A 21-year-old Citrus Heights man described by a prosecutor as a "danger to society" was given a 17-year prison sentence today by a Placer County judge for burglarizing two homes and taking the victims' vehicles, eventually crashing both of them.
Daniel Joseph Homan was given the prison time by Superior Court Judge Larry D. Gaddis, who listened to pleas from Homan and his family that the defendant did not have a history of physical violence against others.
Homan and his parents asked the judge to send him to counseling or a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program instead of to a lengthy incarceration.
But Gaddis noted that Homan had once participated in an armed robbery by a gun-toting partner and he also said there was no indication that the burglaries and taking of cars in May and June of 2008 were committed while Homan was under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
"It doesn't take counseling to understand that breaking into houses and taking cars is wrong," the judge said.
Homan was up for sentencing after he pleaded guilty on May 19 to four charges, including two counts of residential burglary, one count of possession of a stolen vehicle and one count of fleeing from an officer while driving recklessly.
Deputy District Attorney Rick Opich asked for a maximum prison sentence of 18 years and four months, saying Homan had now compiled three violent felonies on his criminal record, making him a three-strikes offender.
In addition to committing the burglaries in which the victims were inside the homes sleeping, Homan, while fleeing from authorities in a stolen car, came upon a vehicle stopped at a red light in Roseville and pushed the vehicle into the intersection to continue his flight from the law, Opich said.
When Homan, who was carrying four passengers in the car, came to a dead-end street, he smashed through the barrier, went down an embankment and the car plunged into a creek bed, where the vehicle caught fire, Opich said.
Homan was caught as he then tried to run away.
"He put himself and his four passengers at risk," Opich said. "He shows a willful, wanton disregard for the safety of others."
The prosecutor also said Homan has continually violated rules in the Placer County Jail, where he has been an inmate.
"He's demonstrated an inability to obey any rules – either on the street or the jail," Opich said.
In imposing the prison sentence, Judge Gaddis also ordered Homan to make restitution totaling $1,704 to the victims whose cars were taken and to pay another $1,800 to a state restitution fund.

Research Agendas And Student Work
Military Sociology
My research in the area of military sociology focuses on the use of civilian contractors as "force multipliers" in our contemporary armed forces. This line of research examines whether and to what extent integrating civilian contractors with our military personnel affects such important outcomes as job satisfaction, commitment to the military, unit cohesion, unit readiness, and one's decision to remain in military service. This work has included combat arms soldiers (infantry & combat aviation), combat support units (e.g., logistics, military intelligence, and military police), as well as samples of department of the Army civilian employees and smaller samples of civilian contractors. To date data have been obtained and analyzed from the Army and Navy. The overriding conclusion is that the integration of contractors with military and DOA civilian personnel does appear to have negative impacts on cohesion, satisfaction, organizational commitment and retention. These results are despite reports by service members that they see lots of benefits from contractors (and some challenges) and that they often enjoy working with them. The statistical modeling of these results tell a very different story that that of individual soldiers' experiences—demonstrating unintended and unexpected consequences and the power of sociology to uncover patterns in social life that affect people despite what they themselves report being aware of.
I also write on civil-military relations in contemporary American society, as well as exploring historical trends on issues ranging from race, gender, physical ability, to changes in organizational structure and its effects on service members and civilians.
Environmental Sociology
My second research agenda, with Ruth Kelty of the National Coastal Ocean Service, focuses on environmental sociology. In particular, having grown up in Alaska and been a commercial fisherman for much of my young adult life, I developed an interest in the social organization of rural Alaskan fishing villages. This line of research is focused on the relatively small, highly seasonal communities in Bristol Bay, Alaska that participate in the annual sockeye salmon fishing. Taken together, the five fishing districts in Bristol Bay represent the largest and arguably best managed wild salmon fishery in the world. An international mining company has leased land at the headwaters of the rivers that support this salmon fishery and has applied for permits to use open pits mining to extract copper, gold, molybdenum, and other minerals— it is thought to be the largest gold deposit in the world (known as Pebble Mine). This has cast in motion heated arguments about whether and how such minerals should be extracted—framed by many fishers and native people as competing resource uses: "we can have fish or mining, but not both since the mine destroys the habitat for the fish." The mining company argues that fish (and other flora and fauna) can safely coexist with modern mining practices. Quite a bit of environmental impact research has been done on the physical science side, very little has been done on the human impacts. Our research focuses expressly on the human dimension of the fisher/ecosystem. Initial studies have focused on the identities fishermen and women develop based on their relationship to the environment in these fishing districts and the effects that the presence of these identities have on their attitudes toward natural resource health, resource use in the fishery, and the expected impact of Pebble Mine on the natural environment and their own way of life/culture/communities. We also examine fishermen's and women's place attachment to these rural fishing communities. This refers to how strongly they connect with and are committed to a particular place (geography, community, natural resources, etc.), again connecting to expected changes that would be brought about through developing Pebble Mine. This applied sociology is expressly intended to inform local, regional, and national leaders and policymakers on the human component of these rural Alaskan ecosystem since humans are part of, not apart from the "natural" ecosystem. This work combines both qualitative and quantitative methodologies to achieve both breadth and depth in understanding on the issues under investigation.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- Going into their veto session Tuesday, members of the Illinois General Assembly got what could be considered good news.
Illinois no longer has a 200 billion dollar pension debt. It's only 173 billion dollars.
That's not because of anything the General Assembly did.
The pension funds are earning more on their investments than was expected.
Moody's figures the state's pension debt differently than other rating agencies, who figure Illinois's pension debt is about 100 billion dollars.
So far the pension reform committee has not come up with a bill to pay for the 100 billion dollar unfunded retirement program. Members of the committee are reportedly split over a savings plan.
A spokesman for Speaker Michael Madigan is quoted as saying that 'if a reform plan can be agreed upon, Madigan could call the House for a vote before January'.
"We have waited for this a long time and going into our next budget cycle looking at the numbers without pension reform we're going to have a devastating budget year. My hope is that we can bring some finality to this issue," said St. Rep. Jehan Gordon-Booth/(D) 92nd Dist.
"There's been some proposals I agreed with some that I haven't. The bottom line is what is going to be brought to the floor and at the end of the day what the Speaker is going to be allowed to be voted on," said St. Rep. Mike Unes/(R) 91st Dist..
Same Sex marriage, tax incentives for businesses and tougher gun penalties are issues state legislators could consider this week.

Dear neighbors,
Several more things to avoid:
#1 - Do not say, "Here, Kitty, Kitty, Kitty." (Do not approach or draw attention to yourself)
#2 - Do not leave out trays of fine cheeses and Chardonnay (do not leave food outside for your pets)
#3 - Do not pet the large cat even though you hear HER purring. (Cats like cool spots in moist gardens for daily naps).
You will be taken by the beauty of the cat and the quiet nature. Ah, but that is the oxymoron. Such beauty is dangerous.
Be careful near creeks and open space, please,
One HAL of a Pal

So on Thursday, May 1, 2008, what's the current status of the whereabouts of the mountain lion? Is the mountain lion still wandering around near the creek? Has it been found and relocated such as taken back to Mt. Diablo?
Lots of people are avoiding walking on the path near the creek and on Iron Horse trail near the mountain lion sighting, waiting to hear about the current whereabouts of the mountain lion that was sighted at Osage Park.
Thanks for your update.
on May 1, 2008 at 12:35 pm
I just called the Danville Police Department and there is "nothing new." Just that one sighting. But thanks for asking - we'll keep calling and keep you informed.
on May 2, 2008 at 8:41 am
These sightings seem to be the norm when you build and build and build -- taking away their habitat. It's scary, but realize what society (builders, etc) are doing to these poor animals.
I am not surprised.

"Let [Truth] and Falsehood grapple; who ever knew Truth put to the worse, in a free and open encounter." [Milton, "Areopagitica," 1644]Truth squad in U.S. political sense first attested 1952. Truthiness "act or quality of preferring concepts or facts one wishes to be true, rather than those known to be true," catch word popularized in this sense by U.S. comedian Stephen Colbert, declared by American Dialect Society to be "2005 Word of the Year."
Used in various senses in Scripture. In Prov. 12:17, 19, it denotes that which is opposed to falsehood. In Isa. 59:14, 15, Jer. 7:28, it means fidelity or truthfulness. The doctrine of Christ is called "the truth of the gospel" (Gal. 2:5), "the truth" (2 Tim. 3:7; 4:4). Our Lord says of himself, "I am the way, and the truth" (John 14:6).

Isaac McDonald, a tight end and outside linebacker recruit from Hialeah (Fla.) Champagnat Catholic School, was dropped Tuesday by Clemson, just three months after the Tigers accepted his commitment. The reason?
Clemson, like all colleges, is prohibited from commenting on recruits. But McDonald's coach, Jon Drummond, is not. And he took to Twitter to explain the situation.
@JimmyDSmith man a coach today tried me and one of my kids.....oh hell naw. Stay tuned for something tomorrow. Weak add Clemson— Jon Drummond(@Genron187) June 6, 2012
In 8 yrs I've never steered a kid wrong.— Jon Drummond(@Genron187) June 6, 2012
Clemson gon tell me I shouldn't have taken a player in visits...man they crazy as hell. A verbal commitment dnt mean u own a kid— Jon Drummond(@Genron187) June 6, 2012
They cut from the list and consideration....and coach Dslams the phone setup like we owe him. Shttt they can have that attitude n shove it— Jon Drummond(@Genron187) June 6, 2012
Clemson with that BS, but I bet they let committed players on their campus all day any day....smh keeping it moving— Jon Drummond(@Genron187) June 6, 2012
Idk what a school says, I'll will always take my kids out of the city and show them places they might never go again. It's bigger than sport— Jon Drummond(@Genron187) June 6, 2012
I'm obligated to my kids and their families first before any school. Lol I'll never let a school bully a kid.— Jon Drummond(@Genron187) June 6, 2012
@RivalsCNee they had the jump on everyone and my kid never wavered about his commitment. Even when he picked up Oregon and OKstate— Jon Drummond(@Genron187) June 6, 2012
@RivalsCNee you know Chris, it's a huge slap in the face to me. I personally spend my time n money and gave them 2 unofficial visits— Jon Drummond(@Genron187) June 6, 2012
Well thats unfortunate RT @clemsontyger04 @Genron187 It is known that if u commit to Clemson you agree to quit taking visits. This isnt new— Jon Drummond(@Genron187) June 6, 2012
In today's college football world apparently few do RT @Clemalum07 @Genron187 apparently you dont know what the word "commitment" means.— Jon Drummond(@Genron187) June 6, 2012
Basically, Drummond is saying that Clemson decided to drop McDonald because Drummond took him or planned to take him on visits to other schools. Verbal commitments are non-binding on either the school or the player, and Clemson is completely within its rights to drop McDonald.
Whether Clemson had the right to do this is different than the question of whether it was the right thing to do. If Clemson told McDonald that he would be dropped for taking other visits, I have no problem with this. If they did not, it is not a good precedent to set.
I have heard that there may be more to this story, but at this point I am not comfortable putting it out there without verification from another source.
In any case, McDonald is now back on the market. He has several nice offers, though I am not sure of the validity of each claimed offer.
Clemson sits at six commitments for the class of 2013.

Arrival & Embarkation: No one met our flight in Newark, but a call to the contact number in our cruise documents had reps to us within 15 minutes. We purchased our transfers there, as they were not available on line, and were at the terminal very early. We were whisked through the area for suite guests so quickly that we didn't even have time to pick up the day's schedule and ship plan before going aboard. Rooms opened at 1:30 pm, just as promised.
Grand Suite accommodations: Impressive! Spacious, plenty of closets and storage, some unexpected perks like a coffee maker and an iPod connection on the alarm. The layout was different than expected, with the sitting area at the foot of the bed rather beside it - cabin was wide fore-and-aft as well as inboard-to-outboard. Large balcony with one chaise lounge and a breakfast table (full size, not the mini-tables some ships have) and two chairs. More privacy than other ships I've sailed; steel floor to ceiling bulkheads between balconies instead of the 6-foot fiberglass doors on other lines. Given the overall luxury of the room, we expected a whirlpool tub rather than the standard one we had. Small thing.
Public spaces & entertainment: The Royal Promenade, lined with shops and restaurants, is four stories of enjoyment. We spent a lot of evening time at the Aquarium Bar, where a Latin band kept people on the dance floor. The next best dance venue is Dizzy's up on Deck 14; a bigger dance floor but less vibrant. All areas were well-kept, open and roomy, hardly felt like we were inside. The ice show was spectacular, skilled cast decked out in fantastic costumes, superb lighting and effects. Theater productions were more modest, minimal sets and obviously well-worn outfits.
Pools: The usual pool & hot tub combinations, plenty of chairs. The Solarium is theoretically an adults-only refuge, but the signage is not clear and no crew enforce the rules. We did ask children to leave, so had to accept the outraged glares of the parents - would be much better if the rules were more visible and the crew more helpful.
Dining: The main dining room was a real let-down. We had My Time Dining, and made reservations for each day before the cruise. We requested group dining, but were seated as a couple each time. Despite reservations, we waited 15-20 minutes in the foyer each night. Service was minimal, wait staff was competent but busy, and the food itself was adequate at best. It seemed they were just cycling people though a 2nd seating, with no personal attention and in a rush to move people along. We gave up eventually, and paid the extra fees to eat at the Portofino the last two nights. What a world of difference! Relaxed, elegant, lots of attention and truly excellent food. Make the time to experience at least one dinner there.
Concierge Service: Perfect. We actually booked our suite because we like a full bathtub and priority boarding, but RCCL gives so many other benefits. Reserved seats for the ice show, theater and pool, canapes and cocktails before dinner, continental breakfast, and the full dining room menu in our stateroom for breakfast, lunch and dinner. No tracking pool towels, an amusing little perk.
Disembarkation: Suite guests had a separate gathering place and got off very early. The one hiccup was, once again, airport transfers. No directions where to find our van, had to wander through the bus loot to find it. RCCL told us we were on the manifest and did not need a voucher, but that was the first thing the driver wanted. He eventually checked our names off his list and let it go at that.

French Letters - Writing Letters in French
Business Letters
Writing a good formal letter in French is less about skill than it is knowing the jargon and the formulas. I've compiled a list of the most commonly needed formulas for commercial correspondence as well as job seekers. There's also a sample letter to help you get started.

Ya'll, it's been almost 4 months since I blogged. Where has the time gone? I am just going to jump back in!
I don't normally decorate for Valentine's Day, but the winter that never ends was calling for a little color and a little change! I collected things that I had around the house, made a little banner out of old hymns and baker's twine, and had a Valentine's Day mantel. I can't decide which piece is my favorite - I love the DIY "LOVE" sign that I made last year, with my sweet kiddos' hand and foot prints. But I also love the heart that Grayson drew on the chalkboard. It's not over the top or overly decorated...but it's perfect for us.
It's good to be back...

Grayson was playing around on his Etch-a-Sketch for about 5 minutes and said "Mom, Dad, look at what I made!" This kid is 5, nearly 6, but has far superior spatial reasoning skills than his mom. It would have taken me much longer than 5 minutes to "draw" my initials on the Etch-a-Sketch.
This baby's gummy smile is one of my favorite things. Seriously.
I finished up dinner and looked outside to see this...Scott and Grayson practicing passing the football while MK watched from her stroller. He is the best daddy ever.
This dog is never far from us during the day. He thinks he is a guard dog. Love him.
I made Pioneer Woman's Chicken Parm recipe last week and MK could not get enough...neither could Scott and I. The recipe is delicious and super easy. Try it.
Scott and I were working on a large magnetic board for our church lobby. Sheet metal is sharp, y'all. Scott finished the rest of it up by himself while MK and I played in our awesome Wellspring Babies room.
Snuggling with this sweet girl before MOPS the other morning. Love her!
My fall was made yesterday morning. We drove through a little donut shop in town for donuts and they had PUMPKIN donuts. It was seriously fantastic. I'm ready for another one!
Happy Friday, y'all!

"a beautiful mess" string art cross...
Have you heard of MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers)? I have been involved with one group or another since Grayson was born, almost 6 years ago! I am in charge of the "Creative Activities" for our group and this year's theme is "A Beautiful Mess". When looking for a craft that would fit the theme and be a little on the frugal side. I came across this pin for a string art cross on Pinterest and it was perfect!
We have a a friend who has access to free barn wood, so my husband pulled out a bunch of boards and cut them into roughly 5x7 pieces.
I made a little pattern for the nail placement and we hammered in the nails for all 70 boards!

I bought small brad nails from Lowe's and a multi-pack of embroidery floss from Hobby Lobby (with my 40% off coupon!). The whole project ended up costing a little over $10 for 70 boards! A great, frugal project that is perfect for our theme and perfect for adding a little fall touch to our house.

AIR Director: NPR Serves 'Liberal, Highly Educated Elite,' Wonders How to Justify Public Funding
Sue Schardt, director of the Association of Independents in Radio and a non-board member of NPR's Distribution/Interconnect Committee, has a firm grasp on arguments against the organization receiving federal funding. Criticisms of NPR "do have some legitimacy," she noted, and "we must, as a starting point, take on board some of this criticism."
Scardtnoted during the board's Feburary 25 "public comment" period that "we unwittingly cultivated a core audience that is predominately white, liberal, highly educated, elite."
As a consequence, Schardt added, while the journalism NPR produces may be of high quality, the organization really only serves, by her telling, 11 percent of the United States. In light of that fact, she added, "we need to carefully consider whether we warrant public funding and, if so, what the rationale would be."
The following is partial transcript of Schardt's comment, posted at Current.org:
After working in many parts of public radio — both deep inside it and now with one foot inside and one foot outside — I believe there's an elephant in the room. There is something that I'm very conscious of as we consider this crisis that I'd like to speak to.
We have built an extraordinary franchise. It didn't happen by accident. It happened because we used a very specific methodology to cultivate and build an audience. For years, in boardrooms, at conferences, with funders, we have talked about our highly educated, influential audience. We pursued David Giovannoni's methodologies. We all participated. It was his research, his undaunted, clear strategy that we pursued to build the successful news journalism franchise we have today.
What happened as a result is that we unwittingly cultivated a core audience that is predominately white, liberal, highly educated, elite. "Super-serve the core" — that was the mantra, for many, many years. This focus has, in large part, brought us to our success today. It was never anyone's intention to exclude anyone.
But we have to accept — unapologetically — that this is the franchise we've built.
We have to look at this because the criticisms that are coming at us — whether they're couched in other things — do have some legitimacy. We must, as a starting point, take on board some of this criticism. Before we can set a path, we have to own this.
One choice, at this transformational moment, is to say, "We are satisfied with what we are doing. We — in radio — are providing 11 percent of America with an extraordinary service." If this is our choice, we need to carefully consider whether we warrant public funding and, if so, what the rationale would be.
Another choice is to say, "We have cultivated and built an extraordinary infrastructure of interconnected stations that's now adopting networked digital technologies. More important, we have created a culture of human beings who — in this building, at stations, and in my constituency of hundreds of producers — are fluent in a particular craft rooted in an idealism of service. Individuals whose intention at every step is to contribute to the greater good. Ours is a human endeavor. That is what differentiates us. This is what is at stake. This is what we must preserve."
I believe we need to say, in this moment, "You're right. We are not satisfied, either. Now that we have achieved this huge success over a 30-year incubation period, we now are poised to commit ourselves to translate and bring what we have to everyone in America. Within the next five years, seven years — we set the timetable. We are absolutely committed to serving — truly — and speaking in the voices — truly — of 80 percent or 90 percent of the public." We set our numbers.
No NPR detractor has thus far provided a case this compelling - due both to the force of its arguments and the significance of the person offering them - for a reexamination of the organization's federal funding. Hopefully its backers take it to heart.
Correction: Ms. Schardt is a non-board member of NPR's Distribution/Interconnect Committee. This post has been corrected to reflect that fact. NewsBusters regrets the error.

Highly Educated Elite????
Submitted by pcnav on Sat, 03/12/2011 - 2:58am.The last time this country was ruled by "highly educated elite" they were removed in the American revolution. This country doesn't need any "elites" and a mind "highly educated" is useless if that mind doesn't know how to use that education. If we are to measure the intelligence of people by how much book knowledge they've stored then start by comparing them to a PC computer. A PC can store and use multitudes of data but only if it is told how to use it and that is what these "educated elites" have become. The moment NPR started looking down their nose at people they started losing their listeners. What good is "high quality content" (their view not mine) if it is put out to the public in the most arrogant or boring manner possible. STOP FUNDING PBS AND NPR!!!!!

Sue Schardt should know that the writings' on the wall.
Submitted by daveinboca on Sat, 03/12/2011 - 5:23am.Her astute observations on the tinyness of the NPR audience---20% of Americans define themselves as liberal and 42% as conservative---and its unfair taxing of the masses for elitist highbrow twaddle for perhaps the top-thousandth of the listening audience out there in radioland----all this perceptive analysis makes her totally unfit for the Schiller-brand slamming of tax-paying Christian conservatives unfairly branded with obscene slurs by Anderson Cooper. I do wonder if these creatures at NPR ever get out of their la-la-land enclaves in NYC, Marin County, Vermont & certain college campuses to ever study homo Americanus in its native habitat. You know, the people who actually pay taxes, not the trust-fund socialites and hothouse intelligentsia who sniff their own farts to get high.

WOW! Someone on the "inside" actually gets it.
Submitted by c5then on Fri, 03/11/2011 - 2:46pm.The argument has never been that they aren't good at what they do or that there isn't some segment of the population that sees them as beneficial and worth paying for. The argument has always been that NPR, PBS and the CPB are all firmly entrenched on one side of the ideological spectrum and their programming reflects that. So why should 80% of the population be forced to pay for an organization that serves only 11% of that population. This discussion is always obfuscated by cries that one side is trying to kill Big Bird and fire Bert and Ernie. We have never been allowed to have the rational adult conversation that we need to have. I would argue that PBS, CPB and NPR deserve as much taxpayer funding as FNC, NRO and AM talk radio. It's time for the 30 year-old child to leave the nest and figure out how to make it on their own.

Submitted by Ms. Independent on Fri, 03/11/2011 - 5:56pm.I don't think anyone can argue that Sesame Street couldn't survive on it's own without public funding either. I'm not sure why they are still on the public dole anyway. They must make millions each year on their marketing. Honestly, my kids have owned numerous Elmo dolls, dvds, Sesame St. computer games, and books. They've worn diapers, clothes, and band-aids with the Children's Workshop characters on them. They have used high chairs and playpens covered with images of Big Bird and Cookie Monster. They've had birthday cakes decorated with Elmo and Zoey and I had to pay extra for them because of the licensing agreement. So can someone please explain to me why Bert and Ernie need our contributions. What happens to all the cash coming in from all of the products that they sell?

How NPR/PBS can serve.
Submitted by Gary Hall on Fri, 03/11/2011 - 3:06pm.I wonder if, by noting they only serve 11% of the public, NPR board member Sue Schardt, understands that the 11% is composed almost entirely of a liberal to progressive to socialist and audience. One could also surmise that probably 100% of NPR's staff (inc. the administration) is eagerly feeding news/opinions which neatly fit that audience. Here would be a simple test which could help NPR overcome it's extreme bias, and thus become more acceptable to a more varied audience. Simply ask all of the staff (editors, researchers, writers, analysts) a few simple questions. Do you love Ronald Reagan? Do you consider him to be a great American president and leader? Do you - did you - support his agenda? Have you voted for a Republican in a national election during the past 12 years? Then, fire all of those who can't comprehend that series of questions, and fire 1/2 of those who understood the questions, but who answered no to all of them. Next, go out and hire employees who represent the American people and their views. Heck, if they did that, I'd let em keep some of the Federal money (maybe). (;~> gary

The rest of you rubes are either benignly selfish or outright greedy. The implication is that corporate America and conservatives in general serve no public good, either by trying to hold the line against a devolving of standards and morals, or by providing a much desired good or service at a price attainable by the masses that they are willing to pay, without coercion or force by the hand of government or tyrant.
Other than that backhanded slap, it was an unusual sequence of words to be heard from anyone affiliated with NPR.

Liberal /= Elite
Submitted by ThisnThat on Sat, 03/12/2011 - 11:47am.
She basically says that if you're liberal and "educated"... then by definition you're E L I T E. Period. It's settled, she thinks. Elites have a privileged status perceived as being envied by others of a lower line of order.
The implication is -- if you're a conservative, you simply can't be "Elite". Can't govern. Can't think logically. Probably not educated. And certainly not capable of thinking at a sophisticated level more advanced than the general population.
Here's my definitions: All Liberals = snobs. Male liberals = SOBs. Female liberals = bitches.

If the network was as honest as this lady, they'd be way ahead.
It is not my intention to put words into her mouth, but stating that their liberal audience is "educated," does not mean that educated people also choose not to be part of that audience, nor that educated people are all liberal. As for "elite" to my mind, at least, that word represents a mindset. . . and one that I, along with most people look down upon.
I think she summed up their situation, and frankly, as an educated conservative, who would rather be called any string of four letter words rather than "elite", I don't feel insulted at all by what she said. Quiet the contrary, I'm proud not to be counted among their audience, and look forward to no longer being counted among their involuntary supporters!

Twisted Words
Submitted by desertphreak on Fri, 03/11/2011 - 4:47pm."..we have created a culture of human beings who...are fluent in a particular craft rooted in an idealism of service." I think she meant to say "a particular craft rooted in service of idealism". She had that just backwards. And the number of 11% is probably just about right for the percentage of "whack-jobs" that is the left in this country. And they've run the country (into the ground) long enough.

Ah, another tolerant, middle American, probably worried about the next terror strike in South Dakota. Yeah, made up the apostrophe in its', but then again I wasn't the one mocking the education of another.

Feckless shills don't know any better. They try so bloody hard to be clever, alas, always without success. I have to laugh at the sheer arrogance, though. It's a message board....people don't write War & Peace here, they type (or text) their thoughts. Unless someone is being obnoxious, or attempting to disparage another member....who cares?
The inferiority complexes of the feckless shills are kind of a sight to behold. Absurdly funny, in a sad, sick, trainwreck sort of way. But great sport to shoot down, in glorious flames.

Once, perhaps twice since I didn't "get it" the first time, and well you're still using the word improperly. Shill too for that matter, and if we're still just kicking each other in the nuts, you've improperly inserted commas where they don't belong. Hella good times, your honor.

Multiple times, too. Clicking on your profile is hardly "researching", Feckless. Obviously, it bugs you, or you wouldn't be protesting. TS, ya'll. Of course you didn't "get it" the first time, you had to look the words up, Feckless, not I.
It is to laugh that you think I'm using either one of those two words incorrectly. It is you, Feckless.
Poor little man, I have no nuts, other than those of the pecan and walnut variety. Oops, wrong again. If you had a firing neuron left in that liberal fever brain of yours, you might have taken a clue from the spelling of my screen name...but NO! Either you choose to ignore it, or you're too poorly educated to know any better. Either way, 'tis to laugh.
As for my use of commas, they are MY sentences, and I can break them wherever I choose. My usage is grammatically correct, Feckless. Too bad for you. You are, of course, free to try to prove otherwise, but we all know you're just slinging the insults without any basis in fact.
Toodles for now, Feckless Shill. I'll be around to correct you when you screw it all up again, no fear.

Submitted by Gary Hall on Fri, 03/11/2011 - 5:36pm.
Either they didn't read NPR board member Sue Schardt's commentary, or they decided that censoring the view was more fitting to their agenda.
In "NPR needs to stay neutral," the editorial board misses two basic requirements for an open, honest and productive conversation:
- As Schardt's lays it out - NPR is anything but neutral.
- The LA Times Editoral Board is anything but neutral.

If they were intelligent then they would compare and contrast a free-market economy and understand that with a free-market economy, people are freer politically as well as monetarily. There's nothing intelligent about putting blinders on and ignoring this huge disparity.

And a coffee mug. Maybe an umbrella and opera tickets. At least the lady is glimpsing the truth, although she might start serving the rest of us by re-thinking her contention that public broadcasting alone is made up of "..individuals whose intention at every step is to contribute to the greater good. Ours is a human endeavor. That is what differentiates us." Pretty much everybody on the Right is interested in the greater good, too.

Submitted by filioscotia on Sat, 03/12/2011 - 10:41am.I continue to be absolutely flabbergasted by the way NPR -- top to bottom -- is just incapable of understanding the storm that's raging around them. They really don't get it. I hear echoes of the Captain of the Titanic reassuring the passengers, saying the ship is in fine shape. It's just a little water problem. NPR people are doing the same thing, metaphorically speaking, and I fear they too will "go down with their ship" if they don't wake up and realize how serious this is. I say the best and smartest thing NPR can do at this point is to voluntarily stop taking public funds. Michael Barone has written recently that it really is just just a small percentage of NPR's budget, and they can get along quite well without it. They would have no trouble making up the small deficit with private donations. They would definitely be a lot better off, and it would free them of Congressional oversight forever. They would be free to do anything they want any way they want, and wouldn't have to care what anybody in Congress thinks about it. I really wish they would wake up and recognize that.

Submitted by sarge329 on Sat, 03/12/2011 - 11:21am." Unknowing cultivation " ? I can possibly believe the part about highly educated. But, to make the comment about " cultivating a core audience that is white " suggests that the leadership at NPR is racist. Their leftist slant is obvious, and their attitude during their so-called " news analysis " screams out as elitist. They are smarter than us. They are better than us. This smug, patronizing tone oozes out of their every inflection. So, if they could indeed do without government funding, in other words, our tax dollars, why don't they? Or is it that they want to reindoctrinate the public for free? Free, that is, for them.

The Sonneman 3795 can be installed in a bathroom as long as it is not in direct contact with water source.
can this be installed in a bathroom over vanity, but there is a shower in the same room
A. The Sonneman 3795 can be installed in a bathroom as long as it is not in direct contact with water source.
The Sonneman 3795 is only 30" in width, and while the light output should be plenty to cover the 60" vanity, I know designers generally try to have the lights come closer to 3/4 the length of the vanity.
Would this provide enough light for 2 people over a 60 inch vanity?

Campaign to reform current prostitution laws in UK
To the House of Commons, The Petition of the undersigned, declares that the current laws on Prostitution in the UK are outdated for the twenty first century. The problems with trafficking in the UK demonstrate how the current laws do not assist in reducing prostitution nor do they help to protect vulnerable women who have been coerced or in many instances forced into prostitution. Although slavery was abolished in the UK almost 200 years ago, slavery still exists for many women in prostitution in the UK. We believe that serious action is now needed to combat this horrific human rights abuse. The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons reviews the current laws on the supply of sex and prostitution. The undersigned request that new laws are introduced following the bold stance taken by the Swedish government in 1999 which made the demand, rather than the supply illegal. We believe that prostitution is inherently an abuse of women and does not exist to allow women freedom of choice, but is a symptom of the lack of choice for many women. We believe that prostitution will only be reduced in the UK if the demand for prostitutes is tackled in a thorough and comprehensive manner.

HP ProCurve Networking Offers Dynamic Network Security to Safeguard Lulea Municipality
Download Now Free registration required
Executive Summary
Realising that very few sixth-form students in Lulea were choosing to take the natural sciences programme, Lulea Kommun carried out an analysis of its overall IT infrastructure, which highlighted the need to modernise the entire natural sciences programme and start to make better use of technology. One of the measures required was to introduce technology-based working methods for students as well as teachers. The result was the Natural Science Program IT modernisation project (iNVIT).

Local governments in North Carolina are angry that state lawmakers took away their power to force businesses to purchase annual privilege licenses. The most common refrain: State lawmakers should not meddle in local government affairs.
But that refrain, while it might play well in town halls, ignores the reality of local government financing in North Carolina. Which is to say that towns and counties in the Tar Heel State enjoy no taxing authority not granted by the state.
In other words, the state gave towns and counties the power to levy the privilege license. That means the state, no matter its motive, has the right to take that taxing authority away.
From where we sit, the privilege license is an arbitrary tax on business. One town website we visited said the privilege license allows officials to know who is conducting business in the town. We would think the town could discern that when the business came to town hall to get the water turned on.
By the way, we know of no residents who pay a privilege license so towns can know they're there, though if police reports are any indication, residents cause more trouble than businesses.
It's true too that many towns in North Carolina derive much of their privilege license revenue from an illegal source – Internet sweepstakes parlor outlawed by the General Assembly in a ban upheld by the N.C. Supreme Court. In Clayton alone this past year, town revenue from sweepstakes parlors totaled $124,000, up 287 percent in four years.
But no matter the source of the revenue, state lawmakers determined that towns and counties were relying too heavily on the privilege license, so much so that it was creating a negative business climate in North Carolina. We don't know if that was the case, though $62 million statewide is not chump change.
But we do know that the state can take away any taxing authority it gives towns and counties. The only meddling lawmakers are doing is in their own affairs.

With a population of almost a million people, the Kibera Slum of Nairobi, Kenya is one of the largest and most desperate in the world. Despite the fact that the majority of Kibera residents are employed, the conditions within slums create a cycle of poverty. As families struggle for basic necessities, few can afford a decent education for their children. Without education, generations after generation remain in Kibera without the knowledge or ability to advocate for improved living conditions. The children of Kibera live day to day in squalor; without the most basic of amenities. They live in a world without electricity, running water, sewage or any other governmental infrastructure. The AIDS epidemic has literally decimated families, the greatest impact of which has been on the innocent children orphaned by this terrible disease.
Although the day-to-day reality in Kibera is extremely difficult, people in Kibera exemplify resilience and hope. Parents struggle to keep their children safe, to motivate them to stay in school, and imagine a better future. Children who are orphaned are most at risk as they lose the protection of family. The efforts from within Kibera to protect children are admirable; however, there are limits to even the strongest of wills in the face of such impoverished conditions. People in Kibera need support and partnerships so that their hard-work, creative ideas, and perseverance can truly make a difference.
Please find it in your heart to help us make a difference in the lives of these desperate children.
