For over nine months, Habitat for Humanity has been working on the construction of a three bedroom home at 1906 Hubbard in Great Bend. With only a small number of workdays left before the home is turned over to its new owners, the help of some local motorcycle riders couldn't have been more greatly appreciated, said Habitat's board president Rachel Mawhirter.
District Judge Hannelore Kitts announced Thursday afternoon that she will not seek re-election to her position as district court judge of the 20th Judicial District this year.

Tornado Warning
Great Bend Community Theatre wraps up its 2011-12 season with a small miracle: a satire about the lower-class residents of the south – rednecks – that avoids stale cliches and somehow locks in freshness. In "Messiah on the Frigidaire," a series of comic events takes place in Elroy, S.C., at the trailer of Dwayne and Lou Ann Hightower.
WICHITA – The Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., has raised the threat level for severe weather Saturday to 'high' for portions of Kansas and Oklahoma, with officials predicting "a high-end life-threatening event."

Conceived as a way to inspire parents, teachers, and caregivers to take young children outside for physical activity and to learn, StoryWalk® helps build children's interest in reading while encouraging healthy activity for both adults and children. The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier ...

Public Press wins an Excellence in Journalism award for 'Public Schools, Private Money,' in the winter 2014 edition
Public Press wins an Excellence in Journalism award for 'Public Schools, Private Money,' in the winter 2014 edition
What is distinct about the print edition?
The Public Press is, as far as we know, the largest circulation nonprofit newspaper in California. As a community-funded news organization, we pride ourselves on strident independence from the powerful in business, government and other sectors. We are able to go deeper than many mainstream news outlets because we're not focused on maximizing profits.
The special section of the next edition focuses on smart growth. Why did the Public Press decide to report on this issue?
We've seen terms like smart growth bandied about by government planners, academics, developers and activists, but there's little consensus on what these ideas actually mean. Many news outlets have covered individual developments or public meetings, failing to consider the big picture. Bay Area regional planning is becoming very controversial. A team of seven reporters, two graphic designers and two photographers is exploring a region-wide political firestorm that could derail planned transit-oriented developments and walkable communities in all nine Bay Area counties.
How can people support the newspaper?
The Public Press was founded on the example of public broadcasting, which relies primarily on cultivating small donors. We need community support to continue to provide freecoverage of local public affairs on our website and distribute the paper below cost across the region. All individual donations go into developing unique editorial projects that have public impact.
Please consider becoming a member or making a donation, so we can continue to publish public-interest news stories online and in print.
Become a member today! For just $35, your annual membership will include copies of the newspaper, invitations to special member events and other perks. To acknowledge your contribution, we will publish your name in every print edition for one year.
Follow us on Twitter and find us on Facebook for updates about the next print edition.
44 Page St. Suite 504, San Francisco, CA 94102 | (415) 495-7377
The San Francisco Public Press is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. We have received funding from national and local foundations and more than 500 individuals.

Discover what happened to Zellie, Avery, Melody, and Ben!
And meet Penny Black, a girl with a past who can see the future.
From Stacey Wallace Benefiel, the author of the Zellie Wells trilogy, comes a new trilogy set in the Society world.
Penny Black hasn't had it easy. Just about everything you'd expect to happen to a harassed foster-kid turned junkie has happened to Penny. Add in the mysterious power to rewind time, conducting events around her, and it's a wonder she held up on the streets for so many years. Now, at seventeen, the New Society has found her. Finally, Penny is where she belongs. But that doesn't stop the visions, or the need to protect the victims shown to her.
Wyatt Adams is excited and intrigued when his sister Melody assigns him to be Penny's Lookout. Being the youngest, and hopelessly ordinary in the family that created the New Society, has left Wyatt feeling like he has a lot to prove — and Penny is a big deal. She's got abilities that surpass any he's seen before…and pretty much every quality he looks for in a girlfriend, but no one needs to know about that, especially Penny.
*The Penny Black trilogy is a companion to the ZWT and not a continuation of the series.
*Due to language and sexuality, FOUND is recommended for older teens.

An image of a galaxy cluster discovered in the GAMA group catalogue. This is a inverse colour composite of ultraviolet, visible light and infrared images so redder galaxies appear blue and vice-versa. Galaxies in the cluster are highlighted with circles, with the size of the circle proportional to the mass of the galaxy. The colour of the circle indicates the true colour of the galaxy. In this image a mixture of galaxy types are visible, but very few blue (star-forming) galaxies. The brightest galaxy is located at the centre. Credit: GAMA / Aaron Robotham.
A low mass galaxy group (much like the one we live in) discovered in the GAMA group catalogue, again displayed as an inverse colour image with circles indicating the mass and colour of galaxies. Here all the galaxies are very blue, indicating that stars are forming. Credit: GAMA / Aaron Robotham.
The segments show 12-degree wide maps of the positions of the galaxies in the GAMA catalogue. The Earth is at the bottom of each wedge, with the most distant galaxies at the top (at a distance of 6 trillion lightyears). Circles indicate groups included in the catalogue, where larger circles show groups with more members. Credit GAMA / Aaron Robotham.

The American Electric Light Company LLC
The Boss
David Wolff started his career in the antique
world in the early 90's as the Production Manager of
Materials Unlimited. Amongst his responsibilities was
the management of all antique light fixture restorations
for the company's inventory. At the beginning of his
tenure at Materials Unlimited its lighting inventory
consisted of several dozen semi-restored fixtures.
Thirteen years later the inventory consisted of several
hundred fully restored antique light fixtures! The
culmination of his work there being the recognition of
Materials Unlimited by Underwriters Laboratories for
safe incandescent light fixtures.
Throughout the years David saw a demand for
light fixture restoration and repair from the general
public that Materials Unlimited was unable to
accommodate due to its commitment to its own
inventory restoration. Thus, The American Electric
Light Company was born. The AEL Co.takes great
pride in providing top notch service to its customers
and helping to preserve yesteryears light fixtures.
Expect the best from The American Electric Light
Company LLC!

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- A U.S. Treasury Department program brought $31.8 million to Kansas last year, and that number could grow in the future.
The Treasury Offset Program helps states collect debts owed by tax deadbeats and welfare cheats. The Wichita Eagle reports Kansas plans to join a part of the program that helps states recover improperly paid unemployment benefits.
The program intercepts all or part of federal tax refunds or other federal payments to pay debts to the state. It can also garnish vendor payments, part of federal employees' salaries and capture up to 15 percent of a person's Social Security check.
Most of the money Kansas collects through the program is from delinquent child support, which made up $23 million of the $31.8 million sent to the state last year.

Blogging Mentor Monday: Agent Smith
57 comments:
- Imogen said...
Another seat of the pants blogger! Everyone in the blogosphere seems to have blog posts scheduled for weeks ahead. Me? I write them the very day I need them. Yes, bad I know, but it seems to work.
Nice to meet you Agent Smith
- March 19, 2012 at 3:46 AM
- Cristina said...
I'm the same way, I write my posts right before I hit publish.. which come to think of it.. might be the reason my posts aren't all that informative or even coherent at times, LOL
- March 19, 2012 at 4:13 AM
- Brinda said...
Hi LG,
I think blogging should be fun and it sounds like you have a handle on it! I'll have to visit you this week. It's nice to meet you.
- March 19, 2012 at 5:02 AM
- Richard said...
My blog posts are like yours--just whatever is on my mind that day. I do revise my post before publishing them. I want them to be the best I can make them. Sometimes the first draft seems to work just fine; other times, I do some rewriting. Either way, I enjoy it.
- March 19, 2012 at 5:29 AM
- L.G.Smith said...
Ha! Agent Smith. Am I the only one who got completely lost in The Matrix? Probably.
Thanks for having me as a guest on your blog, Emily. I love that word ponder. You're right, a writer can't ask for much more than that from a reader. Thanks again!
- March 19, 2012 at 5:53 AM
- Meredith said...
What a great interview! It's so funny how almost everyone starts a blog because they think they need one, but so many people keep blogging because they develop relationships and find out how awesome this community really is. Love it!
- March 19, 2012 at 6:26 AM
- Angela Cothran said...
Agent Smith :) It is such a mysterious title. I sounds super professional and stuff!!!
I love to read spur of the moment posts. They have an energy all there own :)
- March 19, 2012 at 6:43 AM
- Morgan said...
Love Agent Smith's reason for blogging today ;) Too true!
Fab interview, Emily... Thanks for sharing L.G. With us!
- March 19, 2012 at 7:05 AM
- Tyrean Martinson said...
Great interview! And I loved the sunglasses comparison! I'm also a seat of the pants blogger . . .too much so . . and I'm trying to at least get a day ahead.
- March 19, 2012 at 7:15 AM
- Coleen Patrick said...
I write my blog posts the same way and for the same reason. The topic has to be something I feel something for in the moment. :)
Great interview!
- March 19, 2012 at 8:07 AM
- Cassie Mae said...
Oh I'm in love with Agent Smith's blog too! :D And I'm a fly by the seat of my pants blogger too, but I schedule them out so I can overanalyze whether or not to post it for real, lol. :)
- March 19, 2012 at 8:14 AM
- Jaye Robin Brown said...
Fun interview! I'm excited about doing A to Z for the first time this year.
And I'm glad to hear other people fly by the seat of their pants when blogging.
- March 19, 2012 at 8:20 AM
- Leigh Covington said...
hahaha. This is awesome! I love it. Heck yeah - take the Best Selling Author! Fabulous. And I love that you blog for the relationships. Best thing ever. I love the people! Including you two!
- March 19, 2012 at 8:22 AM
- Suze said...
'Now I blog because of the relationships I've developed with people and because I genuinely love interacting with other writers.'
We heart L.G.
And for the recs, she's way too pretty to be compared to Agent Smith.

- Shiela Calderón Blankemeier said...
Great interview! Will check out agent smith right now :)
- March 19, 2012 at 8:54 AM

K, I love that she writes by the seat of her pants, because I'm the same way...I guess people can tell that. But LG sounds freaking awesome. I'm off to fan her.
- March 19, 2012 at 9:07 AM
- Jolene Perry said...
Blogging is ALL about people :-D
Writerly peeps are the best!
Thanks for another awesome interview!!!
- March 19, 2012 at 9:12 AM
- QueendSheena said...
L.G. Smith is cool by my standards. I too started blogging to get my voice/work out there. But now I keep it up also because of the people I've met who I can only keep up a relationship with through the blogs we/I post online.
Blogging is a special experience and it's great that Emily introduces us to other bloggers. Never stop Blogging Mentor Monday.
- March 19, 2012 at 10:08 AM
- Alex J. Cavanaugh said...
You're blogging now for the same reason I do - this awesome community. And I think I found your blog last year during the Challenge.
- March 19, 2012 at 10:13 AM
- Ciara said...
I love LG's blog. I'm trying to become a more regular follower. I'd been gone for a few various reasons for awhile. I'll be visiting her today for sure.
- March 19, 2012 at 10:29 AM
- Carol Kilgore said...
Blogging is totally about relationships for me, too. I just came from your blog :)
Hi, Emily!
- March 19, 2012 at 10:32 AM
- J.L. Campbell said...
I'm with LG on not being a meticulous planner. Most of the time I start wondering what I'll write about on my way to work and by the time I get there, I know what I'm going to write.
- March 19, 2012 at 10:36 AM
- Susan Flett Swiderski said...
Great interview. I think most of us who started a blog to "establish a platform" end up staying because of the other bloggers we meet. It still surprises me how real connections can be with people we'll most likely never meet face to face.
- March 19, 2012 at 11:37 AM
- Michael Offutt, Tebow Cult Initiate said...
L.G. is my hero. She hobknobs with agents at conferences and posts all the elevator chit-chat for me to pick apart and lambast on my blog. She's also wealthy (maybe she has the Kardashians on speed dial). She's going to England soon to have tea with the queen and play polo with William.
Yeah I go there to feel important. Great interview.
- March 19, 2012 at 12:09 PM
- Jenny S. Morris said...
I must confess I'm like L.G. My post are usually not scheduled weeks in advance. Some of the posts I get the most comments on are the ones I do at the last minute.
Going over to follow L.G. blog.
- March 19, 2012 at 12:19 PM
- Alleged Author said...
My posts are also written the night before unless they are interviews. Keeps it more lively, huh? Great interview!
- March 19, 2012 at 1:02 PM
- maine character said...
Thanks for this - LG's definitely one of my favorite bloggers. She cares about her readers, and she has just the right combination of smarts and snark.
- March 19, 2012 at 1:03 PM
- Clarissa Draper said...
I often plan my blog posts that way too. Nice to meet a new blogger... and I like your glasses.
- March 19, 2012 at 1:07 PM
- Donna K. Weaver said...
A to Z last year was SO much fun! I've already scheduled a couple of blog posts for this year.
Great interview.
- March 19, 2012 at 1:14 PM
- L.G.Smith said...
See, I told you I have the funniest, smartest friends on the internet. :))
- March 19, 2012 at 1:21 PM
- Chantele Sedgwick said...
Yay for a fun interview! I usually write my blog posts when I sit down at the computer. :) Sometimes I'll plan them, but rarely.
Heading over to L.G.'s blog now! :D
- March 19, 2012 at 1:26 PM
- Emily R. King said...
Wowsa! Look at the love, L.G. I knew I wasn't alone. :)
- March 19, 2012 at 1:32 PM
- Lynda R Young said...
Fabulous interview, Emily, and Agent LG wasn't bad either ;)
I used to be organised with my blog posts but not so much anymore. And yes I blog for the friends now too.
- March 19, 2012 at 2:28 PM
- Angela Brown said...
Loved the interview, Emily and L.G. - erm - Agent Smith :-)
I have agree regarding the posts. Unless it's a guest post where someone is coming to hang out at my "blog place", I don't really schedule the posts. This A to Z blogging challenge has me giving the "schedule posts" think a try. But even then, I'm sort of flying by the seat of my pants with each letter I reach.
- March 19, 2012 at 2:37 PM
- M Pax said...
There is a slight resemblance... Although LG is better looking.
I don't always have my posts planned either. Especially now that I'm trying to run two blogs. Agh! I'm nuts. I always love visiting Bards & Prophets.
Waving at Emily.
- March 19, 2012 at 2:37 PM
- Stacy S. Jensen said...
Thanks for sharing your process. I plan and I randomly post. Sometimes, my mood changes, so I don't want to post what I had scheduled. For the A to Z challenge, I'm going to stick to a schedule. Of course, I haven't finished my posts yet. April is fast approaching.
- March 19, 2012 at 3:42 PM
- The Golden Eagle said...
I write a lot of my posts (though this year my A-Z posts I'm scheduling) right before I post them, so to me, the night previous seems much more organized. :P
Great interview!
- March 19, 2012 at 3:47 PM
- Jay Noel said...
Been blogging for 7 years now, and I don't know any other way to blog than by the seat of my pants. Makes my blog more current, I think.
I just don't have the time to plan out stuff either!

Another fun interview. Thanks.

Hi Emily and LG!
Fun and informative post on blogging. Thanks for sharing!

- Jessie Humphries said...
I am the worst procrastinator for posts. I think about them and even have sentences pre-written in my head, but the actual post doesn't always come through until the deadline.
- March 19, 2012 at 4:52 PM
- Kelley said...
My posts aren't scheduled in advance either!
nice to meet you Agent Smith! :)
- March 19, 2012 at 7:51 PM
- tfwalsh said...
I'd like to pre-do my blogs in advance, but just don't have the time so nice to see others don't plan:)
- March 19, 2012 at 9:35 PM
- Talli Roland said...
Yay for bloggers who wing it! I often don't know until I sit and start writing. I love that - so different from revising, which is where I'm at now.
- March 20, 2012 at 6:14 AM
- elizabeth seckman said...
I keep planning to have great blog planning, but I wing it too.
- March 20, 2012 at 6:41 AM
- Stephen Tremp said...
I generally write the blogs just before I post them. The A to Z Challenge will be different. Even with my blog tour I selected topics and wrote them as I went along.
- March 20, 2012 at 7:29 AM

Fantastic interview! I'm excited for A-Z as well. Did it last year and I'm planning on doing it again. Now off to visit your blog!

One year, really? I thought it had been longer... Well, LG, I must have found you right after you started.
Here's to breaks and blogging about what's on your mind!

- Sangu Mandanna said...
I'm always in awe of people who have all their blog posts organized and scheduled way in advance. I'm very much a write-when-something-occurs-to-you blogger. :-)
Great interview!

- Jordan McMakin said...
Fun interview, Emily! I especially enjoy both yours and LG's blogs :)
- March 20, 2012 at 1:20 PM
- Theresa Milstein said...
Hi, Emily. Nice to see LG Smith here.
LG, I don't plan my posts in advance either. Only if someone asks to promote something on my blog. And I'm doing the A to Z too!
- March 20, 2012 at 3:22 PM

I thought I was the only one who wrote posts on the day :-)
Thanks for introducing me to another new blogger :-)

Great interview. Agent Smith sounds so mysterious and secretive; I love it. I am happy to meet another "by the seat of the pants" blogger. I am on my way now to check out her blog. Thanks for the into, Emily. I am also happy to know another A to Z promoter who met many friends last year. I am hoping to do just that this April.

The vast majority of smokers who quit succeed in doing so by themselves. This raises an interesting dilemma for planned treatments both drug-based and behavioral. It also exposes a more general issue of supposed help givers doing the opposite.
In an earlier post, I pointed out that of the planned, or assisted, approaches to smoking cessation, aversion therapy is by far the most affective even though it is almost unknown and very rarely practiced. (In aversion therapy, the client learns to associate smoking with feeling nauseous). A reader recently informed me that the one major treatment center using this approach has gone out of business.
I neglected to point out that people quitting by themselves are more successful than any program. Indeed an Australian study of patients at 1,000 family practices found that cold turkey accounted for 88 percent of all successful long-term quitters and that it was twice as effective as pharmacology (1). Similar results were produced in U.S. studies. Such findings expose problems with quitting programs – including counseling.

Topic Outline
The term ischemic cardiomyopathy has been used to describe significantly impaired left ventricular function (left ventricular ejection fraction ≤35 to 40 percent) that results from coronary artery disease. Despite the common clinical use of the term ischemic cardiomyopathy, ventricular dysfunction caused by coronary disease is not a cardiomyopathy as defined by the 2006 American Heart Association and 2008 European Society of Cardiology statements. (See "Definition and classification of the cardiomyopathies".)
There are two main pathogenetic mechanisms, which are importantly distinguished by the possibility of corrective therapy:
●Irreversible loss of myocardium due to prior myocardial infarction with ventricular remodeling. Recovery of myocardial function in such patients cannot be achieved by coronary revascularization since the infarcted tissue is not viable.
●At least partially reversible loss of contractility due to reduced function of ischemic but still viable myocardium, which can be detected on imaging studies. Hibernating myocardium is typically used interchangeably with viable myocardium. However, by strict definition, the term hibernating myocardium refers to contractile dysfunction in viable myocardium that improves after revascularization or perhaps medical therapy [1]. Stunned myocardium refers to transient postischemic dysfunction and can coexist with hibernating myocardium [2]. (See "Clinical syndromes of stunned or hibernating myocardium".)
This topic will emphasize the definition, incidence, and therapy of reversible ischemic cardiomyopathy. Diagnostic issues related to hibernating viable myocardium are discussed in detail separately. (See "Evaluation of hibernating myocardium" and "Dobutamine stress echocardiography in the evaluation of hibernating myocardium" and "Assessment of myocardial viability by nuclear imaging in coronary heart disease".)

The District of Columbia is the top region in the nation for LEED-certified commerical and institutional green buildings per capita, according to a recent Top 10 list from the USGBC. Based on U.S. 2010 Census information, the District averages 25 square feet of LEED-certified space per capita. Nevada is the leading state, with 10.92 square feet per capita. The top 10 states, plus D.C., for 2010 are:
1. D.C., 25.15 square feet • 2. Nevada, 10.92 square feet • 3. New Mexico, 6.35 square feet • 4. New Hampshire, 4.49 square feet • 5. Oregon, 4.07 square feet • 6. South Carolina, 3.19 square feet • 7. Washington, 3.16 square feet • 8. Illinois, 3.09 square feet • 9. Arkansas, 2.90 square feet • 10. Colorado, 2.85 square feet • 11. Minnesota, 2.77 square feet
According the USGBC, more than 40,000 projects are currently participating in the commercial and institutional LEED systems, which account for more than 7.9 billion total square feet of construction in all 50 U.S. states and in 117 countries. Of the projects reviewed for the per-capita list, commercial office buildings were the most common project type, while for-profit organizations were the most-common owners.

Rape and abortion have become major flashpoints this election cycle because they are where two incompatible views of women's place collide.
Mitt Romney and Richard Mourdock are doubtless both hoping we're nearing the end of the news cycle in which the Indiana U.S. Senate candidate's remarks that pregnancies from rape are "something that God intended to happen" exploded into the national conversation. But if Democrats have any say in the matter, that won't be the case, as the president and his campaign have highlighted the remarks repeatedly in an attempt to create a wedge issue for women voters 11 days before an election that could be decided by the size of the gender gap.
Discussing his opposition to abortion even in cases of rape and incest while speaking at debate against Democrat Joe Donnelly, who also opposes abortion, though with exceptions, Mourdock said Tuesday night: "I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize life is that gift from God, and I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen."
He went on to use his opposition to all abortions, except to save the life of the mother, as a wedge to attack Obamacare for impinging on "religious freedom" by requiring insurance to cover contraception for women. Mourdock, the state's treasurer, beat incumbent Senator Richard Lugar in the Republican primary this past spring, and he's since received the support of both Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney, which he has featured prominently on his Facebook page.
On Monday, Romney released a TV advertisement endorsing Mourdock -- the only such video he has cut for a Senate campaign since being nominated as the Republican presidential standard-bearer.
Mourdock has tried to walk back his remarks to some extent while defending his hard-line anti-abortion views. "Are you trying to suggest that somehow I think God ordained or pre-ordained rape? No, I don't think that anyone could suggest that. That's a sick, twisted -- no, that's not even close to what I said," he told reporters immediately following the debate, according to the Evansville Courier & Press.
"It is a fundamental part of my faith that God gives us life. God determines when life begins," Mourdock said. "I believe in an almighty God who makes those calls. ... There are some things in life that are above my pay grade."
The Romney campaign has tried to distance itself from the Indiana conservative without alienating its own base, which has left it in the awkward position of disavowing Mourdock's views without in any way stepping away from him. "Gov. Romney disagrees with Richard Mourdock, and Mr. Mourdock's comments do not reflect Gov. Romney's views," Romney spokesperson Andrea Saul said. "We disagree on the policy regarding exceptions for rape and incest but still support him."
Summarizing the views of many frustrated pro-choice women, comedian Tina Fey told an audience at a benefit for the Center for Reproductive Rights Wednesday night: "if I have to listen to one more gray-faced man with a two-dollar haircut explain to me what rape is, I'm gonna lose my mind!"
While the Democrats push the issue to turn out pro-choice women -- President Obama tweeted about it three times Wednesday and told Jay Leno "I don't know how these guys come up with these ideas.... rape is rape," then returned to the topic Thursday in remarks and in tweets (at right) -- and the Romney campaign stands by its anti-abortion man out of its own need for the anti-abortion base to turn out on November 6, it's worth taking a step back to examine what it is we're really talking about and why it is that rape and abortion have become such flashpoints during campaign 2012.
* * *
Coerced and not entirely voluntary mating have occurred throughout human history. I had a friend many years ago whose mother was a prize of war in a national conflict; it made for complicated family dynamics. But one sees rape, forced marriage and war go hand in hand throughout the ages, including our own; it is another form of conquest to create the next generation in your image from the bodies of the conquered. Violating women is a way of subjugating a population -- sowing fear among the women, blocking the men from access to the future, and rupturing and weakening all the social bonds that made up the society that fought and lost. But for this to work there must also be children of rape. "If one group wants to control another they often do it by impregnating women of the other community because they see it as a way of destroying the opposing community," former head of the Gender Unit at Amnesty International Gita Sahgal has explained. Women must learn to love the image of their conquerors written in the faces of the children they suckle, and to despise themselves, and their weakness. If captives come to identify with those who hold them, it is only a tale as old as our ability to survive by orienting our beings around whoever has power over us.
This is one reason Missouri Republican U.S. Senate candidate Todd Akin's mid-August comments that "if it's a legitimate rape the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down" set off such a firestorm -- his beliefs showed deep biological and historical ignorance about the way rape-created pregnancies have been used to transform and dominate whole populations. But in his denial of the possibility of rape-created pregnancy he was acknowledging the truth that would erupt again into public view with Mourdock's remarks: Post-rape pregnancies are where blanket anti-abortion views become de facto support for coercive mating and the legally sanctioned denial of agency to women not only on the question of whether to have a child, but who the child's father should be.
"If I have to listen to one more gray-faced man with a two-dollar haircut explain to me what rape is, I'm gonna lose my mind!"
Outside of the context of war, rape historically has been something more akin to a property crime than a crime against women per se -- the injured party was the husband or father to whom the woman belonged, and recompense for the crime was made to him for the injury to his standing and damage to the marital or social value of the woman. It was also an honor crime, and in large parts of the world rape continues to be seen as one for which women bear primary responsibility. As such being raped is viewed as a female sexual transgression that creates a justification or even obligation for male relatives and community members to shun the assaulted, or, rarely, even avenge familial honor by killing victims.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is often called liquidation bankruptcy because you wipe out all (or most) of your debts and in return the bankruptcy trustee liquidates your property to pay your creditors. However, because the trustee cannot take exempt property (property that state or federal bankruptcy law decrees as protected), most Chapter 7 bankruptcy filers keep all or most of their property.
In 2005 Congress changed bankruptcy law so that not everyone qualifies for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. If you earn more than the median income in your state, you'll have to take something called the "means test" to see if you are eligible for Chapter 7.
Even if you do qualify, Chapter 7 isn't the best option for everyone. If you have lots of equity in your home, the trustee may sell it. And if you are behind in mortgage payments or your car loan note, Chapter 7 bankruptcy is not usually the best way to save your home or car.

Brightcove Announces New Services To Transform The Video Encoding Workflow
Brightcove (NASDAQ: BCOV), a leading global provider of cloud content services, today at IBC 2012 announced significant new services to accelerate and streamline the video encoding workflow for on-demand and live content. Zencoder Instant Play™ is a new capability that enables on-demand video playback to start just seconds after the file upload process begins, greatly accelerating the video publishing process. Zencoder Live Cloud Transcoding provides a powerful alternative to costly on-location live encoding hardware and dedicated uplink bandwidth.
"Video professionals have been conditioned to accept transcoding delays for on-demand content publishing and costly on-premise infrastructure investments for high quality live streaming," said Jon Dahl, vice president of encoding services at Brightcove. "We are shattering the status quo with these new capabilities, using the cloud to nearly eliminate the transcoding-to-playback delay and make it possible to cost-effectively deliver high quality multi-screen live streaming."
New Instant Play applies live streaming methodology to file-based transcoding and takes advantage of parallel processing in the cloud to enable media playback within seconds of commencing transcoding. With Instant Play, files are transcoded while the file is being uploaded, and most importantly, content is streamed for playback before the entire file is transcoded. Publishers of breaking news content, sports highlights, political commentary and other types of time-sensitive content can immediately publish video and get a head start on breaking news cycles to capture viewer interest. Instant Play, combined with the efficiencies of a cloud-based solution, enables organizations to achieve instant scale and greater operational efficiencies than previously allowed by existing hardware and software encoding solutions.
The Live Cloud Transcoding service eliminates the complexity and cost associated with encoding and streaming live events to multiple screens. Currently, streaming live events to multiple devices necessitates costly hardware or software encoders, requiring significant operational expertise. The complexity and number of encoders required for live streaming video is multiplied when adaptive bitrate technologies, such as HLS, are used. When publishing multiple encoded streams, as with adaptive bitrate streams, uplink bandwidth becomes a bottleneck, driving up the cost of on-location Internet connectivity.

Here is what the press has to say about JotNot.

Chris Pirillo wrote a great article on JotNot!
I don't know how I lived without this App before. It's a no-brainer – you really need this App if you have an iPhone. You'll be surprised to find out how much you're going to end up using it, and how much time it can save you in the long run.
- Chris Pirillo
I've owned the app for a while and have successfully used it to capture documents for posterity.
- Steven Sande, TUAW
Snap a steady picture of a document and then outline the area you want to scan — JotNot enhances the image and turns it into a document to be e-mailed. I've found that if you take the picture carefully, JotNot can capture a document as well as a fax machine can. And, of course, it's much easier to carry around.
- Farhad Manjoo, The New York Times
I am amazed at how readable the processed images are.
- Sindya Bhanoo, The Industry Standard
JotNot is a nifty new application that just went live on Apple's App Store that allows users to take photographs of documents using their phones and runs them through an advanced filter that makes them much easier to read.
- Jason Kincaid, TechCruch, March 17, 2009
JotNot does a decent job of making scraps of information more legible and easier to store for future reference, and can be a useful addition for iPhone users who already rely on other applications for OCR, e-mail, and image-sharing options.
- Kate Dohe, Macworld.com
JotNot is a solid all around scanner app for iPhone that makes scanning documents and sharing them with others on the road a piece of cake.
Since the iPhone is adept at transforming itself into all manner of useful appliances with the help of apps, the folks at MobiTech 3000 have created JotNot – the world's first program designed to render obsolete both Wacom-wielding snobs and flatbed scanners alike.
Although JotNot is a really simple app, I definitely enjoyed using it and can see its usefulness. Yes you can just use your built in camera app to capture images, and yes there are apps available to edit images but why use 2 apps when you can get all those features and more in 1. Also, in the business world you look a lot less professional sending a jpg of a document rather than a PDF. Rating:

Q. I have a question about man only dying once. There are many who have died and been brought back to life. Even Jesus brought people who where dead back to life, so wouldn't they have to die again? Which would mean they died more than once, wouldn't it?
A. There are 8 accounts in the Bible of people who were raised from the dead. They are the widow of Zarapeth's son, raised by Elijah in 1 Kings 17:7-24, Jairus' daughter in Matthew 9:18-26, the widow of Nain's son in Luke 7:11-17, Lazarus in John 11:38-44, all by Jesus, Tabitha in Acts 9:40 by Peter, and Eutychus by Paul in Acts 20:7-12. In addition, although the Bible doesn't specifically confirm this, I believe both Jonah and and Paul were brought back from death by God. Each one was meant as a demonstration of the Lord's power, and all of them subsequently died again.
No one knows how many others have been raised from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit during the Church age. But they are all exceptions to the statement in Hebrews 9:27 that it is given for man to die once and then face judgment, and do not negate the validity of that principle.

Reeder: No longer an outsider, Quinn defends status quo
By Scott Reeder firstname.lastname@example.com September 9, 2013 9:50PM
Scott Reeder
Updated: October 11, 2013 6:23AM
Some politicians make better pot-stirrers than problem solvers.
For most of Pat Quinn's political career, he has played the role of rabble rouser. He was the consummate outsider taking on the political establishment.
In 1980, he successfully led the campaign for a constitutional amendment to reduce the size of the Illinois House by a third.
In protest of a 1978 legislative pay raise, Quinn, whose birthday shares a date with the Boston Tea Party, inspired about 40,000 Illinoisans to mail tea bags to then-Gov. James Thompson.
He founded the Citizens Utility Board in 1983 in response to a perceived coziness between public utility companies and government.
Now, Quinn has become a champion of corporate welfare himself.
Sears, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and many other politically connected corporations have been the beneficiaries of the governor's largesse with our tax dollars.
For most of his career, Quinn has burnished the image of himself as a populist, jousting with the political establishment.
But like the old Glen Campbell song goes, "There has been a load of compromising on the road to (his) horizon."
Today, Quinn is the political establishment. Rather than railing against the powers that be, Quinn is defending the status quo. The flip-flopping examples are numerous.
In the 1990s, Quinn pushed for a constitutional amendment to create term limits for legislators. But the Illinois Supreme Court threw out the proposal before it could go to the voters.
This past week, however, Quinn came out against a new plan to create term limits for lawmakers, a plan being pushed by Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner.
Quinn's handling of the issue these days shows how the role of political insider fits him about as well as a cheap suit.
You also can look no further than his impotence in pushing for pension reform. His lackluster proposals have gone nowhere.
The best we have gotten from the Quinn administration are plans to kick the state's $100 billion pension funding crisis farther down the road. That's hardly a record to build a re-election campaign on.
To be fair, Quinn's case is hardly unique.
I've seen it countless times in my 25 years covering politics — where outsiders get elected or appointed and suddenly become insiders, where would-be reformers become defenders of the status quo.
That said, Rauner's push to impose term limits on state representatives and senators comes at an awkward time for Quinn.
By the time Quinn finishes this term, he will have served six years as governor, and he's running for another four-year term.
That makes it difficult for him to support a constitutional amendment that would limit lawmakers to serving fewer years than he is seeking as governor.
Rauner's full proposal also would make it harder to override a governor's veto by changing the majority needed from three-fifths to two-thirds.
And he wants to limit legislators to eight years in office, cut the size of the Senate from 59 members to 41 and expand the House from 118 to 123.
Quinn spokesman Dave Blanchette said the governor opposes the measure because he doesn't believe the House should be expanded by five people.
It would seem a small point on which to oppose term limits, especially since Quinn was once the cause's most vocal supporter.
But then again, he's an insider now.
And that says it all.
