Spain's culture is an ever-changing one. It is moving further away from its traditional Catholic roots and leaning more towards secular living and multi-religions and has become one of the world's largest consumers in heroin, cocaine and marijuana. As false beliefs multiply and New Age deceit thickens, spiritual confusion among the people increases as well. As contemporary as Spain has become, there are still cities and people that are unreached with the Gospel.
Spain is a country that has very little interest in God. I've heard Spaniards say, 'I'm an atheist, really, I don't believe in God. But, I am a devout follower of the Virgin Mary.'— Dan Anderson
Thank God for more than 30 years of liberty, and pray that Spain's believers would take full advantage of it.— Operation World
The churches are small and in many situations discouraged. We had a couple who was hungry for the Word of God join our church, and our pastor shared how incredibly rare it is to come across anyone with spiritual hunger.— Career Worker
Day in and day out the opportunities to be a light for Christ are constant. It is likely that we are the only believers interacting with our neighbors and local shop owners.— Career Worker
Spain's modern transformation is not all positive. Secular materialism brought religious freedom and economic advancement, but it has also struck a crushing blow to traditional foundations of society and created a spiritual vacuum that is being filled with many dangerous elements.— Operation World
There is no evangelical church in 345 cities and towns of over 5,000 people. Many smaller towns, villages and districts have no witness whatsoever. Of 8,112 municipalities, only around 650 have an evangelical church.
Of the 50 provinces, Soria and Avila have less than one evangelical for every 1,000 people, and 28 provinces have less than 1,000 members of evangelical churches.
One of the major challenges faced by WorldVenture's team in Spain is effectively communicating the gospel to an increasingly postmodern people. Churches are small and believers are few. Other hurdles facing workers in Spain are spiritual apathy and the influence of traditional and cultural Catholicism. WorldVenture's efforts have focused on evangelism, church planting and development, and leadership training.
Today &Tomorrow
A goal of WorldVenture's work in Spain is supporting spiritual growth in those whose hearts have been opened to the truth of God's word. Encouragement and partnership is being given to local churches so they can pursue church health, multiplication and faithfulness. The Spain field has recently begun ministries to the Basque and others.

Not everyone fits the archetype, but those that do are faithful (once they let you in), blunt, politically incorrect, and a bit loud. But that's just the adults; the teenagers are way cooler. You have to have thick skin to live here and don't take things too personally.— Ben & Meggan Knox
Spaniards take time to enjoy life and relationships. Once your friend, a Spaniard is forever your friend.— Kathy Haley
The following is a live news feed mirrored from an independent news service, and offers a current stream of headlines coming out of the country. WorldVenture does not control headlines, but only "mirrors" them from other websites.
We have many opportunities requested by our teams, but we're open to new ideas. God has moved us into over 60 countries by bringing us people with vision, passion and calling. If you don't find an opportunity that fits, or doesn't fully fit ... let's talk. Our first priority is relationship (i.e. "Are we a good fit for each other? You and WorldVenture"). Once that is clear, we will walk with you into almost anything.

With respect for people and their cultures, we communicate, by word and deed, the full scope of biblical truth and, especially, the gospel. We make disciples of Jesus Christ among all peoples through different kinds of evangelism..
We seek to build and nurture authentic relationships with people who have no knowledge of Jesus Christ with whom we can share our faith. Paul asks, 'How are they to believe in the one they have not heard of?' Romans 10:14. The answer is that they can't. It is our desire for those who have never heard the gospel or never understood it to have the chance know God. Many times a true opportunity to hear the gospel requires an environment of trust and friendship first.
Scriptures: Matt 28:18-20, Rom 10:14, 1 John 4:19.
We recognize both the internal conversion of the heart and external profession of faith as milestones in the journey of obedience to Jesus Christ. We encourage new believers to identify themselves as Christ-followers in ways that are recognized as authentic in the local context.
Scriptures: Romans 10:10, Matthew 5:14-16, Eph. 4:20-24, Mark 16:15 .
Baptism is another external milestone in the journey of obedience for a new believer. We encourage new Christ-followers to further identified themselves with Jesus Christ and the local community of faith through baptism by immersion.
Scriptures: Romans 6:3-6, Galatians 3:27, Matthew 28:19-20.
We nurture reasonable steps taken to pursue spiritual growth and evangelism from Christians and non-Christians. This often looks like greater depth in comprehending biblical truths and expressing their growing faith in ways meaningfully in their own culture.
Scriptures: Hebrews 10: 24-25, Eph. 4:11-17, Matthew 28: 18-20.
We actively invest time and talent into Bible translation and creation of Christian media knowing that these investments will expand and deepen the influence of the gospel in a culture.
Scriptures: Acts 2:8-11, Philippians 2:9-11, Acts 13:47-49, Acts 8:26-39.
Following the example of Jesus, we address human suffering and practical needs everywhere we share the gospel, whether it be through individual acts of mercy or community-wide programs.
Lasting community development is only achieved by insiders. Meaning, we assisted people in their own development efforts in the areas of acquiring sustainable food, water, shelter, literacy, vocational training, education, and employment. Our explicit goal is empowerment, dignity, and community ownership.
Scriptures: Deuteronomy 10:18, 1 Samuel 2:8, Psalm 145:15-16, Luke 12:33.
The grace and blessing of medical care where there is no other access to medical help is one of the longest standing outreaches of WorldVenture. Our hospitals and rural clinics dot some of the most difficult locations in the world.
Scriptures: Jeremiah 33:6, Isaiah 40:29, Matt 19:2.
We seek out those who have become vulnerable and fallen to the advantage of other people. We advocate for them within available legal systems, or we build exits and avenues for them to leave their circumstances.
Scriptures: Isaiah 43:2, Psalm 72:4, Isaiah 51:4-5, Ezekiel 34:15-16, Psalm 82:3-4.
In large scale disasters which are within locations we have workers and churches, we bring help directly to the people effected by the disaster. Our networks are often the most established in the communities to the point that larger relief organizations will defer to us on the ground. Yet our strategies always extend past the immediate response to include some form of rebuilding and restoration.
Scriptures: 1 Cor 16:1-4, Psalm 145:15-16, Philippians 4:19.
Building his church is central to Jesus' purposes. We strive to establish healthy local churches that will establish other churches, resulting in church planting movements.
Recognizing that church planting is typically more of a process rather than a one-time event, we speak of a church as being "established" when the local church and its local sister churches recognize it as such. We value real growth of the church, and use milestones like this to give us benchmarks to celebrate.
Scriptures: Matthew 28:18-20, Romans 15:20-21, Matthew 18:20, 1 Timothy 4:13, Acts 16:4-5.
Another milestone we encourage as a mark of a maturing church is the multiplication of daughter churches. More than anything this is a sign of the outward growth and maturity of the faith community.
Scriptures: Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 16:4-5, Romans 15:20-21, Ephesians 2:19-22.
We develop leaders who are able to lead others in contextualizing and maximizing their Kingdom impact – locally, regionally, and around the world.
Our workers staff numberous formal seminaries and bible schools as teachers or administrators. We know that people being equipped in and for ministry through formal degree/diploma granting institutions is an investment in the future health and vitality of the church.
Scriptures: Proverbs 2:10-11, Luke 2:45-47, Proverbs 1:1-7.
In addition to formal academic training, we encourage leadership development through non-formal ministry training seminars, courses, and programs. These programs are equally as powerful for deepening and establishing churches through informed and mature lay leaders.
Scriptures: Psalm 32:8, Psalm 119:105, John 10:3-4.
Experience has taught us that some of the most natural and effective future missionaries come from the children of our current missionaries. Not only does the investment in these children make it possible for their parents to work in remote locations, most of the international schools in which we partner encourage the personal ministry and impact these children can have while on the field.
Scriptures: Deuteronomy 4:9, Matthew 18:2-5, 1 Timothy 4:12.
Our 360° vision for impacting societies recognizes that there are a handful of key roads to impacting in any given city or provence or people group. For example, business and media are key influencers in a society, but often fall outside designated leadership tracks like pastors and teachers. We encourage the development of Christian leaders who will influence society through business, politics, medicine, media, social justice, and family and community development.
Scriptures: John 17:15-19, Colossians 3:23-24, 1 Corinthians 14:12, Romans 12:6-8, Matthew 25:23.
We will encourage individuals, churches, and church movements everywhere to connect with each other and other organizations, creating international relationships for networking, collaborating, and partnering to do missions "from everywhere to everywhere."
We encourage the natural progression of a maturing national church by advocating for the training and development of national Christians to become missionaries. Crossing-cultures is always difficult, even for those who are born and raised in multi-lingual, multi-cultural environments, and preparation can be a key element in the succeess of a national missionary.
Scriptures: Psalm 144:1, Galations 3:28, Psalm 32:8, Isaiah 61:1.
In addition to individuals going out as missionaries, we encourage national churches to engage in missions.
Scriptures: Romans 10:15, John 15:1-27, Matthew 9:35-38.
From the individual to the church and then finally to the multi-church association, we encourage many national church groups and church associations to engaged in missions. We seek a culture of outward movement and self-sacrifice as a healthy part of a national church.
Scriptures: 2 Corinthians 8:1-7, 2 Corinthians 9:10-12, Romans 10:15.

TCF Artist Spotlight: Theresa Andersson
We have already told you about the best one man band show in Texas, Shake Graves, but now it is time for the one woman wonder of Louisiana, Theresa Andersson. Raised in Sweden and based in New Orleans, Theresa got her start recording sweet harmonies in her own kitchen.
Sampling Smokey Johnson's "I Can't Help It", Andersson crafts a bit of a '60s revival in "Birds Fly Away." Handclaps, soda bottles and dulcimers join an arsenal of guitar, violin, drums and tambourine… Now remember, she is the only one on stage. In concert, she performs without a backing band; instead, she re-creates her lush sound using a two-tiered panel of foot pedals, sampling herself and looping her sounds. With her toes turning knobs, as her hands strum guitar or bow a violin, and she sings with a charismatic smile that belies her intense concentration.
The result is a choreographed dance accompanying each song; unique and spontaneous. By layering one effect atop another, Theresa heightens the anticipation, literally building songs from scratch that turn into grand orchestrated masterpieces. In "Birds Fly Away," she draws from many muses at once, and the result sounds like a one-woman wonder.
Be sure to become a fan of Theresa Andersson on Facebook and follow her on Twitter.

Disregarding his incline in red carpet designing, Antonio Berardi's catwalk presentation at London Fashion Week knocked us off our feet. His ready-to-wear collection consisted of A-line cut skirts and dresses revealing the knees from the front but then cascading down to the floor in vibrant chiffon. Tops were loose and boxy, with over sized sweaters and jackets adding a more casual look to eveningwear.
His palette consisted of some of Fall's most trendiest colors and prints that have been perfectly transformed into Spring essentials. Vibrant reds, rosy pinks, whites on whites, metallics, and leopard motif prints were key colors.

Senate Fast Track Vote
Thursday, May 23, 2002
Congressional Record 107th Congress Second Session Thursday, May 23, 2002
Mr. President, when fighting for American working men and woman, most members of Congress want go into the ring with both arms swinging. That is why I am at a loss to understand why some members of Congress are willing to tie one hand behind their back when it comes to trade. The way I see it, fast track ties one hand behind our collective back when trade agreements come before the Congress.
I have some serious concerns with the Baucus-Grassley fast track legislation being considered by the Senate. Granting the President broad "fast track" authority to negotiate trade agreements means Congress must adopt a law to implement any trade agreement on a straight up or down vote, without the ability to offer amendments. I believe in free trade. I supported the Jordan Free Trade Agreement, the Vietnam Free Trade Agreement and granting China PNTR. But I am reluctant to give up the Congressional right to amend trade legislation, sight unseen. When we do that, we are throwing away one of the most effective tools in forcing fairer trade practices.
We should negotiate trade agreements to protect human rights as well as labor and environmental standards. The Senate should have acted to ensure that these and other provisions addressing fairness in trade practices are included in future trade agreements. The Baucus-Grassley approach doesn't provide us with the means to do that and in fact falls far short of achieving these goals.
America's trade policy over the past 30 years has helped create a one way street. The U.S. market is one the most open in the world, yet we have failed to achieve foreign markets being equally open to American products. Some of the trade agreements the U.S. has entered into have fallen far short of opening foreign markets. To ensure free and fair trade will be achieved in any future trade agreement, Congress must not give up its ability to amend the legislation implementing the agreement.
I have fought hard to strengthen U.S. trade laws to help open foreign markets to American and Michigan products such as automobiles, auto parts, communications equipment, cherries, apples, and wood products.
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), enacted January 1, 1994, is a good example of a trade agreement negotiated under "fast track" authority. It contained provisions allowing Mexico to protect its auto industry and discriminate against U.S. manufactured automobiles used cars and auto parts for up to 25 years. It allowed Mexico to require auto manufacturers assembling vehicles in Mexico to purchase 36 percent of their parts from Mexican parts manufacturers. It also allowed for 25 more years the Mexican law against selling American used cars in Mexico, a highly discriminatory provision against U.S. autos.
When NAFTA was presented to Congress, it was an agreement which discriminated against some of the principal products that are made in Michigan. I surely could not vote for the bill the way it was written, nor could I try to amend the bill because the "fast track" authority the President had at that time prohibited implementing legislation from being amended. Consequently, after NAFTA was enacted, the U.S. went from a trade surplus of $1.7 billion in 1993 to a trade deficit of $25 billion with Mexico in 2000. Over the same period, our trade deficit increased from $11 billion to $44.9 billion with Canada. Since NAFTA was enacted, the automotive trade deficit with Mexico has reached $23 billion.
Moreover, between January, 1994 and early May 2002, the Department of Labor certified over 400,000 workers as having suffered job losses as a result of increased imports from or plant relocations to Mexico or Canada. These job losses occurred all over the county as well as from around the state of Michigan. For example, 27 employees from the Blue Water Fiber company in Port Huron who produced pulp for paper lost their jobs as a result of NAFTA imports. 129 employees of Alcoa Fujikura Limited in Owosso who made electronic radio equipment lost their jobs to Mexico. 1,133 employees of the Copper Range Mine in the UP lost their jobs when operations were moved to Canada. 300 employees of Eagle Ottawa Leather in Grand Haven who made leather for automobile interiors lost their jobs when their jobs moved to Mexico. The list of NAFTA-TAA certified job losses goes on and on. These are not job losses from a level playing field. These are losses from a sloping field tilted against us.
We've lost too many manufacturing jobs because our trade policies have been so weak over the decades. I've always believed that when countries raise barriers to our products that we ought to treat them no better than they treat us. Fast track authority makes it more difficult for Congress to insist on fair treatment for American products and equal access to foreign markets.
Calling NAFTA a free trade agreement was disingenuous. NAFTA protected Mexican industries and it also gave special treatment to certain US industries. For example, leather products and footwear got the longest U.S. tariff phase out (15 years) and it included safeguard provisions against import surges in these sectors. Agricultural Commodities/Fruits and Vegetables (including sugar, cotton, dairy, peanuts, oranges) also got a 15 year U.S. tariff phase out, a quota system, and the reimposition of a higher duty if imports exceed agreed-upon quota levels. It's clear that those who are represented at the negotiating table are able to strike favorable deals to protect certain industries and products. That is not free trade.
NAFTA was not the only trade agreement that included specially tailored provisions for certain products. The trade bill we are being asked to vote on contains special provisions to protect textiles, citrus and some other specialty agriculture commodities.
The Andean Trade Preferences Act also protects certain industries. ATPA expands duty free access to Andean nations for some previously excluded categories of products but there are significant exclusions or special rules that continue to protect them. The exclusions in the Senate ATPA bill include:
Most footwear; Textiles and apparel are included but are subject to a number of special rules and limitations such as requiring that certain apparel products be sewn with US thread in order to receive duty-free access, requiring the use of a certain spandex product made exclusively by the DuPont company, requiring the use of US yarn throughout in order to qualify for duty-free access; Canned tuna is included but the Senate bill allows duty free treatment for very limited quantities of canned tuna to be imported and subject to a very restrictive rule of origin. These are special protections being granted to specific industry sectors. Why are these products be treated in a privileged manner over other important U.S.-made or grown products? This is not free trade.
I believe that writing labor and environmental standards into trade agreements is an important way to ensure that free trade is fair trade. Regrettably, this legislation does not go far enough to assure international labor and environmental standards will be present in trade agreements. We need trade agreements with enforceable labor and environmental provisions but this bill does not provide for it.
This is unfortunate given the U.S. Senate is already on record supporting strong labor and environmental standards in trade agreements. The Senate passed the Jordan Free Trade Agreement on September 21, 2001. The Jordan agreement broke new ground in its treatment of labor and environmental standards in trade agreements. For the first time, it required that the parties to the agreement reflect the core internationally recognized labor rights in their own domestic labor laws.
The bill the Senate is considering today does not require countries to implement the core ILO labor standards. It only requires them to enforce their existing labor laws, however weak they may be. It also specifically states that the US may not retaliate against a trading partner that lowers or weakens its labor or environmental laws.
This language undercuts our ability to negotiate strong labor and environmental standards in future trade agreements because our trading partners know we can't enforce what we negotiate through the use of sanctions and the dispute settlement process.
American workers already compete against workers from countries where wages are significantly lower than in the United States. They should not also have to compete against countries that gain an unfair comparative advantage because they pollute their air and water and fail to allow their workers to exercise rights that are fundamental. The United States enacted environmental standards that protect our air and water. We have enacted labor standards that allow for collective bargaining and the right to organize, that prohibit the use of child labor and provide protections for workers in the work place. These are desirable standards that we worked hard to get. Why should we force American workers to compete against countries with no such standards or protection for its workers?
There are many ways to improve this fast track legislation to address some of the concerns I've outlined. I supported many of these efforts. For Congress to give up its role under the Constitution without those protections is to fail to learn from our past mistakes. To do so means we have willingly tied one hand behind our back in the fight for free and fair trade. That is something I am simply unwilling to do.

Help Protect Homeschooling in Sweden
Posted on Jun 7 2010 in International Homeschooling by
This letter recently went out to state homeschool leaders. Please take a moment to read it and to sign a petition saying you support preserving home education in Sweden.
Hi all,
Please forward this link to the petition page of the Swedish HS association. The petition page is in English.
The Swedish parliament is supposed to vote about this bill on 21 and 22 June, 2010. A YES to this bill will not only mean the virtual abolishment of homeschooling in Sweden (the law will essentially become German), but also an end to the freedom of education for private schools.
A million of NO's from all of us over the world is now necessary!
Kind regards,
Peter van Zuidam

Fort Lauderdale Criminal Defense Lawyer
Foreword From John P. Contini:
I defend the criminally accused in not only South Florida, but also in State and Federal courts across the country ie, often in other States outside of Florida upon permission of local judges.
Few experiences in life are more rewarding than those occasions when we, as criminal defense lawyers, are successful in helping our clients receive second chances. It's a wonderful feeling to know that you've been used instrumentally in the process of reuniting families and assisting them as we secure the right treatment, rehabilitation and help they desperately need.
Thank you profusely, for sending any of your frightened or hurting family members and friends my way. It is an absolute honor to help these families. From my heart to yours, I am,
Grateful for this privileged opportunity,
- John Contini

"I highly recommend Mr. Contini to be of a service to you, your loved ones and friends. He is very personable, knowledgeable and always committed to achieve the best results to his clients.

"It is my honor to recommend John Contini both as an incredible human being and a great lawyer. I have known John for the past ten years and have observed him in a variety of settings. I know several people that John has helped over the years and can speak to his compassion, ability and tenacity. As a defense attorney he is without equal. John understands the law and really believes the principle that his client is "innocent until proven guilty" even when others have already prejudged them. John's compassion and grace in tense and difficult situations has a calming effect and helps to assure his clients that he really is their advocate and is doing his very best to right a wrong. While many lawyers (and general public!) believe "where there is smoke there is fire," John knows that's often a "smoke screen" meant to divert attention from the real truth! In short, if you need a lawyer, you need John Contini on your side.
Several times, John has spoken at Community Bible Church in Dania Beach where I Pastor. Why would I invite a Criminal Defense Attorney as a speaker? Simply, John is a Christian first and that impacts everything he does whether it is in his role as attorney, author or father (which he is his favorite role, just ask him!). Many today claim to be people of faith but they filter that faith through all that they do instead of the other way around. John is different. He filters everything he does through his faith and applies those principles unashamedly.
I consider John Contini to be a friend, advisor and a teacher. I recommend him without hesitation or apprehension. If you need a friend or an advocate you can be assured that John will be by your side.

DUI Attorney John P Contini on Drunk Driving in Florida
I have a heart for people who suffer the embarrassment and shame of being arrested for Driving under the Influence … and we all know, the suffering goes well beyond embarrassment and shame — it includes the loss of your income and possibly even your job, along with the loss of your driving privileges (for a time)and certainly the loss of your freedom or liberty for some time too, as you suffer tremendous financial hardship from the consequential, unexpected expenses as well.
What can be done? Many things can be done, and these things SHOULD be done, and they should be done sooner rather than later. There are very narrow and exact, finite time periods involved, and you need to know of these time constraints, in order to preserve your rights and driving privileges. We at the Law Offices of John P. Contini will help you and your family immediately.
Our Fort Lauderdale DUI defense attorneys will file what is called a "Petition for a Formal Review Hearing" [and this must be done within the first ten (10) days following your arrest!] in order to immediately restore your driving privileges.
Simultaneously, our Fort Lauderdale DUI lawyers will seek and secure copies of any and all police reports, "alcohol influence reports," accident reports (if any) and any and all supplemental police reports filed by the involved law enforcement officers.
If you're alleged to have 'refused' a breath test, or if you've taken the 'breath test' — in either case, we will secure copies of any and all documentation which exists on this issue too, as we also secure a defense copy of your 'DVD' or 'video.' Your DVD or videotaped image is typically taken as footage from the police cruiser "dashboard" or "car cam," but just as often, this will include the footage of your performance of the "roadside sobriety tests" or "exercises" on the side of the road. We will obtain a copy of this footage right away.
The State prosecutors (those within the State Attorney's Office in any one of the 67 Florida counties) must officially "file" your DUI charge/arrest, within twenty one (21) days of your arrest; and this affords your defense lawyer another significant window period of time within which to significantly help you. If we are your lawyers, we will visit the prosecutors to provide them with any and all mitigation material (i.e., "humanizing" material and information about you and your unique life and family) along with any and all possible "exculpatory" (exonerating) information that may persuade the prosecutors NOT to file this DUI charge against you.
When you're arrested in Florida or Massachusetts — or almost anywhere else in the nation for that matter, on the charge of "Driving Under ('DUI') the Influence" of alcohol, the prosecution must prove 'beyond every reasonable doubt' that you were 'under the influence' of ALCOHOL and not prescription drugs or any other drug. This is just one (1) of the most immediate and critically important issues in your case.
The State (called the "prosecution") must prove "beyond and to the exclusion of every reasonable doubt," that you were "under the influence of a controlled substance," *if they choose to allege that you were under the influence of drugs as opposed to alcohol; so again, it is critically important to first know and establish WHICH 'necessary elements" the State and Prosecutors MUST prove.
How a Fort Lauderdale DUI Defense Attorney Can Help
Your DUI lawyers always have the readily available defense that you may not have been under the influence of anything other than "sleep deprivation," since the reality of sleep deprivation is a hugely pervasive problem in America today, and more and more people are becoming increasingly aware of this national issue:
Our South Florida DUI Attorneys cross examine the arresting police officer in such as way as to significantly increase the likelihood of winning your case in trial, or before trial, prevailing upon the prosecution to reduce the charge to a lesser offense, dropping the DUI charge. The following is just a brief example of how we do this:
The police officer cannot possibly know your normal speech pattern or whether you speak with a slight lipse or an accent — especially in this multi cultural society in urban cities today; and this is just one area in which we quite easily impeach the officer's testimony on cross examination, as you'll see:
"It's fair to say, isn't it officer Dokes, that you've never spoken with Mr. Jones ("my client") before?
"That's true," the officer will respond.
"So you have no way of knowing what his normal speech sounds like, whether he articulates every syllable or speaks with a slight drawl or a lipse or an accent, right?"
"Well, that's correct."
There goes the effect of the officer's earlier testimony (on direct examination by the prosecutor) when the officer testified that you "had slurred speech."
Then, as to the separate, damning testimony from the police officer, as to your "red" or "bloodshot eyes," this testimony we also impeach on "cross," as you'll see:
"You've never seen my client's eyes before that night, isn't that right officer Dokes?"
"That's true."
"So you have no way of knowing, officer Dokes, whether Mr. Jones had been swimming earlier in the day, or whether he had been working two jobs all day and was otherwise extremely tired and sleep deprived — and our eyes get reddened under these circumstances too, isn't that right?"
"Yeah, that's right, but –"
And of course, we won't allow the officer to camp out on the stand and attempt to rehabilitate himself and add salt to his earlier testimony, quickly moving on to another quick question:
"And studies have shown that most people are driving around later at night quite sleep deprived, and more accidents occur when people fall asleep at the wheel UNRELATED to any alcohol or drugs — just from being very tired and sleep deprived, isn't that true officer?"
"I wouldn't know about that."
"You asked him to perform certain roadside sobriety tests that night, officer, didn't you?"
"Yes, I did."
"And you had him do these tests on the side of the road, true?"
"Yes –"
And yet it was dark outside, and the roadside was not paved, but instead was uneven with gravel, and cars were speeding by, their headlights flashing, as he was trying to do your tests?"
"Well, no, it was dark, but we were far enough away from cars and the road was flat."
"Your report noted that he failed the 'heel to toe' walking test, inasmuch as he missed touching the 'heel' of his one foot, with the 'toe' of his other foot … but isn't it true that your own police cruiser's overhead lights were activated and strobing in a circular fashion all about you two — just as the highlights from oncoming vehicles were flashing into his eyes, and it was under these challenging. circumstances, that he was asked to perform these tests?"
Many times, we will ask the Judge to instruct the police officer to come down off the witness stand, to demonstrate for the jury how it is that he can perform these tests himself — and invariably, the police officer will miss the mark on one of these same sobriety tests, prompting this sort of questioning:
"Isn't it true, officer Dokes, that you just failed to stay on one leg and keep your balance in this same balancing test you gave to my client, Mr. Jones?"
Before he even answers, or regardless of the embarrassment or the answer, the question is followed up this way:
"This isn't something you're used to, in fairness to you, officer, standing here a bit nervous in this courtroom asked to perform in front of this jury which is not your own environment — just like it's not what Mr. Jones was used to, nervous late at night in the dark on the side of the road with cars speeding by, also a bit nervous like you in an environment not his own, right?
Impeachment of Police Officer's Credibility in Court
We continue to impeach the officer's credibility on the witness stand, by these and many other questions designed to illustrate the unfairness of these roadside sobriety 'tests' or 'exercises' as they're calling them now (ie., the prosecutors are now calling them 'exercises' since the Supreme Court has declared roadside 'tests' to be unconstitutional) and we then attack the admissibility and credibility of the breath test as well:
[FYI: The machines are either the infamous 'breathalyzer' or 'intoxilyzer' that tests for the 'blood alcohol ('B.A.L.') level in an individual's blood.]
These are only a few sample questions that illustrate how we might cross examine and impeach the police officer, to undermine the credibility of the alleged breath test result:
"Many other people blew into the machine that night, isn't that true?"
"You're not the officer who is responsible for properly maintaining this machine, ensuring that it is often inspected in a timely fashion as it must be, and that the machine is properly calibrated at the periodic times as required, and that it is stored in a safe place, and not bouncing around in some police van, isn't that true officer Dokes?"
"Your own police cruiser — like our computers and appliances and all other machines in our life, they don't always work right, and sometimes they break down and need to be repaired and adjusted to work right, isn't that true officer Dokes?"
Our cross examination of the police officer as to the breath test 'result,' and as to his testimony concerning your performance in the roadside sobriety 'tests' or 'exercises,' will expose and highlight the 'reasonable doubt' that surrounds the issue of whether you were 'under the influence' of alcohol.

Edinburgh forwards Roddy Grant and Lewis Niven are expected to miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery.
Back-row Grant, 26, has been playing with a wrist injury throughout this season, with the decision taken to repair a torn ligament at the end of January.
Prop Niven, 24, ruptured his bicep representing the Edinburgh Accies in the Premiership last month.
The pair hope to be fit again in time to take a full part in pre-season training with the club ahead of next season.

Residents of a southern Chinese village have postponed plans to march on government offices after a senior official agreed to meet village leaders.
Protests against land seizures have been ongoing in Wukan in Guangdong province since September, however, the current unrest was escalated by the detention of five villagers by police more than a week ago and the death of one of them in police custody on December 11.
Authorities say Xue Jinbo died of heart failure but his supporters believe he was beaten to death.
Plans for a protest were suspended after Zhu Mingguo, a deputy provincial Communist Party secretary, met with villagers on Tuesday and called their demands legal, reasonable and ethical.
"We are not marching now, because we are happy now. Things are going pretty well,'' Qiu Yankun, a villager, told the Associated Press news agency.Investigation pledged
Villagers said Zhu also pledged to investigate allegations of illegal land seizures.
Along with the release of the detainees, the villagers are demanding the return of seized farmland and the dismissal of corrupt local officials who colluded with developers in return for bribes.
Huang Hancan, a village representative, said provincial authorities appeared sincere in their desire to resolve the conflict, but he said he would wait to hear what specific proposals Zhu offered at a meeting scheduled for later Wednesday.
Wukan, which has about 20,000 residents, has for months been the site of simmering protests over the land grabs, an endemic problem in China driven by poor legal safeguards, high housing costs and local government's appetite for revenue.
The issue is a leading cause of thousands of reported incidents of unrest striking China each year.
Despite government censorship, the protests have drawn considerable interest online, with prominent intellectuals posting comments and photos about them.
On Tuesday, a separate protest took place in Haimen, also in the Guangdong province, over local government plans to build a power plant, which has now been rejected.

Luke, I Am Your Father, this is when the revelation exists not that a person in question is a character's father, but he might be. It turns out that they had sex with the character's mother at about the same time as the fertilization, so the possibility exists. The thing is, they probably aren't the only person who did so. A common result of the invocation of this trope is that someone uses either science or magic to determine who the real father is. How long this takes depends on the speed of the plot. An Always Male trope, as it is predicated on Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe. Note that DNA testing good enough to establish the truth is relatively recent; in historical settings, possible father and possible child will often be left hanging and have to do their best to work things out without knowing. Obviously, spoilers are involved here.

Enrollment Surpasses 50,000 For First Time In History
Record enrollment — exceeding 50,000 for the first time — is being reported for Texas A&M University.
Enrollment after the first week of classes totals 50,054, for an increase of 925 students over the final figure for the fall semester last year, according to Texas A&M's Office of Institutional Studies and Planning (OISP).
Figures for the 12th class day — which will be on Sept. 13 — are those required to be reported to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, but the figures are not certified until the 20th class day. The figures normally vary only slightly after the first week, OISP officials note.
Texas A&M President R. Bowen Loftin said the record enrollment is not the result of a concerted effort for the university to increase its size but rather reflects the continued increase in the value of a degree from the university. He cited a recent Wall Street Journal article that shows Texas A&M to rank second nationally on the basis of employers' satisfaction in hiring graduates of institutions throughout the nation.
"We are obviously pleased that so many young men and women choose to pursue their education aspirations at Texas A&M University and look forward to serving them in a manner that is consistent with our commitment to offering high-quality education," Loftin stated. "As a land-grant institution, we are ever-mindful of being accessible and affordable, while also continuing to elevate our status as one of the nation's top public universities."
Last fall, with an enrollment of 49,129 on its main campus, Texas A&M was ranked as the sixth largest university in the nation.
Texas A&M's marine-oriented branch campus, Texas A&M University at Galveston, also reports record fall enrollment, currently standing at 2,058, for a gain of 159 students compared to last year. Texas A&M's engineering–oriented campus at Qatar is just starting its fall semester. It had a record 473 students in attendance last fall, representing a 59-student increase. The campus in the Middle East is fully funded by Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development.
When including the two branch campuses, total enrollment for Texas A&M stands at a record 52,585 — based on the inclusion of Texas A&M University at Qatar's 2010 fall enrollment — but that is subject to change slightly when this fall's TAMUQ figures become available. In any event, the university's overall figure will likely move it up even higher in the ranks of the country's largest institutions of higher learning, officials note.
Male students on the College Station campus total 26,805, representing 53.6 percent of the overall student body. Texas A&M's female enrollment, while continuing to trail the number of men at the once all-male institution, totals 23,249. Female enrollment increased this fall by 458, while male enrollment is up by 467.
Corps of Cadets membership continues to increase. The corps, in which participation is open to young men and women on a strictly voluntary basis, currently stands at 2,153 cadets, an increase of 184 over the same period last year.
The freshman class of 8,271 includes 600 students enrolled in the Blinn TEAM, a program in which students are jointly enrolled at Texas A&M and the Bryan campus of Blinn College. Blinn TEAM students who successfully complete the program's requirements are then eligible to become fulltime students at Texas A&M. Blinn TEAM participation decreased by 46 students this year.
The number of Hispanic freshmen stands at 1,596, for an increase of 94, and African-American freshmen total 279, an eight-student gain.
More than 25 percent of Texas A&M's freshman class is made up of students who are the first in their families to attend college.
Transfer students total 1,784 this year, a gain of 149 over last year.
Enrollment of Hispanics and African-American students overall is also higher than for last year, with Hispanics now totaling 7,595, for an increase of 575, and African-Americans total 1,723 for a gain of nine.
Graduate student enrollment this year stands at a record 9,518, which is 53 more than for last fall, and students enrolled in the professional program category — those pursuing doctor of veterinary medicine degrees – total 525, representing an increase of nine DVM students.

Outstanding! Now we can further overburden the infrastructure of College Station, experience more traffic jams, and continue to destroy College Station's unique small-town identity. But I guess this means A&M will make more money so they can continue to construct new buildings on campus where there was once green space, install more flashing crosswalk signs, and hire more professors who don't speak English.

Is it REALLY true that TAMU has only 1,784 transfer students? WOW! That seems awfully small!
Thanks for a plethora of information.
Gary Briers on

Whoa, SK, lighten up. You forget CS was named after the train stop because there was no town to put on the shingle at the station. A&M actually predates the town and CS exists only because of the founding of the University on the prairie south of Bryan. Let's get our facts straight. If CS is too big for you now move down here to Houston and get a load of our "small town charm."

Wow! Texas A&M continues to grow and get closer to Vision 2020 each day. It's unfortunate that SK is so upset about a growing university – growing for the better, not just in size – but it is great to see that our presence in the country and in the world is becoming more established.
Gig 'em, Aggies!

"Outstanding! Now we can further overburden the infrastructure of College Station, experience more traffic jams, and continue to destroy College Station's unique small-town identity. "
You're an idiot. The City of College Station wouldn't even EXIST if it weren't for Texas A&M. Most, if not all, the jobs the city enjoys is a direct result of the constant flow of students coming in and out of your city. Your local economy IS Texas A&M.

I don't necessarily agree with SK but I don't understand the push to be the BIGGEST. Why don't we push to be the BEST? I'll always love A&M, but I am finding more and more that I love the A&M I went to, not the one I visit today. Its getting to be a maroon version of t.u. in the 80′s with very few of the traditions we once had. People don't even say Howdy anymore…..

"The number of Hispanic freshmen stands at 1,596, for an increase of 94, and African-American freshmen total 279, an eight-student gain." OUT OF MORE THAN 50,000???? Sadly not representing the diverse population in Texas (37.6% of Hispanics, and 11.8% of African-American according to the 2010 census (http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/48000.html)).

I am the one who usually stays away from any comments and discussions, but now I feel obligated to join and address SK aggression toward Texas A&M achievements and natural course of progress.
Yes, you are right, the University trying to expand by building more building and enrolling more students. Tuition and fees are growing every year, there are less green lawns on campus, and growing traffic. Ant it starts to look more like a city than a small town.
I bet there were the same complaints from the people who lived centuries before Texas A&M was established and saw it growing in the middle of the prairie. It is natural reaction and it is unavoidable course of like.
But let's stick to the facts. Texas A&M is a fast growing University, which provides an outstanding opportunity for education and research, and feeds greatly local economy. Moreover, quality of education and scale of research and study outreach is rapidly growing. To be Texas A&M graduate is prestigious not only in Texas, but nationwide, and in many other places around the world. I can give you an example of the Nuclear Engineering department, which is not big to begin with. It was relatively small 15 years ago, but now it is one of the best in the nation. The small number of transfer students, taking in account that study in Texas A&M is not a walk in a park, especially if you properly apply the rule of not "Stealing and cheating", I would not expect that number to be large. Let's be honest, most of the transfer students are looking for escape when they are in troubles academically. Only small percentage of students who want to be transferred are truly out of their preferred field of study and looking for a better place to apply their learning abilities. Thus, the relatively small number tells me more about quality than quantity of the program. Finally, international student and faculty body will never let Texas A&M down. Texas A&M has one of the largest international students and faculty program. But it does not mean they bring everybody who raise their hand to the Aggieland. I personally know people in charge of the program, and they have no hesitation when it comes to kicking out who is slacking with studies or disrespect the University and what it stays for. Those who come from abroad and study hard and do brilliant research, then, call Texas A&M their second home and make the University proud with their achievements. I know quite a few of them. Therefore, I have no problem with the University making more money by constantly improving in providing batter quality for education and opportunity for sturdy and research for a large number of people who can appreciate honorable traditions of A&M. The prairie is large and there are always spaces to put same parks, and they do so while the city of College Station is expanding. We should not refuse some changes for a good cause only because it will take away from us something that we used to. And if you are indeed a true Aggie, go ahead and help the University to be better. And if protest is your favorite tool, well, turn it toward something constructive, like making them fully repair Ross Street, or bring the Bonfire back on Campus and make it safe enough for everybody to enjoy and appreciate.
I truly believe that SK means well, it just hard sometimes to appreciate something great when it rapidly changing something what you used to for decades.
However, I came from a different world, I have seen a lot of bad things happening, I traveled all around the USA, and I tell you with full confidence, there are no place in the world like the Aggieland and it is changing to be even better.

There were 15,000 to 18,000 students at A&M when I was there. I loved it. I loved it when it broke 20,000. I loved it when it broke 30,000. I loved it when it broke 40,000. And I love it now that it has broken 50,000.

Last I checked you have to be intelligent and meet academic requirements to get into the university, not of a certain color to be displayed in an even palette. Get over it.

@Lulu Pel
The numbers there are FRESHMAN Hispanics and African-Americans, not overall. If you look a little lower you'll see where it says the overall stats stand at about 8,000 and about 1,700 respectively. That is still extremely low, however, meaning the campus is about 15% Hispanic and about 2% African-American.

Q: What percentage of Hispanic and African-American high school graduates in Texas would qualify academically (grades, SAT scores, class rank) for admission to A&M? Sadly, those numbers are probably much lower and must be addressed first.

Thank you, Lulu!
I work with international faculty every day who are committed to advancing the research output and capabilities of Texas A&M. When they succeed, so does the University. I also love how our students have become much more socially aware than in decades past – although I agree with skisright that the traditions seem to be fading. I miss hearing (and replying) "Howdy!" each time I pass a student on campus.
We in Bryan/College Station and surrounding areas depend on the University's quality and reputation, so anything we as residents can to do facilitate its growth will benefit us in the long run. Vote for commissioners and councilmembers who will implement sustainable growth strategies in the area!!! If you're concerned about infrastructure impacts, then the unsustainable sprawling growth patterns in the region must change.

My son is one of the 1,596 hispanic freshman and we are proud of it. His SAT score was off the chart. Why is the race card being reflected. When he graduates in 2015 at the top of his class I will be sure to let you all know! Gig em Aggies.

Best 5 Grilled Chicken Recipes for Summerby Maria Russo in Recipes, July 25th, 2013
A simple blank slate that you can dress up with seemingly any and all flavors and textures, grilled chicken is perhaps the ultimate go-to family dinner, guaranteed to please kids and grownups alike. Given the versatility of grilled chicken, however, it can be challenging to know where to begin in transforming the meat into a flavorful, juicy meal. Check out Food Network's top-five grilled chicken dishes below for crave-worthy recipe inspiration, and find out how Guy, Bobby, Alton and more Food Network chefs put their signature spins on this classic summertime favorite.
5. Asian Barbecued Chicken — The secret to this weeknight-friendly dinner is finishing the chicken with a sweet, tangy homemade barbecue sauce featuring five-spice powder, garlic, hoisin sauce and honey.
4. Chipotle-Mango BBQ Chicken — Guy lets a mixture of mango, chipotle peppers and cilantro do triple duty in his simple recipe: It serves as a marinade for his bone-in chicken, a glaze with which to baste the meat while cooking and a finishing sauce to serve on the side.
3. Chile-Rubbed Grilled Chicken with Salsa —Ready to eat in only 30 minutes, these lean, juicy chicken breasts are marinated in a bold mixture of lime juice, garlic, cumin and a duo of chili powders, then quickly grilled and topped with a bright tomato-tomatillo salsa.
2. Grilled Chicken Cordon Bleu — While most traditional chicken cordon bleu recipes feature battered and pan-fried chicken rolled around ham and cheese, Bobby opts to grill his meat, then assemble the dish face-up, with a topping of creamy cheese, prosciutto and arugula.
1. Ring of Fire Grilled Chicken — Don't let the name of Alton's chili powder-laced chicken fool you into thinking it's especially spicy. The title comes from the way in which it's cooked: over rings of both direct and indirect heat on the grill. Click the play button on the video below to watch Alton make it.

The J2 and Eastern High School (EHS) programs were developed in the 1980s to bring together the finest young nordic skiers in the Eastern United States. "J2s" are 14 and 15 year olds, and the J2 teams are composed of the top 20 boys and 20 girls from each state from this age category. The EHS teams consist of the top 24 boys and 24 girls from each state who are selected from grades 9-12. This year's competing states/regions include Massachusetts, New York, New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Idaho and Canada.
Qualifying for the Massachusetts EHS/J2 Teams
To earn a berth on the Massachusetts' state teams, skiers must participate in two qualifying races in each of the skiing disciplines. The skate qualifier will be held on Sunday, January 24th at Weston Ski Track in Weston, MA and the classic qualifier will be held on Sunday, January 31st at Mt. Greylock Regional High School in Williamstown, MA.
Once the teams are chosen, ahtletes come together to represent their states at the J2 and EHS Championship events. This year the Eastern J2 Champions and National Invitational races will be held in Jackson, NH on March 5-7. The Eastern High School Championships will be held in Gilford, NH on March 12-14. Each state's athletes spend the weekend together as cohesive groups; staying in the same lodging, eating meals together, and competing in a total of four races – classical, skate, sprint and relay.

ANYWAYS, in the horror blog-o-sphere, this time of year means that it's year end list time. YAY!! And what better way to kick things off than to celebrate (read: don't watch these at any cost) the crap crap crappiest of shit sandwiches. And without further adieu....
Considering the level of talent involved, this found footage anthology was a monumental let down. Never mind the severe logic gaps (how the hell are Skype conversations captured on VHS tapes?), the stories themselves were devoid of any genuine tension or scares. By the 3rd story, you want to dial up your local cable provider and ask for a refund.
9. The Fields:
Really the only thing going for this scare-less, pointless, and ultimately frustrating home invasion flick, is the one and only Cloris Leachman playing the part of a foul mouthed, badass granny. But even she's not enough to carry this absolute shit heap of a film.
8. Dead Weight:
An unfortunate film with an unfortunate title. This hollow post apocalyptic thriller is long, tedious, and just flat out boring. There is no rhyme or reason for any of the character's actions and the thin characterizations of each makes it really difficult to feel any true empathy. So when the proverbial shit hits the fan, it's a big ol' 'meh.'
I don't think any film caused a more verbal rash of diarrhea than this one. OK, that's not true (see #1). BUT this film is loaded with stupid characters doing stupid things. And who the fuck goes to ATMs anymore? A stupid, ill-conceived film with one absolutely terrible ending.
6. The Gruesome Death of Tommy Pistol:
Jesus, I don't think I saw a more painfully trying to be funny and clever and failing on all levels horror comedy as this one. Terrible racist jokes, annoying over the top celebrity impersonations that just aren't funny, and really really really awful acting to boot. There is absolutely no merit to this story of an aspiring actor turned crazy for snuff. None. What. So. Ever.
5. Area 407:
I saw a fair share of shitty found footage flicks this year but Area 407 takes the poop frosted cake. This isn't spoiler-y at all as the trailer (and film art) reveal that this is a dinos gone wild found footage feature (alliteration TWICE in two sentences, BOOM). Filled with annoying characters and unexplained situations (why was there a mysterious dinosaur preserve?) and one hell of a laugh out loud, ridiculous ending, Area 407 is the cream of the found footage crop of crap (alliteration 3 times beotch!).
4. The Tortured:
Another unfortunately titled flick, it features poor acting and another paycheck, phoned in performance from Bill Moseley. 'Look into the camera Bill. Now give me creepy. No no, more Devil's Rejects creepy.' Actually he's not the worst part of the film. The film is a revenge tale and the father and mother duo are the most improbable onscreen couple ever to pull off some SAW-esque hijinks. Tortured viewing indeed.
3. Entrance:
Ugh. Long and drawn out, Entrance is supposed to be a slow burn character piece but the characters aren't all that interesting. Unless you consider whiney, hispter, coffee house working, good looking white people interesting. By the time our 'shocking' ending comes around, it's much too little too late. Incredibly boring in every way.
2. Mr. Bricks: A Heavy Metal Murder Musical
I love heavy metal. It rarely (if ever) goes well with horror. I don't know why filmmakers insist on combining the two. But a musical? Gotta say that's pretty ambitious. But this doesn't work at all. Terrible songs, singing, and loaded with a completely nonsensical plot and CGI gore, you've got yourself one epic disaster of a film. So at least the filmmakers got that part right. And never, in the history of this blog, has more insane comments been posted to a review. Just click on the title and see for yourself.
1. Munger Road:
This film gets the number one spot for a whole slew of reasons. As a matter of fact, I can dedicate an entire blog post to it. But this ghost tale, slasher flick, I-don't-know-what-I-want-to-be-at-all horror film, is one of the most insulting flicks I've ever seen. Not only does it not go anywhere, but it assumes that the viewer will like the film. Yes kiddies, this one ends with the dreaded 'To Be Continued....' If that wasn't enough, the director has reacted very poorly to bad reviews. Bad form. Bad form.

Type.BaseType Property
Gets the type from which the current Type directly inherits.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Property ValueType: System.Type
The Type from which the current Type directly inherits, or null if the current Type represents the Object class or an interface.
The base type is the type from which the current type directly inherits. Object is the only type that does not have a base type, therefore null is returned as the base type of Object.
Interfaces inherit from zero or more base interfaces; therefore, this property returns null if the Type object represents an interface. The base interfaces can be determined with GetInterfaces or FindInterfaces.
If the current Type represents a constructed generic type, the base type reflects the generic arguments. For example, consider the following declarations:
For the constructed type C<int> (C(Of Integer) in Visual Basic), the BaseType property returns B<int>.
If the current Type represents a type parameter of a generic type definition, BaseType returns the class constraint, that is, the class the type parameter must inherit. If there is no class constraint, BaseType returns System.Object.
This property is read-only.
The following example demonstrates using the BaseType property.
The following example uses recursion to list the complete inheritance hierarchy of each class found in an assembly. The example defines a class named C that derives from a class named B, which, in turn, derives from a class named A.
using System; public class Example { public static void Main() { foreach (var t in typeof(Example).Assembly.GetTypes()) { Console.WriteLine("{0} derived from: ", t.FullName); var derived = t; do { derived = derived.BaseType; if (derived != null) Console.WriteLine(" {0}", derived.FullName); } while (derived != null); Console.WriteLine(); } } } public class A {} public class B : A {} public class C : B {} // The example displays the following output: // Example derived from: // System.Object // // A derived from: // System.Object // // B derived from: // A // System.Object // // C derived from: // B // A // System.Object

Rap-Up TV: RZA Approves Raekwon's Justin Bieber Collaboration
Hip-hop heads who questioned whether it was cool to bump the remix to Justin Bieber's "Runaway Love" with Kanye West and Raekwon shouldn't feel embarrassed. Raekwon's fellow Wu-Tang Clan member RZA has given the song his stamp of approval.
We asked Bobby Digital what he thought of the odd pairing at this weekend's VMAs, and whether he would ever collaborate with a pop star like Justin Bieber. "I think it's crazy and it's great because the [sampled] song, 'Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing ta F' Wit,' is a hard song and to hear Justin Bieber on top of that song, it just shows that it's like an old kung fu theory," he explained. "It says, 'Be hard as steel, soft as cotton.' I think music allows us to do that. Like Bruce Lee said, 'Be like water my friend.'"
Plus, find out about RZA's directorial debut The Man with the Iron Fist and the major star he landed for the kung fu flick, filming in Shanghai.Tweet
