Scientist on board as Parkinson's group expands into research
The Parkinson's Association has hired its inaugural scientist, a step the San Diego-based patient advocacy group describes as its first toward becoming a research center.
The scientist, Andrés Bratt-Leal, helps lead a project called Summit4StemCell.org, which aims to treat eight local Parkinson's patients with new brain cells grown from their own skin. The patients are raising money for their treatment. They're assisted by the nonprofit association and partners Scripps Health and The Scripps Research Institute.
If all goes well, treatment will start early next year.
Bratt-Leal continues to work in the lab of stem cell expert Jeanne Loring, head of the Center for Regenerative Medicine at The Scripps Research Institute. The medical arm of the project is being directed by Dr. Melissa Houser, a Scripps Health neurologist.
Bratt-Leal, as it turns out, has been working on a project of his own: He's an expectant father. Bratt-Leal had considered leaving his job in Loring's lab to seek work closer to home in San Clemente.
"Jeanne asked me to see if we could negotiate a contract with him where he would be able to stay in a broader capacity," said Jerry Henberger, the association's executive director. "He didn't have the ability through The Scripps Research Institute to take that next step."
The association found the money to hire Bratt-Leal, who started as its senior scientist in February. As part of the deal, he continues to work under Loring's direction.
Raising money has been a constant concern since Summit4StemCell was founded in 2011. If a clinical trial of the therapy is approved, millions will be needed to pay for the treatment and kept as a reserve for care if the therapy goes awry.
The good news is that funding may be available from the state's stem cell agency, the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, Henberger said. The group plans to submit a proposal when the next funding round begins.
In addition, the project may qualify for financial backing from the Sanford Stem Cell Clinical Center, which was established in November with a $100 million gift from philanthropist T. Denny Sanford. The center integrates operations at UC San Diego and other La Jolla research centers to turn the science into therapies.
Parkinson's progressively takes away movement; the cause is a gradual destruction of certain neurons in the brain that make the neurotransmitter dopamine. Summit4StemCell's goal is to restore movement by replacing the dopamine-making neurons. A similar attempt with fetal brain cells about two decades ago yielded mixed results. Researchers expect that transplants of the patient's own cells, produced under quality-controlled conditions, will work better.
The Parkinson's Association, which serves Southern California, was founded about four decades ago. It served mainly as an education and support group. Approximately two years ago, the association decided to become more active in providing therapy, Henberger said. The emphasis on research is part of that shift in mission.
"Between interns and professional psychologists, we've got about 10 professional therapists on staff," Henberger said. The association became qualified to get Medicare funding. That pays for the therapists to help handle issues that arise as a result of Parkinson's. These include stresses on families and depression.
"We're bringing on physical therapists, occupational therapists, private trainers and speech pathologists," Henberger said. This will all be covered by Medicare, he said. Parkinson's symptoms often emerge around the time people become eligible for such coverage.

Annual Christmas Eve ceremony celebrates Johns Hopkins' founding gift
Graveside gathering held on anniversary of benefactor's 1873 death
Members of the Johns Hopkins community and city residents gathered at the hilltop gravesite of Johns Hopkins on Christmas Eve morning, the 139th anniversary of his death, to celebrate the benefactor of the university and hospital that bear his name.
The annual ceremony, held at 10 a.m. at Baltimore's Green Mount Cemetery, included remembrances and a wreath laying. It was led by Ross Jones, vice president and secretary emeritus of the university. Neil Grauer, A&S '69, author of the recently published "Leading the Way: A History of Johns Hopkins Medicine," also delivered brief remarks.
The $7 million estate left by Hopkins in equal parts to the two institutions was, at the time of his death in 1873, the largest philanthropic bequest in U.S. history.
Mr. Hopkins' obituary from the Dec. 25, 1873, edition of The Baltimore Sun is available online.

Oh Where, Oh Where Did My Facebook Go?
by Mike Stanz
posted Aug 1 2014 11:34AM
Some Facebook users Friday morning were rudely surprised to find that their electronic connection to the world was broken.
Some who tried to log on were faced with a message from Facebook that said, "Sorry, something went wrong."
That's it. No further explanation. Just "something went wrong." And some people went a little gaga. When one social media outlet isn't there, you need to go to another to complain about it. Which is making #facebookdown the top trending item in the Twitterverse right now.
Still no word from Facebook on what happened, or how many people were affected, or how long the disruption lasted. It does seem that things are back to normal, so everyone can get back to the business of sharing Grumpy Cat memes and commenting on the latest escapades of
The Real Housewives of Wherever

Severe weather impacts Pompeii
Recent heavy rain in Italy has caused parts of the ancient city of Pompeii to collapse. The ruins have been in slow decline for many years, but now the weather is accelerating that decline. As BBC Weather's Nick Miller explains on BBC World there are concerns further extreme weather could damage other ancient ruins.

An RDF query is a question that you ask an RDF program that knows how to navigate RDF data.
See Also RDFQuery/Ideas
Implementations of RDF Query
- What RDF query Implementations are available?
- Are there, or will there be, W3C working groups dedicated to RDF queries?
- Does RDF query relate to XML query? If so, how?
- Which RDF query languages can handle DAML+oil/OWL properties like inverse, unambiguousProperty?
- How does RDF query handle datatypes?
- Which query languages for RDF allow you to specify optional variables to bind?
- Which RDF query languages are widely deployed?
- What is an RDF query?
- How do you query a reified statement? (see RdfReification)
- How do you represent BlankNodes in RDF queries?
Capabilities of QLs
How can queries be performed?
- Is there a programmatic query API? (what is a programmatic query?)
- How do I query generic RDBMS, SQL data using RDF query?
- By dumping it to RDF (using e.g. D2R-Map) or by using a dynamic query translator like D2RQ (for Jena) or Federate.
- How can I query and return provenance information in RDF query? (what is provenance information?)
- Use a query language capable of querying sets of named graphs, e.g. SPARQL or TriQL
- How do I represent RDF graphs in a (RDBMS, SQL) database and query them?
- There's much existing work on this to be found out there.
- Why not use an RDF graph with blanks for querying RDF? (See: GraphMatchingQuery)
Testing the Proposed Specification
We're starting to see demo services based on the SPARQL spec from the RDF Data Access WG: DawgShows.
- RDFQueryTestCases
- RDFQueryTestcasesRequirements
- RdfQueryTestingBOF
- RdfQueryTestingBudapestBOF
- RdfQueryTestingBudapestMeeting
- Are there any test suites or test cases for RDF query ?
- As it is a proposal, these cannot be written yet. However, one can attempt to implement suggestions made about the specification and report back with your findings.
- What summaries of RDF query are available?
- Are there any product-independent query languages?
- Are there any product-independent languages of any kind? Most likely it will be extended, even if a core is agreed. In light of that, one could say SQL. I suspect this is not the intended question.

Yay!!! I do believe I am actually in labor!!! Contractions since 2:47 (when I started timing) and every 4-6 minutes. My bag has all the final necessities in it, waiting at the door. The troops have been called and I am getting ready to take a nice, long relaxing bath here at home before I go in. Cross your fingers and say a prayer please for a healthy and not-too-long delivery!

Hi Lissa, Things went beautifully- thank you! I labored at home until just before 9 a.m. with contractions every 3 minutes. I went to the hospital and was only dilated to 1 cm despite the consistent, strong contractions. I was given the choice of going home or walking for a couple of hours. I chose to walk, of course, and my water broke about 15 minutes later. I ended up dilating from 1 to 10 within 2 hours... pushed 4 times and my beautiful and healthy daughter was born completely naturally with no tearing. While I had wanted pain medicine, I didn't have the time once they decided they definitely needed to admit me, but it was beautiful and memorable and I am so happy things went the way they did. :)

Youth sports seeks coaches
February 20, 2014
By Nathan Pfau, Army Flier Staff Writer
Related Links
FORT RUCKER, Ala. (February 20, 2014) -- The youth sports program on Fort Rucker offers children an outlet for competition and the opportunity to learn valuable life lessons, but the program wouldn't have legs to stand on if it weren't for one of its fundamental assets -- volunteer coaches.
The Fort Rucker Child, Youth and School Services Youth Sports program is looking for volunteer coaches for all sports who can stand up to the challenge when it comes to guiding and mentoring the installation's youth, said Jackie Johnson, CYSS program associate.
"We're looking for people who have the time, quality of work, responsibility, kindness and patience to teach our youth the fundamentals of youth sports," she said. "It's important that the volunteers are excited and engaging with the children because when the coaches are excited about what they're doing, then the children are more likely to have fun and participate."
Randy Tolison, Fort Rucker Youth Sports director, said that coaching is mostly about the commitment to the children and being there for them when needed the most.
"We really like to emphasize to our coaches that if they step in to fill this responsibility, those kids are depending and counting on them to be there for them," he said.
Practices and games for the younger children last about 45 minutes to an hour, said Tolison, and practices and games for the older children can last a little over an hour.
"The teams stay pretty active and can practice anywhere from two to three times a week prior to the season," he said. "When the season starts, teams will normally practice once a week and play twice a week."
Safety is also a major concern, and volunteers are properly vetted and trained to take on the responsibility. No volunteers will be turned away, said Johnson, but people interested must submit a background packet, which can be filled out in Bldg. 5700, Rm. 193, and attend a mandatory training session.
The training sessions last about three to three and a half hours, but if people aren't able to attend the session in one sitting, accommodations can be made, added the CYSS program associate.
"We understand that people are busy, and a lot of people find it difficult to come and do the training all at once," said Johnson. "We will work with them and break up the sessions into times that will accommodate them, but either way, the training must be completed."
During the training, volunteers will be given an introduction to and go over the sport that they are interested in coaching. They will also watch a parent video and a video relating to child abuse, and Tolison said the time is a good opportunity for people to ask questions.
Experienced coaches are welcomed, but experience is not necessary, said Johnson.
"We've had lots of people that started coaching by volunteering with us for the first time who said they were hesitant about doing it because they didn't have the experience," she said. "Once they came aboard and started, they had some of the best experiences with the children and loved it so much that they come back to coach for us again."
Coaching isn't all just about giving, however, said Tolison. A lot of the reward for coaching comes from seeing the children improve throughout the season, but also building relationships with the children and their Families.
"I've had some coaches tell me that the greatest thing about coaching is when a kid comes up to you outside of practice or games and just gets so excited to see you," he said. "The rewards may not be monetary, but it's one of those intangible moments that is so rewarding."
For more information, call 255-0950.

Holiday Season Safety Message 2013
December 13, 2013
Related Links
The holiday season is a perfect opportunity to spend quality time with Family and friends. As we begin this special time of year, I extend my appreciation to each and every Soldier, Civilian, Contractor and Family Member for your sacrifices, selfless service, and personal commitment to Army Medicine.
To ensure a safe and joyous holiday celebration, I ask that you keep safety at the forefront of all activities. Our goal, together, is to have an accident-free holiday. Be aware of and manage daily risks- from hanging lights on your home to traveling the busy roadways. Additionally, I want all leaders to emphasize suicide risks as well as sexual assault risks, prevention, and response in their holiday safety briefings. Guidance is available at: http://armymedicine.mil/pages/sharp.aspx.
Many of you will be traveling to be with your Families over the holidays. Use the TRiPS online planning tool found on the Army Safety Center website, at https://safety.army.mil/, to assist you in making sound risk decisions regarding your travel plans. Discuss your travel plans with your supervisor and Family before setting out for your holiday journey. Their wisdom and advice should be incorporated in all you do to ensure your personal safety. Fatigue is often a risk factor contributing to serious accidents; ensure you are getting adequate sleep as well as nutrition and exercise. Learn more about a System for Health and the Performance Triad at the following link: http://armymedicine.mil/Pages/performance-triad.aspx.
Make this the safest and most joyful holiday season ever by looking out for others. I wish you all a happy and safe holiday season. We are "Army Safe and Army Strong."
Serving to Heal...Honored to Serve!
Lt. Gen. Patricia Horoho

Commanding General, U.S. Army Medical Command

Treecko (EX Ruby & Sapphire 76)
Treecko (Japanese: キモリ Kimori) is a Grass-type Basic Pokémon card. It was first released as part of the EX Ruby & Sapphire expansion.
Card text
Release information
This card was included in the English EX Ruby & Sapphire expansion, first originating from the Japanese Treecko Constructed Starter Deck, with artwork by Ken Sugimori. The Holofoil version found in the Treecko Constructed Starter Deck was printed in English as one of the Nintendo Black Star Promos and awarded through various European POP tournaments in August 2004. It was later reprinted as another Nintendo Black Star Promo with different artwork by Atsuko Nishida and was awarded through the Pokémon League in October 2003. The Japanese version was released as part of a McDonald's campaign in January 2003. The print released through POP tournaments in Europe has a foil Poké Ball symbol in the bottom right of the illustration.
Tail Slap is a move later introduced in the Generation V Pokémon games; however, the Japanese names are not the same, making this attack and the move unrelated. Razor Leaf is a move in the Pokémon games, though Treecko cannot learn it. This card's English Pokédex entry is taken from Sapphire.

Unapologetic Millennial Conservative Has a TOUGH Message for Her Generation
-By Warner Todd Huston
Young journalist Alexis Bloomer has a message for her fellow millennials and it's one many won't want to hear. Alexis wants her fellow 20 somethings to "pull their pants up" and start actually contributing to society instead of lazing around and posting social media updates as if that was activism.
Bloomer also has a message to the older generations: "I'm Sorry," she says. Sorry for the many failings of her arrogant generation.
The journalist said she decided to assess her generation. "As a millennial, I decided to take it upon myself to try to evaluate what's so wrong with our generation and why they're so mad at us," she said on her video posted to Youtube.
But as she looked over her generation she realized that some of the harshest criticism of millennials probably has a lot of validity to it.
"We're just existing, we're not really contributing anything to society," she insisted and then went on to lay out all the accusations against her generation.
"Our generation doesn't have the basic manners that include no ma'am and yes ma'am," Bloomer said. "We don't even hold the door open for ladies much less our elders anymore."

Facebook Can't Handle The Truth: Censors Image of Muslim Kids Playing With Human Head
-By Warner Todd Huston
Amidst President Obama's dangerous campaign to import hundreds of thousands of Syrian "refugees" into the U.S.–any number of whom WILL be ISIS terrorists–Facebook revealed its desire to help Obama by censoring a photo of a group of Muslim kids joyously playing with a human head as a toy.
Last week I posted to my personal Facebook account a photo of a pack of Muslim boys playing with a human head.
Along with the photo I wrote that the image was "A reminder: Here's some of Obama's "orphans" so deserving of getting imported into the U.S."
This quip of mine was in reference to Obama's absurd jab at Republicans who oppose his ISIS member importation policy where he said that Republicans were afraid of "widows and orphans."
In any case, I posted the photo to show that we do, indeed, have something to worry about where it concerns Obama's "orphans." After all, these kids are raised to have no respect for "infidels," they are raised to think that non-Muslim lives are not worth anything. And that is what Obama wants to bring here!
Further, we have a great example of a "widow" and her "orphans" who were allowed to come here without restriction in the persons of the Tsnaraev brothers who later became notorious as the Boston marathon bombers. These two young men were Muslim "orphans" from Kyrgyzstan who ended up as imported terrorists.
Yet, Facebook refused to allow my legitimate politically poignant photo of Muslim boys playing with a human head to stay up.
Facebook can't handle the truth.

We Should End Birthright Citizenship Whether Trump Wins Election or Not

We Should End Birthright Citizenship Whether Trump Wins Election or Not
-By Warner Todd Huston
One of the key aspects of the new immigration policy that Donald Trump proposed this weekend was to end birthright citizenship, the one rule that has served to create the "anchor baby" phenomenon drawing pregnant mothers to the U.S. from every corner of the world. This would be the right move for any president to make and it would be in keeping with the original intent of the Constitution and its requisite amendments.
Donald Trump came out with his plan to fix immigration on Sunday written with the aid of Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions. Along with appearances on the Sunday political talk show, Trump issued a new policy paper to codify his plan. If elected he says he would work to streamline the immigration process, triple the number of Immigration and Customs officers, require companies to hire only American citizens or legal immigrants by implementing the e-verify program, and he would end birthright citizenship.
Of the latter, Trump said that birthright citizenship (BC) "remains the biggest magnet for illegal immigration."
Millions of immigrant women, pregnant or not, come here in order to have their child born on U.S. soil so that they can then claim citizenship for the child. This action has the benefit of giving cover for family members of that sudden "new citizen" to stay in the U.S. and to give those family members free benefits courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer.
Americans rally against "birth tourism."
Unfortunately, what we have now is a situation where the law considers someone a "natural born citizen" based solely on the physical location of their birth. If a child is born anywhere inside U.S. territory, that child is an automatic citizen. This might seem logical, but is actually a perversion of the ideas of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It has also become a loophole by which millions of greedy foreigners have grabbed hold of U.S. benefits they do not deserve.
Birthright citizenship should absolutely be eliminated regardless of who becomes president.

Pure Media Bias: Liberal Media Smears Mitt Romney With Death of Cecil The Lion

Pure Media Bias: Liberal Media Smears Mitt Romney With Death of Cecil The Lion
-By Warner Todd Huston
For the last few days the left-wing media has been losing its tiny collective mind over the death of Zimbabwe's Cecil the lion. Well, today the liberal Washington-based political newspaper The Hill published a story breathlessly informing the world that the man who shot the lion donated to Mitt Romney's presidential campaign. And then, in a perfect example of media bias, the left-wing newspaper Tweeted a photo of the dead lion next to an image of Romney!
This is little else but the yellowest of yellow journalism. What does Romney have to do with the death of Cecil the lion? Nothing. But for some reason The Hill wants to link the death of the beloved lion to Romney!
Here is the Tweet that the far left, non-journalists at The Hill sent out on Wednesday:

New York's New School Rules for Transgendered Kids Would Allow Boys to Play on Girls Sports Teams

New York's New School Rules for Transgendered Kids Would Allow Boys to Play on Girls Sports Teams
-By Warner Todd Huston
If things go as planned by advocates of the few so-called "transgendered" kids in the state of New York's school system, boys will be able to join girls sports teams if those boys are pretending to be girls (and vice versa).
The new rules would essentially make kids sports entirely meaningless at least as far as records and wins goes. The rules do so by upending the natural limits on physical abilities inherent in sports when you keep boys and girls segregated by gender.
Worse, the new rules won't even require the purportedly transgendered students to supply much by way of documentation to prove they are serious about being transgendered.
Advocates say that the whole state needs to be inconvenienced because there are maybe as many as 12 transgendered students in the whole state.
The new rules would also allow these kids to simply decide on their own which locker room they want to use.

German Judge Denies 12-Year-Old American Girl A Place With Her Father

German Judge Denies 12-Year-Old American Girl A Place With Her Father
-By Sid Sauer
Recently a 12-year-old American-German girl was denied her request that her dad be given 100% custody in a court case in Munich, Germany. In yet another incident of the "State" knowing best, Judge Barbara Stockinger of Munich's Oberlandesgericht, the highest court in Germany for family affairs, says the child doesn't really understand what "custody" means.
It all started when the girl wrote a letter to child social services asking for help, because her step-father was verbally abusing her. It was so bad, that her mother had to remove him from their shared home. It was not an isolated incident. But when child social services responded, circumstances were spun in a different direction and the girl's biological father was accused of psychologically pressuring his own daughter. Even though the daughter and father both, in separate interviews, stated otherwise. Then, child social services refused to release the child's statement.
Immediately following child social services involvement, the mother and step-father filed for a restraining order against the father, providing false testimony in their claims, and followed up with filing false criminal charges against him for verbally insulting them.
No allegations against the father have ever been substantiated. In fact, the Munich District Attorney dismissed all charges made by the child's step-father and her mother against the bio dad saying the charges were unfounded.

Wanted: A Real Man and a Father for Fathers Day (Happy Fathers Day 2015)
-By Warner Todd Huston
Help Wanted: A father is needed.
America a father is needed: He should be strong of will, stout of heart, and serious in demeanor. He must love without being effusive. He must lead by example. He must have a soft spot for his daughters and tough hand with his sons. He must love his wife and family more than his own comforts because he understands that the duties he accepts as a father are more important than momentary amusements.
We want a man that will growl when their sons step out of line, the kind young boys don't want to cross–not necessarily out of fear, but because they are loath to disappoint the old man. Give us a man who will happily show his gun collection to his daughter's first boy friend. Let us have the man who those boyfriends can't imagine calling anything other than "sir."
Unfortunately, he is exactly the sort of man that liberals have targeted for elimination. Liberals hate words like maturity, protectiveness, patriarchy, and manliness.
Liberals celebrate backwards ball cap wearing, video game playing, punks who still want to act like they are 19 when they are nearing the 30s. Perpetual little boys who just want to have toys, see movies, go to concerts and jump into bed with what ever sort of woman strikes their fancy, the sort of man child who won't think past a beer run planned for the weekend.
These are the kind of "men" that leave children alone with a woman struggling to survive. But they are just the kind liberals love because they leave human wreckage everywhere they go, people that big daddy government can rescue with big government programs and, naturally, more power for Democrats.
So, don't give us Obama Pajama Boys. Forget the left's meterosexuals. We'll take a pass on their "coexist" bumper stickers and their gutless Priuses.
We don't want your Brad Pitts, your moron Phil Dunphys, your drug addled Charlie Sheens or your pointless pretty boy Zac Efrons.
Give us Hugh Beaumont, Father Knows Best, let's have more like John Wayne and Robert Mitchum. Give us more Billy Grahams, please?
But whatever you do, give us real men who have a sense of morality. The country is in desperate need of them.

OUTRAGE: Teachers Union Caught Using Tax Dollars to Fund Tax Hike Campaign
-By Warner Todd Huston
This is one of my preeminent examples of why there should never, ever be such a thing as a union for a government employee–ANY government employee. A teachers union in Colorado has been caught red handed using tax money to fund a campaign to urge lawmakers to raise taxes.
This is the single best reason to be rid of government employee unions. The fact is, they are entirely un-democratic and blatantly un-American.
The story comes to us form ColoradoPeakPolitics, but it is a tale that could just as easily come from New York, Illinois, or any other state bedeviled with grasping, anti-American public employee unions.
Here is now the website explains what the teachers union is doing in the Jeffco public school system in Jefferson County, CO.

School Choice Finally on the Agenda in Illinois

School Choice Finally on the Agenda in Illinois
-By Warner Todd Huston
The move for school choice is not only growing in Illinois in general but in Chicago in particular as politicians and parents both see the downward spiral of the public education system picking up speed.
With the costs of public education soaring but neither the rates of graduation nor proficiency growing accordingly, parents are desperate to find a way for their children to gain a better education.
The state is pumping millions upon millions into the bottomless pit of education and taxes are edging higher every year to support the spending habit. As an example, Illinois school district U46 (west of Chicago in the Elgin area) has $600 million in bond debt and this is just one of the nearly 700 school districts in Illinois.
So, as the system founders, many experiments have blossomed. We all know that charter schools have grown rapidly in the Chicago area, but there are other schools such as Leo Catholic High School in Chicago's Auburn Gresham neighborhood that are serving as perfect examples of school choice. Leo is a prime example of a private high school that is a wildly successful example of education at its finest.
The school is not fully supported financially by the city's Catholic system but has since 1926 served students as an independent high school operating in what is now one of the city's most depressed neighborhoods. The school started back when Auburn Gresham was a heavily Irish-Catholic part of the city but now serves an entirely African American student body. (Edit to note: The Archdiocese of Chicago does support Leo and has provided over $2M in direct, financial operating support for the school between 2009 and 2015, but doesn't pay all the school's expenses as it does the schools it has direct control over.)
The school has been such a success that for the last six years 100% of its students have been accepted into a college or university and 96 percent have gone on to pursue higher education.

Islam Is The REAL War on Women: 92% of Women in Egypt Forced to Undergo Genital Mutilation

Islam Is The REAL War on Women: 92% of Women in Egypt Forced to Undergo Genital Mutilation
-By Warner Todd Huston
As putrid Democrats continue to promulgate their lie-filled "Republican war on women" campaign theme, they sit by ignoring that the real war on women is perpetrated by Islam. Another reminder of where the real hate for women emanates is in a survey showing that fully 92 percent of married women in Egypt are forced to undergo genital mutilation.
If you are unaware of what Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is, be prepared to be horrified. Euphemistically called "female circumcision" by liberals who want to obviate what it really is, it is in fact the utter destruction of the female pleasure centers in the vagina so that a woman can never gain pleasure or have an orgasm from sexual intercourse.
Many Muslims from Africa to the Middle East think that women are disgusting beasts who should not be allowed to enjoy sex. So, to keep girls pure in the eyes of The "Prophet" Muhammad, in their pre-teen stage, these inhuman Muslims rip out a girls' clitoris and sew herr vagina shut leaving but a small hole for urination.

Calling a 5-Yr-Old 'Transgender' Is Child Abuse
-By Warner Todd Huston
A school in Maine got in hot water last week for feeding 5,6,and 7 year olds a "lesson" on being transgendered. But can a 5-year-old even be a "transgendered" kid? No. And to impress on them to think so is child abuse.
Officials at a grade school in Kittery, Maine instituted a lesson plan for its Kindergartners and its first through third graders meant to train them on the subject of transgendered kids and to push the idea that being transgendered is perfectly normal. Naturally, many parents were furious at the scheme.

Kentucky Judges Gives Armed Robbers Light Sentence Saying Three-Year-Old White Victim is 'Racist'

Kentucky Judges Gives Armed Robbers Light Sentence Saying Three-Year-Old White Victim is 'Racist'
-By Warner Todd Huston
A black judge in Kentucky gave a home invader and armed robber a light sentence because he said he feels that the three-year-old white victim was a "racist" because in her victim statement the little girl said she is now afraid of black people after two black men broke into her home and threatened her with a gun.
In an outrageous statement from the bench, Louisville Judge Olu Stevens attacked the tiny white toddler and her parents for their "racism" calling the little girl's statement "disturbing" while at the same time excusing the actions of the criminals who traumatized her. That's right, this judge was more upset at a little girl for being scared by armed robbers than he was at the armed robbers.
At the sentencing trial of one of the robbers, a victim's impact statement written by the little girl's mother was entered into evidence. The statement read in part, "Whenever we are running errands, if we come across a black male, she holds me tight and begs me to leave. It has affected her friendships at school and our relationships with African-American friends."
Then the judge outrageously attacked the little girl saying her statement disgusted him…

NH Scholar Admits He Crafted State Common Core Standards to Attack White People

NH Scholar Admits He Crafted State Common Core Standards to Attack White People
-By Warner Todd Huston
A scholar in New Hampshire has admitted that he helped develop the state's Common Core testing standards in order to attack the "white privilege" of the state's white population. His goal was to knock white people down a few pegs in the Granite State.
Patricia L. Dickson reports that Dr. David Pook, a professor at Granite State College and chair of the history department the Derryfield School in Manchester, New Hampshire, admitted to an audience at an event at New Hampshire Institute of Politics that he had a goal that was far different than education when he helped write the state standards.
The reason why I helped write the standards and the reason why I am here today is that as a white male in society I am given a lot of privilege that I didn't earn[.]
Amusingly, Derryfield, the very school Prof Pook works for, feels that the standards are inferior and will not use them!
Regardless, this is yet another example of how our schools are used for extremist, left-wing social engineering instead of education. "Teachers" like Pook want to use our schools as a means to indoctrinate kids with anti-American, left-wing garbage. And don't be fooled. This guy may be one of the few who openly admits that Common Core is meant to undermine the US, but he isn't alone in that goal.
Sadly, these creeps are succeeding in undermining our system of education and aiding in tearing down the United States.

The Problem with Discounting the Traditional, Two-Parent Family
-By Warner Todd Huston
The left is all about destroying the traditional family and supplanting it with "families" of its own making. While non-traditional families aren't necessarily an "evil" that need to be eliminated, the destruction of the traditional family is an evil that needs to be stopped.
The problem with discouraging the traditional, two-parent family is that children born of a one parent family (or even living with no parents) are generally forced into asking for support from outside the family–whether it be from government or community–or going without any help at all.
In the case of the former it reinforces the expectation that others are required to give you a handout and in the latter it engenders despair, hatred, or anti-social behavior.
Both are bad for society and the nation.

Liberals Should Celebrate ISIS as Most Perfect Non-Profit Ever Begun
-By Warner Todd Huston
The left should be celebrating the ISIS terrorists as the perfect example of the sort of non-profit enterprise the virtues of which they constantly extol. In fact, led by the Obviator In Chief in Washington, since leftists are refusing to call ISIS what they are, maybe they are celebrating them after all?
Remember back in 2008 when Michelle Obama said that young people should not be so greedy as to get jobs in corporate America? Instead she instead America's youngsters should find work at a non-profit. At a speech in Zanesville, Ohio, Michelle urged young people to make the choice "to move out of the money-making industry into the helping industry," and darn it if ISIS didn't take up on her challenge.
President Obama even once called his job working for a company as "working for the enemy" because of all that icky money and profits.

Chicago So Corrupt Even 'Champion' Little League Baseball Team Found Cheating

Barack Obama's Chicago is the most corrupt city in all of America and the Jackie Robinson West Little League baseball team has now cemented that status by having its championship season vacated and its championship trophies stripped.

When the South Side team won the championship last year they became the toast of the Windy City. They came home to a hero's welcome with parades, big rallies, and meetings at City Hall. They even went to the White House to meet with the liar in chief, President Obama.
Even more amazing, the young team members themselves were given hundreds of thousands of dollars for their "future," donated by grateful citizens who wanted to make sure these young African American children had a rich future.

Feminist Criminal Decides to Abort Her Son Solely Because He is Male
-By Warner Todd Huston
A revelatory posting by a hate-filled, radical feminist calling herself "Lana" recently appeared on the extremist website called "Injustice Stories." The story ostensibly tells the tale of how "Lana" aborted her baby because she found out that the child was a boy. "Lana" says she killed her baby because she didn't want to bring another male "monster" into the world. And she is proud of her decision.
The posting detailing Lana's story on what led her to abort her baby is disgusting, certainly, but it does nicely describe the logical end game of feminism: the genocide of the male of the species.
The story appears on a site where "hatred is not allowed" but this is obviously a convenient lie because "Lana's" post is entirely based on abject hate for men. Of course, we know why the story was allowed. It's because "Lana" claims to be an oppressed female who is fighting "injustice" when in reality all she is, is a proto Nazi advocating a form of eugenics.
In any case, what we have here is the story of a mentally ill woman who murdered her baby for the sole reason that he is male. Sadly, her reasoning is poof that feminism has nothing at all to do with "equality" and ultimately simply breeds unthinking hatred for men.

Obama's New Food Czar Wants Gov't To Decide What You Are Allowed to Eat
-By Warner Todd Huston
Like all extreme socialists, Obama's new food czar thinks that government should completely control all aspects of food from its production and is dissemination, even to what is allowed to be advertised and what you are allowed to eat.
Recently the Obama's personal chef, Sam Kass, resigned his position and left the White House. Kass was not just a chef, though. He was also the White House's senior adviser for nutrition policy. On top of that he the director of Mrs. Obama's anti-childhood obesity campaign, "Let's Move."
So, Obama had several slots to fill at once with his new food czar. So, he and Michelle have picked one Debra Eschmeyer to take on the role of director of "Let's Move."
Eschmeyer, who founded the FoodCorps service program that was designed to teach school cafeteria workers about nutrition, calls herself a "food justice activist." She recently explained what she means by that title.
"I was an editor of [the book] Food Justice so I spent several years thinking about the definition," she said. "Food justice seeks to ensure that the benefits and risks of where, what, and how food is grown, produced, transported, distributed, accessed, and eaten are shared fairly."

Obama Helping to Ban Historical Reenactments of 1889 Land Rush in Oklahoma Because it's 'Racist'
-By Warner Todd Huston
Once again the far, far leftists that infest our schools are making to destroy the teaching of American history. This time it is in Oklahoma, home to the 1889 "Land Rush" that helped settle the great western region of the country. The un-American leftists that run Oklahoma's schools now want to excise the teaching of the Land Rush history in schools because it's "racist." And the Obama administration is also behind it.
The 1889 Land Rush is a key part of Oklahoma history and is one of the things it is most known for. If you are a little shaky on the history, in 1889 Oklahoma was still thought of as "Indian Territory" and few white settlements existed there. But in 1889 the government opened a few large sections of the soon-to-be state and after setting a day when those areas would be open for purchase, a race of sorts began to fill the territory with new settlers seeking land for homes, businesses and towns. It was quite a national spectacle at the time and is an important part of the state's history.

Back in May a father upset that his 14-year-old daughter was given a sexually explicit reading assignment at school was arrested for daring to confront the school board over the book. Now, the father's case has been dismissed by a judge who was shocked at the arrest and said it was a "chilling" example of the unconstitutional quashing of the father's right of free speech.
On May 6, parent William Baer attended a school board meeting in Gilford, New Hampshire where he expressed his unhappiness that his 14-year-old daughter was assigned the book "Nineteen Minutes," a book that contains sexually explicit and violent content.
In one part of the book, for example, a teenaged girl is raped by a drunken boy. The violence and the explicit nature of the passage made the father question the assignment.

Whiney Harvard #Ferguson Protesters Mad They Were Ignored By Primal Scream Streakers
-By Warner Todd Huston
I think this has to be the funniest recent story highlighting the foolishness on the campuses of our universities. On Thursday a group of "silent" protesters got in a war of words with naked-run "primal scream" participants at Harvard. The Ferguson protesters were upset that the primal screamers were ignoring them and refusing to join in with their "moment of silence" so they began to scold and whine to the primal screamers, all to no avail.
Firstly, the so-called primal scream run has become an annual event where naked and half naked students streak about the campus in a raucous display of frivolousness that passes for "fun" at Harvard. It is a wild event that has no sense of decorum or maturity.
This is the event that Ferguson protesters foolishly thought they could tame. This is the sort of craziness that Harvard's myriad of white folks protesting Ferguson thought they could interrupt with a moment of silence.

NPR-Celebrated Muslim Reporter in Ferguson Has Record as Child Molester
-By Warner Todd Huston
A new report shows that a man who has become celebrated by National Public Radio and others for his reporting during the recent unrest in Ferguson, Missouri also has a record as a child molester.
Mustafa Hussein is a Muslim convert and a volunteer reporter for ArgusNews, a Saint Louis-based activist website that has lately dedicated itself almost wholly to reporting on the Ferguson riots.
Hussein reportedly received 1.3 million views of his coverage in just one night earlier this year.

Crony Union Members Get Million Dollar Pensions for One Day of Teaching

Crony Union Members Get Million Dollar Pensions for One Day of Teaching
-By Warner Todd Huston
In another example of why government unions should all be eliminated, two union operatives in the Illinois school system have been the happy recipients of million-dollar pensions–courtesy of the taxpayers–for teaching classes for only a single day.
Back in 2011 I wrote of union operatives Steven Preckwinkle and David Piccioli at the Illinois teachers union who both "taught" only one day in the Illinois school system and then went on to be union operatives for the rest of their careers that were supposedly in "education." Yet despite their lack of actually educating anyone, both were still demanding to get huge, generous pensions for being "teachers."

Mother Upset Over Islam-Promoting School Assignment

Mother Upset Over Islam-Promoting School Assignment
-By Warner Todd Huston
The mother of a Michigan high school student was shocked to learn that her daughter was assigned a class project that was clearly deigned to promote Islam. Worse, it was a project meant to promote Islam to 3rd graders.
The Michigan parent found that her 10th-grade daughter was assigned the task of designing a brochure that could explain the wonders of Islam in terms that a 3rd grader could understand. The woman's daughter was told that the purpose of the brochure would be to "introduce Islam to 3rd graders."
This parent jumped to Facebook to tell her friends and family how shocked she was over the assignment. (Not long afterward she deleted her posts at the request of the school's principal.)
"This assignment upset me because they are presenting Allah as the same God of the Christians and Jews. This paper, in my opinion, is promoting Islam by describing Allah's names as 'beautiful'. To me this is not simply factual like it should be," Mother Jennette Hall said.

Obama Sent Illegals All Across The County, Forcing States to Pay for Schooling
-By Warner Todd Huston
President Obama secretly sent tens of thousands of illegals all across the country and into every state without bothering to inform governors that he was doing it and now the states are stuck footing the bill for healthcare and education.
On September 29, the AP reported that "Unaccompanied minors… have moved to communities of all sizes, in nearly every state."

Silly Parents Mad Everyone Uses Their Daughter's Name for ISIS Terrorists

Silly Parents Mad Everyone Uses Their Daughter's Name for ISIS Terrorists
-By Warner Todd Huston
A couple in Australia are demanding that people stop using their daughter's name as the label to identify the terrorist group ISIS. If this isn't the perfect story showing the idiocy, arrogance, and foolishness of some westerners, there isn't one.
Frank and Sheridan Leskien of Sydney, Australia are quite upset that people keep calling those darned ol' terrorists in Syria the ISIS group. Why, darn it, everyone just knows that Isis is their beautiful, 8-year-old daughter's name! So, all you big poopy heads better stop using their daughter's name for those stinky ol' terrorists. Or else!
These idiots actually appeared on Australian TV to whine about this coincidence as woeful as it is.
"This is hurting my little family and we've lost family because they're scared and don't want anything to do with us… it's soul-destroying," Frank recently said.
Right. So, everyone in the world has to stop using ISIS to denote this terror group because some suburban Sydney family happened to give their daughter the same name?

Coach 'Breaks The Law,' Suspended for Praying With Team

Coach 'Breaks The Law,' Suspended for Praying With Team
-By Warner Todd Huston
A coach for a prep school in Arizona has been suspended for praying with his team during last week's homecoming game. He was told it was "against the law."
Tom Brittain, the head varsity coach for Tempe Preparatory Academy–a state-funded charter school–found himself suspended after the "offensive" praying.
The coach was told to keep the praying off the field, but apparently he didn't feel disposed to have his constitutional right trod upon by school administrators.
His boss, headmaster David Baum told the media, "He is a man who likes to pray and I don't object to that. Just, he can't do that with our students. That's the only prohibition."
Then Baum claimed it was he, rather than the coach, who was trying to "protect" the Constitution.

NY School Bans National Guard T-Shirt Because: GUNS!

NY School Bans National Guard T-Shirt Because: GUNS!
-By Warner Todd Huston
A New York school took quick action to ban t-shirts being handed out by a New York National Guard recruiter because the shirt "promoted violence" since it had an drawing of a U.S. soldier in battledress on it. And, *gasp*, the drawing of the soldier was holding an evil, evil GUN!
Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk High School in Ravena, New York, said that the Guard recruiter's t-shirts were "inappropriate" and violated the school's dress code because of the gun image.
"They're not allowed to wear anything that would have a weapon on it," district Interim Superintendent Alan McCartney told the Times Union. "Our main purpose is education. Wearing pictures of weapons brings to mind those things in our society that are not pertinent to education."
So, even mentioning America's fighting forces is "not pertinent to education"? This man is an idiot who should be fired just because he is plainly too stupid to be in "education."

WalMart Can't Please Feminist Comic Book Fans

WalMart Can't Please Feminist Comic Book Fans
-By Warner Todd Huston
Here is a story that perfectly encapsulates the impossibility of satisfying a feminist showing that they care about being outrageously outraged than they do about curing any real ills. It concerns the uproar over the 3D printing kiosk that puts a child's face on a superhero toy–either Captain America of Iron Man. The chicks are mad that WalMart didn't include a female superhero. But…
A company named 3DPlussMe has crated a self-serve machine that will take a photo of a child's face and then, using plastic 3D printing technology, will create a toy figurine of either Captain America or Iron Man with that child's face on it.
The kiosks are being rolled out in select WalMarts across the country and they seem like a great idea for kids to get a personalized toy.
But female comics fans are mad that only two male comic book heroes are being offered. Why no female characters, they ask?

If i am allowed to "complain" - not a big fan of the mountains...not sure why exactly but the style is not pleasing to my eyes. But that's really a nitpick and a personal taste thing....the overall map looks very game-able!

The Poetry Section: Ana Bo├...┬Ši├ä┬Źevi├äŌĆĪ, "The Day Lady Gaga Died"
This week in The Poetry Section: two poems by Ana Bo├ģ┬Ši├ä┬Źevi├äŌĆĪ.
Rise in the Fall
It's spring in Manhattan, but everyone's wearing
summer dresses, through that bit of cold
that death. At the table next to mine, the young Brit and the witch
brainstorm about holding
enormous healings. At this point I'd settle for you
just trembling next to me. Don't you know how to do that anymore?
Do you know how unhappy one is
who wants a ghost for a horse
when told that only the living can marry the living?
This poem's boring. I dreamed some lesbian wrote a really good poem
called Pinko and
I woke up to a straight straight world.
Let's sit here in the caf├® for now. We'll rise up
next fall, when they can no longer deport me.
And at the end of our revolution… It's real hard to say what I'm seeing
I see, a planet?
the kind of green I can't even describe
I'm falling asleep. I see
They found me sleeping
on the tallest wave
blanket and all. They said my name and
down I wept-
next I stood on the sand and
the love pulled back
I could see the sea floor
all those hinges in the sand-grass
needed tongue-grease to work. I said Come back
and it came back in, like it forgave me
That's all. Pinko was not even that good but
I can still change everything
about it.
We can change everything.
The Day Lady Gaga Died
What is this day: is it like a rainbow
an abstract I kinda grasp, is it a house with the white streamers on it
how can I get at it.
Once I knew a girl called herself Beauty
and her leather accessories Beasts.
So can things be what I name them, is that the secret.
Once on a time in Osteuropa
a girl lived who went to the Contours Club:
she touched herself on a Slope among the Sunclouds™.
That all sounds vapid. Yeah, I touched myself. Kind of fat,
never thought I was a natural, a star,
I just didn't "get" the others. But you,
you don't want to hear that part, you just want me to keep having sex
among the politics.
Fuck you: all I want to write about is
bumblebees, bumblebees.
New York School is because
you have to name things in New York.
Otherwise, too much exists
Ana Bo├ģ┬Ši├ä┬Źevi├äŌĆĪ was born in Zagreb, Croatia in 1977. She emigrated to NYC in 1997. Her first book of poems is Stars of the Night Commute (Tarpaulin Sky Press, November 2009), a Lambda Literary Award finalist. Her fifth chapbook, Depth Hoar, will be published by Cinematheque Press in 2010. With Amy King, Ana co-curates The Stain of Poetry reading series in Brooklyn. She works at the Center for the Humanities of The Graduate Center, CUNY.

I love this game. It really illustrates the dangers of illness and disease, and how quickly the entire human race could be wiped out. Took me forever to complete it, but I finally did so with about 150 days remaining and a final score of 6725.
For those who can't infect west europe, you need to focus all the points you earn on the Transmission/Infectivity section. Keep your visiblity low, and try to buy everything in the above mentioned section before the countries shut down public transit. If they do, don't worry, it's still possible. After you've infected west europe, then start buying stuff from the symptoms column.
Hope that helps.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
At first I really disliked this game.
But now I love it. Once I figured out how to infect everyone without them shutting down their country. I think, if more time and some hardcore detail went into this game, it would the best! But, either way, its a really good game!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Sweet game
I just can never infect the entire world, I've gotten every country except Western Europe
Rated 5 / 5 stars
So Wonderfully Evil
Great game, fun, once you figure it out it's pretty easy, but I still love the idea of being a virus out to destroy humanity.
For the people who are having trouble getting into Western Europe, it's simple make your virus's leathality weaker or even go all the way down to 0 (make sure you keep Infectability on 1 at least at all times) and then build up your infectability. If people aren't dieing due to the disease Public Transit and Borders will stay on and open even if every person in every country is infected.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I cant get into west europe...
If you, the player, can get all of Europe infected, I think public transit can carry the virus. Someone said that Even though they did not have airborne for transmission, but he could infect through planes, Airborne means through the air itself. The planes carry infected people, and once the infected get to an uninfected country, THEN the airborne comes into effect. I like this game. Put an airport in west europe, though. Public .transit cant get me in fast enough even with super low visibility
