Q: Limit string from another string I have
char filemem[14], *file, *path;
file = strcpy(filemem,"/path/to/file");
path = file - 4;

I want to have char *path = file - 4 such that char *path only reads /path/to/. Is it possible to show part of the pointer with out having to create a copy of the string into another memory

A: In C, strings are always terminated by the NUL byte ('\0').
char *path = file - 4 would point to an address four bytes in front of the file pointer. It does not mean "truncate the string by four bytes".
In order to truncate a string, you must place a NUL byte one past your desired final character. If your string is read-only, you must have additional memory to copy the desired characters over. There is no way to have a slice of a C string that ends before the NUL terminating byte, and still have it be valid for functions that expect a NUL terminated string.
Some examples:
Modifying the existing string:
int main(void) {
    char file[] = "/path/to/file";
    strrchr(file, '/')[1] = '\0';

    puts(file);
}

Copying a substring from read-only memory:
char *repath(const char *path) {
    size_t len = strrchr(path, '/') - path + 1;
    return strncpy(calloc(len + 1, 1), path, len);
}

int main(void) {
    const char *file = "/path/to/file";
    char *fileless = repath(file);

    puts(fileless);
    free(fileless);
}

(Error handling omitted in both examples for brevity. strrchr and calloc can return NULL.)

A: If by "show" you mean printing, you can use %.*s as variable precision specifier when formatting the string with printf to truncate it:
    const char * path = "/path/to/file";
    int filename_offset = strrchr(path,'/') - path +1;

    printf("path     : %.*s\n", filename_offset, path);
    printf("filename : %s\n", path + filename_offset);

Output:
path     : /path/to/
filename : file

As a mom, I see danger everywhere. Choking hazards, tripping obstacles, slippery when wet, caution—flammable. Everywhere. Continuously living in that tenuous moment before potential death or major injury.
The universe, at this point in history, has deemed it necessary.
And yet. This moment finds me on a chair pushed haphazardly beneath the smoke detector after drinking two whiskeys in front of the flickering fireplace on a January afternoon.
I'd been suffering vertigo. Dizziness. Muscle pain and body aches. I drank some Scotch, thinking that should help.
I timed it perfectly so I could get you off the bus. I walked the whole way through the backyard in the freezing rain that'd been falling all day. Over the mushy, slushy, mostly melted snow pocked with the boot prints and sled tracks from our weekend frolic.
I made it all the way to the bus stop at the corner of the block. Upright. You started asking questions right away as you plopped off the bus and stomped across the street to me.
You: What are we doing today?
You: Are we going anywhere?
You: Who can I play with?
You: Can I go up to the neighbor's house?
A battering of questions. As always. I stopped you and calmly explained that I still wasn't well. Haven't been feeling well all day.
Me: I need your respect.
Me: I need you to listen to me the one and only time I will say this—we are going home to relax.
Me: You can watch TV or videos or play games. Whatever you want.
Me: Daddy will be home in a couple hours and will decide what happens next.
Me: Do not ask me anything else.
You were so kind to me. You complied without a fuss. I asked how your day was as we squished through the slush along the curb. You said 'good' and started to explain the nature of snow.
Back at home, I threw another log on the fire in lieu of pouring more Scotch. I got us marshmallows for a snack. The smoke detector shrieked into the Monday blues. I actually double-checked that I had not set the house ablaze, even though I know the alarm reacts at the slightest hint of a smoky aroma.
As I grab a chair from the dining room table, I give you two little white pillows and stuff one in my mouth. I climb the chair. Tipsy. Sick. Dizzy in a smoky room. With a marshmallow in my mouth.

Who's rebuilding, who's reloading? NFC edition
As the NFL draft wound down, and I tried to get Mel Kiper's voice out of my head, I had an idea – let's evaluate which NFL teams are rebuilding and which are reloading, and whether each team is taking the right approach. Here's the NFC edition; click here for the AFC edition.
Dallas is reloading – After their first playoff win in nearly 15 years, the Cowboys kept the band together for the most part. They cut OT Flozell Adams and S Ken Hamlin, but both players had hit steep declines. The draft class starred Dez Bryant, who will add a receiving weapon for an offense that emerged last year, and ILB Sean Lee, who could plug in if Keith Brooking starts to struggle. The Cowboys believe their time is now, and last year's results were good enough that such a strategy is sound. Verdict: Right approach
New York Giants are reloading – The Giants started to fall off the table last year, both on defense and on the offensive line. But instead of starting a major overhaul, the Giants are trying a patchwork approach. The biggest changes are at safety, where C.C. Brown is out, and Antrel Rolle and Deon Grant are in. First-round DE Jason Pierre-Paul is a developmental prospect who should spice up a pass rush that struggled last year, and second-round DT Linval Joseph shores up the interior. It seems like the Giants' team that won the Super Bowl is getting old, though, and we have to wonder if more aggressive changes were in order. Verdict: Wrong approach
Philadelphia is rebuilding – The Eagles, despite making the playoffs again last year, went on a major rebuilding effort in the offseason in an effort to set themselves up not just for 2010 but for the first half of the new decade. So Kevin Kolb replaces Donovan McNabb, LeSean McCoy and Mike Bell replace Brian Westbrook, and LB Ernie Sims and DE Darryl Tapp add to a defense that gave up CB Sheldon Brown and LB Will Witherspoon. Then the draft added a ton of players like DE Brandon Graham and S Nate Allen who could develop into building blocks. This is rebuidling on the fly, and the Eagles seem to be doing it well. While it may lead to a slight step back this season, it sets them up to continue being a model franchise. Verdict: Right approach
Washington is rebuilding – Now that the Mike Shanahan era has begun, the Redskins are doing a full overhaul on the roster. QB Donovan McNabb is the marquee signing, but guys like DT Maake Kemeoatu and OG Artis Hicks are significant as well. Washington didn't have a ton of draft picks, but OT Trent Williams should become a building block. The Redskins added a bunch of veterans to try to speed the rebuilding process, especially on offense, and time will tell if that's the right approach, but Washington needed change on offense badly. Verdict: Right approach
Chicago is reloading – The Bears were hamstrung into their reloading strategy by a couple of factors. First, Lovie Smith is on the hot seat, and so he needs to win now. Also, last year's Jay Cutler and Gaines Adams trades took Chicago's first two draft picks and forced them into the free-agent market for most of their help. Drafted S Major Wright could help immediately, but the big help will come from imports DE Julius Peppers and RB Chester Taylor. Given the situation the Bears had entering the season, they took the only tack they could. Verdict: Right approach
Detroit is rebuilding – The Lions continued to tinker with the back end of the roster and strategically add key pieces. In free agency, they brought in Kyle Vanden Bosch and Nate Burleson to help Ndamukong Suh and Matthew Stafford thrive. That strategy is no coincidence. Jahvid Best and Tony Scheffler also become offensive weapons who should make life easier for Stafford. Detroit has really upgraded its roster over the past few years, and while they're still behind, respectability is on the horizon. Verdict: Right approach
Green Bay is reloading – The Packers continued their build-through-the-draft strategy, which means that they're always adding players around the edges and keeping the core intact. The Packers again this year don't have any significant free-agent additions, so it's up to draftees Bryan Bulaga, Mike Neal, and Morgan Burnett to provide a talent infusion. But because the Packers have built so well through the draft for so long, this strategy can now sustain itself. Verdict: Right approach
Minnesota is reloading – The Vikings haven't gotten much help through free agency, aside from CB Lito Sheppard, but this final-four team was close enough that a few tweaks could be enough. The Vikes had better hope this is true, because a draft class headlined by Chris Cook isn't exciting, although Toby Gerhart and Everson Griffen could find roles. Verdict: Right approach
Atlanta is reloading – The Falcons made one of the big strikes of free agency by adding CB Dunta Robinson, who addresses a position of need for a team coming off back-to-back winning seasons for the first time. First-round LB Sean Witherspoon adds a jolt to the defense as well. Those additions, combined with the fact that Atlanta hasn't lost any significant players, will keep the Falcons in the hunt. Verdict: Right approach
Carolina is rebuilding – While the Falcons haven't lost that much, Carolina purged a ton of veterans – losing Julius Peppers in free agency, trading Chris Harris, and cutting longtime stalwarts Jake Delhomme, Maake Kemeoatu, Na'il Diggs, Damione Lewis, and Brad Hoover. Carolina is going young, which also means going cheap. So Matt Moore and Jimmy Clausen will battle at quarterback, and the defensive line will look completely different. The Panthers played well after a slow start, and so this step back hurts fans, but it's better to rebuild a year early than a year late. Verdict: Right approach
New Orleans is reloading – The Super Bowl champs are trying to get back, and so they added Alex Brown to replace the disappointing Charles Grant and re-signed Darren Sharper to another one-year deal. They lose some important players like Mike Bell, Jamar Nesbit, and Scott Fujita, but none of those were core players, and that means the Saints should be in the mix yet again. Verdict: Right approach
Tampa Bay is rebuilding – The Buccaneers need a ton of help, and they're aware of those needs. The draft brought DT help in Gerald McCoy and Bryan Price and WR help in Arrelious Benn and Mike Williams. That's not all the help the Bucs needed, but those two positions are now in development, as is quarterback with '09 first-rounder Josh Freeman. The Bucs still have several more trouble spots to address, but at least they're checking a few spots off the to-do-list. Verdict: Right approach
Arizona is rebuilding – The Cardinals are coming off back-to-back playoff appearances, but they've undergone a pretty significant roster change this offseason. Gone are stars Kurt Warner, Anquan Boldin, Karlos Dansby, and Antrel Rolle. In are QB Derek Anderson, who will compete with Matt Leinart, and OGs Alan Faneca and Rex Hadnot, who will help the Cards move toward more of a run-first approach. On defense, rookies Dan Williams and Daryl Washington provide reinforcements. Arizona is trying to remake its image further, and it's necessary with Warner's quick release now in retirement. Verdict: Right approach
St. Louis is rebuilding – The Rams are in the midst of serious roster overhaul, and first overall pick Sam Bradford is at the center of it. To help Bradford, fellow rookies Rodger Saffold and Mardy Gilyard come aboard as well. In free agency, the Rams mainly played around the margins with guys like Na'il Diggs, Hank Fraley, and Fred Robbins, hoping these vets can keep them competitive as they develop younger talent. As bad as the roster was in St. Louis, rebuilding wasn't a choice – it was a necessity. Verdict: Right approach
San Francisco is reloading – Mike Singletary has kept the Niners on the fringe of contention lately, and now the Niners are going for the jugular. First-round OTs Anthony Davis and Mike Iupati add the kind of physical nastiness that Singletary wants from his line, while Taylor Mays and Navarro Bowman add speed to the defense. Free-agent signee Travis LaBoy and trade acquisition Ted Ginn Jr. are the kinds of role players a team on the verge likes to add to keep moving forward. Alex Smith will have to come through for this to be the right approach for San Francisco, but we can understand why the Niners are making their bets this way. Verdict: Right approach
Seattle is rebuilding – The Seahawks seemed to get old suddenly over the past two years, and new head coach Pete Carroll has been incredibly proactive in trying to reverse that trend. Rookies Golden Tate, Earl Thomas, and Russell Okung could all start immediately, as the Seahawks try to replace the departed Nate Burleson, Deon Grant, and the retired Walter Jones. Most of all, the Seahawks tried to set up their future at quarterback by paying handsomely for Chargers third-stringer Charlie Whitehurst. It remains to be seen whether the Seahawks have picked the right guys in their rebuilding project, but for now we can at least give them credit for having a clear picture of just how bad the roster was. Verdict: Right approach

FR: April pre-draft signings
In this post, we're comparing signings between the beginning of April and the NFL draft. For previous signings in free agency, go to the March signings post and work your way back. We're using a comparison in which 10 marks the team with the most noteworthy moves and 1 indicates the team with barely noteworthy moves.
10 – Jets (added UFA OLB Jason Taylor) – Taylor is a specialty player at this point as a 3-4 outside pass rusher, but he had seven sacks in that role last year and should be able to shine in Rex Ryan's attacking scheme. He got a two-year deal nominally worth $13 million, but in reality it's a one-year deal worth up to $3.75 million with a bunch of funny money in the second year. Taylor will help the Jets continue to gear up for a major run at a championship this year. And his Dancing with the Stars-inspired acting career won't suffer from a year in the Big Apple, either.
9 – none
8 – Saints (added DE Alex Brown and UFA DT Jimmy Wilkerson) – Brown was cut in Chicago after Julius Peppers landed there, and now he makes his way to New Orleans. There, he'll take the spot of former first-round disappointment Charles Grant. Brown is a pretty good (but not great) defensive end who can rush the passer and stop the run, and he's better than any other defensive end on the market in April – by a lot. For the Saints to get him was a coup that came at a reasonable two-year, $5.5 million price. That's fair but not excessive starter money. Wilkerson got a one-year, $2 million deal even though he's recovering from an ACL injury. If he gets healthy, he'll be a fine second or third tackle who can help stabilize the interior of the Saints' defense.
7 – Vikings (added CB Lito Sheppard) – Sheppard has bounced around the last couple of years, after being dissatisfied in Philly and falling out of favor with the Jets. But he's still a pretty good player who will help a Vikings secondary that's probably the weak link on an otherwise stacked team. Sheppard can't play man-on-man coverage all day long, but he can be a dependable cog in a strong defense, and that's exactly what the Vikings have. So getting Sheppard for $2 million over one year is a coup for the Vikes.
6 – Patriots (added WR Torry Holt, DT Damione Lewis and P David King) – Holt had an OK but not spectacular season in Jacksonville last year, and he's definitely falling off from his Greatest Show on Turf days. Holt will get up to $1.7 million this year, which is a fair price for a veteran receiver, but you have to wonder if the Holt signing will repeat the failed Joey Galloway experiment of last year. Lewis had plenty of good moments as a rotation tackle for the Panthers, showing that he can get into the backfield on occasion. But the Panthers, in a youth movement, let Lewis walk. Now he goes to New England, where the Pats need a backup who can bring the pass-rush skills that Jarvis Green used to bring. Lewis is a decent bet to fill that role well, and that makes him worth a low-cost shot for the Pats. King is another of the Australian Rules Football players trying to make the move into the NFL punting fraternity.
5 – Giants (added S Deon Grant, kept UFA P Jeff Feagles) – Grant has started every game for the last nine seasons for Seattle, Jacksonville, and Carolina, and his presence at free safety will help protect the Giants against Kenny Phillips' major 2009 injury. With Grant and Antrel Rolle, the Giants now have a solid safety duo in a spot that was troublesome last year. Feagles returns for a 23rd season, and he remains one of the best directional kickers in the league. Feagles isn't the boomer he once was, but he gets the job done.
5 (con't) – Bengals (kept UFA OG Bobbie Williams) – Williams was perhaps the best guard on the market, but the Bengals were able to get a deal to keep him around. He's been a starter for the last three years, and his physical blocking is one of the reasons the Bengals have strengthened their run game the last two years.
4 – Redskins (added UFA RB Willie Parker, UFA DT Howard Green, WR Roydell Williams, and RB Ryan Torain) – Parker becomes the latest import into the Redskins' aged backfield, as the Redskins are paying him up to $3.1 million on a one-year deal. This is an uncapped-year special by Washington, which is giving Parker a chance to vie for carries against fellow vets Clinton Portis and Larry Johnson. Parker doesn't have the speed he did in his Fast Willie days, but he probably still has more pop than Portis or Johnson does at this point. Perhaps a five- to eight-carry role will allow Parker to showcase what speed he has left. But our suspicion is that the Redskins just wasted a couple million dollars on a bet that won't come in. Green is a sturdy 3-4 nose tackle who should probably be a backup but who can fit the role as the Redskins move to that defensive system. Williams once was a prospect for the Titans, but he hasn't played an NFL game since 2007. Torain was a Shanahan favorite two seasons ago in Denver before injuries shortened his rookie campaign. It's hard to see him getting a shot behind Parker, Portis, and Johnson, but Torain probably landed with the coach most likely to give him a fair shot.
4 (con't) – Rams (added LB Na'il Diggs) – Diggs, part of the Panthers' purge of experienced players this year, lands in St. Louis, where his former LB coach Ken Flajole is the defensive coordinator. Diggs can take over the veteran role Will Witherspoon had in St. Louis before being traded last year. Diggs is consistent, but he doesn't make many plays from the outside linebacker spot.
4 (con't) – Seahawks (added OG Ben Hamilton and WRs Mike Williams and Reggie Williams) – The Seahawks' receiving corps is pretty sorry, and so Pete Carroll is taking a shot on a couple of reclamation projects. Mike Williams, who played for Carroll at USC, hasn't panned out anywhere as a top-10 draft pick. Reggie Williams showed some flashes of ability in Jacksonville, most recently in 2008, but he sat out last year after repeated legal problems. Reggie is more likely than Mike to make the 2010 roster, but both of these guys look like longshots at this point. Hamilton started eight games for the Broncos last year, but as a holdover from Alex Gibbs' days as the line guru in Denver, he no longer fit the Broncos. But Gibbs is now in Seattle, and Hamilton's knowledge of and fit in the system makes him a natural to replace the traded Rob Sims at left guard, at least in the short term.
3 – Lions (kept DE Jared DeVries) – DeVries, who Detroit had released in the offseason, returns to the only team he has played for on a one-year, $1.7 million deal. He's probably better off as a backup at this point in his career, but DeVries is a veteran who can still be an asset.
3 (con't) – Jaguars (kept UFA DE Reggie Hayward) – Hayward returns for his sixth season in Jacksonville after coming off an injury that limited him to a single game in '09. He's little more than a rotation pass-rusher at this point, but he could provide depth behind youngsters Quentin Groves and Derrick Harvey and offseason acquisition Aaron Kampman.
2 – Cardinals (added UFA PK Jay Feely) – Feely, whom the Jets didn't make a big push to retain, moves to Arizona, where he'll replace Neil Rackers. Feely has been a reliable kicker in past years, and moving out of the Meadowlands into the Arizona dome at age 34 could help prolong his effectiveness.
2 (con't) – Texans (added UFA Neil Rackers) – Rackers lost his gig to Feely in Arizona, and so he moves to Houston to compete with Kris Brown. Neither Rackers nor Brown was at his best last year, and the Texans' prolific offense needs a consistent kicker to produce maximum points. If Rackers makes good and wins the job from Brown, he'll earn $4.1 million over two years. But with only $350,000 guaranteed, Rackers will have to go out and take the job from Brown.
2 (con't) – 49ers (added UFA OLB Travis LaBoy) – LaBoy missed the entire 2009 season with torn tendons in his foot, but before that injury he had 23.5 sacks in five years with the Cardinals and Titans. At age 28, he's worth a one-year, $1.6 million risk to see if he can recapture his pass-rush skills.
2 (con't) – Bears (kept UFA LB Pisa Tinoisamoa) – The linebacker we affectionately call The Tower missed most of his first Chicago season with injury, but he knows Lovie Smith's defense well from St. Louis days and can be an effective fill-in starter.
2 (con't) – Steelers (kept UFA DE Nick Eason) – Eason started five games last year, but he's best as a fourth defensive end who can hold up in the 3-4 defense. He's also one of the all-time good guys and the subject of one of the most telling stories I picked up covering Clemson football back in 2001. Just for personal reasons, I'm glad to see Eason stay in the league as long as possible.
1 – Browns (added C Eric Ghiaciuc) – Ghiaciuc started at center for the Bengals for several years, but he bounced around last year. Now he lands in Cleveland as Alex Mack's backup.
1 (con't) – Titans (added QB Chris Simms) – The Titans brought back Simms, who spent last year with Denver, to serve as the No. 3 quarterback behind Vince Young and Kerry Collins.
1 (con't) – Raiders (added QB Kyle Boller) – Boller, who started a few games as the Rams' backup last year, moves to Oakland to serve as the No. 3 quarterback behind JaMarcus Russell and Bruce Gradkowski. Gradkowski's offseason pectoral muscle injury makes having Boller, a veteran who knows new offensive coordinator Hue Jackson, a nice insurance policy.
1 (con't) – Panthers (added PK Todd Carter and S Aaron Francisco; claimed DB Brian Witherspoon on waivers) – Carter, a small-school kicker, comes in to serve as the kickoff guy in Carolina. The Panthers had Rhys Lloyd in that role last year, but finding a first-year player to fill that role saves them $800,000. And right now, every penny seems to count in Carolina. Francisco is a special-teams ace who has played on the last two Super Bowl losers. He won't make much of a defensive impact, but he could help replace the departed Dante Wesley. Witherspoon brings some kick return skills.

Post-draft cutbacks
We've done two cutbacks posts thus far this offseason, one detailing cuts before free agency opened and one between the beginning of the new league year and the draft. But after the draft, there were some pretty significant cuts, and so we decided to begin a new post to compare those. This is once again a relativity poll with 10 being the most significant cuts and 1 being cuts that are merely worth mentioning. We'll continue updating this post, so check back.
10 – Cardinals (cut RB Edgerrin James, DE Travis LaBoy, and CB Rod Hood) – James was a high-dollar free-agent acquisition three seasons ago, and he had two good seasons before beginning to decline last season. With the emergence of Tim Hightower last year and the selection of Beanie Wells in the first round, James became extraneous. The question is whether he has enough left to still contribute somewhere or if he's just having the end-of-career dropoff that all running backs seem to have. Regardless, he's had a great career with more than 12,000 rushing yards. LaBoy was one of Arizona's big-money signings last year (5 years, $22 million), but injuries limited his effectiveness, and he only had four sacks last year. His price tag was just too high. Hood started 14 games last year, but he wasn't good enough, and the Cards replaced him with Bryant McFadden in free agency.
9 – Bengals (cut OT Levi Jones, RBs Chris Perry and Gary Russell, S Mike Doss and Ps Kyle Larson and Ryan Plackemeier) – Jones was once a top-10 pick, and he started for a long time for Cincinnati. But injuries sapped his effectiveness over the past few years, and the Bengals finally replaced him by drafting Andre Smith at No. 6 overall this year. Jones would have been cut earlier, but Cincinnati waited to get his replacement in house before pulling the plug. Jones could still land somewhere as a backup tackle who's good enough to play in a pinch but probably can't play 16 games without getting dinged up. For his sake, we'll hope he lands with a contender in that kind of role after years of meaningless games in Cincy. Perry was a former first-round pick who fought injuries so often that he never really lived up to his potential. He was talked about as a starter going into the '08 season after the Bengals released Rudi Johnson, but injuries derailed him again. Still, Perry is a good enough pass catcher to at least get a look as a third-down back elsewhere if he can stay healthy. Russell was a waiver claim from Pittsburgh just before the draft, but after the Bengals picked two backs, he became expendable. Doss was a former Colts prospect who disappointed for a second team. Larson and Plackemeier were cut after the Bengals drafted Kevin Huber, who looks to take over the punting job.
8 – Cowboys (cut DE/OLB Greg Ellis) – Ellis came to Dallas in 1998 in the midst of a firestorm, because the Cowboys picked him in the top 10 instead of selecting Randy Moss. While Ellis was never the difference maker that Moss was and is. He had 77 sacks in his career and was also a solid run-stopper. When Bill Parcells came to Dallas and switched the defense to a 3-4, Ellis was unhappy with his role. Still, as an outside linebacker, he tallied 12 sacks and won comeback player of the year honors in '07 coming off an injury. That would suggest the Ellis still has something to contribute in a limited pass rushing role somewhere like Carolina or Washington. The Cowboys, meanwhile, will rely on former first-round pick Anthony Spencer to finally emerge as an impact guy. But Spencer has a long way to go to fill Ellis' shoes.
7 – Steelers (cut ILB Larry Foote and P Dirk Johnson) – Foote has started every game for five years in a row, but '07 first-rounder Lawrence Timmons is ready to take that spot. Foote is a solid run-stuffer who has to come off the field in obvious passing situations. Those limitations made his $2.8 million salary-cap number too rich for the Steelers.
7 (con't) – Redskins (cut OT Jon Jansen and WR James Thrash) – Jansen was a stalwart of the Redskins' offensive line for 10 seasons after joining the team as a second-round pick. He started 123 games in that time, almost all at right tackle. He was a physical run blocker who held his own in the passing game as well. He missed most of the 2007 season with an injury, though, and last year he only started 11 games. Although he was never a Pro Bowler, he was generally an asset as a starter until the last couple of years. But declining performance, coupled with a contract that lasts until 2011, made him expendable. The Skins don't really have a replacement lined up, unless they want to depend on Jeremy Bridges or recent fill-in Stephon Heyer. So they may have to invest in a veteran – someone like a Jon Runyan – to fill in until they get a replacement ready to go. Thrash, a 12-year vet, failed his physical due to a bulging disc in his neck. He's never been a top receiver, but he's always found a role as a backup and special-teams dynamo. He carved out a pretty good career, and Washington seems open to bringing him back if he gets healthy. But if this is it, he should be proud.
6 – Lions (cut CB Travis Fisher, OT George Foster, QB Drew Henson, and LB Alex Lewis) – Fisher was brought over last year from St. Louis to be a starter, but Detroit spent most of this offseason signing corners to replace him. He still considered himself a starter, which might have been why the new regime cut the cord so quickly. Still, Fisher will latch on somewhere. Foster, a former first-round pick in Denver, was part of the package the Lions got in exchange for CB Dre Bly a couple of years ago. But Foster never lived up to his potential, and after Detroit added Jon Jansen and Ephriam Salaam this offseason, someone had to go, and Foster was that someone. Henson, a former top prospect both in baseball and football, was Detroit's No. 3 quarterback last year, but he was released as the Lions put in a claim on John Beck (see above). Henson's chances to make it in the NFL are just about gone. Lewis was a five-year Lion who played most on special teams, but he became replacable as Detroit worked to improve its talent at linebacker this offseason.
6 (con't) – Falcons (cut QB Michael Vick, C Alex Stepanovich and OT Renardo Foster) – It's hard to know how to compare Vick, who hasn't played in two years, to other cuts because at this point, the Falcons have moved on. They have a new franchise quarterback in Matt Ryan and a new playing style. Plus, they were basically forced to release Vick so that they didn't end up having to pay him when he is eventually reinstated. So Vick is now free to try to find a team. His talents fit the new Wildcat fad across the league, but it's going to be hard for a team to stomach the firestorm of publicity (or even criticism) that would come with signing Vick. This release is just the next step in a drama that still has miles to go. Stepanovich and Foster were once both prospects, but they fell in line as mere backups in Atlanta. Maybe a change of scenery will help, or maybe they're just not all that good.
5 – Rams (cut LB Pisa Tinoisamoa) – Tinoisamoa — known as as The Tower here on FR — was the Rams' leading tackler in 2008 with 135 stops, so it was somewhat surprising that he was released just after the team's first minicamp. But the Tower Pisa was leaning too much the previous two years as he missed a bunch of time with injury. Once the Rams invested a second-round pick in James Laurinaitis, the Tower's starting spot was gone. He's not special, but he's an effective inside 'backer who can clean up tackles if he's protected. With so many teams moving to 3-4 defenses, there will be someone who can use the Tower at one of those inside spots, at least for two downs. He doesn't merit a big contract, but he does deserve a starting spot in the league.
4 – Broncos (cut RBs Selvin Young and J.J. Arrington, LBs Boss Bailey and Louis Green) – Young entered last year as a starter, but injuries limited him to just eight games. After drafting Knowshon Moreno and signing three vets, there was no more room for Young in Denver. He should end up as a backup somewhere in the league, though. The Broncos added Arrington as part of their free-agency binge, and even with the glut of running backs Denver brought in – Arrington, Correll Buckhatler, Lamont Jordan, and Moreno – Arrington looked to have a solid role based on underrated his triple threat skills. But Arrington had a knee injury in Arizona, and he never was healthy enough to pass a physical in Denver. The Broncos lost about $100,000 but had protected themselves against a greater loss by the way they structured Arrington's contract. His departure won't be a huge blow at running back, but he would have helped if he had been healthy. Bailey, brother of Broncos star CB Champ Bailey, started six games last year before suffering a knee injury and undergoing microfracture surgery. The former Lion is undersized and hasn't performed well enough in the pros to really carve out a role. If he can prove he's healthy, he might find a roster spot for a team that plays a 4-3, but this knee surgery might prove to be the end for him. Green is a special-teams ace who is replacable, especially considering the system change the Broncos are undergoing right now.
3 – Saints (cut DTs Brian Young and Hollis Thomas and LS Kevin Houser) – Young is a solid veteran who has been so battered by injuries that his effectiveness has been severely limited. Unfortunately, this could be the end of the line for him, but if he gets healthy he can fit into someone's rotation as a backup. Thomas is a huge inside player who missed most of last season with injury. Because of his size, someone will take a look to see if he can still play 15-20 snaps a game. Houser had been the Saints' long snapper since 2000, but the team decided Jason Kyle was an upgrade there and so they made the switch and cut Houser. He should find work elsewhere, either in camp or because of injury during the season.
3 (con't) – Buccaneers (cut QB Brian Griese) – Griese's second tour of duty in Tampa Bay came to an end, and it wasn't unexpected. After signing Luke McCown to a backup-quality deal in the offseason, then adding Byron Leftwich, and then drafting Josh Freeman in the first round, there was simply no room for Griese. The 11-year veteran still has enough to be a decent backup if he wants to keep playing, but he also has been around long enough that retirement could be an option. If it is, the former third-round pick who succeeded John Elway can rest in the fact that he had a solid if unspectacular career.
2 – Dolphins (cut QB John Beck) – Beck was a second-round pick in '07, but once his advocate Cam Cameron was fired, he quickly fell out of favor with new decision-maker Bill Parcells. It took just one year for Chad Henne to pass Beck as the Dolphins' signal-caller of the future. Beck still has talent, so he'll get another shot (apparently next in Detroit as a backup).
2 (con't) 49ers (cut S Jimmy Williams) – The former Atlanta second-round pick was out of football last year after flaming out with the Falcons. The 49ers had signed him earlier in the offseason as a flier, but he obviously didn't leave an impression during minicamps, because he was quickly released. Williams has size, but how many chances does he have left?
2 (con't) Jaguars (cut CB William James and QB Cleo Lemon) – James, formerly known as Will Peterson, spent eight years in the NFL, the last one with Jacksonville. He's probably a marginal NFL player at best at this point, which means he's a roster fill-in but not much more. Lemon was once thought to have potential, and he actually started some games with the Dolphins, but Jacksonville chose to go with Todd Bouman as its backup quarterback instead. Lemon at this point is no better than a No. 3 QB.
2 (con't) – Jets (cut TE Bubba Franks) – Franks, the long-time Packer, had only six catches in his first season with the Jets in '08. In fact, his primary role might have been as terminology translator for Brett Favre once Favre joined the Jets in training camp. The Jets resigned Franks in the offseason but released him on the eve of training camp. That seems to indicate that Franks is getting very close to the end of his career.
1 – Chargers (cut TE Scott Chandler and CB DeJuan Tribble) – San Diego gave up on Chandler, a fourth-rounder in '07, and Tribble, a sixth-rounder last year, after selecting this year's draft picks.
1 (con't) – Patriots (cut RB Patrick Pass) – Pass, one of only 7 Patriots who was on all three Super Bowl winners, has been out of football since 2007. He signed with the Patriots in early June but was released one week later, which seems to indicate that he is in fact done with his NFL career.
1 (con't) – Raiders (cut LB Stryker Sulak) – In an unusual move, the Raiders cut Sulak, a sixth-round pick, before he even signed a contract or reported to training camp. That's either a failure in scouting – teams should have enough players on their draft board that a sixth-rounder is someone they like – or an organizational cheapness that's regrettable. Either way, it's not a good sign. Sulak, who hasn't gotten a paycheck or any signing bonus yet because he had not yet signed, could land somewhere else, but he would basically be an undrafted free agent there who faces long odds to make a roster.

KCCS was part of the team that provided CEI for this 3-mile construction project consisting of SR 60/Memorial Highway from I-275 to the Courtney Campbell Parkway interchange, in the vicinity of Tampa International Airport.
The project also extends west 1 mile onto the Courtney Campbell Parkway (SR 60) and north to the Veterans Expressway (Toll 589). This entire project is known as the Tampa Airport Interchanges project or Links.
The Spruce Street/SR 60 interchange was improved to a four-level interchange, and the Courtney Campbell/SR 60 interchange was improved to a three-level directional interchange. This configuration eliminates SR 60 traffic signals within the Courtney Campbell interchange and on the causeway at the Hyatt hotel entrance (Bayport Drive). It also provides a two-lane frontage road system for access to the Hyatt property. The new interchange configuration features the separation of local and express traffic with collector/distributor roads and express lanes. This system is also expected to help reduce congestion on the interstate ramps within the area and improve access to Tampa International Airport.

NGO: Israel policy in Hebron designed to 'transfer' Palestinians
On: 25 september 2019 By: KhamakarPress
Israeli soldiers stand guard in Hebron, West Bank on 16 September 2017
A damning new report by Israeli human rights group B'Tselem has charged Israeli occupation authorities with policies designed to "forcibly transfer" Palestinians in Hebron.
The report, "Playing the Security Card", details what it describes as "a policy of segregation" designed to "allow a handful of Jewish residents to live as though they had not settled in the middle of a bustling Palestinian city, in the heart of an occupied territory".
"This policy completely ignores the needs of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians and sentences them to an unbearable reality, with the hope that they will leave their homes ostensibly of their own free will," B'Tselem stated.
Since the late 1990s, Hebron was been divided in two. In so-called Area H1, the Palestinian Authority (PA) exercises the same autonomy as it does in other West Bank cities.
READ: Israel PM allows settlers to take over a Palestinian house in Hebron
In Area H2, some 700 Israeli settlers live in an area home to around 7,000 Palestinians. In recent years, according to B'Tselem, "both official and unofficial plans have been advanced to expand the settlement and develop tourism in the historic centre of Hebron".
The human rights group has warned that "if these plans come to fruition, the settler population in Hebron stands to double over the next few years."
B'Tselem describes a reality in Hebron whereby Israel maintains "a cruel system of travel restrictions which creates a contiguous strip of land isolated from the rest of the city that is partially or fully off limits to Palestinians, whether traveling on foot or by car."
READ: Netanyahu's Hebron visit speaks of impunity for state and settler violence
This "separation regime" imposed by occupation authorities "goes hand in hand with routine acts of violence" by Israeli forces and settlers by security forces and settlers against Palestinian residents.
Overall, B'Tselem concludes,
these living conditions have produced the outcome Israel desired: Thousands of Palestinians have left the city centre, and it has become a ghost town where only Palestinians who do not have the option to leave remain.
"The forcible transfer of thousands of Palestinian residents and the closure of hundreds of businesses in this manner violate the prohibition on forcible transfer enshrined in international law, which constitutes a war crime," the human rights group affirmed.
B'Tselem added that while "the settlement in Hebron is exceptional in that it was injected into the heart of a major Palestinian city", Israel's policy there "is essentially identical to that employed in the rest of the West Bank: treating the area as primarily intended to serve Israeli needs and regularly ignoring the interests of Palestinians while giving settlers preferential treatment."
"This regime instated by Israel is reminiscent of the systemic aspects of South Africa's Apartheid regime," B'Tselem said, "which included restricting access to land, limiting movement and denying political rights."

Israel forces injure Palestinian brothers during home demolition
2 Palestinian brothers were injured by Israeli forces during the demolition of their family's apartment which was under-construction in occupied East Jerusalem
Two Palestinian brothers were injured by Israeli forces yesterday during the demolition of their family's apartment which was under-construction in occupied East Jerusalem.
According to Haaretz, Israeli occupation forces yesterday arrived to carry out the demolition of the Khalil family's apartment, which had been built without an almost impossible to obtain permit from the Jerusalem municipality.
A video of the demolition raid shows Israeli border policemen assaulting two brothers, Issa and Kusai Khalil, who both needed medical treatment.
READ: Israel arrested 450 Palestinians, including 69 children, in August
According to the paper, "police detained the brothers and later released them on condition they do not enter Jerusalem during the next two days".
Mohammed Khalil, the owner of the house, told Haaretz "he had built the apartment as a second story above his home for his son Issa, who had married recently. Khalil said there was no way to get a permit to build the home legally."
"They gave me a demolition order for the house and told me to demolish only the roof, which I did yesterday on my own," he said. "Today they came and said that wasn't enough; we had to demolish the entire house."
They brought all these soldiers and started to push us; you can't even look up, whoever looks at them gets yelled at.
"I barely managed to build this house from everything I worked for all my life. Now everything is gone," Mohammed added.
READ: 550 Palestinians to be homeless after Israel demolishes entire Jerusalem neighbourhood
Researcher Aviv Tatarsky, from the Ir Amim non-profit, told Haaretz: "The Jerusalem municipality is not advancing proper master plans for the city's Palestinian neighbourhoods."
"Since the beginning of the year the municipality has progressed planning permissions for 12,000 housing units in the Israeli neighbourhoods, and 1,500 units in the Palestinian neighbourhoods."
"Because of this discrimination residents of East Jerusalem are forced to build without permits."
Police Close Silwan Shop for Hiring Palestinian Help
25 SEP 5:55 PM
Israeli police, today, ordered a Palestinian butchery located in East Jerusalem to shut down for 15 days, for hiring Palestinian help, according to the shop owner Fadi Zahdeh.
He told WAFA that police raided his shop in Silwan, took him to their station where he was questioned about hiring a Palestinian resident of the West Bank who did not have a permit to be in Jerusalem.
He said police told him that his shop will be closed for 15 days, as a punishment for hiring the Palestinian and that he will be arrested if he opens it during this period.

Asra Media Office stated that 140 Palestinian detainees being held in Israeli jails continue in their open-ended hunger strike, today.
The office pointed out, on Monday morning, that the detainees are continuing their strike in opposition to the installation of the cancer-causing jamming devices in their cells for the 14th day in a row.
It said that the prisoners took escalating steps as the IPS keeps its position of rejection to meet with their demands, which include removing the devices, installing public phones inside prisons, as well as ending the punitive measures imposed against the hunger-striking detainees since last Tuesday.
The office added that Palestinian detainees, specifically those held in Raymond prison, launched a mass open-ended hunger strike on September 9, after Israeli Prison Service (IPS) had denied the agreement made with the detainees last April, which included these demands.
The office further noted, according to Al Ray,, that after denying the agreement, the detainees held several negotiating sessions with IPS, to meet their demands, but they were all of no avail.

ISRAELI FORMER SHABAK DIRECTOR STORM AL AQSA MOSQUE
Avi Dichter, former Shabak director and current Chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee breaking into Al Aqsa mosque
Occupied Jerusalem (QNN)- Israeli former Shabak director, Avi Dichter, stormed Wednesday the courtyards of Al Aqsa mosque.
Dichter (66 years old) is also former Minister of Internal Security and current Chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee as well and former knesset member.
Dichter broke into the holy mosque accompanied by Israeli policemen and illegal settlers.
Raids into the holy mosque by Israeli officials have recently increased, which deemed as a serious escalation and provocation of Muslims' feelings.
In 2000, Israeli PM at the time Ariel Sharon broke into the holy mosque, sparking the second Intifada, which had continued for over 4 years.

'ISRAEL' ARRESTS PALESTINIAN MINISTER AND 8 OTHERS
Occupied West Bank (QNN)- Israeli occupation forces arrested last night eight Palestinians in addition to the Palestinian Minister of Jerusalem's Affairs, Fadi Hadmi, after breaking into his house in occupied Jerusalem.
Israeli forces carried out raid campaign throughout occupied West Bank, arresting several locals as well.
Large numbers of Israeli soldiers broke into Hadmi's house in occupied Jerusalem and arrested him after searching and vandalizing his house.
Israeli forces also broke into the house of Jerusalem's Governor, Adnan Gheith, in Silwan in occupied Jerusalem but he wasn't at the house at the time.
In occupied West Bank, local sources reported that Israeli forces stormed Nablus and targeted locals' houses with stun grenades.
NEW DEMOLITION MASSACRE: ISRAELI BULLDOZERS DEMOLISH THREE WEST BANK BUILDINGS
Occupied Palestine (QNN)- Israeli forces started this morning demolition of buildings owned by native Palestinians in occupied Hebron and Shafa Amr in addition to a solidarity tent in eastern occupied Jerusalem.
In occupied Hebron, Israeli bulldozers demolished two buildings near the Fawwar refugee camp in southern Hebron.
In Shafa Amr, large numbers of Israeli soldiers stormed a house and demolished it only one day after demolition of another house in the city.
In occupied Jerusalem, Israeli forces rushed to demolish a solidarity ten in Sawahreh in eastern Jerusalem. The tent was set to protest construction of new settlement outpost in eastern Jerusalem.
Local sources stated that four Israeli bulldozers and three excavator drills headed to Qararah in Khan Younes in southern Gaza strip and started razing agricultural lands.
Arab states target Hamas members and fund-raising networks
He admitted, though, that there has been no new development in the issue of the Palestinians and Hamas members detained in Saudi Arabia
Member of Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas's Political Bureau, Musa abu-Marzouq, has accused Arab states of targeting the movement's members, supporters and fund-raising networks.
"Doing so they are serving American and Israeli agendas," explained Abu- Marzouq. He stressed that Hamas does not interfere in the internal affairs of any of these countries.
It is believed that he was referring specifically to Saudi Arabia and the UAE, both of which appear to have turned against the Palestinian movement in their rush to normalise relations with Israel.
When asked about Hamas efforts to release its members detained in the Arab world, Abu- Marzouq pointed out that "diplomatic action and media silence" is the preferred option. "We are trying to reach a quiet solution for the crisis inflicted upon our members."
He admitted, though, that there has been no new development in the issue of the Palestinians and Hamas members detained in Saudi Arabia.
Efforts to relocate Palestinian refugees who live in Lebanon are being made in order to "push" them out of the host country, added the senior Hamas official, and remove the refugee issue from the international agenda, as happened in Kuwait, Syria, and Iraq.
He noted that conditions in the Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon are very bad.
There are so-called emigration offices in the refugee camps in Lebanon, he confirmed. It is still unknown which countries are ready to open their doors to Palestinian refugees.
Among the issues which made life difficult for the Palestinian refugees, he said, is the relatively weak position of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).
The US has been UNRWA's biggest single donor but cut all funding last year. Israel has been lobbying to close down the Agency, a move which would basically cancel the refugee status of millions of Palestinians.
According to Abu- Marzouq, getting rid of the Palestinian refugee issue is part of the US deal of the century.
He insisted, though, that the refugees and their plight — and their legitimate right to return to their land — are "part and parcel" of the principles of the Palestinian cause.

Erdogan Deplores Israel's Expansion Over Palestinian Land
Turkish president Recep Erdogan on Tuesday lashed out at the Israeli occupation state for gobbling the Palestinian land and persisting in its expansion activity.
Addressing the UN General Assembly in New York, Erdogan held an image of the time-lapsed map of occupied Palestine, which clearly showed how the Israel had gobbled Palestinian territories over the decades.
"Where was Israel in 1947 and where is it now?" he said as he displayed the map in which Palestinian land marked in green color could be seen taken over by Israel.
"Israel is still expanding and Palestine is still shrinking," he said.
"Palestinian territories under Israeli occupation have become one of the places on earth where "injustice prevails the most," Erdogan added.
"If the images of an innocent Palestinian woman who was murdered heinously by Israeli security forces on the street just a few days ago cannot awake the consciences, then we are at a point where the words fail," he said.
Turkey has "a clear stance" on the issue, Erdogan said. "The immediate establishment of an independent and homogeneous Palestinian state on the basis of the 1967 borders with east Jerusalem as its capital is the solution," he stressed, as he urged the international community and UN to provide "concrete support for the Palestinian people instead of mere promises
He also questioned the role and mission of UN, saying it failed to implement its own resolutions against Israel.
The Turkish president slammed the international community for standing idly by as Israel decided to seize the Golan Heights and the West Bank and kill any chance to establish the Palestinian state..
"How can the Golan Heights and the West Bank settlements be seized, just like the other occupied Palestinian territories, before the eyes of the world if they are not within the borders of this state," he asked rhetorically.
"Is the aim of the initiative presented as the 'Deal of the Century,' to eliminate the presence of the state and people of Palestine?," he said in reference to US president Donald Trump's plan to end the Palestine-Israel conflict.

Whether your children are toddling about beneath your feet or are asking to borrow the family car, organizational skills are a must. We've thereby utilized a monthly family meeting since the kids were wee ones to plan holidays, discuss our goals, and essentially take our pulse or discuss any issues or concerns.
Now that my children are a bit older and they are taking on leadership positions of their own, I find myself sitting back and smiling – admiring how the professional skills we've implemented into our family life now help them in their academic and social circles.
For an overview of scout activities, school performances, orthodontic appointments, etc., a shared calendar is critical for us as a family. Using the color coding and invite features, we can improvise when unforeseen changes (sick teachers, additional music lesson, or a Scout Board of Review) are needed. However, we are not always on the same page despite having electronic devices.
My husband and I have noticed a gap with how to make the upcoming appointments and 'to do's' more tangible for our children. Like us, the kids are more prepared and less stressed when they know what to expect each day. No one likes getting woken for a surprise dental appointment or getting pulled away from a coding issue on their Minecraft server for a haircut. Now that they are older and are beginning to schedule appointments of their own (art lessons, podcast interviews, etc.), we need to be aware of their plans as well.
We tackled this nuance with a family meeting on a weekly basis – or Weekly Overview Review. This meeting takes place next to a whiteboard in the dining room (essentially my VIPKID classroom each morning), and lasts about 15 minutes – usually on Sunday after breakfast, or in the evening if the morning doesn't work out.
Our shared Apple calendar is color coded and thus using colored markers is a natural extension of our digital schedule system. It helps everyone to visualize the week and understand it better.
The focus is on the coming week, and the board therefore is divided into columns from Monday to Sunday. Everyone enters the most important dates with his or her color and introduces them to the others, e.g. "9-11 volunteer at marine life center", "6:30 Board Mtg at the hospital", "piano lessons", "debate club". We are thereafter fully engaged and aware of the activities planned through the week.
Once our obligations are recorded on the white board we take time to discuss the details of the week. We also encourage the kids to take more ownership in their learning – to strive for academic and career goals.
Additionally, we all share in the management of the house – doing our part to assure the chores are completed and the burden doesn't fall on one person's shoulders. Everyone has a role and helps to contribute to the success of the others.
• What are you doing this week?
• What do you need from us (financial assistance, transportation, etc.)? Are there any permission slips that we have to sign?
• Is there anything from last week that isn't finished yet?
• Did you schedule time for learning? What creative project(s) are underway? Do you need help studying or with a project?
• Who will take over which household chore in the coming week?
• What meals would you like this week?
Input in these areas really helps reduce my stress during the week. I'm able to shop for groceries just once (generally) and have a clear plan for the week. No more evenings with me scrambling at the last minute trying to figure out what to cook with what happens to be in the pantry. This also helps assure the menu is more diverse and appealing to everyone.
As the kids have become more independent, it has also enabled me to go back to work on a part time basis. At first, I was substitute teaching and thus I would be away from home for the full day. This created difficulty in regards to scheduling and transportation. With VIPKID, I rarely substitute anymore but I do volunteer regularly. These obligations require us to sometimes be a little creative or seek out outside support (Grandpa, for example).
• Do either of us have to adjust our weekly plans because an important appointment for the children has been added?
• Do we have to organize outside support on any day?
You may think a family meeting like this is too formal. Our experience, however, is that the kids develop a much better understanding of each other's plans, find their way much better with their own daily lives, and thereby become more independent and self-reliant.
As the academic year comes to a close, you may be thinking of nothing more than your summer bucket list. Many students however, like my daughter, have their eyes set on pursuing opportunities that can better prepare them for their career choice or expand their extracurricular experiences.
This past summer my daughter attended a week-long engineering camp at the university. This opportunity not only provided her with insight into her field of interest but also connected her to key personnel in the department. She emerged with a greater understanding of the skills she will need to succeed in her field. She also collaborated with another teen on an engineering project and gave a presentation at the conclusion of the course.
Summer camps like the one I described and short courses in art or sailing provide youth with hours that can be used for elective credits. Unlike required courses, electives are classes the student chooses based on her interests. It is the perfect way to customize a child's education.
While most high schools offer electives that cover a wide variety of topics, homeschoolers have the opportunity to craft a transcript that is unique and the most reflective of a student's interests and future career goals.
This past year for example, my daughter has been actively involved in the Debate Club at the local community college. While it is an informal group (they haven't competed against other schools), they are engaged in forensic experiences. The hours she attends and the research she invests in preparing her speeches can be applied to her transcript.
It would be impossible for any single school – public or private – to offer every elective on this list; there are simply too many. Schools are forced to choose which electives to offer based on a number of factors including location, student population, resources available, teacher expertise, and student interest. Homeschools, on the other hand, are not restricted by these factors.
Translating the hours a child has invested in a particular area can be done with ease. Simply keep an activity log as documentation of the hours invested. Click on the image below to download a FREE copy for yourself.
In Oregon, 1 high school trimester is equal to 1 high school credit hour. This translates to approximately 55 hours of seat time/instruction. Thus, the 61 hours my daughter volunteered at the art museum last summer earned her 1 trimester credit.
These hours can be accumulated by watching instructional videos, TED talks, attending local seminars, reading informative texts, taking a specialized course (either in person or online), or any myriad of things related to the field of interest.
Use the course descriptions provided by local schools as a guide as you write your own. Keep in mind that electives can have different names depending on the school offering them, even if they cover essentially the same topic (for example, a culinary arts class could also be called cooking, foods, or something similar).
On a related note, forensics has long meant the art of speechmaking and oral presentation. Debate clubs, on the other hand, involve students in researching a pre-selected topic and then trying to convince people of their position. It's a cousin of forensics but not the same thing.
To add to the confusion, Forensics Clubs and courses in Forensic Science are popping up in many modern schools, inspired by popular television shows. Using an optional course description can help to alleviate any confusion.


"My son rode his bike home from soccer practice and accidentally left the garage door open when he came inside. Two girls walking past saw our open garage and started to scope it out. They pretended to kick the ball up the driveway but then ran into the garage and took two bikes. The girl was clearly not used to disk brakes so when she tried to brake with the front brakes it immediately flipped her over."
