The IRS scandal started 587 days ago in May 2013, but it actually goes back years earlier. President Obama's testy "not even a smidgen of corruption" remark to Fox News in February 2014 showed fatigue. There was simply no evidence that the IRS was used for political targeting, he made clear. Maybe, but here are 20 things every American taxpayer should know about it:

Business realities weighed heavily in Shumlin's retreat. His experts calculated the state would need an 11.5 percent payroll tax and an additional income tax of up to 9.5 percent. That's California-style taxation. "My health-care costs would have gone up by 61 percent if that plan had gone through," Win Smith, the owner of the Sugarbush ski resort, told reporters. "If there were that 9 percent [income tax] on employees, many would have been paying more than they're paying now. It would have been a lose-lose." Shumlin admitted it would be irresponsible for him to be "pushing prematurely for single-payer" when "the risk of economic shock is too high at this time."

People who expected government-run health care to be cheaper than private health care have always been delusional. It's just that, until recently, those delusions haven't impacted health care policy.

Congressional Republicans are drafting an "industry-backed proposal" to enforce net neutrality rules while preventing the Federal Communications Commission from reclassifying Internet service as a utility, The Washington Post reported today. The Republicans "appear likely to introduce legislation next month," the report said.

If you vote for a Democrat, you get net neutrality.

If you vote for a Republican, you also get net neutrality.

But the people mostly don't know what net neutrality is.

Who do we vote for if we want major public policy changes to be debated and negotiated in public before legislation is passed?

On December 10, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich., and Ranking Member Sander Levin, D-Mich., introduced the Taxpayer Protections Against Abusive Seizures Act.

The act is a simple two-page bill. When the IRS seizes property under an alleged structuring scheme, the agency must return the property if the accused requests a hearing in court within 14 days of seizure. In order to maintain the law's legitimate power against terrorists and money launderers, property is not returned to the accused if the court finds probable cause within 14 days. Of course, that is still enough time for many businesses to go under, but currently there is no protection at all.

I can see no reason why this legislation should not pass the House and the Senate as soon as they reconvene.

However, I do not actually expect that to happen.

A legal advocacy group has sued the San Diego Police Department (SDPD) and the city of San Diego in an attempt to force the release of public records relating to stingrays, also known as cell-site simulators.

There is no justification for secrecy about these cell-phone interception devices. They are used by, and owned by, the public. While the details of a specific, current investigation might be confidential, the methods and technology should not be. Attempts to keep that secret are attempts to prevent an informed public debate on the merits and privacy implications of police surveillance, and as such, anathema to a free society.

For now, CoA is evaluating how it will proceed with its fight.

When President Obama took office, he swore that his would be "the most transparent" presidency in history, but his administration's hostility regarding actual transparency, as well as the free press, remains alarming and unacceptable. All of the requested IRS records need to be made public, and if the Obama administration and the IRS won't do it, then the Republican-led Congress needs to push for hearings to get to the bottom of the matter.

The Republicans in the House have been holding hearings for over a year. The IRS has stalled and stonewalled and now outright defied a court order requiring that emails related to this scandal be released. More hearings will produce only more defiance. Congress must refuse to fund the IRS and the DOJ -- at all, period, end, no salaries paid, nothing -- until all relevant emails are produced.

And to help that process along, they should ask their sergeant at arms to personally fetch the physical devices on which the records are stored for forensic analysis. Armed.

They are all about how doomy and gloomy it is.

What they don't get is that Obama doesn't care about his approval rating anymore. As he once told Putin via messenger boy, he will have more flexibility after his election. Well, he ran for re-election in 2012 and he won. He lost, big, in 2014... but not personally, just a lot of Congressional support. He's still in office for another two years. And Obama is not about government for the people, by the people. He knows what the American people deserve, and now that he doesn't have to pretend to like them and care about their opinions, he's going to give it to us as hard as he can. He doesn't even care about impeachment threats; partially because even a 54-46 Republican Senate majority won't convict him of anything, but mostly because he doesn't want to be president anymore.

He ran for office to "fundamentally transform" America. He wanted to punish his enemies, the "bitter clingers" to their guns and their religion. And now that America has seen his true colors and rejected him, he will do his utmost, in the time he has left, to punish us.

If you think that just voting for Republicans will change anything, you're deluding yourself.

If we want to fix this, we need to do two things:

1) Challenge and defeat the Republican party leadership, even if it means voting for the Democrats should they survive the primary. Kicking the leadership out sends a message and opens the field.

2) Push for our issues -- balanced budgets, term limits, spying limits, and whatever else seems necessary -- via Article V convention. We simply won't get reform from DC on those issues.

Otherwise, we're going to Grubered by both sides:

The bill unleashes a blizzard of new dictates regarding marijuana in Washington, D.C., bread in school cafeterias, sleepy truckers, portrait painting in federal offices, reckless speculation by federally-insured banks, campaign contributions from rich folks, lecherous congressional aides, and dozens of other subjects. Both conservatives and liberals are outraged at provisions popped into the bill with no warning or public hearing. But congressmen believe they are entitled to rule regardless. North Carolina Republican Rep. Robert Pittenger captured that mindset perfectly when he declared shortly before the vote: "Let's go govern."

And we'll get it crammed into legislation that isn't even available to read before being voted on.

President Obama's unilateral executive action on immigration will make hundreds of thousands, perhaps more than a million, illegal immigrants eligible for federal transfer payments. That will be done primarily through two widely used programs — the Earned Income Tax Credit, or EITC, and the Additional Child Tax Credit, or ACTC.

As it turns out, those two programs are already among the most corrupt and fraud-ridden in the entire federal government. A newly-released report from the inspector general of the Internal Revenue Service confirms that the EITC is plagued by fraud (which was already well known) and also reveals for the first time that the ACTC is even worse.

A lot of this sort of fraud was happening before Obama's policy change, of course. Now, undoubtedly a lot more will be happening. This explains a lot 6a63439a-89c6-35cf-9d63-e6f7e25e2cba 2014-12-12T13:19:48Z 2014-12-15T09:29:25Z TriggerFinger TriggerFinger
If, however your amygdala is not acclimated to adversity, then you will not be able to find a solution stored in your amygdala, and you will feel helpless. Once you are helpless, and your amygdala is applying aversive stimulus to drive you to take action, your focus will direct itself to making others solve your problems for you. Then, rather than fixing your problems yourself, you will focus on making everyone else miserable, in the hopes that to alleviate their misery they will solve your problem for you. Suddenly you are laying down in the middle of a freeway, basically telling other people that unless they fight your enemies for you and fix your problems on your behalf, you will stop traffic, and prevent them from getting home.

Seventy percent say the IRS investigation should last until "someone is held accountable." That's down from a high of 78 percent in June 2013. About one in five thinks it is time to move on (22 percent).

When 70% is down from the last poll, you have a remarkable level of agreement among the American people. I'm curious why those 8% changed their minds; did the election convince them people were being held accountable, or did the administration decision to withhold documents convince them accountability was impossible?

The new poll also asked why the White House is refusing to release thousands of pages of documents related to the IRS targeting. By nearly three-to-one people think it's because the administration wants to keep its role in the scandal secret (63 percent) rather than to keep taxpayer information confidential (22 percent).

Either way, the people aren't buying White House excuses for refusing to release the information. Not even Democrats:

Even Democrats are more likely to say the Obama White House is withholding documents to hide its involvement (45 percent) rather than to protect taxpayers (35 percent). Another 20 percent is unsure.

I think this statement unintentionally reveals more than the author intended about the establishment and how they operate. You see, no normal, sane person would look at whether a statement such as President Obama made to the Fox News (and thus the nation) in defense of the IRS's conduct was made with "sincere and forthright delivery". The delivery of such a statement is immaterial to its factual accuracy. Reasonable people look at the evidence.

And the evidence is what the establishment has gone to great lengths to try to hide from us, including in this latest release of 2 pages of information to Judicial Watch... 2 pages out of a total of 832 responsive pages.

"I think certainly we need to tighten the federal budget where appropriate," he said. "One of the things that could be early on is to basically audit every federal agency in terms of their programs and have them re-justify programs."

What's most striking in Pew's new data is that views have shifted more in favor of gun rights since then among nearly every demographic group, including women, blacks, city-dwellers, parents, college graduates, millennials and independents.

It's surprising because normally you would expect a paper like the Washington Post to ignore or downplay the news that support for gun control is dropping like a rock. Was the White House pushing the UVA rape hoax? 107f6187-2094-3332-98ed-7d2836954040 2014-12-12T14:27:54Z 2014-12-12T14:29:25Z TriggerFinger TriggerFinger Rape is not generally my preferred topic of discussion. My interest in rape, and particularly college policies on rape, is pretty much limited to suggesting schools allow adult students without criminal records to carry defensive firearms and avoid getting blackout-drunk with people who might take advantage of them. But when fabricated stories about fraternities gang-raping students are presented to the nation as facts on which legislation should be based upon, I think that's worth calling out:

I'd also like to know how much coordination there was among folks at UVA — Emily Renda worked in UVA President Teresa Sullivan's office, and on the White House "It's On Us" campus rape group, and I believe was the one who told Erdely about Jackie's case — and Rolling Stone, and the White House, and Sens. Gillibrand and McCaskill. Perhaps someone will ask them, or submit a FOIA request to the White House and a state FOIA to President Sullivan's office. Conveniently, McCaskill and Gillibrand aren't subject to FOIA, but that doesn't stop intrepid reporters from asking them.

Glenn asks whether the White House was pushing the story. I don't know, but I would want to know whether any politician was pushing the story. This same "journalist" has published stories about rape that actually resulted in legislation before, according to Instapundit. The same politicians -- Senator McCaskill, particularly -- introduced legislation purporting to address the UVA rape after this story was published.

Deceiving the public in order to look good passing needless legislation to address a non-existent problem that you created by lying to the public is despicable.

As for the credibility of the original rape story, it's pretty much completely shot. I haven't, and won't, follow that blow-by-blow. But I feel it's worth pointing out that the author of the story not only shared a journalism class with Stephen Glass (who was later famously fired for making up stories), he brought her up on disciplinary measures for making up stories.

Wow. Obstruction of Justice 77e986ff-b539-387f-b2d9-8014e810485b 2014-12-12T13:38:57Z 2014-12-12T13:29:25Z TriggerFinger TriggerFinger
A 36-year-old Baltimore woman claims she was tased by police and arrested while filming the arrest of a man with her mobile phone, according to a lawsuit to be served on the Baltimore City Police Department as early as Thursday... Police erased the 135-second recording from the woman's phone, but it was recovered from her cloud account, according to the Circuit Court for Baltimore City lawsuit (PDF), which seeks $7 million.

I'm not sure about $7 million here, but if the police deleted her cell phone video, they should at a minimum never work as police officers again -- and ideally spend some time in jail for destruction of evidence. These are personal crimes, and the officers involved need to be punished personally if guilty. Having the taxpayers pay a settlement to the victim is only half of the solution.

Note to police: This sort of thing is why you're not officer friendly anymore.

Campaign finance rules change in omnibus budget legislation 18e17896-56cb-39b3-92dc-8bc1c3c0909e 2014-12-11T18:56:14Z 2014-12-11T14:05:08Z TriggerFinger TriggerFinger
A massive expansion of party fundraising slipped into a congressional budget deal this week would fundamentally alter how money flows into political campaigns, providing parties with new muscle to try to wrest power back from independent groups.

If this is supposed to be "emergency" legislation to fund the government, why are significant changes to campaign finance rules being slipped into the bill without public debate? Clearly, the Republican establishment wants to clear the way for huge political spending by their wealthy funders in order to crush future challenges by tea party type candidates.

I'm not necessarily going to say that these changes are right or wrong; I'm generally opposed to most campaign finance regulations that implicate free speech. However, if there is going to be a change, that change should be debated publicly rather than slipped into an omnibus continuing resolution under cover of night before Christmas.

Between this, the secret removal of the anti-NSA backdoor legislation, and the funding of Obama's amnesty and Obamacare, I'm going to urge my representatives to vote down the omnibus bill. No-backdoor legislation dropped from omnibus funding bill c241fdd9-7eb8-31ac-bf89-8f2cea5362df 2014-12-10T22:53:21Z 2014-12-11T12:29:25Z TriggerFinger TriggerFinger
"Thus far, Congress has failed to rein in the Administration's surveillance authorities and protect Americans' civil liberties. Nevertheless, the Massie-Sensenbrenner-Lofgren amendment established an important record in the full House of Representatives—an overwhelming majority will no longer tolerate the status quo. Unwarranted and backdoor surveillance is untenable, and as Congress turns to address a multitude of expiring surveillance programs in the 114th Congress, the House will not allow unwarranted surveillance without meaningful reform. The Secure Data Act defends Americans' constitutional rights and is an important next step in closing backdoor surveillance and rebuilding public trust in our intelligence agencies."

The House passed it 293-123, but then House leadership dropped it from the omnibus bill with neither publicity nor explanation. If I had to guess, I'd guess Obama contacted the House leadership and issued a private veto threat, which means under his administration the NSA has and is actively using back doors.

A handful of Democratic lawmakers said Tuesday they plan to push once again for universal background checks on all gun sales in the new Congress, even though they recognize it will be an uphill battle with Republicans taking majority control.

Most of the people calling for the legislation are from Connecticut. With Republicans in control of both the House and the Senate, chances of passage seem low. Applying broken windows theory to the police b43b2959-e56a-36fe-8cb6-b97389183daf 2014-12-10T15:37:02Z 2014-12-11T09:29:25Z TriggerFinger TriggerFinger
I'd never thought about police abuses in quite this way before. But it seems to me that the reforms implied by applying broken-windows theory to police officers are very similar to many of the policy changes that critics of policing have lately been advocating. How to consistently punish police officers at the first sign of disordered behavior? Record their interactions to a cloud server that they do not control. Assign independent prosecutors to handle cases of unlawful behavior. And end the practice of arbitrators reversing punishments given to misbehaving cops.

Read the whole thing, Bloomberg buys a Nevada background check petition c9c5416e-b2d7-313d-81c5-0dad0b93205f 2014-12-10T13:30:50Z 2014-12-10T15:29:25Z TriggerFinger TriggerFinger
Activists have secured enough petition signatures to send a measure that would tighten Nevada's gun purchase background laws to the state legislature and, if lawmakers don't act, to the ballot for voters to decide on.

We need to stop this in Nevada if we can. Once Bloomberg starts to look like he has inertia via this method, other states will fall in line, especially if ballot measures pass.

Hat tip to Alphecca for the story. Anti-gun surgeon general nominee likely to get a vote 29e676bc-5e4b-3684-916d-eaa24658c521 2014-12-10T13:12:46Z 2014-12-10T14:29:25Z TriggerFinger TriggerFinger
Senate Democrats are "likely" to give anti-gun Surgeon General nominee Vivek Murthy a confirmation vote before they lose control of the Senate at year's end.

Getting a vote doesn't mean he'll actually be confirmed, but his chances are probably better now then under a majority-Republican Senate.

Murthy's qualifications for office appear to amount to a medical degree that he hasn't actually used much, his support for Obama, and his conviction that gun violence is a public health issue rather than a criminal law issue.

Breitbart thinks the confirmation vote could come as early as tomorrow (December 11th), so contacting your Senator may be a good idea. Of course, you may have already voted out your Senator, in which case they might as well give the voters who kicked them out of office the finger as they leave. Judicial Watch finds evidence of Lerner-DOJ contact in 2010 866a41d1-2ebe-321b-9569-a4e68cf4160e 2014-12-10T13:24:42Z 2014-12-10T13:29:25Z TriggerFinger TriggerFinger
Judicial Watch today released internal Department of Justice (DOJ) documents revealing that former IRS official Lois Lerner had been in contact with DOJ officials about the possible criminal prosecution of tax-exempt entities two full years before what the IRS conceded was its "absolutely inappropriate" 2012 targeting of the organizations. According to the newly obtained documents, Lerner met with top Obama DOJ Election Crimes Branch officials as early as October 2010.

Read the whole thing, but here's the dramatic summary:

"These new documents dramatically show how the Justice Department is up to its neck in the IRS scandal and can't be trusted to investigate crimes associated with the IRS abuses that targeted Obama's critics. And it is of particular concern that the DOJ's Public Integrity Section, which would ordinarily investigate the IRS abuses, is now implicated in the IRS crimes. No wonder the Department of Justice under Eric Holder has done no serious investigation of the Obama IRS scandal," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "It is shameful how Establishment Washington has let slide by Obama's abuse of the IRS and the Justice Department. Only as a result of Judicial Watch's independent investigations did the American people learn about the IRS-DOJ prosecution discussions of Obama's political enemies and how the IRS sent, in violation of law, confidential taxpayer information to the FBI and DOJ in 2010. Richard Nixon was impeached for less."

The DoJ cannot be trusted to investigate this because the DoJ was involved in it. And we still have no testimony about the "secret project" that Lerner was involved in gathering data for. Note also that the DoJ withheld more than 800 documents, citing the deliberative process privilege (a limited form of executive privilege that does NOT protect evidence of criminal activity) and taxpayer privacy (which is rather ironic in itself). Legal Insurrection wins FOIA suit over David Gregory magazine ban d32f52f7-860e-342c-b04c-e5f9b38abe3a 2014-12-09T18:28:20Z 2014-12-10T12:29:25Z TriggerFinger TriggerFinger
In the Gregory case, NBC News was warned by the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department that possession of the magazine was illegal, and that NBC News should use a photo not the real thing, but NBC News ignored the warning and used it on Meet the Press.

Read the whole thing. No documents yet, though. The stupidity of the American voter 5cf31776-7f61-3c99-b797-fee9997a52ed 2014-12-09T16:59:05Z 2014-12-10T11:29:25Z TriggerFinger TriggerFinger According to Hot Air, a pro-Landrieu flier claims that if Landrieu loses her runoff Senate race (which, in fact, she did lose -- by 17 points or so), then her constituents will no longer have access to:

Section 8 Housing Assistance

Affordable Healthcare and Medical Card

SNAP aka food stamp assistance

Early Childhood development programs

Childcare assistance

Social Security until age 70

Medicaid for early disability

Minimum wage increase

Childhood Dental Assistance

WIC assistance

Head of Household Tax exemptions

Educational Assistance such as grants for college

The truth, of course, is that none of those depend upon whether Landreiu is re-elected to the Senate. Witness the fact that she has not been re-elected, and all of those benefits remain in place. They don't even depend on Democratic control of the Senate; in fact, most of them survived the Bush Presidency, for 3/4ths of which the Republicans controlled all three branches of government yet did not block any of those programs.

No matter how much it would please me if they had. Omnibus spending bill funds amnesty, provides $1B in migrant aid b3a2dc2f-87d8-397b-a069-7225790a1103 2014-12-11T22:10:44Z 2014-12-10T10:29:25Z TriggerFinger TriggerFinger
The GOP's draft 2015 "omnibus" spending bill reportedly includes $948 million to help poor and unskilled Central American migrants establish themselves in the United States, but includes no effective restrictions on President Barack Obama's plan to provide work permits and tax payments to millions of resident illegal immigrants.

That new spending works out to $16,928 for each of the 56,000 youths, young adults and children who crossed the border during the 12 months up to October 2014.

Vote for a Democract, get amnesty. Vote for a Republican, get amnesty.

But the people don't want amnesty. Who do they vote for then?

UPDATE: Thanks to SaysUncle for the link. You may also be interested to know that the cromnibus legislation being pushed by the Republican leadership had the anti-NSA-backdoor legislation stripped out in secret and makes secret changes to campaign finance rules to allow parties to collect more donations.

UPDATE 2: It passed, with the following commentary:

Conservative Republicans, meanwhile, opposed the bill for not doing more to curtail President Obama's executive actions on immigration. While 162 Republicans voted for the bill, 67 rejected it... The bill's passage, as a result, was a remarkable victory for both Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and President Obama, who were able to cobble together the votes for passage.

Aren't those two supposed to be on different sides? Anyways, on to the Senate. Illinois about to outlaw recording police officers, again 559561bd-8286-3892-945d-0d6b42dbf22a 2014-12-09T13:55:56Z 2014-12-10T09:29:25Z TriggerFinger TriggerFinger They had outlawed it previously, but their courts struck it down. Now, there is a piece of legislation sitting on their governor's desk that outlaws recording any conversation in which there is an expectation of privacy. The penalty is three years for recording an ordinary citizen, and 4 years for recording police.

How you tell whether there is an expectation of privacy is not specified.

However, it's clear that the people do not have an expectation of privacy from the police under this law:

This little nugget is also included in this legislation: With permission of a state's attorney, not a judge, police could legally eavesdrop on individuals for up to 24 hours without a warrant while investigating such serious crimes as murder, sexual assault or kidnapping.

Somehow, I don't think this one will pass Constitutional muster either.

Why are police allergic to the simple requirement that they get permission from a judge before spying on people?

Dealing with ant problems
Mike McGrath, WTOP's garden guru
Meet Mike at Homestead Saturday! -- Mike will give a free kitchen garden talk ("Grow Twice as Much in Half the Space!") and answer all your questions at 1 p.m. this Saturday at Homestead Gardens in Davidsonville, Md. (just outside of Annapolis). For more info, click here.
Attack of the ants!
Kelly in Bowie writes: "I have an ant problem that drives me absolutely bonkers every year. I've tried lawn sprays, home defense sprays for the perimeter inside and outside but nothing seems to keep them at bay. My husband laughs at me when I go into 'ant stomping' mode pretty much every morning. I have a toddler and try to keep everything as clean as possible, but am fighting a losing battle. Do you have any tips for keeping the ants out?"
Sure thing, Kelly -- and I wish you had asked me before you sprayed those unnecessary (and, as you have noted) useless toxins inside and outside your home. The only harm they caused was to your family. Please don't use them again -- sprays do NOT work against ants because the vast majority of the pests, and the all-important queen, are in hidden nests that the sprays never reach.
Boric acid bait traps are a sure cure for ant problems. They combine a sweet bait with a low dose of boric acid. The workers aren't harmed at first when they sample it, and so they take the bait back to the nest, where the slow-acting boric acid will eventually begin to make all the ants sick -- but much too late in the game for the colony to recover. The queen will die, the colony will collapse, your ant problems will be over and you and your toddler won't be inhaling insecticides all day long.
But you MUST let the workers leave!
Unfortunately, Kelly replied that once she read my advice on how to use the traps properly, she felt she couldn't use them, because she "just had to kill every ant" she saw.
Then you'll always have ants, Kelly.
There could be thousands of ants in each nest, and the only way to cut off that endless flow is to allow the worker ants to carry the sweet bait back to the nest, where the slow acting boric acid will kill the queen in a week or so. And once she's gone, so are your ant problems. That's the deal: A week of restraint equals a complete end to your ant issues.
Clover in lawns is no reason to poison kids
Emily in D.C. writes: "After listening to your radio spots, it's clear that our condo association has apparently done everything wrong to our poor lawn -- cutting it too short, cutting during summer droughts, etc. Now the grass is full of clover and the residents are afraid to let our numerous children, infants and dogs on it as the clover seems to attract bees; and our mosquito problem in the summer is out of control. Our contractor wants to spray the herbicide Trimec in May. Is there a more pet- and child-safe alternative?"
Yikes! There's no less safe alternative, Em! And there's no need for herbicides of any kind! You yourself acknowledge that the lawn hasn't been properly cared for, and "weeds" like clover are the inevitable result of a poorly maintained lawn. (I personally don't consider clover a weed, but I'll humor everyone by doing so here.) The answer isn't herbicide -- it's correct lawn care!
Clover in lawns is a sign of underfeeding and overwatering. If you feed the turf every spring and fall (not in summer), never cut the grass lower than 3 inches and water deeply but infrequently, the clover will vanish without human intervention. But if you feed randomly or water every day for short periods of time, the grass will suffer while the clover thrives.
Clover and bees
In our last thrilling episode, Emily in D.C. said her condo lawn's clover "seems to attract bees; and our mosquito problem in the summer is out of control."
Clover does attract bees, Em -- but only imported honey bees -- the kind kept by humans in artificial hives -- sting. The vast majority of bees visiting local flowers are harmless, stingless, native bees whose superior powers of pollination will dramatically increase the number and quality of flowers in your landscape. AND THEY DON'T STING.
Plus, if people simply don't walk barefoot on the grass when the clover is in bloom, even honey bees won't sting. Unlike wasps (like the highly aggressive yellow jacket), honey bees die after stinging once, and so they only attack when threatened -- like when they're being stepped on!

Welcome to the latest version of the UKKFF website! We've been building it since June 2011.
This is the 10th version of our website to go live, but the first to use a full Content Management System (CMS) to organise our ever-growing resources. All previous versions were hand-coded using a text editor, and although Versions 8/9 may have looked nicer than this one (to some people), please remember that those versions were at TOP of their development curve, and we were reaching the limit of what we could accomplish just using simple HTML4 and CSS2.
So whilst this version may look more basic initially, you'll soon see that a proper CMS has far greater potential for interaction with our membership, and for tailoring information to the needs of the individual. Watch this version of the site develop, and enjoy seeing your organisation move with the times.
Enjoy, and happy training!

Topic Outline
Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is increasingly recognized clinically as the second most common type of degenerative dementia after Alzheimer disease (AD). In addition to dementia, distinctive clinical features include: visual hallucinations, parkinsonism, cognitive fluctuations, dysautonomia, sleep disorders, and neuroleptic sensitivity.
First described in the 1960s, DLB has a varied clinical presentation that shares features with other degenerative dementias. It was often overlooked pathologically because of the difficulty in identifying cortical Lewy bodies. With the advent of immunohistochemical stains for constituents of Lewy bodies, the prevalence of this disorder began to be recognized. However, challenges remain in defining this as a distinct entity from other degenerative dementias.
There is some clinical imperative to diagnose DLB, as optimal treatment choices - for best efficacy and limitation of significant side effects - are specific to DLB. However, DLB continues to be under recognized, and the clinical diagnostic criteria continue to be refined to improve specificity and sensitivity.

I'm having trouble determining if im INTP or a lazy INTJ. So theres a thread out about how INTJ's and INTP's talk to themselves... But how do their running monologues e. i. their thought processes, & the role words play in that differ. the Left brain is what uses words to think, the right brain spatial thought. INTP's are suppose to think non-linearly. Here is my initial response to the other post on the other thread. compare it with your INTP thought process, and tell me if this is similar to yours & in what way, or tell me if its foreign & in what way:
::running monologue warning::
hahaha yeah i cuss myself out too. then rationalize my behavior, & explain to myself why i did what i did & what the root cause is, then determine not to let the cause manifest itself again but it always does & i end up calling myself bad things again. wow maybe im INTP and not INTJ; damn im confused on what i am. only the left brain relies on words to process information. I guess that kind of shows it's always a mixture of both sides. is right brained thinking in words? what is thinking other than verbal & spatial. But how can you think of everything spatially. Is there such a thing as spatial verbal thought. hmm. OK maybe INTP's may convert things into words but they dont initially reason with words, the words are secondary, theyre atomic facts manipulated in space, but this is still too circumstantial.
So do INTJ's rely on words as their primary thought structures & not secondary?
I wonder if you could determine J/P by simply administering an IQ test & comparing verbal vs spatial dominance.
Do INTJ's have a terrible sense of direction when driving, or is this an INTP triat. If it is then i deffinitly am INTP.
Keep in mind while reading this that it is a bit difficult to translate inner monologue into outer monologue. Does this kind of thought structure sound alien to you? If it does than ill call myself INTJ. someone comment; making a running dialogue of your thought process for me. REGARDS- ian

The healthcare support worker/healthcare assistant role is increasingly fulfilling and challenging, with some exciting new roles emerging – particularly if you have the right qualifications and experience. This foundation degree will help you get ahead by developing the knowledge and competences needed to deliver high quality, safe and compassionate care, and put you in a prime position to take advantage of new career opportunities as they arise.
For students living and working in Scotland, this programme of study is available as the Diploma of Higher Education in Healthcare Practice (W16).
To register for this qualification, please refer to the entry requirements and contact our Student Registration & Enquiry Service (online registration is not available).

This qualification has two stages, each comprising 120 credits. Stage 1 provides the underpinning knowledge and skills needed for more advanced study at Stage 2.
Stage 1 introduces the study of health and social care and some of the underpinning knowledge, understanding and skills needed for contemporary healthcare practice. You'll consider care in a range of settings such as family and community, GP surgeries and hospitals – alongside practice-focused study of the factors influencing health in different service user groups.
Explore through real-life case studies how we give or receive health and social care services in residential and community settings, hospitals, clinics or GP surgeries.
This online, work-based module explores the importance of promoting health and reflects on the contexts of practice and development of knowledge, understanding and skills to meet core patient/client needs.
At Stage 2, you'll apply research, policy and practice to your own work context – exploring the diversity and complexity of people's lives and their experience of healthcare with a work-based module. You'll also choose optional module(s) from topics such as health and wellbeing, mental health, children and young people, dementia care, end-of-life care, long-term conditions, human biology and sports science.
A nationally recognised qualification in its own right, the foundation degree is also equivalent to the first two thirds of an honours degree.
The modules quoted in this description are currently available for study. However, as we review the curriculum on a regular basis, the exact selection may change over time.
This qualification develops your learning in four main areas:
The level and depth of your learning gradually increases as you work through the qualification. You'll be supported throughout by the OU's unique style of teaching and assessment – which includes a personal tutor to guide and comment on your work; top quality course texts; e-learning resources like podcasts, interactive media and online materials; tutorial groups and community forums.
If you have already studied at university level, you may be able to count it towards your Open University qualification – reducing the number of modules you need to study. It's not just study completed at a university that can be considered, you can transfer study from a wide range of professional qualifications as well. A full list of the qualifications and institutions we can consider for credit transfer can be found on our credit transfer website.
You should apply for credit transfer before you register, at least 4 weeks before the registration closing date. We will need to know what you studied, where and when and you will need to provide original evidence of your previous study. We will compare this against the learning outcomes for your chosen qualification and inform you of any award.
For more details of when you will need to apply by and to download an application form, visit our Credit Transfer website.
On completion of this undergraduate course, you will be awarded the Foundation Degree in Healthcare Practice.
As a student of The Open University, you should be aware of the content of the following regulations:
These regulations are also available on our Essential Documents website.
There are no academic entry requirements for this course. However, you must have the support of your employer for the two work-based modules Enhancing your healthcare practice (K117) and Extending your contribution to healthcare practice (K236) and be employed as healthcare support worker/healthcare assistant in a healthcare setting for a minimum of two days per week during your studies.
Anyone can study with The Open University, but if it's a while since you did any academic work it's worth checking that your time management, computing and English skills are up to speed. Visit Can I do it? to find out more.
If your study skills are a bit rusty or you want to try out Open University study before committing yourself, don't worry! You can get started with an Access module – fascinating courses designed to introduce subject areas, build your confidence and prepare you for further study.
This is a multidisciplinary module that allows you to develop your subject knowledge and your general study skills. It provides an excellent introduction to a wide range of subject areas, including children and young people, health, law, management, psychology and social sciences.
The module is divided into four blocks:
Block 1: Individuals
In this block, each discipline discusses individuals from a subject-specific perspective or point of view. In Social sciences the individual is presented in relation to cultural and group identities. In Childhood, identity formation is demonstrated through relationships and maturation processes. Lifestyle choices are discussed in relation to individual biological and psychological factors in Health. Psychology takes you on a journey through ways of understanding how individuals think and perceive their world, while Law takes a life course approach to individual rights and responsibilities. Finally, Management takes a very practical view of how you as an individual can begin to organise and develop yourself and others.
Block 2: Families and relationships
Here you'll encounter a range of perspectives from each of the subject areas on the theme of families and relationships. In Childhood, family and relationships are presented from the point of view of an adult who wants to understand more about the lives of children and young people. The Health perspective explores how family life affects health and considers the care demands on families during illness. Psychology reveals how interaction is key to understanding how families are built and sometimes fall apart. You'll explore division of labour in families from a Social sciences perspective, and how the nature of family life shapes life chances. In considering parental rights and responsibilities, Law discusses serious cases such as child neglect and abuse. Finally, Management looks at relationships at work and how to manage them effectively.
Block 3: Organisations and communities
This block begins with a Management perspective on organisations, in which you will consider characteristics typical of organisations, including structure, culture, and management tools. Also, you'll discover how adults support transitions for children and their families when children enter school for the first time or move between different educational settings. In Health, the school is again a focus, along with the built environment, this time for considering health influences and interventions. Having approached organisations and communities from a largely experiential perspective, the block then presents Law, and how rights and responsibilities influence and constrain practice in organisational settings. In Psychology, you consider how roles and groups develop within organisations, coming to a working understanding of certain observable behaviours. Finally, Social Sciences present how people can organise themselves to bring about social change.
Block 4: Society
This block opens with an examination of how social scientists view and consider society, including different types of cultures and how aspects of different cultures spread to different countries. The concept of multiple self is discussed in Psychology, showing how individuals can adapt and change when moving to a different culture. Next, you will consider the growth of fast food diets in Western society, their effect on children and young people, and action to foster healthy eating habits. Health is considered by debating the impact of government policy on the health and well being of society. In Law, you'll consider the laws of negligence and duty of care within society today, drawing on real life cases that English law courts have judged.
The module includes a DVD and website which include further study materials and resources as well as online quizzes and interactive exercises to help test your understanding.
As you study this module you will build your confidence and develop your study skills, including:
You will also have the opportunity to gain skills such as working with audio and visual material, using online forums and searching the internet for information. This experience will provide you with a gentle introduction to using a computer to support your study, and will equip you with the basic computing skills you will need for the next step in your studies.
Please note that you will need access to the internet and a computer to study and pass this module. You will need to use a computer early on in the module but not straight away, so if you don't currently have one you've got time to make arrangements. You can use your own computer or one at a library or drop-in centre.
On successful completion of this module you will receive an Open University Access Module Certificate.

Delivering quality care requires teamwork and people management skills. Studying this course will encourage you to work in your multi-professional team to improve the patient/service user experience. You will also develop valuable transferable skills in communication literacy, IT skills, information retrieval, numeracy, time management, organisational skills, analysing information and problem solving – and you'll be well prepared for further study (such as an honours degree course, or a professional qualification in your particular field of practice).
This foundation degree is designed to promote the development of healthcare career pathways and to prepare healthcare support workers/healthcare assistants for the role of assistant/associate practitioner. Although it provides no guarantee of promotion, it is particularly relevant for staff working in healthcare support roles who wish to gain a qualification that helps them to deliver high quality, safe and compassionate care. Successful completion of the Foundation degree in Healthcare Practice allows access to Stage 2 of the pre-registration nursing programme, subject to successful selection and meeting the Nursing and Midwifery Council's (NMC) minimum entry requirements.
The wide range of transferable skills you'll develop during your studies will be applicable to many roles outside health and social care.
In addition to improving your career prospects, studying with the OU is an enriching experience that broadens your horizons, develops your knowledge, builds your confidence and enhances your life skills.
Once you register with us (and for up to three years after you finish your studies), you'll have full access to our careers service for a wide range of information and advice – including online forums, website, interview simulation, vacancy service as well as the option to email or speak to a careers adviser. Some areas of the website are available to see at any time, including help with looking for and applying for jobs. You can also read more general information about how OU study enhances your career.
In the meantime if you want to do some research around this qualification and where it might take you, we've put together a list of relevant job titles as a starting point (note that most careers will require further study, training and/or work experience):

university of detroit mercy second degree program - page 18
I am thinking about going to Mercy's accelorated second degree program but I hear they lose many people during the year due to grades. Is that true? Is it too fast and should I consider a 2 year program? I am a good student but... Read More
0Feb 5, '12 by dreamchaser02I received my acceptance for the May 2012 program on Feb. 1, 2012... did anyone else get accepted?
0Feb 5, '12 by dreamchaser02I submitted my application in the fall as well, I just got accepted 5 days ago into the May 2012 entry.
0Mar 4, '12 by 313RNBig dude-As a graduate of the SDO program as well I'd like to disagree with some of what you said.
First, I disagree with your assessment of the faculty. The academic faculty is largely made up of instructors who either have a doctorate or are pursuing it. In fact I can only think of two members of the faculty who are not pursuing their doctorates.
Clinical faculty in any program is unlikely to hold a terminal degree.
As far as NCLEX pass rates I can tell you some classes are stronger than others and the program has been changed to increase their pass rate. That being said, my classes pass rate was over 95 percent.
There is some organizational weakness but it seems to be improving. From what I've read on AN, disorganization seems to be a hallmark of many ABSN programs.
Lastly, if the program is not to your liking you have the option of withdrawing at any time. If you're currently in the January cohort you still have most of the year ahead of you and can apply for fall admission to one of the other schools you mentioned.
If you're in the May cohort you should be starting your preceptorship shortly. I hope you're more professional when you're at work than what I'm seeing here.
Lastly, I'd bet that most of your class will pass NCLEX handily. I've found that most of the students who complete the program do.
Best of luck to you.Last edit by 313RN on Mar 4, '12 : Reason: Formatting/clarity
0Mar 28, '12 by ccarts24Hello I know many of you have questions about this program. As did I before starting. If you would like to email me for further information...feel free firstname.lastname@example.com
Good luck
0Mar 31, '12 by dreamchaser02No I did not have all my pre-reqs done but I still got accepted. Detroit Mercy mainly cares about your degree being posted, once they receive your first degree, they allow you to finish up your last 4 pre-reqs (I'm not sure if you can have more than 4). I start the program May 7, 2012, and right now I'm taking the math class, health ethics, and the chemistry class (Winter 2012). I still got accepted without having those classes done because I had my degree completed, as well as the other pre-reqs. I graduated with my psychology degree on December 10, 2011, I got accepted Feb. 1, 2012.
0Apr 1, '12 by CreativetypeI got accepted to for May 2012 but I am choosing to wait to go to OU's 2013 accelerated program which also accepted me, just found out. Even though it's 6 or 7 months more to wait, I'd rather save 30 k at least. I just can't seem to justify paying 55 k or so when I know how hard it is to pay it back after paying rent, car, living expenses. But I wish everyone luck and don't slack on studying, I hear it's brutal but do-able!

Schizophrenic rapist taken to see horror films - Biggleswade Today
A violent schizophrenic was taken on trips to the cinema to watch horror films by staff before he escaped from a low-security hospital near Bristol and raped a 14-year-old girl, a court has heard.
Darren Harkin, 21, was also allowed to build a vast collection of horror and pornographic DVDs while being detained for stabbing his six-month-old stepbrother to death in his cot.
The judge said the case highlighted a number of concerns including why Harkin, who had a history of absconding, was moved to a low-security unit, why staff waited nearly half an hour before telling police about his escape, and why neighbouring police forces were not alerted.
A number of concerns? A number of fucking concerns? I should bloody think so. There should be P45s being mass stamped for everyone involved after they have explained in person why their unbelievable behaviour and laxness has resulted in a schoolgirl being raped. And as for the choirboy, he obviously is beyond being ever being safe to be released. I used to know an ex-marine who had then been a "nurse" at Broadmoor for ten years, he had got to know all of them, all the never-to-be released ones, and his opinion having dealt with them and on reflection of the options was simple - hang the lot of them.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Having completed his undergraduate degree, Syracuse University senior offensive tackle Justin Pugh announced on Thursday he will forego his final year of collegiate eligibility and enter the 2013 NFL Draft.
Here is the full press release from the SU Athletics Department:
Syracuse football offensive tackle Justin Pugh will forgo his final season of eligibility with the Orange and enter the 2013 NFL Draft, he announced today. A 2011 and 2012 All-BIG EAST First Team selection, Pugh started every game he played at Syracuse. The team co-captain was also honored as an 2012 ECAC Division I Football All-Star and 2012 ESPN.com All-BIG EAST Team selection. Pugh has completed his degree requirements in finance. "Coach Marrone and Coach Adkins have been great throughout my career, including through this process," Pugh said. "I wanted to be honest with everyone as I made this decision and they were the same with me. My Syracuse career was the best four years of my life. My teammates, coaches, the staff and the fans have been great. I would not change anything about my decision to attend Syracuse or my career. I am so happy I came to Syracuse University. I will always be active in the Orange football program and the Syracuse community. I love the Orange. Go 'Cuse." After missing the first four games of the 2012 season with an injury, Pugh returned to the Syracuse lineup to anchor an offensive line that as has paved the way for 1,000-yard rusher Jerome Smith. In addition, the Orange averaged 187.0 yards per game on the ground, the program's most effective ground attack since 2004. Pugh and the rest of the SU front five allowed just 16 sacks this season. "Justin is a big part of this program turning the corner," Marrone said. "He came in with us four years ago and gave us everything he had. We are proud of him for earning his degree and for what he has accomplished on the field as a leader of this team. He has earned it. I believe he will be very successful at the next level and in everything he does outside of football. Justin will always be part of the Orange football family." The Holland, Pa. native was a key player for the Orange offense that ranked eighth nationally and first in the BIG EAST in third down conversion (49.3%) and led the conference in the conference in total offense (476.3). Pugh blocked for a 1,000-yard rusher all three seasons. Prior to the 2012 season, Pugh was named to the 2012 Rotary Lombardi Award Official Watch List and the 2012 Outland Trophy Watch List, which recognizes the best interior lineman in college football.
