How about we shoot ourselves in the other foot?
This from Politico: "Anti-abortion groups are poised to launch a multimillion-dollar offensive against a collection of former allies House Democrats who also oppose abortion in an effort to discredit their credibility with anti-abortion voters and oust them from office.Four separate campaigns are in the works, aimed at anti-abortion House Democrats who voted for the health care bill and designed around the notion that those Democrats signed on to legislation that lacked restrictions ensuring that federal funds would not be spent to provide coverage for abortions.Some of the targeted members largely, though not exclusively, vulnerable and junior Democrats voted for the bill after Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) cut a deal with the White House that President Barack Obama would sign an executive order ensuring that the bill would not provide such funding. Read more: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0410/36173.html#ixzz0lqKZMcNrActually if you add up the amounts mentioned in the story multi-million dollars seems a stretch. Now that the Democrats have gotten the news that they have pro-life politicians in their midst and pro-life voters, it would be nice if the DNC and the rest of us came to the rescue of some of these folks. My particular favorite, not mentioned in the story, is Tom Perriello (VA-5th District)

It seems to me that it makes a tremendous difference whether Pelosi had the votes to pass the bill without Stupak and the others (which is what Stupak claims) or Stupak "caved." I believe Stupak, but the pro-lifers seem to entirely ignore the issue of what actually happened. The only explanation, it seems to me, is that this is about partisan politics and not about advancing the pro-life cause.
This seems a very odd strategy for the pro-life movement to pursue. I agree with D. Nickol that this would open them up to criticism that they are not genuinely about life issues but instead are pursuing a partisan political agenda. But I'm missing the upside of the strategy; why exactly would they pursue it? It's never a good idea to splinter your base.
This would not be a situation of splintering the base if they thought that they could get a more "reliable" person elected for a variety of "pro-life" issues. An anti-abortion Democrat may be perceived as someone who could not be counted on for strong abortion restriction legislation, or on legislation related to issues like contraception, conscience, ....and, and (I'm trying to think of another con-); well, you get my point.Of course, if this effort is at all successful, it will likely make it even harder to be an anti-abortion Democrat in the future.
related to issues like contraception, conscience, .and, and (Im trying to think of another con-); Condoleezza Rice?
It's about time that legitimate pro-lifers create a litmus test for the use of the term.Being anti-abortion is a FAR CRY from being pro-life. And waving rosary beads at protests doesn't make it any more legitimate.
According to the very reliable Kurt over on Vox Nova, there was a Democrat interested in running for the Massachusetts Senate seat now occupied by Scott Brown, and he gave up when Massachusetts for Life (MFL) made it clear they were not interested in backing him. Instead, MFL strongly supported Brown, who is of course pro-choice, because they wanted to defeat the health-care-reform bill.
I'll eat my hat if the Republicans aren't supplying most of the money for this campaign to defeat those Democrats.I've long thought that the three most destructive aspects of our political system are gerrymandering, the corporations-are-persons law and the fact that anyone and any organization can contribute money to any candidate in any state. So long as "foreign" money is allowed in a state, the clout of individual voters in that state is diluted. It ought to be illegal to contribute across state lines. I don't know how that could be enforced, but without such a law the rich rule this country. We have an oligarchy, folks, not a real democracy.
It's amazing that pro-lifer/partisans can back life flip floppers like Reagan, BushI, Romney, [and if you believe McCain in his heart is really pro-life I have a GG bridge for sale.] yet they target real pro-life Dems.. you can fool a lot of people all the time.
Thank God we have some genuine right to life posters here ,e.g. Bill Colier.Often it sems that many comingle religion and pro GOP politics too closely.Ther e is no doubt that they weaken the Gospel message of life for the sake of their own ideology, bu tcannot be forthcoming about it.
The only way to prohibit the use of federal funds for abortions would have been to prohibit any Government-sponsored insurance plan from providing elective abortion coverage. The purpose of the Government sponsored Health Care Plan was to "cut costs" so that Health Care would become affordable. By including elective abortion in this Government sponsored insurance plan, through the use of Government funding, insurance plans now exist that will cut the costs of elective abortion, making elective abortion more affordable.The fact is, elective abortion is not Health Care. We all know one can not be preserving Human Life while destroying Human Life, simultaneously.
Nancy Danielson: Off-topic as usual; and wrong to boot.
I hope some investigative reporter outlines where the money for al this is coming from.
That being said, this certainly doesn't help the Pro-Life position:http://spectator.org/blog/2010/03/27/fr-hesburgh-and-joe-donnellysIn the spirit of full disclosure, I know Joe Donnelly to be a Good and decent Person, who would be the type of Person I would vote for to be President some day. I know Father Hesburgh has contributed much that is Good for the Church. Here is where they are mistaken.From The Beginning, The Truth of Love is The Truth for all Human Individuals, not just Catholics.From From the Beginning, God created every Human Individual equal, not just Catholics. From the beginning of the creation of this Health Care Plan, it was always possible to preserve the Life of every Human individual, including those Human Individuals residing within their Mother's Womb.
Nancy; there was no public option [government sponsored health plan] ;it was in all the newspapers!
This is to be expected; one of the problems that we have acquired in modern times is the inability to understand practical reason and how it leads to a plurality of possible positions based upon the same principle. Today, people think that the principle and the practical application are the same thing. In my mind, I think modern day "apologetics" (not all apologists, and not classical apologetics) is in part to blame. This kind of apologetics suggests a simple, unified vision of truth, and it is often practiced by former Protestants turned Catholic who have not yet grasped the diversity in unity of Catholicism. Other Protestants and poorly catechized Catholics turn to them, and end up seeing truth is a simple, unpluralistic proposition which we can affirm or not affirm. With this mental disposition, they turn towards politics, and unite things which should not be united as a means to create a "pro-life" position which does not allow for different practical applications of the Gospel of Life.
"Nancy; there was no public option [government sponsored health plan] ;it was in all the newspapers!"Not completely true. It was also in the fundraising materials sent out by the GOP. Think FOCA 2, in the spirit of Hollywood sequels.
True, there is no public option as in,[government runned health plan] but while our Government will not be assuming full responsibility for running Health Care, they, obviously, will be providing funds for various provisions in this Health Care Bill, such as the Community Centers and the Health Exchanges. I should have clarified, from the beginning, the definition I was using for the word sponsored. I meant sponsored,[financing a project] NOT sponsored[assuming responsibility].
I also think this is not a bright move by these particular pro-life organizations. But regarding motives: you don't need to be a conspiracy buff. The fact is, despite the apparent consensus on dotCom, the healthcare reform bill is widely perceived by pro-life activists as a pro-life setback. So from their point of view, it makes sense that they should work to punish those who enabled it.Ann, can you describe your hat? :-)
Nobody wants to talk about the shameful record of the NRLC on abortion and healthcare. So eager was it to bed Republicans that it signed off on the weakest pro-life protections ever when it came to funding the Medicare Advantage program (a program that sends federal subsidies to private insurance companies to provide health insurance under the Medicare program). The protections that none of this money would be used to fund abortion? None whatsoever. To this day, Medicare Advantage offers "elective abortion" while receiving taxpayer money (for sure, the demographics of Medicare is such that abortion is not really an issue, but we must remember that a sizeable chunk of Medicares goes to people on disability). I keep brining up this example to show that the National Right to Life Commitee is partisan, hypocritical, and bankrupt. The biggest mistake the bishops made during the healthcare debate was listening to these people.
I don't recall who said this:We as communities should be willing to offer such generous ransoms to pregnant unwed mothers, that only the hard hearted of them would refuse.So why are anti-abortionists willing to spend so much money defaming instead of ministering to those women between a rock and a hard place?Some pro-life groups do minister to women who are often both pregnant and battered. All of us Catholics are called to help these ministries in every way, including our "stored up labor" (money). These have the credibility to be named pro-life activists - who love and dialog with those politicians who voted for health care for everyone.
I live in the Diocese of Lansing (Mich.), and as a member of a parish in the diocese, Raber gets Faith Magazine, a publication I enjoy loathing on many levels, from the amount of money I expect it costs (high-gloss, heavy weight paper, four color on every page) to shallow-to-the-point-of-inanity of the writing.However, the thing is wildly popular, and it's a big opinion maker, so I followed with interest the coverage about the health care bill, which seemed to be fairly even-handed. The link to the Web site coverage is somewhat different from the print piece. If anything including the statistics on Michigan's uninsured, which continues to rise, seems to urge more action.My beef with the print piece is that it claims that the claim that the bill would increase the number of abortions, a claim I don't think has been adequately substantiated, and which strikes me as a swipe (intentional or not) at Stupak.The online story is here http://www.faithmag.com/faithmag/column2.asp?ArticleID=1125In this same issue Bishop Boyea wrote a column about the leadership role of the bishops with specific reference to the CHA. Bolded in the online version of the piece is this:"Whoever is not with the bishop is not in the Church. You must understand that it is to no avail that people may beguile themselves with the illusion that whilst they are not at peace with the bishops of God, they may still worm their way in and surreptitiously hold communion with certain people. (Unity of the Church 66:8:3)"
Jim P. --I wouldn't doubt that the radical pro=lifers would seek to defeat certain Democrats. They've been irrational before. My point concerned where the apparently mammoth amount of money is coming from. The most likely source is the group with mammoth amounts of money -- corporate Republicans who want the extra Republican votes so they can scuttle Obama's financial reform plans.
"The only explanation, it seems to me, is that this is about partisan politics and not about advancing the pro-life cause."That would not explain why Pro-Lifers have had nothing but lauds for Mr. Dan Lipinski, a Pro-Life Representative from Illinois's 3rd District. What confuses me about Pro-Life support for Rep. Lipinski in light of your statement is that the Representative is a member of the Democratic Party.
Jean, that is an incredible statement: Whoever is not with the bishop is not in the Church. You must understand that it is to no avail that people may beguile themselves with the illusion that whilst they are not at peace with the bishops of God, they may still worm their way in and surreptitiously hold communion with certain people. (Unity of the Church 66:8:3)The rhetoric alone! And what of the theology? "Worm their way"? "Certain people"? "the bishops of God"? Who be they? I feel I am in a Flash Gordon movie with the Clay People trying to speak?
Jean: suggest to whoever around you takes this seriously but does not like your local bishop that they can instead adopt the bishop of Metuchen as their leader in the church hierarchy. http://www.diometuchen.org/
OMG, Margaret, the Clay People! I loved Queen Azura who was in cahoots with Ming the Merciless! My brother and I used to watch this as teenagers on one of the sci fi late shows and laugh our heads off.Do you know where that quote is from ("The Unity of the Church"?). It's not (though 895-6 from the CCC give a more tempered outline of the bishop's authority). I do think the passage is interesting in that it first refers to "the bishop" (singular) and then to ("the bishops") collectively.In my view, that's the trouble with the quote. It has always been my understanding that where you disagree with the bishops (all of 'em), you better rethink your position. However, where you disagree with the policies or conclusions of a single bishop with whom other bishops may differ, well, there's your gray area.And while I'm griping about Faith Mag under the leadership of our relatively new Bishop, here's the front page poll, which is about health care. Worded to ensure the answer the diocese wants to hear:The legislature has passed health care reform. What do you think of it? a) I am all in favor of it - it's about time.b) If it weren't for the potential issues with abortion funding, I would be in favor, but I can't support its current form. c) The government should stay out of health care - let's leave things the way they are. d) I don't know enough about it to have an opinion. Answer a) and you don't care about abortion. Answer c) and you're heartless. Answer d) and you're a moron. Hence ...
The statement of Jean's bishop is one reason why I have a problem with the idea of collective penance discussed on another thread. On the one hand, our religious leaders (at least the most public ones), often act as if Catholics should accept without question everything the bishops say. Vote no to health care reform, challenge gay marriage, etc, etc. Folks who believe differently are often told they are bad "Catholics". On the other hand, these bishops, who seem to have no tolerance at all for dissent, expect us to do penance and share in the collective guilt for their actions? I don't understand how they can insist on total obedience on the one hand and expect us to share the guilt on the other.
Sorry to go off topic on the previous post.
Ooops, should be "It's not FROM THE CCC" (thinking about Queen Azura ...)
"I wouldnt doubt that the radical pro=lifers would seek to defeat certain Democrats. Theyve been irrational before. My point concerned where the apparently mammoth amount of money is coming from. The most likely source is the group with mammoth amounts of money corporate Republicans who want the extra Republican votes so they can scuttle Obamas financial reform plans."I dunno. "Radical" is in the eye of the beholder. There is nothing radical about being pro-life nor about seeking to defeat Democrats. Nor is there anything particularly irrational about seeking to defeat officeholders who do things you oppose. All of this happens all the time - it's all politics as usual. I wouldn't characterize these amounts of money as "mammoth". In today's political world, it's relatively peanuts. I'm familiar with one or two of these groups, and can attest that they do raise funds and engage in political activity apart from any bankrolling by the Republican Party. The rules for party spending confuse me, so I don't know if a party would be allowed to funnel money through a third party organization. I just think the simplest explanation is these groups raised funds and have decided to spend them in the pursuit of their self-interest.

Hi, is there a way to show individual answers instead of aggregated result if they choose "Other" answer?
Let's say I have 3 people added 3 different "Other" answers, how can I show them on the poll and allow other people to vote on them, instead of showing 3 total votes for other answer http://screencast.com/t/In4TnGoUr
In other words how can I allow people add their own questions/opinions to the poll so everybody can vote on them?
Thank you,

The Relationship of the Learning Styles of High School Teachers and Computer Use in the Classroom
Date: August 2005
Creator: Hunnicutt, Robert Lane
Description: This study sought to determine if the dominant learning styles of high school teachers is related to the amount of time computers are used in the classroom by students. It also examined the types of software used by those teachers, and their levels of technology adoption. Subjects (N=177) were from high schools in a large urban school district. Instrumentation included the Gregorc Style Delineator, a modified version of the Snapshot Survey and the Stages of Adoption of Technology. An ANOVA showed no statistical significance between teachers with different dominant learning styles in the numbers of minutes per week that computers were utilized in their classrooms with students. A chi square test showed no statistical significance in the types of software used in the classrooms of teachers with different dominant learning styles. A chi square test showed no statistical significance in the Stages of Technology Adoption of teachers with different dominant learning styles.

Enhanced learning performance in the middle school classroom through increased student motivation, by the use of educational software and question-based gaming technology.
Date: December 2006
Creator: Dorr, David L.
Description: The purpose of this research was to determine if the introduction of a competitive and collaborative computer-based gaming software system into middle school classrooms would result in improved attendance and grades, and motivate students to have a greater interest in their studies. This study was conducted over a 6 week period, with attendance and performance data being collected from 284 students. Two quantitative surveys were used to measure course interest and motivation: (a) the Course Interest Survey (CIS), and (b) the Instructional Materials Motivation Survey (IMMS). Participation in these surveys consisted of 84 students taking the CIS and 40 students taking the IMMS. The results indicated that the experimental group showed statistically better scores than the comparison group in attendance and performance. Students participating in the experimental group had significantly lower mean ranks of absenteeism compared to students in the comparison group. Results also revealed significant differences on grades. Students that were in the experimental group had significantly higher grades compared to students that were in the comparison group. Results of the CIS suggest that a statistically significant difference does not exist on Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction between the experimental and comparison groups. Results of the means and standard ...

A Qualitative Research Study of How Extended Field Experience Prepares Special Education Teachers of Students with Emotional and Behavioral Disorders
Date: May 2005
Creator: Wang, Hsin-Yi
Description: A well-prepared and qualified special education teacher is crucial to the performance of students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD). The prominent educators and federal government encourage the use of extended field experiences in preparing qualified special education teachers. The study examined the strengths and weaknesses of extended field experience in terms of the perceptions of the prospective teachers and teachers of students with EBD. Both individual interviews and a focus group were used to collect data. The results revealed that extended field experience benefits prospective teachers in showing the reality of the teachers' world, self-motivation assessment, and professional development. However, there were some improvements that could be made, including more placement selections and more practical knowledge.

Nontraditional Students in Community Colleges and the Model of College Outcomes for Adults
Date: December 2005
Creator: Philibert, Nanette
Description: The purpose of this study was to examine three components of Donaldson and Graham's (1999) model of college outcomes for adults: (a) Prior Experience & Personal Biographies, (b) the Connecting Classroom, and (c) Life-World Environment, and to assess their application to traditional and nontraditional students in community colleges in both technical and nontechnical courses. The study sample was comprised of 311 community college students enrolled in technical and nontechnical courses during fall 2005. A survey instrument was developed based on the three model components through a review of the literature. Demographic data collected were utilized to classify students into a technical or nontechnical grouping as well as four classifications of traditionalism: (a) traditional, (b) minimally nontraditional, (c) moderately nontraditional, and (d) highly traditional. This study found that nontraditional students vary from traditional students in regards to the three model constructs. A post hoc descriptive discriminate analysis determined that the Life-World Environment component contributed the most to group differences with the minimally nontraditional group scoring the highest on this construct.

Impact of Training on the Information Technology Attitudes of University Faculty
Date: August 1998
Creator: Gilmore, Elizabeth L. (Elizabeth Lee)
Description: The purpose of this study was to determine whether training had an impact on the information technology attitudes of university faculty. The study was twofold. First, it sought to determine whether training changed attitudes toward information technology among faculty at a small, liberal arts university. Secondly, a group of faculty at a similar university was used to compare the differences in attitudes toward information technology among faculty who had received training and those who had not. The research population consisted of 218 faculty from these two universities. The literature review focused on obstacles to information technology use by faculty, instruments currently available for measuring faculty attitude, methods used in training faculty to use information technology, and integration of information technology by faculty.

The Effect of Time on Training Retention Rates of United States Air Force Loadmaster Apprentice Students
Date: December 1998
Creator: Canada, Angela F. (Angela Faye)
Description: The purpose of this study was to determine if extended periods of time out of the training environment has an effect on the retention of training. The rationale for conducting this study was based on the fact that little research has been done in this area. The findings of the study indicated that extensive periods of time out of training do significantly influence the amount of training retained fromone loadmaster course to the other. Additionally, there was a significant relationship between the number of days out of training and the posttest scores. The optimum training break between courses appears to be between 10 and 20 days. Training retention is apparently affected by time.

Man, I am a magnet for that behavior. I must have a sign on my back that says come and get me. Problem is I'm probably one of the most stubborn people in the water and once challenged I rarely give up until I win or my session is ruined. I see my buddies just sit back and laugh at these kooks and I wish I could do that. I think the wise thing is to let these people do their thing and realize there are more important things in life than catching the next mush burger but it's so damn hard. My answer is to have zero tolerance for crowds. I mean if someone I don't know is within 100 feet of me it's too crowded and I move. Sometimes the only answer is confrontation although it's a soul killer when it comes to that.

\npaddle RIGHT behind them, give them priority BY JUST AN INCH, force them to commit to wave no. 1 of set,
\nstare at them, learn the head-fake, "fake" paddle around them, "accidentally" grab their leash.

Or you could just open your mouth and tell them that what they are doing is bothering you. Don't be passive aggressive. Tell them why you're mad bro
'; pd[230936] = '
\nActually it brings up a topic that has come up on here before...
\nwho has the priority on a wave... my feelings are whoever is on the inside gets the wave. but there are people who think the first guy that makes a paddling move for the wave gets it and I think that's what this guy thinks.
\nLuckily for me I'm bigger than most people who surf and I've got no problems getting into a paddle battle if needed.... its just such a stoke drainer to be in that environment when there is no reason for it.

\nagreed to a point, sometimes verbalizing makes it worse. passive aggressive is for chics, so just be full on aggressive with the paddling, not passively aggressive, but be prepared

back up, I wanna know more about this Fitzpedo...and does it come with a cup holder?
'; pd[230944] = '
\nI'll give it to you in a nutshell... I took some kid out that dropped in on me.... I yelled down the line I was going... he looked at me and just went anyway... ofcourse I caught up to him and we made contact. the great thing was that I had the video footage. so... the kid was 18 or 19 years old... possibly older. but by the time it had gone through pages and pages of debate the kid was now 6 years old and every parent on the site was talking about how they would kick ass if that was their kid.... it really spun out of control.... but I'm not sure who coined the name fitzpedo. lol.

People down here are very well behaved in the lineup. Been here 1.5 years and these are honestly better lineups than anywhere I surfed regularly in CA. The waves may not be epic, but everyone knows what they are doing. We all spread out. Its very rare that there is just one concentrated peak, but even if there is, everyone waits their turn. We have SUPs out in the lineup and they behave.
So, all in all, I am very happy with the condition of the lineups on HHI. Its really only locals that end up surfing where I do. Its not really a tourist beach, and all the tourists want to do is take pictures and ask you about surfing when you get out.
But as for all that aggression, I thought it was pretty much standard operating procedures in ANY lineup, that if you blow a wave more than 1-2 times, it is from that point forward an open invitation to get burned until you somehow prove otherwise that you can get waves...
Im not Mr. Agro in the lineup, but if you make me miss a wave twice, I am going from then on. I am very skilled at the pop-off move. I mean, if you legitimately get up, I will pop off the back by the time you are standing. But without even exchanging words, that individual will usually back off when they see you going. In their "summer-pro" mind, they just got burned, but at the end of the day, they will move away from you...
You can't just be out there blowing waves. Anywhere. I mean, even REAL pros let the average Joe get waves. All you have to do is show them you are committing and go, and until you start blowing it, they won't roll all up on you. You paddle too close to guys like that or try and get around them, you will usually have issues really quickly.

Wow what a bunch of crying. This is the pussification of surfing, folks. Everyone wait your turn and play nicely. We will be checking beach passes and parking vouchers today at 11am. Remember, no more tears is the official shampoo of noswellinfo.

Ya good thing it was a 4 hour sesh, the first half of which we didn't have to deal with much of it and got most of our day's rides. The kook karnival didn't arrive until the last hour or two. Those offshores were pumping hard today too. Some gusts in excess of 20mph. Makes 60s air temp not so balmy. Still, not cold in 4 hours. Life is good.

Source: Willful violators clause could apply at Miami
CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The NCAA informed University of Miami administrators it will consider invoking its "willful violators" clause and make an exception to the traditional four-year statute of limitations in the Nevin Shapiro case, a university source told Yahoo! Sports.
Traditionally, the NCAA's bylaws would only allow it to sanction the Hurricanes for infractions that occurred during the four years prior to receiving a letter of inquiry from investigators. For example, if Miami received a letter of inquiry for a case on Sept. 1, 2011, the NCAA could only sanction the school for applicable violations dating back to Sept. 1, 2007. But the clause – reserved for "a pattern of willful violations" – can spin a probe back to the earliest applicable infractions.
Applied to the Shapiro allegations, it means the NCAA could reach as far back to early 2002, when the booster said he began funneling benefits to Hurricanes players. And if the probe stretched back to 2002, it would overlap with Miami's two-year probationary period from the baseball program, which was leveled from February 2003 to February 2005. That could potentially tag the Hurricanes athletic program with a "repeat violator" label and make the school further susceptible to the NCAA's so-called death penalty.
[Y! Sports probe: Who is Nevin Shapiro?]
NCAA president Mark Emmert said that despite the penalty being used only once before in college football – against Southern Methodist University in 1987 – the association isn't shying away from such a drastic sanction.
"We need to make sure that we've got, for the committee on infractions, all the tools they need to create those kinds of deterrents," Emmert told USA Today. "If that includes the death penalty, I'm fine with that."
And while the likelihood of the death penalty remains questionable, the possibility of the willful violators clause is not welcome news for an already-embattled athletic department. Miami athletic director Shawn Eichorst released a statement Thursday assuring the school's commitment to "the integrity of the NCAA investigation" and "demanding the full cooperation of our employees and student-athletes."
"There are tough times ahead, challenges to overcome and serious decisions to be made, but we will be left standing and we will be stronger as a result," Eichorst said. "I understand there are unanswered questions, concerns and frustration by many but this athletic department will be defined now and in the future, by our core values, our integrity and our commitment to excellence, and by nothing else. The University of Miami, as an institution of higher learning, is a leader in exploration, achievement and excellence and we will work hard to do our part to live up to that standard."
[Photo gallery: Miami booster parties with athletes]
Shapiro is a Miami booster currently serving a 20-year federal prison term for operation a $930 million Ponzi scheme. He detailed to Yahoo! Sports a wide-ranging eight-year run of violations that include cash, gifts, prostitution, entertainment at nightclubs and strip clubs, parties at his mansion, yacht cruises and other benefits. Yahoo! Sports found at least seven coaches, three support staff members and 72 athletes with direct involvement or knowledge of infractions committed by the booster from 2002 to 2010.

Turkish Coal Miner Faces Future After Tragedy
A survivor of the Turkish coal mine disaster that killed more than 250 talks about the hours he spent trapped below ground. He's now afraid to return to mining, and wonders how he'll make a living.
The mining town of Soma in Western Turkey is reeling after Tuesday's mine explosion. At least 300 people have died there. The government's now winding down the recovery operation, but many townspeople fear more miners remain underground and believe officials are covering up the real number of the dead. The mine has been shut and survivors are asking how they can support their families with no jobs. NPR's Leila Fadel sat down with one of the miners and sent this report.
MURAT YOKUS: (Turkish spoken).
LEILA FADEL, BYLINE: Murat Yokus is a slight man with sad green eyes who meets us in his village near the mine. He's also one of more than 350 men who survived the worst mining disaster in Turkey's history. He sits with us in the small garden behind his family home where they grow vegetables. His toddler daughter runs behind him playing with three baby kittens, only stopping briefly to run and sit in her father's lap. She doesn't know she almost lost him.
YOKUS: (Turkish spoken).
FADEL: He recounts what happened.
YOKUS: (Turkish spoken).
FADEL: It was time for the shift change and Murat Yokus and 60 others were making their way out of the mine. But they saw billows of smoke. They didn't know what it was. They hadn't felt an explosion. But in one direction there was a fire and in another poisonous clouds of carbon monoxide gas. So they waited in a small area near the machinery room. And as men made their way up, it grew crowded with more than 140 people. Some men had working gas masks. Others did not. Yokus didn't wear his, not realizing how much poison gas was building up.
YOKUS: (Turkish spoken).
FADEL: But then, Yokus says, he knew he was going to die. He didn't panic. He rested his head against the wall as images of his family flashed in front of his mind's eye, his two-year-old daughter, his seven-year-old son, his wife, his parents. In front of him, men drifted in and out of consciousness. He would shake his friends and coworkers awake, trying to keep them alive. He says one man, an older man, died in front of his eyes. Some men went to the machinery room and pushed their noses against iron bars or chewed on them, thinking they could extract oxygen from the metal.
YOKUS: (Turkish spoken).
FADEL: Yokus doesn't remember how he got out. A coworker left the room to climb up and tell the rescuers where they were. He opened his eyes and he was on the ground outside.
YOKUS: (Turkish spoken).
FADEL: He saw his family waiting for him, watching him get loaded into the ambulance. It was 1 a.m., and he'd been in the mine for more than 10 hours.
YOKUS: (Turkish spoken).
FADEL: He says he can't imagine ever going back into an underground mine where he and others risked their lives for about $715 a month. His eyes began to water.
YOKUS: (Turkish spoken).
FADEL: He says, if the government could help, maybe I wouldn't have to go back. But if it doesn't help, then what choice do I have? He was four years away from being eligible for an early pension. Now he has nothing. His family will support him until he can figure out what to do, but they can't do it for long.
YOKUS: (Turkish spoken).
FADEL: And even if he did want to go back to work, how? This mine is destroyed, and he and his friends are out of a job. He refuses to talk about who he blames. Then he gets anxious. He doesn't want to talk anymore. Around him well-wishers wait to greet him.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: (Turkish spoken).
YOKUS: (Turkish spoken).
FADEL: We're glad you're alive. I'm OK, he tells them, hugging the visitors. Then he gets ready to leave for the cemetery to pray for his two dead friends. Across town, protesters flooded the center of Soma. They chanted against the ruling party who many blame for failing to keep the mine safe. Soma, don't sleep, they say. Remember your martyrs. Then the police wade into the crowds using tear gas, water cannons, and reportedly, rubber bullets to disperse them. Leila Fadel. NPR News.

Hi Everyone! This is My first attempt at a Multi Chapter story. Please go easy on me as im easily hurt by nasty comments, it doest just roll off my shoulders. This will really just be Full of Fluffiness and Cutness, as well as a little bit of drama in the middle. I have written 19 chapters but i have a feeling that after chapter 15 i will loose some people. SO if i keep getting good reviews and such, i will put up the rest. If it's not your thing dont read it. I'm a babies person, so i can guarantee that most of my stories will include some type of Baby-ness. I'm going to be a Midwife when im older so i know a bit about this stuff, but if i get it wrong...just send me a private message. :)
Well Without Further ado, i Give You the first Official Chapter of...You & Me + 1 makes 3! ENJOY
Love Clare.
We arrived here 3 weeks ago, and we had no plans to leave. Well I had no plans to leave, Edward on the other hand wanted to get back before college started- but if I had it my way I wouldn't be going to college. I was having the best time doing absolutely nothing. We swam when we wanted to. We –or should I say I- ate when we wanted to. Slept in for as long as I wanted. This place was like heaven, of course what's heaven without god? Oh wait I already have him. I slowly got out of bed and was hit with a wave of vertigo. Once it passed I walked out to meet Edward how was cooking in the kitchen.
"Bella, I'm making your breakfast love. What would you like with your Eggs?" he asked flashing me that crooked smile I love. I stared at his beautifully sculpted chest, and sighed happily. He was all mine.
"Bella?" he asked laughing slightly.
"Sorry What?" I laughed walking up to hug him around the middle.
"What else do you want with your eggs, Love?" he smiled "Didn't you hear me the first time."
"Don't you get smart with me Mr Cullen. And I would like toast please." I said giggling
"Only if you start paying more attention Mrs Cullen." He smiled and moved out of my hold to get the toast. I walked over to the kitchen table and sat down. I was hit with a bout of dizziness; I put my head on the table and waited for it to pass.
"Bella? Are you alright Love?" Edward asked as he sat the plate infront of me. I then lifted my head and started to slowly eat my food, hoping that it wouldn't come back up. I felt a strange feeling in my stomach, but I pushed it back down
"I'm Fine. Just dizzy for a second." He didn't look convinced.
"Seriously I'm fine and you shouldn't worry so much, it gives you wrinkles and makes you go grey prematurely." I laughed and started eating.
"Bells, What am I going to do with you?" He kissed my head and laughed.
"So when do we have to leave?" I asked.
"Well that's what I was going to talk to you about. I was thinking maybe tomorrow. Alice Called while you were asleep and said if we don't leave now we won't be able to for another several weeks due to storms. So tomorrow maybe?" he asked flashing his beautiful smile. It is impossible to say no.
"Ok then we can go. But I want to keep something from here, you know? As a reminder?" I asked taking my plate to the sink.
"Sure love. Like what? You weren't thinking something of the animal species because I don't think they would let those through customs." He laughed.
"No Edward. I was thinking like some shells or um I don't know really. I had this nice idea in my head and now it's gone." I huffed.
"It's ok love. Go have a shower and we can go for a walk to find you something. I'm going to call Alice and set up the flights." He said kissing me and then taking off like a bat out of hell. I can't wait until I'm a vampire. Then I can go with him everywhere. I had a shower, got dressed in one of Edwards shirts and my black tights. And sat on the lounge. I turned on the TV and the first thing that came on was titanic. Edward and I watched this 4 nights ago but we stopped it half way through because we got distracted with other things..
It was a little while later when I decided I was going to rest my eyes for a second. When I opened them I found myself encircled in two stone arms. I turned to look at Edward.
"I was wondering when you were going to wake love. You had me worried, I thought you were in a coma." He said laughing.
"How long was I asleep?" I asked him as I glanced over to the window. The sun was either setting or rising. I wasn't sure.
"Well its 5 in the afternoon. So about 10 hours love. Alice has our flights booked. She said we can get one at 8.30 tonight or Midnight. I choose the 8.30 one." He said I was confused, didn't he say that we were leaving tomorrow.
"Wait I thought you said we were leaving tomorrow what changed?" I asked him
"Well the storms are getting closer and Alice thought it would be best if we got back before they get closer." He said. I nodded and got up.
"Human minute?" I looked at him. He chuckled slightly and nodded.
"Ok love I will wait here." He said as I bolted for the toilet. I really needed to pee. Once I had taken care of 'business' I walked back out to the lounge room. When I walked through the arch I noticed Edward wasn't there.
"Edward?" I called out and I started walking to the bedroom.
"Edward, Come out, Come out where ever you are." I said. Like I was playing hide and seek with a child.
"Bella? Where are you?" he asked playing along.
"I'm under the bed." I said crawling underneath the giant white bed. I noticed some feathers still there. I giggled and blew it out, just as Edwards feet stepped infront the bed.
"Bella? Is that a feather? You didn't bite a pillow to did you?" he laughed reaching down to get me. I got up and hug him around the middle and picked up the feather.
"I think I found what I want to take back" I said laughing. I carried it out to the kitchen and put it in a little plastic bag.
"Hey Edward? Do you think they would let me through customs with this?" I laughed examining the feather in the bag.
"Not if they found it, but we have ways of making things disappear and reappear." He laughed tapping his nose. He took the bag from me and put it in his jacket pocket.
"Now Mrs Cullen Your boat awaits." He said lifting me onto his back, and he ran to the boat and sat me down. I looked down at what I was wearing and gasped. I can't go on a plane looking like this.
"Edward I need a change of clothes." I said.
"Why Love, you look fine in that." He said not joking at all. I raised my eyebrow at him and he gave me my favourite crooked smile.
"Oh fine. What would you like to wear? But you need to be quick we only have little bit of time" he said I just pulled out my old jeans and a light blue long sleeved v neck. I went into the cabin to change. Edward started the boat after I had finished changing. Then we were on our way home.
We pulled up at the doc and Edward lifted me out of the boat and set our suitcases down beside me. I saw a yellow cab pull up next to us and Edward went to talk to the driver. He opened the trunk and put the suit cases in and then closed it. He came back around to me, flashed me a smile and opened the door for me. I hoped in and Edward got in the other side. The cab driver then took off and we were at the airport within a matter of minutes.
We boarded the flight at a little bit after 8. Apparently the runway was clear and we were up in the air before 8.30. When we arrived home I was still half asleep so Edward had to carry me through the airport. I had my eyes barely open when we arrived infront of the family.
"Bella? Ready to go home Love?" Edward asked. I nodded, and Alice came over and hugged me.
"Did you have a nice time?" she asked. I mumbled something incoherent, and the family laughed.
"Alice you can question her in the morning , or later today. Let her sleep." Esme said and I felt Edward pick me up in his arms and I fell into a peaceful oblivion.
Ok, So What did you think? To weird? Or Not good enough to be on here? It's Un-Beta'd so the mistakes are my fault. I did use spell check but it only does so much lol
Please Review And Let Me know Your thoughts on whether i should continue. :)

When I view this page, it seems to hint that the best place for this would be plugins_loaded, and that it comes before the init event. Is that correct? The page in that link doesn't describe what the event order is, but seems to imply it.
The page you referenced does have the correct order of events listed there. If you want to see which events were fired for a particular request you can install debug-bar and debug-bar-action-hooks.

In Chesteron's play Magic a character often uses a phrase such as "as old Buffle used to say" or variations thereof. Is this, or used it to be, a common phrase? Does it have a specific meaning or is it just a foible of that character (the Duke)? The only connection I seem to find is with a character in Dickens's "Mrs. Lirriper's Legacy", a Mr Buffle.

I believe the Duke, an amiable fathead if ever there was one, is referring to Georges Leclerc, comte de Buffon (usually called Buffon in English), a noted biologist. See, for example, this citation:
In What I saw in America, Chesterton mentions a Buffle as an Oxford's Don and an English Type. Couldn't we see Old Buffle as the embodiment of the upper Class common sense for the poor Duke? It would make more sense than the Buffon's connection.

"...more vulnerable." ?!
Now I'm ascared.
Yes! Thanks for validating my amateur opinion that the music was the real tragedy in this story. It made me wince every time it struck.
What I want to know is: who in the cast or production are Stranger staffers sleeping with?
And why did they break up with the other one?
I agree with Brendan and Christopher and disagree with Jen and Mary McCarthy.
The woman who played Stella was the standout, but I thought the actors behind Blanche and Stanley both brought something new to the roles. This Stanley was weak--he audibly grunted when he lifted both Blanche and Stella, much to the chagrin of Ms. Graves--and casting Stanley's bad habits (spousal abuse, sister rape) as the work of a scared weakling was inspired. As for this Blanche, she was a real-live drunk, not some elliptical '50s drunk, and this paid off in both the early scenes (where she flits around twitching for a fix) and in the (spoiler alert!) rape scene. (Because the only thing worse than raping your wife's sister is raping your wife's sister's unconscious body.)
But the sound design is a hate crime.
Also, Sheila Daniels is dead wrong in stating Brando failed to find the humor in Stanley.
For proof, consult the scene when he first meets Blanche, and talks about the girl who once told him, "I am the glamorous type."
It is a dated turd of a play.
Don't be so provincial Seattle.
And B.K., why do you bother with such tripe?
What is next, a review of 'Guys and Dolls'?
I don't think "Guys and Dolls" is currently being produced in Seattle, which is sad because it's a classical American work, but thanks for playing.
Apparently Mr Dow would like to see something fresh and contemporary on stage; might I suggest a production of "High School Musical" or a staged reading of his favorite episode of "The Hills"?
@6,I have a lawyer acquaintance who understands more about theater than you.
On a related note, I wonder what ercentage of the cast actually lives in Seattle?
I'll remember Shelly Reynolds and Tim Hyland- because they made smallish roles interesting and seemed like actual real people. Stella and Mitch weren't especially memorable, but didn't throw the piece too far off track.
Can't say that about the two leads. I'll remember their performances only as an example of how easy it is to fall into cliched performances of those characters. Since when casting the leads, Intiman generally seems to require a resume including appearances on "Law and Order', it's interesting how unexceptional these out-of-town folks often are. Anyone remember diddly squat about the performance by Bart's choice for Richard III? If these folks were 'stars', at least you'd understand that they are needed to put asses in the seats.
I agree with David S re Brando's humor. To counter this, SD seemed to interject yuks were there weren't supposed to be any (like when Stanley is tearing thru Blanche's suitcase)- which forced a hamfisted return to the anger/resentment that is supposed to be there.

Feb. 22, 2000 (Washington) -- The FDA released Tuesday a draft study stating that it had no authority to require makers of bottled water to provide on their labels information about the water's exact contents.
A number of consumers, particularly people with weakened immune systems, have requested that the date of bottling, the water's mineral profile, the overall acid level, and the type of treatment it underwent be spelled out on the labels, Rebecca Buckner, author of the FDA report, tells WebMD.
This information, she adds, could be conveyed by increasing the content of information on the label and providing a phone number that consumers can call for further information. However, the FDA currently does not have the regulatory authority to require these changes, she notes.
The FDA report was mandated by a 1996 amendment to the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), which required agency officials to study the feasibility of informing consumers about the contents of bottled water. But these amendments did not expressly address the FDA's authority to implement these changes. In fact, the amendments primarily were passed to provide consumers with a "confidence report" regarding the level of contaminates found in their public drinking water.
Some of this information already is included in a number of manufacturers' labels, Stephen Kay, spokesman for the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA), tells WebMD. However, Kay admits, that is not uniformly true for all manufacturers, including a number of IBWA's members. IBWA is a nonprofit organization that represents about 85% of the industry.
Currently, FDA regulations simply require that these products be tested for about 75 different potential contaminates. The industry also does some self-regulation, such as submitting to spontaneous inspections by an independent safety monitoring organization, Kay says. But considering that the industry is so highly regulated, the general feeling is that "new standards are unnecessary," he adds.
The amendments to the SDWA specifically were written for tap water, he adds. "There is a label on bottled water, but there is no label for your tap water," he says. Bottled water is also subject to recall, and consumers have considerable more choice in terms of bottled waters than tap water, he says.
The industry might not oppose a proposal to include information such as a contact number on each product's label. "We would have to look at the standard, but there probably wouldn't be any major objection," Kay says.
However, the FDA is more likely to push for a combined approach -- providing some additional content information on the label and a contact number for more information -- should it receive the authority to further regulate these bottlers. The combined approach "is an appropriate and feasible method of providing customers with information and, in addition, has the benefit of delivering certain pieces of information to customers at the point of purchase," the FDA report concludes.
Vital Information:
- Some consumers, particularly those with weakened immune systems, want bottled water companies to provide a product label that lists the water's mineral content, acid level, and other constituents.
- The FDA says it does not have the authority to require these companies to supply content information on a label.
- Bottled water companies may soon provide a label that lists a telephone number that consumers can call for more information.

Southern Broccoli Casserole
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 40 mins
This is my favorite broccoli casserole recipe, courtesy of my aunt who lives in South Carolina. She traditionally serves this at Thanksgiving and at a few other family gatherings throughout the year. Aside from the ingredients, what really sets this recipe apart are the Ritz crackers mixed with melted margarine. Enjoy!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 10 ounces broccoli, thawed, chopped
- 2 tablespoons onions, chopped
- 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup mayonnaise (preferably Duke's)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1 1⁄2 cups Ritz crackers, crumbled
- 3 tablespoons margarine, melted
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Add 1 tablespoon margarine to a pan and lightly sautee onions until soft.
- Remove onions and set aside, reserving remaining margarine.
- Beat two eggs and set aside.
- Add broccoli, sauteed onion, mushroom soup, mayonnaise, cheese, and eggs to a medium bowl and mix together until well-blended.
- Add mixture to a 1.5 to 2 quart casserole dish.
- Combine reserved margarine from pan and remaining 2 tablespoons of melted margarine and gently mix together with Ritz crackers in a small bowl until crackers are coated but not saturated.
- Layer crackers as a topping over broccoli mixture.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes.

I made this for Thanksgiving and was very disappointed. Too much mayo (predominant flavor), too mushy, and not enough broccoli to soup/mayo ratio. Family couldn't even tell it was broccoli casserole. Sadly, it went into the trash on day 2 because nobody wanted the leftovers.
Only 3 because I am the only one who liked this in my family. The boys said it tasted "green" LOL. I have no idea what they meant. I think would be great for a pot luck dinner. Very easy and quick to put together. I made ahead of time, just took out of fridge and put crumbs on top then let it warm to room temp a bit before baking. Thanks
We made a very similar version of thes dish (minus the onions) from a Paula Deen recipe. This was VERY good! I bet the onions would only add to this scrumptious dish!

Game talks to DJ Skee about his new single "Bigger Than Me", which takes some shots at the XXL Freshmen class, among others. He also clarifies that he is "not signed to shit", and that his September 16th release, Blood Money, is more of a compilation album. He says he hopes to get The Documentary 2 out in January 2015, for the 10 year anniversary of his debut.

NFL opposes expedited hearing for Vilma
Published: Tuesday, July 17, 2012 at 12:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 17, 2012 at 12:58 p.m.
NEW ORLEANS — The NFL has opposed Jonathan Vilma's request for an expedited hearing as he attempts to delay or overturn his season-long suspension.
Tuesday's motion filed in U.S. District Court in Louisiana claims that the New Orleans Saints linebacker did not "exhaust the dispute resolution procedures" in the collective bargaining agreement. Vilma was suspended by Commissioner Roger Goodell for his role in the team's bounty program and has since sought a restraining order. He also has sued Goodell for defamation.
Vilma and the other three players suspended did not defend themselves at their appeals hearing before Goodell last month. Goodell then upheld the suspensions.
The NFL also says Vilma is incorrect in stating he can't have the Saints' medical staff monitor and guide his rehabilitation. He can, as long as it is at a private facility and not the team's training complex.

I wanted to buy this board and pieces, but I cannot understand if a king 3.75" is regular for tournament, or it should be 4".
Yes, a 3.75" K is regular tournament size.
I would also point out that the board attached to this set looks to be too small. For pieces this size, you should be looking at 2.25" squares, or at least 2.125".
Thank you, I'll check if they have bigger boards. Because I'd like to watch some games from books, on a wood chess tournament set, instead of just using the computer.
Are you sure Frank? The diameter of that king is only 1.5" so at least in theory a 2" board should be perfect. Someone in another thread suggested that for illustrative purposes photos are often taken on smaller boards. Looks to me like they crammed the set onto a board with 1.75" squares. I'm often wrong.
3.75" x 1.5" sets on a 2" board are tolerable, but right at the limit of acceptability for me. Here's what it looks like:
I prefer it on a 2.25" square board. Here's what the same set looks like:
Admittedly, I like it a little bit roomier than most do. Probably 2.125" would be "perfect."
A lot depends on how big the pawns are as well, Pawpatrol. I like a little air around my pieces as well but not if it leaves the pawns "swimming". Guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. I think your first picture shows a great fit, the second? Not so much...
That's why I put pictures, so people can decide for themselves.
By the way, the most common "regulation" plastic chessmen used in tournaments are 3.75" x 1.5" (http://www.houseofstaunton.com/triple-weighted-regulation-plastic-chessmen-3-75-king-1.html)
and the regulation vinyl, mousepad, and silicone boards are 2.25" squares, so that is the ratio most commonly used in tournaments (http://www.houseofstaunton.com/chess-boards/vinyl-chess-boards.html?src=lander).
Actually no. The cheaper plastic pieces are 1.5" diameter but by far the more popular are the 3.75/4.00" by 1.75" diameter pieces with a 2.25" board. Once again we must agree to disagree...
WOW!! You have quite a setup!! Nice, thanks for the pics, they were really great.
WOW!! You have quite a setup!! Nice, thanks for the pics, they were really great.
You're welcome, I'm glad they were helpful. Let me know if I can do anything else to help.
Thanks for the site with the other pics. I definitely don't like the German Staunton, because of the knight. I like the knight to be more carved. The house of Staunton has a set made like the Fischer-Spassky match but the king is just 3.5", and I cannot understand if in 1972 the rules for the pieces were different.
You're welcome, again. A lot of people like that style knight since it is used in a lot of tournaments with the DGT boards, but I understand not liking it because of its simplicity.
yes, that was what surprised me. The DGT board cost from 800 to 1300 or more dollars, and the set is quite simple, compared to more sofisticated Staunton sets. I believe I've seen some old Mephisto's computers with those pieces.
I saw that you set the chessboard in front of the screen, do you use it to play against the computer?
I use it for lots of stuff. When I'm studying, I prefer to have an actual board to move the pieces around on. Something kinetic about it helps me retain more. There's a physical connection I don't get as much with just the computer.

HoS has a 3.75" king for their Reykjavik set or a 3.25" for their library set. I know the original Jaques set used in 1972 had a 3.5" king, and they sell a 3.5" set today. I really hate the HoS "burnt" Reykjavik set, but then I hate all the burnt sets.
I'm "board"!

Cylinder blocks must be precisely checked for concentricity and deck surface condition prior to liner installation. Anything less than perfect condition at these points can lead to cracked flanges on the cylinder liner. Failure to thoroughly inspect these two areas is the leading cause of liner flange cracking and should be the foremost consideration if liner flange failure occurs. 100% of IPD liners are magnufluxed prior to shipment. CLAIMS SENT TO IPD INVOLVING CRACKED CYLINDER LINERS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED WITHOUT SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE AS TO CYLINDER BLOCK CONDITION.
For cylinder block deck inspection criteria and proper liner protrusion refer to the appropriate OEM service information or the OEM block joint repair procedure (SEHS9564-1). All IPD hardened liners are coated with a rust preventative during packaging. Each liner must be cleaned of this coating and then dried before placing it in the cylinder block. The liner should be cleaned with soap, warm water and a bristle brush taking extra care at the seal ring groove and filler band groove areas. Carefully dry with compressed air after cleaning is complete.
After step two (2) above is complete, the liner seal rings can be installed on the liner At this time lubricate the lower cylinder block bore and the seal rings with a rubber lubricant, liquid soap or silicone grease. Do not use any type of spray silicone. Completely coat the black filler band with clean engine oil and install in the upper band groove At this time the liner must be installed in the cylinder block as the black filler band is designed to swell upon contact.

You don't need computer science experience to host a CS First club. All you need is access to a location, an available computer for each participant, and a group of students.Start a CS First Club
Each CS First club is based on a real-world theme and offers about 10 hours worth of lessons and activities. The different club themes aim to attract and engage students of varying backgrounds and interests. All materials are targeted at students in 4th - 8th grades (or between the ages of 9 - 14) and are free and easy to use.
Social Media
To reach as many students as possible, CS First needs help from volunteers like you! You don't need prior computer science knowledge or education training to get involved — the only requirement is enthusiasm to help young people learn and explore.Learn about Volunteering
Many CS First clubs get their start when parent and community advocates raise awareness by making phone calls or emailing school leaders. Make a difference in your community by spreading the word!Learn about Advocating
