Teen birthrate hits all-time low, led by 50 percent decline among Hispanics and blacks
>The birthrate among American teenagers, at crisis levels in the 1990s, has fallen to an all-time low, according to an analysis released Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
>The decline of the past decade has occurred in all regions in the country and among all races. But the most radical changes have been among Hispanic and black teens, whose birthrates have dropped nearly 50 percent since 2006.

>Juvenile pranksters from 4chan have made violent threats against three different school districts in Texas, Minnesota, and Virginia using online reporting tools intended for people to anonymously report bad behavior.
>These series of threats, which are loosely nicknamed “Operation Ricardo,” began on the evening of April 24 with First Colonial High School in Virginia Beach.
>Users from 4chan’s /b/ imageboard, a dumping ground for the Internet’s most obscene content, accessed a link to First Colonial’s Google Form that was supposed to be for parents and students to anonymously “report anything suspicious, dangerous, or illegal.”
>Instead of using the Google Form for good, one student from First Colonial goaded 4chan users to “go full trolling with it.” The name Ricardo has been used in many of the submissions as the fictional shooter.
...
>More than 60 different threats and jokes were submitted using the First Colonial Google Form.
>I reached out to First Colonial on May 26 after the school removed the link to the form. Vice Principal David Judge was aware of the threats but declined to comment further until he discussed the matter with the school’s media official. The school was open Tuesday with an added police presence, reported ABC’s 13newsnow.
>Anonymous 4chan pranksters expanded their scope of the prank to the Spring Branch Independent School District in Texas and Chicago Lakes School District in Minnesota Tuesday.
>The threats against each district were very similar. The following is a screengrab of a threat intended for May 2 using Spring Branch’s website.
>Pranks such as these have been a cornerstone of 4chan since it launched on Oct. 1, 2003.
>In October 2015, the website was implicated in the mass shooting at Oregon’s Umpqua Community College after a thread on the site’s imageboard /r9k/ foreshadowed the incident, Salon reported.
>Other notable pranks perpetrated by anonymous 4chan users are the bikini bridge hoax, free bleeding, and “iPhone Wave,” which tried to convince people to charge their phones in a microwave.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/star-trek-lawsuit-debate-klingon-888419
>A federal judge gets an earful of Klingon proverbs from a language society intent on making sure that Paramount Pictures can't claim ownership.
>When Paramount and CBS ended last year with a lawsuit over a crowdfunded Star Trek fan film titled Axanar, the two studios probably had no idea that they were about to get mired in an esoteric legal debate about the protectability of the Klingon language. But that's exactly what's happened, and with the language of digital coding hanging in the background, a California federal judge's forthcoming decision could hold significance — so large, in fact, that this otherwise run-of-the-mill copyright action has now drawn an amicus brief from a language society that quotes a Klingon proverb translated as "we succeed together in a greater whole."
>To review, after the Star Trek rights holders filed their complaint, the defendant production company demanded particulars of the franchise's copyrighted elements. In response, Paramount and CBS listed a lot, but what drew most attention was claimed entitlement to the Klingon language. The defendant then reached back to a 19th century Supreme Court opinion for the proposition that Klingon is not copyrightable as a useful system.
>On April 11, that drew an entertaining response from the flummoxed plaintiffs.
...
>"This argument is absurd since a language is only useful if it can be used to communicate with people, and there are no Klingons with whom to communicate," stated a plaintiffs' brief authored by David Grossman at Loeb & Loeb. "The Klingon language is wholly fictitious, original and copyrightable, and Defendants' incorporation of that language in their works will be part of the Court's eventual substantial similarity analysis. Defendants' use of the Klingon language in their works is simply further evidence of their infringement of Plaintiffs' characters, since speaking this fictitious language is an aspect of their characters."
>Before U.S. District Judge R. Gary Klausner gets a chance to rule on a motion to dismiss, he's now being asked permission to review a friend-of-the-court brief from the Language Creation Society.
>The brief, authored by Marc Randazza, begins with background that the Klingon language was invented in 1984 by Marc Okrand for Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.
>"Before that, when actors played Klingons in Star Trek television programs or movies, they simply uttered guttural sounds or spoke in English (Federation Standard)," writes Randazza. "Given that Paramount Pictures commissioned the creation of some of the language, it is understandable that Paramount might feel some sense of ownership over the creation. But, feeling ownership and having ownership are not the same thing. The language has taken on a life of its own. Thousands of people began studying it, building upon it, and using it to communicate among themselves."
>Now, with 250,000 copies of a Klingon dictionary said to have been sold, Klingon language certification programs being offered, the Microsoft search engine Bing presenting English-to-Klingon translations, one Swedish couple performing their marriage vows in Klingon, foreign governments providing official statements in Klingon and so on, the Language Creation Society is holding up Klingon as having freed the "bounds of its textual chains."
>Ultimately, the amicus brief comes back to the theory that Klingon is not copyrightable.
>"What is a language other than a procedure, process, or system for communication?" asks the society. "What is a language's vocabulary but a collection of words? The vocabulary and grammar rules of a language provide instructions for a speaker to articulate thoughts and ideas. One cannot disregard grammatical rules and still be intelligible, and creating one's own vocabulary only worked well for the Bard. Vocabulary and grammar are no more protectable than the bookkeeping system in Baker v. Selden, 101 U.S. 99, 101 (1879)."
>According to the amicus brief — which also nods to the framers of the U.S. Constitution and to Sesame Street theme-song lyrics — no court has ever addressed the issue of whether a constructed spoken language is entitled to copyright protection. Whether or not the Star Trek fan-film case provides that very opportunity is now up to he judge. He could sidestep the legal geekery by agreeing with Paramount that defendants and those interested are making too much of this, that use of Klingon is merely evidence of some larger infringement. Or he could give Klingon speakers everywhere "qapla"!

Oh, say! can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming;
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's re d glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there:
Oh, say! does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In fully glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh, long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vuntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution!
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Oh, thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Bless with victory and peace, may the heav'rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust":
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Are some people just natural-born killers? Modern research raises some disturbing questions.

"That family’s case launched studies that didn’t bear fruit until the early 1990s, when researchers found a specific gene mutation on all of the X chromosomes of all the violent men. Some women in the family had the mutation, too, but since women have two X chromosomes, it appeared that the other one functioned normally and made up for the defect.
In other words, the men appeared to be genetically predisposed to violence.

Paul Nungesser won’t quit.
The Columbia graduate is suing his alma mater again — over the fact the school continued to permit “Mattress Girl” Emma Sulkowicz to lug around her mattress despite him being cleared of charges that he raped her.
Nungesser’s first lawsuit for “gender-based harassment” was dismissed earlier this year. The judge, however, had left open the possibility of a future attempt.
This bid will say that “Columbia violated Title IX” since “the school discriminated against him by permitting Sulkowicz to protest and by taking other actions that created a ‘hostile environment.'”

Boston firefighter Steve Perry was already in a heightened state of anxiety as Engine 20 pulled out of the station and headed for 11 Capen Place — his mother’s home, where he grew up.
Then, the dispatcher reported that someone had jumped from a second-story window.
“My heart was racing, racing, racing — we couldn’t get there fast enough,” Perry said yesterday in the wake of the 11:30 a.m. two-alarm blaze.
Perry, 43, a 17-year BFD veteran, told his captain: “That’s my mom’s house. We’ve got to get there. I heard that someone jumped from the second floor, it had to be her. She’s retired — it’s the worst-case call you ever want to come to.”
Perry was ecstatic when he arrived and found his 61-year-old mother sitting on a chair on the sidewalk surrounded by neighbors, crying but very much alive. He told his mom, Regina Robinson, “I’m here. It’s going to be OK, it’s going to be OK.”
BFD spokesman Steve MacDonald said an electrical short-circuit in a first-floor bedroom triggered the fire, which was knocked down in 15 minutes.
Robinson was caught by contractor Edwin Julia, who had raced to the scene from across the street. She was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, MacDonald said.
“I’m not looking for no praise — I’m just glad I was at the right place at the right time,” said Julia, 36 of Lowell, who coaxed Robinson into first jumping a few feet from a smoky window onto an awning and then about 10 feet further into his arms, where he helped break her fall onto a wooden deck.
http://www.bostonherald.com/news/local_coverage/2016/05/firefighter_mom_thankful_heroic_neighbor_there
“I told her to jump and I’ll catch you. I told her, ‘Come on, you gotta be brave.’ She hesitated a little bit. ... She jumped and I broke her fall. She landed on her side,” Julia said.
Julia said after breaking Robinson’s fall, he walked her to safety on the sidewalk and sat her down. Robinson was shaken up.
“I told her, ‘God is good. You’re alive, that’s all that matters. The house is replaceable.’ She was very grateful. God bless her,” Julia said.
Perry said late yesterday afternoon his mom was out of the hospital with “no broken bones, only some bumps and bruises and a big headache.”
He said he wants to meet with Julia and give him a big hug.
“I want to tell him thank you very much for being there for my mom,” Perry said. “In my eyes, he’s a hero.”
Firefighter Gary Walsh could hear the woman screaming for help but he couldn’t see her.
Then he felt her arm reaching out through the thick, dark smoke that filled the burning apartment building early Tuesday morning. He pulled her close and realized she was holding a baby.
He took off the mask connected to his air tank, held it close to their faces and led the way back outside.
“I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t see. My goal was just to get them out of the building as fast as possible,” Walsh said Wednesday. “Thank God it worked out the way it did. Call it luck, or I don’t care what you call it. It worked out that she’s alive and the baby’s alive.”
The two-alarm blaze broke out just after 5 a.m. Tuesday at the building in the Queen Anne’s Gate complex off of Pleasant Street. Firefighters from Quincy, Braintree and Hingham also responded. All 26 units were left uninhabitable and three were badly burned.
The woman and baby and one other resident were taken to South Shore Hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation. A firefighter also suffered a back injury and is recovering.
Fire Chief Keith Stark said Walsh’s actions saved the woman and baby.
“It was outstanding,” Stark said. “It was courageous. He was doing his job.”
Walsh said the building was on fire when his crew arrived on Ladder 2. Tenants who were already outside said others may have been trapped inside.
Walsh said he and firefighters Walter Langley and Gabe Araujo first made sure no one was in the ground-floor apartments when they heard the woman scream for help. They couldn’t tell whether she was on the second or third floor.
“I just had a feeling she was up on the third floor,” he said. “The fact that she was even conscious at the time I found her is pretty surprising, to tell you the truth.”
He found her at the doorway leading from the stairwell to the third-floor hallway.
After the woman and baby were outside, Walsh rejoined the other two firefighters and made sure no one else was still inside.
Walsh, 36, has been with the fire department for almost 10 years.
The fire is still under investigation, but Lt. Justin Myers said it started outside, crept up the building and into the attic before spreading to a vacant third-floor apartment while most residents were asleep. He said a tossed cigarette butt may have sparked the fire.
Myers said the department is looking into a report from one tenant that the building’s fire alarm system never went off, but he said it appears that the alarm system was working. He said other residents said they did hear an alarm and that the department received an alert from the alarm company moments after a resident called 911.
