Your website governance is happening whether or not you know it -- perhaps not always with organizational focus and intent. Here's a not-so-scary, not-so-dull framework to help you think about (then manage) your website and all its many parts. Hint: it happens on the frontlines where the work is happening, not in the back rooms.
I created the Wikipedia article for website governance in February 2010 to provide a definition for a concept I'd been working on for many years. By that time I had worked for several years as a Web manager for the Johns Hopkins University Center for Communication Programs. And at the time I created the Wikipedia article I was beginning my second year in the MIM Program at the iSchool, University of Maryland (College Park), focusing my research in website governance and content management issues.
My work in website management over the years and my research into website governance issues led me to three conclusions:
- There are many definitions for website governance.
- There are many different types of models for website governance based on the many different definitions in #1.
- The models proffered in #2 (based on #1) seemed to me to be inadequate because of piece-of-the-puzzle thinking.
What was missing from the discussion surrounding website governance was a ground-up approach that considered all of a website's functional areas (how work gets done) and how those different functional areas should align with enterprise strategy within a 21st century information environment. My hunch was that there could be an all-inclusive approach to website governance that considered all the pieces of the puzzle, set them out on the table, and put them together to form an integrated whole, supported by basic principles of organization, information and knowledge management.
With this in mind I did further research into how website professionals manage their enterprise Web presence. My goal was to develop a new model for website governance that Web professionals could easily use for any size or type of enterprise, for any size or type of website.
Let's first take a look at how we got here.
Well, How Did We Get Here?
From the Web's early days, people have been struggling with how best to manage an organization's website. During the early days of the Web, anything went. "[I]nformation was considered meaningful simply because it was posted on the Internet." Many organizations, developing their websites with the philosophy of "let a thousand flowers bloom," saw their websites grow into hundreds or even thousands of pages, with several or perhaps dozens of content contributors.
In 2001, Guenther noted that Web development strategies could be based on "who yells the loudest." This would be funny except that things were getting out of control. During site redesigns, many organizations might discover that they did not even know all of the information assets on their websites. Or, "everyone" was involved in its maintenance, but no one had responsibility -- the dreaded all-but-nothing scenario.
In May 2005, the Web Governance Task Group of the Federal Web Managers Council posted one of the first definitions of "web governance": "Web Governance is the structure of people, positions, authorities, roles, responsibilities, relationships, and rules involved in managing an agency's website(s)."
Over the next 5 years various authors proposed website governance definitions, trying to bring order to environments that I'm sure at times could feel quite chaotic. Some focused on content governance through the entire lifecycle; major areas, such as people, process, and standards, or roles, responsibilities, relationships, rules, and review; governance structures or steering committees; and type of governance structure (centralized, decentralized, or federated). Along with these definitions, some authors proposed models for website governance.
We'll explore these in detail later, but for now we can say this order-into-chaos is done for good reason: The website reflects the organization. Welchman has recently even said that the "website is the digital representation of the organization." The downside of this truism, of course, is that a bad website reflects poorly on the organization that developed it. Diffly notes that websites with poor governance display "wide disparities in design," "lack of focus in content," and use of bleeding-edge technologies. "In the absence of governance," writes Harrison, "you risk misunderstandings, inefficiency, and even chaos."
Why Have Governance At All?
Well, you don't have a choice, really. Governance is there, always; the question is: How do you want to it to be?
Start with Purpose.
Purposes of websites vary widely -- education, research, commerce, entertainment, news and information -- but website governance issues are persistent, and some are consistent, across any type and any size of websites. This is because websites are composed of functional areas, and functions are purpose-neutral. For example, graphic design, as a pure functional area, will be used on a website, regardless of that website's purpose. The same can be said for the functions of content, information architecture, systems administration, strategy and so on. Some areas of website governance are like breathing: You're doing it whether you realize it or not. In other words, for good or for bad, your website governance is showing.

Nasser Al-Attiyah and Giovanni Bernacchini produced their best performance in the WRC with sixth place in Mexico - and want to do still better in Portugal.
Success...gimme a break.
waste of an brilliant carbrings tears to my eyes
He is a lot better then Matthew Wilson. So why all this negative remarks.Don't comments because of his name but please base on his talent.
Like matt wilson,henning solberg,block etc etc, he is only in wrc because of his money and also to make up the numbers of this mickey mouse championship
Sure, Al Attiyah is a great RallyRaid-driver with a Dakar-win under his belt. In addition to that, he drove pretty well last year in the SWRC. He may never be able to fight for a podium,when pure speed is needed,but he may were well get a top-five finish a little now and then.In rallying and in his case(along with others), money talks, enough said!
It wont be much of a "World Championship" with only the Factory Drivers present same as F1 would not succeed with only the top 3 or 4 teams participating. Pay drivers if they can put a programme together have every right to drive in WRC, it will be difficult for them to reach podium or even top 5 but surely they know that ! It also allows the less experience competitors and rising talent to gain valuable experience and mileage Tanak, Breen, Sandell, Anderson etcIt also makes commercial sense for their teams and sponsors to be on the world stage, otherwise they would not get the support to put a team together and race.....its more than ever a PR and Marketing exercise after all. There is still lots of money out there following Motorsport, good luck to these guys if they can benefit from it.

Chemosterilization of male sea lampreys, (Petromyzon marinus), does not affect sex pheromone release

AbstractRelease of males sterilized by injection with bisazir is an important experimental technique in management of sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus), an invasive, nuisance species in the Laurentian Great Lakes. Sea lampreys are semelparous and sterilization can theoretically eliminate a male's reproductive capacity and, if the ability to obtain mates is not affected, waste the sex products of females spawning with him. It has been demonstrated that spermiating males release a sex pheromone that attracts ovulating females. We demonstrated that sterilized, spermiating males also released the pheromone and attracted ovulating females. In a two-choice maze, ovulating females increased searching behavior and spent more time in the side of the maze containing chemical stimuli from sterilized, spermiating males. This attraction response was also observed in spawning stream experiments. Also, electro-olfactograms showed that female olfactory organs were equally sensitive to chemical stimuli from sterilized and nonsterilized, spermiating males. Finally, fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry showed that extracts from water conditioned with sterilized and nonsterilized, spermiating males contained the same pheromonal molecule at similar levels. We concluded that injection of bisazir did not affect the efficacy of sex pheromone in sterilized males.

I loved the color in the pan, but it doesn't translate like that in my cheecks, you can barely see a touch of coral color and a lot of shimmer, next time I'll get a matte one to see if the payoff is better. I do like it, I'm wearing it right now at the office and is working good. The glitter is very finely milled, and is likely to transfer all over your clothes. This blush reminds me of a more subtle Pearlescent Pink from wet and wild, that's one of my favorite blushes of all times. I prefer the W&W over the MK one.
Age: 36-43

I bought this after reading the reviews on here. I had just ran out of my Nars . I love it!
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
The dead ringer for Nars Orgasm! It leaves a nice peachy sheen and glow...like after an exercise...There`s a lot of shimmer so I only wear this when I go dancing at nite def not for office. The texture glides on smooth...But I had to build up color for it to show ...It brightens my skin tone but somehow the pores on the apples of my cheeks look huge (and shiny) this is mineral makeup after all & if ur allergic u may wanna skip this...It lasts thru 6 hours but had to blot cos it looked oily ..Not to crazy abt the flimsy plastic packaging.. no mirror/brush...not for travels as may slip out.If ur on a budget and want a Nars O dupe this is ok i guess ..
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Brown, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Hazel
Very pretty,subtle shimmery blush, indeed similar to Nars Orgasm, even though I find it a bit lighter. Nothing glamourous maybe, but it makes a nice glowy, pretty look.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Olive, Cool
Hair: Blond, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
Loooove this blush!! It's very similar to Nars.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Sensitive, Fair, Cool
Hair: Silver, Wavy, Coarse
Eyes: Black
I got a sample of this and, yep, it's a dead-on dupe for Orgasm on my fair complexion. I actually used the MK Shy Blush on one cheek and Orgasm on the other, and neither I nor my husband could find any discernible difference between them. Gorgeous color and lasts...I've had it on for well over 8 hours now and no fading whatsoever (wearing it over a sample of MK Timewise Luminous foundation). I think I'm now sold on the new "mineralized" MK line and will be saving myself a boatload of bucks between paying high-end Nars Orgasm prices and instead purchasing the MK versions (Shy Blush and Fancy Nancy gloss). I'm so sold on the these 2 products, I might even purchase the large compact and stock it up for not much more than I pay for 2 Nars products. Hope MK doesn't plan on discontinuing this blush or the FN lipgloss any time soon (but I intend to stock up "just in case").
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
I use it everyday. I ordered the compact and filled it with three eyeshadows (copper glow, honey spice, and hazelnut), red lipstick, shy blush and the mineral face powder foundation in Beige 1.
I've had it since November of 2010 and it's now June (going into July) of 2011. And I've barely made a dent. For the price you pay, it's worth it. This blush is a really pretty color and great for every day use. I will definitely repurchase.
P.S. I know it seems like it's expensive, but I recommend buying the compact. I've never been much of a makeup/mirror sort of gal, but it sure does make it convenient to pop your makeup in your purse and go...
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Hazel
I really enjoy this blush. I've never been much of a blush-wearing girl, because I have naturally red cheeks (thank you, Dad) and I feel like adding any more color to my already-colored cheeks just makes them look funny. But, I have a co-worker that also sells Mary Kay, so she brought me in a bunch of samples of all different products and I tried this and I really loved it! It's a pinkish-goldish color and I love how shimmery it is. It's a pretty color overall, and it makes my somewhat dull skin look a little prettier. I've also used it as a quick eyeshadow to brighten up my eyes. I would buy it again.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Brown
Beautiful color! The blush gives my cheeks a hint of color...very natural and a tint of shimmer. Because my skin is on the oily side- the blush comes off very quickly.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Warm
Hair: Red, Wavy, Other
Eyes: Green
I really really adore this blush, the color is absolutely amazing, and seems like it would be flattering on many of different skintones. Its perfect for everyday, and has just the right amount of shimmer. Deffinatly one of my favorite blushes.

Is Rayleigh going to be Britain's no. 1 town for archery?
If you look at the rankings here the phrase "Rayleigh Town Archery Club" turns up a lot…..
For example, 4 archers in the top 50 Junior Girls Recurve rankings are with Rayleigh:
More on the Rayleigh Town Archery Club Website here.
Archery GB published the Junior Target Rankings in November 2013 and we can say with pride that Rayleigh Town archers dominate the list!
Lauren, Josie, Helena, Tall, Caitlin and Alison represent in the U18, U16 and U14 categories for Girls' Recurve while Lenni flies the flag in U18 Compound.
Elliott, Luke, Charlie, Jason, Jordan, Charlie, James and George carve up the U16 and U14 categories for Boys' Recurve. Reese and Alex both figure in the U12 Compound.
That we have so many Junior members performing so well among many hundreds of young archers across the country is testament primarily to their enthusiasm and commitment to the sport, but also to their parents' selfless support, and the club coaches for their encouragement and dedication.
Congratulations to all the archers for their performance and achievements in 2013!

The club are based in Runwell nowadays so perhaps not accurate to attribute their success to Rayleigh↓
Bit similar to the old Rayleigh Wyverns R.F.C who were given little encouragement in the District who now play at Runwell as Runwell Wyverns .Anyone want a game of Rugby introduce yourself there on a Saturday sure you will be welcome .↓
They used to be at Deans School Thundersley and they have now moved to a school in Hadleigh but still call themselves Rayleigh town archery club!
If you wish to take up archery please contact me as I am an archery coach and will be able to help to teach you the art or archery.↓

Homeomorphisms of leaving a Heegaard surface invariant
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: We find a finite set of generators for the group of isotopy classes of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of the 3-sphere which leave a Heegaard surface T of genus g in invariant. We also show that every element of the group can be represented by a deformation of the surface T in of a very special type: during the deformation the surface T is the boundary of the regular neighborhood of a graph embedded in a fixed 2-sphere. The only exception occurs when a subset of the graph contained in a disc on the 2-sphere is ``flipped over."

The Butterfly XS gives "concentrated performance" according to Packard Bell. An economical ultra-portable, the XS rubs shoulders with high-end netbooks. A little larger, it includes a DVD burner and a dual-core processor!
Handling, design and build: matte plastics and good ease of use
Good news for those who like things to look clean, the Butterfly XS plastics are all matte, with the exception of the screen hood. We would nevertheless have liked a nicer, not so low-end a feel. Still, this machine seems robust, with the exception of the screen hinges which don't particularly inspire confidence. The plastic looks solid but there is some play and it could be better adjusted. The screen hood is covered in nice glossy red, which, again of course, gets grubby marvelously quickly.
The keyboard is nice and wide and takes up almost all the available space. The keys are also wide and flat (17 x 17 mm). This makes keying all the more comfortable and quiet. The only drawback is the reduced size of the "Ctrl" and "Alt" keys.
The touchpad is covered in a matte surface and the same plastic is used as on the chassis, which it sits into very well and you can only differentiate from this chassis by the strengthening and the absence of the raised dots that are on the rest of the wrist rest area. Fairly wide (75 x 40 mm), it corresponds nicely to the screen format and the glide is fluid and precise.
The left and right clicks are made of chrome and are separated.
The webcam is fine but suffers from a poorly set white balance (this is down to the automatic default image setting). The image tends towards yellow and there's an over-exposure of light areas. For the rest, contrast is good and the image fluid.
The Butterfly XS is quiet when processing office documents. During heavier work, the fan accelerates and becomes audible, without however becoming too annoying. It's a shame that the hard drive grates when you're loading applications and copies of files.
Connectivity is standard with 3 USB 2.0 ports, an HDMI, a VGA, an RJ45, a memory card reader, a headphones and a mic socket. Wi-fi is also included. The strong point on this model is its DVD burner. It's well built in and doesn't compromise the slim line of the machine. The button for opening the DVD drive is nicely placed on the chassis and not on the drive opening itself which means you won't open and close it by mistake.
Under the PC, 3 panels give acces to the RAM and hard drive, as well as the wireless card.
|Packard Bell EasyNote Butterfly XS from above
|Memory card reader, DVD burner, USB 2.0, RJ45
|VGA, HDMI, 2 USB 2.0s, mic, headphones, antitheft
|Touchpad and clicks
Processing: good for internet and office document usage
Windows 7 index: 3.2. Details: CPU 4.0 - Memory 4.9 - Graphics 3.2 - Gaming graphics 3.2 - Main hard drive 5.9.
With its dual-core low energy CPU, the Packard Bell EasyNote Butterfly XS is at ease with internet and office document work. The Intel Pentium Dual Core ULV SU4100 also allows you to carry out photo and video tasks, as long as you remain patient during the heaviest processing (video encoding and editing, photo work). Such tasks take on average twice as long as on our reference machine (100 on the index), the Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Xi3650 (equipped with an Intel Core 2 Duo T9400). This model scores 45 on our index, which is more than twice what you get on the average netbook.
In spite of the absence of a dedicated graphics card, the Butterfly XS can decode HD 1080p video (Blu-Ray equivalent). This task can be handled by the processor, although it is preferable to use the integrated Intel chipset's hardware acceleration. This is supported by certain video playback software such as PowerDVD or Media Player Classic HC and allows you to free up the processor.
3D gaming: old 3D titles or 2D games
The built-in graphics solution is largely insufficient for recent 3D titles. You'll have to make do with 2D games or old school 3D with limited graphics settings.
Audio: ok but still preferable with headphones
Placed at the front, the 2 small speakers give a sound with no bass, which was always going to be the case in view of the fact that this is an ultra-portable laptop. Although the sound lacks depth, it isn't too harsh and you may be able to make do with it when your headphones aren't to hand. The headphones out is very clean (no hiss). Of course, you should use it to get best results.
Mobility, battery life: on a par with good netbooks
With a small 6-cell 4400 mAh battery, the Butterfly XS gives 4h26 film playback (brightness at 100 Cd/m², Wi-Fi disactivated and headphones plugged in). A pretty good result that places it just slightly down on good netbooks, although all the latest models now give upwards of 6 hours. Check before purchase as certain models look as if they'll be receiving an upgrade to a 5600 mAh battery, which should improve battery life.
From the point of view of mobility, the Butterfly XS remains compact in spite of the DVD rewriter. At 1.5 kg, it compares reasonably with the average weight of netbooks. In contrast, the charger takes up space and will be a bit large for small bags.

Beautiful You Are
Beautiful you are,
Amazing you'd be.
If only, if only you'd see what I see.
Take a look from within,
Let your true colors shine.
You'd see that being you is no sin.
Maybe then you'd be fine.
It doesn't matter what they say.
Nor what they want.
I know the real you at the end of the day;
Their opinions will only haunt.
They don't see who I see:
For I know who you be.
So never feel like you're on your own;
With me, your true identity is always shone.
Never let them make you unwilling to be you,

I think the lightning branching out at the top before hitting the creature ruins the design, imo it would look better with a small bolt going down to its victim then, BOOM it hits and branching out from there.
I would definitely like it better with a side placement. Also, maybe the lightning coming down from the neck / shoulder area?
I think you've done a good job with the lightning illustration.

Comment Re:long methods and coupling (Score 1) 497
When I have run into long methods the solution usually is not a deep call stack, but instead that the method has chained together 20 10 line logical units. It would make the code more readable to have that be 20 sequential (not nested) calls to well named functions that accurately describe what they are doing. Often those logical units are different if/else blocks as well, so extracting them makes it easier to unit test all branches rather than trying to set up 200 different branch possibilities on one method.


text: Blood test spots Alzheimer's before symptoms hit Science 10 March 14 by Liat Clark Shutterstock A team of neurologists has developed a blood test that can identify with 90 percent accuracy whether someone is likely to experience symptoms of dementia in the preceding two to three years.The test, if proven to be reliable, could mean trials attempting to modify the disease before it takes hold could be carried out far earlier on groups at risk.As the team behind the study points out in a paper published in Nature Medicine, our lack of any cure to date "may be due to our inability to detect the disease before it has progressed to produce evident memory loss and functional decline". Currently the Alzheimer's tests in our repertoire do not give anywhere near the kind of speed and ease of diagnosis that a blood test potentially could. Genetic mutations, for instance, can be identified but are rare. It's why one ongoing trial involving a Colombian family of 5,000 with one of these hereditary mutations has been so surprising and important to the field. Otherwise, it's possible to identify amyloid beta plaques in the brain or a protein called tau, both signs of the disease, in brain scans. However these processes are costly and would only be carried out if a person were already deemed at risk or in the early stages.The Georgetown University Medical Centre team that carried out the blood test study looked for biomarkers among 525 individuals aged 70 and older across a five-year period, taking blood samples annually. As the study progressed, 74 of these subjects developed signs of mild Alzheimer's. Two to three years before those symptoms developed, the team was able to identify "unambiguously" a set of ten lipid metabolites in the blood plasma using mass spectrometry, which predicted with 90 percent accuracy whether dementia would occur."This biomarker panel, reflecting cell membrane integrity, may be sensitive to early neurodegeneration of preclinical Alzheimer's disease," the team hypothesised in the paper.Professor of neurochemistry at Kings College London Paul Francis, is cautiously optimistic at the news, calling the study a "good indication that the blood study is worth pursuing"."Anything which provides people that will develop dementia and their families with an earlier sign of what's going to happen, with a degree of certainty, is probably a good thing," Francis told Wired.co.uk. "There are ethical issues of course about telling people -- do people want to know? But the main reason is tell people is so they have the longest time to prepare. They can make their own decisions, because of course one of the things that happens soon after a clinical diagnosis is people can't make their own decisions. The empowerment to make your own decisions is a very strong decision for going for early diagnosis."In terms of treating the impending symptoms with those drugs we already know to be somewhat effective, such as donepezil, Francis says there is no evidence that providing them earlier would have any effect. It is the chances of modifying the disease with treatments beforehand, which could potentially benefit from an earlier diagnosis, he says. "This could be an important stepping stone for treatments that would actually hopefully put off the disease or halt it."One of the common markers for Alzheimer's are deposits of amyloid beta in the brain, and this has become an area of focus for treatment research. However it's thought that deposition begins 20 to 30 years prior to symptoms appearing. For this reason, Francis suggests "it's possibly too late" to help if we identify the disease two or three years prior. "The related clinical trials already undertaken with vaccines and enzyme inhibitors have all failed in their primary outcomes."Nevertheless, that is not to say early diagnosis will not have some benefit, he adds. "Until we've got the ability to predict with 90 percent accuracy who's going to develop dementia and who's not, then we won't be able to do that study." This is exactly what the blood test will help us achieve. It may simply help us realise that intervention must be far earlier, perhaps even decades, to achieve a cure."The point of doing this is to test the hypothesis, if we get in there before they have symptoms, what effect would it have?""The first thing we need to know is does this blood test prove true in a larger study -- then if we do a pilot study with these types of amyloid beta approaches, do they in fact show benefit. It's a steady step-by-step process."Another area of research that could benefit, he suggests, is in the targeting of the protein tau, common in Alzheimer's patients. Changes to the protein occur closer to the time the symptoms surface so could potentially pose a better target for anyone diagnosed as being at risk two to three years beforehand.

Following the tragic shooting at Ft. Hood Wednesday in Texas, KTTH host Ben Shapiro talked to Tea Party leader Congressman Louie Gohmert, whose district includes Ft. Hood.
Gohmert revealed that his office is working on legislation that would allow members of the military to carry concealed weapons on base – a Georg H.W. Bush-era Department of Defense regulation prevents concealed carry for personnel on base.
Ben Shapiro: The evil in Ft. Hood has had to touch you – do you have any remarks you'd like to make about the situation at Ft. Hood?
U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert: The first thought is sympathy, empathy, and prayers for the families that have lost loved ones and for those who have been injured. And then you want to try to make sure it doesn't happen again because it keeps happening.
We had [2009 Ft. Hood shooter] Nadal Hasan who because of political correctness nobody pushed to get removed, even though it's clear that he was a threat, he's a radical Islamist. And so he ends up going off and killing 13 of our great American fighters and nobody was able to have a gun to stop him before he was stopped. The very people trained to use firearms are our men and women in the military. It doesn't make sense those people could not go through a permit process and be able to have a concealed carry weapon. Those laws need to be changed.
Shapiro: Do you think there will be any legislation in Congress to deal with this?
Gohmert: These are the people trained with weapons and qualified on them even more than you have to be trained and qualified to have a concealed carry permit. [Congressman] Steve Stockman has a previous bill he filed that would do away with prohibiting [concealed carry on base] – we're working on that now, trying to get a bill ready to go that would allow military members to have the same right to apply for a concealed carry permit. As you know so well, Ben, these mass shootings normally occur where they're not allowed to carry a weapon.
Shapiro: There are reports that President Obama followed up his statement [on the Ft. Hood shooting] by going to a fundraiser – do you have a comment about that?
Gohmert: I think that's pretty tragic. We know Benghazi occurred while he was prepping for his trip to Las Vegas and he didn't let that disaster get in the way. I thought it was nice that while he was in Las Vegas, in his big speech, he paused for a moment to reflect on the people who got killed on his watch.
Shapiro: I want to switch topics; the CEO of Mozilla now has been forced to resign after it came out that he gave $1,000 to the pro-marriage amendment Prop 8 [in California]. Do you have any comment on what seems to be a persistence of leftist intolerance?
Gohmert: There is no tolerance among those that scream the loudest and the angriest about intolerance. They are the meanest, most intolerant people in America, those who complain about people who are just observing traditional marriage. It should be noted that President Obama would not have gone above the rank of Senator Obama if in the debate with Rev. Rick Warren he said that marriage was between two men. If he had said that, he would've been done and not elected president.
But because he changed from his previous expressed view, he got elected president and then once he was president he didn't evolve, he revolves back around to his original position. What has been the position on marriage since the dawn of man, since certainly the beginning of the bible, marriage has been between a man and a woman. And yet this president and the liberals not only do they want to break that apart, they want to destroy, absolutely destroy, anyone who disagrees with them.
It is just the world upside down with the way those who are the most intolerant go after and bash people who have the values of Traditional America.
