There are critics who insist that we should never compare the Jewish Holocaust of six million Jews with the 930 million reported abortions worldwide in the modern era. There have been some 50 million abortions in the United States alone.
Above is a scene from the film, JUDGMENT AT NUREMBERG, where the verdict is given against the judges who went along with the Nazi regime. Note how the words might apply to a contemporary challenge against human dignity and the sanctity of human life.
- "I still am opposed to public funding for abortion," he said on Meet the Press in 2007. "It goes to the question of whether or not you're going to impose a view to support something that is not a guaranteed right but an affirmative action to promote."
- Biden was asked, do you believe that life begins at conception? He answered: "I am prepared to accept my Church's view. I think it's a tough one. I have to accept that on faith. That's why the late-term abortion ban, where there's clearly viability."
- Biden voted for the ban on late term abortions.
- During an April 2007 presidential debate, Senator Biden said, "I strongly support Roe v. Wade." His actions in the Senate demonstrate his convictions. He worked intensely to try to defeat the nominations of both U.S Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito.–PLANNED PARENTHOOD
- Obama was asked, do you personally believe that life begins at conception? He responded: "This is something that I have not come to a firm resolution on. I think it's very hard to know what that means, when life begins. Is it when a cell separates? Is it when the soul stirs? So I don't presume to know the answer to that question. What I know is that there is something extraordinarily powerful about potential life and that that has a moral weight to it that we take into consideration when we're having these debates."
- Obama opposed the ban on partial-birth abortion (infanticide).
- In the Illinois state Senate, he opposed a bill similar to the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, which prevents the killing of infants mistakenly left alive by abortion.
- "The first thing I'd do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act," Obama said in his July speech to abortion advocates worried about the increase of pro-life legislation at the state level. The Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) is legislation Obama has co-sponsored along with 18 other senators that would annihilate every single state law limiting or regulating abortion, including the federal ban on partial birth abortion.
- "Thanks to all of you at Planned Parenthood for all the work that you are doing for women all across the country… I put Roe at the center of my lesson plan on reproductive freedom when I taught Constitutional Law. Not simply as a case about privacy but as part of the broader struggle for women's equality."
JOHN SIDNEY McCAIN
- "I am pro-life and an advocate for the Rights of Man everywhere in the world, because to be denied liberty is an offense to nature and nature's Creator. I will never waver in that conviction."
- The misperception is interesting, considering that McCain has not attempted to keep his pro-life views a secret. Here's how he put it on an appearance last year on NBC's Meet the Press: "I have stated time after time after time that Roe v Wade was a bad decision, that I support a woman — the rights of the unborn — that I have fought for human rights and human dignity throughout my entire political career," McCain said. "To me, it's an issue of human rights and human dignity."
- McCain said he thought Roe v. Wade should be overturned and said he would support exceptions to a ban on abortion in cases of rape, incest, and when the mother's life is in danger.
- Politicians of all stripes may say they're pro-life, but it's quite another thing to put those beliefs into practice with concrete actions. Two pro-life groups say Sarah Palin did that when she rejected an abortion on her physically disabled unborn child and they say it reminds them of the decision John McCain's family made to adopt a girl from Mother Teresa's orphanage.
- In November 2006, then gubernatorial candidate Sarah Palin declared that she would not support an abortion for her own daughter even if she had been raped.
- Granting exceptions only if the mother's life was in danger, Palin said that when it came to her daughter, "I would choose life."
- Palin makes no secret of her abortion views. A member of the group Feminists for Life, she told the Alaska Right to Life Board in 2002 that she "adamantly supported our cause since I first understood, as a child, the atrocity of abortion."
- "I believe that no matter what mistakes we make as a society," she wrote, "we cannot condone ending an innocent's life."

CINCINNATI (MarketWatch) — The U.S. markets' strongest six months seasonally — November through April — are just three days away.
Against this backdrop, the 2013 rally remains broadly-based, and the market technicals are constructive, as they have been nearly all year. Consider that the S&P 500 has returned nearly 24% year-to-date.
Before detailing the U.S. markets' wider view, the S&P 500's hourly chart highlights the past two weeks.
As illustrated, the S&P has edged from its one-week trading range, notching another all-time high.
From current levels, initial support holds at 1,759, and is followed by last week's low of 1,740.
Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is also trending higher.
Near-term support is poorly-defined, though the 15,500 area stands out as a potential floor.
Beyond this, firmer support spans from about 15,375 to 15,410, an area better illustrated on the daily chart.
And the Nasdaq Composite's near-term backdrop remains constructive.
From current levels, very near-term support rests at 3,927 — matching the Friday and Monday lows — and is followed by a firmer floor at gap support.
Widening the view to six months adds perspective.
On this wider view, the Nasdaq's October breakout increasingly resembles a runaway gap, mirroring its steep July spike. (The runaway gap was detailed last week.)
Initial support holds at the top of the gap — Nasdaq 3,882 — and is followed by a more significant floor at its breakout point, around 3,820.
Moving to the Dow, the blue-chip benchmark has risen within view of a major technical test.
Resistance spans from the August peak of 15,658, to its all-time high of 15,709. The Dow's record closing high rests at 15,676.94.
And the S&P 500 has sustained a break to record territory.
Looking ahead, the S&P's first significant support rests at the breakout point, spanning from 1,725 to 1,729.
The bigger picture
The U.S. markets' strongest six months seasonally — November through April — are just three days away.
Against this backdrop, the U.S. markets have staged an unexpectedly strong October performance: A close at current levels would mark the S&P 500's strongest monthly return in two years.
And beyond the obvious, the prevailing rally remains broadly-based.
Starting with the Russell 2000 Index IWM, +0.90% the small-cap benchmark has sustained a break to all-time highs.
Moreover, its recent "pullback" has been driven by progressively decreased volume, suggesting that selling pressure is limited.
Similarly, the SPDR S&P MidCap 400 Index MDY, +1.03% has also sustained a break to record territory.
Here again, its narrow late-October range has been underpinned by lighter volume, supporting the bull case.
And the SPDR Trust S&P 500 SPY, +0.90% has also rallied to all-time highs. Consider that Monday's close punctuated a nearly 24% year-to-date gain.

what about 4.4.2?
are you flashing roms of it or using a software on your computer?
its been a while since i was ontop of an htc
OK when you first got the phone was the sim working?
Is it a carrier specific device?
If yes are you using a sim card from that carrier?
Is the phone unlocked or factory unlocked or is it locked?
Was there any thing you did such as flashing custom roms?
I think it may have a bad Imei but I'm still trying to figure that out
yes it was working.
today again i downgrade to 4.2.2 but still same issue.
i was noticed that when i use *#*#4636#*#* > phone information> it show me UNKNOWN in set preferred network type and none of type is selectable
but when i switch off radio then i am able to select network type and phone sow me my carrier but no signal due to radio is off. after switch on radio same condition. and no service.
as i am in india so i do not think that blaclist issue matter but i check and imei is clear.
dont know if you ever got your issue fixed or not, i had a similar problem the other day on my galaxy s4 i337
i was able to make phone calls and recieve text messages but i could not access the internet through the network, my carrier actually did something that helped but didnt fix it... the technical support team had me turn off the phone and then they erased me from the network, so when i turned the phone back on the phone rebuilt the network through the sim card and for some reason i have better reception now...
i still could not connect to the internet via wifi or mobile network so i factory wiped and installed the stock firmware.
do you have somewhere to go where they can "officially" flash the stock firmware? here in the usa i can take my phone to BestBuy, a large electronics dealer, and they have a samsung area that the people have the tools to do so.
maybe your network carrier can help you, maybe its not a phone issue but rather a network provider issue.

Record Breaking Sale !
We are very pleased to announce the huge success of our February Fine Art and Antiques auction which realised over £550,000. The auction attracted global interest in specialised areas, most of all the collection of Arts & Crafts silver which alone fetched in excess £120,000. Other results include :
Early 20th Century sapphire and diamond necklace
Hammer Price : £35,000
Regency rosewood and parcel gilt sideboard
Hammer Price : £31,000
Late Victorian silver Art Nouveau-style biscuit box
Hammer Price : £26,000
Lucian Freud ink on paper
Hammer Price : £8,300
We are incredibly proud to announce that our young auctioneer Timothy Medhurst has been shortlisted for the 'Young Guns of the Antiques Trade Award'. He is one of only twelve selected from over fifty top notch entries from around the country. The Judges were looking for the most endearing story of how and why the entrant started in the business. Entrants were expected to demonstrate a real and heartfelt commitment to the industry and show how to generate confidence to encourage other young people to join the trade and visit antiques shops. This campaign reinforces one of the central themes of the mission statement of National Antiques Week :
* To Promote and encourage a younger audience to visit antiques shops, fairs and auction houses during National Antiques Week
* To promote and endorse the green credentials of antiques and to highlight the exceptional value antiques represent compared with equivalent high street purchases
Aged just 12 years old, Timothy had already developed a passion for coins and had a knowledge beyond his years. He joined Reeman Dansie on work experience at the age of 16 where his promising potential and enthusiam were recognized and shortly after was taken on full time as a trainee auctioneer, selling for the first time on the rostrum at just 17 years old. He has turned a childhood love of coins into a career, as an auctioneer specialising in the numismatic world. He is determined to bring a young edge to an area of the trade that is sometimes seen as old and stuffy.
Now, aged 21, Timothy has expanded the interest initially started from his love of coins and now has a wide and extensive knowledge of Antiques and Collectables. He runs the Coins and Militaria sales and also has an active cataloguing role in all the auctions. Tim is also very much involved in the Valuation Days that Reeman Dansie holds regularly for local charities.
We wish him the very best of luck when the results are announced on April 25th and hope other young enthusiasts can take inspiration from him.

A Time Honoured Tradition
In the early 1800s paper Valentines had become so popular that they started being commercially produced; but it was the dawn of the penny post in 1840 that caused an explosion in popularity and by 1841 over 400,000 Valentines had been posted throughout England. The Victorians were well and truly gripped by this amorous craze and ornate cards with ribbons and lace were the height of fashion. This lovely example below dates from around 1910 and is a Prussian chromolitho embossed kaleidoscope card by Alfred Stiebel & Co. This card formed part of the David May Collection

Health care is one of the most critical concerns that every family has. One illness or injury can wipe out a lifetime of savings and diligent financial planning. Health insurance, therefore, is a must for everyone. Unfortunately, many people go uninsured, making all of the rest of us pay for them through increased taxes. And some simply cannot afford adequate coverage, so a safety net must be provided for the truly needy. But, overall, we must come up with better solutions to our health care problems.
The government is currently in the process of implementing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare), which was passed in March 2010. In my opinion, this is a detrimental law and must be completely gutted for some (not all) of the following reasons:
- This 2700-page law was put together quickly and in such a way that probably no Congressman voting on this bill knew exactly what it contained. In fact, the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, famously said you have to "pass it to find out what is in it". And, certainly, if those voting on the bill did not know what was in it, the voters certainly would not have been able to know.
- This law completely takes away our freedom of choice. The Health and Human Services Department (HHS) has assumed complete authority to regulate the meaning of the bill.
- By being able to regulate the law, HHS in fact becomes the lawmaker. Our Constitution only assigns the responsibility of being the lawmaker to Congress. Congress has abdicated its responsibilities here (and elsewhere for that matter) and has thereby allowed this mess to accumulate.
- This law can be changed by every successive administration through the power of HHS, making it an open-ended and uncontrolled process.
- Contrary to the position of the Democratic administration, this law has raised taxes on everyone in multiple, and often hidden, forms.
- Contrary to the position of this Democratic administration, this law will change Medicare by eliminating funding for services that are available today but will not be available under the new Independent Payment Advisory Board (a 15 member panel which has the power to limit payment for critical services which are currently available to seniors.)
- Once it is fully implemented, we will never be able to get rid of this law. The Federal government will seize the opportunity to move towards a single payer provider, which is the goal of President Obama and my opponent.
- The Federal government is not trustworthy or capable of running a program of this magnitude on an efficient and effective basis. A prime example is Social Security. What happened to all of the money that has been collected from your payroll and from mine? It has been spent in areas where it should not have been spent and now Social Security faces insolvency. And we want to trust this government with this new authority? Not hardly!
- This law provides an exception for illegal aliens. This is a prime example of the manipulativeness of this law, favoring people who are not supposed to be here over our own citizens and permanent residents.
We can do better because we do not need to have the Federal government as deeply involved in the health care system as Obamacare calls for. Government need only be involved in the following:
- Pre-existing coverage is a major societal goal most people can agree on. This must be a requirement placed upon companies who sell insurance on an interstate basis.
- The option to include children up to age 26 on the parents' insurance policy should be available. There may be many reasons why the children are not carrying their own insurance. However, this way, the insurance premium is being paid and the children have coverage.
- There should not be a life–time maximum limit on coverage. People with debilitating conditions need to be able to continue to receive necessary coverage.
- The ability for health insurance companies to sell policies across state lines must be put into law. Competition will drive down, or at least slow down, increasing costs of health care.
- We must have tort reform to limit settlements of liability cases involving health care. This will reduce the liability insurance costs borne by health care providers which in turn increase the cost of services.
- Costs for the uninsured must be a state/local responsibility.
- Any mandatory requirement to cover insurance should be the responsibility for each state.

£2m support fund for flood-hit tourism businesses
Posted: March 02, 2014|
Tourism businesses affected by the floods are to get a £2 million Government support fund.
Announced by Culture Secretary Maria Miller today, the fund will enable experts to visit flood-hit areas to give practical advice and support to tourism firms.
The experts will help tourist bosses to communicate effectively with their customers online, give advice on what business support measures are available and how to access them, and marketing their businesses so that tourists know what is still on offer.
The advice sessions for the affected businesses will be hosted by VisitEngland and run throughout March and include visits to Devon, Cornwall and Somerset.
The fund is in addition to the £10 million, to help flood-hit businesses generally, announced by the Prime Minister on February 17.
Ms Miller said today: "We want to help all those tourism businesses that have been affected by the horrendous floods get back on their feet as quickly as possible.
"Experts will be put on the ground to help small businesses with practical advice and communications while a bespoke Easter marketing will bring people back to the areas hit."
Welcoming the funding, VisitEngland chief executive James Berresford said: "Our message to customers is 'Business as usual'. Despite many areas having been affected by bad weather and some travel disruption, the tourism infrastructure is largely unaffected."
VisitBritain chief executive Sandie Dawe said: "International tourism is worth around £1.5 billion to the economies of south west England and Wales. We are already getting out the message that it is a great time to travel to Britain and will be intensifying that activity over the coming months."

THIS VIDEO WILL BE REMOVED UPON COMPLETION OF FINAL This is an Anime Music Video I am currently developing. Unfortunately, I am unable to complete it at the moment due to a recent influx of fillers (I need several scenes that have yet to occur in the anime). It is centered on Ichigo and his inner hollow. I am pushing Windows movie Maker to its limits, so please enjoy. NOTE: Please do NOT leave frivolous comments such as "the song sucks". Please leave a comment that actually contributes something. The song is "The Crimson" by Atreyu.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- Medical Monday isn't just about your health, it's about keeping our families healthy too and for many of that means keeping our pets healthy.
Dr. Bob Hale with Briarwood Animal Hospital joins us to answer your pet questions.
Here are the questions he tackled on "THV 11 News This Morning":
Jackie Diggs-Weisel - All three of my dogs have Preventic collars on. They had them on while playing in the Christmas snow. Will the lose their effectiveness? Do I have to remove them for baths every time?
Donna Delbridge Cornish - What is a good dog food for a 5-year-old Silky terrier. I adopted him last year. I have been giving him canned dog food but I am not sold on it.
Elizabeth Ward - I have a female rat terrier, approximately 4-years-old and she is prone to bladder stones. She was put on a prescription diet and I was instructed not to give her anything other than the prescription food. Are there any chew bones or treats that I could give her? She is still young enough that she likes to chew.
Les Rosson - I have a min pin and at night has breathing problems can central heat cause his nose to stop up?
Matthew Willis - My chocolate lab had puppies 8 weeks ago. A male dog has been hanging around lately. Is it possible for her to get pregnant again this early?

Get it if you like. I can't recommend it.
Galactica devolved over the course of four seasons from tightly wound, conceptually freighted, socially-minded military SF to half-baked religious fantasy; as the writers' conceptions of the characters grew more involuted and eventually self-devouring, the actors were given 'more to do' but found less and less humanity in the process. Moreover, the writers' ability to make the show up as they went along wasn't consistently maintained for the full series run; showrunner Ron Moore's episode commentaries can't quite cover up the desperation of the show's later plot gestures. The early part of Season Three, a feverish Iraq-plus-some-other-stuff allegory, was Galactica's peak; after that the descent into half-baked pseudotheology was too rapid even for me.
The best of Galactica was good indeed, and as 'pure TV' - audiovisual spectacle and melodrama - it's some of the best in the medium's recent history. Certainly it set a highwater mark for the production of spacegoing SF on TV. But the show's imaginative poverty is maddening in retrospect; it's no longer easy to overlook the self-referentiality that so often substitutes for TV psychology, the lurid pseudocharacterization, the plot 'twists' plucked out of absolutely nowhere.
Galactica's main problem is the incoherent 'mytharc' and Cylon religion, which Ron Moore chose to make the sole focus of the series in its late run; its strength as a combat-heavy tale of fleeing an implacable robot enemy was entirely dissipated by the domestication (and schizophrenic treatment) of the Cylons. As on Carnivale and like Lindelof/Cuse on Lost, Moore evidently became convinced that enigma was a dramatic end unto itself, which would be forgivable if he hadn't doggedly insisted from the show's first moments that 'the Cylons...have a plan.'
They didn't have a plan - they had an attitude. Unfortunately the same is true of the writers.
The final episode of Galactica is one of the most contemptuous and solipsistic pieces of 'science fiction' I've ever seen or read. After the operatic ridiculousness of the Season Three finale I had high hopes for Season Four, but after just a handful of episodes it seemed that the inertial illogic of moneymaking serial TV had overpowered critical thought or insight; the last episode makes it clear that the buffoonish religious/historical allegory couldn't be blamed on anyone but Moore himself. The series began near-perfectly in one of TV's first believable spacegoing worlds; it ends somewhere up Ron Moore's ass. What a disappointment.
Actually it has a lot in common with the finale of Lost. (That's a bidirectional insult, in case you're wondering.)
Well, it's there if you want it. I could almost be convinced to watch the show again, even knowing what a pathetic (handsomely-produced, intensely-acted) shambles it eventually became; that's how much fun the good parts were. But there's too much good stuff out there. To hell with it. Buy The Wire instead.

The Atlanta Falcons have reached a settlement with quarterback Michael Vick on their breach-of-contract claim that is still awaiting an appeals court decision on a grievance case, sources confirmed Monday.
Under the settlement, Vick has agreed to pay the Falcons $7.5 million if the team wins an appeal in the Eighth Circuit Court and $6.5 million if the court upholds U.S. District Judge David Doty's decision that Vick is only liable for $3.75 million.
The settlement should pave the way for Vick's imminent release from the team. He has remained under contract with the team while serving a 21-month prison term for his 2007 conviction for bankrolling a dogfighting operation.
The Falcons were awarded a $20 million claim by the NFL's special master in a grievance filed against Vick, alleging he breached his contract when he was criminally convicted. However, Judge Doty overturned the special master's ruling, saying that Vick was only responsible for $3.75 million, a pro-rated amount of his signing bonus.
In the settlement reached last week, sources say that Vick agreed to let the appeals court make a ruling but would only pay a maximum of $7.5 million and a minimum of $6.5 million. The appeals court is expected to rule no later than June.
