Activist: State needs felony for worst cruelty instances.
Continue Reading
My name is Shari Kosel. I live in Lead, South Dakota. I am on the task force, South Dakotans Fighting Animal Cruelty Together.
I am a life-long resident of South Dakota. My husband and I own a business in South Dakota. We own land and a home in South Dakota. We are South Dakotans.
SB 171 is not about outside agencies. This is the truth. Those that speak that this is influenced by outside agencies are speaking lies.
On numerous occasions we have asked the Ag sector to sit down with us and listen to our stance. Not one of them have answered our calls/letters/comments. I have been pursuing this for over five years after my neighbor's dog was killed and I found out the crime was the same penalty as getting a speeding ticket. A Class 1 Misdemeanor.
Mr. Krantz, TALK TO US! We all live here, we have nothing to do with HSUS, we are concerned South Dakotans that believe beating a dog to death with a hammer, setting a cat on fire, cutting a dogs ears off with a steak knife are all malicious acts of animal cruelty and have nothing to do with Agriculture and their practices.
These horrific crimes deserve felony penalties.
Mr. Krantz, I invite you over for coffee to sit and discuss so you better understand our plight before making rash comments and statements about a group that doesn't exist.

I volunteer my time and resources transporting rescue animals throughout South Dakota. Many of these animals have been horribly mistreated. Some have been stomped or pummeled to the brink of death. Some have had acid poured on them or have been set on fire. A couple years ago, 2 miniature horses where shot & killed for fun.
South Dakota needs SB171-"An act to establish the crime of aggravated cruelty to dogs, cats, and horses and to provide certain criminal and civil penalties therefore."
I hunt and fish. I'm not a 'tree hugger' or activist. I'm not a member of PETA or HSUS or ASPCA, nor do I support these groups. I believe if any life is to be taken; it should be done quickly & mercifully, as do all ethical sportsmen. This bill will not affect my right to hunt or fish.
The passage of this bill may very well save human lives in the future:
*The FBI considers past animal abuse when profiling serial killers. According to Robert K. Ressler, who developed profiles of serial killers for the FBI, "Murderers…very often start out by killing and torturing animals as kids." FBI criminal profiler, John Douglas, writes in The Mind Hunter that serial offenders' earliest acts of violence are often the torture and/or killing of pets or wildlife, then brutalizing younger siblings, and then finally engaging in domestic violence or street crime. Mass murderers Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Albert DeSalvo, and others committed heinous acts of animal cruelty before brutally killing their human victims. *(http://www.incasa.org/PDF/2011/animal_human_violence.pdf)
I believe the phrase "maliciously and intentionally" is key to SB171. I often hike in the Black Hills with my dog. If he was terribly injured and far from veterinary help, I would not hesitate to shoot him to prevent his suffering. My act would not be malicious, but rather an act of compassion. SB171 is meant to protect our companion animals, not to persecute owner, nor to impinge upon agricultural concerns in South Dakota.

My name is Katy Stulc. I was born and raised in Mitchell, SD. After I graduated high school I moved to Sioux Falls to attend SETI. I graduated from SETI and moved to Rapid City, SD. I have lived in SD my whole life. I have attended the circus many times and I love going to the rodeo. Last week was the stock show in Rapid City and I attended many of their events. I am not a hunter, but I have close family members and friends who are and I look forward every year to getting my deer salami, pheasants and fish from them. And, I love a great steak! I love the fact that SD is a small, close knit state with agriculture and ranching. I would not support any legislation that would jeopardize that. I support SB171.
SB171 will not shut down circuses, rodeos, ranching, hunting, etc. SB171 has NOTHING to do with any of those topics. It simply allows law enforcement the necessary tools to prosecute the most horrible acts of abuse towards COMPANION animals. It has been proven time and time again that individuals who abuse animals, abuse humans. Not only will SB171 protect our pets, but could possibly take a violent offender off the streets before they harm or even kill a person.
All I am asking is for you to please take the time to read SB171 before jumping to any conclusions.
FOR AN ACT ENTITLED, An Act to establish the crime of aggravated cruelty to dogs, cats, and horses and to provide certain criminal and civil penalties therefor.
Section 1. That chapter 40-1 be amended by adding thereto a NEW SECTION to read as follows:
No person may maliciously and intentionally cause the mistreatment, torture, or cruelty of any dog, cat, or horse resulting in serious injury, serious illness, or the death of the dog, cat, or horse. A violation of this section is a Class 6 felony. No person may own or possess a dog, cat, or horse for five years after the date of the sentencing.
Section 2. That chapter 40-1 be amended by adding thereto a NEW SECTION to read as follows:
For the purposes of section 1 of this Act, the term, serious injury, means any injury that creates a substantial risk of death, leaves a dog, cat, or horse significantly disfigured, causes broken bones, or causes prolonged impairment of health. The term, serious illness, means any illness or starvation that creates a substantial risk of death, leaves a dog, cat, or horsesignificantly disfigured, or causes prolonged impairment of health. The term, torture, includes burning, poisoning, crushing, suffocating, impaling, drowning, blinding, skinning, fatal beating, fatal dragging, fatal exsanguination, disemboweling, or dismemberment of a dog, cat, or horse.
Section 3. That chapter 40-1 be amended by adding thereto a NEW SECTION to read as follows:
The provisions of section 2 of this Act may not be construed to prohibit:
(1) Hunting, trapping, fishing, or any other activity regulated under Title 41;

Cats cemented, dogs beaten to death with a hammer, or horses starved. These are just a few news headlines, we are South Dakotans have had to read. Stories like this can really make anyone sick to their stomach. I was born and raised in this great state I call home, and am quite ashamed and astonished that we do not have laws protecting our companion animals: dogs, cats, and horses. It truly makes me sick to think someone could maliciously torture my dog and simply get a fine. There needs to be laws to protect our companion animals . We are not talking about anything else besides protecting the animals that are a part of our families. Who wants these people committing these heinous crimes not being held accountable or for that matter seeking counseling? These are the people who end up eventually committing crimes to other people, not just animals.
As a South Dakota animal advocate, I wish to correct Mr. Krantz. South Dakota elected officials are not "taking a stand against any more animal rights legislations." The resolution he mentions (HCR 1001) that passed both chambers unanimously this session was in support of South Dakota's number one industry, agriculture – it was not a resolution demonstrating disapproval of South Dakota animal advocates efforts to improve state laws.
You can read the resolution here: http://legis.state.sd.us/sessions/2013/Bill.aspx?File=HCR1001ENR.htm I am proud my Senator, Stan Adelstein, is the prime sponsor of SB 171. The bill is well-written and specifically addresses malicious and intentional acts of cruelty against dogs, cats and horses. Animal lovers, hunters and ranchers alike support SB 171 because it exempts agriculture, hunting and fishing.
Thank you,

I have been a lifetime resident of South Dakota, over 50 years. My husband and I live and work in Rapid City. We have been involved, as volunteer advocates, in animal welfare for 14 years, volunteering for area animal shelters and regional breed (Golden Retriever) rescue. We've seen more than our share of abuse and cruelty befall innocent dogs, at the hand of people who live in our great state.
I take issue with Mr. Krantz's comment "animals must be cared for in a decent, humane manner, but passing laws based on what other states do is not the right answer." I believe South Dakota does need stronger animal cruelty laws; not only because our neighboring states made the connection between animal cruelty and human violence 10 to 20 years ago, but because there are a number of animal cruelty cases in SD where current penalties are not adequate when dealing with violent offenders. The following is a link to recent cases: https://www.facebook.com/#!/notes/lets-pass-felony-animal-cruelty-laws-in-sd/facts-about-sd-animal-cruelty/341668932597869
SB 171 has been introduced by South Dakotan's (not activists) to establish as a felony, penalties for malicious and intentional acts of cruelty against companion animals and it will go a long way to providing prosecutors with another tool when dealing with violent offenders in South Dakota. Acts of animal cruelty are not only disturbing on their own, but there is documented research that proves that animal cruelty is a predictor and indicator of violent crimes, domestic violence and child abuse. If our courts and prosecutors are granted the ability to prosecute, as a felony, a proven act of violence to a domestic animal, that prosecution may in fact save the life of a child. That possibility in its own right should be reason enough to support this important bill. This isn't just about advocating for SD's companion animals, it is about human and animal welfare for everyone who make South Dakota their home.
This subject has nothing to do with "activists" infringing upon or undermining the rights and livelihood of our agriculture producers, nor is there any intention to "pit urban against rural", as Mr. Krantz states. Our farmers and ranchers are our family, our neighbors and our friends. The concern that SB 171 may conflict with South Dakota's agriculture industry is simply unfounded. SB 171 was specifically written to omit any and all agriculture animals, as well as any reference to hunting and fishing and is devoted strictly to legislation to protect companion animals.
There is also a misconception that I, along with dozens of other animal welfare advocate's in SD, have an association with HSUS (Humane Society of the United States) and the ASPCA (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). We do not belong to either organization, nor do we donate money to them. Their involvement in pursuing felony legislation in SD has simply been to endorse the goal for important legislation to protect the rights of SD's companion animals and the rights of their responsible and caring owner's, should malicious and intentional acts of cruelty befall them.
It is time that South Dakota take a stand in creating Felony Animal Cruelty laws to protect our communities and our pets.

I am writing in support of SB171. I am not a member of any outside organization or animal activist group. I am a registered veterinary technician and have worked in the field of veterinary medicine for nearly 17 years now. I am a South Dakotan. And I am a concerned citizen.
As a veterinary technician, I support SB171 because I have seen the results of malicious, intentional acts of cruelty. Is it something we see on a daily basis? No. But you are fooling yourself if you believe these things don't happen in the great state of South Dakota. SB171 would establish felony penalties for these acts and hold guilty parties accountable for their actions.
I support SB171 as a South Dakotan. In South Dakota we have a great respect for our farmers and our ranchers. I support SB171 because it will in no way affect production agriculture and the customary practices of our farmers and ranchers. Furthermore, SB171 has nothing to do with hunting, fishing or trapping.
As a concerned citizen I support SB171 because research shows that many people who abuse animals go on to commit acts of violence against people. Why not address the issue at it's beginning rather than let it progress to something like child abuse? Let's be proactive, not reactive. SB171 would accomplish that.
Read the bill. The intent is clear. Those who oppose this bill are trying to make it into something that it's not. The key words are "malicious, intentional acts of cruelty to a dog, cat or horse". Ag lobbyists and other Ag entities want you to see this bill as anti-Ag. Have they not read the bill? Have they not read the provisions in Section 2 of the bill?
South Dakotans, most of us anyway, have high moral standards and live by a set of principles and values that are good, honest, decent and humane. For those few individuals who don't live by these principles, we need to have measures in place to hold them responsible. SB171 would do this. Please support SB171.

Nicely done "smart"imus (still living up to that most ironic handle title I see). Quoting the lobbying arm of the tobacco, fast food and meat industry — the Center for Consumer Freedom (an astroturf organization brought to us by generous donations from Philip Morris). Gotta really take seriously any organization opposed to Mothers Against Drunk Driving, the Center for Disease Control, PETA, the Humane Society, etc.
Um … wait, CCF actually formally apologized for trying to label the Humane Society a terrorist organization or connecting it to ALF a while back (at least five years ago). And the supposed quote is from 1990 when the guy was 25. Think he might have gotten a little less radical over the years? Certainly EVERYTHING he has said and done since suggests he has.
In any case, though throwing in red herrings (abortion, big business lobbying organizations' silly attacks) is your modus operandi, it detracts from the heartfelt statements of the folks at the beginning of the thread. Do you have to throw the silly Faux news statements into every thread?? And if you do, could you at least do a little research and maybe once in a while not confirm the irony of your handle??

San Diego's Solekai Moves to Catch Wave of Smart Grid Software Development
Solekai Systems was founded in 2002, and quickly became one of San Diego's fastest-growing privately held companies. By specializing in digital video software development and engineering services (set-top boxes and related hardware) for customers like Sony Electronics, TiVo, Pioneer, and DirectTV, Solekai's revenue soared by 1,536 percent from 2003 to 2006—to $18.2 million.
That was enough to land Solekai on Inc. magazine's 2007 list of the 500 fastest-growing private companies, but Solekai founder and president Martin Caniff has become more circumspect since then. Nowadays Solekai executives say the company's revenue falls somewhere between $20 million and $100 million a year. Today digital video development still accounts for roughly 70 percent of Solekai's work, and vice president of engineering Tim McConnell says the company's software is running in more than 50 million devices. But Caniff and longtime friend Marco Thompson, who joined Solekai as CTO in February, tell me they are now targeting a huge new opportunity for exponential growth that's ideally suited for the company's 75 employees.
It's called the smart grid.
To Thompson, who helped start and run CommNexus, the San Diego telecom industry trade group, and who also co-founded Express Ventures, an early stage venture capital firm, the smart grid is "like a new hunting territory for a new San Diego sub-industry."
Most people don't understand what the smart grid is, and the definitions tend to get bogged down with IT buzzwords and acronyms. Still, it represents a transformation nearly as fundamental as rural electrification was 70 years ago. (We have organized a panel to explain just how fundamental the changes will be at the Xconomy Forum: The Rise of Smart Energy that is set for Tuesday June 8 at UC San Diego.) The smart grid basically calls for overhauling the existing power grid in ways that add sensors and two-way communications to the electric power distribution system, enabling grid operators to give a network ID to every component on the grid, including every electric meter, transformer, and circuit-breaker—and to use advanced IT and data management tools to operate the power grid more efficiently.
Thompson sees millions of new electronic components as part of this transformation. They include smart meters; home energy use display screens; appliances; wireless devices; capacitor bank controllers; and all the switches, routers, and servers needed to create smart grid network architecture. Thompson says that overhauling the grid will necessitate two types of software development—the traditional enterprise-level work done by the Accentures and Booz Allen Hamiltons of the world—and the kind of development needed to integrate all the embedded, consumer-facing devices that utilities are installing as part of the smart grid. "Embedded is much harder than enterprise," Thompson says, "but we do both."
Thompson has been working energetically to focus Solekai's internal resources on the emerging opportunities in smart grid development. When Thompson joined Solekai, Caniff said in a statement, "Marco has shown an ability to lead in two areas critical to the future of Solekai. One is keeping ahead of the curve on the technology that goes into complex consumer devices. Second is his understanding of large market shifts regarding technological changes over time."

Gresley unfortunate in reverse to high-flyers
Posted: January 07, 2013|
GRESLEY can feel themselves a little unlucky not to have got a share of the points after losing to second-placed Stamford at the Moat Ground on Saturday.
Richard Hanslow had given the home side the perfect start after just five minutes when he followed up Marc Strzyzewski's header, which had been blocked.
However two goals in seven minutes at the end of the first half gave the visitors the lead, and with Gresley looking to get back into the game Ricky Miller fired his second goal and Stamford's third with just minutes remaining.
Gresley were forced into to making a change to the starting line-up with Marc Goodfellow replacing the injured Rob Spencer - who will miss the rest of the season - and James Jepson coming back into midfield at the expense of Mickey Lyons.
Opening very well, Gresley took the lead when Jepson's corner from the left was strongly headed towards goal, and though his effort was blocked, Hanslow following up hammered the ball home from close in.
Jodan Nadat then saw his shot was blocked, but minutes later Gresley were very unlucky not to have added to their total.
Hanslow, in a clear onside position when the ball was played to him, cheekily back-heeled the ball into the net but was harshly adjudged to have been offside.
Holmes then saw a shot fizz just the wrong side of the post.
Stamford should have levelled things when a free kick from Andy Hall picked out James Ozmen unmarked but his shot was a wild one going well over the bar.
However, they were back on terms minutes later and it was more poor defending which saw Hall race through before slipping the ball to Jack Gibson, who was left in space and he made no mistake hitting the ball past keeper Gary Hateley.
Things went from bad to worse for Gresley as they conceded another goal just before the break, and again it was the result of some poor defending.
A run down the left ended with Miller being given the ball and he coolly beat Hateley.
Gresley started the second half brightly but it was the visitors who had the best of the early chances, with Jack McGovern making a great run down the right but his low cross into the area evaded both Stamford players racing forward.
Stamford's next chance should have resulted in a goal when Gibson made a quick break and, with just Hateley to beat, hit an awful shot that went well wide.
Gresley were pushing forward looking to get something out of the game but finding it difficult to break down some resolute defending by the visitors.
Of course this left Gresley vulnerable to the quick break, and twice Stamford capitalised on this with two chances.
The first was denied by Hateley at his near post blocking Miller's shot, but the Gresley keeper failed to stop Miller's next chance as again the frontman beat a static defence before flashing a shot past Hateley and into the net.
With the game almost at an end, Gresley substitute Aaron Dillon went close to reducing the deficit when his goal-bound shot was deflected, leaving Stamford keeper Matt Finley rooted to the spot but agonisingly for Gresley the ball flew the wrong side of the upright.

IOWA CITY, Iowa – Parents of students in Johnson County schools are being notified about a whooping cough outbreak.
Tricia Kitzmann, deputy director of Johnson County Public Health, said 18 cases of the disease – also known as pertussis – have been confirmed in the last two weeks. That compares to three to four cases per month during the summer.
"It's been here all summer," Kitzmann said. "Now that the kids are back in school, teachers are sending kids home sick and they're getting tested."
Students at all grade levels, from kindergarten to seniors, have been affected, she said, with most cases at the high school level.
Numbers are up in Iowa as a whole this year, with 1,040 cases statewide and 170 cases in Linn County as of Friday, Aug. 31, according to the Iowa Department of Public Health.
The department noted that number is nearly 500 percent higher this year, compared to the average of the past five years at 174 cases.
No deaths have been reported so far this year.
In addition to emails going to parents of students in all of the Johnson County school districts, letters are being sent to family members of verified cases.
Kitzmann said those close contacts are being offered antibiotics as a preventative measure, but she said it's not advised for others to go to their doctors to ask for medications.
Rather, people should ensure that their immunizations are up-to-date, cover their coughs and stay home if they are ill, she said.
Kitzmann said it is important for adults and adolescents to receive a booster shot of Tdap, which contains both tetanus and pertussis vaccine, to help prevent spreading the disease to infants who are too young to be immunized.
Pertussis, which causes severe coughing spells, can be especially dangerous – and even deadly – for babies.

If there was every a lucky Astro 113 class, this was it. We only got clouded out one night! One or more of the students clearly had pleased the weather gods, and we were grateful. As a result, we had a lot of time to spend outside playing with the telescopes, teasing our lab assistants, and trying out the new custom-built toys made by Mark Zach to make the experience better. (They worked!) Here are the images we managed collected and wanted to share. Enjoy! (Note that some images, particularly of the Moon, have been scaled down in size a bit to fit your browser.

Clouds! We hate them so much! Things went great for us through September in Astronomy 113 this fall. Then October happened. Supposedly, it was hte second wettest October on record. We noticed. We were stuck inside. Not getting to take pictures. Yeah, we're kind of annoyed about that. Still, after it cleared up again (thank you, November!), we got out and took what pictures we could. Here is a sample of our handy work. Enjoy! John Weiss

Reviews of Kicheche Bush Camp
They do not necessarily represent the views of Expert Africa.
Fantastic camp, terrific hosts
This is an excellent camp in every way. From the moment we arrived, Darren and Emma went out of their way to make our 4 night stay as memorable as possible. The tented accommodation is very luxurious and coupled with a dedicated butler (Joseph) and excellent food made the stay very pleasant.
Beautiful spacious tents with an awning, plus outside hammock made for for restful periods between the game drives. Lighting is with low voltage lights but as with the other camps batteries can be charged in the main lounge in the camp. There are plenty of charging points for all. This camp uses bucket showers, there's no hot water on tap, but we didn't find that a problem.
The food was excellent, nearly too much at times, both Darren and Emma being excellent attentive hosts during the meals. The picnic breakfast while on the early morning game drive was much appreciated.
Game viewing was excellent, lion, leopard, cheetah were all found by our guide, Charles along with lots of other wildlife. We did manage to see a wildebeest crossing which was an added bonus as we hadn't expected to see this early in July. The vehicles used by the Kicheche team all have open roofs and provide bean bags or side mounted trays on which to rest long heavy lenses for photography, something which we much appreciated. Ponchos and blankets were also available as it did get quite cold on a couple of morning and evening game drives.
We coudn't fault this camp, has to be one of the best we have stayed in over the years we have travelled on safari to Africa.
Exceptional safari camp
Kicheche Bush Camp really felt like home from home. Darren and Emma were fantastic hosts and made us feel like nothing was too much trouble. The tents were luxurious and our tent attendant - Joseph - did a great job of looking after us (almost like having our own personal butler!)
This was a superb spot for big cats and we were fortunate to see all of them really close up - lions, cheetah, leopard. Our excellent guide, Patrick, also managed to spot rhino for us on our last day which successfully completed our viewing of the Big FIve!

Written by Kirsten E. Lombard
Take That, Al Baby! Monckton Makes It to the Glenn Beck Radio Program...and Beyond Glenn Beck's third hour of radio this morning delivered a significant blow to the international treaty President Obama is expected to sign in Copenhagen in early December. Mr. Beck spoke for approximately fifteen minutes with Lord Christoper Monckton. A former advisor on science policy to Lady Margaret Thatcher, Monckton has become known around the world as the "Anti Al Gore."
Those who read my previous article, or who have now seen the video of Lord Monckton's October 14th lecture at Bethel University, will already know that his message now extends beyond the global warming lie itself. Rather his Lordship is busily sounding an alarm about where that lie will shortly take us if we do not act quickly to stop it.
Beck and Monckton clearly have an easy conversational rapport. The two have spoken in the past, and both possess an excellent sense of humor. A few humorous moments aside, though, the seriousness of the subject before them was clearly driving the discussion part 1, discussion part 2 .
Monckton began with some backstory on the treaty President Obama is expected to sign in a few weeks' time. The plan it contains was apparently worked out in large measure at the 2007 Conference of the States' Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Bali, Indonesia. It's is the same conference that will reconvene in Copenhagen on-how oddly symbolic-December 7th of this year.
Let's not pretend. George W. Bush failed repeatedly to protect our southern border in any meaningful way. That said, he was no friend to the UNFCCC. One has to give the man credit for rightly maintaining during his eight years in office that the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, and any international agreement that smelled like it, remained an exceptionally bad idea for U.S. business and, um, what's that word again...? Oh yes...sovereignty. So, the UNFCCC has been biding its time. Now that W. is out of the way, they're ready to push ahead with the aims he inconveniently refused to share.
What precisely are the UNFCCC's aims where the Copenhagen treaty is concerned? Monckton summarized plainly: "There will be a new, vast, interlocking, bureaucratic entity created at huge expense to you and me, and that bureaucratic entity will have three purposes, the first of which is twice stated to be government."*
The second purpose, Monckton continued, involves the broad transfer of wealth from first-world countries like the U.S. and Western European nations to the Third World for what is described as "climate debt." Here, then, is the reparations scam about which I wrote a few days ago. Billed as horrible, nasty, wasty polluters, we will be forced to pay up 2% of our GDP as payment for having ruined the earth for the people of poorer nations around the world. Never mind that we've now largely cleaned up after ourselves. Also, one needs to ignore the fact that some of the very nations to which our "we're-so-sorry-we've-been-horrible-monsters" money will go are now entering their own industrial periods and have begun belching out "dangerous" carbon emissions in precisely the same manner we used to do. Something is distinctly rotten in the State of Denmark.
The third task the treaty lays out is enforcement. The new government the document establishes will have the power to force countries to pay their specified contributions whether they like it or not. I have not yet perused the treaty closely enough to understand fully the nature of the enforcement program or the degree to which it is has been laid out. However, Monckton did explain that it describes "a series of interlocking, technical panels that will have the right directly to intervene in the economies and the environments of individual countries over the heads of their elected governments" (emphasis mine)
Monckton made no bones as to his assessment. The Copenhagen treaty, he asserts, goes much further than any previous document. It amounts to a fledgling communist world government.
Anyone who follows me on Twitter will know that just after President Obama received his Nobel Peace Prize, I alluded to it as a form of political bribery or graft. Monckton similarly labeled it during last week's dinner conversation and reiterated that opinion today in speaking with Mr. Beck: "The danger is, now that he's been given his Nobel Peace Prize, if he goes to Copenhagen with Al Gore at one elbow and [NASA's] Jim Hansen at the other, in front the keening zombies in their tens of thousands, he'll sign anything," Monckton remarked. "And he won't have read the small print. Nobody seems to have read the small print until I picked it up. It's quite extraordinary that this has got as far as it has with nobody noticing."
Monckton continued by identifying one of the treaties key origins: "Morris Strong, a Canadian bureaucrat who originally set up the structure of the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) some 20-odd years ago...always wanted [it] to transmogrify into a world government, and he's now going to get his way far faster than any of us had realized unless we can stop him."
Beck and Monckton then launched into a discussion of how Congress will respond to the Copenhagen treaty. The Constitution's treaty clause (Article II, Section 2, Clause 2) states that "[the president] shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur." Monckton seemed quite doubtful that President Obama could count on a super-majority of that nature for this treaty.
Consequently, his Lordship strongly suspects that the administration would make an end run around the two-thirds rule by pushing for a simple majority in both houses of Congress. Far more likely to succeed, this strategy would enact the Copenhagen treaty into U.S. domestic, as opposed to international, law. Unlike a foreign treaty-from which it would be extremely difficult to resile-domestic legislation could potentially be repealed. Theoretically, that's a slightly less disastrous scenario. But for realists, the handwriting is on the wall: Should Congress enact such sweeping policy, even on a domestic level, the last finger will have been pulled from the protective dike that is U.S. sovereignty. It would not take long for that fact to become formally recognized.
In response to Monckton's conjectures about the way the treaty would be maneuvered into passage, Beck aptly noted that when the Left cannot get Congress to pass its cherished agendas, it has a history of enlisting cities and states to litigate those matters in court. Such actions have the effect of leaving a wide swath of judicial record-and often a very false impression about the movement of the country on those issues. Should the U.S. Supreme Court decide to rule on any related matters, such "movement" would likely prove a factor in deliberations. Beck's fears on this score are unquestionably well founded.
Nevertheless, Monckton cited an important obstacle that now lies in the Left's path if it attempts this sort of litigious route...
Richard Lindzen of MIT, the Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Planetary and Atmospheric Sciences, has in the last two months, released a salient (understatement of the year) study on climate feedbacks. Simple in concept but meticulous in execution, Lindzen's study measures the escape of outgoing radiation into space.
Al Gore and those with whom the former vice president aligns himself claim, of course, that such radiation becomes trapped within the earth's atmosphere, leading to precipitous and disastrous warming. Yet Lindzen's study finds quite the opposite: such radiation has continued escaping out into space at rates that would seem finally to put an end the global warming scare. Results indicate, in fact, that the effects of CO2 on temperature over the course of the next century will remain well below 2° F, possibly as low as 1° F. These projections amount to less than one sixth of what the U.N. claims and are, quite simply, negligible.
Better still, where all previous projections were based solely on computer modeling-much of it wildly biased-Lindzen's projections are based on hard data accumulated over the course of 20 years. Monckton had actually published a paper last year that arrived at the same conclusions from a theoretical perspective. Now Lindzen's rigorously conducted science backs him up.
Naturally, others will want to examine and test Linden's findings. But once his study and the careful workmanship with which he executed it gain wider exposure-and it shouldn't take long-Congress will find it much harder to justify any treaty that attempts to leverage the exposed lie of anthropogenic climate change.
Be watching everyone. Mr. Beck is not done with this topic. He's invited Lord Monckton to spend a full hour on his Fox News television program. Expect further discussion around the treaty's content, the political maneuvering involved in positioning it, and the implications for all of us should it be enacted in any manner. And look for former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton to be present for that discussion as well. No date has yet been announced, but Monckton will be in range of New York later this week.
*See paragraphs 36 and 38 of the treaty.

Euz was a half-human half-demon from the early days of the world, when there was but chaos. He is also known as Almighty Euz, vanquisher of demons, closer of gates, father of the World. He rose up against the demons and banished them to the Other Side, thus allowing humans to flourish. After that, he gave gifts to his three eldest sons – the three pure disciplines of magic – and then left them, telling his sons to bring order to the world. Euz is presumed dead, but his exact fate is unrevealed.
The sons of EuzEdit
Euz had four sons:
- Juvens, who he taught the High Art (manipulation of the laws of physics)
- Kanedias, who he taught Making (crafting of artifacts)
- Bedesh, who he taught how to speak with spirits
- Glustrod, who received no gifts from his father apart from his blessings
After teaching his sons their part of his gifts, Euz departed the world and told his sons to bring it to order. They did so in their own manners, but Glustrod was jealous of the gifts the others had, and eventually came to rise against Juvens. Juvens and Bedesh then made war on Glustrod, killing him. Later, Juvens was murdered by Kanedias (by some accounts), and in revenge Juvens' apprentices the Magi attacked Kanedias, and Bayaz killed him. Of the four sons of Euz, only Bedesh is unaccounted for.
The two known Laws of EuzEdit
Euz commanded his sons (and their followers) to obey laws, of which the following are the two known laws:
- The First Law: It is forbidden to touch the Other Side direct. Forbidden to communicate with the world below, forbidden to summon demons, forbidden to open gates to hell.
- The Second Law: It is forbidden to eat the flesh of men.

Stephen Hadley
Right Web - July 02, 2015
Stephen Hadley, a former national security advisor to President George W. Bush, has advocated a hardline towards Russia in the wake of the 2014 Ukraine crisis. Among his recommendations is for the CIA to covertly arm Ukrainian rebels. He said in November 2014: "If I were in my old job I would be thinking about lethal assistance—yes. But you know this is why you have a CIA, you know this is why you have covert action and I would be thinking—do we want to do it explicitly to send a message to Putin? Or do you want to do it covertly?"

I thought I explained: the other part of the picture was the independence of the AGs. I didn't hear that idea expressed by anyone here, yet I thought that was the salient point of the whole matter. But maybe you already understood.
I thought I explained: the other part of the picture was the independence of the AGs. I didn't hear that idea expressed by anyone here, yet I thought that was the salient point of the whole matter. But maybe you already understood.
I agree that they should be independent, but that's not how it works. Their point of view is expected to be generally in line with that of the President. Or, at a minimum, not in direct opposition to the Pres/Administration.
We're maybe talking about two different things here. No one's questioning the President's appointment of fellow Republicans (I assume they're all Republicans). But the independence I'm talking about is in decisions the AG makes in carrying out his or her job. If he has a case for prosecution, and it's a friend of the President, and everyone knows it, and the AG doesn't prosecute, that sends a message that justice is not really fair in that district. The AG needs to be independent to make tough decisions, without the help of the White House (or take any other "boss").
Commentary from the Sunday morning press shows. He has some supporters. But note the paucity of their arguments--essentially: "He's doing a great job".
Matclone, we basically agree on this. My primary point is that he should be getting grilled for the torture memos, and he deserves to be removed for things he has done relating to torture.
The AG stuff is BS, but the D's are using it well. It's similar to Al Capone finally being caught for tax-avoidance.
Aren't the torture memos a question of legal opinion? What line of inquiry would you take? From my perspective, Gonzales did what most any lawyer would do, he advocated (in this case made a legal argument) for what his boss (or client) wanted. Now, you could say he stepped over the ethical line, but I think that would be really hard to establish. Now if you wanted to try to get to who wanted to okay torture in contravention of our law, that would make some sense to me. But I dont' think Gonzales is necessarily the one to blame for this.

Smoldering Pile of Ashes Believed to be Gonzales
Found on Chair in Senate Hearing Room
A smoldering pile of ashes found on a chair in the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing room is believed to be the remains of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, officials confirmed today.
The smoking remnants, which appeared on the chair in which Mr. Gonzales had been seated during his testimony Thursday, have a "ninety percent chance" of being the Attorney General, a source close to the committee said.
"We're going to have to wait for positive identification from the forensics people," the source said. "But right now, all evidence points to that smoldering pile of ashes being Alberto."
Mr. Gonzales' day of testimony got off to a bumpy start as he displayed the memory lapses that have become his hallmark, including forgetting that he had an appointment with the Senate Judiciary Committee that day.
The Attorney General rushed into the hearing room two hours late, still wearing a pajama top, telling the senators that he had forgotten to set his clock radio.
As his testimony wore on, Mr. Gonzales repeatedly frustrated his Senate inquisitors by telling them that he could not recollect important meetings and conversations, prompting Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass) to interject, "Even when I'm on a bender I have a better memory than this."
At the White House, President Bush gave Mr. Gonzales' a vote of confidence, telling reporters, "I believe that Alberto can continue to be an effective Attorney General, even if he is a smoldering pile of ashes."

FORT DODGE, Iowa -- Jon Prottsman was convinced he had the better team.
"Better team" doesn't always translate into "winning team."
Iowa City Regina stranded 12 runners and gave up three unearned runs, and that allowed second-ranked Treynor to escape with a 3-2 victory in an 11-inning Class 2A quarterfinal thriller at the state softball tournament Monday afternoon at the Rogers Sports Complex.
"We're better than Treynor -- four or five runs at least," Prottsman said. "It just didn't happen today."
The defending-champion Cardinals (29-5) advance to face No. 8 Ackley AGWSR in a semifinal at 1 p.m. Thursday. The Cougars (28-7) downed Jesup, 8-2, Monday.
Regina, the 2011 champion, fell to 20-20. The Regals play Jesup in a consolation game at noon Wednesday, then play their final game at 2 p.m. or 4 p.m.
It's not where they wanted to be, and it's not where they feel they belong.
"I felt like we were going to win it," said Regina's Megan Bonnett, whose home run in the third inning tied the game at 2-2 -- and it stayed that way until the 11th.
"Every time we got runners on (base), we couldn't get them in. We just didn't execute."
Through the first five innings, Regina stranded nine runners in scoring position.
Allison Stein (6-8) absorbed the pitching loss despite scattering four hits and allowing no earned runs in 10 2/3 innings. She retired 19 straight Cardinals from the fourth inning into the 10th.
"My drop curve was working, and that (forced a lot of ground balls)," Stein said. "I don't know what to say. We could have had that one."
Two errors factored into Treynor's first two runs (in the first inning), then another error was key in the Cardinals' winning rally.
With two outs, Gracie Myers and Laura Hempel hit back-to-back singles. Myers beat the throw from center fielder Gabby Dutchik to third, then scored when it got past two infielders and reached the fence beyond third base.
"The hits didn't beat us," Prottsman said. "It was our inability to handle the ball. We gave them runs, but they scored them, so hats off to them."
Down 2-0, Regina got a run back on Jenna Lehman's RBI single in the bottom of the first, then got even on Bonnett's bomb -- her fifth of the season -- in the third.
"I didn't think it was going over the fence," Bonnett said. "I thought it was a regular fly ball. It went over, and I was so relieved."
The rest of regulation was a recurrence of scoring opportunities on which the Regals didn't capitalize.
With runners at second and third with one out in the fifth, Stein lifted a line drive to center field -- probably deep enough to score a run. But courtesy runner Nikki Becker wandered off the bag at third and couldn't get back in time to tag and score.
That was Regina's final major threat. Then, after doing little against Stein for 10 innings, the Cardinals struck in the 11th.
"That last time they came in I said, 'Guys, we're better than two hits. Come on. Get a bat on the ball and make something happen,' '' said Treynor Coach JoEllen Travis.
Regina out-hit the Cardinals, 9-4. Kennedy Brown and Katie Wick had two hits apiece.

White Gold in southern ChadPosted on Thursday, April 28th, 2011 at 8:00 am
Francesca Reinhardt, Program Support Officer, Concern Worldwide, Chad
I'm based in a small town called Goz Beida in eastern Chad. It's a dusty corner of the Sahel, where the bulk of the traffic comes in the form of slow-moving donkeys and camels. It's an unforgiving environment, but I'm learning things here that I don't think I could learn anywhere else.
Chad is a vast landlocked country, covering several eco-zones, and some of the highest rates of poverty on the planet. The challenges are enormous. Chad has the world's highest child infant mortality rate, and is in the bottom five countries ranked by the United Nations Human Development Index. Chad has experienced not only natural disasters, but also civil conflict, the internal displacement of populations, refugees fleeing conflict in neighboring Central African Republic (C.A.R.) and Sudan, the Sahel food crisis, drought, flooding, and cholera outbreaks.

39 year old man | Highland Park, CA, USA | Seeking women 32-37 within 30 miles of Los Angeles, CA
just an easy-going guy who likes to laugh, talk, and share experiences
I'm a low key kind of person. But my friends have always seemed to enjoy my dry sense of humor and philosophical nature. I'm interested in finding someone who enjoys laughing, taking it easy, and engaging in conversation. Though sensible and grounded, I am passionate and affectionate in a relationship; when its a relationship in which a strong connection has been made. That's what brings me here. I am hoping to find someone who enjoys intimacy, playful and harmless teasing, and talking about a wide range of things - from what their day was like, to politics/anthropology/science and just about everything In between.. I do enjoy going out drinking and dancing from time to time but often prefer something more laid back like a lounge, live music or comedy show. Online dating is a new experience for me, but from what I've heard, it can yield a very positive outcome. I'm hoping for that to be true.
Book club , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Playing cards , Political interests , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Billiards / Pool, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I don't believe in astrology
I like Dogs
I like dogs but I've never actually owned a pet. As a kid, I would feed a stray cat that I ended up naming and considering my pet (my folks weren't pet-friendly)..Not really a cat person though (highly allergic)
Don't have any favorite Hot Spots perse, comedy clubs are fun, live music, lounges, hiking areas, etc. Not really attached to specific areas but I do have much more of an attraction to these said general types of places than others I suppose.
California State University, Northridge, Northridge, CA
I like all kinds of music. I am perhaps one of the few people that feel it doesn't rain enough in LA. Cloudy skies are beautiful to me. I like all sorts of games (pool, darts, cards, etc.) and am open to things my partner enjoys....usually
movies, drinks, music, comedy clubs, reading, hiking/walks, eating out, conversation, reading, friendly debates
Currently reading "jesus interrupted". Haven't been reading much lately since I've been pretty busy at work.

Listen/Watch: Passenger - "Scare Away the Dark" & "Whispers"/
Mike Rosenberg -- aka Passenger -- had something of a "Gotye-styled" dilemma on his hands. How exactly do you follow up "Let Her Go," the bestselling single in the U.K. last year, a Top 5 hit in the US. and runaway breakout in 20 countries? New album Whispers, arriving June 10 via Black Crow/Nettwerk, promises to answer that question in full. But for now we get a couple teasing tastes starting with "Scare Away The Dark," the LP's lead single that drops to digital stores and officially hits radio April 14. Plus, there's a new studio-filmed version of the album's more contemplative title track. Dive in. Read more about Whispers via the DC News Feed here.
