Gawker.

Unpopular opinion: the US version of the film was much better than the original Swedish version. Better made, better acted (except in the case of Noomi Rapace; I thought both she and Rooney were great), much closer to the book.

I used these a lot back when I was trying to decide:

Oh man, Purina. Sucks. Purina sucks.

There's a lot going on here, but I think the most interesting part is that these guys seem to think that a person's value is solely determined be how physically strong you are. Very convenient belief for a big strong guy, but they'll probably find that it's a less appealing philosophy when they get older and are just f…

As a sociologist, who has seen so many "divergent" behaviors described and assigned to subgroups, and a refusal to see those same behaviors as iterations of the same processes that are present and common in the larger society and across groups I am just hesitant to accept that this is a new and different process…

I don't know that I agree that GSA exists. What this woman explicitly describes—and what so many others describe—is an emptiness, a feeling of wanting to be loved unconditionally, a person that initially feels that need, and then it grows into something more. Why do we need GSA to understand this process? I would…
