i find the obsession with Casey Anthony rather disturbing
She has the exact brand of duct tape in her house - a brand that is uncommon.
Illuminator is a good poster. He sticks to his guns and makes good points. Some don\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t like that.
Quote from: OneTruth on July 15, 2011, 12:37:53 PMShe has the exact brand of duct tape in her house - a brand that is uncommon.And what is this "uncommon" brand of duct tape?
Having been, sadly, forced to get way, way more up on this than I ever wanted it is hard to fathom a scenario that is "reasonable.". The one the defense gave isn't for example. I think people have a bad, and this seems to be true from my time on JD, understanding of what "reasonable" is when it comes to reasonable doubt it isn't that you can create any other story because if you get Joe around it could be aliens and bigfoot that did it.
Well actually from what a few jurors said, they didnt even get that far....Juror #3 said you could go around the room and ask each juror how they thought the child died and there would be 12 different answers. Now how the hell are you going to arrive at a conviction in a capital case when 12 people are looking at this in such different ways? Not many bought the defense theory, but they also didn't buy the prosecution's theory either.I thought the prosecution was over-reaching with the aggravated child abuse. The problem is they never once at any time during this trial presented any evidence that the child was abused. In fact, even the state's own witnesses said it appeared to them as if Casey was a loving mother. They couldn't find a single person that would testify that Casey ever hit, yelled at, or neglected Caylee in any way. Now maybe they could have got her on child neglect (because of the 31 days) or child endangerment.. but the reason they wanted specifically aggravated child abuse is because they wanted a death penalty conviction. In Florida law, aggravated manslaughter of a child PLUS aggravated child abuse is considered first-degree murder. So even if the jury convicted her on just manslaughter and child abuse, the law considers that equal to first degree murder.Proving premeditation, motive, or cause of death is NOT legally required to get a conviction. This is true. However most juries simply wont convict on first-degree murder unless they see motive, pre-meditation, opportunity, and the cause of death. It's a psychological thing with a lot of juries.
I agree the case was sub-optimal in a ton of ways but most of it doesn't much matter. The means of death doesn't matter. She's dead. Who did it? There is no reasonable explanation for the massive lag between vanishing and reporting and the lies the mother told other than malfeasance. I can't even begin to come up with one that is semi-credible so accidental or 3rd party doesn't even come close to working.

Keeping kids safe in schools has become a front-burner topic as violent acts on campus increase.
The White House assured this morning that the issue will be in the spotlight for months to come as President Obama revealed a detailed package aimed at reducing gun violence in America, in response to the school shooting in Newton, Conn.
The president promised to "reduce the broader epidemic of gun violence in this country."
The administration is also reportedly weighing the concept of schools hiring gun-toting guards on campus, a concept embraced by many folks on the armed side of the gun-control fence, such as the NRA. The 23 points released by the president Wednesday, Jan. 16, however don't explicitly embrace armed officers on campus, though one item describes "incentives for schools to hire school resource officers."
Placing "protectors" on campus may appear to be a concept that would put parents increasingly at ease during scary times. Even way-way-left-aisle Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., has expressed early support for a plan that would put cops on campuses. "I don't see why anyone should object to it, left or right," Boxer told The Washington Post.
The debate on gun control
INTERACTIVE GRAPHIC: Click for larger image
But it's not an idea that is gaining unanimous support, according to our friends at California Watch.
The watchdog journalists posted an update from Susan Ferriss with The Center for Public Integrity, journalists who aim to reveal "abuses of power, corruption and betrayal of trust by powerful public and private institutions."
Such groups as the Advancement Project, Dignity in Schools and other organizations object to rushing to install guards at schools, according to Ferris' story.
"Placing more police in schools has significant and harmful unintended consequences for young people that must be considered before agreeing to any proposal that would increase the presence of law enforcement in schools," reads a brief released by the groups. For these groups, the issue isn't safety, it's the effect that increased law enforcement at schools could have on students.
The Advancement Project has worked to find alternatives to suspensions and expulsions. Dignity in Schools has advocated fewer suspensions and a smaller law-enforcement role on campus wherever possible.
Check out Susan Ferriss' report here.
And what say you? Do you support the concept of police officers' on your kids' schools?

LAST MINUTE DOC BEFORE THE NEW 9/11 LONDON OLYMPICS FALSE FLAG (6 episodes, 60 min).
"I Space Goat II" by Heliofant is a cinematic which works as predictive programming, which confirms the WTC 9/11 false flag and announces the new 7/27 London false flag.
Its duration has been calculated on purpose : 7min27sec ... as a reference to the London Olympic Ceremony.
The name "HelioFant" is also explicit: Helio ~ Sun ~ Illuminati , Fant ~ Fantaisy ~ fake story ~ Deception ... which gives... HelioFant ~ Illuminati Deception.
"Skyfall", the last James Bond, contains clear references to the London False Flag showing the London tube destroyed in reference to the bombs which will be placed in the London Train.
"Tron Uprising" contains a clear reference to the London Olympic False Flag with a scene about a major moto race in a Stadium which has exactly the same pyramids than the London Olympic stadium, the motos have 5 colors just like the 5 colors of the Olympic Games. And there is a bomb which is put in underground tubes beneath the stadium, when the bomb explodes it makes a mushroom just like the nuclear bombs.... This clearly refers to the nuclear bombs which will be placed in the London Tube and which will make explode the Olympic Park and a part of the London City from below.
Music Clip "Bombs away" by Dawn Richard...the lyrics are quite explicit:
(About to blow)
Boom like an animal
(About to explode)
Nowhere for you to run
(About to let go)
Built like a loaded gun
(About to blow)
The movie "2012" makes a clear reference to the London False Flag, the reference is through "British columbia 2010"... which refers to the Winter Olympics at Vancouver. The canadian region which hosted the 2010 winter olympics is British Columbia. An unusual accident took place at the opening day of the 2010 winter olympics: the death of the luger Kumaritashvili who wore the number 30, refering to the London Olympics which are the 30th olympics...and he died at the "Whistler Sliding Center" refering to "Whistleblower" (which means that there is a hidden message under this). Kumaritashvili died exactly 911 days before the London Olympics Closing Ceremony (12th August 2012).
"Transformers 3: Hidden Dark Side of the Moon" contains a clear reference to 7/27 with a focus on a blue car with the number 27, blue refering to the color of royalty and 27 to 7/27.
"K-Pax" was released in theaters in October 2001, just one month after 9/11, it's a BRITISH-American co-production, and it's produced by Iain Softley, who also produced "Hackers" (1995), a movie which contains many illuminati symbols and a clear reference to the 9/11 false flag (it shows the WTC with written on it "Burn and Crash"). The whole movie K-Pax is around the date July 27. Prot, the lead character is supposed to end his life on earth on July 27 and come back to his planet K-pax at precisely 5:51...which refers to 11, there is 11 years between 2001 and 2012. There is also other references to the London Olympics in this movie.
A mind blowing advertising campaign for a chilean newspapers has been reported on the mailonline, it shows Gaddafi burying alive Mubarak, Amy Winehouse burying alive William and Kate and Steve Jobs burying alive julian Assange... The 3 scenes are in an post apocalyptical period. The message is clear, 3 dead people burying people alive... means that these people are going to be sacrificed. Mubarak has already been put to death, Assange lives in London and will certainly be a victim of the London False Flag...and the Royal family is going to be sacrificed through the London Olympics False Flag.
Amy Winehouse burying Kate and William is a proof of that, she was the last victim of the 27 Club, she died in London at 27 on July which refers to 7/27...she died at exactly 27 years 11 months 9 days, refering to 911...
Other movies contains predictive programming showing that the royal family will be sacrificed such as "Basil the Mouse Detective", "2012" and "Shanghai Knights".
Obama has signed a bill for internet emergency control, he has the switch off/on on the internet in case of any major catastrophe... they are preparing the total blackout on the internet after the London False Flag in order to prevent the people from getting information and in order to brainwash them through the media that they 100% control like TV, they will spread fear and lies until the World War begins and that the modern media will be cut due to the war.
The London "Scipmylo" festival canceld without any reason invoked.
Peres, Wade,Julia Gillard,... Beckham have canceled their trip to the London Olympics at the last moment...invoking non false pretexts such as Peres who says that he cannot respect shabbat if he goes to the London Olympics, while he is not even observant...and even more amazing, Beckham who is the leader of the GB Team, he represents the London Olympics in plenty of commercial and he will not be there!!!!???

Delicious. I made this for our families Christmas Eve dinner and it was a big hit. Everyone loved it from the men to the grandchildren. I used boneless, skinless chicken breast and I marinated them prior to putting them in the dish to bake. Chicken was moist and flavorful. Made great leftover's, too.

Fill the plate around the stein with lots of large fresh pretzels. Place on the party table with an Oktoberfest table cloth. An instant simple, yet effective Oktoberfest centerpiece!
- Oktoberfest Tents. During Oktoberfest, large tents are set up and each one decorated according to their own theme and colors. If you don't have enough space indoors, set-up a pop-up tent or pop-up canopy in your back yard or function space to mimic the Oktoberfest celebration and decorate with blue and white streamers, balloons, or themed gossamer.

For an Oktoberfest party, for example, you could have the labels printed - "Mike's Bierhaus". For a Bachelors party, for example the label could be – "Mike and Friends". And for an Over-The-Hill Birthday party, a fun label could be – "Downhill Decline"!

- Cinnamon Pretzel. Just like the salted pretzel but instead dip in melted butter, then into cinnamon brown sugar mix.
- Black Licorice. A favorite candy for Europeans and Germans. Licorice dates back to the early times of man. During the Middle Ages, crusaders brought licorice back to England. Many years later, a monastery in Pontefract, England began producing licorice candy. History lives on today in these yummy Licorice Pontefract Cakes. Soft and chewy, their rich black licorice flavor is blended with a hint of molasses for a distinct taste that`s never too sweet and always satisfying. Each piece is stamped with an old-world mark of authenticity…. a picture of the Pontefract Castle itself!
- Beer Cupcakes. Make beer cupcakes with Guinness Stout Beer! Form them into beer barrel shape for an added fun element.
Oktoberfest Party Games and Activities
- Alphorn Karaoke. Get long tubes of PVC piping with a curved pipe attachment on the end, and paint them light brown to look like wood. Have guest take turns playing the mock Alphorns karaoke style. See who can guess the name of the tune they are playing. Tip: Instead of buying PVC piping we have also found long 25 foot cardboard rolls from carpet stores. A great way to help recycle materials and the best thing was, it was free!
- Kazoo March. For kids, give each a kazoo and little alpine hat and go on a little parade.
- Ein, Zwei, Drei,… Halt! (This game is just like Red-Light-Green-Light.) How to play: Line up kids in one line and one child, is deemed "the caller" stands with his/her back to them, about 30 feet away. This person then counts in German from one to three "Ein" (One), "Zwei" (Two), "Drei (Three) and kids need to try to quickly reach the position where the caller is standing without getting caught. Then caller says "Halt" (Stop) after counting, and turns around quickly. All kids must then freeze and hold as still as possible. Anyone caught moving, goes back to the beginning of the line. Whoever reaches the caller's position first, gets to be the next caller.
- Beer Stein Race. Contestants hold as many filled beer steins and race from one to the other to see who can fill the bucket the most in a period of time.
- Beer Barrel Roll Race. Use actual beer barrels or kegs and see who can roll it the fastest across a lawn, uphill, or across some obstacle course, etc.
- Pretzel Making. Kids of all ages (even adults) love playing with bread dough and what more fun activity than to form their own custom Pretzel! Award prizes for the funniest, the biggest, smallest, most misformed, etc. Let the dough rise about 1 hour before the party starts so it would be ready when guests arrive. Get out all the toppings and let them decide whether they want coarse salt, cinnamon sugar, sugar sprinkles, chocolate sprinkles, etc. on top. Another option is to get a Pretzel Kit with all the ingredients and equipment needed. Tip: Cut out parchment sheet for each guest and have them write their name in one corner with edible ink (marker) so that after baking, you will know which pretzel belongs to who.
- Giant Chess. Chess is a popular sport in Germany and chess championship tournaments are held every year. If you are having the party outdoors, like most Oktoberfest parties, set up a large giant Chess set for guests to play with and organize your own tournament for that day. The fun part is having to move the giant chess pieces around. Perfect photo prop for pictures as well! Guarantee fun for young and old.
- Beer Checkers. Set up a checker tournament with a beer chess set. Whoever gets to conquer the opponent get to drink the beer in the mini beer mugs. See who is the last one standing!
- Beer Tasting. Get several Oktoberfest beers, local beers and even beer from kegs to see which one has the best taste and have a vote for e.g. "Best Beer of The Smith's 2009 Oktoberfest". Replace some of the ordinary beer labels with your own custom beer label e.g. "The Smith 2009 Brew" and see if the beer connoisseurs can figure out what it is. More beer tasting party ideas.
- Home Brew Beer. Learn to make home brew beer and see what it tastes like. Have beer tasting contest to see who can brew the best beer. Don't forget prizes, the main prize could be e.g. a mug from your own Oktoberfest logo.
- Yodeling Contest. Hold a yodeling contest to see who can yodel the best. Give out Oktoberfest awards and/or prizes. Start off the yodeling contest with this knock-knock joke:

Boy the games were BORING as hell except the last one Seattle Seahawks vs Washington Redskins. I was able to actually watch that game without laughing out loud a million times. After seeing all the results the wildcard round was as woeful this year than I can ever remember. Minnesota, Indy, and Cincy just looked like they didn't even belong let alone compete. They were totally smacked around in their games. The Gmen, Bears would have provided better games sadly. In an era where the wildcard teams on the road tend to do well and provide excellent competition (and like us) win the Super Bowl, this year's teams sure stank up the NFL weekend. Please flush.
[Baltimore] Ray Lewis is awesome. I can't stand the Ravens, but the guy is just a delight to watch and will be remembered as the best MLB in NFL history. Love that guy. If you guys didn't get goosebumps watching his introduction at pre game, you sure as hell aint got football blood. It was epic.
[Philadelphia] The Eagles still have zero Super Bowl trophies (had to add this in here).
[Washington DC] Hey Washington Redskin fans....
Don't think you guys are all that just yet. You had ONE season where you were expected to do nothing more than 6-10. You did fine and went 10-6 in ONE season. Hey Skin fans hows it going to feel next year when the rest of the hungry NFC East will paint the biggest target on your backs. Get ready to get pure carnage from any team ready to play you next year. You showed us you can win the division, now we will show you what underdog status will threaten to do to you courtesy of the New York Giants (and maybe the rest of the NFC East).
Looking forward to the divisional round because those match ups FINALLY are REAL football match ups.
Your thoughts....

An innocent Rockford man who spent more than a decade behind bars for a murder he didn't commit gets written proof. Step by step, Alan Beaman's gotten back to a life outside of prison walls.
"I had never used a cell phone in my life before, I had to re-learn how to drive a car and those things we take for granted I think. Just figuring out how to feel normal again, not to feel so conspicuous in a crowd as I have felt." -Beaman explains.
He was convicted and sentenced to 50 years in the mid 1990's for the murder of his ex-girlfriend Jennifer Lockmiller. She was an Illinois State University student at the time. Beaman served 13 years of that before Illinois Supreme Court justices reversed the decision in 2008. He's worked for the last five years for a certificate of innocence from state government. On Thursday, Beaman finally got it.
"It's important to have public acknowledgement of my innocence. McLean County has never acknowledged that they've never admitted and frankly they still haven't admitted that I didn't commit this crime. They did withdraw from opposing me."
When he first got out, even with a unanimous Illinois Supreme Court ruling in his favor, life was hard.
"Employment was a difficult roller coaster for me at first. I did not always find healthy pleasant reactions from people, not just employment, but finding an apartment, all of those things were more difficult."
Despite everything he's been through, Beaman rises above feelings of anger towards the people who put him behind bars.
"I'm going to keep a positive attitude about it, especially in the process of trying to bring accountability, I need to set a good example for what my attitude is going to be."
It's far from over for Beaman. He's in the middle of a civil suit, suing two former prosecutors in the case, several police officers, the town of Normal and McLean County.

The body found in a pickup truck at the intersection of Veterans Parkway and Del Prado Boulevard has been identified.
Cape Coral Police say John Drake, 84, of Clewiston, was bludgeoned to death by his 19-year-old grandson Clinton Travis Drake.
The truck was found around 4:05 p.m. at the intersection of Veterans Parkway and Del Prado Boulevard, near the Coralwood shopping plaza, in the turn lane to go south on Del Prado.
The truck was initially called into police as a traffic hazard.
Upon arrival, Cape Police found John Drake slumped over the wheel and there was blood found both inside and on the ground outside the gold-colored truck.
The Medical Examiner's Office arrived at the scene just before 6 p.m. It was determined that John Drake was bludgeoned to death.
Detectives searched the area outside the truck and as well as inside the truck.
Shortly after the body was discovered, officers were told of someone seen running along the road near the scene. As a precaution, they set up a perimeter and searched the area with the help of the Lee County Sheriff's Office helicopter.
Search efforts were concentrated on a nieghborhood west of Del Prado, where witnesses spotted the man running.
Clinton Travis Drake was found and taken into custody at 5:17 p.m. in the 1200 block of SE 26th Terrace. He was taken to the Cape Coral Police headquarters where he confessed to detectives that he killed his grandfather.
Clinton Drake will be charged with second-degree murder. He has a previous record from Manatee County for charges of grand theft auto in October 2010.
As the investigation continues, Cape Coral Police say they are working alongside the Hendry County Sheriff's Office due to the victim and suspect residing in Clewiston.

Knesset committee votes to shorten men's army service to 32 months
Opponents argue that bill could cause severe personnel shortages, forces need to extend females' service.

The central concern of the Special Committee for the Equal Sharing of the Burden Bill – whether or not to implement mandatory service on haredi yeshiva students by force of law – will not be dealt with until at least next week.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu did, however, comment on the issue during the Likud's faction meeting, and indicated he was not in favor of any measure that could lead to the detention of yeshiva students.
"I don't believe that we will get to a situation that someone will sit in jail for studying Torah," he said, in his first comments on the controversial bill for several months.
The clause to shorten service for men was part of Yesh Atid's election manifesto. The party maintains that the IDF could save money by shortening the service of men who do not serve in critical units, and that the economy would be boosted by getting such men into the workforce earlier.
The legislation, however, does not differentiate between those who serve in critical units and those who do not.
The party also says that anyone obligated to serve in the army as a conscript would welcome a reduction in the service's length.
Bayit Yehudi MK Mordechai Yogev argued strongly against the clause, saying it was "unprofessional and irresponsible" and claiming that the economic and security effects of the decision had not been adequately investigated.
"It could cause a serious [manpower] shortage in the combat and technical frameworks of the IDF," Yogev said.
Brig.-Gen. Gadi Agmon of the IDF's Manpower Directorate said the army had presented comprehensive frameworks for reforms to the length of service, including service reduction for men as well as increasing the service for women and increased numbers of haredi enlistment. But he said that it would be hard for the IDF to deal with only a partially implemented framework for service length reforms.
The bill proposes to lengthen the period of service for women, but since only 52 percent of women serve in the IDF, it is claimed that increasing their service increases the inequality between those who serve and the many who do not.
Representatives of the IDF have been asked to provide alternatives to a blanket service extension for women. This may include a stipulation that women seeking to serve in positions of "significant service" will be required to serve for an extra eight months, while those doing less substantial jobs in the army will still be able to serve for the current 24 months.
In another crucial vote, an amendment proposed by committee member MK Elazar Stern (Hatnua) to increase the service performed by those in the hesder yeshiva program to 24 months, from the current 16, was defeated. MKs Ofer Shelah (Yesh Atid), Omer Bar-Lev (Labor) and Robert Ilatov (Yisrael Beytenu) voted in favor of the amendment, but it failed to gain the requisite number of votes.
Instead, hesder yeshiva students are to serve 17 months, as agreed several months ago in the committee.
Discussion of the amendment became heated when Yogev heavily criticized Stern, who is from the national religious community, for proposing the service extension for yeshiva students.
Stern says that the significantly shorter military service required of those in the hesder program, compared to other conscripts, is not justifiable and should be rectified.
Bayit Yehudi and the national religious community place extreme importance on the program and its current composition, however, and are fiercely opposed to altering it.
Yogev reacted angrily to Stern's comments during the hearing and said that he would "not allow MK Stern to destroy an institution that was awarded an Israel Prize and to denigrate it from every possible platform... and to continue in an obsessive manner to slander this great enterprise."
Meanwhile, Yesh Atid and Bayit Yehudi were still yet to come to an agreement on the issue of sanctions.
Shelah, the Yesh Atid representative on the committee, said on Army Radio Monday morning that the law would definitely include a legal obligation on haredim to perform national service.
"At the end of the day there will be obligatory service if the haredi community does not fulfill enlistment targets... they will have the same obligations as the secular community," the MK said.
Committee chairwoman Ayelet Shaked (Bayit Yehudi) said on the same program that the committee would succeed in reaching an agreement that all coalition parties could agree on and that would not create a rift with haredi society.
Sources in Bayit Yehudi told The Jerusalem Post that behind-the-scenes negotiations were ongoing on this issue.
One possibility for compromise that has been suggested is that the imposition of a legal requirement for obligatory service for haredi men be delayed until after 2017, when the law is supposed to take full effect.
In this situation, the law would be established on a temporary basis. If the haredi community fulfills the established targets for enlistment, the law could be extended, but if not, it would be allowed to expire and mandatory service by force of law would come into effect.
But Shas MK Ariel Attias cast doubts on Bayit Yehudi's willingness to prevent the imposition of legally required military service on haredi men.
"They're trying to achieve this vague kind of text where it will not be clear that it does actually consist of criminal sanctions," Attias told haredi radio station Kol Barama.
Speaking during Yesh Atid's faction meeting, party chairman Yair Lapid said that "everyone needs to serve and everyone needs to provide their own income."
He rejected the phrase "criminal sanctions" as used to describe his party's efforts to establish a legal obligation for haredim to perform national service.
"We're simply saying that the Law for the Security Services will also apply to haredim" as it does for all other Jewish men eligible for military duty, he said.

Berrien County Administrator Bill Wolf is planning to release a report to the County Board of Commissioners on October 3rd on the county Road Commission. The report may lay the groundwork for the commission to take action to dissolve the Berrien County Road Commission as it currently stands and have the county take over. The agency has been rocked by controversy since June 2012 when a group of non-union employees filed grievances alleging a hostile work environment and mismanagement of local and federal road money. The U.S. Department of Transportation is also investigating. Three road commissioners and three managers lost their jobs last year as a result, and the man hired as the next managing director was fired this year after just six months in the position. Several County Commissioners have expressed a desire to have the county take over the Road Commission, Wolf tells WSJM News his report will not include any recommendations. He will jut be laying out the options available.

Why Do People Snore?
Understanding Snoring
Before considering a snoring cure, it is essential to understand what exactly causes snoring. Once you understand the causes of the snore, you can begin seeking a snoring remedy that really works.
While many believe that snoring originates in the nasal passages, this is not necessarily true. Indeed, the sound that characterizes snoring is caused by the vibration of any one of the tissues lining the airway.
When sleeping, the air that a non-snorer breathes passes through the nose or mouth into the lungs without interruption. The airway is clear and open and no sound beyond the normal passage of air occurs. But, sometimes there is some kind of blockage that prevents the air from passing through the nose and throat. This causes an uneven flow of air that makes the tissue surrounding that area vibrate, making the sound that we all know as a snore.
There are many different things that cause this blockage of the airway. In order to find a cure for a snoring problem, it is essential to understand exactly which one is causing the blockage. Then by clearing the blockage, air can pass unobstructed into the lungs and the snoring sound disappears.
The first area in which air can be blocked is in the nasal passage. There are many ways in which the airflow can be restricted in the nose. If a person has allergies or a cold, mucous builds up in the nasal passages, restricting the flow of air. Removing this mucous through decongestants can clear the airway, preventing the surrounding tissue from vibrating, thus preventing the snore. Other treatment options include nasal strips, such as Breath Right Nasal Strips, that open the airway externally, allowing the smooth passage of air through the nose.
Sometimes there is a structural abnormality in the nose such as a deviated septum. The septum is the cartilage that separates the two halves of the nose. Abnormalities in its structure or position can cause vibrations that result in a snore. A deviated septum can be hereditary, but more often it is the result of an injury such as a broken nose. Usually surgery can correct the structural problem, curing the snoring.
Not all snores originate in the nose. Often the snoring is caused by a blockage in the throat. One cause can be enlarged tonsils or adenoids, which are glands made up of lymphatic tissue used to counter infection. Unfortunately the tonsils and adenoids sometimes become overactive, or are simply too big to begin with. Removing them can greatly clear the airway, making it possible to sleep without snoring.
Another cause is excessive fatty tissue in the throat which blocks the passage of air, producing the vibration in the surrounding tissue that results in snoring. This can be simply the result of excess weight. There are surgical treatments available that are designed to cut away the excess fatty tissue in the throat either by scalpel or with a laser. Sometimes the cure for snoring is as simple as losing weight, thus reducing the excess fatty tissue as you lose fat throughout the body.
Structural abnormalities in the mouth can also lead to snoring problems. Some people have abnormally long soft palates, or enlarged uvulas (the little dangly bit at the back of the throat). This tissue tends to vibrate as air passes, causing a snoring sound. Other times a person may have a tongue that is not attached far enough forward, allowing it to fall back into the throat when the person relaxes in a deep sleep. Even something as simple as an overbite can contribute to snoring, allowing the tongue to fall into the throat as the jaw drops backward when relaxing into sleep.
Most structural abnormalities can be corrected through surgery. Other treatments include using a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) mask to maintain the pressure in the mouth, or a mouthpiece such as VitalSleep, that maintains the position of the jaw so that the tongue is not likely to fall back during sleep.
If you have a problem with snoring it is important to discuss the issue with a doctor. The doctor will be able to assess your particular snoring problem and discover the cause of your snoring. Then, with your doctor's help, you can find a cure for snoring that really works, and get a good night's sleep again.

Issa Trust, Couples medical mission for St Mary, Westmoreland
Published: Wednesday | September 16, 2009

The fifth annual Issa Trust Foundation and Couples Resorts' medical mission began Monday, at the Port Maria Health Centre in St Mary, with 38 medical volunteers who flew in from the United States to once again offer their services to the benefit of Jamaica's children.
The mission, which will run until September 25, will see the group also working at the Annotto Bay, Retreat and Islington health centres in St Mary and the Windsor Girls' Home in St Ann up until Friday, September 18.
The following weeks, the volunteers, drawn mainly from the University of Iowa Children's Hospital and Blank Children's Hospital, along with others from Philadelphia, New Jersey and Maryland, will visit Westmoreland to offer their services at Grange Hill, Darliston, Lambs River and Williamsfield health centres.
Team members
The team includes paediatricians, surgeons, biomedical engineers, lab technicians, pharmacists, dietitians-nutritionists, paediatric nephrologists, paediatric haematologists/oncologists, nurse practitioners and paediatric nurses.
Since the inception of the medical mission in 2005, more than 3,500 children have received free medical care. This year, the figure will increase significantly as some 200 boxes of medical supplies, valued at US$100,000, were brought in by the group.
During a press conference Monday at the Port Maria Hospital, Grand Worthy President Mike Lagervall, of the Fraternal Order of Eagles in the United States, once again made a monetary contribution to the Issa Trust Foundation. Lagervall handed over a cheque of US$30,000 to Diane Pollard, vice-president of the Issa Trust Foundation, whose effort to make the mission a reality through the years was highlighted by Glen Lawrence, CEO of Couples Resorts.
The medical mission is a continuation of community involvement by Couples Resorts through its four properties: Tower Isle, Sans Souci, Swept Away and Negril. Over the years, the properties have combined to raise more than J$12 million through fund-raising events for charitable organisations.
Other donations
Couples Resorts have also donated, over the past five years, services and accommodation valued at more than US$300,000 towards charity.
"Couples Resorts knows it is its corporate responsibility to help make a difference in the lives of the families and children of Jamaica," Lawrence told the gathering.
Meanwhile, ambassador of Jamaica to the United States, Anthony Johnson, in commending Lagervall for the donation, said the Fraternal Order of the Eagles was showing that it was more blessed to give than to receive.
"Here's to friendship between the United States and Jamaica," Johnson said in his brief comment.
Robert Montague, minister with responsibility for local government who was at the conference, in commending Couples Resorts for its continued assistance to the community, said Couples, which he described as a proud St Mary product that has grown into an international brand, has never forgotten its roots.
Couples Resorts established Issa Trust Foundation in 2005 as a non-profit organisation with a mission to provide a system or prevention, health promotion and education, community-health improvement and other services to promote well-being and development for the people of Jamaica.
The trust serves children from birth to 18 years old.

MADISON (WKOW) -- According to a report prepared by the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board, eliminating same-day voter registration would cost the state $5.2 million over an initial two-year period, and an additional $1.9 million every two years after that.
The GAB prepared the report in anticipation of legislators introducing a bill in 2013 to eliminate same-day registration.
Under that scenario, federal law would require Wisconsin to establish a system for offering voter registration services at the Department of Motor Vehicles and at agencies which provide public assistance or administer programs that assist persons with disabilities.
The report says that would require substantial technological changes to the Statewide Voter Registration System to facilitate the transfer of voter registration applications and other information to those partner agencies and to election officials.
The GAB also contends they would have to create new positions in order to administer provisions of federal laws, coordinate voter registration activities with other state agencies, develop and implement IT solutions, provide training to local election officials and partner agencies, compile registration data and satisfy federal reporting requirements, and implement a public information and outreach program to educate the public about significant changes to voter registration procedures and provisional ballot rules.
Rep. Joel Kleefisch (R-Oconomowoc) says he plans on drafting a proposal to eliminate election day registration.
While Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wisconsin) says the issue is not a priority for him, he also says he would sign such a bill if it came to his desk.
The report estimates that 10-15% of voters register on election day.

Saban Not a Fan of No-Huddle Offenses
Nick Saban has a curmudgeonly streak that belies his coif and perma tan. He dislikes the media for praising his team. He can't stand terms like "running back by committee." And gosh darnit, he thinks football is getting too fast.
In Tuesday's SEC coaches' teleconference, Saban was asked about the no-huddle offense trend going across college football right now.
"I think at some point in time we should look at how fast we allow the game to go, in terms of player safety," Saban replied.
The Crimson Tide head man then added: "I think there's got to be some sense of fairness in asking, is this what we want football to be?"
Fans took to Twitter to mock Saban for ridiculously implying that the no-huddle offense is unfair and Missouri WR T.J. Moe even chimed in:
Alabama, of course, doesn't run a no-huddle attack. And considering the fact that Saban's exotic blitz packages often result in big hits on opposing offensive players, his "player safety" rationale for slowing the game down is also laughable.

NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) -- With security stepped up and families still on edge in Newtown, schools are opening for the first time since last week's massacre, bringing a return of familiar routines -- at least, for some -- to a grief-stricken town as it buries 20 of its children.
Two 6-year-old boys were laid to rest Monday in the first of a long, almost unbearable procession of funerals. A total of 26 people were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary in one of the worst mass shootings in U.S history.
While classes resume Tuesday for Newtown schools except those at Sandy Hook, some parents were likely to keep their children at home anyway. Local police and school officials have been discussing how and where to increase security, and state police said they would be on alert for threats and hoaxes.
Suzy DeYoung said her 15-year-old son is going back to the high school.
"I think he wants to go back," she said. "If he told me he wants to stay home, I'd let him stay home. I think going back to a routine is a good idea; at least that's what I hear from professionals."
On Monday, Newtown held the first two funerals of many the picturesque New England community of 27,000 people will face over the next few days.

The East Texas woman accused of plotting to kidnap and kill a pregnant woman was in court Monday morning.
32-year-old Tanya Lynette Bradley of Longview appeared before Gregg County Judge Alfonso Charles at 9 a.m. Bradley waived her right to a trial by jury and will have a bench trial in December.
Bradley is charged with two counts of criminal attempt to commit murder. She was arrested June 30, 2012 at the doctor's office where she was planning to abduct a pregnant woman, kill her, then steal her baby.
Bradley allegedly told her husband she was pregnant and faked doctor visits for months. Police say her friends came forward after she bought knives, duct tape and gloves.
Her trial will take place December 4 at 9 a.m. For now, she remains in the Gregg County Jail.

Boy, 15, stabbed to death in fight
10:54am Tuesday 16th July 2013 in National News © Press Association 2014
A 15-year-old boy has been stabbed to death after a fight between two groups of youths.
Four teenagers have been arrested on suspicion of murdering the boy, who was attacked in Birmingham.
He was rushed to hospital but, despite the efforts of medical staff, died from his injuries, West Midlands Police said.
Detective Inspector Tom Chisholm, who is leading the investigation, said: "We are aware that there were groups of young people in the area, some of whom may have left the scene before the police arrived.
"There is some suggestion that this was a fight which has tragically gone too far. I would ask that people who were in the park or anyone else with information to contact us immediately."
Relatives of the murdered teenager, who has not yet been identified, are being supported by family liaison officers. Two 16-year-olds, a 15-year-old and a 17-year-old are in custody at separate police stations.
Officers were called to the scene near Oaklands Park in South Yardley at around 6pm on Monday. The four teenagers, all from Birmingham, were arrested nearby.
Mr Chisholm said: "This was a tragic incident and our deepest condolences go out to the young man's family. A murder investigation was immediately launched. We have a team of detectives working with local officers to gain an understanding of what happened."
He added: "We are very well experienced at supporting people who are reluctant to share important information which helps solve serious crimes like this. If anyone finds themselves in that position I would urge them to contact me personally."
A search of the area, which was initially carried out under floodlights, has resumed. CCTV is also being studied and police have increased patrols in the area to reassure local people.

Treatment of Lung Cancer That Has Spread to the BrainThe treatment of lung cancer that has spread to the brain depends upon how extensive the spread is (for example, how many spots of cancer are present in the brain), your overall health, and the progression of your cancer. Since the goal of treatment is not to cure the cancer, therapy should be chosen with consideration of quality of life in mind foremost. The risks and benefits of the different treatment options should be discussed carefully with your oncologist, taking into account your individual situation and preferences.
The first goal of treatment is to control any complications of brain metastases. Steroids, such as decadron, may be used to control swelling in the brain. If seizures are present, anti-seizure medications may be used. Pain medications may be used to control headaches. Choices for specific treatment may then include:
- Whole-Brain Radiotherapy: This is usually the treatment of choice if there are tumors that can't be seen or if more than three tumors are present. Whole-brain radiotherapy may also be used to lower the risk of brain metastases after other treatments, such as surgery. While not meant to cure cancer, at least 50% of people notice some improvement in their symptoms with whole-brain radiotherapy. Common side effects can include memory loss (especially verbal memory), skin rash, and fatigue.
- Stereotactic Radiotherapy (Stereotactic Radiosurgery): This is not actually surgery, but rather a form of radiation in which a higher dose of radiation is given to a specific area of the brain. Since the radiation is delivered to only a specific region, side effects may be less severe than with whole-brain radiotherapy. Names that you may be familiar with for stereotactic radiotherapy include Gamma Knife or Cyberknife. Stereotactic radiotherapy is usually reserved for people who have three or fewer tumors present in their brain, and in this setting, may improve survival more than whole-brain radiation alone.
- Surgery: Surgery is occasionally performed to remove lung cancer that has spread to the brain if only a single tumor (or possibly more) is present, the tumor can be easily reached, and if there are no signs of cancer spread in other parts of the body. In this setting, surgery may be done to remove the tumor, or to reduce the size (debulk) the tumor to relieve symptoms. When surgery is performed, it is usually followed up with whole-brain radiation to improve the outcome. Surgery is done more often for non-small cell lung cancers, since small cell lung cancers are usually more sensitive to radiation.
- Chemotherapy: Due to the "blood-brain barrier," a tight layer of cells that keeps poisons from entering the brain, chemotherapy has not been found to be very effective for brain metastases from lung cancer. That said, several medications, including radiosensitizers (medications that can make cancer cells more susceptible to radiation treatments), are currently being evaluated in clinical trials to assess their effect on brain metastases.
- Comfort Care: Even when specific therapy is not felt to be helpful, there are still many things that can be done to ease the symptoms of lung cancer that has spread to the brain. Pain medications may help with headaches. Physical and/or occupational therapy may be used to maximize functioning and independence. In addition, many cancer centers are now incorporating complementary treatments, such as massage and acupuncture, to help people cope with the anxiety and other symptoms related to brain metastases.
Prognosis of Lung Cancer that Has Spread to the BrainSadly, those who have been diagnosed with lung cancer metastatic to the brain have a median survival of only 4 months. This is the time after which 50% of people remain alive and 50% have died from their disease. That said, among people who have treatment for oligometastses (only a few metastases) to the brain, outcomes are highly variable, and long-term survivors do exist.

The Spanish influenza and Swine flu are two of the most devastating pandemics in the world flu history. The first one originated in USA in 1918 and the second one originated in Latin America, very recently in 2009. The post below is all set to highlight on some of the major facts concerning Spanish Influenza of 1989 and the recent Swine flu attacks.
Virus source
Both the Spanish influenza of 1918 and the swine flu of 2009 originated from H1N1 strain. "H" refers to the hemagluttinin in the flu vaccine and "N" implies neyraminidase. There could be 16 varied forms of "H" and 9 varied forms of "N". According to speculations, the 1918 influenza started mostly among the farm animals like poultry and swine that were bred for feeding the US soldiers who were sent for war in the European continent & elsewhere. The 2009 flu also started from farm community. The swine flu virus was a new H1NI strain that originated from a tri-fold assortment of swine, human and bird flu viruses, which is further combined with flu virus from Eurasian flu resulting in the name "swine flu".
First outbreak
The earlier Spanish Influenza was primarily noticed in Kansas, Haskell County, in 1918 January. It prompted Dr. Miner, the local doctor, to warn American Public Health Department. By March, more than 100 American soldiers were shifted to hospital due to severe flu attack and within days, around 522 men from the army camp were reported sick. The very year, the virus reached to New York. The news of the virus attack was covered extensively by Spanish media and hence the name, Spanish Influenza.
The Swine flu had its first outbreak in Veracruz, Mexico, in May, 2009. With the spread of the virus, Mexican government shut down the Mexican schools and many private and public facilities to restrict the virus spread. However, swine flu had a global reach and WHO recognized it as a "pandemic".
Flu victims
The Spanish Influenza of 1918 affected an apparently younger population with its victims mainly ranging from 20-40 years of age. The recent 2009 Swine flu also had its victims from the similar range of population. It hardly affected anybody over 60 years.
The Spread of Flu
The 1918 flu affected people all over, including the remote Arctic & pacific regions. The main reason behind the immense spread of Spanish Influenza was the First World War (1914-1919). During the First World War, the flu infected American soldiers were sent to hospitals on different public transportation which resulted in the massive spread of the flu virus into the localites of the place the soldiers inhabited. The Spanish Influenza started in 1918 March began to spread by August. During the initial days, the diseases seemed normal as most of the victims started to recover. But with its huge spread by august, the Spanish flu started claiming huge number of lives.
In case of the 2009 Swine Flu, the virus had a worldwide spread through world travelers and vacationers. The disease was first noticed in May 2009 and by June it spread to all over the world. There were a lot of steps taken by CDC in the recent spread of flu, learning from this experience.
Fatality reports
According to reports, the 1918 Spanish Influenza affected 500 million worldwide and killed around 50 to hundred million of its victims which amounted to about 1-3% of total world population. It was considered as one among the deadliest of natural disasters or pandemics in the history of mankind. The death rates were; however, lower in places like American Samoa where quarantine was imposed. As per the 2010 statistical reports from WHO, Swine Flu 2009 claimed over 18,000 lives.

Obama's Seven 'Creator ' Omissions (Part Two)
Last week, I detailed seven occasions in the past few months at which President Barack Obama omitted the words "by their Creator" from direct quotes of the Declaration of Independence: "that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness."
Though you can read the actual quotes in detail in Part 1, let me briefly remind readers where and when they occurred:
—On Oct. 21 at a rally for Sen. Patty Murray in Seattle.
—On Oct. 18 at a Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee dinner in Rockville, Md.
—On Oct. 17 at a reception for Gov. Ted Strickland in Chagrin Fall, Ohio.
—On Sept. 22 at a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee/DSCC dinner in New York.
—On Sept. 15 at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute's 33rd Annual Awards Gala in Washington.
—On Sept. 11 at the Pentagon Memorial in Arlington, Va.
—On Sept. 10 at the president's news conference at the White House.
Those presidential omissions might seem justifiable to some, but it alarms me when omissions are exclusively divine and so easily exit and are excused by the United States' supreme leader.
Even at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, where both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution were debated and drafted, divine omissions seem to be in vogue.
Recently, my pastor and the chaplain of my organizations, Todd DuBord, was on a tour of Independence Hall with David Barton, Jim Garlow and dozens of others. The National Park Service guide leading their group blurted out five unbelievable lies and distortions about our Founders' religious beliefs and history, with school-age children present, as well, in the room:
—"We have no record that George Washington ever attended church."
—While the NPS guide, physically hunched over, mimicked and mocked one carrying and swinging an oversize Bible in his hand, he said to the crowd: "Even if I said the Founders were Christians, how could we really know? Just because people carry a big ol' Bible in their hand, they can still be atheists!"
—"Most of these men owned slaves. How could good Christians do that?"
—"We know that Benjamin Franklin was a deist."
—"We don't really know for sure about their religion. It's open for interpretation. You'll have to do your own study on that."
To add insult to injury, this past week my chaplain received an unfortunate response letter about their grievous tour from Cynthia MacLeod, the superintendent of the Independence National Historical Park. She dodged culpability and refused to cast blame against the NPS guide, justifying that "each ranger leads a tour in his or her own way ... allowing visitors to draw their own conclusions." Really? Even if the ranger misleads and lies about our Founders? (You can read MacLeod's letter in its entirety at my chaplain's website, http://www.NationalTreasures.org.)
That's no way to teach more than 2 million annual guests who visit Independence Hall, including hundreds of thousands of schoolchildren being bused in from across the nation, ready and eager to learn about the accurate history of our republic and its Founders.
The truth is that if you want an accurate religious history of America, you no longer are going to get it from our president, our progressive society or secular schools, at least not without unbiased and trained teachers or the induction of a religious curriculum that hasn't tampered with and twisted history.
Remembering the role of religion in our republic is why I included an entire chapter on the subject (titled "From Here to Eternity") in my latest New York Times best-seller, "Black Belt Patriotism." It is also why my wife, Gena, and I are on the board of the National Council on Bible Curriculum in Public Schools, which has a Bible-based curriculum that has been used in public schools — on campus, during school hours, for credit — for the past 15 years. The NCBCPS curriculum has been implemented in 2,075 public high schools. More than 370,000 students nationwide have taken this elective course to date.
We are proud to announce that the NCBCPS will have an electronic version of its curriculum available starting Dec. 15. It will include movies, videos and slides, in addition to its hardcover text, "The Bible in History and Literature," and also "The Teacher's Companion Guide."
The NCBCPS' curriculum is not the Bible curriculum in circulation that promotes UNESCO in its Bible textbook for students. Please make sure your district uses the Bible curriculum textbook titled "The Bible in History and Literature," by the National Council on Bible Curriculum in Public Schools. Don't accept counterfeits, if even under candy-coated biblical titles!
If you would like more information on the NCBCPS' curriculum or want help getting it into your local school district, go to http://www.BibleInSchools.net or call 336-272-8838. To date, 94 percent of the school boards approached with this Bible curriculum have voted to implement it.
Abraham Lincoln, our 16th president, was right: "The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next."
That is why, for the sake of our posterity and the preservation of truth in each of our own communities, we all need to accept this challenge by Ronald Reagan: "You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done."

Quotes from our Founding Fathers
Submitted by Larry Linn on Tue, 12/07/2010 - 9:59pm.
"As the Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Musselmen; and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries." - (Treaty of Tripoli, 1797 - signed by President John Adams.)
"The civil rights of none shall be abridged on account of religious belief or worship, nor shall any national religion be established, nor shall the full and equal rights of conscience be in any manner, or on any pretence, infringed.'' - James Madison (Original wording of the First Amendment; Annals of Congress 434 (June 8, 1789).)
"Question with boldness even the existence of a god." - Thomas Jefferson (letter to Peter Carr, 10 August 1787)
"Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon, than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness, that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind." - Thomas Paine (The Age of Reason, 1794-1795.)
"I have found Christian dogma unintelligible. Early in life I absented myself from Christian assemblies."

Franklin may have been a deist...
Submitted by bassndude on Wed, 12/08/2010 - 10:46am.
But deist did not mean the same thing it means today. Much like liberal, the meaning has changed over these many years. To say that Franklin did not belive in God, is a lie. It is dishonest.
In a speech on June 28, 1787 Ben Franklin said, in part:
"I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth that God Governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid? We have been assured, Sir, in the sacred writings, that "except the Lord build the House they labour in vain that build it." I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without his concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better, than the Builders of Babel: We shall be divided by our little partial local interests; our projects will be confounded, and we ourselves shall become a reproach and bye word down to future ages. And what is worse, mankind may hereafter from this unfortunate instance, despair of establishing Governments by Human wisdom and leave it to chance, war and conquest.
I therefore beg leave to move-that henceforth prayers imploring the assistance of Heaven, and its blessings on our deliberations, be held in this Assembly every morning before we proceed to business, and that one or more of the Clergy of this City be requested to officiate in that Service."
One cannot read this and many other things Franklin said and come to the conclusion that Franklin would qualify as a modern day deist.
