Question #1:
What is your opinion on this?Justice Department Seeks Ebonics Experts?
Click HereThe Department of Justice is seeking to hire linguists fluent in Ebonics to help monitor, translate, and transcribe the secretly recorded conversations of subjects of narcotics investigations, according to federal records.
A maximum of nine Ebonics experts will work with the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Atlanta field division, where the linguists, after obtaining a “DEA Sensitive” security clearance, will help investigators decipher the results of “telephonic monitoring of court ordered nonconsensual intercepts, consensual listening devices, and other media”
The DEA’s need for full-time linguists specializing in Ebonics is detailed in bid documents related to the agency’s mid-May issuance of a request for proposal (RFP) covering the provision of as many as 2100 linguists for the drug agency’s various field offices. Answers to the proposal were due from contractors on July 29.
In contract documents, which are excerpted here, Ebonics is listed among 114 languages for which prospective contractors must be able to provide linguists. The 114 languages are divided between “common languages” and “exotic languages.” Ebonics is listed as a “common language” spoken solely in the United States.
Ebonics has widely been described as a nonstandard variant of English spoken largely by African Americans. John R. Rickford, a Stanford University professor of linguistics, has described it as “Black English” and noted that “Ebonics pronunciation includes features like the omission of the final consonant in words like ‘past’ (pas’ ) and ‘hand’ (han’), the pronunciation of the th in ‘bath’ as t (bat) or f (baf), and the pronunciation of the vowel in words like ‘my’ and ‘ride’ as a long ah (mah, rahd).”
In addition to the nine Ebonics experts, the DEA’s Atlanta office also requires linguists for eight other languages, including Spanish (144 linguists needed); Vietnamese (12); Korean (9); Farsi (9); and Jamaican patois (4). The Atlanta field division, one of the DEA’s busiest, is the only office seeking linguists well-versed in Ebonics. Overall, the “majority of DEA’s language requirements will be for Spanish originating in Central and South America and the Caribbean,” according to one contract document.

Question #11:
play the baby name game? :)?
six kids :D1.) boy, first and middle, one must start with C and end with N (no Camerons or Carsons).
2.) girl, first and middle, BOTH names must have a double letter in them, like two A's in a row, or two R's in a row. do NOT use N or L (that means no Hallies or Annas, etc).
3.) boy, first and two middle names, try to fit in as many E's as you can (they don't necessarily have to all START with E though).
4.) girl, first and middle, make one of them a variation on Rose (there are SO many variations, so don't use the normal ones like Rosalie, Roseanna, or Rosa, etc-- be creative!).
5.) boy, first and middle name, make one a name you consider super masculine, and make the other one a name you consider not so masculine.
6.) girl, first and two middles, do an ABC set: like make each name start with ABC, or DEF, or mix it up and do BCD: it doesn't matter, but they have to stay in order (meaning you can't do BAF, or that's no pattern at all haha).
here are my picks, for examples if you need some clarification on the directions:
1.) Callan Bradley
2.) Raylee Moon
3.) Emersen Renwey Eliezer (eight E's! can anyone do better?? without it sounding gross and ridiculous of course ;D)
4.) Rosaleek Antonella
5.) Gabriel Bronson (Bronson- very masculine. Gabriel- not so masculine.)
6.) VWX: Venus Wynter Xyla
have fun, and star if you liked it :)
thanks guys!

Do you think i am a bad friend?
my best friend is constantly asking me to sleepover at her house...problem is that i don't want to for multiple reasons. 1st reason is that whenever i go to her house her 2 little siblings wants to play with me and i get really tired cause i have some health problems. we have discuss this but she thinks that i am just telling that i have health problems so i can have all the attention to myself a thing that i totally don't want to. 2nd reason is that i am a little picky when it comes to the food. i cant stand eating meat or eggs cause it smells really bad to me and i feel like i am gonna faint when i do. however her mother always makes this things when i go over and 1 time that i told her i wasn't hungry she fed me with force!3rd reason is that my bff is very jealous and i dont know the reason! she always makes up stories that she got hurt or smth when smth happens to me. for example recently i had some problems with the flow of my blood and when i told her she was like this is nothing compares to what happen to me and she told me that she fell from the stairs and she bruised her leg badly...i saw her one day after her accident and she had nothing on her legs. 4th reason is that now all we talk about is justin bieber dont get me wrong i dont have anything against him, i believe that before you judje ppl you have to meet them first, but all that we talk about is him...and she always compares him with the famous people i like. 5th reason is that she always sleeps with her dogs and i dont really like it having someone sucking my face(ewww) when i sleep. 6th reason is that last wednesday her mother discovered that she had cooties and i dont want to get some.7th reason is that i never get to talk...it is always about her...when we meet up with someone else she always talks and she doesnt let me talk.for instance the previous week i had my bday party and i end up sitting alone in the corner of the teen club cause she wouldnt let me talk! she has already invited me over 6 times since the schools closed and i made up excuses but i cant really see myself getting out of this one...am i a baf friend because i think this way?and i mean come on its summer i want to spend some time with myself...i was with her all the school year and the last summer and the previous school year. do you have any good excuses? (not the usuals like i cant i am invited to a bday party or i had a fight with my parents and i cant come)Question #15:

ARMY supply HELP! My plates were stolen. Do I have to pay for them?
Ok so here is my situation. I just arrived in Afghanistan for my first deployment. We went from our duty station to Manas to BAF to our FOB. The whole trip took about 10 days.When we were leaving Manas, our chalk leader told us to line up our IOTV vests along the conexes and go load duffel bags. When we came back, my IOTV was gone. We found it on the other side of the conex with the front and back plates missing. With our IOTV, we were issued 2 GREEN E-SAPI side plates and 2 GREEN E-SAPI front/back plates. My plates were replaced with the regular training purpose BLACK SAPI plates. So my side plates(the green ones) weren't stolen, but the front and back were.
I immediately told my chalk leader and he said "ok we'll get you some new plates in BAF". We got to BAF the next day and I reminded him about the plates and he said the same thing. Almost a week went by and we were getting ready to go to our FOB the next day. I had been asking him multiple times EVERY one of those days to get me my plates to the point where his exact words were "if you ask me one more time I'm gonna smoke the hell out of you. I told you I'd get you your plates and I will."
Then we got to our FOB and my chalk leader went to another FOB. I told my NCO what had happened and now he's angry at me for not being persistent enough. He's also saying that I'll have to pay for the plates($1200).
But the plates were stolen and I have people who can vouch for me on that. Do I really have to pay for them? I asked some supply soldiers and they all said if they were stolen, then no, but my NCO is saying yes. He's known for using scare tactics but it still leaves me wondering. So what's gonna happen?
