Charlie Weis just another cheater
Laptopgate? Notre Dame insists it wasn't cheating
By LARRY LAGE 3 hours ago
EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) Charlie Weis insisted Notre Dame wasn't trying to break the rules by having a laptop computer in its coaching box during a 23-7 loss to Michigan State on Saturday.
"It wasn't like there was somebody trying to do something illegal," Weis said.
Michigan State spokesman John Lewandowski said the school asked a liaison to the officials to remove the laptop after noticing one being used by the Fighting Irish. The liaison took the laptop out of the their coaching box during a break in the first half.
"The first thought you have is, `Are they tracking tendencies or other data,'" Lewandowski said. "You cannot use that type of that resource in the coaching box. That's just like you can't have a replay monitor."
Weis said the officials approached him about the laptop and then he asked offensive coordinator Mike Haywood about it.
"I asked upstairs if there was one," Weis recalled. "I was talking to Michael and he said, `No.' Then, I guess one of the interns had one over there. Then I immediately told (the officials) that there was an intern (with a laptop) and he took it off a ledge and put it on the floor."
Weis said he told the officials that he wasn't trying to do something improper while walking off the field at halftime.
"The last thing I ever want to do is lie," he said.
Weis is 24-16 in three-plus seasons at Notre Dame after working as the offensive coordinator for Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots from 2000-04. Belichick and the Patriots were fined and sanctioned by the NFL last year for video taping opponents sideline signals.
Re: Charlie Weiss just another cheater
Taught by the master himself. Not surprised. :coffee:
Re: Charlie Weiss just another cheater
I think this is much ado about nothing.
Guy had a bonehead moment and brought a laptop into a booth.
I doubt it was anything more than that.
Re: Charlie Weiss just another cheater
it's always the intern's fault....
Re: Charlie Weiss just another cheater
the intern was jack ruby's grandson......:toofunny:
Re: Charlie Weiss just another cheater
This is interesting. You always see "The Bill Walsh Coaching Tree" and the "Bill Parcells Coaching Tree".
Might we start seeing "The Bill Belichick Cheating Tree" soon?
Re: Charlie Weiss just another cheater
This just in......Weiss has been cheating on his diet too.
Is it my imagination or did this load gain another 100lbs or so since he got the gig at ND??
He makes Romeo C look like a swimsuit model.
I would have a hard time taking anything he had to say about discipline very serious.

A new study shows that the cost of health insurance for many Americans rose sharply this year compared to previous years, exceeding average increases in workers' wages and giving employers even more hesitation about hiring new people.
The study, released by the nonprofit Kaiser Family Foundation, shows that employers paid an average annual premium of $15,000 for family coverage for workers in 2011, a 9 percent increase over last year and more than twice what employers paid on average 10 years ago. —BF
The New York Times:
The steep increase in rates is particularly unwelcome at a time when the economy is still sputtering and unemployment continues to hover at about 9 percent. Many businesses cite the high cost of coverage as a factor in their decision not to hire, and health insurance has become increasingly unaffordable for more Americans. Over all, the cost of family coverage has about doubled since 2001, when premiums averaged $7,061, compared with a 34 percent gain in wages over the same period.
How much the new federal health care law pushed by President Obama is affecting insurance rates remains a point of debate, with some analysts suggesting that insurers have raised prices in anticipation of new rules that would, in 2012, require them to justify any increase of more than 10 percent.

THE BEFORE AND THEN the after. Two distinct realities experienced by Miles Halter (nicknamed "Pudge"), the protagonist, in Looking for Alaska. It is also the way that John Green has broken up the novel, starting off with Before and midway through the novel continuing with After. This can't be explained further without spoiling the story.
Miles Halter is a loner and lives a pretty mundane and uneventful life in Florida with his parents and has an obsession with the last words of famous people. In fact, It is the last words of a poet Francois Rabelais "I go to seek a Great Perhaps" that propels Miles' desire to experience something new that is not as predictable and mundane as his current life.
In pursuit of The Great Perhaps, Miles attends a boarding school away from home in Alabama and he meets his roommate "The Colonel" (Chip Martin) who is a short, fearless, math genius who
is always getting into mischief. Chip introduces him to Alaska who is beautiful, spontaneous, funny, very smart, petite, free spirited and exciting to be around. For Miles it is love at first sight and he becomes obsessed with Alaska and the mystery of her. But Alaska is also very troubled, scary and depressed as her emotions swing between moments of tearful outburst to times of withdrawal and absolute silence.
However, it is Miles' relationship with Alaska and "The Colonel" that allows him to experience the "Great Perhaps," as he throws caution to the wind and becomes a little less predictable and boring. He makes new friends and becomes involved in mischief that he never imagined he would be involved in. Mostly, Miles learns to be more impulsive and spontaneous due to the influence of Alaska.
Alaska would often entertain Miles' obsession with last words. She tells him the last words of Simon Bolivar, a character from a favourite book of hers, his last words were, "Damn it,"…"How will I ever get out of this labyrinth!" These last words become a central question in the novel, especially when something happens at the boarding school that changes Miles' outlook on life forever.
This novel is an exploration into why people are the way they are and why people live their lives the way they do. It explores love, suffering, pain, loss, forgiveness and in some way hope and the will to continue.
As much as I loved Paper Towns, it just does not compare to the beauty of Looking for Alaska. When I first started reading Looking for Alaska I thought I was reading Paper Towns again, I was sort of having a "Same script different characters" moment. However, as I continued reading Looking for Alaska, I realized that I was wrong and the beauty and distinction of the novel really unravels nicely.This book is amazing and is so deep that I had to read it twice.
That being said, I an mot sure if the ending resolved a lot of the questions raised, although it would appear that was the intent. I understand that in some novels the intent is to leave questions unanswered, but in Looking for Alaska there seemed to be an effort made at summing up the questions raised in the novel at the end of the book. Although the end of the novel addresses and sufficiently answers some of the questions raised, I found the ending brought up new ideas, that in my opinion, were not raised throughout the novel itself. So at the ending, for me at least, there was a slight disconnect. Nonetheless, Looking for Alaska is an amazing read and no review of this book could do it the justice it deserves.
Quotes I liked (I liked a lot more but they unfortunately give the storyline away):
"I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating…if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane."
"I'd never been born again with the baptism and weeping and all that, but it couldn't feel much better than being born again as a guy with no known past"
"You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present."
There has been a lot of controversy surrounding Looking For Alaska. I can sort of see why some parents would not want their kids to read this book. However, it only becomes an issue for those who are reading Looking for Alaska from a purely superficial standpoint and have totally missed the message that supersedes the controversy. Below is a video of John Green discussing the controversy.

The Sunset Limited is a passenger train that for most of its history has run between New Orleans, Louisiana, and Los Angeles, California. From April 1993 through August 2005 it also operated from New Orleans to Florida (originally, to Miami; later, only as far as Orlando, Florida), during which time it was the only true transcontinental passenger train in American history. After late August 2005, the service reverted to the original Los Angeles to New Orleans routing after the service between New Orleans and Orlando was suspended following the lingering effects of Hurricane Katrina.
During fiscal year 2011, the Sunset Limited carried nearly 100,000 passengers, an increase of 8.8% over FY2010. The train carried the fewest passengers of any long-distance train in the Amtrak system. During FY2011, the train had a total revenue of $11,138,286, an 11.8% increase over FY2010.[1]
The tracks between New Orleans and Florida include parts of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, and the Louisville and Nashville Railroad—all now owned by CSX Transportation. West of New Orleans, the route was owned by the Southern Pacific Railroad and is now owned by the BNSF Railway and the Union Pacific Railroad. The name Sunset Limited traces its origins to the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio Railway, which was known as the Sunset Route as early as 1874.
The train uses the following route segments, identified here by the names of their original owners:

Service on the Sunset Limited between Orlando and New Orleans has been abandoned. The rail line in the path of the storm east and inland of New Orleans was washed out as a result of the storm damage. The operating railroad CSX restored the line itself between New Orleans and Tallahassee/Jacksonville, reconnecting the St. Johns River in Florida with Mobile Bay in Alabama, and the Port of New Orleans. However, it was deemed too expensive to be rebuilt to modern passenger rail standards along with the cost of replacements for the destroyed rail stations in Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana. AMTRAK identifies the route suspended indefinitely.
In the West, at San Antonio the Sunset Limited train and Texas Eagle thru-cars are combined for the journey westward and split eastward.
A highlight of the trip is the crossing of the Huey P. Long Bridge just west of New Orleans. The bridge is one of the longest railroad bridges in the United States, at 4.5 miles (7.2 km); it takes the train 135 feet (41 m) above the Mississippi River.
Before the start of Amtrak on May 1, 1971, the Sunset Limited was operated by the Southern Pacific Railroad. The Sunset Limited is the oldest named train in the United States, operating since November 1894 (though originally named the Sunset Express). The Sunset Limited was Southern Pacific's premier train.[2]:170 Initially the Sunset Limited was an all-Pullman train, with sleeping cars and no coaches, running from New Orleans to San Francisco via Los Angeles. From its beginning in 1894 until streamlining in 1950, all the train's cars had 6-wheel trucks and dark olive green paint with black roofs and trucks. In summer 1926 it was scheduled 71 hr 40 min New Orleans to San Francisco; it then carried a coast-to-coast sleeper Jacksonville to Los Angeles.
An 1895 consist included:
A 1929 consist included:[citation needed]
A 1940 consist included:
In 1930 the route was cut back to Los Angeles and the train carried coaches for the first time. In 1936 the train resumed running to San Francisco and was one of SP's first trains to receive air-conditioning. In January 1942 it was cut back to Los Angeles; the Sunset Limited was never again all-Pullman and never again ran beyond Los Angeles.
The train was dieselized in late 1949 and became a streamliner in August 1950. The Sunset Limited was the last among the big American luxury trains to be streamlined and in 1950 the train got a new look, with stainless steel cars with red letterboards and white "Southern Pacific" lettering. All cars except the RPO-Baggage (which had 6-wheel trucks) had 4-wheel trucks, and the last car of the train was a sleeping car with a blunt rear end and a lighted neon-sign with the train name on the rear door. Until 1950 the train was pulled by 4-6-2 Pacific type and 4-8-4 GS-1 Northern type steam locomotives between New Orleans and El Paso, and by 4-8-2 MT-4 Mountain type and 4-8-4 GS-4 Northern type steam locomotives between El Paso and Los Angeles/San Francisco. Occasionally, even some 4-10-2 Southern Pacific type and 4-8-8-2 AC class Cab Forward type steam locomotives could be seen, especially on the western portion of its run. Steam occasionally appeared on the Sunset Limited until 1953.
After dieselization Alco PA A-A Unit diesel locomotives powered the train between New Orleans and El Paso, and EMD E7 and E9 diesel locomotives in A-B-B sets pulled the train between El Paso and Los Angeles. Between 1950 and 1958 the diesel locomotives were painted in the Southern Pacific's "Daylight" scheme; in the 1960s and 70s EMD F7 diesel locomotives in SP's "Bloody Nose" scheme powered the train on the entire run.
A typical consist from the early 1950s included:[citation needed]
A typical consist between October 1970 and April 1971 (the last months under Southern Pacific's thrice-weekly operation):
During the decline in the 1960s more and more services on board were cut back, culminating in the elimination of the dining car, lounge car and all sleeping cars. By 1968 the once proud streamliner had three cars: a baggage car, a coach and an automat lunch counter car. The Sunset was even combined with the Golden State passenger train west of El Paso in 1964. In October 1970 the Sunset's daily service between New Orleans and Los Angeles was reduced to tri-weekly, but with full dining and sleeping car service returning over the entire route. This was the state of the train when Amtrak took control in May 1971.
Amtrak retained the Sunset unchanged, while it dropped the Gulf Wind, which was operated between New Orleans and Jacksonville, Florida, by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad (previously the Seaboard Air Line Railroad).
The tracks between New Orleans and Jacksonville remained unused by passenger trains from the Amtrak takeover until April 29, 1984, when an Amtrak train called the Gulf Coast Limited, running between New Orleans and Mobile, Alabama, began service, seeking to regenerate some form of regional intercity rail traffic between large cities, outside of the Northeast. However, this train only lasted until January 6, 1985. Almost five years later, on October 27, 1989, the track segment between Mobile and Flomaton, Alabama, came into passenger train use as part of the route of the Gulf Breeze. This was another attempt to regenerate regional intercity rail traffic, this time between Birmingham and Mobile, AL. The train was actually a reestablishment of the Mobile section of Amtrak's New York-to-New Orleans Crescent. It branched from the Crescent's route at Birmingham, AL, turning south heading toward Montgomery, Flomaton, and terminating in Mobile. The Gulf Breeze was discontinued in 1995.
Meanwhile, on April 4, 1993, the entire New Orleans-to-Jacksonville route reestablished passenger train service with the extension of the Sunset Limited to Jacksonville and later, Miami, using the route of Amtrak's Silver Meteor south of Jacksonville. The train's eastern endpoint was later cut back from Miami to Orlando due to the difficulties associated with turning the equipment in time if either east or westbound trainset was delayed. Amtrak's operating reliability could never achieve the consistency needed to coordinate movements between what were two separate trains.
On September 22, 1993, the locomotives and some cars of the eastbound Sunset Limited derailed and fell off a bridge into water near Mobile, Alabama, in Amtrak's worst train wreck, the Big Bayou Canot train disaster. 47 people died.
On October 9, 1995, saboteurs derailed the Sunset Limited near Harqua, Arizona by removing 29 spikes from a section of track, and short-circuited the signal system to conceal the sabotage.[3]
On June 2, 1996, the Sunset Limited was rerouted to a more southerly route between Tucson, Arizona, and Yuma, Arizona, bypassing Phoenix, Arizona, in order to accommodate the Union Pacific Railroad's desire to abandon a portion of its Phoenix-to-Yuma "West Line". This made Phoenix one of the largest cities in the nation without direct Amtrak passenger service, although the designated Phoenix-area stop is in Maricopa, a suburban community about 40 miles south of downtown Phoenix. (Some Phoenix passengers choose instead to travel to Tucson to board the train.) As of early 2006, however, the West Line had not yet been abandoned, and construction activities suggested that Union Pacific might reopen the line.
On August 28, 2005, the Sunset Limited route was truncated at San Antonio, Texas, as a result of damage to trackage in the Gulf Coast area caused by Hurricane Katrina. In late October 2005, service was restored between San Antonio and New Orleans, as the line through southwest Louisiana had by that time been repaired.
As time has passed, particularly since the January 2006 completion of the rebuilding of damaged tracks east of New Orleans by their owner CSX Transportation Inc., the obstacles to restoration of the Sunset Limited's full route have been more managerial and political than physical. Advocates for the train's restoration have pointed to revenue figures for Amtrak's fiscal year 2004, the last full year of coast-to-coast Sunset Limited service. During that period, the Orlando-New Orleans segment accounted for 41% of the Sunset's revenue.[4]
Section 226 of the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (H.R. 2095), signed into law by President Bush on October 16, 2008, giving Amtrak nine months to provide Congress with a plan for restoring service that "shall include a projected timeline for restoring such service, the costs associated with restoring such service, and any proposals for legislation necessary to support such restoration of service."[5]
Future service on the segment east of New Orleans has not yet been determined, but according to Brian Rosenwald, an Amtrak executive, and what he has said in New Orleans, there will be something by 2012, even though implementation could be later.[6] Furthermore, from the same meeting, due to the plans to restructure the Texas Eagle to operate over the Sunset's route west of San Antonio, the train will still make use of Amtrak's bi-level Superliner fleet but only as a stub train with thru-cars that come and go from Los Angeles.[6] Whether or not the Sunset name will remain is yet to be seen. What is known, though, comes from the July 2010 issue of Trains magazine in which the stub train will make use of the recent addition to the Superliner equipment, the Diner-Lounge car.[7] However, according to the December 2010 issue, the plans were halted when Union Pacific stated that in order to accomplish even a daily Sunset Limited, $750 million[8] would need to be paid by Amtrak in order for proper infrastructure improvements. Also included in establishing daily service was an updated timetable, with a return to a late-night departure at 10:30 pm from Los Angeles and an earlier departure from New Orleans at 9:45 am. The schedule change would provide daylight service in Arizona (10:17 am eastbound and 6:49 pm westbound), cut transfer time from eastbound Sunset to northbound Texas Eagle to 50 minutes, cut eastbound San Antonio layover time to one hour, provide daylight service to Houston (11:58 am eastbound and 6:25 pm westbound), and restore both late-night service to New Orleans (9:00 pm) and a restored connection to the Coast Starlight (5:05 am).[9] March 2012 brought news that the Sunset would indeed receive an overhaul to its schedule on May 7, 2012, moving its Westbound movements from New Orleans to a Monday, Wednesday, Saturday circuit. Also included in these changes are restored daylight service to both Houston (11:10 a.m. eastbound, 6:18p westbound) and Tucson (7:28 a.m. eastbound, 6:45p westbound); a 10:00 p.m. departure from Los Angeles eastbound and a 5:35 a.m. arrival westbound; and arrival into New Orleans at 9:40 p.m. eastbound and departing westbound at 9:00 a.m.[10]

Recently, I have been dress shopping because I'm going to a formal this spring! This is kind of the prom equivalent for college. But, dress shopping in general is so much fun. If you're anything like me, you'll enjoy fantasizing over all the beautiful qualities that make the prettiest of ball gowns.
Sheer tops: I used to think that anything that was high cut was rather cumbersome around my neck, but I've changed my mind to some degree. If there's a dress with a sheer dress, especially one like this with a beautiful floral design women in, then I find it to create a look that is beautifully sophisticated and elegant.
Something pastel: Personally, I prefer light pastels, nudes or darker colors in general. There has been a trend, and I truly don't know why, of florescent, neon dresses for prom. This is not intended to offend anyone, but I find them to be overly show-stopping; it looks like wearing a traffic sign for a dress! Pastels are less blaring, but they are also feminine and easy on the eye.
Beaded: Small beading is something quintessentially beautiful to me! They do weigh down dresses, but this dress, paired with the ballerina nude pink tone, makes for a gown I would love wearing. Beads glitter, but aren't gaudy. What do you think?
Lacy and form-complimenting: This Oscar de la Renta dress is simply gorgeous. I would have to have died and gone to heaven if I were given the opportunity to wear such a jaw-dropping piece of work! I love lace, especially when it is real and not simply a patterned piece of fabric. Also, finding a dress shape (a-line, trumpet, mermaid, etc.) that works for your body is definitely the biggest key item to look for.
Something Ethereal, or Unique: While I don't think I would buy this dress, there are certain qualities of it that I really love. Firstly, this is a gown that isn't going to be found just anywhere. It's unique and while neutrally toned, still catches the eye. I love the (chiffon?) that creates a mystical look at the bottom, and the intricate beaded detail, as well as the lace details on the shoulders and down the sides of the dress.
Lovelies, what do you look for in a special occasion dress?

Many of the historical problems with adoption came from the desire to keep it secret, to allow adoptive families to "pass" as traditional, biologically related families. Fully embracing openness is key to our efforts to keep improving adoption and placing further distance between its dark and coercive past and its hopeful future.
The Other Side of Reproductive Justice: How Sterilization and Other Forms of Coercion Are Used Against "Unworthy" Parents
Coercive sterilizations and castration are at the extreme end of a spectrum that also includes criminal sanctions for drug use during pregnancy and barring LBGT individuals from in-vitro fertilization services and adoption, as well as a host of other policies geared at making pregnancy and parenting difficult for those deemed unworthy.
Inter-country Adoption: Steep Declines in International Adoptions by U.S. Parents Reflect Mixed Record
For many committed to intercountry adoption, it is unfortunate that since the year 2004 the practice has declined more than 50%. An important question is: what is happening? The answer is complex. To begin with, the unfortunate reality is that intercountry adoption has a mixed history.
Corpses Don't Rebel: Former Quiverfull Mom Reacts to Death of Hana Williams by "Biblical Chastisement" via Corporal Punishment
Trigger Warning: This article contains graphic descriptions of infant and child abuse.
The death toll from parents following Michael and Debi Pearl's teachings continues to mount. Another child is has been "biblically chastened" to death via corporal punishment, and Michael Pearl is defending his teachings in the mainstream media while promoting his new book.
A well-known surrogacy attorney in California used her networks and well-financed practice to dupe families into paying over $100,000 for a child based on a fraudulent scenario. Basically, those looking to secure a child were told that a surrogacy arrangement had fallen apart—the intended parents backing out of the arrangement. This was false and a story constructed for fraud.
Even after the Silsby affair, when ten American missionaries were arrested in Haiti for attempted child theft, the Christian adoption movement is unchastened.
A British Columbia judge has ruled that anonymity for gamete donors in the Canadian province is unconstitutional and that the law is discriminatory because it does not give donor children the ability to identify their biological parents.
Washington may become first in the nation to establish statewide regulation of "Limited Service Pregnancy Centers," ensuring women know exactly what they will – and won't – get when seeking care.
As global surrogacy grows largely unregulated, the effects of celebrity surrogacy arrangements may have deeply adverse consequences for poor women worldwide.

The same thing should apply to radio
Submitted by Guest45755 (not verified) on Thu, 12/13/2012 - 9:58pm.
The inverse should also apply. There's a local (sort of) car dealer who's radio commercials consistently play the "fine print" at a volume much lower than the subsequent commercial. Generally, they play "noise" - fireworks, Christmas bells, turkeys gobbling, etc - over the disclaimers that are already at a reduced volume for the sole purpose of hiding what they are saying.

Evangelical leaders pushing for comprehensive immigration reform will be back in Washington next week, praying and lobbying on Capitol Hill.
They'll need all the help they can get — divine or otherwise — after the Senate's immigration reform bill hit a brick wall of opposition in the Republican-controlled House.
Dozens of Catholic university presidents sent a letter Thursday to Catholic members of Congress urging them to act, declaring, "We are part of an immigrant church in an immigrant nation."
From Nuns on the Bus to the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, religious forces have pressed lawmakers on a path to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants. They were largely successful in the Senate, but the outlook is less clear in the more conservative House.
"If anyone should be able to speak to some of these House Republicans, it should be particularly some of these evangelical groups," said Ruth Melkonian-Hoover, chair of the political science department at Gordon College, an evangelical school in Massachusetts.
"They should really be heard … in terms of not only making a moral argument as to why Republicans ought to pay attention. I think many are making a very careful and prudent argument."
Members of the Evangelical Immigration Table [7] — whose membership draws from many of the same sources as the GOP — are promoting principles of human dignity, family unity, secure borders, respect for the rule of law, and fairness for taxpayers.
In their letter to House members, more than 90 Catholic educators urged them to "draw wisdom and moral courage from our shared faith tradition" that values human dignity: "We remind you that no human being made in the image of God is illegal."
The Rev. Kevin Wildes, president of Loyola University New Orleans, said he hopes they can help make a difference, especially for "children who made no choice in this matter but they're penalized for it."
"I'm just hoping that we can nudge at least some of the Catholic members of Congress," he said.
According to the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities, almost one-tenth of the 535 members of Congress are graduates of Jesuit institutions. That includes 11 in the Senate and 41 in the House. Among them: House Speaker John Boehner, a graduate of Xavier University in Ohio.
Boehner has said [8] the House will not consider "the flawed legislation rushed through the Senate" but he is open to a stand-alone bill that would offer legal status to children who entered the country illegally.
Proponents had hoped for House action before the August congressional recess. But Suzii Paynter, executive coordinator of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, said more time could be a help.
"I think the faith community has a very good opportunity to speak with their elected representatives back at home," said Paynter, who spoke at a July 10 forum on immigration reform [9] at the George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas.
She said they can discuss how the economy could improve with a path to citizenship, and how churches could offer free English classes to people completing language requirements needed for a green card.
But as religious advocates push for reform, opponents are pushing back as well.
"They'll do an ad in a district, but we'll go to our evangelical members and have them calling up the congressman, identifying the church that they go to, and saying as an evangelical, I want you to put the interest of unemployed Americans first," said Roy Beck, president of NumbersUSA [10], which opposes comprehensive immigration reform.
NumbersUSA says about a third of its members are evangelical.
Evangelicals for Biblical Immigration [11], a fledgling ad hoc network, warned that comprehensive immigration reform will ease asylum. It sent a June letter to Congress — now signed by more 1,200 people — to say that not all evangelicals support the Evangelical Immigration Table.
"They are getting to Congress members through a well-funded campaign, and also some important concerns about the need for reform," said Kelly Monroe Kullberg, who spearheaded the letter and is president of Christians for a Sustainable Economy. "EBI desires both justice to citizens and kindness to guests."
The Evangelical Immigration Table, which claims 25,000 prayer partners, is planning a "day of prayer and action" on July 24. Both evangelicals and Democrats warned GOP leaders not to ignore their base on this issue.
"As Republicans worry about making gains among constituencies that opposed them in 2012 — women, youth, Latinos, African-Americans," Michael Wear, who oversaw religious outreach for Obama's re-election campaign, wrote in The Atlantic [12], "they would be wise to not discount the chance that they stand on the precipice of losing the support of one of the strongest elements of their base: evangelicals."

Allergan Acquires Esprit Pharma
Allergan (AGN) said Wednesday it will acquire Esprit Pharma in a $370 million deal that expands its stance in the genitourinary market.
Allergan expects the all-cash transaction, in which it will pay $370 million for all outstanding securities of privately held Esprit, to close in the fourth quarter. The deal sparks a new licensing agreement with Indevus Pharmaceuticals (IDEV).
Esprit licenses from Indevus and currently markets twice-daily Sanctura, a treatment for overactive bladder -- OAB. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently approved an extended-release once-daily formulation, Sanctura XR. Allergan anticipates launching Sanctura XR in the first quarter and said it will increase Esprit's sales force.
Pending the close of the acquisition, Allergan said it expects Esprit will contribute revenue of $6 million to $12 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. With the launch of Sanctura XR and the increase in Esprit's sales force taken into consideration, Allergan believes the transaction will be dilutive by 4 cents to 6 cents a share, excluding items.Allergan said it still anticipates upper-teens earnings growth in 2008, based on the pretransaction 2007 guidance of $2.16 to $2.18 a share it provided with second-quarter results. The company said the transaction should be significantly accretive to earnings and revenue after 2008.

we got some donations and Today was sunday so my father took us to the store and i bought the biggest pack of dog food.
i also bought a lot of canned dog food for white Puppy.
On the way to the store i fed the dogs as usual but only white puppy was there this time.
February 26, 2014
this is hoppy,I call him Hoppy because his left back leg doesn't work and he hops around he likes to hop around the neighborhood and
i can only feed him some times.
February 27, 2014
i am so excited because , today was a big day for me and the family of stray dogs!
we still didn't have enough money to have a place to have a animal shelter so first my father asked his friends and
both he and his friends turned our garage into a small pet shelter for white puppy and his family to stay for the mean time.
our small animal shelter has a wall to keep our own dogs from getting mange from white puppy and his family.here is my dog Chulo on
the other side of the wall.
The dogs were brave enough and trusted me so they could come very near me now.so that's how i took the dogs here.
We also bought 4 dog bowls for white puppy and his family but i wasn't able to get Hoppy because i didn't see him
so for now only White Puppy,Blackie and Brownie are staying with us.
we invited the vet Doctor G into our garage to check on the dogs and he scrapped some skin off the dogs to find out what kind of mange
they have.he also injected them to help weaken the mange.
Doctor G said,i have to give them a bath with a special shampoo for their mange with warm water.i hope they will get better soon so
someone will adopt them but Doctor G said it will take a while.
March 1, 2014
today me and father gave the family of stray dogs a bath.it was probably the first time that these dogs took a bath.They were very scared
and very dirty.we
scrubbed a special soap that makes them get healthier and gets rid of the mange.it took a long time to give them a bath because we have
to keep the special soap on their skin for 15 minutes and then you have to keep a special shampoo on their skin for 30 minutes.they do
look much cleaner now but while we were giving them a bath Brownie pooped
twice! after giving them a bath my father cleaned the bath with bleach and i fed the dogs a lot because they were hungry.
and in a few days from now we will do it again.
March 3, 2014
We took some pictures of White puppy after her second bath. before it was hard to see anything because of dirt
this was a few days ago she is already starting to look better
March 8, 2014
my dad built a dog house and i made a sign.some times all 3 of them stay inside But blackie likes to lie down under the floor when its hot
March 13, 2014
The injuries on Brownie' s head are now completely closed!
Before they looked like this.
March 21, 2014
i am very sorry that i haven't given news or new pictures these days.we had a lot of busy things this closing program for school.its already
the summer vacation here in the philippines.
my dad was a little busy today to take pictures so i took a selfie with brownie.
March 22, 2014
i found that the dogs were chewing a piece of wood.
so i got them some dentastix to chew on.they loved them and ate them very quickly! i gave them one stick each.
brownie always likes to eat inside the dog house.
isnt she cute
april 20, 2014
today was Easter Sunday so my dad said he would take us to an easter egg hunt.i said that i wanted to take the rescue dogs to the park and
we went to a park where i play soccer.the dogs were so happy they ran around and chased each other and drank a lot of water.i think it was
their first time in a wide open place because at first they were scared to walk on the grass.
in the car on the way home.it was their first time in a car but they got used it to right away.my dad was worried about the
dogs puking or pooping in the car but they behaved all the way.
May 6, 2014
We've been having a lot of blackouts (we call them brownouts) lately because there isn't enough electricity for everyone.
The power company shuts down the power a lot, sometimes 6 hours a day. If it goes on for more than 3 hours the water
also goes off, and sometimes it doesn't come back on that day. This is the reason why Blackie hasn't had her operation yet.
May 20, 2014 - meet Dipper
Today at 7:00 in the morning Danny, a guy from the neighborhood who knows I rescue animals came to our house and delivered a very small
puppy and asked me to take care of it. He is a very nice puppy with a white tip on his tail but he is very thin and sick. When I
weighted him the scale said 0.0.
I gave him food but he only ate a little bit. He was really dirty so I gave him a really hot bath but he still has ticks in his ears.
I took him to our vet Dr G and he put him an IV in him. He explained that the crust on the eyes means he has an infection.
The vet asked me to leave Dipper at the clinic. He later pooped 2 different kinds of worms. There were a lot of worms.
Happy Animals Club has received a lot of attention and I got a lot of emails, I'm sorry I haven't replied to them yet, I was going
to do that today but I spent most of the day with Dipper. I promise I will write emails tomorrow.

Ugh. I was kind of enjoying the catfight before full-blown stupid waddled in through the saloon doors and started breaking wind.
"Quite revealing, quite revealing. Yes. Yes. Since you asked, Lois, I find this meatloaf to be shallow and pedantic. You have shamed yourself in our eyesFART FART FART."
Let's lock this down once and for all:
(1) Manning supporters want the parade to be about Manning. They do not give a solitary fuck if this turns the annual event into a NASCAR rally of pseudoprogressive causes. ("Mumia! Mumia! Wasn't Gay! Free the man now anyway!!") They (and you) have shown in this thread alone that they'd casually burn the whole damn thing to the ground if they can't have their way.
(2) Manning is NOT a national hero. His treatment is abominable, but what he did could have been more so. As has already been argued ad nauseum, it was only dumb fortune that he didn't get more people killed than a thousand drone strikes. By all indications, he dumped the docs for no other reason than he had the opportunity to, and thought he'd "become an hero" (sic). His supporters are using his completely-unrelated orientation to make the SF celebration All About Him (And Them).
(3) A handful of butthurt purity-on-a-pedestal cause-junkies does not equal "everyone else," despite the comparable noise they can make. Yes, YOU don't want to be part of the celebration anymore because YOU can't twist it to your will. That's YOU. And all your rowdy friends.
But the parade will go on long after everyone else has forgotten who the hell you ever were.
Happenstance commented on the blog post Pink Mail
I always enjoy anecdotes about how a given CEO works 30 hours a day, fifteen days a week, 520 days a year. Sure, Brinker's doing it because she's cancer's comic-book caped crusader. But when the CEO running my company sends his trolls out to inform everyone he hasn't slept since he was five, he's gotta wonder why we're all laughing so hard.

Wait wait wait.
The same people who were perfectly willing to throw the election and the entire nation to the warmongers of the GOP a few months ago because Obama "betrayed" them and hurted they fee-fees are now "concerned"-in-quotation-marks that, gasp, the military is killing people?
Christ WEPT, what a bunch of imbeciles. But at least their consciences are clean! That's all that really matters.

We have to remember that these yokels live most of their lives in a fantasyland in which all the bad guys wear either black hats or primary-colored spandex costumes, or are obscene racial/sexual stereotypes.
Then they turn the corner one day and come face-to-face with a "shooter" who is just another cracker doofus with a crazy look in his eyes and a gun, and it's like looking into a mirror and the world comes crashing down and OH MY GOD WHAT DO I DO NOW
It's why they masturbate so furiously over the murder of Treyvon Martin, endlessly screaming that he "must be guilty of sumpin';" it just better fits the script the act out in their skulls every day.

Dupuytrens contracture is a painless thickening and tightening (contracture) of tissue beneath the skin on the palm of the hand and fingers.
The cause is unknown. Family history of Dupuytrens contracture makes you more likely to develop this condition. It does not seem to be caused by occupation or from trauma.
The condition is more common after age 40. Men are affected more often than women. Risk factors are alcoholism, diabetes, and smoking.
One or both hands may be affected. The ring finger is affected most often, followed by the little, middle, and index fingers.
A small, painless nodule or lump develops in the tissue below the skin on the palm side of the hand. Over time, it thickens into a cord-like band.
It becomes difficult to extend or straighten the fingers. In severe cases, straightening them is impossible.
The doctor will examine your hands. Diagnosis can usually be made from the telltale signs of Dupuytrens contracture. Other tests are rarely needed.
Your doctor may recommend exercises, warm water baths, or splints.
Surgery may be done to release the contracture. Normal movement of the fingers is usually restored by surgery followed by physical therapy exercises for the hand.
A newer treatment involves injecting a substance called collagenase into the scarred or fibrous tissue. Three injections are needed. You may have side effects such as swelling, pain, and itching. A more rare but severe side effect is rupture of the tendon.
The disorder progresses at an unpredictable rate. Surgical treatment can usually restore normal movement to the fingers. The disease can recur following surgery in up to half of cases within 10 years.
Worsening of the contracture may result in deformity and loss of function of the hand.
There is a risk of injury to blood vessels and nerves during surgery.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of this disorder.
Awareness of risk factors may allow early detection and treatment.
