U.S. govt calls for end to dairy weight loss ads – bout friggin' time!
For anyone trying to lose weight and lead a healthier life, I applaud you. How confusing and frustrating it must be to hear from multiple different sources how all these different diets and supplements work, yet none do. I truly feel that there is no magic 'diet.' I believe that you must change your diet (the way you eat all the time) all together in order to really accomplish anything with regards to better health and weight loss. That being said, I am so happy that the current claims of "consuming more dairy promotes weight loss" is being blown out of the water. There was never, nor will will there ever be scientific evidence to support this claim. C'mon people, think about it…cows milk was is designed for bovines, not for humans (human milk is designed for humans, but that's a whole other blog…). Seriously, cow's milk was designed to nourish baby cows, designed to take them to some weight nearing 1,000lbs or more by the age of 18mo (correct me if I am wrong, I know it's something along those lines). So how then can it be so beneficial in weight loss attempts for humans? How can it in fact be healthy at all? I'm talking pesticides, antibiotics and hormones aside here. I'm just addressing the chemical make-up alone and what this milk is designed to do? Yet we pump our bodies and the bodies of our children full of it because someone else says it's good for our bones, our teeth, and weight loss? Yeh, I just don't follow. And it burns me up that the FDA wouldn't allow the breastfeeding commercials to air due to "flawed studies" but the dairy industry has been running these ads for years…
U.S. govt calls for end to dairy weight loss ads Fri May 11, 9:24 PM ET
U.S. dairy producers will have to stop pitching the idea that drinking more milk spurs weight loss, the Federal Trade Commission told a physician's advocacy group in a letter made public on Friday.
Calling it a "victory for consumers," the Physicians for Responsible Medicine said two national dairy advertising campaigns overseen by the U.S. Department of Agriculture will stop claiming that dairy products cause weight loss because "such claims are not supported by existing scientific research."
Greg Miller, senior vice president for the National Dairy Council, said the industry stands "behind our weight loss messages and the science supporting those messages."
But Miller said that at the request of USDA, the industry would shift its messages "to emphasize the role of dairy in weight maintenance" instead of weight loss.
USDA could not be immediately reached for comment on the FTC letter.
The doctors' organization cited a May 3 letter from FTC, which told the group that following discussions with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it would "discontinue all advertising and other marketing activities involving weight loss claims until further research provides stronger more conclusive evidence of an association between dairy consumption and weight loss."
In its April 2005 petition to the FTC, the advocacy group charged that the dairy industry was misleading the public with its high profile, celebrity-filled marketing campaign that suggested consuming milk and other dairy products helped consumers lose weight.
"Milk and cheese are more likely to pack on pounds than help people slim down," said Dan Kinburn, PCRM's general counsel. "This case calls into question other advertising claims made by the industry, especially the notion that milk builds strong bones. Evidence shows it does nothing of the kind."
Trinity Jade says her ABCs
What a happy day! While everyone else is out celebrating yet another drunken holiday, I am celebrating something else. No Cinco de Mayo here…but the celebration is just as, if not more real. Today Trinity said her ABCs. All by herself! There have been days prior to this one that she got 1/2 way or 3/4 of the way through the alphabet but today marks the day she said them all. Down to the L, M, N, O…every last letter! As you can imagine I am beaming with pride. There is video footage soon to come. Keep checking back for a link!
Here's some video of my sleepy girl reciting the alphabet in the car after a long day at Daytona Beach…http://s52.photobucket.com/albums/g19/SixStringMama/?action=view¤t=SayingABCs2.flv
Seventh Generation Natural Glass & Surface Cleaner
A lot of people ask me why on Earth I spend more money to buy natural and non-toxic cleaners. What's the big deal? There are a few different reasons why I do what I do. The decision came to me when I had my first child. I didn't feel right having anything in my home that said,"Contact Poison Control Center if…" It just wasn't worth the risk for me when I knew that there were safer alternatives.
Today my 2yr old insisted on helping me clean our sliding glass doors. I had no problem letting her spray, wipe and touch our glass and surface cleaner. There was no concern on my part at all. Anyone with a small child can tell you how difficult house cleaning can be with someone right under your feet. When I sprayed the glass door and watched the excess spray float in her direction I never batted an eye. What a relief. I have too many more important things to think about than whether or not my glass cleaner is going to make my daughter break out in hives or cause her temporary blindness.
I personally recommend Seventh Generation Natural Glass & Surface Cleaner to anyone looking to make the switch to a healthier alternative. It works great! Even on glass and surfaces that has been exposed to smoke and/or dust for an extended period of time.
As time has progressed, I have created quite a collection of natural cleaners and come to realize that not only are they safer for ourselves and our families, but they are safer for our Earth as well. If every household in the U.S. replaced just one bottle of 32oz solvent-based glass and surface cleaner with solvent-free Seventh Generation Natural Glass & Surface Cleaner, we could prevent 11 million pounds of Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs) from being released into the environment.
For a list of Volatile Organic Chemical Contaminants visit http://www.dep.state.fl.us/water/drinkingwater/vol_con.htm
If you are concerned about the increase in cost for making the switch, consider starting a local co-op with quality products for natural living (at wholesale pricing) at http://recipes.frontiercoop.com/
Prolacta Bioscience Introduces First Human Milk Fortifier Made from Human Milk
How incredibly amazing! I think it it truly wonderful that our country is finally recognizing the dangers behind supplementing with non human milk. I feel it is vital that all babies, especially premature babies receive mothers milk and now mothers of preemies don't have to hear the funk about how their milk doesn't have enough protein to help the at risk child. It's actually more important that preemies receive their mothers milk because they are at risk. And hopefully soon there will be no more instances of mothers walking into the NICU to see their child being artificially fed because they weren't "making enough milk" or because the caloric value wasn't great enough for the child. The breastfeeding community now has more support and recognition…now everyone else needs to jump on the wagon and support this health related issue.
Who's really making the controversy here?
"Making milk public controversy"
By: Charles Winokoor, business writer
So there I was grocery shopping the other day when, just as I reached for a quart of skim milk, I noticed the strangest thing.Women – mothers, to be exact – began dropping to the floor and breast-feeding their babies. Hurrying out of the dairy section, I found myself surrounded by pet supplies, but again was confronted with a surrealistic sight: Unsupervised canines and tabbies relieving themselves willy nilly, and then sauntering off to leave the mess for the night crew to clean up. Get out now, I told myself, as the sweat trickled down my brow. And wouldn't you know it, just as I scurried past the Health & Beauty aisle I spied a group of men, shirts off, nonchalantly spraying and rolling their underarms with the deodorizer of their choice. Decorum precludes me from detailing what I witnessed in the place where they sell the Charmin. Knocking over a shopping cart with a child's seat, I ran into the parking lot and headed for my car to make a getaway. As I fumbled for my key, I realized it was too late; I was surrounded.
Waking up in bed, I took stock of my nightmare. What in the world had
inspired my subconscious to unleash such nocturnal torment?
Then it came to me. It was nothing more mysterious than this week's story
about a Hingham mom who managed to cause a stir by breast-feeding her infant
in the middle of a store.
Last Friday, Brockton cardiologist Dr. Melissa Tracy, while shopping in the South Hingham iParty store, dropped to the floor and began breast-feeding her ostensibly starving 2-month-old child. "Rather than let him become hysterical, I sat down on the floor and breast-fed him," Tracy told the Boston Herald. What happened next, she said, caused her to feel humiliated. The store manager, a regular Darth Vader it seems, had the gall to admonish her. "He stood over me and said 'You can't do that here,' " she was quoted. "I've never felt that badly before." Feeling emotionally scarred, Tracy did the honorable and proper thing: She ratted out the iParty blue meanie to his corporate superiors – who issued a knee-jerk, please-don't-hit-me mea culpa, faster than CBS Radio and MSNBC gave Don Imus the bum's rush. What she's failed to mention, either in print or on TV, is why she was so compelled to plop to the floor instead of walking to the ladies room. Would she have jeopardized her child's welfare, his very life, if she had simply made the effort? Or was she more interested in making a point about who she is and what she thinks she represents? During a TV interview, her husband said in his native Germany breast-feeding in public is an accepted practice and one that is
"not vulgar." Not vulgar for sure – but how about annoying? Not the act of breast-feeding, mind you, but the behavior of well-educated parents who want to impose their version of an enlightened society upon the rest of us, without regard to our
sensibilities. That sort of selfish, guerilla mentality is not just inconsiderate to those
of us backward Americans who are not used to seeing babies suckling while we're shopping for party supplies or dog food, it's also unfair to the companies whose employees are only trying to do the right thing. Now, if any business – be it retail chain, a local independent store or a car dealership – announces a policy explicitly allowing open breast-feeding then that's their prerogative. But one also has to ponder how this type of
adult-baby behavior will eventually affect the child. No wonder there's a legion of kids nowadays who have grown up thinking they're extra-special, entitled and oh-so-superior; after all, it's been imbedded into their id since they were fed mother's milk. This whole silly episode reminds me, in a way, of the case of the "flying imams," six religious Muslims who were removed from a flight last November after they insisted on standing up in the plane for evening prayers. They knew exactly what they were doing. They wanted publicity and they got it, in spades. That's not to say the good doctor from Brockton intended, ahead of time, to use her breast-feeding as a publicity stunt to teach the rest of us a good lesson. From what I've read and heard, she comes across as a decent, sincere individual. What I do suggest to her and other mothers who act rashly, and then condemn anyone who complains, is to grow up before your child does. And next time you go shopping with your infant in your arms, try bringing along a baby bottle.
Charles Winokoor is the business writer for the Taunton Daily Gazette.
Dear Charles,
You are brave man to have included your e-mail address in your "business article." That or you are just plain stupid, I am leaning towards the latter. I absolutely loathed your comparison of feeding an infant in a grocery store to animals urinating up and down the pet food aisles. I'm following you here with regard that both urine and breastmilk are in fact bodily fluids. But considering that one is used to nourish a child through its infancy (and beyond) and the other is waste matter excreted by the kidneys, I'm not really seeing the connection in your comparison. I am also not seeing the connection between mothers and infants in a grocery store and dogs and cats in a grocery store. Maybe you were unaware that women and infants are in fact permitted into grocery stores and permitted by law (in MANY states) to breastfeed in any public place that they are allowed to be. Maybe you are unaware that only service animals that DO NOT "relieve themselves willy nilly, and then saunter off to leave the mess for the night crew to clean up," are permitted in these stores as well. But sure, compare the breastfeeding mother to an animal relieving itself in the middle of a store –
Once again, I am having trouble establishing the connection between grown, shirtless men engaging in personal hygiene routines in public and mothers feeding their children. This comparison is less offensive yes, but still as far fetched as you calling this a "business article." And secondly, I am willing to bet my milk-makers that if this mother you are attacking was shirtless, you wouldn't have complained one bit about what she was doing with her breasts (provided there wasn't a feeding child on the other end). As ignorant as you obviously are, I still can't let this slide -
Now your comment about what was going on in the aisle where Charmin toilet paper is sold was completely out of line. Somethings are just better left unsaid, as you obviously know because you only had the nerve to imply that defecating in the middle of a grocery store is equivalent to nursing a child. For this one, I'll just be honest…YOU'RE AN ASS.
If seeing a mother feed her child in the way that was intended by nature causes so much of an upset in your life that you in fact have nightmares from it, then you should certainly reevaluate your mental health. There are highly qualified individuals who can help you with this. Or you could just come to Central, Fl, call me up and I can slap you in your face a few times -whatever works for you :)
"Last Friday, Brockton cardiologist Dr. Melissa Tracy, while shopping in the
South Hingham iParty store, dropped to the floor and began breast-feeding
her ostensibly starving 2-month-old child." Okay Charles, do you even know what ostensibly means? Are you implying that a 2 month old child has ulterior motives to crying out in hunger? Oh that's right, let me guess…maybe the child cried out in hunger but was really just trying "to impose their version of an enlightened society upon the rest of us, without regard to our sensibilities. " Who knows?
"That sort of selfish, guerilla mentality is not just inconsiderate to those
of us backward Americans who are not used to seeing babies suckling while
we're shopping for party supplies or dog food, it's also unfair to the
companies whose employees are only trying to do the right thing." Again Chuck – not sure that guerilla is anywhere near appropriate here:
|a member of an irregular armed force that fights a stronger force by sabotage and harassment
While I am certain that this cardiologist had every intention of making you "backward Americans" (as you so accurately labeled yourselves) uncomfortable, I assure you that just because you aren't used to seeing women feed their children in the manner which was intended, that does not make it any less natural or appropriate. Furthermore, if it makes you uncomfortable to see an infant eat, than again I highly suggest seeing someone who can help you overcome your sexualized perception of what is in fact not at all a sexual organ. Or maybe it isn't that the breast has been sexualized in America that makes you quiver at the sight of an infant nursing. Maybe it's your own insecurity in your ability to do something as powerful as grow, birth and provide nutrition for a child all with your own God given body alone. Am I sensing a little envy here? Or is it just back to you displaying ignorance in it's purest form? Again, who knows? I am interested to know why it is that you feel sorry for company employees "trying to do the right thing" when these company employees are violating the rights of others? How is this the right thing?
"What she's failed to mention, either in print or on TV, is why she was so
compelled to plop to the floor instead of walking to the ladies room. Would
she have jeopardized her child's welfare, his very life, if she had simply
made the effort?" Would she have jeopardized her child's welfare? Oh right, now you are concerned with the child's welfare, Chuck. No one expects you to eat your lunch on a public restroom toilet, why should her child be expected to? Oh that's right, because you think so. This woman is making an effort. She is making an effort to provide for her child in the best way possible. And she is doing it with a lack of support in this country from idiots like you. Everyday mothers feel embarrassed about breastfeeding and even quit breastfeeding because morons like you try to make it something more than what it is.
"What I do suggest to her and other mothers who act rashly, and then condemn anyone who complains, is to grow up before your child does.
And next time you go shopping with your infant in your arms, try bringing
along a baby bottle. " WOW, I sincerely hope that no one asks you for suggestions on a regular basis. Breastfeeding a crying, hungry child is by no means "acting rashly." Defecating on the grocery aisle floor, sure, but not breastfeeding. And as for ASSuming that all mothers who breastfeed are capable of expressing their milk so they can bottle feed their child for your convenience – once again shows how ignorant you are. And secondly, even if a mother is capable of doing so, it certainly shouldn't be something she's obligated to do to keep from offending someone like you. If you have a problem with seeing a child eat from its mothers breast, then I suggest you sir, be the one who takes a trip to the toilet. That is ironically, where all of your statements belong. YOU'RE OUT!
A's and a special birthday
This day is one of many mixed emotions. Sitting here I contemplate the capacity and complexity of the human mind. I awoke today in much aggravation over a lack of sleep due to an inflamed sciatic nerve and my dear child who slept restlessly beside me from midnight until 7am. Once I was out of bed I realized today's date. May 1st, 2007, the birthday of my husband's late grandmother, aka Granny Mae. She passed away January 18th of this year. She raised my husband as the only mother figure in his life from the time he was 6mo old. She and I had grown particularly close over her last 6 months. She and my daughter, Trinity had grown quite close as well. Here I sit in her home (where my family lives), surrounded by all of her things and continuing out part of her legacy while pregnant with her second great-granddaughter. I am sad. Maybe it's the memory of someone very dear to me that lingers in this house. Maybe it's my anger and frustration over her death and how much I miss her. Maybe it's my sadness for my dear daughter that she will only be a sweet memory to her, if that, because she was so young when she died. Maybe it's regret I bear for all my future children, including the one I carry in my womb now that they will never ever even hear her laugh, see her smile or giggle with her over breakfast. Happy Birthday Granny Mae. Today we will light the Candle of Honor for you. We will remember all of the laughs and smile that we shared, we will sing Happy Birthday and celebrate your life.
Today oddly enough marks the last day of my first two classes in college. I passed Academic Strategies with an A (99.30%) and Intro to Undergrad Online Learning with an A (99.50%). I feel really good about going back to school. The experience so far has been great. My confidence has grown quite a bit just over the past 10 weeks that I have been in school. I start my next two classes May 6th (Communicating in the 21st Century and Software Applications). I am really looking forward to it. I feel proud and happy, I feel great. I know that Granny would be proud of me.
It's just complex to me that our minds our capable of feeling emotions at two complete different ends of the spectrum. I almost feel guilty for being happy, and then I feel silly for feeling guilty. And then I remember that I am pregnant and I laugh at myself because my hormones are raging and it's perfectly alright to feel happy and sad at the same time.

Tthe West and Israel became so desperate they want to slow down this industrial and scientific progress taking place in Iran, in a country that is militarily powerful and they cannot attack. They just wanted to do anything to demonize the country and impose more sanctions... so the people, the Iranian people themselves will move against their government. That's their only hope..."
The threats as we can see from here, the Yemeni ship comes, they try to frame Iran and implicate that Iran is the one who is smuggling weapons to Yemen and what we know from the 1960s what is causing all the trouble in Yemen is Saudi Arabia with its British and Israeli friends.
And now Saudi Arabia with the CIA are trying to keep the country destabilized and accuse Iran of interfering there.

WESTERN KENTUCKY (3/25/14) — Wildlife officials are still seeking information in the death of two whooping cranes near Hopkins, Muhlenberg and McLean County lines, that occurred last November.
"We received noticed from someone about an injured bird back in November," said Marcus Bowling of Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife Resources. "When we went out there, we found the bird in really bad condition."
The crane was rescued on the Hopkins County line, but had to be euthanized due to the extent of its wounds. The other crane was located on the Muhlenberg County line near Pond River, just north of Kentucky 70.
Investigators believe the cranes, recovered five miles apart, were both victims of the same incident.
"We haven't received any hot leads just yet," said Bowling. "This is no joke, the reward is set at $16,000. This is worse than killing a Bald Eagle."
Bowling said there are currently only 500 whooping cranes left in the world and that the two that were mysterious killed were mates.
"These whooping cranes are monitored closely," said Bowling. "From the time they hatch to their adulthood they are monitored and when there is no movement from them, we check on the situation."
Whooping cranes are protected under two federal laws, which include the Endangered Species Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Penalties could range up to $100,000 fine or one year in federal prison.
Bowling asks if anyone knows any information about this tragic incident to contact him at (270) 836-6661.Read the previous SurfKY.com story on this case here.

The Vampire Diaries Clip: Get Ready and Get Happy!by Matt Richenthal at . Comments
It looks like we asked the wrong question after viewing the latest Vampire Diaries promo for "Bringing Out the Dead."
Can there be a truce? That clearly won't be the issue of next Thursday's new episode... because Damon has no intention on actually agreeing to one.
The CW has released a new clip from the February 2 installment. In it, Damon explains to Stefan exactly why he un-daggered Elijah and then goes on to outline his plan for a "fake truce," along with the way in which he hopes to open the mysterious coffin. Watch now and try to decide:
Can Elijah really be trusted? Is there any chance this scheme works?
NOTE: I'll be speaking to Daniel Gillies later today. Return to TV Fanatic in a few hours for scoop from Elijah himself!
Matt Richenthal is the Editor in Chief of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Twitter and on Google+.Tags: The Vampire Diaries, Clips
As much as I adore Stefan, I'm numb to "stelena". He needs someone with spunk and I honestly think Caroline is a better fit, those two should be together oneday, they've always had great chemistry. I love the character of Stefan most, obviously. I agree that "delena" are perfect together and Id be sad if they weren't together in the end. Course, In a perfect world Caroline and Stefan would too...;)
I do think Delena/Stefan (atleast one) will become another type of being. I do hope the bro's continue their dance, and Delena is endgame. They belong together
This triangle is all types of complicated! So the clip does make it clear that the brothers will work through their differences. However for you to say the kiss would have never happend if you didn't go off with Klaus basically.....well I would have said would you rather be dead again. Can't wait till next week but I don't know how Damon and Stefan are going to pull this off against the orignals. Unless the orginals gang up on their half brother Klaus. Elijah is the only badass of the oringals so far...Klaus gives orders and makes a thousand threats. Plus when will he do his own dirty work again...?
It's Stelena for me. I know there are tons of Damon fans out there, but I don't see him being with Elena. And come on....she can't really be with either one in the long run, if she stays human.
I saw season 3 we stop with all the Delena or Stelena crap and just have her be on her own!
OR better yet...throw Elijah in the mix!!
I'm so happy Elijah is back!!! He is my favorite original...as for the brothers etc I luv it all. I do want E to live happily ever after with the D man though. I think Stefan is best with Caroline/Katherine/Rebekah types. Id love to see the S man wind up w/ Caroline!!!
team stefan all the way!!!! i want stefan and elena to go back together will they ever go back together.i dont know elena kissed damon and she told stefan about it and stefan looked really sad and hurt. TEAM STEFAN AND ELENA ALL THE WAY!!!
I also love BOTH brothers and their complicated love. I keep all my fingers and toes crossed thar Elena winds up with Damon. I'm a bigger fan of Stephen, and I believe he doesn't blenf as well with Elena as his brother does. Stephen doesn't NEED Elena, Damon does. I believe Stephan chose Damon at the risk of losing Elena forever. His undying love will never be with Elena. Damon will always love his brother but if the tables were turned, he would always choose Elena.
I'm with Katherine as said to Elena: "love them both, I did"!!! And I think she still does and that's why she's always popping in and out and in bed with Stephen I bet. Could the other coffin be the mother????
Damon is my favourite character but I cannot understand why anyone would hate Stefan. I mean he loves Elena and he loves his brother and he would do anything for them. But I also don't understand how anyone could hate Damon because of his feelings for Elena. After his hurtful experience with Katherine he found in Elena a person who truly cared for him and so he gradually fell in love with her. And Elena was left by Stefan. He did it to save his brother but he did abandon Elena in a way. And Damon stayed and was there for her when she needed him the most. So naturally she developed feelings for him. In my opinion there was a unique connection between Damon and Elena even from the beginning and this bond became stronger when Stefan left. So to hate anyone of those three characters is not comprehensible to me. Yet at the end I hope that Elena chooses Damon. But we have to wait and see.

Given the challenge of developing new, high-performance methods to propel underwater vehicles, Associate Professor Hilary Bart-Smith, a mechanical engineer, has turned to nature for her inspiration. This year, Bart-Smith secured her second Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) grant from the Department of Defense to expand on her pioneering investigations of aquatic propulsion.

University of Virginia students Tara Raj and Garrett Allen are the creators of "VotersChoice," a new mobile app that makes it easy for political representatives — and potentially candidates — to survey their constituents' opinions on current public issues, from city planning and spending appropriations to new bills, and everything in between. Scheduled for release this winter, the app allows any representatives in the local, state and national government to send opinion polls to their constituents and then receive real-time, aggregated feedback and analytics on the public's views.

The American Heart Association estimates that by 2030 the number of patients with heart failure will rise by 50 percent. A decade ago, physicians began using cardiac resynchronization therapy, or CRT — an implantable device, such as a pacemaker, that coordinates the contraction of both ventricles. Working closely with University of Virginia colleague Dr. Kenneth Bilchick, M.D. Biomedical engineering Professor Frederick Epstein is developing a method to more accurately identify people who could benefit from CRT.

Emmanuel Smadja (BSE '03, MSE '06), CEO of year-old MPOWER Financing, is working to help students mired in financial difficulty complete their degrees. MPOWER focuses on students left out of traditional loan programs, those with no credit histories or access to credit who come from abroad or lack a co-signer. It's a large untapped market, Smadja says, which is why MPOWER's initial goal is so high: 100,000 loans by 2017. (More)
You might say that Ernest "Boots" Mead was the master of extension. In educational jargon, "extension" is an activity outside the curriculum meant to enhance and broaden students' learning. A former music professor at the University of Virginia, Mead was renowned for inviting his students to his house for dinner and deep conversation. That eventually led to a fourth-year liberal arts seminar, an informal Socratic forum where he and the students met regularly to discuss topics they had chosen together. Recently students, faculty and alumni again gathered at Alumni Hall to celebrate his legacy at the announcement of this year's 12 Mead Endowment winners. (More)
Cooking and yoga, while they may have a certain science to each, are not the sort of classes one would typically expect engineering students to attend at the University of Virginia. However, the 2014 first-year class of Rodman Scholars continues a tradition of young leaders from unique backgrounds going beyond strictly academic pursuits. The Rodman Scholars Program — an honors program for the top 5 percent of each class in the U.Va. School of Engineering and Applied Science — offers alternative areas of study in addition to traditional engineering courses. (More)

|PL 338 - Paradoxes
|(3 cr.) Paradoxes have been around ever since a Cretan said all Cretans are liars, and Zeno showed us how the tortoise could beat Achilles. They are instances of (what we think of as) true statements leading to (what we think of as) contradictions or intuition-defying situations. Originally considered a problem for logical--and mathematical--thought, paradoxes run the gamut from logic to mathematics, to language, to science, to art and to ethics. This course presents the definition(s) of paradox, and reviews some of the principal paradoxes known to us (logical, semantic, statistical, paradoxes of vagueness, paradoxes of infinity, and paradoxes of rationality) to discover their essence: what is paradoxical about paradoxes? It then moves on to examine paradoxes in ethics, thereby asking about the real world of human--psychological and social--behavior. Prerequisite: PL 202 and junior standing (or department approval). Prerequisite: PL 101 or QU 101; As Needed, Spring

This afternoon I went to help sort items at St. Vincent de Paul. I'm not gonna lie, I had to kinda make myself go. I was tired and hungry and not in the "mood" (whatever that means). But I went.
And I'm glad I did.
For 2 whole hours I didn't think of myself, my life, or my to do list. And it was great.
I met new people, thought about the people who would come to the store and benefit from their ministry- what their lives might be like, what their needs might be.
I guess I have to take back that bit about not thinking about myself. I did think about myself - how little I give and how much I have. I give only what I no longer want or need - not much of a sacrifice. And I have so much (believe me, I know, I've been packing all my belongings into boxes for an in-town move.) It was a much needed reminder for me.
This is the beauty of service - it takes our eyes (our thoughts, our worries, etc) off of ourselves. It opens us up to others and in turn to the love of God.
May we all spend some time each day serving others, whether we are in the "mood" or not!

Introducing....Mo Jo Risin....our newest addition to our fainting goat breeding stock. Mo Jo came to us this weekend from Virginia. He is just 10 weeks old. He is a tri-color buckling with mostly blue eyes (there is also some marbling around the edges of his eyes). Isn't he just adorable? He is quite friendly and has become attached to Becky right away. I think it was love at first sight for both of them!
What a great addition he will be. And now our breeding potential has increased quite a bit.

god does not say why but he does say that IT does cause suffering.
Sorry I don't follow. Who or what do you mean by "IT"
We are not talking aboout suffering that happens as a result of anybodies actions, we are talking about suffering that inherent in its design. The animal kingdom is "designed" to suffer.

And rather than using the tedious process of posting each photo/illustration, I think I'll just post a few links, so I can toddle off to bed...
On this thread, the illustrations show a gradual progression from simple to more complex automobiles...
On this website, going down to the single illustration at the bottom of the page, one can see how the wagon became an early type of a different "life-form", being modified into a primitive automobile...
And here's a pretty good 'pictorial' timeline of automobile development - evolution...
And you can look at many other human inventions - computers, weapons, indoor plumbing/toilets, refrigeration, air conditioning, and on and on and on, and find the same EVOLUTION underpinning human efforts to create the objects we use.....
Even though humans "build" and "create", their "creations" follow the EVOLUTIONARY progression - moving from simple to more complex; moving from fulfilling a simple need [a basic wagon-like structure] to adapting to more complex conditions [greater speed, highway systems, safety factors, anti-pollution factors], JUST AS WE SEE IN EVOLUTION OF LIFE FORMS...
Humans are inextricably TIED to this EVOLUTIONARY progression - EVEN IN THEIR 'CREATIVE' PROCESSES!!!

On the contrary I said it was off topic and asked you to address the topic of this thread which you still fail to do.
Incidently when you put "theory" in bold as if you are making a point you only display your ignorance of sceince. Gravity is "only a theory".
How many books about evolution have your studied maksym? I mean books written scientists. If you would really curious to do your own research here are a few suggestions.
"The making of the fittest" by Sean B Carroll
"Evolution, what the fossils say" by Donald Prothero
"Why Evolution is true" by Jerry Coyne
"Your Inner Fish" by Neil Shubin
"The Greatest Show on Earth" by Dawkins (summary of some of it here)
"Life Ascending" by Nick Lane
Now back this topic. If the natural world reveals god's "invisible qualities" what does that tell us about your god?

Thanks again to all who replied. I'm hoping that someone can provide a good reason as to how a loving God can watch a baby elephant be torn apart by hyenas without anyone to save it..having already built the hyenas to do such things. Would you do that if you had the power?

If animals didn't suffer, there could be no ecosystem, and no way for man to benefit from animals (food, clothing, etc.).
To judge if a human's life is more valued than an animal is a moral judgement for God to make
How many of us feel sorry for the life of a turkey taken for us to enjoy thanksgiving ? ...
Being humane is still important however
humane (see synonym and pronunciation notes at human ).
1. merciful, kind, kindly,kindhearted,tender, compassionate, gentle, sympathetic; benevolent,benignant, Antonyms

You are begging the question, but puting that aside nobody is saying that an animal's life should be more valued than a human's.
The question is aobut the fact that animal suffering is ubiquitous and extreme. This is not the result of an human action it is inherent in the way the natural world works.
How do you square this with the idea of a loving creator?

How do you square this with the idea of a loving creator?In the square are four "Cardinal qualities" which must balance each other
love... justice ...wisdom .. power.
too much is unknown to us , to see the big picture.... I suspect that long term"wisdom " may hold the answer
No man has ever seen, heard or even imagined the wonderful things God has in store (I Corinthians 2:9) ( a nice way of saying we don't know much yet )
what we do know ....
Inflicting "needless pain" on any living creature is incompatible with living in a Christ-like way is all we understand

How many hundreds of examples of needless suffering of animals in the natural world that are a direct result of design would you like me to provide?
If Christ is the creator as you believe it would appear making animals suffer extreme pain and distress is very Christ-like.

Interesting question.
How about a related question?
How did God kill the Egyptian animals twice during the plagues?
In Exodus 9 he killed all the animals in Egypt [except the Israelite animals]
In Exodus 12 he killed all the firstborn animals of the Egyptians AGAIN
First of all - what did the animals do? How could they have 'set my people free'?
Secondly - how did he kill the firstborn after he killed them all a couple days earlier?
Just goes to show. You can't make sense out of a book of nonsensical Hebrew mythology and/or it's bloodthirsty God.

As a Theist I am qualified to answer the OP's question. The rest of you Anti-Thiests are wasting your time. God allows suffering because it is in his plan. Remember that the redemption plan was in effect before the foundation of the world. If a redemption is guaranteed, then the fall must also be guaranteed. No plan of God fails, otherwise, he cannot be God.
Ultimately, as a creation, you are unable to require an answer from the creator. He owes you nothing. You exist at his pleasure. That suffering is in the plan is without question. God chose Christ to suffer, see Isaiah 53, and he chooses the world to suffer as well. In fact Christ has suffered more than anyone ever will. Much of suffering is overrated jealousy. A lot of suffering is necessary for strength.
If you still hang on to the short sighted deception that there is no God, I offer the moral apologetic. If there is absolute good and absolute evil, there must be an absolute moral lawgiver. This is God. If God does not exist, then there is no absolute moral law. There is no good or bad, merely preferences and opinions. That you have nothing to eat and I throw away food is perfectly fine with me. What is there to complain about?

Hi Rob, welcome to Jwn. Thanks for your input. I'm wondering, though, what the fall and redemption of mankind has to do with innocent animals suffering due to no fault of there own? Just to be clear, I never said that I don't believe in a God. I just find the idea of a loving and just God irreconcilable with animals, who have committed no sin, enduring all kinds of pain and suffering because of mankinds 'fall' .

"If God does not exist, then there is no absolute moral law."
Welcome to the forum.
Most of us reject the first statement, and most of have absolutely no problem with the second one.

Are You Having Sex with PASSION or Simply As a Required Relationship Chore?
Have You Lost Your Desire Not to Mention the Pleasure in Having Sex?
Are You Worried It Could Ruin Your Relationship? Are You Confused About What to Do?
It doesn't take an expert to see that our society is obsessed with sex - that human beings, both men AND women, have focused a huge amount of their time and energy on all things sexual.
With this fact, with the knowledge that TV talk shows, women's magazines, romance movies and novels - almost any form of entertainment you can IMAGINE - being so focused on sexual pleasure then why in the world would a woman feel so distanced from the desire that the rest of the world experience?
It is not something you are doing WRONG by any means. In today's world, women are not only 'liberated' to do more work; they still have the chores of taking care of a home or even children. Women are still the ones in charge of keeping romance alive for the most part, of nurturing their relationships with love and care.
But how can a woman feel much of anything when she's worked to the bone, eating whatever she can grab on the go as she attends to everyone else's needs and STILL having to fill the traditional roles her grandmother would have been expected to do?
Let's face the honest truth: she can't. For everything in life, there is a trade off. Every woman needs to know that while she may not be able to AVOID the ebbing of her libido she can certainly find ways to RAISE her passion level. Not only that - she can find ways to feel PLEASURE in sex the way she's always wanted.
Some women go their whole lives without ever knowing the intensity of a genuine orgasm. Don't believe that? Have a quick look online and you will see that the truth is ugly. Women are taught all kinds of things about delivering and taking care of babies, but very little attention is put towards teaching women to take care of themselves, especially when it comes to the pleasure of sex.
If you need a solution before your relationship takes a turn for the worse, or even if it ALREADY has, you need to know what millions of OTHER women have finally discovered: answers abound!
In today's field of women's sexual health, there are so many products that are both SAFE and NATURAL which can help to evoke the familiar feelings of sexual desire AND pleasure once again. No matter what age a woman is, no matter what career she is in and no matter what other stresses may be an unavoidable part of her life, she can get help TODAY.
Please explore your options because a lack of passion and pleasure is something NO ONE should live with - not when there are safe, healthy ways to fix what's wrong.
Remember, when YOU suffer from losing your libido so does HE. No man wants to feel useless and unwanted. You can save yourself and your relationship no matter what it's like today. This is your opportunity to put things right again, to be YOURSELF again.
After all, you deserve to not just HAVE healthy sex life, you deserve to ENJOY it, too.
So the question remains....How? Men have already been given a wonder tab, namely Viagra but is there such a thing as female Viagra? The gossip and hoohaa we hear in the media, on the net and even from our friends, has got some of us spinning around in circles almost dribbling at the thought of such a product. Female Viagra or Female Libido enhancers as they are commonly known are widely available. But there are some you can get online:
This Proven, Safe, and Natural Formula Can Help YOU Regain Your Lost Sexual Desire And FINALLY Find True Sexual Satisfaction!
This fast and easy to apply female herbal viagra cream is a natural sexual enhancing cream that is applied directly to the clitoral area just before sexual activity.
This revolutionary product shouldn't be confused with other substitute 'lubricants' that you can get on the market, this outstanding natural product is not a lubricant and is not a pharmaceutical product either- rather, it is blend of natural botanicals that once applied to the clitoral area, release natural vaginal juices, which in turn swells the size and sensitivity of the clitoris - leading to magnificent, potent and satisfying orgasms!
This female Viagra cream is a natural product that can be used for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction. Vigorelle contains many organic botanical ingredients for the enhancement of female sexual pleasure and on top of that is edible!
Her Solution is designed specially for women who find it difficult reaching an Orgasm or becoming aroused during sex. Not alone in the market, there are other kinds of Viagra cream for women, however, they just simply give sexual lubrication. Provestra female Viagra cream gives sexual lubrication and much more - it's a sexual enhancing cream!
Manufactured in a cGMP Certified Pharmaceutical facility, Her Solution is the result of a joint effort between Western Herbalists and Chinese Traditional Medicine. This safe Viagra alternative for women is a natural product containing a number of organic botanical ingredients. Provestra contains:
The organic herbal ingredients found in Provestra join to balance and to improve women's sexual sensations. Provestra contains no unfriendly or unnatural ingredients, no preservatives and no perfume.

7 Great Green Gifts for Your Guy
By now you've probably checked our Holiday Gift Guide (and if you haven't, you should!) with over 150 wonderful eco-friendly gift ideas for all the different types of people on your gift list, but I know that my husband is really hard to shop for (yours, too?), so I put together this list for our guys.
If your husband, father, brother, son, nephew, boss, etc., is into grooming, the environment, the outdoors, or all of the above, you'll be sure to find something for him here:
1) Working Man's Hygiene Kit This all-natural collection of men's grooming products is designed in a very manly, no-nonsense, brown-and-black paper bag. Complete with every cream imaginable to help your hard-working man soften up, including Knuckle Wax, Hand Repair and Xtreme Lip Balm. You'll both love the results.
2) Recycled Bike Tread Belts For the man in your life who knows the difference between a hybrid bike tire and road bike tire, these recycled tire belts will not only keep your guy's pants in place, but will give him an edgy look that will make him want to be seen out on the town—with you, of course. The buckle: made of an actual bike chain. So cool.
3) Autocare Cleaning Set For the guy who takes as good care of his car as he does himself (and his family, no doubt), this all-natural car kit is a collection of cleaners that do not emit VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and are free of synthetic fragrances, petrochemicals, alcohols and dyes. All products can be used on your home, as well, just so you both know.
4) Herben Man's Shaving Kit I'd buy this kit just for the cute name. But there's more to this gift than a clever moniker. For starters, the shaving soap is made with organic essential oils, the brush is made of vegan bristles and a wooden handle, and it all comes in recycled packaging. (This is yet another gift that you both can benefit from.)

Xcel is a Joke
Posted by
LAFAYETTE, COLORADO -- I really can't understand how it is we pay nearly 10 times the amount shown right on the bill, for the energy used in our home. For instance, October 2011, $2.00 of gas & $7.00 of electricity cost us, wait for it, $78.00. You just have to love a monopoly, if you happen to own it, otherwise it sucks. Our son who lives 12 miles away in Longmont, in a home similar to ours, pays about $15-$20 per month for his energy due to Longmont's "Light and Power". Thanks so much to Xcel for overcharging us every month, and for fighting to prevent local municipalities from developing their own energy capabilities.

Wow! That's all you pay? I need to move out to Colorado. Here in PA, electricity for an apartment - one bedroom oven rarely used, not a lot of lights and a rarely used TV costs about $100/month. Unfortunately monopolies hurt us all. Good luck in getting that resolved.

Faulty Meter
Posted by
MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA -- I rent a little storefront in a small town from the local barber. My shop is open only two days a week and my light bill is very small. Suddenly in spring of 2004 my bill doubled. I called Xcel and they confirmed that my meter had been replaced.
On advice of someone at their regional offices, I continued to pay my usual amount to avoid a disconnect until my meter could be replaced and tested, which took several months. Upon replacement, my bill dropped to the original amount. I expected Xcel to remove the overcharges from my record. Wrong. They said it tested accurate and they continue to press me for the back amount plus monthly penalty to this day.
My phone calls during 2004 made no difference, so I put everything in writing to their Credit Services Office in 2005, along with a letter from my landlord saying that there had been no changes to internal wiring to account for the jump in bill. I received no answer.
The monthly penalty plus back bill has reached the point where they are threatening to disconnect this week It is not the money as much as the principle. I see other people have had similar treatment from Xcel.

Xcel Energy And There Made Up Commodity Fees And Extras They Charge!
Posted by
AURORA, COLORADO -- Here is my review of Xcel Energy. My total cost on the bill I received is 152.77. My electric usage was 35.35. My gas was 37.52. That comes out to about 74.00. Now here comes the necessary???... EXTRA fees... that HAVE to be ADDED in. GRSA:Which charges The facility usage charge plus demand charge... 4.49... elec. commodity charge: This bogus charge RECOVERS... the cost of fuel and purchased energy used to supply electricity service to us...? (GREAT WORDING FOR THE TERM BEING CHARGED TWICE FOR THE SAME SERVICE...) Demand charge:This charge recovers...... the fixed costs associated with the system capacity necessary to produce and deliver power to the consumers (LUCKY US) THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE ELEC. COMM. ADJ. ALL OVER AGAIN.. (IT IS!)Purchase cap cost adj.:12.51... All rate schedules are SUBJECTED..... (FORCED) TO ABIDE BY THIS. The PCCA RECOVERS... (SAME WORD SAID IN THE SAME WAY AS ABOVE) COST to purchase electric generation capacity from other suppliers...? and is subject to annual costs.... These are just some of the bogus charges we are being charged for electricity!!!! ALL THE ABOVE RULES ARE THE SAME THING!!!!!!!!!!! READ THEM!!!! We are all so lucky in Colorado and other states I'm sure to be charged almost 3 times what we are using...... What a BRILLIANT idea by this wonderful... company.... Now the gas breakdown:usage charge:8.33.
Again this charge RECOVERS!!!!!! (HERE IS THAT WORD AGAIN....) XCEL ENERGIES COST TO PROVIDE SERVICE.... TO US...? (GETTING DIZZY YET OR ANGRY?)The pipeline pipes it in for us for one cost on my bill for 7.17 and THEN... another cost of 1.28 more. (I GUESS THE PIPE WAS SHORT AND THEY EXTENDED IT....) Well last but not least: SERVICE AND FACILITY...9.34 FOR THE FIRST ONE 1.56 FOR THE SECOND ONE.... (I see these trucks parked usually at a park somewhere in the shade resting.. (I GUESS 11.00 IS NOT ENOUGH TO DO ANYTHING ELSE...) Every single charge is DOUBLED UP ON OUR BILL!!!!
All these phony charges are for the same thing! Hopefully everyone can see past this someday and take some action!!!!!!!! It would be nice to pay for services rendered just 1 time instead of 3 or more!

I'm not sure about Colorado, but not all areas have the option of changing electric companies. As for the charges the OP thinks are not fair, contact your public utilities commission and see if they will investigate.

Ahh, okay, so you are in Colorado.. not in Texas as Madconsumer stated.
In California (at least the area I am in) we do not have a choice either. We get pretty good service from Southern California Edison. So far I have not had any problems. Maybe you can write to your public utilities commission for your state and they will intervene on your behalf if the charges are not justified.

Crappy Complaint Response
Posted by
ST PAUL, MINNESOTA -- I moved to a new apt. in Aug of 05. The mgrs subsequently sent notification to Xcel energy regarding my tenancy with instructions to begin service record for me. I never received a bill and made many attempts over the year to get Xcel to respond. In person visits had me being told they would send a bill - nope! Phone contact? Nope! finally I received a bill that summer in July for the entire yr's charges. No apologies. No explanations. Just a demand for immediate payment. Being I am hearing impaired, contact is difficult so I resorted to using Xcel's website to make my displeasure known. I felt that Xcel owed it to me after an entire yr trying to eat this huge charge since they were the ones who messed up. They refused to offer anything but a payment "spreadout" not to exceed a yr...basically I was to be 'stuck' with a 'doubled' power bill. Because of my financial situation this was completely unworkable and since Xcel refused any but this option I finally agreed and got a bill for a doubled amount - which I paid. I never got any further bill and Xcel promptly 'lost' my acct again. Contact via website was a loser from the start and the only responses from Xcel was repeated billing for the entire amount - my power was finally cut in Dec 06 and I filed with the BBB. Xcel then assigned me a customer advocate that basically did nothing but push the company 'spreadout' plan line. With this going nowhere, I contacted an attorney who advised me to file with the attorney general and to also apply for energy aid. My aid was denied because I made too much - no luck there. To date I sit without power(luckily the heat is paid by the rent) and I am awaiting the results of the AG's inquiries and/or pressure. Suffice to say I am P.O.d in the extreme. My treatment by Xcel was arrogant in the extreme and while I admit I did indeed use the electric since moving in, trying for a yr to get action is absurd and the unfriendly attitude is dismaying in a public utilities firm. Their website sucks and is gravely in need of work...especially for those who are handicapped and/or otherwise need alternate methods. Connecting with a problem was nearly unworkable because the website insists on things like phones etc when you may not have one..their inflexible pattern is appalling so be warned...

I understand why you are mad but what did you do with the money that you were saving by not paying a power bill for the entire year? If I were you, I would have set aside money for each month because in the end nothing is ever free and I would have to eventually pay for the power that I used.

Xcel Energy Is A Monopoly With No Customer Security Or Service
Posted by
DENVER, COLORADO -- Five months ago my lease ended. This was a good thing considering my roommate was horrible and previous to my moving in had acquired a large bill with Xcel Energy. Long story short, currently I have moved into my own house, and have been paying Xcel Energy faithfully every month, she hasn't. A week ago I discovered Xcel had allowed my ex-roommate of over 5 months to charge her bill to my account. What did Xcel do? NOTHING! They said it could be considered FRAUD, I'd have to contact my BANK. In conclusion, they didn't help rectify the situation. So, BEWARE currently their system allows you to pay over the phone by check, it doesn't tell you it will be saving the number so that anyone with your phone number can call and make a payment on the account with your card. OH AND ... I called them five months ago to take my name off the account.
I guess that TAKE ME OFF THE ACCOUNT is to VAGUE for Xcel to understand I don't want my checking account to be charged either.
THE BEST PART, They are the only utility provider available.

Contact the Colorado Public Utilities Commission. You can perform a web search to obtain their contact information.
You can either file a complaint or ask them for assistance in resolving the billing problem.

Monopoly Stealing My Money
Posted by
AURORA, COLORADO -- I moved into my apt on sept.18Th,2007. I took over a lease for my ex- boyfriend. I turned the energy in in my name and two mounths later exel added my ex's past bills to my account even though we didn't live together. First I was told to have him call and take responsibility for his bill. When he did that, there was no notes put in the file so it'sa like he didn't call. I had him call again after that I faxed a copy of my lease to excel, like I was told to. But I still didn't get his past due amount taken off my account. I received a call a day later telling me I need to fax a copy of my old lease from where I was living before I moved to my current residence, but since I lived with my mother they told me I would still be accountable for his bill because I wasn't on my mother's lease and I couldn't prove that I wasn'e living with him. Even though the bill was in his name, under his social, I have to pay it cause I took over his lease.Even though I had him call and give them a billing address for him, I still have to pay his bill because someone at xcel added him to my account without my authorization. I cannot get my energy turned on with a better compant because there is only one energy company in my state. So I have to pay someone elses bill for an apartment I wasn't living in when the bill was generated. When they tell me what I need to do to fix it and I do it then there is something else that I have to do.
I have no way to fix it except to pay someone elses bill.

I have the Medela PISA. I bought mine a little over five years ago and have used it with three babies - it's still working like a charm.
What I like about the Medela is that it fits a lot of different types of bottles directly onto the machine. I use Gerber glass bottles and I can pump directly into them.

2 Fla. men charged in Pa. with snake trafficking
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Prosecutors say two Florida men and their company have been charged in federal court in Philadelphia with trafficking endangered and threatened snakes.
The U.S. attorney's office said Tuesday that 54-year-old Robroy MacInnes of Fort Myers, Fla.; 47-year-old Robert Keszey of Bushnell, Fla.; and Glades Herp Farm Inc. are charged with conspiracy to traffic in the reptiles. MacInnes and the company were charged with trafficking in protected timber rattlesnakes.
Authorities allege that the defendants collected protected snakes in Pennsylvania and New Jersey between 2007 and 2008, bought protected eastern timber rattlesnakes illegally collected in New York and transported threatened eastern indigo snakes from Florida to Pennsylvania.
A message couldn't be left at the company Tuesday and a number listed for MacInnes remained busy; a message left for Keszey wasn't immediately returned.

[SOURCE: Multichannel News, AUTHOR: Ted Hearn]
Congress is debating whether to allow local governments to provide high-speed data access in competitive markets already served by cable and phone companies. Dozens of communities around the country are promoting the deployment of broadband -- some through partnerships with private companies and some through ownership of their own facilities with at least implicit taxpayer support. The fate of municipal broadband service is likely to play out in the ongoing effort to overhaul the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) is hoping his panel will approve a bill next month.

WEST WARWICK—Following the boil-water advisory that lasted four days last weekend and early last week, government officials are brainstorming ways to ensure that customers receive notification in a timely manner from the Kent County Water Authority.
Senator Paul Fogarty (District 23 Glocester, Burrillville, North Smithfield), plans to introduce legislation next session that would require water utility companies to have access to automated phone alert systems.
"Water problems can be very serious emergencies that require immediate notification to customers," said Fogarty. "The technology to make automated phone calls to all affected residents is easily available and isn't expensive."
Although he doesn't agree with the automatic phone calls Senator Fogarty is trying to introduce, Representative Jared Nunes (District 25 West Warwick, Coventry) said something has to be done.
"I fully intend to submit legislation requiring people to notify people using the emergency broadcast system if they don't adopt rules of their own," he added. "As far as Senator Fogarty's bill goes, with the automatic calls, the problem I see with that is the system can cost money."
He said the last thing he wants is to have the rate payers see an increase in pay because the water authority has to pay more for the automatic phone calls.

Recently the wills and testaments section has extended to 1926 and the newly introduced 1915 land valuations include tenants' names. For participants to get the best value out of this course, have some easy searches in mind, plus some more difficult ones that the group might be able to help you unravel. Bring your research names with you. As it is a pay-to-view website, you will need to pay for your particular searches and any printouts, however if you have an NZSG flash drive you can save the images to copy onto your own computer.

Einhorn's Apple Argument Supported by Hidden Stock Gain (Update1)
(Updated to include statement from Apple.)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The fact that Apple (AAPL) has handed shareholders a gain in the past year supports an argument made by Greenlight Capital Management's David Einhorn that the company should give more of its cash to shareholders.
Before the stock market opened Thursday, Apple's shares had fallen in the past 12 months. Still, the company was able to provide investors with a positive return, albeit one that significantly underperforms the S&P 500's near 12% gain.
The key is Apple's $2.65-a-share dividend that the Cupertino, Calif.-based company instituted in March 2012. Apple forecasts the program will return $45 billion in cash to investors over a three-year period.Apple's current dividend has an appeal to investors, even amid the company's poor share performance in the past year and cries by the likes of Einhorn for bigger payouts. In fact, the three quarterly dividends of $2.65 a share paid out to investors represents the company's only return in the past year.

Opening day rosters: who cares?
Posted By Jeff Fletcher on March 25, 2011 9:32 am
Every spring there is lots of debate about who will win jobs and roster spots on opening day. Really, though, we shouldn't care so much.
It's just one day out of 183 days of the season, and the roster can change 183 times. Does it matter who is on the roster in the first game? Nope.
Let's look back a year at the Giants opening day 2010 roster. (I have to snicker at the fact that Dan Brown, who filled in for Baggs that day, actually used the phrase "final roster." Yes, it was the "final" opening day roster, which means it was etched in stone for one entire game.) Anyway, if you look at that, you'll see that John Bowker was there, as the starting right fielder no less. You'll see Waldis Joaquin and Brandon Medders were there in the bullpen. Eugenio Velez was there. Mark DeRosa was there. Freddy Sanchez (injured), Madison Bumgarner, Buster Posey and Pat Burrell weren't there.
By the time the season ended on Nov. 1 — seven months later — did it matter who was on the opening day roster? Heck, it didn't matter one month later, on May 1.
The only time it really matters is in the case of a player who has a minor-league deal with an opt-out clause. Jeff Suppan, for example, can opt to leave the Giants if he's not on the opening day roster. (His actual decision date may be a few days before opening day, but you get the idea.)
There are also players who are out of options, so they can be lost to the organization, but that's true for them all year, not just on opening day. Remember Fred Lewis? There was a big question last year about what would happen to him on opening day, since he was on the bubble and out of options. Lewis ended up getting hurt just before the opener, securing an opening day DL spot. All that did was delay the decision on him. When he was healthy, he got traded to the Blue Jays.
One Response to "Opening day rosters: who cares?"
Exactly what I was looking for, thanks for putting up.

Service Dogs
Patriot PAWS Dogs
Our service dogs are initially selected from breeders, local animal shelters, rescue groups, and service dog puppy raisers. They are carefully evaluated prior to selection and only the best of the best become candidates, graduate, and are certified. Please note that the selection process at Patriot PAWS is extensive. Although generous, please do not try to donate your family pet to Patriot PAWS.
Our mobility service dogs are trained to perform many services including:
- Get help in emergencies
- Pick up and retrieve items
- Open and close doors and cabinets
- Pull wheelchairs
- Provide bracing to stand, walk, and sit down
- Help with chores, such as laundry
- Take shoes and socks off
Our post-traumatic stress service dogs are trained to mitigate symptoms such as:
- Nightmares
- Flashbacks
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Sleep disturbances
- Substance abuse
- Difficulty with relationships
Perhaps one of the most beneficial remedies is the unconditional love and devotion a dog can provide to their lifelong partners. Once a strong bond forms between the person-dog relationship, the dog's trust, devotion and a desire to please will follow.
The cost to train a mobility service dog is approximately $27,000. This expense represents 18 to 24 months training, housing, feeding and health related costs. Patriot PAWS Service Dogs specializes in using positive reinforcement to train its dogs.
The minimum standards for all service dog centers affiliated with ADI are listed in our ADI Minimum Standards Requirements article. All centers are encouraged to strive to work at levels above the minimums.

Today is December 21, 2014 -
Hey USY! My name is Abe Bayer and I am honored to serve as your International Membership/Kadima Vice President. I come from the Hanefesh region, specifically the Manchester USY chapter, and have lived in Connecticut my whole life. I am beyond excited for this year and can't wait to wait work the IEB to make USY the best it can be!
This year, my IGB and I are going to be working hard to make membership numbers soar and get the world excited about USY and Kadima. We will be making the best recruitment and programming resources available to all of USY, so the phrase "Everyone is a Mem/Kad" can truly become a reality. By making stronger connections with Ramah camps, Schecter schools, and reaching out to old chapters, we will spread USY like wildfire throughout North America!
Everybody has their USY story. Let's share them with every potential member we know. Let's increase membership and impact even more Jewish teens with the incredible organization we have built. Let's change lives. It starts with every one of you, and a story.
Feel free to e-mail me any time if you have questions about chapter or regional membership, programming, and Kadima. I love to meet new people and hear their USY stories.
Abe Bayer
2014 International USY Membership/Kadima Vice President
