What is the best over-the-counter medicine for general aches and pains?
- Q: What is the best over-the-counter medicine for general aches and pains?
- A: Over-the-counter (OTC) pain medicines can provide relief for mild to moderate pain. OTC pain relief options include acetaminophen (Tylenol) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). There are pros and cons to both acetaminophen and the NSAIDS. Acetaminophen can be effective in relieving pain, but it does not help with inflammation. For pain that involves inflammation or pain that does not respond to acetaminophen, NSAIDs may be effective. NSAIDs include aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), and naproxen (Aleve). Acetaminophen tends to have fewer side effects than NSAIDS and can be taken on an empty stomach. However, it can be hard on the liver and may not be appropriate for anyone with a history of liver disease or alcoholism. NSAIDs generally need to be taken with food and can cause serious side effects including bleeding from the digestive tract and an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. The risk for heart attack and stroke increases with long-term use of NSAIDs, while the risk of bleeding from the digestive tract can happen at any time during NSAID use. Always read and follow the complete directions and warnings on over-the-counter medicines and discuss their use with your doctor before using them. This is not a complete list of risks and side effects. For more specific information, consult with your doctor or local pharmacist for guidance based on your health status and current medications, particularly before taking any action.

Take a jaunt down Billings' Sugar Ave.
There's a street in Billings called Sugar Avenue, and it 's a very appropriately named street. That's because every winter, more than 1.5 million pounds of sugar is produced at the Western Sugar Cooperative plant.
Contributor Jennifer McKee took us into the refinery in our July/August issue, taking readers through the process of making sugar from Montana-grown sugar beets. It's quite a process.
The sugar ends up in products across the world, helping to sweeten things you've almost definitely eaten (like Wilcoxson's ice cream or Wheat Montana bread).
But how do you make sugar from a beet? Here's a quick breakdown of the process:
From seed to sugar
Seed: From mid-April to May, planting season begins for beet farmers on 150 Montana farms from Bridger to Custer
Root: From May through September the seeds begin to grow on the 24,000 acres of Montana farmland into what will become white, two-to five- pound, foot-long sugar beets. Beets contain up to 22 percent sucrose
Sugar beet: In September, harvesting season begins and roughly 1.5 billion of pounds of sugar beets are shipped to "beet dumps" around the state. Beets are then delivered by truck to the Billings refinery
Refining: From September through mid-February, once at the Western Sugar Cooperative refinery, beets are taken through a three hour process to make sugar. The refinery runs nonstop producing sugar
Sugar water: Inside the refinery every day beets are washed in river water, sliced with precision, dropped into a diffuser where steam coaxes out sugar. The resulting sugar water is then pumped into pans that induce crystallization
Crystals: As sugar crystals form, they're sent through a centrifuge that blasts the last of the water from the sugar
Sugar: The sugar is spun dry and packaged. Every day of operation, the Billings refinery produces 1.5 million pounds of sugar. Sugar is shipped from the refinery to facilities across the world, including to Hershey, Penn.

Survey says Montana home to 2 top national parks
You probably saw this online poll making the social media rounds in the past couple weeks, asking people to vote for the nation's best national park.
Easy choice right?!? Well there are two easy choices for most Montanans…
There was a good campaign and showing coming out of Montana, and our national parks earned the No. 2 (Glacier National Park) and No. 3 (Yellowstone National Park)spots.
I think we can all agree it should've been a tie for first, with Glacier and Yellowstone at the top. But it was Maine's Acadia National Park that took the No. 1 spot.
Still, pretty good showing for MT. And in case this makes you want to go and see the parks, we have a great suggestion on the best way to take in the scenery.
Writer Ednor Therriault wrote a great feature in our July/August issue about the iconic red and yellow buses the operate inside Glacier and Yellowstone. It really is a fun story. And even if you've seen the parks, Ednor says you're missing out if you haven't seen them in a bus.

Centennial farms and ranches: Celebrating a century of MT stories
"These days, to have a job for 10 years is something of an achievement. To spend an entire lifetime on something is remarkable, and to spend multiple lifetimes in dogged determination is downright admirable."
That's what Montana photographer Thomas Lee told our readers to introduce his Portfolio of photos that documented the lives of three Montana centennial ranching families in our July/August issue.
Lee's Portfolio, "A Century of Stories" introduced readers to three of the 28 Montana families that have been honored by the Montana Historical Society's Montana Centennial Farm and Ranch program.
You can meet the families Lee highlights and learn more about the program with our interactive map. To see all the photos, pick up our July/August issue.

Glacier National Park in spotlight of July/August issue
Our fourth issue of 2014 is taking readers into the heart of one of the most special places on earth (at least us Montanans think so): Glacier National Park.
As you can see on our cover, we've got some gorgeous and amazing features to share.
Mountain goats, you should know, are under observation in Glacier as park officials continue a three year study to determine how the increased visitor numbers are affecting the goats.
We'll also show you how, after 100 years, the remaining operating chalets in Glacier are thriving.
And we'll take you on a ride on the famous Red Jammers inside Glaicer. How does that compare to a ride on the iconic yellow buses in Yellowstone National Park? Read our feature to find out.
There's more. We've got sugar beets, a glimpse at how a few artisans are crafting a living with handmade products, and a look at three families that have farmed their land for more than a century.

Handpicked horses help riders find mobility, independence
Here's a sweet story out of the Bitterroot Valley for you on a almost-summer Thursday.
The Bitterroot Theraputic Ranch near Corvallis is home to special horses that, as writer Brett Berntsen explains, have a very special duties.
Take Tonah, for example:
Tonah, a Norwegian Fjord, fits the mold perfectly. As a small draft horse, she can carry heavy loads yet isn't tall, making it easy to mount and dismount. Moreover, she has the calm, patient demeanor necessary for long days in the arena.
. . .
Astride a beige mare named Tonah, Abbie Jessop leads the exercise. Despite being born with cerebral palsy and nearly deaf, the 18-year-old Pinesdale resident rides independently.
She steers the patient mare next to a metal rack holding plastic rings. Reaching up with a shaky hand, she spears a ring and drops it onto a nearby cone like a gaucho in training.
We featured the ranch in our May/June issue with a spread of amazing photos by photography Lido Vizzutti. Grab a copy to see all the photos.
Until then, the full story is online now.

State parks offer 54 unique places to play
There are 54 state parks (soon to be 55) spread out across the expanse of Montana. Few people can say they've been to every one.
From the almost 12,000 acre Makoshika in the east to Les Mason up in the northwestern corner of the state, how do you know where to go?
We were happy to help the Montana State Parks celebrate its 75th anniversary in our May/June issue with the help of the wonderful Kristen Inbody and Erin Madison – two Montanans who can say they've been to every one of the state parks.
To prove it, they wrote a guide book and travel companion that was recently published. It's a great guide to have on you dashboard as you travel Montana.
If you want to learn more about the parks right now, check out our interactive map with our preview of the 75th anniversary feature.
Don't forget to find us on Instagram (montanamagazine) to see images from the state parks we visit this year.

Makoshika named one of country's top 'hidden gem' parks
Makoshika State Park – one of our FAVORITES – was featured as a "hidden gem" in Country Magazine's recent feature that included other lesser known parks across the country.
The intro to the feature supports the notion that Makoshika is tops:
These national and state parks don't get as much attention as others, but we think they're among the best parks in the United States.
What did Country love about Makoshika?
It's "soaring rock formations and prehistoric relics" make it a "surprisingly fascinating and colorful destination."
We have a list of the top four things to do at Makoshika, an online post that paired with our portfolio on the park published in the March/April issue of MT Mag.
Other gems included Baxter State Park in Maine and Palo Duro Canyon in Texas.

The Hasselblad H5D-40 Medium Format DSLR Camera captures high resolution images great clarity and color rendering on a massive 40MP image sensor. This medium format DSLR produces incredibly detailed image quality that is ideal for landscape, portrait, commercial, and fine art photography or for those who are looking to work with high-end equipment. The Hasselblad H5D-40 is a powerhouse made of an aluminum inner core with stainless steel housing. RAW files are about 65MB (7304 x 5478) each. For comparison, the D800's considerably hefty 36MP produces 40-45MB RAW files (7360 x 4912). The Hasselblad Natural Color Solution achieves consistent color reproduction using a single color profile and the H5D-40's central lens/leaf shutter allows flash sync at all shutter speeds, enabling use of flash in all lighting conditions (shutter range is 256 seconds to 1/800th of a second). This provides studio photographers with much more creative control over their lighting compared to shooting with focal plane shutter DSLRs, which typically only have a maximum shutter/flash sync speed of only around 1/200th-1/250th of a second.
Other great features include a 90 degree eye-level ultra-bright viewfinder with 3.1x image magnification, instant focus confirmation so that one does not have to check their focus after each shot, Digital Spirit Leveling to allow placement of the camera vertically or horizontally, a 3.0" 24-bit color/460,320-pixel LCD, and print-ready JPEGs. This camera is not lightweight (it is just over 5lbs) nor is it fast (1.1 seconds a capture). However, its technical quality is without compromise. The 40 million pixel sensor has almost twice the capture area of the largest 35mm DSLR sensors and also comes equipped with low noise color filters. The native digital lens correction system removes any trace of distortion, vignetting, or chromatic aberrations in your capture. This camera is the best tool to use when image quality, color, and detail are essential.

London Welsh keen to purchase Kassam Stadium

January 4, 2013

London Welsh managing director John Taylor has revealed that the Aviva Premiership side are looking to buy the Kassam Stadium.
The Exiles are currently ground-sharing the stadium with Oxford United following their promotion to the top flight before the current season. The ground is owned by Firoz Kassam and Taylor has revealed that "conversations have been had" with the former owner of Oxford United.
London Welsh previously played at Old Deer Park but the ground's capacity of 5,850 fell well below the Kassam's 12,500. And Welsh are now looking to secure their long-term future both in the Premiership and in Oxford.
"When we first came here there was a bit of opportunism about it in that we had to find a stadium that satisfied the minimum stadium's criteria," Taylor told the BBC. "This is one of them and seemed the best. But since we have arrived we have decided Oxford is the area for us. The ground and the demographics of the population make it suitable for us.
"We have put a lot of work in the local community. We have two community development officers based here now. We are into the schools, we are moving into the clubs and we see this as our long-term home. We are certainly exploring the possibility and we are looking for ways we can raise the money so we can do it."
The next step for London Welsh will be to secure investors and Taylor has confirmed that there is some interest from within Wales in helping the side fund the purchase. "A stadium is a big investment but in some ways it is a good investment because you have bricks and mortar," Taylor added. "Some investors want some actual structure rather than just a club.
"There are some fairly heavy-weight guys in the Welsh community who are exploring it with us at the moment. It would be premature to say any more than that but we are certainly looking into it."

Consumer Choice in Electricity: A Critical Appraisal
FERC and the PJM ISO must remedy market power problems, particularly for capacity and fixed transmission rights within the PJM Power Pool. At the outset of the market, these authorities have the responsibility to make sure that the capacity market is efficient and liquid.
The Pennsylvania commission also became the first regulatory body to establish a shopping credit as the residual number after the unbundled generation rate is split into a CTC and a shopping credit. By setting the shopping credit as the residual, the majority rejected the alternatives of setting the shopping credit or generation credit as equal to a market price estimate or making the CTC the residual. Either alternative inevitably destroys competition by making it nearly impossible for new entrants to deliver any savings to consumers - while awarding stranded costs to utilities. By setting the shopping credit equal to the competitive price, or by making the CTC the residual number, regulators ensure that consumers will get only very small savings at best - and then only if they can find a supplier that can beat the competitive market price, which is a nice trick.
The Fleecing of Consumers
Pennsylvania's electric utilities have certainly amassed a huge amount of stranded costs. Most of that total marks the result of poor utility and regulatory decision making. The captive consumers are innocent of this mess. Yet they are and will remain on the hook as the bankers of last resort for the utilities, until competition relieves them of this costly duty.
Despite what you may have been told or heard, the Pennsylvania PUC has treated the state's electric utilities fairly when deciding the contentious question of stranded costs (which serve as a perverse monument to the failure of electric monopolies and the regulatory model). Do not be fooled by the anguished, even bitter, legal and press attacks that some electric utilities have fired at the PUC. The truth is that Pennsylvania's electric utilities are the recipients, grateful or not, of a great act of generosity by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Including a pretax return of 10 percent to 11 percent on the $12.2 billion of stranded costs that have been approved for recovery, Pennsylvania's electric utilities will receive at least $21 billion in stranded cost payments over the next seven to 12 years (see Table 5).
The billions of dollars of recovered stranded costs will be collected through a per-kWh charge - the aforementioned CTC. It must be separately identified on the bill of each customer. Each utility's CTC is different and will vary by rate class.
The CTC partially quantifies how far the regulated rates of all of Pennsylvania's electric utilities lie above competitive prices (including the rates of West Penn Power Co., the utility with the lowest electric rates in Pennsylvania). The CTC, therefore, is a measure of the failure (though still incomplete) of traditional regulation. For every electric utility, the CTC makes up a substantial portion of the current regulated rate (see Table 6).
Considering how the airline and trucking industries were treated during deregulation, the recovery of

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - State health officials say the swine flu vaccine is now available to all Oklahomans.
The H1N1 vaccine had initially been reserved for priority groups such as children and pregnant women.
The state Health Department on Tuesday announced that about 90,000 doses of the vaccine are expected in the state this week. The doses include both nasal spray and injectable vaccines.
Those wanting the swine flu vaccine are encouraged to check with their physician's office or county health department.
The state Health Department reports 890 Oklahomans have been hospitalized since Sept. 1 due to flu complications and 27 have died.
The story is quite different in Texas, where the state health department says the vaccine continues to arrive in lower-than-projected quantities due to manufacturing delays. State health officials advise Texans with questions about the flu or the vaccine to simply call 2-1-1.

Tea Party Takes Aim at Conservatives' Nemesis — Sen. McCain
Since losing the presidential election in 2008, Senator John McCain has labored long and hard to undermine conservatives. Now the tables are turning, and the Tea Party is after McCain's Senate seat. McCain is all for amnesty, the radical homosexual centerpiece ENDA, destructive embryonic stem cell research, and his bad temper indicates he needs to be fired by the voters. We have previously stated that Congressman David Schweikert is well suited to take McCain's seat, and now a Washington Times story suggests the same:
Sen. John McCain, 78, is starting to make moves that he's interested in a sixth term — but tea party types are saying not so fast, that if he runs he can expect some stiff competition from the limited government crowd.
"I'm leaning toward it," Mr. McCain said, when asked about his thoughts for a re-election, The Hill reported. That's a notable switch from a month ago when he told The Wrap that he wasn't sure about another Senate term — that he didn't "want to be one of these old guys that should've shoved off."
Nowadays, the Arizona senator says he's "doing all the things necessary" for another political campaign, including raising money, attending meetings and "talking to a lot of people in the state," The Hill reported.
But the tea party is mobilizing.
Rep. David Schweikert, backed by the tea party crowd, said he's mulling a run against Mr. McCain. And a couple of different polls — one from the Citizens United Political Victory Fund and another from Public Policy Polling — taken in recent months show a less-than-satisfactory rating for Mr. McCain among Republican voters.
"Speaking for myself and every other Republican I know and every other tea party person I know, we're sick to death of him and we will move," Wes Harris, founder of the Original North Phoenix Tea Party, said in The Hill.
McCain Posed with Questionable Company
By Matthew Boyle, Breitbart
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and his aides swear the Syrian "rebels" he was pictured last year with weren't ISIS members or supporters, and the mainstream media is by and large buying the 2008 GOP presidential nominee's story.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has endured brutal criticism—media fact checkers, reporters, and political figures have shredded him—for questioning just who McCain posed with.
But a closer look at the situation tells perhaps a different story than McCain's office or the mainstream media have pushed.
The criticism of McCain centers around how the Arizona senator met with Syrian rebel leaders in May 2013 when he visited the country. McCain posed for photographs with those people, and since then rumors have sprouted up across the Internet that he met with ISIS or some other terrorist kidnappers or nefarious forces.
"The people in the pictures with Senator McCain in Syria included General Salim Idris, then-Chief of Staff of the Supreme Military Command of the Free Syrian Army (FSA), Mouaz Moustafa, the Executive Director of the DC-based Syrian Emergency Task Force (which supports the moderate opposition and helped arrange some of the trip), and fighters and commanders from the Northern Storm Brigade, a FSA-aligned group," McCain's spokesman Brian Rogers told Breitbart News.
Rogers said that the senator and his team aren't naming the "fighters and commanders from the Northern Storm Brigade, a FSA-aligned group," because "ISIS actually threatened to kill them all, and we don't want to put their lives at risk." Rogers provided Breitbart News with a link to the ISIS threat to those fighters.
"ISIS targeted the Northern Storm because ISIS considers them apostates and because Northern Storm met with Sen. McCain," Rogers said. "ISIS actually wrote out a statement that accused Northern Storm of treachery for reasons including: 'Meeting with U.S. Senator John McCain in the hangar and making a contract with him against the Islamists.' The statement goes on to demand that Northern Storm surrender and repent to ISIS or be killed."
"ISIS actually killed many Northern Storm members, and we're not going to put them at any further risk by naming them," Rogers added.
But there's just one problem with McCain's office's story. Now, McCain's team says the senator didn't meet with any bad figures but declines to name them, for what seems to be a legitimate reason—although those who are publicly leading combat against ISIS and against Bashar Al-Assad's regime are probably publicly known figures there.
Just last year, however, McCain's office had no clue who the senator met. When allegations surfaced that the senator may have met with terrorists who kidnapped someone, Rogers—McCain's communications director—went on the record to multiple media outlets to say he didn't know who he was meeting with, and if he did meet with kidnapper terrorists, that would be regrettable.
"None of the individuals the senator planned to meet with was named Mohamad Nour or Abu Ibrahim," Rogers told CNN in late May 2013, right after the trip. "A number of other Syrian commanders joined the meeting, but none of them identified himself as Mohamad Nour or Abu Ibrahim."
Rogers added later in his statement to CNN that he and the senator did not know who he was meeting with.
"A number of the Syrians who greeted Senator McCain upon his arrival in Syria asked to take pictures with him, and, as always, the senator complied," Rogers said. "If the individual photographed with Senator McCain is in fact Mohamed Nour, that is regrettable. But it would be ludicrous to suggest that the Senator in any way condones the kidnapping of Lebanese Shia pilgrims or has any communication with those responsible. Senator McCain condemns such heinous actions in the strongest possible terms."
Of course it's ludicrous to suggest that McCain would condone the act of kidnapping, and nobody serious is suggesting that. The point many critics of McCain's policies—including Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)—are making is that Americans have no way of knowing which team any one of these figures is on.
"Here's the problem," Paul said in an interview with The Daily Beast this week. "He [McCain] did meet with ISIS, and had his picture taken, and didn't know it was happening at the time. That really shows you the quandary of determining who are the moderates and who aren't. If you don't speak Arabic, and you don't understand that some people will lie to you—I really think that we don't have a good handle on who are the moderates and who aren't, and I think the objective evidence is that the ones doing most of the fighting and most of the battles among the rebels in Syria are the radical Islamists."
Paul has been roundly criticized for the remarks, starting with the publication he made them to. The Daily Beast's Olivia Nuzzi wrote that Paul's statement means he "repeated a thoroughly debunked rumor." The Washington Post's fact-checker Glenn Kessler gave Paul "Four Pinocchios," its highest rating of dishonesty, for the statement. Kessler wrote that this story is one where he regrets "we are limited to just Four Pinocchios," because there is "zero evidence that any of the men that McCain met with in Syria are linked to the Islamic State."
Despite this pile-on by the media and political establishment, Paul has a serious point here, though. McCain really didn't know who he was meeting with, and even if they were the supposedly "moderate" Free Syrian Army, who's to know that they aren't elements of the Free Syrian Army working alongside ISIS?
Patrick Poole, an esteemed national security reporter and expert on radical Islam for PJ Media, has reported that the Free Syrian Army's commanders have admitted in public to working alongside ISIS. "As President Obama laid out his 'strategy' last night for dealing with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and as bipartisan leadership in Congress pushes to approve as much as $4 billion to arm Syrian 'rebels,' it should be noted that the keystone to his anti-Assad policy — the 'vetted moderate' Free Syrian Army (FSA) — is now admitting that they, too, are working with the Islamic State," Poole wrote on Sept. 10.
Poole cites the Lebanese newspaper Daily Star, which quotes a Free Syrian Army brigade commander as saying he is working with the "Islamic State and Jabhat al-Nusra, al-Qaeda's official Syrian affiliate — both U.S.-designated terrorist organizations."
Specifically, the quotes Poole pulls are:
"We are collaborating with the Islamic State and the Nusra Front by attacking the Syrian Army's gatherings in… Qalamoun," said Bassel Idriss, the commander of an FSA-aligned rebel brigade.
"We have reached a point where we have to collaborate with anyone against unfairness and injustice," confirmed Abu Khaled, another FSA commander who lives in Arsal.
"Let's face it: The Nusra Front is the biggest power present right now in Qalamoun and we as FSA would collaborate on any mission they launch as long as it coincides with our values," he added.
In a lengthy floor speech on Thursday, Paul ripped the foreign policy establishment in Washington for assuming that FSA and ISIS are really distinct entities.
"According to a New York Times report, over a year ago, the CIA began training Syrian rebels in nearby Jordan, thousands of them, along with delivering arms and ammunition," Paul said, according to a transcript of the speech provided to Breitbart News by his office. "New York Times reports also detailed the huge arms and financial transfers from Quatar to the Syrian rebels, beginning as early as 2011. No one really knows where that all ended up: Jane's Terrorism Center noted, the transfer of Quatari arms to targeted groups has the same practical effect as shipping them to Al Nusra, a violent jihadist force. The New York Times further detailed that Sudan has provided anti-tank missiles and other arms."
Shortly after those comments, Paul said that America can't be sure—since supposedly "vetted moderates" are working alongside ISIS—who any of them are. He added that even if some might be loyal now, they could change their allegiances in a heartbeat—saying that some officials estimate that more than half of FSA forces have defected to ISIS.
"So the idea that these rebels haven't been armed before is ludicrous on it's face. It is also ludicrous to believe that we know where all of the money, arms and ammunition will end up, or who will end up benefiting from these shipments. Why? Because we don't know for sure who the groups all are," Paul said. "Even when we think we do, loyalties shift and groups become amorphous, with alleged moderates lining up with jihadists. And finally, moderate groups have often sold their weapons or had them seized by the jihadist elements led by ISIS."
McCain's office, however, fiercely defends the notion that FSA is not working alongside ISIS.
"Also, these reports of some kind of 'truce' between the FSA and ISIS have also been debunked," Rogers, McCain's spokesman, told Breitbart News—citing a piece from the Daily Beast to back up his claims. "While there have been brief cease-fires between the groups to collect bodies of those killed during fighting, as this Josh Rogin article makes clear, there's no 'truce' between FSA and ISIS."
And maybe there is no formal "truce" between FSA and ISIS, but the reports of mass defections and quotes from FSA leaders and brigade commanders on record saying they are working with ISIS makes this much more complicated than the clear cut-and-dry issue the mainstream media have made it so as to rip Paul. When McCain's office won't name who exactly he met with, who exactly he's photographed with—after last year admitting in public they didn't know who he greeted in Syria—are we supposed to just take his word for it that some of those FSA leaders aren't now working with ISIS—or maybe have outright joined ISIS, like that other FSA commander Poole and the Daily Star quote?
Sen. McCain Racks up Yet ANOTHER GOP Censure!
By Matthew Boyle, Breitbart
The Maricopa County Republican Party in Arizona formally censured Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) Saturday evening by an overwhelming 1150-351 vote, Breitbart News has learned.
Maricopa County is Arizona's most populous county and includes Phoenix within its borders. The official GOP body's rebuke undermines McCain's reelection chances should he
decide to run for the Senate again in 2016.
"As leaders in the Republican Party, we are obligated to fully support our Party, platform, and its candidates," the formal censure resolution reads. "Only in times of great crisis or betrayal is it necessary to publicly censure our leaders. Today we are faced with both. For too long we have waited, hoping Senator McCain would return to our Party's values on his own. That has not happened."
The resolution continues by stating, with "sadness and humility," the Republicans in the county "rise and declare" that McCain "has amassed a long and terrible record of drafting, co- sponsoring and voting for legislation best associated with liberal Democrats, such as Amnesty, funding for ObamaCare, the debt ceiling, assaults on the Constitution and 2nd Amendment, and has continued to support liberal nominees."
That voting record from McCain, they say, "has been disastrous and harmful to Arizona and the United States."
McCain was elected, the Republicans say in the censure resolution, by campaigning "as a conservative" and making promises during his various reelection campaigns "such as the needed and welcomed promise to secure our borders and finish the border fence, only to quickly flip-flop on those promises."
The Republicans say that McCain "has abandoned our core values and has been eerily silent against Liberals, yet publicly reprimands Conservatives in his own Party." Therefore, the Maricopa County GOP leadership "censures Senator McCain for his continued disservice to our State and Nation."
The censure states that formally, "until he consistently champions our Party's Platform and values, we, the Republican leadership in Arizona will no longer support, campaign for or endorse John McCain as our U.S. Senator."
Maricopa County joins Apache County and Mohave County in voting to formally censure McCain via similar resolutions. There are 15 counties total in Arizona, which means that at this
point, 20 percent of Arizona's county GOP bodies have officially censured McCain—three years out from his potential reelection campaign for the U.S. Senate in 2016.
McCain has not made a final decision yet on whether or not he will run for re-election.
We Must Fight and Win the Civil War within the GOP
Can the Republican Party continue to allow non-conservative people to lead the party without sacrificing the principles that make it the Republican Party? And as noted conservative commentator Bill Whittle has pointed out, can the GOP win major elections when Republican candidates are not willing to boldly articulate party positions on crucial issues?
The repercussions of allowing Republicans In Name Only – including John McCain, Mitt Romney, Karl Rove, and many individuals at the grassroots level – to lead are taking a toll on the GOP. And creating a ripple effect evidenced here in Maricopa County once again this week. Here's how it happened.
Former state lawmaker Russell Pearce, a solid conservative dedicated to the Republican Party's published platform, submitted some resolutions to the legislative committee in Senator McCain's home district (Legislative District 28). In recent years, McCain had gone to extraordinary lengths and spared no expense in wresting control of this district's GOP leadership committee away from party base conservatives. The current chairman of LD28 is Scott O'Connor – a self described RINO and the son of now retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. Scott O'Connor is a McCain man who, by his own actions, is not interested in the Republican Party platform or the democratic process. And he called a special meeting in LD28 to supposedly address Pearce's proposed resolutions.
At that meeting, Scott O'Connor introduced the motions in a mocking manner. He also clashed with former LD28 chairman Rob Haney, a conservative who also previously chaired the Maricopa County Republican leadership committee, over the issue of prayer. Evidently a vocal minority of non-Christians had played the offended party card and O'Connor did the typical ACLU-type kneejerk reaction of disallowing meaningful prayer. Following the meeting, O'Connor contacted Haney by email and roundly criticized his behavior. Here's that email message:
Rob,I appreciate your right to disagree, and I gave you plenty of opportunities to do so last night.However, your tendency to interrupt and play games with the chair and the agenda is a pattern that must end. If you do it again, you will be removed.Adding vocal God Bless and Amens during a moment of silence clearly vocalized your opposition to the suspension of formal prayer at the meeting, but not in a respectful way or time. Do it again and you will be removed.Personally, I don't really care if we have the prayers or not, but the executive committee and I are respecting the wishes of those who are offended by the practice.I will respect you when start showing some respect. If you want to change a policy, request it formally and it will be considered, but do not disrupt the meeting again with your antics. Maybe you should attend the classes at the Center for Self Governance on how to be more effective in your engagement with political officials.Sincerely,
Then Haney penned a response and went public with it:
Dear Scott,
I am taking the liberty of publishing our exchange of emails in an open forum because I view removal of the Invocation from our LD 28 meetings at the sole discretion of the executive board as a continuance of the attack on religion in our country. Other districts need to be made aware of how easily they can lose the rights they took for granted through the actions of a few anonymous complaints brought to a receptive executive board. To have a universally accepted, decades long practice within the Republican Party ended by fiat of the executive board without even debate or a vote of the body, is the height of arrogance and is reminiscent of Obama's executive orders.
I would suggest to other LDs that they take preventative action possibly through a bylaw addition which states that the Invocation and Pledge cannot be remove from the opening proceedings of a district meeting without a vote of the LD precinct committeemen.
And, although it should not be necessary to tell you in advance of a motion to be offered in the next meeting to rescind the executive board's edict to do away with the invocation, please add that motion to your agenda.
Now to your other points:
1) I find it disingenuous that after the meeting you took the time to compliment me on adding to the debate but now you are critical of my doing so.
2) You state that I have a tendency to interrupt and play games with the chair and the agenda and if I do so again, I will be removed. Responsible citizenship requires objections to unilateral dictates. Also, when you began the meeting with an uncalled for ad hominem attack on Russell Pearce, I felt it necessary to call you on it since you had called this unscheduled meeting to discuss the resolutions, not to attack the sponsors of the resolutions. This action was uncalled for and unprofessional. Inyour call letter you stated that we were going to discuss "no less than 11 resolutions put forth by Russell Pearce." That statement alone was denigrating and you proceeded to expound upon it at the meeting. To those of us who admire and respect Russell Pearce for his long record of unselfish service to our state and country, the attack was a "red flag," warranting immediate rebuttal.
3) You state that you do not care if we have the prayer or not but you and the executive committee were respecting the wishes of those who were offended by the practice. You appear to have been biased in favor of removal to begin with or you would have brought the matter before the body of PCs for pen discussion and a vote. My guess is that you have offended far more by removing the Invocation without a discussion than were offended by its inclusion.
4) The Preamble to the Republican Platform ends with the sentence, "May God continue to shed his grace on the United States of America." Do you and the executive committee of LD 28 now place yourselves above the Republican Platform?
5) Your last attack paragraph is too immature to warrant a response.
Rob Haney
What are we to conclude from the latest flare-up in this civil war within the Republican Party?
1) It will be harder and harder for Republicans to win crucial elections as long as this conflict continues. A house divided cannot stand. Nor can the party effectively compete against Democrats while it is occupied on another front against renegades in its own party.
2) Sooner or later, the GOP must honor its own written purpose statements articulated in the party platform. The GOP should take a lesson from the Constitution Party, which does not allow candidates for public office to represent it if they do not support the party platform.
3) Those who do not believe in the platform have no right to represent the organization. Party-base Republicans need to recognize them and defeat them. Conservatives need to recapture districts like LD28 and work for the nomination of true Republicans at every level, from city council to president.
4) There can be no compromise between people with diametrically opposed beliefs – especially on the social issues.
5) Party base conservatives must do a better job of articulating party platform principles and helping voters draw distinctions between candidates supporting Republican principles and those who are merely "Democrat lite" candidates. Expose those who are distorting the truth, i.e, nationally syndicated radio host Hugh Hewitt, who on nationally-syndicated radio program Thursday referred to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie as "a good conservative." Christie is not a conservative by any stretch of the imagination. Neither are McCain, Senator Jeff Flake, or Arizona Senator Michele Reagan, among others.
Party-base conservatives must make better use of the GOP platform and champion it. The platform is the stated, published list of core beliefs of the GOP. While it collects dust, as an after-thought, conservatives and RINOs merely debate some of the same issues that divide Republicans and Democrats. RINOs should not be able to get away with attempts to legitimize Democrat talking points, not on abortion, not on marriage, not on ENDA, not on raising debt ceilings, or the size and reach of government. Rob Haney has dedicated his life to the principles of the party, principles which will lead to life, prosperity and real progress. We must all do the same.
Send the link for the GOP platform to the RINOs in your area today.
McCain-Flake: Big Government, Freedom-Stealing Progressives
Senator John McCain — a footsoldier in the Reagan Revolution? LOL! Joke of the century! If it was Reagan, it wasn't President Ronald Reagan, late leader of the party of freedom. McCain's a purebred freedom-robbing Progressive.
And Senator Jeff Flake — limited-government Libertarian? LOL! A self-described conservative reformer? Get outa town! ROFL!
These two imposters joined with 62 other Progressives in the Senate in an attempt to force businesses and ministries to hire cross dressers and drag queens. They voted for the homosexual dream bill, ENDA, Thursday. It's the Employment Non-Discrimination Act — which will force employers and churches under threat of huge federal fines to hire people who perceive their gender isn't the one they were born with. Try to dismiss one of them from your employ and you'll have the full weight of the U.S. government on your back.
Flake pulled a bait-and-switch. He voted against ENDA on a procedural vote Monday, then turned coat and voted for it Thursday. The radical progressive bill passed the Senate 64-32.
But as we pointed out earlier in the week, House Speaker John Boehner will dropkick this horrible, freedom-stealing bill to the moon where it belongs. It won't see the light of day in the House.
And as for the false self-portrayals of McCain and his shadow, Flake, they can tell it to the moon as well. They are not part of the solution in Washington. They are poster boys for all the problems in Washington, and our state delegation in the U.S. Senate is a lost cause. Let freedom ring. Let our elected officials fight Obama, Reid, and Pelosi, et al, not agree with them on hideous, radical extreme homeland make-overs.

Create your own scarecrow for Emlen Physick Estate's 'Scarecrow Alley'
Written by Staff Reports Tuesday, September 11, 2012 06:45 pm

|Next >
CAPE MAY - Create your own scarecrow for display alongside dozens of others along "Scarecrow Alley," when the grounds of the Emlen Physick Estate, 1048 Washington St., are transformed for Halloween and become the setting for goofy goblins and spooky specters, from Friday, Oct. 5 through Sunday, Nov. 4.
The Fourth Annual Scarecrow Contest sponsored by the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts & Humanities (MAC) is underway, and it's time to rally friends, family, schoolmates and colleagues, or come up with your own idea, for creating a spooky, scary or just plain silly scarecrow. Register your entry and compete for prizes, with an overall prize of $200 earmarked for the People's Choice Award given to the creators of the scarecrow that receives the most votes from visitors to the Estate.
Scarecrows are entered in one of four categories: "Individuals or Families," "Businesses," "Non-profits, Church, Club, Scout Troops" or "School Class." MAC will have wooden cross stakes and straw available for all registrants, if needed, which can be picked up on the Estate from maintenance staff between Monday, Sept. 24 and Thursday, Oct. 4. All entrants receive a four-by-four foot area to decorate, and larger spaces are available upon request. Multiple scarecrows, whimsical characters and miscellaneous props may be displayed. Scarecrows may reflect a special theme or promote your organization or business.
Visitors to the Physick Estate will be asked to vote for their favorite scarecrow by filling out a ballot in the Carriage House from Friday, Oct. 5 through Sunday, Nov. 4. Friends and family members are encouraged to visit the Estate and vote for their favorites.
The deadline to register and drop off a scarecrow for entry in the contest is Thursday, Oct. 4, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Winners will be notified Nov. 5.
Prizes include a People's Choice Award of $200 for the scarecrow with the most votes, $100 in the individual/family category, a display ad on MAC's website in the business category, and a pizza party for the winning non-profit, community or scout group, and the winning school group.
Here are some tips and guidelines for making your scarecrow:
Scarecrows must be constructed to withstand severe wind and rainy weather conditions.
Use care in choosing your materials. All decorations must be firmly attached to your scarecrow/display.
Use staple guns, fishing line or string to secure your scarecrow.
Don't use newspaper to stuff your scarecrow.
Scarecrows must be in good taste; scarecrows or displays reflecting controversial, social, religious or political opinions or statements will not be accepted.

The Hobby Lobby ruling will be a blessing in disguise for Democrats, possibly this November but most certainly for 2016. That's the argument put forward by two MSNBC contributors on Hardball this evening, Washington Post columnist Melinda Henneberger and Michelle Bernard of the Bernard Center for Women, Politics, & Public Policy.
"I see this ruling as, definitely on the political front, being a good thing for the Democrats, because people are furious and thinking, I think it goes further than it does," Henneberger argued to guest host Steve Kornacki. Minutes later, Bernard saw a big problem for Republicans with women in 2016, if not 2014, insisting that Mitt Romney's "binders full of women" line and "corporate personhood" would be instrumental in locking down droves of female voters for Democrats in 2016:
