Stags legends.
Grateful to be remembered.
The 2014 class of the Berkeley Athletics Hall of Fame was announced this month, the third such class honoring the long line of outstanding athletes comprising the schools storied history.
New this year is a the honoroing of one of Berkeleys many outstanding teams, the 1960 football squad.
There are teams that deserve to be honored, said BAHOF Committee Chairman Lane Woffard. Teams that were dominant during their time like the 1960 Stags ... that are deserving of their place in history.
The honoring of specific teams is a new wrinkle to the hall of fame, which enters its third year.
The Class of 2014 includes Kathy Brittle Jones, Jimmy Villeoponteaux, David Barnett, Don Brown Jr., Mal Lawyer, Clark Simpkins, Pete Myers, and the 1960 football team.
Wofford, the only holdover from the original Berkeley Hall of Fame committee, assumed the chairmanship of the committee from BHS Athletic Director Jeff Cruce over the winter and announced the formation of the new HOF committee slated to serve a two-year term.
New committee members are Dave Copeland, current Hall of Famers Ben Fleming Sr. and Butch Watson, Amy Jones, Craig Mims and Bill McCall Sr.
Cruce said one of his goals when he arrived at Berkeley three years ago was to start a Hall of Fame.
Having done that, Cruce felt it was time to put the committee and the Hall of Fame where it belonged, into the hands of Berkeley sports fans.
The Berkeley Athletics Hall of Fame will be around long after Im gone, Cruce said. One of my goals here was to get this off the ground. Weve done that. Now the Hall of Fame should go to the community, the alumni, and fans of Stags athletics.
Wofford announced that the Third Annual Berkeley Athletics Hall of Fame golf tournament has been tabbed for April 24 at the Berkeley Country Club.
With the Hall of Fame awarding its first annual scholarship this spring, the golf tournaments importance as our primary fundraiser increases. The tournament is the first chance to meet this years Hall of Fame inductees and get together for a good cause.
To enter a team in the shotgun start tournament, contact the Berkeley High School office at 899-8800.

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. - The issues are weighty: religious liberty, personal privacy, public education. At the outset of a federal trial in which three Catholic families are attacking a school district, the First Amendment and the First Commandment were invoked.
But then the tooth fairy was mentioned. A psychic lecturing on creativity said she is a telepath. A yogi teaching stress reduction said he is a numerologist. "Interspecies communication" was mentioned.
And the exasperated judge wanted to know just one thing:
"Can a psychic tell when this case will finish?"
The case, which resumes Monday, is perhaps an extreme example of the backlash against a nationwide trend that has broadened course offerings away from the basics of reading and math.
The dispute began in 1995, when kids in the Bedford Central school district, which takes in four affluent towns in Westchester County, began playing a strategy card game called "Magic: The Gathering." The cards bear images ranging from innocent fairies to a lurid depiction of a woman about to be sacrificed.
Some parents objected to the darker aspects of the game.
"It's much worse than witchcraft," said Mary Ann DiBari, a plaintiff who is a member of the Northeast Ritual Crime Investigators Association.
When some children formed a Magic club that met in a classroom, parents demanded that the schools end the game's support. Superintendent Bruce Dennis halted play for 30 days until mental health experts assured him that the game posed no danger.
Not satisfied, the parents went to court and added a number of other school activities to their complaint: making models of Aztec gods as part of the study of Mexico, studying an owl's regurgitated lunch for evidence of its diet, taking a field trip to a cemetery, celebrating Earth Day and making "worry dolls" to put under children's pillows to keep nightmares away.
Such activities, they said, amount to "the promotion of Satanism and occultism, pagan religions and New Age spirituality" and violate freedom of religion. The worry dolls, DiBari said, amount to voodoo.
When asked whether she found the tooth fairy objectionable, she said, "It was not taught to my child in school."
Earth Day? The plaintiffs said part of the celebration included making pledges to the Earth, which they said was like praying.
"We worship the creator, not the creation," DeBari said.
The plaintiffs objected to drug and suicide counseling, as well as some homework assignments, as violating the families' privacy. They demanded injunctions against some activities, the right to opt out of others.
The school district said the activities were mainstream and wholesome. And allowing opt-outs, Dennis said, would bring chaos to the curriculum.
The dispute sharply divided the community. Some parents held a news conference to announce their support of the curriculum. Some Catholics separated themselves from the plaintiffs' religious objections.
"Since the initiation of this lawsuit," one parent wrote to the judge, "the atmosphere in the Bedford public schools has been one of fear."
Sensing an important case, the American Catholic Lawyers Association has taken up the plaintiffs' cause; the liberal People for the American Way is supporting the schools.
Judge Charles Brieant has insisted that a court is not the place for a curriculum dispute.
The framers of the Constitution "never intended this mess," said the 75-year-old jurist, but he was unable to force a settlement.
In testimony last week, the plaintiffs' children told of being forced to make models of Mexican and Indian idols. One parent recited the First Commandment stricture against false gods.
The children said they were bothered when the yogi - Agia Akal Singh Kalsa, whose World Wide Web site is called "yogaguy" - came to the school to lead stress-reduction exercises.
When the yogi testified - in the turban and white robes of a Sikh minister - he said his lesson had "nothing to do with religion" and that he hadn't mentioned his numerology hobby to the children.
The plaintiffs claim the schools allow the expression of Eastern religions but exclude Christianity.
The psychic, Nancy Weber, said she had been invited to lecture on creativity and that she hadn't mentioned being a psychic, a telepath or a minister in the LifeSciences Congregational Church. The plaintiffs said Weber inappropriately asked the students to "tap into" themselves by drawing with their non-dominant hands.
While Weber was on the stand, she was asked whether she believes in "interspecies communication."
"I'm not sure I know what interspecies communication is," Brieant said when the defense objected to the subject being introduced.
"It's communication between people and animals," said plaintiffs' lawyer James Bendell.
"You mean, 'Come here, Rover, lie down?"' the judge said as lawyers and spectators burst into laughter. "Objection sustained."

In seven games, Marshall had six special teams tackles.
With the additional spot opened up by placing Marshall on IR the Bears signed linebacker Jeremy Cain from the practice squad to the to the active roster.
A member of the practice squad for the first ten weeks of the season, Cain was an undrafted rookie free agent out of Massachusetts.
The team is looking for depth at linebacker with Urlacher out four to six weeks with a calf injury. Cain has been working at middle linebacker with the defense throughout the season, so if necessary would at least be capable of calling the defense.

Dawson: Ward Turned Down 170, Insisted on Oakland
By Ryan Burton
WBC light heavyweight champion "Bad" Chad Dawson (31-1) appeared on the latest edition of The Boxing Lab, BoxingScene.com's official audio show to discuss his upcoming fight against WBC/WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward. The fight will be contested at the super middleweight weight limit of 168 pounds on September 8th and will be televised by HBO.
In a recent interview on The Boxing Lab, Andre Ward said that there weren't any egotiations for the fight to take place at a catchweight between 168 and 175 pounds. Dawson disagreed with Ward's statement and said that they asked for the fight to take place at 170 pounds.
"We did throw a catchweight option out there. We asked for 170 and his people said no. They wouldn't budge," Dawson stated. "What he said isn't true and he insisted that the fight take place in Oakland. We wanted the fight so we gave him everything he wanted. I'm a true champion and I'm willing to do what it takes to make the fight."
Dawson said that despite some people saying the fight will be boring he thinks the fight could be a potential Fight of the Year Candidate. He also said thinks he will put on one of the best performances of his career.
"People think that the fight will be boring because of our styles but I think it will be great fight. I think our styles will go great together. I think it could be a Fight of the Year Candidate.
"The fans are going to see a totally different Chad Dawson. They will see the lightning speed, the footwork and everything else. It will all be on display," Dawson told The Boxing Lab.

Just curious. What kind of source/electronics are you using with your B&W C5s?
An iPhone is enough to drive B&W C5. If you want to get most of it try upgrading your library to higher bitrate. If you want to get more our of it you can consider buying a cheap but decent DAC/Amp like FiiO E07K (If you have an iPhone 4s or earlier. DAC function will not work with 5)
Yes E07K will work with your iPod nano if it has 30pin connector. You just need a cable like L9 to use it. Still you will not be using the DAC function of E07K but sound will not be double amped this way so it will sound better.
FiiO E6 will just give some additional boost to the sound but don't expect much improvement in the sound quality. If you are not dying for mobility I would still suggest E07K or E11. Also for ie80 is too high class to benefit from a simple amp like E6. Better use it alone.
When it comes to portable DAC/Amps I suggest people FiiO E07K or FiiO E17. Anything better than these will cost you around $500 (For example Vamp Verza that costs $600). For sure there is a significant difference between E07K and Vamp Verza but do you really need it at the moment? That is the question you need to ask yourself.

RadioMilwaukee awards event is place to meet
In the four months that I've been covering music full time for the Journal Sentinel, I've met a lot of local musicians, launched our annual 10 Wisconsin Bands to Watch feature, started this-here local music column and watched a bunch of great performances for our Sound Check series in the Tap Milwaukee studios. But I know there are many more people involved in the scene I need to meet, and a whole lot of ground left to cover.
So I'm looking forward to introducing myself to more Milwaukee musicians at the 88Nine Radio Milwaukee and Yellow Phone Music Conference's Music Industry Networking Reception Wednesday at Turner Hall Ballroom, 1040 N. 4th St. »Read Full Article

2016 Boe Forum on Public Affairs
Event Details
Date: March 9, 2016
In the wake of today's news that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has died, Augustana University officials today announced that the Boe Forum on Public Affairs, originally planned for Wednesday, March 9, has been canceled.
Justice Scalia was to have been the featured speaker at the 20th Boe Forum for a discussion on "Whether the U.S. Constitution is a Living Document."
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the Scalia family, the members of the U.S. Supreme Court, and our nation at this difficult time."
— President Rob Oliver
More than 3,000 free tickets had been reserved for the Boe Forum, sponsored by the Center for Western Studies.
"Since its inception in 1995, the Boe Forum on Public Affairs has sought to provide access to individuals who can address events, issues, or problems of worldwide or national concern and of broad public interest," said Dr. Harry Thompson, executive director of the Center for Western Studies, earlier this year when the University announced Scalia as the Boe speaker.
"Justice Scalia was, without question, such an individual."
Augustana originally announced Scalia as the Boe Forum speaker in November. At that time, members of the Boe Forum Committee said "Justice Scalia's presence on campus and his discussion before students and the public will no doubt challenge all of us to examine the ever-important role the Constitution holds in our society today."

Seismic Data Analysis Techniques in Hydrocarbon Exploration explains the fundamental concepts and skills used to acquire seismic data in the oil industry and the step-by-step techniques necessary to extract the sections that trap hydrocarbons as well as seismic data interpretation skills.
It enhances the ability to interpret seismic data and use that data for basin evaluation, structural modeling of a fault, reservoir characterization, rock physics analysis, field development, and production studies.
Understanding and interpreting seismic data is critical to oil and gas exploration companies. Arming young geoscientists with a reference that covers the key principles of seismic data analysis will enhance their job knowledge, skills and performance. A fundamental grasp of seismic data enhances employability and aids scientists in functioning effectively when working with seismic data in industry.

You will use altogether 9 to 11 clementines and two whole vanilla beans.
I made these cookies small, to echo the cuteness of the fruit itself. They are fitting for tea, a baby shower or a lunchbox but are especially suitable as a farewell to citrus and a sly beckon to the season just around the corner.
Tips: Zesting a thin-skinned, tiny clementine is not the easiest thing I've done. I typically use a sharp vegetable peeler for my zesting jobs, but I found a microplane (or very fine cheese grater meant for hard cheeses) worked better here. Otherwise it was just too easy to take off bitter white pith with the orange zest.
Vanilla beans are pricey, but they are worth the splurge for a recipe that really highlights them. Try beanilla.com or Amazon for bulk pricing. Otherwise, fine spice shops like the Spice House or Penzeys Spices will have them. Buying them at a regular grocery store usually proves to be expensive — and the beans are often dried out and old. A fresh vanilla bean is pliable and slightly sticky.
If you can't get your hands on the beans, use only zest in the sugar and add 1½ teaspoons of pure vanilla extract to the dough when you add the egg. For the icing, use ½ teaspoon extract. The vanilla flavor will not be an equal to the citrus flavor, as it is when using the full bean, but you will still have a delicious clementine cookie.
Add granulated sugar and clementine zest to a food processor. Scrape seeds from one vanilla bean and set aside for icing. Chop remaining pod and whole vanilla bean. Add to processor and blend until everything is finely ground. If larger pieces of vanilla bean remain, process again or pick them out.
You should be left with sugar softly scented with orange and vanilla.
Transfer scented sugar to a large bowl, add butter and beat until light and fluffy.
Continue mixing, adding egg yolks one at a time, then mix in juice.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Add to butter/sugar and mix until combined.
Cover dough and chill 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Shape mounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls and lightly flatten.
Place on a lined baking sheet and bake in preheated oven 9 to 11 minutes, until tops are set and undersides are just turning gold. Remove from oven and let cool 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully move to a rack.
Cool completely, then make vanilla bean icing. In a medium bowl, beat powdered sugar, reserved vanilla bean seeds and 4 tablespoons clementine juice.
Icing should be thin enough to drizzle. If it is too thick, add remaining tablespoon of juice.
Drizzle cookies with icing.

2007 Toyota Camry Solara Coupe SE 2dr Coupe (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
Quality and reliablity: After four days of owning my car and going on a 2 hour trip, one way, I noticed the carpet soaking wet on the driver's side. The service dept. kept asking me if I drove over any huge puddles or if it rained on the car. I replied, "No." They concluded there was a gap in the material used on the fender where water leaked into the car. I replied the only water that was put on the car was when they washed it the day I bought it. Performance: Smooth and quiet ride great pick-up but jerks when I accelerate after applying the brakes when slowing down to turn a corner. Design: I'm not crazy about the side view of the car -too sloped toward the back end.
Lots of storage compartments, 6 disc CD player, stereo controls on steering wheel, compass, rear view mirror changes from day/night view automatically, well lit dashboard, cargo net in trunk, seat comfort and leg room in back seat, steering wheel can be moved in and out for arm comfort
Fix the gap before selling the car. Back window is hard to see out of. Armrest for the back seat.

To the Editor.—
The patient's companion is common in office practice. I thought the companion (someone who accompanies the patient to the office) relevant to management, so I interviewed them for six months to investigate the phenomenon.One hundred six consecutive companions were interviewed. These interviews involved an office patient volume of 1,240 visits (incidence, 8.6%). Reports from ambulatory psychiatry practice have described the companion1,2 at an incidence of up to 45%.In medical office practice, the companion is obvious as is his intent, but special illustrations are helpful.
The companion gives credence to a complaint. A 74-years-old woman came with her companion, her daughter. The patient had been seen four times before with a "swimming" feeling in her head. Before the visit her daughter called, stating that her mother had a roaring noise in her left ear that she, the daughter, could hear. Although I could not

Skip to comments.Husbands with multiple wives to get extra benefits after Government go-ahead (Britain)
Posted on 02/03/2008 12:30:38 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
Husbands living in a "harem" with multiple wives have been cleared to claim state benefits for all their different partners.
A Muslim man with four spouses - which is permitted under Islamic law - could receive £10,000 a year in income support alone.
He could also be entitled to more generous housing and council tax benefit, to reflect the fact his household needs a bigger property.
Ministers have decided that, even though bigamy is a crime in Britain, polygamous marriages can be recognised formally by the state - provided they took place overseas, in countries where they are legal.
The outcome will chiefly benefit Muslim men with more than one wife.
Ministers estimate that up to a thousand polygamous partnerships exist in Britain, although they admit there is no exact record.
Potentially, the benefits bill for income support could reach £10m.
New guidelines on income support from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) state: "Where there is a valid polygamous marriage the claimant and one spouse will be paid the couple rate (£92.80).
"The amount payable for each additional spouse is presently £33.65."
Income support for all of the wives may be paid directly into the husband's bank account, if the family so choose.
Chris Grayling, the shadow work and pensions secretary, said that the decision was "completely unjustifiable".
He added: "You are not allowed to have multiple marriages in the UK, so to have a situation where the benefits system is treating people in different ways is totally unacceptable and will serve to undermine confidence in the system.
"This sets a precedent that will lead to more demands for the culture of other countries to be reflected in UK law and the benefits system."
Mr Grayling also accused the Government of trying to keep the ruling quiet because the topic is so controversial.
Corin Taylor, research director for the Taxpayers' Alliance, said: "British taxpayers are paying a record amount of tax so the Government has a duty to make sure that every penny is spent properly.
"Polygamy is not something which British law allows and therefore British taxpayers should not have to pay for extra benefits for second or third wives.
"If other countries sanction polygamy that is fine but the British taxpayer should not have to fund it."
Ministers launched a review of the benefit rules for polygamous marriages in November 2006, after it emerged that some families had benefited financially.
The review concluded in December last year with agreement that the extra benefits should continue to be paid. But the decision was not publicly announced.
Four departments - the Treasury, the DWP, HM Revenue and Customs, and the Home Office - were involved in the review, which concluded that recognising multiple marriages conducted overseas was 'the best possible' option. In Britain, bigamy is punishable by up to seven years in prison.
Islamic law permits men to have up to four wives at any one time - known as a harem - provided the husband spends equal amounts of time and money on each of them.
The DWP believes the number of people in polygamous marriages entering Britain has fallen since the 1988 Immigration Act, which makes it harder to bring more than one wife to the UK.
But, while a married man cannot obtain a spouse visa to bring a second wife into Britain, some multiple partners may be able to enter the country via other legal routes such as tourist visas, student visas or work permits.
Officials have also identified a potential loophole by which a man can divorce his wife under British law while continuing to live with her as his spouse under Islamic law, and obtain a spouse visa for a foreign woman who he can legally marry.
Immigration rules say entry clearance may not be withheld from a second wife where the husband has divorced his previous wife, and the divorce is thought to be one of convenience.
This is so, even if the husband is still living with the previous wife and to issue the entry clearance would lead to the formation of a polygamous household.
Muslim couples are only married in the eyes of the British state if they undergo a register office wedding as well as a Nikah, or religious ceremony.
Muslim groups say it is quite common for men here to undergo more than one Nikah with different wives. This does not count as bigamy since only the first marriage is legally recognised.
A DWP spokesman said: 'There are fewer than 1,000 polygamous marriages in the UK and only a small percentage of these are claiming social security benefit.
"We recently reviewed the rules regarding benefit payments to customers in a polygamous marriage, which conclude that the rules in place since 1987 provide the necessary safeguards to ensure there is no financial advantage for claimants in a valid polygamous marriage."
A once great nation continues to crumble.
What's Barack Hussein Obama have to say about this?
How can the government tell you thatyou can't have multiple wives when it tells you how much extra money it will give you for each one?
Is it not bizarre that socialist Europe, which has such disdain for the "backward" Christian faith, is now bending over backwards to accomodate medieval Islam?
Well that's not equal rights, is it? Why shouldn't everyone be allowed several spouses concurrently? No extra privileges for Muslims!
After all, in a couple of generations marriage will be regarded as wrongful favoritism anyway.
The new slogan will be.....
The Moon Never Sets On The British Empire
Sounds like mormons ought to love Brittan.
God what are the Brits doing. It's insane over there. It's like there's moral anarchy and (moral relativism) being institutionalized there. IT's one thing for individuals to feel this way, it's another to havethe government leading the way and draggin eveyone else along with them.
Protest and they've got your face on a dozen cameras. If you don't get the fine letter in the mail the police'll come by and fingerprint and put you in the DNA database. Wave 'hello' to Orwell along the way to Room 101....
"All Roads lead to Mecca."
Stick a fork in 'em. They're done.
It has something to do with the fact that if Muslims get ticked off they bomb something.
I want to know when we can get a tax deduction for the grand-dog we inherited when our daughter got married and moved out of state. We're about to get another dog from our son, so we could use the help buying dog food. ;-)
Is Britian just going absolutely nuts? Are they on a suicide march to oblivion?
What the hell is wrong with them?
Why are so many people and cultures all over the world caving in to Islamofascism? WTF is going on?
It's the same thing that happened to France in 1940: nothing to believe in anymore. There's no religion, no God, no government worth fighting for, better to just let those from the outside who want to get inside, run it.
Stupidity doesn't even begin to describe the Brits these days.
That's right...multiple mothers-in-law.
They are financing the lunatics who have barged into their homes to destroy them.....
Clearly and insane behavior...
Uh......I believe the same can be said for France, Germany, Spain and the United States....
We're all subsidizing invaders from Turd World "cultures"....
Left unsaid is what the other options were.
Muslim groups say it is quite common for men here to undergo more than one Nikah with different wives. This does not count as bigamy since only the first marriage is legally recognised.
So the muslims don't even recognize any marriage other than the first, but the Brits do? This is dhimmitude squared.
Husbands living in a "harem" with multiple wives have been cleared to claim state benefits for all their different partners.
A Muslim man with four spouses - which is permitted under Islamic law - could receive £10,000 a year in income support alone.
They have gone absolutely stark, staring, raving mad.
Bye-bye England. :(
Invite into your country an alien, hostile underclass, encourage it to out-breed the natives by subsidizing its polygamous clan structure with taxpayer's money, muzzle your own people's protests with "hate crime" and "hate speech" laws that penalize Christianity and protect Islam, sit back and wait for the inevitable civil war, which the invaders will win. The is the treason of the clerks on steroids.
I was just curious why a man would want FOUR wives? I've always been under the impression that most think ONE wife is More than enough!
Of course for muslims it's different...wives are property, not partners!
Lots of potential for statistical mischief. If only three people are in each marriage, this means 3,000 people.
Here we pay unemployed people who have been on welfare their entire lives more money for each baby they have. This makes just as much sense. Of course this British plan comes with a great big step towards sharia law which brings ever more benefits to the women. Soon they won't even be allowed to work, go outside, vote, drive, or nearly anything else.
Female circumcision should go over especially well in the enlightened British society.
Churchhill is rolling over in his grave! And Margaret Thatcher probably needs to be hospitalized after reading this!
I used to believe that "Eurabia" was all about guaranteeing access to oil. It also seemed possible that the EU elites wanted a huge body of young men who could be relied upon as myrmidons, in case the EU populaces ever got ideas about taking back their countries (moslems never having shown much disinclination for killing nonmoslems.)It even occurred to me that maybe the EU elites have ideas about encouraging the spread of islam throughout the EU in case antiamericanism and environmentalism aren't enough for EU cohesiveness. I think now that the answer as to why elites are so enamored with islam is easy to discern : Look at moslem countries: A huge corpus of semislaves with not only few rights, but no desire for rights, because all their misery is "Allah's will". Near slaves who never try to overthrow their elites, so long as those elites don't openly despise islam or the koran-and the elites are perfectly free to do what they will behind palace walls, or when they jet off to the west. Peasants who live at the subsistence level, relying on ancient "technology", thereby having minimal impact on Holy Gaia-in short, however horrific islamic countries are to us, to left/liberal elites, they are paradise and precisely what they'd like to impose on us : A world where THEY live in luxury while 99% of the population is semi literate and semi starving. Remember when George Soros made that remark at yet another Global Warming Summit, about saving the earth by destroying the western economies?
Where are the rough brave Britons to be found With Hearts of Oak, so much of old renowned?
Mrs. Susannah Centlivre
"The Cruel Gift"
Well, if the stealer of tax money is going to give you some other peoples money to sleep with four different women, good work if you can get it! (stupid is as stupid does)Who says you have to stick around much?
Yeah, that's ok...just don't call them "mum or dad" or they'll drag you to jail.
Aid for Families With Dependent Children (AFDC aka Welfare)is technically limited to five years in the United States. As a career counselor and supervisor at two different state (Iowa and Texas) workforce centers, I saw thousands of these "clients" in my 15+ years. Most had more worldly goods and money than I did. Also, they could quote you chapter and verse from the laws and rules wich governed their entitlements. I say we go back to the system of churches and charities helping the poor, and the government would only assist those that are truly disabled.
Didn't mean to hijack the thread but i agree with you. Its the entitlement mentality. Thats not what is happening in Britain though. I'd wager that muslim people in government have been pushing for this and other changes to bring them closer.
What the people don't understand; "They giveth; they take away." And they will.
...to understand this development in the UK one has to know something of the long history of government 'welfare' in that nation. The 'poms' who came to Australia as migrants in the fifties and sixties were already a generation of welfare recipients, expecting free (council) housing, 'unemployment' benefits and free health care as their right. (And dental care, that's why 'poms' have such rotten teeth...they would rather see their children's teeth rot than pay for a dentist.)
Militant unionism was also part of their mindset. They earned themselves the name 'whinging poms' and thankfully, many returned after a period of quite disgusting behaviour, their open criticism of Australian society earned them no friends, they literally created a sub-class of their own choosing. But why did they come to Australia?
Because it only cost them ten english pounds per head and many saw the journey as a cheap adventure.
Yes, many did assimilate eventually, but we still have remnants of their militancy in our unions to date - and if a local 'pom' can't be found to stir things up in the labour front, the Unions IMPORT a 'suitable' thug from the UK.
The muslims in the UK are not doing anything but taking advantage of what already exists in the system, they are stretching it. And it's quite acceptable to the 'poms' because the majority are totally in favour of 'getting the government to pay' -
I cannot recall his name, but there was an 'imam' who was deported from the UK, he expected to be allowed to return for heart surgery. I recall the government purchased a vehicle for his family at the cost of thirty thousand sterling - because his family was too large to fit into an ordinary sedan...
Get the picture?
It's no surprise to an Aussie to read about welfare for four muslim wives...not after our experience with the whinging poms whose entire families expected to be supported by the taxpayer. The poms won't complain nor take any action because they are on the take themselves!
(PS. Apologies to those from Great Britain who don't fit the mould.)
Unbelievable! If these a$$wipes have chosen to live in a Western country, then let them live under that country's laws or go back to the hellholes from whence they came.
This the most pathetic, disgusting, grotesque thing I have heard lately.
The Brits are deeply involved with our F-35 program. So much for keeping anything secret - the dhimmis will give it all away.
When we stop considering them to be allies? And this also begs the question - is this plural giveaway occurring here, and if not, when it does become a US policy, will the 'feminists' say anything about the male collecting all the checks?
Didn't a 'rogue mormon' just go to jail for the same thing? I bet a bigamist moslem won't.
How can I emmigrate to Britain?
It's like hiring your own assassin.
nope. muslims will destroy the public square. the government wouldn't dare.
England is bringing itself to ruin.
They forgot Winston Churchill, now this...
Are we next ?
with multiple mother in laws too

HourlyHours to be determined
Start DateDecember 9, 2012
I have a magento go site and I need a few things tweaked on the site.
1. I need to add a block on the home page below the slider which features new products
2. I need all the product images to NOT pop up in a new window and work with a mouse hover over and magnifier.
3. I'd also like on the category pages that when you hover over an image, it alternates it with a second image of the product so the viewer can see two different views of the product without clicking on it.
Can you do this and how much time do you estimate it will take? I am sure the coding is fairly straightforward and standard. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

• Individuals who possess tendencies of apprehension
• Someone considered to be 'easily upset'
• Someone who deals with adrenal insufficiency

Medications & Prescribed Drugs
To use <pills and medication for Bike Phobia> isn't supported in our program because we believe they act as 'camouflage', That said, you should follow your doctor's recommendations and always and seek proper medical advice if you want to change any medication. The root cause of being Cyclophobic is an unconscious mental association that links bicycles to powerful feelings of fear. Meds can mask the awful feelings for a while, but never break the mental patterns at the core of the problem
There is no drug specifically for Bike Phobia – and with so many potential side effects, who wants to risk taking medication as a solution?
The good news is with our help, you will conquer your Bike Phobia, without drugs..

You wake in the night, only to toss and turn for what seems like an eternity. When you're not thinking about how tired you're going to be in the morning, you are mulling over work concerns. You're not worried about unfinished business, but the "what ifs" keep running through your mind. "What if our new outsourcing partner leads us into violations? What if we've interpreted that accounting rule just a little too liberally? What if our business unit managers aren't consistently upholding our directives? What if there's an employee out there who is violating the law, and we find out too late?"
You see your organization as a house of cards waiting to fall. Then your thoughts turn to your staff and you remind yourself that you have strong people working for you. All your good efforts would surely withstand scrutiny, should the worst-case scenario occur.
Your mind then wanders to the email you sent to the entire staff announcing the win of a large contract. "The future looks bright," you told them at the time. "The quality of our products depends on the skills of our employees; you are our most valuable asset." Now you regret your words, because the majority of the work is going to be outsourced and layoffs are on the horizon. As you finally start to doze off, you wonder to yourself: "Should I have said all that? Does it even matter?"
What Does Tone Look Like?
It isn't easy being an executive these days; the risks to organizational and personal reputation alone are enough to cause many a sleepless night. And while being able to point to a Code of Conduct and existing internal controls may help leaders sleep a little better, even enforcement agents are beginning to realize that corporate malfeasance often results from two things: bad decisions by individual actors, and a corporate culture that allows the conduct to occur.
The magnitude of that message—that at the same time corporations must worry about individual employees, they must also foster an overall environment that discourages misconduct from taking place—is huge. Time and time again, we've heard policy-makers, pundits, and even prosecutors declare that for efforts to prevent and detect misconduct to succeed and an ethical culture to take root, the effort must come from the top.
Many have offered practical guides for executives, but what exactly does tone at the top look like? How does it get established? Research has begun to uncover some essential truths about the mystery of establishing a proper tone at the top.
Here are The Five Truths:
- Few leaders actually get through to employees with the right tone.
Research by Treviño, Hartman and Brown (2000) indicated that executives do acknowledge the importance of the tone they set in their organizations, and many believe they are perceived by their employees as actually accomplishing the task. But interviews with lower-level employees revealed that some of the most committed executives were considered to be neutral at best on the importance of proper conduct. Others were even viewed by their employees as altogether unethical. The reason? Executives weren't explicit enough and employees concluded that their leaders just didn't care.
- Tone at the top does make a difference.
Where it is being established, the proper tone at the top does have a substantially positive effect. According to the Ethics Resource Center's recent studies, where executives committed to certain actions, the prevalence of misconduct was 57 percent less than in organizations where these actions were not displayed. Similarly, employee willingness to report misconduct was 33 percent higher, and exposure to risk was 66 percent lower. And what reason...
- Big change is the result of small actions.
It turns out that what leaders do to transform their cultures and to reduce misconduct are not broad, sweeping initiatives. The recipe for success is manifest in small everyday activities. Five stand out in particular:
- Talking about the importance of ethics. Annual endorsement of compliance training is a start, but what really matters is continual reference to corporate values in making and explaining business decisions.
- Modeling ethical conduct. Most organizations have a set of core values; leaders who effectively set the tone actively and consistently display those values to the people around them.
- Keeping promises and commitments. The key here is earning the trust of employees that you will keep your promises, based on the fact that you've done so before. Avoid saying one thing and then doing another.
- Keeping employees informed. Sharing information about the well-being of the organization, strategic directions, and other activities results in an employee population that feels valued and invested in accomplishing the best interests of the company. Employees trust leaders who give them information.
- Holding employees accountable. When wrongdoing occurs, leaders who set the right tone back it up by enforcing their standards. If not, they will not be believed.
- Some efforts matter more than others.
Together, these ethics-related actions result in employee perception that the organization prizes ethics. That said, some of the above actions make more of a difference than others. Employees are 15 percent less likely to observe misconduct when their top management sets a good example and only 6 percent less likely to see others doing something wrong if their leaders just talk about ethics. It's not enough simply to talk the talk; one must lead by example to set the right tone and be credible.
- Organizations have many "tops."
Perhaps most importantly, tone at the top doesn't involve just a handful of people at headquarters. Direct supervisors who engage in these ethics-related actions have been shown to curtail levels of misconduct by as much as 37 percent. To an employee in a large organization, "the top" might be a direct supervisor, a department head, a business president or a CEO. Every organization has many tops, and the tone must be conveyed by all of them.
Tone at the top is easy to say but harder to do. The truth is that setting a tone is not a strategy; it's an expectation that is made credible through a relationship. Leaders who set the standard do so by consistently reinforcing their commitment to right conduct, knowing what employees around them are doing, and encouraging their direct reports to do the same. The cascading effect yields the right "tone at the top."

NEW YORK (JTA) -- Malcolm Hoenlein, speaking for the foreign policy umbrella for U.S. Jewish groups, denounced governments including the Obama administration for lacking outrage after parents and three children were slaughtered in a West Bank settlement.
"If governments, even our own, do not stand up" then the Jewish people must "shriek and condemn and take action," Hoenlein, the executive vice president of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, said Thursday at a memorial service for the Fogels.
He decried responses that are "a balanced statement or at most a lip-service condemnation."
"Where is the outrage? Where is the indignation?" he said.
The initial White House response, which condemned the murders as "terrorism" and said "there is no possible justification for the killing of parents and children in their home," was issued in the name of a relatively low-level National Security Council staffer.
President Obama has yet to pronounce on the killings, although Hillary Rodham Clinton, the secretary of state, condemned what she called the "inhuman" killings "in the strongest possible terms."
Hoenlein's anger also appeared aimed at the White House's relatively muted response to the naming of a square in a West Bank town after a terrorist, just two days after the murders.
In that case, relatively low-level officials said they were seeking clarification on the matter and denounced incitement by "all parties."
Hoenlein, addressing the memorial at congregation Kehilat Jeshurun in Manhattan decried the naming of the square as a failure of the Palestinians to show accountability.
Pro-Israel officials, speaking on background, have also said they were irked by the State Department's expression of "deep concern" after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced 500 new housing starts in West Bank settlement as a response to the murders.
Ruth and Udi Fogel and three of their six children -- Yoav, 11; Elad, 4; and Hadas, 3 months -- were stabbed to death as they slept in their Itamar home. Israeli and Palestinian forces are still searching for the perpetrators.
Mainstream Palestinian leaders have condemned the act.

I think Malcolm Hoenlein is right in his criticism of this administration. Clinton and Obama obsess about restarting negotiations as a path to peace. Do they believe that the people who sent brutal savages to slaughter Jews in their home and celebrated afterward by passing out candies to their people are capable of signing a peace agreement with Israel and honoring it? Really? That is the old way of thinking and it has to stop.
The Palestinians have been handed so many carrots from the West over the years that they are turning orange. Carrots have not been effective It is long passed the time to apply the stick to their tuchas with real condemnation, by actually withholding money from their treasury, and by building 500 new Jewish homes in Judea and Samaria as Israel has proposed.

HARRISBURG - First the Department of Public Welfare jumped the gun on the budget process Monday by notifying 70,000 recipients of general cash assistance that the program would be eliminated Sunday. Only the budget had not passed the legislature yet.
Then a top agency official on Thursday threatened caseworkers, fielding calls from distraught clients, with disciplinary action if they suggested the clients call their state lawmakers to voice their concerns.
"Effective immediately, all CAO staff should be instructed NOT to direct the clients to their Legislator or Representative. Such direction is contrary to the Department's position on the matter," according to an e-mail from Rich Wallace, DPW's acting director of bureau operations, obtained by The Inquirer.
