Letter: No gun control, just more killings
Today we read again about another tragedy where a teacher has been killed by a student with a gun ("Police: Nevada middle school shooter was 12 years old," Tribune, Oct. 22).
These events are described as "unthinkable" and yet they aren't they happen all the time: teachers, a class of 5-year olds, moviegoers. Our families are increasingly the targets of senseless rage.
In the face of these reoccurring tragedies, there is momentary shock and outrage, and then absolutely nothing happens to change our course for the future.
There is no moral or political will to tighten gun laws and change our views of societal violence. Quite the contrary; the more these events occur the more society advocates for more guns.
From now on reporting of these events should appear in the Lifestyle section.

About the pup…
I am a conservative American woman, and am very proud and happy about that. I like to write, take pictures, play with my pups, read, cook, watch movies, pick up pecans, and put them in a pie. I believe that there are actually more folks like me than it seems sometimes. I believe there is no greater country on earth than America. I also believe that America and her Constitution are not invulnerable. We must not take our liberty and fundamental God-given rights for granted. There always have been, and always will be, those who will attempt to "fundamentally change" this nation.
We must stay educated, informed, aware, and attentive to what our elected and unelected officials are doing and saying.
I believe in God and am thankful every day for all He has given me. I am greatly blessed.
The pup is part Husky, part Pyrenees, and he's loving life.

I enjoy your blog very much. Thanks for stopping by at mine.
I did try to set up the RSS feed from here but I am getting an error. I wanted to give you the heads up.
Keep Fighting the Good Fight…

Conservative Pup,
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and leaving your comments! I also enjoy getting comments–it seems to let you know you're on the right track.
You have a great blog! I love the layout and your grammar is impeccable. It's always great to find another smart Conservative woman and fellow dog lover.
Thank you for the link up, too! I will do the same.
For the next four years and beyond,

I hope you don't mind:
I was VERY impressed, and had a wonderful afternoon

Thanks for stopping by and saying hello C-P! I see I now have another great site to check out on a regular basis here at conservative pup!
That said, hang on tight folks this is gonna be a bumpy ride for awhile with the O guy in our White House. This is a much deeper mess than most of us could have ever imagined.

Also, check out this link. This is why Napolitano is on the prowl for American conservatives. It is a bill that has passed the House (in 2007) and is now in the Senate – but wasn't isn't being disclosed is that although it hasn't formally passed the Senate (to my knowledge), sums were included in the stimulus for the monies which are needed in order to create this subsdivision and the Fusion Centers which are distributing these memos. This way, the Senate can do what it is doing now – claim outrage over these actions – while they have been more than aware of the existence of these Fusion Centers and this bill passed by the House all along.
It's all a political game. And actually what this bill does is make the U.S. government, rather than representatives of the people, a "hate group" all it's own.
Here's the language on the Senate bill:
That is also why I suspect people like Michelle Malkin – who is no more than a mouthpiece for the neocons really. She, as a conservative blogger and also watches Congressional activities, has also been silent on the existence of this bill – while publishing reports on select members of the Senate now "outrage." Staged outrage really merely for their political careers.

Great blog Pup!
I still enjoy reading it, but had to take some time away. You asked me how to put the NRA badge on your site a while back and I'm just now replying to your message. (Sorry it took so long!)
Here's the code I used in a text widget in my sidebar:
Feel free to use it.
Keep the fires burning and the lights on so we take this country back!

Pup – great blog. I will add you to my blogroll and will likely become a regular reader. Good stuff here. Nice to find a fellow-conservative-woman out there.

Love this website. I'm gonna add it to my blogroll!
Keep up the good job, we are all in this together!
BTW, I'm also a dog lover, and I'm following you on Twitter, really enjoy your posts…
God bless.

Thank God for Conservatives.

good job…

Hi there! Loved browsing your blog. Wanted to message you here to find out how to contact you directly about one of my clients, Tricia Raymond. Judging by the topics you cover on your blog, I think you'd be very interested in speaking with her. She's a passionate Pledge of Allegiance historian and author and speaker who has just recently released her second book on the Pledge, "Saving One Nation Under God" (the first book targeted younger children). And, I thought you might be especially interested in linking up with her to discuss the current controversies over the Pledge.
Hope to hear from you soon at the email I listed!
All the best .

Hi Pup … I felt impressed to tell you about a wonderful uplifting blog written by a Christian mom … I think not too much unlike you. She only posts about once a month, so you will have plenty of time to follow her. My daughter used to go to the same church in Indy when she lived there, and knows the life she lives. I promise you will love her. Her name is Karen Cooper and she is the Kingdom Mom. Here is a link to a sample of her writing.
Blessings to again Pup …

This is way to cool lady. You finally got your blog. Great job, I am impressed. I am doing fine. Don't usually follow Twitter, just got your last note to me. Good Luck!

The West Indians who came to Australia had different experiences from those who joined established immigrant communities in the UK, USA or Canada.
These migrants chose Australia because the lifestyle and culture sounded familiar: a beautiful country with plenty of outdoor space and sporty, 'laid-back' people. Many wanted to avoid cold climates and competitive, urban 'rat race' existences. Some were also fearful of the racial tensions prevalent in many English and North American cities in the 1960s. Melbourne was a popular destination because jobs were readily available.
Early West Indian migrants faced extreme isolation, in what sometimes felt like a clean, pleasant and efficient, but slightly dull and parochial place. Victoria also proved unexpectedly cold. Even small cultural differences required some adjustment: the 'footy' obsession; 'bring-a-plate' entertaining culture; casual dress codes; lack of domestic help or extended families; and outdoor toilets in the 1960s and 1970s!
Later, migrants from more diverse social backgrounds also found these cultural differences challenging. Discrimination was also an issue, sometimes resulting in different experiences for members of the same community – or even family – depending on their physical appearance.
Despite these problems, West Indians generally felt welcomed and accepted, and were able to build productive and comfortable new lives in Victoria. Although we are deeply nostalgic for what we left behind, we also celebrate our Australian identities.
My Mum came to Australia on the Oriana in 1955 with her brother and my Nana and Grandad. She was 10 and her brother 5. Her name was Avril Romaine Ayres and he...

New Mexico Teacher Education Programs
(found programs from 10 schools)
- NM Dept of Education:
- http://www.ped.state.nm.us/
- Teacher Certification in NM:
- New Mexico Teacher Certification Info
Follow the links below to find schools offering different types of teacher education programs in New Mexico. If you are trying to become a teacher, and you plan on working in New Mexico, you should definitely take a look at the Department of Education's website. The individual states make a lot of their own decisions about how teachers need to be prepared.
Also, as a rule, you should contact multiple schools if you are seriously considering going back for a degree or certificate in education. There can sometimes be very significant differences in tuition, admissions requirements, and so on, even between schools that you might think are very similar. So, it's always a good idea to contact a number of schools and do a little comparison shopping.
- New Mexico Bachelors in Education Programs
- New Mexico Masters in Education Programs
- New Mexico Alternative Certification Programs
- New Mexico Advanced Teaching Certificate Programs
- New Mexico Educational Specialist Programs
- New Mexico Doctorate in Education Programs
New Mexico is a land of natural wonders. Tourists come from all over to explore the underground splendor of Carlsbad Caverns or marvel at its dazzling white sand. UFO enthusiasts flock to Roswell in search of a close encounter. Teachers can find work in small, rural schools or in classrooms in the state's cities. The state offers some incentives for those willing to work in underserved areas.
Teacher Education in New Mexico
New Mexico has fewer than 10 education schools, but almost all of them offer the opportunity for a master's degree. Doctorates are available at the larger state institutions. Available financial assistance includes a state-sponsored loan-for-service program and scholarships for Native Americans willing to teach in high-need schools. To be licensed in New Mexico, teachers must have completed a minimum number of undergraduate credits in their chosen specialization area. The exact number depends on which grade levels and subjects they are working in.
Teaching Careers in New Mexico
According to 2010 data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, teachers in New Mexico earn almost $49,000 a year. The state requires new teachers be mentored and it offers a loan-forgiveness program for teachers willing to work in underserved areas.

New York Times: How A Mexican Drug Cartel Makes Its Billions
June 19th 2012 · 0 Comments
Known as El Chapo for his short, stocky frame, Joaquín Guzmán is 55, which in narco-years is about 150. He is a quasi-mythical figure in Mexico, the subject of countless ballads, who has outlived enemies and accomplices alike, defying the implicit bargain of a life in the drug trade: that careers are glittering but brief and always terminate in prison or the grave.
When Pablo Escobar was Chapo's age, he had been dead for more than a decade. In fact, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration, Chapo sells more drugs today than Escobar did at the height of his career.
To some extent, this success is easily explained: as Hillary Clinton acknowledged several years ago, America's "insatiable demand for illegal drugs" is what drives the clandestine industry.
t's no accident that the world's biggest supplier of narcotics and the world's biggest consumer of narcotics just happen to be neighbors. "Poor Mexico," its former president Porfirio Díaz is said to have remarked. "So far from God and so close to the United States."

Due to hit newsstands today, check out Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson making yet another cover of a magazine, this time Sports Illustrated.
Jim Trotter of Sports Illustrated writes apiececomparing Wilson to the player he looked up to as a teenager, New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees.
"He's more talented than I am," Brees tells SI. "He's more athletic. He grasped the NFL game at a faster pace than I did. He has not only great leadership qualities, great charisma, but also the It factor that you look for in a young quarterback. I couldn't be more impressed. You watch the road he traveled, and you're happy for him and root for him."
We'll get to watch the two quarterback in action on the same field when New Orleans travels to Seattle to take on the Seahawks on Dec. 2.

Recent Tasting Notes
I tasted this tea in the teabag version. The name of this tea promises something very special, but I was disappointed. Firt, the smell isn´t very original. I tasted this tea raw (meaning without milk/honey/sugar) and I wasn´s impressed. To me, it tasted like regular assam tea. It was ok, but I could´t find any real aroma notes that would have really spiced the tea.
I wish I had never bought this. I think it's related to China Pai Mu Tan. Leaves and the tea looks and behaves the same and I hate both teas. I also think Aloe Vera disagrees with my taste buds. I like citrusy flavors so I don't think the problem is in grapefruit flavoring or lemon peel. But under the added flavors is the same Pai Mu Tan which I dislike. I'm probably gonna toss this one.
This was my first white tea and I was so disappointed. It was a bit expensive and I had high expectations. It has awfully lot of crushed big leaves in it and suprisingly few leaves and tips that look like white tea to me. I taste mostly those bitter crushed leaves in the tea.
This time I tried picking the best looking leaves and tips but it didn't improve the taste much, but this time tea looked like white tea. I'm considering tossing this tea, because I very rarely drink it and don't like it.
Tea becomes dark brownish (stays clear of course) when it gets cold.
A cup at work earlier today. I must have accidently steeped too long. I'm too used to drinking tea at home and having a timer and no distraction. I'll have to do better next time.
I brewed it at 85°C 1minute, drowning the tea infuser into the water.
As I slurp introducing air ah so noisily it revealed flowery nutty flavour with more precence and aftertaste than most of the top noch DJ's I'v tasted thus far. This was the case for the batch of 2009-2010.
Btw, I prefer red tea classification over to the black.
I am sorry I messed up and added my review to the tea info box aswell. I'll behave in the future.

What is the treatment for H. pylori?
Reader Stories
H. pylori is difficult to eradicate from the stomach because it is capable of developing resistance to commonly used antibiotics. Therefore, two or more antibiotics usually are given together with a PPI and/or bismuth containing compounds to eradicate the bacterium. (Bismuth and PPIs have anti-H. pylori effects.) Examples of combinations of medications that are effective are:
These combinations of medications can be expected to cure 70% to 90% of infections. However, studies have shown that resistance of H. pylori (failure of antibiotics to eradicate the bacterium) to clarithromycin is common among patients who have prior exposure to clarithromycin or other chemically similar macrolide antibiotics (such as erythromycin). Similarly, H. pylori resistance to metronidazole is common among patients who have had prior exposure to metronidazole. In these patients, doctors have to find other combinations of antibiotics to treat the H. pylori. Antibiotic resistance is another reason why antibiotics should be used carefully and judiciously for the right reasons, and indiscriminate use of antibiotics for improper reasons should be discouraged. First-line regimens for Helicobacter pylori eradication are taken from the guidelines developed by the American College of Gastroenterology as follows:
*PPI = proton pump inhibitor; pcn = penicillin; p.o. = orally; q.d. = daily; b.i.d. = twice daily; t.i.d. = three times daily; q.i.d. = four times daily.
A recent investigation reported that triple therapy of either levofloxacin (Levaquin) or rifabutin in combination with amoxicillin and esomeprazole yielded cure rates of 90% and 88.6%. The treatments lasted 10 to 12 days respectively (10 days of levofloxacin 20=50 mg b.i.d. or rifabutin 150 mg q.d. for 12 days. Amoxicillin was 1 gm esomeprazole was 40 mg, both b.i.d.).
Some doctors may want to confirm eradication of H. pylori after treatment with a urea breath test or a stool antigen test, particularly if there have been serious complications of the infection such as perforation or bleeding in the stomach or duodenum. Endoscopic biopsies to determine eradication of the bacterium are not necessary, and blood tests are not good for determining eradication since it takes many months for the antibodies to H. pylori to decrease. The best tests for determining eradication are the breath and stool tests discussed previously. Patients who fail to eradicate H. pylori with treatment are retreated, often with a different combination of medications.

Holy Hemp! Pat Roberston Supports Ending Cannabis Prohibition In An Effort To Get 'Smart On Crime'
Break out the recorders! Don't let this one get away!
If I didn't watch it with my own eyes I might not believed it possible: Televangelist and former Baptist minister Pat Robertson making a cogent argument on alternatives to arresting and incarcerating citizens who use drugs, with a clear emphasis on legalizing the possession of a few ounces of cannabis.
The 700 Club segment on alternatives to crime helps promote a new right-of-center organization that seeks to actively lobby for reform of the criminal justice system principally as a poor use of scant public funds called Right on Crime. Notable conservative activists such as Americans for Tax Reform's Grover Norquist, American Conservative Union's David Keane and Prison Fellowship Ministries' Pat Nolan are spearheading this important new front in the now 40-year-old effort to reform cannabis laws.
Also, with unbelievable karmic timing, Pat Robertson endorses ending Cannabis Prohibition for possession of a few ounces at the 4:20 mark of the video.
Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
Don't forget that this guy agreed with Jerry Falwell about 9/11 being caused by gays, feminists, and "abortionists". Pat himself claimed God sent Hurricane Katrina to punish New Orleans for hosting a gay pride convention. Still, for ol' Pat to connect the dots from a couple of ounces of pot to mandatory minimums to creating criminals of youth to wasting time and money was a miracle.
As for the rest, I'm fine with prisoners (ones that deserve and require imprisonment) given the opportunity to find religion and religious fellowship, so long as there are equal opportunities at redemption given without religion (access to education, non religious fellowships, etc.) for the non-believers.
This means all the hypocritical " Devil ( & most of them are ) worshipping liars that call themselves Christians that there actually is one real Christian out there .
Hmmm, good point, Russ .Guess i should of read all the posts ( especially yours ) before making any comments . Ol' Pat has gotten better but, obviously has still got some polishing up to do .
Maybe God will give him another chance –
Praise the Lord and pass the Puna Butter!
Every minister or men of the cloth that really cares about the people in his church should feel the exact same way. If they really care about the people in their community they will start drives within the church and communities to stop arresting individuals every 37 seconds for posession of marijuana. It is immoral. You know its interesting that a backwoods preacher can finally see the truth but the United Nations which if fully aware that 10's of thousands of people are dying every day in this world over this very issue and the United Nations are mute. When will the United Nations finally show some balls and state that any penalty for the posession of marijuana is immoral. How about it United Nations? You cant let the the US Govt buy you off forever, If you allow that youll lose credibility. (Thats funny right there now, the word credibility and the United Nations in the same sentence. lol)
Holy Smokes. HOLY SMOKES.
The Rev.sLeezy
I've always thought that the constituencies of social conservatives as a major stumbling block for legalization, under the premise they will come out in droves to protect their children from candidates supporting perfectly acceptable adult behavior. But with the recent shift in polling trends over the past five/six years, due to electoral shifts from the generational gap, I view this as further signaling a tipping point in the shift of cultural mores. The plan to convert prisoners to see the holy light sounded eerily akin to scientology, but secularists like myself party with succubus.
Russ..your brilliant . You seem to have a way with taking the words directly out of my mind and mouth then putting it on " paper " . Couldn't agree with you more .
I also agree that Christians are not Christians when they justify persecuting anyone using Marijuana while they use Alcohol and other " man made " drugs . I have a friend named, Don Chin who deeply believes he is a Christian, lives in a near million dollar home, uses drugs containing caffeine and drinks Alcohol then condems me because of a medical need of Marijuana .
Ridiculous .
Even HIS GOD allows him to see the light.All of the plants on this planet are here for a reason.Marijuana just happened to be the most misunderstood, or was it.The people who smoke pot responsibly function just fine on a daily basis.The government and RELIGOUS factions of this country are the ones who fight legaization the hardest.
My daughter asked me would I let a 12 yr. old smoke pot? I said no of course, ALTHOUGH if said child insisted on doing it anyway I would also prefer they do it at home so they can be supervised.This is responsible parenting.THANK GOD MY CHILDREN ARE GROWN AND RAISED!!!!In this day and age if your 12 yr old is smoking pot and gets caught ,they can say goodbye and so can the parents since parents are responsible for their childrens actions,Just more money and federal funds to be wasted on incarcerating the population of this country.We lead the world in number of prisons and number of people in prison.When are the people of this country going to wake up and demand a stop be put to this failed policy?

I have supported doctor robertson for 25 years as a member of the 700 club and the user of medicinal marijuana for longer and people should listen to this man he's been very successful in life any news many things take his word on this 1
The religious proselytizing on these comments is ridiculous. Decriminalization and legalization needs to be bipartisan, religiously tolerant, and accepting movement. That being said, I agree with Buchanan on pot, despite his insane religious views and homophobia.

I'm not religious but I think if hell exist it just froze over!!! Maybe someone can get in contact with these religious organizations who are serious about ending prohibition and add them to our team and finally end the war on drugs!!!
I'm happy to have another voice in our favor – and it's a very recognizable and powerful one (in that it reaches lots of people who may have been waiting for a sign from God). As an athiest, I disagree with almost every word that comes out of his mouth however. But, maybe now our elected leaders will pay attention; I know, I'm probably dreaming…
If I get the chance, Gary Johnson will definately get my vote to become the next president.
I have always placed value on Dr. Robertson's viewpoints. Historically, his insight has preluded future events.
[…] Pot Robertson! ? […]
Wow Dude, did I wake up in bizarro world? As a philosophical Buddhist, I seldom have occasion to agree with Mr. Robertson, so this was a nice Xmas surprise.
WOW!…. hell has frozen over… or something…. there has to be a catch…
I think this video is appropriate
When the numbers are so bad that even the Christian right can see that our drug laws are killing our society it makes me wonder how long it will take our elected officials to wake up and change this horrible law! I guess it has become obvious to most of us that this really needs to change. It also says a lot about how powerful the prohibition lobby is!!!
its GREAT that Pat has said this.. but its not time for us to relax… We should get twice as loud… Mr. Robertson's comment will make it easier for us to be heard. but now I recomend we get as loud as possible. and every spare second we have posting or saying something about legalization or educating people. then relax BIGTIME when its legalized!!
If Mr Robertson is reading this website, I just want to thank him for having the balls to do what so many others haven't: speak the truth.
NATURAL LAW… in full effect! Gotta love the 4:20 timeline. Divine intervention or Jesus just saying 'HIGH' :-]
Happy Holidays!
pROMOTE pEACE
I am a NORML-supporting believer in the whole of the Apostles' Creed, a humble sinner depending on faith in Jesus's shed blood, wanting to use (medicinally) God's garden as He provided including raw milk and cannabis, and I am so VERY glad to fully back Mr. Robertson's position. This is possibly even better than Dobson's repudiation of the GOP-backed RINO in favor of backing libertarian Constitutionalist Rand Paul in Kentucky's Senate race, as an indicator of a sincere belief in our Declaration of Independence for which some of "my people" fought in the Revolution. So happy to say I TOLD YOU SO NORML!
Seems like the ONLY segment of our society that still believes in prohibition are the ones who are paid to keep it in place.
Funny that.
Merry Christmas peace mongers.
It has come for the time of reason, I Pray

Ever since I was like 14, I openly wondered to just about anyone why alcohol was legal, but cannabis illegal, since alcohol is objectively so much worse.
Now I'm just happy that more people are supporting ending cannabis prohibition, and I'm gonna smoke some medical cannabis to celebrate.
This should wake up some of the "Bible Beaters" here in the south. Most of the "Bible Beaters" don't even realize that their neighbors are growing it! The Hemp industry would revitalize all those little southern towns that use to make textiles. Hopefully, we'll be able to farm big plots AND have them blessed!!!
I thank GOD for it.
Its time for the Church deal with the issue.
I think that Pat might actually realize, or perhaps be aware, that millions of people who also happen to be Christians use pot. He is not an idiot and many people value his opinion. You might find that he could sway a lot of people who have no interest in legalization to move to a more moderate position.
NORML should acknowledge him and make a genuine effort to enlist his endorsement.
Marijuana will be legalized when the U.S. government runs out of money and goes bankrupt. It's pretty ironic that this is going to happen. With the way things are going maybe sooner than later! Even the God crew is going under.

ya know, he is so right about prison damaging young people. a close friend of mine went to prison at 19 for possession of marijuana, for 5 years and is completely changed because of it. Living in prison is a mind altering experience. and it is definitely one of those things you don't realize until you're close with someone who has been through it.
You guys have got to try the new snow cones they're making in hell….

Even though Pat Robinson probably meant what he said; his christian Coalition Brothers say his comment was taken out of context. Kinda like the head of the DEA saying the war on drugs is working ,just look at all the deaths in Mexico.kinda like Obama saying he would be alright with what science agrees on,or even when Gil the drug czar was the top cop in Seatle( marijuana was his least priority)a new gov job,hell no on MJ decriminalization. cannabis will never be legal until a national revolt.

Make no mistake – Robertson doesn't approve of cannabis, he disapproves of destroying "young lives" because of a couple of puffs of cannabis. I give the man credit for having good sense. Too bad the politicos in his flock can't follow his lead. Maybe he will be the good shepherd and save his flock from the wolves. Let's hope so.

Pat'd eyes are not open to the truth. We are the greatest funders of terrorism. When we fuel our gas tanks and the war on drugs funds terrorism. Biden responded to Pat this morning saying no to legallising that he thinks it is a gateway.
As a therapy, I agree that religion can be useful. However, they should offer inmates their choice of religion, at least – and choosing one should only be mandatory for violent offenders; Thieves, while annoying, don't actually hurt anyone (before someone says it – any form of armed robbery is a violent crime, not just theft). Taking away a couple of years of their life because of money is more than enough punishment, but to additionally force them to believe something is cruel and unusual.
Then, everything that isn't theft or an act of violence shouldn't be considered a crime that can land you in prison. Further, we'd have to work on our justice system, and make sure there are no mistakes when it comes to verdicts. Under these conditions, and these conditions only, would I accept the state forcing religion on prisoners.
I've said it a million times, and I never see anyone else say it in a debate with a prohibitionist: Even assuming everything the media and government says about marijuana is true, how is giving someone a criminal record going to help them? If having a criminal record is so great for one's future, why don't we have a 'slap-a-cop' day on college campuses? Imagine how that would have helped the last three presidents to have had a criminal record for smoking pot. Or is it only poor people that it helps to have a criminal record? If there is too many of them to pay them all to bottle our soda and cook our fries, so we can cart some off to prison to boost our stock in the prison industry, is that it?
"Jury nullification" means that a jury finds a defendant innocent because the law itself is unjust, or is unjust in a particular application, and so should not be applied.
Does an American Jury have the power and the right to nullify the law? Is nullification a violation of the principle of the rule of law? Yes, and no, While it is common today for court judges to tell prospective jurors that they must apply the law as the court judge gives it to them and that jurors business is simply to determine whether the defendant has broken the law or not. But that is not the founding father's intention by the right to trial by jury described in the Bill of Rights. As Thomas Jefferson said in 1782;
"…it is usual for the jurors to decide the fact, and to refer the law arising on it to the decision of the judges. But this division of the subject lies with their discretion only. And if the question relate to any point of public liberty, or if it be one of those in which the judges may be suspected of bias, the jury undertake to decide both law and fact."
Thomas Jefferson is not talking about nullification per se, but about the power the jury has by taking the interpretation of the law into its own hands at trail.
We have this District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals case of the Unites States v. Dougherty, (1972), which said,
"The jury has an unreviewable and irreversible power…to acquit in disregard of the instructions on the law given by the trial judge…The pages of history shine on instances of the jury's exercise of its prerogative to disregard uncontradicted evidence and instructions of the judge; for example, acquittals under the fugitive slave law."
Does jury nullification contribute to, rather than mitigate, such judicial misbehavior? No, because it is part of the system of checks and balances itself — a check against the bias of judges and the irrationality and corruption that creeps steadily into the law, as irresponsible legislators and judges think about things other than justice. Jury nullification is not a violation of the rule of law because it is part of the rule of law.
The jury is the last line of defense, the last check and balance, against tyrannical government, if, that is, it is charged with determining the justice of a case and not just with blindly applying the law as given by a judge.
The interpretation of the law cannot be trusted to those with the power to enforce it also. The separation of powers between the judiciary and the executive in the federal government was not sufficient to prevent this, as
Jefferson's maxim that only trial by jury can hold a government to the "principles of its constitution." Since, as a matter of fact, a jury can practice nullification even if the judge tells it that it can't, because its deliberations are secret and unrecorded, trial by jury is still, as long as jurors are brave and informed, one of the most important protections for freedom. Most Americans on jury duty blindly obey the judge, but occasionally feelings run high enough in important cases for juries to ignore the judge and do the right thing.
If the jury feels the law is unjust, we recognize the undisputed power of the jury to acquit, even if its verdict is contrary to the law as given by a judge, and contrary to the evidence…If the jury feels that the law under which the defendant is accused is unjust, or that exigent circumstances justified the actions of the accused, or for any reason which appeals to their logic or passion, the jury has the power to acquit, and the courts must abide by that decision.4th Circuit Court of Appeals, United States v. Moylan, 1969
Will you Rev Robertson tell the whole truth? Hemp laws are treason against the Republic. I read the US has 950 million acres of agracultural land. We use 400 million acres for food production. If we would have listened to George Washington, Hemp plant it everywhere. We would have the 10's of million acres to produce all our fuel and oil needs. Instead we fund terrorism at the pumps and to help terrorists more we fund the war on drugs to drive that funding to billions. Who do We The People want to fund? American farmers or 74 years of propaganda scare tactics lie's. Don't be afraid to be a great man. Just tell the truth. Please. Ps How many cancers does it have to cure to be our birth right?

Felons can't vote. That means that's one less vote for legalization. How many pot felons are there? Voter thinning is just as ??? as population thinning. A criminal record helps the prohibs. They don't care who they destroy. The end justifies the means. That's what Robertson is opposed to.

Chad Johnson Gets Evelyn Lozada Tattoo
After a very controversial domestic spat and highly publicized divorce, Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson is breaking his silence with a tattoo of Evelyn Lozada's face inked on his leg. Fans immediately questioned Johnson's motives and he quickly responded.
"Divorce? Child please… that's my WIFE," he tweeted to @TeeSplash101. He told another follower, "I dont give a flying pretzel in skittle rainbow hell what she filed for…"
In obvious denial, the former Miami Dolphins seems unable to let go of the relationship. All the while, Evelyn has publicly stated that she refuses to rekindle any type of relationships with her soon-to-be ex-husband.
"It's the hardest thing in the world to walk away from someone that you really love," she said in a Nightline interview. "But you have to walk away because I [sic] have to protect myself."
If you missed Evelyn' tearful interview, watch it below.

good stuff
My trips today and yesterday confirmed the fact that fishing smallmouth in September can be just as good, if not better, than it is in July and August. Of course it doesn't hurt when it's in the low to mid-70's, sunny and calm. The fish were hungry, the fish were big and the leaves are starting to really change on the river right now, making it a beautiful time to be out. Minnow patterns worked slow over and around rocks were the ticket, with most of the eats being fairly subtle, yet deliberate. There were a few fish that surprised us by waking to and eating the fly the instant it hit the water. There wasn't another soul on the water, save for the usual handful of eagles that keep us company. The true summer months are great, but I'll take days like we had this week over just about anything. Near zen.

Featuring: Judy Dorsey, Brendle Group, CO; Dave Belin, RRC Associates, CO
Rich with profit-driving ideas and case studies, presenters will focus on how sustainability – from the perspectives of energy and water management, waste, fleet vehicles, procurement and other topics – can help drive bottom-line savings as well as top-line growth, while also impacting balance sheets and economic indicators industry-wide. Speakers will also share investor perspectives on sustainability in the ski industry, such as integrating sustainability into overall financial performance modeling.
Featuring: Judy Dorsey, Brendle Group, CO, Moderator; Matthew Banks, Senior Program Manager – Energy & Climate, World Wildlife Fun- U.S., D.C.
The NSAA Climate Change Policy has long helped guide its efforts to address climate change, calling for efforts on multiple fronts including advocacy, education, science-based solutions and partnerships. Starting from the perspective of industry-level advocacy, national experts will discuss energy and climate change legislation, the business case for climate mitigation and managing risk in the face of an already changing climate. Next, participants in NSAA's Climate Challenge – which now includes 20 resorts – from both east and west will report out on their progress, benefits realized and lessons learned from addressing their own climate change impacts.
Come hear lively discussion about customer opinions on environmental sustainability and their continued recognition of high-performing resorts. Speakers will share their perspectives of the latest research on consumer preferences and sustainability - including expectations from millenials - as well as sustainability in branding and communications, social media and how to keep communications authentic in the face of external scrutiny. Next, NSAA supplier members will share how they're putting branding and sustainability into play to resonate with savvy consumers.
Featuring: Zeke Williams, Managing Director, Lewis Bess Williams & Wess, CO; Dave Byrd, Director of Risk & Regulatory Affairs, NSAA; Ben Kass, Associate Attorney, Lewis, Bess Williams & Weese, CO
Facilities and mountain operators need to be well-schooled about the heightened – and costly – environmental enforcement efforts increasingly pushed by both state and federal regulators. From waste and pollution management, storm water regulations, fuel storage tanks, and air and soil contamination, the complexity of environmental regulation and the impact on our environment warrants serious attention. Zeke Williams, a ski industry attorney and expert in environmental and water regulation and litigation, will analyze recent environmental compliance issues involving ski areas, and recommend strategies for resorts to promote environmental compliance and minimize expense.
Featuring: Jeff Cullinane, Finance & Business Development, Intrawest Resorts, CO; Mike Leonard, Efficiency Vermont Investment Corp., VT
Snowmaking, by far, is one of the biggest energy hogs. Jeff Cullinane, a finance and efficiency expert at Intrawest Resorts, has implemented hugely successful snowmaking energy monitoring programs at Stratton and Snowshoe, resulting in reduced energy costs of more than ten percent, with savings of up to a hundred thousand dollars in just one season. By vigilantly tracking key metrics and smartly forecasting demand and consumption, Intrawest will discuss how it has achieved sizeable energy reductions in snowmaking. Jeff will tag team with experts from Efficiency Vermont, who advocate a similar Snow Energy Index system which laser-focuses on continuous energy improvements in snowmaking through tracking water, air, and kilowatt usage, and real-time adjustments designed to achieve significant energy reductions. Efficiency Vermont will also unveil results from an analyses on a spectrum of snow guns, and highlight behavioral changes that can be implemented on-the-fly to lower energy costs.
Featuring: Jeff Cullinane, Consultant, Vermont Energy Investment Corp., VT; George Lawrence, Vermont Energy Investment Corp., VT
Believe it or not, buildings and structures in the United States constitute the largest source of emissions in the atmosphere from a climate change perspective. We have invited two experts from Vermont Energy investment Corporation (VEIC), a non-profit consulting firm that administers energy efficiency and sustainable energy utilities in Vermont, Ohio, and Washington DC. This session will hone in on ways resorts can better manage energy use to continuously improve energy performance in ski resort buildings – base lodges, condos, resort restaurants and all aspects of mountain operations. There will be an emphasis on applying the proper management framework to enable your resort' staff to set goals, identify opportunities and make changes to save energy.

Saying something is better than candy, chocolate, or better yet, steak is pretty big talk. Those are not words that we toss around lightly. But we're pulling out the big guns. This seemingly indulgent recipe has the chops and the tantalizing flavors to hold up to the claim.
This salivating recipe was cooked up by Traeger Nation member, James Dee Warren.
Prep Time: 5-10 minutesCook Time: 15 minutesServes: 4Recommended Pellets: Cherry
INGREDIENTS:8-10 black plums1/2 cup balsamic vinegar1/2 cup brown sugar
Rinse the plums and halve and pit them.
When ready to cook start the Traeger on Smoke for 4 to 5 minutes or until the fire is established. Preheat the Traeger, lid closed, on High (400 degrees, F) for 10 to 15 minutes.
Cook the plums, cut-side down on the grill grate for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile start reducing the balsamic vinegar by cooking it in a pot over medium heat with the brown sugar until it's thick and reduced by about half, 5-10 minutes.
Turn the plums over and brush with the balsamic and brown sugar reduction and cook for about 2 to 5 minutes more. (You want them to be soft but still slightly firm)
Drizzle the plums with any excess balsamic reduction and DIG IN!!
They are ridiculously good to eat when they're still warm. Slightly tart and bursting with sweet, ambrosial juices.

Such research promises new treatments and possible cures for many debilitating diseases and injuries, including Parkinson's, diabetes, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, burns and spinal cord injuries. While the potential medical benefits of human stem cell technology are compelling and worthy of pursuit, the NIH believes that this area of research should be supported in accordance with strict ethical standards. And, as the draft guidelines note, "NIH understands and respects the ethical, legal and social issues relevant to human pluripotent stem cell research and is sensitive to the need to subject it to oversight more stringent than that associated with the traditional NIH scientific peer review process. In light of these issues, the NIH plans to move forward in a careful and deliberate way prior to funding any research using stem cells".
Human pluripotent stem cells hold great promise for advances in health care because they can give rise to many different types of cells, such as muscle cells, nerve cells, heart cells, blood cells, and others. Further research using human pluripotent stem cells may help scientists generate cells and tissue that could be used for transplantation to treat many diseases; improve understanding of the complex events that occur during normal human development and of what goes wrong to cause diseases and conditions such as birth defects and cancer; and change the way drugs are developed and tested for safety and potential efficacy.
The draft guidelines describe conditions that should be met before NIH funds are used to support human pluripotent stem cell research. The guidelines propose specific criteria for informed consent for the utilization of human pluripotent stems cells and the establishment of a Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Review Group to review documentation of compliance with the NIH guidelines and, when warranted, seek further information in support of a research application. In addition, the draft guidelines delineate areas of research involving human pluripotent stem cells that are ineligible for NIH funding including studies in which stem cells are used to create or contribute to a human embryo; are combined with an animal embryo; are used for reproductive cloning of a human; are derived using somatic cell nuclear transfer into a human or animal egg; or are derived from human embryos created for research purposes.
In an effort to ensure that any research utilizing human pluripotent stem cells is conducted appropriately, the NIH Director convened a Working Group of the Advisory Committee to the Director to help develop the draft guidelines. The working group included a broad spectrum of individuals with varied expertise and experience, including basic and clinical scientists, patients and patient advocates, ethicists, lawyers, and clinicians and met in a public session on April 8 to discuss draft guidelines. The Working Group also considered comments from the President's National Bioethics Advisory Commission (NBAC), Congress and the general public.
The draft guidelines will be open for public comment for 60 days. The NIH will not fund research using human pluripotent stems cells until final guidelines are published in the Federal Register and an oversight process is in place.
The draft guidelines will be available on December 2, 1999 in the Federal Register at http://www.nara.gov/fedreg/. Comments should be addressed to: Stem Cell Guidelines, NIH Office of Science Policy, 1 Center Drive, Building 1, Room 218, Bethesda, MD 20892. Comments may also be sent by facsimile transmission to Stem Cell Guidelines at (301) 402-0280, or by e-mail to: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Additional information about stem cells can be found on the NIH Web site at

Scots pupils face exam in Boris comprehension
Posted on May 14, 2011 by Gary Dunion | 3 Comments
Legend has it that young hopefuls applying to be Hansard clerk in the House of Commons used to be presented with a recording of John Prescott in full flow and asked to transcribe, in the official record style, what the Deputy Prime Minster meant to say.
Now Scots teenagers hoping to excel in their Higher English exam have been set an even more Herculean trial – identifying what Boris Johnson is on about in one of his rambling Telegraph columns, for which he receives, you'll recall, a "chicken feed" nominal payment*.
Handed a copy of the Mayor's unsurprising views on the subject of video games, students in schools across Scotland yesterday were asked to undertake impossible tasks such as accounting for His Blondness's choice of words like "ratiocination" and "Phooey!".
You can peruse this cruel and unusual academic punishment in all its glory below. I'm sure we can arrange a small prize for the best answer to any of the Scottish Qualifications Agency's questions – please make your submissions in the comments. If you dare.

just had to sit this exam yesterday! I found the article hilarious and after looking around the hall and seeing the grins on all the other candidates it seems they had the same reaction!
P.S if you haven't all ready read Boris' article then be sure to look at the final sentence its priceless!

how dare someone who uses the word "Phooey" think they can write an article about literacy.

< The cost of Spitzerism | Main | Overrated >
May 20, 2008
And you thought the Mitchell Report was ugly?
So, the controversy over the Mitchell Commission Report has pretty much died down, right? Well, it looks as if another potential public relations nightmare is brewing for Major League Baseball:
Tucked away inside the United States attorney's office in the Northern District of California are documents that link more than 100 major league baseball players to positive tests for steroids conducted in 2003.
The test results were meant to be anonymous, and a battle over access to them has wound its way through the federal court system. The players union has tried to protect its members by arguing that the government illegally obtained the information.
But now, more than four years after federal agents seized the test results as part of the investigation into the drug-distribution activities of the Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative, the government appears close to prevailing in the legal battle, which could set off another round of federal drug investigations.
According to a lawyer who spoke on condition of anonymity because the government's plans are supposed to remain confidential, federal authorities will seek to question each of the 104 players about where and how they obtained the substance detected in their urine samples.
The authorities then intend to distribute the information they receive to federal prosecutors around the country.
Distributors, not users, have been the focus of the government's investigations into performance-enhancing drugs ever since the authorities began seriously looking into the issue in 2002. But the 104 players would be asked to provide testimony — to federal agents or before grand juries — to lead investigators to the distributors. The players' identities could become public if their testimony is used in government documents to obtain search warrants or to charge individuals. The players could also be called as witnesses at trials.
Regardless of how many of the 104 names eventually become public, the notion of simultaneous drug investigations being conducted by various federal attorney's offices around the country would be a significant setback to Major League Baseball, which has struggled to get control of the issues related to performance-enhancing drugs. [. . .]
Read the entire article. The MLB Players Association has to be kicking itself for not insisting on the destruction of the "anonymous" drug tests, which were conducted during the 2003 season. Under public pressure to agree to some regulation of performance-enhancing drugs, the Players Association had agreed to the 2003 testing as a "survey" under which all players would be tested one time and 240 players would be randomly tested a second time with neither group being under any threat of punishment. Subsequently, discovery in connection with the investigation into the Balco case in Northern California transcended the deal between Major League Baseball and the Players Association, so now it appears that there is a good chance that a master list of all players who tested positive during the 2003 testing may well become public information. The list won't be released tomorrow or even next week, so most of the mainstream media will continue to focus on such sideshows as the Mindy McCready affair. But you can bet that Major League Baseball and the Players Association can hear the clock ticking on this one.
