A knife attack at a Chatham County school left a 7th grade girl with stab wounds, another in custody facing serious charges. But that's not the whole story, according to the attacker's family."The other girls are out here free and my daughter is in juvenile jail because she tried to defend herself," explains Rashonda Walden.As Rashonda Walden sits at home, her daughter Savannah is waiting inside a juvenile detention center, accused of aggravated assault for what her mom calls "self defense." "She said mama I just got tired of getting jumped on, getting picked on," said Rashonda. "I'm just tired. I gotta go to school to defend myself all the time. I guess my daughter had enough of it and she took a knife to school to defend herself."The Derenne Middle School 7th grader took that knife and stabbed a classmate in the school hallway. That was the end result, but it's a crime that Rashonda says started two months ago, with girls bullying her daughter. "The other girl got her friends to jump my daughter constantly and constantly and constantly," said Walden.Rashonda says she asked for help more than a dozen times, but the school didn't do enough to stop the bullies. Then Walden says they moved those threats from school hallways to Facebook, and her home. "They came and threatened me Saturday," said a defiant Rashonda. "Said they would jump her out at my house, put on Facebook they were going to jump her Monday, which they did."News 3 asked Savannah-Chatham County Schools Police Chief Ulysses Bryant about Walden's mother's claims of Facebook threats. "I do know there was some connection of that type. Specifically I can't speak to it," said Chief Ulysses Bryant.An incident report News 3 obtained shows just last Thursday these same girls got into a fight. In that case, both were charged with Affray and Disrupting a Public School. But school officials say they don't have any record of complaints by Savannah Walden or her mother. Despite those facts, Rashonda Walden remains strong in her convictions that her daughter's attack could have been stopped before anyone was hurt. "This could have been prevented," said Walden. "If the school had done something, this wouldn't have happened. My daughter wouldn't be in jail right now."The girl who was stabbed suffered cuts to her head, arms, and shoulder. Those injuries are not considered life-threatening. Savannah Walden remains in custody Tuesday, awaiting a hearing in this case Wednesday. News 3 has learned there were no metal detectors at the doors of Derenne Middle School Monday, but hand-held metal detectors are on hand every day. Every student at the school was scanned with those Tuesday morning.

Stephen Stubbs
Adjunct Instructor
Born in Seattle, Stephen Stubbs studied composition, lute, and harpsichord at university and privately in Holland and England before making his professional debut as a lutenist at Wigmore Hall, London in 1976. From 1980 until 2006 Stubbs served as professor for lute and performance practices at the Hochschule für Künste, Bremen.
With his direction of Stefano Landi's La Morte d'Orfeo at the 1987 Bruges festival, Stubbs launched his career as an opera director and simultaneously founded the ensemble Tragicomedia, which has since recorded numerous CDs and completed tours of Europe, North America and Japan. Stubbs has been invited to direct opera productions in Europe, the U.S., Canada, and Scandinavia. Most recently he directed Monteverdi's Poppea in Vancouver, Mattheson's Boris Goudenow in Boston, Gluck's Orfeo in Bilbao, and Handel's Giulio Cesare in Murcia. In 2006 Stubbs returned to his native Seattle to found and serve as Artistic Director of Pacific Operaworks, an opera company dedicated to staging new productions of seldom performed works from the Baroque and contemporary opera repertoire.
Since 1997 Stubbs has also co–directed the biennial Boston Early Music Festival opera. This has resulted in Grammy–nominated recordings of Conradi's Ariadne in 2005 and of Lully's Thesee in 2007. Stubbs' solo lute recordings include the music of J.S. Bach, S.L. Weiss, David Kellner and the Belgian lutenist Jaques St. Luc, and with baroque harpist Maxine Eilander Sonate al Pizzico on the ATMA label. His performances can also be heard on the Vanguard Classics and ECM labels.

Now it should be interesting to see what if anything can happen with that scholarship. Its only for two more years I believe. Will this be the last or is another one coming?

SAN DIEGO—The cruise ship left dead in the water off Mexico after an engine fire will be out of commission until mid-January, Carnival Cruise Line officials said Tuesday.
The 952-foot Carnival Splendor was towed to San Diego and docked Thursday morning. About 4,500 vacationers and crew members spent three days mostly without electricity.
A Nov. 8 fire in the aft engine room left the normally luxurious ship dead in the water about 150 miles south of San Diego and 55 miles west of Punta San Jacinto.
All Splendor voyages planned through Jan. 9 are canceled, according to Carnival Cruise Line, which said the cruise ship would set sail next on Jan. 16.
Travelers who had already booked tickets for the canceled voyages will receive a full refund for the cruise and any air-transportation costs, along with a 25 percent discount on a future cruise. Those who were aboard the Splendor at the time of the fire will get refunds, plus a complimentary cruise equal to the amount paid for the aborted voyage.
On Thursday morning, the vessel will be moved from B Street Pier to Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal. It will take about three hours to complete the roughly 2.5-mile trip, according to the Port of San Diego.
The huge ship is being relocated because it will require major repairs better accomplished in an industrial facility, rather than at a passenger terminal.
Shipyard equipment and staff "are more accessible from the Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal, which is part of the working waterfront area," said Joel Valenzuela, director of maritime operations for the port.
"It is the more suitable location for a major repair undertaking such as this,'' he added.
There are three major shipyards in the area -- General Dynamics NASSCO, Northrop Grumman and BAE Systems -- but they are south of the Coronado Bridge, which has a clearance of 200 feet. The 113,000-ton Splendor is 215 feet tall.
The cruise line has estimated that the vessel could be stationed at Tenth Avenue for several weeks.
At the time of the fire, the Splendor was on the first leg of a seven-day Mexican Riviera tour that had departed Long Beach the previous day.
A team from the U.S. Coast Guard, National Transportation Safety Board and flag authorities, along with Carnival engineers and technicians, are investigating the cause of the fire.
No one aboard was injured during the emergency, though several people reportedly suffered panic attacks.
The normal itinerary of the Splendor, which entered service in July 2008, includes stops in Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

WaPo Ombudsman Scolds Own Paper for Spiking 'Where's Muhammad?' Cartoon -- With No Prophet Image
Wiley Miller's comic strip Non Sequitur is not a conservative strip. Right before the 2008 election, one of his characters was told that making up the news was illegal, and she replied "You don't see Rupert Murdoch in prison, do you?" But Washington Post ombudsman Andrew Alexander reported Sunday that the Post censored Miller's "Where's Muhammad?" Sunday strip for October 3 -- even though there was no image of the Muslim prophet in the art work.
Alan Gardner of The Daily Cartoonist (who has the image) reports the Post was apparently not alone: readers also reported a substituted strip at many major dailies, including the Arizona Republic, Arizona Star, Austin American-Statesman, Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, Dallas Morning News, Daytona Beach News-Journal, Philadelphia Inquirer, Salt Lake Tribune, San Francisco Chronicle, San Jose Mercury News, Seattle Times, and Syracuse Post-Standard.
The joke caption for "Where's Muhammad?" was "Picture book least likely to ever find a publisher." The Post ombudsman said editors were wrong to pull the cartoon:

used to be a solid, Conservative paper. I liked it so much that I even had a subscriptions sent to me while I was in the Army in Germany.
Of course, now it has turned into just another in the almost endless list of uber liberal rags suitable for little more than lining the bottom of your bird cage.
Their reader base has plummeted, the actual size and volume of the paper is a mere shadow of it's former self. They are constantly laying off staff...but they just don't get it.

Muhammad is the pedophile hiding behind the bush.
So now American media have to have approval from Ibrahim (Doug) Hooper before they run anything. If only they were so sensitive to Christians. But Christians wont bomb the offender's cars or kill their kids, will they, Ibrahim?

Word problem/Quadratic equations
View Single Post
May5-06, 08:57 PM
Quote by
well i think because there are two different answers for x and when you plug it back in you would have 6 total numbers, im just taking a guess as that
I see, but that makes it confusing for me. That's why i don't understand what to do.
Quote by
Richay...try to identify the range of numbers that the solution definitely *isn't*.
For example...say I let n+2 = 4...what is the product of 4 and -6?...what is the product of 2 and 3?
( since
= 4, our third number...our first and second are
secondly can n be somewhere around +/- 10 million?...whereabouts does n lie?
Be aware that potentially the problem might be expressed in any of these ways:
-6n = (n+1)(n+2)
-6n = (n-1)(n-2)
-6n(n-2) = (n-1)(n)
-6n(n+2) = (n+1)(n)
Only two of these is any help, the other two will not...which two cannot help and why?
(By finding the range of numbers that your solution isnt, you should be able to solve it just by inspection and then you should try to justify your choices by choosing and solving the correct quadratics)
I'll take a shot at this.
-6n = (n+1)(n+2)...so-so?? I can see that this problem can be figured out, but I can't find the correct numbers... HELP ME. Omg, i can't find a number that will fit in with all the problems. I think n is around 8 in this one. But i can't figure it out.
-6n = (n-1)(n-2)...Works. Because:
-6 x -2 = 12 (-3) x (-4) = 12. (Lacey showed me this solution eariler)
-6n(n-2) = (n-1)(n) This can't possibly work. You can always prove me wrong though if you like. But you will never even get a close answer because the first equation will have a HIGH total. And the second equation will always be lower. SO, screw this one for now.
-6n(n+2) = (n+1)(n) Screw this one too.
Well, that's as far as i got. What do i need to do next to progress?

Many of the ladies at Clearnote Church like to shop at Michaels, and the crafts retailer has just announced a security breach at a number of their stores nationwide. It looks like the Bloomington store is on the list for having been breached, as are a number of Indianapolis and Toledo stores.
If you have shopped at Michaels during the specified timeframe, watch your credit card charges over the next few weeks and be sure to report anything you don't recognize. I recommend reading this post by Brian Krebs explaining the incident. Then, I would also recommend reading his article, Are Credit Monitoring Services Worth It? It turns out that credit card monitoring services are mostly worthless. Credit card fraud and identify theft are no fun, however, and there are some pretty basic things you can do to protect yourself against them.
"It turns out that credit card monitoring services are mostly worthless."
An illustration: if you work in a large company, you likely have security process to follow, e.g. having "3 points for verification", better if each point is a different KIND of information from the others, and even better if they are not, in fact, all contained on the bills put into your mailbox: they usually are such that security is, really, a joke.
My point here is: companies live or die by meeting demand, "consumers" (I hate that term) can't demand what they don't even understand and, more importantly, "value": security, like helping poor people, is an after-thought that occurs when something dire happens. Before that, they angrily rage at you for requiring that information before you offer your labors to who could otherwise be a complete stranger and no customer at all, or who could be attempting to access your customers' accounts and information.
For credit cards to be secure, there must be some technical understanding, and Americans are not only woefully technically incompetent, they've surrendered technology to the very liberal, who are often those disaffected by their conservative parents heartlessness and in turn become a sort of twisted breed of heartlessnes, zealotry for faux care in reaction to the faux concerns of their parents, and contemptuous of ordinary people--or at least dismissive when anyone cries at pain when their bank accounts get dumped.
All day long, we take calls from people who suffere problem after problem because they cannot be bothered to learn anything about the machines they use every day to live by, and they also refuse to learn basic security and to stop browsing...*risky*...sites. But the most common problem is simply impatience to read: you DON'T click "just to make these dang windows go away!!!!" You respond to them intelligently--and if you can't, call someone who can or do some research: most end-up installing tons of garbage, toolbars, and simply letting mob-sponsored attacks right on to their computers.
And then they call raging at you, an agent for an ISP, for their carelessness and something that's not even your liability: their computer. Try explaining the difference and they get angry, using the addition of "...with a computer" or simply the inclusion of "computer" somewhere as a automatic termination of thought. Get them to accept it, e.g. "your computer is like your faucet, the internet is like the water sent to your house by the utility; we aren't liable for your faucet", and they simply start threatening to cancel.
I gave-up caring (or pleasing my QAs) about such stupid threats and childishness and my productivity has ballooned: don't know if/when I'll be fired but servicing the typical American demands just isn't worthwhile. There is a significance to all this though:
Credit cards, like our entire banking cartel, are built on very old technologies: known quantities that are hard to be rid of not only because legislators, like businesses, only do what their constituents make a deal out of--or what they can twist to be meeting such demands--and they have put in place the financial system and control it like they do the lives of homeless (they're illegal). They are tied into that system, and they are fundamentally insecure. Quite a lot could be done to make fraud, etc., impossible: nothing is. They're probably worried about customers inundating them with calls to retrieved passwords that are long enough to be secure, or requiring passwords every swipe, no excuses.
And like the "just make it work" pathetic beings who call every day, their customers value convenience and ease and immediate gratification over anything substantial, designed well, secure, conscientious: so they get what they deserve--and in the process harm the innocent--because giving them more would likely be the difference between being competitive and inviable. Put another way, they whine about corporations being careless and psychopathic, but really if they're not run sociopathically they lose rather than make money, and nobody there wants to be on the streets in today's America: they know how Americans actually are to those who are unsightly and without representation, and who can't be made a big cause to feel good about and therefore be worth helping so people can feel good about themselves.
And I wish this was cynicism, but as someone long in such a position of neediness/exposure, I know better than to think otherwise. The up-side is if I ever get out, I know now what it means to be helpless, and the importance of being their advocate and aid. I think this sums pretty well the truth of Western Society in regards the true poor,
I used a credit card at Target on nearly the last day of their security breach. Within a month, without a request from me, the bank from which the card was issued had sent me a card with a new number. Target had a poster in their store offering free credit monitoring for anyone who used their cards during the breach, but it was a moot point for me with my new number. I am going to guess that Michaels will offer the same monitoring, and banks will replace cards without being asked.

What a crazy morning it's been.
Let me start at last Saturday's Christmas party. The story begins at a golf course in Kitchener for the dealership that Boo just started working at. He hardly knows anyone there, and the pair of us felt tres awkward.
Neither one the type to jump in and initiate conversation, both sufferers of bad name recall, and with no place to stand but the middle of the section we are currently feeling trapped within. Luckily there's the bar.
Five feet away. People began rounding up their gusto with a glass of whatever. It was beer for me - always in a bottle - and with no tonic for the gin he wanted, a tall boy for Boo. Some introductions began, and brief conversation struck. It wasn't soo bad.
Boo was doing great remembering the names he feared to have forgotten. I was glad to have opted for a pair of dress pants and flats instead of that amazing red dress and who-knows-what pair of heels, making the situation a tad more comfortable.
The owner approaches and it's settled. We will be eating dinner at his table with he and his beautiful wife. It was an honour to have been asked - really.
Boo, wanting to be kind to the ladies chooses a seat two away from the wife. His logic was that I take the seat beside, and the ladies now have someone to talk to. Nice in thought, fatal in function.
Boo is now directly across from the owner at a table set for eight, in which only 7 end up at. There was the owners who Boo's boss bought from, them, us, and a sales manager. Boo is sitting beside me - and an empty chair.
The night goes on, and as everyone is up dancing having a good ole time, we are worried about the long drive back to Hamilton and our own dinner party set for the next day. We decide to step out and go somewhere we both would rather be. Home.
Sunday takes an early start. With planning, preparing, cleaning and cooking - it also becomes a very full day. Dinner comes and goes. It took much longer to come than to go though. Ever notice how that happens?
Anyways, it was a great night spent with friends and family. The four loads of dishes I did on Monday (2 in dishwasher and 2 by hand) are a testament to how much we wanted them to fill their bellies with love. That's the secret to good cooking you know, make it with love.
So what else happened Monday you ask. Well, turns out that party we left early two nights prior had a draw for a flat screen t.v that we won - and a LCBO gift card. Merry, merry Christmas to me, and Boo - and me!
I, being the unemployed one, got the task of taking care of the old t.v and components to be removed from the t.v room and moved into the gym - the old gym t.v components being removed from in there - and the new t.v being set up in the newly emptied t.v room. Another full day.
Since we have only owned tube televisions before this, yes I know...dinosaurs - but dinosaurs that still work and didn't need to be replaced nonetheless - I needed to wait until the evening to have Boo assist with the heavy tube t.v moving part.
He helped me move, then in good ole husband fashion, falls asleep on the couch.
While he was sleeping, I took it upon myself to move our black retro pleather couch into the gym, rearranged more furniture and work-out equipment. I also relayed the foam fitness floor tiles, and did I mention anything about moving a frigen treadmill. Yes I did. Back and forth, back and forth.
The place looked good!
I went to bed sore, yet feeling accomplished. That was at 1am.
Come 6am I am awoken by Boo saying 'what the heck did she do!? - is she crazy?'
Umm, yep. Turns out that I am.
He says how much he likes it, and that I shouldn't have done all that by myself, but I am left feeling like he doesn't know of the amount of work that was involved while he slept, peacefully.
Craving that level of peace myself, I lay my head down and drift back to sleep. It was 6 in the morning after all - and many of my days this week started well before then. I just wanted sleep, so I did.
Half-an-hour later I am awoken again, and this time not so nicely.
There is a loud bang. I think something has broken.
Now there is yelling. Loud 'eff words'. He says the real thing folks, there's no censoring an angry Boo, no effing way.
I posed the question 'Are you okay?' from the couch I drifted asleep on, only to find out my husband had turned certifiable.
No, he was not okay. Someone had loosened the lid on his coffee cup.
Someone must have - because he remembers putting it on properly - right before it crashed to the floor in the entry all over the newly laid ceramic and two day old area rug, his freshly ironed suit a mess, and he was going to be late - and there it was - his cool was lost. A complete goner.
He yelled, he screamed, and he sulked. His morning went to shit and with it so did mine.
While he cleaned up, I went and picked out some new clothes. Would he even wear these ones together?? I ask. He says sure, whatever. He knows I am trying.
Things get better as we get cleaned up. He gets redressed.
Screw off I say, as he comes out telling me I ruined his new dress shirt - the sleeves are now much shorter than I remembered. lol He holds his arms out with a look of despair saying 'look'.
It's undeniable. He was acting like a kid, and now he looks like one too.
He leaves wearing his too short of a shirt. His ego is already crushed so he doesn't have the strength to care, but I do.
I give him a kiss and tell him to 'be a great day' because it's not what happens in our days that makes the story, it's how you handle it - and having someone there to pick up the pieces when they fall to the floor makes the puzzle a little easier to piece back together.
I love Boo for all his strength and for his weaknesses too.
This makes him human, and he makes me crazy.
The life of a newly domesticated jewelry designing foodie who runs with Rottweilers. Life changes.

"I've learned from others to force myself to use colors that I would not normally choose and to go beyond my comfort zone," says Kem 3A.
Photography by All Chrome
For me a great piece is comprised of a solid set of letters and a memorable color scheme. When I first started writing in the early- to mid-1990s I quickly realized the visual impact that color makes on a piece. Crazed color schemes always stuck out in my mind, and though I understood little of theory, I understood how certain colors complemented each other very well.

Williams burg, VA - The summer season brings a new roller coaster to Bush Gardens in Williams burg.
The Verbolten opens this Friday but ABC 13 got a sneak peak of the ride with American Coaster Enthusiast Elizabeth Ringas. A German tourist center serves as the ride entrance.
"Gerta and her brother are running a travel agency for tours through the Black Forest but the ride goes awry and you go left into the forbidden area where spirits and weird things keep happening," said Ringas of the ride.
This is a family friendly roller coaster. Verbolten's low 48-inch ride height requirements make it a perfect "right-of-passage" coaster for your kids.

Look Who's a Rare Now
If you were around as a Horde player in vanilla, this lion used to be pretty tricky to tame or even see if you were a hunter looking to tame this beauty – or even just to do the quest.
The only other cat to share this skin was Echeyakee in The Barrens. Both the result of quest summons. The former was the result of a quest asking you to slay Shy-Rotam (an elite) in Winterspring. Once she gets to ~50%, her mate spawns. Back in the day this used to be a group quest since he had an annoying AoE fear ability. The other thing was that once Shy-Rotam was killed, Sian-Rotam would despawn so a co-ordinated gp would be required.
The hardest thing was not necessarily killing Shy-Rotam for the quest but farming the meat from other cats – used to lure Shy-Rotam in the first place. This one piece of quest meat had a pretty poor drop rate and if you failed the first time in completing the quest, you had another farming session to look forward to.
Since Blizzard has made things so easy to level now, it appears you don't even need to farm the meat any more. From what I've noticed lately, you'll generally find Shy-Rotam casually hanging around her rock.
Herbing on my Druid yesterday, I managed to see Sian-Rotam peacefully sleeping not to far from his mate under Frostsaber Rock. The spawn rate doesn't seem to be too long either as I managed to see him again a few hours later that night.

The search for Mandy Matula continued as volunteers took the pursuit to St. Cloud on Saturday.
"I'm always willing to help everyone out," Ian Deans, a dedicated searcher, said.
They've been tromping over hills, through heavy brush, and into shallow pools along the banks of the Mississippi.
"Emotions; I don't have anything at the moment, I just want to find Mandy. That's my main goal in the entire search is to find her," Mandy's brother Steven said, who has been at the forefront of search organization throughout the ordeal.
Once again, it was Mandy's younger brother leading the way and organizing this search south of the dam at St. Cloud's Riverside Park. From the park, the large group split in half, one on each side of the fast-moving river. Their destination: Clearwater, nearly 15 miles away.
"It's a good Saturday workout," Steven said.
"On the island, we're kind of looking for clothing. On the riverside banks, pretty much looking for a body," Steven said.
Wearing their bright green Minnesota United t-shirts, the group scoured every inch of the trek, and when someone spotted something suspicious out on a river island, Ian Deans jumped right in.
"I swam from the bank to the island and back," Ian said. "It wasn't as cold as I was expecting, but it was not warm at all."
Fortunately, Ian was okay.
"That took a lot of guts," Steven said. "I give him props for that."
Unfortunately, the lead turned out to be nothing more than a deflated inner tube.
Mandy Matula was last seen late on the night of May 1st getting into the vehicle of her estranged boyfriend David Roe.
Before investigators could question Roe, he shot and killed himself in the Eden Prairie police parking lot.
He left no clues as to Mandy's potential whereabouts, and the search has been underway for two weeks and counting.

Nets Hoping Cheap Seats Lead to Expensive Tastes
John Brennan, the Record's sports business writer, blogs about the various ways to get cheap seats, even free ones, to Nets games. The move to Newark has led to more energetic but not full houses for the team. So, the team is using ticket resellers to make a certain number of heavily discounted or free seats available each game. Why? Brennan says Nets executives hope that fans who wind up with low-priced seats now will get hooked enough to buy season tickets later. He also notes that at least one reseller also sells airline tickets. So the stranded passenger at Newark might like an opportunity to jump on NJ Transit for a three minute trip to Penn Station and a Nets game.

Three men
are in custody after an armed robbery at a pizza place led to a police chase
late Sunday night, according to authorities.
The suspects
were identified as Demarcus Mathews, 19, of Gonzales; Terrance Venson, 20, of
Baton Rouge; and Jeremy Ford, 23, also of Baton Rouge.
The Baton
Rouge Police Department said the Papa John's on Lee Drive was robbed at
gunpoint around 10:30 p.m. Cpl. Don Coppola Jr. reported the three suspects
walked into the restaurant wearing masks and two of them, Mathews and Venson, allegedly
pulled out handguns.
Police said
the pair ordered the employees on the ground, while Mathews allegedly took
money from the register and a worker's cell phone. According to Coppola, the
trio then left the restaurant and drove off in a black Honda Accord.
said officers spotted a car matching the description of the suspects' vehicle a
little while later. Police said the initial driver, identified as Mathews,
refused to pull over and a chase ensued. They added Mathews eventually stopped
the car, jumped out and ran off. He was later caught by police dogs and their
said when Mathews fled, Venson, who they reported was in the front passenger seat,
took the wheel and drove off. Police used spike strips to flatten the tires on
the car, but they said that didn't stop the suspects. It remains unknown where
the spike strips were used, but witnesses said the car was seen on Government
Street riding on flat tires.
The tires
eventually popped, but the car continued rolling on just the rims until it was
forced to stop when it crashed into a parked car on Glenmore Avenue, right
behind Bernard Terrace Elementary. Police said Venson jumped out and tried to
run, but police dogs and their handlers apprehended him as well.
to investigators, Ford stayed in the car after the crash and was then taken
into custody.
Mathews and
Venson were booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on charges of armed
robbery, aggravated flight and resisting and officer. Ford faces a charge of
armed robbery.
living in the normally quiet neighborhood on Glenmore Avenue were awakened by
bright lights and lots of noise.
"I was
sound asleep and the dogs started barking," said Daryl Ingle. "There
was a weird sounding siren and all of a sudden, flashing lights flooded the
street. We got up and came out and apparently, somebody robbed somebody and
decided to come down Glenmore."
to Ingle, there were about 15 police officers combing the area looking for a
gun. He decided to help in any way he could.
looking for a gun, so I loaned them my ladder. If more people would help the
cops, instead of work against them, we might get more done around here,"
Ingle explained.
It remains
unknown whether or not police found a weapon.

The Other Ninja 1 Dazzling lights blazed everywhere, reflecting off the tinted windows of countless yellow taxis and lingering at the edges of trash-strewn alleys. Music blasted from the clubs. Bars filled with patrons hoping to drown their sorrows in the depths of glasses brimming with alcohol. People moved up and down the streets at their own pace. Some were looking for fun, others were looking for trouble. Whatever the case, the hustle and bustle of New York that was present in the daytime carried well on into the night. High above the crowds and noise, the rooftops were cloaked in shadows. The conditions were perfect for a ninja -- an advantage of which four mutant turtles were currently taking. Without hesitation, they jumped swiftly from building to building. Their flawless motions, a result of countless hours of vigorous training, allowed them to move together as one. As they bounded to the top of a ten story apartment complex
The Other Ninja 16"Kneel!"There was no arguing with Master Splinter when he used that tone of voice. Immediately, Raphael and Alexandria dropped to their knees, heads bowed solemnly. The rat observed them as they knelt side by side. He could practically see the dark cloud of anger that hung over both of them. Taking a deep breath, Splinter forced himself to keep his own temper in check as he addressed his students."I have had quite enough of your behavior. This is no way for a young lady to act," he scolded, a deep frown on his face as he looked at Andria. Turning his gaze to Raph, he continued. "And certainly not how I want my son to treat a lady. There is no reason for you to be treating each other so disrespectfully. As such, I would like an explanation for your actions."The rat waited expectantly, but not a single word was uttered by either teenager. Instead, they both glanced sideways and, upon catching each other's eye, looked away quickly as their cheeks reddened. Master Splinter watched Raph
The Other Ninja 15A long, thin wisp of smoke curled from the end of a cigarette to rise and drift across the large room. Sunshine poured in from the south-facing window, eliminating the need for any form of artificial lighting. The glass barrier separated the lush greenery of the outside world from the lavishly decorated office. Bookshelves lined with books of various age and size composed the entirety of the west wall. Opposite, a different view of the tree covered landscape was provided by another large window framed by dark red curtains. Expensive looking paintings lined the wall. In the north section of the room a pair of brown leather armchairs and a sofa were arranged neatly before a massive fireplace. The cold, empty firebox seemed to yawn at the massive oak desk that sat across the room from it. Seated behind the wooden workspace, Vincent Sharar, dressed in a dark blue Italian suit, lifted the burning cigarette to his lips and inhaled deeply. As the vapors played around the inside of
The Other Ninja 20"Do you guys ever do anything besides train or meditate?"The question was spoken over sounds coming from the television monolith that dominated the living area of the lair. Michelangelo had commandeered the remote and, after flipping furiously through the channels for several minutes, had finally settled on an old fashioned monster flick. The youngest Hamato male was too engrossed in the show to notice that three of his family members had bolted at first sight of the black and white scenes. Only Leonardo remained though his attention was directed towards the book in his hands rather than what was happening on screen. Leo had no trouble blocking out the conversation and the screams of the movie, but he could not ignore the question which had been asked by Alexandria.Marking his spot on the page with a finger, he turned to his left to look at the lone female. She was perched next to him on the arm of the couch, one leg crossed over the other while she leaned against the back cushion. H
The Other Ninja 2 "Um...am I really seeing what I think I'm seeing?" Mikey asked scratching his head in confusion. "Or have I completely lost my mind?" "If you see an unconscious turtle chick dressed in ninja clothes then you haven't lost your mind, Mike," Casey answered, baseball bat hanging at his side. April had removed the mask covering the girl's head, but one still remained tied across her eyes. It was similar to the bandanas worn by the guy's except that it was black. Her skin was a shade darker than Leonardo's leaf green complexion. "A female turtle?" April questioned slowly. "How is that possible?" "We'll figure it out later," said Leo resuming his role as level-headed leader. "We shouldn't hang around out here. Someone could see us. Casey, take her up to the apartment. April go with him. We'll get her weapons." Casey handed his bat to April. He p
The GameHard. Fast. Left. Right.Harder. Faster. Left. Right.Change position.Repeat.So went Raphael's routine as he battered his punching bag.The reason for the merciless beating?He was mad at Leo. Absolutely furious and taking it on the sand-filled canvas cylinder suspended from the ceiling of his bedroom. His breaths were short and quick. Sweat droplets ran down his entire body, making his emerald colored skin glisten. It enhanced his solid muscles while they expanded and contracted alternatively as he moved about. Teeth grit and eyes narrowed, the sai-wielder rammed his large fists into the bag over and over again.Hard. Fast. Left. Right.It had everything to do with weapons practice this morning. After the routine warm-up, Splinter had the four of them engage in a sparring match. No teams. No pairs. A free-for-all: one against the other three, which was how Raph preferred it. He liked the challenge of facing multiple opponents, figuring out their weak spots and then using that knowle
The Other Ninja 19A hot, yellow sun had little mercy for the world it shined down on. Its bright rays were reflected by the waves of a large lake which caused it to shimmer brilliantly. Sleek, black-scaled fish with long, trailing tail fins darted about, occasionally breaking the surface for a playful leap. They dodged around the support columns of the stone bridge that spanned the lake's three mile width. The bridge was nearly deserted except for two young princes at the north end. Shirtless and sweaty, they jogged in step across the passageway."So you're not going to make me file a report?" Hawkthames asked his companion."Why the hell would I?" Knaxx countered with a question of his own."Because you're downright anal about it," the former answered. "I'm pretty sure you busted a blood vessel the last time I didn't turn one in."Knaxx rolled his purple eyes. "One of us has to be responsible.""Yeah, I'm glad it's you and not me," Hawk admitted with a grin.The two fell silent for a moment as they con
The Other Ninja 24"Hey, Donnie," Michelangelo greeted as he strolled into the laboratory and straight over to the genius's work bench. Leaning sideways across it, he cocked his head slightly as he looked at his older brother. "You're the smartest person in existence…can you explain something to me?"Unimpressed by the flattery, Donatello spared Mikey a quick glance before returning his attention to the Battleshell's remote starter in his hand. From the bench top he grabbed a screwdriver and quickly loosened the pair of screws holding the device together. He pried the two halves apart, exposing the circuit board."I can try," Donnie replied. Reaching for his magnifying lamp, he pulled the lens closer and powered on the light to better examine the electronic piece. "What do you want to know?""How is it that two people," Mikey said as he picked up a piece of the remote and began to fiddle with it, "can go from mortal enemies that hate each other with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns to BF
The Other Ninja 17"You don't even care, do you?"Hiroshi's ice cold voice cut through the intense silence of the dining room. His brown eyes snapped dangerously, their anger directed across the table towards his eldest brother. The head of the Lotus family looked up from his plate. Dressed smartly in a gray suit, he sat perfectly straight in his chair. His short black hair was perfectly combed, complimented by a neatly trimmed goatee. He said nothing, merely raised an eyebrow inquisitively."Andria was tracked down by Bishop," Hiroshi said, his hands curling into fists. "He was going to use her again and you don't care.""She managed to escape, did she not?" Kenta responded calmly. Taking a sip of water, he watched his brother over the rim of his glass.The unconcerned nature of the reply infuriated Hiroshi. Face flushed and teeth clenched, he struggled to keep his tone level. "That's not the point." "Then what is your point?""She needs to come home!" the youngest Lotus son burst out. "She's not safe

Because this race takes place in a major city, we must re-open the roads to vehicular traffic according to schedule. The course road blocks will be taken down and aid stations will begin closing at a 13:45 per mile pace, which is a 6 hour total marathon time or a 3 hour total half marathon time.
We ask that all runners and walkers that register for this event are prepared to complete the marathon during the time restriction listed above.
Those who finish outside of the time limit will not be recorded as official finishers and may not receive full on-course support from Aid Stations and traffic personnel.
Please indicate your anticipated finish time during registration.

• How many runners will be on the course?
We will have 6000 runners, split 40:60 between the marathon and the half. Both races will start at 7:00 am, with chip timing and a multi-wave start to minimize race course congestion.
• Will there be gear check?
Your Runner Gear Bag that you receive at the Health & Fitness Expo on race weekend will serve as your official gear check bag. There will be convenient drop off and pickup near the race start/finish area.

• Can my friend pace me for part of the race?
NO. The only people allowed on the course during the race are registered runners. We provide an official team of pacers for you to run with. A participant who has received pacing by persons not officially participating in the event may be disqualified.
Having a friend join you for part of the race either on foot or bicycle is also frowned upon by other runners and may earn you some ill will.
• Is there an early start?
NO. Both races will start at 7:00 am, with a multi-wave start by pace times to minimize race course congestion. More information.
• Can I use my mp3 player?
We allow the responsible use of mp3 players, but please be aware of those around you on the course for everyone's safety.
• Will I get a medal?
Each FINISHER in the Naperville Marathon and Half Marathon will receive their medal when they cross the finish line.
• According to my Garmin the Naperville Marathon course is longer than 26.2 miles. Was the course measured wrong?
All USATF certified courses are certified that the distance is not short. In fact the USATF has a 1/10th of 1 percent factor built in to make sure the marathon course is not short. This means all certified marathon courses measure 26.246. When courses are measured for certification they are measured on the tangents. It's not possible for a runner to run the exact tangents and as such your Garmin shows the distance you actually ran vs. the certified, measured distance. You will run a longer course.
See how our course was measured and certified: video
• Is there a wheelchair division?
Unfortunately our 2014 course will not be able to accommodate a wheelchair division.
• Do you allow jogging strollers?
For insurance and logistical restrictions: no dogs, no strollers, no bicycles, no roller blades, no in-line skates, and no wheeled vehicles are allowed in the race.
• What is the Flag Warning System?
There will be a simple flag color system along the course to help warn participants of weather related or course related problems. Flags will be located at each aid station along the course.
- Green Flag: Running on schedule: Course and weather acceptable.
- Orange Flag: Delayed start: waiting for weather or the course to clear
- Yellow Flag: Weather advisory: runners take appropriate precautions.
- Red Flag: Extreme weather: runners advised to slow or walk.
- Black Flag: Race is closed. Make your way back to the finish line, but no official finish times will be given.

• Is there a registration capacity?
Yes, 2014 Registration is capped at 7,000 runners for the Marathon and Half Marathon.
• How fast will you sell out?
We don't know that but we can tell you this:
Last year we sold all slots on the first day. This year, we have doubled the number of runner slots and registration is very strong. Two of our Charity Partners have already filled all of their available slots.
• I am injured and/or cannot run the event (family commitment, work obligation, etc.). Can I donate my entry or transfer my entry to someone else?
No. All registrations are nontransferable and non-refundable as stated in the waiver you sign when you register. Please note that according to our rules, transferring or selling registrations or bibs is not allowed and both runners will be disqualified and banned from future events.
• Can I buy someone else's bib?

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
It's no secret that H&M's been stepping up its game—what with its lavish debut runway show last Paris fashion week (left) and the launch of U.S. e-commerce earlier this month. Today, the high-street retailer takes it a step further, announcing a new pop-up on Gansevoort Plaza, in New York City's Meatpacking district. Open from August 22 through August 24, the 2,000-square-foot store will be furnished with a live deejay, eight dressing rooms, and a limited selection of the Fall '13 collection. August 22 also marks the hotly anticipated release—or rather, pre-sale—of the brand's souped-up catwalk range.

Alright so once all this drama surrounding the lockout is resolved and teams can start making moves, the question is, do the niners even attempt to go after possibly the biggest free agent out there? Although it seems unlikely, we may have some deciding factors that can lure him over. He's already said that he wanted to stay in the bay area, and although most look at this as him wanting to stay with Oakland, it could easily mean that he is open to coming to SF and the location in general is the important aspect. He went to UC Berkeley, he knows the area, and come on.... Oakland or SF? Our defense is arguably better and we might have the opportunity to become the best defense in the NFC.
It's becoming increasingly popular that Patrick Peterson drops to the niners at the 7 position, where I believe it's a consensus that we will take him immediately. When was the last time a corner was rated the top talented player in a draft? This guy could be the next Bailey or Sanders, and you pair him next to an established superstar, his development could be scary. Add on that after the lockout the salary scale for rookies shouldbe a lot more reasonable and that the organization has asked Clements to to a take a paycut, the could be fiscally possible.
So they question is ninersnation... Are the niners gonna target Nnamdi? Peterson is more luck than actual strategy, and the financial situation should for the most part solve itself. This combo, along with Spencer, will make teams like the Jets secondary look insignificant, but the problem is that although the secondary is realistic, grabbing a FA like Carson Palmer or Kolb who will likely demand a huge contract becomes much less likely.

It's time for me to confess.
As much as I preach about healthy hair practices to grow, and maintain your hair….
I've been neglecting my own lately.
The ease of this faded short 'do has plummeted me into the depths of hairlaziness.
I don't remember when I last deep conditioned. Or slept with a scarf. Or did a nightly moisturizing/sealing.
::bites fist::
It's starting to feel even dryer than usual.
In my head I'm like, "well, no need to take care of my ends, they'll be cut off in a few weeks anyway when I trim…"
But now that I've got this poll going, I may end up just growing my hair out to a longer 'do.
Depending on what you guys pick:
[poll id="3"]
So now I've gotta straighten up and start treating my hair better again. Ugh!
Do you have any hair sins to confess?

10/25/05 - With the fall semester already halfway over and midterm exams in
full swing, the end of October can be a very stressful time for University of
Rhode Island students. On top of numerous tests, it seems as though papers and
projects for various classes all land near the same due date, adding to the
pressure. So it is no surprise to anyone that many students see Halloween as the
bright light at the end of the tunnel.
Halloween is generally considered one of the biggest party weekends for URI students. Even though it is still a week away, there is already a lot of talk on campus dealing with costume preparation and where the big celebrations off campus will be. After weeks of reading, writing and studying, the idea of being able to devote an entire weekend to dressing up and having fun with friends sounds incredibly appealing.
Students should, however, keep in mind that just because it is a holiday weekend doesn't mean the same rules don't apply to them. Students cannot have the mindset that wearing a costume and pretending to be like someone (or something) else will make them invincible, especially in terms of drinking and committing pranks. Discretion should always be used when alcohol is involved no matter what day it is, and students certainly should not cite Halloween as an excuse to vandalize university or off-campus property, or cause harm to other students.
There are many healthy alternatives to celebrating the holiday on campus to consider that do not involve alcohol. Students can go get scared at the Burnside Haunted Basement this week until Wednesday, or enjoy some music at the Halloween Metal Meltdown concert on Thursday in the Memorial Union Atrium. And, of course, there is nothing wrong with spending an evening with friends and renting a few scary movies such as Friday the 13th or Night of the Living Dead.
We at the Cigar encourage URI students to take a much-deserved break from the strain of midterms and have some fun over the Halloween weekend. However, students still need to be responsible and exercise good judgment when participating in holiday festivities. Hopefully everyone has a safe Halloween next week and no horror stories of student drunk driving or worse surface over the weekend.

Springfield – Some lawmakers are
concerned the Illinois gun bill could further
crowd Illinois
As part of the legislation the gun bill
would increase prison time for illegal gun possession. A state analysis says if
it becomes law it would cost Illinois
one billion dollars over the next decade, and pumps thousands more inmates back
into the prison system.

Police are searching for a man they say stabbed another man at a housing complex in North Austin near North Lamar and Highway 183.
The incident happened a little after 11 a.m. Tuesday. Officials say the victim is in the hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
Witnesses say the suspect is a man in his mid 20s with an afro. He was last seen wearing a red sweater and gray pants.
"If anybody has the capability of stabbing another person, I would deem this as dangerous," Veneza Bremner with APD said. "So if you know who this person is, please do not contact him on your own. If you see this person, or know this person, please contact 911."
APD says you can also call Austin Crime Stoppers at (512) 472-TIPS. The suspect faces potential aggravated assault charges.

It's the job of state probation and parole officers to keep a close eye on convicted criminals, but in some cases the people they claimed to be watching were actually dead.
That is just one of several findings in an audit critical of the way Tennessee is supervising its released criminals.
It also found workers were not providing adequate supervision to those violent criminals who were still living, and the comptroller said the findings jeopardize public safety and show a waste of taxpayer dollars.
"They were wasting taxpayer dollars, in our opinion, or at least an abuse of taxpayer funds by spending time on dead offenders," said Deborah Loveless, assistant director of state audits.
In 82 documented cases, the probation and parole officers were actively monitoring people who were dead - some for as long as 19 years. At times, the parole officers were merely checking on arrest records for the deceased parolees, while in other cases the officers claimed to have actually made contact with the person after their date of death.
Also, some of the most violent offenders and sex offenders are on GPS monitoring. Those GPS devices trigger an alarm if the offender goes somewhere he shouldn't be or if the device has been tampered with.
In 80 percent of those cases, the audit shows, workers didn't follow up on the alarms in a timely fashion.
Overall, state auditors said a separate problem they found could have contributed to some of the others.
Supervisors are supposed to review every case every year, but only half of the cases had actually been reviewed.
"If the supervisors were doing their annual review of cases, they would have found where parole officers were not doing their job," Loveless said.
The Tennessee Board of Parole had no comment on the audit Monday. However, the audit was prepared in advance of a Wednesday legislative hearing in which board leaders will likely face some questions from state lawmakers about the findings.

ARDMORE, OK-- Paying a water bill is about to get a little easier for residents in Ardmore.
City officials said starting next month, residents will be able to pay their
utility bill online or in person.
With the new online system, residents will no longer be able to make their
payment by phone. To register online you'll need your account number and the balance
of your last bill.
Customer service supervisor Sissy Burge said it will make things easier for
residents and save the city of Ardmore lots of money.
"We send out about 12,000 bills a month, so if we could get the
citizens used to going online and looking, it's a convenience thing for them and
a cost savings for the city," Burge said.
Officials said they currently mail about 12,000 bills per month, but with
the new online payment the city will be saving about $4,000 a month.

|Iran has 'crucial role' in Syria: Qatari FM
TEHRAN – Qatari Foreign Minister Khalid bin Mohammad Al-Attiyah has said that Iran can play a vital role in Syria.
The United Nations invited Iran to the Geneva II conference on Syria, however, it withdrew the invitation under a pressure from Washington and threat by the Syrian opposition that it would boycott the conference if Iran attended the conference. The U.S. had said Tehran should accept the Geneva I communiqué as a precondition to participate at the conference.
"Iran is a very important figure on this equation, and I think that Iran can play a vital role on this file. The only thing which made the organizer of this conference withdraw the Iranian invitation is because they didn't announce that they acknowledge Geneva I. But still I think Iran has a crucial role in solving this issue," Attiyah said in an exclusive interview with Al-Monitor at the Jan. 22 opening session of the high-level segment of the United Nations peace conference on Syria.
Commenting on the Persian Gulf Arab state's relations with the Islamic Republic and its position toward Tehran's nuclear issue, he said, "Qatar and Iran's relations have always been a good relationship. Iran is our neighbor, and from the earliest days we have been encouraging to solve this nuclear issue with Iran amicably and peacefully, because we are against any act of aggression on any of our neighbors.
"We live in the same region, and we believe in the rights of the country to have their peaceful use of nuclear technology. We welcomed the interim agreement between the P5+1 and Iran.
"The only thing is we try to always encourage our allies and colleagues that if there is any arrangement in the region, they should involve us, at least keep us in the picture.
"Honestly speaking, we don't fear Iran being our neighbor, we have a good relationship with them. We have differences for sure, one of our differences with Iran is the Syrian case. We have our position, they have their position, but that does not mean this should reflect on the other side of the relationship, which we always encourage, and the Iranians are doing so as well."
Elsewhere in his remarks, he said that he was planning to have a visit soon to Iran.
"We intend to keep the relationship in good shape. We believe in dialogue."

This is a story about two sisters in a poor rural family in India as their family struggles to come to terms with compromises that they have to make in order to survive. Their father's illness forces one sister to go to the big city to work as a prostitute, allowing her to send money home so the rest of the family can live in relative ease. The return of that sister to the village home to attend the younger sisters wedding results in a showdown in the family, bringing to the surface the struggles and double standrds of the parents in their willingness to accept money from the elder sister but at the same time wanting her to go away so as not to "spoil" their name and remind them of their guilt in forcing her into her city life and the moral compromises that they have made.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Kentucky's kids are just about in the middle of the pack when it comes to their well-being. An annual report card for states out this week, KIDS COUNT from the Annie E. Casey Foundation ranks Kentucky 34th in the nation for overall child well-being. The report also finds a disturbing trend: more Kentucky kids, 27 percent of all Bluegrass children, are living in poverty.
"You can just flat out track that wherever economic well-being data is, that's where health and education are going," said Dr. Terry Brooks, executive director of Kentucky Youth Advocates, which contributed to the report. "It's what we call almost a Paul Revere indicator. It tells you what's coming."
But though Kentucky has improved in educational indicators, Brooks said there's still a way to go.
"With education, the takeaway is really more questions than answers," he said. "We know that we are improving but the real question is why do two out of every three kids in Kentucky remain unable to do reading and math at a minimal national level?"
The YMCA of Greater Louisville is participating a pilot program for at-risk rising first and second graders that could go a long way toward changing that.
The smiles tell you the children are spending this summer having fun, but your ears will tell you it's not your typical kids camp.
"We didn't want it to look like summer camp because it is different and it has very different goals," said John Lincoln, Regional Childcare Director for YMCA Louisville. "It's not school and it's not play. It's kind of both but there's a very important focus."
Lincoln said the summer learning program is being tried out something for the first time in this area, one of 49 pilot programs happening across the country. It's trying to keep at-risk kids from Wheatley and Wellington elementary schools in Louisville from falling behind their friends' reading skills. Both schools have a high-percentage of low-income families.
"They basically start close to the same level or just below if the kids haven't been in preschool," Lincoln said. "Then as they go through that first year of kindergarten, they learn at the same rate but then summer hits and we have that gap start to widen because they don't have the same experiences throughout the summer."
So for six weeks, each morning, the kids get lessons in reading and writing. Each afternoon, a fun field trip or activity backs up what they're learning. Each night there's homework for their parents.
"We ask the parents to pledge that we're going to read to their children 20 minutes a night," Lincoln said. "We ask them that they're going to support everything that we're trying to do with this program."
Each of the kids started the summer out a little bit behind. By the time the summer is over, Lincoln says the goal is to have them right back on grade-level.

Lowndes County - The Chief of Staff of the Air Force welcomed new officers to the military Friday. Four star general John E. Jumper commissioned five ROTC cadets as Second Lieutenants at Moody Air Force Base.
One of those was Theresa Cunningham, widow of fallen pararecueman Jason Cunningham. He was killed rescuing wounded troops in Afghanistan. This is a day Mrs. Cunningham and her husband looked forward to for years.
"I think of how many times I wanted to quit and go home, but because of support from the community, Moody, the military, and people like General Jumper, I kept going and made it to where I am today," said Cunningham.
Cunningham has been assigned to Vandenburg Air Force Base in California where she'll work as a public affairs officer.
General Jumper also presented the purple heart to Staff Sergeant Craig Fitzgerald. He was shot on a mission during Operation Enduring Freedom.

Judge Rejects Liberty's Health Care Lawsuit
A federal judge threw out a lawsuit from Liberty University that said the health care reform law is unconstitutional and would permit the religious institution's insurance payments to cover abortions, Politico reports.
"The Act explicitly states that no plan is required to cover any form of abortion services," Judge Norman K. Moon wrote in his order Monday.
The White House praised the ruling. "The judge's ruling today only underscores the importance of the law's individual responsibility provision," Stephanie Cutter wrote in a White House blog post Tuesday.
More details come from the New York Times and Politico (blockquote below).
Liberty – and five individuals who joined the suit — also argued that the employer and individual coverage requirements are beyond Congress's powers and violate the First, Fifth and Tenth amendments. The suit claimed that the law is an illegal direct tax, violates the Constitution's promise of a republic form of government and violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
The university argued that it would face significant fines – of about $1.1 million— if the employer requirements are kept in place. The legislation requires companies with more than 50 employees to provide insurance coverage to workers or face additional taxes.
The federal government countered that the university didn't have a right to file the suit and that the issues aren't ripe for trial.
Politico writes that oral arguments in the most high-profile case, a suit backed by 20 states and expected to end up in front of the U.S. Supreme Court, are scheduled for December 16.
How sad that a Christian institution is the one that decided to file a lawsuit against the health care bill. My dad (non-Christian) thinks that conservative Christians don't care about the sick. I try to counter this, but when lawsuits like this show up from Christian organiztions, it only supports his ideas. Abortion doesn't have to be covered. And if taxing is the main issue, why care more about your own money than those who are sick?
I'm glad that the health care bill will make sure that no one is turned away. I've heard the societies will be judged by how they treat their weakest and most vulnerable members, the poor and the sick. I have many people close to me that desperately want health insurance, but they have preexisting conditions so no insurance will take them. I'm glad that soon everyone will be able to be insured! I know the bill has problems but I am praying that it improves not that it is destroyed.
How sad when an institution purporting to teach the principles of Jesus Christ goes into the secular courts to demonstrate aggression and hostility. This behavior is completely devoid of humility and compassion.
Speaking of things that are "devoid of humility and compassion" . . .
You may not agree with Liberty's legal position in opposition to Democrat's Health Care legislation, but to question their devotion to Christ simply because they made use of our court system to challenge what they (and many other States) believe to be a violation of the Constitution does little to advance the principles of Christ that you are so vigorously protecting, and harkens back to a time when Christians abandoned the public square in exchange for a prayer closet. We've been down that road before. No thanks.
