Taking Back Our Schools - Student Style
A civilized student revolution is the place to start.
As the quality of our public schools and Universities plunge, the academic morons chant endlessly the three big lies; that the problem is the government doesn't provide enough money, classes are too large and, of course, the really big problem is the parents! They say if lazy parents would just teach their unruly children a little respect and discipline they would behave in school - riiiiiiiiiiiiight.
Most of you will probably agree that you can get away with a lot more at school than you can at home. If the blame can be laid at the feet of the parents it is only because they have allowed the schools to usurp their parental responsibility. Mychal Massie agreed that parents need to step up and take a larger role in managing their children's education when he said, "Not every public school is bad, and not every private school is good. I agree that, thanks to Jimmy Carter's creation of the Department of Education, we now have commissioned centers of agitprop, i.e., government schools that have taught state-sponsored liberalism and misinformation for nearly four decades. I still argue that this only takes place because parents have abdicated their responsibility for the education of their children." Amen.
In good faith, most parents have assumed the schools were in fact teaching their children the skills needed to go out into the world and function as responsible productive members of society. They believed in their hearts that the schools were teaching their children the same skills they were taught. Historically the foundation of K-12 education in the United States has been the three "Rs" - reading, writing and arithmetic (for this generation: that is an old tongue in cheek joke: "reading, 'riting & 'rithmatic"). Unknown to most parents, these basics have been steadily supplanted in recent years with a "progressive curriculum" emphasizing social and political issues, with devastating results. The academic skills of the average American student has been seriously degraded. You students are the ones who have been shortchanged by the very people entrusted with your education.
Without a basic competency in reading, writing and ciphering it will be difficult for you to learn much of other subjects like geography, literature, political science, biology, or anything else, yet our schools continue to obsess on socio-political indoctrination at your expense. They have become propaganda mills rather than true centers of learning. They are much more interested in pushing their nanny-state political ideology and sexual values than teaching skills that will help you succeed in life. As American students continue a 40 year decline in academic achievement our schools continue to sacrifice real life skills on the altar of liberal ideology.
Outside of a few breakout schools providing exceptional schooling - schools producing students consistently ranking high internationally - the trend for several decades has been a decline in the scholastic ability of American students compared to foreign students. Our world ranking has dropped like a stone and yet we continue to graduate students lacking basic remedial skills.
American schools which once led the world have now fallen behind many third world institutions. Incredibly, the more time American students spend in public school the more they fall behind the rest of the world. As fourth graders, U.S. students rank in the top four or five countries in the world, but as they continue on through the system they fall farther and farther behind. By the time they graduate from high school their international ranking has dropped below another forty or fifty Countries. And this gap continues to widen right on into college.
The unabashed educational establishment has all but abolished teaching its charges the skills necessary to function as independent and productive members of society in favor socio-political indoctrination. Buzz words, talking points and sound-bites that promulgate liberal ideology have replaced the traditional curriculum.
Take "diversity", the new uber-concept. The obsession with "diversity" is a perfect example of the institutional academic retardation rampant in today's public education system. If you attended a public school during the last ten years or are presently a student at most universities then you have been programmed like Pavlov's dogs to respond positively to this word. Teachers, professors, schools and universities boast endlessly of their commitment to "diversity". And now after being captive since early childhood to these academic lemmings, you know in your heart that diversity is "good", but is it always?
Look it up. Diversity literally means "different or varied". It implies a range of differences. Is a range of differences always a good thing? Or can it sometimes prove an obstacle to success? Have you ever heard that too many cooks spoil the broth?
A diversity of elements in a metal alloy can give added strength or flexibility. On the other hand a diversity of elements in a metal alloy can also lead to structural weakness or too much rigidity. Exactly what influence the diversity of elements has on the alloy depends on what those "diverse" elements are and how they interact with each other. Just the fact that the elements are "diverse" has little or no bearing at all on the quality of the alloy.
A diversity of opinions in a political forum may lead to a strong consensus as well as an ideological impasse. On other occasions it can lead to chaos or anarchy. A diversity of political opinion can be desirable or make it impossible to forge a cohesive effort - again, depending on the nature of the diversity of the elements involved.
I seem to remember an ancient story of a great tower being built that was halted after a great deal of construction due to the chaos caused by the many different languages spoken by the workers. Communication became so difficult the entire project was abandoned. Apparently a diversity of languages was not a plus in the Babel construction industry.
Try an experiment - hold a pencil with one hand firmly gripping each end. Bend it until it breaks - not too difficult, huh? Now bundle as many of the same uniform size as you can comfortably hold and try it again. This time it will not be so easy. If your bundle is sufficient you probably will not able to break it. One pencil is easy to destroy, but many together are strong enough to withstand the effort to break them because there is strength in unity.
Now take it one step further and bundle up a couple different size pencils, a piece of celery, a straw, two red vines, a dog turd and a breadstick and try to break it. That is a pretty diverse bundle and yet you can probably break it easily - Not much strength in that diversity.
Next, bundle a couple of different sized pencils, a piece of hard rubber hose, a plastic ruler, an iron rod and a steel rod (roughly the same dimensions as the original pencil) and try to break it. You will probably be unsuccessful because there is more than sufficient strength in this diversity.
So diversity by itself is neither good nor bad. It is nothing more than the definition of a range of differences. Allow me to repeat that for students who have been brainwashed into believing diversity in and of itself is a panacea: Diversity by itself is neither good nor bad. It is nothing more than the description of a range of differences. It is what that diversity brings to the process that defines its value.
"E Pluribus Unum" is our National Motto. It was adopted by our Founding Fathers in August 1776. The translation of this Latin phrase is, "Out of many, One". It describes an action of many uniting into one. This profound concept celebrates the value of diversity as a source of strength when used as a foundation to forge unity because there is strength in unity and as a Nation we need to be strong to survive. Remember - one pencil is easy, but many together are strong and hard to break.
This bastardization of "diversity" is only one of the many political agendas promulgated by an educational establishment apparently aimed at molding students into good little political drones instead of teaching them to think for themselves. Independent thought begets diversity. Our public schools and universities are anything but diversified. Progressive political groupthink is pervasive. "Diversity" to them, really means anything non-conservative. Try challenging your teachers to define "diversity". Chances are, they will be unable to do so without using liberal talking points.
Surprisingly, the universities (our vaunted institutes of "higher learning") easily outstrip the K-12 public schools in their groupthink bias. If you think the media is leftist, check out the political affiliations of college instructors. In many of our most acclaimed universities the staff is overwhelmingly liberal. In some cases entire departments are staffed by admitted leftists (by now some of you sheep are seething by my use of the term "leftist". That is only because you have been conditioned to hear terms like "ultra right, right-wing nuts, religious far right", etc. as accurate, but corresponding terms describing the left are generally described as hate speech by academia. You have been taught to get angry at such talk - are you?). The point is, you are being proselyted more than educated.
As public school students you have not been exposed to a diversity of ideas. Regardless of instructor claims to the contrary, the academic ivory towers regularly censor social and political comments that disagree with their political agenda. A few universities have even gone as far as setting aside "free speech" areas as the only place on campus where certain subjects can be discussed (these are generally located in areas not likely to get much exposure for the participants). Did you get that? If you disagree with their politics they won't let you talk. Just recently a Professor at Central Connecticut State University called the campus police on a student who had fulfilled an assignment to discuss a "relevant issue in the media" because the student's topic was gun violence on campus and he had the temerity to suggest that if students with legal concealed carry permits were allowed to carry guns on campus many of the mass attacks could be stopped earlier. That evening the police summoned him to their office, listed the guns he owned and asked where they were (legally locked in a safe at his home twenty miles away). Apparently the Professor had filed a complaint with the campus police, stating that his presentation had "frightened some of the students! She actually called the police on a student for discussing an idea.
Evidently, the timid Professor is so emotionally opposed to the Second Amendment she was willing to ignore the First Amendment to shut him up. Whatever your take on the Second Amendment is, take a minute tonight and read the First Amendment to our Constitution. Then tell me how our Universities have arrived at campus censorship except in designated areas? Do our purveyors of diversity actually think they can decide whatyou can say, when you can say it and where you can say it! What convoluted rationalization did they employ to come up with this policy?
It didn't take much. I doubt if they have thought this unconstitutional policy through. They think so highly of themselves, they just know you dummies need to be told what to think and they are just the authorities to do it. Still, it is difficult to understand the immense pompous condescension of the educational establishment in modern times. A hundred years ago college educations were hard to come by and were enjoyed primarily by a tiny minority of the gifted or wealthy. To be a college professor in those days was quite an accomplishment. They were an elite cadre worthy of great respect, because only a relatively small segment of our population had the privilege of attending an institute of higher learning, let alone obtain a graduate degree. Fewer still were qualified to teach.
Today however, that is no longer the case. A college education is readily obtainable to most Americans. There are now millions of undergraduate degree holders and hundreds of thousands of citizens with Masters Degrees, Doctorates and their equivalents, yet our Professors still assume a delusional air of elitism and accomplishment as if they are more intelligent and accomplished than everybody else.
When your Professors pontificate try not to be too impressed. They may seem awfully smart to young students, but there is an old saying that should be kept in mind as you listen to their diatribes: "Them that can, do. Them that can't, teach". There much truth in this. Think of it this way - would you rather go mountain climbing with someone who has real world experience or someone who has read a whole bunch of books about it? Or would you rather fly with an experienced pilot or someone who has 'studied' flying for years, but never actually sat in a pilot's seat?
Does your professor walk the walk as well as talk the talk? Does your Psychology Professor have a real viable private practice or do they just have one or two actual (student) clients? Has your Literature Instructor ever actually been published outside of the textbooks they authored (and force you to buy to pass their class)? How about your Journalism Professor - have they ever held a job in the real world practicing what they preach? How many books have they sold to non-students? Have they ever regularly written for a newspaper or periodical? Has anybody outside of their classroom ever heard of them?
Does the person teaching you actually know by experience what it is like to function in the real world or simply tell others how to? If they do, count yourself fortunate. Academics often start their careers as student teachers and move on up within the hierarchy with limited experience outside the educational system. But, there is big difference in studying a subject and experiencing it - between thinking about what it might be like and actually having done it.
In too many cases the truth is these Bozos couldn't make a living in the real world. That is not to say all of them are worthless posers. I can think, (as you probably can) of a handful in my life that were undeniably intelligent and inspiring. I have known great teachers that had a profound influence upon my life, but the fact is they were a minority. Today they are even fewer and farther in between - you don't believe it? Try 'Googling' "unqualified teachers", but you had better set aside some time because you are going to find numerous articles and studies from all across the Nation documenting the rampant incompetence among our public school teachers.
Our college and university instructors may be barely more proficient remedially than public school teachers, but they lack the ability to engage in real critical thinking. Like the dopey CCSU Professor, they feel deeply, but seem unable to think deeply. Their passions are conceptualized via buzz words and soundbites. More often than not our educational institutions are overwhelmingly staffed by ideological lemmings devoid of individual thought, but steeped in socialist groupthink, teachers who can't pass their own tests and professors that have never worked in the real world. Yet you spend more hours per day with them than you do with your own family.
Who do you think cares more about your education - your family or your school? Your educators don't. They are all about preserving their personal empire. Efforts to teach outside their ideological box are typically met by hostility from the ivory towers of academia. Those who disagree will find themselves censured or forced to leave and there isn't much chance of significant change in the near future. The teachers unions are among the most powerful in the Country. They are the tails that wag our political dogs. Their political influence is undeniable and like everything else it is about their own personal power and money.
Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why the schools are so diligent at making sure you attend, but not so diligent about actually teaching you anything useful? They don't seem to care if you if learn anything, but they damn well want you in attendance every day. Year after year they continue to promote students into higher and higher grades even though they can't perform competently where they are - why?
Because our schools have become big business. Follow the money! They refuse to hold students too accountable lest too many become angry or discouraged and drop out of school. This prospect is horrifying, but not because they are concerned with the student's ability to function productively in society - it's about money. The government pays each school a specified amount of money, per student for each day attended. Got that? Every morning when you show up for roll call the school cash box chings another deposit. You are their golden goose. Without you they cannot support their cumbersome, overburdened system. That is why they want you there every day. They want the money.
That is also the reason for their vehement hatred of Home Schooling and Charter Schools. It is the basis of their opposition to school vouchers. They can't stand any competition. Both Home Schoolers and Charter School students routinely outperform their public school counterparts. Public school student academic competence is embarrassing when juxtaposed with the non-public school students. It is not even a close contest. The public schools receive an obscene of amount taxpayer dollars, their unions and lobbyists wield incredible political influence and they enjoy the full support of the media, yet the majority cannot hold a candle to Mom teaching across the kitchen table from an old book.
Even with all that money too many public schools are dirty, violent, shabby facilities. They suffer with dilapidated buildings, old athletic equipment, not enough books, antiquated technology, unqualified teachers - but the Superintendents always seem to get their moolah. There are almost four dozen Superintendents in the State of California alone, who earn more money per year than the Vice President of the United States! Somehow they can't quite figure out how to budget billions and billions of dollars well enough to make sure there are enough books to go around, but they can sure make certain they get their "vig" off each student that shows up for class. Did you catch that? Your Superintendent gets a portion of the daily stipend from the State for each student's attendance. Some get as much as forty dollars per student per day. Multiply that by the number of students in your school district and you can understand their huge incomes. Your Superintendent wants you in class because he/she gets a "commission" on it! Every morning when you answer roll call another slice of taxpayer dollars gets added to the Super's paycheck.
Your school maybe old and beat up, but you can bet your District Superintendent's house is big, beautiful and up to date. Check it out!
If the posers who run our educational system really believe in it, why do so many teachers, administrators and politicians opt to put their children in private schools? Because they care deeply how their own children turn out. They understandably want the best for them. As for the rest of us?- public schools are just fine - as long as we show up and they get their money.
The administrators of our public schools know the score. They are perfectly aware that recipients of graduate degrees in education have GPAs and personal test score averages lower than most other graduate programs. Some are certainly the 'best and brightest', but unfortunately these may be the exceptions that prove the rule. Teachers and professors are more likely to be mediocre seekers of security and status in a non-threatening environment rather than shakers and movers willing to risk much to accomplish much.
This explains their pathological lack of creativity. It is why they parrot each other politically. Don't be intimidated. Think independently and don't be afraid to debate them. With a little preparation you can resist the groupthink and make up your own mind. A little knowledge will beat the hell out of a lot of propaganda. Don't think it will be easy. They have the power. They will try to shut you up or make you go away. They want you to get in line and conform to their ideology. If you do think independently they will attempt to ridicule you into silence. That is their primary tool. But, if that doesn't work they will try, as at CCSU, to enforce their will using the legal system.
Be strong. Argue with them when they indoctrinate. The last thing they want is to incorporate a diversity of thought - they have to be the authority. You see, if you think outside their socio-political box you may prove them wrong. Since their hubris is founded on their belief that you are not qualified to make your own decisions - they need to be right in order to keep their power over you. They will go to great lengths to maintain this delusion.
But, the winds of change are blowing. The toothpaste is out of the tube. The general public is universally unhappy with the state of our public schools. For now the educators retain a death lock on the politics of education, but that grip is losing its strength. The people are demanding accountability and change - real and effective change for the better. Every day more and more students abandon public education for Charter schools and home schooling. Others move to better districts. The pressure to provide school vouchers substantial enough to subsidize non-public education is increasing. The ability to freely choose between schools is another option being sought by parents across the Nation. All of which threaten the rotten-to-the-roots tyranny of the public school system. The pressure is building. Keep it up. A couple more good whiffs and the whole corrupt system is going to start coming come down.
They can obfuscate by blaming a lack of funds, class size or your parents, but the truth is these problems can be laid squarely at the feet of those we have trusted to educate us. They have more than enough money now. All they need is to budget responsibly by spending that money on the students and facilities - not the administration. Granted, smaller classes may be better and increased parental involvement is necessary. But the root of the problem is the politically driven agenda carried out by inept administrators and unqualified instructors bent on accumulating ever more money and power at your expense. Some of the very top schools in the Nation have overcrowded classrooms and are located in some of the poorest school districts, proving daily that although these issues need to be addressed they are not the cause of our public school demise. They are only red herrings employed to demand more money and increased power.
The good news is - change is coming. Parents are catching on and the pressure is building. Still, it will take a long, concerted effort to change this monopoly. Its proponents are deeply entrenched and will fight to the death to keep their status quo. They have the most powerful lobby in the Country. They have strong political support and media backing, but we can do it. Next time you go to the polls, cast your ballot on educational issues against anything supported by the educational establishment. Elect people to your school board from outside the system. Vote against captive politicians supporting the "educators". Report unqualified teachers and administrators abusing their power. Tell your parents when they force their views on you and write your political representatives and demand a complete overhaul of our public schools and universities.
Most important, fight them from the inside. Don't sit passively and allow them to peddle their socialist dogma and politically correct values. Stand up for your beliefs. Be firm in your convictions. Seek outside sources of information and know of what you speak. Pit your knowledge against their emotion. Don't be contentious or resort to acrimony even when they do. Be honest, articulate and respectful, but don't back down. If you stay calm while you disagree it will drive them crazy.
Now be good students and go to school and argue with your teachers.

Tommy Rees Suspended For Season Opener
Huge news just broke for fans of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, who have been wondering which quarterback will start for the Fighting Irish this fall.
Today, Brian Kelly suspended junior quarterback Tommy Rees, as well as senior linebacker Carlo Calabrese, for one game each, in response to their off-season arrests, the South Bend Tribune reports.
This is a major blow to Rees, who is in a three-way battle for the starting quarterback job. It remains to be seen whether he can regain the starting position after missing out on the season opener versus Navy in Dublin, Ireland.
The starter will now likely be either Andrew Hendrix or Everett Golson.

November 30, 2012 - I wore these all over a hilly neighborhood at night because my high heels were about to get me killed... or at least in severe, ankle-twisting pain! The Spare Soles fit into my purse beautifully in their cute little pouch, and slipped onto my sore feet, giving me sweet sweet relief. Finally I could catch up with the rest of my group. Now if only I could magically shrink those high heels I was carrying... Five stars for Spare Soles! Thanks for offering these!
July 6, 2012 - Very comfortable, I love them after lots of walking, my feet feel rested!

A Hannah Smith Novel (Book #3)
Hannah Smith returns in the stunning new adventure in the New York Times–bestselling series from the author of the Doc Ford novels. The house is historic, some say haunted. It is also slated to be razed and replaced by condos, unless Hannah Smith can do something about it. She's been hired by a wealthy Palm Beach widow to prove that the house's seller didn't disclose everything he knew about theA Hannah Smith Novel (Book #1)
Randy Wayne White has long been known for suspenseful plots, complex characters, and an extraordinary sense of place. His new series has them all—and then some.

She makes her living as a fishing guide, but her friends, neighbors, and clients also know her as an uncommonly resourcefulA Hannah Smith Novel (Book #2)
An almost twenty-year-old unsolved murder from Florida's pot-hauling days gets Hannah Smith's attention, but so does a more immediate problem. A private museum devoted solely to the state's earliest settlers and pioneers has been announced, and many of Hannah's friends and neighbors in Sulfur Wells are being pressured to make contributions.The problem is the whole thing is a scam, and when HannahReligion and Women in Britain, c. 16601760
The essays contained in this volume examine the particular religious experiences of women within a remarkably vibrant and formative era in British religious history.

Civilians and War in Europe 1618-1815 examines the relationship between civilians and warfare from the start of the Thirty Years War to the end of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. The volume interrogates received narratives of warfare that identify the development of modern 'total' war with the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, and instead considers the continuities andGreat Power Politics, 1815–1914
An Age of Neutrals provides a pioneering history of neutrality in Europe and the wider world between the Congress of Vienna and the outbreak of the First World War.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Paul Offline
DO you ever imagine what it would be like to not use the Internet for a year? Paul Miller, a technology reporter for The Verge - one of the world's largest tech news websites -- did just that.
On May 1, 2012, Miller decided that he was going to go cold turkey -- no Twitter, news websites, email, nothing. He was giving it all up for a year.
Why did he do it? Because he felt that the Internet was taking over his life and he felt incredibly overwhelmed.
"I use the Internet all day and all night. I couldn't imagine not using it for one hour, never mind 365 days," he says in The Verge.
Paul said that the Internet to him wasn't a tool -- it was becoming a major distraction. That is why he needed to leave. He left his major reporting duties at The Verge on May 1, 2012, as his job would require him to use the World Wide Web. The only thing he wrote were journal entries that described his unplugged day-to-day life.
One of the first things he found was that his writing productivity increased quite a bit because he was not jumping in and out of the Internet while trying to get his work done. He also learned the Internet was not the main cause of his problems in life. When he was Internet-free, his problems manifested themselves in other ways.
The Verge had a camera crew follow Paul around for the year and they put together an awesome 15-minute documentary. Paul Offline was an incredibly cool project run by the folks over at The Verge and if you are interested head over to their website to find out all of articles, interviews and video.
iPhone 5S/6
AS June approaches, Apple's World Wide Developers Conference is just right around the corner.
It's the time of year when all of the iOS developers, tech reporters, and important people in the world migrate to San Francisco to watch Apple CEO Tim Cook take the stage to announce new software and hardware.
Every year, it is expected Apple will announce its new iPhone. What will it be called? What will it look like? What will be new? Rumour mills are spinning faster than ever right now trying to compete for the top headline. With Samsung releasing its really big phones, it seems Apple is following suit by incrementally increasing the size of the iPhone year in year out (see accompanying chart). It's rumored that Apple has found a way to make the next iPhone larger without making any trade-offs with other parts of the device. I do not think Apple is going to change the design at all. My opinion is that it is going to call it the iPhone 5S, make it faster, give it better battery life and have a larger screen -- that's it.
I think Apple is really just focusing on improving iOS. It's rumoured Apple is making the next version of iOS incredibly "flat" and non-flashy. Apple is trying to de-glitz the software. I look forward to what Apple will present at WWDC this year and I will be sure to keep you updated.
Social blogging
WHEN it comes to blogging platforms, I have extreme ADD. I started my blog, TheDavidBell.com on WordPress. I then jumped to Blogger, then Tumblr, and now back to WordPress. I am one of those guys who is never happy with the way something looks. I'm always looking to improve on design and content layout. The biggest pratfall a blogger can make is to not post content. Since we live in an incredibly social age, we are always tweeting, making a Facebook status, or Instagramming a photo. Taking all of this content and re-posting it to your blog is quite the hassle.
In the past, I would take Instagram pictures, then sent them to my email, then post them to my blog. It was annoying, which led to my lazy self not posting to my blog anymore. I then stumbled across a service called Rebel Mouse. Rebel Mouse is a social-blogging service that asks for you to input all of your social media profiles (Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Vine etc.) and then it amalgamates the content from each network and organizes it in a beautiful way, which is then displayed on your blog. So when you tweet an article, or take an Instagram photo, it automatically refreshes your blog and loads the new content. It's awesome. The service is free if you simply want a yourname.rebelmouse.com URL and it costs $10 per month if you want to setup domain forwarding. Check out my blog and see if Rebel Mouse is right for you!

Robert De Niro, Ed Norton and Milla Jovovich star in this drama thriller about a convicted arsonist trying to manipulate a parole officer with the help of his beautiful wife
More supermarianated fun from the mind of Gerry Anderson
The second Thunderbirds movie is not that different from the original 1966 offering - bald bad guy the Hood's up to no good, lots of stuff gets blown up, the Tracey brothers scramble to save the world and, yet again, we don't get to see anywhere near enough of the very cool Thunderbird 2.
Entertaining if antiquated, what's interesting about Thunderbird 6 is that it could have been a very different movie. Between making the FAB films, creator Gerry Anderson conceived a new TV series 'Captain Scarlett And The Mysterons'. Every bit as enjoyable as Anderson's previous offerings, 'Captain Scarlett' scored over the likes of 'Stingray' and 'Supercar' courtesy of its more sophisticated, more realistic puppets (the captain himself being a dead ringer for Liverpool and Scotland defender and BBC panelist Alan Hansen).
Delighted with the new marionettes, Anderson seriously considered replacing his old Thunderbirds puppets with state-of-the-art dummies. Perhaps fearful of what the fans might think, the brains behind 'UFO' and, ahem, 'Space Precinct' decided to stick with his beloved original models.
Not that the clunky old school creations can spoil Thunderbird 6. On the contrary, they rather enhance the enjoyment of this, a slice of kid-friendly cinema made for a far more innocent age. And while its deficiencies are all to readily apparent (the string count is incredibly high), Thunderbird 6, like Thunderbirds Are Go before it, is a far better film than Jonathan Frakes's live action bomb, a film so bad it even managed to stuff up Barry Gray's incredible theme tune. And how was this seemingly impossible feat achieved? By letting Busted re-record it, that's how.
Great fun for marianation fans yet to have been exposed to Team America.

Most popular dog breeds in America
These guys are happy because their little brains literally can't grasp the concept of global warming.
Topics: AlterNet, Religion, Christianity, Atheism, God, Jean-Luc Godard, Christian Right, Life News
Last month, we rounded up up some of the most absurd right-wing Christian billboards that accost drivers with messages of fire and brimstone. But the billboards are dwarfed by the seemingly countless number of offensive plain old church signs. Apparently, creativity flows when there are fewer financial constraints. So, without further ado, here are 10 cringe-inducing signs deemed appropriate to place in front of houses of worship.
1. Offensive and illiterate. To make this sign, just take the Obama/Osama classic and add three pinches of stupidity. First assume that parents give their sons the same name, minus one letter. Then misspell "hmmm" or "hmm." And finally, omit all punctuation. The genius behind the sign, Pastor Roger Byrd of the Jonesville Church of God in Jonesville, South Carolina, explained his process as well as the deep meaning not immediately evident: "See, it asks a question: Are they brothers? In other words, is he Muslim? I don't know. He says he's not. I hope he's not. But I don't know." Byrd was going for totally non-offensive fear-mongering, Muslim-baiting: "And it's just something to try to stir people's minds. It was never intended to hurt feelings or to offend anybody… It's simply to cause people to realize and to see what possibly could happen if we were to get someone in there that does not believe in Jesus Christ."
2. The meek shall NOT inherit the earth.Contrary to Jesus Christ's consistent and unequivocal "I'm with team poor" teachings, this church thought a good way to honor the son of God would be to adorn his house with a sign saying, "laziness and poverty are cousins." The saying is so catchy, it has graced church signs from Sylva, North Carolina to Portland, Oregon.
3. A three-word poem. This "Turn Or Burn" sign gives haiku a run for its money. In a mere three syllables, it gets right to the point, which is that you should embrace God or suffer eternal damnation. The fact that the poem rhymes is another reason it should be studied by all those interested in concise fear-based conversion poetry. The sign pictured is from the First Baptist Church Main St. of Little Rock, Arkansas. In addition to its poetic virtues, the message is extremely customizable! For example, it was adapted for homophobic purposes in Wilmington, North Carolina, to read, "God loves gays but hates a perverted life style. Turn or burn." Tammy Heuring, the wife of the Seagate Community Chapel pastor explains the medicinal powers of the hurtful sign: "It's kind of like salt in a wound… However, salt does heal a wound. It just hurts really bad at first." Hurt so good!
4. Short and not so sweet.This is another sign that doesn't waste any time, though it lacks poetry or rhyme and is more specific in its bigotry than the sign discussed above. The Islamophobia expressed in this sign is based, apparently, on a time-travel sect of Christianity which allows Jesus, who died nearly six centuries before Mohammed was born, to travel to the future, observe Islam and declare it diabolical. This sign was from the Florida church of Pastor Terry Jones, who was arrested on his way to burn 2,998 Qur'ans, one for every victim of the 2001 attacks.
5. Blame the Jews!It's pretty obvious that the sign below was not created with the aim of converting Jews to Christianity. But just to be sure, I checked to see what motivated the Reverend Maurice Gordon of Lovingway United Pentecostal Church, Denver, Colorado. Gordon explains that the sign isn't hateful because the particular Jews who have the blood of Jesus Christ lord and savior on their hands aren't alive anymore: "It would be hateful if it pointed at anybody alive today…. But this has been part of the record for 2,000 years." So, the sign isn't about recruiting Jews or spreading hate. What, then, is its aim? According to Gordon, it was to encourage people to read the Bible. Because nothing makes me want to read a book more than an anti-Semitic excerpt.
6. Vote for the lesser of two infidels.Pastor Ray Miller, who put up this sign in front of his church in Leakey, Texas, isn't a big believer in separation between church and state or the IRS, which prohibits non-profit organizations from endorsing candidates. So, with this VOTE FOR THE MORMON, NOT THE MUSLIM. THE CAPITALIST, NOT THE COMMUNIST, Miller combines an explicit illegal intervention in electoral politics with an ad-hominen and inaccurate (if only Obama were less of a capitalist) attack.
7. White on black crime (against God). Interestingly, the church boasting this sign isn't located in the bible belt. It is actually the Atlah Worldwide Missionary Church in New York City. There's a lot to unpack in this sign. Although it's not exactly clear how, Obama's stance on same-sex marriage has dire demon-based implications for black men. Specifically, white demons, suffering a double jungle-homo-fever, will wreak havoc on the black nuclear family.
8. Shut your pie hole for God.I would think that people who believed in God and heard him speak, would imagine or hear a very commanding voice. Apparently, however, God is a close talker. So his words of wisdom are easy to miss. Or as Pastor Ricky Patterson of the Valiant Church of God in Cleveland, Tennessee put it rather grouchily, IF YOU WOULD SHUT UP, YOU COULD HEAR GOD'S VOICE. I'm pretty sure that isn't in the Bible. Or if it is, it's not a very good translation.
9. A Katy Perry-based cautionary tale. Katy Perry may be the daughter of a preacherman. And he may say things like "You know how to make the Jew jealous? Have some money, honey." But even those Christian Right bona fides won't get the pop singer a get-out-of-hell (or jail, depending on where you live) free card for singing about locking lips with a lady in her hit "I Kissed a Girl (and I liked it)." Reverend Dave Allison, of Havens Corners Church in Blacklick, Ohio describesthe loving intentions behind a sign that says "I KISSED A GIRL AND I LIKED IT THEN I WENT TO HELL: We meant that as a loving warning to teens." I can feel the love.
10. Sex isn't church. If I were a member of the Catholic clergy, I'd probably stay away from any joke involving sex and the church. And I certainly wouldn't make a sex-church joke to try to guilt people into anything, like showing up. But, luckily for us, the person behind this Catholic church sign showed no signs of awareness or sensitivity toward the victims of the Church's sexual abuse epidemic. In that way, theSt Cyril of Alexandria Church, located in Houston, Texas does a good job representing the Vatican. So, good job, signmaker!

seeds for hanging baskets
HI, I'm hoping to start some seeds that will go into hanging baskets this spring and summer. I'm looking for some suggestions as to what to plant. I thought maybe alyssium? I'm pretty new at gardening and am looking for some help. thanks! Lisa
Where are you going to start these seeds. Do you have a light setup or cold frame to start them early. A window sill doesn't give enough light to grow good plants. Most seeds need a few weeks head start indoors before going outside after danger of frost is past.
If you don't have such a place look into the winter sowing forum. You will get help there and advice on what plants are good candidates for winter sowing.
Nasturtiums, lobelia, petunia, dwarf zinnias, swan river daisy and portulaca are all easily started from seed and would look good in a hanging basket

Employers shift to managed care plans from HMOs
- Barbara Pinckney
For the first time, preferred provider organizations, or PPOs, surpassed HMOs as the health plan of choice for local employers.
In a just-completed survey by Benetech Inc., a North Greenbush-based benefits consulting firm, 75 percent of private- and public-sector employers in a 13-county area said they offered PPOs to their workers. That compares to 70 percent whose options included HMOs.
This is a big shift for an area that has been known as an "HMO town." While employers in other parts of the state and country were switching to plans with up-front deductibles and co-insurance, employers here stuck with benefit-rich HMOs.
When Benetech conducted its survey last year, every respondent who provided employee health insurance offered an HMO, and half had a PPO.
The difference this year is the economy. As Wall Street shakes and Main Street shudders, local employers of all types and sizes are taking a closer look at their health plans. PPOs offer greater flexibility than HMOs, and tend to cost less.
This is just one sign of the impact the economy is having on this open enrollment period, when employers purchase coverage for 2009. Insurers say they are being asked for more quotes, on a wider variety of plans, then ever before, and are witnessing more consolidation of large accounts and more dropped coverage.
"Everyone is struggling, and health and drug benefits are consistently top of mind when it comes to employers," said Barry McNamara, president of Benetech. "The carriers are being responsive to what the employers are looking for, but there is only so much they can do."
Cost-benefit analysis
Health insurance is one of the biggest expenses for any business, averaging $8,000 per employee per year and rising. Nationally, businesses renewing for 2009 can expect an average rate increase of 5.7 percent, according to Mercer, a New York City-based benefits consulting firm.
Locally, rate increases will be a bit higher, partially because of the many coverage mandates in New York. Capital District Physicians' Health Plan, the only area insurer to have released its 2009 rates, raised premiums on its community-rated products by 14 percent.
The Benetech survey found that 26 percent of employers plan to cope with the price hikes by asking workers to chip in more. That is down from 60 percent last year. More, however, planned to raise the co-pays and deductibles in their plans. About half said they would take this "cost shifting" approach.
McNamara said that may indicate that employers are hesitant to take more from worker paychecks at this time, but will ask for more when they see a doctor.
"When you shift costs, you are, for lack of a better term, taxing those who use the benefits, instead of taxing everyone," he said.
Moving up front
The willingness to ask more from benefit users is fostering the move from traditional HMOs into plans with greater flexibility and cost shifting options.
But there is only so much cost shifting an employer can do. Once a plan has hit the highest available co-pay structure, which in this market is $30 for an office visit and $50 for a specialist, the only place to go is to a high-deductible plan. Those products, also known as consumer-driven plans, come with an up-front deductible that must be satisfied before coinsurance kicks in. Thirteen percent of Benetech's respondents said they were looking at such a plan, which can cost as much as 15 percent less than an HMO.
"We are seeing a lot of interest in high-deductible plans this year," said Michael Giaquinto, senior vice president of Latham-based BlueShield of Northeastern New York. "Almost every quote includes a high-deductible plan."
Peter Molloy, a partner in Worlco Group, a Queensbury benefits consulting firm, expects that to trend to continue.
"I don't see how we won't get to the point where employers say 'this is what I can afford to buy for you.' " he said.
Many employers turning to high-deductible plans have tried to ease the burden on workers by adding health reimbursement accounts, employer-owned funds that cover some claims. Fifteen percent of Benetech respondents had HRAs, and 56 percent were considering them.
But Molloy said HRAs, too, may fall victim to the economy.
"I wonder if we will get to where they can't do the HRA, and just say 'this is the plan. You have a $1,200 up-front deductible and then a $20 co-pay.' That seems to be the next logical step. Employers are looking for more than that few percent difference."
Carole Montepare, senior vice president of sales for CDPHP, said that is evident in her discussions with clients.
"For the first time, we have to quote several different options for employers," she said. "We have never had this degree of having to put together quotes."
She said she is also seeing large groups consolidate coverage "like we've never seen before." That often means going to national carriers rather than regional plans like CDPHP.
They are not the only ones saying goodbye. Although Benetech's respondents said they were not dropping coverage, Montepare's experience has been different.
"I have been in this business for 20 years, and this is the highest number of voluntary 'disenrollments' I've ever seen," she said. "It is companies going out of business, and people who can no longer afford to offer insurance to their employees. I've seen an uptick just in the last quarter."

The bill has had wide support in the Senate, although the decision to speed it along seemed to make it slightly less popular. Senators voted 63-30 in April to end debate on the bill, less than the 70+ votes it received in earlier votes.
After that, the Senate will vote right away to end debate on a motion to proceed to the Water Resources Development Act. This bill authorizes several federal projects, including flood and storm risk reduction, and other environmental projects.
The House starts earlier, at noon, but will start with speeches and then meet later in the day to work on three suspension bills:
— H.R. 291, the Black Hills Cemetery Act, granting National Forest System land to South Dakota.
— H.R. 588, the Vietnam Veterans Donor Acknowledgment Act, allowing for the recognition of private donors to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund's new Education Center.
— H.R. 507, the Pascua Yaqui Tribe Trust Land Act, conveying land to the Pascua Yaqui Tribe in Arizona.

This obsession with victimhood lies at the heart of why Zionism is dying among America's secular Jewish young. It simply bears no relationship to their lived experience, or what they have seen of Israel's. Yes, Israel faces threats from Hezbollah and Hamas. Yes, Israelis understandably worry about a nuclear Iran. But the dilemmas you face when you possess dozens or hundreds of nuclear weapons, and your adversary, however despicable, may acquire one, are not the dilemmas of the Warsaw Ghetto. The year 2010 is not, as Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed, 1938. The drama of Jewish victimhood—a drama that feels natural to many Jews who lived through 1938, 1948, or even 1967—strikes most of today's young American Jews as farce. –"The Failure of the American Jewish Establishment," Peter Beinart, The New York Review of Books
The undercards were less than thrilling. The HBO announcers did their stand-up intro. The BBC reporters jostled in the back row of the press section. An incredible number of Brits (what with the recession and the volcano and all) were on hand, waving "Khan's Army" banners that sported dual British and Pakistani flags, which you just knew were bound to set off the Long Islanders, sooner or later. (The crowd fights broke out in the sixth round, FYI). The place exploded when Malignaggi made his entrance, blasting what sounded like a mix tape intro complete with a sample of Denzel in Training Day declaring, "King Kong ain't got nothing on me!" We got to hear the dapper announcer Michael Buffer say the words "Brooklyn in the house," as well as "in the blue corner, wearing leopard trunks…" This could only be a Paulie Malignaggi fight. –"Douchebag as Role Model: The Case of Paulie Malignaggi," Hamilton Nolan, The Awl
This sort of fifth-person approach to writing means The Watchtower can read like a textbook rendering of the Bible; big on plague and pestilence but short on the simple, beatific prose that marks its source. Former Witness Kyria Abrahams describes the magazine she read growing up in a Kingdom Hall in Pawtucket, R.I., as "extremely boring." "They were pretty much all on the same theme," she says today. "'Why does God allow blah blah blah?' 'Is blank okay?' And you know that it isn't. For the most part, it was written at a fifth grade level." –"The Most Widely Read Magazine in the World," Joel Meares, The New York Review of Magazines

Housecall for Health: Using Ecstasy to Treat PTSD
A dug associated with dark lights and house techno music may be the way to help patients with post-traumatic stress disorder.
FOX's Colleen Cappon reports in today's "Housecall for Health":
Audio clip:
A South Carolina psychiatrist is testing a controversial treatment for PTSD using the party drug, ecstasy. The assistant professor of neuroscience treats war veterans with MDMA, a pure form of ecstasy, and finds that the drug lessens fear and defensiveness, while helping to establish trust.
The study is approved by the USDA and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, but experts are still unsure the benefits outweigh potential dangers.

In her award-winning book "H Is for Hawk," Helen Macdonald tells the story of training a vicious predator after her father's death.
As donations pour in for victims of Oklahoma's tornadoes, the state attorney general is warning residents to look out for scams and price gouging.
According to Attorney General Scott Pruit, there have already been reports of a hotel and a grocery store overcharging customers. The grocery store is accused of charging customers $40 for a case of water.
Price gouging is illegal in the areas of Oklahoma affected by the tornado, due to a law passed after a tornado hit the same region in 1999.
The Emergency Price Stabilization Act prohibits price increases of more than 10 percent on goods and services for 30 days after a disaster. The rule is in effect for 180 days for prices to repairs, remodeling and construction.
It's currently in effect for 16 Oklahoma counties.

Office Depot Lauded For Support Of Women's BusinessesFriday March 22nd, 2013 - 11:33AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
Women's Business Enterprise National Council has named Office Depot to the 2012 list of America's Top Corporations for Women's Business Enterprises, the retailer announced. The award, Office Depot stated, is the only national recognition honoring corporations for world-class programs that help women's business enterprises compete for corporate business. The current year marks the 11th that has seen Office Depot earn a place on the selective list, the retailer asserted. Office Depot was specifically lauded for its Historically Underutilized Businesses Catalog. The retailer created the first and only annual HUB Catalog for the office supplies industry in 2009, it asserted. The catalog features Office Depot's complete assortment of products sold by HUB vendors and contains over 1,600 products. Office Depot developed the HUB initiative not only to fuel growth in sales, inventory turnover and market expansion for the targeted enterprises included but also to provide a straightforward mechanism to help business customers meet their diversity purchasing goals, the retailer noted. "We are honored to be recognized by WBENC for the dedication Office Depot has demonstrated to supporting the success, growth and advancement of women-owned businesses," said Michael Allison, Office Depot executive vp/human resources. "We are committed to actively conducting business with WBENC-certified women's business enterprises and encourage breaking down barriers and uncovering new growth opportunities for women business owners."
