And changes everything...
To date, the sexual sins of candidates for President have focused on the candidates themselves.
Now that we've learned about Gingrich's bold "ask" for an "open marriage" to accommodate his acknowledged affair with Callista Gingrich, for the first time in history, the future First Lady's sexual sins are front and center for evangelicals and perhaps a significant portion of conservative voters.
That's the news this morning from the evangelical right as Focus on the Family's James Dobson declares his preference for Santorum because, among a host of other reasons, Karen Santorum "would make a fabulous first lady role model."
Here's the zinger.
Dobson went on to compare Karen with Callista, noting that "Newt Gingrich's wife . . . was a mistress for eight years."
Will The Right Forgive a Woman as They Forgive Their Men?
The evangelical right has been pretty forgiving of men's sexual misdeeds with women, while demonizing the allegedly far greater sexual sins of our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters.
We're now about to see what the driving issues really are within the evangelical community and the far right when it comes to comparative sexual "sin."
Feminists have all along contended that one of the overlooked but driving issues on the "right" in reaction to the reproductive freedom and justice movement is women's sexual autonomy.
As one author has argued,
The Christian Right was born as a reaction to changes in women's social roles, growing sexual liberty, and increased sexual knowledge in the early 20th century. Even today, the Christian Right can be defined as a reaction to women's behavior and sexual liberties.
Where others see sexual liberty, the Christian Right sees sexual license. This is a problem for [certain segments of the Christian religious community for] two reasons.
First, sexual license is contrary to God's will. Second, controlling sexuality is key to maintaining social order. When sexuality is improperly controlled, anarchy and chaos result. Women ignoring their god-given social roles are part of uncontrolled sexuality because women are defined as the keepers of moral virtue in the home and sexual virtue generally.
Abortion is not just [seen as] murder . . . [It, along with contraception] also disconnects sexual activity from procreation. This is [seen as being] contrary to God's will and allows for sexual activity to proceed unchecked. Sex without consequences is [deemed to be] wrong because consequences help keep sex from leading to anarchy.
At least one GOP candidate – Rick Santorum – has expressly connected his opposition to birth control to sexuality by arguing on the campaign trail that contraception is "a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be."
How many children have you adopted? How many children do you support, and I don't mean your own. Do you run programs for children? Or are you just running your fingers along the keyboard? Save us the slogans and the pictures, this is about life. Just as soon as all children are a part of a family I will change my position and oppose abortion rights just like you. In the meantime, I'd like to see vasectomy dictated to all men who engage in unprotected sex if they don't intend to participate in the lives of the results of their stupidity.
Stupidity??? mama, did anyone ever tell you — It isn't the man who ovulates?
Did anyone ever tell you the woman carries the child? So the bottom line, regardless of what is right or fair, is that she herself has to take responsibility for contraception?
It is not mathematically possible for all those statistics to be true if fertility nominally occurs from age 15 to 45. The percent of women 40-55 who have had abortions and the percent of women who have had an abortion by age 40 cannot be consistent with the 1973-2008 timeline.
Also, almost all of the '73 to '03 increase in percent of women who have had abortions was due to an increase in the number of a woman's fertile years in which abortions were available post Roe v Wade (a woman who was 44 in 1973 had one year of eligibility, but a woman who was 35 had ten years). The increase is not because of an increase in the percentage of pregnancies that were terminated.
Technically a "zygote" is only the first five weeks of pregnancy and then the correct term is embryo. Like it or not, during the zygote stage a heart, fingerprints, the brain, and other things that define a life happen. Science is science and it has proven time and again that life begins at conception, whether people want to believe it or not.
I work with many women and men who have chose abortion, only to look back with heartache and regret. As they share their stories one theme is consistent, they wish they had known all the facts before the abortion.
Abortion may seem like a quick fix to a problem, but as many can testify the after effects are worse then bringing a baby into the world.
Why go the personal insult route? The zygote thing is not "crap." The right to lifers even tried to get the morning after pill banned. And what gives anybody the right to tell a woman she must go through with having a child she does not want.
I've yet to see the RTLers announce how many children the individuals who comprise it have adopted. In other words, putting their money where their mouths are.
So which is worse – choosing to end an unwanted pregnancy as early as possible or the even worse trauma of giving up a child to a future that might mean spending either years in an orphanage or in an abusive foster setting – because those do exist. Not to mention the residual emotional suffering to that child.
"sheltiemom" and "sweetmama", thanks to you as well for displaying yet more bizarro liberal thinking. Since when does advocating the protection of human life require that we start adopting the babies you and other want to see killed??!! How that idea ever crept into the pro-abortion ind is beyond me.
And "sheltiemom", the issue is that the unborn child is a human life. So the question is not "what gives anyone the right" to stop a woman and her doctor from killing that life, but that once that human life is conceived taking that life is essentially murder. Go read my comment above and apply your logic to the baby just after birth. Who has the right to keep a woman from killing her baby after birth if she decides she doesn't want it??
All of you pro-abortionists need to stop and ponder this for a good while. The only difference in all of your arguments between a baby before birth and one after birth is when does life begin? Unless you can scientifically prove that life suddenly springs into existence at birth (or at the beginning of the second trimester, apparently, for Victoria), then all you are doing is rationalizing the taking of completely innocent life.
whrosen, discussion with you is like dealing with an unruly child. If you don't like the potential consequence, take precaution. Don't play with fire and then complain you have been burned.
I know, I'm stupid and you're a potential victim of my stupidity.
chrisbc, there really isn't much to ponder. Unless you have been adopting unwanted children, unless you've been contributing money and time to orphanages, unless you're doing more than just feeding the mantra of protection of life, your opinion doesn't really do much for me. Come to think of it, most anti-abortion protests are filled with men and very few women. Would you happen to be one of those men?

Crusaders Drop Close Game to Drake at Home
Saturday, September 23, 2006A late Drake interception returned for a touchdown in the final minute spoiled Valparaiso's chance to tie the game on Saturday afternoon as the Crusaders fell 21-7 to the Bulldogs in Pioneer Football League action at Brown Field.
Phillip Williams picked off a Ryan Doerffler (Fort Wayne, Ind./Concordia H.S.) pass and returned it 14 yards for a touchdown with just 26 seconds remaining to seal the game for the Bulldogs.
Valpo fought hard all day, keeping the game close throughout. The Bulldogs scored on the first possession of the game as Scott Pahydavong ran 16 yards down the right sideline for a touchdown as Drake took a 7-0 lead just 2:26 into the game.
The Crusader defense kept the deficit to just seven throughout the rest of the first quarter and into the second until Josh Lynn (Hammond, Ind./Morton H.S.) went in from a yard out on his first career carry to tie the game at seven with just 3:40 to play before halftime.
Drake answered on the ensuing drive as Willie Cashmore scored from seven yards out to give the Bulldogs a 14-7 lead at the break.
Valpo drove down field to begin the third quarter only to see an interception inside the Drake 30 end the drive. After neither team scored in the third, the visitors appeared poised to add to the lead early in the fourth, driving to the Crusader seven-yard line before Jason Grunewald (Munster, Ind./Munster H.S.) picked off a Derek Retherford pass in the end zone.
Starting at their own three after the pick, Valpo used 15 plays to drive 83 yards, moving all the way down to the Drake 14. A fourth down pass fell incomplete, ending the drive with 6:46 to play. Valpo's defense got a stop, forcing a punt with 48 seconds to play, but the game-ending interception ended the Crusaders' hopes for the win.
Doerffler finished the game 20-of-42 for 230 yards with seven of the passes going to Steve Ogden (Wauwatosa, Wis./West H.S.) for 86 yards. John Popper (Dublin, Ohio/Coffman H.S.) led the Valpo ground attack with 14 carries for 49 yards.
Defensively, Sean Dillon (Orland Park, Ill./Mount Carmel H.S.) led the Crusaders with ten tackles while Jimmy Riker (Tekonsha, Mich./Tekonsha H.S.) added seven, including two for loss, a fumble recovery, a pass break-up, and a sack.
Pahydavong led Drake (3-1, 1-0 PFL) with 27 carries for 128 yards and a touchdown while Retherford was 12-of-22 for 166 yards. Daniel Marx caught four passes for 88 yards for the Bulldogs.
Valparaiso (2-2, 1-1) will look to rebound next Saturday afternoon as the Crusaders entertain Jacksonville for Homecoming. Kickoff is set for 12 p.m. at Brown Field with all the action carried online at www.valpo.edu/athletics and on the Valpo Sports Radio Network.

Drug courts are special criminal court dockets that provide judicially supervised substance abuse treatment and case management services to nonviolent drug-involved criminal offenders in lieu of prosecution and incarceration. The drug court model assumes that most drug offenders are addicts or serious drug abusers, and that drug use fuels or exacerbates other criminal activity. As a result, drug court clients are typically required to satisfy an intensive regimen of treatment and supervisory obligations. However, research suggests that roughly one-third of clients in drug courts do not have a diagnosable or clinically significant substance use disorder (DeMatteo, Marlowe, Festinger, and Arabia, 2009). For these clients, standard drug court services may be ineffective or even clinically contraindicated. Instead, these low-risk clients may be best suited for a secondary prevention or early intervention approach directed at interrupting the acquisition of addictive behaviors. Unfortunately, there are no established secondary prevention packages that could be readily adapted for use with adults in criminal justice settings. We received a 2-year R21 grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse to develop a secondary prevention intervention for adult drug court clients who do not have an identifiable substance use disorder. The intervention is being developed with the assistance of a multi-disciplinary expert panel, and is currently being pilot tested among misdemeanor drug court clients in Wilmington, Delaware. Future research will examine the effectiveness of the intervention among other criminal justice populations, including reentry clients.
My research on psychopathy focuses on basic questions about the construct of psychopathy among under-studied groups, and the use of psychopathy measures in judicial and forensic contexts. Although we know a great deal about psychopathy among incarcerated and forensic populations, we know relatively little about psychopathy among community samples. Some of my earlier work examined psychopathy among non-criminal community samples, and we're planning to continue this line of research. The Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) is the most empirically validated instrument for measuring psychopathy in correctional and forensic psychiatric populations. The PCL-R's predictive utility with criminal justice populations has led to its frequent use by clinicians conducting forensic assessments in criminal and sexually violent predator (SVP) cases. Despite its apparent wide acceptance in U.S. courts, little is known about how often the PCL-R is being introduced, the types of cases in which it is being used, and whether claims made in court regarding psychopathy are empirically defensible and/or relevant to the question at hand. In earlier research, we documented the use of the PCL-R in U.S. courts from 1991 through 2004, by year, jurisdiction, type of evaluation, and party (DeMatteo & Edens, 2006). Results suggested that the PCL-R is being used by expert witnesses with increasing regularity across U.S. jurisdictions, primarily to assess risk of future violence. Unfortunately, this project also uncovered several cases that illustrate concerns regarding the questionable validity of the PCL-R to certain types of legal questions that may arise in criminal and SVP trials. The next step in this line of research involves updating the previous case law survey, and replicating the survey using case law from other countries. A related line of research is examining the probative value and prejudicial impact of psychopathy evidence in court.
For the past several years, Kirk Heilbrun and I have been consulting with Community Education Centers, Inc. (CEC), which operates private assessment and rehabilitation centers for criminal offenders throughout the U.S. Several of their facilities operate as reentry facilities for state prison inmates being released from incarceration. In collaboration with CEC, we are examining the effectiveness of the reentry programming, including its effectiveness of specific populations of offenders (e.g., females). We are also planning to evaluate the "treatment fit" between clients' criminogenic needs and the provided interventions.

For the second time leaders with SA2020 are asking San Antonio residents to make resolutions to make the city a greater place to live and work.
Nineteen local leaders are hopping on the resolution bandwagon with personal resolutions to impact their city. Mayor Julián Castro wants to make a difference with mom and pop restaurants.
"What I'm going to be doing this year is going to at least 25 new restaurants that I have never eaten at before that are small, locally owned restaurants in our city to try and support small businesses. That's my resolution," he said Tuesday.
The San Antonio Food Bank has been named one of the top 10 charities in the nation based on financial health, transparency and accountability, and results. Watchdog group Charity Navigator named it one of its "10 Top-Notch Charities."
In the first segment:
Former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell was indicted last week, former Mayor of New Orleans Ray Nagin is in court for 21 counts of corruption and Jesse Jackson jr. resigned last year, but what does Texas look like?
A report card from the Center for Public Integrity gives us a dismal D+ in terms of our risk of corruption, last month it gave us an F for our judicial financial disclosures.
Along with the San Antonio Symphony's "Rusalka," another opera is coming. It's called "La Curandera," and it's got a fascinating backstory.
"La Curandera is a very special opera for us," said Opera Piccola General Director Mark Richter about the opera written by former San Antonian Robert Xavier Rodriguez. It's modeled after Mozart's "Bastien and Bastiene," but with a twist.
"It's definitely Mexican culture that's going to be in the music and on the stage," Richter said.
Republican candidates for lieutenant governor talked about everything from abortion to marijuana during the first statewide debate, but the one area that received little attention was education funding.
The first statewide debate started with questions about a state judge's recent decision to allow a Fort Worth family to stop life support for their 23-week pregnant mother after the hospital said it conflicted with one of the state's pro-life laws.
Current Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples said the statue conflicts with other state laws.
Through a series of meetings and interviews, neighborhood leaders in the city's North Side District 10 have come to a conclusion on who they want to replace outgoing Councilman Carlton Soules.
Soules, in his second term on the city council, will step down Thursday to focus on his campaign for Bexar County judge in the Republican primaries.
Update (9:15 a.m.) Today will not be as bad as Friday but some ice and sleet is being reported in certain parts of the city. Pat McDonald, a forecaster with the National Weather Service, said some freezing rain has been reported at the airport.
The temperature is just below freezing at the moment and McDonald predicts that will not get above 32 degrees until 10 a.m. or 11 a.m. More precipitation is expected in the next couple of hours.
The New Braunfels ordinance that bans cans and large coolers on the Comal and Guadalupe Rivers was overturned by a state judge.
The New Braunfels City Council banned cans; other disposable items, and large coolers from its rivers in 2011. Met with opposition from river outfitters, a group sued the city shortly after the council vote. A judge has indicated he will rule in favor of those outfitters.
James Ewbank, the attorney for the river outfitters, said the can ban was arbitrary:
Bat experts have determined a bat colony has established itself inside the walls of a 45-year-old dorm building at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland.
More than 200 Lackland recruits are on a rabies vaccine regimen after several bats were discovered in their dorm a couple of weeks ago. But the building is huge, and although the dorms were secured and entrances sealed off, it took experts a longer time to find the bat colony that was discovered over the weekend.
With the recently-released video that shows an alleged Battleground Texas volunteer making remarks about Republican gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott's disability, leaders within the group are telling organizers to be on the lookout for undercover members of Project Veritas, the group that released the video, and to not be baited into saying something they will regret.
But Battleground representatives say they will not be going to extremes to ensure it doesn't happen again.

Fashion Designer Christian Dior (1905-1957) was born in Normandy, France. At his parents' insistence, he studied political science but he returned to Paris in 1935 and began his design career by selling his fashion sketches for 10 cents each. After leaving school, he opened a small art gallery in 1928 from the money he received from his father, but due to the family's financial disaster, he was later forced to close his gallery. From the 1930s to the 1940s, he worked with Robert Piguet until being called up for military service. Having left the Army in 1942, Dior joined the fashion house of Lucien Lelong, where he and Pierre Balmain were the primary designers, and in 1946, he founded his own fashion house, backed by textile manufacturer Marcel Boussac. Dior created an opulent clothing style which contrasted the severe living conditions of post-war France. After the war, he helped to re-establish Paris as the capital of world-fashion and he is considered the last great dictator of style in the 1950s.

An alluring town awash with pizzazz, Kingscliff is a popular retreat for families and couples. It boasts friendly, uncrowded beaches and a main street full of celebrated restaurants. Within steps of most Kingscliff holiday accommodation are renowned estuaries, sea cruises, and exciting festivals. Rainforest picnics and mountain treks are only a short drive away.
Vast farmlands surround Kingscliff holiday villas, some open to the public. Tropical Fruit World is a family favourite. Within the grounds of the interactive plantation is the largest variety of tropical fruit in the world. Train rides, safaris, and riverboat cruises guide visitors around the many splendid sites including a fauna park, the Magic Garden, and Treasure Island. Sample the native fruit and appease hungry appetites with a snack in the Plantation Pavilions. Organic beauty products are also available. Plan to spend a full day traversing the immense farmlands of Tropical Fruit World before heading back to family holiday houses in Kingscliff for a night of well-deserved relaxation.
Similarly, the Melaleuca Station is a Ti-Tree plantation accessible via a train ride on a recreated Victorian railway. From the steam train, visitors can view an animal sanctuary and the tea tree plants. There is also a commentary on the production of tea tree oils.
Nearby parks and nature reserves are a common feature of Kingscliff serviced apartments and homes. Koalas and sea turtles are a highlight of the Cudgen Nature Reserve. Sparkling next to the rainforests and heathlands of the reserve, Cudgen Lake is an ideal spot for barbeques and canoeing. At the edge of the lake are artefacts and stone arrangements of an Aboriginal quarry. Spectacular views of the hinterlands are accessible from Cudgen Mountain.
Fifteen minutes north of Kingscliff is Fingal Head. Off the shores of Fingal Head is Cook Island Aquatic Reserve. Leopard shark, wobbegong, and stingray sightings are frequent and whales can be heard singing during the appropriate season. Diving is allowed in the reserve, but fishing is prohibited to protect the biodiversity.
Additionally, in Fingal Head near Kingscliff family accommodation is the Fingal Lighthouse, also known as the Fingal Head Light. The current structure was built in 1878 to warn ships of the dangerous terrain around the sea at Fingal Head. It is still in operation and provides fantastic views of the ocean.
Opportunities for exhilarating water sports such as free diving, snorkelling among the coral reefs, and surfing are prevalent around Kingscliff holiday apartments and homes. The enticing estuaries are famous for fishing and swimming, and the nearly uninhabited beaches allow privacy in sun bathing. Lounge on the pristine beaches, build sandcastles, and enjoy a life of seaside luxury.
Kingscliff embraces its café culture. A welcomed consequence of the surrounding farmlands, the restaurants are known throughout New South Wales and Queensland for incorporating the finest produce into their recipes. Charming establishments, from boutique cafés to fine dining, are prevalent along Marine Parade. During the warm summer months, it is common for hundreds to be seated outdoors, enjoying the sea breeze as they eat.
Sunday markets allow guests of self-contained apartments and homes to replicate tasty meals at their own convenience. On the second and fourth Sunday of every month, farmers from around Kingscliff gather to tender fresh fruit and vegetables, crafts, and novelty items. Annual jubilees, such as Art, Food, and All That Jazz and the Main Street Festival provide music and entertainment along with the opportunity to purchase sweet treats.
Exquisite, bright summers await Kingscliff holiday home guests, especially in the months of December to February, ideal for trotting to the beach and alfresco dining. For those seeking holiday deals during the Australian winter, expect comfortably mild temperatures.
As Kingscliff is in northern New South Wales, travel from Sydney requires a flight on a national airline, such as Jetstar of Virgin Blue, to the Gold Coast Airport in Coolangatta. It is an estimated 20 minute drive along the beautifully scenic Pacific Highway from the Gold Coast Airport to most holiday accommodation in Kingscliff.
Alternatively, Brisbane International Airport is an hour and a half away from Kingscliff. Both Qantas Airways and Singapore Airlines run services from London to Brisbane. Interstate rail and bus services are available for those requiring public transportation.
Savour the local coffee, indulge in the delectable cuisine, relax by the sea, and bring the family on an epic adventure to any of the surrounding plantations and lighthouses. There are many unforgettable activities in Kingscliff that appeal to all ages. A stay at a Kingscliff holiday rental is more than a family sabbatical; it is a legacy of memories.

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — To the editor:
"Divide and conquer" this term has been widely used recently to describe the current trend that we are experiencing in the United States and around the world. President Obama has been trained to do just that and has been doing it to perfection and has been very successful in his desire to destroy our great country as we know it.
We are well on the road to socialism and communism, and the scary part of the whole thing is that Obama believes that he is right and is committed to completing his goal. .
This has been accomplished by confusing the general public as to what his objectives are and convincing many that change is necessary to save our country from the corrupt capitalistic system, and that God and the Constitution are no longer relevant in our modern society.
And also, the expansion of big government that will take care of all the needs of all the people who deserve it or not and do so on the backs of the taxpayers, who are slowly being diminished by increased taxes, fees and cost of living. All of which does not affect our do-nothing politicians with all their benefits and pensions, which are far greater than those of the taxpayers who continue to retain them in office.
Let us mention the economy, which is stifled by rules, regulations and the tremendous amount of importing of consumer products, which should return to domestic manufacturing by making our system more competitive in the world market, unions please take notice. Millions of workers unemployed and millions of jobs unfilled, either due to unqualified workers or just not willing to take the jobs because our welfare system is in competition with the companies, and if this continues our economy will never recover.
Last but not least, the corruption and waste in all levels of government are totally out of control. Washington politicians should be paying for their medical coverage like everyone else and reverse all wage increases they vote for themselves behind closed doors. Government employees should not be paid above and beyond the national average; pensions should be reduced to a more reasonable level. And how many appointed jobs have gone to unqualified, overpaid individuals, many of whom never even work, or show up and do nothing.
The bases of our success here in the United States have been trust in God, family, education and hard work. Thanks to our present administration, they are all but totally destroyed
In spite of all the negative aspects that exist in our country and the world today, I am still optimistic that a miracle will occur and restore our great country to its original values as expressed in our Constitution, so help us God.
So, you politicians in Washington, do what is right for the country and not for yourself and your party or you all should be fired.

Fried Egg BLT with Harissa & Avocado
This sandwich is so delicious it makes even gluten-free bread seem divine. Inspired by the movie Spanglish – worth seeing for a couple of killer food scenes, thanks to consulting chef Thomas Keller – it's basically just a glorified BLT.
But I love glorified, especially when the glory is via a fried egg, and melted cheese, and harissa, and if you're feeling particularly holy, a smear of lightly salted, smashed avocado…la la laaah! Glory all over the place.
Despite my rave about gluten-free bread, the best sandwiches are of course comprised of the best individual ingredients. They're also about perfect timing so that the play of hot and cold, crunchy and creamy, tangy and salty and sweet and rich all come together, in every single bite, and blow your mind a little bit.
(Wow. Can you tell that I'm writing this while on vacation? I'm relaxed and apparently full of adjectives…)
I've been making this sandwich for years but had strayed away from it since giving up gluten almost two years ago. Big thanks to my friend Molly Herrmann for making me a similar version, on gluten-free bread, and reminding me how very much I had missed it.

As I type this, I am sitting in the waiting area at Gwinnett Duluth Hospital, waiting for my husband, Mike, to have his shoulder surgery. I have to say, this is the cushiest hospital waiting area I've ever been in. There are comfortable arm chairs and sofas. And -- get this -- the coffee is FREE! And so is the wireless. And it is appropriately hushed. So hushed that I don't want to make the phone calls I have to make for fear of disturbing the hush. And there are some tables to spread your stuff out on. I may have to gather up my work projects and bring them here more often so I can actually get something done without interruption. But for worrying about my husband, I would be in paradise.
They have the funky-coolest system here. When we first checked in, the lady at the front desk gave me a pager like I was waiting for a table at Chili's. This way I don't feel tied to this fabulous waiting room and can wander at my leisure and know I will be beckoned if I am needed. I was also given a super-secret black ops code, which was easy to remember because it contained the first two letters of our last name and my husbands first two initials, with a random number in between (3) to fool people. This code is connected to this big screen TV hanging on the wall which lists all the people having surgery by their super secret code and where they are in the process (pre-op, surgery, recovery, etc.) This is such a simple and effective system, I'm betting the hospital was able to trim two people off its payroll whose sole job used to be to answer almost every question with, "They'll come out to get you when they're ready for you." I liken this system to the uber-efficient system at Five Guys, which I wrote about in one of my first posts.
Thankfully, there is not, as there tends to be in every other waiting room on planet Earth, some TV blaring with either a 'news' show preaching loudly to the choir, or some 'seriously? that's a tv show' show like, "World's Nastiest Hamburger Joints" or "Real Clerks at a Wal-Mart in Iowa." I hate these things. I find it impossible to think complete thoughts or read a book or do anything worthwhile while being attacked by this kind of audial and visual stimulus from all sides. In this waiting room, there is another silent TV playing some kind of internal Power Point on a loop that gives 'helpful' health and diet tips like, "When eating french fries, order a small instead of a large" and "Drink diet soda instead of the kind with sugar in it." I didn't watch it for long, but I suspect, "Always wear your seat belt when driving" and "don't run with scissors" were next. In addition to these fascinating facts, I also learned that I was privileged to be in the waiting room during Perianesthesia Nurse Awareness Week. I have to say, up until now, I was completely unaware.
This is not to say that everything here is perfect. After 7 or 8 cups of free coffee, even I have to switch to something milder. The coffee is free, but not the water. There is your standard complement of overpriced vending machines. It is impossible to eat or drink anything healthy from these machines. After feeding a dollar sixty into the machine, I pressed the button for the one non-artificially flavored beverage, water. (I still find it insane to pay that kind of scratch for filtered tap water, but when you are thirsty, you are thirsty.) Naturally, at 9:45am when I attempted to make the purchase, it was already sold out. Since I had used dollar bills in the machine and couldn't figure out how to retrieve them, and since I was bound and determined to follow the no-sugared drinks rule that was in heavy rotation ten feet to my right, I was forced to choose between diet caffeine free Coke and Coke Zero. I only ever drink sodas when my tummy is sad, because otherwise they taste more or less like battery acid to me. I didn't want the additional caffeine, but I cannot bear the taste of saccharine, so Coke Zero it is. The sweetness is just making me thirstier, the caffeine is making me shakier, and I can feel the pits forming in my teeth as they dissolve from all the acid. I guess if I go into cardiac arrest or a diabetic coma, at least I'm already in the hospital. I'm considering just dumping the Coke out and filling the bottle with tap water.
It is a sunny day, and the sun is coming through the skylights that surround the room, making this the least depressing hospital in the world. (That and the fact that this is an outpatient facility, so no one is having life-or-death procedures.) I'm typing this, using enough fingers to make a typing teacher proud, and thinking of my poor husband who will have to do everything as a lefty for the better part of six weeks. I know that he will be in a lot of pain, I know that for the foreseeable future I will try my best to ease his pain and be his right hand, and I know we are in for a rough time ahead of us. Still, for the moment, all is peaceful and quiet out here in the waiting room, and Mike is on the kind of anesthesia and accompanying nerve blocks and pain killers that are only available in a hospital, so neither one of us is feeling much pain. This is a rare treat for both of us. These peaceful moments are hard to come by. I'm going to enjoy it while I can.

Which Area of Law Should You Pursue?
Law schools offer an overwhelming array of concentrations, certificates and diplomas. Do you feel out of the loop? That's okay, specialties and interests bloom as more classes and organizations fill your schedule. Just like college, some students arrive with a specific interest; some will stay the track while others will deviate. Still, a majority of incoming students have no clue where their degree will lead.
So how will you decide?
Your classes will guide you. Although every foundational course has its value, students typically find a niche within their first two years. For example, contracts might not be your path if you prefer trial advocacy. Or maybe you have a strong scientific background that compliments patent law. Take your time, reflect on your interests and network!
Ask professors. Yes, meet your professors during office hours. Most will be more than happy to talk about your interests – especially if it's a similar field. Don't be shy, explore your options.
Meet Career Services. Career counselors are paid to know about legal job options and market availability. They are a great resource for guidance on landing a job in your preferred field. They can candidly discuss job options. Furthermore, they offer resume and interview coaching to give you an edge in the job market. Again, network, explore and learn.
Join professional organizations. Do not just join student groups, become involved. Meet guest speakers or better yet seek out speakers for the group. Attend conferences and professional organizations. You might meet a future employer.
Participate with a clinic. Clinics offer pro bono experience to law students. At Widener Law, students represent a client from swearing in to a settlement or verdict. The interviewing, case briefing and research skills provided through clinics are extraordinary. If you are considering traditional attorney work, seek out clinical opportunities.
Overall, take advantage of the opportunities presented to you. Your skills and talents develop in time. As always, feel free to contact me with questions: email@example.com

Thread: Best age gap between siblings
June 24th, 2013 10:10 AM #6
My closest was 19 months (Seb and Bronwen) and my biggest is currently 4 years 2 months (Vio and Wolfie). I see pros and cons with both. I have really liked all the olders being relatively independent (as far as can get dressed alone, put on shoes, buckle into car seats/boosters, pour own drinks etc) as I've had a new baby now. But, I am back in "baby phase" of having diapers to do and probably the hardest is bringing Wolfie to all the "big kid" things they do, not that its hard, persay, but as he gets older and wants to explore his world there are certain activities that will be more difficult to take a baby and toddler to then if I had all "older" kids at the event, kwim? At least when I just had 2 that were under 2, the "fun" things we were doing were all "little kid" activities where as now they are geared towards the older 4 and Wolfie just comes along. For instance, we are going to the library today but will not be doing the baby storytime because of the older 4 and their library needs. However, I do think that being the youngest of 5 has its perks, especially since Bronwen is always more than happy to give him one on one story times and while he may never do certain infant/baby "things" he does have lots of loving hands to hold him and play with him at all times.
I only had a problem once with sibling jealousy, and that was when Vio was a baby and Linus was almost 2 1/2. She was a baby that cried a lot and Linus didn't like that and would get upset when she got upset. Honestly, the other times baby was born and the older kids adjusted just fine.Married to my love since August 2001

Amelie is almost 5 and Daisy is brand new, and so far, its working well. Amelie is at an age where she is independent and can do a lot of things for herself, like getting dressed and brushing her own teeth, etc. She can keep herself entertained while I'm looking after Daisy and is old enough to understand she can't be rough with her.
I'm happy with how this is working thus far but obviously it is early days yet. We won't be having any more children but the idea of two close together makes me break out in a cold sweat, I simply could not do it!

For me personally, I think between 3 and 4 years will be ideal. In my experience (as a preschool teacher; I only have 1 child of my own), the "MINE" stage starts much sooner than age 3. Like, as soon as they're old enough to say the word "mine". Babies are very self-centered and the older they get, the more they come to understand that the world doesn't revolve around them. 3 years old is about when they start becoming a little more independent (they're potty trained, they can feed themselves, etc.) They can also communicate their needs much better and be reasoned with to a certain extent. I loved teaching 3-4 year old preschool! One of my students became a big sister while in my class and it was a really exciting time for her. She loved telling everyone she was going to have a baby sister. I think a 3 year old can understand the concept of a new baby much better than a younger toddler (not that they understand what it entails, how their life will change, etc....but, honestly, neither do you!) My daughter just had her 1st birthday at the beginning of this month, so we're waiting at least another year before we start thinking about TTC again. It took us awhile the first time because I was diagnosed with PCOS, but who knows how long it will take next time.
June 24th, 2013 11:05 AM #12
This is a great topic for me. Baby #1 is 9 months old and we're trying to figure out if we're ready to start TTC or if we should wait a bit longer. We'd love to have 3 kids but I'm 37, and don't want to be pregnant when I'm well into my 40s. (DH said at the beginning of our relationship that he wanted 5 kids, but that's asking way to much at this point!) That means the babies need to be close together, but I don't want to rush things either -for my body or for baby! It's good to read the pros and cons that all you other mamas have listed. Thanks!Mommy to John Alexander & 3 furbabies; Maggie the dog, Rex & Bella the wannabe lions

I'm 4 years apart from my brother, and I don't think it was entirely the age gap, but we hated each other as children. It went far beyond normal sibling rivalry, but IME, other siblings that are 4 years apart aren't that close either.
I'd like to have my children close in age, but it's unlikely we'd be ready for a second child any time within the next 2 years. So I'll probably wait until Lillian is 5 or 6 before adding another. I'm also really interested in fostering or adopting older children, so maybe one day she will have a sibling close in age to her...but it won't be as a baby or toddler.Lillian Elizabeth 6.16.13

NORMAN — The third annual Heartland Baseball Classic is set to return to Norman and Moore on June 18-23. Baseball players from around the nation will converge on the area for the weekend-long tournament.
This year's field includes high school all star teams representing Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona, Georgia, Ohio, Maryland, Arkansas and Colorado. Colorado is new to the tournament this year, replacing Team Canada.
Team rosters are made up of all star high school players, most of whom have just graduated and will be playing in college next year.
Opening Ceremonies and a home run derby kick-off the Classic at 7 p.m. Monday at the Southmoore baseball field in Moore. A total of 32 games will be played from Tuesday through Saturday at Southmoore, Norman North and Norman High.
However, Heartland officials are having a difficult time finding host families for the visiting players to stay with during the tournament.
Host families take two or more players into their home and provide a place to stay, keep them fed and get them to their games each day.
"This has been a great experience for our family," said Jud Foster, who serves as Vice President of the Heartland Board of Directors. "These kids are talented athletes with a bright future and it has been fun for our family to get to know them and then keep up with them as they move on with their baseball carrier. We heard yesterday that one of our players was just drafted by the Astros. We are so excited for him."

Parents Reminded to Check Child's Safety Seat
Published November 16th, 2009
Parents are being reminded to double check their child's safety seat. Four our of every five seats are installed incorrectly, increasing the chance of injury of death in a traffic accident.
The state's chief safety officer says most parents don't know the safety rules. Last week, American Express donated $10,000 to the Florida Highway Patrol Advisory Board. The money will be used to buy 200 child safety seats for families.

A broken light at East-West stadium threatened to delay Fairmont Senior's game against Buckhannon-Upshur on Friday.
But the problem was resolved, and the Polar Bears (6-2, 5-1 in the Big 10) proved that nothing was wrong with the scoreboard either, as they lit it up with seven touchdowns in a 49-7 blowout win over the Bucs (2-7, 2-4 Big 10) on Senior Night.
"There's two nights you always want to win: Senior Night and homecoming," Fairmont Senior coach J.L Abbott said. "These senior have stuck with this program for four years and put in a lot of hard work. They'll always remember they won on Senior Night."
Quarterback Austin Norman will especially want to remember this one. He threw for four touchdowns and ran for a fifth, all during the first half.
After struggling to get the ball out in rhythm at times last week, he said the coaches emphasized quick drops and releases at practice.
It showed Friday when he was on time and on target.
"This might be the best we looked passing the ball all season," Abbott said of his quarterback, who was 11-for-14 for just under 200 yards.
Neil Scherich was on the receiving end of two of the touchdown passes. He also sniffed out a screen play and snatched an interception for a pick-6.
"I just read it, and instinct and all that took over," Scherich said.
Ryder Skarzinski and Luke Hrapchak hauled in the other two touchdown passes from Harmon. And in the third quarter Malik Boddy rushed for a 6-yard touchdown to stretch the Polar Bears' lead to 49-0.
Buckhannon scored a late-game touchdown on a 42-yard run by Tyler Demastes to spoil the shutout.
The only other piece of bad news for the Bears was that senior running back and leading rusher Noah Harmon went down with a knee injury early in the first quarter. He left the stadium on crutches.
"We're hoping it's not as bad as it looked," Abbott said. "It's going to get looked at tomorrow."
After losing two of four on a road stand earlier this season, the Polar Bears have now won two straight home games. Norman said it feels like Fairmont Senior is back on track.
The Polar Bears will host Lincoln at Fairmont State University next week before wrapping up the season at East-West Stadium against East Fairmont.
"A win tonight gets our momentum back going into next week," Norman said. "We know Lincoln is going to give us a fight, especially coming off a loss. They're going to be hungry for a win."

May 7 – May 11, 2014
The Annual Ute Mountain Mesa Verde Birding Festival provides a popular venue for visiting southwestern Colorado during the second weekend in May. Nestled between alpine and mesa forests and scenic desert canyons, the Four Corner's intriguingly diverse landscapes, and mild climate, have drawn people to the region for generations. Ancestral Pueblo farmers dwelled in places now known as Mesa Verde, Hovenweep, and Canyon of the Ancients. Today's meadows, pastures, cultivated fields, historic orchards, stock ponds and reservoirs establish habitat for a wide-spectrum of migratory and resident birds. Some species, such as Lucy's Warbler, are found no place else in Colorado.
Hosted by the Cortez Cultural Center, the UMMV Birding Festival draws upon the expertise of regional wildlife specialists who volunteer as tour guides and guest lecturers. Each year new tours, and repeat favorites, explore an array of birding hotspots that attract avian species from loons and grebes to sparrows, grosbeaks, and finches. Overnight tours within easy driving distance offer different environs and the prospect of encountering species not found within the Cortez area.
Southwest Colorado's first birding records date to the 1880s. Tours that combine birding with regional archaeology, ecology, and history take UMMV birders into the realms of gulls, shorebirds, waterfowl, Osprey, Peregrine Falcon, Bald and Golden eagles, elusive owls, woodpeckers, flycatchers and phoebes, American Dipper, towhees, crossbills, and colorful bluebirds, tanagers, and warblers. The festival's birding tally has climbed to 180 species.
The UMMV Birding Festival designs activities and tours to fit a gamut of abilities, ages, and interests. Early evening lectures, social hours, a bird-themed art show, and banquet add to the festival's five days of enjoyment — learning, socializing, and most importantly birding.
Hiking up to 500 miles each summer for eight years while conducting research on the Elegant Trogon in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Rick Taylor developed an intimate knowledge of the birds, habitats, and locations throughout Southeastern Arizona. During the course of his research in 1977 he reported the first Eared Quetzal seen in the United States. Inevitably, his interest in trogon ecology led him south into Mexico, then Central, and South America, where he soon discovered the magic of tropical birds.
In 1980 he founded Borderland Tours, a birding company dedicated to responsible ecotourism which operates trips throughout the world. Aside from leading tours to locations from Arizona to Africa and Alaska to Asia every year, Rick has authored location checklists for finding birds in Arizona's Chiricahua and Huachuca Mountains, as well as Trogons of the Arizona Borderlands and the American Birding Association's most popular title, A Birder's Guide to Southeastern Arizona. His Birds of Southeastern Arizona, a regional photo field guide covering all of the regularly-occurring birds in this area as well as all of the Mexican specialties, was published in 2010.
"Six Seasons: A Birding Year in the Land of the Apache"
The Chiricahua Apaches divided their year into 6 seasons based on natural phenomena. Unlike astronomical systems like that of the Maya in the New World or the Gregorian Calendar, a year had no precise length. Instead there were observable transitions in nature that signaled the ebb and flow of seasonal changes. Rick will guide us through these seasonal changes and how they affect bird populations.

Recent Heating Study Spells Out Propane's Advantages, Cost Savings, and Environmental Benefits
LAS VEGAS (January 19, 2010, Booth N2819)A comparative home heating analysis by Newport Partners LLC says propane-heating systems are more cost-effective than most other home heating options.
There are several options for heating a home, but not every builder knows just how effective and beneficial propane can be as a home heating source. The study, which evaluated 14 different heating systems in both new and existing homes in 16 U.S. locations, aims to bring every builder up to speed on propane.
"The research proves the value propane-fueled heating systems provide in moderate, warm, and cold climates. It took into consideration the initial and operating costs, the carbon emissions, and the return on investment," said Tracy Burleson, director of residential programs for the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC). "Propane offers homeowners an effective, efficient energy alternative that is easy to adopt and quickly pays for itself."
Results of the study are divided into three regions based on climate similarities among the cities evaluated: the Midwest, the Southeast, and the Northeast.
The Midwest region's hot, steamy summers and bitterly cold winters bring about the most severe weather temperature swings of any region. Regardless, professionals and homeowners expect heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems (HVAC) systems to deliver efficient, reliable performance regardless of the conditions outside.
"Homeowners in the Midwest could receive a payback in less than a year with the purchase of a 95 percent annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) propane furnace," said Burleson. "These same homeowners could offset greenhouse gas emissions from one passenger car's entire life by choosing to use a propane furnace rather than a standard air-source heat pump."
The Southeast region enjoys temperate weather and outdoor living opportunities year-round. Residents typically rely on HVAC systems to reduce moisture in the air. The Southeast is prone to fast-moving storms that can knock out power, a problem for households that rely on electricity for water and space heating, cooling, and refrigeration.
"In areas commonly threatened by storms and subsequent power outages, an underground propane tank can easily fuel a backup generator and provide power to essential home services," said Burleson.
Compared with a high-efficiency electric air-source heat pump, a dual-fuel system using propane offers more flexibility as energy prices fluctuate, and avoids the need for an expensive to operate electric backup. Although many Gulf Coast states' electricity rates are slightly below the national average, rates in the most populous states in the region—Texas and Florida—were 13 percent higher at the time of the study.
Fuel oil is the primary home heating energy source in the Northeast. Homeowners and builders in this region, where natural gas is not widely available, are constantly searching for more reliable, economical energy-saving alternatives.
"The study shows that homeowners in the Northeast could save considerably on installation and operating costs by updating to a 95 percent AFUE propane furnace from a standard-efficiency fuel-oil furnace," said Burleson. "With a high-efficiency propane furnace, homeowners could see a return on their investment in less than a year."
As builders and homeowners come to expect increased energy efficiency from heating systems, propane is a domestic solution. In terms of installation and operating costs, greenhouse gas emissions, and return on investment, propane is a proven energy leader.

November 15, 2005
A sentence came down for one of three teens guilty of murdering a Crozet mom and setting her home on fire, which killed a toddler inside.
Rocky Fugett was sentenced to 140 years in jail. 65 years of that sentenced was suspended. He will spend 75 years in prison.
Fugett's sister, Jessica, was found guilty of two counts of murder last week and another teen Robert Davis pleaded guilty in this case.
All three teens intended to rob Nola Charles in February of 2003.
They entered her home, took a diamond ring and a few dollars in cash, stabbed Charles and set her home on fire.
Three children were left inside the home and Nola's three-year-old son Thomas died of smoke inhalation.
Jessica Fugett is scheduled for sentencing in February.
