Sadly for the paper, it looks more like he's waving across the road to a friend than showing support for extreme right wing policies - though surely it needed only very minimal Photoshop work to alter the angle of his hand slightly and thereby make it more incriminating.
The Daily Star goes even further to try and smear Di Canio's character: they picture him embracing John Terry after the match.
The Daily Telegraph picked up on that cuddle with the controversial JT, calling it "perhaps not the wisest PR move".
Most of the rest of the paper's analysis looks at his clothing ("the jumper he wore under his suit had to be seen to be believed") and demeanour ("there were flickers of passion but they were increasingly forced"), adding towards the end a brief line about the tactical decisions he made.
Frankly, you can feel the sense of disappointment running through the Telegraph's piece, and indeed everywhere else. Where was the Di Canio who was supposed to shove referees to the turf? The one who was meant to start punch-ups with fans, lob water bombs into the opposing dugout and lead his men out onto the pitch while goose-stepping in an SS uniform? When the man's jumper is more exciting than the man itself, you know something has gone wrong.
No wonder that The Daily Mail and The Times lead with something else, namely Harry Redknapp's reaction to QPR conceding a last-minute equaliser against Wigan, a draw which leaves the London club deep in the relegation mire.
"Worst I've ever felt" runs the headline, based on Redknapp's quotes. That's some statement considering what's happened to him in the past year or so alone: he's been on trial for tax fraud, got fired from his job as manager of one of Britain's best teams, and gone from being a certainty to be next England manager to a man who'll clearly never hold the job, and ended up in the sort of relegation scrap that is normally reserved for angry young managers trying to make a mark.
The Guardian also leads its sports coverage with manager news, but they look instead at Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini. A lengthy report confirms what has already been suggested in the press, namely that Mancini faces a performance review at the end of the season that could potentially result in his sacking.
The story says that club chief executive Ferran Soriano and director of football Txiki Begiristain are keen to stamp their authority on City: "Mancini is confident he will remain in place. Yet with Begiristain and Soriano forming a new power base, there is a desire to ensure their first summer in charge of transfer policy involves the right manager."
Maybe; but Paper Round can't help thinking that a big result one way or the other in Monday night's derby would be enough to either extend or cut short Mancini's tenure.
The day's only solid bit of transfer news is in the Daily Mirror, which reports that Swansea have agreed a pre-contract deal with Real Betis's Jose Canas that will see him come to South Wales in the summer.
And finally, the Daily Telegraph reveals that Manchester United have signed a £180 million sponsorship with current shirt sponsors AON to have their branding on their training kit and, bizarrely, their training centre. Carrington will now be known as the Aon Training Complex.
You heard that right: that's £22.5m a year for eight years in order to have the company logo printed on tracksuits and rename a building that doesn't even host matches. Paper Round isn't an AON shareholder, but if it were then it would not be very happy at all at such madness.

Skip to comments.A Day in the Life of President Bush (photos) - 10.25.05
Posted on 10/25/2005 3:12:57 PM PDT by ohioWfan
Today President Bush addressed the Joint Armed Forces Officers' Wives' Luncheon at Bolling Air Force Base in Washington D.C., voicing his administration's support of the troops, and his commitment to the War on Terror and specifically the mission in Iraq. He later met with the President of the Iraqi Regional Government of Kurdistan, Masoud Barzani, in the Oval Office of the White House. I highly recommend reading President Barzani's comments about our courageous President.
You can also read the entire powerful speech that the President made at the Joint Armed Forces Officers' Wives' Luncheon HERE .
The President will speak this evening at the 30th Anniversary of the RNC Eagles.
Enjoy your trip to Sanity Island on the Daily Dose!!
Quote of the Day: THE PRESIDENT (lengthy and excerpted): Thank you all. (Applause.) Thanks for having me. Please be seated. Thank you for the kind introduction, Jonnie, and thanks for the warm welcome. I appreciate being invited to come. It's such an honor to be here to stand up with so many strong and caring women -- and a few men -- (laughter) -- who are devoted to their husbands and their wives, and to our country.
I remember when Laura came over here to speak before -- she had a heck of a good time. I bet you're probably wishing she was back. (Laughter.) This is the 28th anniversary of this luncheon. (Applause.) Laura and I happen to have our 28th anniversary of our own coming up Saturday. (Applause.) You helped me remember. (Laughter.) It's the best decision I ever made, was marrying Laura in Midland, Texas. (Applause.) Some question whether or not it was the best decision she ever made. (Laughter.)
Speaking about decisions, I've got another decision to make, and maybe after the lunch you can help me, and that is what do I get her on the 28th anniversary? (Laughter.) Never mind. (Laughter.) Never mind. (Laughter.) Sorry I asked. (Laughter.).............
II've got an important talk to you -- I want to tell you some things. We meet at a critical time for our military and our nation. At this hour, Americans in uniform are deployed around the world to defend our freedom and our security in the first war of the 21st century. They're carrying out dangerous missions with skill and courage and compassion. I hope you know this, but the entire nation is proud of the men and women who wear our uniform. (Applause.) And so am I.
Every sailor, soldier, airman, Marine, and Coast Guardsman who wears the uniform volunteered for duty. And they have something else in common: They all rely on the love and support of their families -- their moms, their dads, their husbands and their wives. You are the ones who send the care packages, and send the e-mails. You're the ones who provide the daily encouragement for our folks overseas.
I know this is a trying time for our military spouses. Many of you have endured long separations from your husbands and wives. You miss them and worry about them -- and all the while, keep things running at home. By standing behind those who serve, you're serving, as well. The American people are grateful to the strength and sacrifice of our military spouses, and so am I. (Applause.)
Our service members and families are sacrificing for our country, and you deserve full support in return. You deserve the best possible pay. I've gladly signed legislation increasing basic military pay by 21 percent since 2001. (Applause.) You deserve extra compensation when your loved ones put themselves in harmed [sic] way, so we've increased imminent danger pay by 50 percent, and we have more than doubled family separation pay. (Applause.)
You deserve comfortable and affordable places to live -- (applause) -- so we've improved housing for families living on base, and we've eliminated out-of-pocket housing expenses for most families living off base. You deserve generous and flexible benefits, so we've made it easier for military families to get health care. We've extended tax filing deadlines; we've increased the payments for service members wounded in action; and we've improved education benefits for the National Guard and Reserve.
Every man and woman who volunteers to defend our nation in battle also deserves something else -- an unwavering commitment to the mission, and a clear strategy for victory. (Applause.) On the morning of September the 11th, 2001, we saw the destruction that terrorists intend for our nation. We know that they want to strike again. And our nation has made a clear choice: We will confront this mortal danger to all humanity. We will not rest or tire until the war on terror is won. (Applause.)........
We didn't ask for this global struggle, but we're answering history's call with confidence -- and with a comprehensive strategy. Defeating a broad and adaptive network requires patience and constant pressure and strong partners in Europe, in the Middle East, in North Africa and Asia and beyond. Working with these partners, we're disrupting militant conspiracies, destroying their ability to make war, and working to give millions in a troubled region of the world a hopeful alternative to resentment and violence. ........
At the same time, Iraqis are making inspiring progress toward building a democracy. Ten days ago, millions of Iraqis turned out to vote on a constitution that guarantees fundamental freedoms and lays the foundation for lasting democracy. And today the Iraqi elections commission certified the passage of the constitution. Many more Sunnis participated in this vote than in January's historic elections, and the level of violence was dramatically lower. With their courageous vote, the Iraqi people have once again proved their determination to build a democracy united against extremism and violence...........
The sacrifices made by you and your loved ones in uniform are always on our minds and in our prayers. All of you also understand that sacrifice is essential to winning war -- and this war will require more sacrifice, more time, and more resolve. The terrorists are as brutal an enemy as we have ever faced, unconstrained by any notion of common humanity and by the rules of warfare. No one should underestimate the difficulties ahead; nor should they overlook the advantages we bring to this fight...............
Some observers question the durability of democracy in Iraq. They underestimate the power and appeal of freedom. We've heard it suggested Iraq's democracy must be on shaky ground because Iraqis are arguing with each other. (Laughter.) That's the essence of democracy. (Laughter.) You make your case; you debate those who disagree with you; you build consensus by persuasion; and you answer to the will of the people. ...........
It's true that the seeds of freedom have only recently been planted in Iraq, but democracy, when it grows, is not a fragile flower, it's a healthy, sturdy tree. As Americans, we believe that people everywhere prefer freedom to slavery, and that liberty, once chosen, improves the lives of all. And so we're confident; as our coalition and the Iraqi people each do their part, Iraqi democracy will succeed. (Applause.)..............
Some observers also claim that America would be better off by cutting our losses and leaving Iraq now. This is a dangerous illusion, refuted by a simple question: Would the United States and other free nations be more safe, or less safe, with Zarqawi and bin Laden in control of Iraq, its people, and its resources? Having removed a dictator who hated free peoples, we will not stand by as a new set of killers, dedicated to the destruction of our country, seizes control of Iraq by violence................
These are historic times. It's a vital time for our nation and the world. And I want to thank you for your courage and thank you for your sacrifice. May God bless your loved ones. May God bless you, and may God continue to bless our country. (Applause.)

Gotta go eat now, but I'll be back. :)
I just missed it! My finger stuttered or I might have made #1! Thanks for all the georgous pictures this evening!
(I'll check for new photos when I return).
That is most interesting! GWB wins in every catagory and can do even better by the time his 8 years are over! WOOHOO!
Not doubting you...just hard to swallow that the guy could be such a sheister.
Hi, Ohio! I know I'm a total stranger these days. Love Dr Deb's analysis. Hope you and family are well. Take care.
Thank you!!
Oh! I had forgotten that her new one had come out. Gotta have it!
Do you read Kathy Reichs?.....hers are very good, too!
Just heard from the lady herself :)
She sounds in good spirits but says, "... it is still very uncomfortable to sit at the puter for long periods of time....so if Im not there tonight, you'll understand why... tell all my friends hi tonight...."
So on Mystery's behalf: HI!
And prayers sent.
Military wives tell Bush: Give Laura diamonds
You're not alone :) Those polls can be skewed in such a way that they can produce any number.
Good evening Ohio
Enjoy your meal
Thanks for the great chart. Fox News had something similar, but much less detailed, this morning, about how all presidents have slumps - examples: Nixon's approval during Watergate - 24%; LBJ's approval during Vietnam - 32%; Carter's approval (I think during all four years) - 28%; Reagan's approval during Iran-Contra - 31%; and so on. Nina Eason (I think - of the Boston Glove) compared Pres. Bush to Lincoln, who was highly criticized during the Civil War but is now regarded as one of our greatest presidents. Your chart has lots more detail. Thanks again.
You're working too hard. You need to take a vacation.
Thanks for letting us know how Nancy is, great she is progressing well if you are in touch with her again please pass on my best.
Please, don't use that term in reference to Clinton. :-P
The problem with these kind of polling comparisons is that the lows for the previous Presidents you mentioned were during periods of low support for controversial policies (e.g., Vietnam), or scandals.
Naughty naughty you if do not watch you may get your toaster win voided LOL.
It was all a mirage. WE knew it, but the average American didn't.
You're welcome, Mama. Good to see you here!
(I'm having a tough time without my feisty one around!)
I encourage you to listen to Hugh Hewitt on-line at
You're welcome, Dustbunny! Glad you could stop by. :)
Yes, but we're in a period of controversial policies right now, at least according to the left.
You'll be up and at 'em in no time! We MISS you!
(And thanks, jonny for the update).
Hello all good persons thank you
Oh, and speaking of toasters, I think a Karl Rove model would be appropriate.
I had put the chicken and potatoes in the oven an hour before, and Mr. Ohio came home and fixed the veggies.
Nice teamwork that enabled me to get the DOSE going and still eat a nutritious meal. :)
Thanks for the Dose today, ohio, the best respite from the crazy Has Been Media!
Nina is right..........I think there are lots of comparisons between Presidents Bush and Lincoln.
And for the record, the chart is DrDeb's...........I just reformatted it for posting...........at least as best as I knew how.
But you're welcome (cause it took me a LONG time to get it to even look that good! ;)
I will :)
She might drop in later on, I don't know. I told her not to worry about that, just rest and get well.
Hello to you too, Sara! And you're welcome! :)

Diabetes Health Center
10 Surprising Sources of Carbs
In this article
Limiting bread, pasta, and cake is a natural first step when you're trying to keep your blood sugar levels down.
But carbs can lurk in some less obvious places, and you need to know that when you're counting carbs.
The amount found in these 10 common foods may surprise you.
Exactly how many carbs do you need? Many people with diabetes aim for 45-60 grams of carbs per meal. But you should talk to your doctor or diabetes educator to find out the right amount of carbs for you.
1. Milk substitutes
Soy milk and almond milk are great options for anyone who's lactose-intolerant or just looking to mix things up a bit. But watch out for flavored varieties, which tend to have more sugar.
For example, a cup of vanilla almond milk has 16 grams of carbs. A cup of chocolate soy milk has 23 grams, compared to plain soy milk, which has about 12 grams of carbs.
2. Yogurt
It's a good source of calcium and often provides good-for-you bacteria called probiotics (look for "live active cultures" on the label). But some low-fat, fruit-flavored varieties have upward of 40 grams of carbs for an 8-ounce serving.
For a lower-carb alternative, try Greek yogurt. The plain, no-fat variety has about 9 grams of carbs for the same size serving, and it also packs more protein than the regular stuff.
3. Baked beans
One cup of canned baked beans has a whopping 54 grams of carbs. That could be your whole carb budget for one meal.
You can still enjoy them, and you should, since they also give you protein and fiber. But limit yourself to a half-cup serving.
4. Tomato sauce
If it comes from a jar, you can almost bet that there's added sugar and carbs in there (about 12 grams per half-cup).
Look at the nutrition facts closely, and be aware that many brands are also high in sodium. When in doubt, drizzle it on your (whole-grain) pasta sparingly.
5. Salad dressing
Italian, Russian, Caesar, or French? Practically any bottle you reach for will have some sugar. The amount varies by brand, so check labels.
Consider making your own. Olive oil and vinegar is an easy option. Or at least stick to the recommended serving size on the bottle. A tablespoon or two is unlikely to send your blood sugar soaring, but if you drown your salad, you could be in trouble.

Maps of Britain and Ireland's ancient tribes, kingdoms and DNA
"For map fans, some new maps showing Celt, Roman, Anglo-Saxon and Viking territories in the British Isles. Also, the remarkable DNA map which shows how modern Britons still live in the same tribal kingdom areas as their ancestors in 600 AD."
Utopian Communes in the British Isles
Utopia Britannica is a collection of stories and a gazetter about utopian communes in the British Isles from the 14th Century up until the end of World War II. There are some incredible tales in here, such as 'Free Love' in 19th Century Somerset, St. Kilda, Death of an Island Republic, Percy Bysshe Shelley's attempted communes, Augustus John, the King of Bohemia and many more.
High quality antique maps of London & British Isles
MAPCO's aim is to provide genealogists, students and historians with free access to high quality scans of rare and beautiful antique maps and views. The site displays a variety of highly collectable 18th and 19th century maps and plans of London and the British Isles... [more inside]
Thousands of poems by women writers of the British Isles in the Romantic era
British Women Romantic Poets Project is a collection of poetry written by women from the British Isles between 1789 and 1832. Over a hundred female poets are represented. Women rarely feature in literary histories of the Romantic period but there is treasure if you search (some poems are, frankly, terrible). A few places to start are Charlotte Turner Smith's Elegiac Sonnets, and Other Poems, Christian Ross Milne's Simple Poems on Simple Subjects and Mary Robinson's sonnet cycle Sappho and Phaon. The oddest works to modern readers may be Elizabeth Hitchener's Enigmas, Historical and Geographical and Marianne Curties' Classical Pastime, which are collections of verse riddles (the answers are at the end of the text).

Right hand does not knwo what left hand is doing
July 26, 2016
Upon our late arrival, we were sent to a room that already had people in it. The font desk clerk showed me the registration form for that room and it was my information on it but signed by someone else. Fortunately, we did get another room that night. Upon checkout, we discovered a $25 charge on our bill. Since we were using points, we nor the front desk clerk could tell us what that was for. The only thing we were told was, "The GM will be in on Monday and will take care of it." Also, the recliner in the suite was very worn. It was not very inviting.
Hopefully, we just hit it on a bad night, but use caution.

What the World Needs Now
by Candace Bushnell
A middle-aged playboy, a nouveau riche couple, a grande dame gossip columnist and the requisite surgically enhanced tartlet are among the residents of Manhattan's One Fifth Avenue, where societal maneuvering and sexual escapades are as de rigueur as the marble countertops in the occupants' sleek kitchens. Tensions escalate in this upscale nest when hedge fund millionaire Paul and his socialite wife move in, setting off a chain of catty intrigue. The moneyed Manhattan media scene is familiar, entertaining territory for Sex and the City creator Bushnell—even if most of the characters are as two-dimensional as the society party pics they pore over the morning after.
by Philippa Gregory
Fans of Gregory's Tudor novels (The Other Boleyn Girl) await a new one like a box of decadent, mouth-watering bonbons. Her latest features the mercurial, oversexed Mary Queen of Scots. Set during Mary's imprisonment under orders of her cousin Queen Elizabeth, the story roils with secret schemes, treasonous plots and coded messages stuffed in shoe heels. Mary's "hostess," Bess of Hardwick, is nearly ruined by the exiled queen's narcissism—including her insistence on 32-course meals and her seduction of Bess's husband. Mary's hell-bent assuredness and ability to turn men into pudding combine deliciously with brisk chapters and rich historical detail. Indulge.
"I've never, ever, in 51 years, done a play that has come easy to me. And I've fallen over in every play [too] ... I can't keep upright." —JUDI DENCH
"Courage [is] not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. I felt fear myself ... but I hid it behind a mask of boldness." —NELSON MANDELA
Next up for the author: The Carrie Diaries, two teen novels about her Sex and the City heroine's high school days. "People will be surprised to learn," Bushnell confides, "that Carrie was a math whiz."
GOING HUNGRY edited by Kate Taylor
Eighteen women writers—and one man—share memories of anorexia's tenacious grip in this eye-opening collection.
DEWEY by Vicki Myron
Shoved into an Iowa book drop one night, Dewey the cat then spent 19 years as the library's famous kitty-in-residence. Warm and fuzzy.
EPILOGUE by Anne Roiphe
72-year-old author Roiphe's brave, not unhopeful account of life after widowhood. Think The Year of Magical Thinking, with online dating.
"Society is obsessed with youth," notes photographer Andrew Zuckerman in Wisdom, his collection of portraits and interviews with well-known figures over age 65. "I've never understood that ... [Older people] have all the secrets." Some they shared:
• "There will be another billion people here by 2020," says Hot, Flat, and Crowded author Thomas L. Friedman. His ideas on how we should prepare:
An "earth" race—like the space race—with China, India, Europe, to see which one of us can create clean power technologies first.
The people in China tell me it's their turn [to pollute]. They say, "The U.S. ate the entrée and said, 'Let's split the bill.'" It's unfair, but they can either complain or help.
Incremental change—205 easy ways to go green—isn't enough. We need laws supporting a carbon tax and renewable energy. This is not a hobby; it's a revolution.

Catalogue entry
[from] The Rivers of England ('River Scenery') pub.1823–7 [T04868-T04871; complete]
Four mezzotints, all proofs before letters, various papers and sizes, from a series of twenty-one plates after J.M.W. Turner (see T04790-T04819, T04917), Thomas Girtin and William Collins (see T04867)
Purchased (Grant-in-Aid) 1986
Prov: ...; N.W. Lott and H.J. Gerrish Ltd, from whom bt by Tate Gallery
Lit: Jonathan Mayne, Thomas Girtin 1775–1802, 1949; Thomas Girtin and David Loshak, The Art of Thomas Girtin, 1954; see also under After Turner T 04790–04819 and After Collins T04867
The history of this series, and a list of the engravers involved, is given in the introduction to After Turner T04790-T04819 below. Another view after Girtin for this series, of Durham on the River Wear, was advertised in the second part of the series as in preparation, but was never published. Turner is said to have touched the proofs of the plates after Girtin for The Rivers of England in respect for his friend's memory, although it is stated that he claimed 'two guineas a piece' as a fee (T. Miller, Turner and Girtin's Picturesque Views, 1854, quoted in Eric Shanes, Turner's Rivers, Harbours and Coasts, 1981, p.10). For an example of a proof touched by Turner and inscribed with his initials, see under T04869.
T04869 York Minster on the River Foss engr. T. Lupton
Mezzotint 147 × 229 (5 1/4 × 9) on laid paper 341 × 508 (13 7/16 × 20); plate-mark 195 × 275 (7 5/8 × 10 3/4)
Lit: Mayne 1949, p.90
Engraver's proof of plate no.7 of The Rivers of England, published 1824; bound as plate 7 of River Scenery. Original watercolour: Girtin and Loshak 1954, no.154 ii. Another mezzotint reproducing this watercolour was engraved c.1823 for Liber Naturae by S.W. Reynolds (see Girtin and Loshak 1954, p.155) and reprinted in 1883. In explaining how Turner is believed to have touched the plates for this series out of respect for Girtin's memory, W.G. Rawlinson cited the example of this print, an impression of which bearing the initials 'J.M.W.T.' was found in Turner's house on his death (W.G. Rawlinson, The Engraved Work of J.M.W. Turner, II, 1913, p.364).

Ankara's assertive set of responses to the Israeli assault provided a model for how mid-level powers could challenge Israel and stand up to U.S. pressure and emerge reaping enormous political capital.
New York Senator Chuck Schumer harshly criticized the Obama Administration's attempts to exert pressure on Israel today, making him the highest-rankin...
WASHINGTON (AFP) -- Washington's foreign policy echo chamber is reverberating with speculation that President Barack Obama could try to blow open the ...
It is just as inexcusable for the U.S. to support a government that kills passengers and crew on a humanitarian flotilla as it is to kill nuns and other civilians working in the Salvadoran countryside.
Obama's behavior on the Gaza flotilla hardly deserves the label policy. Its fecklessness raises the question of whether our leaders have the seriousness to be stewards of the nation's foreign relations.
When will we stand up for our brothers and sisters living in the Jewish state of Israel?
Ever since Netanyahu's government took office, there has been a never-ending stream of stories from unnamed sources taking shots at the Obama administration, trying to undermine its standing with the Israeli public.
Muslim scholar Tariq Ramadan -- whose visa was formerly revoked by the State Department in 2004 -- has returned to the United States for a series of lectures.
The conflict in the Middle East is not between Israelis and Palestinians so much as between extremists and moderates. And the extremists on both sides have been steadily winning through mutual provocation.
The Obama administration's treatment of our close ally, Israel, is abysmal.
Why should Israel behave? When did Israel experience consequences to its actions?
When the Obama administration spends its first year "extending an open hand" to Tehran while stiff-arming Israel, who can be surprised that the sharks are now circling?

Netanyahu's policies are providing Islamic radicalism with the iconic images that consistently weaken moderate Arab positions, both among the Palestinians and elsewhere in the Arab world.
If U.S.-Israeli relations are held hostage to progress on peace negotiations, the outcome will likely be a continued Israeli-Palestinian stalemate and a further rupture in U.S.-Israeli relations as Iran approaches its nuclear breakout point.
This coming week will tell us a great deal about the ability of President Obama to be a strong leader and an honest broker in Middle East peacemaking.
I was shocked when I heard my own government "summon" the Israeli ambassador to be read a statement indicating that the U.S.-Israel "relationship" was "at risk." "At risk"? The U.S.-Israel "relationship"??
Theatre provides the most apt metaphors for understanding what is happening between Washington and Jerusalem. For it is more about a script gone awry than a conflict over objectives and interests.

I have a legacy email system with many unix mailbox files populated by fetchmail and procmail for some mailing list subscriptions. These live on a mail server which has NFS and Samba so it can export my home directory (for example). Mutt works well with these files but really doesn't work well with HTML formatted email.
What I would like to do (if possible) is simply get another MUA that will work directly on the mailbox files but will render HTML email. Bonus points if I can use it from both Linux and Windows.
At one point I did experiment with WU-IMAPD (which can sit directly on mailbox files) but the user agent insisted on maintaining its own folders instead of saving to folders on the server. Thus, I'm really looking for something that will read and write to mailbox files directly.
So, any recommendations for a mail user agent that can (a) read and work with a large collection of unix mailbox files and (b) is preferrably portable?

Tasting Notes
A juicy nose of dark fruits, menthol and violet are balanced by generous palate of red fruit and soft tannins.
Technical Notes
Chateau Rocher Corbin, located northwest of the town of Montagne is perfectly situated on the western slope of the Calon mound at the highest point in the area. The estate has consistently increased in quality over the last ten years, thanks to owner Philippe Durand. The organically farmed estate vineyard, planted on limestone and clay, consists of 25.95 acres in one block and the fruit is harvested from vines that average 45 years old, 15% of the vineyard has vines more than 80 years old and includes a 140 year old parcel of Merlot.

Trails End Popcorn
NEWS for 2015!
1) Keller Prize Company – This is the same company we used last year. They offer great prizes and a speedy delivery!!!
2) Again this year, we will allow for units to place final Take Orders in containers vs cases!!! This will eliminate having to order excessive amounts of popcorn. (Show-N-Deliver/Sale orders by the case)
3) Two new products: Jalapeno Cheddar Cheese; Chocolatey Triple Delight – it's BACK!!!
Key points about the Trails End Popcorn Sale:
1) Remember – We are selling the Scouting Story and the many benefits that our program has to offer young people in our communities. This is an opportunity for our neighbors to make a donation to Scouting and in return, we are giving them some popcorn.
2) It provides the means for a parent to fund their son's Scouting experience. Scouting can be expensive and this sale provides an opportunity for parents to get help with the cost of the Scouting program for their son.
3) It teaches a great work ethic to your Scouts. A Scout is Thrifty! If a Scout works hard in the Popcorn Sale, he will have paid his way through Scouting (and earned some great prizes along the way).
4) It teaches goal setting, perseverance, builds confidence and enhances presentation skills.
5) It provides a substantial income to your Pack, Troop, and to the Cape Fear Council. Your Scout unit becomes a partner to the Cape Fear Council in making the Scouting program available to all young people in southeastern North Carolina.
6) It gives a parent in your unit the opportunity to become involved as the Popcorn Sales Leader/Kernel. Cubmasters and Scoutmasters already have enough responsibility. Invite a parent to provide leadership to this great cause.
Please plan to participate in our scheduled upcoming events. (See attached "Sneak Peek" and "Unit Commitment" forms) I look forward to seeing you there!

What Is "Blitz Week"?
"Blitz Week" is a one‐week concerted effort to focus attention on Scouting and the annual Scout popcorn Sale. All Cub Scout Packs, Boy Scout troops and Venture Crews should plan to select a part of their community with plans to knock on every door in that area. Research shows that less than 20% of homes are contacted during the annual Scout popcorn sale. "Blitz Week" encourages units and youth to reach those other 80%!
What's In It For Scouts?
Every Scout who fills up one (1) official take‐order sales form (selling popcorn to a total of 30 different customers) by the end of the day on October 4th will receive a Zing FireTek Rockets!
Promoting the Blitz Week Prize to your Scouts
At your District's Popcorn Kickoff, your unit will receive 1 FireTek Rocket package. The Cape Fear Council would like to provide each unit with one of these prizes free of charge so that you can use it at your Unit Popcorn Kickoff to get your Scouts excited about Blitz Week.
How Do Scouts Get Their Prizes?
Each unit with qualifying Scouts must drop off or send in the Blitz Week prize request form by FAX (910) 395‐0894 or email email@example.com, no later than 5PM Tuesday, October 7th. Each unit leader who submits a prize request form for their Scouts will be contacted by their District Executive or a District POPS Team Member with information on how to pick up the FireTek ROCKET for the Scouts in their unit that qualify.

Skip to comments.Don't Pick Rick
Posted on 02/25/2012 1:20:13 PM PST by WPaCon
Wish I had a nickel for every conservative who confidently predicted that the Arizona debate would, of course, feature obnoxious questions about birth control and the devil aimed at Rick Santorum. As it turned out, CNNs John King did not ask gotcha questions and, for the most part, conducted a fair and informative debate.
The debate moderated by King, along with other events of the past week, has resolved a question that has been swirling since the Missouri, Colorado, and Minnesota primaries: Why not Santorum?
There is much to like and admire about Rick Santorum. He did fine work enacting welfare reform in the 1990s. He was an eloquent and thoughtful advocate for the unborn. He has kept a weather eye on Iran for many years. Hes a dedicated family man. He was the first candidate to raise the issue of family structure in the context of discussions of poverty. And he had a solid, conservative voting record in Congress (with some exceptions there are always exceptions).
But Santorum would make a poor Republican nominee.
Because he has phrased his socially conservative views in vivid terms, he is precisely the sort of candidate who will evoke a Pavlovian response from the press. Just as they were driven mad by Sarah Palin, they will be outraged by Rick Santorum. The campaign will be cluttered by the continual discovery of controversial Santorum quotes from the past three decades, and precious time will be lost as he explains, justifies, or withdraws his comments on women in the workforce, contraception, gay unions, Obamas theology (by which he did not mean to question the presidents faith, something hell have to explain over and over), and so forth.
(Excerpt) Read more at nationalreview.com ...
"Because he has phrased his socially conservative views in vivid terms, he is precisely the sort of candidate who will evoke a Pavlovian response from the press. Just as they were driven mad by Sarah Palin, they will be outraged by Rick Santorum."
Assuming this is true, should that bother us?
Are we being led to believe that they will be more fair or decent to someone else?
"but because of the childish and nasty behavior of a lot of Newt supporters, Im seriously rethinking my support."
I've seen childish and nasty in support of every candidate, repeatedly. Don't let that affect your decision. There is no one running for President who does not have ugly supporters.
>>>Charen sounds like a few certain freepers.
She's an inside the beltway, elitist, Republican establishment shill.
Wonder what her Freep name is.
Gingrich, by making his two points to John King, one of which was Obama's support of infanticide, saved Rick's bacon on social issues in that debate. The positive response Newt got from that and the audience's reaction to the original question ,turned the tide. But for that, I'm not sure if Rick could have avoided an even worse disaster in his performance.
Just heard Newt's speech to the GOP Convention in CA. He eviscerated Obama on Obama's speech in Florida yesterday and on the Energy issue in general.
He is asking everyone who supports him to twitter or email someone and let them know about his pledge for $ 2.50 per gal. gasoline, and to make a $2.50 donation at newt.org to support him as he fights on. He also asked supporters to encourage everyone to watch his 30 minute video on the step by step process of getting Energy independence.
Don't pick, Rick!
The more I hear Newt Gingrich on Energy, the more convinced I am that he Can defeat Obama. This issue resonates with voters. Folks are facced with the reality of it every time they fill up their gas tanks. The impact of high gas prices increase the costs of food and every consumer item we use. Hard to ignore.
Newt has a remarkable plan, and if you haven't listened to his step by step Plan for Energy independence and $2.50 per gal gasoline, I encourage you to take 30 minutes and check it out at Newt.org and decide for yourself.
So, don't choose Santorum because he sounds like Sarah Palin. Yea, that makes sense. So is Mona for Mitt?
I'm sure Wm. F. Buckley, Jr. is shaking his head over the timid piece of crap National Review has become.
No, like Barry M. Goldwater and so many others once firm in conservatism, Mr. Buckley had started drifting left by 2000 or sooner. Christopher Buckley endorsed Obama. The nephew, Brent Bozell, III, remained steadfast.
Then you are blind.
Well, Rick Santorum's views on contraception are exactly what the propaganda media want you to focus on.
I saw his interview on Glenn Beck. Santorum is committed to repealing Obamacare, stopping the UN's influence on US policies, and getting the Fed out of public education.
I'd much rather have President Santorum than President Gingrich, whose role model for US presidents is FDR.
I couldn't agree with you more.
The devil can bring grievous natural circumstances, but can't "make" anybody sin without that person's permission.
It's interesting where Bozell Jr. went politically.
CNN and fair are mutually exclusive.
"Im seriously rethinking my support."
Then you were never much of a supporter.
I'm getting real tired of the Santorum crowd telling everybody to vote for Rick instead of their candidate of choice so that Rick can beat Romney. If Rick can't win on his own then he doesn't deserve to win. I haven't seen any of them say if you will vote for Rick in MI we will vote for Newt in GA. It is all one sided. No reciprocity offered. Let's just let everyone vote their conscience and whoever wins wins.
I understand Newt's your guy, but I think your stretching to think that he is the only candidate with the courage and the knowledge to have made the charge. It happened that Newt was the first person tapped in the questioning, so he got the first cut at the ball. Santorum has been living this topic for some time, so I doubt he wouldn't have had the knowledge or courage to have responded forcefully as well.
..and as President, per his own words, talking about the evils of contraception. Seriously. The media didn't make that up, Santorum said it. In fact he said it is one of the things that would make him different as President, he would talk about how contraception is "not okay".
Sorry, but that is one of his issues and he will never be able to avoid it on the campaign trail. You know why? Because he WANTS to talk about it. No matter what his advisers tell him, Rick will always be baited into talking about this stuff because it is his passion. It's why he is really only known as a social conservative crusader. Opposing contraception, porn, etc, are what Santorum really cares deeply about and you can see it when the topic gets onto the social stuff. This is all great for a Priest to discuss, but not something Americans are going to vote for in a President. Santorum will lose most moderates/indies and the Republican party will be deserted by the younger libertine generation that is willing to give the GOP a look on fiscal issues but is not going to vote for someone who is babbling about contraception.
Id much rather have President Santorum than President Gingrich, whose role model for US presidents is FDR.
I'd rather have my neighbor who I consider one of the best conservatives around, but he isn't going to win any elections. Our candidate has to at least be electable. We don't have the time to waste on candidates that are doomed to defeat from the outset.
Agree with you. NO to Santorum. He is a pious fraud or he has very poor judgement on his endorsements. One too many pro choice folks have been aided by Santorum.
Great idea. He could buy a station and have a gospel show.
Same here.
And I'm picking a President, not a preacher.
Oh, don't worry, Mona. I'm not.
Doesn't Mona understand that it doesn't matter WHO the Republican nominee is, he will be maligned by the MSM from the minute his name is mentioned at the Republican convention. At least with Santorum or Gingrich you'll be more apt to actually believe what they're saying, than you can with Romney.
One of the problems with Rick is that he has not been consistent in his personal decisions on social issues. He is advocating a position now that insurance companies should not cover prenatal testing, which saved his wife's life and which he certainly did not pay for out of pocket.
In 1996, his wife Karen, in the 6th month of her pregnancy was diagnosed by ultrasound with a life threatening infection. The Santorums made a painful decision knowing that the treatment to save her life would terminate her pregnancy, a technical abortion.
I respect their decision, but find it hypocritical, to say the least, that he would now deny coverage to other women for the same life saving prenatal testing, and also the same type of prenatal testing that saved my grandchild's life.
Don't think for a moment that this won't be an issue if he is the nominee. As was demonstrated by his own words in the debate this week, Rick's core principals dissolve when the chips are down and it is politically expediant for him to "take one for the team".
He needs to tone down the preaching and playing God with other people's lives by allowing them the same right to make their own decisions medically, just as he and his wife did.
Also you imply they knowingly chose a treatment that would lead to an an abortion. I think they chose a treatment that attempted to save the baby but led to forced labor and the baby died.
Besides no one is going to be making any personal decisions with their lives now that the government is already in control of everyone's benefit plans.
I'm ok with that. Vote for whom you want. But if you really want to stop Romney, then vote santo in MI. If you are a Gingrich man, you know that if he's going anywhere, it won't be MI, it will be super Tues. So you could stop any Rom-mentum in MI if you wanted. Then donate to your man and call for him in the other states.
I agree that I hated it when people told me I had to vote Gingrich for strategy. But if I had to I would.
Big government making medical decisions for people is one of the big objections to Obamacare. That is what has to be repealed. Sonograms and even amniocentesis can save lives.
Spinal bifida can be corrected in the womb and some other conditions can be successfully treated before birth.
They did know that the treatment would cause an abortion, but the alternative was that both Karen and the baby would die. They made the only decision that they could make, and I know it was extremely painful for them to go through.
We have to repeal Obamacare and I don't believe Mitt Romney will do it.
I'm not piocking Rick, but the article is garbage.
>> "Everything from NRO needs a BARF alert. Everything." <<
National Review was softheaded crap 20 years ago, and it is 20 times worse now.

>> "No one was criticizing Newt in the way Santorum is being criticized." <<
You're deluded.
>> "since the Santorum critics are most critical about his stances on social issues" <<
No, we're sick of his establishment, tax and spend acquiescence to the big government, big tyranny thugs.
I support Newt, but Rick would be better than Romney.
There's been no POTUS named Rick, let's keep it this way. Oh wait, sorry, I forgot Rick Nixon.
I do get it. I heard charen speak once, years ago, and she was rather patronizing to the mostly older crowd. I lost some respect for her. She looked like shed rather be doing her laundry.
(1) Many of the griefs we see (robberies, murders etc.) ARE a result of other humans' sin.
(2) I'm not saying that Satan-less human sin isn't theoretically possible, only that it's apparently how God arranged things with respect to our local fallen creation. Adam and Eve had nothing to be ashamed of until taking what (uh huh) the serpent offered. Why this and not some lone human disobedience to God was the prototype of all sin, I think there has to be a reason.
how God arranged => not how God arranged
Yeah, I was pretty surprised when I first started visiting this site to see that Santorum was unpopular with a lot of people here.
Well, Romney is electable. Newt is progressive, and the media will crucify him with his baggage.
You know it does not matter whatever baggage or skeletons the democrats have, be they just as bad and probably worse.
The propaganda media makes sure that republicans are the only ones held to ethical standards.
Don't you think Carter, Clinton, and Obama said and done things that made them seem unelectable to their constituents?
Carter admitted to having lust in his heart, Clinton was a known serial philanderer, and Obama went to a racist hate "church".
How in the world did they get elected?
We have to stop letting the media select our candidates.
When you are tempted, you shouldn't say, "God is tempting me." God can't be tempted by evil. And he doesn't tempt anyone. But your own evil longings tempt you. They lead you on and drag you away. When they are allowed to grow, they give birth to sin. When sin has grown up, it gives birth to death.The popular idea that sin happens as a result of Satan or one of his demons coming and whispering in one's ear is the same sort of myth as that which posits God as the ruler of heaven and Satan as the ruler of hell; the angels and demons fighting over one's soul, one whispering in one ear, the other whispering a contrary message in the other, trying the pull the person one way or the other (the funniest example seen in South Park Episode, Ike's WeeWee, when Mr. Mackie gets tempted to drink after getting fired for losing control of a lid of Columbian red). It's popular imagery that's more Zoroastrian in origin than Christian.
"Because picking moderates who won't upset liberals is a goal we should all strive for. LOL"
Americans are ready to elect a conservative EXCEPT they will not tolerate criticism of the sexual sin that is destroying society.
When was the last time your pastor spoke about fornication?
Rick Santorum is not savvy enough to escape the trap Obama has set for him. There are so many things to make this election about - fornication isn't one of them.
Might want to make sure that you aren't the one in the trap.
I have a hard time with that statement. First of all, any republican who wanted to was free to jump in the race. Many did and and some did not. Various candidates were eliminated after the people voted in the primary states we've had so far. We are left with Santorum, Newt and Mitt. That's just how it played out.

There is this story where this lady shot herself & she talks about seeing hell then God tells her its not her time something like that.. there is a video you could probably google it or something yahoo it & find it or you might find stories on the same thing just different ppl. There was a really good one about this boy he had something worng with him I' not sure what but I saw it on yahoo.. instead of talking about it he wrote his experince on note cards and showed everyone who watched his story.. he had actually died and came back to life a couple times because of what he has..but he would talk about seeing God & stuff that would be a good one to watch if you wanted too(the boy is in Heaven now though). Heaven sounds like a beautiful place and it's ashame if not everyone gets to end up there.
@ peace.. you should really change your username cuz thats not you. Anywhoo if you want to end up in Hell thats your choice but you are on Earth right now your not in the pain that ppl suffer when they end up there so if you do end up in Hell you won't like it guarantee that & you will wish you were never there.
I don't know how exactly God works but I know God takes children that die young at an age they can't understand what God is.. As for people who don't know about God like have no way of finding about him God just might take them too idk.. but some day I will. But more & more people are saved everyday from everywhere missionaries go out & try to preach to the ones who have never seen a Bible b.c of where they live or whatever the case is & they are greatful for it & so am i.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

@NicoleLynne: My friends aren't all Christian, and my closest friends aren't Christian at all. My family is not Christian, very few important people in my life are. Even on the off chance that your religion is right, I'd rather burn in hell for eternity with the people I care about. I know your answer would probably be; "convert them"; but many of them are very dedicated to the religion or lack of religion they cherish. I wouldn't want to be separated from them for all eternity, and the all-loving God who is deep-frying us in hell wouldn't either. (Wait…)You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

@NicoleLynn: Again, if you didn't read the link, if you weren't God's child when Jesus "came back" as they thought he was the only immortal being and was going to come back, not that he was taken up, full body, into heaven(that was added a full century after the first books were written, which were written about 40 years after he supposedly died) you didn't burn eternally. You were just dead. You weren't going to be tortured, there was no hell, there was nothing. You just weren't going to be given immortality with him if you didn't follow his teachings. You wouldn't find "heaven" (peace within) if you didn't follow his teachings. It wasn't until the church began mixing elements of Helenistic mythology with Christianity that hell was developed, as a Christian version of the Greek idea of Hades.
Also, think of the various indigenous people who have never heard of God. With your logic, every single one of them, who have never heard of the biblical concept of god, would burn eternally. That doesn't sound like an all loving God, as you describe him. So what's the point of following him, even if he is real? So you can live on forever? That's pretty selfish.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

State Officials Demand Answers From Antero Resources
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on July 31, 2013 @ 7:03PM
Created on July 31, 2013 @ 5:33PM
State officials are seeking answers after two people were killed and three others were injured in the Doddridge County gas well explosion early in July.
The State Department of Environmental Protection ordered Antero Resources to explain the cause of the explosion by Wednesday. But that's not all, officials are asking for a plan on how they're going to safely continue working at the site near New Milton and how they're going to avoid accidents like this one.
Investigators are still looking into what caused the gas well to explode.

I have a closed-source 3rd party program, and I want to be able to
- Know what memory is allocated to the program
- Access that memory (read only is fine)
Utilities like vmmap(1), heap(1), and leaks(1) seem to have similar functionality to what I need, but I can't find their source anywhere (the OS X versions) and can't figure out how they work. Preferably, this would all be done in user-space, possibly running as root, I don't want to write kernel code for the purpose of bypassing memory protection if I can avoid it.
I tried using shared memory passing the address of what I want to read as the 2nd argument to shmat(2), but this was ultimately unsuccessful (and probably not its intended usage and/or bad practice) and still left me without a way to determine what memory I'm looking for anyway (the program who owned the memory had to report its address to me).
Is there a way to just disable memory protection for a certain program so that it won't segfault when it tries to read/write memory that is allocated to a different process? Is there a better way that wouldn't enable bugs to seriously corrupt my entire system?
How is this achieved?

A jewel in the heart of the North African coastline, Morocco is a melting pot of culture in Marrakech, yet also serves up a decent dose of sandy beaches and sizzling sunshine, enjoyed from the comfort of a sunlounger in Agadir. Morocco invites holidaymakers to enjoy a short haul exotic destination, and its perfect fusion of modern and traditional influences make it a holiday like no other.
Haggle in the souks, soak up the culture or kick back and relax as the waves crash against the shore; your choices are endless with a break in Morocco.
The 6 miles of golden sands that Agadir boasts are perfect for a Blue Flag beach break, but if you head into the centre you will find a modern city which offers continental cafes, authentic restaurants and souks to explore. Learn how to haggle for a bargain, or simply press your toes into the warm sands overlooking the Atlantic.
Stretching across North Africa, the Atlas Mountains show a whole new side to Morocco. Gone are the bustling medinas and sweeping beaches; instead, the mountains are a haven for hikers, climbers, cavers and trekkers who want to get closer to nature during their holiday while stumbling upon traditional Berber villages as they go.
From the dunes to the hidden oases that they hold, the Sahara Desert is an adventure waiting to be had, and within easy access of Moroccan resorts via excursion or self-drive. Whether you choose to explore via ATV or traditional camel, this huge desert holds an abundance of excitement ready for the taking.
This bustling city is a highlight of Morocco, with colourful markets and spice-scented souks sitting beside majestic mosques and trendy boutiques. Jemaa el-Fna Square is a must-see, even if you're not in the mood for haggling – snake charmers, belly dancers and pavement cafes dishing up Moroccan fare are still worth the visit.
Morocco is fairly compact, and so getting around should be easy. Trains and buses go almost everywhere, and shared grands taxis cover most of the major areas, day and night. They always travel with six passengers, so can get cramped! Petits taxis operate in major towns and cities too, and are very convenient. Car hire is available, with ATVs being ideal for mountain and desert tracks, or pistes!
There is an excellent bus network around the country, and it's the cheapest and most popular mode of public transport. Travel is efficient and reliable, and most buses are comfy and air-conditioned.
Driving around Morocco in a hire car is a great way of enjoying this beautiful country, but Moroccan drivers can make the journeys a little challenging, so beware. Drive on the right.
As a tourist, you don't need a visa to stay up to 3 months. Make sure your passport is stamped upon entry into the country. Passports should be valid for the duration of your stay.
For more information and advice, visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/morocco/entry-requirements
or the Foreign Office at www.fco.gov.uk/en/
Make sure you take out adequate travel insurance for your holiday away. Also ensure you're careful when it comes to Henna tattoos.
For more info, see www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/morocco/health
There are currently no vaccinations needed for a holiday to Morocco, but check the latest guidelines with your GP before you travel. Routine jabs should be up to date.

Astrophysics Group, Dept of Physics & Astronomy
The Astrophysics Group of UCL's Dept of Physics & Astronomy is one of the largest in the UK, comprising about 90 members of academic, research and support staff. Our research areas cover massive stars, star formation, interstellar and circumstellar processes, astrochemistry, cosmology, galaxy formation and evolution, extra-solar planets, atmospheric physics and instrumentation. An overview of the group's research can be found in the most recent Departmental Annual Review.
Our group members are also playing leadership roles in many international projects, covering a time line from the present to 2030 or so. They include the Dark Energy Survey, DESI, Euclid, LSST, the Hubble Space Telescope, JWST, SPICA, Cassini, Laplace / JUICE, Ariel, LOFAR, Planck, Herschel, e-MERLIN, ALMA and SKA.
Head of Group: Prof. Mike Barlow
Administrator: Mrs Kay Nakum
2016 Royal Society and STFC Fellowship Application Deadlines
The Royal Society have yet to set a September
5th 2016 deadline for applications for their University Research Fellowship
scheme. Potential applicants who wish to be hosted by
the UCL Astrophysics Group should contact Professor Mike Barlow (email@example.com)
before Friday August 12th 2016, enclosing a draft 3-page research case and a
CV/publication list. After the material has been reviewed, a notification will
be sent to applicants whose RSURF application we are prepared to support as the
prospective host institution. Our internal deadline for the receipt of
completed UCL costing forms for RSURF applications is four weeks ahead of the
Royal Society's deadline - the UCL forms that need to be completed can be
obtained from Ms Kay Nakum, (email@example.com).
The STFC have set a deadline of Thursday September 22nd
2016 for applications for Ernest Rutherford Fellowships. Each
host institution is given an internal quota limit by STFC for ERF applicants
and so must have a process to select applicants to meet their quota limit.
There is a further deadline of August 25th before which no institution can
require applicants to accept an internal offer to host.
Potential STFC ERF applicants should send draft 3-page science cases plus CVs (including a list of publications) to Professor Mike Barlow (firstname.lastname@example.com) and to Ms Kay Nakum (firstname.lastname@example.com), by Monday August 15th 2016. A panel will then rank the applications and let candidates know within 10 days whether we are able to include them within the quota limit assigned to us by STFC, so that feedback on draft science cases can be provided and UCL costing forms can be completed and submitted by applicants in time.
STFC encourages returners to research and our quota limit
will not apply to any applications from candidates who are intending to return
to research from a career break (normally of at least two years). Ernest Rutherford Fellowship applications
from returners may be submitted in excess of the departmental limit. Returner
applications will be judged solely on the applicant's track record prior to
their career break.

News Rossi Supports Pharmacists' Right to Refuse Patients
posted by November 15 at 8:52 AMon
In the wake of the federal court decision that suspended a state rule requiring pharmacists to dispense Plan B, I've been trying and trying to get GOP gubernatorial candidate Dino Rossi to state his position on the issue.
Seattle Times reporter David Postman got the answer from Rossi today.
Here's Rossi's spokeswoman's answer:
Rossi spokeswoman Jill Strait told me by e-mail:
Rossi supports the decision by Judge Leighton and believes that pharmacists should not be forced to do something that is against their conscience or religious beliefs.
In 2006, the state Pharmacy Board was prepared to adopt regulations, supported by the Washington State Pharmacy Association, that protected the right of conscience. Unfortunately, Gregoire refused to let the board do its job and interfered. She threatened the board to see things her way and they ultimately complied with her heavy-handed tactics.
The federal judge put the brakes on Gregoire's strong-armed approach and protected the constitutional rights of pharmacy professionals following their consciences.
For Gov. Gregoire's position, check out what she told me when I interviewed her last week:
I asked Gov. Gregoire for her reaction to yesterdays District Court decision suspending state rules that direct all pharmacists to make Plan B (emergency contraception) available to women. Gregoire said she was very disappointed in the decision, and shes looking at filing an appeal with the Attorney General. Asked why she was disappointed, she said, A womans right to a lawful prescription should not be subject to the biases and prerogatives of a pharmacist. She also stressed that the issue was broader than Plan B, saying, for example, that an AIDS victim shouldnt be prevented from getting medication because the pharmacist might not agree with [that persons] lifestyle.
Additionally, Postman's got this official statement from Gregoire:
"This is about private medical decisions between patients and their physicians and pharmacies filling doctor prescribed medications.
