The UNC School of Nursing served the community through Project Homeless Connect on Nov. 4. This one-stop event at the Hargraves Community Center in Chapel Hill provided services such as job-readiness resources, health and dental care, mental health assistance, social services, legal services and housing to people experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness. Project Homeless Connect is a key initiative of the Orange County Partnership to End Homelessness and has served nearly 600 guests since 2007.
SON Associate Dean for Community Partnerships & Practice, Sonda Oppewal, acted as a Co-Chair for Project Homeless Connect's Health Committee. She solicited ideas from SON faculty about how the School might be involved, bringing some new ideas and services to the event. For example, guests were guided to relevant health services using new health intake forms developed by SON. The forms facilitated the use of clinical judgment based on interviews with the guests about past and current health problems.
Oppewal also helped assure there were sufficient health care providers, a need that SON helped meet with three nurse practitioners — Clinical Instructor Carrie Palmer, Clinical Assistant Professor and MSN Coordinator Jean Davison and Clinical Assistant Professor Victoria Cryer. Guests with high blood pressures, high cholesterol or glucose were directed to the nurse practitioners for counseling and referral (if needed).
Clinical Instructor Louise Fleming served as an active member of the Health Committee and recruited students to participate. Other faculty who participated included Clinical Associate Professor Eric Hodges, Clinical Assistant Professor Liska Lackey, Clinical Assistant Professor Diane Yorke, Dean Kristen Swanson, and Clinical Instructor Angela Clark. Clinical Assistant Professor Megan Williams also supported the project as the advisor to ANS.
Before the event SON Association of Nursing Students helped collect toiletry kits that were distributed before Nov. 4 as part of outreach efforts to tell homeless people about Project Homeless Connect. During the event 27 students assisted with intake forms, providing health information, helping with eye exams, and assisted in escorting guests to various stations. Students also gave manicures this year, which provided a new opportunity for therapeutic communication and health education reinforcement. A health bingo game was another new feature that reinforced health education.
Sara Smith, a senior BSN student helped give manicures. She said that the event was a great opportunity to help and volunteer. She had not participated before and was surprised by the number of children and women that made up the the homeless population of Chapel Hill.

Basic Background Info
Southern-born Tommy Aldridge is an entirely self-taught drummer, originally inspired by Joe Morello's solo in 'Take Five' by the Brubeck Quartet. Tommy Aldridge first taught himself with a book of rudiments, a pair of sticks, and a practice pad. He reflected, "I was fortunate, though didn't think so at the time, that I didnít have a full kit to begin on. I think that as young kids we all wants to be drummers because of the gear. We sit down behind it all and start flailing!" Learning to play was all about (often tedious) practice and, while drumming to Cream, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and Led Zepplin, he wore out the practice pad. Slowly but surely, he began acquiring a kit, piece by piece. Once the kit was complete, Tommy Aldridge started playing a double bass. As he stated, "there's really no way you can play on one, what can be played with two."
Tommy Aldridge started playing at small clubs and parties. An old friend called him to an audition, and Tommy Aldridge got a gig in Memphis with a band called Black Oak Arkansas. The deal went bad when he discovered that he couldn't easily leave the band. After finally splitting with the group, Tommy Aldridge played with Pat Travers, Mars Crowley, and Pat Thrall for several years.
Tommy Aldridge moved to London and started working with Gary Moore, who later introduced Tommy to Ozzy Osbourne and Randy Rhoades. Nothing came out of the meeting, so Tommy Aldridge returned to America. He remained there until Ozzy's wife, Sharon, called Tommy and asked him to join Randy playing for Ozzy. Shortly after Randy's death, Tommy Aldridge left Ozzy and started jamming with Rudy Sarzo in Project Driver.
David Coverdale of Whitesnake offered Tommy a position with the band in the 1980s. Tommy recalled, "My years with Whitesnake have been the most exciting. Every show was sold out. It was a privilege and blessing to be part of it." After Whitesnake slowed down, Tommy started freelancing. However, he accepted that he "never had the motivation nor vocabulary to do the session thing," and his work has been minimal.
Tommy reflects most favorably on "the camaraderie and the 'equal billing' a band association affords." Tommy left Whitesnake for good in 2007 and started touring with Thin Lizzy.

Surgeons in New Delhi say India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is
recovering well following coronary bypass surgery on Saturday.
One of the surgeons who operated on Mr. Singh said the prime minister's breathing tube has been removed, and the 76-year-old was breathing on his own Sunday.
Doctors say Mr. Singh is eager to get back to work, and they estimate he will be able to resume his full duties within four weeks.
Lead cardiologist Ramakant Panda said Saturday that a team of eleven physicians participated in the day-long operation.
Doctors decided to operate on Mr. Singh after he complained of chest pains and tests revealed several blocked arteries. Mr. Singh underwent a similar operation in Britain in 1990.
No acting prime minister has been named and government officials said that until Mr. Singh recovers there will be collective decision-making by the Cabinet chaired by External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee.
The surgery came as India prepares for national elections scheduled for May.
Mr. Singh's Congress Party says he will continue as prime minister if the ruling coalition wins the May vote. But some of his coalition partners have signaled they may back other candidates for the post.
The real political power in the governing Congress Party is said to rest with Sonia Gandhi, widow of the late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.
Political analysts say Mrs. Gandhi may be compelled to promote her 38-year-old son, Rahul, as Mr. Singh's successor if the prime minister's health becomes a concern during the upcoming election campaign.

Reading note from member of audience:
'I'm concerned about my son. He has very close friendship with the kuffar and is easily influenced by their lifestyles. He has no love or respect for the deen and this has been a cause of fitnah in our family. What can I do to change his attitude and how do I go about this? This has been going on for six years now.'
"I'm afraid that, I'm afraid that this question has been posed, or is posed, six years too late, maybe ten years too late or more. Really, I mean the education of our children starts very early in their lives. And what is sad to see, for many parents they send their children to the kuffar school, they allow them to mix with the kuffar, play with them and let the TV babysit their children for long hours every day so that the lifestyle and the beliefs of the kuffar become deep-rooted in the hearts of the kids. And then when they are in their twenties or late teens, then they realise that their children are not acting the way that they want them to act Islamically and they want to change them at that time. But that time is basically or normally too late to change…command your children to pray when they are seven years old and hit them if they do not pray, or they don't pray right, when they are ten years, and separate between them and their sleeping places."
"At seven you command him, so it's (?) that we need to take the obligations of the deen seriously from the age of seven. So if a girl, if we have a girl she should start hijab from the age of seven. By the age of ten it becomes an obligation on us to force her to wear hijab. And if she doesn't wear hijab we hit her. So that by the time she reaches puberty, once she is responsible before Allah for her deeds, when she is thirteen or fourteen years old, hijab for her is already a normal habit. She does not need to be reminded about it. Similarly for the prayer, similarly for all acts of the deen. We start our children on therm from the age of seven…so it sad to hear this from the questioner but what I'm saying is that he waited too late. He should have raised his child from the age of seven on mixing with the Muslims, staying away from the kuffar, having only Muslims as his friends, feeling the uniqueness and the pride of being Muslim and performing the obligations of Islam regularly and correctly from the age of seven until the age of ten, until puberty, so that after that all of this becomes a second nature to him."
Closer than a Garment
Oral sex was not one of the known practices of the early righteous Muslims. In addition, it is known to be the practice of dogs and the disbelievers. The Muslims are encouraged to imitate the righteous salaf and are discouraged from imitating disbelievers or animals. Thus, oral sex is a disliked practice.
To You Be Your Celebrations, And To Me Mine
And a true Muslim is very anxious to be distinctive and different from the non-believers. This attitude follows from the repeated instructions of the Messenger, sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, "Be different from the Jews and the Christians." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim], "Be different from the disbelievers." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim], and, "Whoever imitates a people is one of them." [Authentic; narrated by Ahmad] Why is it so important to be distinctive and different from the disbelievers? For the following reasons:
"We Muslims are blessed with the best guidance. The Guidance from the Lord of lords, from Allah ta'ala. This gives us true dignity and pride that no one else has a claim to: Honor belongs to Allah, to the Messenger, and to the Believers." [Al-Qur'an 63:8]
The disbelievers are misguided, and their ways are based on sick or deviant views concerning their societies, the universe, and their very existence. Their actions frequently reflect their deviant opinions. Why then would anyone ever think of imitating them? Yet Muslims sometimes do just that – they imitate them in their most unintelligible acts! The Messenger, sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, "You [Muslims] will [in future times] follow the ways of those [disbelieving] nations who preceded you very closely; even if they enter into the hole of a lizard you would follow them into it." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
There is a substantial amount of evidence in Islam leading to the important rule: external agreement or similarity results in real similarity and agreement of the hearts. Thus, resembling disbelievers is Satan's first step in leading Muslims to behave and believe like the kuffar (Those who reject Islam – disbelievers). Differing from the kuffar is of different levels or types, some of which are more important than others. They can be broadly classified as follows: Islam requires us to be different from non-Muslims in matters which are particular to their beliefs or worships, such as: wearing a cross, attending their religious services, wearing monks' attires, displaying or valuing their idols, etc. Imitating the kuffar in such matters constitutes a major sin which is most possibly a form of disbelief that leads to permanent abode in the Hell Fire (may Allah, ta'ala, save us). Islam requires us to be different from the kuffar in matters which are representative of them or are characteristic of their identity, even if the religious aspect were not apparant in such matters. Examples of this type of requirements: growing beards and trimming moustaches, dying white hair, not to totally abandon women in their menses, etc. Matters which can be classified under the above two types should be treated similarly, even if there is no specific text to require such treatment. Examples: wearing the Western hat or wedding bands, carrying pictures of family members, walking dogs, wasting time in watching sports games and soap operas, etc. As for other matters which are done by the kuffar but are not specific to them, the above texts inform us that we should still try to be distinctive from them as much as possible. What is stated above should not be taken to mean, for instance, that we should not learn the sciences or use technology because the kuffar are currently its leaders. Islam requires us to learn and benefit from such forms knowledge, and this does not have to do with the subject of being different from the disbelievers.
As discussed earlier, Allah, ta'ala, and His Messenger, sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, have warned us against following or imitating non-Muslims in things which are characteristic of their religions or beliefs. This is more emphasized in the case of their 'Eid or occasions, which always hold some religious or ideological non-Islamic meanings, and on which the kuffar indulge in many evil practices. Differing from them on such occasions includes the following:
Staying completely away from their celebrations. This means to avoid places where they perform their holiday practices and to avoid participating with them in such practices (Christmas and New Year parties, Halloween trick-and-treat nonsense, Thanksgiving celebration and dinner, Fourth of July fireworks, First of April lies, birthday parties, anniversaries, etc).
Avoiding doing, ourselves, things which pertain to the practices of the kuffar on such occasions (allowing Christmas trees in our homes or offices, inviting our friends to a Turkey dinner on Thanksgiving day, allowing members of our families to purchase or borrow Halloween attires, holding birthday or anniversary parties for our family members, etc). Avoiding to congratulate the kuffar on their occasions. For, How can we bring ourselves to congratulate or wish people well for their disobedience to Allah,ta'ala? Thus expressions such as: happy Thanksgiving, happy birthday, happy New Year, etc, are completely out. The only possible happiness is in true iman! Avoiding to celebrate our eids in a way which is meant to copy the ways of the kuffar (mingling and shaking hands between men and women, improper cover for both genders, etc). Avoiding to initiate certain occasions or 'Eid in imitation to theirs (the Day of the Earth, the Day of Iowa Muslims, etc.).
"So the main distinctive feature of the West is supposedly science and technology. They have the universities, they have the factories, they have the ability to make instruments and devices that people of the East cannot, or at best they can imitate. They have the sciences that are needed for the advancement of the societies and that is why many Muslims come to learn them, in order to take them, or that is part of the plan to take them back to their countries. However, we realise that in addition to this science and technology aspect of the West, which is one thing, during our time we find that the West has a distinctive cultural, a distinctive culture. It has a distinctive religious direction (?). It has a distinctive social, distinctive social standards. It has a distinctive set of morals. And so people who spend enough time in the West to gain the character, or the characteristics of the West, we find that they become infected by all of these things so that their morals will be the Westerners' morals. Their religion will be a Western religion. Their culture will be the culture of the West. And their social standards will be the social standards of the West. We find, therefore, that the people who spend more time in the West, they start to value the cultural values of the West. Which means they will like whatever is supposed to be of value for the Westerners, such as, for example, the Greek teachings or the Greek history, the Roman history, the Roman and Greek methodologies, things like that.
So this culture becomes an inherent culture of the (…?) dissolved in the Western societies. The religious values, even for Muslims, become generally weak, shaky, vague and they accept many of the religious values of the West, to the extent that you find many of them calling to the unity or the interfaith. And many of them afraid to say about a Christian for example that…that a Christian is a kafir, or things like that. We find that the morals of people who spend more time in the West, and sometimes very short times, become totally degenerate. We find, and we know that in the West, the family standards are loose and shaky or totally severed. They do not care about their relatives, about their friends, about their children. We find that they call to sinning, they call to zina. Their value forms in advertisements on the TV, in the newspapers, everywhere you look. Or the cheap way women dress, the way men dress, everything is a call to zina. We find in the attitude and the ignorance of the youngsters a great deviation from not only human morals but even some of the animal qualities that Allah has gave as distinctive qualities to the animals. So if you ask that even the animals would not do. So what is the combination of values? Some of them are very evil, drinking alcohol, smoking…the Western appearance and attitude and so on.
So this is what the West stands for. And as you see, it is good and bad. It is good and evil mixed together. And we cannot, we may not take it as a whole package. We may not take the West as a whole package. The truth is that if we take it as a whole package then we will be taking with it all the evil that is with it. And Allah knows, and we know, from Allah's teachings, that whatever is good in the West is not worth any of the evil in the West.
The science and technology and finance of the West are worthless in the sight of Allah. And their only benefit of worth is when they are directed to where? To increasing our bank accounts? No, when they are directed to obeying Allah (SWT) and supporting the deen and raising Islam. So they are if they are (?) by accident then they are excluded from the curse of Allah (SWT) otherwise they are accursed.
So we have to understand, we have to first of all clarify our future, or our view to the Western civilisation. And remove that veil that has been put on our eyes by the glitter and glamour of the Western society, so that we cannot anymore distinguish between its good and its evil. We must see its good in its right, true perspective and its evil in its true perspective as well. And we may take of the good what we need…and we must avoid the evil totally. So we Muslims arrive here in the West. Why did we come here? We came for various reasons. Many of us came because of what we said earlier, the Western civilisation, the Western science and technology we want to (?) and we want to improve our countries. We need to improve our status, we want to please Allah…as many of us claim. Many come to improve their financial status, so they can work here, and to stay here is better than to stay in many, or most of the Muslim countries. So, by that, they can support themselves here as well as take some money [to] support their families or relatives in the Muslim countries or save money so that they can go back and live their decent life. Others are here for purposes of tourism, to tour the countries where Allah is being disobeyed more than other countries or other places for the sake of tourism. Others come because they are refugees, they can't go anywhere else, and anywhere else that they go they [will] be threatened in various ways. Others come for the purpose of dawah, to call to the way of Allah (Azza wa-jall). And many of those who come for those various reasons, they stay for just three, four months at a time to fulfill whatever they came for and go back. Others stay for longer. And many, many of those who plan to spend a short period of time, we find that they spend much longer than they anticipated. They plan to spend a couple of years to get a degree but they spend many years working and doing other things before they go back to their countries, if they ever go back. So people come for tourism and they like it here and they decide to stay. And others who…they tried to go back and they find a big difference in the sort of freedom in this part of the world or the Western countries, as compared to the Eastern or third world countries, so therefore they decide that 'I cannot live where I used to live, I want to stay here.' So whatever our reasons, whatever brings people here, we find that most of the time, they spend longer years, more years here than they ever planned to spend. And they end up living most of their life in the West, having children, their children also growing up to adulthood and getting married in where they still are, or in the West.
So, as Muslims, whether we consider it permissible according to Islam or not, whether it is recommended or not, whether we like it or not, since Muslims are coming to the West anyway, and they are staying anyway, then they have, they must know how to minimize the damage that shall reach them from living in the Western societies. The Muslims who come to the West will eventually, either they, or their children, suffer from damage in various forms. And the damage comes from the evil that exists in the West more than they do in the Muslim countries. I'm not saying of course that the Muslim countries are perfect and there is no damage, no evil. The evil unfortunately in our time is everywhere.
All they do is show you that, on the TV, in the news, that all the successful people, the successful businessmen are nicely shaved. So that digs futher, deeper in our hearts and puts more pressure on many people, on the weak hearted people, than beating. Because when somebody is beaten, he may shave his beard so that he will not be beaten again, but he will love to grow his beard. And he will take the chance to grow it. But when he is under the pressure of the media, and he is convinced by it, that this is the idea of a successful man, a man with a suit and tie and clean shaven, then he will do it voluntarily. And he will take pleasure in removing his beard every morning that the Prophet (SAW) commanded him not to touch it. He will take pleasure in disobeying the sunnah of Rasūlullāh Sallallāhu 'Alaihi wasallam every morning. Take pleasure to see this clean shaven, smooth appearance on his face. Why is that? Because he has been brainwashed by the Western media. So that is the danger of being in the West. And by the way, being in the West sometimes, does not necessarily have to be by the body because you know that with today's communications, when you are in the Muslim countries you are also much of the time under the influence of the same networks and the same media, and therefore, many of the things that reach people here, reach people in the East or in the Muslim countries as well. But here of course the influence is more direct, more continuous, daily and so on, so that the person feels so much pressure that he cannot give way sooner or later. So we find that the Muslims living in the West, they, or their children, to varying degrees will eventually move away from the straight path of Islam. We find that their morals are contaminated with the Western morals. Now, when somebody at his workplace, and as I say, I mean I'm saying 'the West, the West, the West,' even though I know that many of these vices are present in the Muslim countries unfortunately in our time, but they were brought to our countries from the West, and they were adopted by our countries from foreign places….But in the West what I'm saying, is imagine a person who is working in a company where there is a secretary, and there is, his boss could be, his superior could be a woman, or somebody who works under him and so on. So there are men and women and they exchange jobs, they exchange words, they laugh together. Now this man, do you expect him to feel anything wrong in his heart about mixing between men and women? He wouldn't because he is used to it. He does it all the time in his workplace. He sees it on the TV. He sees it on the street. And he goes to some of the company meetings or parties or whatever. Then he will certainly, with time, become, lose the ability to enjoin good and forbid evil from his life. So that is one thing that was what? One moral act or moral aspect or moral value that has been lost from his life. He sees people drinking. He sees them on the TV drinking. He sees the advertisements of alcohol everywhere. It becomes so normal to him that he doesn't even see it when he looks at it anymore. So there is no enjoining good and forbidding evil in his heart anymore. And that means that another moral value has gone from his life. So if he is not against it then there will be a time when he could be for it. You can take , for example, in regard to morals, dealing with the parents, dealing with the relatives, dealing with the guests. You know there is no hospitality among the Westerners as there is among the Muslims…This is not possible to be imagined by the Westerners, and to them it is an act of craziness to go to such trouble to please a guest. Kindness to the parents, kindness to the relatives, respecting the elders, being merciful towards the youngsters or the kids and so on. So many characteristics and so many morals that are part of the Islamic identity are lost to Muslims who stay and live in the West and are influenced by the Western world. So the character of the Muslim becomes a Western character. Their behavior, a Western behavior. And added to that, we find that as soon as Muslims start having children they have no choice but to have to send them to school…So we find that as soon as they have children, they send them to public schools, to the kafir schools. And therefore their children, more than the parents, the second generation, more than the first generation, become saturated with the Western characteristics, with the Western values and they become Western, totally Western. So you find that most of the second generation in the West is totally lost.
So how can we accept the fact that we are the ones who are sending our children to destruction? To their doom. So what should we do? The situation is so serious. What can we do about it to safeguard ourselves and our children and our families in the West? What should the Muslims do? There are many things. I will mention a few because of the limitations of time and most of them will be general things or general concepts. If the time permits I will get into some more practical aspects inshallah.
First of all we have to stay away from the disbelievers. How can it be when we are in the middle of them? How can we stay away from them? Stay away from them as much as we can. (Arabic) as much as you can. To your maximum ability that is. So we have to exert our maximum capability to stay away from (…?) kuffar. So the rule should be, in ourselves, in our attitude, in our behaviour, that we should be away from the disbelievers unless we have to for certain reasons, for certain things. And not the other way around, if we have to be with them but sometimes I can take a few moments to go and be with the Muslims. No, it should be the other way around that I do not want to be with the disbelievers, and if I have to work with them then I limit my contact with them to the business. It will be a business relation, no joking, no visiting, no partying, no invitation to eating except for the sincere reason of dawah and no other reason. If we know that by inviting our colleague to lunch then it will give us a chance to give dawah to him and to teach him something about Islam so that he may hear some good things and probably he will embrace Islam. Other than that we should limit our dealing with them to the minimum because we do not love them. We do not love them, rather we hate them for the sake of Allah. And we love guidance for them, we love to guide them. But we do not love them, we love to guide them. That's why the attitude of our Prophet (SAW) that he was concerned about all of the people, all of humanity. He wanted to guide everyone and if anyone did not listen to him doing dawah he would feel sad. And Allah (Azza wa-jall) told him that he should not kill himself of sadness because of they did not want to listen to him. So this should be our attitude that we are so concerned, we have a great concern about guiding those lost people but not at the cost of misguiding ourselves. Not at the cost of losing our deen for their sake. We come first, they come second. If we go to buy something from a supermarket or wherever, we try to do it in the easiest way and the shortest way. Do it quickly and get out. Don't linger around. Don't go and walk in malls or big markets where you have to walk and do window shopping, as they call it, for hours until you finally decide what you want to buy.

The Muslims are blessed with the best guidance. The disbelievers are misguided, and their ways are based on wrong views. Their actions frequently reflect their deviant views. Why, then, would one wish to imitate them? Yet, sadly, some Muslims imitate them, even in meaningless acts!
Resembling the disbelievers is Satan's first step in leading the Muslims to behave and believe like them. The worst form of imitation of the non-Muslims is in practices that involve shirk or are based on their deviant religious beliefs.
A true Muslim holds a correct Islamic understanding regarding celebrations. He only celebrates the festivals that have been legislated by Allah. Festivals are religious occasions characteristic of every nation's religion or beliefs. Thus, it is compulsory on the Muslims to avoid imitating the disbelievers in their festivals or join in any of the practices that are associated with them. This includes answering their invitations, congratulating them, giving them presents, displaying their symbols, or doing any other act, regardless of how small it might appear, that indicates approval of their festivals.
Therefore, taking any part in celebrating it is greatly prohibited in Islam. It is worse than joining with sinners in their sins or congratulating them for drinking wine, fornication and so on. Celebrating Halloween is similar to celebrating Christmas or Easter, or congratulating the Christians for their prostration to the crucifix. The Muslim parents should caution their children and prevent them from participating in any of its practices. Despite its clear prohibition, it is sad to see some Muslims participate in Halloween, purchase and wear silly Halloween costumes, and send their kids "trick-or-treating". They try to justify this by that they want to make their children happy. But what is the duty of the Muslim parents? Is it to follow the wishes of their children without question or to mould them within the correct Islamic framework as outlined in the Qur'an and Sunnah? Is it not the responsibility of the Muslim parents to impart correct Islamic training and instruction to their children? How can this duty be performed if, instead of instructing the children in Islam, their parents allow and encourage them to follow the ways of the unbelievers?
If the children are taught to be proud of their Islamic heritage, they themselves will abstain from Halloween and other non-Muslim celebrations, such as birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, Valentine's Day, etc. Islam is a pure religion with no need for accommodating any custom, practice or celebration that is not a part of it. The question arises as to what to do on Halloween night. The Muslim parents must not send their kids "trick-or-treating". Our children must be told why we do not celebrate Halloween. Simplifying the above material may be very suitable for this purpose. Most children are very receptive when taught with sincerity.
It must also be noted that, even the Muslims who stay home and give out treats to those who come to their door are thereby participating in this festival. In order to avoid this, they should leave their front lights off and should not open their door. Furthermore, they should educate their neighbors about the Islamic teachings and inform them in advance that the Muslims do not participate in Halloween.
Smoking is a form of moral decadence. It is most spread among the low-class immoral people. It reflects blind imitation of the non-Muslims. It is mostly consumed in bars, discos, casinos, and other: places of sin. A smoker may beg or steal if he does not have the money to buy cigarettes. He is ill-mannered with his friends and family, especially when he misses taking his necessary "dose" at the usual time.
Closer than a Garment
Many Western behavioral and so-called social scientists, such as Freud, declare that masturbation is perfectly acceptable and has no harmful effects. Those scientists" have similar approaches with other sexual aberrations. Their misconceptions have poisoned the thoughts of most people in our time, has given them a deviant understanding of many aspects of human sexuality, and have made sexual aberrations, even the extreme ones, like homosexuality acceptable by many.
Sodomy or homosexuality (in Arabic, liwat) is for a man to perform anal intercourse with another man. Sodomy is the most appalling sexual aberration for men. It indicates a marked deviation in man's nature from the pure and clean state upon which Allah (&) created him. It is a major sin that was not committed by any human beings prior to the Sodomite people of Lut.
From the above ayat, we see that sodomy is a major sin that deserves a most severe punishment. Some of today's cultures are sympathetic with it, giving it misleading names such as "sexual preference", "alternative lifestyle", and "gayness". They also sympathize with the criminals who commit it and allow them social rights that reach the level of offending the "straight" people. This only points to the serious degree of corruption that the modern civilization has reached.
Under the Islamic law, a person who is convicted of sodomy is subject to the capital punishment of killing.
Thus, what we hear nowadays of some so-called Muslims establishing so-called "Muslim gay associations" is a clear nonsense. A person who is afflicted by indulgence in such a major sin must hide away his sin and repent to Allah rather than insisting on it and daring to openly advertise his wickedness.
It is important to emphasize what we previously mentioned: The Islamic penalties for various crimes are only handled by the ruler of the Islamic state or his authorized representative. It is not to the individuals or local community imams to establish such penalties.
Lesbianism (in Arabic, sihaq) is an aberration whereby two women perform sexual acts together. This would normally involve many violations to Islam, mainly:
1. Exposing their 'awrah to each other.
2. Touching or rubbing each other's private parts, and performing other acts of intimacy that may only be done between a woman and her husband.
3. Performing various perverted acts (some of which are discussed in this chapter) in order to reach sexual gratification.
All of the above contradicts the wisdom of marriage and violates Allah's command to the believers to guard their private parts from other than their spouses. Because of this, sihaq is clearly prohibited in Islam. Its penalty under the Islamic law is left to the Islamic ruler's judgment.
Closer than a Garment
Rape is performing sexual intercourse by force with non-consenting individual. Most commonly, the man is the criminal and the woman is the victim in a rape act. One should note that many women in our time have made themselves appealing preys to rape by the indecent way they dress and act. Pornography, alcohol, and drugs give many men added incentive for rape.
"It is not permissible to have intercourse with a pregnant woman who is a captive of war, because that would lead to a confusion in the lineage of the baby, which would reflect on inheritance and other matters."
We must help provide realistic Islamic solutions to contemporary problems, and strive to resume a true Islamic way of life and establish a true Islamic society governed by Allah's law.

I'm popping in quickly to share a bendy card I made for my Dads 60th Birthday (no it doesn't say 'Happy Goth Birthday' ;) ). I changed the wording and font to suit the occasion and added some green-y blue glitter although it's not showing up very clearly on the photo. If you would like the free cut file for the Happy Birthday version of this card check out yesterdays post.
I told you it was a quick visit! Have fun crafting :)

Day Three Hundred and Sixty-five - The Cabin in the Woods, "THIS... IS... IT!"
To put it simply, The Cabin in the Woods is the perfect homage to all of what encompasses Horror Films... and is a damned hilarious comedy as well. It's so good that it's supplanted every other Horror movie in existence to become my favorite of all time.
The story is fairly straight-forward, but is told in an unusual manner. In fact, just based on the cold open (which features key antagonists Bradley Whitford and Richard Jenkins, as well as Whedonverse alum Amy Acker), you wouldn't think it a horror film at all... until the title card gives you a screaming jump scare and the stereotypical victims are all introduced.
As the college kid weekend getaway progresses and is contrasted with the bunker scenes, the film's strange conspiracy begins to reveal itself and the audience gleans that the whole shebang is a very carefully choreographed human sacrifice to ancient eldritch horrors. The victims choose their doom and the bureaucrats do their damnedest to make sure said doom comes to pass, for the survival of our entire species.
Of course, things go wrong and even as the pretty young things die one by one, the survivors manage to stumble on the inner workings of the sacrifice and throw a giant monkey-wrench into the works, dooming both themselves and us all to Hell on Earth at the hands of the ancient ones... and you're not quite sure they're wrong for doing so.
While I like how pretty much every one of the victims inverts their stereotypes in entertaining ways, the real stars of the show for me are Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford. While I love both of them for the tremendous character actors that they are (see them in films/series like Killing Them Softly, The West Wing, and The Good Guys... Rich in the first and Brad in the latter two), it's here that their humor and presence really shines. From the laughter they inspire picking on The Harbinger (Tim de Zarn) and their cute dance routine to the serious moments like the quiet prayer Jenkins intones after the first death, these two "puppetmasters" really make the movie for me.
Cabin also bears the distinction of having Chris Hemsworth pre-Thor as Cabin was filmed just after Star Trek, but was shelved for several years, first due to 3D post conversion and then MGM's bankruptcy. Thank the Old Gods that it eventually came out (the 3D wasn't necessary at all), but I'm sort of glad Thor was released to theaters first as it provides fodder for a hilarious riff of Hemsworth during the keg scene ("ANOTHER!") that I always say no matter how many times I watch the film. Not that the film deserves riffing, as it's pretty close to perfection in my opinion, but is one of those movies that can take it (and take it well) even though riffing is not required.
Quick shoutout to Sigourney Weaver who makes a late game cameo not unlike her role in Pegg and Frost's Paul. It's a last minute treat that sends the movie over the top, I think.
And... that's pretty much it.
An entire year of Netflix: movies, series, documentaries, three hundred and sixty-five days of media all delivered over the internet at, what, nine bucks a month? I spent a hundred and eight dollars (plus electricity) for my daily doses of television and film. Sure, there was plenty of content that I wanted to see which never hit the Stream or dropped off before I could get to it, but there were also tooooons of episodes and movies that I never blogged about... usually binges of MLP:FiM or Phineas & Ferb, Cosmos (before it left) or MacGyver.
Good times.
I think I'll do a retrospective of some sort tomorrow... but, tonight? It's time to party. A full YEAR of Netflix. Wow. Kind of tearing up a little.
Thanks for reading, Potatoes~

Brad Rock: Emphatic victory icing on a cake of a week for Jason Kreis
caleb in new york Glen Cove, NYMarch 28, 2011 9:22 a.m.
I liked the idea I read on the bigsoccer message board that RSL ought to retire a really cool necktie in honor of Kreis's achievements as a coach. Kreis had an outstanding MLS career as a player for FCDallas. His achievements as a player for RSL over his 2+ seasons with RSL don't justify retiring his jersey number for RSL. To retire a jersey for a coach's achievements seems out-of-place to me, even if it were basketball or football. A coach doesn't usually wear a jersey while he coaches.
Vince Clortho S_SPRINGS, UTMarch 28, 2011 8:41 a.m.
European soccer has more history/tradition, but retiring #s is a good US tradition. I'm all for it...
Nussdorfer AC Salt Lake City, UTMarch 27, 2011 3:09 p.m.
A bit odd to retire the number, but Kreis deserves the accolades.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - George C. Scott, whose eagle-like profile and commanding, gravel-voiced demeanor brought life to Gen. George S. Patton and earned him an Oscar he refused to accept, has died. He was 71.
Scott died Wednesday, Pat Mahoney, wife of Scott's publicist, Jim Mahoney, said Thursday.
Scott died at his home in Westlake Village in Ventura County, about 40 miles northwest of Los Angeles.
She said she didn't know the cause of death. ``They just found him and are trying to find out what happened,'' she said. ``He was on again, off again for a while. He just expired.''
The answering service for the Ventura County Coroner's office confirmed Scott had died but had no other information. The coroner planned to release a statement this morning, County Sheriff's Sgt. Paul Higgason said.
Scott captivated audiences in roles ranging from the dangerously explosive, yet sympathetic Patton in 1970 to the fatuous blowhard Gen. Buck Turgidson in Stanley Kubrick's 1964 film ``Dr. Strangelove.''
The two were opposite ends of a spectrum of his memorable film characters: the shark on the sidelines who tries to devour Paul Newman in ``The Hustler''; the high-powered ringer brought in to steamroller small-town lawyer James Stewart in ``Anatomy of a Murder''; the dedicated doctor ground down by red tape and institutional incompetence in ``The Hospital.''
On television, he etched a gritty portrait of a social worker fighting a tide of urban misery in the television series ``East Side/West Side.''
On stage, when at age 68 Scott rose from a sickbed to star in the 1996 Broadway revival of ``Inherit the Wind,'' one critic said it was like watching a horse buggy powered by a Ferrari engine.
In private life, he was for years a bellicose drinker whose profile was marked by a nose broken five times, in four barroom brawls and one mugging. He was married five times - twice to the same woman, actress Colleen Dewhurst.
When Scott played in ``Plaza Suite'' in 1968, co-star Maureen Stapleton and director Mike Nichols had this reported exchange at rehearsal:
Stapleton: ``I'm so frightened of George, I don't know what to do.''
Nichols: ``My dear, the whole world is frightened of George.''
With his highly publicized rejection of the Academy Award more than a decade in the future, Scott mopped up nearly every prize in sight for eye-catching performances when he hit the New York stage in 1957 and 1958.
He had spent seven years in the sticks, playing stock and living on menial jobs, preparing for the breakthrough that came when he was 30 years old and caught the eye of Joseph Papp, impresario of the New York Shakespeare Festival.
In rapid succession, the unknown Scott played the title role in ``Richard III'' in November 1957, Jacques in ``As You Like It'' in January 1958 and a poisoning peer in the off-Broadway ``Children of Darkness'' in March 1958.
For his work in all three productions he received the off-Broadway best actor Obie and a Theatre World award as a ``promising personality.'' For the Shakespeare performances, he won a Clarence Derwent Award as most promising actor and a Vernon Rice Award for contribution to off-Broadway theater.
Later the same year, his Broadway debut in ``Comes a Day'' was recognized with the first of what would be four Tony Award nominations. The others were for ``The Andersonville Trial'' in 1959, ``Uncle Vanya'' in 1974 and ``Death of a Salesman,'' which he also directed, in 1975.
Over his career he also won a second Obie, two television Emmys out of five nominations and was nominated for Oscars four times.
The movie roles that established his fame and provided the money to continue doing theater began in 1959 with the role of a charismatic loony who stirs up a lynch mob against Gary Cooper in ``The Hanging Tree.''
The same year, ``Anatomy of a Murder'' brought his first Academy Award nomination. He said nothing about it.
When he was nominated again in 1962, for ``The Hustler,'' he wired the academy ``no thanks.'' The academy did not withdraw his name, but he didn't win either.
Scott said later that he did not think he'd ever again be nominated and regretted only that ``I wasn't able to shock the academy into doing something constructive'' about what he viewed as a meaningless popularity contest.
The academy ignored his withdrawal again in 1970 and gave Scott the best-actor Oscar, to go along with Golden Globe and New York Film Critics honors, for ``Patton.'' The movie, a favorite of President Nixon, received seven Academy Awards. Scott said he spent the evening watching hockey.
His last nomination was for ``The Hospital'' in 1971. A score of movies would follow, including ``The Savage Is Loose,'' which Scott produced, directed and starred in with his fourth wife, Trish Van Devere, in 1974. It flopped and Scott lost his shirt.
His first Emmy nomination was for a Ben Casey episode called ``I Remember a Lemon Tree'' in 1961.
The others came during the years between his two short-lived TV series, the critically acclaimed ``East Side/West Side'' in 1963-64 and a sitcom, ``Mr. President,'' in 1987-88.

Best Place for Whale Watching in the San Juan Islands Washington
One of the many really cool things about living here in the San Juan Islands is our Orca Whale population. We have both resident whales and transient whales and if you know where to go and when, the chances of seeing them are very good. Even if you don't have your own boat many whale watching tours are available.
Whales and Sails
Ken and I were fortunate enough to come across three separate pods a single day while transiting and fishing along the West side of San Juan Island, near Lime Kiln State Park. We had just finished fishing and were heading North toward Roche Harbor, when I noticed that whales were spouting all around us! We immediately shut down the motor and attempted to navigate out of their way, but were enthralled with all the whales about the boat. We were under sail and the whales were travelling right along with us. Try as we might to move away from the whales, some of them seemed very interested in us and kept close.
Our boat is thirty-two feet long and I always felt that was a pretty good size, but when one of the Orcas surfaced about 15 feet from our boat, I felt pretty small. This was my first time actually seeing whales (does Shamu count?) and I was just awe-inspired. There was not much breaching, but there were so many of them all around, it was incredible. Our trip with the whales lasted about an hour and as quickly as they arrived, they were gone.
Whale watching in Washington
There are many opportunities to spot whales throughout the San Juan Islands. Most of our trips along the West side of San Juan Island have resulted in whale sightings, but your best and most assured way would be to go on a whale watching tour boat, of which there are many. Most of these tours guarantee sightings so your chances of seeing the whales are much better than if you are out in your own boat. We've been very lucky and have seen whales as near as Guemes channel as well as out in the Straights of Juan de Fucha. Sometimes though, you just have to be there at the right place and at the right time.
There are specific whale watching regulations, so please make sure that you know these and observe them carefully. Following these regulations is imperative to ensure the health and well-being of these incredible animals.
Best places to see whales
Lime Kiln state park on San Juan Island is probably the best place to see both our resident whales, those in J, K, & L pod as well as transient whales. Visitors to this park have the opportunity to view whales within twenty feet of the shore. There have been sightings off of Washington Park in Anacortes, where whales can be seen both from boats and on the shore. Sucia Island is also another good spot for whales, you can see them from many of the hiking trails, and the transient whales have been spotted feeding on seals there. Whales also travel around Cypress Island and we spotted some whale watching tour boats following a pod of whales on one of our sailing trips.
The opportunity for whale watching is available most anywhere in the San Juan Islands and if you have your own boat, or are very lucky you will see them sooner or later. If you want to see them sooner, then the best bet is to book a tour and have fun!

Qualitative short-term effects of cyanide and heavy metal pollution on phytoplankton and periphyton in the Rivers Tisza and Szamos (Hungary).

In early spring 2000, two incidents of bursting dams in the mines Baia Mare and Baia Borsa (Romania) produced peak amounts of cyanide (32 mg 1-1) and heavy metals (mostly lead [2.9 mg 1-1 in April], copper [18 mg 1-1 in February and 0.86 mg 1-1 in April] and zinc [0.95 mg 1-1 in February and 2.9 mg 1-1 in April] - data at the Romanian-Hungarian border section). A major fish kill and severe damage of benthos populations resulted. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the accident on planktonic and periphytic algae. Apart from detailed taxonomic information, diversity, evenness and diatom indices, chlorophyll-a analysis, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (TXRF), spectral analysis and SEM were applied. While transient damage of periphyton, especially the sensitive Chladophora glomerata, could be detected in the River Tisza, the phytoplankton did not respond. Flooding may have prevented effects by dilution. The problems related to algae as suitable biota for immediate spill effects are discussed.
cyanide pollution • heavy metal pollution • effect on phytoplankton - periphyton • pigment analysis • TXRF analysis • River Szamos • River Tisza

The Detroit Red Wings have been bouncing between Jimmy Howard and Petr Mrazek for the better part of the last two years. Neither goaltender has managed to establish himself as the No. 1 option for more than a month or two, and it seems like when one cools off, the other one gets hot at just the right time.
That pattern has established itself yet again in 2016-17, with Howard rediscovering the form that allowed him to be Detroit's top netminder for six seasons. Entering the campaign, it seemed likely that general manager Ken Holland would try to find a trade partner to take on Howard.
With the expansion draft looming this summer and the Red Wings in need of cap relief, that deal never materialized. And, truth be told, that has worked out in Detroit's favor so far this season. Howard has been outstanding through 12 appearances, posting an even-strength save percentage of 94.31 (adjusted for score and venue) while going 5-5.
The 32-year-old was injured on Nov. 25 against the New Jersey Devils, however, which thrusts Mrazek into the bonafide starter role for at least a week or two. Losing Howard while he had been playing so well is a pretty big negative, and there's no telling how long it'll take for him to round back into form after being placed on the seven-day injured reserve over the weekend.
#RedWings will place Jimmy Howard on seven day IR with groin injury and recall Jared Coreau from @griffinshockey
— Ansar Khan (@AnsarKhanMLive) November 26, 2016
Groin injuries can be tricky for goalies, and head coach Jeff Blashill has stated that he expects Howard to be out for a minimum of one week. He's already missed one contest due to the tweak–Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Montreal Canadiens–and Mrazek will start, at the very least, Detroit's next three games.
And that's the best-case scenario of Howard returning from IR the first day he is eligible. If Howard remains injured through early December, we could see Jared Coreau come off the bench for at least one start.
That's because the Red Wings play three times in the first four days of December, including a back-to-back road stints against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Dec. 3 and the New York Islanders on Dec. 4. Dec. 3 will be the seventh day that Howard is listed on the injured reserve, and he might not be ready to go just yet.
After playing three games in four days to open the month, the Red Wings will have one day off before heading to Winnipeg to take on the Jets. That would mark the 10th day of Howard being on the shelf. Based on what we know about his injury — including the initial 10-to-15 day timeframe that was reported by Elliotte Friedman and the language Blashill has used — this seems like the earliest Howard would be able to return.
That creates an incredibly difficult stretch of five games; three on the road, and three coming against Eastern Conference teams. This will be a monster test for the 10-10-2 Red Wings, not just because of the Howard injury, but because of how banged up they are up and down the lineup.
Detroit can't get through a game without losing a player it seems, and it lost Tyler Bertuzzi and Brendan Smith, replacements for options who were already hurt, over the weekend as well. The good news is that the Red Wings are still within shouting distance of a Wild Card spot, but teams contending for those two slots are packed like sardines. There's very little room for error, and the standings could look quite different once Howard returns from his injury.
The shape of Detroit's record very much rests in the hands of Mrazek, who Blashill recently characterized as a big-game goalie, telling Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News the following:
"I'd call him a 'money' goalie; he's usually risen the opportunity and the moment. We need him to rise the moment and here's a good window of opportunity for him to come in and play great."
Howard was able to get into so many games because Mrazek has struggled for a majority of this season. He has been absolutely average at even strength, and his 92.23 save percentage (adjusted for score and venue) is good for 30th overall among goalies who have played at least 200 minutes this season.
Not particularly brutal, but not particularly effective either. The Red Wings need to win one or two of their upcoming games because of outstanding goaltending, and they simply can't afford to lose because Mrazek has an off night. He appeared ready to rise to the task on Nov. 26 against Montreal, where he allowed one regulation goal before losing in overtime.
The first shot that beat Mrazek on the night was a deflection by Brendan Gallagher, and that could be pinned on Ryan Sproul, who was boxed out in front of his own net right as the puck got there. Then the overtime winner came on a two-on-one rush, with two Red Wings caught up ice as Alex Galchenyuk and Alexander Radulov barreled toward Mrazek.
He made 22 saves all told, several of the high-danger variety, and gave the Red Wings every chance to win. Mrazek can't score the goals, but he has a tall task of preventing them with games against the Dallas Stars and Penguins coming down the pipe. Also on the docket is a highly-motivated Florida Panthers club that just fired their head coach and an Islanders team that is trying to get their season back on the rails before it's too late.
Coming into the 2016-17 season, Mrazek had been pegged as the Red Wings' go-to goalie. It's time for him to earn those stripes now.

Rough Edges
Yes, that's me bringing some wood to the campfire; my tomahawk is carried on my belt. Having a pioneer mentality, being a male with a Ph. D. in a hard physical science makes my having many, many "rough edges" no surprise. In the domain of culture, I admit freely to having none until recent years. The only bit that I had was due to a course requirement in the humanities at Harvard College. I fulfilled that one by taking a famous course [Humanities 3] in Greek literature by Prof. John Finley. That distribution requirement did work, though, as it exposed me to a crack of light from a universe of culture that I would have otherwise never recognized existed. War.
How does a guy smooth out his rough edges? Read. Learn. How?
Courses in the humanities by the Teaching Company help: see http://www.teach12.com/. My current course is "Classics of British Literature". There are plenty of good courses on music, art, philosophy and literature available from them.
Read BOOKS. The Internet is a culture wasteland - you don't know what you are seeing unless from a reliable source. Classic books provide reliable places to learn culture, places that have endured decades, centuries or millenia.
Read good literary magazines. I expanded my magazine universe over the past two years and can recommend two: Lapham's Quarterly and The Paris Review. The former provides great writing from classical and even recent authors on gathered on particular subjects - the current issue is titled, "The City". The Paris Review offers good selections of current fiction and poetry. You need someone to select good material for you, or you will waste huge amounts of time with junk. The editors of these two quarterly journals do a good job, in my "humble" opinion ;)
Learn a foreign language - at least to be "literate" in it. Fluency is very, very hard to achieve as an adult, but literacy is doable and gives you the cultural exposure you need. I suggest Italian or French or both. Both have much great original literature in the language and are often used in English writing in snippets.
If you devote an hour a day to this program, in a couple years you'll have enough culture to not seem to be a troglodyte or a barbarian.
Word of the Day
"Belletristic" - adjective [$1000]; "Belletrist" - noun [$1000] and "belles-lettres" - substantive, plural [$10]
Belles-lettres means elegant or polite literature or literary studies.
Belletristic means of or pertaining to belles-lettres.
Belletrist means one devoted to belles-lettres.Sentence: Being a wee bit literate in Italian or French helps one read belletristic English language writings, as quite often quotes or epigrams in those languages appea

Pity the poor voters of East Baton Rouge Parish who have to plow through the legalese of the proposition on the Dec. 6 ballot relating to the city-parish Plan of Government. It's almost unreadable, but having looked behind the opaque language, we believe parish voters ought to agree to the proposal.
The reorganization of the Department of Public Works involves a great deal more than can be gleaned from the ballot language.
DPW is by far the largest city-parish department and one that has for a long time defied anything that can be called management. DPW directors, including current Chief Administrative Officer William Daniel, have found themselves besieged with decisions and paperwork for a wide variety of functions, from building inspections to transportation and drainage to fleet maintenance for vehicles.
But what has provoked Daniel and Mayor-President Kip Holden to undertake an extensive DPW reorganization is the challenge of the $1.5 billion sewer program mandated by the U.S. government. When complete, this massive project will require operation and maintenance of a computerized system of pipes and pumps — a higher level of sophistication than DPW is used to.
Further, as Daniel and legions of complaining citizens have testified, accountability for performance or lack thereof is difficult in such a sprawling DPW operation.
The fruit of meetings over two years, the DPW organization plan will separate the six functions into their own offices. Managers of each function will be able to make decisions more quickly and to more closely monitor responses to problems and complaints, under the general direction of the Mayor-President's Office.
The Baton Rouge Area Chamber has endorsed the plan, calling it an overdue streamlining of the bureaucracy that can stand in the way of construction and transportation projects vital to the area's economic competitiveness.
We believe Daniel, in particular, has earned some credibility by pushing DPW out of the pencil-and-paper bureaucracy of the past. This new plan is going to require, though, a great deal of oversight by not only the Metro Council but the public going forward. But it needs the approval of voters, and we recommend they give it. Early voting begins Saturday.

Tarhonya is small dried Hungarian egg pasta similar to couscous. It's browned in butter giving it a nutty flavor before cooking in broth and served as a side dish with stews, meats, paprikash and sausage. Available in some supermarkets in the pasta section or in stores that specialize in European pantry staples it's a nice change from the usual potato or rice side dish to accompany heartier winter dishes that feature lots of sauce or gravy.
The basic cooking method follows and is delicious served plain just topped with a pat of butter and lots of fresh cracked black pepper, but add-ins such as ½ cup of finely chopped onions, mushrooms or any other vegetable can be added near the end of the browning process before adding the broth. Chopped fresh herbs (parsley is very good) and garlic are also common additions.
1 cup tarhonya
2 tablespoons butter
1½ to 2 cups chicken broth
Brown the tarhonya in butter until golden brown over medium-low heat stirring frequently to avoid scorching.
Add enough broth to slightly cover the pasta, stir and cover with a lid. Reduce heat to low and simmer stirring occasionally. The tarhonya should absorb all of the liquid and become tender, but not sticky or mushy. Add a small amount of additional liquid as needed until tender. When cooked through, remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes before serving.

ATLANTA -- The driver of a pickup truck was killed Thursday when he collided head-on with a school bus, sending about 30 students to area hospitals, police said.
None of the injuries to the students was thought to be life threatening.
Grady Memorial Hospital said it received 16 students, listing one of those in fair condition and the other 15 in satisfactory.
Fulton County Police officer Gary Syblis said it was the second accident involving the pickup truck in a short period of time.
He said the truck struck a car at an intersection, causing a four-car accident, then he fled the scene and crashed into the bus carrying students from McNair Middle School in south Fulton County.
The name of the 23-year-old truck driver wasn't released immediately.
Syblis said some other students were taken to Southern Regional Hospital.
The accident happened about 3 p.m. Police said it may have been a case of DUI, but the accident remains under investigation.
Man charged with enticing child via e-mail
DOUGLASVILLE -- An Austell man has been charged with enticing a child for indecent purposes after police said he tried to meet a 12-year-old girl he had contacted through the Internet.
James Nicholas Joiner, 20, was arrested Wednesday at Deerlick Park, Douglas County Chief Deputy Stan Copeland said. Joiner had arranged to meet the girl at the park, which investigators staked out, Copeland said.
Joiner was in jail Thursday on a $50,000 cash-only bond.
The girl's parents contacted authorities after they noticed she had been receiving ''disturbing e-mails'' from someone she met online.
An investigator posing as the girl began sending the man e-mails online and arranged to meet him at the park, police said.
Copeland said authorities obtained a warrant to search Joiner's home in Cobb County, where they seized his computer. Investigators are examining computer files to determine whether Joiner contacted any other minors.
March rains not enough to end dry conditions
ATHENS -- Despite a wet March that brought temporary relief from the drought, extremely dry conditions have returned to Georgia with little chance of immediate relief, the state climatologist said Thursday.
Climatologist David Stooksbury said Georgia -- now in its fourth year of drought -- has received little rain in nearly 50 days, leaving deficits of 4.39 inches at Athens, 3.18 at Atlanta, 3.14 at Augusta, 3.76 at Columbus, 0.87 at Macon and 4.20 at Savannah.
Streams are extremely low, farmers have to irrigate to get their spring crops to grow, homeowners face a continuation of water restrictions and the Georgia Forestry Commission rates the wildfire danger as high to extreme over most of southeast and northeast Georgia.
Stooksbury said there are early indications the summer will be hotter than normal and soil-moisture loss may increase the drought's severity.

We are lucky enough to live in a time of restaurant saturation. There are tons of places to eat in most American locales. Hell, if my unscientific observations and drunken calculations are accurate, there are actually three point two seven (3.27) pizza places for every adult in the State of New Jersey.
There is a grey cloud to this silver lining though. It seems everyone eats out more than ever and has opinions to share on the subject. Any dull, cocktail party has some turn of conversation that leads to folks recommending dinner places without solicitation and regaling you with glorious tales of mediocre chow. Ugghh!
Consequently, I've started to note certain words, phrases, and prefaces that set off warning sirens in my brain - spreading imaginary, yellow, "Caution: Do Not Enter" tape across the front door. So far, these have proven pretty good "tells":
"They have the BIGGEST portions!"
"It's my kids' favorite."
"They don't even HAVE vermouth." (Usually, detours into a vodka conversation . . . ."
"Make sure you try the fried calamari." (This one may be pretty NJ-centric, but it's become almost as ubiquitous a restaurant offering as tap water. Not sure why it's such a good trigger that the person speaking doesn't know much . . . .)
Anyway, you get the just. Are there things you hear from folks that make you rethink trying the spots they suggest?

My mtDNA haplogroup came up as H1. Thank you for any assistance. Sherri
You are comparing the results of two autosomal reports. These reports are based on genetic markers spread out on all your chromosomes except X (and Y, but since you are female you don't have one). I have compared the accuracy of autosomal reports, and AncestryDNA is not particularly good. I think that 23andMe's results are more realistic, but still not perfectly accurate.
As for mtDNA it has nothing to do with the percentages you posted here. MtDNA is the DNA of mitochondria, organelles found inside our body's cells, but which is completely separate from our 23 pairs of chromosomes. MtDNA is only used to trace back ancestry from mother to mother (single line of ancestors), and it can only inform you about very distant ancestry, i.e. where you ancestors came from 4,000 to 10,000 years ago. I think that DNA testing companies, and especially FTDNA, are often deceiving customers to believe that it is useful to determine recent ancestry, which is a blatant lie. Just forget about mtDNA. It's useful to track the movement of prehistoric populations, but that's it.

Le Tallec snubbed Hearts
Anthony Le Tallec claims Hearts offered him 'crazy money' to move to Tynecastle before the transfer deadline.
By Mark Buckingham
Last Updated: 06/09/07 9:34am
Anthony Le Tallec claims Hearts offered him 'crazy money' to move to Tynecastle before the close of the transfer window.
The Liverpool attacker joined Le Mans on a season-long loan last week, having also been given the opportunity to head to Scotland.
Le Tallec says Hearts' offer was the more financially lucrative, but he wanted to return to France for 'sporting' reasons.
"I was all set to leave for Scotland and join Hearts on August 31, but I got a phone call from Le Mans' coach Rudi Garcia and I liked what he had to say," Le Tallec told Football365.fr.
"Was I tempted to go to Scotland? I preferred to favour the sporting perspective and I've proved it by joining Le Mans.
"Had I gone to Scotland it would have been for another reason. From the financial point of view, Hearts were offering me crazy money.
"But I'm not thinking about the money. I want to put myself in the shop window and I'll get plenty of publicity at Le Mans."
The former France Under 21 international has barely featured for Liverpool since Rafa Benitez took over as manager, and has also been on loan at St Etienne, Sunderland and Sochaux.
