Staff report
CONWAY, Ark. — The former chancellor at The University of North Carolina at Pembroke and former president of the University of Central Arkansas pleaded guilty recently to violating the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act. The charge, which was related to destroying a public document in 2011, was a misdemeanor.
According to the Log Cabin Democrat, Allen Meadors originally was charged with tampering with a public record, also a misdemeanor. As a result of his plea, he ended litigation and was fined $250.
Meadors' charge stemmed from a long-running investigation into a possible mishandling of a "grant" proposed by Aramark food vendor that was placed before university trustees in 2011, according to the Log Cabin. A $700,000 proposal to extend renovations of the UCA president's residence was presented without strings attached by then board of trustees Chairman Scott Roussel.
In the Aug. 12, 2011, letter, Aramark's Brad Crosson wrote to Vice President for Finance and Administration Diane Newton about an "unrestricted grant" to renovate the president's home. In exchange, the company asked UCA to agree to "an extension of our contract by seven years, to May 31, 2019, and request buyback protection."
Newton reportedly told news outlets previously that Meadors asked her to destroy the letter.
Meadors resigned as president of the university in September 2011 after trustees learned that Aramark's offer was contingent upon a seven-year contractual agreement in which Aramark would be UCA's sole food service provider. UCA agreed to pay Meadors more than $500,000 and another $225,325 from separate funds to buy out the remainder of his contract, the Log Cabin said.
According to the Log Cabin, Meadors said that in 17 years in the education community that he "had never been more disappointed," and he apologized, taking full responsibility for the "oversight that has caused disappointment and concern."
Although Meadors has resolved his issue with the university over the food service contract, his troubles continue. A recent article in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette reported that he was found to have viewed enough online pornography while still university president to cost the university almost $1,000 in data usage in one week.
The Echo, the university's student newspaper, reported that Meadors used up almost $1,000 in UCA-paid data plans on a university iPad in one week while overseas. While president, he made three trips to China and one to Mexico.
According to reports, at the time AT&T data plans cost $199 a month for 200 megabytes. Meadors used fives times that much in one week.
According to the article in the Gazette, UCA Director of Web Development Brent Passmore said "e-mail and regular surfing of the web would not consume that many megabytes" and that Meadors's browsing history included visits to Mr. Skin, a website for celebrity photos and videos.
Meadors served as chancellor at UNCP from 1999 until he resigned in June 2009 to become president of the University of Central Arkansas, where he attended college as an undergrad. During his time at UNCP, he developed a reputation for his ability to understand the diversity and history of the university, brought football back to UNCP after a 50-year absence and UNCP doubled in the number of staff, faculty and students.

The reason is that mew was originally supposed to be a secret, even unknown to many people in nintendo. So to keep it a secret they had it last in the pokedex. It wouldnt be a secret if there was a space in the pokedex going from 149(dragonite) to a space(mew) to 151 (mewtwo). So they did it to hide mew's existence until it was revealed and released as an event. Another reason is that mew is event exclusive and all event exclusive Pokemon come last in the pokedex for their respective generation with the exception of vicitni. Source: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mew
The pokedex was just designed this way. They were both introduced in Gen I and the order does not always have to be perfect. Otherwise Arceus should be #001 in the pokedex.
Scientists couldn't prove Mew was real until they successfully cloned it, so Mewtwo was recorded first.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Having had a mastectomy in July 2005, I was prescribed Tamoxifen. I am having difficulty in finding any information on the side effects [of this drug] in men. I appreciate that we are a small number [of all breast cancer patients], but information for breast cancer in men is limited. Can you please advise on any side effects of Tamoxifen in men?
Carolyn Vachani RN, MSN, AOCN, OncoLink's Nurse Educator, responds:
Tamoxifen is generally accepted as the standard of care for adjuvant systemic hormonal therapy (that is, therapy given in addition to local treatment, such as surgery and/or radiation) in breast cancer. Tamoxifen improves survival rates in women with estrogen receptor-positive cancer, and since male breast cancer is hormone receptor-positive in about 90% of cases, hormonal therapy in men makes sense. There are few, if any, randomized clinical trials that have assessed tamoxifen use in men. However, several retrospective studies (which look back on patient records) have compared outcomes, and these found significant benefit to therapy. In one study, the 5-year survival rate (39 male patients with stage II and III disease) was 61%, compared with 44% in men not taking tamoxifen. In the available studies, men received tamoxifen for only 1 to 2 years. Since we know that trials in women have shown the optimum length of tamoxifen therapy to be 5 years, we may actually be underestimating the benefit of tamoxifen in men, as it might be even better if taken for 5 years.
A recently published trial looked at 135 cases of male breast cancer, 38 of whom received hormonal therapy (some also received chemotherapy). Thirty-five of these patients received tamoxifen. Overall, the study found a 51% lower risk of recurrence in men who received tamoxifen versus those who did not. With almost 14 years of follow up, this study found a 55% lower risk of death in those men who took tamoxifen.
The toxicities of tamoxifen in men have not been well studied, but one researcher followed 24 men on tamoxifen and found the following side effects. The most common was a decrease in libido or sex drive, which occurred in 7 patients (or 29.2%); followed by weight gain (6 pts. or 25%); hot flashes (5 pts. or 20.8%); mood alterations (5 pts. or 20.8%); depression (4 pts. or 16.6%); insomnia (3 pts. or 12.5%); and deep venous thrombosis (blood clots)(1 pt. or 4.2%). Five (20.8%) patients stopped therapy with tamoxifen in less than 1 year because of these side effects. Of these patients, 2 had decreased libido, two had hot flashes, and one suffered deep venous thrombosis. In contrast to female patients, in which 4% stop therapy due to side effects, men stop therapy at a rate of 20.8%, according to this study.

1. | drumline | ||
The section of the band that is always misunderstood. They DO know how to read music (yeah drummers in the band also play mallet instruments in concerts, what a concept) and have the most challenging music, but band is NOT their life. They have to master playing 50+ different insturments, which is why most people find it so fun. Band directors usually blame the drumline for their problems.

the best part of the band who can infact read music! *gasp* shocker, I know. And are NOT all guys. -_- Man, did you hear our kick ass drumline last night?
3. | drumline | ||
Not a movie,let me reiterate, the movie drumline does not give a correct or accurate representation of drumline.
Drumlines are the backbone of a marching band and work the hardest making every not perfect. They do not dance around like gay homo's in the movie. People in drum corps drumline's are the best. "Our drumline kicks ass"
"Lets go watch the cadets drumline in the parking lot" |
4. | drumline | ||
Best thing that ever happened to the band. Consists of skilled musicians who dispite rumors can actually read music. Mesmorize crowds with our awesome beats (haha beats) and kick ass rythms. "Yo man you heard the seabreeze drumline yet?" "Yeah dawg they off the chain"
5. | drumline | ||
1. Section of a marching band that marches while playing percussion and plays the cadence while marching onto the field for a competition
2. An awful movie with a whore core for a colorguard 1. The drumline is playing the cadence. They sound cool.
2. I just watched Drumline. Nick Cannon makes me want to cut myself. |
6. | drumline | ||
The coolest guys in your school...period. The drumline is cooler than the starting qurterback, the stoner, and Russel Crowe combined.
7. | drumline | ||
the best, most awesome section of the band who are always hot and know how to read music (yeah they really do, get over it) Are you sure the drumline is with the marching band?

With her Book Cook's class, she may be well on her way. Each week, Isabella searches for easy to follow recipes and ideas (within the class budget) to teach children ranging from pre-K up until the fourth grade.
Isabella Miranda began teaching Book Cook's in October of last year. Her mother encouraged her to pursue her love of cooking and use it as curriculum in her home schooling.
In the first class, she taught about Columbus Day and created her own hummus in a red pepper sailboat.
"I love the whole process of teaching," Miranda said. "Planning everything out and picking the themes and after we finish cooking, reading related books while we eat."
Isabella is often baking cakes from scratch. Her favorite cooking experience, she said, is creating a four-course meal every year for her mother, Renee's birthday. Although Isabella came from a long line of cooks, she admits that she still cannot make a soufflé.
When Isabella isn't cooking or teaching, she finds herself mostly reading. "Every room in our house has a library," Miranda said. "There are even two large shelves full of cookbooks in the kitchen."
Today, Isabella Miranda is sharing her latest curriculum related recipes of "Vegetarian Chicken Noodle Soup" and "Snowman Bagels."
The Book Cook's class covers over three fun creations for only $10 per child (only $5 per additional sibling). Leftover money goes to the "Backpack Buddies" program that allows children with assisted lunch to have food to take home for the weekends. For more information on Book Cook's, email Renee at firstname.lastname@example.com.
To nominate someone to be featured as Cook of the Week, email Tasha at firstname.lastname@example.com

What is the common approach to using a stored procedure within a spring & hibernate mix?
This is what Im currently implementing and just wanted some general feedback:
1) I implemented a class that extended the StoredProcedure class.
2) I created a DAO that extends HibernateDaoSupport and inject the dao impl with a datasource object and session factory object. I do this because the class that implements the StoredProcedure class requires a datasource passed into the constructor, plus I didnt think I should call it directly from the service class.
3) To call the stored procedure, I have a method in the DAO that will be called from within a service object.
Is this a good approach?

Manchester United will lock horns with Jose Mourinho's Madrid outfit in the Champions League at Old Trafford on Tuesday night.
Owen is anticipating a closely-contested affair, but he thinks Ferguson will be confident he can lead his team to European glory for a third time.
"Sir Alex Ferguson at the minute has got one of the best teams he has ever assembled," Owen told Sky Sports. "He will be thinking what a waste if we don't win another Champions League in the next few years.
"This year his team are pretty healthy, no main players are injured, they are in good form and everything is perfect in the United camp at the moment and you have to take advantage."
Owen does not anticipate any players will freeze in what is a huge clash.
"Playing in big games, that is what it is all about," he said. "A lot of these United players have come through from an early age and they have played in some of the biggest games, likewise in the Madrid team. From the outside you can think the pressure is too much but this is another game.
"They will get that tingle in the stomach, it is big, but once the whistle goes they will use that to drive them on."
Owen feels that Cristiano Ronaldo will have to be marked closely.
"Ronaldo is the best player on the pitch, so he has to be stopped," he said.
"You can't always stop him and you just have to quieten him down but I'm sure if you ask him if Real don't win the title he would want United to win. But he is not going to be upset if he scores a goal, that is what he is paid to do."
Owen cannot see Ferguson going for a defensive approach.
"They are different types of managers, from the outside Mourinho looks quite astute, tactical and more defensive minded than Sir Alex," he said.
"Sir Alex just has utter belief in his team that they will out score anyone and he has always had an entertaining team that plays wingers and strikers and it is in his blood to be attacking, whereas Mourinho is more cautious."

Nine marine contractors attended a pre-bid meeting Wednesday, April 29 about two permeable, adjustable-type groins that will be built behind The Islander Club to counteract the faster-than-usual erosion of beach in that area.
The meeting gave the contractors a chance to ask questions together in an open forum before offering competitive bids for the project.
The town of Longboat Key intends to select a contractor as soon as possible, because the unique timetable for the project will require the contractor to prepare for months in advance. The town hopes to begin construction for the project no later than Nov. 1.
For more information about the meeting, pick up a copy of the Thursday, May 7 Longboat Observer.

The NFL's international committee has approved the Bills' plans to continue their partnership with Rogers Communications through 2017.
A final deal has yet to be reached between the two sides, though both the Bills and Rogers have said they're optimistic an extension deal will be reached.
Bills CEO Russ Brandon says in a statement, "The International Committee's decision to approve the continuation of our games in Toronto is a crucial step in our ongoing efforts to regionalize our franchise. As we have stated on many occasions, the regionalization process remains vital to keeping our franchise strong in Western New York. We are continuing our discussions with Rogers Communications on a new deal and remain optimistic that we can come to an agreement in the near future."
A source tells the Toronto Sun the extension will be "significantly" less lucrative for the Bills. As a result, NFL fans in Ontario and Western New York can expect ticket prices to be lower than they have been in previous years. Rogers has received immense criticism for the high prices of tickets to Bills-in-Toronto games.

"Freedom is dying from the acute onset of apathy."
— Bradd Davidson
I am not sure what all of the issues are concerning Gregg Henson's demise on WOWO's 3-6 p.m. time slot. I would hope that it is all not as simple as the "Humbarger" incident.
The margins from running a radio station in a market the size of Fort Wayne are not stellar, and the attempts made by Henson (and the management of Federated Media) to expand the listening base to the "local local local" radio show are, or were, well-intended.
The problems began when the politics and social approaches of the host were less than accepted by the listening populace. Kind of like getting a new wallet. It holds all your stuff, but when you put it in your back pocket, it just does not feel right.
I listen to WOWO frequently and have contributed to all of the content, but in all the time I have listened, nobody, neither the callers nor the hosts of the shows, have changed my mind about anything. They have gotten me to think and consider but ultimately have only gotten me to be more resolved in my original thought. Here in "fly-over country" people are pretty steadfast in their beliefs, and whether they are liberal or conservative it takes a lot of effort to change one's mind.
Nobody but a newspaper reporter/editor would know that more clearly. A commentator on the evening news said it best when talking about the differences between a newspaper and the broadcast media. Howard K. Smith asked his father, "Why do you keep reading the newspaper when you have so much broadcast media to provide you the news?"
His father responded, "When I read the newspaper, I am my own editor. If I begin to read an article that annoys or does not interest me, I stop reading and move on. If I read something that interests me then I both get more in-depth information and I can make it a point to follow that story so to continue and educate myself, as best I can, from the information provided me by the reporter. Radio and television do not offer me that luxury."
Please forgive me, the quotes I provided are from my best memory of what Smith telecast one evening some 30-plus years ago, but it is the essence of the story that matters here. For WOWO and Henson, it was an experiment that was ill-timed at best. Talk radio is highly charged for the upcoming 2012 elections, and trying to take what was once a more clearly defined political segment of the local programming time to something more the likes of dealing with social issues (which Henson professed to avoid but delved into constantly) leaves the listener at odds.
Let's not forget that Pat White was summarily terminated after some number of years to be replaced in favor of what WOWO said was "programming more focused on politics, which Pat White was not willing to do." I am not sure that was the real story as internal politics of radio stations are the likes of what goes on in the White House. But I listened to White pretty regularly, and while he had his annoyances, he did, indeed, delve into national and local politics when they mattered and was able to keep a "local local local" audience at hand.
He had local politicians on his program quite frequently, so the reason for removing White did not hold water. Thankfully, he has landed new digs, and I listen to him as time/interest permits.
I would be remiss to not say that Pat Miller did a fine job of covering politics. He maintained that conservative standpoint that is the base within the listening area of WOWO. Where Miller got off track was bringing personal religion/beliefs into the program on a too-frequent basis. There is no better way of starting a fight than to bring up politics or religion in the presence of friends.
Where religion is concerned, you lose even when you win. Let's all be honest about this whole thing. It all comes down to what generates a share of the listeners, which converts directly into the value of advertising. Federated Media is in business to make money, and if the time slots are not getting listeners, then the slots are rearranged.
If Dan Turkette, and his aliases (accomplices), can bring on enough pressure to Federated Media to make a change in the programming of WOWO, then perhaps they should both consider making a purchase offer. Twenty-twenty hindsight is usually perfect. It is just that simple, yet just that complicated, and Henson was "the new wallet" that very few were willing to get a "fit" for.

What's Your Hangover Food?
There is nothing worse than waking up in the morning with that unsettled stomach and a head heavier than an anvil. A late night of drinking and poor decisions will often leave you in this state. You'll want to blast the air conditioning and not leave your bed for hours and hours.
But I have learned through my days and nights with the drink that a good greasy meal will often help things up a bit. Something about fried and fatty just happens to cure my hangovers. I don't know why. It is kind of contradictory that this would happen. I would expect some healthy / fresh fruit would make everything better. And water often does nothing. So I just crawl to my car with my sun glasses on and go and get some Chinese food.
I don't know why or how I discovered that Chinese food was my cure for the morning after but now it is my go-to meal. I can be 11:30 in the morning and I'll be ordering half of the menu.
And what is even better about it is that most Chinese food can be ordered to go. So there is nothing better than bringing home a ton of food and lounging out on your couch, still in the clothes you slept in.
Chinese food in mass amounts is even better. Your stomach may still feel a little weak so you can eat a little and save some for later. It's a very easy solution.
I know a lot of people who are not fans of the Chinese cuisine so they'll often go to Taco Bell, KFC, or even Wawa. Any of these work and I have tried many. Some even do breakfast food but I have found breakfast food to be too filling. But for me, Chinese usually cures me right away and leaves me ready to go and start drinking again.
What is your favorite hangover meal choice?

I have never known a day of my life without a dog in our family. We love our dogs so much and consider them "people" in our family. To date we have had Christy (Brittany Spaniel), T-Bone (Brittany Spaniel – son of Christy), Beau I (Yellow Labrador Retriever), Belle (Black Labrador Retriever), Marti (Australian Cattle Dog), Cody (Black Labrador – sister of Belle) and Beau II (Yellow Labrador Retriever). All have passed on prior to today except Marti, Cody and Beau II.
This week my Mom called letting me know that our dog Marti was at the vets office as (at age 14) her kidneys were having issues and she was trying a form of dialysis to see if it made her feel better. After a rough and restless night, Mom called again this morning while I was at work letting me know that Marti was not getting better and in fact seemed worse. Dad was gone for work and after a heavy conference call with the family we decided to help relieve Marti of her pain today rather than prolong it.
Marti was one when Kimberly and I rescued her from a guy we refer to as "Scum Neighbor." He neglected this sweet, adorable fuzzball by keeping her out in the rain on his apartment porch for days and locked up inside alone by herself the others. We would wake up every morning and look out our window only to see her sweet face. Kimberly wondered what kind of dog she was as we had never seen such markings, color and build before. I walked over one day to ask Scum Neighbor what type of dog she was and after seeing that he was also barricading her in the kitchen with a Futon bed, I asked what he was going to do with her. He pretty much shoved her leash and her gear into my hands and told me I could have her. I didn't think twice and took her home for good.
Marti was with Kimberly and me for many years until we had our second baby. Marti's breed is serious by nature and she was a bit short on patience with the babies at times. Mom and Dad's sweet black lab Belle had become Marti's "sister" over time so it was easy when we decided that it would be best for Marti to spend some time at my parents house (aka "Camp Stonebriar") up near Dallas. Mom and Dad spoiled and loved her like a princess too. Marti eventually settled in and stayed with them, always a part of our family. Sister Belle passed on in September 2010 and for the past year and a half Marti was an only "child."
We love our dogs. I could not be there with my yellow lab, Beau, when he died in 1998. Today Marti was only 202 miles away and after the call with my family I set out on the four hour drive from Austin to my parents house to be with her. Most people would think I was crazy as, after all, it is "just a dog." Marti like all of our dogs loved me and my family unconditionally every one of her days. She was my friend and family and she deserved to have me there with her.
It was a clear Texas day today on the road but my vision was obscured most of the way to Dallas. I must have shed a tear every one of the 202 miles although I would wager it was more. I know my wife was sad and hurting having to stay home to answer the kids questions about where I was and explain Marti's condition. We texted a bit when I stopped as it seemed to be understood that neither of us would make it through a conversation on phone.
As I neared my parents house I let Mom know that I needed a few minutes alone with Marti. She had been in the office all day on her favorite blanket with her head on her favorite toy being cared for by my mother. When I walked in and said her name her ears moved and she looked up and gave a single wag of her tail (a big effort for her condition I am sure).
Mom stepped out and closed the door. I called home so my wife could speak with and sing to Marti (we had made up hundreds of Marti songs over the years). Marti's ears moved as my wife sung and spoke to her. Marti loved Kimberly to pieces. Each of the kids told her they loved her but did not seem to understand the seriousness of the day.
Mom and I lifted our sweet girl up while she was still on her bed and put her in the back of the car. I crawled in, work clothes and company badge still on and laid down with my friend. I pet her, kissed her nose and sang her some more of her favorite Marti songs. We called home again and Kimberly spoke with Marti some more. Marti was the first great thing Kimberly and I did together as a couple and we both wanted her to know that we were with her.
I am glad Mom chose a Vet that was a distance from their house and I was grateful for the additional 20 minutes alone with my dog. We arrived at the doggy hospital and Mom took a final picture of me kissing my fuzzy friend (shown here) before the staff took her in to be examined by the doctor. I was not ashamed to be seen crying as a 42 year old man for at that moment I felt like a ten year old boy again.
We laid Marti down on her bed on the table with her toy. I scratched her. Kissed her nose. Her breathing became heavier and more labored. I sang her one final Marti song. I told her how much we loved her, that I was sorry for her first terrible puppy year with Scum Neighbor but that I hoped everyday with us she felt like a princess. I sang her one more Marti song and asked her to tell Cristy, T-Bone, Beau and Belle that their boy misses and loves them everyday, is well and will see them all again someday. My nose was to hers and arm hugging her when her heart stopped at 6:15pm. I hugged her for 10 more minutes but I knew our Marti was gone, out of pain and at peace.
Goodbye sweet girl…sweet friend…our sweet Marti!
Mom and I ate a silent meal tonight where the void was obvious. We both turned to look for our friend like we always did at a meal only to remember she was not there. When a piece of meat fell from the table there was no quick tongue to snatch up the savory treat.
In a world where so much is given only with condition I am thankful and honored to have had such fine fuzzy friends as part of my family and am grateful everyday for their pure unconditional love.
Today this "boy" drives home and by the time I reach Austin I will have the duty of a man and father to break the news to my kids with my wife. It will be hard but I know I will have our newly rescued one year old lab Beau faithfully curled up by my side supporting me and my family.

I finished my first full week of radiation. There is not much to it when you get there. I change clothes, take my wig off (by choice), and wrap a towel around me. I get up on the table and the ladies align my body. They ask me if I'm cold. If so, a nice warm blanket is put over top of my bottom half. Feels good. It is very important that, once you are lined up, there is no movement. The radiation beams need to be exact for proper treatment.
You can hear the machine turn on and off. It also moves to different sides. Then, in a matter of minutes, you are done for the day. I usually will put some special lotion on the treated area, get dressed and then have the rest of the day to do whatever we had planned. I have 28 more to do, which will take me all the way until July 15. My big concerns are the heat, becoming tired and the redness that may appear on my skin where it's being treated. I may be lucky enough to avoid the extremes of each. I need to stay hydrated, get good rest and stay of the sun. I hope for some rainy days.
With the children out of school it may be a little tricky. My oldest son does drive now and will be a big help. My 14-year-old could watch the youngest when it is only the two of them. There are free movies playing at the Breeze Cinemas. After that, my sister has a nice pool. I can watch the kids from her bonus room. My 14-year-old can swim well. My youngest never leaves the shallow. He can't wear any arm bands so he uses an inner tube. My neighbors plan to take them to the beach once in awhile. We always go bowling once during the summer. They always go to the church vacation Bible school. There will be plenty to do along with quiet time, reading and keeping their minds sharp. But you know what? We can't always keep them entertained. They must find stuff to do on their own. We have a nice park in our neighborhood. There are plenty of children on our street. I remember going back and forth from one house to the other. Eat here and play there. I hope you enjoy your weekend; going to be hot. My Faith will keep me strong and my Family will make me smile. Life is good.

And aeroponics is even cooler. Then use LED lighting - besides being power efficient, you can farm in a multi-level building and so use more vertical space than horizontal, and you can tailor the spectrum output to the plant's particular needs. Combine those with genetically modified crops and cloned meat, and I don't think it is unreasonable to imagine a not-to-distant future where food is mass produced year round, and where it would be possible to feed 14 billion people using only a fraction of the farmland that is used today.
Oh heck yeah! Then we could put houses on what little remaining farmland we have left and REALLY overpopulate the planet

I was thinking the only limiting factor with large scale production would be pest management. Since most insecticides are harmful to aquatic life how would they control a pest outbreak without contaminating the fish?
Maybe you would need genetically modified pest resistant plants. But I think those were outlawed. Stupid, we would rather use pesticides on plants than eat frankinpotatoes.
I almost think if you built your greenhouse adjacent to a small pond you could farm the fish in your pond and use the water for your plants. Then if you needed to use pesticides you could stop using the pond for a while and just use a resevoir in the greenhouse. That should protect your fish if you are careful.
I'd love to own a small hobbyfarm to try this someday. I think I'd try and have a small apple orchard, a pumkin patch and maybe a petting zoo.
My dad has a hobbyfarm with a pond and a barn but they are far too busy to keep animals or do anything with the land. They've been building on to the house for years. The place is huge, it's like they built a bigger home around their old one.

You've all seen the images doing the rounds on facebook of EDL members waving mis-spelt placards. Maybe you've liked or shared them on Facebook. I had the autotuned 'Muslamic Ray Guns' tune stuck in my head for ages even though it was politically problematic. While humour and ridicule can be an important political tool, much of the 'humour' in this vein is counter-productive to an effective anti-fascism. The problem with the EDL is that they're a violent, nationalist street movement. Not that they have northern working class accents and can't spell. read full story / add a comment

Lo Scottish National Party (SNP) ha ribadito che una Scozia indipendente sarebbe un paese libero da armi nucleari. Questa posizione riflette il fatto che l'opinione pubblica scozzese è nella stragrande maggioranza contraria alla presenza del sistema di sottomarini Trident a Faslane. Questi sottomarini, un residuo della Guerra Fredda, sono a propulsione nucleare e trasportano missili balistici armati con ordigni nucleari. Questa campagna dello SNP per liberare la Scozia dalle armi nucleari è stato uno dei pochi argomenti salienti per l'indipendenza scozzese. [English] read full story / add a comment

The Scottish National Party has insisted that an independent Scotland would be free of nuclear weapons, says Eric Chester. This position reflects the fact that Scottish popular opinion is overwhelmingly opposed to the stationing of the Trident submarine system at Faslane. These subs, a leftover from the Cold War days, are nuclear powered and carry ballistic missiles armed with nuclear weapons. The SNP campaign to rid Scotland of nuclear weapons has provided one of the few salient arguments for independence. [Italiano] read full story / add a comment

Dublin City Council have new by laws to permit officials to interrogate members of the public as to how they are disposing of their rubbish. When the councils started charging for waste disposal years back numerous people refused to pay, the councils then withdrew their collections and ultimately the service was privatised. At the time of the introduction of a fee for rubbish collection some environmentalists argued it was a good thing that would lead to greater recycling and lower waste production.

The death of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on April 8 has renewed an intense political debate in Britain and internationally over her legacy. For her ruling class sycophants, Thatcher was a heroine, one of the greatest prime ministers Britain ever had. While she is falsely credited with lifting Britain out of a lasting economic slump during the 1970s, she did succeed in imposing a drastic and lasting shift in the balance of social and economic wealth between rich and poor, very much to the detriment of the latter. She was prime minister from 1979 to 1990. read full story / add a comment

The government says if we Vote no to Croke Park they will impose it anyway. Many of the union leadership try and scare us into voting Yes with this threat and by saying the only alternative is strike action. Both are right. If we just vote no than the government will attack us. And when they do the only way we can win is if we are willing to fight back - that will mean industrial action. It will almost certainly mean at least the credible threat of an indefinite strike. read full story / add a comment

Concerns raised about homes without smoke alarms
8:50am Monday 4th March 2013 in News
CONCERNS have been raised about the number of homes that don't have working smoke alarms.
A community safety advisor from Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service (HWFRS) has expressed concern following a week-long event at Crowngate Shopping Centre in Worcester to promote a range of safety issues in the home.
Becky Valender, community safety advisor, said: "We had upwards of 1,500 visitors to our stand during the week and so this proved an extremely effective way of highlighting fire safety issues within the local community. We also had 33 householders sign up with us to have a home fire safety check, where a member of our team visits people at home at a time convenient to them to offer fire safety advice specific to their circumstances."
She said that it was concerning that 21 of the households visited, equating to just under two thirds, did not have any smoke alarms fitted in their homes.
More information on home fire safety is available from the service's website at hwfire.org.uk
10:45pm Mon 4 Mar 13
And SMOKE ALARMS can be FITTED FREE by the fire Services.
So NO EXCUSE.

Despite a record-breaking year of federally declared disasters in 2011, including floods, tornadoes, hurricanes and wildfires, many L.A. residents still lack basic awareness of their local emergency communications systems. At the BE Safe America Congressional Briefing at the U.S. Capitol, Federal Signal Corporation today announced the findings of the 2012 Public Safety Survey, which include L.A. data that takes a hard look at how knowledgeable and prepared locals are for emergencies. While the survey found that more than half (53 percent) of the L.A. public believe they are aware of the steps they need to take should disaster strike, the results uncover a shocking lack of knowledge—and even indifference—surrounding emergency alerts and notifications.
"Not only is it necessary to create a thorough preparedness and response plan for an emergency or disaster, it's critical that people are as educated as possible about the emergency communications systems in place within their communities—which can prove lifesaving," said Len Pagano, president and CEO, Safe America Foundation. "We were surprised to see just how many people remain unaware of the alerting systems in their area, and even more disconcerting, how many are apathetic in their response to emergency scenarios and communications."
Conducted by Zogby International, the survey found that 72 percent of L.A. locals are unsure if their community has a personal alerting and notification system (ANS), which includes a combination of options for calls, text and email message notifications. While locals would be more motivated to take action in an emergency by a Radio or TV public service announcement—ahead of traditional warning sirens and word-of-mouth communication from friends and family—69 percent of those surveyed are unsure when their communities' system is tested, and 70 percent are unaware of the sounds and sirens associated with various warnings. In fact, more than 2 in 5 L.A. residents do not know if their community has a warning siren system at all.
"With all of the options available to keep the public informed of nearby disasters or emergencies, we were alarmed to see how many people aren't aware of the existing notification systems in their communities," said Joe Wilson, president of the Industrial Systems Division, Safety and Security Group at Federal Signal. "In times of crisis, people need to act fast—or risk waiting until it's too late. Now more than ever, it is essential that we educate communities on the emergency communications options available to them, and to drive the sense of urgency surrounding swift response to emergency alerts."
Even severe weather conditions do not motivate L.A. residents to take action. Less than one half (43 percent) of survey respondents would take action based on a potential severe weather warning and 28 percent of respondents would require actual property damage or injury in order to care strongly about public safety awareness. Further, 1 in 12 L.A. locals said that nothing would cause them to care.
"We were shocked to see that the public could be so complacent when it comes to awareness and response to emergency communication," said Wilson. "The fact that people could receive a warning that wouldn't motivate them to action is extremely concerning, particularly with 99 FEMA major disaster declarations issued last year alone."
Survey findings show that the L.A. public continues to rely on community officials to ensure public safety. In fact, results found that more than half of respondents (56 percent) trust their local and regional government to ensure sufficient public safety standards, communication and planning. Yet, only 21 percent feel that L.A. officials currently are investing in, or giving government attention to their public safety. In terms of potential contributing factors, almost half (46 percent) feel that the economy has had a negative impact on the level of investment in their community.
"Preparedness starts with awareness," said Wilson. "As emergency managers strive to support their community with effective programming and planning, it's imperative that the public stay informed of what communications systems local officials and emergency managers currently have in place—and more importantly, that communities are prepared to respond efficiently and effectively."

The calm and cautious François Hollande, who dramatically wrested the French presidency from Nicolas Sarkozy on Sunday, faces immediate foreign policy challenges, analysts say.
Hollande strides onto the world stage with major events over upcoming days and weeks -- the Group of Eight meeting at Camp David, Maryland, and the NATO summit this month and a G-20 meeting set for Mexico City, and a European Council meeting in Brussels, Belgium, in June.
French journalist and political analyst Agnès Poirer said Hollande must meet President Barack Obama in Washington on May 17. She said in a CNN commentary that the "two men have never met and Hollande is an unknown entity in the U.S."
The rule of thumb about judging the effectiveness of a president after his or her first 100 days in office could be changed to the first "100 hours" in Hollande's case, said Heather Conley, senior fellow and director of the Center for Strategic and International Studies' Europe Program.
In a brief amount of time, Conley said, "We're going to get important insights on French directions."
Hollande became France's first Socialist president since François Mitterrand left office in 1995 as he swept to election victory over the incumbent Sarkozy, one of the most America-friendly French presidents in decades.
The result is likely to reverberate across economically hard-hit Europe. Hollande has been critical of the austerity policies central to European bailout deals for troubled economies there. But his leadership is expected to make an impact in Afghanistan as well as Turkey and the Middle East.
European markets quickly recovered from an earlier sell-off Monday following national elections in France as well as Greece that sparked concern about the future of planned austerity measures.
U.S. stocks were mixed Monday amid reignited concerns about Europe following the elections in France and Greece. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 32 points, or 0.2%, the S&P 500 shed 1 point, or 0.1%, while the Nasdaq composite rose 2 points, or 0.1%.
"A change in leadership brings uncertainty because you don't know exactly what you're getting into," said Ryan Detrick, senior technical strategist at Schaeffer's Investment Research.

"The Gathering Storm"
Journal Article, Democracy: A Journal of Ideas, issue 2
Fall 2006
Author: Elaine Kamarck, Lecturer in Public Policy
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: International Security
The lingering anger in New Orleans over the poor federal response to Hurricane Katrina is such that you can buy a T-shirt that reads "FEMA: Federal Employees Missing in Action." By now, one year after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita hit New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, most people are familiar with the catalogue of missteps by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in the days after the storm first hit. They read like recollections from a bureaucratic nightmare. FEMA denied local officials' requests for rubber rafts needed to rescue victims because it was afraid the polluted waters would ruin them. It issued a press release telling first responders in neighboring states not to respond to the hurricane without being requested and lawfully dispatched by state and local authorities. It turned away trucks filled with water and refused to accept much-needed generators. It wouldn't allow food to be delivered to New Orleans by the Red Cross. It ignored Amtrak's offer of trains to evacuate victims. It tied up valuable offers of foreign aid in the form of water-purification systems and rescue ships. And it left 20,000 trailers, desperately needed for temporary housing, sitting in Atlanta.
Why was the response to Katrina so inadequate, and can FEMA be fixed? On the surface, the outlines of the problem are clear enough: By placing FEMA, formerly an independent agency, into a new Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Bush Administration severely weakened FEMA, causing problems that can only be fixed by restoring its independence. But, beyond this reshuffling of boxes on the federal government's organization chart, FEMA's response points to a deeper and more serious problem. Hurricane Katrina may not be the once-in-a-century storm it was thought to be. Rather, in all likelihood it is a harbinger for what is likely to come in an era of global warming. Just as the attacks of September 11 served as a wake-up call for what could be decades of catastrophic terrorism, Katrina must be seen as a wake-up call for an era of potentially new and explosively expensive natural disasters.

As a church, we have a responsibility to uphold marriage because it is deemed holy by God. Therefore, we must do all we can to prepare couples for marriage. Believing that marriage is a holy and sacred gift from God, it is our desire that couples approach marriage according to Biblical standards and in a way that is pleasing to God. In this regard, we ask that you accept an "engagement covenant" that includes the following three aspects:
A Covenant of Belief Believing that God has intended Christians to only marry Christians, we require that both bride and groom individually come to an understanding and acceptance of Christ's sacrificial death, and that commitment to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be made evident. (II Chronicles 6:14-16; Romans 10:9-10)
A Covenant of Purity Believing that the sexual relationship has been designed and intended for marriage, we ask that you agree to abstain from any sexual relationship until after the wedding. Furthermore, believing that living arrangements that include cohabitation prior to the wedding is a compromise of your Christian witness, we ask that you agree to separate living arrangements until the wedding. (I Corinthians 6:9-11; I Corinthians 8:1-13)
A Covenant of Faithfulness Believing that the Church is God's greenhouse to grow strong marriages, we ask that you find a place of involvement in His Church, the Body of Christ, and pursue a lifestyle of faithfulness to your church family. (Hebrews 10:19-25)
For your complete guide to getting married at Second, please review our Wedding Policies.
Offered four times a year at the Woodway Campus for couples of all ages and denominations who are seriously dating or engaged to be married. All couples who wish to be married at Second Baptist Church are required to take Marriage Prep and also meet with a minister or counselor at the church two or three times prior to the wedding.Upcoming Marriage Prep workshops:August 9-10, 2013October 18-19, 2013Register online here for August 9-10, 2013 Workshop.For more information about the seminar including class content and costs, please read the Marriage Prep guide below.

MSTRKRFT at Webster Hall
Suck it, Canada! We had your country's biggest DJs spending their New Year's in the Big Apple. On NYE, Webster Hall has long been synonymous with organized chaos and a bacchanalian spirit, including fire displays, aerial performances, stilt walkers and the "largest balloon drop in the free world." It's the type of place that's featured on one of those E! "World's Craziest Parties"-type shows, usually reserved for Ibiza or Europe or some other place cooler (or sadder, depending on how you like to party) than us. We swung by to shoot the bash, and join in a bit ourselves.
