(UPDATED) Pregnant Teen Seeks Restraining Order Against Abortion-Thirsty Parents
(Update: The judge in the case granted the girl a temporary restraining order preventing her parents from "threatening to use any type of physical force or means...regarding any decision she may make regarding her pregnancy."
No date has been set for a hearing on a full injunction.)
Here's one you don't see every day: A pregnant 16-year-old is seeking a temporary restraining order against her parents, whom she's accusing of violating her constitutional rights by pressuring her to get an abortion.
The girl, nine weeks pregnant and identified in court documents as "R.E.K.," is represented by the Austin-based pro-life group Texas Center for Defense of Life. She's accusing her parents of threatening her with an "ass whoopin'" and worse, if she doesn't terminate the pregnancy. For good measure, she accuses her dad of beating people up in front of her, and her mom of frittering her nights away at the local tavern. We smell a sitcom!

The girl claims that, even though her boyfriend's parents have agreed to care for the baby, her parents are willing to disown her if she doesn't get an abortion. According to the suit, the girl's mother gave her three options: "1) continue to live in misery at the house, 2) have the abortion and tell everyone it was a miscarriage, or 3) she would 'wash her hands' of R.E.K. and have R.E.K. leave."
The girl also claims that her mother has had four abortions and has threatened to "slip R.E.K. an abortion pill through deception."
Texas Center for Defense of Life President Greg Terra stated in a press release that federal law holds that "a teenage girl has the absolute legal right to make her reproductive choices. This includes the choice not to have an abortion, even against the strong coercion of the parents. If the girl lives in Texas and chooses life, then we will stand with her in a court in support of that choice."
The girl's father denied the allegations to KTRK and said he believes someone is pulling his daughter's strings. That's of course what we'd expect any dad to say, but we can't help wondering if there's something to it -- there seems to be much more going on here, and we plan on looking into it. Somethin' don't smell right. We'll keep you posted.

We bring together 320 of the most talented, progressive and like minded sports practitioners from elite sport. We came together in Cape Town unearth challenges, identify weaknesses and help teams and coaches achieve optimum success over two days.
Sign up with your email address to receive news and updates.
We respect your privacy. Your details will never be shared.
In elite sport, stagnation is a death knell. In order to stay ahead of the competition, new techniques and strategies must be actively sought and implemented. Every coach or athlete is after the next big thing that will propel them to greatness, but is it an idealistic dream to assume that innovation is something that can be taught? CONQA Sport examines the concept of innovation and finds that in the right environment, genius can flourish.
According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary and Thesaurus, an 'expert' is defined as someone "having or showing special skill or knowledge because of what you have been taught or what you have experienced." Elite sport is littered with experts, and countless others who fancy themselves as one. With all that expertise floating around, coaches and managers are often tempted to bring in an external source of knowledge to improve their athletes' performance. But is this necessary? What if a shift in mindset turned the focus inward and tapped into the wealth of internal knowledge within the playing group? CONQA Sport speaks with Paddy Upton and discovers that the solution to the problem is often right under your nose.
With less than a month to go before the world descends on Rio for the 27th Summer Olympic Games, thousands of athletes, coaches and sports practitioners are gearing up for the flagship sporting event of the year. The largest contingent will be representing the red, white and blue of the United States of America and such a big team comes with a host of big challenges. Finbarr Kirwan is a High Performance Director at the United States Olympics Committee (USOC) heading up two of the largest teams at the Games: track and field and swimming. He walks us through some of the obstacles he faces and divulges how he and his team are plotting for gold.
Elite sport practitioners are constantly placed under immense pressure, and in the heat of the moment, tempers flare and harsh words are exchanged. Fortunately, the consequences of irrational actions are never life threatening. Not so for the FBI's Crisis Negotiation Unit, where one misspoken word can result in untold misery and death. Gary Noesner spent 30 years with the FBI, ten of which he was the Chief Negotiator, handling delicate and dangerous situations every day. His unique insight could help athletes and coaches remain calm under pressure while others descend into chaos.

Good for you.
I didn't see a lot of animating, but, as I have said in the past, other things have made up for that. Usually graphics or sound will, but..... not in this case ;). The graphics helped a lot, though they were two guys with different color shirts.... oh and the eye poking..... and ummmmm the pictures.
But the best thing about this movie is its author's ability to come up with such a hilarious text script that needs very little animation or graphics. I am impressed. Bravo!
Btw, were those noses, or mouths with large over bites XD
Bravo is a sucky channel.

Travelling the world on string
Relevant offers
Kapiti Observer
When Anna Bailey left Kapiti College, she went to Europe as an au pair and returned a puppeteer.
She has travelled the world, performing in some of the biggest puppet festivals in France, Poland and China.
On her latest trip, she attended the UNIMA congress and World Puppetry Festival in Chengdu, China, featuring about 70 puppeteer companies.
She also performed in festivals in England, Hungary, Belgium, Spain, Bulgaria and Italy.
"We've got a puppetry scene [in New Zealand] but it's very small compared to overseas," Bailey said.
"[They have] lots of puppeteers, lots of street puppeteers, lots of puppet festivals and lots of shows that tour theatres and tour schools."
There are also many types of puppets, although Bailey prefers string and glove puppets.
She learnt to make and move her first marionette puppet from Chilean puppeteer Sergio Barrios, while staying in an Italian theatre in 2009.
"I went as an au pair in Italy and while I was there I went with those kids. . . to see a puppet show. It was the first puppet show I ever saw and it was really amazing."
As Bailey was leaving the theatre, she told puppet master Damiano Privitera how much she enjoyed the show and would love to see more. But the show was the last for that season, and Bailey was due to leave Italy in three weeks.
"They said 'well you can come and live with us', and so I said 'OK' and I slept in the room above the theatre."
Bailey spent eight months with the family, helping with the regular weekly programme and travelled with the group to the International Puppetry Festival, Festival Mondial des Theatres de Marionnettes in Charleville, Mezieres.
In return she sewed curtains and costumes, cleaned and looked after the puppeteers' children.
She also had unlimited access to the library of texts about puppet theatre and after hours access to the puppets.
After eight months she came back to New Zealand, but was still hooked on puppets, so returned to Europe last year to busk in the Festival Mondial des Theatres de Marionnettes.
There she met puppeteers who travel to puppet festivals and busk each summer, and decided she would do the same. The last six months she has travelled to nine different countries throughout China and Europe.
Arriving home last week, she plans to busk and perform in Kapiti this summer, to raise money to attend puppetry festivals in Thailand, Turkey and Korea in January and March.

"With the help of PricewaterhouseCoopers, we've been looking not just at what happened over the past two years, but at what would have happened if we had been selecting 10 nominees for the past 10 years," explained Academy President Tom Sherak, who noted that it was retiring Academy Executive Director Bruce Davis who recommended the change, first to Sherak and incoming CEO Dawn Hudson and then to the governors.
During the period studied, the average percentage of first place votes received by the top vote-getting movie was 20.5. After much analysis by Academy officials, it was determined that 5 percent of first place votes should be the minimum in order to receive a nomination, resulting in a slate of anywhere from 5 to 10 movies.
"In studying the data, what stood out was that Academy members had regularly shown a strong admiration for more than five movies," said Davis. "A Best Picture nomination should be an indication of extraordinary merit. If there are only eight pictures that truly earn that honor in a given year, we shouldn't feel an obligation to round out the number."
If this system had been in effect from 2001 to 2008 (before the expansion to a slate of 10), there would have been years that yielded 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 nominees.
The final round of voting for Best Picture will continue to employ the preferential system, regardless of the number of nominees, to ensure that the winning picture has the endorsement of more than half of the voters.
Other rules changes approved by the Board include:
In the Animated Feature Film category, the need for the Board to vote to "activate" the category each year was eliminated, though a minimum number of eligible releases - eight - is still required for a competitive category. Additionally, the Short Films and Feature Animation branch recommended, and the Board approved, refinements to the number of possible nominees in the Animated Feature category. In any year in which 8 to 12 animated features are released, either 2 or 3 of them may be nominated. When 13 to 15 films are released, a maximum of 4 may be nominated, and when 16 or more animated features are released, a maximum of 5 may be nominated.
In the Visual Effects category, the "bakeoff" at which the nominees are determined will expand from 7 to 10 contenders. The increase in the number of participants is related to a change made last year in which the number of films nominated in the Vsual Effects category was increased from 3 to 5.
Previously, the Board approved changes to the Documentary Feature and Documentary Short category rules that now put those categories' eligibility periods in line with the calendar year, and thus with most other awards categories. The change means that for the 84th Academy Awards cycle only, the eligibility period is more than 12 months; it is from September 1, 2010, to December 31, 2011.
Other modifications of the 84th Academy Awards rules include normal date changes and minor "housekeeping" changes.
Rules are reviewed annually by individual branch and category committees. The Awards Rules Committee then reviews all proposed changes before presenting its recommendations to the Academy's Board of Governors for approval.
The 84th Academy Awards nominations will be announced live on Tuesday, January 24, 2012, at 5:30 a.m. PT in the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theater.
Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2011 will be presented on Sunday, February 26, 2012, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center, and televised live by the ABC Television Network. The Oscar presentation also will be televised live in more than 200 countries worldwide.

Leading atheist blogger stabbed in street
Fundamentalists blamed for vicious attack on anti-Islam critic
January 15, 2013
A self-styled "militant atheist" who is famed for his anti-religious blogs was fighting for life Tuesday after he was stabbed in the capital of Muslim-majority Bangladesh, police and medics said.
Asif Mohiuddin, 29, was attacked on Monday night by three unidentified men near his office in Dhaka's upscale Uttara district.
"We operated on him for more than three hours. He is improving but still not out of danger. He has six deep cuts including two grave ones in the shoulder," said Haridas Saha, a surgeon at Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
"The nature of the cuts proved that the attackers wanted to murder him," Saha said, adding that friends of Mohiuddin who were with him at the time of the attack blamed Islamic "fundamentalists".
Local police chief Rezaul Islam confirmed the attack but did not comment on the motive.
"The attackers were lurking near his office. He was attacked as he was about to enter the office. Passers-by rushed him to a hospital," Islam told reporters, adding police were investigating the motive.
Mohiuddin's blog http://www.somewhereinblog.net/blog/realAsifM has been one of the most visited webpages in Bangladesh and is known for its tirade against religions in one of the most conservative parts of the world.
His blog's title page called the god "Almighty only in name but impotent in reality".
In July last year, he ridiculed Muslims and the Qu'ran in a satirical piece on "the mass conversion of supermen to Islam". Ninety percent of Bangladesh's 153 million people are Muslims and Islam is the state religion.
Several other prominent Bangladeshi writers have also been attacked in recent years for their stand against Islam and Islamic groups.
Humayun Azad, a poet, novelist and literature professor, was attacked by members of an outlawed Islamic militant group for a satirical novel against fundamentalist groups in 2004. He later died in Germany. AFP

Rainbow Doritos A Gay Gateway Drug
The announcement yesterday that Doritos will soon release rainbow-colored chips to support the It Gets Better Project, which works towards preventing anti-LGBT bullying, naturally drew the ire of conservative pundits like John Nolte of Breitbart, who said that Doritos is flying the "colors of anti-Christian hate and oppression."
But Nolte's protests pale in comparison to a column in the right-wing American Thinker by Ed Straker, which could be confused for parody.
Straker writes that the new chips are "the perfect gateway snack to introduce children to the joys of homosexuality," lamenting that nowadays "it's perceived to be cool to push a specific sexual orientation on children."
Calling for a boycott of Doritos and all products from its parent company, Pepsi, Straker urges conservatives to "push other companies to launch pro-heterosexual campaigns" by, for example, persuading "a hot dog maker and a hot dog bun company to do a joint effort promoting man-woman relationships."
PepsiCo, who make Doritos (through subsidiary Frito-Lay), are producing a homosexual version of Doritos called "Rainbow Doritos." Doritos are a product marketed to children, so they make the perfect gateway snack to introduce children to the joys of homosexuality.
What business does PepsiCo have pushing homosexuality on our kids? This is how far our culture has shifted; it's perceived to be cool to push a specific sexual orientation on children, even by companies that produce products that have nothing to do with sex. What's next – gay toilet paper and tampons?
I think we need to boycott Pepsi and all related Frito-Lay products to deliver a message to Pepsi that if they are going to push gay propaganda on our kids, we are not going to give their products lip service any longer.
Furthermore, I think we should push other companies to launch pro-heterosexual campaigns. Perhaps we could persuade a hot dog maker and a hot dog bun company to do a joint effort promoting man-woman relationships.

Methadone Can Kill Even at Therapeutic Levels
There are 21 comments on the About.com story from Jan 14, 2008, titled Methadone Can Kill Even at Therapeutic Levels. In it, About.com reports that:
"The unexpectedly high proportion of otherwise unexplained sudden deaths in the therapeutic methadone group points to a significant contribution of this drug toward the occurrence of sudden cardiac death among these patients"
Methadone, a drug used primarily for drug addiction withdrawal and chronic pain relief, can cause sudden cardiac death even when it is not overdosed, but is taken at normal therapeutic levels. via About.com

The makers of the drug have know changed the drugs description and use. I saved the old ones and my last new one. I will not use this drug for pain control again. Once again we trust these Companies and are their testing grounds. The law suits will fly as we find out more information on the new published warnings that I did not know. I wonder why they withhold information that is vital for making a decison. MONEY
#2 Jan 15, 2008
Can you please be more specific?
What are you talking about when you say that they have hidden anything from us?? The study was published in the January 2008 issue of The American Journal of Medicine. They just came out with it!
And what are you also talking about when you said that they changed the description and use??
Please specify.

Can somebody please tell me why I am just sitting there sometimes and it is like my brain just goes to sleep really quick and I jerk. It's not the same as nodding off, I do plenty of that, it is different. Does anybody know what I am talking about and what the heck is this? It can't be a good thing. I have been on methadone for 3 years. I am now at 90 mg a day. I am tired of being hot most of the time and I have gained so much weight!! Why? I really don't eat that much!Do they put something in methadone that makes you gain weight? Anybody have any answers for me, please?????????
United States
#4 Jan 23, 2008
Don't increase your dose, it is too high if you are nodding already.
#5 Jan 24, 2008
Wendy that happened to me before I started having full blown seizures. I would not recommend anything about changing your dose at this time, I would seek out a neurologist as soon as possible. Let him know you are on methadone,so he doesn't give you anti seizure medication which will cause an even worse reaction, mine was able to give me small doses of klonpin just for the seizures, and recommended I get off the methadone as soon as possible. Weight gain is a side effect of methadone.
#6 Jan 24, 2008
Let's face it Rel, it was never meant to be a pain medication, that was the drug companies idea to sell it to more than just drug addicts. It may alter your perception of pain, but it certainly doesn't treat it.

Alabama. Investigates Methadone Treatment Clinic
Following the death of a 24-year-old University of Montevallo student from methadone, Alabama authorities have asked for an investigation into the clinic providing the treatment, the Mobile Register reported Aug. 13.
Last fall, Richard Mitchell Shrum died from methadone intoxication just three days after starting his methadone treatment for his addiction to narcotic painkillers.
His death had led the Alabama state Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation, which oversees addiction-treatment clinics in Alabama, to begin an inquiry into the Gulf Coast Treatment Center Inc. Alabama health officials said they received several other complaints about the methadone clinic.
In addition, the Alabama state Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation has asked the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to assist in the review.
"It's more of an examination than an investigation," said John Ziegler, spokesman for the mental health department. "Our internal investigative unit is not involved."
Addiction experts in Alabama said the probe is long overdue. Calling the system poorly regulated, addiction experts said the treatment network puts people in for-profit clinics that provide methadone without properly screening the clients for other dangerous drugs.
"These methadone clinics are all about profit," said Dr. Christopher Jenkins, a psychiatrist who operates Recovery Medical of Mobile, Alabama.
Alabama state officials said the probe could be expanded to include other deaths related to methadone clinics throughout the state of Alabama.
"We are receiving an increasing number of complaints regarding the amount of methadone that is available on the streets, consumer complaints about take-home restrictions, pain management clinics, applications for new clinics, and numerous deaths reportedly related to overdose of methadone," said Kathy Sawyer, Alabama mental health department commissioner.

Vini, Is this article new and if so where can i find it? Would like to talk with someone at at SAMHSA about this one. Just let me know where to find it but dont put the link here or topix will delete it. Thanks, Mary Haynes
#9 Jan 24, 2008
It Doesn't surprise me 1 bit this came from Alabama, My sister in law works for the ASMMR which oversees our clinics, these things are not going to change much. As my sister in law said , they may inspect the clinics, slap their hand, come back for a follow up and keep on going. This has given this poor state a lot of revenue off the backs of drug addicts who most people could care less about. The real crime is this stuff will continue to flood the streets until enough deaths occur before there will be any change in the law. Great research Vini. What a damn shame.
#10 Jan 24, 2008
In addition, the methadone clinics here start everyone at the same dose, 35mg. a little high for someone who might think they have a little drug problem with lortab or someone just wanting a kick. Well 35 mg knocked this 180lb man on his ass, and had it none been for my wife, I most certainly gone into respiratory arrest my first night. I had little experience using pain medication, then you may up your dose every day for the first 30 days. Is it that way in other states? then it's pretty much whenever you, your counselor, or the medical director wants to bump you up. My medical director always said, don't listen to everyone else keep your dose up. Thanks a lot Doc

#13 Feb 20, 2008
I'm not a mother, but I am a dad, and there are a lot of mothers on here, I know its not the same but you can talk to me or anyone else you want to anytime. I missed out on a lot when I got on methadone 4 years ago. I have 2 grown boys and a 9 year old, and now that I'm not on methadone we have a beautiful relationship, we just had a nice walk together and talked about his day, I couldn't do that a month ago, and now I have found true happiness with my children. They are our gifts, as you are a gift.

Richard Mitchell Died, I say at the hands of others. Three days after he passed the tox report came back to the clinic that he had no narcotics in his system. Had they waited they would have never started him on the meds. He was 24 years old and wanted to get a degree in counseling for the deaf. Also, he wanted to move to Canada where people like him were not viewed as criminals. When the clinic was approached to make a comment, they referred to him as,'one of those people'. Like he did not matter because he did drugs. Yes he did, and he was a drug abuser to the full extent of the meaning, but he was a still a person who was trying to get clean. Had they asked him if he was having issues with staying awake, they would have realized he was being overdosed, & they would have stopped. Bottom line, the clinics are about money. When the medical team looks down on the person they are helping, it makes for insanity

The March on Washington and Its Impact – Lesson Plan
Students will read Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech and explore themes such as the social conditions in the U.S. that led to the Civil Rights Movement, King's philosophy and practice of peaceful resistance, the immediate impact of the March on society at the time and the long-term significance of the March.
One 50-minute class period, plus extended activities
On August 28, 1963, more than 200,000 people gathered in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. as part of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. The March sought to address the conditions under which most black Americans were living at the time and to facilitate "meaningful civil rights laws, a massive federal works program, full and fair employment, decent housing, the right to vote, and adequate integrated education." (From the National Office of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.)
It was before this gathering that the day's most prominent speaker, civil-rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech, considered one of the landmark pieces of rhetoric in American history.
The event itself was organized by a coalition of civil rights organizations, religious institutions and labor unions, including the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People), the National Urban League, the National Council of Churches, and the UAW (United Auto Workers).
In addition, popular artists such as Marian Anderson, Bob Dylan and Joan Baez performed for the gathering.
However, various influential organizations and individuals opposed the March. Besides the expected, such as southern segregationists and members of the Ku Klux Klan, the black-separatist group Nation of Islam and its outspoken member, Malcolm X, adamantly disagreed with the peaceful intentions of the event.
President John F. Kennedy was initially opposed to the March as well, but not because of its ambitions. Kennedy was concerned that the event might exacerbate already heightened racial tensions across the country and perhaps erode the public support for the civil rights movement at large.
Nonetheless, the March on Washington proved to be an extraordinary success. It not only functioned as a plea for equality and justice; it also helped pave the way for both the ratification of the Twenty Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (outlawing the poll tax, a tax levied on individuals as a requirement for voting) and the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (desegregating public institutions and outlawing employment discrimination).
- Begin by supplying foundation material for the students via the NewsHour Extra article and the background explanation above.
- Have the students carefully read the entire speech either in small groups or individually. (You can additionally listen to the speech as a class)
- Ask the students to respond to the following questions:
- What famous address by a U.S. president influenced "I Have a Dream"? (Answer: Lincoln's Gettysburg Address). What specific supporting examples from that address resonate in King's speech? (Answer: Among others, Lincoln begins with "Four score and seven years ago" and King with "Five score years"; Lincoln uses the term "hallow" in reference to the sanctity of the nation and its battlefields, and King refers to the place of the March as a "hallowed spot"; both speeches invoke the ideals of democracy in order to unify the public to a common cause.)
- As mentioned above, King's speech refers to the place of the March on Washington as a "hallowed," or sacred, spot. What historical event is King referring to, and in what ways does the march echo that event? (Answer: Most notably, the end of the Civil War and the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. The March, like the Emancipation Proclamation, aspired to eliminate specific injustices in society.)
- King also refers to the "promises of democracy" not being fulfilled in American society at the time. What would those promises be and in what ways were they not being fulfilled? (Answer: Among others, equality for all Americans regardless of sex, color, religion or creed. Of course, segregation laws as well as pervasive racism hindered the democratic ideal from being realized.)
- The speech alludes to the laws at the time that segregated blacks from whites, particularly in schools, busses, restaurants, lodging facilities and public restrooms. These policies were collectively known as "separate but equal" and were ultimately dismantled by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (see link above). What prevents "separate but equal" from being practiced fairly in society, and why must there be legislation to assure it is not practiced? On the other hand, could our society today practice such a policy fairly if it were what the majority of Americans wanted?
- An additional line from "I Have a Dream" states that, "we must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence." King was deeply committed to a philosophy of nonviolent protest. What renowned leaders from the past held a similar view? (Answer: Jesus Christ, Mohandas Gandhi, Henry David Thoreau, among others.)
- Malcolm X, unlike King, believed that violence was necessary to facilitate change in the prejudicial policies of society. When, if ever, do you see violence as necessary to correct injustices?
- Discuss the responses as a class.
Extension Activity
The March on Washington has inspired a great number of subsequent protests, such as the Million Man March and the Million Mom March. As a larger activity, have your students plan a new march (either as a class or in small groups) that would appeal to correct an existing injustice in society. Questions to guide the planning may include:
- What is the specific nature of the injustice? (Cultural racism, institutional sexism, governmental policies aimed at minors, environmental destruction, etc.)
- To whom would you be appealing for change? (Congress, the White House, the general population, etc.)
- What are your specific demands, and how should they be addressed? (Reform of existing laws, monetary compensation, acknowledgment of the problem, etc.)
- Who would speak at your march and why? (Certain entertainers, politicians, activists, etc.)
- How would you communicate the message of your march? (Internet, mailings, grassroots campaigns, radio, etc.)
- What groups do you think might counter-protest your march?
- What other obstacles do you foresee in both the process of planning as well as the march itself?
