Dear Inconsiderate pooper at Target in the Unisex restroom. Please, if you poop on the toilet seat, can you be kind enough to clean up your own shit so you don't make the person who comes in next gag. Sheesh, you wipe the shit off your ass, is it so difficult to clean it off the seat? And, BTW, WHY ARE YOU SHITTING ON THE SEAT????!!!!!??????????? ...............................just sayin'.
To add to this idea of shit...
To those people that let there dogs roam my neighborhood and shit anywhere and everywhere they want, mainly my yard, I am going to collect my DD diapers for a week and dump them in your yard and see how you like that. I'll put them out there on a real hot day too! [BTW, I know this sounds disgusting, it just frustrates the hell out of me to step in someone else's dog shit in my own yard.]
Just sayin'
Re, the pooper post, I had to check your profile to see if bychance you lived near me. (Doesn't look like it.) I have an acquaintance who does exactly what you described. Ever since gastric bypass, evidently the guy runs "loose". Whenever one of us has a gathering at their home and this guy's included, we take turns being on "poop patrol", notifying the hostess if the bathroom needs cleaning after he's used it. He seems oblivious ~ how can you NOT notice you just crapped on the toilet seat? If it were me I'd be mortified and take Clorox wipes everywhere I went.
Sorry for the gross tmi, it just blows my mind that someone does this routinely at other's homes! And I guess none of us want to have 'that' conversation with him.
Edited to add:just sayin'!

"Including the more able entrepreneurs who have to shoulder a bigger portion of the tax burden to achieve this."The brain doesn't always work too well, but I seem to remember a recent radio story that said that in Europe, the heaviest tax burden is actually on the middle class. It's only in America that we think the rich should shoulder most of the burden.Might have been an opinion piece though. FWIW.
Douglas, this is generally true, because the richest entrpreneurs can afford the cleverest accountants and lawyers to assist them in avoiding/evading the taxes they ought to pay.
"in Europe, the heaviest tax burden is actually on the middle class. It's only in America that we think the rich should shoulder most of the burden."This is generally true in most parts of the world. Those with wealth a) hold more power over politicians who make these tax decisions, and b) are able to bury their wealth in their businesses rather than as individuals. I have no issues with the second scenario, as this is what allows businesses to grow. The first case is a real worry for the middle class majority. I have absolutely nothing against business, or business owners. I just think that all of us should contribute to investment in social services as we are able. Just think Nick, back in your youth before you made you wealth, what would have happened to you if any number of accidents or illnesses had taken away your ability to work productively? Car crash, stroke, brain damage, broken neck etc...wouldn't you have wanted someone to look after you? The plain fact is that not everyone CAN work, while many others, due to misfortunes of upbringing or otherwise, can't get work that pays enough to afford education and health care. It's not an issue which is going to go away unless society as a whole rises up and says "let them rot and die...they are useless to us and not worth supporting". There is a woman who is working in our lab, part time, who suffered a high neck injury which has left her with minimal use of her arms. She is working towards her Master of Science. Her efforts are Herculian IMHO, but she would not have been able to pursue this goal without a tremendous amount of support from society-free tuition, health care, home care, taxis, living expenses etc...she can and wants to work, and has much to contribute intellectually, but can't possibly do it on her own. Would you really have the heart to tell her to just go to charity? I wouldn't, and maybe that's just a fundamental difference between you and I which no amount of words will ever resolve. I am more than happy to be taxed to support those who need help, but like everyone I don't wish to pay taxes to support lazy greedy people.
"The point is that there are more opportunities for Americans to be successful than in any other time in history. Technology keeps opening more doors every day."Many of those jobs require a good education, the kind that people would have to pay for on their own from kindergarten on up in your ideal state. I doubt that very many would be able to walk through that open door. In the real world, our education system is a mess, no doubt about it, and produces insufficient numbers of people qualified for those plum jobs that do stay in this country; hence H1-B visas and Indian insourcing companies operating here that import qualified Indians to fill empty positions.Many others are outsourced, so even qualified US citizens don't have access to them. Also, to the degree that technology increases the productivity of individual workers, it reduces the need for same and, therefore, closes many doors. Where we do agree is that the education system needs to be totally reworked. Where we disagree is in who controls that effort and who pays for it."So what if all these businessmen went on strike, instead of the workers who have historically gone on strike? What if the businessmen said, okay we are tired of you taking advantage of us."Hunger is the ultimate strikebreaker. ;)
"Point here is that the founders of Microsoft created the those jobs... not the employees. Americans need businessmen to create jobs."And Americans need to have affordable access to a decent education to prepare them for those jobs, along with controls on outsourcing in order to make sure that it is Americans who fill those jobs your businessmen create. As long as they can outsource to a country where equally qualified workers can be found who will work for half the wages necessary to have a decent standard of living here, it doesn't much matter if an American is qualified or not. The job will be overseas. Since you mention Microsoft, it is worth noting that it is establishing its major new research centers in India and China, not here, and roughly 40% of Microsoft's US employees hail from India and China, particularly India, due to the general proficiency of Indians in English. IBM is following the same strategy, and currently has 75,000 employees in India while having cut 30,000 jobs here in the US.BTW, I am not anti businessman. As you have clearly explained, they are the driving force behind the creation of many jobs. I also agree that there is nothing wrong in acting in their own perceived self interest and enjoying the fruits of their efforts, up to a point. Where I take issue with your premise is where the principle of acting in one's own self interest becomes a destructive force in society. There are many, many examples from history, including slave labor, child labor, dangerous working conditions, colluding with the authorities to deny workers the right to organize for better wages and working conditions, monopolies/anti competitive practices, and pollution, all of which have required government intervention to mitigate. Many of these practices continue to this day, aided and assisted by legions of corporate and small business lawyers and lobbyists. Self interest, unrestrained by an outside countervailing force can all to easily become a force for evil. IMO, that is beyond dispute.

Was catching up and looking up a statistics and saw an article about Joey Mazzarino, the head writer of Sesame Street, is also a Muppeteer. He wrote a song for his daughter. Mazzarino is Italian. He and his wife adopted their 5-year-old daughter, Segi, from Ethiopia when she was a year old.I Love My Hairhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enpFde5rgmwVivid example of the world's harshness, but also of our capability to use technology and creativity to attempt to make a difference.
"To me, this whole thread is about the need to recognize the importance the intellect and the role intellectuals play in our world. We cannot exist without an ongoing dialogue of ideas and independent minds that come up with original ideas."Original ideas - exactly, like the insight that rising levels of atmospheric carbon might be causing climate change."And alert minds challenge ideas where appropriate, they do not just accept the flowery-phrased rhetoric of so called experts who have their own hidden agendas."Experts like the people who deny global warming who just happen to be funded by the petrochemical industry? Like I've said a dozen times already: I've worked professionally around climate change for two decades and it's only recently that the paranoia industry got going: prior to that it was just science and climate scientists weren't being called communist conspirators. Who started the anti-CO2 movement? I actually studied meterology way back in 1983 and even then our lecturer was pointing out the science of global warming. He was also big on pointing out how meteorological events had contributed to a lot of history's pivotal events, for example the French Revolution. The message was pretty clear: deal with the world as it is rather than how you would like it to be - or suffer the consequences. "To [sic] many folks accept the mumblings of experts, akin to the declarations of the witch doctor in some primitive tribe."Frankly that's idiotic. Professional climate scientists' reports are the result of scientific research, peer review and are heavily qualified - nothing I have read from the CSIRO for example could be considered "mumblings": but if you want to read senseless, incomprehensible twaddle then check out blogs like "whats up with that". Plenty of mumbling there.And, for the record, characterisations of non-European societies as "primitive" were recognised as racist decades ago. Actually, make that generations ago. "The Carbon Flame War is not going to be won or resolved by politicians. It is not a matter of politics, it is a matter of science. Science can resolve it with the "scientific method," not a scientific political agenda."That could not be more ironic coming from the people who did politicise climate science, do have a political agenda and continually reject and vilify the science and scientists who apolitically drew scientific conclusions that were not to their taste. The point is that science and the scientific method have in fact come to a conclusion - but for whatever reason yourself, Rog and others don't like what you're hearing.
By the way I posted photos of my new bike over on the bike threads. Also did 230 ks on it on Sunday in Around the Bay in a Day.Just doing my bit to reduce CO2 levels.
Arapiles says:for whatever reason yourself, Rog and others don't like what you're hearing.It's more that we don't like what we've been discovering about the things we don't hear about.*Temperature records tampered with by 'climate professionals', then "lost" when required under freedom of information law.*Gaming of the peer review system through group manipulation and threats against journal editors.*Ignorance of the basic laws of physics and cause and effect.*Ludicrous estimations of climate sensitivity derived from models falsified by the real world empirical data.*Pressure on graduates to conform to the 'consensus'.*"Using Mikes 'Nature' trick to hide the decline." - Phil Jones UEA - Leaked Cru emails.*Inability to admit to uncertainty levels in public - "We can't explain the lack of warming at the moment, and it's a travesty that we can't" - Kevin Trenberth - Leaked Cru emails.*Hiding of data so replication can't be done. - Keith Briffa and the cherry picked outliers from the Yamal series of treering chronologies - hidden for nearly 10 years.*"No statistically significant warming since 1995." - Phil Jones - UEA CRUEtc Etc Etc...We keep telling you these reasons, but you seem to feign ignorance of them on a regular basis, and then accuse us of not liking what we hear. Lol.Arapiles says:Just doing my bit to reduce CO2 levels.I hope you held your breath while you were cycling those unnecessary 230km's. If not, the carbon police will be around with a surfeit emissions bill soon. They have to generate cash to cover the $2,000,000 awarded to Michael Mann to study 'mosquito vectors' somehow you know. ;-)

"*Temperature records tampered with by 'climate professionals', then "lost" when required under freedom of information law.""Climategate" was investigated by, what 3 separate enquiries? And all said the same thing - there'd been no systematic rorting of data. The worst there had been was some injudicious language? But you don't accept the results of those enquiries? What was that about not liking what you were hearing?"Falsification of real world empirical data" - you mean the retired school principals running around trying to find badly placed weather observation stations? Seriously - if the science was so weak then the only explanation for the consensus amongst real climate scientist would be some incredible, global conspiracy. Oh, that's right - that's what's happening. ROFL ROFL
Arapiles says:But you don't accept the results of those enquiries?(sic)Let's see now, there's the Inquiry into Phil Jones where the the person invited by the Inquiry to decide which of Jone's papers would be investigated was... Phil Jones!http://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/07/19/breaking-phil-jones-got-to-endorse-papers-for-oxburgh-inquiry/That was the Inquiry which was chaired by the man (Lord Oxburgh) who has a paid position on the climate advisory panel of Deutsche Bank which stood to lose $billions in carbon scrip if an adverse result was given.The other U.K based Inquiry was the commons select committee enquiry which was specifically instructed that assessing the science was not in it's terms of reference. (!!)Oh, and then there's the Inquiry into Michael Mann's CRU emails which interviewed two people, a compliant journal editor and a man who has defended Mann before, who didn't know anything about anything.http://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/10/16/michael-mann-and-donald-kennedy/http://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/10/19/exonerated-not/And you think I should take these 'Inquiries' as a vindication of the activities of a clique of 'climate professionals' at the centre of a young discipline called 'climatology' which has successfully leveraged hundreds of millions in research funding from the public purse using a scare story? Against which scare story there is a mountain of peer reviewed evidence which proves it doesn't stand up to scientific scrutiny and whose promoters have flushed the scientific method down the toilet for a fistful of dollars. Are you having a giraffe? Have you joined the circus with Ramblin' Rick Dreher the vuvuzela player and become a climate clown?Arapiles says:the only explanation for the consensus amongst real climate scientist would be some incredible, global conspiracy. Oh, that's right - that's what's happening. ROFL ROFLOK Coco, here are a couple more facts for the BPL readership to consider when deciding how tightly knit the climate scare mongers might be at the highest levels..."The chair of the Panel on Public Affairs (POPA) that re-endorsed the 2007 APS Statement on Climate Change sits on the science advisory board of a large international bank http://annualreport.deutsche-bank.com/2009/ar/supplementaryinformation/advisoryboards.html The bank has a $60+ billion Green portfolio, which it wishes to assure investors is safe…not to mention their income from carbon trading. Other members of this board include current IPCC chief Pachauri and Lord Oxburgh, of Climategate exoneration fame. The viability of these banks activities depends on continued concern over CO2 emissions." "Then there is the member of the Kleppner Committee (that reviewed the APS 2007 Statement prior to POPA) who served on that committee while under consideration for the position of Chief Scientist at BP. The position had been vacated when Steve Koonin left to take a post in the administration at DOE. Soon after the Kleppner Committee report in late 2009, this committee member took the BP job. BP had previously funded the new Energy Laboratory at Berkeley, which was headed by current Energy Secretary Steve Chu."I wonder if you'll try to dispute any of these inconvenient truths Arapiles, or will you just block your ears and give me the usual "Lah Lah Lah conspiracy theory Blah"?

If you can't take it back guys, then don't dish it out.
"If you can't take it back guys, then don't dish it out."Non-sequitor! Cannot parse.
Let me spell it out for you Lynn.Rick Dreher calls me a liar for describing Joe Romm as a paid propagandist and invites me to substantiate my claim, which I do, in detail, and invite him to apologise for calling me a liar.tumbleweeds and crickets.Then Arapiles insinuates that I'm a conspiracy theorist. So I provide strong evidence that the Krypto Klimate Kleptocracy is up to no good and invite a reply.More tumbleweeds and crickets.Get it now?Remember what you said about not liking paying taxes to undeserving people? The UK domestic energy bill is now about 15% higher because of this crap. And that's not including the huge price hikes since last year, just the new "Green Tarriff".Pensioners have been found burning second hand books to keep warm in the recent freezing winters these jokers told us were a thing of the past.
Edited by tallbloke on 10/19/2010 15:25:13 MDT.
Well, I don't get it, mainly the reference to tumbleweeds and crickets.Yeah, there's been some dodgey science on both sides of the fence. Neither side has *proven* their position. Doesn't mean anthropogenic climate warming is, or is not, happening. I am still in the true skeptic camp in that I am skeptical of both arguments, but still keeping an open mind. It doesn't affect my actions, as reducing CO2 emissions is important to me for many environmental reasons, climate change aside.
Rog, now it's my turn to insist on accuracy, and you're not going to "win" on this one with me.That's not a cricket. It's a species of katydid (I'm writing from my iPhone and can't determine which sub-species yet). The photograph doesn't even show it in its natural habitat niche, which in this case would be tall grasses, not directly on the ground and not treetop canopy, where true katydids inhabit. It's not a grasshopper, either, because its hind legs are too long and the body too short and humped. This species doesn't chirp, but "zithers", quite a different sound. This one, because of the bulge of its abdomen and short wings, is probably a female, though i'm not sure because I can't see the egg prong.It is also not a tumbleweed. ;-P
The science is inconclusive for both sides but only one side of the argument has a vested interest in changing public policy.It's starting to seem that to a large extent "global warming" (the political movement that holds mankind responsible for unproven radical acceleration of the planets heating) has become a religion for those who have rejected traditional religion. It fulfills a basic need to "belong" and to "absolve oneself of guilt" and the need "to believe in something larger than ones self" many other strange idiosyncrasies of being human. It is, for the most part, a harmless delusion. As long as it is not used as a basis for public policy we should be o.k.As a basis for public policy it will probably lead to a lot of needless suffering. Of course "global warming" is worth thinking about (so are ice ages)because both will happen regardless of what we do And it is worth continuing to study and monitor earths climateIt's just that royal proclamations about the subject are a bit premature. Obamas "this is the day the earth will begin to heal" speech in front of the fake roman columns is already pretty funny. Just imagine watching it in ten years.Time will tell and history shall record.Besides there are a lot of possible threats that could skew the whole argument sideways. Consider a nuclear Iran and potential nuke war in the middle east for example. It is a much more serious and much more likely game changer. The problem is that it is a lot scarier and a lot harder to fix by changing lightbulbs and so it's just not as appealing as a political tool.Besides which it lacks a convenient tear jerking "poster child" like a sweating polar bear straddling his last ice cube. Ah well, best get back outdoors before the mountain tops get buried under salt water.
jeff,good post and "Ah well, best get back outdoors" is some of the best advice we can follow.Water might be a game changer, too.Eventually terrorists will strike with a nuke in a major city - most likely Europe or US - the could change focus.Deflation.Pandemic.The Church of Global Warming will morph into something else is my guess.Meanwhile, work, buy gear, go backpack - because no one knows the future.
Let's see... a cricket connection to liar.If Rog's nose is getting longer then he is a liar.Let's use science... Rog please post your nose for all to see.
Arapiles: I actually studied meterology way back in 1983 and even then our lecturer was pointing out the science of global warming. He was also big on pointing out how meteorological events had contributed to a lot of history's pivotal events, for example the French Revolution. The message was pretty clear: deal with the world as it is rather than how you would like it to be - or suffer the consequences. ====Interesting. During late seventies I took two geology classes. Both professors were passionate about two inevitable events: global cooling and running out of oil. I believed them. I'd waited in my car in long gas lines and spent time on an aircraft carrier in the Med - the oil politics helped the scientific arguments.There were record breaking winters and snowfall. What more did anyone need?I look back and wonder when did it all fade away. Gas got cheaper and bountiful. Winter became calmer. I don't remember thinking much about it. In about five years, the carbon flame war will fade away, too.Maybe we will follow Rog and each plant 100,000 trees. Or feed 100,000 people.

Lemonade Day in Houston is a project of Prepared 4 Life, a non-profit after school program for middle schoolers run by Michael Holthouse. He says there are too many very bright, capable young people who just don't see opportunities to succeed.
"So we're going into the schools and doing after school programs to help kids understand where are their strengths, and how they can create success out of their lives."
Prepared 4 Life offers 32-week programs that Holthouse says focus on social and emotional intelligence.
"Things like setting goals, a vision for your life, determination, giving up things in the short term for long term. It's the things our parents are supposed to teach us, but frankly are often times so busy that they don't."
Each child who signed up got a workbook on the business involved in setting up a lemonade stand.
"From getting an investor, to what are things you're going to need, doing the purchasing, to taste sampling and deciding your product, where are you going to put your stand. It really looks at the simple concept of a lemonade stand and it breaks it out into all of the business elements from revenue, to expenses to profit. It's unbelievable what they learn in a silly little lemonade stand."
"Lemonade for 25-cents, get your cup of lemonade for 25-cents."
Miguel Zaldivar was hustling up business on East 11th Street in the Heights, just across from Hogg Middle School.
"What I'm doing right now is wearing a poster that says Lemonade Day, and I yelling out so that people passing by on the streets to come buy lemonade."
Lesson learned; advertising is important and keep the message simple.
"Lemonade for 25-cents, you just have to yell out pretty much what you're advertising, lemonade, and how much it costs."
In the 900 block of North Shepherd Gerardo Vasquez was at a stand at the Taqueria Arandas. He put some thought into dressing for success.
"I had to get dressed a lot of time cause I didn't know what to wear."
And he's a hands on businessman.
"I helped squeeze the lemonade for a while."
"Is it good?"
"It's delicious."
A good entrepreneur is always selling.
Prepared 4 Life's Michael Holthouse thinks that we learn best when we experience things. That seems to be the case with Gerardo Vasquez as he thinks about his experience with Lemonade Day.
"Well I think I might learn that little kids can big things although it's sometimes hard."

A few years ago I lost my best friend and mentor, Bo Johnson, to lung cancer. Over the years I knew Bo I noticed he always treated people the way he would want to be treated, and was always one to speak the truth whether you wanted to hear it or not. Those philosophies are ones I take into my business every day. There are a lot of people in our business that constantly over promise and under deliver. It is because of these people that I'm able to succeed in our business and give unparalleled support to my advisors.
I could not be more blessed to be associated with the types of advisors I work with and the company I work for. To have been able to come right out of college into this type of environment is unheard of. I'm truly grateful for the people I work with and strive to bring them quality service and ideas for their business, have a genuine concern for their continued success in the business, and value like nothing they can find anywhere else.
Thank you for putting your trust in Financial Independence Group and me. I'm honored to work with you and for you, and will always be a teammate you can count on.

Melbourne: police want change in Church abuse investigations
Catholic World News - April 22, 2010
Australian police are pressing for a change in the way Church authorities in Melbourne investigate sex-abuse complaints. The Church uses an independent investigator to respond to such complaints. Law-enforcement officials say that the investigator, Peter O'Callaghan, has compromised police probes by warning suspects that they are being investigated.

A figure I have often seen quoted is that about one-third of German Jews just before Hitler took power married gentiles. This was to demonstrate that intermarriage is not a sign that all is well.
What is interesting about this statistic is that at the time it was supposed to show HITLER'S problem. Nowadays the same statistic is used to show the JEWS' problem. There was a major ad in the New York Times saying "Jews, be JEWISH!"
There is a lot of money dedicated by Jews advertising dating services to introduce Jews to Jewesses.
It took Hitler over two years after he took absolute power to promulgate the Race and Nationalities Act, prohibiting Jewish-Gentile marriages. There is no way one could say that the legislation was stuck in some congressional committee.
When the media began in 1962 to refer to Barry Morris Goldwater, National Review called up the shades of Hitler. They pointed out that giving the full name of a Jew was the Nazi method of pointing out he was a Jew.
Hold it, gang! Didn't Hitler, of all people, just refer to somebody as "Jew."
Why not?
Because there were laws against it. That was why they had to put in the full name if it sounded Jewish enough.
If I remember correctly Henry Ford stopped attacking Jews when a civil suit was brought against him by Jews. This did not stop the KKK from reaching a membership of about four million. The KKK was destroyed by corruption.
But if the facts get in the way, there is a way to deal with it. Just say that the reason Hitler never took power in Germany was because of those strong hate laws that kept even Adolf, to some extent, muzzled.
And if anyone points out that Hitler did indeed take power in 1933, put them in prison.

Navigating Today's Geo-Security Risks and Vulnerabilities
On March 12, 2009, President Barack Obama in remarks at the National Defense University (NDU) discussed many of the challenges facing the country and international community alike - from terrorism to violent extremism to the proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs), from organized crime and cybersecurity to human security issues such as pandemic disease, social conflict and poverty. At NDU, President Obama underscored a need "to develop the capacities that we need to confront emerging danger and to act with purpose and pragmatism to turn this moment of peril into one of promise". The President further said, "That is how we will find new pathways to peace and security."The President's message is relevant beyond just his immediate audience at NDU, or even the broader national security community. Given the complex world that we live in today, we need all segments of our society working together developing the "new approaches and new capabilities" and security footprints against the threats and challenges we are confronting globally.
Of equal concern are the illicit nodes where criminal syndicates are active in supporting terrorist groups by facilitating their clandestine trans-border movements, weapons smuggling, and forging of documents.
Similarly, in the crime-terror nexus, terrorist groups appear to be resorting to organized criminal activity as a means of self-financing. According to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, 19 of the 44 groups that the U.S. Government has designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) participate in the illegal drug trade and many also engage in financial and other forms of crime. Besides drug trafficking, these activities include direct involvement in arms smuggling, commodity smuggling, goods smuggling, migrant smuggling, trafficking in persons, extortion, kidnapping, intellectual property theft, counterfeiting, fraud, credit theft, armed robbery, and money laundering. As terrorist groups begin to increasingly take on characteristics of organized crime entities, our international response will need to incorporate more of the tools used by law enforcement to combat organized crime.Furthermore, transnational criminals are pioneering increasingly sophisticated criminal operations. Among the most prevalent today include cyber crime, identity theft, financial fraud, on-line gambling (money laundering), and intellectual property rights (IPR) piracy. Cyber and financial crimes are becoming more prevalent throughout the world as criminals have become more computer-savvy, capitalizing on the absence of regulation and law enforcement entities' failure to adapt to apparent "digital safe havens" and expanding through recruitment of young "techies" into their criminal organizations.
"With smart power, diplomacy will be the vanguard of foreign policy." --Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham ClintonThe State Department's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), which is responsible for international counter narcotics and counter crime issues, leads diplomatic efforts to raise awareness of the destabilizing impact of transnational organized criminal activities to the community of nations and to strengthen global efforts to combat these threats. We are enhancing international cooperation to dismantle criminal networks and combat the threats that they pose -- not only through law enforcement efforts, but also by building up governance capacity, supporting committed reformers, and strengthening the ability of citizens to monitor public functions and hold leaders accountable for providing safety, effective public services, and efficient use of public resources. We are also coordinating within the government and internationally to employ full spectrum capabilities and dynamic responses to combat the global illicit architecture and pathways that runs across the crime-terror continuum.
Fighting Networks with Networks
Prosecuting the battle against converging threat networks is not an easy endeavor -- we must take the fight directly to these threats, dismantle transnational threat networks, and unravel the illicit financial nodes that sustain a web of criminality and corruption. It will require a constant evaluation of the types of illicit threats that will confront us all in the years to come.President Obama is committed to a renewal of American leadership, a revitalization of our alliances, and a reinvigoration of international cooperation that is essential to promoting our interests and values in the 21st century. Together, the United States working with our partners, can combat these threats decisively by combining our joint efforts against terrorism, transnational crime and corruption across the international community, developing strong law enforcement and dynamic multi-disciplinary threat mitigation approaches, and enhancing our cooperation through public-private partnerships.

Smart about streets
City warns of Kemp Blvd. lane closures
Wichita Falls motorists can expect the southbound lanes of Kemp Boulevard to be closed for two to three weeks beginning today.
Weather permitting, Wichita Falls residents need to be prepared for the lane closures during the construction of curb inlets and the installation of storm sewers between Piedmont Place and Avenue Y, near Maplewood Avenue.
Glenn Soerens, project manager, was adamant that all businesses will be accessible while the project is ongoing.
"There are going to be occasional lane closures going southbound. Most of the work is going to be done along the curbside, but access is going to be maintained to businesses," Soerens said.
Northbound lanes of Kemp have been under construction for some time already.
Soerens said the new curb inlets catching rain water will deliver it to the storm sewer trunk line that went into the northbound side.
The project, which began Aug. 20, aims at alleviating flooding issues with the construction of a new storm sewers and water
mains along Kemp Boulevard between Maplewood Avenue and Piedmont Place.
A&M Construction and Utilities was contracted by the city to complete the 100-day project, and should be complete by December.
The release urges residents to reduce speed in the area, adhere to all traffic signs, and watch for construction crew members.
"It provides a safe working environment for the construction crews that are going to be out there in a lane of traffic," Soerens said.
After the inlets are installed and storm sewers installed, the project will be complete. Soerens said while they have the road torn up, they are replacing old water mains as well.

As seen below, the average sales price has been pretty strong over the last year when comparing 3rd quarter to 3rd quarter respectively. On average, this is a little misleading as there were a few bigger sales. This is in comparison to fewer homes sold in the last year and thus 1 or 2 big sales do skew average prices...

My friend's mare has typical marish attitude and we really like that about her.
But lately when we're out, if she thinks she's getting left behind she'll give a buck or two in annoyance if she isn't allowed to gallop to catch up. She also will refuse and offer to buck if she is expected to walk out before the other horses after mounting.
She is not normally a difficult horse to manage and she gives up pretty quickly if you let her know you won't take any nonsense from her. I've ridden her quite a bit without any problems, but she has gotten really bonded to my gelding who is also her pasture mate.
My friend's a good rider but easily scared because of a really bad fall several years ago.
Any suggestions how to nip this in the bud? I've never had to deal with a bucker--I know you keep their head up, but I would also be inclined to give her a good smack with the crop if she tried this trick with me.
Is there more we should be doing?

For the sake of those who don't understand the title of this article and what it's meant for, am going to explain before diving into the coding aspect.
I know at one point when browsing, you must have come across a link telling you to scroll to top or down the website. Also you will notice that this scroll links or button doesn't load in your browser unlike other HTML links.
Practical Example
When you click here, you automatically taken to the bottom of this post.
It might note work when click the first time, if it reload this page, click again and see what am talking about.
Step In Implementing Scroll to Top or scroll bottom feature
- Firstly we have to create an html link with the href value containing the CSS id selector name. Example: we going to use #top as our CSS ID i.e  scroll top
- We need to add the CSS id used in the HTML href value above in any suitable html tag and place it where you want the link to scroll to when clicked.
Example: add this html tag where you want the scroll to stop  .
Apart from tag , you can also use ,
 etc so far, the css id is specified
- You may change the css id from top to any word so far, the ID are same in the html link and the scroll location html tag
To some people, it not new, but i bet, most webmasters don't even know this trick. I have seen some using just the html link with href value #top without placing a html tag with the ID to determine where the scoll should go.

I was a guide in Denali NP during the summer of 2008. It rained almost every day for all of July and the first week of August this year, and I was out in it all day, every day.My MontBell Peak Shell jacket has performed exceptionally well. It's light at ~11oz. The fabric breathes very well—it's not eVent, but it's the closest I've found. The features are very good: high hand-warmer pockets, long pit zips, stretch velcro cuffs, a drawstring hem, and a full-featured hood. The water resistance is very good; I haven't wet it out yet. I've also been surprised at the durability; regular bushwhacking through nice'n'thick alders and willows hasn't made a dent. The fit is good for me—I'm long-limbed but short-waisted. Lastly, the price is reasonable at $200 MSRP, significantly less if you catch a sale.Highly recommended.

Keep Your Kids Entertained This Summer in Tyler Without Breaking the Bank
Summer break is something kids look forward to the day school starts. Summer means no teachers, no homework, and nothing but fun. But for the parents, summer break isn't always that great. You have to keep your kids entertained so they aren't driving you crazy with the "Mom, I'm bored. Can we please go do something>" But, you also don't want to spend a ton of money, if any, to keep them entertained. Here are five places in Tyler that are guaranteed to keep your kids entertained for a small fee or, even better, for free!
Splash Park at Faulkner Park
The free splash park at Faulkner Park is one of Tyler's best kept secrets. It's hidden away behind the baseball complex and tennis courts. Not only is there the splash park, but walking/biking trails and playgrounds as well.
Tyler State Park
Tyler State Park is the best lake spot in Tyler. With areas for young children, a dock in the middle of the lake, and more, it's obvious as to why. You can also pay to get some canoes, kayaks, and other things to keep your kids occupied.
Brookshire's Wildlife Museum and Park
I remember going to the Brookshire's Wildlife Museum and Park when I was younger. It was always so much fun and interesting as well. When you're finished with the museum, let the kids run around and get all of their energy out at the playground outside.
Discovery Science Place
The Discovery Science Place has been a staple in East Texas for many many years. DSP has different areas full of fun and learning for kids of all ages. It's even kind of fun for adults!
Times Square Cinema Summer Movie Specials
I hadn't heard of this until recently. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, Times Square Cinema airs classic children's movies for only $1 a ticket, or $3 for a kids combo.

Once again, home-court advantage throughout the Western Conference playoffs will be on the line when the Thunder and Spurs meet Thursday night.
Oklahoma City Thunder: OKC, San Antonio Spurs to battle for home-court advantage
Unlike last season, when San Antonio won 24 of its final 27 to take the top spot, the Thunder now has a chance to control its own destiny.
If the Thunder wins out, it will finish at 62-20 and go into the postseason as the No. 1 seed for the first time. That would give the Thunder all potential Game 7s at home through the Western Conference Finals.
San Antonio, which is a game and a half ahead of the Thunder, still could finish with an identical 62-20 record under that scenario. But since both the Spurs and Thunder lead their respective divisions and the four-game regular season series between the two teams would be split, Oklahoma City would win the next tiebreaker, which is conference won-lost percentage. Even if both teams won out following a Thunder victory Thursday, the Thunder would own a 39-13 conference record while the Spurs would finish at 37-15 in the West.
"We want to get the best seed possible. We're not going to shy away from that," said Thunder coach Scott Brooks. "But once you get in the playoffs, anything can happen. Just because you have the 1 or the 2 seed that doesn't necessarily mean you're going to advance."
But history shows it helps immensely when it comes to a potential Game 7.
Since 1948, home teams are 89-22 in Game 7s. That's an 80 percent success rate.
"It's always nice to have an extra game, if needed, on your home floor," Brooks said. "Especially our floor. It's such an important part of our success with the fan base that we have."
The Thunder overcame the Spurs last year despite San Antonio having home-court advantage in the Western Conference Finals. But that was largely because OKC won Game 5 in San Antonio before closing out the series at home. Still, that series victory was a long shot. After falling into an 0-2 hole, the Thunder essentially overcame 1-in-16 odds in that improbable comeback.
And that was with James Harden.
Should the Thunder and Spurs meet again in the conference finals, Oklahoma City will go in with the inferior supporting cast. It's the opposite of what we saw last year and the thing that could make owning home-court advantage that much more critical.
Harden single handedly alleviated numerous Thunder weaknesses a year ago, but mostly the team's susceptibility to scoring droughts. San Antonio had no answer for his playmaking and perimeter shooting.
Now, with Harden in Houston, the Thunder's bench is a work in progress at a time when San Antonio's complementary pieces have not only remained intact but also progressed.

DA rules Ventura police were justified in fatal shooting
The Ventura County district attorney issued a report Wednesday that exonerated three Ventura police officers in the Nov. 14, 2009, fatal shooting of Daniel Chilson.
Chilson was shot by police in the early afternoon of a Sunday after a long standoff in an industrial complex near Palma Drive in Ventura.
In addition to a history of mental health problems and domestic violence, Chilson was abusing methamphetamine at the time, investigators said.
"He had been fired from his job and his marriage was ending," states a 31-page report released by county prosecutors.
Police said Chilson had repeatedly threatened to kill himself in the days leading up to the shooting.
Chilson also told Simi Valley and Ventura police that he would harm any officers who came into contact with him, investigators with the district attorney's office stated in their report.
Investigators concluded Chilson was very depressed at the time.
"It is clear from the text messages that Chilson sent to his wife and her family that he was suicidal," the report states.
"He obviously wanted the officers to believe that he was ready to use deadly force because he repeatedly exhibited the firearm to officers while running away from the industrial complex where he was holed up," the report states.
The report concludes that Chilson's final actions appear to have been a classic example of "suicide by cop."
Chilson was being sought by Simi Valley police after a domestic dispute. Police used global positioning system technology to track Chilson's cell phone to an industrial area in Ventura.
While police believed Chilson was carrying a genuine weapon when he was shot, it was later found to be a BB gun that was a replica of a 9 mm Beretta semiautomatic handgun.
Police said he was running from them before he was shot.
Investigators said officers ordered Chilson to stop and drop the weapon. Chilson then slowed and began "to turn towards the officers with the gun raised in their direction," investigators stated in the report.
"Fearing for their safety, all three officers shot at Chilson," the report states.
Chilson was hit twice, with one of the wounds fatal.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
"Clearly, his actions indicated that he intended for the officers to shoot him," said Stacy Ratner, a senior deputy district attorney.
Chilson was about 75 yards from police when he was shot.
He was in the process of a second divorce at the time.
Police administered first aid to Chilson before paramedics arrived but could not revive him.

The recently passed New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement (NYSAFE) Act has gun-owners upset over its limits on guns and ammunition.
But a component of the law that is supposed to prevent severely mentally ill people from using guns to harm themselves or others has north country mental health care professional fearing it could have the reverse effect.
Jefferson County Mental Health Association Executive Director Theodore R. Tedd Stiles Jr., blasted the law, saying its very confusing and could create wide-spread stigma about mental illness.
People with mental illness may not seek treatment, he said, for fear of loss of their weapons, therefore putting themselves or others in potentially more danger if their illness is not managed.
Mr. Stiles said part of problem about the law is people do not understand mental illness, which he described as chemical imbalances in the brain that have symptoms that displays themselves through actions or behaviors. Drugs and therapy together helps those who are mentally ill restore wellness, he said.
People are often embarrassed to seek treatment for something they cant see, Mr. Stiles said. Theyre so locked in; the brain is telling them nothing is wrong. With mental illness, you dont realize theres another way to live.
Jefferson County Community Services Director Roger J. Ambrose said the vast majority of people dont understand the law.
Were also trying to decide what does this mean to us, he said.
People with mental illness, Mr. Ambrose said, already face losing housing, relationships, children and jobs. And in some cases, people who commit horrific crimes are not seeking treatment for their issues, Mr. Ambrose said. He said that if you applied the NYSAFE Act nationally, the only mass shooting in the last few years that likely could have been prevented was the Aurora, Colo., shooting, as it was reported by many media outlets the shooter sought treatment from mental health professionals.
The mental health portion of the NYSAFE act now requires physicians, psychologists, registered nurses and licensed clinical social workers in exercise of their reasonable professional judgment, to make a report for whom they are providing mental health treatment is likely to engage in conduct that will cause serious harm to self or others, according to a guidance document provided by the state Office of Mental Health.
The reporting system begins when that initial alarm, and the provider is required to make a report to the state Office of Mental Health. From there, the state office will alert local counties Community Services directors. Upon review of the report, Community Services offices may forward that report with only non-clinical information to the state Division of Criminal Justice Services.
They look to see if that person has a weapon, or license to carry a firearm, Mr. Ambrose said. Those are suspended and a law enforcement department if theyre in possession of a weapon – they have to look at retrieving those weapons.
That process may also be appealed, he said.
Jefferson County Sheriff John P. Burns said the sheriffs department, or state police, would retrieve any weapons outside of Watertown city limits. The Watertown Police Department would handle those issues inside the city.
It just went into effect last week, Mr. Burns said, regarding the reporting system. We havent had any issues since its been in place.
Within the first week, the sheriffs department has not had to retrieve any weapons.
If someone tries to purchase a weapon after theirs have been taken away, a federal firearms licensee will be alerted from the National Instant Criminal Background Check System whether that person is prohibited from receiving or possessing a firearm, according to the guidance document. The federal Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993, which the system is under, also prohibits the receipt or possession of firearms by an individual who has been adjudicated as having a mental disability or has been involuntarily committed to a mental institution.
The NYSAFE Act does not mean more training is necessary to handle situations involving people with mental illness, Mr. Burns said, as deputies went through school and learned how to handle those situations.
If a provider doesnt report something, either because they deem it not to be of concern or because they fear for their own safety, and a shooting occurs, the courts may decide who is responsible for any crime committed, Mr. Ambrose said.
Most Mental Health Association members have good therapeutic relationships, Mr. Stiles said, and so a lot of the NYSAFE Act hype may not even apply to them.
He said some common mental illness diagnoses include depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, dis-associative identity disorder, schizophrenia, and alcohol and substance abuse. Not all people with mental illness are crazy, he said, although that is what many people may assume.
The fight is way up hill, he said. To get society to change their views is very difficult.
The mentally ill are more apt to be the victim of a crime than the perpetrator, he added.

The experience of Deep Time is definitely a component of the DeepFUN experience. It's also a component of Csikszentmihalyi's description of Flow. It's also true that the experience of Deep Time can have nothing at all to do with fun. Like when you're in a traffic accident or when you forget your lines or when someone tells you that your zipper is open.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
I saw this program on television the other day that said each year when the clock moves to the next annual period you should "rest" your life. It should be a new beginning, a new start, and a new adventure.
Okay, when I heard that the cynic in me came out. I would do what they suggested, but there is a problem, actually many of them.
The first part of my life came before Dec. 31, and the rest of what is to come, is affected by that other part. So it can't be reset.
When I reset something it usually begins anew. If I reset the DVD player at my house, the time goes back to 12:00 and then the clock starts flashing until I set it correctly. Same with the microwave.
I can't quite do that with my life. Well I could to a certain point if everyone else in the world, and the universe as a whole, would cooperate in doing so.
On Jan. 1, 2014 I will still be old (and ugly, getting more so each day). I will still owe all my creditors money. I will still need to clean up the junk on the back acre of my property. I will still need to get the oil changed in my truck.
The problems I have today will just not go away because of a change in the calendar. I will still have a bum knee, one shoulder that is shorter than the other (broken collar bone many years ago) and kidneys that like to grow stones in them. If anything, I will just have more things going wrong with me health wise as I approach the point of being "elderly."
I will still own old vehicles, old dogs, and an old house that still needs lots of remodeling (much of which is partially done, another problem).
And while now I am at the age at which I could retire (with social security) I don't have enough money saved to do so.
My wife will still have a problem too. Me. So it would be difficult for her to reset her life as well.
There is no magic button to solve all these things or to "reset" them. But in a way I take solace in my very own problems. Mine are my own, and no one elses. However I constantly find other people who try to give me theirs as well.
The New Year is not a place to reset as far as I am concerned. It is a time to reassess. Look at your life and see what you can do better, or at least not any worse. And don't bite off more than you can chew; make your resolutions realistic.
I have always liked New Years Day. Most are bright and sunny, and seem to be the start of something new. And what's not to like; I usually get the day off.
My New Years Day will not be filled with wrangling over resolutions or "resets." I can do that on July 1 or Nov. 1 or any other time if I want to do it at all.
Nope. I will be watching football with my Border Collie at my feet, a piece of pizza in one hand and a beverage (perhaps an adult one) in my other hand.
Reassessment can wait for another day.
