In May 2010, the voices of individuals concerned about the welfare of Minnesota companion animals were heard and helped legislators to amend the Minnesota's Domestic Abuse Act.
The act now includes language that allows the court in an emergency or non-emergency order for protection to "direct the care, possession, or control of a pet or companion animal owned, possessed, or kept" by a family member or order the abusing party to refrain from physically abusing or injuring the pet or companion animal "as an indirect means of intentionally threatening the safety of such person."
Every day in counties across Minnesota, animals become victims of domestic abuse. In domestic violence situations, abusing pets is a damaging and terrifying way for a batterer to control, intimidate, and hurt other members of the family. In the past, many survivors of domestic abuse did not seek safety for themselves if it meant leaving their pets in danger. Now, the Minnesota Domestic Abuse Act:

US Unemployment Aid Applications Surge to 368,000
Economy Adds 162,000 Jobs in July, Unemployment Rate Dips to 7.4%
The Labor Department's monthly jobs survey had some mixed results for July. The economy added 162,000 new jobs, a bit below expectations, and the unemployment rate ticked down slightly, from 7.6 percent to 7.4.
Economy Adds 175,000 Jobs, Unemployment Rate Rises Slightly to 7.6%
Job growth in May beat economists' expectations, coming in at 175,000 new positions added, which aligns closely with the yearly average. The unemployment rate rose ever so slightly, from 7.5 percent to 7.6 percent, a result of more people entering the work force, according to the Labor Department.
Solid April Jobs Report Shows Dropping Unemployment Rate, Business Expansion
The economy added 165,000 jobs in April, bringing the overall unemployment rate down a tick to 7.5 percent. The monthly report from the Labor Department also included upward revisions to the last two reports, helping to ease fears of a slowdown.
What States Have the Highest Unemployment Rates?
It's not easy being unemployed or under-employed, but you are definitely not alone. Even with a highly positive new jobs report just out and the country apparently on an upswing, an unemployment rate of 7.7 percent means a lot of people still need jobs.
But that doesn't mean the situation is hopeless for anyone. If you're spent on looking for available jobs in your current locale because it seems like the well has dried, you could be right. Some states have higher unemployment rates than others, and you could be stuck living somewhere that's not helping you. It might be time to relocate.
What States Have the Lowest Unemployment Rates?
If you've been struggling to find a new job, get that first job out of college or get back to work, perhaps it's a change of location you need. The unemployment rate is not equal across the states, and for all the tough economic news of the past several years, things aren't all that bad in certain places.
Economy Adds 236,000 Jobs; Unemployment Rate Drops to 7.7%
The labor market—and the economy overall—is improving, albeit gradually, with employers adding 236,000 jobs in February. That gain brought the unemployment rate down a few ticks from 7.9 percent to 7.7, its lowest point in four years.
Economy Adds 155,000 Jobs in December, Unemployment Rate Stays Even
The American economy created 155,000 new jobs in December, according to the latest report from the Labor Department. The unemployment rate is 7.8 percent, the same as November.
Seasonal Work Is Hard to Fill Regardless of Unemployment Rate
There was a time when a person would do just about anything in order to make ends meet. However, even with the unemployment rate dangling somewhere around 8 percent, many companies claim that they cannot find enough help to staff their operations.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - Afghanistan's election commission announced on Thursday that the country's presidential election is going into second round, with the two top vote candidates to face off on June 14.
The race will likely be tight between the two contenders, former Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah and ex-Finance Minister Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai.
The second round will coincide with the height of the Taliban spring offensive that was launched earlier this week. The insurgency has renewed its campaign of attacks on the Afghan police and military - increasing fears over security when voters head to the polls.
The Taliban have pledged to disrupt the vote with bombings and other attacks, although the first round on April 5 was relatively free of violence.
Abdullah garnered 45 percent of votes in the first round while Ahmadzai came in second with 31.6 percent, Independent Election Commission Chairman Ahmad Yousuf Nouristan said.
The final results announced by Nouristan were almost exactly the same as the preliminary results released late last month. The runoff will take place June 14, Nouristan said.
Earlier this week, Abdullah picked up a potential election-tipping endorsement in Zalmai Rassoul, an ex-foreign minister who took 11.5 percent in the first round.
But it's unclear whether Rassoul can deliver the votes of his supporters, who are largely Pashtuns, the country's largest ethnic group.
International attention is also focused on whether the new president will sign a deal already negotiated by outgoing President Hamid Karzai to allow some U.S. forces to stay in Afghanistan after the end of the year.

Jake Dunne is the morning and noon meteorologist for WLNS TV in Lansing, MI. Before moving to Michigan in late 2005, Jake was the Chief Meteorologist for KTWO in Casper, Wyo. Jake was born in Kansas and spent the better part of 20 years there, but between now and then he has called several different areas of the country home.
Jake graduated from Mississippi State with a degree in Atmospheric Science. He began his TV career in Wichita, Kans (his home town) at the CBS affiliate where he worked as a forecaster and weather producer. From there, Jake moved to Myrtle Beach, SC and took a position at WBTW as Weekend Meteorologist. Before calling Lansing home, Jake also made stops in Colorado and Iowa where he worked as a Morning Meteorologist for KCAU. In January of 2003, Jake was awarded the AMS Seal of Approval for his outstanding weather presentations.
Jake took a minor detour from the world of television weather for about a year. He decided to put his skis and his literary talent to the test when he accepted a position at Winter Park Ski Resort in Colorado. While at the resort, Jake gave guided tours of the mountain to visiting media and wrote numerous press releases and articles pertaining to Winter Park. Jake's love for writing didn't stop there as he has two published novels: Johnstone Junction, released in 2008, and Stand By, released in early 2012.
Jake spends his free time outdoors. Whether it's golf, snow skiing, or a trip to the lake, Jake loves being outside. You may also see Jake on some of the local trails or paths, either running or on a bike. Jake is a former 1st class certified personal fitness trainer and can be found in the gym on most days.
His true love isn't weather, writing or skiing though, that honor goes to his son, Brady, and his daughter, Addison. Jake and his wife Holly reside in mid-Michigan along with their rescue dog Gibson.

Private Strong Original Art
Periodically, I call out a piece of original comic art here on the blog. Frequently, it's because I think there's something interesting to discern about the artist's choices. This time, though, I just want to say "Holy cow! It's an original pre-FF Simon & Kirby original page up for sale!" Possibly followed shortly by, "How come, as of this writing, the current high bid is less than $1000?!?"

A while back, we happened to come across what allegedly are white iPod touch 5 leaked pictures. The next generation iPod touch, in white, is shown in pictures whose legitimacy is obviously under question. Nevertheless, these leaked white iPod touch 5 pictures have many stories to tell.
Originally reported by 9to5mac, this particular component is a digitizer component. There's just one catch though. This white iPod touch 5 part is similar to the digitizer component on the current fourth generation iPod touch, which gives rise to two logical assumptions. Either this part belongs to a scrapped white iPod touch 4 model that never hit production or the next generation iPod touch will just be a minor update with no major design changes, and then there's the obvious assumption that these pictures might not be authentic at all.
Concord Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who has a good track record when it comes to revealing information about upcoming Apple products has also claimed that the people over at Cupertino are planning to release a white iPod touch later this year whereas production is expected to start in the end of August. Also, in iOS 5 SDK, references have been found of iPod4,2 which hint at a possible revision to Apple's blockbuster portable music player. By revision, it is implied that the white iPod touch 5 might be a slight update with no radical changes in design. A change in colour, the A5 dual-core processor and better cameras are all we can hope to get in the next generation iPod touch. A white iPod touch is definitely going to be a welcome addition to the family of both the white iPhone 4 and white iPad 2.
On the other hand, a previous rumor claims that Apple plans to release a 3G capable iPod touch in September. These are conflicting reports actually, as some claim that Apple has pushed back the September launch of the new iPod line up to release iPhone 5. Apple probably knows best what's about to happen, come September 2011.
Even if this leaked white iPod touch 5 picture is authentic, it doesn't show a redesign. Now we've seen that the iPod touch is similar in design to the iPhone and if a next generation iPhone is going to be radically redesigned, how come the next generation iPod touch is going to retain the same design as the iPod touch 4G and would only be released in a new colour, with a faster processor and better cameras? Maybe we won't see a redesigned iPhone after all, maybe its just going to be a minor update as shown in these leaked iPhone 4GS pictures. It seems only logical to ponder upon this question.
It is not yet known what products will Apple be releasing in September. However, the month isn't that far off and within the next forty-five days it shall be a whole lot clearer as to what Apple plans on launching. Who places their bets on a white iPod touch 5 and iPhone 5 launching together? Drop a comment below!

The Drug Policy Alliance has a good little video, focusing on a young man who got two years in prison for selling one joint's worth of marijuana to an undercover cop.
Aside from the evil of the drug law, and the evil of entrapment, I always wondered about the hypocrisy here. Surely, if selling, buying or possessing drugs were an actual criminal act, akin to theft or murder, it would be wrong for an undercover cop to engage in it, right? When I was in elementary school, the police came to teach kids the wickedness of drugs, bringing with them a big display of every illicit drug imaginable. Marijuana, cocaine, heroin, speed — they had it all. And I wondered, If having a drug is a crime, why aren't the police criminals? They don't usually shoot someone in the head in front of school kids to demonstate what murder is. Why can they possess something if merely possessing it is a crime?
And when you make such a non-violent activity a crime, it's not long before you start shoving peaceful people in cages for two years, at a cost of $100,000 or so to taxpayers. I really believe that one day, people will look back at the war on drugs with the same contempt and disgust with which they look back at slavery, the witch trials, and the Inquisition. At least, I hope they do.
One bit of hope — some law enforcement officials are seeing the total disaster of the drug war. See this video of LEAP (Law Enforcement Against Prohibition).

Hart of Dixie Review: Two Hunks, One Lemonby Kate Brooks at . Updated at . Comments
After a long hiatus, Hart of Dixie is back... and on a new night!
In related news, Lemon Breeland FINALLY returned after her extended break as well. Even Magnolia Breeeland made a brief return.
On Hart of Dixie Season 3 Episode 14, Zoe tries to impress her mom while Lemon juggled two overly attractive men.
We can all rejoice now that Lemon has returned from her very noticeable absence. Just as it should have been, she made quite the dramatic entrance, not missing a beat. Her appearance here was perfect and incredibly enjoyable.
While Lemon was gone, she not only endured what I took to be torture taking care of her grandma, but she also hooked two hotties! Carter (AKA Captain Awesome on Chuck), and sexy Latin poet Enrique. Since Lemon is now evolved, as she states, she had managed to keep two lovers without the other finding out.
As Hart of Dixie tradition goes, her lies were exposed. Luckily for Lemon, it didn't come out publicly, thanks to Lavon for pulling the fire alarm. Unfortunately, Grandma Breeland, acting so disgusting entitled, won't help Lemon reach her dreams.
Does anyone else feel the complete disdain towards grandma Betty that I do? She's terrible.
Regardless, Lemon is finally back. That's what matters. Bluebell can now function as normal. THANK YOU, WRITERS! (Sidenote: Congratulations again to Jaime King on the birth of her new son)
Elsewhere, Zoe was working really hard to keep her mom in her life and impress her. As it continued, I seemed to care less and less. Zoe Hart is becoming the most uninteresting character in Bluebell. She's not only predictable, she is almost too much to handle.
The writers need to give Zoe something new to deal with; not Wade, her family or the practice. It's all "been there, done that" at this point.
The most predictable part was when she let her mom take control and bring in reporters to get Zoe her practice back. We all knew that she wouldn't go through with it; Zoe loves Brick and vise versa. Trying to put Zoe against him is an unwelcome throw back from Hart of Dixie Season 1.
Overall, this episode was a pretty decent hour. It was funny and heartfelt. I think I am really bias, though, because Lemon is now back and in full force. The show was missing a key component without her.
As most of you may know, Hart of Dixie is in the brink of being canceled after three wonderful seasons on The CW.
As a former Chuck, fan I know what it's like to be a fan of a show that's facing cancelling so trust me when I say... there's always hope. The best advice I can give it to watch Hart of Dixie Season 3 live. Also: live tweet, re-tweet, blog on Tumblr, post on Facebook. Anything helps.
Spread the word of Hart of Dixie, the residents of Bluebell need us to watch live to keep them around. We have to fight for our show that has made us laugh, cry and - above all - feel happy. Dixie is worth saving, so do your part as a fan and a viewer.
Who do you think Lemon should pick?
As someone who has struggled to live up to and get the attention of a high powered parent, I found Zoe's struggle to be very relatable. I have done stupid stuff to get my father's attention. Great man's son syndrome is the term (or great man's daughter syndrome in my case). By the way, I love Joel. I'm not a Zorge or Zade shipper anymore. Zoe needs someone like him for all the crazy in her life. Lemon is back! Enrique is sexy, a poet and singer (though what we did hear of his poetry was meh), but I'm rooting for Captain Awesome. I miss Chuck.
Umm... I'm going to write something very honest but it's my personal opinion of the show. I love light-hearted TV shows. They're a nice mix in the week. Hart of Dixie was never completely one of them. It was only moderately so and it worked because it didn't try to be too light-hearted. If it had some funny dialogue or a moment where you burst out laughing it was genuine because it worked with the overall story of the show. These days, the story of the show is to be light-hearted. It appears to be the sole purpose of the show so the comedy is lacking a bit. The authenticity of the show is lacking a bit. Instead of... yeah, that's a nice, relaxing and interesting show to watch - it just leaves me feeling... bored. I still watch this show because it was season one that made me fall in love with it. Zoe was an interesting character in a unique situation. Wade was a unique character. The story of the show had a purpose... we were tuning to see the story unfold and each episode led to that. Now, I don't really enjoy the show anywhere near as much as I did. And I noticed the character Meatball say something like "the Internet was wrong again" and couldn't help but think it was those in charge of the show who do see the opinions on the Internet... just wanting to say "we don't care for your opinion". :/
hope to see more of zoe and wade and more lemon and lavon this two much get back together wanna to see more of there feeling for each-other there are meant she love he and he love her more then AB wanna to see a wedding on season 4 lavon and lemon wedding george have his chance to marry lemon is now lavon turn to have her there are meant to be TEAM/LAV''MON .
AAAAAH! YES! Lemon is back! *Fist pumps*. My apologies had to get that out of my system. Now on with my comments. I was happy so to have HoD back, and to have not one but both of the Breeland sisters back. It was good to have Magnolia back. She is wild as ever. LOL. I like what she gives the show. I enjoy her. I miss her. I wish the writers would get her back on. (As well as Rose. Fix this HoD writers). Lemon. Well what can I say? She came back with a BANG. Well done writers, well done. Watching her story last evening was great. It was predictable, but oh so much fun to watch as it unraveled before our eyes. I laughed and laughed. Thank you writers for that. Zoe. SMH two times. I am tired of her. I never ever thought I would say that about Zoe Hart. It breaks my HoD loving heart. What have they done to her? I think the better question is what are they going to do to fix her? I like Joel. I like him very much, just not with Zoe. Enough said. Before I forget and end this, I must say I loved Wade coming to Lemon's rescue. They have great relationship. Let's hope the writer's don't find a way to make it otherwise.

Gov. Sam Brownback has indicated he will deliver a two-year budget plan to the Legislature next week. It's likely that means two one-year budget plans: one for fiscal year 2014 and another for fiscal year 2015.
A biennial budget has the potential advantage of allowing a deeper look into the future and, as a result, better long-term planning. For example, if school districts or state agencies know their approved budget two years in advance, they can make necessary adjustments to their programs earlier. However, that advantage diminishes considerably if the second year of the budget plan is based on an unrealistic or inaccurate revenue forecast that eventually requires the FY 2015 budget to be extensively redone.
In Kansas, consensus revenue estimators have produced an official revenue forecast for FY 2014, but not for FY 2015. So the revenue forecast in the second year of the governor's two-year plan will be a key thing to watch. How much revenue growth will the governor project for FY 2015? Does that FY 2015 estimate seem realistic?
The majority of states, including Kansas, currently produce annual budgets. Nineteen states budget on a "biennial" basis, but of those, only two — North Dakota and Wyoming — have a true two-year consolidated budget. All of the other biennial states enact two annual budgets at one time. Kansas has always been considered an annual budget state, although for many years the state has done biennial budgets for the 20 smallest state agencies.
For an excellent discussion of annual versus biennial budgeting, read the National Conference of State Legislatures report, State Experiences with Annual and Biennial Budgeting. A table from that report showing the budget status of each state is shown below.
—Duane Goossen, KHI's Vice President for Fiscal and Health Policy, served as state budget director for 12 years in the administrations of three governors — Republican Bill Graves and Democrats Kathleen Sebelius and Mark Parkinson. He also served in the Kansas House of Representatives from 1983 to 1997.

PUNXSUTAWNEY— Punxsutawney's junior varsity softball team used its powerful offensive attack to beat Curwensville 16-1 in four innings last Friday.
Seven Lady Chucks combined for 11 hits, and three batters had multiple hits.
Sarah London (three), Madison Neal (two) and Sydney Phillips (two) had more than one hit.
Savanna Hallman, Stephanie Smith, Sydney Weaver and Lauren Wolfe also had hits.
Two of London's three hits were doubles.
Punxsy coach Ken Covatch was pleased with Phillips effort.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — Once she settled in, Curwensville wasn't going to stop Punxsy senior Shawnna Crago Friday afternoon at Harry Noerr Field in Punxsutawney.
Crago allowed a run on two hits and two walks during the first inning before she controlled the Lady Golden Tide during the final six innings of the Punxsy softball team's 7-1 victory.
Crago also produced offensively for the Lady Chucks (6-0). She hit a two-run home run during Punxsy's three-run fifth inning that extended the team's lead to 6-1.
Punxsutawney native Devin Mesoraco returned to form and bumped his 2011 average back above .300 after he hit .421 this week.
Mesoraco, a 2007 first-round draft pick of the Cincinnati Reds, batted 8-for-19 during six games with the Class AAA Louisville Bats this week. He improved his average from .256 to .306 following the successful week.
Saturday, he started the week with a 1-for-3 game that included a double and two strikeouts. He followed that game up with his first of three multi-hit performances this week.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — The Clarion University softball team has received a much-needed offensive punch, as Punxsutawney Area High School's No. 3 and 4 hitters recently chose the Lady Eagles as the college they will attend next year.
Punxsy seniors Shawnna Crago and Taylor Powell have decided upon Clarion, and both will begin to compete for the Lady Eagles next spring.
Powell, who will major in business, was the first of the two girls to pick Clarion. She chose Clarion over Penn State-The Behrend College, and that choice came down to a number of factors.
ST. MARYS — The Punxsy boys' tennis team was unable to surmount St. Marys or the weather during the Dutch's 4-2 victory Wednesday at home over the Chucks.
Punxsy (3-4) lost three of five singles matches and dropped the No. 2 doubles match before rain put an end to the final three doubles matches.
St. Marys, the reigning District IX Class AA Team Champion, improved to 6-2 with the victory.
WINGATE — A pitchers' duel was ruined due to rain, as the Punxsy and Bald Eagle varsity softball teams were unable to complete a 1-1 game Tuesday afternoon.
With the contest tied at one through four innings, lightning paused the game before a downpour stopped the game. Punxsy manager Alan Pifer was unsure if the game will continue at a later date.
Punxsy senior Shawnna Crago pitched four innings and allowed one run on one hit with one walk and one strikeout. She also scored Punxsy's only run of the game.
1. Thursday is going to be a monumental day for 32 players and their families once they receive the call from an NFL representative to confirm that they are a first-round draft pick. Then, once they wake up Friday, a sad reality will set in that they aren't getting paid and won't be able to do what they were drafted to do — play football — indefinitely.
INDIANA — Punxsy's Alexis Young, Santana Smith, Karah Hollis took advantage of nice weather last Thursday at the Indiana Area girls' 9th and 10th grade track meet to win individual championships.
Young finished first in the 1,600-meter run (5:43), while Hollis earned wins in the 100-meter (13.0) and 200-meter dash (28.00) and Smith won the shot put (30-2).
Barry Young, head coach of the Lady Chucks, said this was a breakthrough performance for Hollis.

Barack Obama: "The Civil Rights Movement… coalitions of power by which you bring about redistribtutive change"
Click the following link listen to the complete recording.
Source: Chicago Public Radio – Odyssey Program audio library January 18, 2001
I know some my vocal Democratic friends will continue to spin any evidence of a 'radical' Obama as meaningless or disjointed segements, but actually in my view, the true picture of who Obama is and his agenda is finally beginning to appear through the haze spread by Obama, his surrogates and of course, the media.
I suppose at this point I could launch into paragraphs of conspiracy theory interspersed with historical fact, voting records and aliens — the space kind, but what's the point. National politics is a cesspool of extremists left, extremists right and elitist media, which is 90% wacko left.
Look at the media feeding frenzy over 'Joe the Plumber', a regular guy, like any one of us. What infurates me, as I said in an earlier post, is the media's political bias controls the throttle of coverage and investigation. It was true of Whitewater scandal, FBI Filegate, the Rose Law billling records and it is true now of Barrak Obama and his radical ties to extremists and terrorists Jeremiah (XXX Damn America) Wright {link}or William (Weather Underground) Ayers {link} respectively.
I haven't voted yet, I prefer to vote on election day. I have to wonder how angry people will be or will they even admit it to themselves, if the lid blows off the Obama kettle and we all discover the depth of his character or lack thereof. It won't be pretty.
Just like a shell game, evidentually the real Obama will be uncovered — radical, redistribtutive change or not.

One Solitary Life
All the armies that have ever marched
All the navies that have ever sailed
All the parliaments that have ever sat
All the kings that ever reigned put together
Have not affected the life of mankind on earth
As powerfully as that one solitary life
From One Solitary Life
I am an historian, I am not a believer, but I must confess as a historian that this penniless preacher from Nazareth is irrevocably the very center of history. Jesus Christ is easily the most dominant figure in all history.
H. G. Wells
One Response to One Solitary Life
A Nation in Decline is a Nation in Need
Can you imagine the thoughts and anticipation in the hearts of those first pilgrims as they began their voyage across the Atlantic Ocean to a new land they had never seen? They were leaving behind their homeland with friends, family, and familiarity, for a hostile unknown, untamed, and uncertain future. What brave souls they were. What great hope they held in their hearts. Fear was not an obstacle to their desire to partake of a new life in a new world.
The brave souls who left all behind in Eastern Europe to come to a new land known as America were seeking not merely opportunity but freedom, freedom from oppressive rule and taxation of kings and queens. As all men of all ages they lived and died being bound by two things, the rule of laws set by those with power over them and their hope and trust in their God. They came from Spain, France, Portugal, England, and Ireland settling everywhere along our east and southern shores and eventually the coast of California. Understand this for certain, their former masters may have been of a variety but their God was one in the same.
After arriving in their new land these hardy souls seeking freedom and opportunity in gratitude to their God with hope in their future made it obvious by naming their settlements "New" this and that or giving it the name of a favorite Saint. Their first common structure was not a town hall but a Church to worship and offer thanks to their God. Who was that God? It was not Allah, or Buddha, or any thing else. Regardless of the denomination the one thing essential in all the churches was the Bible. America from the very beginning was a nation of believers in Jesus Christ and the God of Abraham. It has always been a Judea-Christian nation. Another thing to be certain of is that when these people of God came together to declare their unity and independence from all their former masters they were guided by their common faith to declare all men were created equal by their creator God and as such had inalienable rights such as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This Christian conscience is what enabled our forefathers whose ancestors had lived centuries fighting each other at the command of power hungry rulers who enslaved those they conquered to eventually end the slavery of fellow Americans who had been brought here from Africa and forced to serve on plantations and as house servants. In retrospect those immigrants, God bless them, were exposed during their captivity to Christianity and became vivid examples for all of us of endurance and faithfulness in the face of persecution.
The truth of all of this had been accepted for over two hundred years until our current president from nowhere soon after his first election declared to the world that we were no longer a Christian nation.
That boastful announcement was not a statement of fact it was a wishful personal belief. It also was an indication of the design of his personal agenda to transform America into a nation without a valid constitution constructed by men of faith whose coin and currency bore the inscription "In God We Trust", and a nation unrestrained by Biblical integrity or a devout Christian conscience. Why would the leader of this beloved land of ours be so bold as to declare the demise of our heritage and its conscience and integrity? Was he remorsefully announcing our loss or proudly proclaiming the beginning of a new era he was about to impose upon us?
There is little doubt after decades of progressive liberal indoctrination throughout our universities, public schools and the mainstream media our society had gradually eroded its moral standards by capitulating to the onslaught of anti-Christian rhetoric deceitfully presented as benevolent social justice. Evil is as Evil does and where better to start a last ditch effort by its Legions to corrupt the worlds most powerful Christian nation than within its own government. We can not deny its presence in the agenda of politicians, many who profess to be Christians, in the hollowed halls in Washington along with socially corrupt governorships and big city mayors all over the country driving us to bankruptcy with endless entitlement programs and dividing the people into secular camps of perverse but (now) legal behavior railing against the founding values of our nation mocking the Church and her moral teaching under the guise of social justice or benevolent equal benefits and rights.
Our country has lost a cherished pride in our deep religious faith based on Jude-Christian values as woven into the fabric of our society. In a single lifetime (mine for instance) we have abandoned things like Blue Laws to protect the sanctity of the Sabbath and two parent church on Sunday families with stay at home mothers and embraced 24/7 shopping to satisfy a mounting hunger for every imaginable comfort and personal desire and become complacent with not only single moms and gay marriage but government subsidized abortion clinics for mothers wishing to kill their unborn paid for by a government run healthcare system which forces under specific penalties private companies and religious institutions to cooperate financially in this Holocaust of our Silent Citizens and even against their deeply held religious principles to actually perform the butchery as an act of social necessity.
Our most urgent need today is not to avoid an economic collapse or the financial cliff but rather we need to ignite and initiate a spiritual revival and search our souls admitting to ourselves we have turned from and left behind the only salvation we really have, the Lord Jesus Christ and his Divine Mercy.

Thanx Ricky ,Baryta Carb sounds good ,I was on a diff track ,child also likes to eat salty things which I may not have mentioned in the earlier post and some other similarities with the Nat Mur type. Meanwhile I will wait to see if anybody has any other ideas. If this wouuld help he is very artisitic and is highly imaginative.
Been given Baryta Carb 200 as it had app helped him initially,sleep pattern is better,slightly more alert than before but is still absent minded and the wart on his left knee has gotten bigger and is white now ....he is having the medicine in water I would be grateful if somebody would give me a litle advice on this one

could someone shed some light...
Ricky sorry I've not been able to post a reply earlier ,regarding the dosage ,it was three to four pills dissolved in water and given to the child after shaking the solution over a period of 3-4 days (Baryta Carb 200) right now the child is not being given anything ,was that the wrong way?? The mother says he has become even more forgetful,can u pl suggest something,I will be grateful...Ariana
Just thought that I would mention that after the initial aggravation and no medication the child seems much more alert and is beginning to show signs of improvement (recollecting/confidence)However the wart on his knee still seems to exist!Would it be wise to give Thuja 30C for the wart???
Things sound as if they are going the way they should. Don't worry about the wart on the knee. It's hardly life threatening!! If you want tell Mum to put Thuja tincture on the wart a couple of times a day as that should get shot of it but it will still take a few weeks.
RSHom - Registered Homeopath
Ricky thanx for that will try it out,only need to organise some of this tincture as its not available where I live and I get my stock thru friends in England/India,but like u said its not life threatening and I shall wait for some to arrive.

I don't know a lot of people, so I can't get more specific with the following, but there are definitely a lot of darker-complected families here, also at least two same-sex couples, and everyone's pretty mellow about it as far as I can tell.

You can't make people mix, but I also think people actually mix pretty naturally if there's nothing stopping them.

So when they're not mixing, it might make sense to ask, what's stopping them?

There was a huge scandal at UW-Madison when the student prospectus cover showed a football game crowd shot and a Black student had been Photoshopped in. (They made the mistake of using an actual UW student, so he saw himself on the cover and knew damn well he had never been to a football game).

At the time there was an attempt (not sure how successful) to point out that the problem wasn't the photoshopping, the problem was that there are so extraordinarily few students of any color at UW-Madison that there are (as Franklin points out, quite naturally) very few pictures of said students.

You could come up with all kinds of reasons for the lack of diversity. Here's one story: last year a Navajo Indian student from New Mexico left in the middle of the year. This was after he was beaten on the street, for the second time, by people yelling racial slurs (he wore his hair long in a braid, which helped people jump to conclusions about his ethnicity). Also after months of his attempts to get his RA or anyone at all to deal with the fact that a few people in his dorm were making his life hell.

This all had something to do with a contentious local election about a casino treaty, but as the young man was from New Mexico, that had nothing to do with him.

Any surprise that other Indian/Native American students left at the end of the year?

Point being, we (people of pallor, I mean) might assume there are no barriers to "diversity," but we might not always know what kind of barriers actually do exist....

Just some food for thought.birdfarmhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-1121546675972769232005-07-16T15:44:00.000-05:002005-07-16T15:44:00.000-05:00Could you just say that four of the white women we...Could you just say that four of the white women were dykes or something? Maybe that would be "diverse" enough for them.

Hmm, my husband and I are both immigrants, and although I'm so white I glow in the dark (which is quite useful, btw), he's Native American. Maybe we should sign up to be the poster family for something or other ...Rabbitchhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-1121474291537822042005-07-15T19:38:00.000-05:002005-07-15T19:38:00.000-05:00I go to a University in England, a secondary campu...I go to a University in England, a secondary campus with a student population of about 1500, including about 30 international students (most of whom, like myself, are graduate students). When the time came to take the photographs for next year's undergraduate prospectus for that campus, scheduled it conveniently during spring break, and only inited the international students to the shoot. So we show up for the supposed 4-hour shoot, and they take several African and Chinese students down to shoot on the beach and ask the rest of us to come back in three hours to shoot the cover. At that time they set us up in a classroom and spaced us out so that we looked like a semi-plausible group of students, then took shots for an hour. When the prospectus came out it was a beautiful picture--of my friend Johan, who is Swedish but looks Indian. It had been cropped so that only about four students total showed, with everyone else blurred into near unrecognizability besides Johan. Yes, he's gorgeous (http://photos1.blogger.com/img/147/952/1024/HPIM1367.jpg), but the most important part to them was the color of his skin in that very-very-English-white environment, not how smart he is.Nomadhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-1121466868998628832005-07-15T17:34:00.000-05:002005-07-15T17:34:00.000-05:00Hey! knitted hats off to you, my brother!

We don't just tolerate each other. We actually get along. I'm scared to post this, 'cause folks might start messing with our peace. It ain't perfect, it's in the Bronx, New York (forget what you've heard. Ask me instead, I'm a native).

You can get people to mix, once you stop discrimination in urban planning.

So much so that white workers are marginalized by the company's attempts to make it an "equal" working environment.

I still maintain that the value of a person should be what they contribute to a society, how well they perform etc, not the color of their skin. That's just shallow and pathetic.

The graduate school where I got my worthless Master's (the same place as our current Secretary of State got her PhD--oy) had a minority scholarship. I applied for it in my second year because I looked at the student population of the school and saw that I was one of 4 Jewish kids in the program, between all MAs and PhDs. I was turned down because they didn't consider me a minority. WHAT?

Anywhoodle, I'm not bitter. No sir, not me. I'm just glad I graduated in the two years recommended for the program and have the monthly loan repayment to remind me of that fact.

By Mark Kennedy and Lee Berthiaume
OTTAWA — With Muammar Gaddafi dead, Canada will spend the coming days preparing for the end of its military mission in Libya, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Thursday.
"Our government shall be speaking with our allies to prepare for the end of our military mission in the next few days," Mr. Harper told reporters outside the House of Commons.
"With the shadow of Gaddafi now lifted from their land, it is our hope that the Libyan people will find peace and reconciliation after this dark period in the life of their nation."
Mr. Harper congratulated the Canadian military and Lt.-Gen. Charles Bouchard, the Canadian air force officer who has been overseeing NATO's Libya mission, for their success.
"Gaddafi's days are over," Mr. Harper said. "Never again will he be in a position to support terrorism or to turn guns on his own citizens. The Libyan people can finally turn the page on 42 years of vicious oppression and continue their journey toward a better future."
Canadian forces played a major role in the seven-month, NATO-led air-and-sea campaign that helped lead to Gaddafi's ouster and eventual death at the hands of rebel forces.
NATO members are expected to meet over the coming days to decide the future of the mission, which began in March and ended up being a critical factor in ousting Gaddafi from power.
"The military commanders will provide an assessment and a recommendation to political council here in Brussels," NATO spokesman Tony White said Thursday morning. "That could happen very soon."
Mr. Harper has said Canadian forces will remain in the area until NATO decides they are no longer needed.
NDP foreign affairs critic Helene Laverdiere said it is time for Canada to shift its focus from combat to diplomacy and development.
Ms. Laverdiere was unapologetic about her party's opposition to extending the Libya mission for a third time last month.
"It's difficult to say whether what happened was because NATO stayed there a bit longer," she said. "Nothing would allow us to conclude that Libyans might not have found Gaddafi on their own if NATO had not been there."
Interim Liberal leader Bob Rae joined Mr. Harper in commending the military's efforts, but said the end of the mission must not signal an end to Canada's involvement in post-Gaddafi Libya.
"The tough work starts today, and it will be just as difficult as the military mission," he said.
Libya's top diplomat in Canada, charge d'affaires Abubaker Karmos, called it "a great day for Libyans."
"It means the beginning of the new Libya," he said. "His presence obviously constituted a threat to the Libyan people and now that he's gone, hopefully this will end."
Mr. Karmos would not say, however, whether he believed Gaddafi's death would mean the end of Canada's military involvement in the region.
"I'm sure they will assess the situation and take the decision whether it is finished or not," he said.
Mr. White would not comment on those reports but did confirm NATO aircraft destroyed two armoured vehicles in the area on Thursday. The nationality of the aircraft involved was not being made available by the military alliance.
Mr. White said he did not expect an immediate end to the mission.
"Despite what is obviously a very significant event, it's still important for us to be there," he said. "You cut off the head, does the body last a little bit longer? It could."
Earlier this month, NATO defence ministers laid out several criteria for ending the seven-month-old air-and-sea campaign in Libya. While ensuring Gaddafi was no longer in a position to command his forces was one, another was ending the threat posed by his fighters.
Mr. White said even if Gaddafi is no longer in command, those loyal to him are still dangerous.
"They have gone out of their way to attack civilians at every opportunity, even when they themselves have been cornered," he said. "That's another one of the reasons we are not about to end this right away."
Libya has emerged as a major priority for the Mr. Harper government. In February, the prime minister castigated Gaddafi for brutal "atrocities" against his own citizens, and imposed economic sanctions on the Libyan regime.
Canada joined the NATO military mission and Mr. Harper has promised repeatedly Canadian forces would stay there until Gaddafi no longer posed a threat to his people.
Canada has about 655 troops, seven CF-18 fighter jets, three refuelling aircraft and the naval frigate HMCS Vancouver assigned to the Libya mission.
That frigate is still enforcing an arms embargo off the Libyan coast and the fighter jets are continuing to conduct missions over the country, though NATO officials said they are not providing direct support to rebel forces fighting Gaddafi forces.
In September, after Libya's capital city, Tripoli, had fallen to the rebels but Gaddafi was still on the run, NATO countries agreed to a three-month extension of that mission.
However, the death of Gaddafi now raises questions about whether the mission will end sooner than that.
Canada has indicated publicly that it is committed to helping Libya through the transition, after 42 years of Gaddafi's dictatorship.
In September, Mr. Harper attended a meeting of world leaders — members of the "Friends of Libya" group — who were gathered on the sidelines of the United Nations.
He pledged Canada would stand by Libya as it shifts toward stability.
"Canada has been at the forefront of international efforts to protect civilians in Libya against the oppressive Gaddafi regime and provide them with humanitarian assistance," said Mr. Harper at the meeting.
"Canada will continue to support the people of Libya, standing ready to promote effective governance and institutions, a secure environment founded on the rule of law, economic development and prosperity, and respect for human rights."
Last week, Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird visited Tripoli and announced Canada will give $10-million to the new Libyan regime to help it secure the country's stock of weapons of mass destruction and track down thousands of shoulder-to-air missile launchers that reportedly have gone missing.
There are reports that as many as 23,000 surface-to-air missile launchers remain unaccounted for in the country. Though largely useless against jet fighters like the CF-18s Canada has deployed to the region, the missiles can shoot down commercial airliners and helicopters.
In Libya, the rebels have formed a National Transitional Council to help guide the country in the coming months. But it is far from certain how easy it will be for the country to rebuild.
Mr. Harper has made it clear that he wants to work with the Friends of Libya to ensure the country will not be abandoned.
Apart from military assistance to the Libyan rebels, Mr. Harper wants to ensure that nations throughout the world step up to the plate with other measures to help the NTC in the areas of economic, social, and democratic development.
From the start, Mr. Harper publicly cast the issue as a moral obligation for the international community.
When he attended a meeting in March of world leaders in Paris, where it was decided to launch airstrikes, Mr. Harper equated it to an act of war that was necessary.
"We're dealing with an individual and with a regime that will not be satisfied with the mere re-imposition of authority," he said at the time.
"The nature of this leader and the nature of his regime is they will massacre every single individual they even remotely suspect of disloyalty. This is an intolerable situation."
After Gaddafi was ousted in August, Mr. Harper announced that Canada was lifting sanctions it imposed in February on Libya — in which Canadians and Canadian companies were prohibited from dealing with the entire Libyan government.
Upon lifting the sanctions, Mr. Harper said: "It's essential that the Libyan people experience normal life as soon as possible. This will require resources."
In September, Mr. Baird also announced that a United Nations Security Council sanctions committee had agreed to unfreeze — with conditions — about $2.2-billion in Libyan funds held by Canadian banks and other institutions since March.

Sanford Clinic Women's Health is now offering the Essure procedure for permanent birth control in the comfort and convenience of the clinic. The Essure procedure offers women permanent protection against pregnancy without cutting or general anesthesia. Soft, flexible coils called micro-inserts are placed into each fallopian tube. Over the next three months tissue naturally grows into the micro-inserts forming a barrier that prevents sperm from reaching and fertilizing the egg. A confirmation test is performed at three months to let the woman know that she can rely on the Essure micro-inserts for permanent birth control.
"We perform the Essure procedure in our clinic under local anesthesia so that women can return to all the things important to them as soon as possible. We are excited to offer this wonderful option to women who are sure that they do not want any children in the future," said Jeanne Hassebroek-Johnson, MD with Sanford Clinic Women's Health.
The Essure procedure is 99.80% effective based on 4 years of follow-up and is covered by most health insurance plans. Tens of thousands of women worldwide have chosen the Essure procedure as their method of permanent birth control (sterilization) since 1998. In a clinical study on the Essure procedure, 96% of patients said they would recommend the procedure to a friend.
For more information on Essure, contact Sanford Clinic Womens Health at 605-328-7700. Media members with questions should contact Sanford Health Media Relations at 605-366-2432

How good is your business at turning staff activity into revenue, and revenue into profits? Those are questions finance people are paid big money to answer - but as the business model of news, B2B and entertainment publishing adapts to a digital, mobile and more fragmented model - it's time everyone thought about these challenges.
Five very different media companies reported their results last week – Pearson, ITV, Reed Elsevier, and all of them appear to be headed in the right direction on one key metric: the ratio of operating profit to revenues.
Operating profit to revenue
The table below shows how each company increased the revenue/profit ratio between 2011 and 2012. (We've stripped out the effect of one-off exceptional items on Pearson's bottom line).
Each of these five media companies is struggling with transitions in the environment they operate in - volatile ad markets, struggling western economies, decline of print and the rise of technology.
-- Pearson: Pre-tax profits were down 59 percent to £434 million, but that was due to a boost in the previous year from the sale of a stake in FTSE International and costs from the closure of Pearson education. Sales were up four percent to £6.1 billion.
-- Reed Elsevier: A total revenue increase of four percent for 2012 to £6.1 billion and profits up six percent to £1.7 billion, but significant variation between and within groups with digital businesses growth being offset by - you guessed it - print decline. (TheMediaBriefing's coverage)
-- ITV: The broadcaster continued its shift away from a reliance on advertising as rising non-advertising revenue pushed pre-tax profits up 17 percent to £464m and revenues up 3 percent to £2.2 billion. (TheMediaBriefing's coverage)
-- UBM: An 18 percent increase in events sales helped drive a two percent increase in total revenues and a modest increase in profits - however, this was offset by declines in its Marketing Services segment, which includes print trade magazines. (TheMediaBriefing's coverage)
-- WPP made a profit of £1.1 billion for the year, on revenues up 3.5 percent to £10.4 billion. Strong emerging market growth was offset by economic conditions in Europe and the US, slowing growth in China, and uncertainty around the future of the UK in the EU and crisis in Israel, Syria and other parts of the Middle East. (TheMediaBriefing's coverage)
Per employee
Another useful calculation is the amount of revenue each firm makes per-employee. Here there is a great deal of variation - with ITV way out ahead in terms of sales per employee.
ITV has the fewest employees, but a smaller workforce doesn't necessarily mean each is delivering more revenue.
Reed Elsevier has the second largest workforce, 30,000 people, yet the second-best revenue per-employee, £203,867 each. That's alongside the best profit to revenue ratio.
In contrast, WPP has far and away the highest revenue of any of the five, and the second-highest operating profit just behind Reed, yet also the largest workforce (165,000 people) and the lowest revenue per employee - £62,867.
The two firms who made the most of their efforts in emerging markets were UBM and WPP - and both have strong presences in China - with 1,000 and 2,500 people there respectively.
Intuitively, you might expect Chinese employees to generate much less revenue per employee in China, as average pay in the country is far lower and you would expect a more lax approach to hiring. However, the drop off is actually quite minimal, which might have something to do with this trend noted by Forbes back midway through 2012.

The synopsis for my first book was a hair-pulling, expletive-snorting, horrendous ordeal, so I am very, very grateful, Jordan, for these suggestions. It wasn't until the synopsis for the first one was done that I even realized what my book was about.

I like the idea of a longer summary distilled down to its essence, Clare.

I often include a pretty detailed outline (but then I'm an outliner!) of the plot but it takes many iterations of a synopsis to distill the story down so I don't have 20+pages! I usually include a 'world building' aspect to mine as I have historical/alternate historical elements in most of my books and agents and editors don't necessarily have this background. This is usually just a paragraph.Clarehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430862590333307596.post-45984178618545140392014-01-09T11:40:13.321-05:002014-01-09T11:40:13.321-05:00Congratulations, OR.

My own methods were developed from many articles and what has worked for me. It's important to be open to ideas.

I usually develop synopsis of varying lengths, but a pitch/proposal tends to be shorter, about 5-7 pgs, per book. But I can see how a summary with more detail could be helpful as a writing guide.

I once had to write a three-sentence synopsis for a short story submission. It was grueling, but when I finally got the right words in the right sequence, I was forced to do another rewrite. My synopsis clarified what the story was about, and I made the changes.

The result?

All of your points are excellent. For some of my stories, I will start off with a paragraph or two profiling the hero/heroine (for a romance) or the sleuth (for the first book in a mystery series). Then I start the synopsis proper. I'll also book either a log line or a back cover copy type blurb under the book's title on page one. My synopses tend to run long, about 15 pages, as it acts as my writing guideline. I'll have to condense this down to one page for some publishers. For a mystery, this means it would be about the sleuth, the suspects, and whodunit.

Don't forget to include emotional reactions and character growth. I've seen too many newbie synopses that are all about plot but don't give a hint about the protagonist's personality.Nancy J. Cohenhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com
