Dennis Hastert received bribes from Turks in return for withdrawing Armenian Genocide Resolution from House floor in 2000.
Original post made by Dr. Ferragamo on Jun 22, 2007
Here's a 10-minute video of Ms. Edmonds discussing the covert relationship between Turkish groups and former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert and other US officials:

And here's Condi "Mushroom Cloud" Rice explaining to Congress why the Armenian Genocide of 1915 where 1.5 million Armenian people were slaughtered should not be labeled "genocide":
Web Link

Genocide ongoing is of greater importance than genocide historical. I believe Dr. Rice was arguing that no present purpose would derive from going further than we have already gone on this issue at this time.
on Jun 22, 2007 at 8:05 pm
Walter, I don't think the world will properly confront ongoing, current genocides if it does not confront its past genocides or denies them.
on Jun 23, 2007 at 6:22 pm
Which is more important? I saw no denial in Dr. Rices' statement, just the need to resolve today's problems first. We can't undo the past. How did YOU vote on slave grown chocolate, the cause Palo Alto dares not mention?

In a recent article and book, Mark Lilla, professor of humanities at Columbia University, gives us a refresher course in how the United States of America and European nations came to separate theology and politics while most other nations did not. (1) Lilla points out that the Reformation destroyed the unity of Christendom and left 16th century Europe a hodge-podge of churches and sects where doctrinal differences and political ambitions fueled each other. This led to the "madness" of a century and a half of religious wars in Europe in which, Lilla says, Christians killed one another with "maniacal fury." (2)

In Winslow Homer's iconic painting "Prisoners From the Front," three Confederate prisoners and a Union officer confront each other against the backdrop of a Civil War battlefield. The Southern soldiers may be prisoners, but there is no sign of defeat or surrender in their manner.
Here's Eleanor Jones Harvey, curator of a new show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art: "The standoff epitomizes the lingering hostility and bitterness felt on the part of the Confederates, and by extension the Northerners' cluelessness as to the depth of that animosity."
On the Fourth of July, we went to the Met to see the surprising and thought-provoking, new collection, "The Civil War and American Art."
As Americans celebrated their independence and marked the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg in the same week, it felt like the right time to learn more about our collective history and to reflect on what it means for the future.
We live in a time in which some in public life want to pretend that race discrimination is no longer the government's concern.
But reflecting on these images from the war to end slavery, I kept thinking about all the ways that race and the politics of race continue to cast a long shadow over the American story.
Maybe it was because our visit came nine days after a bare majority on the United States Supreme Court decided to gut the Voting Rights Act.
This new collection of art and a companion exhibition of Civil War photographs tell the story of the Civil War in three parts:
There was the cruelty and inhumanity of slavery and the grim expectation that a civil war could not be avoided.
There was the war and its terrible carnage (750,000 people died).
Finally, there was the devastation visited on the economy of the Southern states and the bitterness that ensued.
In the catalog published with the new exhibitions, Harvey describes Southern resentments: "Left to pick up the pieces and start anew, many in the South descended into bitter recriminations ... and they conjured gallant fantasies of the Lost Cause."

Hi there,
which expression would you use? Do you say: I like stroking my cat. Or I like fondleing my cat. Can you use the expression to stroke with a pet as well, or does it only apply to humans?
Best regards,
Thanks. I didn't know that "to pet" can be used for animals as well. Do you say: "I like petting my cat." ? I always thought that this would have a sexual connotation.

Ross Detwiler did everything the Nationals wanted him to do.
If not for Strasburger's Syndrome -- if you had Tommy John Surgery two years earlier, you're incapable of throwing more than 160 innings -- Detwiler probably would have been bumped from the Nationals' postseason rotation, with Edwin Jackson filling the fourth slot. After all, Detwiler finished with the rotation's worst strikeout-to-walk ratio, and he was allowed to throw more than 100 pitches just once all season.
But here in Game 4, he's limited the potent Cardinals to just one run in six innings. He's also thrown 104 pitches, a new 2012 high, so he's undoubtedly coming out for a pinch hitter in the bottom of the sixth.
Meanwhile, Kyle Lohse has thrown only 66 pitches in five innings, and might be around for a while yet.

The Operating Leverage And DOL
Loading the player...
Operating leverage is the relationship between a company's fixed and variable costs.
A company with high operating leverage will see its profits go up when its ticket sales increase, because fixed costs remain the same. Likewise, a company with low operating leverage in a declining sales period must still pay its fixed costs, and it will thus suffer bigger losses.
The degree of operating leverage (DOL) of a firm measures how well a company generates profit using its fixed costs.

What Is a Hangover?The term hangover refers to a constellation of unpleasant and painful symptoms that can develop after drinking too much alcohol. Those symptoms can range from mild discomfort to the more severe symptoms described above.
There is no set amount of alcohol that will cause a hangover, since each individual reacts to alcohol differently, but generally, the more you had to drink, the more severe the hangover symptoms.
The Symptoms of a HangoverMost of the unpleasant symptoms experienced during a hangover are caused by two factors: the diuretic alcohol effect that causes the drinker to become dehydrated, and the toxic effects of alcohol poisoning of many systems of the body.
Excessive amounts of alcohol can affect the liver, the brain, the gastrointestinal system, the central nervous system and sensory perception. It can disrupt your sleep and other body rhythms, affect your mood and affect your attention and concentration.
The Causes of a HangoverMost of the symptoms experienced during a hangover are caused by the direct effect of alcohol on the body's systems, as mentioned above, but there are many other factors that can add to the unpleasantness of a hangover that are not direct effects of the alcohol consumed.
Hangover symptoms can also be caused by the withdrawal of alcohol from the body, the effects of metabolites produced when alcohol is consumed, other chemicals found in alcoholic beverages, behaviors associated with drinking and personal characteristics of the drinker.
The Cure for HangoversThere are many traditional practices that are thought to alleviate hangover symptoms, but some of them are unfounded myths that really don't help much at all. There are some practices that can actually make matters worse.
Left alone, hangover symptoms will go away on their own within eight to 24 hours, but when your head is pounding and the room is spinning, any treatment that can bring relief can sound like a good idea.
Preventing a HangoverThe best cure for a hangover is to never get one in the first place. People who drink nonalcoholic beverages do not get hangovers, and generally speaking, those who drink moderate amounts -- one drink a day for women and no more than two a day for men -- do not experience hangover symptoms.
If you drink any alcohol at all, though, you can experience negative consequences the next morning. Although there is no sure way to eliminate all of the unpleasantness of a hangover, there are steps that you can take to reduce the severity of the symptoms.
The Hangover as a DeterrentFor many people who experience a particularly severe hangover, it can be the motivation to never drink excessively again. It happens every day: someone has a very bad experience after drinking too much and they simply make a decision to quit drinking and they never drink again.
Others, though, continue to drink despite repeated bouts with severe hangover symptoms. Continuing to drink despite negative consequences can be sign of alcoholism or alcohol dependence or, at the very least, alcohol abuse. Heavy drinkers who have sworn to themselves "never again" during a hangover, but return to drinking a short time later, have, by definition, a drinking problem.

D.C. Everest and Antigo played well into Thursday evening as both teams were deadlocked at 3-3 at the end of regulation.
The boys' ice hockey regional final started at 7PM and didn't end until approximately 10:20PM, when Cole Halligan, Everest senior and captain, was awarded a penalty shot after an Antigo player was called for tripping in the final minute of the third overtime.
Halligan also scored the game-tying goal at the end of regulation, also on a penalty shot.
"Well, shootouts are always, its always stressful and it's always a big deal," Halligan said. "But then you add in playoffs and your whole season's on the line and I didn't wanna let my guys down. They worked too hard for it."
The two teams played a total of 91 minutes, almost the equivalent of two regulation games.
"The guys worked hard all night long, you know to battle," DC Everest head coach Dan Van Slyke and to come away with a victory is huge for us and for our program and for our senior especially."
D.C. Everest will face Wausau West in the sectional semifinals on Tuesday night at Marathon County Park.

By Rick Teverbaugh
The Herald Bulletin
— Dicey Curves is a game designed by Matt Worden that mines a lot of new territory when it comes to auto racing games.
The game is also marketed by Worden and distributed through The Game Crafter, a site where new designers without the backing of a large company can get their creations published.
The first idea for this game is that it isn't played with a board or some other type of solid construction representing the track. Most racing games on the market have such a track, Formula D, Rallyman, Pitch Car, etc.
"Originally, the design did have a pre-constructed track," said Worden. "It was on a very big board and used Hot Wheels / Matchbox sized cars. At that time, I was thinking of having a modular track with interlocking pieces, like slot-cars or PitchCar do ... but the cost seemed prohibitiveWhen I changed just about everything about the game -- the dice system, the track spot and movement system, and using smaller car pawns with poker cards for the track."
So even though Worden admits to be influenced by track-based games like Formula D and Daytona 500, he found his niche my moving the cars through a series of cards, each representing a different type of section of track.
Yet to appeal to a lot of board gamers, there had to be elements of the game that could appeal to those who aren't hardcore racing fans. So he looked to another game to mix in with racing that was very popular yet had nothing to do with the sport.
"Another game that had an influence on Dicey Curves that isn't a racing game is Yahtzee," said Worden. " Since I wanted the game to play like a lighter party game, I looked for a way to pull in that feeling you get in Yahtzee when you've done your first roll and you look at the dice and try to figure out the best thing to go after."
The game is played with five white and five green dice. When the white dice are rolled each turn, movement is established by how long a run is or how many of a certain number are rolled. In addition, any 6s rolled are re-rolled along with the same number of green dice. There are also control chips available in limited supply to allow for dice to be set at a certain number or dice to be re-rolled.
The best way to play is to lay out the track cards as the race unfolds. The lead driver never knows more than two cards ahead what the track will throw at him and no driver will know exactly when that finish line card will come up. The result is a game that has players getting into winning the race as well as having fun.
"People play it much more competitively than I had expected," said Worden. "I thought it would be just a light, fun game about racing ... and while it is, people seem to really get invested in moving their cars ahead and into the immediate direct competition with whoever has a car next to (or slightly ahead of) you."
The game is available here: https://thegamecrafter.com/games/dicey-curves for just $19.99. There are expansions planned for it as well.
" I have 2 expansions planned for the game," said Worden, whose Jump Gate remains one of Game Crafter's top sellers. "The first should be ready in February, with the second ready by GenCon next August. The expansions will include additional cards and parts and new rules to add-in car damage, random events, and a few other cool ideas. I like how the base game plays as a fun party game, but the expansions are intended to add some more meat to that base framework for more serious gamers."
This game is already capable of producing some serious fun for racing and non-racing fans. It carries my hearty endorsement.

It was a great year for growth in the NCNCA territory. As you can see from the numbers below we saw significant growth in all rider categories except for Cat 2 women. We also grew in territory with the addition of a couple of counties. The new NCNCA territory in California starts at the line formed by the southern boundaries of Monterey, Kings, Tulare and Inyo counties and goes up to the CA/OR border. This new territory addition added up to about 35 new racers and two additional races.
There is one potential problem that this new growth is causing. With so many Cat 5s we run the risk of discouraging new riders if they can't get into races. Due to the rule change for 2006 which limits mixed category races containing Cat 5s to a Max of 75 riders we are seeing some promoters dropping racing opportunities for master Cat 5s. Some of the early season races are restricting the 45/55+ races to Cat 1,2,3,4 riders and some races are having a 35+ Cat 4 or 35+ Cat 3/4 race instead of the traditional 35+ cat 4/5 race. If we don't give master Cat 5 riders enough opportunities to race we may see riders leave the sport. After all why pay for a racing license if you can't do the races you want due to either full fields or promoters not offering your category.

Someone wants your money. The scammer is making calls to try to get your credit card information.
"I think people will do anything to get money from somebody," said Lt. Rick Edwards with the Akron Police Department.
Akron Police got a tip about a scam that tries to trick people into paying unpaid speed camera tickets.
The scammer pretends to be from "Ohio State Recovery Company", calling about the ticket the would be victim supposedly received in the mail.
"They want their credit card information and if they don't give their information then a judge from the Akron Municipal Court will issue a warrant for their arrest," said Edwards.
Akron only has traffic cameras in school zones and those cameras won't be set up until school starts next week.
Another red flag if you get a speed camera ticket you never have to go through the clerk of courts.
"If you don't pay that ticket you're not going to hear from the Akron Municipal Court or anybody from the court system. They're not going to issue a bench warrant. They will go after you civilly," said Edwards.
So if you find yourself on the other line with someone asking for your personal information. Chances are it's a scam.
Hang up and check it out with police.
Akron Police say if you are already a victim of this speed camera scam call your credit card company, stop payment, then call police to report it.

If Tom Brady is the No. 1 player on the Patriots' 53-man roster, then Ross Ventrone is No. 53 — sometimes.
At the moment, he's not even that. He enters Super Bowl XLVI as a member of the team's eight-man practice squad. But he's been up and down between the active roster and the practice squad so much, it would be understandable if the first-year defensive back didn't know if he was coming or going.
That's because he's spent much of the 2011 season literally coming and going.
If you're an avid reader of the NFL's daily transactions, you are likely familiar with the Ventrone name. Re-signed on Aug. 29 after spending much of last season on the team's practice squad, he was subsequently released on Sept. 3. He was then signed to the practice squad on Sept. 5. He was added to the active roster on Sept. 24. On Oct. 1, he was released. Three days later, on Oct. 4, he was signed back to the practice squad. Four days after that, on Oct. 8, he was brought back up to the join the 53 actives. He was released again on Oct. 17, only to be added back to the practice squad on Oct. 19.
On and on it has gone throughout the season. In all, Ventrone's roller-coaster of a roster ride has seen him involved in 21 transactions this season.
And frankly, that's probably the only reason you would be familiar with him, as he largely plays a behind-the-scenes role within the Patriots' organization. But that doesn't mean he hasn't played an important role in helping New England win the AFC East and play their way into the NFL title game.
"He does a great a job," said Patriots special-teams coach Scott O'Brien. "For two years now, he's fulfilled a role not only playing on Sundays, (but) getting us ready to play on Sunday. He's got a lot of flexibility based on what positions he can play and what he can handle mentally. He's done a great job of that. So his value to us has been extremely important and very helpful from the first time he got here. To practice squad, to continuing on practice squad, getting us ready for games to when his number was called and stepping in and helping us play and win on Sundays."
Ventrone has been active for just eight games in 2011. His stat line? Two tackles.
But again, that doesn't represent his value to the team. The 25-year-old Villanova product, who entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Patriots in 2010, has a heart for football that is 10 times bigger than his 5-8, 190-pound frame.
"I think the key thing with Ross Ventrone is that he loves football," said Patriots defensive backs coach Josh Boyer. "No matter what we've asked him to do — whether it's be a safety on the scout team, be a running back on the scout team, be a defensive end on the scout team, be a receiver on the scout team - he's been more than willing to do all that, and done it well. Done it real well. At the same time, he's been improving as a defensive back. He works very hard at his skill set. I think the bouncing up and down is testament to his character and his love for football."
For Ventrone, the constant yo-yoing back and forth between the practice squad to the active roster to the street and back to the practice squad is just part of his season. It is what it is.
"As a lot of people know in this league, it's like a numbers system, like with positions, different needs, different places," said Ventrone. "They just tell me, 'Ross, this has to happen this week.' After that, I hope for the best. I've been fortunate enough that my transactions have really been like one or two days before they bring me back. I've been fortunate enough that they keep bringing me back. Every time I get that phone call to come back, I get excited about it."
But being at the bottom of the roster, a candidate to be released at any moment, has got to take its toll mentally. Ventrone refutes this assumption. He has to focus on the task at hand.
"Every week I prepare like I'm going to play in the game," said Ventrone. "Regardless of what my role is at the time, or whether I'm on the practice squad or active, I just take it like I'm going to play in the game, because I never know. A lot of time on Saturday I get bumped up. So I always have to be mentally ready for that. Getting bumped back and forth, I'm just honored they keep bringing me back to be part of this organization. I'm just happy to still be here and that they feel that I'm part of the organization to keep having me come back. I just try to stay as positive about it as possible."
So what does the future beyond Sunday hold for Ventrone? Has he proven enough to come back in 2012, perhaps in a more stable role?
"Right now, honestly, I'm just worried about this game," said Ventrone. "I try not to think too far ahead. I love this organization. I love being here. So, I mean, that would ideal. But right now, I'm just thinking about this week."
Spoken like a true Patriot. Bill Belichick would definitely like that answer.
Come Sunday, Ventrone will likely be wearing his No. 35 jersey — sans shoulder pads — and blue jeans. He may not be flying around the field, but this bottom-of-the-roster guy played an important role in this team getting to the game in the first place.

Progress Energy Scam Alert For Local Businesses
- Details

By: Willard H. Killough III
Managing Editor
CAROLINA BEACH – Progress Energy is alerting customers to a scam that seeks to scare local business owners into believing they must pay an overdue bill over the phone or have their power cut off the same day.
According to a release from Progress Energy on their website (www.progress-energy.com), "Recent scams in Progress Energy's service territories have left some customers out of money and without power. These customers were scammed by individuals or companies claiming to represent Progress Energy."
The scam centers on misleading phone calls where a person claims to be a representative of Progress Energy.
Accord to Progress "Some customers report receiving phone calls from individuals identifying themselves as Progress Energy employees. In some cases, the customer's caller identification will display Progress Energy's name or phone number. The caller attempts to obtain customer account or personal information. Occasionally, Progress Energy MAY call you to discuss your account. If we do, we will provide you with information that only you and Progress Energy would know in order to validate that our call is legitimate. If, after receiving the information, you are uncomfortable providing personal information by phone, or if you believe the call is a scam, hang up and call the company directly at 1-800-452-2777."
Owner and operator of Olde Salty's restaurant in Carolina, Brenda Armes, said last week a man called and said she was late paying the electric bill for her restaurant and if she did not pay a certain amount the power would be cut off later that same day. Brenda said the man was aggressive and after a nearly 20 minute call, she ultimately hung up on the man. She said her bill is paid automatically from a checking account each month and there is no way the bill was overdue. She argued that fact with the caller who was very persistent with various excuses in an attempt to scare her into paying over the phone even claiming that if there was an error they would credit her account a later time.
Brenda called the Carolina Beach Police Department to file a police report. She said the officer that responded said one other area restaurant in Carolina Beach had fallen prey to the scam and reported it to police.
Brenda said, "I called Progress Energy and they said it was a scam and told me to call the police to file a report."
Brenda said the man called himself "Michael Reese" and the phone number indicated "Progress Energy" on her caller ID from a number in the 919 area code. She said his accent was that of a person from a foreign country.
Progress Energy also reported on their website about another "Third Party Payment" scam. According to Progress, "Scam artists claiming to be Progress Energy employees are telling customers they have the ability to wipe out entire account balances – for a cash fee. Please know that no one from Progress Energy will ever offer to pay a customer's bill in exchange for a fee. Progress Energy only charges convenience fees for payments using its automated phone system and one-time payments made through its website. The company does not charge customers extra fees for paying their bills by mail, at authorized pay agent locations or through customers' online banking services."
If you have a question about whether someone is a legitimate representative of Progress Energy, contact the company directly at 1-800-452-2777 to verify the person's identity. Call police immediately if you believe the person is an imposter.

We recommend a sell in the stock of Indiabulls Financial Services from a short-term perspective. It is apparent from the charts of the stock that following a medium-term uptrend from its November 2011 low at Rs 116, the stock encountered resistance in the band between Rs 250 and Rs 256 in March. After frequently testing of this resistance band, the stock reversed downwards last week triggered by negative divergence in the daily relative strength index and daily price rate of change indicator.
On Wednesday, the stock tumbled four per cent breaching its 50-day moving average and medium-term uptrend line. The stock is trading well below its 21- and 50-day moving averages. For this week so far, the stock has plunged eight per cent. The daily RSI has entered into the bearish zone from the neutral region and weekly RSI is declining in the neutral region. Moreover, weekly moving average convergence divergence indicator is displaying negative divergence backing the stock's trend reversal. Both daily and weekly price rate of change indicators are featuring in the negative territory implying selling pressure. We are bearish on the stock from a short-term perceptive. We expect the stock's fall to continue and knock our price target of Rs 212.5 or Rs 206 in the forthcoming trading sessions. Traders with short-term perspective can consider selling the stock with stop-loss at Rs 226.

Kansas City, MO (Sports Network) - Salvador Perez's go-ahead RBI single in the bottom of the eighth inning lifted the Kansas City Royals to a 4-3 win over the Seattle Mariners in the second test of a four-game set.
Mike Moustakas smacked a two-out double to center against Yoervis Medina (4-4) before scoring when Perez lined a single to left to make it 4-3.
Greg Holland fired a scoreless ninth to notch his 38th save of the season.
Perez also cracked a solo homer, as did Alex Gordon for the Royals, who have won eight of their last 10 and are 4 1/2 games behind the Tampa Bay Rays for the AL's second wild-card spot.
"We just got to win ballgames and that's our main focus," Gordon said.
Luke Hochevar (4-2) recorded the final two outs in the eighth to pick up the win.
Kyle Seager belted a two-run homer for Seattle, which has dropped its last three tilts.
"We're not scoring a great deal of runs, but it's not because we're not getting opportunities," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said.
The Royals jumped out to a 3-0 lead after plating a run in each of the first, fourth and fifth innings, but Seattle answered with a pair of runs in the sixth and pushed across another in the seventh to tie the contest at 3-3.
Gordon led off the home first with a shot into the bullpen in right, Perez's one-out homer in the fourth landed into the bullpen in left and Billy Butler's RBI single in the fifth made it 3-0 in favor of Kansas City.
Seager's two-run moonshot deep into the seats in right in the sixth and Brad Miller's RBI groundout in the seventh tied the tilt.
Kansas City starter Bruce Chen surrendered two runs on six hits over six
frames, while Seattle starter Erasmo Ramirez allowed three runs on seven hits
and three walks over 6 1/3 innings.

ELIZABETHTOWN — After four years without a contract, North Country Community College faculty has a new five-year agreement that gives them raises in three of those years.
The previous contract expired Sept. 1, 2010, and the new one is retroactive to that date and runs until Aug. 31, 2015, but gives no raises for the 2010-11 and 2011-12 school years.
It includes a $1,950 pay increase for 2012-13, the current academic year; $975 for 2013-14; and $1,950 for 2014-15.
The contract is the result of tough economic times at North Country Community College, President Steve Tyrell told the Essex County Board of Supervisors Monday morning.
He said both the North Country Community College Association of Professionals, the union representing instructors at the college, and the NCCC Board of Trustees have OK'd the pact.
The Board of Supervisors unanimously passed it Monday, 16-0, with Supervisors Sue Montgomery Corey (D-Minerva) and Daniel Connell (D-Westport) absent.
Tyrell said he got approval for the agreement from the Franklin County Legislature on May 3.
The contract actually expired in 2009, Tyrell said, but was extended for one year so Interim President Fred Smith could try to negotiate it. That effort failed, and Tyrell said that after taking the college helm last year, he made it a priority to negotiate a new labor agreement.
"This contract represents about half what they've (faculty) received in the past," he said. "They've been willing to work with us because they know we're trying to advance the college.
"They understand the economic times. It's important we all work together."
Tyrell said the college doesn't extend percentage raises but instead uses step increases that each full-time employee receives.
"We have a step system," he said. "We now have a half-step value that was introduced."
The half-step increases will be used in the next-to-last year of the contract, 2013-14.

Anton Tanumihardja and husband Brian Andersen are scheduled for a visit with the local branch of Immigration and Customs Enforcement Oct. 7, at which time the couple could learn whether the pending deportation order against Tanumihardja will be executed.
Tanumihardja, a native of Indonesia, has been living in the United States since 2002. Originally on a tourist visa, Tanumihardja applied unsuccessfully several times for asylum, citing persecution faced by LGBTs in his home country, but was ordered to be deported last Valentine's Day.
Just hours before his flight, however, the Department of Homeland Security granted the couple a reprieve pending Tanumihardja's repeat asylum application to the Board of Immigration Appeals. However, in late May the BIA refused the motion and issued a "final order of removal" that could lead to Tanumihardja's deportation.
Tanumihardja and Andersen, together since the summer of 2010, were wed in June in Washington, D.C. This past summer, Tanumihardja again appealed the BIA decision, citing ineffective legal representation on previous appeals, the media surrounding his case that could further threaten his safety should he be deported, and his recent legal marriage — which, if it were not for the Defense of Marriage Act, would enable Andersen to sponsor him for citizenship.
During a required check-in with ICE late last month, the couple submitted another request — a consideration for "deferred action," based on new guidelines outlined by DHS this past summer.
Deferred action would nullify the order of removal until DHS decides to resume the proceedings.
According to the August memorandum from DHS secretary Janet Napolitano, the agency will review pending deportation cases and administratively close those deemed low priority — based on such factors as community ties and familial relationships, which officials have signaled could include same-sex relationships.
A coalition of 69 Congressmembers this week issued a letter to Napolitano and Attorney General Eric Holder urging DHS to make it explicitly clear to immigration agencies that same-sex relationships are to be included among the family ties considered for determining the priority of a deportation case.
Among the signatories is Pennsylvania Congressman Michael Doyle (D-14th Dist.).
Andersen said Tanumihardja's deportation officer conferred with a higher-up after the couple submitted the request and said officials needed until Oct. 7 to respond.
"It's such a new policy that they seemed a bit unsure of how to respond to it," Andersen said. "They basically said there's a lot to go over, and they didn't seem negative or positive, just said that it was something they needed to consider."
In the meantime, the couple is urging LGBTs and allies to contact their elected officials, including Sen. Bob Casey (D) and Congressman Bob Brady, to urge the lawmakers to press ICE for the deferred-action ruling.
Until next week, the couple will be on edge, Andersen said, waiting for a call that could ease their worries.
"It's very nerve-wracking," he said. "Every day they could call us so we're almost literally just sitting by the phone waiting for that to happen."

1885 Colorado State Census - Arapahoe County
In 1987, the Colorado Council of Genealogical Societies embarked on a statewide project called the 1885 Census Index Project in order to make a statewide index of names, counties, enumeration districts and pages. It would include the schedules of Population, Agriculture, Manufacturers and Mortality. This statewide project is not complete.
The Colorado Genealogical Society was assigned the former Arapahoe County which included the present Denver, Arapahoe and Adams counties. An Extraction Committee was formed of Bonnie Garramone, Bette Peters and Joanne Classen to gather the volunteers for the project. Many members came forward to help with the extracting, proofing and electronic data entry. The Colorado Genealogical Society decided to publish an expanded version of only Arapahoe County. Other members were added to the committee: Birdie Holsclaw as computer consultant, Sandra Carter-Duff as compiler and publisher, James Jeffrey of the Western History and Genealogy Department of the Denver Public Library, Philip Wargo as technical developer of the CDROM, and Jim Englehorn as publisher.
On behalf of the membership of the Colorado Genealogical Society and all future users of the 1885 Colorado State Census - Arapahoe County, I thank the individuals named above and named in the acknowledgments for their dedication and perseverance in completing this important project.

Pia Bygdéus håller licentiatföreläsning i musikpedagogik den 12:e december 2012 kl 10.00-12.00 i Liljeforssalen vid Musikhögskolan i Malmö, Ystadv. 25, Malmö. Licentiatuppsatsens titel är UTTRYCK GENOM HANDLING - Medierande verktyg i körledararbete med barn och unga. Opponent är Eva Georgii-Hemming.
ABSTRACTTitle: Uttryck genom handling. Medierande verktyg i körledararbete med barn och unga.English title: Expression through action. Mediating tools in choral leaders work withchildrens choir and youth choir.Language: SwedishKeywords: choir leadership, choral pedagogy, choral conducting, mediating tools,sociocultural perspective.The role of the choir director is a complex one. When working with a choir, choir directors often use several aspects of their professional role. The aim of this qualitative study is to describe, verbalize and make visible the mediating tools that choir directors working with children and young choirs use. In a longitudinal study, four choir directors were observed closely while working with their choirs. They also took part in semi-structured interviews. The empirical data material consists of observation notes, reflective writing, individual interviews, focus conversations and videotapes.Analysed from a sociocultural perspective, the result points to eight groups of mediatingtools: a) A listening attitude towards the choir, with the music in focus; b) a variation in ways of working with the choir, where a variety of physical tools are used; c) the use of musical routines; d) the choir director acting as a role model in shaping musical expression with the group; e) a concentrated cooperation with the choir through short and expressive instructions; f) reflection in practice by planning and self-evaluation; g) storytelling, which results in memory training, stimulation of the imagination and the sharing of common experience, and h) the use of target images expressed as visions, small/big goals or jointly stated, communicated targets. The choir directors who participated in the study use a variety of approaches and ways of working as a strategy for communicating and working with childrens choir and youth choir.

Washington Post's Ignatius Hails Obama's Nimble Contraception Policy; Will Zings Bishops: 'It Serves Them Right'
By Brent Baker | February 12, 2012 | 16:26
"I was struck looking at this," Washington Post columnist and former foreign editor David Ignatius expressed on ABC's This Week in admiring how Barack Obama on Friday adjusted the contraception mandate, hailing "the ability to do a do-over quickly" since the administration was not "done deaf" and "they did make changes and this is now a policy that you can defend."
Unaddressed, how it's just an accounting gimmick and Catholic institutions would still be required to cover what they morally oppose, to say nothing of what gives the government the right to require private insurers to offer a service for "free."
Over on NBC's Meet the Press, when Peggy Noonan noted how Obama picked the leftist position over the First Amendment, another Washington Post columnist and former reporter, E.J. Dionne Jr. fired back: "Barack Obama is a moderate progressive with the emphasis on moderate. Most socialists are insulted when Barack Obama is called a socialist."
George Will, on This Week pointed out "this is an accounting gimmick that they've done that in no way ends the complicity of Catholic institutions and individuals in delivering services they consider morally abhorrent."
He also zinged the Catholic bishops as he explained this is the liberalism in action which they supported: "The Catholic bishops, it serves them right. They're the ones who were really hot for ObamaCare, with a few exceptions. But they were all in favor and this is what it looks like when the government decides it's going to make your health care choices for you."
David Ignatius, a former Assistant Managing Editor for business news at the Washington Post and Executive Editor of the International Herald Tribune, praised Obama's nimbleness:
The White House argues that this is a net cost reducer, avoiding pregnancy, women choosing to do that, it's less costly to insurance companies and to society than all of the services associated with pregnancy. I was struck looking at this, yes, the White House probably made a mistake in the initial policy. But the ability to do a do-over quickly, to – you can make a mistake, but you really get in trouble in politics when you're tone deaf, you don't listen to criticism and make changes – and they did make changes and this is now a policy that you can defend. You say, we understand the objections of Catholics that they shouldn't be forced to pay-
Peggy Noonan, on NBC's Meet the Press, observed:
As a conservative, as I look at the administration: here's one thing that I think is kind of new for the past few years, the leftists, if you will, part of the President's base seems to me to be, (a) more leftist and (b) more powerful. When you have a White House in the past month E.J. that says NARAL – National Abortion Rights Action League – and Planned Parenthood are here, the Catholic church and I would argue the First Amendment are here, who wins? NARAL and Planned Parenthood. That to me is the kind of kind political calculation, just politics that is kind of mad, and that suggests a certain sort of -- I hate to say extremism, but something rather extreme. May I say Bill Clinton wouldn't have done it. This is not a traditional Democratic Party thing.
To which, E.J. Dionne Jr., a correspondent for the New York Times and Washington Post before taking up column writing, retorted:
We agree there was overreach on this contraception rule. But I know the Left. The Left is not to the left of where it was. That's number one. Number two, Barack Obama is a moderate progressive with the emphasis on moderate. Most socialists are insulted when Barack Obama is called a socialist. It's absurd that this man is a socialist.
Back to the February 12 This Week, George Will zinged the Catholic bishops as he explained this is the liberalism in action which they supported:
Three points, as Paul Ryan said to you, this is an accounting gimmick that they've done that in no way ends the complicity of Catholic institutions and individuals in delivering services they consider morally abhorrent. Second, you asked the question how did this come about, George [Stephanopoulos], this is what liberalism looks like, this is what the progressive state does. It tries to break all the institutions of civil society, all the institutions that mediate between the individual and the state. They have to break them to the saddle of the state. Third, the Catholic bishops, it serves them right. They're the ones who were really hot for ObamaCare, with a few exceptions. But they were all in favor and this is what it looks like when the government decides it's going to make your health care choices for you.

#2 Obama and the batter's box
Submitted by CO2Maker on Sun, 02/12/2012 - 6:21pm.
I posted this on another thread, but I think it's relevant here, too.
The batter has to stand within the box (at least touching the line). If he has a foot completely outside the box and hits the ball, the ball is dead and he is out.
Batters routinely try to get far back in the box so they have a split second longer to see the pitch and swing at it. Of course, they "accidentally" scuff and smear the line so it is hard for the umpire to see whether the back foot is in or out. Every now and then, the umpire re-draws the missing line and warns the player.
Obama is doing this with healthcare, contract law (GM secured creditors), banking regs, and other things. His strategy seems to be to smear the chalk of the batter's box around insurance coverage. When the umpire (public outcry) calls time, Obama offers to redraw the line (not the ump!) and gives himself an extra inch or two at the back (insurers have to offer contraception "free" so the Catholic employer doesn't have a reason to complain). The ump seems satisfied (MSM and DBM ooh and ahh at his magnanimity) and Obama gains an advantage!
Yep, Obama advanced the ball this week (well, in this metaphor, he advanced the runner).
Looking more and more like Hugo Obama.

Yes, but we had assurances, aka promises, that there would be conscience exemptions.
The Bishops were lied to.
I do support health care from conception to 25. Most of today's chronic health issues could have been avoided had they been treated when they were children saving millions of dollars.

Submitted by Galvanic on Sun, 02/12/2012 - 7:08pm.
. . . supported the health care mandate on everyone as long as the Catholic institutions were exempt?
If so, I don't understand how they could support forcing other employers to provide contraceptive services the bishops were doctrinally opposed to makes it all okay. For example, what about a small business owner who happens to be Catholic and objects to the mandate?

Yes, but we had assurances, aka promises, that there would be conscience exemptions.
If you have a citation showing that, I'd appreciate it.
I think that's what the bishops hoped but I don't believe it was ever promised up front.

This reminds me of Genesis, when God confronted Adam about the forbidden fruit. Our first rationalization

I think the Bishops are busy blaming the problem on the President that was given to them?

let us not fall for the media and the White House game.
The so called Catholics that these cite in their polls are FAR from being real practicing Catholics. These individuals are Nominal/Cafeteria Catholics who step inside a Catholic church only on Easter and Christmas. They could careless about anything the Church teaches or says.
The true and real practicing Catholic vote went overwhemlingly to John McCain in the last election. This is a distinction that the media and the White House have conviniently failed to make.
Let's not fall for the propagand being pushed by the Left on this matter.

#21 Stupak was either gullible or deceitful
Submitted by Galvanic on Sun, 02/12/2012 - 9:42pm.
Coming from a heavily Catholic congressional district, pro-life Stupak assured his constituents that he only voted Yes after the President personally assured him that he would write an Executive Order to exempt religious institutions.
So, either Stupak was naive and trusted Obama, or Obama agreed to let Stupak use the EO claim as a cover when there was no intention to sign one.
Now Obama is trying to enact a law that (a) two-thirds of the pulbic wants repealed, (b) is being challenged by a couple dozen states in Fedreal Court, and (c) even some of the Democrats who voted for it no longer support it.
This is Obama's election year trap, and he made it for himself.

It must frost Leftist Media Hacks knowing that they will forever fail at defending charges that Obama is a radical Leftist. Use of the 'fabric-softening' word 'Moderate' seems unable to stick, despite the exhaustive efforts of Leftist Media Hacks like Dionne. That must be the reason why he and all the other Obama-worshipping Leftist Media Hacks seem to be aging horribly before our eyes; their failed struggle is exhausting them.

We know the clergy have a pretty firm understanding of having been snookered. The problem is that these bishops, in bedding down with the President in the first place, have lost a degree of standing with the flock now, expecially in light of the President's most recent olive branch offered.
Message to clergy: If you really believe contraception is so bad, you should've been preaching from it from the pulpit rather than mailing it in to your limited circulation magazines.
Personally, I got tired of your watered-down sermons and walked away. But I'll stand with you now because you represent real people in need of real leadership.

#27 Cool Arrow, I have to say, I
Submitted by Liberallies on Sun, 02/12/2012 - 6:17pm.
Cool Arrow,
I have to say, I was talking to a priest I know about the fact that priests don't teach. We believe in confession, but nothing is said about it in Church. We are against contraceptive, and nothing is said about it. it is as though the american Church expects its flock to know without teaching it.
One thing he did say is that very conservative priests are coming out of the American seminaries today. A lot of Liberalism snuck into the American Church in the 60s, 70s, 80s, but it is being pushed out. The priest also said that unfortunately, too many priests rather be liked, they rather have peopel in the pews than teach the Truth which scares people out of the pews.
I was taught very "conservative" Catholicism, which it is not conservative, but the real Catholicism. I grew in Venezuela hearing the priests tell their flock how contraceptives, abortions, not going to Mass on Sunday and holy days of obligations is wrong, sex before marriage is wrong, how not helping the poor, out of your own free will, is wrong. How not obeying the 10 commandments is wrong, etc, etc.
When my parents moved us to the USA, they tell me now, they were shocked at how Liberal the American Catholic Church was as compared to the Catholic Church in Venezuela.
I know we do not see eye to eye on religion, but I agree, too many Catholic priests, Catholic schools have not been evangelizing, teaching catechism as they should. Just the other day my friend was telling me how they have a daughter ina supposedly great Catholic school. On her first day of class, she brought home great and very good history books, science books, math books, etc. When my friend got to the religion books, they were simple coloring book. My friend was shocked and went to talk to the Catholic school administration asking where were the books by St. Augustine, St. Thomas more, St. Thomas Aquinas and the other Doctors of the Church which teach the Faith and explain it in detail.
I hate to say it, but in a way, I am glad this happened. Hopefully the American Catholic Church will wake up and not support anything coming out of this horrific Presidential Administration.
by the way, I have always hated Obamacare and my dislike for it is based on Roman Catholic teaching.

Somebody mark this day down as an historic moment.
Were it not for the 9 years I attended Catholic School under the watchful eye and capable teaching of Nuns, I would be somewhat confused by the big hoopla over contraception and abortion. Additionally, my mother, who raised 12 of us, wouldn't think of taking the pill.
But I never heard contraception preached against from the pulpit. I'm just considering there must be many Catholics out there who didn't attend Catholic school, who never heard this law addressed from a position of authority.
Those are the Catholics scratching their heads asking "Yeah, I heard something about it, but all of a sudden you're serious about that stuff?

Cool Arrow,
Yeap, mark this day as a historic moment!! :-)
Yes, I have Nominal Catholic friends who are scratching their heads and saying, really? the Catholic Church is serious about this contraceptive thing isn't She. However, like you stated, they inform me they were not taught by priest that it was wrong rather it is hearsay from television shows, movies, etc. The Church has failed in the USA in many instances all in the name of getting people the pews filled up, which as we know, pews have been empting, not filling.
i have been lucky enough to be able to find strong and true Catholic churches in Chicago and I have heard priest talk hard and loud against contraceptives, abortions, etc. But many of the minituaes as to why these are wrong must be taught in a classroom as you say you were taught very well by nuns.

#30 I guess the Catholic Church,
Submitted by motherbelt on Sun, 02/12/2012 - 8:42pm.
I guess the Catholic Church, like all institutions, goes through stages. For a time, teaching about God's love, not God's law, was the rage. Then the "social" gospel usurped theology. And now I believe the serious teaching of morals is coming back, as well as an emphasis on one's relationship with God.
Remember, after Vatican II, almost 50 years ago, when Mass began to be celebrated in the "vernacular," some of the words and phrases were changed from the exact Latin translation, to make it more modern and more, I guess, "people-friendly."
I'm sure you're amused, as I am, at the new and improved English translation of the Mass, which is is closer in translation to the original Latin. So I'm scratching my head, thinking, why didn't they just leave the translation accurate the first time?

Submitted by Cool Arrow on Sun, 02/12/2012 - 8:43pm.
I guess I was in 3rd Grade when Vatican II was held. In the years after, it seemed the Church trended decidedly away from authoritarianism to the point that by 1971, the (guitar, mind you) instrumental during the Communion service was, "Make It With You" [Bread].
I kid you not. The Jingles of Ray Repp, though well-intentioned, had so completely replaced those beautiful old standards that the elders were completely unaware of the change in ambiance.

#32 Cool Arrow, Yeap, the guitar
Submitted by Liberallies on Sun, 02/12/2012 - 10:47pm.
Cool Arrow,
Yeap, the guitar and other "cool" instruments and some popsy songs replaced the beautiful old songs. A Church which is literally a 10 minute walk from me has a Mass for the youth and they have an electric guitar, drum set, etc. It drives me nuts since I feel it takes away from the solemnty of praying and worshiping the Almighty.
However, I am encouraged by the fact that things are chaning within the Church and it is turning the pendelum back to the true and real Catholicism in the USA. Believe me, how astray the Church has gone in the USA is not the same in other nations.
In Mexico, for example, the bishops have zero problem telling politicians who publicly support abortion that if they are Catholic, communion will not be given to them. I am waiting for the same type of action from the Bishops in the USA. I think the Bishop of St. Louis or Kansas City have done this, but not the United States Conference of Bishops as a whole.
I am sorry Cool, I am truly sorry for all the things that we Catholics have done to drive good people like you away from such a beautiful Theology. I include myself in here because too many times I have lacked understanding, charity and patients.

#33 Motherbelt, But that is just
Submitted by Liberallies on Sun, 02/12/2012 - 10:37pm.
But that is just it. The Mass in Spanish did not need to go through the changes that the English Mass just went through. I found it a bit amusing that some English speaking Roman Catholics were having a cow over the changes. I always tell this people, the Spanish version of the Mass needs not change since we kept the exact Latin translation.
Something happened in the USA where the Church became very Liberal. It is coming back, thank goodness, but too many flock have been led astray.
God is all Love, but He is All Just too and we MUST obey His laws.
I am always appauled at Churches which remove the Sacristy from the main hall of the Church where people gather to participate in the Mass. I completely dislike Churches where people don't kneel and a pet-pevee of mine is when people hold hands for the Lord's Prayer. This is all stuff I never saw in Venezuela and shocked when I saw it here.
The Church in the USA has to decide, does it want to fill up the Churches with water down Theology that makes people feel good or do they want to lead their flock to Heaven, even if, sadly, some are lost. The Church will loose many more with the former than with the latter.

#36 Before the libutard media
Submitted by Slyrr on Sun, 02/12/2012 - 5:43pm.
Before the libutard media starts crowing 'serves them right', they ought to remember it's the 1st Amendment that's on the chopping block with all this. I saw writers saying stuff like 'maybe it was a mistake to put freedom of religion in the constitution' while in their mad scramble to protect Obama's illegal actions.
If they're willing to help Obama shred freedom of religion, what makes them think Obama will balk at shredding freedom of the press? Give this foul man freedom to chop out bits of the Constitution that he doesnt' like, and you media types will find yourselves just as much in his crosshairs as the Catholics you seem to despise.
Remember - this is the same man who slobbered all over Hu of China and said he'd rather be King of China because in china they can kill the media on whim from the leaders.
You think Obama wouldn't do the same to you? He's aching to round up the media people he thinks have embarrassed him (by exposing his lies and incompetence), and make sure they 'disappear'.

UNITED STATES SENATE Committee on Foreign Relations FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 11, 1959 STATEMENT ON CUBA BY SENATOR J. W. FULBRIGHT MR. President, the Foreign Ministers of the American Republics convene in Santiago this week to consider tensions in the Caribbean. These tensions are due in large part to the Cuban revolution and to the accession to power of Dr. Castro. Whether one likes Dr. Castro or whether one approves his policies, it cannot be denied that as of this moment he has the support of the majority of the Cuban people. Dr. Castro has also become a symbol for many of the people of the Caribbean area. His leadership of a political and social revolution in Cuba the catalyst element that stirs demands for change throughout the Caribbean. Whence this revolution goes -- to the right or to the left – when it stops -- and who will get hurt are of vital Importance to the United States, not only because our economies are closely related but because of the geographic proximity of Cuba and the United States. Although what goes on in Cuba and the Caribbean is of great importance to us, the attitude and policies of the United States toward Cuba are of even greater significance to Cuba. The United States is so big and so strong as compared with Cuba, and Cuban sensitivities to American intervention are so great that almost anything we do may be misunderstood and self- defeating. There is great need for patience and understanding on our part, because mutually peaceful end productive relationship between the United States and Cuba in the future will depend not only upon the ability and responsibility of Cuban leaders, but perhaps even more upon our understanding of the forces at work in Cuba and our patience -- and sometimes – firmness – in dealing with those forces. I know there are many in this country who have suffered losses as the result of recent events in Cuba. And when American property holders in Cuba are threatened with expropriation, it is easy for them to believe the Cuban government is dominated by comunists. I do not know whether Dr. Castro is a communist or whether his government is dominated by communists. W might remind ourselves, however, that several decades were seized, chaos reigned, and Mexico for years was unable to attract private American investment. At that time many Americans confused a rising social consciousness and a Mexican nationalism with communism. But today Mexico is a great and good friend.
Object Description
|Speech given by Sen. Fulbright in which he called for a calm and measured response to the turmoil surrounding the Cuban revolution and the ascent to power of Fidel Castro. Sen. Fulbright recalls the similarities between the events in revolutionary Mexico and Cuba, and warns of the dangers in confusing a rising national consciousness with communism.

Toledo Fire Department crews are on the scene of a vacant house fire in east Toledo.
Flames broke out just before 4 p.m. Tuesday at a home in the 400 block of Oak Street. Smoke could be seen billowing out of the windows of the home around 4:10 p.m.
It is unclear what sparked the blaze, but firefighters do say it is suspicious.
Firefighters say they are taking a defensive approach, which means they are trying to protect themselves by backing off, instead of forcing their way inside.
It appears no one is hurt and crews are dealing well with the heat.
No other homes are in danger.
Firefighters battled another vacant house fire just a few blocks away on Euclid Avenue Tuesday morning.

There can be no doubt that the current situation on bad debt in the water industry is neither sustainable nor acceptable. It already adds about £15 to the bills of all customers who do pay, including those who are financially vulnerable.
Water companies work hard to manage bad debt, but they currently simply do not have sufficient information on who is liable for charges, particularly for rented properties where occupancy changes frequently - and about 80% of debtors live in rented properties. This makes it harder for companies to tackle the debt problem.
To reduce the burden on customers who do pay their bills, water companies need better information, available routinely, for all rented properties, not just for some properties for some of the time. That's why the government should implement as soon as possible the requirement for all landlords to provide information to water companies on who is liable for charges.
The water industry will make it straightforward for landlords to provide information to water companies by setting up an easy to use website, but the alternative voluntary approach proposed in the government consultation just won't work.

A Triangle company is providing security for people who fear they may be at risk during the Olympic games in Sochi.
TigerSwan, based in Apex, has an operations center where they are monitoring clients around the globe, including in Russia.
The company has a team on the ground to swoop in and help within minutes should trouble strike.
Each protectee is equipped with a panic button of sorts to signal for help. TigerSwan is then able to pinpoint their exact location.
"TigerSwan's biggest concern for our clients is they are in the wrong place at the wrong time," says James Reese, CEO of TigerSwan.
The company says they believe the Olympic site is safe--but outside the security zone, its another story.
"The average fan or family member, starts to fall down the security level," says Reese.
He adds, "With the location, where Sochi is, near Dagestan, they have their own internal conflicts going on. It's a critical area of the world right now."
