Over the past year, we have continued to maintain on our website several clear reasons for why we believe Congress should repeal ObamaCare.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) which became law on March 23, 2010 took an unprecedented and unconstitutional action. The PPACA requires nearly every American to purchase acceptable insurance or face a penalty from the IRS. Several states have filed lawsuits challenging portions of the PPACA, specifically the individual mandate, as unconstitutional. We have filed amicus briefs in both of the Virginia and Florida cases. We also represent five plaintiffs in federal court challenging the unconstitutionality of the law.
After his "glib" apology before Congress this week for calling the American people "stupid," ObamaCare architect Jonathan Gruber attempted to dodge, duck, dip, dive, and … dodge every substantive question that came his way. He refused to answer even the simplest questions like how much ( millions )
From day one, we have warned that the real danger of Obamacare is not in the 2,700 pages of its text (as bad as they are), but in the hundreds of thousands of pages of rules and regulations that would flow out of that text. This week provides yet another example of that danger, and it is in the...
Yesterday, liberal Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer lambasted Democrats for the political failure of both ObamaCare and the stimulus. While he certainly has not changed his core belief that government can solve all the people's ills (and said as much), he slammed his party for its political failures.
The lesson we learn from Jonathan Gruber (the MIT professor turned high-paid ObamaCare architect who admitted the Administration deceived the public to pass ObamaCare) is that the Obama Administration will do or say anything to prop up ObamaCare. You know the litany of lies (you can keep you plan,

Miners Lead Early, Hold Off Thunder
Published: Friday, August 23, 2013 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, August 24, 2013 at 12:15 a.m.
EAGLE LAKE | Just when Lake Region was gaining some momentum, lightning and rain disrupted what Thunder head coach Randy Howze said "was a very disappointing time for these young men."
Fort Meade 7 7 0 X 14
Lake Region 0 7 0 X — 7
First Quarter
FM — Tobias Culpepper 16 pass from Jay Smith (Caleb Whitted kick) 3:27.
Second Quarter
FM — Culpepper 42 pass from Smith (Whitted kick) 9:33.
LR — Gareth Hutton 2 run (Jared Blackburn kick) 31.7 seconds.
Officials halted the game between Fort Meade and Lake Region with 10:20 remaining in the third quarter on Friday night because of lightning, giving Fort Meade the 14-7 victory in the Kickoff Classic.
"It's a Classic (pre-season game)," said Lake Region athletic director William Bullock. "This was being on the safe side since radar showed a lot behind what had already started."
The Miners scored first in the opening quarter on a 16-yard pass from quarterback Jay Smith to Tobias Culpepper. The Miners drove 51 yards in eight plays, culminating in Smith's 16-yard pass to Culpepper.
Midway though the drive, the Miners dodged an interception by the Thunder's Renell Guerrier when Lake Region was called for roughing the passer.
The Miners, who were 8-3 in Class 3A last season, added another score, a 42-yard hookup of Smith and Culpepper with 9:33 remaining in the second quarter for a 14-0 lead.
Things changed after that for Lake Region. Sophomore running back Jordan Williams carried nine times for 37 yards in the Thunder's 75-yard drive, and senior Gareth Hutton scored from 2 yards out with 31.7 seconds left in the half.
Fort Meade ran off three plays to open the third quarter, but on the fourth play, Tyler King's fumble was recovered by Alex Louis Pierre for the Thunder. The game was stopped and Lake Region saw another possible scoring chance disappear.

All the Light There Was is the story of an Armenian family's struggle to survive the Nazi occupation of Paris in the 1940s - a lyrical, finely wrought tale of loyalty, love, and the many faces of resistance.
On the day the Nazis march down the rue de Belleville, 14-year-old Maral Pegorian is living with her family in Paris; like many other Armenians who survived the genocide in their homeland, they have come to Paris to build a new life. The adults immediately set about gathering food and provisions, bracing for the deprivation they know all too well. But the children - Maral, her brother Missak, and their close friend Zaven - are spurred to action of another sort, finding secret and not-so-secret ways to resist their oppressors. Only when Zaven flees with his brother Barkev to avoid conscription does Maral realize that the Occupation is not simply a temporary outrage to be endured. After many fraught months, just one brother returns, changing the contours of Maral's world completely.
Like Tatiana de Rosnay's Sarah's Key and Jenna Blum's Those Who Save Us, All the Light There Was is an unforgettable portrait of lives caught in the crosswinds of history.

Prosecutors claimed he was warned that he would be left with no family and no home if cash demands were not met.
Menacing phone calls to the alleged victim were said to have included information on cars he owned and his trips to a casino.
Details emerged on Thursday during a bail application by a man accused of involvement in the suspected extortion attempt.
David McAdams, 34, of Sandy Hill, Bessbrook, Co Down is charged with blackmail and possession of a stun-gun.
The alleged victim, who owns a business on Belfast's Crumlin Road, received a number of calls from a blocked number in August.
Prosecution barrister Fiona O'Kane said the caller described his knowledge of the businessman, a supposed republican from south Armagh, trading in a loyalist area of the city.
"He mentioned his wife's name, the name of the injured party's two daughters and gave details of the injured party's home address," she told the court.
"He was able to give details of the vehicles the injured party owned and his socialising, such as that he went to a casino.
"The male caller then asked for £50,000. Apparently the threat was in a way that 'If you want to continue working in north Belfast you will pay this money'."
Reduced demands for two payments of £7,000 were made when he said he could not afford the first amount, it was claimed.
Police were alerted following further calls to try to arrange a location to make the payments, according to the prosecution.
Setting out the alleged threats made to the businessman, Mrs O'Kane told the court: "If he didn't pay, he would soon have no family and no residence."
CCTV footage links McAdams to the purchase of a mobile phone and top-up cards bought to make the calls, she claimed.
A stun-gun was found in the accused's car when he was arrested on 30 August, the court heard.
He denies any involvement in blackmail and claimed to have bought the top-ups for others.
McAdams told police he was given the stun-gun the year before, believing it to be a mobile-phone.
A haulage boss also gave evidence that a driving job was on offer to the accused in a bid to secure bail.
But Lord Justice Coghlin instead adjourned the case for it to be referred back to another judge who previously heard details of the allegations.

Zimmerman Disobeys Orders
Despite being told by 911 operators not to follow Trayvon, Zimmerman pursues the teen. He initially follows him in a car and later on foot. Armed with a 9-millimeter handgun, Zimmerman fatally shoots Trayvon after a struggle. Trayvon was carrying only a package of Skittles, a can of Arizona iced tea and his cellphone.

Let's face it. A lot goes into planning a wedding.From deciding on a venue, to planning the menu, decor and guest list (amongst other things), a lot of hard work and detailed preparation is required to ensure that everything will end up running beautifully and smoothly on your big day.Not only that, but you'll have to spend hours on prepping and preening on the day you get married, spend at least half a day at the reception, and at the end of it all, end up being too exhausted to do anything even remotely steamy or romantic later that evening.Which, if you're not one to make a big fuss about major events, is exactly why you should consider just running off to get married. It not only gives you the chance to be impulsive and spontaneous, but it's also an incredibly romantic way to get hitched.Still not convinced? We've compiled our top 5 reasons why we think eloping is a good idea.1. It's cost effective. It's the most obvious one on the list, but given our economic climate, saving money, if you ask me, is a pretty valid reason to opt for running off to tie the knot instead.Just think of all the things you can do (and buy) with the money you don't have to spend on the venue, invitations, catering and everything else that will basically force you to take out a huge loan to pay for the wedding .2. Broader honeymoon options. With the amount of money you'll be saving local destinations (as fabulous as they are) don't have to be your only option.If you work carefully with your money (yes, you do still have to budget - it would be silly not to), you could have your dream honeymoon on some exotic island location. Even better - you can actually extend your stay because of all the money you've saved.3. It's fuss-free. No wedding to plan? No dress fittings? No meetings with the caterers? You see where I'm going with this, don't you?While there is an element of excitement to it all, not having to deal with any planning related issues is a win-win and stress-free situation for you. Ok, not entirely stress-free.You're still going to have to deal with the best way to break the news to the rest of the family about you not planning a big wedding. That is, if you're going to.4. No guest list drama. Oh this one is, without a doubt, the bane of every bride-and-groom-to-be's existence.On the one hand, your mother wants you to invite Aunty Myrtle, who always has something critical to say about you and your partner, and on the other hand, your groom's divorced mother does not want his father and his new flooze to attend the wedding.And while it is your choice, at the end of the day, It's still a difficult and nightmarish labyrinth to navigate isn't it? Eloping pretty much solves all that.5. Preserving your sanity. Because sometimes you get too caught up in the planning, that you lose perspective and forget what the idea behind getting married is actually all about.Have you eloped? What was your experience like? Share your stories with us below.

Nice game and i love the sword thats all i used nice and keep it up
the graphics (especially the explosions) ARE SOOOO GOOOOD! i love it
Music in cutscenes a tad bit loud.
Yeah, Its a good game so far. But in the cut scenes, it seems to have music that is louder then the actual voices. Or, Well some voices. It seems the captain and the main character have fine volume, Or it could just be the Doc, I Dunno.
i tought this was strategy style but its wasnt
i still love the game alot cause it looks so like strategy but it isnt

Not since 1989 has a whole region undergone democratic revolution, but what are the common denominators in the Arab Spring? Jefferson Chase asked Lebanese lecturer and activist Ziad Majed, and he gave some surprising answersMore
In the autumn of 1989, Dresden was one of the East German cities that became known worldwide for the peaceful "Monday demonstrations" against the government of the GDR that precipitated the fall of the Berlin Wall a few months later. One of the slogans chanted by the protesters at the time was "Wir sind das Volk" (We are the people). Twenty-five years on, a very different movement began organising weekly Monday demonstrations and chanting "Wir sind das Volk". In this photo gallery, we chart some of the reactions to Pegida and the developments relating to this anti-immigration and anti-Islam movement.

Royal Society Award for Geography Researcher
Story supplied by LU Press Office
Barbara Maher, Professor of Physical Geography and co-Director of the internationally-known Centre for Environmental Magnetism and Palaeomagnetism has been awarded a prestigious five-year Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award, which aims to help universities retain talented researchers.
Professor Maher's research uses the magnetic properties of natural and synthetic materials to answer important questions about climate change and the environment. Magnetic particles, present everywhere in the environment, in rocks, sediments, soils, dusts, water and in humans, act as nanoscale recording mechanisms of changes in climate and environment, and even human health.
This research has resulted in the manufacture of new magnetic materials which can solve serious water contamination problems. It is also finding answers to other environmental questions such as how windblown dust to the oceans changed greenhouse gas levels in the past, and where and to what level vehicle pollution occurs.
The new and exciting development of synthetic magnetic particles for water decontamination was a direct result of Professor Maher's climate-related research. She started working on making nanoscale magnetic materials in the lab in order to try and understand the conditions in which soils make magnetic particles. Professor Maher's work has shown that soils make more magnetite (a strongly magnetic iron oxide) when they are subjected to more wetting and drying cycles, i.e. under higher rainfall conditions. This link between soil magnetism and climate at the present day has been extended to find out how rainfall has varied in the past - by measuring the magnetic properties of fossil soils buried between layers of windblown dust in places like northeastern China, where more than 32 fossil soil layers act as rainfall recorders for the last 2 million years.
Based on the fossil soil magnetic properties, Professor Maher has identified when the monsoon failed and when it was intense, and began to predict how it will behave into the future, a key outcome for the millions of people who live in the Asian monsoon zone.

Smith-Rivera scored 22 points versus Providence |
Feb. 10, 2014
Final Stats | Quotes | USATSI | Photo Gallery
by Bobby Bancroft
WASHINGTON - D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera led four Hoyas in double figures with 22 points as Georgetown won its fourth straight game in defeating Providence 83-71 on Monday night in front of 8,063 fans at Verizon Center.
Georgetown improved to 15-9 and evened its BIG EAST record at 6-6 while earning a season series split with Providence which dropped its third straight game to fall to 16-9 and 6-6 in the league.
Senior guard Markel Starks scored 14 points to go along with four assists and three rebounds. Junior forward Jabril Trawick added 12 points and three rebounds while freshman forward Reggie Cameron scored eleven points to round out Hoyas in double- figures as Georgetown set a season high in points during BIG EAST play.
Georgetown also received solid contributions from the interior as senior forward Nate Lubick chipped in with eight points, six rebounds, and two blocks while junior forward Mikael Hopkins added eight points, 11 rebounds, and also added two blocks. Seniors Aaron Bowen (six points) and Moses Ayegba (two points) helped the Hoyas hold a 20-4 advantage in bench point and ensured that all eight Hoyas that saw the court scored at least one field goal on the night.
Smith-Rivera scored 13 of his 24 points in the second half as Georgetown rallied from a 36-32 halftime deficit. The sophomore guard again turned in another all-around performance by adding a game high five assists to go along with five rebounds.
"He shouldn't be defined by just scoring points," Coach Thompson III explained. "We need him to rebound, we need him throw passes to other guys and then he'll find a way to get his baskets. He did a good job of that today."
Georgetown improved to 8-2 against Providence under Coach John Thompson III and improved to 22-4 all-time against the Friars at home. The Hoyas current four game winning streak is their second longest streak of the season.
"I like the way our guys are competing," Coach Thompson III said about his team's current winning streak on the heels of a five-game losing skid. "We've had different guys step up and make big plays. Jabril [Trawick]'s three was a big, big shot. We made our foul shots coming down the end."
After trailing by as many as seven midway through the second half at 54-47, Georgetown began to methodically chip away at the Friars lead.
Georgetown managed to regain the lead after a Markel Starks jumper pushed the Hoyas ahead 58-57 with 6:41 remaining but the game remained in the balance for the next few possessions.
Leading 60-59, Starks missed a three-pointer but was able to grab the offensive rebound after Lubick batted the loose ball back with his right fist towards Starks deep in the backcourt. The Hoyas point man drove straight to the rim before dropping it off to Lubick for an easy finish which pushed Georgetown's lead to 62-59.
Moments later Georgetown again used an offensive rebound - this time from junior forward Mikael Hopkins - in setting up Smith-Rivera's second three-pointer of the night to give the Hoyas their largest lead of the second half at 65-59.
On the very next possession - and from nearly the exact same spot on the court as Smith-Rivera's previous three-pointer, Trawick received a swing pass from Starks before burying his fifth three-pointer of the season, bringing the fans to their feet and extending the lead to 68-61 with just over three minutes left in the game.
Georgetown was able to keep Providence at arm's length the rest of the way as the Hoyas converted 11-of-12 from the line and the Hoyas moved into a fourth place tie with Marquette and Providence in the BIG EAST standings.
"It was good for us," Smith-Rivera said after scoring at least 20 points for the sixth time this season. "It was more of a redemption game than anything. We definitely wanted to come out here and get another win." Georgetown shot 47 percent (26-of-55) from the field while holding Providence to just 38 percent from the field as the Friars connected on just 21-of-56 from the field. Perhaps just as important was the Hoyas matching a season-low with just five turnovers to go along with 15 assists.
"Guys are stepping up," Coach Thompson III said. "I think there's an understanding that just about everyone is going to get a shot and you just have to step up and play. Guys are doing their job when called upon and we have to keep that mindset."
Georgetown took control of the game early on by hitting 11 of its first 21 shots from the field and took a 27-15 lead with 7:39 remaining after a D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera midrange jumper.
Providence senior guard Bryce Cotton scored 19 first half points going 5-of-6 from the field and 5-of-5 from the free throw line. Cotton's three-pointer at the buzzer gave the Friars a 36-32 lead heading into halftime locker room. Cotton finished with a game-high 31 points to lead three Friars in double-figures.
Cameron scored the first five points of the second half to cut the Friars lead to 38-37 with 17:46 remaining. It was Cameron's 21st made three-pointer of the season as the freshman scored in double-figures of the third time in his young career.
Georgetown is back in action on Sunday, Feb. 17, visiting Madison Square Garden for the second time this month, playing long-time BIG EAST Conference rival St. John's. Tip-of at the World's Most Famous Arena is slated for 7 p.m. The game will be shown live on Fox Sports 1 with Dick Stockton and Tarik Turner calling the action. The game can be heard locally on ESPN 980 AM.
Notes: Starks passed former Hoya guard Jessie Sapp ('09) on the school's all-time 3pt list with his two three-pointers against the Friars Monday night. Starks now ranks 8th all time for the Hoyas with 149 career makes from long range. With six rebounds, Lubick passed former Hoya Jameel Watkins ('00) to move into 25th place on the school's all-time list with 559.
