Washington — Some Americans were surprised that presumed Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney addressed the oldest U.S. civil rights organization's convention on July 11, since African-American support for Republican presidential nominees has dropped well below 10 percent over the past several decades.
Romney's remarks at the convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in Houston highlight the importance of African Americans to the 2012 contest, where they constitute a significant voting block in the crucial swing states of Virginia, North Carolina and Ohio, which have a combined total of 46 Electoral College votes. On July 12, Vice President Biden also addressed the convention, and President Obama spoke to participants through a recorded video message.
Based on recent history, Romney is unlikely to get many African-American votes on November 5. The Republican Party's 1996 nominee attracted only 14 percent support from black voters. With subsequent Democratic registration and outreach efforts, as well as an increasingly conservative Republican Party platform that has alienated many in the community, the party of President Abraham Lincoln that championed the end of African-American slavery now has limited appeal in many African-American communities.
In 1998, novelist Toni Morrison described President Bill Clinton as "our first black president," saying his background and lifestyle displayed "almost every trope of blackness." Barack Obama's 2008 nomination gave African Americans their first chance to elect a president with African roots, and 65 percent of eligible black voters showed up at the polls, producing the highest turnout of any minority group. Nationally, 16.1 million African Americans voted — 2 million more than in 2004 — and 95 percent of them chose Obama.
Most U.S. political observers believe African-American enthusiasm in the 2012 election will not equal that of 2008, now that the novelty of having an African-American president has worn off. Even though polls show that community members overwhelmingly support Obama, the key question on the minds of both Republican and Democratic strategists is whether a group that historically has low voter turnout will go to the polls, especially in swing states like North Carolina, where black participation was the key factor in Obama's extremely narrow win over Arizona Senator John McCain.
In the 2012 swing states, African-American voters make up 23 percent of the electorate in North Carolina, 20 percent in Virginia and 11 percent in Ohio. Like other Americans, they are chiefly concerned about the U.S. economy and jobs. The unemployment rate among African Americans in June was at 14.4 percent — more than 6 points higher than the national average.
Black voters also are deeply concerned over criminal justice issues. The U.S. research and advocacy group Children's Defense Fund reported in 2009 that a black boy born in 2001 has a 1 in 3 chance of going to prison in his lifetime, compared to a 1 in 6 chance for a Latino boy and a 1 in 17 chance for a white boy. African-American girls born in 2001 also were disproportionately more likely to go to prison than their peers.
African-American communities also are concerned about new voter identification (ID) laws in various states that require voters to present an official government-issued ID at their registered polling place to vote. Under U.S. law, states are responsible for how and where ballots are cast within their borders, and among those with voter ID requirements, the law varies. Proponents of the voter ID laws say they will reduce election fraud, but opponents counter that the laws unfairly target African Americans and other minority groups who are less likely to have IDs.
The controversy over IDs is particularly sensitive because of a long history of white efforts to disenfranchise black voters since the end of slavery and the Civil War. The 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution gave African-American men the right to vote in 1870, but opposition in former Confederate states effectively suppressed that right.
Southern state legislatures enacted measures designed to prevent or discourage blacks from voting, such as poll taxes, requiring proof of property ownership, and literacy tests. To help poor white voters overcome these restrictions, legislatures instituted what became known as the "grandfather clause," which said the measures would not apply if a voter's grandfather had voted.
It was not until the 1965 Voting Rights Act was signed that African Americans were truly able to exercise their franchise across the United States.
Howard University political science professor Lorenzo Morris told journalists at Washington's Foreign Press Center May 4 that 10 U.S. states have recently enacted voter ID laws, and "it is almost incontrovertible to say that to the extent they are enforced, they would benefit the Republican candidates."
"The impact is statistically not as impressive as one might think," Morris said, but it could conceivably decide the outcome in a closely contested swing state. Citing Florida, which is among those that passed a new law and which ultimately decided the 2000 election between George W. Bush and Al Gore, Morris speculated that voter ID restrictions could affect around 5,000 people in the state.
"Remember, Bush won Florida by less than 500 votes. So if you discourage people from voting due to voter IDs, it ... can have some significant effect, especially in critical states," he said.

Alec Baldwin's 'Orphans' to Close on Broadway
by Associated Press | May 6, 2013 at 6:33 PM | Celebrities
NEW YORK (AP) — The play "Orphans" has been orphaned on Broadway.
Producers said Monday that Lyle Kessler's play starring Alec Baldwin will close May 19 after 27 previews and 37 regular performances at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre.
The play earned Tom Sturridge a best lead actor Tony Award nomination and it was named among the Tony contenders for best revival. It tells the story of two orphaned brothers who kidnap an older man.
The show was perhaps best known for a creative dustup between Baldwin and Shia LaBeouf, which led to the younger man's leaving before the show opened. Ben Foster replaced LaBeouf.
It joins "The Testament of Mary," "Hands on a Hardbody," "The Anarchist," "Scandalous," "Jekyll & Hyde" and "The Performers" to have short Broadway lives this season.

|Summon Water Elemental
|Usable by
|1 min (GCD 1.5 sec)
|Level required
|TCG image
- Not to be confused with Summoned Water Elemental.
Summon Water Elemental is a mage ability learned at level 10 for those with the Frost specialization. It summons a combat Water Elemental to fight for the mage until killed. The minion functions similarly to the Warlock's minions or the Hunter's pets. A pet action bar appears for the mage to command the elemental and control its spells.
Mages should remember that casting [Frostbolt] on the elemental will heal it.
Water Elemental abilities
The water elemental has two abilities, Waterbolt and Freeze. Waterbolt is the elemental's primary spell, and it will automatically use this spell when attacking an enemy. Freeze must be cast explicitly by the mage, as it requires a ground area target.
- [Waterbolt]ω ϖ 45 yd range—Deals X (+ 40% of SpellPower) Frost damage to the target. 1.97 second cast
- [Freeze]ω ϖ (12.0% of base mana) 45 yd range—Blasts enemies in a 8 yard radius for X Frost damage and freezes them in place for up to 8 sec. Damage caused may interrupt the effect. Instant cast (25 sec cooldown)

The water elemental provides a nice DPS boost in raid situations. The elemental can do a good bit of damage with its waterbolt with no mana cost and no threat for the mage. The waterbolt damage does scale slightly with the mage's frost damage, and the minion's mana pool scales as well. The Water Elemental inherits the spell hit rating on his master's gear.
The Freeze ability has many uses in PvP and in certain PvE situations. The ranged nature of the ability makes it useful for catching a runner out of reach of [Frost Nova]. It's also good in emergencies when the mage needs to escape and Frost Nova is on cooldown.
The Freeze ability can be cast and targeted at any time, which includes during a cast and while [Ice Block]ed. It does not affect the mage's global cooldown. This can be especially useful with Blizzard in both PvP and PvE. If the mage gets aggro from a group under his Blizzard, the Elemental's Freeze ability can be used in the middle of his casting, ensuring that the mage stays away from harm and the Blizzard is not interrupted.
Many frost mages rely on the [Shatter] ability to out-dps an opponent in PvP by critting when they are frozen. Since it can often be troublesome to frost nova and charge up a [Frostbolt] due to the fact that the player will either escape the nova or it will be broken by an ally, the Elemental's Freeze ability becomes invaluable. Once you have established some distance between you and your target, charge up a Frostbolt and Freeze the target just before the frostbolt hits them, and [Ice Lance] at the same time. This will ensure that the opponent has no chance to break the freeze, and your spells will get the crit bonus from shatter causing a huge burst of damage.
Countering Water Elementals in PvP
Because of their high damage output and small health pool, it is often wise to kill water elementals summoned by enemy mages before they can do too much damage. Many players will disregard the elemental, simply hoping to kill the mage first or wait for the elemental to despawn. While in certain situations focusing the mage can work, in group combat especially frost mages tend to have quite high survivability, and make for difficult targets to burst down. For example, a melee class being kited by a frost mage would do well to quickly kill the mage's water elemental. Doing so not only nullifies a large portion of the mage's damage output, but also prevents the mage from re-using the water elemental's Freeze ability, which can be devastating when combined with a frostbolt and ice lance combo.
A warlock can simply [Banish] the elemental.
Patch changes
- Patch 4.0.6 (8-Feb-2011): When a mage uses the Invisibility spell, it will now also cause their pet Water Elemental to become invisible.
- / Patch 4.0.1 (12-Oct-2010): Water Elemental made into a permanent pet when specializing in the frost talent tree at level 10.
- Patch 3.3.0 (08-Dec-2009): Waterbolt mana cost reduced by 80%.
- / Patch 3.0.2 (14-Oct-2008): Summoned Water Elemental's Waterbolt range increased, mana cost reduced, Freeze range increased, mana cost increased.
- Patch 2.1.0 (22-May-2007): The Water Elemental will now come into the game with full health and mana, including that gained from a percentage of its master's stamina and intellect. Previously, the pet exhibited a bug where it would not have full health and mana, limiting its usefulness.
- / Patch 2.0.1 (05-Dec-2006): "Frost Nova" (Water Elemental Spell) has now been renamed "Freeze".

Is there economics driving it, the same company does them all, lack of security or personnel........what drives that decision not to have it on the 4th. I know it has been going on for a while, but it just doesn't seem right.

Sensoring the News: Detector-Driven Journalism
The vast majority of data journalism is based on data collected by the government. What if the government doesn't keep the data you need? What if that data is incomplete or questionable? A few journalists and curious citizens are developing inexpensive ways to gather their own useful data. Some are tapping into the maker movement's Internet of Things. Others are working to corral information from sensors in hundreds of smartphones. The goal? Better understand, report on and expose issues around pollution, noise, radiation, traffic and other detectable parts of our communities.

ESPN Radio hopes new antenna helps its 1050 signal
The New York Times recently sold the 96.3 FM frequency long used by WQXR to Univision, which will turn it from classical music to a Spanish language station.
That is relevant here because ESPN Radio was in the mix for that frequency, which it would have used to shift its New York outlet from the unreliable signal at 1050 AM.
For now, ESPN remains stuck there, with hopes a new transmitter in North Bergen, N.J., will improve its signal quality, especially after dark.
Speaking of which, need some help here: Would like to get feedback from WatchDog Nation members around LI - particularly in long-time trouble spot Western Suffolk - about whether the new antenna has helped the 1050 signal, especially after dark.

Prairie Ridge senior OT Shane Evans remembers Boylan loss
The details, painful as they may still be three years after the fact, remain fresh in Shane Evans' head.
Without hesitation, the Prairie Ridge senior offensive and defensive lineman rattles off all that went wrong in the final game of his freshman year. To this day, the Class 6A state semifinal loss to Boylan remains among the most haunting of the 37 games Evans has played in his high school career.
The 14-7 loss in 2010 represents the Wolves' last playoff setback, marred my four fumbles in the red zone and costly penalties. Evans remembers nearly every moment of the game, having reviewed it in his head and on video several times since and hopes to refresh his memory again before Prairie Ridge again faces the Titans in the state quarterfinals Saturday in Rockford.
"I'm hoping they put it on on the bus ride (to Rockford)," Evans said this week.
As soon as Evans got home last weekend after Prairie Ridge's heart-stopping 21-20 win over Marmion, he put the game tape in from the 2010 loss and then started watching the Wolves highlight film from that season. Each time he watched – reliving the costly fumbles and a late clipping penalty that kept the Wolves from a potential game-tying touchdown – Evans gets more motivated to play.
Evans has remained focused on his final year with the Wolves despite starting the season in the midst of heavy recruiting attention. Evans verbally committed to Northern Illinois and will enroll early, making both this season and the Wolves playoff run even more memorable.
The season hasn't been easy as Prairie Ridge needed a three-game winning streak to qualify for the playoffs, shaking off a 2-4 start during which the Wolves' senior leaders had to play a pivotal role in getting things back on track. Evans proved to be a big part of that process.
Not so much through what he's said, but in the way Evans continued to work on the practice field, bringing along younger teammates and putting the Wolves back on the path to the playoffs.
"That's the thing that, especially with our (offensive) line, they really see that – that you have to work hard on a daily basis to be successful," Wolves coach Chris Schremp said. "That workmanlike effort that he gives every day is the thing that's probably the biggest (thing) not only to our team this year, but to the sophomores who are up now."
Evans hasn't yet taken the time to put his final year in perspective, relishing the time he has remaining around his teammates, many of whom he started with as part of the Junior Wolves several years ago. The bond he has with them has been the reason why Evans hasn't shifted his thinking ahead to his college career and on a NIU program that has again spent much of the season nationally ranked.
While Evans has started to spend NIU gamedays in DeKalb watching his future team play, he has remained committed to the business at hand. He understands that his Prairie Ridge playing career could end at any time – a realization that started to sink in when Marmion took a late 20-14 lead last Saturday before Brett Covalt and Danny Meikel connected on a game-winning 28-yard touchdown pass with 59.2 seconds remaining.
"It's sad and it's really emotional having to feel like your last high school football game could be coming up any day," Evans said. "It could be any game."
Perhaps, that's why Saturday's quarterfinal showdown with Boylan looms so large for Evans. The Titans are 50-1 since 2010, a run that includes the seven-point victory over Prairie Ridge. The Wolves went on to win the 2011 6A state championship, but Evans knows that beating Boylan in 2010 could have easily led to another state title, pushing Evans even more.
"I could have had two rings on my fingers," Evans said. "...So that game sticks in my mind and I think I'll use that to my advantage this week."

For the fifth straight year, Wall Street has re-affirmed Virginia Beach's standing as the best-managed city in Hampton Roads. All three major ratings agencies have awarded Virginia Beach the highest possible bond rating of Triple-A.
Virginia Beach is the only city in Hampton Roads with Triple-A bond ratings from all three agencies: Fitch, Moody's and Standard & Poor's. All three agencies cited Virginia Beach's exceptional financial management, conservative budgeting practices, healthy reserves and prudent debt management policies.
As a result, on Tuesday, April 8, the city raised $96 million by selling general obligation bonds for various city and school capital projects at a very low interest rate of just 2.92 percent. This will save taxpayers money as the city repays the debt over 20 years.
"Virginia Beach works very hard to maintain its pristine bond ratings," said Finance Director Patricia A. Phillips. "We are careful not to spend too much money and not to accrue too much debt. It's gratifying that Wall Street appreciates our conservative fiscal management practices."
All three ratings agencies praised Virginia Beach's conservative policies.
"Prudent debt management policies have resulted in moderately low and stable debt levels with a rapid amortization rate," Fitch wrote. "The city's traditional practice of pay-as-you-go capital funding has kept levels moderate and provides budget flexibility, if necessary."
"The stable outlook reflects our view of the city's consistent financial performance and very strong economy, which is supported by a very strong management," Standard & Poor's wrote.
"The city's $54 billion tax base has demonstrated resilience through the recession, with the diversity of the local economy and continued strength in tourism activity and the commercial sector staving off the more substantial taxable value declines experienced in neighboring Virginia communities," Moody's wrote.
The bonds sold Tuesday will help fund road projects such as improvements to Witchduck and Princess Anne Roads, and the replacement of the Lesner Bridge, and school projects such as the consolidation of the Kemps Landing Magnet School and the Old Donation Center.

March 2001
The FDA approved using peg-interferon alone and not in combination with ribavirin (Rebetol). One large study showed that the new formulation was about twice as effective in controlling HCV replication compared to the standard formulation (24% vs. 12% of the participants had HCV RNA levels below 100 copies after 72 weeks). However, more people taking peg-interferon developed mild bone marrow suppression.
The results of using peg-interferon alone are comparable to those seen with standard HCV therapy, which is a combination of standard interferon-alfa and ribavirin (bundled as Rebetron). However, more recent results suggest that combining peg-interferon with ribavirin will be more effective. Through injection under the skin, peg-interferon-alfa is dosed only once a week while standard interferon-alfa is dosed three times a week.
Schering-Plough, the developers of Peg-Intron, recently unbundled ribavirin from regular interferon, something that the activist community has demanded for the past two years. So it is now possible for people to buy ribavirin separately and use it together with other interferon-alfa products or anti-HCV therapies. The cost of peg-interferon will be about twice that of standard interferon ($1,200 vs. $600 per month).
The oral solution, primarily used with children, may cause more side effects than the pill form because it contains a large amount of the substance, propylene glycol. This substance is used to increase the absorption of the drug.
As a result, amprenavir oral solution should not be used by children under the age of four, pregnant women, people with liver or kidney failure and people taking disulfiram (Antabuse) or metronidazole (Flagyl). Additionally, certain racial groups, Asians, Eskimos and Native Americans, may be more likely to develop propylene glycol-related side effects because of genetic differences that impact the way the body breaks down and processes the chemical. People should also avoid drinking alcohol if they take the oral solution.
It is unclear, however, whether many adults are using the liquid solution. People taking amprenavir oral solution should be closely monitored for propylene glycol-related side effects, including seizures, stupor (mental numbness), increased heart rate, increased lactate levels (lactic acidosis), kidney side effects and destruction of red blood cells (hemolysis).
A serious concern about this warning is that it may have the effect of greatly limiting the use of amprenavir in children. While children can in theory be switched to the pill form, the currently available pills are large and difficult to take, even for adults.
In the study, 81 people with HIV-associated wasting disease used either Megace alone (800mg a day) or together with testosterone (200mg twice a week for men and 100mg twice a week for women by injection into muscle). After 12 weeks, people taking Megace alone gained an average of 7.3kg (about 16 pounds) compared to only 5.3kg (almost 12 pounds) for those on the combination. Both groups increased their lean body mass by an average of 3.3kg (about 7 pounds). Not unexpectedly, people taking testosterone had greater sexual drive and function.
A study of nandrolone (Deca-Durabolin) shows that women taking the drug had increased weight and lean body mass. The study followed 38 women with HIV-associated wasting disease. They used 100mg of nandrolone twice a week by injection into the muscle or placebo for twelve weeks. After the first twelve weeks, everybody took the drug for another twelve weeks.
Results after twelve weeks showed that women who used nandrolone gained an average of 4.6kg (about 10 pounds) in weight and 3.5kg (almost 8 pounds) in lean body mass while those taking the placebo had no significant changes in either measurement. Some women taking nandrolone experienced virulizing effects such as hoarseness, excessive hair growth and clitoral enlargement, though these effects were rare.
This new study enrolled 756 people who had not taken anti-HIV therapies before. Twice as many volunteers used d4T + ddI as those who used received AZT + 3TC. After 24 weeks, there were no differences between the two groups and, as a result, the once a day dosing of ddI was approved. However, after 48 weeks of the study, there was a significant difference in anti-HIV activity between the two groups. The results after 48 weeks are as follows:
|d4T + ddI + nelfinavir
|AZT + 3TC + nelfinavir
As a result of this finding, people are recommended to take ddI twice a day rather than once a day. There are a couple of possible reasons for this discrepancy. Twenty-one people (4%) who were supposed to take d4T + ddI + nelfinavir did not start therapy compared to five people on 3TC (2%). Additionally, 20 people (8%) switched from AZT to d4T compared to 16 people (3%) who switched from d4T to AZT. Most of the AZT to d4T switched occurred during the first 24 weeks of the study whereas most of the d4T to AZT switched after the first 24 weeks.

text: The Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue has sent a message to the Hindu faithful on the occasion of the festival of Deepavali which will be celebrated on November 3rd this year. The festival signifies the victory of good over evil. Below is the full text of the message.Dear Hindu Friends,1. In a spirit of friendship, the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogueextends to you best wishes and cordial greetings as you celebrate Deepavali on 3November next. May God, the source of all light and life, illumine your lives anddeepen your happiness and peace.2. In this highly competitive world where increasingly individualistic andmaterialistic tendencies adversely affect human relationships and often createdivisions in families and society as a whole, we wish to share our thoughts onhow Christians and Hindus can foster human relationships for the good of allhumanity through friendship and solidarity.3. Relationships are fundamental to human existence. Security and peace inthe local, national and international communities are largely determined by thequality of our human interaction. Experience teaches us that, the deeper ourhuman relationships, the more we are able to advance towards cooperation,peace-building, genuine solidarity and harmony. In short, the ability to fosterrespectful relationships is the measure of authentic human progress and essentialfor promoting peace and integral development.4. Such relationships ought to flow naturally from our shared humanity.Indeed, human relationships are at the heart of human existence and its progressand naturally give rise to a sense of solidarity with others. Regardless of ourethnic, cultural, religious and ideological differences, all of us belong to the onehuman family.5. Sadly, with the increase of materialism in society and a growing disregardfor deeper spiritual and religious values, there now exists a dangerous trend toaccord the same value to material things as to human relationships, therebyreducing the human person from a 'someone' to a 'something' that can be castaside at will. Furthermore, individualistic tendencies engender a false sense ofsecurity and favour what His Holiness Pope Francis has described as 'a cultureof exclusion', 'a throwaway culture' and 'a globalization of indifference'.6. The promotion of a 'culture of relationship' and 'a culture of solidarity' isthus imperative for all peoples, and calls for the fostering of relationships basedon friendship and mutual respect for the benefit of the entire human family. Thisrequires a common recognition and promotion of the intrinsic dignity of thehuman person. It is evident then that friendship and solidarity are closely related.In the end, a "culture of solidarity means seeing others not as rivals or statistics,but brothers and sisters" (Pope Francis, Visit to the Community of Varginha(Manguinhos), Rio de Janeiro, 25 July 2013).7. Finally, we wish to state our conviction that a culture of solidarity can onlybe achieved as "the fruit of a concerted effort on the part of all, in service of thecommon good" (Pope Francis, Meeting with Brazil's Leaders of Society, Rio deJaneiro, 27 July 2013). Sustained by the teachings of our respective religions andaware of the importance of building genuine relationships, may we, Hindus andChristians, work individually and collectively, with all religious traditions andpeople of good will, to foster and strengthen the human family through friendshipand solidarity. We wish you a happy celebration of Deepavali!Cardinal Jean-Louis TauranPresidentFather Miguel Ángel Ayuso Guixot, MCCJSecretary

Now we can keep a watchful eye on a building that will soon be keeping tabs on criminals. The construction site of the new Winnebago County Jail is online.
A camera sitting on top of Janet Wattles Center is uploading new images of the jail every ten to 15 seconds. Ringland Johnson Construction hired a media group to install the camera so we can see what our tax dollars are being used for.

Steven Anderson: "If You're A Homosexual, I Hope You Get Brain Cancer"
Jim Burroway
September 1st, 2009
And those were the kindest words Tempe, Arizona, Baptist preacher Stephen Anderson said to Michelangelo Signorile. Anderson appeared in Signorile's Sirius OutQ program yesterday and, well, you have to hear this for yourself.
Signorile: You want all gay people to be executed, correct?
Anderson: That is correct. That's what the Bible teaches.
Signorile: Yeah, so that, you would like to see as the law of the land. So under the American law right now, if somebody were to go out with a machine gun and spray down a crowd of gay and lesbian people, would you think that was okay?
Anderson: No I would not think it's okay because I believe in due process and I beleive in ….
Signorile: Would that person be a murderer?
Anderson: I would not judge them as a murderer, no. That's my….
Signorile: Should that person go to jail? Should that person be…
Anderson: … because they should be given a trial by jury. I believe that we should abide by the law of the land. Okay?
Signorile: So wait, that person should not be given the death penalty for killing thirty people? Let's say he kills thirty people who he believes are homosexual. Should he not be given the death penalty?
Anderson: Well, you know I'm not a lawyer. I don't know.
Signorile: Oh you have opinions about every… Wait a minute, you have opinions about everything. And now you're not a lawyer? Come on! You're a preacher! Tell me what you think!
Anderson: I'm an expert on the Bible, not an expert on the law.
Signorile: What do you think should happen to that man? You have told us what you think should happen to everybody under… what?
Anderson: …should have been tried and executed in the first place. You're trying to get me to make all these hypotheticals within a paradigm…
Signorile: So wait, that man should not be executed?
Anderson: Okay, how about the woman who went into the courtroom and shot the pedophile that molested her son? The homosexual pedophile…
Signorile: I don't know anything about it.
Anderson: She brought a gun into the court room and killed him. It was a really famous case, I think it was ten years back.
Signorile: And she should go to jail for murder. Yes, she's a murderer. She is a murderer and she should go to jail. So, do you believe that if somebody goes out and shoots a whole crowd of gay and lesbian people, that person should not be executed?
Anderson: I do not believe that they should received the death penalty, no. But I do believe that they're a criminal, because…
Signorile: Okay, how long should they go away for?
Anderson: … our laws as far as giving people a trial and due process.
Signorile: How long should they go away for for that? A couple of months, what should they do?
Anderson: That's not for me to decide. I'm not running this country. I'm a preacher. I'm telling you what the Bible says.
At 6:30 in the video:
Anderson: You know why homosexuals go to church, it's because they probably can get some action with the children. That's probably why they even go to church.
Signorile: Oh, that's why they go to church. Why, have you seen a lot of this?
Anderson: I believe that's why they go to church. Oh yeah, I've seen homosexuals infiltrate church and molest kids in Sunday School. You see that in Phoenix almost every day.
Signorile: You know, I'm gay..I'm gay, and I don't molest any children. What do you think…
Anderson: Well, I'd say you're lying.
Signorile: Yeah, you think i must be molesting children, right?
Anderson: Exactly, right.
Signorile: Do you pray that I'll died tonight?
Anderson: If you're a homosexual, I hope you get brain cancer like Ted Kennedy. [Click]
And with those words, the good pastor hung up. Michelangelo explained in his blog why it was important to have Anderson on his show:
I had Anderson on the show… because I believe we can't afford to ignore these violence-inciting individuals, not in this time in which Republicans are whipping them into a frenzy. One of the men who brought an assault weapon to President Obama's speech in Phoenix a couple of weeks ago attends Anderson's church. Better to expose them and let the world hear them.
And by the way, has anyone noticed the deafening silence from fellow pastors?
Jack E. Jett Interview: Anderson Reiterates "All Gays Are Predators", Bible Was Written In English
Jim Burroway
August 31st, 2009
It's in three parts. The interview starts out with Anderson's complaints about President Barack Obama, whom Anderson has been asking God to smite and send to hell. He's not too fond of Bush and Cheney either. Anderson also discusses why men should pisseth standing up.
Toward the end of part one (at about 8:40), the conversation turns to Anderson's statement that all gay people are predators and molesters.
Jack E. Jett: You think that all gay people are child molesters and predators. Is that correct?
Steven Anderson: Yes.
Jett: Okay. And you say this because all the gay people you had come in contact with have tried to either seduce your or seduce your children?
Anderson: No, no that's not really the right quote. Here's where I get that belief. First of all, Leviticus 20:13 says that if man also lies with mankind as he lies with a woman, even both of them have committed an abomination, their blood shall be upon them. So God put the death penalty on homosexuality in Leviticus 20:13. It's reiterated again in Romans chapter one in the New Testament.
And as far as believing that they're all pedophiles and predators, it's not… obviously I've come in contact with gay people constantly, and I didn't… obviously every single one of them I came in contact with I didn't witness them trying to molest or trying to rape. But what I said was that there are three stories in the Bible that involve homosexuals, and in all three stories they're trying to rape and abuse people against their will. Also there are other verses in the Bible like Habakkuk 2:!5 … [Begin part 2] … where the Bible insinuates that the gays will try to use alcohol to molest or rape someone against their will. And then I said that the gays I've known, like that I actually knew as far as some that were in my extended family for example, or that I went to school with, were always trying to molest or recruit others to their lifestyle.
Obviously I've come into contact briefly with people out in public. Obviously every single one of them I didn't witness doing this, because they're doing it behind closed doors. But I'm saying I've been exposed to a lot of it. I've seen…
Jett: Have you ever had a gay man come on to you?
Anderson: Well you know I actually have. When I was a teenager, I remember there were actually gays in the Christian school, believe it or not. And they would try to come on to everybody. And you know they were in the closet, but it was real obvious what they were doing . Later on they came out of the closet. And I've seen it in my personal life. I've seen it in the news — and you've got to admit that in the news it's constantly little boys being molested. I mean, it's every day in Phoenix, it's in the news, let alone nationwide.
After returning from a commercial break, Jack E. Jett gave a shout out to BTB readers acknowledging the questions you left for him to ask.They got into interpretation at about 8:00 in part 2:
Jett: How do you know it's not you that's out of synch instead of the rest of the world that's out of synch?
Anderson: I know for a fact that I'm not the only person who believes this way. Give me a break. There are tons of people who believe. I"m just the one who's vocal about it. And the thing is, the way that I know is because that's what the Bible says, people talk all about interpreting the bible. You know, if I'm speaking a foreign language, I"m going to call an interpreter. But you know the Bible's written in English and it's pretty clear what it says. I don't know how else you can interpret it when God says that if a man sleeps with another man, he should be put to death in Leviticus 20:13. I'm not sure how anyone else can interpret that any differently.
Jett: It also says you shouldn't be eating shellfish. We've got a question from someone who went to Red Lobster last night and said that they had a lot of shrimp and should they be put to death? It also says in the Bible you shouldn't be eating figs. There's three quotes in the Bible about eating figs. Now here's a little bit of history for you and if you read your Bible you should know. Did you know that King James himself was gay?
The interview continues in Part 3:
Anderson: Yes, I'm sorry, you cut out on me again. But I heard you talk about the different… the food restrictions… It's so clear in the Bible, if people don't understand the Bible, that's not my fault. The Bible makes it very clear in Genesis chapter nine that every single animal was okay for people to eat in Genesis nine, no matter what the animal. During the time of Moses and the tabernacle and the Mosaic Law, God gave them dietary restrictions that ended with the coming of Jesus Christ and that's described in Hebrews chapter nine. And so those were the symbolic things that were …. the food, the washing, the animal sacrifices, that were very clearly stated in the Bible that were for a temporary time.
That doesn't mean we can just take out all of God's laws and just throw them out just because they come from the Old Testament. Plus, Romans chapter one and the book of Jude reiterate, and also Second Peter chapter two, reiterate the death penalty for homosexuals and reiterate that it's an abomination in the New Testament.
Jett: Did you know King James himself was gay?
Anderson: That's not true. That's the propaganda that's been stated. There are historians who try to say he was. I've read many biographies of King James where they had whole chapters disproving the fact that he was gay, and it was not even a Christian historian. It was just a secular historian.
Jett: Why would it be necessary for a Bible to disprove someone was gay, if he wasn't gay? Why do you need to disprove it?
Anderson: Do you want to try to call me back because I can't hear a word you're saying. I'm really sorry.
And so he hung up. Jack and the others in the studio noted that no one else was having problems with the phone system. (I'd have to confirm that when I was on the program a few weeks ago, their phones were exceptionally clear — more clear than many other radio interviews I've done over the phone.)

The Power of Independent Thinking
Politics and Protests of the Biotech Revolution
Recorded: Tuesday, December 13, 2005
For millennia, farmers all over the world have bred crops for their resistance to disease, productivity, and nutritional value. Over the past century, scientists have used increasingly more sophisticated methods for modifying crops at the genetic level. But only since the 1970s have advances in gene-splicing and other aspects of biotechnology upped the ante with the promise of dramatically improved agricultural products. Today, few topics have the power to inspire as much international furor and misinformation as the development and distribution of genetically altered foods. Is public resistance far out of synch with the potential risks? Please join us as Henry Miller, co-author of the new book The Frankenfood Myth, and Bruce Ames, U.C. Berkeley professor of biochemistry and molecular biology, address this critical 21st century issue.

Having just experienced a computer collapse and rebuild, and at the same time configured a new home laptop, it got me thinking about the software that I need that I could not do without. I decided to construct a list. An essential ingredient is interoperability with mobile devices, something that didn't enter into serious consideration only a couple of years ago. The desktop is now just one in a triad of equally important devices (the tablet and smart phone being the others) that any digitally literate person depends on, so my list has to embrace these platforms as well.
First, and foremost, is Dropbox. It is the number one app I need on each platform. It acts as a digital lingua franca. If you can get a file into Dropbox you can get it anywhere on any of your devices. It features unparalleled usefulness and simplicity.
Since most of the things we do these days is web-based, the second most important piece of software anyone needs is a browser. I like, and recommend, Firefox. Not because it works better than Chrome, my second choice, but because Mozilla's approach seems so noble. Look no further than Firefox or Chrome, however. The competent browser list ends there for me.
After selecting a browser, selecting the essential extensions and plugins is also critical. Both Firefox and Chrome support Clearly and Web Clipper, from Evernote, which is itself in the same category as Dropbox, being essential note taking and systems integration software. Clearly takes those web pages that are heavily laden with ads and other trash and cleans them up for easy reading. Web Clipper lets you easily clip any URL, page, or article to your Evernote notebook. And Evernote itself is indispensable for doing research on the web. Many people also think that "read later" software is indispensible, like Instapaper or Pocket, but when I run across something I intend to follow up on I simply make an Evernote note out of it. I dispensed with Instapaper when I realized that I had so many "read later" entries that I would never look at them all, and that if I truly intended to follow up making a note in Evernote seems to cement the intention for me.
Even though the web is moving away from Flash, the Adobe Flash player is still essential as a browser plugin in order to play non-HTML 5 video or other animations. Ditto for the Adobe Reader. Like them or not, you still need to download and install them. Chrome users have alternatives, but others do not.
As far as "productivity" software is concerned, a word that is synonymous with Word/Excel/PowerPoint, there is no substitute for Microsoft Office. It is the best productivity software in the world, by far, and is now available to individuals (but not yet at our institution) on a subscription basis that allows for document saves to the cloud, settings tracking, and instant updates. I personally subscribe to Office 365, which allows me five simultaneous installations, either Mac or PC, at the cost of $10 per month. The best deal of which I am aware is Office 365 University which allows for only 2 simultaneous installations, but costs $79.99 FOR FOUR YEARS, renewable for another four years. This works out to about $1.67 per month for the best product of its kind on the globe. You must be a student, faculty or staff member to qualify. But wow. Enough said.
After Office, I would say the next most essential program for me for content creation/manipulation would be SnagIt, and I would think this would be true for most people. With Office and SnagIt we have strayed into for-pay territory, but if you want the best you sometimes have to pay for it even in the software age of give to get. While we license SnagIt for full-time faculty at our institution, it is definitely worth the educational price of $29.95 for others.
Since I still edit a lot of web pages outside of WordPress—though the number is getting smaller—I need an html editor too. My motto is 'why pay when you can get a great one for free' so I use Microsoft's Expression Web 4. Maybe by the time it is deprecated by Microsoft I won't have to work on raw web pages any longer. That is definitely the trend.
For Geolocation, and a million other reasons, everyone needs Google Earth, especially since it has a Google maps tie in. Feel the earth rumble, find the epicenter in seconds; need to find a mexican restaurant near you, bingo; what does the meeting site look like from street view; like that.
That's the end of my essentials list, believe it or not. The rest falls into the realm of personal taste: media player, music service (Spotify gets my vote); movie apps; books; audio books; newspaper and magazine apps; twitter client; video editor; messaging client; and so on. Many of us would call these apps essential, and others would regard them as frivolous, and I haven't even mentioned games, which I too regard as frivolous.
For what it is worth, the software mentioned above is what the adequately equipped digital literati owns.

Bristow Academy, Inc. is approved for the training of veterans, reservists, and other eligible persons under the provisions of Title 38, U.S. Code.
The Veterans Administration will not pay for the Private rating. Once the veteran has a Private Pilot Certificate, the VA will reimburse 60% of the veteran's training costs for Part 141 approved courses. The courses Bristow Academy has approved by the VA at this time are Commercial Pilot, Commercial Pilot Add-On, Instrument Rating, Certified Flight Instructor, Certified Flight Instructor Instrument, Turbine Transition, and Airline Transport Pilot courses.
The first step a veteran needs to take is to find out if they qualify for benefits. The veteran can call the Veterans Administration at 1-888-442-4551. They can tell the veteran if they qualify and answer questions that the veteran may have.
Once the veteran knows that they have benefits available Bristow Academy can assist with completing the relevant VA forms once they arrive for training and/or have completed their Private license. If this is the first time a veteran has used their benefits they will complete a VA Form 22-1990 Application for VA Education Benefits. If the veteran has used their benefits before they will complete a VA Form 22-1995 Request for Change of Program or Place of Training. The completed form is mailed to the VA by Bristow Academy along with a copy of the veteran's discharge papers (Military Form DD214 - #4 copy). If the veteran does not have a #4 copy of their DD214 they must obtain this before arrival at Bristow Academy. The veteran will receive an awards letter stating the amount of benefits available for use. A copy of this letter needs to be given to Bristow Academy so an Enrollment Certificate can be sent to the Veterans Administration to enroll the veteran in our program.
Once the veteran starts training we will complete a report each month for training costs to submit to the VA. The VA will reimburse the veteran's training costs based on these reports. After the report is submitted the veteran will receive their check.
The VA pays in arrears so the veteran is responsible for payment of training at the time of service and the VA will reimburse the veteran directly.

App promises to change your mobile photography perspective
Erin Lodi | Published: Mar 18, 2013 at 15:52 UTC6
The fixed wide angle lens of your smartphone can make it difficult to achieve accurate perspective in your mobile images, particularly when shooting architecture and landscapes.
The Perspective Correct app allows for live view control over perspective, letting you correct for distortion before capture. The app is out today for iPhone and iPad users, available in the Apple App Store for $1.99 USD. No word yet on when it might be ported to other mobile operating systems.
We've had a quick play with the app to practice manipulating scenes before snapping. The selective focus and exposure controls are also very useful, and we look forward to running the app through our own testing.

Who's who - A portrait of a person who is part of your community
By: Brandon Darnell, News Messenger Reporter
Name: Dave Dorer Occupation: Real-estate broker Age: 56 Family: Wife, Debby City of residence: Sheridan How would you describe yourself? "What you see is what you get. I don't like wearing a tie but I do every once in a while. I really like Lincoln. It fits me." Why do you think Lincoln fits you? "My family is one of the original families in the area. We've been here since 1856, when they emigrated from the Black Forest area of Germany. We can trace our family back to 1417. Also, I'm really fascinated with history, especially from 1856 to 1941 because my grandfather, Ray Dorer, was a big gold miner. He ran for mayor of Auburn and there are still a lot of monuments and artifacts in Auburn that were donated by my family. It's just neat history in this area." How did you get started in real estate? "I had a carpet cleaning and janitorial service for 17 years but I was in a severe auto accident and could no longer physically do it anymore. I had to decide what to do and my dad had passed away in Oregon and we had to sell his house. When I talked to the Realtor, who mentioned making a fire to have the house seem cozy, I thought it sounded like something I wanted to do. I love people, I am an outgoing person and that's a warm and fuzzy for me. I got my license and that was 11 years ago." What is your goal now that you work out of an office and not solely for yourself? "My goal is teaching and helping people become successful. If I can get an office full of people who can finance their lives and their families, that's the icing on the cake. I just love teaching people how to become successful, building relationships with people and serving people. My niche is networking." What are some of your hobbies? "Right now (my wife and I) are training our horses. They're wild mustangs from the Bureau of Land Management – rescued horses. They're like our pets. We live right in the middle of a horse pasture. One of our horses, Lakoda, will stick his head in the car window when I stop at the gate because he found an apple in the passenger seat once and he keeps hoping for another." What is something readers are surprised to learn about you? "When I tell people my age and I tell them I have five kids and five grandkids, I guess they're usually surprised. I don't think they think I look old enough for that." - If you would like to see a neighbor or friend featured here, please e-mail email@example.com or call Brandon Darnell at 774-7967.

New Delhi, Apr 23 ( TruthDive): The Cabinet Committee cleared investments worth $2.71 billion and $1.9 billion would be spent on exploration in the next 3-5 years in oil exploration and production in 25 blocks.
The defence ministry had imposed stringent restrictions asking companies not to locate pipelines or structures on the sea surface. Yet another condition was that such pipelines located even under sea surface should be beyond 100 meters outside the Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO), IAF and Navy danger zone areas.
Nine blocks were cleared without any conditions and 16 blocks were cleared with relaxed conditions. 31 blocks came for review, said an official statement but did not elaborate on which blocks were subjected to restrictions. Reliance Industries-BP combine thirteen blocks, Govt owned ONGC 15 blocks, Santos of Australia 2 blocks and 1 block of Cairn India-led consortium.
Investments worth $2.71 billion were blocked in these 31 blocks due to security restrictions imposed by the defence ministry. Commerce Ministry had already cleared one block as it had come into SEZ area. 13 power projects with an investment of about Rs 33,000 crore awaiting environmental ministry were cleared.
$13.42 billion had already been spent and another $2.5 billion has been estimated to be be spent. This exercise was taken after FM sat with banks on projects that were stalled due to ministerial clearances.

Artwork of Cremia (left) and Romani (right)
|First appearance
|Majora's Mask (2000)
|Romani Ranch
|Romani (sister)
Deceased Father
|Terminan Hylian
- "I guess it's been a while now since our father died. I'm trying to take care of the ranch, but things have been getting unstable lately... the cows always seem bothered and frazzled, and I'm finding broken bottles everywhere... Who's doing it, I don't know... My sister Romani has been worried, too. She's practicing using a bow...She says it's to stop the "ghosts.""
- — Cremia
Cremia is character from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. She is a young woman who runs Romani Ranch with her younger sister Romani. Interestingly, Cremia appears to have a Triforce emblem on her belt. This is odd because the Triforce is directly connected to Hyrule, and appears to have little significance in Termina outside of Ikana; however, this is probably due to the fact that she uses the same textures as the older Malon from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Sometime before the First Day of the three-day cycle, a boulder is placed on Milk Road, preventing Cremia from delivering the ranch's milk to the Milk Bar in Clock Town. Link can destroy the boulder using a Powder Keg on the First Day, enabling Cremia to make deliveries once more; however, to do this he must first prevent Romani and the ranch's cows from being kidnapped by "Them", despite Cremia's reluctance to believe what Romani tells her about the "ghost" attacks, which coincide with the Carnival of Time.
If the milk delivery is saved, Cremia will invite Link to join her on her milk run; her carriage departs at 6:00 PM on the night of the Second Day. Despite her protestations, Cremia forces Romani to stay behind and watch over the cows. Once they depart from the ranch, Cremia tells Link about the history of her ranch, as well as a friend in Clock Town who is getting married - referring to Anju, who runs the Stock Pot Inn. When they arrive at Milk Road, however, they find another hindrance - a large, impassable fence - has been erected, forcing them to take a detour through the Gorman Track. Sensing trouble, Cremia tells Link to ready his bow to shake off any pursuers.
Indeed, the Gorman Brothers, hidden behind Garo's Masks, attack and try to destroy her milk bottles; Link must shoot arrows at them to prevent them from getting too close to the cache of milk. If she completes her milk run with at least one bottle of milk intact, she rewards Link with Romani's Mask, acknowledging him as an adult; subsequent attempts will yield Rupees, Chateau Romani, or a hug. Should Link fail, however, a tired and despondent Cremia claims she "has failed as a ranch manager", though she thanks Link for trying.
On the night of the Final Day, if Link has completed the milk delivery, Cremia can be found in the barn along with Romani, having promised Romani that she will be allowed to drink Chateau Romani, which is usually reserved for adults. At Romani's insistence, she also promises to make her a Romani's Mask, acknowledging her as an adult as well. Lastly, she promises Romani that she can sleep in her bed that night. The reason for this is because Cremia knows that they are to meet their fate at the hands of the Moon that night, so she allows Romani to sleep in her bed so that they can spend their final moments together. In the end credits sequence, Cremia can be seen cheering Romani on as she hits several balloons with her bow.
Spoiler warning: Spoilers end here.
Cremia could possibly be named after the English word "cream", a by-product of milk. This would make sense because Romani Ranch produces and sells milk.

Early on Wednesday morning, a South Carolina college confirmed a 19-year-old sophomore at the school died after being shot at a residence hall.
Coastal Carolina University posted on it's website at 12:45 Wednesday morning that Anthony Liddell from Bennettsville died overnight after being shot at University Place residence hall.
The college's website also cites the CCU Department of Public Safety's chief, David Roper, saying there was no apparent threat to students, faculty, or staff at the school.
School spokeswoman Martha Hunn told reporters that dispatchers got the call of a shooting on campus around 7:20PM on Tuesday, and overnight the gunman was still at large.
Residence halls were locked down while the search for the suspect continued through Tuesday night.
Starting at 8AM on Wednesday, the college said there would be counseling available at the school's Lackey Chapel.
Classes will resume Wednesday morning as scheduled, as the campus police perceive no active threat to the college.
No word yet on any arrests.
Previous Story:
A South Carolina college spokeswoman says one person has been wounded in a shooting at a school apartment complex near campus, and a lockdown of campus buildings has been ordered.
Coastal Carolina University spokeswoman Martha Hunn said the gunman was still at large Tuesday night.
She said dispatchers received a call around 7:20 p.m. regarding a shooting at University Place, which is adjacent to S.C. Highway 544.
Hunn said the victim was transported to Grand Strand Regional Hospital.
Students were allowed to leave classroom buildings late Tuesday, but residence halls remained on lockdown.
According to the school's website, University Place houses almost 2,000 students.
Coastal Carolina University has an enrollment of slightly more than 9,000 students. The school, founded in 1954, is in Conway, 15 miles northwest of Myrtle Beach.

Manners and Customs - Austria
Last Updated: 7th Jun 2012

No Matter where you travel, it's always best to understand a little of the language, manners and customs of your host country in order to be polite and respectful to the locals. A few of these hints and tips may help you out as you tour through Austria while it's also helpful to know a little German (Austrians speak various dialects of German).

Contiki's tour managers live and work in Europe full time and are also on hand to help you out throughout your tour.

Austrians are generally very polite and proper people and please, thank you, hello and goodbye are important

English is widely spoken and accepted

If a 10 -15% service charge is added to your bill it is polite to only leave small change as a tip, otherwise 10-15% tip for service is appreciated

The Austrians take excellent care of their environment and you should take care to help them recycle. There are very strict laws that enforce recycling and these should be adhered to

Fairfield Inn Bangor
Traveler Comments
Great stay. Very clean. Convenient location to airport. Very friendly staff.
I like this hotel because it is close to my company facility, very comfortable and professional. The breakfast is very good, the beds are super comfortable and the staff is always friendly. My company always uses this chain of hotels whenever possible, and I am glad they do!
Good for the price.
Rooms are clean. Great pool/Hottub
This one is GREAT. The breakfast could include some non-milk based protein and fresh fruit, but it was great anyway. The pool/hot tub/sauna is very clean and enjoyable. The room was clean, neat and in good repair. The hotel was generally attractive. The staff was attentive and helpful, and check in/out was quick. I responded that for all the topics the service was 'as expected,' and I just wanted to clarify that. Everything was 'as expected' because that's what I've come to expect from this motel. However, when compared to others it was well above average.
Clean, located right off the highway which was good since we were travelling through
Everything was top notch. Comfort, cleanliness, etc. Discount for my group was phenominal. Breakfast was convenient and the only thing I wished they had was hard-boiled eggs. I don't use milk products, so there was no protien I could eat without the eggs (yogurt made from milk). Not a biggie...pool was great, sauna was great, but hot tub was a tad too hot. Had a wonderful time and will use for similar functions again!
