The gray Montgomery Street Backpack from Acme Made is a lightweight (2.0 lb), viable alternative to more expensive traditional backpacks. Its unique design provides rapid access to your gear leaving you ready to shoot at a moment's notice. Its capacity is rated to hold your CSC (compact system camera) with two extra lenses or a DSLR with one lens. There's also room for your 13" MacBook or Ultrabook in a separate compartment. Two top zippers provide instant access to the laptop compartment or the main storage area. Your photo gear is held within movable dividers to provide you with a comfortable and functional way to store and use your equipment.
The most interesting facet of the Montgomery Backpack is its FlexFold system that allows you to expand or contract the interior to suit your style. Use the top internal soft quilted touch fastened flap to cover your gear or use it to compress the dividers together against one side to increase the overall interior footprint. An additional benefit of this backpack is the zippered side access panel that gives you rapid access to your gear without having to remove the entire pack to retrieve a piece of equipment. You can easily swing the pack over to one shoulder sling style, unzip the side, grab your camera/lens combo, get the shot, zip up the gear inside and move on in backpack style form.
The touch fastened front flap has an accessory pocket underneath with slash pockets for your iPhone, passport, ticket and other small items. The flap itself has a zippered pocket on its underside for even more small accessories. There's even a key ring to make instant entry to your home easier.
The pack is carried by two comfortable backpack straps or a top grab handle for quick access times such as removing the pack from your car or closet. The Montgomery Street Backpack is made with a nylon exterior and cotton blend interior and warranted against manufacturer's defects by Acme Made.

Wisconsin nursing homes fail to report deaths, injuries
Attorneys for families of residents say that facilities' failure to report serious injuries or deaths related to abuse or neglect is not uncommon. Far more often, they say, the state health department only learns about a case of alleged neglect or abuse after a family member files a complaint. Advocates for health care providers stress that incidents of neglect and abuse are extremely rare, and can come to regulators' attention in a variety of ways. Continue Reading

In response to the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism's inquiries into an accident involving a 88-year-old woman at a Milwaukee nursing home, the state Department of Health Services launched an internal review, which concluded that state officials did not properly respond. As a result, the department says it has reviewed its intake procedures and made changes to ensure that complaints against nursing homes are triaged appropriately and investigated in a timely fashion.

A new Wisconsin law, which went into effect in February 2011, bars families from using state health investigation records in state civil suits filed against long-term providers, including nursing homes and hospices. It also makes such records inadmissible in criminal cases against health care providers accused of neglecting or abusing patients. Continue Reading

Since 2003, 52 Wisconsin county jail inmates have taken their own lives. Department of Corrections jail inspector Nancy Thelen said that generally, Wisconsin's 72 county-run jails are doing "a very good job with their suicide watches."
But a Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism review of the counties' most recent jail inspection records found that at least one-third of them had, like Monroe County, been cited for problems with their suicide prevention efforts. Continue Reading

Key findings:

• The state Department of Corrections is charged with oversight but does not evaluate the quality of jails' mental health care.
• For nearly a quarter-century, the Legislature has required the DOC to collect and summarize annual reports on jails' mental health care, but most jails have not provided the information, and the DOC acknowledges it has not been asking for them.
• One-third of Wisconsin's jails have been cited for inadequate suicide prevention efforts. Continue Reading

He apologized — although he knew his words could be used against him in court. Now a Republican lawmaker, Severson has introduced a bill to let doctors do just that without fearing malpractice.

Humanscale's ZŌN Named One of 100 Best New Home Products of 2011 by This Old House
Groundbreaking Air Purifier Listed as Product "With Real Value"
Karen Brooking
NEW YORK, October 31, 2011 — The November/December issue of This Old House features Humanscale's ZŌN personal air purifier in the Home Tech category of the "TOH Top 100," a list of the 100 best new home products of the year. The editors hunted extensively for the most unique, helpful, and current home products in seven categories: Kitchen, Bath, Tools, Building Products, Outdoor Living, Home Tech, and Finishing Touches. The 2011 list marks the first annual TOH Top 100 and includes items for people who love old houses and appreciate new and interesting ways to enhance them. "This isn't just a list of new products—they're products with real value," says Scott Omelianuk, Editor of This Old House.
This Old House Ventures Inc. is America's premier home enthusiast brand, netting 50 million multi-media impressions each month through its award-winning television, print, and web properties. The leading consumer publication for home how-to and inspiration, the award-winning This Old House magazine has a circulation of 950,000 and reaches an audience of almost six million.
A much-needed solution for improving indoor air quality, Humanscale's ZŌN personal air purifier does what no other air purifier can do: target the user's breathing zone with the delivery of purified air, while boasting near-silent, breeze-free and ozone-free operation. Using this targeted approach to air purification, ZŌN filters out more than 99% of airborne contaminants of all sizes. According to research conducted by University of Minnesota, this type of targeted air purification is far more effective than the whole room purification attempted by most traditional air purifiers. Recent studies have also proven this directly—results from a test done through Air Quality Sciences showed that a leading brand room air purifier left three times more airborne contaminants of 0.1 microns in the breathing zone than Humanscale's smaller, targeted air purifier.
The Energy Star certified ZŌN consumes just 23 watts of power and is also the only air purifier to offer recyclable filters. ZŌN's tightly coiled, vacuumable, high-efficiency particulate filter also offers far more surface area than other air purifying technologies, allowing it to more easily capture the smallest airborne contaminants. With ZŌN, people can breathe ultra-clean air wherever they spend large portions of their time—such as working on their computer, watching television or asleep in bed.
A complete list of the TOH Top 100 can be found at www.ThisOldHouse.com/top100 and on newsstands, beginning November 4.

And not a moment too soon.

Republican political professionals are telling Texas Governor Rick Perry to get out of the presidential race before his political career is damaged beyond repair, Capitol Hill Blue has learned.
"He's done. His fifteen minutes are over," says GOP political operative Cass Dawson. "When you start finishing behind Ron Paul in the polls it's time to get out."
Hampered by increased scrutiny and poor debate performances, Perry's fall from front-runner to also-ran is slated to become discussion topics for political science classes. Political professionals polled by Capitol Hill Blue rank Perry with other GOP also-rans like Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann.
"What happened in Texas should have stayed in Texas," said Republican activist Susan Hildebrand. "Mr. Perry just wasn't ready for prime time."
Political pros say Perry is now too damaged to recover and can only salvage what's left of his political career by withdrawing graciously before he drops all the way down to the bottom rung of Presidential pretenders.
"It's time for Perry to take his roadshow back to Texas," says one GOP insider who asked not to be identified. "He's old news."
And not a moment too soon.
Glad to hear Perry's campaign is DOA. He won't be missed. I feel sorry that Texans have to suffer his entrenched presence.
What we need for a President and "Commander in Chief" of our armed forces is man with the cajones of a Harry S. Truman.
Upon his inauguration, the first thing on this president's agenda would be to hold a NSC meeting and to instruct them we're pulling out of Iraq and Afghanistan along with military 'aid' to Pakistan and so too our support of the Libyan debacle. The only forces left will be regional SOCOM bases with enough personnel to surgically strike destabilizing forces within these regions. They will be surveilled by satellite, SIGINT intercepts and if necessary sanctioned by predator drones, guided munitions and Tomahawk cruise missiles if the need be along with surgical SOCOM insertions on occasion with us exiting upon completion of a given mission. They'll never know what hit them. We own the night, so there's no place for terrorist rats or insurgents to hide deep enough even within their bunker holes as demonstrated with Saddam's command and control bunker. We'll no longer have a huge contingent of tax-draining grunts and tankheads milling about in the deserts and mountains, but just the same the bad guys will sense that Thor's Hammer is always poised to strike if necessary. With this type of military posture for these regions we can save trillions, but still assert our authority if necessary.
If there are any council protests concerning this decision then they'll simply be given a choice; I.E., follow orders or be retired or fired prematurely no differently than when Truman pulled the plug on the supremely arrogant, out of control General Douglas MacArthur and his plans to escalate the Korean Police Action of the early 50's with talk of using nukes on the Chinese etc.
Our now corrupt and compromised General Staff along with the MIC's in place civilian cronies that sit on the NSC (National Security Council) haven't been jerked up by the shorthairs in years and it's long overdue in the interest of saving this nation from terminal insolvency.
The afore outlined action is one of the few, summary actions that a President can take without the approval of our now devolved, Congressional 'politburo'.
The money saved on these ongoing engineered conflicts can be put to use rebuilding America's infrastructure; I.E., roads, bridges, water and waste systems and the electrical grid along with many others not enumerated here. America is crumbling before our eyes while madmen and women scheme evermore involvement with their obviously failed globalist schemes.
I suspect Ron Paul, if elected would be that man. It's one of the few actions that he could take as "Commander in Chief" with many of other ideas meeting fierce resistance from his own party as well as the Democrats. This suggested curtailment of operating as world policeman on a grand, money-wasting scale alone would save our nation from a grim future. At this point our national motto should be: "We got guns…but no money"…no? / : |
Carl Nemo **==
The corporate media played up Perry as a front runner. I don't think he was ever actually that popular. Now the media has to backtrack or look totally stupid and irrelevant, or more irrelevant than they already appear.
This is also what happened with Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin. The corporate owned and controlled media loves their dim-witted bimbos much more than Americans do.
The same thing is occurring with Herman Cain. Most people I speak with don't even know who he is, much less think he would be the right person for President. He is the corporate media flavor of the month. So long as they don't have to mention Occupy Wall Street, Ron Paul and the issues they bring to the table, the corporate media is pretty happy.
The types who populate the corporate media are more narcissistic than zero.
Big goal? Name in bright lights and big print. See!!! I'm a talking head…
… and dumb as a rock.

When he arrived in Brooklyn, New York in 2012, Brandon Nimmo was surrounded by a whirlwind of press.
Most of the attention on the Mets 2011 first round pick focused on how he'd come from a high school without a baseball program. How had he developed into such a highly regarded, valuable player without that experience? The selection was seen as a risk, though most high school picks are. But this was different. There were questions about how he'd handle the pressure physically and mentally.
For those watching and talking to him daily in the New York Penn League that year, the answer was clear. He had a strong sense of himself, that had surely fostered a solid work ethic. He wasn't easily distracted. And in the face of anything the season brought, he remained even-keeled. In 69 games for the Class-A (short-season)Brooklyn Cyclones, followed by 110 games in 2013 with the High-A Savannah Sand Gnats, he was steadfast in his approach.
"I believe everything happens for a reason. There's been small trials. But I keep things in perspective, because at the end of my career, I don't want to have any regrets," he said Sunday. "Baseball is my job and it doesn't get any better than that. You have to be able to see the big picture."
He mentioned an experience with the Cyclones that keeps him centered, even now. A seven year old boy, who'd been diagnosed with cancer, had been invited to spend some time with the team. The moments spent with the boy, impressed upon Nimmo that his grateful attitude toward life and baseball was the only one to have.
"He got to hit a little, and we played catch. So that helps you see that you have no reason to complain. God has blessed me so much."
Having received a big league, he arrived in St. Lucie, Florida earlier this week. It was a continuation of a highly focused off-season, in which he'd worked with the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, a facility that allows players to go beyond the weight room.
"I got to field and hit more. I saw a lot more fly balls. Everything is just a lot more baseball oriented. They also oversaw all our meals and I worked with a nutritionist. All meals are made for you there. There was also vision testing, so you're making sure you have optimum vision. It's the complete package. I'm definitely faster than ever. It was just a very productive experience."
Nimmo, 19, also put on about ten pounds, up from his playing weight of 195. He actually began to see an improvement in movement and timing while with Savannah.
"I got better in the outfield, especially with the first step. I got to more balls faster. Hitting-wise, I had to learn a lot playing a tough pitcher's park. I was learning to hit more line drives, and just hit balls harder. Beyond that, I was learning how to distinguish between pain and injury, and how to play a hundred plus games. At the end of that season, I was a better player than at the beginning. And that's the point."
The Sand Gnats finished 2013 South Atlantic League champions with a 77-61 record. Nimmo did his part, finishing 108 hits, 62 runs scored, 71 walks, and a .359 SLG. He admits there were challenges, and that he needed the support that surrounded him.
"My manager Willie Rojas was instrumental in a lot of my games. He is just an amazing man. Frank Viola, even though he was the pitching coach, he had so much wisdom to pass down. Joel Fuentes went through a lot of ups and downs with me. [Outfield Coordinator] Jack Boyd impacted me immensely. I got better as an outfielder, and can attribute a lot of that to working with him."
But he also reaches back to his time spent with the men on the Cyclones staff, guys known for their strong personalities.
"[Cyclones manager] Rich Donnelly had a great impact on me. Not just with the tools, but mentally. [Hitting coach] Bobby [Malek] helped me going through my first struggles."
What has kept Nimmo's focus so strong, he insists, is a mix of their guidance, as well as the guidance he's always turned to.
"I have a relationship with Jesus Christ. That helps in my morals, but also in keeping things even. It's about having fun, but also living in the now and having no regrets."
He says he has no concerns about where he's assigned out of camp. He continues to achieve the art of keeping it simple.
"All I do is try to put my best effort in everyday. If I do that I can live myself, whatever the results, success or failure. I ask myself at the end of the day, 'Did I give it my best effort?' 'Did I do the preparation?' My only goal is to be a major league baseball player, so anything that would hinder that, I want no part of."
MLB.com ranked him the #4 prospect in the Mets system heading into 2013. He was selected to the 2013 SAL All-Star team. You can follow Brandon Nimmo on Twitter @You_Found_Nimmo

Radical Collaboration at TEDx

Senate Committee Passes Stop TB Now Act
On September 11, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, chaired by Sen. Biden (D-DE), unanimously passed the global tuberculosis (TB) authorization bill, the Stop TB Now Act, S. 968, without amendments. After hearing brief remarks from the bill's sponsor, Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA), the committee passed the bill by voice vote.
The Stop TB Now Act, sponsored by Sens. Boxer (D-CA) and Smith (R-OR), reauthorizes the United States Agency for International Development's (USAID) global TB program, commits the US to the World Health Organization (WHO) goals of reducing the global TB deaths and disease burden, and authorizes $330 million in funding for USAID's global TB program in 2009 and $450 million in 2010, plus $70 million for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) global TB activities. The Foreign Relations Committee's passage of the bill is further good news for global TB control. Last week, the full Senate approved an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2008 State Department and Foreign Operations Appropriations bill that increases funding for global TB control at USAID to $200 million for 2008.
The House Foreign Affairs Committee passed the House bill, H.R. 1567, in July. The next step for the Stop TB Now Act is a floor vote in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. In order for the bills to be scheduled for votes before Congress adjourns in November, they must gain more bipartisan support in the House and Senate. ATS members and friends are asked to contact their House Representative and two Senators to request their cosponsorship of the bills.
How to Take Action
Call the Capitol Switchboard at 1-202-224-3121 and ask for your Representative or Senator or zipcode if you do not know their name. When you are connected to an office, ask for the Foreign Affairs Legislative Assistant. If you leave a voicemail message, include your name and phone number so that they can call you back. The following is a sample phone message: "I am a constituent and a healthcare provider from (your town) and I am calling to ask Rep/Sen. ___ to strengthen global tuberculosis control efforts and prevent outbreaks of drug-resistant TB by cosponsoring the Stop TB Now Act, S.968/H.R.1567."
Click on the following link to e-mail your members of Congress: http://www.thoracic.org/sections/about-ats/advocacy/take-action-now.html
Domestic TB Bill to be Considered by Senate Committee in October
The domestic TB bill, the Comprehensive TB Elimination Act, S. 1551, sponsored by Sens. Brown (D-OH) and Hutchison (R-TX), will be considered by the Senate Health Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, chaired by Sen. Kennedy (D-MA), in October. The bill increases resources and funding for CDC's TB control activities, including state TB control programs, and expands research into TB diagnostics, drugs and vaccines. Action has not yet been scheduled on the House version of the bill, H.R. 1532, sponsored by Reps. Green (D-TX) and Wilson (R-NM). The ATS Washington Office will keep members informed of when their action is needed to support domestic TB control legislation.
President's Panel on Cancer Call for FDA Authority to Regulate Tobacco
This summer, the President's Panel on Cancer called for the nation to demonstrate the "political will" to take steps to reduce cancer rates in the U.S. Key among the panel's recommendations were:
- Authorize the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to regulate tobacco product contents and tobacco product advertising.
- Accept the rapid reduction and eventual elimination of tobacco use and environmental tobacco smoke exposure as a moral obligation and not export the problem to developing nations.
- Coordinate U.S. agricultural subsidy and public health policy related to diet and nutrition to improve the food supply and help ensure that all people have access to affordable, healthy food.
- Unmask and resist the tactics of disease vectors (the tobacco, food, and beverage industries) that are at the core of so much of the cancer and other chronic diseases that are sickening and killing Americans by the hundreds of thousands each year.
- Fund tobacco control efforts at least at minimum CDC-recommended levels in each state.
- Immediately ratify the Framework Convention for Tobacco Control.
The Presidents Cancer Panel is comprised of 3 panelists appointed by President Bush, including the famous cyclist and cancer survivor Lance Armstrong. What make's the report particularly noteworthy is that many of the panel's recommendations are opposed by President Bush - particularly giving FDA authority to regulate tobacco.
Senate Provides $500 Million for VA Research
Last week the Senate passed the FY08 VA Appropriations bill which provided $500 million for the VA research program, an increase of $86 million over current year funding and an $89 million increase over the President's recommendation. The House earlier this year passed its version of the VA Appropriations bill which provided $480 million for VA research, an increase of $66 million.
A conference committee will shortly be convened to resolve the different funding levels in the House and Senate bills. The ATS will advocate for the higher funding number in the Senate bill.
The ATS, in its role on the Friends of VA Health Care and Research Coalition (FOVA) executive committee, has played a lead role in the research community advocating for increases in the VA research program.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation
House Bill Gains Cosponsors
Legislation to create a national coverage policy for pulmonary rehabilitation under Medicare continues to add cosponsors. The House bill H.R. 552, introduced by Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) and Rep. Chip Pickering (R-MS) now has 136 cosponsors. The two most recent cosponsors are Rep. Louise Slaughter- McIntosh (D-NY) and Rep. Sanford Bishop (D-GA). The Senate bill S. 329 has 33 cosponsors.

Also, Regine wanted me to take her new puppy and mail it to her because she was going somewhere that she couldn't take her dog, and Win was totally drunk.

Anthem College and What it Offers
I am always interested in new advances in the education field, thus I try to keep up to date with colleges that offer interesting and convenient programs and courses. Recently I came across Anthem College and found some of its programs fascinating. For instance, the surgical tech program offers students a chance to get into the medical field and have hands on experience without going through the many years required for a medical degree. In this program students get placed in externships to get further experience in the field before graduating.
Further, Anthem College offers a variety of online courses as well as complete programs. This is a very convenient option for students who are unable to attend courses on campus, such as those who are in the military, or single parents. As someone who has completed an entire degree online I know how amazing it is to have the option to take some or all courses online. Not only does one save on the commute, lunch and many other expenses included when going to a traditional college, but it makes finishing a degree possible if one has many responsibilities that prevent them from attending a tradition campus.
If you do consider taking courses online or getting your degree online with this university, don't forget to look at financial aid options available. You qualify for grants and loans just as you would if you were taking courses on campus.
Overall, I found Anthem College to have many options and it serves a large and diverse population.

DHS News August 2013
The Holiday Project Starts a New Season with a Generous Donation
The Holiday Project has benefited from a generous gift of more than 1,000 books that will be distributed during this year's Holiday Project Workshop, November 18 through December 11.
The books come from Elizabeth's Book Drive, a Texas-based nonprofit founded by Marianne and Lance Matthes of Wylie, Texas. The couple lost a daughter, Elizabeth Luke Matthes, in 2012. They started the book drive in her honor. Lance Matthes' parents, James and Ramona Matthes, live in Sarver, Butler County.
Marianne Matthes said her father-in-law found the Holiday Project when phoning around to find places that may need the books. She said her charity collected over 10,000 books, boosted in part by a Facebook page she set up.
Brendan Hanschen, coordinator for the Office of Community Relations Event and Donations Team, which organizes the Holiday Project, said there were so many books donated to DHS, "I almost broke a dolly getting them in here."
The array of books is helpful to the Holiday Project. They range from those for infants, to titles appropriate for young adults. While some groups only want childrens' books, the Holiday Project can use a broad variety. "I think that was part of the reason the charity liked us," Brendan said.
The Holiday Project provides a holiday gift to children of families receiving services through the DHS Office of Children,Youth and Families. Besides linking sponsors to children, Holiday Project organizers hold the Holiday Project Workshop each year so that children who do not have direct sponsorship can receive something from donated items.
The books will be added to those donated items, said Brendan, expressing gratitude for them.
More information on the Holiday Project, including how to help, can be found on the Holiday Project webpage.

Gambling, Tom Jones and free drinks, how could Las Vegas not be fun? If hedonism is your middle name, first ask your parents why, then book a trip to Nevada's most famous city.
Our top tip - escape the strip with a Grand Canyon Aerial Sightseeing Tour
For more ideas on what to do on your Las Vegas trip, check out our blog posts.
Las Vegas is the drag queen of cities - bright, brash and flamboyant. Shy and retiring it certainly isn't, so avoiding the crowds altogether would defeat the point of a Las Vegas holiday. But if your luck starts to run out on the Black Jack table there's plenty of desert to escape into. Marvel, for example, at the oddly shaped Joshua Trees in the eponymous national park. You may be inspired to pen a song or two, just like Bono.
The Crown And Anchor British Pub, near the university, is idiosyncratic and out of the way enough to discourage tourists on Las Vegas city break. The menu includes a battered fish sandwich, banger and mash, scotch egg and full roast dinner with all manner of British beers as accompaniment.
The Peppermill is right on the Las Vegas boulevard, but still attracts the locals into the chaos - recommendation enough. This 1970s style diner with appropriately garish décor has an unpretentious, all-American menu ranging from a straight-up hot pastrami sandwich to the more pricey range of flame-broiled steaks. On the dessert menu there's the 'Elegant Brownie' - an oxymoron perhaps, but a tasty one.
The pick-me-up: The Mirage Casino's Secret Garden is a sweet place to relax between bets. There's an indoor rainforest, dolphins and the fabulous volcano.
The breakfast: Eat breakfast early, between midnight and 7am to be precise, and it's cheaper than chips at the Sourdough Café in Arizona Charlie's Decatur Casino and Hotel. Many of the casinos offer breakfast on their 'graveyard menus' and with no night or day in Vegas it doesn't feel as odd as you'd expect.
The middle-of-the-night toasted sandwich: Most of the casinos will have in-house 24-hour restaurants providing a steady stream of grilled cheese sandwiches. But the Ellis Island Casino menu is the best of the bunch.
The flicks: Drive-in movie theatres are fast disappearing in the US, so take in a film at the West Wind Las Vegas 5 Drive-In and support this American cultural classic.
The shops : At the Las Vegas Outlet Centre you can pick up designer bargains without leaving the Vegas behind - there are hourly laser shows too.
The water: The Bellagio's dancing fountains show is an requisite on any Las Vegas holiday.
The trip: Take an excursion to the Red Rock Canyon to walk off all that surf and turf in some astonishing surroundings.
The view: The Stratosphere Hotel's Top Of The World restaurant provides an awesome view of the city's place in the vast desert.
The museum: The Neon Museum displays shiny signs recording the city's colourful past, from the 1940s to the present day.
The club: The Double Down Saloon on Paradise Road describes itself as anti-Vegas but rumour has it a Hollywood crowd hang out here. Try the bacon-infused vodka martinis.
Siegfried and Roy's Royal White Tigers at the Mirage will get their own back one of these days.
Gamblers get 'free' drinks in Las Vegas, so take your pick. But it is kind of the law that there's a paper umbrella in there somewhere.
Don't try any dirty tricks at the tables, keep your hands off unless you're gambling and don't case the slot machines.
Travel in Las Vegas generally involves walking up and down the strip, so no.
You might find yourself married. Las Vegas law makes it terribly easy.
It's in the desert, so not unless you're getting friendly with Bellagio's fountains.
'All you can eat' is not a challenge. But Nathan's food stand at New York New York holds a hotdog eating contest every year.
Yes, but it's not free like the cocktails.

Dr. Conrad Murray has dumped 30 pounds because he"s pooping out his guts, and he blames the water at L.A. County Jail.
We"re told Murray has been extremely sick since becoming an inmate last November. He claims the water smells and tastes bad, and believes it has given him a horrible case of dysentery. Murray says the bad water, along with a bad diet, is ruining his health.
Murray says he can"t eat jail food, and is forced to eat what he calls "cat food" which he buys at the commissary .
Murray buys canned tuna for $4.25 a pop, salmon flakes for $3.50 and canned mackerel for $2.50. Murray is telling friends that aside from cats, he"s the only human being forced to eat canned mackerel.
We"re told Murray is filing multiple appeals to get out of jail, primarily because his health is compromised.
L.A. County Sheriff"s spokesman Steve Whitmore tells our sources, "All inmates receive the proper nutrition and medical care that is required by law, but the Sheriff"s Dept. goes above and beyond what is required."
We don"t know how the appellate judges feel about explosive diarrhea, but one thing we know for sure … jail is a really sh**ty experience.

Tacos, Lightened Up
by Dana Angelo White in Healthy Recipes, April 30, 2012Fried shells, fatty meats and piles of high-cal toppings can make tacos a belly buster. But they don't have to be; use our tips to give a healthier spin to this Cinco de Mayo favorite.
Nutrition Facts
Whether it's fast food or home cooking, the calories and fat in tacos can get crazy. Greasy cuts of meat and many of the classic fixings like cheese, sour cream and guacamole are high in fat. Home taco kits also come equipped with sodium-filled taco seasoning packets. A super stuffed taco could easily top 500 calories – and who eats just one?!
Lighter, Fresher
The fresher, the better! Use these tips to make tacos that are scrumptious and healthy.
- Swap nonfat Greek yogurt for sour cream.
- Keep the guac! Use about one tablespoon per taco for a dose of healthy fat.

Dana, I love the idea of lightening up tacos, and making creative and tasty substitutions is the way to go. A nice piece of marinated, crispy Tilapia is a great filling, and subbing out the tortilla for a fresh corn relish is a tasty alternative. Here's a delicious and healthy recipe to try: http://thecozyapron.com/category/entrees/deliciou…

Ultra Music Festival 2014's Ten Best DJs
Los Angeles' Oliver may not always put forth the most progressive beats. But this duo tends to remember something a lot of other acts forget: that dance music should be fun! These days, it seems as though every DJ wants to either phone it in or completely destroy the sound equipment. Yet Oliver keeps its melodies squarely on the nu-disco and electro tip -- and we'd like to wholeheartedly thank them for that dedication to enjoying playful party music, letting go, and just enjoying the company around you.
Pete Tong
Very few people in the electronic dance music industry possess the sort of wide-ranging influence that Pete Tong enjoys. As the host of BBC Radio 1's Essential Mix and Essential Selection, he's been dictating the course of popular dance for over two decades. Naturally, he's expanded his brand stateside with an iHeartRadio partnership that includes the EDM channel Evolution and a two-hour program, All Gone Pete Tong. Today's EDM acts owe a lot of gratitude to Tong, because without his support, who knows if dance music would've risen so high, so fast in these past few years.

Jodi Jacobson, the Chief Editor of RH Reality Check, has more. Unfortunately, I am not gonna be able to trim this, as there are just too many important items to try to edit this wonderful piece from Mrs. Jacobson.
Last month, a woman was admitted to a hospital in Galway, Ireland. She was 17 weeks pregnant with a wanted child. She was experiencing severe back pain. She was found to be miscarrying the pregnancy.Within days, she was dead.Why? Because she ended up in a Catholic hospital, governed by an ethic that even a non-viable fetus doomed to die is more important than a living, breathing 31-year-old woman.It really is that simple.IrishTimes.com reports that Savita Halappanavar, a dentist, arrived at the hospital on October 21st. According to the story:Her husband, Praveen Halappanavar (34), an engineer at Boston Scientific in Galway, says she asked several times over a three-day period that the pregnancy be terminated. He says that, having been told she was miscarrying, and after one day in severe pain, Ms Halappanavar asked for a medical termination.This was refused, he says, because the foetal heartbeat was still present and they were told, "this is a Catholic country."Indeed.So, the story continues, "She spent a further 2½ days "in agony" until the foetal heartbeat stopped.According to IrishTimes.com, Mr Halappanavar, speaking from Belgaum in the state of Karnataka, India, said an internal examination was performed when she first presented."The doctor told us the cervix was fully dilated, amniotic fluid was leaking and unfortunately the baby wouldn't survive." The doctor, he says, said it should be over in a few hours. There followed three days, he says, of the foetal heartbeat being checked several times a day."Savita was really in agony. She was very upset, but she accepted she was losing the baby. When the consultant came on the ward rounds on Monday morning Savita asked if they could not save the baby could they induce to end the pregnancy. The consultant said, 'As long as there is a foetal heartbeat we can't do anything'."Again on Tuesday morning, the ward rounds and the same discussion. The consultant said it was the law, that this is a Catholic country. Savita [a Hindu] said: 'I am neither Irish nor Catholic' but they said there was nothing they could do."That evening she developed shakes and shivering and she was vomiting. She went to use the toilet and she collapsed. There were big alarms and a doctor took bloods and started her on antibiotics."The next morning I said she was so sick and asked again that they just end it, but they said they couldn't."The report goes on: "The dead foetus was removed and Savita was taken to the high dependency unit and then the intensive care unit, where she died of septicaemia on the 28th.An autopsy carried out by Dr Grace Callagy two days later found she died of septicaemia "documented ante-mortem" and E.coli ESBL."Someone's daughter, wife, friend, perhaps sister is now dead. Why? Because a non-viable fetus was more important than her life. Because she was left to suffer for days on end in service of an ideological stance and religion she did not share. Because a wanted pregnancy went horribly wrong, and, because as must now be clear, there are people who don't care about the lives of women. And there are others so invested in their uninformed misogynistic ideology that they claim there are no situations in which a woman's life might be endangered by pregnancy. Like, say, the recently defeated Congressman Joe Walsh.This case happened in Ireland. But it is not isolated. Just this past summer, a teen in the Dominican Republic died because she was denied chemotherapy for cancer. Countless others die every day, but without press coverage we just don't see or hear about them. As Ipas notes, Women in El Salvador and Mexico have been put in jail for both abortions and "suspicious" miscarriages. Young girls in Argentina and Brazil, victims of violence and incest, have been denied safe abortion care. A total abortion ban in Nicaragua means that not only do women die for lack of safe abortion care, but that untold numbers of women and girls who are the victims of violence are forced to endure pregnancy and childbearning against their will.And if they have their way, anti-choice fanatics in the United States want this country to join these others in denying women their very personhood. There is H.R. 3, the Let Women Die Act, passed in the last Congress by the rabidly anti-woman House majority. There is the "Sanctity Of Human Life [As Long As You Are Not Female] Act," so strongly supported by recent Vice Presidential candidate and current congressman, Paul Ryan (R-WI). There are heartbeat bans, and bans on medication abortion, laws that force doctors to lie to women, and laws that force women to undergo unnecessary trans-vaginal and abdominal ultrasounds. There are attacks on Planned Parenthood and Title X, past and future. And in addition to the terrorism and accosting of women in evidence wherever safe abortion care is provided, there is harassment at clinics that do not even provide abortions.These are the lives of your sister, your mother, your daughter, your aunt, your friends, and your colleagues. These are the lives at stake. These are the very people that the fanatical anti-choice and religious right see as "not people."They are all Savita Halappanavar.We are all Savita Halappanavar.But we do not have to die at the hands of misogynists.In honor of Savita Halappanavar; in honor of the nearly 22 million women worldwide each year who endure unsafe aborton; in honor of the 47,000 women per year worldwide who die from complications of unsafe abortion and the estimated 10 times that number who suffer long-term health consequences; in honor of the millions of women who do not have access to contraception, who have no control over whether and with whom they have sex or and whether or with whom they have children, we can fight back. In honor of the young girls married young and the women forced to bear children long past the point they are able to care for more... for all these women, we must continue to act, to liberalize abortion laws, ensure every woman has access, remove the stigma, and trust women, like Savita, who know when it is time to end even the most wanted pregnancy.Because she deserved to live. We deserve to live. We are people.
Emphasis mine, ALL in bold.
What Mrs. Jacobson explains in this piece is the textbook example of the War On Women that is currently being waged by misogynists all over the world - and especially in the United States. War on Women is a phrase that I started using in late 2007 to describe what has been taking place primarily in the United States, but also in other parts of the world.
What happened to Mrs. Halappanavar was so inexcusable, there is only one conclusion to what happened. Mrs. Halappanavar was murdered. She was murdered by the hospital. She was murdered by the doctors. She was murdered by the Irish government. She was murdered by pro-life activists, such as Life Institute. And she was murdered by the Catholic Church or Ireland.
The hospital, doctors, government, Life Institute and the Catholic Church of Ireland all have Mrs. Halappanavar's blood on their hands. They must all be prosecuted for murder and for crass violations of basic human rights. Ireland is officially just like the Dominican Republic and the radical Islamic Middle East - misogynists who endorse the killing of women.
UPDATE @ 15:30: I am adding links from other blogs to this story as they appear.
