She and her husband, Earl, moved to the ranch two years ago, along with eleven of their brood of 22 children. Earl, a Baptist minister, had recently retired and planned to fix up the old house that was on the property, perhaps even build another, nicer one just up the hill. They hoped to get some horses for the kids.
They didnt want their children growing up on the rough streets of Flint, Michigan.
Looking back on it now, the dream seems like a cruel joke.
Friends say that maybe it comes down to racism; maybe not. But the fact is that when the Veaseys moved to Kiowa, there were fewer than 120 other blacks in sparsely populated Elbert County.
Two and a half months into the 1999-2000 school year, Diane pulled her kids out of the local school after theyd been subjected to taunts, racial slurs and death threats. She found a former Denver Public Schools teacher to educate her children and set them up in a makeshift classroom on the first floor of the Veasey home.
Things quickly went from bad to worse. In April last year, Earl was paralyzed in an automobile accident near their home; the Veaseys filed suit against the county, claiming that poorly maintained roads were to blame for the crash.
Diane now believes that the suit, which is still pending, might have biased county officials against the family and set the stage for what happened next.
In early November, based on a tip that one of the girls might have been sexually molested by one or more brothers, Elbert County deputies swooped in and removed all three girls from the household and placed them in foster homes. Accusations of abuse and neglect were eventually heaped onto the allegations of incest. In January, the sheriff came for the boys, too. The county department of social services even removed the Veaseys 23-year-old handicapped son and placed him in a special-care facility in Sterling.
The following month, based on the observations of a court-appointed special advocate, the Veaseys were ordered to have no contact with their daughters, even though Diane and her husband had never been charged with abuse. (The advocate, a volunteer, was to assist social services and make recommendations.)
The Veaseys had prepared themselves for a fight from the beginning, but the battle to regain their children took a greater emotional and physical toll than they could have foreseen. Earl died of a heart attack this past March, less than two weeks from his 51st birthday.
Only one of the children was permitted to attend his funeral.
Now, nearly six months after the first allegations arose, only four of the Veasey children have been allowed to return home, three of them in the past two weeks. Two of the teenage boys are living at the Marvin W. Foote Youth Services Center in Arapahoe County while they await trial on charges that they molested their twelve-year-old sister. That girl has not yet been allowed to come home. Three of her brothers, including the 23-year-old, remain in others' care, with no date set for their return. Another, age eighteen, has moved out.
The sexual-assault case appears to be crumbling. Reportedly, at least one of the accusers and the alleged victim herself are no longer cooperating with authorities, and the 18th District deputy district attorney has asked that some of the charges against the Veasey boys be dropped.
And as county officials shield themselves behind a gag order surrounding the case, the matter appears to have come down to this: The remainder of Diane Veasey's children will not be allowed to come home unless she agrees to send them back to public school -- the same place she took them from because she believed their lives were in danger.
For Diane, one of the hardest things she's had to face is that the disaster sprang from within her own family. She claims the sexual-abuse allegations that got the entire case rolling were made up by her oldest son, age 32, who contacted the sheriff's office after his parents refused to loan him $30,000.
This isn't the first time this son has made such allegations, she says. It is, however, the first time anyone believed him.
Diane, a native of Little Rock, Arkansas, was divorced and the mother of three before she turned twenty, but she was determined to better herself and make a life for her children. She began taking classes at night, hoping to nab a clerical job.
She was finishing up those courses and working at the Coachman's Inn in Little Rock, when she met fellow employee Earl Veasey. She hadn't planned to jump right into a second marriage, Diane says, but Earl was a charmer.
They married in 1971, and Earl took Diane's three children -- Ronald, Niki and Yvonne -- as his own.
The two of them never really discussed how many kids they wanted to have, Diane says. They both came from large families -- she was one of eight children, he one of eleven -- and having lots of children underfoot seemed natural. As for birth control, Diane figured God could call a halt to the procreation "anytime He got ready."

Breathing is something most of us don't usually think about. If we're still alive and breathing, we must be doing it right, right? Wrong.
Let's start with the disadvantages of rapid, upper chest breathing. Things I see in my physical therapy practice every day. Like neck pain, low back pain, anxiety, poor sleep, cold hands and feet. And headaches. Especially headaches. In all my years of practice, I have never, not once, met someone suffering from headaches who breathed well. (Most of my clients with headaches have a similar story: headaches for years, poor sleep, cold hands and feet, tight neck muscles–all related to upper chest breathing).
Let's get to the good news…
What are the advantages of breathing well, that is, slow, diaphragmatic breathing? There are SO many advantages that I can't even begin to list– much less describe– them all here. Let's start with three important ways breathing well is related to feeling well, as in, less pain.
Diaphragmatic breathing promotes the relaxation response. One of the the ways it does this is by activating the vagus nerve (which lies close to the diaphragm, so when we breathe deeply and the diaphragm moves up and down, the vagus nerve is stimulated). 75% of the parasympathetic (rest and repair) nervous systems's fibers come from the vagus nerve, so the vagus nerve is a VERY big player in the relaxation response. So much so, that slow, deep breathing is one of the most efficient, non-medication ways we have of going from the state of "fight or flight" (where most of us tend to hang out) to the much more healthy "rest and repair." When our bodies are in a relaxed state our brains are considerably less likely to perceive input as threatening, and so pain signals are significantly turned down. Research has shown that decreasing anxiety can decrease a pain level of 7/10 to 3/10. Definitely significant.
Diaphragmatic breathing also improves oxygenation. Of course it does. Seems obvious. But did you know that the lower parts of our lungs are about 7 times more productive in oxygen transport than the upper parts? So when we breathe using our diaphragms (and thus the lower lobes), we get much more oxygen to all of our cells, including the cells in our hands and feet (they're warmer–a nice fringe benefit), and our nerve cells (less pain). And all healthy cells need oxygen. Only pathogens (unhealthy cells) don't.
Lastly, diaphragmatic breathing stimulates lymphatic drainage. Our lymphatic system has been compared to a sewage system (yuck!). It removes toxins, wastes and abnormal cells. The lymphatic system doesn't have any pumps, so it relies on muscle contraction and deep breathing to keep it moving. Using our diaphragms to breathe stimulates the cleansing of lymph nodes, increasing lymphatic drainage. This increases the rate of toxin elimination (including the byproducts of inflammation, which cause pain) by as much as 15 times!
Gil and I instruct every single person we treat in diaphragmatic breathing, including often using biofeedback training (a picture is worth a thousand words…). If you'd like to learn more about the link between breathing and pain relief, or to schedule an appointment, give us a call (920.615.6055 or 920.835.1551) or send us an email (firstname.lastname@example.com). We'd love to hear from you!

Tour de France 2013: Chris Froome in yellow after stage win
Tour de France
- Dates: Saturday, 29 June - Sunday, 21 July (8 and 15 July are rest days)
Coverage: Live commentary on the final hours of each stage on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra or online; live text commentary on BBC Sport website
Chris Froome produced a sensational ride to emphatically win stage eight of the Tour de France and take his first race leader's yellow jersey.
The Briton sprinted away from his main rivals, including Alberto Contador, on the final climb to the summit finish at Ax 3 Domaines in the Pyrenees.
"That was an emphatic display by Chris Froome and Team Sky. It's been a tough week but he was chomping at the bit.
"Team Sky put a plan into action and it worked perfectly although I think they will be surprised just how much time they put into the likes of Alberto Contador because that final climb was not particularly long by Tour de France standards.
"I was very impressed with Peter Kennaugh's performance. We have been waiting a while to see him at a Grand Tour and he did a fantastic job on the penultimate climb and looked comfortable on that descent.
"The morale of Froome's rivals is going to have taken a big hit. They could try to attack on Sunday but they might not have the legs if Sky set the tempo high again.
"There are days coming up in the mountains where I can see Froome winning this like Tours of old."
He beat Richie Porte by 51 seconds and leads his Team Sky team-mate by the same margin in the overall standings.
Contador lost one minute, 45 seconds to Froome and is seventh, 1'51" down.
"I couldn't be happier," said 28-year-old Froome.
"It has been a nervous week leading up to now but my team has done a fantastic job and to repay my team-mates with a stage win and Richie coming second, I couldn't have asked for more."
South Africa's Daryl Impey started the day in the yellow jersey but the Orica GreenEdge rider, who is more of a sprinter than a climber, knew he would be losing the race lead on Saturday's first day in the mountains.
He suggested that Froome would be one of the riders to keep an eye on and the race favourite, who finished second behind Sir Bradley Wiggins last year, did not disappoint.
The first 120km of racing was reasonably flat and calm with a four-man breakaway - which included Christophe Riblon, who won a similar race to Ax 3 Domaines in the 2010 Tour - opening up a lead of more than nine minutes at one point.
However, the lead was slowly whittled away and was down to around one minute by the time the leaders had reached the bottom of the day's biggest climb - the hors categorie Col de Pailheres.
Riblon made a solo bid for the stage win on the ascent, while Team Sky controlled the pace of the peloton.
Several riders, including France's Tommy Voeckler, who won the 2012 King of the Mountains classification, and Dutch climber Robert Gesink also made solo breaks but they were soon caught and overtaken by Colombia's Nairo Quintana.
The Movistar rider then chased down Riblon and was first over the summit of the 2,001m-high Col de Pailheres to win the souvenir Henri Desgrange - the prize awarded to the first rider to reach the highest point of the overall race.
Team Sky's Peter Kennaugh took over the pacing duties towards the top of the climb and led the peloton on the descent, chipping away more than 30 seconds of the one minute advantage that Quintana had built up.
The Isle of Man rider then set a furious pace up the final 7.8km ascent to Ax 3 Domaines - so furious that he ran out of energy and was forced to drop away with around 6km remaining.
That left just Porte to pace Froome and the duo upped the tempo, catching and passing Quintana in the next kilometre before Froome took off on his own to record a memorable victory.
Not only did Froome beat the likes of two-time Tour winner Contador and Quintana by one minute, 45 seconds, he also put more than four minutes into 2011 champion Cadel Evans.
Alejandro Valverde, who was third on the stage, lost 1'08" but is third overall, 1'25" behind Froome.

- Tom Simpson - 1962 (1 day)
Slovakia's Peter Sagan picked up 10 points in the green points jersey classification after finishing behind Andre Greipel in the day's intermediate sprint, which came just before the mountain ascents.
With the four riders in the breakaway claiming the big points on offer, German Greipel won the race from the peloton to claim 11 points, with the Isle of Man's Mark Cavendish getting nine points.
Sunday's stage nine is a second and final day in the Pyrenees. The 165km race starts in Saint-Giron and features four category one mountain climbs and one category two ascent but finishes with a descent into Bagneres-de-Bigorre.

8th July 2013 - 15:34The problem with some of these doping comments is that they are based on little more than an opinion on what level of performance is reasonable for a clean athlete. With Lance it was different, there was a drip feed from many witnesses over many years. With Sky et al there is nothing more than suspicion. Don't accuse unless you have some facts.
Comment number 181.
8th July 2013 - 15:04Kennaugh was forceddown as other cyclist rode dangerously too close to edge before pushing back in. Nowadays with benefit over overhead cameras we have seen too many avoidable collisions often caused by cyclists taking unnecessary and uncalculated risks i.e Greipel stage 1. The only way riders will learn is for the commisionaire to hand out penalties.
Comment number 180.
8th July 2013 - 12:42Sky are superior because they are not just a random bunch of club mates. The riders are meticulously selected for every idividual role from the whole world of Pro cycling, by the richest team in the sport, then trained by the best trainers. Take Barcelona/ Real Madrid etc. No surprise!
They are also really totally based around the TdF- Skys haul of one day classics is very poor for such a squad -

"Accidents are part and parcel of the sport to suggest time penalties is la la land"
How patronising, and just plain wrong. You only have to go back a few years to see some big penalties in the TdF - e.g. Cav in 2009, Renshaw in 2010. Neither of these even caused a crash.
In Kennaugh's case, it would be hard to prove fault, which is probably why there was no punishment. -

8th July 2013 - 9:01177. ScottNeo. re. @175. You have to admit it definitely looked a bit dodgy, though!
The 'engine' of the Sky team from the previous day's stage, Peter Kennaugh' appeared to be barged into a ditch on the sort of stage where this type of accident is rare.

Foreclosure/REO appraisal
Homes in foreclosure and homes that have reverted to your institution's ownership present special appraisal challenges. At Fisher Appraisal Services, we're more than ready and able to help.
For a property in foreclosure, you may need to know the difference between fair market value and "quick disposition" value, to know your potential charge-off liability. At Fisher Appraisal Services, we have experience in both providing snapshots of fair market value for our mortgage lending and servicing clients as well as "quick sale" forecasts that understand your timeline.
Owners of property in foreclosure, of course, present special challenges. They may be unwilling to allow an inspection of the property. If they have abandoned the property already, they may have neglected care of the home for some time -- or worse, caused damage. We have the experience and training to deal with the special dynamics of a foreclosure appraisal, and you should not hesitate to rely on us.
For a property that has already reverted to Real Estate Owned, you likewise will be interested in a quick disposition. But you may want to know and compare three values: As-is, as repaired, and "quick sale." These represent the value of the property without any work done to it, with the work required to make the property marketable to full market value commensurate with competing properties in the area, and, somewhere in-between, with minimal investment in repairs -- selling the property quickly, probably as a "fixer-upper." Again, we understand your timeline and the unique circumstances of an REO property, as well as the special information you'll need -- competing listings, market trends, and the like.
Please browse our website to learn more about our qualifications, expertise and services offered.

AHL's Albany Devils to Face Off Against Bridgeport Sound Tigers
in Second of Four Game Series on Sunday, January 13
Atlantic City, NJ – Hockey fans, it's time for you to get up close and personal with your favorite sport once again!

In early February, the ODAC released its preseason Men's lacrosse rankings. It was not surprising to see Roanoke and Lynchburg at the top. Roanoke is coming off the 2010 season in which they were undefeated in all ODAC games, and Lynchburg returns it's most talented team in the last 10 years. Lynchburg has been trying to lessen the gap in the overall series record for the last couple of seasons, so a win against Roanoke is always a bonus (Roanoke leads the over all series, 31-6). Roanoke enjoys a win over the Hornets just the same, especially in Lynchburg.
When the Maroons and the Hornets take the field this Saturday evening, there's a lot more at stake than just ODAC bragging rights. With a win this Saturday, the victor will still be in Pool C consideration for the NCAA tournament and for the loser…it's the ODAC Tournament Championship automatic qualifier or bust.
The mood and intensity of the game will be futher heightened by what has happened to both teams in the last week. The Maroons have lost their last two non-conference games to opponents ranked in the top 15 and Lynchburg has done likewise. Both teams will be looking to end their losing streaks and turn their seasons around. Add all of the NCAA and ODAC incentives with the atmosphere of a Saturday night game where the field is beside the student dorms…this Saturday should be an exciting night of lacrosse.
There are couple of story lines to follow going into the game.
Roanoke is still trying to find their full-time goalie. Since the first game of the season, Coach Pilat has been using two goalies each game. Sophomore Mike Hardon typically starts the game and freshman Charlie Pease takes over at halftime. Both goalies have been fantastic with only a slight edge going to Hardon in saves, but to the naked eye, they're dead even. In Roanoke's last two games, they have also struggled to find any rhythm offensively. Stevenson was held to 16 goals in Roanoke's Wednesday game. It could have been more had it not been for the effort's of Roanoke's young defense and talented goalies. The Roanoke defensive unit is not built to hold teams to 5 goals, it's built to complement a powerful offense that can hold possession.
Lynchburg finds their offense in a similar position. They have been unable to score more than 10 goals this season. Against any other team, this wouldn't be a problem. However, if Roanoke's run 'n gun squad can find their rhythm again, the Hornets will need to be able to go goal for goal with the Maroons.
GoNoke.org will be at the Lynchburg game and a couple of Roanoke photographers have told us they plan to attend. Follow this link to Lynchburg's webcast of the game: http://lc.nmtvsports.com/(S(uhkz1vfaapz01worbk0kjglp))/sportzcastplayer.aspx

Magali Charousset and Brice Lambeaux met at hotel school in France in the 90's, became a couple, and took over from her parents at L'Auberge five years ago, setting up housekeeping on the second floor. She cooks, he does everything else: watering a customer's bulldog, running upstairs to fetch his hoodie for a Dutch lady who didn't pack for the mistral, pouring into pretty etched glasses the on-the-house sangria-like aperitif of red wine from the village cooperative, apple juice, and crème de cassis. Charousset and Lambeaux are so fresh-faced and approach their jobs with so much optimism they're like a pair of bistrotiers in a children's book. Or maybe the creators of Ratatouille should make a movie about them.
Charousset is a young fogy, mounding vol-au-vents with crayfish, splashing trout with walnut vinegar, using only beef cheeks in her daube, sweetening a succulent quail with prunes and raisins and flaming it with cognac, roasting peaches with red wine. She also has ideas of her own, some a little weird for such an old-fashioned girl. Soupe au pistou—Provençal vegetable soup—comes not with the traditional sauce of basil, garlic, and olive oil, but with a teeny bouquet of the herb in a glass of water, a can of oil posed directly on the table, and chopped red onion(!?). Charousset is a chef whose concept of great winter food is pot-au-feu, poule au pot, and tête de veau. You just have to assume she'll come around to serving soupe au pistou the right way.
The gold standard of Bistrots de Pays in the Midi is Emmanuelle Burollet's camera-ready Café de la Lavande, lost in the countryside in Lardiers, population 120, 62 miles from St.-Pantaléon. AOC Haute-Provence olive oil from Burollet's own trees is drawn and sold from a stainless-steel canister inside the front door. Bare wood and tile-top tables are freighted with old silver and lyrical still-lifes of lychees, squash, and clementines on ceramic platters. Armfuls of flowering almond branches screen soccer trophies behind the bar.
The hors d'oeuvres variées are amazing, and not because you're drunk on charm. Artichokes are prepared à la grecque (braised with lemon, olive oil, and coriander seeds), cornichons are fanned atop house-made duck pâté, and a gratin of puréed salt cod hides a fleecy interior. The daube is yet more unctuous than Donnini's. This may be the sticks, but Burollet is no bumpkin. For dessert, prunes join apples not in a cake but a terrine.
Lardiers's only other business is a pottery. Burollet would like a few more to shore up the place. She says she can use the help, but she is saving it by herself.

From Brash to Bawdy: Berlusconi's Most Revealing Gaffes
Europe is watching as Italians head to the polls this weekend to choose their next leader. All eyes will be on Silvio Berlusconi, a man who nearly drove his country to ruin and now has the prospect of getting re-elected. SPIEGEL ONLINE has collected some of the billionaire politician's most colorful quotes.
Italian media tycoon and three-time former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is known for his bravado. The 76-year-old conservative politician is also notorious for his involvement in multiple sex and corruption scandals that contributed to pressure on the ex-leader to step down as prime minister in November 2011.
But none of that has stopped him from throwing his hat into the ring following the resignation of his successor Mario Monti in December. Once again, Italy's richest man is running for office, with his fellow Italians set to cast their votes this weekend.
"Il Cavaliere," or "the knight," has never been shy about his opinions, many of which have not been considered particularly diplomatic -- or appropriate -- for a high-level politician. But that doesn't mean they aren't amusing. Click on the photo gallery above for a look back at the best of Berlusconi's remarks over the years.

She's a tough lady and fighting that infection but her white count went way up and the doctor popped her hiney in the hospital. They have her on IV's and hopefully that will take care of it. I'll try to keep you posted or Nelson may have better info as he lives closer. Thank you for your thought and prayers for Jan. Lynn |

I visited Jan today, and discovered that there ain't no such thing as a "virus" that can take away a woman's voice, least not for very long! LOL! Jan has an infection that didn't respond well to oral medication, thus her being hospitalized and placed on intravenous antibiotics. Hopefully she'll be all well soon and can return to her menagerie of plants & animals (as well as one loving mother-in-law whose world revolves around her). She looks good and very well-rested, feels fine, and is in good spirits. Along with your thoughts & prayers she's requesting cheeseburgers, fries and a shake, which the nurses busted me for within minutes of entering her room. If anything changes I'll keep ya'll posted, otherwise I hope she'll be home by this weekend.... |

Paris Junior College to train hundreds through state funding
SULPHUR SPRINGS - More than 600 new employees at five Northeast Texas companies will receive training as part of a $740,000 grant from the Texas Workforce Commission.
The state agency recently awarded the money to Paris Junior College, who will administer the training to Aeorstar International, Flowserve Coprporation, Morningstar Foods and Ocean Spray Cranberries of Sulphur Springs, as well as Red River Compression Services in Clarksville.
Texas Workforce Commission Chairman Andres Alcantar tells the Sulphur Springs News-Telegram, "Our commitment is to work in partnership with our top community colleges that are so important to what we do. I've been very insistent about one thing and that is that our community colleges are central to [the Workforce Commission] strategy for workforce development."
The job training dollars are part of Texas' Skills Development Fund, which promotes collaboration among businesses, community and technical colleges, local workforce development Boards and economic development partners.
A total of $48 million in Skills Development Funds will be awarded during the two-year fiscal period of September 1, 2011 – August 31, 2013.

Jul. 7 (GIN) – A Philadelphia church is calling the outpouring of support for the Liberian community "overwhelming" in light of the deaths of three 4 year olds and an infant during a fast-moving fire Saturday.
The fatalities included twin sisters Maria and Marialla Bowah, and Patrick Sanyeah - and Taj Jacque, who was not quite 7 weeks old. Eight row houses were totally incinerated in the blaze.
A large number of Liberian emigres live in the neighborhood in the Mount Moriah section of Southwest Philadelphia that saw the deadly fire.
At the church on the corner at Gesner and South 65th Streets, bags of clothes, crates of water, stacks of canned goods and other supplies have been piled high in the basement amidst Spider-Man and Ironman balloons and stuffed animals.
"Did we image the response? No, we did not. It was overwhelming," the Rev. Napolean L. Divine,
Pastor of Christ International Baptist Church told an interviewer at Philly.com. The church has been in the neighborhood since 2001.
The neighborhood is made up of first- and second generation West African immigrant families, many of them from Liberia. Divine came to the U.S. from Liberia more than 30 years ago. The children who died came from families of Liberian immigrants.
Since the late 1990s, more refugees have arrived in Philadelphia from Liberia than from any other country—about 3,300 in total, escaping the civil wars that raged in the West African country from 1989 until 2003.
The city could provide a moral lesson to the heated national debate on immigration. While some refugees have encountered problems achieving upward mobility and dealing with neighborhood crime, settlers coming from countries in conflict are accustomed to overcoming hardships and finding ways to get by. In fact, refugee populations fighting to secure their own prosperity have been a driving force behind the economic resurgence of decaying cities and neighborhoods.
This isn't just a case of "huddled masses yearning to breathe free," said University of Pennsylvania's Associate Chair of City and Regional Planning Domenic Vitiello. Under the right conditions, adult refugees contribute to economic growth, fill specialized labor niches and help revitalize commercial corridors.

The United Nations is urging the Syrian government to let humanitarian relief workers into the country.
U.N. humanitarian chief Valerie Amos traveled to Syria Wednesday to urge both sides to allow aid workers "unhindered access" into the hardest hit areas to evacuate the wounded and deliver essential supplies.
The visit comes as Syrian President Bashar al-Assad continues to defy international pressure to stop the government's violent crackdown.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said it's time for the United States to act, but military leaders say that's risky because opposition groups could be aligned with al Qaeda or other terrorist groups.
On Capitol Hill Tuesday, McCain urged top military officials to figure out the logistics.
"I would hope, I would hope we would spend some time with your unique capabilities finding out who these people are," he said. "I'm surprised you haven't tried to do that before."
"You should do it because this conflict is going to go on and a whole lot of people are going to die if we allow the status quo to prevail and the slaughter to continue because quote, 'We don't know who they are,'" McCain said.
The U.N. said more than 7,500 people have been killed since the uprising started more than a year ago, while activists put the death toll at more than 8,000.

PELL-INTOLERANCE Mar-10-2009 (580 words) xxxi
Australian cardinal calls for confrontation of religious intolerance
By Simon Caldwell
Catholic News Service
LONDON (CNS) -- Confronting religious intolerance regularly and publicly is among the "crucial tasks" of Christians in the 21st century, said an Australian cardinal.
Cardinal George Pell of Sydney said the Catholic Church's freedom in the Western world was under pressure from a new and dangerous trend of the use of anti-discrimination laws and human rights claims to attack the role of religion in public life and individuals' right of conscience.
In a March 6 lecture titled "Varieties of Intolerance: Religious and Secular," he said Christians needed to "recover their self-confidence and courage" if they were to counter the problem.
"Put simply, Christians have to recover their genius for showing that there are better ways to live and to build a good society," he told the Oxford University Newman Society.
"The secular and religious intolerance of our day needs to be confronted regularly and publicly," he said. "Believers need to call the bluff of what is, even in most parts of Europe, a small minority with disproportionate influence in the media. This is one of the crucial tasks for Christians in the 21st century."
As his primary example of mounting intolerance, Cardinal Pell cited the treatment of U.S. Christians and Mormons who supported Proposition 8, the constitutional amendment that reversed California's gay marriage law in November.
He described how churches and temples were subjected to violence, vandalism and intimidation, and how some supporters of the amendment were forced from their jobs and blacklisted.
"We should note the strange way in which some of the most permissive groups and communities, for example, Californian liberals in the case of Proposition 8, easily become repressive, despite all their high rhetoric about diversity and tolerance," he said.
"There is the one-sidedness about discrimination and vilification," he said, because anti-Christian "blacklisting and intimidation is passed over in silence."
Cardinal Pell added that in a healthy democracy people should be free to discuss and criticize each other's beliefs.
Reciprocity, he said, was essential to this but "some secularists seem to like one-way streets," seeking to drive Christianity from the provision of education, health care and welfare services to the wider community.
The cardinal predicted a "major escalation in the culture wars" if President Barack Obama signed into law the Freedom of Choice Act, which would sweep away restrictions on abortion and deny medical practitioners and hospitals the right to conscientiously object to participating in abortions. As of March 10, the act had not been introduced in Congress.
"Clearly there is an urgent need to deepen public understanding of the importance and nature of religious freedom," said Cardinal Pell. "Believers should not be treated by government and the courts as a tolerated and divisive minority whose rights must always yield to the minority secular agenda."
He explained that the effect of the rising intolerance of modern liberalism was to "enforce conformity" and to strip Christianity of the power of its public witness.
"There is no need to drive the church out of services if the secularization of its agencies can achieve this end," he added.
The pressure against religion in public life, he said, stemmed mainly from a misplaced belief in "absolute sexual freedom."
He said that as sexual freedom became a driver of consumption, people could see the "re-emergence of slavery in Europe and Asia, the booming exploitation of pornography and prostitution, and the commercialization of surrogacy, egg donation, and the production and destruction of human embryos and human stem-cell lines."

I'm very proud of how citizens in both the Empire and Keystone states are pitching in to make a difference in their communities. USA Today recently reported that -- despite the economy -- more and more Americans have been donating their time, energy, and effort to make a difference for the better in their communities in what a federal official calls a "compassion boom."
Indeed, Americans are "giving back" to their communities in many ways: volunteering in hospitals, homeless shelters, soup kitchens, food banks, helping the elderly, working with young people, building houses for the poor, and so on. This increased community activity falls within the proud American tradition of volunteerism and community service, a tradition that dates back to the founding of our great republic. It is especially refreshing to see tens of millions of Americans pitching in to make a difference in tough times.
At the end of the day, citizens can make a huge difference for the better in the communities in which they reside. The politicians and bureaucrats in places like Albany and Harrisburg can only do so much and sometimes that means not very much. Witness the problems in both Albany and Harrisburg since June.
The fact is that everyday Americans working to make their neighborhoods and communities better places to live can do so much more than the politicians and bureaucrats.
On a final note: I invite people to send me their comments. I would like to read more comments from people on the air. Comment below, or send me an email.
- Dr. Coleman also airs commentaries and a public affairs program on WETM 18 Elmira. For more information on these programs, go to wetmtv.com.
Your Comments(please keep them on topic and polite)
Hi Dr. Coleman,
I really appreciated your article and hearing how the giving of time and 'sweat equity' has increased. Unfortunately, financial donations are down for the first time in over two decades. Let's be honest-it's harder for many of us to give money than it was a year ago.
In response to the challenge, we have just launched a new free website from down here in the Catskills that gives its users savings through the use of online coupons and discounts. As the site receives income from the coupon suppliers, it will in turn donate 60% of all profits to the ministries and causes that the users select.
For every hundred people who clip coupons on a weekly basis, there would be a combined savings of about $130,000 per year and non-profits wold derive about $1,200 in donations. Of course, there's nothing to say that a person could not also contribute a portion of the money they have saved to charities and good causes as well.
Tony Cruickshank, Ministry/Media Relations, CommonKindness
I am a small business owner and would like to thank you for your commentary about volunteerism. I know that I would not be in business for long if I didn't have selfless volunteers behind the scenes making our operations run smoothly. I wish the government did more to help those who give of their time to benefit small business and not-for-profits. They give so much back to the community. Talk about cost-effectiveness.

I live in NE GA and have 8 apple trees. 4 are blooming, but the 4 that are not have a black discoloration on the trunk. They are contiguous in line, separate from the 4 healthy ones. Is this a common fungal infection or insect infestation. One of the diseased trees has a 2" x 6" area on the trunk where the bark is gone and the wood is soft and rotten. There are alot of fresh woodpecker holes on this one tree. I could cut this half of the trunk, but this tree may be a goner. I do show one of the healthy ones with new bud/leaf growth. I have contacted the UGA cooperative extension service, but wanted a comparison opinion. Thanks in advance. |

Four trees don't often die in the same spot, did something happen to the soil in the area around the trees, or is it in a low area that was flooded for a period? Usually its a root problem when this happens. Fireblight can kill trees but on bigger trees like that you will see it on the top and not at the base. What you are seeing on your trees just sounds like dead wood, no disease in particular. Scott |

Fiona Fox and Josephine Quintavalle disagree
In May 2008, after a debate lasting many months, Parliament voted to allow the creation of hybrid embryos of cow or rabbit and human cells. The hybrids are to overcome the shortage of human eggs for embryonic stem cell research, which scientists believe will lead to therapies for degenerative diseases such as Parkinson's.
Dear Fiona,
Should we create animal-human hybrid embryos for stem cell research? This question provoked a heated debate among some of us, but did not engage the public, who remain completely unaware that this research has had full Parliamentary approval, let alone what it is actually about.
If it were a simple question of who won the debate, I would hand laurel crowns to your Science Media Centre, Evan Harris MP, Mark Henderson of the glaringly partisan The Times, and Stephen Minger, who is the beneficiary of a licence to create such hybrids. Together you convinced a majority in Parliament, and most of the medical research charities, that hybrid embryos were an absolute necessity for the physical salvation of mankind.
But I award you no prizes for proper public engagement, nor for the dissemination of impartial analytical science. To be fair, you were employed to promote the interests of the scientists who wanted to create these controversial embryos, not to facilitate informed debate. You did an excellent job for your clients, but to the detriment of the man in the street and the integrity of science.
Comment on Reproductive Ethics (CORE) is opposed to the creation of animal-human hybrids and argues that they are neither necessary nor desirable in the quest for stem cell cures for regenerative medicine.
Regards, Josephine
Dear Josephine,
Thank you for my laurel crown. I stand accused of doing my job well. And let me be clear about what that job is. The Science Media Centre (SMC) was established in 2002 because it was felt that scientists were not engaging effectively with the media on some of the more controversial issues hitting the headlines – including animal research, GM crops, the MMR vaccine and stem cell research.
It's interesting that you suggest that the debate we have just had on hybrid embryos was unbalanced – because many in the scientific community in 2002 felt exactly the same about the need for more informed and balanced debate on scientific controversies. In the case of GM crops, most people would concede that the UK said no to them after a huge media debate in which the voices of the best scientific experts went unheard.
I don't especially care whether the UK adopts GM crops, but I do care passionately that society reaches decisions about whether to adopt new technologies after a debate in which the scientists' voices have been heard. That's why I'm proud of my role in achieving that this time round.
Regards, Fiona
Dear Fiona,
I too care that society listens attentively to the scientists, but not to the exclusion of everybody else. And please - never presume that scientists speak with one voice and without moral constraints.
You stress the need for balanced debate. I agree, but unfortunately when animal-human hybrids were under discussion, you didn't provide it. Even the ultra-libertarian United Kingdom has to justify embryo research by robust arguments of necessity and desirability. These were rarely debated.
Internationally, most countries have banned animal-human hybrids, not exclusively on ethical grounds but for serious reasons of safety and feasibility. Many argue for safe alternatives involving adult stem cells, cord blood or the latest breakthrough, embryonic-type stem cells (induced pluripotent stem – iPS - cells) not involving the destruction of human embryos.
The unfortunate UK public knows little about these exciting alternatives. During the hybrid debates they were never properly informed about the 80-plus conditions being treated with non-contentious stem cells, or about the tens of thousands of patients cured worldwide. They certainly did not hear such news from your partisan lobby. Objective science was the obvious loser, but more importantly I feel sorry for the hoodwinked patients who desperately imagine animal-human hybrids might somehow cure them.
Regards, Josephine
Dear Josephine,
The SMC, the scientific community and scientific journals publish stories about developments involving adult stem cells, cord blood stem cells and iPS cells regularly. Human-animal hybrid embryos did not become news because scientists claimed they were more promising than adult stem cells. They hit the headlines because they are new, because the government threatened to ban them and because people like yourself issued alarmist comments about scientists playing God.
I agree that the media's obsession with the new and contentious has the effect of distorting the real picture and exaggerating the importance of one aspect of stem cell research – but that's something that you need to take up with editors, not scientists.
When announcing Ian Wilmut's request for a licence to do therapeutic cloning, I was lucky enough to speak to veteran Celtic player Jimmy Johnstone, who was dying from motor neurone disease (MND). Jimmy was desperate for a cure, but was clear that he was supporting Wilmut's research so that future generations would not have to suffer the indignity of this terrible disease. To suggest that Jimmy and all the other patients who support this research are being 'hoodwinked' by scientists is to insult their intelligence and to malign the scientists who are so careful not to raise expectations of cures tomorrow.
Regards, Fiona
Dear Fiona,
I'm not accusing scientists of playing God, but nor should they consider themselves beyond moral boundaries.
The UK public was simply not given balanced scientific information about hybrids, irrespective of the ethical issues. The arguments did not reach the man in the street, who does not attend Science Media Centre events or read scientific papers.
Patients anxious for cures paid more attention, and one cannot blame them for their desperate support for the use of cow and rabbit eggs. They were fed a diet of ersatz science and cruel promises of therapies just around the corner, instead of receiving accurate information about the viable alternatives which are already providing cures for many of the diseases under discussion.
For instance, motor neurone disease. There are no cures yet, but did you tell Jimmy Johnstone about the work going on in Northern Italy? They have been developing a therapy for MND using adult stem cells from the patients themselves, similar to the technique applied to spinal cord repair in Portugal. No farmyard hybrids, no embryos involved.
Not, in my opinion, a great victory for public engagement in science; but with hybrid embryo research already passé, the general public was at least spared the bother of attempting to get its head around the relative pros and cons (pun intended).
Regards, Josephine
Dear Josephine,
What evidence do you have for your assertion that the arguments did not reach the public? Of course they don't attend SMC press briefings, but the Sun, Mirror, Mail, Express, BBC and ITV do. Whether or how the mass media influences public opinion is the million dollar question that better minds than ours have failed to answer. But the public certainly heard from scientists this time round and I am proud of that.
About Jimmy Johnstone. You're right – I did not tell him about the adult stem cell research taking place in Italy. Why? Because Jimmy almost certainly already knew about it. He used the money raised for him by Celtic fans to hire an expert to travel the world investigating every possible treatment for MND.
Jimmy, a practising Catholic, wanted scientists to pursue all types of promising research in the bid to find an effective treatment for this terrible disease. And here lies the rub – ironically I think it's you, and not the scientific community or patients, who have singled out embryonic stem (ES) cells and hybrid embryos for special attention. I am confident that if adult stem cells or iPS cells start to prove more effective than ES cells, the scientific community will embrace them and move away from ES cells. But will you do the same if ES cells do prove to be the cure that the late Jimmy prayed for?
Regards, Fiona

10 Soccer Cleats We'd Like to See Back on Shelves
No. 4 – Nike Mercurial Vapor
Year Released: 2002
Released in 2002, this was the first Mercurial to hold the "Vapor" name, this boot is widely regarded as one of the most innovative released on the market. Nike studied player movements while accelerating and ended up producing the first asymmetric soleplate, utilizing a contoured last to distribute pressure more evenly through the foot. The upper was made of a thin synthetic and offered a very natural touch on the ball. For some reason, this is the Vapor that seems to have disappeared altogether from the market, not surprising considering their value!

Association for Information
Technology Professionals
By: Olivia Adams
Information Technology students are expanding their networks and gaining professional, real world experience through the Association for Information Technology Professionals (AITP).
AITP welcomes any IT students along with CIS, CIT, and ISI majors. This organization is available to those who are interested in gaining more experience and creating networks.
Ferris State senior and AITP president, Arielle Kohler, has found that her membership with this nationally recognized chapter has provided her with valuable experience and knowledge.
"AITP is here to help any of these types of majors to gain professional experience as well as leadership and transferable skills that are needed for the workforce," said Kohler. "It also provides a social atmosphere by providing networking and social events you may not get as an IT major."
Each year, AITP brings speakers from reputable companies to speak to their organization. The group also coordinates tours in which students have the opportunity to get a first glance at what an IT career is all about.
Companies, such as Amway, have visited Ferris to talk to IT students about the field and to also provide on-campus interviews. For example, this semester, AITP is hosting Tom White of IBM who will be giving a presentation to members.
"We try to bring businesses here and to tour them so people know what opportunities are out there and so they can discover what they're interested in," Kohler said. "We've had many students get hired through the group. We're actually a point of contact for the businesses because they will contact our group first, before they send out notifications of opportunities through e-mail blasts."
AITP also promotes the value of internships and encourages their members to have hands-on learning. Last summer, Kohler interned with Amway. This year she will be interning with Campus Entertainment.
"Basically, you don't know how to be a professional until you are out in the field. My favorite part about the internship is the global aspect of Amway. I learned how communication is important, but the corporate setting also gets prepares you for that professional setting," said Kohler.
If you are interested in learning more about this organization, please feel free to attend one of their meetings on Thursdays at 11:00 a.m. in BUS 205.

I would say it depends on how good of a job they do I guess. I've never gone by myself yet, so I can't say that I have tipped them. But my mom has before. I'm not really sure how I feel on this part of tipping yet.
Id like to hear about opinions concerning mousekeeper tipping.
As for us....: We DO NOT tip the mousekeeping folks.
It is a non tipped position.
However, some of you do tip. Everyone is entitled to their feelings and opinions.
I simply wont tip a non tipped position. Unionized position at that.
However, Im a firefighter/medic and would like to see some of those tips!!! lol

We tip. We normally do not have mousekeeping come in until we have left the resort, and then just leave about $2 per day of our stay.

It doesnt matter if your staying at the Grand Floridian or a Howard Johnson in Oregon.....you always tip if they do a good job.

"Rat, schmat, besides...they're tourists...what do they know?"
We absolutely tip!!!
We tip Mousekeepers.
I leave a tip a day, $1.00 per person which is normally $4.00
If I am really organized before I leave I put the cash in an envelope and mark it Mousekeeping. And in return we generally are left extras. It is a win-win!
Some people are like Slinkies.
They aren't really good for anything,
but they still bring a smile to my face when I push them down a flight of stairs.
Friends are Gods way of apologizing to us for our families.
We tip 2 dollars a day. We also learned that if we left the money sitting out they didn't take it. Once I started putting the cash under the little cardboard paper that had the housekeepers' name on it, then they took the cash. When you consider how much work they do and how little they make, what's a couple of bucks a day at Disney?
I don't unless I receive exceptional service. As mentioned, I don't view it as a "tipped" position. If they come in and leave me towels, make up the bed, and vacuum...that's doing their job, not exceptional service. If I had a child who was ill and they had to clean up?? Oh you bet I'd tip!!

We ALWAYS tip - especially if they do an excellent job, which, I don't know if it is just our luck, but we find the mousekeepers to always do a great job. My family is 6 people, and sometimes we bring extended family along, so with all these people staying in a 2 bedroom villa, its sort of necessary to tip. Sometimes they even run the dish washer for us while we are out, which we think is pretty nice.

We tipped at the end of the trip. she did a good job and she went nuts with leaving the towel animals and doing a different windows displays for our room with my daughters toys and souvenirs.
You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.
Walt Disney
I agree 100% with those statements.
I also view the cleaning and sheets..etc as doing their job. No more no less.
However, if i came in and saw that they also..ironed my shirts,washed our dirty clothes..etc, then that would be above and beyond....then id tip.
Mousekeepers get paid better than most CMs' I just cant justify tipping a lady in a union and not the guy/gal that attends Splash Mountain or the CM that picks up the park trash.
Just out of curiosity, does anyone here know what the mousekeepers make? I know there are several CMs on the forums, but I haven't seen any mousekeepers. I'd be curious to know what the average salary is.

Issue 48 is all but there at the printers now (OK, so about a dozen pages will have to go tomorrow morning – sorry Warners!)
Lots of great stuff in this one, including some cracking stories of how we all started mountain biking, some properly epic riding and a new series – 'One Ton Weekends' where we challenge people to have the most mountain biking fun for a oner – £100. Whether it's a super budget trip for ten people, or an indulgent skills session with a pro rider' – we've already got a string of them to shoot in the next couple of months, but suggestions are always welcome.
But today, it's our mate Stanny's birthday, so we're off to the pub… And that's another 12 hour day already… We're off. C'mon Sim!

Google put up a new At Google talk with Ross Beyer from the Carl Sagan Center at the SETI Institute and Intelligent Robotics Group at NASA Ames Research Center, who discusses making maps to explore the Earth, the Moon and Mars.
"High-quality planetary maps and 3D terrain models have become essential for NASA to plan exploration missions and conduct science," says Google in the video description. "This is particularly true for robotic missions to the Moon and Mars, where maps are used for site selection, traverse planning, and planetary science. This is also important for studies of climate change on Earth, where maps are used to track environmental change (such as polar ice movement)."
"In this talk, we will describe how the Intelligent Robotics Group at NASA Ames builds highly accurate, large-scale planetary maps and 3D terrain models from orbital imagery using novel statistical stereographic and photometric techniques," it says. "Orbital imagery includes data captured by the Apollo missions, on-going NASA and international missions, and commercial providers (such as Digital Globe). The mapmaking software that we have developed (Vision Workbench, Ames Stereo Pipeline, Neo-Geography Toolkit) is available as open-source and is widely used by scientists and mission planners."

Twin spacecraft that mapped the gravity field of the Moon with unprecedented precision have succumbed to the very force they were made to measure.
Ebb and Flow, the two probes that make up NASA's GRAIL, the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory,crashed one after the other into the Moon at 5.28pm EST on 17 December – an end that mission planners always had in mind — after a mind-blowingly successful flight that has included producing the firstultra-high-resolution picture of the Moon's gravitional field (right).
The probes, which flew in tandem exchanging radio signals in lunar orbits that were minutely but measurably perturbed by variations in the Moon's density, were conceived by MIT planetary scientist Maria Zuber. Their scientific findings so far include the result that theMoon's crust is thinner than thought during the Apollo era, and that some impact craters thought to exist from lower-resolution maps are not there. The GRAIL team still needs to carry out the more detailed data analysis needed to map out the Moon's more mysterious core.
