Now that the Supreme Court has ruled (some will say a victory for the 1st Amendment), what can we do to silence this hateful church?
Views: 85
As much as I dislike the Westboro Baptist Church, I have to agree with this. Fundamentalist Christians are their own worst enemy and they do more to turn people away from religion than they do to recruit for their god. I say let people see what their religion really looks like. It's ugly but that's what you are supporting with all of your god speak.
I do think that there should be counter protests whenever and wherever they show up. There was one group whose name escapes me that prevented the WBC from disrupting a funeral. They made angel wings and formed a line holding the wings up so that people couldn't see the picket signs. They didn't say anything to the members of the group. Just turned their backs on them, held up the wings and let the people attending the funeral have some peace.
If people start peacefully blocking their efforts on a consistent basis eventually they will give up because they won't be able to get the attention they desperately need to stay relevant to their fringe believers.
They make me sick, too....which is why I counter-protest with them when I can.
While it is true that they will not go away no matter what opposition they recieve, I think they are a valuable tool to the Atheist community. They an opportunity to spotlight what religion is and who it is that stands on the side of God. They are a lightning bolt for publicity. I think we can go one step further than making them look ridiculous, and that would be to make ALL religion look ridiculous.
I don't think we need to slience them at all, but instead deprive them of all sorts of attention(including this) that they thrive on and can't do without. Then their family, which the church consists mostly of, would collapse on itself from inner conflicts and cease to exist.
I was watching videos of WBC on youtube and people in the comments were asking for them to be killed because they defamed christianity and completely overlooked the element of irony there. Their spokeswoman Shirly Phelps' been interviewed by Fox news only to be yelled at for showing Christianity for its true colors, and Fox anchors basically shouting that their interpretation of the bible is the right one not hers.
And I just hope they won't wind up like David Koresh the proclaimed massiah of the Branch Davidian sect who was allegedly accused of molesting children of his own in the compound he resided in Texas, which he and the children among other members were found dead in after the FBI put them on fire.
This is the best yet interview I've seen of Shirley Phelps who claims that a hacktivist group called Anonymous is involved in blocking and putting down their websites, they disclaim that but then put a message up on the churchs' website during the interview after she tells him that he's probably going to hell.
I've heard of Anonymous and support them.
I think that we are going to have to live with the court's decision to allow this group.
It's just that it seems "WRONG" to me that this is allowable. Inhuman.

I write from the left on politics and policy.
Speaking at a breakfast gathering Friday morning, GOP Governor Haley Barbour announced to the attendees that it was 'essential' for
Republicans to improve their appeal among the nation's Latino voters. "The Latino vote makes a difference and can make the difference in a number of critical states," said Barbour, "and so from a purely political perspective sure we have to improve."
I hope the Governor enjoyed his eggs as any hopes Barbour and his fellow Republicans were harboring for enticing Latinos to their side of the political fence may have evaporated for a generation with the announcement that came shortly after Governor Barbour finished the morning meal.
In a move designed to refocus deportation policy onto illegal immigrants who pose criminal dangers to Americans, the Obama Administration announced that it will no longer pursue deportation proceedings against young illegals who entered the country before they were 16, have been living in the country for at least five years and have been conducting their lives like other young kids by going to school, joining the military and generally living their lives not unlike their American born friends and neighbors.
Not only was this morning's announcement a sensible expression of what our immigration policy should look like—starting with not punishing children for the illegal acts of their parents—there is no denying that it was a masterful political move designed to lock in a voting block that could make all the difference in some key, swing states— such as Nevada and Colorado—that the Obama forces will need to bring into their column if they are to succeed in November. Indeed, even if you abhor the decision to give young illegals a temporary pass, you have to acknowledge such a political masterstroke—particularly when the GOP candidate for the presidency, Mitt Romney, has taken a line so hard on immigration that even members of his party's leadership, including Haley Barbour, have taken strong exception to Mitt Romney's over-the-top strategy for dealing with illegals.
As of the time of this writing, Governor Romney has yet to comment on this morning's announcement— not surprising given the box in which the GOP candidate now finds himself.
And while there has been no shortage of GOP politicians ready to condemn the president's move, the response of the day has to belong to Florida Senator Marco Rubio who struggled to have it both ways. Check out this bit of Rubio trying to have it all—
"There is broad support for the idea that we should figure out a way to help kids who are undocumented through no fault of their own, but there is also broad consensus that it should be done in a way that does not encourage illegal immigration in the future."
So, Rubio is happy with the President's decision, yes?
While I'm sure he is, it would hardly do for a leading candidate to join his party's presidential ticket to compliment the President on a move guaranteed to anger the right-wing base. So, to make sure he covered his bases, Rubio added,
"By once again ignoring the Constitution and going around Congress, this short term policy will make it harder to find a balanced and responsible long term one."
I heard West today saying that Pres. Obama made this change in order to get these kids to vote for him! Funnier than his charge about 78 members of Congress being card carrying Marxists! Hard to believe that a single person would vote for this moron, but, so it goes.
P.S. Obama should do something like this every Friday until election day.
1. Bike paths would be the first thing.
2. Declaring Restaurant Week for restaurants with more than 1 Mexican Employee (i.e. all restaurants in the United States).
3. Have a Party for all those that are able to explain why doing what he did will make it harder to have immigration reform. BYO.
I am so proud of Obama for standing up for the rights of the people that have worked so hard to make us great. The people who have received nothing in return. Now their children, and the young people who came here seeking a better life, will have the opportunity to live like humans, rather than being hunted down like a dog and deported, the way the Republicans would have it. This is just the beginning. Vote everybody out and begin anew with people who are people and care about people.
Well said. You should have heard Hannity sputtering, and crying "FOUL" on his show today. Check. And we can hope, MATE, if the Latinos turn out to vote.
Mexican immigrants, illegal or legal, have cashed in on the benefits of this great nation; they have not meaningfully contributed to making America great. America was made great decades before Mexicans started coming here en masse. What they have received in return is a better life than they would have had almost anywhere else. Stop spouting propaganda.
People who are here illegally need to be prosecuted and held accountable; any other policy is unconstitutional. If our immigration laws need reform – and I'd be the first to say that they do – change the laws, don't neglect them.
This is not "just the beginning". God willing, this election is the end of Obama's unconstitutional policies.
Under James K. Polk we seized a port city from Mexico, that's the only thing I know we "stole" from them.
If you're referring to the American Southwest, I wouldn't say the situation merits the term theft. Either way, our ancestors acquired it from their ancestors; "we" did not take anything from "them" because we were not born yet.
My point was that this country's greatness was built by the Founding Fathers, by soldiers who fought and died to protect our nation, and by European and Asian immigrants during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Chronologically speaking, reubenr's comment is incorrect. I was not making a value judgment about Mexican immigrants.
Anyone who comes to this country legally, works hard and pays taxes, has my respect. Trebly so if they serve in the military. You misunderstand me.
If I may paraphrase a comment from you below: "Calling someone a [racist] is always the first clue you don't know what you're talking about. Allow me to clarify politically correctly: immigrants to this nation of all colors, races, and religions have not contributed statistically significantly to this country's greatness because most the work was done decades before that by other immigrants of all races and religions.
My contribution? I work hard, obey the law, pay my taxes, and give thousands more to charity.
Your turn.
forgive my typo: "immigrants to this country in the past 30 years have not contributed statistically significantly".

The Daily Star
---- — ROXBURY — In the nucleus of a community known for appreciation of culture and the arts, Phil Lenihan is betting that a showcase to the defunct musical recording format known as eight track tapes will give people yet another reason to come to this quaint Delaware County town of 2,500 people.
On the heels of opening the Orphic Gallery last summer at the Roxbury Corner Store, Lenihan will be undraping the Eight Track Museum in the same building with grand opening festivities running from 4 to 8 p.m. on Saturday afternoon.
Special guests for the occasion will be Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth. The couple represent two-thirds of the original members of the legendary New Wave band Talking Heads. They went on to start an offshoot band called Tom Tom Club, which scored several major hits, including "Genius of Love."
The museum is the first satellite of the original Eight Track Museum that opened in Dallas in early 2011. The idea for the Roxbury useum came when Lenihan said he asked the founder of that venue, Dallas music producer Bucks Burnett, if he wanted to have a temporary eight-track exhibit at the Orphic Gallery.
"Bucks upped the ante — as he usually does — and said, 'How about a permanent outpost?" Lenihan recalled in an interview.
The more he thought about the offer, Lenihan said, the more he figured that the eight track museum and his musical-themed art gallery would be a perfect fit.
"I've always had a fascination with quirky roadside attractions," Lenihan said. "And I thought I would go out of my way to see this one."
He said he plans to continue the exhibits of some of the eight track decks and tapes that are most prized by collectors at least until next summer. The exhibit is free and open to the public, he noted.
Lenihan said he hopes visitors — both those too young to remember the eight-track format that faded out in the early 1980s and those who grew up with the tapes looped inside bulky plastic cartridges — will leave the museum with a greater understanding and appreciation of the evolution of technology for musical recording.
"One of the goals of the museum is to impress upon our visitors — especially the young people — how the eight track figured in that process," said Lenihan, a 59-year-old Massachusetts native who spent the earlier part of his adult life as a rock promoter.
Eight track tapes, he noted, took off in popularity in the 1970s after William Lear, an aviation industry titan for whom the Lear Jet is named, sponsored research aimed at developing a way for making musical recordings more portable than the vinyl record albums that had to be played on turntables.
Some of the highest-quality machines can now fetch thousands of dollars on the internet auction site eBay, and certain rare tapes can also be worth hundreds of dollars to collectors.
"The interest in eight tracks has been aided greatly by their collectible value," Lenihan said.
He said the festivities Saturday will include a live broadcast on community radio station WIOX, hosted by Jezz Harkin, from 5 to 7 p.m. Lenihan said he hopes to feature some music by Levon Helm, a founding member of The Band who passed away earlier this year and had lived in the Woodstock area.
Noting the building he purchased two years ago has some 7,000 square feet of space, Lenihan said he eventually wants to open a cafe and rent space to retailers as well. While paper products have suffered as digital communications becomes more popular, Lenihan said he hopes to sell stationery products, note cards, books and magazines.
There are many people, he said, who still prefer to read writing on paper more than they do viewing computer screens of electronic gadgets.
"Some day this building could be a monument to obsolete technology," he said. "But I believe people still have a romance with the tactile printed materials."

Last week I received an email from a veteran in California, seeking assistance in replacing his dog that had to be put down after attacking a small child. The kennel that sold the dog to the veteran would not honor the request to replace the animal. After some research I had disappointing news for the veteran. When ordering the dog the veteran failed to tell the kennel: one, that he was a veteran; and, two, that the dog was to be used for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury therapy.
A "working or protective" dog was sold to the veteran.
Service dog, therapy dog, working dog what's the difference and does it really matter?
The answers are "yes" and "yes."
Yes, there is a big difference between the classifications. Yes, it does matter to the dog, the handler and the public in general.
Here's why:
A working dog classification could mean the designation provided by organized pedigree groups such as the American Kennel Club. Working group breeds are bred to perform such jobs as guarding property, individuals, rescues, as well as police and military work. The size of these dogs generally are large to giant in size, strong animals, capable of intense labor and fighting defensively. These dogs serve a specific purpose that requires specialized training to become professional working dogs. Their effort and value goes beyond mere pedigree or championship. There are more tan 14 subcategories of professional working dogs on record.
A service or specialized assistance dog is specifically trained to assist humans with disabilities. They may provide functions such as sight or hearing. Many service dogs help companions cope with various mental conditions like post traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injuries and autism. Service dogs also support people with medical conditions including diabetes, epilepsy, narcolepsy and service allergies. They can also be trained to pull wheelchairs, carry oxygen, life-support equipment or medications for their human partners.

Last week's deadly shooting in an Aurora movie theater has drawn comparisons to Colorado's other memorable tragedy, Columbine. A lot of things have changed since 1999 – including the way such events are reported in the media.
Originally published on Wed July 11, 2012 2:45 am
Sports is more ubiquitous than ever on television. And sports is almost the only thing that's left, live, on TV. NBC Universal is even going to let Americans see the Olympics live this year.
Nevertheless, despite TV's charm, last week as Andy Murray, Great Britain's homeboy, drew closer to making the Wimbledon final, the word was that tickets for actual Centre Court seats would be scalped for up to £32,000 a pair. If you're not hanging around the currency exchange market, that comes to something like $50,000. For two tickets. To a game.

Meet Weezy.
This 5-year-old domestic short-hair mix is described by volunteers at Animal Rescue League as sweet and gentle and "happy to lean into a good ear scratch—even to a complete stranger."
When volunteers checked her microchip, they discovered that she had been adopted from the ARL a few years ago and was brought in again when found as a stray. Volunteers said they hoped she wasn't homeless for long, but said she is clean and well-fed.
Weezy is also said to make new friends fairly easily.

The next time you download music or a movie from the Internet, remember that the state wants its cut.
Gov. Jim Doyle's budget proposal includes $3.2 million in revenue from an Internet sales tax.
Republicans say the money would come from a sales tax on downloads for iPods and computers.
The Co–chairman of the joint finance committee, Rep. Dean Kaufert says he's not even sure if the state will ever be able to collect that money. "Trying to throw numbers on potential sales is going to leave us in a vulnerable state down the road where if those numbers don't transpire we're going to be raising taxes or figuring ways to plug those holes."
Republicans also criticize the proposal as a tax increase.
Gov. Doyle promised to balance the budget without raising taxes.

Okay - so two punches within a week? I'm more amused with ourselves than anything, but if anyone understands, it'd be you all on this forum. I mean last week was the 335i xdrive m-sport manual, then this week we find this 328i xdrive m-sport manual WAGON. How does one resist? :P
So we just got back from our lunch hour checking out the wagon, and pending a pre-purchase inspection from our mechanic, we'll do the deal tomorrow. It's still under warranty, so I wouldn't normally do the inspection, but it looks to me like it's been lowered and has an aftermarket exhaust. Both are subtle - especially since those "x-drive" model ride a little high anyway - but given those mods, I'd feel better having it looked at.
2011 BMW 535xi - 2008 Audi TT - 2008 A3 - 2009 Ody
Hey breld, I can spot an E46 "xi" from a mile away. I know the E90 "i" Sport Models are lower, but I'm not sure the E90 "xi" is any higher than its non sport "i" counter part.
Keep us informed! Punch #4 and its not even January 15. So what is leaving if you go with the wagon?
2001 Honda Prelude Type SH/ 2011 BMW 328xi / 2011 Honda Pilot EX-L w/ Navigation
Yeah - I could be wrong on the lowered suspension. I guess I could compare it with the 335xi I just bought to see if there is a noticeable difference. It could have just been my mind playing tricks - the previous owner removed all the badging, including the "x-drive" badges under the sidemarkers. So at first, I actually thought it was a RWD model and that our search would continue. But we confirmed that it was indeed AWD through the VIN #.
So, my wife is trading in her X3 for it. Truthfully, we were actually searching for an E90 wagon when she "settled" on her X3. Kinda like the A5 for me, the X3 was great - functional and comfortable and she justified it for those reasons, but she and I are similar - she really likes the overall feel of the 3.
2011 BMW 535xi - 2008 Audi TT - 2008 A3 - 2009 Ody
I need to start looking harder. and rob a bank or something to pay for it.
Unless I sell something first, I really hate to see how crappy a car my budget will get me!
2013 Acura RDX (wife's), 2007 Volvo S40 (when daughter lets me see it), 2000 Acura TL (formerly son's, now mine again), and new Jetta SE (son's first new car on his own dime!)
Congrats on the Leaf! I've heard they make you get a charge port at home, is that true? If so, do you know how much that will cost you?
No, they don't make you do anything. The car comes with a cord that will plug into a standard 110v outlet. Problem is, that takes forever to charge. If you want faster charging, you have to get a 220v setup. However, you are free to get that anywhere you want. There are several options available, one of which is to send the standard cord to a company that will upgrade it to 220v charging for you. Cost is about $250.
'13 Stang GT; '86 Benz 300E; '98 Volvo S70; '12 Leaf; '14 Town&Country
well, of course that is IF you want a base car. I'm wondering what they will strip out of it. I would assume the Nav, but then again, the Nav seems like a necessity since it tells you where charging stations are.
And I wouldn't expect to see anything that comes close to the current Leaf lease program for a LONG time, even on the new base model. But, if buying, yes, I'd probably wait to see how the new one stacks up with the range.
Here is the company that does the upgrades:

From the International Director
Showing items 1 to 25 of 34
From the Director
It is two years since I first wrote about the possible need for GRN to move to larger premises. This 'plan' has been driven by a growing conviction that GRN Australia needs more people to fulfil its key role in the worldwide ministry of GRN.
From the GRN Australia Director - November 2010
It is inevitable that even when Christians live upright honest lives and seek the good of those around them that they will be hated - by some at least. We cannot expect any better treatment than what was handed out to our Lord and Master.
From the GRN Australia Director - October 2010
God's people are called to live as His witnesses, to be 'salt and light', agents of reconciliation, God's hands, feet and voice.
From the GRN Australia Director - September 2010
Prayer is to be our response, whatever the circumstances.
From the GRN Australia Director - June 2010
It is a challenge to respond to trouble in such a way that furthers the cause of Christ and results in us becoming more like Jesus.
From the GRN Australia Director - May 2010
We have the wonderful privilege and indeed the authority to tell people everywhere what God has done for them so that they will believe and obey him and bring glory to his name.
'Capacity building' GRN style
'Capacity Building' is one of the 'buzz' words of modern mission work. For many mission activities it is not enough to simply do ministry or mission. It is also essential to build the capacity of others.
The Silent Saints
Truly the Body of Christ is made up of many members each one with a different function but together carrying out the purpose of the Head, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Many of those who do God's work do it without recognition or acknowledgement. Many may never be acknowledged publicly - and most don't seek it anyway! We are thankful for those who have furthered the work of GRN often without any accolades.
The Power of Prayer in Nepal
Fledgling Nepali Church sets an example to us through their reliance on prayer.
Future Views
Letter from Australian director Graydon Colville inviting prayer and outlining some future directions for the continued growth of GRN Australia.
The Mystery of Prayer
A few words on the mystery of prayer from Australia's GRN Director Graydon Colville.
A message from GRN Australia's Director Graydon Colville.
Remember who you are!
We are called to work hard, but on the foundation of Jesus Christ himself.
The need for intercessors
As the GRN teams do their best to "tell all the wonderful things God has done" in the heart languages of the people, they face many difficulties and challenges.
Impact in Bangladesh
Graydon Colville is encouraged at the evidence of how the GRN Bible Picture books and audio recordings are being used in Bangladesh.
The Challenge of Leadership
As leaders, we need to listen to the voice of our colleagues in ministry, the voice of the church, the needs of the world and, most importantly, the voice of God.
Working in hard places
There are many places in the world where it is very difficult to be a committed follower of Christ.
Challenge and opportunity for Bible translation
In PNG recently I was inspired by the dedication of Bible translators and grateful to God that yet another people group has Scriptures in their own language.
Some Things are Crystal Clear
In the great spiritual conflict which rages over time and space, the outcome is not in doubt.
Has technology made God obsolete?
It seems something of a contradiction that the God who "does not change" and in whom there is "no shadow due to change", does "new things".
Prayer is better than "Skype"!
Modern communications are a wonderful thing, but it can't compete with prayer.
Never give up
We are called to keep on praying whether or not we hear about the 'effects' of our prayers.
Welcome to 2008 with GRN
It looks like it will be a busy, demanding and exciting year for us.

Leora Skolkin-Smith explains the backstory to her first novel, Edges
I think, looking back, that the days "Edges" was only a cipher
inside my very confused ideas about heritage and psyche, writing and
autobiography, real history and the illusions of politics were the
days the back-story for the novel began. I had really gone through two
other unsuccessful novels, trying as hard as I could to turn the world
I knew as a child into some sort of workable literary clay. Everything
I formed from this clay, though, was either desperately personal or
show-offey, depending on how much I had to prove to myself that I was
really a writer on any given day. It was more like I was a boxer using
words-- pugnacious, defensive and always so punchy.
A certain unmistakable character trait began to manifest itself these early struggling writing days. It was Grace Paley, a friend to my piles of drafts and rejection letters from publishers, who finally said: "You know, you have a certain fight and pridefulness in you not ...

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

In Friday's edition of Three For All on Middays with MFB, Lou Merloni, Christian Fauria and Tim Benz discussed Tara Reid's take on "Sharknado," Benz's sloppy eating habits and an unusual spam message he received on Facebook. To listen to the segment, go to the MFB audio on demand page.
Reid, who starred in the original "Sharknado" movie, told GQ Magazine that the chances of a shark attack on New York, where the sequel will take place, thanks to a furious tornado is not a far-fetched as one may believe.
"You know, it actually can happen," Reid said. "I mean, the chances of it happening are very rare, but it can happen actually."
Fauria read the quote through his own impersonation of Reid, sending Merloni and Benz into hysterical laughter.
"That's a hard sell right there," Benz said.
Said Fauria: "So be careful. If you're by any body of water and there's a pool, maybe there's a small little pond, if you see a little spin or a little twister, be careful. This could really happen."
– The guys broadcasted their show from Patriots training camp at Gillette Stadium on Friday. The team provided food for the media that included chicken fajitas and refried beans.
Benz didn't just take advantage of the free food, he did so in the most amusing way.
"During the interview [with Kevin Millar], I look over and Tim's got the microphone over his head and he's eating during the interview, which isn't the problem," Merloni said. "He's eating the refried beans, he doesn't have a fork so he's eating them with his hands.
"Not only did he not have a fork but he didn't have a napkin. What were you using to wipe your hands?" Merloni asked.
Benz responded: "My sock."
"You are improvising, adapting and overcoming," Fauria said.
– Benz talked about an unusual message he got on Facebook recently from someone named April. The message was vaguely worded and clearly spam.
"I was reading this and I was laughing out loud because I had never seen something like this from Facebook sent directly to me in my Yahoo account and I'm thinking, who falls for this crap. How does this ever work on anyone? How does anybody get duped into this?" Benz said.
Said Fauria: "You should actually just write back and have it be comical for yourself. Get a back and forth going."

'Idol' Lifts 'Lyrics,' Sinks 'Lost'
February 29, 2008 11:49 AM
"Lost" and "Celebrity Apprentice" posted season-low ratings Thursday, while "American Idol" gave yet another lead-out a series high.
A special Thursday edition of "Idol" was No. 1 for the night, with a 9.1 in the 18- to 49-year-old demographic, according to preliminary Nielsen numbers. That's up 7% from last week.
"Idol" also boosted its lead-out, "Don't Forget the Lyrics," to a series-high 5.2. "Idol" did the same thing Wednesday with its lead-out "Back to You."

A catheter is a long, soft, hollow tube. Catheters vary in size. An umbilical catheter is used for different reasons.
An umbilical artery catheter (UAC) allows blood to be taken from an infant at different times, without repeated needle sticks. It can be used to continuously monitor your baby's blood pressure, too. This type of catheter is most often used if your baby needs breathing help or very strong medicines to treat blood pressure problems.
An umbilical venous catheter (UVC) allows fluids and medications to be given without having to frequently replace an intravenous (IV) line. This type of catheter may be used if your baby is very premature, has bowel problems that prevent feeding, or needs very strong medicines to treat blood pressure problems.
There are normally two umbilical arteries and one umbilical vein in the umbilical cord. After the umbilical cord is cut off, your health care provider can find these blood vessels. The catheters are placed into the blood vessel, and an x-ray is taken to determine the final position. Once the catheters are in the right position, they are held in place with silk thread. Sometimes, the catheters are taped to the baby's belly area.
Complications include:
Blood flow and blood clot problems can be life threatening and require removal of the UAC. The NICU nurses carefully monitor your baby for these possible problems.

TUKWILA – In the lobby of SPEEA union headquarters, there are signs and piles of buttons for the taking, urging engineers and technicians to vote no on Boeing's last best and final offer contract. The stated goal of the union, to try to get the company back to the table, and try to get the Boeing to back off from its position that new hires would move away from a traditional pension program to an enhanced 401k.
But yes or no on Boeing's offer is not the only question on the ballot. The other asks for strike authorization, that would allow the union's leadership to call for a walkout if new negotiations break down or if talks simply do not re-start. The leadership has not had strike authorization throughout negotiations.
A vote would decide if well over a year of negotiations and uncertainty would end, or if more uncertainty, including the possibility of the first strike in 13 years would commence. How would members vote?
"The majority of the membership is in this middle area," said Everett-based engineer Becky Hewitt, who is also on SPEEA's negotiating committee.
She leads some of the lunch time meetings the union is using to explain the contract offer. She gets lots of questions, as she says engineers and techs are a very analytical group.
Is anybody placing any bets on the outcome? "Not that I know of," she says. "You can really see people thinking about this long and hard."
There are no polls, no way to really know how people feel. In Boeing's Bellevue offices, stress analyst Dan Peters says in his group of 30 engineers most people will vote to reject the offer.
"I would say it's definitely over 50 percent. Maybe in the range of a two thirds majority."
SPEEA decided to take Boeing's last offer to a vote after the two sides agreed to extend most terms of the old contract, including five percent annual wage pool increases for both engineers and technicians. Boeing had proposed lower wage pool increases for techs.
Boeing also withdrew earlier proposals to have SPEEA members contribute more to medical care as other parts of the company already have. Both sides say the motivation was to make sure engineers were available to fix problems with the 787's battery system and get the grounded fleet back in the air and begin delivering new jets to the airlines.
But Boeing refused to back off on its demands to move away from traditional pensions in favor of an enhanced 401k package for new hires, that the company says would be just as effective as a traditional pension, that the union contends would represent a 33 to 40 percent cut.
Also, Tuesday afternoon SPEEA Executive Director Ray Goforth told KING 5 News that he's receiving more complaints from members saying some managers were threatening to withhold raises if members voted yes.
Boeing spokesman Doug Alder says the company has received no such complaints from employees or the union.

In prison, Cody cleaned toilets during the day and wrote songs at night. Several of them made it onto another album, Spirit of a Woman. The Native American Music Awards -- the so-called Indian Grammies -- named her the best female artist of 2002. She's released four albums in all, and last year National Public Radio featured her in its 50 Great Voices series, which showcases singers around the world.
"I'd love to open for Merle Haggard," she says.
A racket outside interrupts her tale. Other members of the family are arriving, and Bailey and Renfro, two orphan sheep in a nearby pen, enthusiastically greet them: "Baaaaaah!"
The sound reminds Cody of getting out of prison: She went directly to her grandmother's corral, she says, picked up sheep manure, sniffed it and blessed herself with it. The ritual proved that she'd made it home.
The biggest change associated with her incarceration came with her discovery, in the prison library, of a book on domestic violence. "I read parts of my life in its pages. That's where my education on the subject began."
In the six years since her release, she's become an activist, giving speeches on domestic violence to assemblies in Navajo schools -- part of her Strong Spirit Campaign -- and in rallies at the state Capitol and elsewhere. Often she sings as well. "She has such a powerful presence," says Elizabeth Ditlevson, deputy director of the Arizona Coalition Against Domestic Violence. Ditlevson has accompanied Cody on her school appearances, which focus on preventing teen dating violence, a growing problem on the reservation. Teenagers sit on the edge of their bleacher seats when Cody is speaking, says Ditlevson. "If teenagers have violence in their families, it helps them realize they're not alone."
Cody still finds it hard to trust anyone. "I have times when I cry -- something will trigger a memory and I have to let go. But those days are fewer."
She's now enrolled in college, studying sociology and public relations, but for reasons of privacy and safety, she asks me to withhold the name of her school.

Forgotten women whose shaped Pennsylvania's history will be featured this month by the Lawrence County Historical Society.
Retired teachers Jean Speight and Stephanie Fulena will highlight often-forgotten but historically significant women whose names were never known or vaguely mentioned but whose contributions, they say, are worth more than a footnote.
The free program will begin at 7 p.m. Feb. 13 at the Joseph A. Clavelli History Center, 408 N. Jefferson St.
The history of women, Speight said, is often a secondary one that centers on caring for those wounded in battle, serving at document signings, or standing at the side following election victories. But women's history includes radical concepts such as girls playing sports, women gaining the right to vote, serving as heads of state or making important discoveries.
She also noted that African-American women have a history of their own which reflects their concerns, values and roles as women and as African-Americans, but these historical concerns face women of all races, she said.
More information is available by calling (724) 658-4022.

Is Your Internal Audit Function a Positive or a Negative Influence on the Business?
Internal auditors have a deserved reputation for what I would call "risk paranoia." They have yet to see a risk they think management should retain. When they report the results of their audits, they point out all the risks if no action is taken to correct the "deficiencies" they have found.
But, is that good for the business?
Has internal audit become what I refer to as a "department of NO"?
Dilbert captures the concept well. But, if an organization doesn't take risks it will not survive; it will not make a profit.
The key is for the organization to take risks – at the desired level. The risks shouldn't exceed the organization's tolerance levels.
A recent article in Bloomberg Businessweek should be required reading for all internal auditors. Note the section "Leaders must welcome risk" and the quote from Anne Mulcahy: "Taking risks is something that a leader has to do in order to really perform and keep the company moving forward."
If we are to be a force within the organization, and a positive influence rather than the department of NO, internal audit must do the following (IMHO):
- When auditors assess the potential impact of a perceived deficiency, they should compare the risk level to the organization's risk tolerance. Is the risk level too high – in which case consideration should be given to reducing it through improved risk responses (which include controls)? Is the risk level too low – meaning that there may be an opportunity to cut the cost of control? Or is the level of risk just right?
- Auditors should have a discussion with management about the level of risk they are prepared to take. If management doesn't understand the concept, and this might impair their ability to manage risks in their area, the auditor should consider this as a deficiency of its own.
- Internal auditors should be the department of HOW. Rather than just pointing out that management has a problem, internal audit should provide suggestions on the way forward, how management can address the issue. This doesn't mean that internal audit take responsibility for management of risk or operational processes; it means that they should provide value-add assurance and consulting services to improve the effectiveness of governance, risk management, and internal control processes.

Purpose – Due to disequilibrium between supply and demand in the option market, the option market-maker is under exposure to certain risks because of their net option positions. This paper aims to pay attention to whether the risk award affects the option price and the shape of implied volatility in the market-maker system.
Design/methodology/approach – The paper first eliminates the part of implied volatility explained by underlying asset's stochastic volatility-jump price process, and second sorts out market investors' net demand data from TAIEX Options tick by tick deal data and then finally considers three market maker's risks – unhedgeable risk, capital constrain risk and asymmetric information risk, and how they affect implied volatility's level and slope.
Findings – Through the research in the TAIEX Option market, the paper finds that, under unhedgeable risk, net demand pressure has a significant impact on implied volatility. Especially, unhedgeable risk due to underlying asset's stochastic volatility has the best explanation for implied volatility level, and unhedgeable risk due to underlying asset's jump can explain implied volatility slope to some extent. Capital constrain risk and asymmetric information risk have an insignificant impact on implied volatility.
Research limitations/implications – The findings in this study suggest that the risk award affects the option price and the shape of implied volatility in the market-maker system and different risks have different effects on the level and slope of option implied volatility.
Practical implications – This paper finds the influence factors of the option price in the market-maker system. It's useful for China's financial government and investors to learn the price tendency and regular pattern in the future China option market.
Originality/value – This is the first time that a net demand pressure based option pricing model is used, which is derived by Garleanu, Pedersen and Poteshman, to study the TAIEX Options' implied volatility. And the paper improves the methods eliminating the part of implied volatility explained by underlying asset's stochastic volatility-jump price process.

Northside Trail is one of the longest contouring hiking trails on Mount Tamalpais above 1800 feet elevation. Its long (2.7 mile) forested single track with north-facing lookout spots proves hikers with lots to see and do. We recommend getting to Northside Trail by coming in off the top of Mount Tamalpais along Eldridge Grade. Alternatively you can climb up to the eastern end of the trail by hiking out of Lake Lagunitas by way of Lakeview Road and climbing up Eldridge Grade.
Once at the trailhead, an old sign leads you into Northside Trail. Northside is a rugged trail, which contours east to west just under the ridge between East and West Peaks of Mount Tam. Shady mixed dry forest of nutmeg, oak, manzanita are found as you cross north running ridges, with moister cool redwood trees tucked away near the springs in the canyons. This section of trail can be tough on the ankles with loose rock in long stretches of scree, so bring sturdy shoes. A great spot for a break is at Colier Spring, where a old redwood bench is tucked between the trees and ferns next to the spring. Alice Eastwood, who was head botanist for the California Academy of Sciences for the first half of the twentieth century called the spot "Butterfly Spring" because of the many species she found there. Colier Spring is also the junction of Upper Northside and Lower Northside Trails. When you are ready be sure to take signed Upper Northside Trail when you leave.
Upper Northside winds through the forest and then breaks out on a ridge of green serpentine. Here, stunted junipers, manzanita and others are scattered across the hostile rocky landscape. Catch International Trail to start the journey back up to the peaks.
You will eventually end on East Ridgecrest Road, where you go left for 20 feet and then catch Lakeview Trail (not the same as the one coming out of Lake Lagunitas), which climbs up to the top of Middle Peak. Be sure to take the side trek to the top for sweeping views before heading down the Middle Peak Fire Road and back to the East Peak Parking area. The East Peak parking area and visitors center has interpretative exhibits about the history of the mountain, and a snack shack for a well deserved treat.
Be sure to carry water, because there is none along the route.
