Let me make this as clear as I can
Written by Andy Thursday, October 25, 2012 09:53 pm
Some apparently think I'm in some sort of group-hug political love rainbow, so I'd better clear up a few things that people (particularly in the media) have gotten seriously wrong.
So, OK, yes, I think Mr. Mourdock is a fine man. I should add that I've had nothing but pleasant civility and even friendly banter with Mr. Donnelly. I think that both of these men are gentlemen.
My appreciation of these fellows as good human beings has nothing to do, however, with why I applied for the job of US Senator from Indiana.
I disagree (do NOT agree) with both of those fine gentlemen on the role of the federal government in almost every particular, degree and way. They and I see politics through entirely opposed paradigms. They have chosen to represent the Two Party System, which most people should by now see is just one crony network; and I have undertaken to oppose that. That is a big deal. It is a big enough deal that there's hardly any point to talking ideology as long as the nation's run by a behind-the-curtain crime syndicate.
...Or did you think there was some other reason all D and R administrations end up doing the same thing; sending more of your money overseas, helping out banksters and campaign contributors, raising debt limits and keeping our military shooting all over the globe? Their "system" is Special Deals for Special People.
As a reminder, you and I are not the Special ones.
Follow the big campaign dollars. You really would see what I mean. This is not about Donnelly or Mourdock or even me. Our government is not a system of written laws and elected people – it's a corrupt mess and you know it. If you plan to vote for it again, you've got some e'splainin' to do!
I am about quite the opposite – total equality under law for all people ...including the wealthy and connected. One set of rules for all. This is, regrettably, a major paradigm shift from the status quo of lobbyists, special interest groups, lawyers, corporate and union laws...
Our current "system" is based upon, dependent upon, and thrives upon, disparity, opposition, destruction and discord.
I absolutely hate that. Our founders did too. What we have now isn't new, you know. We've gone backwards. Way backwards. What is still the newest, freshest and best thing in human social order is what we threw away. I want that back.
About that "Pro Life" versus "Pro Choice" litmus test...
All of us on that stage said we're "Pro-Life."
But what does that mean to even the most partisan voters anymore when we're really just testing and posturing about religion and feelings and we don't expect any policy making? It's a tribal identity question. It grates on me that we can never open up serious discussions on this serious issue that obviously has more than two sides...
So let me make this as clear as I can make it...
Both Donnelly and Mourdock believe that federal politicians (not state politicians – federal politicians) have the authority to determine whether and when women can have abortions. I do not. I believe that this authority constitutionally and pragmatically exists only (just as with murder and other such serious crimes) at the state level.
Besides the legality of it, you don't want Central Planning to get involved in this! The corruption is already too bad. Just imagine if Barclays PLC and Capital Group Companies, Inc., become global abortion providers – you'd have to get UN license to have a baby. Remember, the more centralized the power, the more difficult to monitor, control, or fight...(see USSR, 1922-1991)
Donnelly promises to personally limit his use of otherwise unlimited authority to prevent abortions except in cases of rape and health of the mother. I don't believe such power should exist that is limited only by personal restraint!
Mourdock said that he'd personally limit his use of otherwise unlimited authority to prevent abortions only for the life of the mother. Once again, I oppose such unrestrained and centralized power.
I do believe that interstate abortion disputes are matters for courts, not legislation. But court judgments are not law; which is a part of why Roe v Wade rankles so much.
Please see http://horningforsenate.com/files/THE-UNITED-STATES-CONSTITUTION-1211.pdf for details, but clearly Roe v Wade unconstitutionally usurped at least the federal separation of powers and states' powers (particularly Article I Section I, and Amendment 10). Powers not specifically granted by the constitutions are specifically denied.
By the restraining words of the constitutions, both state and federal, my opinions on abortion should make me the friend of Pro Life people via my stand on Roe v Wade and federal funding of abortions both here and abroad (through our funding of UNESCO, for example), but a friend of Pro Choice people with my stand on abortion itself as federal policy.
Of course, the fact that I don't fall neatly into one tribal label or the other makes me problematic for both tribes, apparently.
Oh well.
My defense of the constitutions, state and federal means some other very significant things that never came out in questionnaires, debates, or even the questions I field every day.
The other two candidates are inherently allied with our unconstitutional fiat currency/banking system. Even though Mourdock has said he's in favor of auditing the Fed (good start, but only if it's to End The Fed!), read his statements associated with that and you'll see that he's not at all about constitutional currency reform. This unconstitutional, monopolistic and in fact thieving banking system is one of the two faces in what I see as our real "Two Party System."
The other two candidates are also completely invested in our unconstitutional standing army/military-industrial complex. This is, of course, the other half of the true two-party system.
All through history, standing armies have required debt engines in the form of private, but quasi/peri-government-ish moneychangers and/or central banks. Central banks and the theft they entail would never be tolerated if not for the fear mongering, political mischief and ultimately, strong-arm politics, that goes along with standing armies and their incessant wars. Our wisest founders and more than a few Presidents warned us about this two-headed monster of a monopoly on money and a monopoly on arms.
I see these problems as structural, geopolitical problems that we must eliminate before they destroy our culture just like so many others before us.
Read the constitutions for my proposal on how to fix this...or just vote for me.
I was going to detail more differences between us; all the agencies, powers and laws I'd annul... but that'd be too much for anybody to read. So, just read the constitutions. I think in just the annotations I'd made, you'll see that, ideologically, I couldn't be more different from the other two.
One last thing: About this whole "the way things are" schtick that seems to be the only issue between voters, and me...
There has never been a two party system in law or practice in this country. The two parties made that up. It is a lie. And we were warned about this from even before Washington's famous warnings about political parties in his Farewell Address.
Do not believe that stuff about "you have to work within the system" when you know as well as I do that the system isn't working, won't last much longer, will end badly, and you don't even like it. Besides, the status quo likes the way it works, will not change itself, and is quite able to control those who choose to work within its gears. You don't have to trust me on this. Look around both now and in the recent past.
There've been plenty of fine people like Robert Taft, Barry Goldwater and Ron Paul who've tried to "work within the system." But our system is getting worse and worse. There is no positive movement. Quit fooling yourself. The historical clock is ticking.
Human societies are working on a multi-thousand-year success rate of...zero. 100% eventual failure rate so far. That should make us more humble and circumspect than we are.
You know that what we had here was extraordinary. It's what I hope we reclaim instead of going backward to the pre-Hammurabi authoritarianism that is our human default state.
Our founders took up guns against their own government so that you can overthrow your whole government with just a vote. That's what Election Day is for.
So quit blaming politicians. Quit blaming the system. You are the system. You choose how we're to live. You have all the power to fix everything, and you have all the accountability if you don't.
Choose wisely.
PRESS RELEASE: Andrew Horning: In defense of Richard Mourdock
Written by Jerry Wednesday, October 24, 2012 02:03 pm
Late last night on his facebook campaign page, Libertarian candidate for US Senate Andrew Horning posted the following statement regards Richard Mourdock's comment on abortion during last evening's Senatorial debate (http://www.facebook.com/
"I should probably just shut up about Mourdock's Moment and let votes come my way without standing in the way. I have nothing to gain and at least a little to lose by speaking my mind.
But I'd be a lousy man and I wouldn't sleep tonight if I were to withhold my thoughts on this. So, I must defend Mr. Mourdock, at least in this one little way.
You probably don't know how hard it is to stand up before cameras in this tense situation and try to say what you mean, and not say anything stupid. To do this with a clock ticking, and only a minute to be specific, clear and intelligible, is apparently impossible.
All of us slipped now and then.
God Knows that I certainly said things I wish I could retract, and didn't say much of what I'd meant to. In a minute, I could only formulate a thought and start to articulate it before the timekeeper's red STOP sign came up.
I want people to vote for me, of course. But I sure don't want anybody to vote for me based upon Mourdock's supposed gaffe for at least a couple of reasons:
1. That sort of hair-trigger reactive politics is a fair-sized chunk of flaw in human behavior that makes politics so inevitable, ugly and dangerous.
2. I understand what he meant, and... well...
I personally know women who'd been raped, and had abortions. While I don't personally know any women who'd been raped and bore the child, I've certainly heard plenty of stories of such women. And the only regrets I've heard are from the former group. I know many women who didn't have abortions were blessed beyond their hopes by their beautiful child – a child who was, after all, innocent of the brutality of her or his conception.
Everybody who knows me knows that my core philosophy of anti-aggression flows into a pro-life stance as well. While I insist upon constitutionality in my politics, and understand that most of the abortion debate should properly be argued at the state level, my personal feelings are far more like... Mr. Mourdock's.
While I would not unconstitutionally craft federal policy in this matter, I do agree with Mr. Mourdock that, if you have any notion of a deity at all, then God's Mercy could be seen in the birth of a child. No matter what else may have happened up to that point.
I'm sorry if that offends people who might have come my way by way of Mourdock's words. But I don't want anybody to vote for me under false premises or hasty judgments.
I've got to stand on my principles; which means I've got to defend my principles all the time. No matter how those chips may fall."

Candidate Responses - South Bend Tribune
ANDREW HORNING is the Libertarian candidate for U.S. Senate. He ran for Indiana governor in 2000 and 2008. He lives in Freedom, Ind.
Q. If the economy were again to teeter on the brink of depression, would you support a plea by either President Obama or President Romney for a stimulus effort through infrastructure projects? If so, what type of projects and with what safeguards against waste? If not, what other steps would you support in such a crisis?
HORNING: Absolutely not. This "broken window economics" has been continuously debunked for the past two centuries. It's also unconstitutional of course. The crisis has been caused by the (unconstitutional) central banking/money changing we were warned against for the past several thousand years, along with unconstitutional and immoral spending and action. The course we've been plotting since Nixon unilaterally ended the last vestige of the Bretton-Woods agreement is the historically tragic mix of military industry and money-manipulating elites that has always ended violently; we were warned of this by a dozen U.S. presidents! I propose rule of law under existing state and federal constitutions as written, instead. This means sound money as required by both state and federal constitutions, as well as dramatic cuts in that ungoverned monster we call "government," and an end to our global game of military "whack a mole." ....

Indy Politics - Spoiler Alert!
by Abdul Shabazz
Libertarian U.S. Senate candidate Andrew Horning says if Democrat Joe Donnelly wins in November don't blame him.
A recent Howey/DePauw poll which shows Donnelly tied with Republican Richard Mourdock and Horning was coming in at 7 percent.
That has led some Republicans to accuse Horning of being a "spolier" saying that if Donnelly wins it will be because he took votes away from Mourdock.
Horning dismissed that criticism saying if Republicans lose they have no one to blame but themselves.
You can hear Horning's comments below. They run approximately 11 minutes.

WIBC - Libertarian Senate Nominee Renews "End the Fed" Call
Proposal to return to gold standard comes as Bernanke speaks in IndyBy Eric Berman - firstname.lastname@example.com/1/2012
With Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke speaking in Indianapolis, a Senate candidate is renewing his call to abolish the Fed.
Libertarian Senate nominee Andrew Horning argues currency needs to be tied to the gold standard or something else with a fixed value for economic and constitutional reasons. The Fed was established in part to allow a more fluid money supply that could be loosened or tightened. Horning argues that power holds the same dangers as other monopolies: the lure of abusing that power is too "seductive."
Horning contends a fixed-value currency would boost the economy by assuring businesses of stability.
President Richard Nixon followed West Germany in decoupling U-S currency from the gold standard in 1971.

Indianapolis Star - Quit your complaining about 'wasted votes'
Oct 9, 2012Written by Abdul-Hakim Shabazz
My parents when I was growing up had a saying whenever one of my siblings displayed a sense of entitlement: "The only thing this world owes you is a you-know-what kicking." Shortly thereafter, that sense of entitlement went away.
I raise this subject because we are fewer than 30 days from the election. That means not only will silly season kick into high gear with more TV ads with grainy footage talking about how someone's opponent wants to eat puppies and use the elderly for skeet-shooting, but I also expect to hear more whining by partisans regarding third parties and how they are "stealing" votes from candidates who might otherwise win.
I hear this line the most from individuals who are ardent supporters of Republican U.S. Senate candidate Richard Mourdock when the subject of Libertarian candidate Andy Horning comes up. The recent poll by Howey Politics and DePauw University showed Democrat Joe Donnelly leading Mourdock 40-38 and Horning coming in at 7 percent. In social media circles, the debates rage fast and furious that candidates like Horning will steal votes from Mourdock and enable Donnelly to win.
A little reality check, if we may. ....
The fork in the road
Written by Andy Saturday, October 06, 2012 09:52 am
If you're a liberty-loving or small-government proponent, you should vote Libertarian or Constitution Party, or some independent who'll further your ideological wishes ...or even vote for some other "third party" or independent candidate who'll at least break us out of the bipolar paradigm.
Is it so hard to see that we should have listened to our wisest founders, a dozen US Presidents, and every chapter of human history going back to stone tablets? Is it so hard to see that we've fallen into the ancient scheming of behind-the-curtain power brokers pulling the levers of power?
There's much to debate about who our founders were, and what they bequeathed us. But they did unequivocally give us one thing of value that persists today: No Excuses.
They sacrificed vastly more than a push of a button on Election Day in order to give us the power to choose our way of life. We have what we've chosen. We have nobody else to blame for problems, and we have nobody else to turn to for a fix. Our political order perfectly reflects who we are, what we want, what we choose, and what (or who) we're willing to sacrifice in order to get what we want.
With the world's highest percentage of citizens in prison, with our armies in or pointed at most of the nations of the world, with endless wars, unsustainable debt, and money that's not worth its paper, I think the evidence suggests that we've been choosing very badly, for a very long time.
I suggest we change. And pronto.
OK, it's hard to admit when you've been wrong. I've made many bad choices in my life, and I've tried to defend a pretty high percentage of them. I know well that pointing my accusing finger at you is more likely to provoke a defense than a change.
But I don't know what else to do but speak truth to power. We The People really are, despite our whining, the power. And the truth is that We The People have been screwing up.
This is no office betting pool. It is no game. You have choices to make in the voting booth.
Please take a deep breath and think hard. Look at where we are. Understand that this is where we chose to be.

Andrew Horning, Candidate for Indiana US Senate
September 10, 2012
Freedom, IN: So far, I've become aware of a dozen public candidate events (debates, QA, meet/greet) that have been canceled because at least one of the other candidates prefer to purchase tightly controlled, pre-scripted messages, than face actual human interaction and hard questions.
This is not how elections should work.
Nobody but the elites and those who make their living as special interest group agents like "the influence of money in politics." But as long as voters keep voting for those that take the money and run, and as long as voters don't demand more real job interviews from candidates, the influence-peddling will continue to flourish.
Unfortunately, voters don't even know how bad it's gotten. They never hear about all the options on the ballot, let alone how the options they can see behave in the real world.
You'd never hire a janitor with so little scrutiny as we now expect with political candidates who seek control over your liberty, your property, and your life.
We even expect the candidates themselves to run the election process. We know that's expensive, we know where the money comes from, and we know that there are strings attached.
This is wrong. It is so very wrong.

Chris Spangle sits down to talk with US Senate candidate Andy Horning for an in-depth interview on running the first negative campaign on voters, why he keeps coming back, and what it's like inside the Republican Party.
Listen to the interview here.
So, you want to know what I'll do for you?
Written by Andy Thursday, December 01, 2011 08:34 pm
That's the question I hear the most: "What are you going to do for me?" But let me ask you; what have politicians done for you so far?
In his 1961 inaugural address, JFK ordered an about-face from the New Deal when he said, "…ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country." He then pushed for the biggest tax cut in history. The great orator, abolitionist, statesman and former slave Frederick Douglass said, "Do nothing with us, or by us, as a particular class. We now simply ask to be allowed to do for ourselves." Our "Founding Fathers" created a nation that had the simplest, thriftiest, most minimal government on earth, and this nation flourished like no other in history. Why did people ask less and get more back then? Why are we failing now? It's simple. The people who win power with promises are not the ones who help you every day.
Politicians don't make the discoveries that make our lives safer, longer, and more comfortable. Free-market, free-thinking artisans, inventors, scientists and entrepreneurs do that. Government doesn't build cars, nice houses and stylish shoes. It doesn't make espresso, or bicycle helmets, or leather sofas, or medicines. It doesn't make jumbo jets, computers or portable DVD players. Private businesses are launching spacecraft and building global telecom systems. Doctors can, without political intervention, open up a failing human body, replace the heart, and allow a life to go on.
Yet we've somehow convinced ourselves that without government, there'd be no roads. Some of us think that without government subsidies, there'd be no football, no art, no charity, no business. While we don't utter it anymore, there is a name for this thinking. We used to call it socialism, and Americans used to fight it. Now we whimper and beg for it; and we're getting it good and hard.
So, you want to know what I'll do for you?
Perhaps you call it "Spring Cleaning" when you look around, get disgusted with what you see, and purge your environment of anything that doesn't suit you. It's called good business when companies consolidate, drop ancillary operations and focus on core business. Whatever you call it, I will apply this wisdom to government again. It's worked every time we've tried it, and it works to the benefit of all. That sounds like a fair deal to me.

After two months of strong gains, Scotiabank's Commodity Price
Index edged down in October by 0.2% month over month. Risk aversion
returned mid-month, alongside another bout of concern over the
outlook for global growth. The All Items Index currently stands
14.1% below the near-term peak in April 2011 - just prior to the
advent of financial market concern over excessive Eurozone
sovereign debt - and has fallen by 5.2% this year.
"Oil and gas prices rose across the board in October, with
firmer natural gas and propane prices in Edmonton and Sarnia, as
well as slight gains in light and heavy crude oil in Alberta," said
Patricia Mohr, Vice President, Economics and Commodity Market
Specialist at Scotiabank.
While still low, natural gas export prices to the U.S. market
jumped from US$2.52 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) in September to
an estimated US$2.94 in October, after touching bottom at an
exceptionally weak US$2.06 last April. Expectations of a return to
normal winter temperatures across the U.S. and Canada - after an
abnormally warm winter last year - boosted prices, despite record
high U.S. gas-in-storage (3,908 billion cubic feet going into the
heating season in November).
International oil prices, as measured by Brent, rose as high as
US$115 per barrel mid-month, before losing ground to US$110 in
mid-November. Light oil prices in Edmonton also inched ahead to
US$93.14 per barrel last month and Western Canadian Select (WCS)
heavy oil to US$79.86, with the discount on WCS relative to West
Texas Intermediate (

Coast, the reversal of Enbridge's Line 9 from Ontario to Montreal
will provide another welcome market for Western Canada's oil,

Verizon drops price of Galaxy Nexus to $100 online
updated 01:57 pm EDT, Mon July 23, 2012
Verizon begins selling Galaxy Nexus for just $100 online, $150 in stores
The price of Samsung's Galaxy Nexus has once again been slashed over at Verizon, now being as low as $100 when purchased online. When buying the phone in a store, it will cost $150. Of course, a two-year contract with voice and data is required in either case.
This is the second significant price cut at Verizon, with the first one occuring three months ago, and slashing the price down to $200 from $300. The phone is priced at $650 without a contract, which remains unchanged from before.
The Galaxy Nexus was once the flagship Android 4.0 phone, but is now overshadowed by the more recent Galaxy S III. Unlike that phone, however, it is preloaded with a stock, or un-skinned, Android build. Verizon's Nexus otherwise offers an unlockable bootloader and receives OS updates on a timely basis.

Kristen Treni and Bradley Santer
The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art
May 14, 2011
Kristen Treni and Bradley Santer – from New York and Australia, respectively – met while auditioning for roles in High School Musical – On Ice (he scored the role of Troy Bolton, and she played Sharpay Evans) in April 2006. After nearly three years of long-distance romance, Bradley popped the question, and the two began planning their theatrical nuptials at Ringling Museum all the way from Australia.
What attracted you to Bradley the most?
His confidence, intelligence, and the way he makes me feel secure about anything and everything. And, of course, the most important--he makes me laugh. Our humor complements one another's.
How did he propose?
Bradley proposed while we were visiting some of our closest friends in Vancouver. He had a knee injury from skating, which forced him to leave our tour. We hadn't seen each other in four months, so we took a night away from the group and had a romantic dinner on the harbor. This was when he proposed–"Willyoumarryme?" was what spilled out in one word. I guess he was nervous!
Why Sarasota?
My mom moved to Florida in 2005. When I was home, before relocating to Sydney, she suggested I take a look at the Ringling Museum before I left. Sarasota is a beautiful location by itself, but when we took the day to visit the museum, it was an instantaneous decision. The venue is like a fairy tale. It has class, charm and I instantly saw the vision of perfection it could create as our backdrop. It felt original and extraordinary! Brad, on the other hand, didn't see the venue in person until the week of the wedding--but he was blown away.
What was the planning process like?
It was a bit crazy, as we began organizing everything from Australia. Although my mom lives in Sarasota, she only knew so much about planning a wedding there, so we hired a planner--Maria Brady from Choreographed Events. We did everything with Maria's guidance, from choosing vendors to choosing bachelor/bachelorette party venues. And the planning process was made even more difficult with a show I was cast for in Amsterdam--Holland's Skating With The Stars. So we were coordinating between Florida, the Netherlands and Sydney, where we were also planning a reception in Australia the month after our American wedding. So Brad and I spent the three months before our wedding apart yet again.
Were there any personal touches to your wedding?
Plenty! We wanted to put on a bit of a show for our guests, so we choreographed our wedding party entrances to You've Got The Love by Candi Staton. We also wanted to showcase our friends' talents: two of them wrote and sang songs during our ceremony, accompanied by our live musicians, Intermezzo Trio. We also incorporated our venue with one of our parting gifts–novelty Ringling Bros. graham crackers boxes.
One of our friends was the "flower boy," with a tophat full of rose petals he threw as he came skipping down the aisle. Then there were the candid speeches given by my "man of honor" and Brad's best man and the choreographed numbers from shows the skaters performed during our reception. Plus, with our bridal party entrances it was like a stage production finale call. All the details we incorporated into the day, the characters that were involved, the setting and the decor we chose were what made the whole event come to life in a theatrical way.
Tell us a little about your vendors.
All of our vendors were first class, from the food and drinks by Treviso to the flowers from the florists at Tiger Lily, who met our requests with stunning customized candlestick arrangements, to the detailed cake mimicking my dress and hairpiece design from Cakes By Ron. We couldn't have been happier! Having what we'd envisioned all come together and become a reality on the day was overwhelming.
What will you remember most about your wedding?
It rained all morning that day. Torrential rain. So when we had to go with our Plan B, I thought the day would be ruined. But about 30 minutes before the ceremony began, the sky went from dark to light. The sun shining down on all the wet made everything sparkle, and Plan B looked even more spectacular than Plan A.
Any tips for future brides and grooms?
It all happens too fast. There is so much that goes into the "perfect" day. Don't forget to soak it all in--get wrapped up in every moment because it's all for you and love of your life!

Employees of a South Central Kentucky Company say a flooded street didn't keep them away from work after heavy rains passed through the area.
Part of Cherry Street in Horse Cave was underwater.
The Wonder Company's front driveway was blocked and employees had to go in the building in a side entrance.
The employees say they didn't have any trucks coming in that afternoon, so the flooded street didn't really cause much of a problem.

Samsung invites media to Unpacked event, possible Galaxy Note 4 launch
updated 08:29 am EDT, Tue August 5, 2014
Pre-IFA event could see unveiling of Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy Alpha
Samsung is planning to launch new devices in early September, according to an invitation sent to members of the media. An Unpacked event is set to take place on September 3rd in Berlin, two days before the IFA tradeshow is set to take place, and based on items launched at previous Unpacked events at this time of year, it may be the launch venue for the Galaxy Note 4.
The German invitation published by SamMobile, now removed, appears not to provide any extra clues for what Samsung will be showing at the event. Even so, the Galaxy Note 4 is a firm favorite for a reveal at the event, though it could possibly be joined by other devices, such as the metal-clad Galaxy Alpha.
Cropped section of Samsung Unpacked invitation
Current rumors suggest the Galaxy Note 4 will have a 5.7-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED disiplay with stylus input, an optically-stabilized 16-megapixel rear camera, 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage. While it could have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor in North America and Asia, it is possible that the smartphone producer will opt for an Exynos 5433 64-bit processor for Europe.

Herr came from the 15th starting spot to grab the lead from Gregg Foster and become the event's fourth different leader on lap 64 -- two laps before the caution came out, ending the first segment of the 100-lap event.
From there, Herr ran away from the field, crossing a half-lap ahead of Chad Criswell, who edged 2012 Sportsman 100 winner Scott Dellinger at the line for the runner-up spot.
Herr had to start on the eighth row because he was only 17th fastest of the 33 cars in the field and then finished second in one of the two 10-lap qualifiers.
Polesitter Steve Fannasy led the first nine laps before giving way to outside front row starter Mike Enders. Enders paced the field through three caution periods and then a long non-stop run from laps 27 through 52, when a yellow flag came out for Chad Trout, who stopped on the front stretch.
When the green flag came back out on lap 57, Enders led for two more laps before Foster took over. At the time, Herr fought for every spot and had advanced to fifth.
Foster's lead was short lived, with Herr moving into third by lap 61, and then taking the runner-up spot from Enders one lap later.
Just before the break, Herr grabbed the lead from Foster coming off turn four as Foster's car began sputtering low on fuel. Foster faded to fifth, but was saved by the caution leading up to the 66th-lap yellow.
Criswell took the runner-up spot from Dellinger with two to go. Enders settled for fourth, with Foster holding for fifth.
Also Saturday, Dover's Gene Knaub make short work of the field in 20-lap 358 late model feature, catching Kyle Lear on turns three and four of lap four.
Knaub, who started third after the restart, crossed 2.81 seconds ahead of Lear, with Cam Zeigler, Bobby Beard, and Sam Gallagher completing the top five.
Susquehanna Speedway Park: York Haven's Billy Wampler took the victory in the Late Model 25-lapper at the Susquehanna Speedway Park on Saturday night in Newberrytown. Wampler also claimed his first SSP track championship by two points over Justin Ehrhart.
Hanover's Mike Walls won his fourth Street Stock feature event of the year, while Randy Zechman claimed his second consecutive SSP track championship in the division.
Cameron Benyou of New Cumberland won his first Xtreme Stock Car feature of the season, while Donnie Broderick claimed the XSC Track Championship.
Harrisonville's Logan Wagner claimed both the feature and the track championship in the PA Sprint Series 20 lapper.
Ricky Weaver of Dallastown took the Road Warrior win, while Daryl Sipe took the Road Warrior Track Championship.
And York Haven's Zakari Kitner took the Mini Van feature event victory and split the track championship with Donny Groff.

That would be a powerful claim—if it were true.
Green, a member of Bush's Presidential Advisory Council on HIV and AIDS, does indeed advocate abstinence and single-partner relationships as effective in combating AIDS. But he doesn't blow off condoms. "It is reasonably well-established that consistent condom use protects against HIV transmission," he wrote in his 2002 paper, "The Impact of Religious Organizations in Promoting HIV/AIDS Prevention." He flatly concludes that "condom use should be promoted."
So the science says condoms are good. Perhaps, then, it's Warren's pretense—that he's a man without a partisan impulse—that is a Trojan horse. Of a different color. And it's ribbed.

Now my heart is payin' for, The things you did with shame.

My two passions have always been words and music, and I'm convinced that they, along with family and friends of course, are two of the main reasons that I love life.
Words were my profession, for I was an English professor for more than 30 years, and now, after my retirement, I've been writing for the Battle Creek Enquirer for 15 years.
My boss in those early days had me do little local stories at first, but then he soon let me do articles - sometimes two and even three per week - about all sorts of people and subjects. ...

The Hubbards claim to have lost their 6 year old daughter Catherine in the "Sandy Hook Massacre". Just a few weeks later they are on CNN with Anderson Cooper being interviewed. Once again we have another family that doesn't look like they are grieving at all. They appear quite happy in fact. They go on about how they weren't going to let what happened stop them from celebrating Christmas. I'm sorry. I have a friend who lost her mom around the holidays 30 years ago and Christmas is still a hard holiday for her to celebrate. These people's kid was shot at least 3 times by a madman. There is no way you would be happy for a long time to come. The human body hurts when something like this happens. And it shows that hurt. You also would be very angry at the gunman. Why would you be talking about you can't live with hate? Anyway check out the interview and tell me if this is how you would react if your child was murdered.

Canucks blueline getting healthy … Sens ower Melnyk to meet with GM … Cole a priority for 'Canes
- Matthew Sekers of the Globe and Mail: Canucks defenseman Alexander Edler will return to the line for the last regular season game on Saturday. He had back surgery and has been out of the lineup since Jan. 26th. The Canucks will also only have 17 skates, 1 forward short, as they are close to the cap. Dan Hamhuis skated with teammates yesterday and hopes to play on Saturday as well, he's been out with a concussion. Andrew Alberts won't be ready until next week as his wrist is still bothering him.
- Jason Botchford of the Vancouver Province: Dan Hamhuis is looking to play Saturday and he wasn't considering retirement, "I had a bit of a scare, but thankfully the symptoms cleared up very quickly," Hamhuis said. "It was diagnosed as a very mild concussion. It was very positive. "I was happy the way things cleared up very quickly. I have really been symptom-free since the first day."
- James Gordon of the Ottawa Citizen: Senators owner Eugene Melnyk will meet with GM Bryan Murray today. They might talk about a contract extension, but did say that Cory Clouston's future as head coach would be in the hands of the next GM. Melnyk on Murray, "look, we get along, so it's only a question of seeing whether we think he's the right man for the position over the next several years and whether we can come together, and walk down the aisle together." On Clouston he added, "That would really be involving the next GM, whoever that may be, that's a hockey ops decision and I'm going to keep it that way."
- Michael Russo of the Star-Tribune: Wild winger Andrew Brunette will be 38 next August, and is a UFA after this season, one of six for the Wild. He hasn't had any contract talks, and realizes his time with the Wild could be over. "There will be a decision somewhere down the line if it's back here or somewhere else or who knows, right?" Brunette said. "It's played on my mind, I'm not going to lie to you, the last little bit. I'm trying not to really dig deep into that."
- Brian Wilde of CTV Montreal: Wilde thinks Canadiens GM Pierre Gauthier would lock Carey Price and PK Subban up long term, 7 years at least. The team has some good players in place with Cammalleri, Gionta, Eller, Pouliot, and Plekanec. The Canadiens have some holes to fill, especially on the blueline. They need a 'big horse' that can clear bodies and play with some anger. They also need to bring in a true big number 1 centerman.
- Chip Alexander of the Raleigh News & Observer: Hurricanes winger Erik Cole (25 goals so far) will be a UFA after the season. GM Jim Rutherford said the sides will talk contract extension after the season and added "has a very good future here and it will be one of our priorities."

He replaces Jay Graft, who stepped down following the 2012 season after compiling a 33-36 record in two stints at the helm. Matua will no doubt see many challenges in restoring Snow Canyon's program to a highly competitive state and snap its disappointing ...

Would you have the balls to trust this animal?
Full CNN link) -- Niko Mushi hated rats, as did most people in his village near Tanzania's Mt. Kilimanjaro -- until he learned the critters had a nose for land mines.
Before he started working with rats, Mushi had a comfortable job teaching the Kiswahili language at a Lutheran seminary. He was terrified when he first took one of his long-tailed protégés into a Mozambican minefield.
He'd heard stories of accidents involving the mines, mostly leftovers from Mozambique's civil war, which ended in 1992. He was not emboldened by the skeletons of soldiers and others who'd taken unfortunate steps before him.
But his rat found 16 land mines that day.
It's difficult to quantify the scourge of land mines in Africa. Experts are reluctant to give statistics, but it's safe to say there are single countries hosting millions of them.
The International Campaign to Ban Landmines says land mines and related devices were responsible for 73,576 casualties worldwide from 1999 to 2009. Campaign data from 2007 say there were 5,426 recorded casualties, with almost a fifth of them in 24 African countries.
Death and injury, however, are only two ramifications of the buried terrors, said land mine expert Havard Bach, formerly of the Geneva International Center for Humanitarian Demining.
Unexploded ordnance renders roads, highways and enormous swaths of land useless, Bach said. Fear lingers for years after a single accident, holding back growth, movement, development and opportunities for commerce and aid.
"One mine in an area is enough to prevent an entire population from making use of it," he said.
Upon study, the rats' advantages emerged.
Their olfactory senses are superb. They're native to Africa, so tropical disease is no problem, and they rarely weigh more than the 3 to 10 kilograms required to trip a mine, Bach said. It also helps that the mine-sniffing rats are not bonded to individual trainers or prone to ennui, as dogs are, he said.
"If you compare them to canine mine detectors, it's pretty much the same in terms of sensitivity and capability," Bach said, noting that dogs are better equipped to work in brush or high grass that might conceal a rat.
Training begins with socialization when the rats are 4 weeks old because "it's really important they learn man are friends," Weetjens said.
A system of Pavlovian conditioning follows. Trainers teach the rodents to associate a clicking noise with something tasty: a banana or peanuts. The same treats are used to teach them how to signal when they find a mine and how to detect the scent of TNT in tea balls.
The final phase before they're shipped to Mozambique for accreditation includes several trial runs in APOPO's training minefields, some of which contain tea balls, others live mines.

House passes bill on openly carrying firearms
A bill that would remove law enforcement's ability to cite a person for disorderly conduct while openly carrying a holstered handgun or encased rifle passed through the house easily Thursday morning and now goes to the Senate.
Rep. Paul Ray, R-Clearfield, argued HB268 wasn't a gun bill but was instead a way for a person to exercise Second Amendment rights without worries police would simply charge them for walking around with a gun.
"It's not this big gun bill that radically changes everything," Ray said.
But Ray also argued it gave law enforcement "teeth" to cite some who have openly carried semi-automatic assault rifles not in a case and openly visible while slung over a shoulder in a store.
"If you decide to make a political statement and strap an AR-15 [rifle] on your back and go shopping, there is a very good likelihood you'll be cited for disorderly conduct," Ray said. He said recent images of people at committee hearings on Utah's Capitol Hill with gun rights advocates propping rifles against chairs near children angered him and said his bill wouldn't protect people acting that way from facing disorderly conduct charges.
"I saw the picture he had it sitting next to a child which just irritates me," Ray said.
The measure passed 54-12 largely along party lines.
Rep. Derek Brown, R-Cottonwood Heights, had voted against the original bill while it was in committee but amended it on the floor to include language that brought back the term "reasonable person" who may be worried about seeing guns carried out in the open.
Brown said the term allows for some flexibility to still stop a person bearing firearms and ask questions.
"No one is 100 percent in love with the bill after this amendment," Brown said. "When everyone walks away from the result and everyone is just a little bit less than happy I think we probably have a good agreement particularly on an issue where we have to thread the needle."
Ray said it took six hours of "intense" negotiations.
"I thought there was no way this was going to happen. There is no way this is coming together," Ray said. "We did a lot of shouting at each other lots of yelling and storming in and out of the meeting and finally some language."
The bill, which actually got its start in the last legislative session, remains clear that law enforcement are not allowed to bring disorderly conduct charges against someone merely for carrying a firearm openly. Additional behavior must be exhibited for police to arrest on that charge.
Rep. Brian King, D-Salt Lake City, said Ray's bill was an attempt to use legislation to socially condition people to not feel uncomfortable with guns being carried out in the open.
"It seems to me what we're doing is moving in the direction of trying to by legislative act to increase the comfort level of citizens in the state of Utah with openly carrying although holstered, nevertheless openly carrying visible firearms," King said. "I think that's folly."
But House Majority Leader Brad Dee disagreed.
"The opportunity to bear and keep arms is that social engineering?" Dee asked. "It's in our Constitution."

|A novel thrombelastograph tissue factor/kaolin assay of activated clotting times for monitoring heparin anticoagulation during cardiopulmonary bypass.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 15502019 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|We used a thrombelastograph (TEG) assay with tissue factor and kaolin (TEG TF/K) to measure activated clotting time (ACT) in 31 patients during cardiopulmonary bypass. For comparison, ACTs were also determined by a Hemochron Jr. Signature and a Hepcon HMS. The TEG TF/K correlated with both the Hepcon (r(2) = 0.789) and Hemochron (r(2) = 0.743) ACTs. The average ACT after heparin was 319 +/- 119 s (mean +/- sd) for the TEG TF/K compared with 624 +/- 118 s for the Hepcon instrument. To evaluate the effects of hemodilution on TEG TF/K and Hemochron assays, ACT assays were performed on blood diluted to 50% and titrated with heparin from 0 to 6 U/mL. Both instruments showed significant (P < 0.01) changes in the ACT-versus-heparin slope, but the 0 heparin intercept for the TEG TF/K ACTs was not significantly changed (P = 0.292), in contrast to that for the Hemochron device (P = 0.041). Both instruments also indicated the same 1.3:1 ratio of protamine to heparin for optimum heparin neutralization, with increasing ACTs at ratios >2.6:1. The TEG TF/K ACT assay rapidly monitors heparin anticoagulation, in addition to the capabilities of this instrument to monitor platelet function, clotting factors, and fibrinolysis.

Note that these are not group-buy apps or services, so no purchase is necessary. It's as simple as finding a "Get this KFC set meal for just 30 RMB" coupon within the app on your iPhone, showing it at the counter, and enjoying an instant cash saving. Here's the list, in no particular order:
1. BuDing Coupons
[iTunes App Store link] Launched just yesterday, and useable across mainland China, the BuDing Coupons app comes from a well-known source of local eateries listings. BuDing has been using Sina Weibo well – now up to 12,800 fans – to market its free apps for iPhone and Android.
This newest one focuses solely on coupon-clipping, giving you instant discounts by just showing the app, at places such as McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut, and the Chinese restaurant chain YongHe, all across the mainland. If used with the company's separate listings app, you'll be able to hunt down your nearest fast-food branch as well.
2. iCoupon
[iTunes App Store link] The Korea-wide iCoupon offers maps and daily downloads of updated coupons, direct to your iPhone. Covering not only your preferred chain of greasy processed meat, but also coupons for beauty salons, hotels and coffee shops.
3. Mcdonald's Japan
[iTunes App Store link] Japan has long since made its coupon-clipping more hi-tech, with many fast-food stores putting QR codes on their storefront window to allow customers to get a discount via their phone as soon as they walk in. Perhaps that explains why there's aren't so many coupon-clipping apps in the Japanese app store.
This one from McDonalds Japan stands out, giving not only coupons but also a store-locator map, and the full details – like opening and closing times – of all stores.
4. Coupons Follow You
[iTunes App Store link] Effective only in Hong Kong, Coupons Follow You gives daily updates online for lots of locations across the hip-and-happening city of HK, such as steak houses and even fashion retail chains.
5. Coupons To Go
[iTunes App Store link] The small Shenzhen start-up behind YouHuiXing.com has gone for a different angle, and is trying to build up a location-based network for mainland China alongside its free coupons. So, when users make use of a coupon from within the app on their iPhone, it also creates a check-in at that restaurant, and also shows what you're eating (based on your redeemed coupon). Coupons are available for lots of popular Chinese joints, such as well-known coffee shops, bakeries and hot-pot chains, as well as international fast-food brands.

Steelers dominate on the court
Antonio Brown scored for the Pittsburgh Steelers again. This time, however, it was on the hardwood instead of the gridiron.
The Pittsburgh Steelers went to the Convocation Center at California University of Pennsylvania on May 2 to take on the CalU All-Stars. The Cal U squad was made up of players and faculty and was coached by Cal's Interim President Geraldine M. Jones, while her husband Jeff coached the Steelers.
The Pro Bowl receiver Brown was joined by Robert Golden, Ross Ventrone, Chris Carter, Mortty Ivy, Kelvin Beachum and Alameda Ta'amu for the Steelers. The proceeds from the game went to the Jeanie Carter Scholarship Fund.
"It was a great opportunity to support the scholarship program and help others have a great college career," CalU senior Gloria Stone said. "Also, as a Steelers fan, it's always great to see your team helping out the community in some sort of way."
Golden threw down a couple of dunks, but it was Brown who stole the show. He shot early and often, earning the nickname "Downtown Antonio Brown" from the announcers. The lefty shot three after three, but his poor shooting percentage didn't take away from the show.
"I enjoyed the game all around," Stone said. "It was an entertaining event from the game, to the players, and even the coaching staff."
The Steelers topped the CalU All-Stars, 86-59. The whole team signed autographs at halftime, even Brown's son, Antonio Brown Jr.
The fans got to interact with the players while raising money for a good cause in the process. Although the scoreboard was one-sided, it was a win-win for everyone.
"I had never been to a Steelers basketball game before, but after this one I would go to any basketball game because it was entertaining and for a good cause," Stone said.

In the spirit of Halloween, one of my favorite holidays because I LOVE dressing up, today's post is about my latest craft project. I wanted to do something fun for bridal party photos in October and after the mustaches/unibrows were such a hit in Mexico, I decided to make my own. Sometimes a girl just needs an excuse to get to Michael's, I could spend hours there! I picked up some craft sticks, glue dots, fabric scissors and some fun felt.
I was able to find the best template here. I love the different color inspiration!They are the perfect size, of course I had to try it on ;)Yolanda's bridesmaid's wore them best and they coined the phrase "mustache face".
One thing I learned is that you need a glue gun SO now that I own one, I must figure out my next craft project. Bow ties on a stick or fun hats perhaps?

4 hurt in 3 separate shootings this weekend on St. Thomas
Published: August 19, 2014
Font size: [A] [A] [A]
ST. THOMAS - Police on St. Thomas are investigating three separate non-fatal shootings involving four victims that took place during the weekend.
On Saturday, two men, ages 26 and 37, were hanging out on a porch about 8:30 a.m. in Sugar Estate when a man wearing dark clothing with a bandana over his face began firing shots at them, the victims told police.
As they ran into the house, one victim was shot in his left foot and the other victim was shot in his right leg, they said.
On the same day, about 3:30 p.m., police were notified of another gunshot victim, 27, who told them he was driving on Bovoni Road when someone in another vehicle suddenly began firing at him. The victim drove into the Bovoni housing community to get help, he told police. The vehicle did not pursue him into the community, and the victim was grazed in his left shoulder and right arm, police said.
The victim said he was unable to give a description of the vehicle or the shooter.
Police also spoke with another shooting victim, who said he was shot near the Anna's Retreat basketball court on Friday.
The 32-year-old victim told police that he was in the area just before 4 p.m. and heard gunshots and saw a vehicle passing by. The victim was grazed in his stomach and taken to Schneider Hospital in a private vehicle.
The victim could not provide police any description of the vehicle or occupants.
All victims were treated for their injuries at Schneider Hospital.

|Examining opportunities for promotion of healthy eating at children's sports clubs.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21134059 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|OBJECTIVE: Australian data indicate that 63% of children participated in sport in 2009, a 4% increase since 2000. Children's high participation in sport, and the association between sport and health, means that these settings provide an opportunity to promote other aspects of health, such as healthy eating, to children. This study aimed to determine healthy eating practices and policies at children's sports clubs.
METHODS: Sports clubs (n=108) for the nine most popular sports for children aged 5 to 14 were randomly sampled from three large geographical areas across one state and one territory in Australia. A purpose-designed telephone questionnaire for sports club officials was developed to determine the food and beverages sold, provided and promoted at sports clubs and the availability of healthy-eating policies.
RESULTS: The most frequently sold item at canteens was water, followed by sports drinks, chocolate/confectionery and soft drink. Only 20% of canteens promoted healthy food. Thirty-nine per cent of clubs made recommendations on the food and beverages to be consumed during sport, mostly relating to water consumption. The majority (76%) engaged in fundraising; many in collaboration with chocolate/confectionery companies. Only three clubs had a written policy on healthy eating.
CONCLUSION: Addressing the low uptake of healthy eating policies would be a useful strategy to improve the healthiness of sports clubs.
IMPLICATIONS: Policies could seek to reduce the availability and promotion of unhealthy food and beverages through canteens, vending machines and fundraising.

Irvine is a city of innovation, and today that spirit is embodied in the Orange County Great Park, where the City of Irvine is creating the first great metropolitan park of the 21st century.
In the 1940s, the establishment of two U.S. Marines bases began the transformation of what had been vast farms and ranches for hundreds of years. In the '60s and '70s, the University of California, Irvine, continued that transformation as the seed of what has become a thriving city of international cultures, family-friendly neighborhoods and one of the richest concentrations of the business headquarters in the country.
Now, at the dawn of the 21st century, that innovation comes full circle as those Marine bases are, themselves, transformed into the Orange County Great Park, a place where people (and their pets!) can come together to play, learn, be entertained, exercise, experience nature or simply relax, and all with every attention to sustainability, innovative energy and recycling and building materials sourced from the bases as they're broken down and remade into something entirely new.
Today, Orange County Great Park offers what is fast becoming the Irvine's iconic image: the 72-foot-diameter orange sphere of the Great Park Balloon, rising up like a second sun or, by night, an eternal harvest moon. Tethered rides in the platform of the giant helium balloon are offered Thursday through Sunday, mornings through early afternoon and again at night, giving adults and kids a bird's-eye view of Irvine and Orange County from 400 feet above the ground.
On Sundays, visitors and residents flock to the Great Park Farmer's Market, featuring not only naturally grown produce, herbs and ornamental plants, but also hand-made crafts. The Farm Lab opens its gates, inviting kids to come learn about where food comes from and how it grows. Sundays at the Great Park also feature some of the best examples of the mobile restaurant movement anywhere, with local food trucks offering gourmet tapas, Crêpes and more.
In August and September, the Great Park offers free concerts and dances, movies on the lawn, outdoor comedy shows and stargazing. Weekends throughout the year, master gardeners from the University of California system offer gardening classes. And any day of the year, little ones can crawl around lifelike rocks and a cave at the Kid's Rock Tot Lot (a microcosm of the future park, by the way) learning about fossils and animal tracks as they go.
Bigger than Chicago's Lincoln Park, bigger than Balboa Park in San Diego or Golden Gate Park in San Francisco -- in fact, the size of New York's Central Park and Prospect Park combined -- Orange County Great Park will ultimately include:

Robert Morrison, an East Rochester resident, has created a variety of smartphone and tablet accessories.
- Filed Under
The growth in the tablet market has been explosive. Apple sold 100 million iPads in the first two years after product launch, and projections are that they'll sell another 80 million this year. Android tablets, like Google's Nexus 7 and Amazon's Kindle Fire, are even hotter and likely to surpass the iPad in market share by year's end.
That created an opportunity for entrepreneurs like Robert Morrison, who has a thriving business selling accessories to tablet users. His latest offering is the KlickStylus, a combination pen and stylus that is launching through Kickstarter.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Freedom From Hunger, Davis, CA, USA
During my time on the Board I visited our program in Kenya, where women were using our small donations to start up self-sustaining businesses for themselves. I also, promoted Freedom From Hunger by speaking about the organization to various groups in Arizona, and presented a slide show about our work in the world. I solicited donations in Arizona from contributors who came to believe in our orgaization's motto, " Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day, but teach a man to fish, and he eats for a lifetime". Freedom From Hunger has the multiplier effect in that we supervise the new enterprises & make sure that they succeed the first year, and after that success follows success from one generation to another. Others who see good outcomes are encouraged to try new enterprises & it goes on and on in that community. It is very exciting to see this happen, and it is impossible to measure the extent of this self impowerment after it begins to take hold. Without question, the long range effect is in building confidence in the people that they will be able to sustain themselves.
More Feedback
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
I like this organization because our programs result in permanent empowerment of people to find ways to sustain themselves.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
truly dedicated and sincere in their approach to helping foster confidence and results in our recipients.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
truly change the future for millions of poor people. Our programs lead to independence from want, and put the recipients on the path to being able to better sustain themselves and their families.
Ways to make it better...
If I had been more successful at raising money for the group, they could have expanded their programs in other communities around the world, that would benefit from our programs.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
Funding is an ever-present unmet need. There are millions of people in third-world countries who would benefit from our programs.
One thing I'd also say is that...
I have been on many boards and in a number of national organizations and never have I been involved with people who are more sincerely interested in the welfare of strangers in far away lands than the leadership and staff of Freedom From Hunger.
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
About once a year
