Post-Partisan: Fixing our ideological divide
As Americans examine the astounding dysfunction of their government, gerrymandering is usually cited as the prime culprit. This narrative offers a compelling villain: venal politicians who draw district boundaries for partisan advantage or to protect their own incumbency.
On the surface, it makes sense that manipulating district lines could be responsible for the increase in non-competitive, non-diverse congressional seats and the rise of ideologues who take radical positions without fear of voter retribution. But this ignores evidence that gerrymandering is only partly responsible for the current partisanship -- and that eliminating it will not address the calamity we are witnessing.
No one disputes that congressional districts have become less competitive. During the last government shutdown in 1995, 79 of the 236 House Republicans represented districts that supported President Bill Clinton in his 1992 election. Today, only 17 of the 232 House Republicans represent districts that backed President Barack Obama -- demonstrating more partisan consistency at the district level.
Cook's Political Report, a leading congressional handicapper, makes the point more directly. There were 164 competitive districts in 1998, according to Cook's Partisan Voter Index, but only 99 after 2012.

How often these days do we see a political figure liked by both Republicans and Democrats? Not so often that we should fail to notice.

Boycott and protests set stage for French Islam debate
France's ruling conservatives are pressing ahead with a public debate on Islam and secularism on Tuesday despite criticism that it is an excuse to pander to far-right voters ahead of a general election next year. President Nicolas Sarkozy's UMP party said in December that it would host a public forum to address fears about Islam's role in French society, following controversy over Muslim street prayers, halal-only restaurants and full-face Islamic veils.

As Tea Party cranks up heat on Congress, poll shows public support waning
The Tea Party is coming to Washington to turn up the heat on the Congress -- just as a new poll finds that public support for it has waned.
Members of the conservative Tea Party movement plan to hold a rally on Thursday outside the U.S. Capitol, urging Republicans to stand firm in their showdown with Democrats over proposed spending cuts.

U.S. rabbis protest Fox host's use of Holocaust imagery
Four hundred rabbis published a letter on Thursday calling on Fox News to sanction host Glenn Beck for repeated use of Nazi and Holocaust imagery and for airing attacks on World War Two survivor George Soros.
In an open letter to Rupert Murdoch, the chairman of News Corp, which owns Fox, the rabbis also demand an apology from Fox News chief Roger Ailes for characterizing Beck's Jewish critics as nothing more than "left-wing rabbis."

Anti-Muslim bias now the social norm, UK cabinet minister says
Prejudice against Muslims has "passed the dinner-table test" and become socially acceptable in Britain, says the Conservative Party's chairwoman Baroness Sayeeda Warsi.
Warsi, a Pakistan-born minister without portfolio in Prime Minister David Cameron's cabinet, will say in a speech at the University of Leicester on Thursday evening that dividing Muslims into "moderate" and "extremist" fuels intolerance, according to prepared remarks published in the Daily Telegraph.

Does FRC index underline weak link between faith and family?
The conservative Christian, Washington-based Family Research Council (FRC) has just released its first "Annual Index of Family Belonging and Rejection." You can click here to see its full details.
The "Index of Belonging" is 45 percent and that of "Rejection" is 55 percent. The report's author, Patrick Fagan, who heads FRC's Marriage and Religion Research Institute, says the following:

Family Research Council to issue "Index of Family Belonging and Rejection"
Indices are all the rage these days. In his recently published and thought-provoking "Why the West Rules -- For Now," historian Ian Morris has created an "index on social development" which, among other things, attempts to measure the West and East's "energy capture."
There are of course plenty of other examples (and future historians will no doubt see it as a sign of our times -- as Morris notes, ages get the "thought they need"). The latest addition to this swelling modern family of indices will come on Wednesday when the conservative, Washington-based Family Research Council (FRC) releases its first annual "Index of Family Belonging and Rejection." The index is a product of its Marriage and Religion Research Institute.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell and abortion at U.S. military bases…
One little-reported aspect of the political wrangling around attempts to repeal the "don't ask, don't tell" policy that bans gays from serving openly in the U.S. military was how the religious right tied it to another hot-button cultural issue: abortion.
This would certainly have caught the attention of socially conservative Republicans who were instrumental in defeating a measure aimed at its repeal in the U.S. Senate on Thursday night.

Lively debate among Catholics interpreting pope's condom remarks
Pope Benedict's surprising view that condoms can sometimes be used to fight AIDS has kindled a lively debate among Roman Catholic theologians and commentators about whether this amounts to a change in Church thinking.
His comments and a Vatican clarification that expanded on them seem to leave no doubt that Benedict has spoken with unprecedented frankness for a pontiff and shifted the focus a bit from the Church's rejection of condoms to avoid disease.

Well I was checking my usual Vikings news sites a few days ago (including the Daily Norseman) when I stumbled across this video. It really is interesting how much you don't know about a player, even if they is on your favorite team:
Yea I know, I guess that this technically goes under "FanShots", but the problem is that no one EVER READS OR PAYS ATTENTION TO THEM!!! (end rant)
So anyway, during the first few weeks it looked like Rick Spielman made the wrong move by drafting Locke in the 5th round. But then something clicked right around when he ironically gave his "12" jersey to Josh Freeman. Since then he has been one of the top punters in the NFL and our special teams have improved. I also really like the "Australian style" of punting the football end-over-end.
So remember everyone, punters DO matter! Now let's go turn this thing around... Next year!

FITCHBURG -- Wednesday proved to be a historic day for the newly-minted District 5 Cal Ripken League, as it crowned its first ever champion. Fitchburg boasted the inaugural honors, coming through with a four-run third inning and withstanding a Pepperell surge to capture the 5-4 victory in the U10 Championship game at Herman Bourque Field on Wednesday.
Fitchburg finished the tournament with an unbeaten record and advances to the state championship tournament in Northbridge. There was a silver lining for Pepperell as it advances to Northbridge as well as the District 5 runner up. The state tournament will begin on July 5.
"It's a pretty big accomplishment," Fitchburg manager Jason Carroll said. "What better group of kids to represent as the first champions? We had a tough one the other night against Westminster, but I think that helped us for this game."
Pitching proved important for Fitchburg again, as Jaxon Carroll only allowed one run in the first three innings of the game. He yielded three hits, four walks, struck out four, and got out of two bases-loaded jams.
Relief pitcher Nick Oullette had a tough entry to the bump, as he allowed three runs in the fourth inning, but none earned. Oullette was in control from there, pitching two scoreless innings to cap off the victory, while tallying three strikeouts.
Fitchburg's big inning came in the bottom of the third, when Oullette and Zach Scott started things by drawing walks. A single to center from Jaxon Carroll then loaded the bases. Edwin Santana (2 for 3, 2 RBI) blasted a shot to deep left on the next play, which rolled to the fence. Two runs scored immediately, then some indecision in the outfield allowed Jaxon Carroll to score as well, making it 4-1 Fitchburg.
The next at-bat proved to be the difference, as Brayden Gendron connected on a chopper to leftfield, which plated Santana, the eventual game-winning run.
"(Santana) has come up clutch a couple of times in this tournament, driving in runs," Jason Carroll said. "He's batting cleanup for a reason and has some power. Gendron came up with a big hit to drive in the winning run. Up and down this lineup, you never know who is going to come up with the big hit."
With the game slipping out of reach, Pepperell righted the ship with a little production in the top of the fourth. Nico Razzaboni and Ayden McGrath each singled and an error after McGrath's hit allowed Razzaboni to score.
Some heads up base running by Ayden McGrath on the play got him a comfortable spot at third. McGrath then took home on a passed ball which chopped the deficit to 5-3.
The scoring was not done, as an error on a Tyler Goldthwait flare allowed the inning to continue before another error on the play allowed Taylor Cushion to score, cutting it to 5-4.
Pepperell put two runners in scoring position in the final two innings, including a stolen base from Brady Young after singling. But Oullette's ability to get outs early in the innings ensured that nobody would get past second base.
"We started hitting the ball again late," Pepperell manager Mike McGrath said. "We have such a great group of kids. They really know how to play the game, and can hit the ball too. We did come back but we just couldn't push through."

I have a terrible habit of going to bad places in my head. Like if Doug is running late and doesn't call, and he doesn't do this often, I'll think about what if something happened to him, like he was in an accident. I don't do it often anymore, and I tend not to be a terribly anxious person. But when we first started dating he was late all the time. And thankfully I cured him of that, because I told him it drove me absolutely crazy. And now with the invention of cell phones he is good about calling or texting if he is running late, but still, sometimes the metro gets stuck or things happen, and then my mind goes to those terrible places.
I like to think that I would be strong and gracious and that I would get through what I needed to get through. That I would raise Michael and carry on. But truthfully, I would probably be a mess. My mom once gave me the best piece of advice I ever heard which was "you get through in life what you have to." And that is so true. I wouldn't have a choice. I would want to curl up in a ball and never come out, but I would have to.
I recently made Doug write down everything I would need to know to pay the bills. Because he pays all of our bills online and if something ever happened to him I would have no idea how to get into any of our financial accounts. And that is a really terrible stupid way to live. And we have wills, and living wills, and trusts, and all the legal documents you need in case something bad happens but we didn't have the very simple this is how you pay the water bill document.
Of course, I hope to never need this information. I never want to need this information. But now I have it. And it is one less thing to worry about.

Design: Front-loading
Size: 1700 cubic inches (28 liters)
Height of Owner: 6'-1.5"
Price Paid: $90
I have worn this pack on a few hikes, including the 14.4-mile round-trip from Yosemite Valley to the top of Half Dome. It is an excellent day pack, providing many pockets, a lot of usable space, and relative comfort. I believe there are 3 pockets, plus two bottle holsters, plus an extra padded sunglass pocket, plus a couple of small pockets in the padded hipbelt. There is also a bottom pocket that is filled by the provided rainfly.
Below you may see the main compartment of the bag, after a 3 liter Camelbak hydration bladder has been installed (it's covered by a flap, which appears at the bottom of the photo). As you can see, there is plenty of usable space remaining in the daypack.
Behind the hydration pocket, a zipper allows access to the stay frame. I didn't pull it out, as it's a tight fit and I feared it wouldn't be easy to get it back inside, but this is what it looks like:
I noted that the advertising literature on Granite Gear's website and hang tag described this as a "single aluminum stay frame." When I first looked at this, I only saw black plastic and some fabric. While I didn't care what it was made of, I actually used Granite Gear's webform to send them a question, asking if their advertising literature was wrong, as it referred to aluminum. Unfortunately, they completely ignored me, and I never received a response.
I later took a second look, and saw that there is in fact an aluminum bar forming the backbone of the frame:
I still don't know if I would describe this as a "single aluminum stay frame," but at least there is some aluminum there. Perhaps the company thought I had seen the aluminum bar and was just giving them a hard time when I contacted them by webform, but they still should have responded.
Here's the hydration pocket itself. The pack does not come with a bladder, so you'll need to provide your own if you want one. The pocket has a couple of loops for hanging a bladder, and they are made of ribbon and appear much more substantial than the strings found on some packs, such as those made by Camelbak. The good news is that when the bladder is empty, the loops do a great job of hanging the bladder, as you can see:
The bad news is that when the bladder is full, the top of the bladder is thicker and the hang loops are then too short to use.
The pack has a central port in the back through which the hydration tube can exit. However, there are no guides for routing the hydration tube through the shoulder strap, and I found that the tube was rubbing against my neck. I bought Velcro cable ties and used them to secure the hydration tube to the webbing on the shoulder strap. It's not easy finding Velcro cable ties. I bought mine at Michael's Arts and Crafts store.
The padded shoulder straps are pretty comfortable. On my hike to Half Dome, I had a full 3 liter bladder, a 0.7 liter of water stashed in one side holster and a 0.5 liter of Gatorade stashed in the other side holster. In the main compartment I had lunch, apples, energy bars, a nylon shell, extra socks and gloves for the cables to the top of Half Dome. I didn't weigh the pack, but that list will give you an idea of what I was carrying.
I first thought to bring an extra 1.2 liters of water and a sweatshirt, but the pack felt too heavy, so I ditched those and the pack felt much better. My shoulders were sore by the end of the hike, but that could have happened with any pack, given the long day, many miles, and my level of fitness.
Today I went on an 8-mile hike, carrying the 3-liter bladder and a 0.7 liter bottle of water, a nylon shell, energy bars and lunch, and I had no sore shoulders after the hike.
I'm 6'-1.5", and the pack is perhaps a tiny bit short for me. The padded waist belt sometimes seems to be okay, but once or twice it has ridden up into my stomach.
The built-in rain fly is well-designed and effective.
The pack has reflective strips, but only on the shoulder straps, so the wearer's front will be reflective but not his back. So hikers should walk facing traffic. I guess Granite Gear doesn't think many bikers will wear this, or else they think the riders' bikes will have reflectors on the back (or the bikers will illegally ride facing traffic). If they had advertised that the pack had reflective strips, I would think they should add some to the front of the pack (i.e., so someone driving up behind a hiker could see him). But they didn't advertise this feature, so I don't think they'll face any liability by only having one side covered with the reflective strips.
So I did have a few complaints, but overall I strongly approve of the pack.

Solar Frontier and BELECTRIC connect the world's largest CIS thin-film solar power plant to the grid in Germany
Solar Frontier, the world's largest manufacturer of CIS thin-film modules, and BELECTRIC, the worlds leading solar system integrator of photovoltaic power plants in 2010 and 2011, announced the completion and grid connection of the world's largest CIS thin-film solar power plant in Bochow, Brandenburg, Germany.
The project's investor is CommerzReal and the financing is provided by HypoVereinsbank (HBV)/UniCredit. The CIS thin-film power plant shows the increasing significance of CIS technology in the project business and the confidence major banks have in Solar Frontier and its products. The world's largest CIS thin-film power plant also underlines the deep working relationship between Solar Frontier and BELECTRIC in the project segment, which was further strengthened in March 2012 through the creation of a new joint venture company, PV CIStems GmbH.

PM Harper Makes Deal with China Hacker Co. Banned by USA
The conservative Prime Minister of Canada, Stephen Harper has made huge deals with a Chinese firm that has been reported to hack into the intellectual property of the United States.
A recent trip to China by the Canadian Prime Minister was to initial even more trade deficits with China that today stand at an unbalanced system of trade. Canada imports 3 times as much product from China than it sells to China, creating a huge influx of Chinese goods that most Canadians do not want to buy. Poor planning on the part of Harper to also endanger the security of the United States their greatest trading partner.
Stephen Harper's dealing with China do not create jobs, but open the country to what some call a Trojan Horse with an open door to US and Canada's technology secrets, which China currently lacks.
The company called Huawei Corporation denies that the company is conducting spying espionage on US intellectual property, stealing through hacking into US, Canada and other countries for trade secrets. Michelle K. Van Cleave advised that Canada is taking great risk with allowing Huawei to operate within its borders and setting up shop. The United States and Australia have blocked this company from any projects in their countries, regarding it as a security threat.
The Huawei Corporation calls itself a global information technology company and operates a research and development office in Ottawa, Canada's capital, Montreal and in Edmonton.
The Huawei corporation only employs only 380 people in Canada, with customers including Bell Canada, Telus, Wind Mobile and is a privately owned company.
The reports from US Intelligence advisors dating back five years indicate Huawei is a threat to "military and intelligence objectives" and Canada's intelligence community also warned it was a open door to Canada's own security.
Harper calls himself "honored" to sign huge contracts with two major players in Canada's technology field. One company, Telus just signed a 250 million dollar contract with the Canadian military for secure communications which is a terrible move.
Ontario Gives Grants-Free Money to Chinese Companies
Even though Huawei posted earnings of 32 billion dollars in 2011, the company has integrated itself with Canadian technology giants and actually received a 6.5 million dollar Grant from the Ontario government of taxpayers money.
More News: CBC Reporter Greg Weston, National Affairs Specialist
Chinese Firm's Canadian Contracts Raise Security Fears
"In an exclusive interview in Washington, Michelle K. Van Cleave told CBC News the involvement of Huawei Technologies in Canadian telecom networks risks turning the information highway into a freeway for Chinese espionage against both the U.S. and Canada." While the USA passes bills to control the internet such as SOPA, PIPA, ACTA and CISPA, Canada is opening the door to threats from the real hacking that goes on in China on intellectual property and military secrets. Nice work Canada, Eh?

Mercy High School seniors Sarah McLarty and Julia Kannam recently received the Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest honor a Girl Scout can earn. Only 5 percent of Girl Scouts nationwide earn this prestigious award.
The Gold Award involves more than a year of work and requires the completion of leadership development, career exploration, and community service projects. The final component is a 65-hour leadership project that each girl plans and executes to benefit her community.
For her community service project, McLarty chose to expand upon the Nature Center at Rocky Neck State Park in East Lyme by adding educational displays using local flora and fauna, taxidermy mounts, and jarred specimens all indigenous to the Connecticut shoreline.
"This project idea seemed so fitting and reflects my love of science and the campground," she said. "The additions to the Nature Center will broaden the minds and curiosity of visiting campers who will have an educational and fun way of learning during the summer months with hands on experience."
She has been a Girl Scout since kindergarten and is a member of Troop 6083. Upon graduation, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Steve McLarty of Berlin will be attending the University of Connecticut, pursuing a career in pharmacy.
Kannam's project addressed the need for computer literacy in young children. As a long-term volunteer at the I Have a Friend Youth Center in Middletown, she transformed one room into a technology lab and media room. By organizing donations of supplies, materials and computer equipment, she built a space where kids can access the modern educational resources that will help them with their education for years to come.
Due to the very high caliber of her project, the Girls Scouts of Connecticut are also nominating Kannam for the National Young Women of Distinction Honor. It is conferred by the Girl Scouts of the USA on 10 Girl Scout Gold Award recipients whose final projects demonstrated extraordinary leadership, had a measurable and sustainable impact, and addressed a local challenge that related to a national and/or global issue.
She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Kannam of Durham and plans to attend Dartmouth College in the fall.

Every once in a while, Richard Kluckhuhn, president of Laurel Fuel Oil and Heating Co., will open an old shelved box to find a specific copper fitting for a plumbing job. Instead, he will find dried mud and silt from 1972 — when Tropical Storm Agnes flooded the company at 101 Main St.
"It still plagues us," Kluckhuhn said of the historic storm, which caused an estimated $100,000 in damages to the company and millions of dollars in damages throughout Laurel when the Patuxent River overflowed its banks and washed over Route 1, onto Main Street and through low-lying areas of South Laurel.
Tropical Storm Agnes would become one of the worst natural disasters ever to hit Maryland and one of the costliest storms in the nation's history, with an estimated billions of dollars in damages.
Locally, the storm, which had been a hurricane in the south, caused an estimated 1,000 Laurel residents to be evacuated from their homes; and wreaked havoc in other low-lying areas of the county and region, destroying homes and businesses, and washing out bridges and roadways.
Laurel's historic Ninth Street and Race Course bridges were washed out completely, never to be replaced.
The storm—which dropped an estimated 10 to 14 inches of rain on Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania and caused massive flooding from North Carolina to New York—killed seven people along the Patapsco River, a total of 19 in Maryland and 122 along the East Coast, though none in Laurel, according to reports from local newspapers and the National Weather Service.
Electricity and phone service were knocked out for thousands; millions of gallons of sewage spilled into waterways from disturbed pipes and plants in Savage and elsewhere; the state issued warnings for people to boil their water; and President Richard Nixon declared the state a disaster area, according to local reports.
Laurel Fuel had 12 vehicles submerged, trucks standing in 5 feet of water, flooded offices and a submerged basement and two large oil tanks floating, Kluckhuhn said.
Heavy damages were also reported at Fred Frederick's Chrysler-Plymouth dealership and Mistletoe Garden Apartments, among other businesses and apartment complexes.
Damage from more than nature
Today, 40 years later, Agnes is remembered for its power and scope, and remains a key benchmark for local disasters. While the legacies of other great floods in the state—like those in 1868, 1923 and 1952—have largely faded, many people who lived through Agnes are still around and remember its wrath.
And in Laurel, many point to human causes for the flooding as much as to Mother Nature.
Kluckhuhn remembers the storm with frustration, specifically because of his belief that it was decisions made by the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission, and operators of the Brighton and Rocky Gorge dams upstream from Laurel that caused the flooding.
"This was a man-made flood: It wasn't a natural flood," he said in a recent interview.
"That was one of my big moments in Laurel when I was really disgusted," he said.
As the rain poured down on the night of June 21, 1972, operators at the dam faced the decision of how many gates to open and when to open them.
Then-Laurel Fire Chief Joseph Robison remembers getting a late-night phone call from Laurel Police telling him there was fear the dams would break and asking if they could use the fire hall as a staging area for emergency responders.
Robison said he immediately agreed, then got out of bed and headed into the storm to assess the situation.
When he realized the city's emergency siren wasn't yet wailing, he ordered that it start sounding immediately.
According to contemporary reports, some gates were opened at the dams at about 10:40 p.m. All had been opened by shortly after midnight.

Bottom-Up Programming
by Derek Sivers
Related link: http://www.paulgraham.com/progbot.html
A nice thing to look forward to in re-writing from scratch: Bottom-Up Programming. I like the way he describes this:
- the higher you build up the language, the less distance you will have to travel from the top down to it
- changing the language to suit the problem
- build the language up toward your program
- As you're writing a program you may think "I wish [I] had such-and-such an operator." So you go and write it.
- Language and program evolve together.
- In the end your program will look as if the language had been designed for it. And when language and program fit one another well, you end up with code which is clear, small, and efficient.
Look at a great example in Ruby, here. Extending the core library. Beautiful. Another one of the things I love about Ruby.

Select Route:
This is a big curtain of unhacked, solid, blue ice. Maybe about 80-95 feet tall, and 60-70 feet wide. There are independent lines anywhere from solid WI4/4+ to possibly as high as WI5+/6(?). The easiest lines being on the far right, and left side variations. The middle sections being a bit longer and harder. Lots of variations possible on this, and the surrounding cliffbands. Would get a tad easier with some traffic.
Screws, small selection of small to mid size rock gear. Snowshoes/poles helpful on approach. Beacons and a shovel and stuff might not be a bad idea to throw in if you have it, and if the snow's been coming down. A single 60 meter rope just got us down from the anchor we put in on the top left side of the climb.
Toprope Protection
N/A. Walk-around opportunities looked very dangerous and steep from what we could tell. Better off to lead it.

Obama Preaching at White House Forum on Women's Issues (AP Photo)
(Townhall) Female Obama Administration employees make considerably less than their male colleagues, according to the 2011 Annual Report to Congress on White House Staff female employees earned a median annual salary of $60,000 which was about 18% less than the median salary of $71,000 for male staffers.
Hypocritical: President Obama has frequently criticized the gender pay gap, such as the one which exists in his own administration–So much for equal pay for equal work.

News: Benzino Drops Eminem & Slaughterhouse Diss Song, "F*ck That Psychopath Redneck" [Audio]
Saturday, Sep 5, 2009 7:30PM
Benzino has re-vamped his war of words towards Slaughterhouse and Eminem by releasing a new diss song called "Good Fellaz" which warns emcees about his lyrical wrath.
While not making direct name references, Zino goes at both Em and Slaughterhouse on the unexpected diss record.
"I know them boys keep watching, they crowned me 'King of Boston,'" Benzino raps. "F*ck that psychopath redneck, he history/Feed him to the piranhas, shoulda put him out his misery/Respect the legacy, they curl up when they mention me -- I can't be vibin' with them n*ggas, that's a dead issue/He wasn't so official 'til I started f*cking with you/Too overrated, what I'm saying might be fraud to them/They bring that bacon to my house I have to Slaughter 'em..." ("Good Fellaz")
Benzino lashed out at Slaughterhouse, labeling them "overrated" in an interview earlier this week.
"I think them n*ggas is mad overrated, real talk," Zino said in an interview. "Yeah, them n*ggas is mad overrated yo, for real. I don't know what all the hype about them is. And I knew Tahiry was gonna leave Joe Buddens, you blog too much homie. You blog too much, stop blogging man and watch out [for] where your girl's at, man. You blog too much homie. Them n*ggas is overrated. I'm not f*cking with Slaughterhouse, f*ck them n*ggas. F*ck Royce Da 5'9, [it began] with some sh*t about we trying to interview Slaughterhouse and they don't want to give us an interview because of Kim 'Fat B*tch' O'Sorry H*e is wife to the manager of Royce Da 5'9 and they don't want to give us an interview so like f*ck them n*ggas man. Crooked I though, that's my n*gga. I can't front on Crooked I. I don't even have no beef, I just think them n*ggas is overrated. I don't even know who Joell Ortiz is, I'm not up on Joell Ortiz -- it's not that I don't like [Budden], I just think the n*ggas is overrated. I don't see where all the hype at, not just them n*ggas because I get a lot of hate out there but my thing is, I know I got some banging sh*t -- I bet you the Made Men could tear their a**holes out. Why not?" (57th Ave)
Writing via Twitter, Royce Da 5'9 reached out to his group members Budden, Crooked I and Joell Ortiz to get their take on the challenge.
"Aye #slaughterhouse ? @mousebudden @joellortiz @therealcrookedi Ya'll wanna do something bout #Bendreamo ?? lol," he wrote yesterday (September 3). "Just kidding ya'll...@mousebudden Nah Im f*ckin with yo." (Royce Da 5'9's Twitter)
Budden also publicly turned down the challenge via his Twitter page.
"@RoyceDaFive9 4 what ??," Joey responded. "If he get it, EVERYBODY gets it... & doin that right now ????u already know... NO COMMENT !!!!! Lol" (Joe Budden's Twitter)

The Houston Dynamo and Chicago Fire played 90 minutes, but at no point was it the least bit entertaining. The match finished scoreless and there weren't many clear cut chances. This one couldn't even be chalked up to good defense either because neither of the defenses were challenged so it was just a bore.
There was only once good chance in the match. It came just before halftime on a header by Will Bruin, but that went over the bar.
With both teams coming into the match on short rest and with a few starters sitting, it wasn't ever going to be a great match and it wasn't. It really, really wasn't. It was very ugly and very boring, but the results will do for both teams. Houston remains undefeated at home this season with four wins and three draws at BBVA Compass Stadium and the Fire are now undefeated in their last four matches.

Is there any plan to fix xbox music on surface RT?
I like my surface, but I feel so disappointed at the quality of Microsoft's first party apps. Xbox music is horrible in terms of usability and performance. Music is such a core feature of any consumption device like a tablet, I don't understand how MS could get it so wrong. Its slow to navigate, it skips half the songs on my playlist (music pass), and so many features are missing (who needs podcasts right?). Its been two months since the surface came out, and nothings really been fixed, how much longer will everyone have to put up with this terrible software? Is there any alternatives? If this never gets fixed, this will be my last Microsoft product I ever buy, I feel cheated.

RACING: Fond farewells paid to star Biddlecombe
7:00am Saturday 18th January 2014 in Sport By Russell Smith, Sports reporter specialising in horse racing. Call me on 01865 425453
Within the Holy Trinity Church at Ardington a star stood out.
On top of Terry Biddlecombe's coffin, alongside a wreath of white and maroon flowers, were his racing silks.
They comprised a white jacket with a maroon sash and armlets, and a white cap with a maroon star.
As that star stood out it could hardly have been more appropriate – just as the three-times champion jockey had done on so many occasions during his swashbuckling life.
Around 200 mourners, led by his widow, Henrietta Knight, were at Biddlecombe's funeral yesterday following his death on January 5, aged 72.
Among them were many of the big names from the racing fraternity, including trainers Nigel Twiston-Davies and Mick Channon.
Jim Culloty, who rode Best Mate to three Cheltenham Gold Cup wins when trained by Knight and Biddlecombe at West Lockinge, had come over from Ireland.
Henrietta Knight at the funeral of her husband Terry Biddlecombe, followed by her sister, Lady Vestey
Former top trainers Barry Hills and Ian Balding were also there along with several jockeys including Dominic Elsworth and Timmy Murphy, plus former top jockey Mick Fitzgerald.
Terry Court, Biddlecombe's boss during his time at Brightwells Auctioneers, gave a personal tribute in which he described him as having an "amazing personality, terrific zest for life and a cavalier attitude".
It was Court who reintroduced Biddlecombe to Knight at a sale at Malvern.
"What a team they were," he said. "What success they achieved and what a fitting name their great horse was called as that is exactly what Hen and Terry were 'Best Mates'.
"They have been talked about as the odd couple, but to me it has been a fairy-tale."
At the end of the service, Biddlecombe's coffin, complete with his silks, was driven away for a private cremation.
The star had gone, but never to be forgotten.

Inguinal Hernia HydroceleOn this page:
About Inguinal Hernia
Treatment for Inguinal Hernia
Care After Inguinal Hernia Repair
Frequently Asked Questions
Helful Links
If you notice a small lump or bulge in your child's groin area or an enlargement of the scrotum, you may have discovered an inguinal hernia. This condition, which is present in five of every 100 children (most commonly in boys), occurs when an opening in the lower abdominal wall allows the child's intestine to squeeze through.
A hernia in a child is due to a failure of normal protrusions from the peritoneum to close properly before birth. The peritoneum is a large, balloon-like sac that surrounds all the organs within the abdomen. Before birth, this sac has two fingerlike projections through the muscle walls which, in boys, lead into the scrotum alongside the testicles and, in girls, lead into the labia. Normally, these projections separate from the rest of the peritoneum before birth, producing in boys protective sacs for the testicles inside the scrotum. When these extensions do not close properly, a small portion of the bowel may push through into the groin or scrotum, producing a hernia. If the opening is very small and only abdominal fluid comes down into the sac, it is called a hydrocele.
About Inguinal Hernia
Hydroceles and Inguinal Hernias
Hydroceles and inguinal (groin) hernias can create problems in males. But do they cause pain and dysfunction? When and how should they be treated? The following information should help you talk to a urologist about these two conditions.
What causes hernias and hydroceles?
Testicles develop near kidneys in the abdomen and descend from that location to their normal position in the scrotum towards the end of pregnancy. In order for the testicles to leave the abdomen, a muscle ring in the groin on each side opens and allows the testicles to drop down to the scrotum. As the testicle descends, the lining of the abdomen also drops to line the scrotum. This channel closes in most boys. If that channel remains open, or reopens, a small amount of fluid can go from the abdomen to the scrotum through this passage. This results in hydrocele. If the channel remains opens or reopens widely, then a portion of the intestine can pass down the channel towards the scrotum. This results in an inguinal hernia.
> read more
Hydroceles can also develop due to inflammation or injury within the scrotum. These sometimes resolve over a few months but many remain and require medical attention. Hernias can also be the result of increased pressure that forces part of the intestines through a weak spot in the abdominal wall - straining during bowel movements, heavy lifting, coughing, sneezing or obesity.
What are the symptoms of a hernia?
Only about 25 percent of hernias cause pain or discomfort. However, you may be able to see and feel the bulge that often occurs at the junction of the thigh and groin. About 1 percent of boys develop hernias with premature infant males having a higher incidence. Sometimes, the protruding intestine enters the scrotum and causes pain and/or swelling in the scrotum.
What are the symptoms of a hydrocele?
About 10 percent of male infants have a hydrocele at birth. Seldom causing symptoms, this swelling of the scrotum does not bother a baby and usually disappears in the first year of life, even though the appearance may worry new parents. In older males, a hydrocele usually remains painless but may cause discomfort due to the increased size of the scrotum.
How are hernias treated?
Surgery to repair the muscle ring that did not close properly is recommended for a hernia in a child. Hernias do not go away on their own and may cause problems with digestion leading to emergency surgery. In infants and children, a small incision is made in the groin through which a urologist sutures or sews the channel shut and repairs the muscle ring. This procedure can be done in an outpatient setting. In teenagers and adults, laparoscopic surgery may be considered.
How are hydroceles treated?
Hydroceles require surgical repair if they cause symptoms, such as growing large or changing size significantly during the day. If the hydrocele is uncomplicated, an incision is made in the scrotum . The hydrocele is cut out, removing the tissues involved in the hydrocele. If there are complications, such as a hernia, an incision is made in the inguinal (groin) area. This approach allows repair of hernias and other complicating factors at the same time.
What can be expected after treatment for hernias and hydroceles?
After surgery, there will be discomfort that will require pain medication. In most cases, pain is reduced during the first week so that pain medication is no longer necessary. It may be necessary to restrict full activity for several weeks, depending on your child's age and whether or not both sides were treated. If your son still plays on straddle toys, such as a rocking horse, he may have to avoid them for a time. The testicle and scrotum may stay swollen for several weeks after surgery before returning to normal. After surgery, less than 1 percent of cases have a hernia or hydrocele return.
Treatment of Inguinal Hernia
Most hernias do not cause any discomfort, and you or the pediatrician will discover them only by seeing the bulge. While this kind of hernia must be treated, it is not an emergency condition. You should, however, notify your doctor, who may instruct you to have the child lie down and elevate his legs. Sometimes this will cause the bulge to disappear. However, your doctor will still want to examine the area as soon as possible.
Rarely, a piece of the intestine gets trapped in the hernia, causing swelling and pain. (If you touch the area, it will be tender.) This condition is called an incarcerated (trapped) hernia, and does require immediate medical attention.
> read more
Even if the hernia is not incarcerated, it still needs to be surgically repaired as soon as possible. The surgeon also may check the other side to see if it, too, needs to be corrected, since it is very common for the same defect to be present there.
If the hernia is causing pain, it may indicate that a piece of intestine has become trapped or incarcerated. In that case, your pediatrician will want to be consulted immediately. He may try to move the trapped piece of intestine out of the sac. Even if this can be done, the hernia still needs to be surgically repaired soon thereafter. If the intestine remains trapped despite the physician's efforts, emergency surgery must be performed to prevent permanent damage to the intestine.

Care After Inguinal Hernia Repair
INCISION CARE: The incision (cut) is covered with a small bandage. It will begin to peel off in two or three days. Do not scrub the incision if it becomes dirty. Wipe it off with a damp washcloth and blot it dry.
DISCOMFORT: Your child may have some discomfort for a few days. If your child is irritable or uncomfortable, give acetaminophen with codeine (example: Tylenol with codeine). If your child has a fever(102F or less) give acetaminophen (example: Tylenol). Follow the directions on the bottle. If your child's fever is 102F or above call Dr. Jerkins(see the number below). Give your child plenty of fluids. Some swelling in the scrotum is common for the first two weeks after surgery.
> read more
ACTIVITY: Keep your child quiet for the first two days after surgery, then your child can do normal activity as he/she feels like it. Do not let your child play hard, participate in sports or P.E. class, or ride a bike until the doctor gives permission. Your child may usually return to school two to three days after surgery.
DIET: Your child should have cool, clear liquids (examples: water, apple juice, sodas) the first few hours after surgery. If your child tolerates the fluids well, then you can give your child a normal diet. If vomiting occurs, stop the food or fluids for a couple of hours and then begin with fluids again.
BATHING: Give your child sponge baths for the first 48 hours. Then he/she may take a bath or shower.
- Fresh bleeding from the incision
- Bad odor or pus from the incision
- Excessive swelling or blueness at the surgery site
REMEMBER: Call following surgery within a week to make an appointment for follow up usually in 2-3 weeks.
Frequently asked questions:
Are hernias or hydroceles hereditary?
No. Hernias and hydroceles are common. And while several family members may experience them, there is no evidence that they are inherited.
Is there anything a parent did to cause a hernia or hydrocele in their child?
What is the likelihood of a hernia developing on the other side?
This depends on the age of the child. Younger children treated for a hernia are much more likely to develop a hernia on the other side than older children. In younger children, sometimes a laparoscope is used to look at and evaluate the opposite side. If the examination shows that a hernia is present or likely to occur, then surgical repair is done on both sides as a preventive course of action.
What is the likelihood of a hydrocele developing on the other side?
The risk of developing a hydrocele on the other side is about 5 percent. Because of this low risk, many times the laparoscopic evaluation is not performed.
Do girls develop hydroceles and hernias?
Girls do not develop hydroceles. They can develop hernias but because of their anatomy, girls are 10 times less likely than boys to develop hernias.

The Bismarck Bobcats are 14 and 7.
Goalie Aaron Nelson has been in net for 13 of those wins.
Tia Streeter: Bismarck native Aaron Nelson, has been a quiet steady leader for the Bobcats in his 3 seasons.
Layne Sedevie: you see him go side to side the way he moves the way he can make the big save he's a 5'9 and half goaltender and there's something to be said for that and he's a captain on the ice off the ice he's the hardest working guy that's one of the reasons for his success.
Tia Streeter: The Cats have been leaning heavily on Nelson so far this season, he's started 21 of 23 games, the most of any tender in the NAHL.
Aaron Nelson: my first year I played 20 games, its a different role you gotta be prepared every night and you just gotta give your team a chance to win and I feel like I've been doing that every night
Layne Sedevie: when we looked at the off season you want to build from the goalie out, and I think Aaron is arguably the best goalie in the league and obviously we feel he's the best we knew he'd play a lot of games
Tia Streeter: Nelson's 5 foot 9 inch frame has him undersized among goalies, but that has just pushed him to work harder. Next year he wants to play Division I hockey, but he says there's a time for everything.
Layne Sedevie: someone to give him the opportunity, he's not 6-4, but he's a division I goaltender I feel he's a very successful division I goaltender the way he tracks the puck, the way he reads the puck I really fell like we've had some great goaltenders come through here, he and another kid are the great goal tenders to play for this program, I think when he gets there he'll prove people wrong
Aaron Nelson: you don't see goalies very often being smaller scouts and coaches look at goalies that are big, but you also need goalies that can stop the puck so in the end you need to stop the puck and I can do that, and hopefully I'll continue to improve and do that"
The Bobcats are back in action this weekend with a home and home series with Brooking's.
The Cats play at the VFW Friday night at 7:15.

Blast From The (Doomed) Past
Just about three and a third years ago, grinding it out in the six floor spot in the Spice Factory. It was known as Auxiliary Studios, shared by BRLSQ, Amy Jo and Unitus. The piece I'm working on was for Southern Lord and their bands Sunn0))) and Boris for a string of special dates playing together, I believe for the first time on the West Coast. They were somewhere in the middle of the Alter sessions. Aaron aka A. Horkey did pretty much all the art on this one coming with the awesome tree with glowing Model T tube. I suggested having the tree radiating energy out to spectral figures to represent each band member (plus Joe Preston), around it's perimeter as if they were at a seance. O'Malley and Aaron liked the idea and incorporated it into the art. I then added the background sky, separated and printed that bootch with several different people helping me out by racking and cheering me (on like Mike in the video). Two separate editions for over 500 total prints with this image. We shipped them a bunch then Letta and I hit San Francisco for the Halloween "Altar" show there, dropping off another batch of prints while we were at it. The same day, we delivered prints to the Melvins who were playing with Jello Biafra and a bunch of other Alternative Tentacles bands. We managed to catch both Sunn0)) and Boris then head out and catch the Jelvins show too. Jeezus. Anyway, Sunn0))) and Boris liked the art so much, when it came time to release "Alter", they used it for the cover along with some elements for the tour poster we did for them the following spring. I'm thinking about bringing that hair back. Not the hand pulling of full sheets though. Read More

The last two weeks have pretty much folded the Cowboys season. After an unconvincing win against the Panthers, the Cowboys took on the Giants. That game seemed over before the second quarter started, but Dallas made a heroic comeback, only to collapse in the 4th quarter and lose anyway. With a 3-4 record facing the undefeated Falcons, many thought that week 9 was going to be the Cowboys defining moment. A win against Atlanta would relight the torch and Dallas would once again be a contender. A loss, which seemed likely would all but cave the Cowboys post season hopes. Well, they lost.
There is still hope. While the Giants advance to 6-3 and will most likely win the division, the Cowboys can still compete for the wild card spots. Their upcoming schedule looks much easier than the first eight games, especially now after seeing the way the Eagles have played so far this year.
The Eagles are having a tough time. Their franchise tackle is out for the year. Mike Vick has the threat of being benched in favor of a rookie over his head. The defense is not living up to anything they were expected to do. With Dallas' new defense that has been basically lights out for the most part this year, Mike Vick will have a tough time negotiating his way to scores. Expect him to throw a pick and fumble the ball away as the Cowboys defense lifts them up to 4-5 by keeping the Eagles at 17 and giving the offense enough to put on 20. Not a pretty record, but it will hopefully become much prettier.
Vs Browns
No debate. The Cowboys finally get a break as the Cowboys defense plays lights out and the offense gets their chance to do something positive. The Cowboys easily win 31-10 and lift their record to 5-5.
Vs Redskins
This one may be a toughie with the new RG3 regime going on in DC. But the redskins defense is not very good, and the Cowboys pass defense should keep Griffin in check. Although it's difficult, the Cowboys roll out with a win that puts them right back in the thick of things, as they improve to 6-5.
Vs Eagles
The Cowboys season rests on the next three games. The Eagles have already been beaten by Dallas (hopefully) and at home where the crowd is not so mean to Dallas, Dallas finds a way to win and continue their win streak with a solid win. The defense locks down again and although Romo gives up a couple turnovers, the Cowboys defense does enough and Dallas wins again 23-14 and are now 7-5.
At first glance, I thought this was a game the Boys' would lose. However, the Bengals seem to have lost their ability to win as well, and the Cowboys should be able to exploit that. I think this will be a defensive battle, ruled by Cinci's defensive line and Dallas' pass defense. However, the Cowboys have the edge of (hopefully) a better run game with Murray, and the more experienced QB as Tony Romo edges Andy Dalton on a field goal for the win drive that allows the Boys' to take the game 19-17 and improve, after an astonishing 5 win streak, to 8-5.
vs Steelers
The Cowboys hot streak ends here. The Steelers have an effective offense and one of the best defenses. The Cowboys seem off all day here as the Steelers are just too much to handle at this point and Dallas falls behind 27-14 when the clock hits 00:00. The Cowboys fall to 8-6, with the wild card chase on.
vs Saints
This was also another game I saw the Saints winning. However, without Carl Nicks, their O line has taken a blow. Without a proper coach, they seem out of sync, and the Cowboys should be able to lock down enough on the offense, and capitalize enough on the defense to take a big lead in the fourth quarter, and the Saints can't finish a comeback. Dallas wins 24-20. They improve to 9-6 with the last game of the season upon them.
The Cowboys will be sitting at 9-6 here after starting off 3-5. With a win, I think they can snag a wild card spot, and with a loss, still might be able to, depending on how other teams fare. But regardless, I see the Cowboys completing the sweep here. I think RG3 has a great day after his near-season of experience, but the offense and defense show up to play and the Cowboys survive their last test of the season and miraculously finish 10-6 with a wild card game coming up after a 27-23 victory in DC.
I really do think the Cowboys can pull off the 8 games listed above. I know its a long shot that they go 7-1 after going 3-5 the first half, but I think the Boys' can do it. The only significant threats are Philly and Pitt. Philly is fairly mistake prone and all of these teams save the Steelers match up poorly against the Cowboys. The Cowboys have a key advantage they can grasp in all the other games. I know Dallas lost to ATL, but hey they gave the undefeated Falcons a hard time. If Dallas can play they way they did in ATL, Baltimore, and New York, a 7-1 finish should not be hard. Give or take a split with the Eagles, the Boys can still finish 9-7, which was enough to lift the Giants in last year. All I'm saying is, I have faith in Dallas and I believe that the cast of Witten, Ware, Carr, Claiborne, Smith, Murray, Austin, Bryant and Romo will take us to the post season once again.
Oh hey, and the MAVS are lighting it up!!!! What happens when Dirk returns?? NBA better watch out....

Hundreds of new picnic tables were placed in South Carolina state parks
this spring through a community service project called "600 in 60", which brought together a private company, a state agency and a civic
organization in support of parks.
Using lumber donated by Orangeburg-based Cox Industries, Inc., and labor from scout organizations across the state, the project provided 600 new picnic tables to state parks in 60 days throughout March and April. The project is valued at more than $100,000.
"This is how public-private partnerships are supposed to work," said Governor Nikki Haley said Tuesday."We have a corporate partner committed to community service, a state agency with specific needs and a volunteer organization ready to help. It is an ideal collaboration that works for everyone involved."
Video footage of Tuesday's event can be found here.
More than 2,000 cub scouts and boy scouts spent weekends assembling the tables provided by Cox Industries, nailing together pre-drilled and pre-cut lumber, and leaving the finished products at picnic grounds and other venues at state parks. Thirty-two state parks in South Carolina received tables.
"These kids did some mighty heavy lifting," said Duane Parrish, Director of the South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism. "Not only did they spend hours working on this project, they provided tangible gifts to state parks that are often taken for granted."
The idea came from Michael Johnson, President and CEO of Cox Industries, an Eagle Scout himself who has a deep appreciation for state parks and scouting programs.
"This project was originally simply a way to get the young people and adults, associated with youth programs like Scouting, to recognize all South Carolina has to offer," said Michael Johnson. "Today, I wish more of our young people spoke of the State Parks with the same excitement as they do of video games or theme parks. We have these incredible assets right here in our very own communities."
His company provided all of the material needed for the tables – including lumber, nuts, bolts and screws – and shipped them to supply stores or lumber yards near state parks. The Park Service worked closely with scout councils around the state to schedule "assembling dates" throughout March and April. The volunteer scouts ranged in age from 7 to 18, and represented troops and packs from across the state. Each scout who completed a table was given an official patch designed specifically for "600 in 60" by the Boy Scouts of America.
"We were proud to be a part of this impressive project because it fits well with the timeless values and core principles of scouting," said Doug Stone, Scout Executive and CEO of the Indian Waters Council, the BSA council that represents organizations in the Midlands.
The last of the picnic tables will be built on April 27th at several state parks throughout South Carolina.

LAS VEGAS -- A standing room only crowd squeezed into the Clark County school board meeting Thursday as student demonstrators showed up to oppose a school restructuring plan that calls for a shake-up among teachers at five low-performing schools and the reassigning of three principals. Three principals will also be reassigned.
Demonstrators pounded the pavement outside Thursday's school board meeting. Students from Chaparral High School are upset about a shake-up at their school.
"We're all supporting our teachers showing them that we care for them and that we don't want them to leave," said Arlette Aguilar, Chaparral High School Junior
Chaparral is one of five schools the Clark County School District has identified as low-performing. The district is applying for a $9.4 million federal school improvement grant. But to get the money, the staff at Chaparral and four other campuses must re-apply the keep their jobs and some principals are out.
"They're picking on the best principal in the state of Nevada. Mr. McPartlin had done a lot for these kids," said Sandy House, Chaparral High School Grandmother.
Police stood by as students rallied on behalf of Chaparral.
"They're only looking at numbers and the bad in Chaparral, and nobody sees the good, and I think the good would definitely cancel out the bad," said Darla House, Chaparral High School Senior.
Inside, school colors filled the board room, and many students were moved to tears.
"Not only had this past year been amazing, but these past four years that I had at Chaparral has been an experience that I will never forget," said Dawntaya Smith-McAlister, Student Body President, Chaparral High School.
Superintendent Dwight Jones pledged to meet with the Chaparral Student Council.
"When we say turn around a low-performing school that does not mean that all the hard work and the things that are going on in the school are just being dismissed. We get it. We know that there's progress," said Jones.
Although the students had their voices heard, CCSD says the staffing changes are a sure thing.
Besides Chaparral, other campuses affected include Mojave and Western High Schools, as well as Hancock and Elizondo Elementary school. Under the restructuring plans, no one will be fired or laid off from the district.

Remember the Zoe Saldana-starring/Luc Besson-produced/Olivier Megaton-directed revenge thriller Colombiana? We haven't seen anything more of it since a set of first-look photos were made public last fall, in November.
The film is scheduled for a September 2nd theatrical release, exactly 4 months from today, so, it's only logical that a trailer would surface some time soon.
Well, I just got word that the first trailer for Colombiana will be released on the web this Thursday afternoon, and will then be attached to prints of Jumping The Broom which opens this weekend!
Interesting, considering one is a PG-13 romcom, and the other is a yet-to-be-rated revenge actioner about a young woman who grows up to be a stone-cold assassin, after witnessing the murder of her parents in Bogota.
both have women in central roles, I imagined the target audiences would differ. But what do I know? I'm definitely anxious to see and hear what this baby looks and sounds like.
I've had my doubts about Zoe Saldana in the title role, as Cataleya Restrepo, but I'm certainly open to being proven wrong when the trailer drops this Thursday. Of course, I'll post it here once that happens!
phil | July 7, 2011 7:29 AM
Seriously...if any of these people actually went to Colombia they would see that it isn't anything like it was back during the drug wars. I feel safer there then I do in the states. Absolutely disrespectful to an entire nation of people who have done nothing but try to change the stereotypical image in the minds of themseleves to the rest of the world. I like Zoe, always have, but this turns my stomach as a proud Colombian American.
nikki | May 4, 2011 6:25 AM
Well, said @Marie! I change is coming for black actors in hollywood
Marie | May 4, 2011 5:16 AM
I can't wait to see the trailer. Love Zoe!
Marissa | May 3, 2011 8:21 AM
I am so happy for Zoe and I hope this is a hit! We need more black women in lead roles. Hollywood has been acting like Halle no talent Berry is the only option for far too long.
Jay | May 3, 2011 5:20 AM
Let's get it.
Nadell | May 3, 2011 3:33 AM
Niiiice! I've been anticipating "Jumping the Broom" and will be in theaters to see it on opening nite!

Hobby Lobby Stores, which is a privately held retail chain with more than 500 arts and crafts stores in 41 states, and including a store right here in Wichita Falls, has filed a lawsuit against the Health and Human Services mandate. The company filed the suit yesterday in U.S. District Court in Oklahoma against the mandate which would force the christian- owned and operated business to provide, without co-pay, the "morning after pill" and "week after pill" in its health insurance plan. If the company doesn't comply, it would be fined up to $1.3 million dollars per day. Hobby Lobby is the largest and only non-catholic-owned business to file a lawsuit against the Health and Human Services mandate.

Crime-Proof Your Kids
In case of emergency, teach your child these safety basics.
« Previous | 1 of 1 | Next »
Know where your child is at all times. In addition, learn her friends' last names and record their addresses and telephone numbers.
Always carry a recent photo of your child, regardless of her age, in case a search becomes necessary. Take new color photos every six months, from different angles.
Consider having your child fingerprinted by local law enforcement (the service is usually free), and store the prints in a safe place. Professionally done fingerprints can be helpful in identifying a child who is unconscious or can't speak for herself.
Be sure your child knows:
- His full name, address and telephone number, as well as your full name. Teach him never to reveal this information to anyone without your permission. The exception is when he is lost or in danger.
- How and when to dial 911. Be sure your child understands what constitutes an emergency.
- That bad people sometimes look nice and act friendly, and people on the Internet don't always tell the truth.
- To keep the doors locked and windows closed, especially when she's home alone.
For more information on child safety, take COURTTV.com's Safety Challenge.
