"While I meant the things I said, I said them in a way I regret.Have a nice weekend everyone."All cool, Ian :)Matt
"And that is exactly why the Obama Administration is closing the parks and monuments"FYI, since you are so up on your middle school civics classes, you should realize that funding is not provided by the administration but rather by Congress. The Obama administration shut nothing down...the House of Representatives did by not funding the government. Obama has had nothing whatsoever to do with this...other than to reiterate that he wouldn't negotiate his duly passed, confirmed by the Supreme Court, health insurance reform bill while under threat.And what's with the the capital letters on everything?? I don't believe you passed any grammar classes in grade school......
See the NBC news report:http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Congressman-Confronts-Park-Ranger-Over-Closed-WWII-Memorial-226209781.htmlHere's the appropriate line from the piece:"The Park Service has been allowing World War II vets who have traveled from all over the country to enter the memorial, even though it's closed during the government shutdown; the rangers say they are exercising their First Amendment rights as they let the veterans in.But they are keeping the rest of the public out of the facility, which is officially closed. And that did not sit well with the congressman, reported News4's Mark Segraves, who witnessed the confrontation."
"And what's with the the capital letters on everything?? I don't believe you passed any grammar classes in grade school......"^^^^That is not necessary nor is it going to help anything. Edit, maybe?Editing my own, as it did not help a thing either...Can we not discuss, even heatedly, without personal attacks?When I lived in a small redneck community in the foothills and would get into discussions with people about,say, the death penalty, gay rights, immigration etc. I would often be personally attacked for being a " hippy" or a " damn liberal". I would try and keep the discussion to the topic at hand, but some felt they had the right to go straight to name calling. They would look at each other and scoff and agree that it was ok to do that. I see the same thing happening here, on both sides. If someone holds a view that is contrary to ours, even absurd in our opinion, that still does not give us the right to attack one personally. When we do that we are the ones responsible for degenerating a discussion.

Would have been fantastic if the ranger recognized the old fart and gave him what for while the cameras were going. Put the blame on him, where it belongs.
The debate of Constitutional Republic vs Representative Democracy vs Democracy is silly. Compared to biological classification, this is like defining the family, genus, and species of our government. They all apply. It's just an attempt to derail a conversation and take focus of the question I presented Matt. He hasn't been in the shoes of that park ranger, he has not been forced to work for the government for free, but seems compelled to say that her behavior is shameful for doing her sworn duty and enforcing the law. There is no law enforcement officer who personally agrees with every law on the books they are sworn to enforce (including me). If the laws are unconstitutional, then there is a means to challenge them in the courts. If the law is deemed to be constitutional and still don't like it? Petition your congressman and senators to change it. Don't want to put forth the effort and just want to complain for complaining's sake? Knock yourself out but don't expect to be taken seriously. As far as civility goes....I can only speak for myself. I've already acknowledged that while I meant everything I said, I could have delivered my message in a more constructive manner and regret one of my responses. I appreciate the PMs I received following that; I have no problem being held accountable and appreciate it when other members I respect rope me back in when I step out of line. With that being said, respect delivered often times equals respect received. There's a distinction between an heated debate and trolling. It's also important to note that this conversation isn't happening in a vacuum. In fairly recent history, Matthew had some of his comments removed by the moderators on another thread because he was making misogynistic comments towards another forum member. I personally sent him a PM and asked for him to remove the comments; he refused. To my knowledge, he's yet to apologize for his horrible comments.So yes, regardless of how the agitators behave, we should all be civil but the rules need to apply for all. It should go without saying that I respect Katharina and her input. Just a difference of opinion.

"So yes, regardless of how the agitators behave, we should all be civil but the rules need to apply for all. "Absolutely. I agree Ian.When Matthew gets personal, which he does, there are plenty of people that call him on it. When the liberal side gets personal, the general climate is that it is ok. That is why I seem to intervene in a lop sided manner.

Why is that Obama and his supporters always blame someone else. For the first 3 years it was Bush & Cheney, now it's Congress., I know Obama is the smartest person on the planet. But he sure is a neophyte when it comes getting anything done within a divided government.Must he have complete total power to get anything done?I mean we all know Bush is an ignorant, war mongering, idiot. He was however able to get multiple bi-partisan legislation passed through both houses.Obama gets on his helicopter, flies to a grade school, lectures the class on how he's a Washington outsider, tells everyone how screwed things are, blames the Republicans, gets back on helicopter and heads to the golf course.
I'm all for universal healthcare if we can achieve it in a sustainable way but I'm not a supporter of ACA as written. I hope that the aspects of it I object to will be fixed in time. The reason I mention that is even though I wouldn't have signed off on ACA, the fact remains that this body of law was appropriately passed and was found to be constitutional by the Supremes. Despite the fact that the GOP only holds the House of Representatives, they seem oblivious to the fact that they aren't in a position to demand terms to anyone right now. If they were smart, they'd start working with the DNC to remove the job killing aspects of the ACA, which admittedly will be very difficult and take several years. Instead they've taken a stance that even though they are in the minority and fractured as a political party, that if they don't get their way they'll shut the government down. I agree with your opinions of Obama and the Dems but just wanted to state that the GOP isn't blameless.

"That is why I seem to intervene in a lop sided manner."Ok I see your point.
"FYI, since you are so up on your middle school civics classes, you should realize that funding is not provided by the administration but rather by Congress. The Obama administration shut nothing down"(Sigh)...again, Jennifer, you are dead wrong. Congress has the power of the purse, and they chose to fund the entire government, except Obamacare. That is their constitutional prerogative. Obama and the Democrats shut down the government because they wanted all of it passed, including Obamacare.This is why we have a separation of powers. Congress funded the entire government but Obamacare. So Obama and the Democrats chose to shut down the government. During a shutdown of government, it is still true that Congress holds the purse strings, but THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH (that would be the PRESIDENT...in case you can't follow my 4th grade civics lesson here, or the words i'm using are to big to understand), has SOLE, I'll say that again...S O L E, discretionary powers over what is deemed essential and non-essential. Basically, Obama DID shut down the parks and monuments just to make it harder on the American people and to assert his "power". Obama claims that he can't avoid shutting down public sites and monuments,even though war memorials were in fact kept open during the 1995/1996 government shutdowns. Please keep in mind these are open air monuments that are open to the public 24/7, and cost more to close than to just leave open. The administration's decision to barricade (BARRYcade?) the Lincoln Memorial marks the first time in its history the memorial has been totally off limits to visitors during a shutdown.The administration has also said no to efforts by non-governmental groups to maintain access to public sites. The American people are currently paying for eight mounted cops to keep people out of the World War II memorial. That is frikkin' unbelievable to me! MattPS--I don't believe I was "getting personal" with anyone on here, just stating my opinions and beliefs on the subject. By the way, Ian...I would love for people to remember my conduct in the other thread where I was accused of "misogynistic comments", but it was me, in reality, who kept things from getting personal and was actually the victim of Misandry by a certain man-hating individual here. I state my opinion, which differs from many on here, and am routinely personally attacked for it with character and intelligence jokes and innuendo (Teabagger/Teabilly...remember?). I responded with courtesy, dignity and respect. Period. A few people came to my defense, but like I said before, my views are vastly outnumbered here on BPL. Guess it's a Democracy, huh?

Matt,I'm basically a salary employee for the government. My end of shift, since the day I was hired, has always been TBD/needs of the service. I typically work 50 hours a week on salary but it's not uncommon for me to work far more than that. I feel that my pay and benefits (except for now) are fair for my effort and expertise for what I do so I'm not complaining. Since I'm an essential employee, I still show up to work every day unpaid. Starting October 1st, I've donated 40 unpaid hours. I'll probably get reimbursed for it at some point in the future but the fact remains that I don't know if it will be three weeks or three months until I see another paycheck. The park ranger in this story is in the same exact boat as me. Your quote:"I disagree about the ranger, too. They should all be ashamed of themselves and should have just said "...no! I will not do that to our heroes. Come do it yourself"."As I said before, you've never been in this position. I was in the military when we went through the last boondoggle in 1995 so I can speak from personal experience from both the military and civilian side of things. What the civilian employees are suffering through now is very different than what I experienced as a soldier in 1995. So it's very apparent to me when I read your comment above that you are suggesting this park ranger to make a professional sacrifice that you've never had to make for yourself. And as has been mentioned several times by reputable sources, the veterans had access to the monument. As I mentioned in the OP, the monuments should not be closed but the blame lies on our elected officials and a number of bureaucrats, not on the rank-and-file officers.
Ian...good points. I still disagree, but good points, well stated, nonetheless.And also, thank you, Jennifer, for answering my question about the civilians vs. veterans being let in. Like I said before, I was not aware of the Park Service doing that for them. The source, NBC, is questionable in my opinion, but thanks, anyway.Matt

"Congress has the power of the purse, and they chose to fund the entire government, except Obamacare. That is their constitutional prerogative. Obama and the Democrats shut down the government because they wanted all of it passed, including Obamacare."Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm, no.You're being intellectually dishonest by still proclaiming that it's Obama and the Dems who shut down government. You're not even correct in what you've written above.Congress encompasses both the House and Senate. Congress did not choose to fund the entire government except the ACA. Only the House put forth that position. The Senate did not agree. That's why we have a stalemate. Obama didn't shut down the government - he hasn't been passed a bill to sign or veto. If he did get a bill, and he vetoed it, then you could accuse him of shutting down the government. That hasn't happened.You and others who want to blame this on the Dems are, in effect, saying that the Senate should just do whatever the House wants them to do, and if they don't, they're at fault (and the Prez for good measure). But the Senate would be shirking their constitutional duty and prerogative if they were to do that. You can't have it both ways.Therefore, you can't simply blame the Dems, and you can't blame the Prez, you can only blame Congress as a whole, as that's where things are held up at the moment because of the two intransigent bodies.That's if you want to be intellectually honest about the whole thing.
Nope, sorry, Doug. I disagree with you. Also, don't assume i'm a Republican, you'd be wrong. By the way, at this point, I am really sick of BOTH parties. I think we all need to bring back the Bull Moose Party.Matt
Edited by bigfoot2 on 10/06/2013 18:22:02 MDT.
I have no doubt you disagree with me, doesn't make me wrong though.And I've never assumed you're a Republican, nor did I say so in my post, so not sure where that came from. In fact you've said before that you're not a Republican, and while I'm old, I still have a memory.
"And as has been mentioned several times by reputable sources, the veterans had access to the monument. As I mentioned in the OP, the monuments should not be closed but the blame lies on our elected officials and a number of bureaucrats, not on the rank-and-file officers."Like I said before, I question the source of the contrary story. I do not believe the Vets were let in. That is a lie. They had access only after they took it upon themselves to force their way in. Basically, they were not stopped. That is being spun into "had access". I have in the past been a volunteer for Honor Flight (http://www.honorflight.org/), many Honor Flight vets were there that day. I called my contacts at Honor Flight and was given a much different story than the one from NBC that Jennifer posted above.This is the truth as I understand it:http://dailycaller.com/2013/10/01/obama-admin-knew-about-wwii-veterans-request-and-rejected-it/The simple fact is, it does not need to be this way, and should not. The point to be made here is that the government (democrat Senate/Republican House/Democratic Executive Branch) is to blame. It's just the simple fact that they CAN do this just to show their power over us little people, and to inflict as much hurt as they can.
Matt, Using facts and not tea party talking points, can you please explain to me (and to Doug, who was spot on in his description of our current predicament) how this is the fault of the Democrats and Barak Obama?The fact is that there is a majority of both houses, the Democratically controlled Senate as well as the Republican controlled House, to pass a clean funding bill. This bill would fund the government as agreed upon by the actual majority of the country.The minority party lost the election, the tea party lost several elections, and Mitt Romney, who campaigned on the repeal of the ACA, lost the election. John Boehner emphatically states he will abide by the Hastert rule, which means he will not bring a measure to a vote if it does not have the backing of the majority of the GOP. So we now have a PIECE of the minority who want to literally hold this country hostage if their demands are not met. They lost the election. They need to accept that they lost and move on...then actually work on making the admittedly imperfect ACA better.Not to add flame to this fire, but how are their actions not treasonous?? The overthrow of a duly elected government by a small group of tyrants who are unhappy about a law that was found constitutional......if this were a third world country, or France, how would we react to this?
I also find it very interesting that the story "the way you see it" is nothing but an interview with a GOP congressman, rather than the word of an impartial observer (the guy is a local tv reporter from dc, who I'm sure youll take issue with) and an interview with some of the park rangers themselves.

[authors: Philip Bentley, QC and Philipp Werner]
On 14 November, the EU General Court ruled in related cases T-135/09 and T-140/09 that the European Commission had been too broad when setting out its mandate for the carrying out of dawn raids at the offices of companies in France and Italy. The Court viewed that the Commission was illegally "fishing" for evidence of possible further anti-competitive activity. In essence, this means that the Commission must confine itself to a specific, targeted sub category when authorising dawn raids.
In both related cases, the Commission had suspicions that the parties had engaged in anti-competitive activity in the supply of underwater and underground electric cables. The Commission conducted dawn raids to collect information, not only on these categories of electric cable, but also on all types of electric cable. After the raid had taken place, the parties involved learned through a Commission press release that the Commission was really only investigating anti-competitive activity in the underwater and underground electric cables market. The widening of the investigation to include all types of cabling could therefore be construed as a "fishing expedition".
The parties appealed the expansive reach of the Commission's search. The Court decided that the scope of the dawn raids should not have been expanded to the collection of information and documentation on the supply of all types of electric cable. It found that the Commission was illegally fishing for evidence of possible further anti-competitive activity. In essence, this means that the Commission must confine itself to only the specific sub category of products that it suspects of being the subject of anti-competitive activity.
Legal Basis of Dawn Raids
Dawn raids are provided for under Article 20 of Regulation 1/2003. They constitute an important tool in the European Commission's fight against anti-competitive practices. The Commission is allowed to carry out an inspection of not only the business premises of their target companies, but also of the homes and cars of the persons involved. They can inspect documents, make copies, take screen shots, and question employees. All the information collected may then be used as evidence in any regulatory action against the companies involved.
Amongst other things, when authorising the inspection, the Commission has to specify the subject matter and the purpose of the inspection. It need not necessarily delimit precisely the relevant market, but it must outline in clear terms its intended areas of inspection. This outline then gives the inspected parties the ability to cooperate fully with the inspection officials, while also affording them the power to withhold information outside the ambit of the Commission's inspection. Additionally, the Commission must be able to show reasonable grounds for investigating the subject matter in question.
Scope of The Dawn Raids in The Present Cases
The Court found that the Commission had properly delimited their inspection to all electric cables and all the material associated with those cables. It appeared from a Commission press release following the raid, however, that the Commission had only been interested in information on the supply of underwater and underground electric cables. This was reinforced by an analysis of the persons at the inspected companies to whom the Commission was interested in talking, as well as information from the leniency applicant that had incited the inspection in the first place. The GC concluded that the Commission didn't have reasonable grounds to inspect all types of electrical cable, and should therefore have confined its investigation to underwater and underground electric cables only. It thus annulled the Commission's decision authorising these dawn raids.
Practical Outcome
On one hand, it is clear that the Commission must expressly limit the areas of its inspection to areas where it has reasonable grounds for suspecting anti-competitive activity. Companies that are subject to a dawn raid should therefore note carefully the scope of the inspection outlined in the decision authorising the raid, and their corresponding obligation to cooperate within this scope. Any indication of a narrowing (or indeed, widening) of this scope should be duly noted by companies.
On the other hand, it is not clear as to what will happen to the evidence obtained illegally, as the GC didn't rule on this point. The issue of whether this evidence can be used in tangible anti-competitive actions is still unresolved.

The Deputy Chairman of Oyo State chapter of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, Abideen Olajide, and the state auditor, Kasali Lawal, have alleged threat to their lives.
On Wednesday, there was a rumour in the state that the Chairman, Taofeek Oyerinde, aka Fele, had been impeached by a faction of the union who were opposed to his leadership style.
A letter from Adebayo Adegbite & Co Legal Practitioners, dated July 30, 2014, which was also copied to the governor, the state Commissioner of Police, Director of the State Security Service and the National President of the union, Najeem Yasin, alleged that there were threats to the lives of Olajide and Lawal.
The two NURTW executives later told journalists that Oyerinde was using his position to enrich himself, instead of protecting the union and the welfare of members. Lawal accused the union chairman of improper accountability and embezzlement of the union's fund.
He added that other executive members, drivers and other members in motor parks across the state were being made to suffer because of the chairman's attitude.
The Deputy-Chairman said, "We have not enjoying anything in this government. He has always been taking the available resources at every available opportunity, forgetting that a tree does not make a forest. We have been tolerating him in the belief that he would turn a new leaf but we have been pushed to the wall and we can no longer stomach his unbridled love for cornering available money to the union at the expense of the generality of members."
In his reaction, Oyerinde said he was not after the life of anybody. He also denied all allegations against him.
He said, "They are the ones with insatiable greed, especially my deputy who wants to unseat me at all cost. I am a peace-loving chairman and my reign has been very peaceful," he said.

While I do think you cannot address a complex problem which is multifactorial with one procedure, I do think if you look in Europe, you will find they operate on "normal" bone all of the time. Barouk in particular and also Ronconi advocate making the parabola normal. This is based on data and physics. They will often perform osteotomies on all the metatarsals, even if the symptom is only on the 2nd ray.
I agree the Weil osteotomy, when used in isolation, is probably over utilized but I think it is better to have a toe that does not purchase than a painful one when walking. One must address all of the biomechanical issues of the patient. Looking at equinus is very important in this regard.

Ethanol's Threat to the Environment
The unintended consequences of ethanol subsidies, per a new report by the National Research Council:
… agricultural shifts to growing corn and expanding biofuel crops into regions with little agriculture, especially dry areas, could change current irrigation practices and greatly increase pressure on water resources in many parts of the
. … United States
… The switch from other crops or noncrop plants to corn would likely lead to much higher application rates of highly soluble nitrogen, which could migrate to drinking water wells, rivers, and streams, the committee said. When not removed from water before consumption, high levels of nitrate and nitrite—products of nitrogen fertilizers—could have significant health impacts.
Nutrient and sediment pollution in streams and rivers could also both be attributed to soil erosion. High sedimentation rates carry financial consequences as they increase the cost of often-mandatory dredging for transportation and recreation.

Ask TV Squad: TV shows on DVD
To submit questions to the "Ask TV Squad" column, you can post them below in comments or email them to firstname.lastname@example.com.
This week, I answer questions about TV shows on DVD.
The real reason The Unit was cancelled
Earlier this week, I told you about the real reason Without A Trace was cancelled. Now, executive producer Shawn Ryan reveals the real reason The Unit was cancelled. "Listen, if the show had been owned by Paramount and Medium had been owned by 20th Century Fox, we'd be making the fifth season of The Unit now." You see, TV fans, it's comes down to money. CBS owns Paramount so it would earn more in the long run if The Unit made more episodes, went into syndication and reaped revenues for years to come. However, Fox owns The Unit. Get it?
Six other politicians who have had their ways paved by TV actors
My first thought upon hearing this news was that Dennis Haysbert is obviously insane. Since I've been criticized in this space for not having an open mind about insane things, I decided to take Mr. Haysbert at his word. I then went even further and went to work putting together a list of other politicians who exist mainly due to the hard work done for them by TV actors. After researching Wikipedia for almost a full fifteen minutes, this is the list I've managed to put together...
Dennis Haysbert says he paved the way for Obama
A lot of people have wondered if Haysbert's brave, commanding President David Palmer influenced the way people are thinking about Obama. Dennis Haysbert has now weighed in, and he believes that his role on 24 made a difference.
"My portrayal of David Palmer may have helped open the eyes of the American people," he told the AP.
"I mean the American people across the board - from the poorest to the richest, every color and creed, every religious base - to prove the possibility there could be an African-American president, a female president, any type of president that puts the people first," he goes on to say.
SpongeBob, Dexter and Tigger present my favorite holiday video of all - VIDEO
I am not one for the traditional holiday fare constantly repeated on television at this time of year (although, I am a sucker for It's A Wonderful Life, and regularly tear up at the very end. Damn you, Frank Capra!) That's why I am very grateful for sites like YouTube, which provide me with an alternative to my holiday viewing. Because of that monster video web site I am able to watch, over and over and over again, perhaps one of my most favorite holiday videos: Twas the Night Before Christmas recited by numerous voice actors.
Yes, I may enjoy this because I am a voiceover wonk, but I just think it's the coolest thing. Not only do you get to hear the story told by great voice actors like Jim Cummings, Gary Owens, Billy West, and Don LaFontaine, but you also get to match the voices you have heard on your television during a normal day with actual faces. In addition, you get to see some television actors -- Nate Corddry and Dennis Haysbert, to name just two -- doing their thing behind the microphone.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. You can view the video after the clip.
The Unit season three -- An early look
Over the weekend, I had the chance to watch the first two episodes of the season: "Pandemonium, Parts One and Two." The first part will air tomorrow, while the other will air on October 2.
Small spoilers ahead!
Dennis Haysbert 'disappointed' with this season of 24
Dennis Haysbert told the Philadelphia Daily News that not only did he regret filming the assassination scene in last season's 24, but he's also not keen on this season's installment of the counter-terrorism thriller.
Haysbert -- who played President David Palmer on 24 but now stars in CBS' The Unit -- came back to 24 to film Palmer's assassination, something he says he now wishes he hadn't done. "It was a device that I didn't think was necessary," he said.
Haysbert also criticized his former show, saying he thinks that the program may have lost its way. "I started to watch it this season, and, you know, I'm just a little disappointed in its direction," he told the Daily News, adding that, although he's still a fan, "the politics has been skewed in a very, very right-wing way."
CBS to air 'encore' episode of The Unit
The sad thing about this is the general consensus (and Jonathan's review) that The Unit really sucks, while Sons & Daughters is terrific (just ask Joel).
New programs for March 5-11
- Pros Vs. Joes, Mondays @ 10pm on Spike (premieres March 6)
- Ordinary people face off against pro athletes like Karl Malone, Bo Jackson, Jerry Rice, Jennie Finch, etc. This is for sports fans with big mouths.
- The Unit, Tuesdays @ 9 on CBS (premieres March 7)
- Dennis Haysbert returns to action-packed television, this time as the leader of a
special ops team that goes on risky missions across the globe. The show is about the missions, but also about how the
families at home handle the stress of living in secret. Produced by David Mamet.

Social Branding
A Young & Rubicam survey found that the percentage of brands that consumers considered trustworthy dropped from 52 percent to 22 percent over a decade. Why?
Until recently there was an impression that many brands were kept behind closed doors, vacuum-sealed for freshness; completely inaccessible behind zillion dollar campaigns. They've been aided and abetted by marketing companies in controlling the customer relationship by keeping them largely at arms length.
But then along came social media – the great equaliser – and now the walls are coming down and brands have no choice but to reveal their true colours. The customer has the power, and they're no longer willing to engage with the brand unless it's on their terms. So brand trust must be earned every day.
And this will be a big ask for many brands. A Young & Rubicam survey found that the percentage of brands that consumers considered trustworthy dropped from 52 percent to 22 percent over a decade.
Young & Rubicam chief consumer insights officer John Gerzema says that consumers have moved from "mindless consumption to mindful consumption." So what does this mean? It means that consumers now spend more time researching and more importantly talking about a product before making a purchasing decision.
Whether their hands have been forced is irrelevant, savvy brand strategists and marketers are starting to 'get it'; recognising their brands need to be transparent and behave accordingly in order to regain the consumers trust.
Executive board chairman Piet van Schijndel from insurance company Interpolis said:
"we had to let go of the old-fashioned concept of an organization built on mistrust and rules. Instead, we started focusing on trust between people; between ourselves and our customers and between the management and
the staff."
Interpolis threw out the conventional 'we are the brand, we tell you what's what' model, and instead of asking customers to provide receipts and questioning their claims, decided they would trust them. The results were:
1. greater operational efficiency
2. a decline in the number of claims
So how do you regain trust in your brand?
1. Speak easy: industry speak is not the language of persuasion. In fact it turns people off. Linkedin, blogs, Facebook and Twitter have created immediate connections with your audience and while it's great to have your own 'voice' don't ruin it by speaking as if you're from outer space.
2. Treat content as king: we see somewhere between 250–6,000+ messages every day. While 'advertising blindness' is alive and well, the development of strong content is a direct response to customer demand for honesty and transparency. What you say and how you say it will enhance customer perception of your brand. How do you know what to talk about? First you need to listen – check out point 5.
3. Talk to them: in case you haven't already realised, the brand is not and never has been what you say it is. It's what your employees and customers say it is. So to understand what they want, create a fantastic product or service and then allow them to choose the platform to share with the world what they love most about your brand. Shift your thinking from transaction to interaction.
4. Way it goes: Kevin Spacey's character in Swimming With Sharks gave a brilliant speech about the perception that life isn't fair. This it seems is what scares most corporates about social media – the uncontrollable. However, this shouldn't stop brands from trying new things. If you stop trying, then you're not engaging. And if you're not engaging, you're what? You're dead. Sure there are going to be successes and failures but that's the way it goes.
5. Ear to the ground: pre-social media; market research may have identified your customer as Caucasian, male 26-30, single, earning $65k+. Post social media his name is Derek, he flats with his gf of 4 years, has a cat named after the captain of his favourite rugby team and is considered a key influencer within his group of 300+ friends on Facebook. Your customer is more than a set of statistics, they have the potential to be your greatest source of insight and inspiration.
Just remember if your brand isn't social you can bet that your competitors' is… or at the very least is planning to be.

Improvements of Ping i20 Irons
By maomao12 on Sep 25, 2012 05:31 AM
At the year of 2012, no matter the golf lovers or manufactures are trying to find the new golf clubs, then with the prevalent of 2011 Ping i20 cheap golf clubs, and the Pingi20 golf clubs will be a new trend in the golfing world. When and where the 2012 Pingi20 golf clubs will be shown to the market, from the one of the biggest forum in the world mygolfspy we can get the most of the information.
It is unbelievable to produce Ping i20 golf clubs at the very beginning, so it seems like the rumors about these new Ping i20 irons have been swirling since the day after the Ping i15's were released. Recently, a Ping staffer Lee Westwood has draw some pics of what new PING i20 irons will look like for 2012, which will be the most beautiful club Ping ever made. And the feeling in it is just awesome.
Performance is optimized in the i20 multi-metal irons through a progressive set design. The long irons are slightly larger, high launching and more forgiving. The smaller short irons feature less offset and provide exceptional control. Distance control and a solid feel come from a thicker than normal hitting area and stabilizing bars in the cavity.
A high-density tungsten toe weight provides forgiveness across the face for accurate results and a high-launch, low-spin trajectory. An innovative design gives you complete command of the online golf clubs face for controlling trajectory and shot shape. The black-and-silver color scheme and satin-chrome finish with a ferrule offer a clean, professional look.
Thats right, the clubs set is precisely the Ping i20 Irons. However, we all know, more haste less speed. It could take some time before you really realize your dream on the course with i20 Irons, so just keep fighting!

The animal liberation movement has grown from humble beginnings
into an international force for change. In the past decade,
grassroots organizations have sprouted up in areas of the
world previously barren of animal rights activity. This spread
of ideas and action is inspiring, and perhaps no recent victory
has been as inspiring as the "Battle for the Beagles"
in Croatia.
In early July, Croatian activists heard rumors that a shipment
of beagle puppies had arrived at the Faculty of Veterinary
Medicine in Zagreb. Further investigation quickly proved the
rumors were true: The beagles had come from a supplier in
Italy. A student working undercover in the labs sent pictures
of the beagles to Animal Friends Croatia. The group decided
the situation was urgent and immediately contacted activists
around the country asking them to attend a demonstration the
very next day, July 13th. The media gave excellent coverage
to the protests, and soon the cause of these beagles was a
top news story around Croatia.
Once the media became involved, facts about the experiments
began to surface rapidly. It was discovered that the dogs
were being held in quarantine until they would be shipped
to the University of Zagreb Medical School. Once there, their
bones would be broken to test morphogenic bone protein, a
substance already tested numerous times on both animals and
humans. Furthermore, documents filed by the University's
faculty were found to be falsified, vague or missing necessary
signatures. Within 24 hours of the first protest, 70 more
people from around the country descended on the school demanding
answers and freedom for the beagles.
With the school facing a public relations nightmare, its
Dean, Dr. Liljana Pinter, contacted animal rights organizations
and began assuring them a full investigation would take place.
Activists announced that an investigation was not enough and
planned a loud demonstration for later in the week. Every
major media outlet announced the protest, and when it arrived
500 people were present with banners and bullhorns in the
streets of Zagreb.
By now the organizers had discovered the names of the vivisectors
responsible for bringing the beagles to Croatia. Professor
Antun Brkic and Professor Slobodan Vukicevic quickly become
villains to compassionate people across the country. The protest
was an amazing success, but the following day it was discovered
that Prof. Brkic had already illegally begun the experiment.
Luckily, the Dean of the school kept her promise. She suspended
the professor and allowed Animal Friends of Croatia to guard
the dogs 24 hours a day. News media joined them, and soon
people from the area came to join the vigil. Even the Croatia's
president, Stjepan Mesic, sent his best wishes for the beagles.
Soon the pressure on the university was too great and they
announced that all of the beagles would be turned over to
animal rights groups for rehoming!
All of the dogs were soon placed in new homes while cameras
documented this historic victory. For the first time people
across Croatia were asked to seriously consider the rights
of animals, and they responded with surprising empathy. In
a recent poll, 92% of Croatians said they do not believe animal
tests are necessary.
This is not the end of the story, however. One month after
the beagles escaped to a better life their new human companions
brought them all back together to be re-united. The dogs are
all recovering well, although some of them were badly injured
in the labs. Animal Friends Croatia is fighting for criminal
prosecutions of many faculty members and is continuing to
use protest and education to smash speciesism.
This news story was complied from online accounts of the
protests as well as articles written by Anita Euschen and
Bernard Vjeran Franolic of Animal Friends Croatia. For more

No, The Grammys aren't coming to Oklahoma City.
Neither is the circus or the rodeo.
OK, so the rodeo is but that's nothing new around here and it's not what's kicking the Oklahoma City Thunder out of its home arena for two weeks in January.
No, The Grammys aren't coming to Oklahoma City.
Neither is the circus or the rodeo.
OK, so the rodeo is but that's nothing new around here and it's not what's kicking the Oklahoma City Thunder out of its home arena for two weeks in January.
A scheduling quirk force-fed the Thunder a taste of what Chicago and Los Angeles and San Antonio each experience annually — a long and arduous road trip that has become a staple in their schedules.
When the NBA released the league-wide schedule for the 2012-13 season Thursday night, it was that peculiarity that popped off the page listing the reigning Western Conference champions slate.
From Jan. 6-27, the Thunder will play 11 of 13 games away from Chesapeake Energy Arena. The 11 road games are a record number for any month since the Thunder relocated to Oklahoma City, besting last January's total by two.
The six straight road games the Thunder is scheduled to play from Jan. 18-27 also is a record for most consecutive road games. Last season, the Thunder had two five-game trips. In each of the first three seasons the Thunder never had a road trip lasting more than four games.
Despite no major event being held in Chesapeake Energy Arena, the Thunder will have to overcome a stretch similar to the Bulls' annual "Circus Trip," the Spurs' annual "Rodeo Trip" and the Lakers and Clippers' annual "Grammy Trip."
But it could be worse for the Thunder.
The Grammys will put the Lakers on the road for seven straight games from Jan. 30-Feb. 10. The same music festival will send the Clippers packing for eight straight games from Jan. 30-Feb. 11. And the Spurs must vacate their home building for nine straight games from Feb. 6-24 because of the rodeo.
It's unclear exactly why the Thunder will play six straight road games and 11 in January. Each team provides the league available arena dates every year and the league-wide schedule is built off that. This year's quirk could be a result of other teams' buildings having a small window of availability for the Thunder to play in those venues. As of late Thursday night, the calendar on the website for Chesapeake Energy Arena showed no events scheduled for January.
Of course, there is then the simpler matter of balance.
Because 18 of the Thunder's first 30 games are at home, Oklahoma City naturally must make up the road games at some point. It perhaps begins to explain why 11 of the Thunder's 16 January games are on the road.
But scheduling isn't expected to slow down a Thunder squad seeking to avenge its humbling loss to Miami in the NBA Finals.
After finishing 47-19 a year ago, the Thunder will open the 2012-13 campaign with a nationally televised TNT game on Thursday, Nov. 1 at San Antonio in a rematch of last year's Western Conference Finals.
It will be one of a record 25 nationally televised games the Thunder will play this season across major networks TNT, ESPN and ABC. Oklahoma City also will be featured on NBA TV five times this year.
The Thunder will make its home debut one night later against Northwest Division rival Portland.
Notable games include Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and the Clippers making their lone appearance inside Chesapeake Energy Arena on Wednesday, Nov. 21 for an ESPN game.
Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash and the Lakers visit on Friday, Dec. 7 for an ESPN game and again on Tuesday, March 5 for a TNT game.

50 Years After the Crash – Remembering Patsy Cline, Cowboy Copas & Hawkshaw Hawkins
By Eileen Sisk
© 2013 CMA Close Up® News Service / Country Music Association®, Inc.
The Grand Ole Opry suffered the biggest loss of talent in its 87-year history when a small plane carrying Patsy Cline, Cowboy Copas and Hawkshaw Hawkins, along with Cline's manager Randy Hughes, crashed on the evening of March 5, 1963, in a heavily wooded area roughly 100 miles west of Nashville.
The singers had performed at a benefit on March 3, in Kansas City, Kan., for the family of radio DJ "Cactus" Jack Call, who had died in a car accident a little more than a month earlier. Foggy weather kept them from flying out immediately, and they had to wait a day before they could leave.
Operator error was cited as the cause of the crash because Hughes was not instrument-rated and took off despite warnings of severe windy conditions after a fuel stop in Dyersburg, Tenn. The clock on the plane stopped at 6:18:15 p.m., while Cline's wristwatch stopped almost 17 minutes later at 6:30 p.m. Continue Reading

Residents and officials in Atherton, Woodside and Menlo Park have let their opposition be known. Portola Valley's contribution came Wednesday, Nov. 10, at a council meeting before a group of about 30 residents of The Sequoias retirement community at 501 Portola Road. (The council meets at The Sequoias about once a year, usually in the fall.)
Jon Silver, a former mayor and former San Mateo County planning commissioner, captured the mood as the first speaker in the public comment period. "There are certain ideas that are so bad that you just don't need to study them much," he said. "The days of pillaging the Bay for money ought to be over. ... If we can't oppose something this bad, we might as well pack it up."
There could be as many as 19 regional and six federal agencies with oversight, including the town of Woodside (which borders Redwood City), according to a 99-page study by the Redwood City Planning, Housing and Economic Development Department. Portola Valley is not listed but as a member of the public, the town can submit comments ahead of the Feb. 28 deadline for this first stage in a lengthy environmental study.
On Dec. 8, the Portola Valley council also plans to take a step that the Woodside council considered but declined: issuing a strongly worded resolution in opposition to the project.
A staff report recommended that Portola Valley monitor Woodside's ongoing monitoring of the project, but that idea faded after members of the public reminded the council of Portola Valley's view of itself as an environmental leader.
"It's not Portola Valley and Woodside. It's Portola Valley," resident Ward Paine said. "It's not Palo Alto. It's Portola Valley. We have more stroke than the 4,500 people who live here. What we do will be a lot more important that what other people do."
"It's not a time to meditate," added resident Marilyn Walter. "It's a time to act."
Climate-change-induced sea level rises "should be a far more important element in this discussion than it has been," said Portola Valley resident Marion Softky.
Council views
"I can't believe we're sitting here and that this (project) is even a possibility," said councilman and architect John Richards after the public had spoken.
Councilwoman Maryann Derwin, who summarized the topic for the council ahead of the discussion, noted that she has read the Redwood City study. "After I was done, I was even more alarmed than when I began," she said. The traffic in and out of the communities would be "a nightmare."
Fresh water would come via a swap with Kern County, where the developer owns water rights for up to 70 years, but getting it to Redwood City will require the participation of intermediary public agencies that get their water from the Hetch Hetchy reservoir and the San Joaquin Valley, Ms. Derwin said.
The project's location on a salt flat would necessitate a levee, she added. The study describes a perimeter levee 14 feet high, including an extra 4 feet to deal with "anticipated sea-level rise."
Go to tinyurl.com/CargillStudy for a copy of the study.
A U.S. Geological Survey map depicts the site as bright red, Ms. Derwin noted, meaning that it's vulnerable to seismic rupture and liquefaction — sedimentary soil liquefying by a sudden infusion of ground water.
Ms. Derwin contended that a combination of a major earthquake and a break in the levee could be disastrous for that community.
Liquefaction is a problem, resident and geophysicist Sheldon Breiner said in an interview, but such land can be made safe by piling on soil and driving long stabilizing posts deep into the ground. "There are solutions to it, but it takes money and it takes engineering," he said.
Significant impacts
The study lists 17 categories of concern (such as air quality and biological resources), which are subdivided into 88 issues. Of that total, 72 (82 percent) are listed as potentially significant, including all of the issues identified for air and water quality, biological and cultural resources, greenhouse gas emissions, population and housing, public services and recreation.
While this list looks foreboding, the study noted, preparing an environmental impact report requires such an explicit listing of issues.
"Many of the potentially significant impacts identified in this checklist could be avoided through changes in design or mitigation, both of which will be developed during preparation of the EIR," the report says. "Agencies are encouraged to submit comments proposing mitigation measures to address impacts subject to their jurisdiction or expertise."

News Release
Auto thefts in Bellevue drop by 35 percent
And city is ranked 57th safest in U.S.
An aggressive campaign against car thieves by Bellevue Police is paying off, with auto theft dropping by 35 percent in the first half of 2006. There were 199 car thefts in the city over the first six months of this year, compared to 308 in that same period in 2005.
The International Association of Chiefs of Police this month recognized the city's efforts by awarding Bellevue Police its 2006 Vehicle Theft Award of Merit. Police Chief Jim Montgomery will present the award to members of the Police Department at tonight's City Council meeting.
Meanwhile, Bellevue has been ranked the 57th safest city in America, according to the 2006 edition of City Crime Rankings due to be released Wednesday.
While most crime has been dropping in Bellevue, auto theft had been rising since 2002, from 545 that year to a high of 607 in 2004. As a result, all divisions in the Police Department, from detectives to bike officers to crime lab technicians, began focusing on car thieves.
At National Night Out and other occasions, officers educated the public about how to protect their cars from theft. Detectives also pursue leads and conduct surveillance beyond Bellevue's boundaries to apprehend the worst offenders in the city and region. One suspect, arrested in Pierce County, complained that he had stopped coming to Bellevue, but was getting arrested anyway.
"Bellevue is becoming known as a place not to steal cars," said Chief Jim Montgomery. "The Special Enforcement Team began operations late in the summer of 2005, and we began to implement many of the community-based actions the last half of that year. I suspect that accounts for the beginning of the downward trend in later 2005, with the real drop kicking into gear the first half of this year."
The drop in auto thefts in Bellevue, at a time when car thefts are a growing problem regionally, can be attributed to a combined effort across several disciplines.
Enforcement: The Special Enforcement Team (mostly plain-clothes detectives who target offenders tied to recurring crimes) and property and auto crimes detectives have tracked down prolific vehicle crimes offenders. Additionally, patrol officers process the scene of vehicle crimes, including fingerprinting, and bike officers patrol car theft hot spots.
Technology: Police employ "bait cars," portable agent alarms, covert cameras and other technological tools to watch, even when no one is around. Crime lab analysis and processing links offenders to multiple crimes, resulting in higher bail and longer sentences. Crime analysis generates bulletins and area watch lists that keep officers informed of the most active offenders and their preferred methods.
Education: During the 2005 Night Out event, officers instructed more than 2,000 people how to protect against car theft. Community station officers continue this activity year-round by giving informational meetings, providing flyers and tips and contacting businesses to gain cooperation with good lighting, signage and landscaping in their areas. At the Community Academy, offered twice a year, people who live or work in Bellevue can take a series of classes taught by Department experts on a variety of subjects.
Prosecution: Bellevue Police have worked closely with the King County Prosecutor's Office to ensure that suspects face high bail while awaiting trial and receive longer sentences. The Department cited the assistance of three prosecutors in particular: Shaya Calvo, Alexandra Voorhees and Doug Young.
Bellevue's success in all forms of crime prevention is reflected in its ranking as the 57th safest city in the United States, according to City Crime Rankings, an annual reference book of crime statistics published by Morgan Quitno Press. Bellevue was the only city in Washington included among the top 100 safe cities in the country.

I was going to put this in Plus Size, but I figure it will be a good 'point to ponder' for everyone.
Look at this picture
ALL these ladies weigh around 154 pounds, the Aussie Average.
Look at all the different shapes, types of body, all weighing the same amount.
Everyone may want to take a moment to reflect in this image next time they make assumptions on a riders, or anyone else's weight.

Rated 5 out of 5�by 2808Crows Solid with good control Great racquet for the money. My daughter is a beginner and loves it. October 15, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by TheRelic You Get What You Pay For... I played with this racquet ONCE and it started to break. The plastic rivets started to fall out of the string holes. Lost probably six of them. Not good. Spend a bit more and avoid the hassle. April 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by timhurl Wilson HYPERion Racquetball Racquet Good racquet for the price. Not sure it actually provides "twice the strength and durability." Not sure who measures that. April 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Bonsang7 Hyperion Good. Light little small. And fragile. After one week the outside molding cracked on mine. April 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Zach :) I have been playing r-ball for about 7 weeks once a week - this has been my first racquet and overall, I have really enjoyed it. It is a relatively heavier racquet, but only because it's beginner, but my fellow players say mine is the lightest; this is because it slices through the air with less force needed then theirs due to a reduced surface area. It is sturdy and hasn't broken which is good after reading many other racquet reviews. However, it's not very powerful and the grip is a little slippery (I'd recommend you play with a glove or a handle sleeve), but that's ok: you need to learn how to control a racquet before you play with one with a lot of power. If you're looking for the ideal beginner racquet that's good for the money: this is the one to buy. March 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by ctnavyman Great Racquet Feel great and very lightweight, Great for beginner or intermediate players. Great value for the price. December 9, 2013

Uttaranchali Holi (Kumaoni Holi)
The uniqueness of the Kumaoni Holi lies in its being a musical affair, whichever may be its form, be it the Baithki Holi, the Khari Holi or the Mahila Holi. The Baithki Holi and Khari Holi are unique in that the songs on which they are based have touch of melody, fun and spiritualism. These songs are essentially based on classical ragas. No wonder then the Baithki Holi is also known as Nirvan Ki Holi.
The Baithki Holi begins from the premises of temples, where Holiyars (the professional singers of Holi songs) as also the people gather to sing songs to the accompaniment of classical music.
Kumaonis are very particular about the time when the songs based on ragas should be sung. For instance, at noon the songs based on Peelu, Bhimpalasi and Sarang ragas are sung while evening is reserved for the songs based on the ragas like Kalyan, Shyamkalyan and Yaman etc.
The Khari Holi is mostly celebrated in the rural areas of Kumaon. The songs of the Khari Holi are sung by the people, who sporting traditional white churidar payajama and kurta, dance in groups to the tune of ethnic musical instruments.

State police arrested two Fort Drum men Wednesday on third-degree burglary charges in connection with a rental locker unit intrusion discovered on Oct. 13 in which guns were stolen.
Richard E. Reinhardt II, 22, and Dominic M. Walters, 22, were being held Thursday in the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building, with bail set for each at $5,000 by LeRay Town Justice George E. Mead III. They await possible grand jury action.
Police allege that they cut locks to enter a storage unit at U Lock It Storage, 26842 Holbrook Road, Evans Mills, and stole a bolt-action rifle, a scoped semi-automatic rifle, a shotgun, a 2009 all-terrain vehicle, an ATV helmet and a socket set, according to a document filed with the court. The items belong to locker renter Nicholas A. Lichner, Fort Drum.
The owner of the locker units, Walter H. VanTassel, told police he found locks cut to 14 lockers, and there was $400 in damage caused to 10 lockers.

Boxes, boxes, boxes. Is there no end? So far, I've emptied lots and still can't find anything.
One of the first things I missed was a hair dryer. I had three three of them, including a new one still in the box. I dug through numerous boxes and couldn't find one so I let my hair air-dry the first time. A couple of days later I found one but it doesn't work very well. After about 30 seconds, it overheats and shuts off. Why didn't I get rid of it before moving?
A few days later, I found the new one. It works fine. One more is hiding somewhere but should turn up eventually. ...

Evoking Change through Uplifting ActionDecember 16th, 2008 by John Wolfe
As is customary for me, when PBS goes into pledge drive mode, my TV spends more time on than it does off. During these pledge drives, you'll find public television airing more personal development and spiritually based programming. Several days ago, they featured a self-help seminar, titled: The Traveler's Gift, by Andy Andrews. I first became aware of Andy through his book, Storms of Perfection, in which he shared the personal success stories (which stemmed from the repeated "failures" and persistent drive) of many well known celebrities, athletes and business people.
The point of Andy's PBS special was to reinforce the idea that each and every one of our actions, no matter how trivial they seem, create an impact; not only in our life but in the lives of so many others – even to the point of reaching future generations.
As Andy stated, "There are generations yet unborn, whose existence depends on the choices you make and the action you take. Because everything you do matters – every move you make, every action you take; not just for you; not just for your family or hometown – everything you do matters for all of us, forever."
After shutting off the television, I began feeling for how Andy's words resonated with me and how I'm applying them in my own life:
When we take any action, it not only has a direct impact on that which we are acting upon, but it also has an impact upon unknown or unseen (to us) variables, far removed from our immediate vicinity. For example, let's take a look at a small derogatory action, such as someone throwing the finger to a fellow driver in traffic.
We assume a gesture such as that only has a direct, relevant impact in that very short moment in time. Rarely do we contemplate the kind of negative momentum that action may create in the life of the recipient, and in the lives of each individual the recipient comes into contact with after that moment, and in turn, each person those people come into contact with. Such a simple gesture can affect the mood and mindset of an individual in a manner far greater than we realize and that mood and mindset will determine their follow-up actions towards others. During the course of a single event, our activities have the potential to impact anywhere from a handful of people to thousands or even millions.
Every one of our actions and deeds creates a ripple effect throughout humanity and the Universe itself, sometimes enacting small outcomes, and at other times enacting greater ones, but the point is they all create an impact and they all count. When we take that into consideration, it becomes more important to consistently perform more conscious acts.
It may seem silly to think something as insignificant as gesturing with our middle finger can change the course of events for a multitude of individuals, but that (in a way) is exactly what it does. You see, the web of existence is so interconnected and intertwined that there is not one single action or deed which can escape causing an impact in our lives and in the lives of so many others. Everything was designed that way for a very good reason: to show us just how our choices can either benefit us greatly as we recognize and promote our unity, or else how they can harm us immensely as we react from a fear based belief in separation.
So, we have to ask ourselves, are the majority of our actions spurring on something positive in others or are they eliciting the opposite response? Of course, we each have to take responsibility for our deeds. Just because we perform a rude gesture doesn't grant the recipient of that gesture cart blanche for treating anyone they encounter badly. But, it does need to make us more conscientious of our own behavior, whether we are the recipient or the giver. And, once we understand this principle and how far reaching it can be, we owe it to ourselves and others to be more conscientious. Another beautiful thing about embracing this knowledge is the fact we naturally become less reactive (more on this later) when we are on the receiving end of a rude gesture or unkind act.
Coming to the understanding of this concept was not difficult for me, but actually knowing it in my core has taken a while longer; not because I didn't care about what I did to others, but, because I spent many years not caring about myself. I used to suffer from extremely low self-esteem. As a child, it was so bad; I heavily identified with the character Little Jackie Paper from "Puff the Magic Dragon."
That may sound sort of humorous, but in essence, I felt paper thin and ineffective, so I assumed my actions and deeds counted for very little and had almost no impact on anyone else. This assumption was derived from my own internal views and judgments about my worth. Since I didn't care about myself, how could I assume someone so "unimportant" could ever impact others (who I believed to be more alive and consequential)?
Developing an understanding, regarding the impact and brevity of the actions we take, is a natural byproduct of learning to love and respect ourselves and appreciate who we are. Our actions can only be as beneficial or as detrimental as the beliefs we retain in our internal landscape. As we strive to experience more internal growth, through self-love, forgiveness and understanding, we will naturally feel the desire to primarily perform positive external acts and deeds; not because it's "right" or in abidance with social or religious law, but because it feels natural. In fact, it will become second nature to us, without trying to force it or even having to think about it because it will be a reflection of who we are internally.
Taking positive, impactful action is not about being a people pleaser or doing it for attention. Performing "good" deeds to please others or to show off and garner praise also stems from an inner place of doubting our own value. Performing uplifting, life affirming action should come from a place of truly wanting to make a difference and help others, while simultaneously respecting yourself.
One of my favorite lines from the book, Way of the Peaceful Warrior states: "A [peaceful] warrior acts, only a fool reacts." The same can be said of creating positive action. If we are already in the internal place of peace and love, then we will act without being prompted (from social pressure) into doing so. People pleasing and performing good deeds for attention are not conscious action; they're an unconscious reaction propelled by the fear of not fitting in or not feeling worthy of the attention we hope to gain from those we are trying to please. The same can be said of performing a negative or vengeful, detrimental deed – it's not an action, but a reaction from a very fearful place.
As I speak of making a positive impact, I'm not necessarily referring to huge gestures. They can be extremely small, yet extremely effective. Just as something as seemingly miniscule as throwing the finger can negatively impact others in a big way; a smile, wave, pat on the back or a kind, sincere word can have a pronounced, beneficial impact on the life of the recipient and the lives of those he or she comes into contact with. Imagine the sort of change we would see if each of us received and passed on that type of interaction, with everyone on a daily basis.
Most people think it's ridiculous to assume each one of us can actually change the world through caring, uplifting gestures (both big and small). I'll say this: it takes just as much (if not less) physical effort to generate a beneficial act as it does to carry out an action full of anger or hate. The amount of effort required is not what's preventing us from completely shifting the current world paradigm at the grand scale. Nor is the change slow in coming because we are pinned down by a lack of sufficient supplies.
Everything we need to accomplish this goal already exists in abundant quantity (be it material items or our own kind words). The woman/man power is there. The resources are there. The infrastructures are there. What's missing is the internal decision (on the part of each person) to move toward that which is represented by love, peace and an uplifting spirit. If we choose to not be internally responsible for how we feel about ourselves and others – as it's represented by the actions we take – we will never see beneficial change in our own lives or in the planet at large. It all starts from within.
The size of the gesture is a relative thing. If we each do what we can (and then just a little bit more) from where we are, the rest will take care of itself. That's the beauty in this interconnected web of existence.
Andy Andrews is absolutely right – "…everything you do matters – every move you make, every action you take; not just for you; not just for your family or hometown – everything you do matters for all of us, forever."

SNELLVILLE - Brookwood High School had a somber start to a new semester, as students, teachers and administrators mourned the loss of two of the school's students.Over the school's two-week winter break, freshman Andrew Sezonov and sophomore Chun Xiao "Leo" Huang died in separate traffic accidents. Principal Jane Stegall addressed students this week about the impact of the two deaths on the Brookwood community. The school also had a moment of silence at the end of the school day Wednesday to remember Sezonov and Huang. School counselors visited the classes of the two students throughout the day to help friends and classmates deal with the loss. "Counselors continue to be available in the event a student wants or needs to talk," said Sloan Roach, spokeswoman for the school district. Sezonov, 15, was killed Dec. 19 in a car wreck on Hewatt Road in Lilburn. The car veered off the road and struck a road sign. It hit several objects on the roadside before overturning, said Officer Darren Moloney, spokesman for the Gwinnett Police Department. The 17-year-old driver, Jason Cory Michael, lived. But Sezenov passed away hours after being taken to the Gwinnett Medical Center. Just two days later, Huang died from injuries in a motorcycle crash on Ga. Highway 115 in Cleveland, Ga. He was a passenger on a 2005 Suzuki motorcycle driven by Ziyang Zhu when it crashed into a Jeep Cherokee. Zhu also died shortly after being taken by a helicopter to to be treated in Greenville, S.C.

Gene-swapping vaccines spawn lethal poultry virus: experts
Posted By aaron On July 14, 2012 @ 12:46 pm In Medical Tyranny,Old Infowars Posts Style,Tile | Comments Disabled
July 14, 2012
Three vaccines used to prevent respiratory disease in chickens have swapped genes, producing two lethal new strains that have killed tens of thousands of fowl across two states in Australia, scientists reported on Friday.
The creation of the deadly new variant was only possible because the vaccines contained live viruses, even though they were weakened forms, said Joanne Devlin, lead author of the paper published in the journal Science.
Devlin and her team discovered how closely related the two new strains were with viruses in the vaccines after analysing their genes.
"What we found was the field viruses … were actually a mixture of the genomes from different vaccine viruses," said Devlin, a lecturer at the University of Melbourne's School of Veterinary Science. "They actually combined, mixed together."

Police brutality against pro-family protestors in France
Catholic World News - July 10, 2013
Two dozen members of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe recently signed a statement decrying police actions against pro-family protestors in France.
"Hundreds of walkers and protesters were brutalized, gassed, arbitrarily arrested and jailed for 24 hours and more," the lawmakers stated in reference to protests in recent months. "Reports from lawyers and NGOs indicate that more than 600 individuals have been arrested and jailed."
The Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians, which documents anti-Christian actions in Europe, reported that "tear gas attacks and beatings by the police, arbitrary arrests, solitary confinement, illegal fingerprint storing, and countless other human rights violations were conducted by the French [police] against peaceful mass demonstration opposing government policy on gay marriage and adoption."

TUBERCULOSIS ADVISORY COMMITTEE. The Tuberculosis Advisory Committee, established in 1965, consisted of twelve members appointed by the governor from medical and other specified fields. Its function was to advise the Texas Department of Health, the state commissioner of health, and the director of the division of tuberculosis services, and to work with other agencies in making recommendations toward the eradication of the disease. An increasing number of cases involving resistant strains of the disease began to appear in the 1980s, and as a result the emphasis of the advisory committee shifted toward specific recommendations concerning diagnosis and treatment. In 1992 the committee was renamed the Technical Advisory Committee on Tuberculosis Elimination.
