The Democratic assault on free speech
Everybody's for free speech — until somebody says something he doesn't like. But the genius of the First Amendment is that it is so direct and plain that even a lawyer or a judge can understand it.

SharesThe importance of any political event is best measured against its opponents' reactions. By that yardstick, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's agreement to speak about the dangers of Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons before a joint session of Congress is already enormously significant.
SharesLessons from the American Revolution show that our destiny is still in our hands.
SharesIf you were to rank all the countries of the world based on their level of economic freedom, you'd think the United States would be a shoo-in for first place, right? Surely we would be at least somewhere in the top five.
SharesLast Tuesday night, President Obama assured the American people that their nation is secure because of his leadership. His "steady, persistent resolve," Mr. Obama proclaimed in his State of the Union speech, has resulted in a "safer, more prosperous world."
SharesThe Internal Revenue Service's woes did not begin or end with Lois Lerner and the agency's targeting of political opponents with punitive action. Earlier this month we became painfully aware (again) that political games and punishing the taxpayer appear to be the burgeoning raison d'etre of the tax-collecting agency.
SharesThe big news from this week's State of the Union address is that the economic "crisis is over." Apparently, we've been rescued from a second Great Depression and everything this president has done to fix the economy has worked. All that was missing from Mr. Obama's celebration was the old "Icky Shuffle" end zone dance.
SharesSince 2008, the Greek economy has shrunk by 25 percent, and the stock market is down more than 80 percent.
SharesSunday marked the start of National School Choice Week, an annual celebration of education reforms that give parents the power to pick the schools, public or private, that are best for their children.
SharesFresh from offering "free" health care, "free" phones and "free" food to the masses, he's upped the bribery to "free" community college tuition and "free" child care. It's not that the Clintons oppose any of these; they just need to affect moderation in case Hillary runs for president and has to knock back boilermakers again with the good old boys in Pennsylvania taverns.
SharesIt's of grave consequence to Washington and to the rest of the world who governs Saudi Arabia.
SharesWithout a college degree you can go on to create a computer empire like Dell, Microsoft and Apple, build an airline company like Jet Blue, found an organic food company like Whole Foods, or just become a run-of-the-mill tech nerd and create WordPress, DropBox, Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Spotify, Threadless or Pinterest. But some say you can't be president of the United States.
SharesMilwaukee public schools are doing their best to block the expansion of school choice in the city—and the kids are the ones suffering.
SharesSymbols count. For many, what they want to believe determines what they consider true. Needless to say, many in the Middle East do not want to believe in Israel's existence. As a consequence, Harper Collins one of the world's largest publishing houses, sold English language atlases to schools in the Middle East that omit the state of Israel.
SharesHillary Rodham Clinton talked about job creation this week, raising an issue that has been one of President Obama's biggest economic shortcomings.
SharesNo one would reward a shoplifter just because he manages to get out of the store with stolen merchandise, but every Democrat in the Virginia state Senate — and one Republican — voted last week to reward those who broke into the country illegally and get a valuable public benefit.
President Obama is for choice and competition in the health-insurance market, as befits a champion of the free market, except when he isn't. "My guiding principle is, and always has been," he said in 2009 when he was trying to sell Obamacare, "that consumers do better when there is choice and competition. That's how the market works. In Alabama, almost 90 percent of the market is controlled by just one company. And without competition, the price of insurance goes up and quality goes down."
Protective computer passwords have some competition. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a novel intelligent computer keyboard that not only cleans itself - but can identify users by the pattern and style of their fingertips and keystrokes. The "human-machine interfacing" device, reported in the American Chemical Society's academic journal "Nano," could provide a foolproof way to prevent unauthorized users from gaining direct access to computers.
Sunday is often associated with both church and devoted football watching. Now there's an intersection of the two: 53 percent of Americans and 56 percent of sports fans say "that God rewards athletes who have faith with good health and success on the playing field." So says a new survey of public sentiment about sports and religion conducted by the nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute and the Religion News Service.
He was once intensely popular, and his signature style wooed the media and voters both in and out of his home state. Those who watch him closely think New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is about to lose his mojo. "It's been fascinating to see the Christie strategy unfold over the past two years. It's been a bit like watching a ping pong match," says one New Jersey pollster
The European Central Bank is engaging in its own QE program, but it won't do much to help the moribund EU economy.
While liberals increasingly bemoan "income inequality," they assign President Obama no responsibility for it. Mr. Obama fully embraced his exoneration in his State of the Union address, showcasing the issue as though he had never been president — despite having been in office six years, being America's most liberal president, having greatly expanded his presidential powers, and unsparingly expended the nation's resources attempting to accomplish his agenda. Exploring the connection between Mr. Obama and income inequality reveals a good deal, and even more about the liberals who are not exploring it.
CPAC will welcome former Texas Gov. Rick Perry in their speakers lineup at the annual gathering of conservatives in February, The Washington Times has learned. "If 2014 taught us anything, it's that Americans are looking for a positive vision for this country, and 2016 will be no different. Republicans have the chance to be the party of ideas and opportunity," says Mr. Perry.
President Obama has a happy and untroubled life on Fantasy Island, where he lives in splendid isolation from the world where the rest of us live. He is never troubled by terrorists, whether Islamic, Jewish or Episcopalian. All rough places have been made plain, manna falls right on time every morning, the water is pure, clear and cold, and golf courses where everybody breaks par stretch to a happy oblivion. The ants never get into his pants.
The Republican Party appears to have the jitters over pro-life legislation for complicated reasons. The public, meanwhile, has their own conclusions about abortion according to a new poll titled "Abortion in America," conducted by Marist College and the Knights of Columbus.
The film "Free Willy" captured the imagination of viewers in 1993 with a story detailing a young boy's desire to free a killer whale named "Willy" from captivity in an amusement park. At the end of the film, Willy swims off to freedom. But the inspirational film bears little resemblance to reality, according to Mark Simmons, author of "Killing Keiko: The True Story of Free Willy's Return to the Wild."
President Obama's State of the Union this week was an entirely appropriate speech for a country on the brink of collapse ("The state of the president," Comment & Analysis, Jan. 21). It was once again a diversion for short-term political gain.

What our customers say...I bought my trailer from Dixie Horse and Mule. You can either go to their website and search under Bee Trailers or do a search of Bee Trailers in Horse Trailer Galore and you will find a new one they have in inventory.Don Smith is the owner of the Dixie Horse and Mule and I believe him to be a good and honest man to do business with. He treated me more that fair when I bought my trailer AND when I decided to sell it. He gave me a bid on what he could give me for my trailer and suggested I put it in Horse Trailer Galore and gave me the retail value to help set the price. I sold the trailer in one week for more than his bid but of course less then the retail value. That was a very nice thing for him to do. Good luck Ken Truman Good Afternoon Ms. Truman, I notice your trailer that you have listed in the Horse Trailer Galore. Even though it is sold, can you please tell me were I might be able to purchase a horse trailer like it. I really like the way this trailer is set up. Many thanks. Anne |

Why'd you rip off Dungeons of Dredmor? Th gameplay is somewhat similar, the writing is identical, and the Lich...well, looks like a more relistic version of Dredmor @_@
how a game called RogueDungeons doesnt have the rogue class?.the game itself needed some improvements you should make
well, that was beyond disappointing. It looked like such a great time-waster. but I opened it up and was treated to 1 second of a character creation screen, which then made the character for me with undefined xp, and undefined gold. I couldn't buy anything, train anything, or do anything except windowshop in the store and stare, befuddled, at the training area. I went to the dungeon portal, and headed off to the first dungeon, only to have chome crash on me. I did this 3 times in a row, same result. Every time the dungeon load screen came up (horrible choice of a load screen btw, I had no idea what was going on when it popped up and no idea of the progress) chrome would crash. Great going, next time make a game with more than 5 screens in it.
Also, every time i reloaded the page, I had to sit through the same shitty Doritos commercial involving a man screaming and howling right in my ear. Thanks for that one too.
This was really disappointing. i started the game with higher hopes but the game was far too slow. Can't I just click on the screen to walk or use arrow keys? Can't it just take less time than 2 seconds to move one space? The game probably would have been fun if I could have tolerated it past the first level. Considering how slowly the characters moved, you could have at least made the maps tiny.

I was very interested in Market America.I was contacted by a person I know and they were very heavly invested into market america.
What I didn't like is when they constantly used the terms 'BV' and 'IBV'. BV are products that are available exclusive through the company and IBV are partner companies such as K-mart, Best Buy etc etc. To get initiated, you must put money down to purchase products. I was told I need '600 BV' to get started.
Well in my mind, what exactly is BV equivalant to in real life money. It is just over $1000. For these times where the economy is hard and jobs are not easy to come by, telling a person to spend $1000 on *** I don't need, and promising them it will sell, is a lot of money. Promise is nice and all, but if I dont hear the words "I guaranty you will sell..." is not very reassuring.
Again, remember, it is over $1000 you could be throwing away. So after the $1000 well spent, you have to purchase 50BV every month. 50BV equates to about $134. For me, I am a single man living on my own, I don't spend $134 a month on nutriants or supplments or shampoo or energy drinks.
Where this all went wrong with me is this and this is why I got upset. After I gave the individuals my credit card information for my initial $1000 down, this person CHOSE and DID NOT tell me about the 50BV I had to buy every month. He took my credit card information and used it so he could get 50BV added onto his score too. Again he fraudulantly used my credit card.
I report it and him to market america and nothing was done. This is a pretty good representation of how market America does business. It is a pyramid scheme. Please remember this, if it sounds too good to be true, it is.
If you make money off of the person below you and also with the person below them, it is illegal. Also remember this,you go to work to MAKE money, NOT PAY money. When I go to work today, I do not go to get a bill. I go to get paid.
Can Market America be profitable? Sure. Any company can be. But in the case of pyrimid schemes, you need to be the first few people to join.
I looked at the top people making money in MA, guess who they are, JR (owner) and the 15 people who he got to join him.
Save yourself the money and time and don't go and do not join this.People should not have to sell you the company, you should want to join the company and you should have to sell yourself to the company.

Well, I guess I got out very easy. I was about to hand over my money, but decided to do some checking on the owner. Turns out, he and his wife like to flaunt their riches and prefer to hang out with celebrities, rather than common folks.
Pathetic. Those common folks are what got him rich, selling his products.
He also has a history of deception concerning shares. He was fined by the SEC, and even in spite of that, did more deceptive acts concerning shares.
When I brought my findings to the attention of the person who was going to "recruit" me, the entire group shunned me.
Shunned, but I still have my money while they are paying for this. Paying for that. Paying for tickets to go see their cult leader get richer by their hard earned money. All these people are doing is paying out and paying out and paying out. The person who was recruiting me showed me her account. She was so proud that she had $65 sitting in her Market America backend account. Really? A whole $65???!!!! Woo hoo! You spent well over $1,000 on their products, plus more each month to maintain that BV! Oh my. I saved over $1,000 by not buying into the same scheme they did. Now, they will never ever get their investment back because they have to keep buying products each month. I also saw how much she was buying. Bottles and bottles sitting around unused because the monthly requirement is more than she can consume. How's that investment working out for you now? Shun... Show more

For those who jump up and down about investing $400 to start a business, shame on you. You should keep punching the time clock to make your bosses dreams happen. You do not have what it takes to run a business. $400 is nothing, it is a small investment. $150 a month is nothing, wake up. You have a poor man attitude. Stop drinking that girly Starbucks drink everyday, stop smoking, stop the energy drink habit. You are only talking a $5 a day investment. It is not your fault that you have been conditioned by the system. This began when you were a child and had to go to school. You got up early went to school from 8 to 3 (add home work) you had a ten hour day. Then you enter the real world and work an 8 plus hour day.
To break free from this sheep mentality you must strive for more than a 9 to 5. I have a six figure income and have not worked 9 to 5 or punched a time clock in 15 years. Losers stop trying, winners never give up.
Stop crying like little babies, man up, and move forward. Yep, if you are hurt by what I said then you know it is the truth.
Jj Aug 14, 2014
Exactly. The company makes money out of you to join the pyramid. You have to shred out 1000 dollars and each month had to spend about 100 dollar as a mandatory to stay and the up line distributor takes credit for it and her bv added to theirs
You can't even make money off selling retail from your mandatory monthly products. Because you get it a few dollars cheaper but guess what all the *** such as administrative fees, shipping fees n taxes will come out to be the same price that anyone could get at the ma website. So no one is going to buy from you when they can buy off eBay or other place for way less and if you try do sell them in eBay your not making redial profit your losing money
Cee Jul 26, 2014
The problem isn't the concept. It's the products.
If I opened my own restaurant, of course there would be start up investment costs, monthly fees for maintaining it, and the task of promoting it to potential customers but AT LEAST it would be worth it to do all of that to sell something that I actually believed in. I'm not going to be too motivated to sell lesser quality versions of products for the same price, if not more than someone can get from a brand that they already know.
I refuse to believe that the people who are actually earning money from this company are making it from actual sales profits. They are making commission from their "recruits"... And sadly, the recruits are usually friends/family who are either trying to be polite or have been convinced into believing they're being handed some golden opportunity.
So when people say it's a scam, maybe it's not one in the traditional sense but I consider it a pretty dishonest practice to sell someone a dream that you know will never materialize just to get that initial investment from them. These members already know that by the time the person realizes that they were given false hopes and quit, it won't matter because they've already profited from them signing up and they'll be onto the next naive person to brainwash.
I have more respect for drug dealers than these so-called "business owners" because in the end, they gain a profit but lose a friend. If that's the only way you're able to run a business... Show more
hello Jul 06, 2014
I usually don't comment but felt like i should give my two cents.
Yeah, i'm an unfranchise owner. But i won't be talking about the benefits of being part of Market America. Nor do i feel the need to be composed or polite.
Those of you who aren't part of MA, i assumed you all got something going on in your life. Some could be making big bucks, most are making average income or even below that. I respect that. Let's not talk about MA vs this and that. Let's discuss about the winners and losers.
What i've caught reading the comments were "brain washing", "asians/chinese", "losing friends", etc. A lot of ppl have already explained the concept of running a business. Huge capital to start up, success not guaranteed, most operate at a loss in the first 3-5 years. So i'll just touch on the keywords.
First, you losers doubt the validity of the millionaires from MA or that the number ratio is too small. Now what does it take to be a millionaire? what's the population of millionaires out there excluding those from MA? Not all MA reps make this much or even aim to make this much. It's the lifestyle they seek. I tell you if you join for the money, you're not going to last. Some MA reps/ unfranchise owners here wrote some really polite comments, maintaining their professionalism which is commendable. But i certainly don't feel the need to you close minded idiots.
In any facet of life, there are winners and losers; MA not excluded. So naturally there are those that quit and... Show more

Really oops (no personal attacks)ha ha ha mmm the cost to start an unfranchise business is under $500.00,Fast Starts Kits $399+ taxs not $1000.00. In New York its actually $440.00 or so with tax. Where do you come off publicly attacking and spreading lies and rumors about this company.

It sounds like a lot of people did what our government did - pass a bill to find out what's in it. Why would you ever join something and THEN learn the requirements? Just because you failed to do the proper vetting of the company beforehand, and couldn't *** it once you joined, doesn't make the company a scam!

I was sucked in by a friend and lost money and my friends went to GNC to buy product at a third of the cost Then I found the book on false profits very fitting those at the top make out try and sell this to people with a tight budget for $70.00 a bottle and friends and family think your crazy...By the way my friend deserted me after I left the company..

I am a new distributor with Market America...signed up less than a month ago. I was told initially you need 300 BV, which cost me about $640. Yes, it's still quite a bit of money if you're on a strict budget, but my point being the training material that came with my initial order all says start up is 300 BV. They even have a "fast start" which has predetermined products along with some support materials like catalogs. The cost for that was under $400. Not sure why you were told $1000 buy in.
Also, the 50 BV requirement may be over $100 for some people, but it may be less for others. One OPC-3 antioxidant is 42.5 BV alone. Things you already would buy like laundry detergent and dish soap would take care of those last few BV points needed. Sell the OPC if you don't want to use it yourself.
My opinion to readers of this is, check it out for yourself. This business is not for everyone, but it might be for you.
Yankeeron Nov 06, 2013 Richmond, Virginia
And for all of you citing statistics on the success rate of MA this one's for you. Over 70% of real estate agents fail in their first year. So by your logic I guess that makes real estate a scam.

Make sure you get your facts straight when you make comments like this. MA has created over 100 millionaires and well over 1000 people are making 6 figures. I agree with you on one thing. Don't join this if you have an "employee" mentality. Employees make money for other people. "Entrepreneurs" make money for themselves.

What part of a business don't you get - yes if you want to work for an hourly paycheck your whole life have at it. Does a business owner make money off his sales team .... yes he/she does! As far as pyramid scheme - you get products and a business - buy a Panera or Starbuck and see how much money you have to put out. Do they make money off of selling products .... oh .... yes they do. Would you have to put out money every month - oh wait ... yes you would... Do they make money off customers ... Oh wait - that must be a pyramid scheme too! You have the mentality of an hourly worker - not entrepreneur - good thing you got out!
8 4 Replylesnla to winner Feb 02, 2014 College Park, Maryland
yes they make money off of customers, not their employees- very different thing. Panera is not based upon a chain of profit. As I stated in another post, buy product at cost, and sell it and make money, don't sell it and fail. You are responsible entirely for your own sales, which provides value to your customers.
What makes MA and others like it legal (barely) is that the product is really the idea of entrepreneurship, and the profit is made by selling this idea to new sales reps - the actual product you are supposed to be able to buy at cost does not actually benefit you because you are purchasing it from another rep, who is purchasing it from another rep... etc. etc. When the chain breaks, the bottom links are out of luck because no one is buying the products at a discounted rate- all of you are buying the products for exactly the same price from each other, depending on recruits below you in order to earn money off the product (passed up to the line when you buy yours, and your sponsor buys his, etc. etc)
If this were a value providing business, all of you would buy your product from one source - MA, and sell it if you can. Recruiting would not be a part of the requirements of continued franchise "ownership." This is important because you must buy the product at wholesale so you can make money off of your sales. If you have to spend more than you can realistically make in order to purchase the product you are reselling, then not only is it a bad investment for a... Show more

Any type of company is a pyramid when you really look at it. Heck even schools are. The principle makes more than the teachers that make more than the para pros. There is always pe-ons that work for higher pe-ons that work for fewer pe-ons. In the end or on the top is always 1 person making more money than the people below them. And the person on top hires or recruites the person under them and they hire or recruit under them. No matter what it is a hire job or a recruited business it's a JOB and if you want to make money you have to work and invest the time in it. If you are not willing to.work your company then you.will fail, just like if you don't work at your JOB you will get fired. The only difference is in one situation you are risking someone else's money and in the other you are risking your own money

How is it the company's fault that you were too lazy to perform due diligence? Especially when it's totally possible to complete the financial requirements without spending a penny of your own money? The fact that you complain about the monthly requirement shows that you haven't got a clue about what constitutes an illegal pyramid scheme.
Before you get too huffy, I've been a distributor with Market America for over 15 years and I'm not making crazy money. However, I'm honest enough to admit that I'm too lazy to do what's needed to make that money I'm content to coast along, selling to a group of satisfied customers and buying the excellent products at wholesale for my own use.
Go whine about something real.
Kath Oct 09, 2013 Boston, Massachusetts
It's not a pyramid - you are in a pyramid of you are working in Corporate America, you are working to make the president money! Think about it? This is a bilateral pay structure, it just sounds like the person sucks, if you do your due diligence it is rated in the BBB at A+ and has been in biz since 1992 without a down qtr. it's just facts, that's it! Sorry it didn't work out for you but it truly is the real deal!

I was out for Halloween with a friend and was sitting at a table near the door. These two guys hovered by me for about twenty minutes until one asked to buy me a drink. I already had a drink and wasn't looking for extra company, so I said no. No big deal.
Eventually I moved to a different spot, but over the next few hours, I noticed these guys continuing to hover and basically zero in on every girl who walked through without another guy, especially the ones who looked pretty far gone. Most seemed like they could handle themselves, so I didn't say anything until one tried to get physical with a girl who was really, really drunk and just trying to dance. She was dancing in a circle with her girlfriends and he came up behind her–uninvited–and started trying to grind all over her without saying anything. I was standing next to her, so I just put my arm between them and guided her towards her friends. They then helped guide her to a different area where he couldn't touch her. One of her friends smiled at me and said, "Thank you, that guy was creeping me out." I said, "No problem," and they went about their evening.
I was walking down the street and some guy told me "Smile! Beautiful."
I also experienced it that the same guy was doing this exact thing to 2 or 3 other women 5 seconds before me, only he asked those ladies for their numbers.
Cedar Rapids, IA – I was 17 and walking in my workout gear to the local neighborhood school to walk around the track. A young boy, about 14, was with his friend on their bikes in their driveway. On my way to the track he yelled, "I'd love to see what's under those clothes!" and "girl, you have no idea what i'd like to do to you," etc., ad nauseum.
I did my walk around the track, thinking how angry I was that I just took the harassment and didn't do anything about it. I made myself walk up that same street, and the boys were still there. One of them said something about masturbating and thinking of me and I marched right across the street to where they were and confronted them.
"Do you think that's funny? Do you think I am not a person who hears everything you say?" they were stunned, looked at each other, gulped.
"Would you want someone yelling that crap to your sister or your mother? Well, WOULD YOU?"
"um, no. no… i wouldn't."
'Then apologize to me."
"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry."
"OK. Don't ever do it again. That is not ok."
I walked back home. That felt so good, and I think it gave those boys a personal face to what they were doing. I think about that conversation a lot.
I went on a date with this boy in high school. I decided I'd rather be friends after the date, I was uncomfortable. I told him I didn't like him like that, but he continued to pursue me. He told all my friends/ family we were together. I explained over & over I did not want to be his girlfriend, but he refused to take no for an answer. Now 5 years later I was at Rensfest with my bf, and the same guy came up to me and expected me to be all affectionate and hug him. It makes me so uneasy…
So I was on a casual bus ride back from Whole Foods with my friend on the 3, a popular bus route for students of Drake University like myself. At the Walmart stop, a group of 5 young (high school aged) boys got on the bus and sat around us. They started pestering us asking our names, where we went to school, etc. They then proceeded to talk about how they were going to rape us, saying things along the lines of, "Haha I'm totally going to rape them," or "Wait till we tell (so and so) that we raped those girls on the bus." In between these remarks, they made several homophobic comments, referenced incest and pedophilia, and jokes about sexual assault of elders. Overall it was a miserable experience. I guess it just goes to show that you can't even go buy organic produce without being verbally harassed…
I'm female, middle-aged, and have been tolerating this crap for years. It's rare that I can walk to the store without individuals leaning out their windows and yelling filthy words and remarks at me. They all appear to be in their late teens or early twenties. While I don't know whether or not they're students, it's always occurred within a couple of blocks from Lincoln High School.

"Street harassment is unwanted attention in public spaces, often based on gender expression or perceived sexuality, and it is treated as a given by many women, girls and LGBT individuals. Meanwhile, most people who are not harassed do not realize how much it happens," said Becca Lee, director of Hollaback! Des Moines.
The movement encourages community members to take a public stance against street harassment, such as catcalling, unwanted sexual comments and disparaging remarks, through sharing stories and creative activism. This month, individuals can purchase a RAYGUN t-shirt, with 50 percent of proceeds benefiting Hollaback! Des Moines.
"There are countless t-shirts that promote sexual harassment, but very few that call out harassing behaviors. We're proud to partner with RAYGUN to use smart t-shirt humor to put the joke back on the harasser instead of the target," Lee said.
"People who harassingly shout at others from a distance may be under the impression that's the best way to communicate. We wanted to have a small part in dissuading that behavior," said Mike Draper, owner and founder of RAYGUN.
Lee says she founded the Hollaback! Des Moines chapter in 2011 after years of experiencing street harassment as a college student.
"There was a week where I couldn't go outside my apartment building without hearing a harasser yell something vulgar at me," says Lee. "The guy knew where I lived, what kind of car I drove, and I felt very unsafe to go about my daily life."
Hollaback! encourages people to speak out about harassment and see the connection between harassment on the street and sexual assault and other forms of violence.
"Harassment is a gateway crime in that it isn't illegal, but it creates a cultural environment where gender-based violence and rape is taken less seriously," says Jessica Staskal, communications specialist at the Iowa Coalition Against Sexual Assault. "By working to bring awareness and an end to street harassment, we hope to create a safer, more welcoming community for all."
T-shirts are available for purchase at RAYGUN in Des Moines or online at www.raygunsite.com. For more information, email [email protected].
Hollaback! Des Moines is among more than 79 teams across 26 countries who are using grassroots organizing and mobile technology to end street harassment. The movement provides a free mobile app for reporting street harassment safely and anonymously. The app is available in nine languages for iPhone and Droid.
Hollaback! is an international movement dedicated to ending street harassment using mobile technology. By collecting stories from women and LGBTQ individuals in a safe and share-able way, Hollaback! is creating a crowd-sourced initiative to end street harassment.Share your story at desmoines.ihollaback.org, find us on Facebook at facebook.com/HollabackDSM or follow us on Twitter at @Hollaback_DSM.

Drugs A - Z
Podophyllum (Podophyllum hexandrum, Podophyllum peltatum)
Generic Name:
Herbs & SupplementsSynonyms
American mandrake, Araceae (family), bajiaolian, Berberidaceae (family), beta-peltatin, Condylox®, devil's apple, diphyllin, duck's foot, Dysosma pleianthum, epipodophyllotoxin, etoposide 7a, etophos 7b, ground lemon, Hakkakuren, highly purified podophyllotoxin, Himalayan mayapple, hog apple, Indian apple, Indian podophyllum, kampherol, mandrake, mayapple, Podocon-25®, podofilox, Podofin®, podophylli pelati rhizome/resina, podophyllic acid, podophyllin, podophyllinic acid ethylhydrazide, podophyllotoxin, podophyllotoxin-beta-o-benzyliden-glucoside (SP-G), podophyllotoxin derivatives, Podophyllum emodi, Podophyllum hexandrum, Podophyllum hexandrum Royale, podophyllum lignan, Podophyllum peltatum, Podophyllum peltatum L., Podophyllum pleianthum, podophyllum resin, Podophyllum versipelle, Proresid®, quercetin, raccoon berry, semisynthetic podophyllotoxin glycosides, Sinopodophyllum emodi, Syngonium podophyllum, umbrella plant, vegetable mercury, wild lemon, wild mandrake.
Note: Podophyllum should not be confused with Mandragora officinarum, although both are commonly known as mandrake. Podophyllum is potentially toxic when orally ingested.
Podophyllum gets its name from the Greek words podos and phyllon, meaning foot shaped leaves. Podophyllum rhizomes have a long medicinal history among native North American tribes who used a rhizome powder as a laxative or an agent that expels worms (anthelmintic). A poultice of the powder was also used to treat warts and tumorous growths on the skin.
Podophyllotoxin is a plant-derived compound used to produce two cytostatic drugs, etoposide and teniposide. The substance has been primarily obtained from the American mayapple (Podophyllum peltatum). The Himalayan mayapple (Podophyllum hexandrum or Podophyllum emodi) contains this constituent in a much greater quantity, but is endangered in the wild.
Currently, extracts of the podophyllum plant are used in topical medications for genital warts, HIV-related oral hairy leukoplakia, and some skin cancers. Preliminary research also shows that CPH 82, an oral form of Podophyllum emodi composed of two purified semisynthetic lignan glycosides, may be useful in treating rheumatoid arthritis. However, when used orally, podophyllum can be lethal and should be avoided. The drug etoposide (VePesid®) is the semisynthetic derivative of podophyllotoxin, and is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for various types of cancer.
DISCLAIMER: These uses have been tested in humans or animals. Safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider.
Warts (genital warts, plantar warts):
Podofilox, an active component of podophyllin resin, is marketed under the brand name Condylox® and is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of external genital warts and perianal warts. Preliminary study showed that podophyllum preparation was moderately effective in the treatment of genital warts. Additional study is needed before a firm conclusion regarding efficacy can be made.
Grade: B
Leukoplakia (HIV-related):
Oral hairy leukoplakia is an oral mucosal disease associated with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Podophyllum and its derivatives are known to be active cytotoxic agents, which may be beneficial in the treatment of hairy leukoplakia. Additional study is needed before a firm conclusion regarding efficacy can be made.
Grade: C
Rheumatoid arthritis:
Preliminary research suggests that podophyllum may be helpful for rheumatoid arthritis. Research is limited due to the possible adverse effects like severe diarrhea associated with taking podophyllum by mouth. However, additional research is needed before a firm conclusion can be drawn.
Grade: C
Uterine cancer:
Preliminary evidence suggests that podophyllum may inhibit the growth of cancer cells, and may be beneficial as an adjunct to radiation for uterine cancer. Further research is needed before a strong recommendation can be made.
Grade: C

Letter: Interpreting Burma-speakSaturday, 15 July 1995

Letter: Attitudes to the disabledSaturday, 15 July 1995

Letter: Causes of crime in the ThirtiesSaturday, 15 July 1995

Letter: Bright plans for idle handsSaturday, 15 July 1995
Sir: Having read your account (10 July) of the attack by youths on a local mayor, I wondered whether the vandalism would have occurred had those youths planted the flowers themselves. This leads me to suggest that a very simple VSO-type organisation ...

Letter: After the fall of Srebrenica: intervention or withdrawal?Saturday, 15 July 1995

Letter: After the fall of Srebrenica: intervention or withdrawal?Saturday, 15 July 1995

Letter: After the fall of Srebrenica: intervention or withdrawal?Saturday, 15 July 1995

Mercedes Benz Tex vs Leather
Posts: 2
I'm about to buy a 2009 ml 320 "bluetec" for my wife and have yet to decide between leather and mb tex. The salesman (of course) said that mb ex is great... better than leather... holds up well. I've never yet had a car with vinyl seats. All advice with respect to leather vs mb tex appreciated.
asa2 Posts: 23Just noticed your post and ironically enough, I just commented on the comfort of ML's seats over Q7's over in the Audi forum. I have the Tex and honestly nobody knows the difference between it and leather. People are surprised when I say it's not leather. They are extremely comfortable and wear well. I had a Range Rover previously and I have to say I LOVE the ML 350 more-comfort, drive, mileage, etc. It's one of my most favorite cars we've ever owned.
cneff Posts: 65Have to say it held up pretty well and this was my kid car - so that means all sorts of bio-material was tossed on it (stuck to it for long periods of time) and jumped on, etc. I noticed no scuffs or tears, even where the baby/toddler seat was strapped in with 100lbs weights for well over a year. Cleaned up pretty well too.
Only noticed some stretching from where the baby seat sat for a long time, not much but it was there if you looked, but no tear or rip.
I got it again in our new ML and am happy with it. -
wireless Posts: 47I was in the dealership yesterday. I thought I wanted leather. The salesman push the Tex hard. Said 99.9% of the customers got it and that it held up better than leather with no wrinkles or creases after years of use. He even said it smelled the same. They had no leather on the lot to compare.
I think I still want leather but will think about it a good bit due to the price differential. -
jdsu1437 Posts: 3I have 2001 E320 and 2007 ML550. I ordered them rather than picked from the lot. Both times, the saleman recommended the MB Tex. He could have made more commission with the leather option. I picked the leather both times. The leather in E320 has not held up well as expected. I would go for Tex next time.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Natalie Ercolini
"My boyfriend (an Italian chef) made this great pasta dough with calamari ink and I wanted to make something creative with it. I came up with two large ravioli stuffed with flaked cooked salmon, eggplant, spinach, and mixed cheeses. On the side: roasted cherry tomatoes, Parmesan- and garlic-breaded cauliflower, and shredded zucchini. Mmmmm! We both loved it! (Flavored pasta dough is recommended. You can use frozen cauliflower florets; thaw at room temperature before proceeding with the recipe.)"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

For the Ravioli:
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 green onion, chopped
1 eggplant, peeled and cubed
sea salt and pepper to taste
1 1/4 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup fresh spinach
1 cup cooked salmon, flaked
3 tablespoons ricotta cheese
3 tablespoons cottage cheese
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
1 pound fresh pasta sheets
For the Roasted Vegetables:
4 cups cauliflower florets
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
olive oil cooking spray
8 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved
1 zucchini, grated
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
Great recipe I turned ours into a pasta instead of a ravioli- but delicious. I put hot peppers in as the eggplact cooked to add some spice and I changed the parmisiano to Pecorino and then baked it all together AMAZING!
Loved the idea, liked the dish. 'Glad I tried, but no repeats.
