Full Report: Spanish baby trafficking claim
A woman from North Yorkshire who gave birth to her first baby in Spain twenty years ago, believes her child was stolen to order.
The country's baby trafficking scandal is thought to involve many thousands of babies and there have been public demonstrations in Spanish cities by parents who are convinced that corrupt doctors, nurses and nuns stole newborns to sell for adoption to wealthy couples.
Ruth Appleby, from Catterick, was told that her daughter Rebecca died soon after birth, but she has since uncovered evidence and now believes that Rebecca was in fact stolen.
She spoke to our correspondent, Rachel Bullock.
You can watch the full report on that story below.

Nova-Kem chemical processing plant in Seward catches fire shortly after noon, ending more than 20 fire crews to the scene, and forcing residents out.
It started with an explosion. That drew Larry Fender out of his garage and into the street.
"It started getting a lot of heavy duty smoke," he says. "And then we got down there and we seen a couple of employees coming out of the building with hazmat suits, running. and we figured that's about the time we turned around and left because the smoke was going out across the cornfield out over the houses at the time."
Soon, police were door to door, forcing the whole town of Seward, and the surrounding two miles, out. It was no longer safe for them to be at home.
Mike Knoup, Deputy Chief of the Pecatonica Fire Department says,"they have tanks with chlorine gas in them and if they were to rupture we wanted to make sure that the public in the immediate area was evacuated."
Residents were directed north, to Pecatonica High School. Principal Todd France was called to open the building for those displaced. "Our building's fully open we've had some kids in our gym we have TVs, we have the bathroom. We're willing to help Seward any way we can," says France.
Emergency crews also took up residence in front of Pecatonica High School while they waited for commands. Fire chiefs made the decision not to fight the fire, instead, let it burn out on its own.
"The particular chemical that they manufacture here can be unstable and can explode with water," says Captain Charles Barnes, with the Rockford Fire Department's Hazmat Response Unit.
More than 8 hours after the fire started, the main building is a total loss. The structure collapsed, and is still smoldering.
The homes and streets of Seward remain abandoned tonight. Residents will not be able go back until fire crews and the Environmental Protection Agency has a chance to survey the damage. That won't happen until Monday morning.
"Nobody wants to be put out of their house at night but they're handling it well," says Knoup.
A few local fire crews will stay on site through the night to monitor the fire.
Only one person was injured, a plant employee, who was taken to an area hospital for treatment. His injuries are non-life threatening.
The Red Cross was called to assist those evacuated at Pecatonica High School. Some chose to stay with relatives, others mentioned free lodging at the Rockford Radisson hotel thanks to it's owners and the owners of Nova-Kem.

She enjoyed gardening and spent countless hours tending her flowers and gardens. She also enjoyed entertaining and frequently catered weddings and parties at their country home.
Mrs. Cook also loved to travel and enjoyed family vacations in Mexico, and after her children were raised, frequently traveled around the country.
Sheryl is survived by her husband, Rick Cook; three children, Keith Cook, Somer Cook Acton and Alisha Cook; two siblings, Cynthia Evans Mantese and WD "Dub" Evans Jr.; four grandchildren; and one niece.

New research is showing the benefits of vitamin d goes way beyond our bones. We met a Mitchell woman who was literally sick and tired of being sick and tired. The run-down working mom found relief in an unlikely, but easily accessible place: the vitamin aisle.
Shawn Miles and her OB/GYN Dr. Elizabeth Campbell at the Avera Women's Clinic on the campus of Avera Queen of Peace in Mitchell made a remarkable discovery early in 2009 when Shawn came in for her yearly exam.
Shawn says, "The prior year I was sick a lot with sinus infections. I had missed roughly 5 to 6 weeks of work, my energy level was down, I had body aches. I just wasn't feeling like I should be feeling."
Dr. Campbell had blood drawn to check Shawn's Vitamin D levels. They came back extremely low. Dr. Campbell prefers those levels be higher than 50. Most of ours aren't.
Dr. Campbell says, "We've known for a number of years that Vitamin D is good for our bones and teeth. We've also learned once you've met the required amount for your bones and teeth then Vitamin D gets to all kinds of other things like cancer prevention, diabetes prevention, heart disease prevention. Everything we want."
In order for our body to convert the suns energy into Vitamin D, we need to be in the sun for 30 minutes over the lunch hour with as much skin exposed as possible. No one in the upper Midwest can do that in the wintertime so that's why supplementing is so important.
Dr. Campbell says, "D3 is the one. The recommendations 2 years ago doubled what the government was recommending. But I really think we should be taking 10 times that amount."
Before the recommendations changed, if you took a multi-vitamin (which typically has 400 units of D) you were on par with the recommendations. That no longer holds true. Dr. Campbell suggests you also take a Vitamin D3 supplement daily with 2000 units.
Shawn says, "Because my levels were so low, she has me taking 5000 units a day. Since then I feel so much better. I have no aches or pains in my legs like I had, no body aches, no major bouts with sinus infections. It's been very beneficial for me and my family. I have everyone in my family taking it."
A little pill packed with a vast array of long lasting benefits.
Before you start taking a Vitamin D supplement, you might want to get your levels tested at your doctor's office. It's done through a simple blood test.

In search of a better education, Nick Wettee left his war-torn country for America. Looking within himself, he's found the confidence to fulfill his dream of helping others back home.
Nick Wettee knows what it means to work hard for his education. Born in Liberia, on the west coast of Africa, he's experienced firsthand the horrors of war.
"When I was about 7, a war started going on in my country," Wettee explains. "The war was very intense. School was not an option, so we didn't go to school."
His father knew it would take a bold move to make sure his children were properly educated, Wettee adds. "My dad is a firm believer in education, so we moved to America to have a good shot at being educated."
Today Wettee is a leader and a dental assisting student at Eastland Career Center in Groveport, Ohio, but he remembers that right after escaping the war, things weren't easy for him. "It was a real tough adjustment," he points out. "I knew English because our primary language [back in Liberia] is English, but I still had to adjust to the accent, because I had a real strong accent. I had a real hard time talking to people because they could barely understand what I was trying to say."
However, experience in SkillsUSA as a local and state officer has helped out there. "SkillsUSA has really helped me build my confidence in speaking in front of a large group of people," he says. "I'm more confident. I don't worry about my accent, but it's the message I'm trying to deliver. My confidence helps them relate to me."
Wettee plans to attend college and then dental school. For now, he is proud to be serving SkillsUSA's high school division as a regional vice president. "I want to broaden my horizons and better myself professionally," he says.
However, the student's plans aren't only focused on his own professional development. He wants to follow his father's example. "There is still a war in my country [of birth]. I still have family there," Wettee says. "I just want to put myself in a position to help them the same way my dad helped me."

"My associate's degree is my working degree"Johnston Community College is the college of choice for my family.
I earned my associate's degree in radiology at JCC 35 years ago. My daughter, stepson, and son-in-law have also all received their education at JCC.
I can't say enough about the value of a community-college education. I went on to receive my bachelor's degree in my profession, but I've always considered my associate's degree to be my working degree. It's what has allowed me to make my living in radiology and work as an instructor at JCC for 28 years. I received the faculty of the year award from my peers earlier this year for my dedication and commitment to the college.
One of the greatest benefits of community colleges is that they give you the opportunity to learn a trade and within two years you can get a good-paying job. I have always been so thankful for my associate's degree. It is the basis for my radiology knowledge and has allowed me to have a profession that I enjoy and am so proud of.
I'm Marty Wood and I'm a 1975 graduate of Johnston Community College.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Four star sport route right up the center of the headwall of El Cajon Mt, El Cap Wall. Climb up steep rock to a roof. Pull through the roof onto more steep climbing above. A very "soft" 5.11. Mildly pumpy with mostly positive holds. Mental crux is the roof but technical crux actually occurs higher up when the pump starts to set in. Wild position on the headwall with steep yet straightforward climbing and an unusually "fun" roof give this climb two thumbs up. Rap anchor at top.
Just right of Tears of Envy (5.11b), use anchor just down and right of Tears anchor. Starts at the left of the wide vertical black streak at the headwall and finishes up in the right side of the streak. Look for the black roof about 1/3 of the way to the top out anchor which is visible from the start of the climb.
Bolts, rap anchor with steel 'biners.

Peace in a Pod - Talk about putting the "cart" before the horse. Perhaps our mayor, and his developer friends, also feel that children are an impediment to expansion. After all they require more schools and teachers and playgrounds which could better be used for more office buildings.
Or perhaps the "public benefit" required of all developers should be that they must build enough residence space in the same building as the offices (no 'in lieu' fees) to house all the people who work in that building. Then there would be no need for any traffic at all.
Our mayor needs to take himself to Stanford Hospital as soon as possible for treatment of his medical condition...a severe case of cranial-rectal insertion.

"Scharff referred to a "civil war" between Palo Alto's pro-development forces and the "residentialist" folks who want to preserve a small town feel."
So, in his own words, the Mayor of Palo Alto is at war with those of us who want to preserve the small town feel of Palo Alto.
Anyone else have a problem with the Mayor declaring war on the "folks" that vote here?

Cities are for real people to live in, not cash cows for developers and their buddies in government. Otherwise why not just tuck us into those commuter drawers like the Japanese use for a few hours of cramped sleep before running off to make some jerk a billionaire? Who says you need a life, peasants?

Thanks for the link to the damselfly photo, musical.
I never realized there was a difference between dragonflies.
The damselflies for the most part push their wings back when they are landed, dragonflies keep them out, and the dragonsfly's hind wings are wider. Interesting.

Man Lives Through Real Shark Week
Dan Collins pointed me in the direction of a pretty incredible story. It was about a man from Largo, Florida. Seems 29 year old Erick Norrie was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
According to Fox 13 News out of Tampa,
It happened just off the Abaco Islands in the Bahamas, where he and his family were vacationing. They had just had lunch, and Norrie went snorkeling and spearfishing for their grouper dinner for later.
Norrie had just speared a grouper and was ready to put it with his collection when he realized that he was being bitten…by a shark!
"I didn't keep my head cool, the Lord kept my head cool," said Norrie reverently. "Because I couldn't have done it without him; he sustained me, kept me calm."
Norrie has also been struck by lightning, and his right leg has been bitten by a rattlesnake. He's also been punched by monkeys twice, and now can claim that he's survived a major shark bite.

Brock Abroad: Namibia
May 2014 program
The Office of International Services and Programs Abroad provides members of the Brock community with the opportunity to learn more about southern Africa. For 3 weeks in May following the year-end final exams,this program allows for students to learn outside the traditional elements of education (lectures, labs, and seminars).
Participants will have the opportunity to volunteer with children, other university students and adults. This is an excellent opportunity for students to learn about Namibia by working with Namibians. Working alongside local partners offers participants the opportunity to not only learn about the country but about themselves and their place in the world. The program also provides students with social events and travel opportunities to experience the varied culture within Namibia. Students are encouraged to explore key social issues: poverty, education, and community development, and are expected to participate in seminars at Brock during the months prior to departing.
The BA: Namibia program is well-established at Brock and in May 2013, it celebrated its seventh year. During this time, over 100 Brock participants have found it to be a life changing experience. Also, if you are a member of International Plus, you can use this experience toward completing your IP certificate.
Participants stay in a student guesthouse in Katutura, a township of Windhoek (the capital of Namibia). Students can expect to share a dorm-style room with 2-4 other participants.
Volunteer Placements
Work days usually start at 8:00am and finish by 5:00pm. During the morning, participants will work on projects: painting daycares and kindergartens in the local area, assisting at soup kitchens and doing maintenance on different playgrounds in the neighbourhood. Participants will volunteer at the Bernard Nordkamp Center (BNC), an afterschool centre that sees 150 children daily; the Moses Garob Youth Center, to help with their soup kitchen program; assist with the annual Junior Highland Games tournament, and many more projects!
Meet who you will be working with in Namibia! Check out this video made by Kevin Anthony from Utah Valley University.
Best Namibian Children from Kevin Anthony on Vimeo.
Weekend Excursions
Participants will have an opportunity to visit different parts of Namibia, exposing the group to the natural beauty of the country. Participants will go to Etosha National Park and experience a true African safari. We will also visit Spitzkoppe to see rock art, and to the beautiful town of Swakopmund, on the Skeleton Coast. Participants will try sandboarding in the Namib Desert, and take a boat tour out to Walvis Bay, where they befriend many seals, dolphins and pelicans.
Estimated Program Cost:
The program will cost approximately $3600. This includes airfare, accommodation, in-country transportation, some meals and sightseeing excursions.
How to apply:
The Brock Abroad (BA) application requires students to upload a statement of purpose (approx. 250-500 words) addressing why you are interested in the BA program, ideas about fundraising and what you hope to learn from the program. Your application and a $500 deposit (cheques payable to Brock University) are submitted to International Services & Programs Abroad. Applications are submitted on-line, and the deposit is submitted to International Services & Programs Abroad. To apply, please click here. Please note: applicants not selected for the program will have their deposit returned.
Due to high interest in the BA: Namibia program, another trip is being offered.
April 23-May 15: Trip is full
May 15- June 7: Still accepting applications
If you have any questions, please contact email@example.com

Ricky Barnes was born to be an athlete, with a father who played in the NFL, the competitive fire and ability were breed into him at an early age growing up in Stockton, CA. Golf became Ricky's primary sport when he attended the University of Arizona from 2000 to 2003, where we won several awards including Pac-10 Player of the Year and first-team All-American honors. In 2002 he won the much famed U.S. Amateur Championships over Hunter Mahan 2 & 1 in the final, earning them shared honors of the 2003 Ben Hogan Award. In 2009 Barnes had a break out performance at the US Open with a record setting 36-hole start of 8-under through the first two rounds. Ricky would end up tied for second place, but definitely put a solid stamp on the PGA Tour for Oakley and himself.
"I am a very busy guy who likes to have a lot of fun whether I am in Vegas with the boys or at the O party during the Phoenix Open! I think I am so busy cause the ADHD kicks in, and I hate sitting around waiting for something. I believe I need to make it happen in order to succeed. The best time for me though is having an off week from the Tour and either playing golf with family or friends cause my time with the both of them is very limited. If not that, then going to any sporting event and watching other athletes compete. Love live sports, concerts and the rush of winning a golf tournament!"

What Are Risks
Going for a par 5 in 2 over water with a one shot lead, or picking the right college to attend for the best four years of your life.
Is different because they don't care about the reaction one of there products will receive, as long as there is a reaction. That is why I love sporting all of the gear! Good people with great product can make one he hell of a party!
I love the fans, they help bring the rush and make playing golf for a living that much cooler!!
Travel Can Be
The best and worst of times sitting in the middle in a coach seat is horrible, or sometimes riding in your own private jet with 14 seats and your the only one in it, I know crazy!! But it is something that is a very big part of every year.

I Prefer
Spyglass over Pebble, Blondes over others, Coors light over Bud Light, Callaway over Taylor Made, and summers over winters!
Cigarettes Are
The thing that I hate most! Can make a perfect 10 become a 2 in one puff. In other words not around me with one!!!

From day one all passengers had to endure continuous deck replacement with workers sawing, chiseling and sanding this deck with debris being continually being blown across the whole deck and even into the cabin hallways. The deck became almost unusable for passengers even though the maintenance workers tried to limit the extent of the blown around debris by wetting down the deck area, it became almost impossible because of the high winds across the ship.
I am concerned that this Cruise Line can think that this is an acceptable condition for Cruise passengers to accept as part of their Princess cruise experience. If Princess Cruises had known that maintenance was scheduled for this Cruise at this time, It should have pre-warned intending passengers booking on this cruise of the maintenance schedule giving them the option of opting out.
Will we be taking another Princess Cruise? Only if we want another Dry Dock experience!

Big East Will Hold Syracuse And Pitt To 27-Month Commitment, Ain't No Thang To The ACC
In the past eight years, five universities have bolted the Big East for the green of the ACC. The smart money says the University of Connecticut is next, even if nemisis Boston College quietly tried to squash such a notion. New UConn President Susan Herbst is off to a solid start. She's doing the meet-and-greets. She's making key personnel changes. She's championing UConn as a burgeoning research, health care and bioscience magnet. And she insists that academics and recruiting compliance will be a major focus of her top-flight athletic programs. Herbst even gave a six-figure donation to her new school. Here is where Herbst needs to be very careful. UConn's 15th president has to make sure her words match her actions (and the truth) when it comes to UConn's commitment to the Big East.UConn's Herbst Caught In Athletic Money Squeeze (Courant.com)

Jim Rutherford took over as general manager of the Hartford Whalers in 1994, oversaw the team's move to North Carolina in 1997 and put together teams that won three division titles, two conference championships and the Stanley Cup in 2006. His tenure included some great moves as well as a few not-so-great ones, certainly more of the former than the latter.
Best trade: In January 2002, Rutherford sent oft-injured and frequently wandering defenseman Sandis Ozolinsh and his massive contract to the Florida Panthers for Bret Hedican and Kevyn Adams, who would play essential roles on two conference championship teams and a Stanley Cup champion while cleaning up one of Rutherford's own missteps. Honorable mention goes to beating the rest of the NHL to Doug Weight in January 2006 without giving up very much to do it.
Worst trade: History may yet put trading Brandon Sutter and a top-10 pick for Jordan Staal in this spot, and there are few other candidates because this is unquestionably Rutherford's strongest suit. For the moment, trading Sami Kapanen to the Flyers for the dismal Pavel Brendl and depth defenseman Bruno St. Jacques is No. 1 – a paltry return for a popular player who had many good years left.
Best free-agent signing: Rutherford's ability to convince Ron Francis to come to North Carolina and exorcise the demons of Hartford in 1998 did wonders for the fledgling franchise's credibility. The team went to the playoffs in three of the next four seasons, led by Francis, whose impact on the Hurricanes is immeasurable. Collectively, the signing spree on either side of the lockout – Matt Cullen and Frantisek Kaberle before, Cory Stillman and Ray Whitney after – deserves mention.
Worst free-agent signing: It's hard to imagine the future of the franchise had the Red Wings not matched the Hurricanes' ridiculous $38 million offer sheet for Sergei Fedorov in February 1998. (In Rutherford's defense, it was pushed by owner Peter Karmanos.) The Fedorov money ended up going to Francis that summer. Tomas Kaberle would be in this spot had Rutherford not quickly dumped his contract on the Canadiens.
Best re-signing: Getting Rod Brind'Amour to sign a long-term contract extension before training camp in 2001. Brind'Amour arrived in the Keith Primeau trade in January 2000 determined to get out as soon as possible. After his first full season, he was in for the long haul, and the Hurricanes were never the same again.
Worst re-signing: There was nothing wrong with giving Alexander Semin $7 million. Giving him the security of a five-year contract was baffling – and the Hurricanes paid the price in Rutherford's final season. The string of inflated contracts for Chad LaRose cannot be overlooked either.
Best deliberate inaction: In the summer of 2000, Rutherford let Paul Coffey, Gary Roberts, Sean Hill and Andrei Kovalenko walk as free agents and left Robert Kron exposed in the expansion draft – five of the team's eight top scorers – to much consternation. The Hurricanes not only made the playoffs, but brought Hill back by trade a year later to contribute to 2002's run to the Stanley Cup finals.
Worst deliberate inaction: In the summer of 2010, the Hurricanes thought Ray Whitney was no longer worth top-line money at age 38 and let him depart as a free agent. Whitney scored 61 goals over the next four seasons, and his leadership and personality were sorely missed. There's also a lifetime achievement award in this category for an entire generation of useless Hurricanes backup goalies.

NBC Uses Trump Endorsement to Promote DNC Attacks on Romney
Following Democratic National Committee talking points to the letter at the top of Thursday's NBC Nightly News, anchor Brian Williams saw Donald Trump's endorsement of Mitt Romney as an excuse to bash the Republican frontrunner: "New fallout from Mitt Romney's choice of words about the very poor, and tonight a new endorsement from a man who's catchphrase is 'You're fired.'"
In the report that followed, correspondent Peter Alexander gleefully touted Democrats smearing Romney in the wake of Trump's backing: "For Romney, the endorsement of a billionaire businessman with this as his signature line [clip of Trump saying "You're fired"] Gave Democrats new fodder for attacks on cable." A nasty sound bite followed from DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz: "They both like firing people and they've both made millions doing it."
After playing a clip of a new DNC ad making the same point as Schultz, Alexander offered up a video montage of Romney's supposed gaffes during the campaign, declaring: "And it's not the first time Romney's gaffes have gotten him into trouble."
On Friday's Today, the Trump endorsement itself was treated as if it were a new Romney gaffe. Co-host Matt Lauer wondered: "What about the timing of this?...he stands next to a billionaire the day after he made this gaffe concerning the very poor. Couldn't the Romney campaign have called Donald Trump and said, 'Look, we appreciate the endorsement. Could we hold this off a little while and do this a few weeks down the road?'"
Meet the Press host David Gregory further criticized the Romney campaign's handling of the endorsement: "I just think that there was an aspect of this that was ham-handed. I think, you know, you had Mitt Romney saying, 'I've been successful, but Donald, not quite as successful as you.' I don't that really helps with the down-with-the-people tour over the next few weeks." Gregory added that Romney has "got to kind of work through this."
Turning to chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd, Lauer speculated on how soon Romney would run away from Trump: "Would you expect Mitt Romney to now take this endorsement and yet carefully, subtly, but immediately begin to distance himself from Donald Trump?"
Considering Trump is the star of one of NBC's long-running reality shows and a frequent guest on Today, it does not appear the network is eager to "distance" itself from the real estate mogul anytime soon.

It gave Brian Williams fodder.
Submitted by Superman on Sat, 02/04/2012 - 8:18am.
It's so funny to hear Brian Williams say that this gives Romney's opponents fodder because Brian Williams himself is a Romney opponent. It is clear as day that Brian Williams is a shill for Obama and the Democrats and is using NBC Nightly News as a vehicle to praise Obama and the Democrats and attack Romney and the Republicans. And I think that's a shame because people deserve to hear fair and objective reporting from the nightly news programs and not political activism.

On October 12, Ruben Navarrette Jr. penned a pompous commentary for CNN.com ("Minutemen have a right to be idiotic"). His litany of name-calling and bogus accusations against The Minuteman Project membership places him solidly in the category of propagandist journalists who "spin" their stories to suit their bias -- valid facts and objectivity be damned.
President Bush will speak from the Oval Office Monday about immigration and border security, hot-button issues that have inspired massive demonstrations and a growing political divide.
When is a great idea about securing our nation's porous borders not a great idea? Surprisingly, when it comes from the country's top border official.
The Department of Homeland Security has said it will send more than 500 additional Border Patrol agents to Arizona this year to help stop the flow of illegal aliens into the United States.

Pro-lifers held their breath the day the world received a new Pope. They did not question his pro-life credentials but wondered if he would speak forcefully.
An old quote soon surfaced and concerns faded. "Defend the unborn against abortion even if they persecute you, calumniate you, set traps for you, take you to court or kill you. No child should be deprived of the right to be born, the right to be fed, the right to go to school."
This June the Pope also will play a central role in the Vatican's annual celebration of the Gospel of Life, the papal teaching published by Pope John Paul II in 1995. His successor, Benedict XVI, started the annual celebration a few years ago that features a papal mass for pro-life leaders. The new Pontifical Council for the New Evangelization, established by Benedict to encourage a reawakening of the faith in traditionally Christian countries, leads an expanded celebration this year.

The jury in the murder trial of abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell returned a verdict and found him guilty on three of the four first-degree murder charges he faced.
Gosnell was found guilty of killing Baby A, Baby C and Baby D and found not guilty of killing Baby E. He was also convicted on hundreds of lesser charges ranging from infanticide to running a corrupt organization.

O God our Creator, through the power and working of your Holy Spirit, you call us to live out our faith in the midst of the world, bringing the light and the saving truth of the Gospel to every corner of society. We ask you to bless us in our vigilance for the gift of religious liberty. Give us the strength of mind and heart to readily defend our freedoms when they are threatened; give us courage in making our voices heard on behalf of the rights of your Church and the freedom of conscience of all people of faith.
Grant, we pray, O heavenly Father, a clear and united voice to all your sons and daughters gathered in your Church in this decisive hour in the history of our nation, so that, with every trial withstood and every danger overcome— for the sake of our children, our grandchildren, and all who come after us— this great land will always be "one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

A Statement of the Administrative Committee of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
March 14, 2012
The Administrative Committee of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, gathered for its March 2012 meeting, is strongly unified and intensely focused in its opposition to the various threats to religious freedom in our day. In our role as Bishops, we approach this question prayerfully and as pastors—concerned not only with the protection of the Church's own institutions, but with the care of the souls of the individual faithful, and with the common good.
To address the broader range of religious liberty issues, we look forward to the upcoming publication of "A Statement on Religious Liberty," a document of the Ad Hoc Committee for Religious Liberty. This document reflects on the history of religious liberty in our great Nation; surveys the current range of threats to this foundational principle; and states clearly the resolve of the Bishops to act strongly, in concert with our fellow citizens, in its defense.
One particular religious freedom issue demands our immediate attention: the now-finalized rule of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that would force virtually all private health plans nationwide to provide coverage of sterilization and contraception—including abortifacient drugs—subject to an exemption for "religious employers" that is arbitrarily narrow, and to an unspecified and dubious future "accommodation" for other religious organizations that are denied the exemption.
We begin, first, with thanks to all who have stood firmly with us in our vigorous opposition to this unjust and illegal mandate: to our brother bishops; to our clergy and religious; to our Catholic faithful; to the wonderful array of Catholic groups and institutions that enliven our civil society; to our ecumenical and interfaith allies; to women and men of all religions (or none at all); to legal scholars; and to civic leaders. It is your enthusiastic unity in defense of religious freedom that has made such a dramatic and positive impact in this historic public debate. With your continued help, we will not be divided, and we will continue forward as one.
Second, we wish to clarify what this debate is—and is not—about. This is not about access to contraception, which is ubiquitous and inexpensive, even when it is not provided by the Church's hand and with the Church's funds. This is not about the religious freedom of Catholics only, but also of those who recognize that their cherished beliefs may be next on the block. This is not about the Bishops' somehow "banning contraception," when the U.S. Supreme Court took that issue off the table two generations ago. Indeed, this is not about the Church wanting to force anybody to do anything; it is instead about the federal government forcing the Church—consisting of its faithful and all but a few of its institutions—to act against Church teachings. This is not a matter of opposition to universal health care, which has been a concern of the Bishops' Conference since 1919, virtually at its founding. This is not a fight we want or asked for, but one forced upon us by government on its own timing. Finally, this is not a Republican or Democratic, a conservative or liberal issue; it is an American issue.
So what is it about? Read more...

Thank you for participating in our poll. Here are the results so far:
JONESBORO, AR (KAIT) - Good news for all you diet goers with a sweet tooth. According to a recent study published in the journal, Obesity Facts, allowing yourself a treat during the weekend may help you stay focused on your weight loss goals during the week.
However, for some people the cheat meal can do more harm than good for their diet.
"I'd have my cheat meal and would go from a 2,000 calorie diet plan, to a 6,000 calorie cheat day," said Ryan Emery. "It did nothing but add more body fat to me."
Emery said in order to stay fit and healthy, he's said goodbye to the days of fatty foods.
"If I decide to go out to eat I'll go to Subway or get a baked meal," said Emery. "If I go to Chili's or something like that, I'll choose a baked salmon or something on the healthy choice menu."
However, Dustin Biggs with 10 Fitness said he does recommend it for some people.
"If your hard core dedicated and need to lose 20 pounds in 30 days, I probably wouldn't recommend a cheat day," said Biggs. "It does help keep you on track though, because if you work hard all week you can give yourself that reward.
Sticking to those healthy meals all week long can be tough. Biggs recommends preparing meals before the week ahead, to keep you on track long-term.
"If one day out of the weekend you can prepare all your meals throughout the week, you're less likely to cheat," said Biggs.
It's also important to remember that a cheat meal does not mean an entire cheat day. A full days worth of over loading on calories can ruin what you worked hard for during the last seven days.
"If you have a whole cheat day, you're going to blow through 2,000 calories on just drinking sodas all day," said Biggs.

Gringotts Bank
From LeakyPedia
Revision as of 03:12, 21 January 2011 by Nellythemarrow (Talk | contribs)
Gringotts Bank is a wizard's bank located in Diagon Alley. It has vaults in tunnels hundreds of miles under London and is run by goblins. Gringotts is known for its tight security and Hagrid notes that "yeh'd be mad ter try an' rob it". There are many spells and enchantments protecting the vaults, as well as dragons that guard the high-security vaults. [1]
[edit] Known Gringotts Employees
[edit] Engraved Poem on Gringotts Doors
Enter, stranger, but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed,
For those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in their turn.
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there.[1]

Please use the buttons below to see more information on Worcester Warriors and matches between Wasps and over the years.
Young says the Adams Park factor will be a real boost
Jones & Johnson both singled out for praise
This weekend's fourth round tie is Wasps first match at their home ground at Adams Park; a venue that proved a relatively happy hunting ground for Young's side last season.
"We turned Adams Park into a real fortress last season and we were unbeaten there in the league until late March," Young said.
"It is important for us to get that going again and make sure it's the place that away teams dread visiting. Our fans always get behind us there and we're looking forward to getting back out there in front of them."
Wasps have had to settle for three losing bonus points away from Adams Park in the opening weekends of the league, with Young frustrated that his side is playing in fits and starts.
"We've had positives – our set piece has been strong and our defence is improving – but the individual errors we've been making have been harshly punished and we haven't been anywhere near the level we can be. When we've clicked in parts in games we've scored tries and we have faith and confidence in the squad that we have that we have the quality to be much better."
Injuries have not helped in the team's preparation for the opening weekends, with Elliot Daly, Tom Varndell, Hugo Southwell, James Haskell and Phil Swainston all among the walking wounded and with Andrea Masi likely to be out for some weeks following a knee injury last Friday night.
However with Daly set for a return this weekend, and with others making steady progress, Young sees the glass half full.
"Our attacking game has definitely stuttered but when you look at the guys who are out that will give you a big part of the reason why. We can certainly sharpen up there, but we are sorely missing some of those guys, especially in the back line."
Young also reserved praise for 21-year old Sam Jones, who in the opening game of the season became the Club's youngest ever captain, and experienced back row Ashley Johnson, who have both stood tall in the first few games.
"Sam has been outstanding and has been probably the best player on the pitch for us over the first three games both in attack and defence and his stats bear that out. He is always in the top three performers in every department and I think he has really grown and been fantastic for us. Ashley has performed really after a tough pre-season and I have been very happy with how he is going as well."
London Wasps play Worcester Warriors on Saturday, September 28 at Adams Park (KO 3pm) Tickets are just £10 for Juniors right across the stadium and adult tickets start from £17. Click here to book your seats.

ITV Wales have looked into what happens to the 5,000 children in "care" in Wales. Their text says:
An ITV Wales investigation has revealed the true challenge facing our adoption services across Wales.
And with the number of children in foster care, homes and other servies soaring to a record high, the figures we've uncovered make grim reading
There are currently five thousand children who are in care in Wales. Many of those are not suitable for adoption, but of those that are only 200 complete the process each year
The average time for an adoption is just over two-and-a-half years.

In the new program, students study English literature within the context of genres instead of the traditional historical approach…
Survey courses, long a staple of undergraduate English programs, offer students a sampling of authors and works within an historical time period. For English majors, they form the foundation of the work necessary to acquire a degree.
Randolph College is about to rewrite the book on learning about English literature.
The changes were sparked by the English department faculty recognizing three trends: more students were expressing interest in the creative writing emphasis; creative writing students were taking historical survey courses, which did not serve their needs well; and the students in the creative writing and literature emphasis areas were not learning together—even though they were all English majors.
"Our students did not work together until their senior seminar," said Dan Stiffler, a professor of English. "We decided to integrate the learning experience for creative writing and literature students."
After a six-year process of thought and planning, and plenty of input from students already in the program, an innovative new English program rolled out at the beginning of this semester.
In the new program, students study English literature within the context of genres instead of the traditional historical approach that is often presented in anthologies published by Norton, for example.
To ensure that all English majors have an understanding of the creative process—whether they intend to write or analyze English literature—students are required to complete Introduction to Creative Writing. They also complete three core courses dealing with poetry, prose, fiction, and drama. The core courses are designed to provide a basic understanding of English literature, reveal the structure of literary expression, and help students develop skills in critical analysis and creative expression. Students select their advanced courses in three categories: genre or mode; period, topic, or movement; and author(s). Within the categories, they will find, for example, existing courses, such as Magical Realism, a world literature course; courses that have been refocused, such as The Concord Circle, about the discourses of Romanticism; and new courses, such as Inspired by the Sea, about the sea not only as a setting but also as a transnational theory.
The changes in the English program have spun off four new minors: drama, fiction, literature, and poetry. The minors provide English majors, and all Randolph students, with an opportunity to delve into specific genres in which they are interested.
"We're excited about this fresh approach that offers our students a variety of tantalizing ways to engage literature and learn from it," said Heidi M. Kunz, chair of the English department.

Masons turn spotlight on their 'secret society' (From Herald Series)

Masons turn spotlight on their 'secret society'
6:00pm Wednesday 28th August 2013 in News By Damian Fantato, Council Reporter, also covering Oxford city centre. Call me on 01865 425429
Buy this photo Former policeman and now Provincial Grand Charity Steward Roger Hampshire, from Bampton, pictured with a model of a traditional mason's hoist and two blocks of stone – intended to illustrate the Mason's spiritual journey from rough block to polished
MANY consider it a secret society shrouded in mystery, but Oxfordshire's Masons say nothing could be further from the truth.
While many of the society's practices – such as its famous secret handshake – are destined to remain undisclosed, the Oxfordshire branch of Freemasonry – which has around 2,000 members – is hoping to shed a little light on what it is.
Stephen Dunning, the Provincial Grand Master for Oxfordshire, says a lot of what is said about Masons is "bunkum".
He said: "I am saddened by the misunderstandings, not frustrated about them because often I find that the people who come out with these theories don't want to find out the facts.
"The charities we raise money for have no problem with the fact that we are Masons.
"They are incredibly grateful for the support.
"I believe we are part of the community and I would like the community to have as much information about us as possible."
Mr Dunning, 61, who lives in Bampton, near Witney, and joined in 1984, was introduced to Freemasonry through his father-in-law. He said most of the organisation's "secret" rituals are published in books available from mainstream bookshops.
Former police officer and Witney resident Roger Hampshire, the Provincial Grand Charity Steward, said: "The main reason people join the Masons is friendship and having somewhere to meet like-minded people and some of them are very keen to know about the charitable side of it.
"I joined Thames Valley Police in 1972 and I became a Mason because it was just a way of socialising with my colleagues."
One of the best-known myths about Freemasonry revolves around its use of the so-called "all-seeing eye" in its iconography.
Some claim that the eye's appearance on the Great Seal of the United States shows the Freemasonry's influence in the country's founding.
But Mr Dunning said: "One of the key things about becoming a Mason is the belief in a supreme being and the all-seeing eye is just a representation of that."
Which religion that Supreme Being comes from is irrelevant.
Mr Dunning says Oxfordshire's Masonic lodge has members who are Christian, Jewish, Muslim and Sikh.
Mr Dunning, a lawyer, said: "We have got lots of people of different faiths.
"Nobody is surprised when you tell them you are a Mason. I have a magazine called Freemasonry Today which I leave in my office. I am very proud to be a Mason."
Mr Hampshire added: "Nowadays it seems quite normal."
Origins lost in history and the myths that followed
Freemasonry is a fraternal organisation, the precise origins of which are unclear. However it owes its creation to the loose organisation of medieval stonemasonry.
Membership is restricted to men aged over 21 who believe in a "supreme being".
The United Grand Lodge of England – whose Grand Master is the Duke of Kent – estimates that there are around six million Masons worldwide.
There are around 8,000 lodges in England. They are grouped into Provincial Grand Lodges, of which Oxfordshire is one, roughly equivalent to the country's historic counties. These make up the United Grand Lodge of England.
According to the United Grand Lodge of England, Freemasonry instils in its members a "moral and ethical approach to life", of which charity work forms an important part.
Famous Masons include Sir Winston Churchill, Sir Ernest Shackleton, Peter Sellers, Sir Alf Ramsey and, locally, former Oxfordshire County Council leader Keith Mitchell.
Myths about the Masons include:
MASONIC bible – Masons have been accused of using their own mysterious bible in their rituals and while a bible does feature in the society's ceremonies it is actually just a King James Bible with some Masonic decorations on the front.
SECRET handshake – The famous secret handshake does exist – and like many Masonic traditions owes its origins to medieval stonemasonry – but is rarely used outside of the society's rituals. Mr Dunning said he had never knowingly received the handshake outside a Masonic setting.
SYMBOLS – Many of the symbols Freemasonry uses are ubiquitous, such as the all-seeing eye, and have led to conspiracy theories that Masons are behind world events such as the American Revolution but many of these symbols are older than Freemasonry and have been given "occult" meanings relatively recently.
County lodges
The Oxfordshire Provincial Grand Lodge was formed in 1837 with Lord Henry John Spencer Churchill – the fourth son of the fifth Duke of Marlborough – as the first Provincial Grand Master.
There are nine Masonic Centres around Oxfordshire, including in Witney, Thame, Banbury and Bicester but Oxford's Masons are currently searching for a home.
Before moving to Summertown, Oxford's Masons were based in High Street.
50 High Street, opposite Examination Schools, was rebuilt by Magdalen College in 1901 and the Masons moved in six years later.
They were based there for more than 50 years until the Temple at 333 Banbury Road was dedicated.
However last year the hall, which was also used as a conference centre, was closed and sold off because of a lack of conference trade.
It has since been purchased by development company Homespace which wants to turn it into 17 homes.
Oxford's Masons are currently meeting in temporary accommodation while they search for a new base.
Charity work
In 2012 the lodges which make up the Oxfordshire Provincial Grand Lodge donated £58,000 to 138 charities including Thames Valley & Chiltern Air Ambulance, Maggie's Cancer Centre, Helen and Douglas House and Oxfordshire Domestic Abuse Service.
The Province itself donated £18,450 to some 25 charities including Sobell House Hospice, Bicester Food Bank and Oxford University Development Trust.
Every year Oxfordshire's Masons pay for a group of disabled and disadvantaged children to go to a panto – this year Aladdin in Henley.

i can't help thinking of an episode of "Morse" where his superior invites him to join the Masons. i thought it was exaggerated stereotyping but it seems truth is stranger than fiction. in real life, apparently, Morse would already have been a member!

Freemason1264 says...
a while ago, some were calling for lists of Masons to be published, especially of those who were also members of the Judiciary. Jack Straw, the then Home Sec. investigated and judged that no such listing was necessary, as there was no evidence of ANY wrongdoing. Indeed one of the arguments that surfaced was that Freemasons themselves stated that no other society had been forced to publish membership lists so why should they?
So you and a lot of other people are suspicious of what Masons "get up to"?...especially if some members are also involved in public bodies like the Council? What a load of tosh. The reason that you and people like you want to see such lists, is because you have been taken in by the "rumours" that abound on the internet and other popular forms of communication... all without substantiated evidence.
One of the famous ones is the Leo Taxil affair. Google it and then maybe your views will change. Or are you one of those that has a closed mind?

Masons are outdated with their sexist views because they do not allow women. While this is the age of fraternity, this is not the patriarchal age like yesteryear. Freemasons need to update their organization for the times or at least recognize women's freemasonry as regular. Otherwise they'll go the way of the dodo, and other esoteric societies more adapted to the times will take over.
the Order of women Freemasons don't admit men...so do you think THEY are sexist? It is simply tradition, because of the all male membership of operative stonemasons of yesteryear. Freemasonry works on a "traditional" footing and as such acknowledges the OWF. Freemasonry has worked extremely well with the same rules for last few hundred years.. so if it's not broken, why fix it?
Also, I can see why if an individual were to be disadvantaged by a matter dependent on their sex, why it would be a cause for concern, but there is no material advantage for ANY Mason be they male OR female, in fact we are Freemasons because we choose to give rather than to receive (and not just cash, but time as well!) so what's the problem?

Very good. I left the jackets on the potatoes. I used 1 1/2 t. dill weed and add 1/4 t. salt and left out the curry powder because I do not like curry.

Amarillo, TX -- When a district judge ruled this week that the Texas school financing system is not only deeply flawed, but inherently unconstitutional, public schoolteachers cheered -- but charter schools had less to celebrate.
Monday's ruling gave public schools a sense of hope that equitable funding could someday be restored to Texas classrooms - but charter schools - publicly-funded schools held under less government oversight - were denied both funding and the ability to expand.
District Judge John Dietz ruled in favor of public schools, but rejected a push to end the cap on how many charter school permits can be issued, which currently stands at 215. Charter school advocates say more schools would create more competition, which would ultimately raise the standard for education in Texas, as Director of Amarillo's Richard Milburn Academy Becky Pinson explains,
"I think it's just like anything else; competition makes us better, and if more charter schools were to come in and those charter schools do a good job, then I think it makes all of us work harder to do a better job."
Governor Rick Perry has voiced his support for both charter schools and the much-contested voucher system, saying the more choices parents have in their child's education, the better that education will be.
"Limiting a child to just one opportunity does nothing more than limit that child's future," said Perry in his Jan. 29th State of the State Address. "The way forward must involve more public charter schools, which offer parents a tuition-free alternative to their neighborhood school."
Public schoolteachers say state funding is stretched thin enough as it is, and throwing charter schools into the mix will only complicate matters, as Amarillo ISD Board President Jim Austin says,
"I hate to see a distraction away from what we're trying to accomplish, and a diminishment of funds away from what we're trying to accomplish. There are enough distractions in the funding model without adding charter schools to it."
If you'd like to see Governor Perry's recent speech to the Texas Education Agency or find a bit more perspective on the matter, just follow the links attached to this story.
