Manchester Mythbusters
by Andy Hayes. Posted Oct 21st 2010 04:29 PM
Continue ReadingManchester has plenty of myths, and most of them are not very inviting. There's the myth about how unsafe the city is, and how many shooting deaths occur here (less than you hear). And then there are the myths about deaths due to overconsumption of alcohol and alcohol poisoning – again, a problem, but not as big as one would think. But some of Manchester's most interesting stories are the tales that nobody talks about. Manchester mythbusters, let's delve into some of the secret aspects of Manchester history.

|2009 experiences wild weather
|Written by Chris Lee
Some of the wettest months in recent years were experienced by residents of Phillips County this past year as large amounts of rain and snow covered the area.
One example many remember was the night of June 1 when nearly 3.5 inches of rain fell within a 12-hour window. It was reported six inches fell about 12 miles south of Holyoke as a result of that same storm.
The skies turned black around 7 p.m. and by 7 a.m. the next morning, things were soaked with large amounts of rain.
2009 brought just over 40 inches of snow and a day when the mercury fell to minus 17 degrees. Another unusual twist to the 2009 weather pattern was the thermometer never hit triple digits. The hottest day recorded by National Weather Service official weather observer Dan Kafka was Aug. 3 when the high was 98 degrees.
Kafka reported daily highs and lows, as well as precipitation and snowfall for the area.
The 40 inches of snow was 18 more than a year ago and 14 more than 2007.
Just under 13 inches of snow had already fallen during the first three months of the year.
January began the unusual pattern when a low of minus 2 was recorded on Jan. 28. Five days earlier a monthly high of 69 was recorded.
February followed that same pattern when just three days apart, a high of 70 and low of 5 were recorded.
Moisture was no stranger to the area as 27.15 inches of precipitation was recorded in 2009. That amount was nearly eight inches more than both 2007 and 2008 which saw just over 19 inches of moisture.
Summer temperatures continued to be cool as the average monthly high never climbed over 84 degrees. July 2008 registered a monthly average high of 92. The 2009 yearly average high was 62 while the low was 34.
Crops take hit from summer storms
Wheat farmers were loving the cooler temperatures and rainfall during the early summer months but on the night of Thursday, June 18, area farmers watched as a hail storm nailed cropland.
Around 10:30 p.m. on that Thursday night, a storm rolled into the area and destroyed nearly 3,000 acres of wheat out of the 104,000 planted acres. Another 60,000 acres were damaged for a production loss of 1,206,000 bushel or $5,788,800. More severe storms followed further hurting farmers.
June proved to be the wettest month with just under seven inches of rain falling.
Early snowfall leads to cold winter
Friday, Oct. 10 marked the first snowstorm of the fall as three inches of the white stuff fell. More storms hit the area throughout the winter months with some cancelling school, sporting events and making driving conditions poor.
Almost 14 inches of snow fell in October. The early snowfall began a push that would stall corn harvest until late November.
October snowfall for both 2007 and 2008 totaled just over an inch.

Public school systems across the state have been instructed to inspect every bus in their fleet, after a fire on a school bus earlier this month.
A bus driver in Charlotte acted quickly to get all the children safely off a burning bus on February 8. State officials say the fire started because of a worn out wire covering, that may have caused a short, and then the fire.
"We were very fortunate that the incident earlier this month did not result in any injuries to students or the bus driver," said NCDPI School Transportation Services Section Chief Derek Graham. "In that situation, only six students were on the bus, and the school bus driver reacted quickly and evacuated all students well before flames entered the passenger area. Now that we have more information about the likely cause of this fire, we want to use this information to be more diligent in preventing any other incidents."
Now school systems have been directed to check the intake heater wires on all buses to make sure fires like that one don't happen again.
In North Carolina, approximately 13,700 school buses transport public school students to school, according to the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction.

This team shows absolutely no improvement! We need to fire him now!!!!!
If we blow this game someone might burn his house down.
Don't freaking jinx it.
So we beat a mid range C-USA team and suddenly we're back? Seems about right for this board.
LOL...ok win, but still should have beaten SDSU and Hawaii.
I disagree, I think any win is good for this team. Good job Cyclones!
Scott L., Yokosuka, Japan
ISU was 14 point dogs and they win. That is pretty impressive - need to continue the offensive play though.
Damn.... I can't believe we lost that game... Fire all the coaches. lets start all over... We will never win again. The sky is falling. Brick killed a guy.. Cats and Dogs sleeping together... Mass histeria.
forgot to add jimbob...
Craig Brackins' play will determine if we win or lose games.
We can make all of the 3s we want and still lose (see Drake) but when Brackins gets rolling, we win. It's that simple.
Good win for the team. Gives me hope for the rest of the season.
ISU> Phi Slamma Jamma
Posting this after a win? Good thing you enjoy being an ISU fan so much. Houston was 7-1 going in and 14 point favorites and we won. They haven't played great competition but they are by no means a bad team. Try cheering for the Clones once instead of looking for reasons to be a nega ****, you might like it. And if you don't, there are hundreds of other teams I'm sure would love your support.
Well we need to hire someone to teach these kids defense. How about we just let them spot up at the top of the key at the end of the game.
This team can't guard an athletic backcourt. Unfortunately that doesn't bode well for us in conference play.
This was a fun game!
Kansas Must Be Destroyed
Sic Semper Jayhawks
Why do we have the shortest guy on the team and our best free thrower throwing the ball in?

Lets start a debate people might actually have different opinions on.
Should their be a 2 term limit on the presidency?
Teddy Roosevelt would've enjoyed the limit. He kept getting coaxed into a third term.
what? no they are distant cousins...
fun fact Elenore's last name was also Roosevelt, and she was cousins of Teddy (don't worry the 2 lines separated in the late 1600s)
On their wedding day Teddy said to FDR, "Good job at keeping the name in the family."
I am fine with man terms, if a president is bad, we vote them out, I really don't see the issue. Having more than 2 terms allows a president to put his full plan into action to.
i dont like term limits
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
I'm currently watching Bill Clinton's latest speech.
I really wish the two term limit didn't apply, I wish I could vote him back into office because he is on a roll
my opinion is that term limits are a good thing unless Jesus Christ is president in which case you should throw out the constitution
Bill Clinton: "I hate Republican economic policies"
Bill Clinton greatly expanded most Republican economic policies and failed to get any sort of universal health coverage
term limits seem like a way to keep someone from changing things too much, and are thus inherently CONSERVATIVE. thus NOT GOOD.
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.

"The Buzz" Continued...
Tehran crackdown
Caught in a wave of "anti-government activist" show trials in Iran are two women arrested by Iranian security forces in March for activities related to their Christian faith. Authorities have held Marzieh Amirizadeh Esmaeilabad, 30, and Maryam Rustampoor, 27, in the infamous Evin Prison with bail set at $400,000. Tehran's Revolutionary Court brought the pair, who are Muslim converts, to trial Aug. 9 and informed them they would be charged with apostasy unless they renounce their faith. "We will not deny our faith," they told the prosecutor, according to a report from East-West Ministries. They have been sent back to prison, the group said, where both have been sick and have lost weight.
Iran put on trial about 100 reformists on Aug. 8 in an ongoing effort to stifle the protest movement following the June election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The trial included French citizen Clotilde Reiss, 24, and two Iranians employed by the British and French embassies. All three "confessed" to spying and aiding a Western plot to overthrow the government and apologized for their involvement in the unrest. Meanwhile, U.S. hikers Shane Bauer, 27, Sarah Shourd, 30, and Josh Fattal, 27, have been moved to a Tehran prison where they remain in custody after authorities arrested them July 31 for reportedly straying into Iran while hiking along the poorly marked Iran-Iraq border.
Fan fair
St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa says slugger Albert Pujols is "a complete player and person." The verbal love came after Pujols, a perennial all-star, was first on the scene when a fan fell face-first from the stands trying to snag a foul ball during an Aug. 7 game in Pittsburgh. Hurt in the fall, the man, who was reportedly trying to secure a baseball for his Down syndrome son, was urged by the star first baseman to stay down and wait for medical attention. According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the man suffered cuts and hurt his nose in the fall, but managed to strike up a conversation with Pujols: "This is not the way I wanted to meet you," the man said.
Wanted dead or alive
A newly appointed spokesman of the Pakistan Taliban confirmed the death of Taliban commander Baitullah Mehsud and announced a 15-day mourning period. Pakistani authorities first reported the leader of the Taliban's Pakistan forces killed in an Aug. 5 attack by U.S. drones. Mehsud, who was believed to be behind the 2007 attacks on Islamabad's Red Mosque, leaves the largest Taliban faction in Pakistan leaderless, and infighting among his adherents has spread, with approximately 90 Taliban killed in attacks Aug. 13.
In Indonesia police thought they also had killed a top terrorist mastermind. But the Islamic militant was not Noordin Mohammad Top and he is still at large, police said Aug. 13, announcing that the manhunt continues for the militant believed to have planned the suicide bombings at two luxury hotels in Jakarta last month.
Indebted nation
Early this month the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 43 percent from the 12-year low hit in March to finish Aug. 7 at 9370.07, its highest close since last November. But investment experts warn that the five-month surge could represent more wishful thinking than actual economic recovery. The reason? Debt. Total household indebtedness peaked in 2007 at 132 percent of disposable income; now, with a slight boost in family savings and debt repayment it has fallen to 124 percent-heading the right way, says The Wall Street Journal, but nowhere near the 69 percent level, for instance, where it stood coming off recession in the 1980s.
Morakot mud
Typhoon Morakot, which dumped 83 inches of rain on parts of Taiwan before moving on to mainland China, has claimed dozens of lives from flooding and massive mud slides and displaced more than 1 million people. Hundreds more residents from small, isolated farming villages remain missing. Initial reports estimate farm-related losses in Taiwan alone at $275 million.
Yet many stories of mercy emerged from some of the hardest-hit portions of Asia. Rescue crews discovered scores of surviving villagers initially thought lost in seas of mud and rock. Many scrambled to higher ground even as the rushing rivers of liquefied earth engulfed their homes. Chinese officials have confirmed just six deaths, despite devastating property damage. Aid workers are distributing food, clean water, and supplies, often by helicopter, to remote areas cut off from ground access due to destroyed bridges and roads. World Vision Taiwan is seeking to raise $750,000 for relief efforts.
Volt jolt
When Chevrolet touts itself as an American Revolution, this may be what the embattled car line is talking about. GM CEO Fritz Henderson claims that its November 2010 offering, the Chevrolet Volt, could earn a 230 miles per gallon city rating under Environmental Protection Agency guidelines. The eye-popping figure has a lot to do both with how the EPA calculates fuel efficiency and how the gasoline-electric engine on board the Volt operates. Unlike hybrid rivals like the Toyota Prius (51 mpg) or Honda Insight (41 mpg) that use batteries to assist the gas-powered engine, the Volt will be an electric car with a gas-powered generator that kicks in after 40 miles. And while power from the grid may be only a fraction of the cost of gasoline, don't expect the Volt to come cheap. GM expects the first models to be priced near $40,000.
Russian crimes
Three men previously acquitted of involvement in the 2006 shooting death of journalist Anna Politkovskaya are facing a retrial after a Moscow court refused to halt the proceedings and open a new probe. In a letter published in Novaya Gazeta, Politkovskaya's former paper, her children write that the retrial is "a farce whose goal is to distract the public's attention from the main question: 'Who ordered the murder?'" They allege that the Russian government is "covering up for the real killers."
The controversy follows the abduction and murder last month of outspoken human-rights activist Natalya Estemirova, 50. Her execution-style death coincided with the release of a Human Rights Watch report she helped research that called for Russian officials, including Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, to be held accountable for crimes in Chechnya.
On Aug. 10 activists Zarema Sadulayeva and her husband, Alik Dzhabrailov, were abducted by five gunmen from the Save the Generation office and later found shot to death in the trunk of their car. The charity works with children affected by the violence of war-torn Chechnya.
Family-based poverty fighting
New York is buying homeless families one-way tickets out of the city. Since it costs $36,000 to house a homeless family for one year in New York, city fathers are paying transportation costs of over 550 homeless families, sending them where they want to go and where they have a relative who can take them in.
Mayor Mike Bloomberg said the program "saves the taxpayers of New York City an enormous amount of money."Florida mayor Richard T. Crotty wrote Bloomberg and said he didn't appreciate the influx of homeless from other states: "All this does is shift someone else's budget problems onto our already cash-strapped shoulders."
But Ed Morgan, president of the Bowery Mission, one of New York's oldest homeless shelters, said reuniting families is a worthy goal. Ethnic Dominicans and Asians, for example, have less of a homelessness problem because families take care of their own, he said. While his program works on making homeless men become self-sufficient in New York City, one of its goals is to connect them with families: "You can be cynical and say [Bloomberg's] just solving his problem by shipping them out, but if it's family-connected that's something different. I support that. I really do."
UN and U.S. first
The U.S. delegation to the UN signed on to the first binding UN treaty to include the phrase "sexual and reproductive health." While the UN has never officially defined the phrase to include abortion, in debates the phrase has been a buzzword for "abortion," and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said it may include abortion. The treaty, adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2006, condemns discrimination against the disabled and affirms their rights to life, accessibility, and full participation in society. It also requires states to provide the disabled with equal healthcare, "including in the area of sexual and reproductive health and population-based public health programs." The Bush administration refused to support the treaty, saying it would weaken the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The not freed
While North Korea's state media has hailed the pardon and release of U.S. journalists Euna Lee and Laura Ling as a sign of the country's "humanitarian and peace-loving policy," tens of thousands of political and religious prisoners continue to languish in the country's gulags.
According to South Korean human-rights activists, North Korean authorities executed Ri Hyon Ok, 33, for distributing Bibles in June. The Investigative Commission on Crime Against Humanity reports that the day after Ri's public execution, her parents, husband, and three children were sent to a prison camp, a tactic the regime frequently uses to eradicate the "traitor's" bad influence. Meanwhile, the fate of another Christian woman, Seo Kum Ok, 30, is unknown after North Korean authorities arrested and tortured her on spying charges. Her husband also has been arrested and their two children have disappeared.
Man knows not his time
W. Jack Williamson, attorney, churchman, and long-time chairman of the board of the company that publishes WORLD magazine, died Aug. 8 in Greenville, Ala., at the age of 90. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Alabama and of the law school there, Williamson established a small-town law practice with an international reach. A military pilot in World War II, he was shot down over Austria and was held by Russians for six months as a prisoner of war. As an elder in his local church, he became a leader in the movement in the 1960s and '70s to leave the mainline Presbyterian denomination in the South and to form the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). He was the moderator of the PCA's first General Assembly; as chairman of the PCA's foreign missions committee, he regularly visited the Far East and other fields.
Williamson was a leader on the board of the Presbyterian Journal, an independent magazine founded in 1942 by L. Nelson Bell. Publication of that magazine gave way in 1986-7 to the launch of WORLD magazine, whose board he chaired for most of the next decade. An enthusiastic backer of Christian worldview thinking, he told the story of sitting in late 1973 in the front seat of his car with Francis Schaeffer, discussing the crisis in the church and the devolving state of American culture. "Why did you let this happen?" Schaeffer asked Williamson. "What do you mean, why did we let it happen?" Williamson asked. "You're a lawyer, aren't you?" Schaeffer replied pointedly. "Why did your profession let things get away so badly?"
"He wasn't just blaming the legal profession," Williamson stressed. "He was saying that each of us Christians has a responsibility, not just in our church relationships, but in the specific context of our various vocations, to define issues in a God-centered manner. I was never the same after hearing him say that."

9th Forum on Global Issues Compact at the Federal Foreign Office, 1 March 2012: The humanitarian dilemma – the neutrality of humanitarian assistance in conflicts
International humanitarian law enshrines the principles of compassion, impartiality, neutrality and independence as the foundation of humanitarian assistance. These pillars first became a formal part of the European Union's legal system with the European Consensus on Humanitarian Aid (2007) and the Treaty of Lisbon (2009), which introduced a clear normative framework for state and non-state entities alike. However, the complex conflict situations with which humanitarian actors are increasingly confronted nowadays mean that these principles are frequently challenged in practice.

Upholding the humanitarian principles is not a theoretical issue, nor is it something that can be subject to opportunism. The essential thing is to ensure that humanitarian missions enjoy credibility and acceptance, and thus access and safety, among the parties to a conflict and the people affected by it. However, in practice, especially in complex situations, there are often limitations and contradictions in the way. The space for humanitarian action is shrinking, for example, as aid organizations are attacked or have restrictions placed on them, and new ideas in security policy have governments attaching humanitarian aid to political or military interests. Aid organizations themselves are also contributing to this trend, by calling for political or military protection or tying their humanitarian mandates to promotion of their own political convictions.
In conjunction with Caritas Germany's International Department, the German Red Cross and Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe, the Federal Foreign Office is hosting a discussion on how and to what extent the neutrality, impartiality and independence of humanitarian aid can and ought to be upheld.

Randy Goddard and David Mair from the Open Audio team talk with Alex Evans and Travis Grandpre about what GroupWise 8 can do for new customers.
Join us to learn how easy it is to upgrade to GroupWise 2014, and how the switch can benefit you with more responsive, adaptable email.
Short video on Underwriters use of Groupwise.
GroupWise 2014 offers users flexible, dynamic email and calendaring that work the way they want to work. It also supports the platforms and devices admins need.
When a non-profit private university looked into so-called "free," cloud-based e-mail solutions as alternatives to GroupWise, the spreadsheet analysis was surprising. After doing the math, GroupWise came out on top in several categories. As Director of Information Technology for Millikin University, Pat Pettit is always looking for cost-efficient ways to improve IT services. When she installed GroupWise in 1996, it was because of the innovative features it included (for no additional cost), plus its low administrative burden and high scalability—ideal for a university environment. That's why, 16 years ago, Millikin became one of the first universities to offer e-mail as a standard application to everyone—faculty, staff and even students. Today, Millikin University offers an "e-mail address for life" at no cost to current students and alumni.
GroupWise 2014 takes one of the most reliable and secure email and collaboration solutions and updates it for today's communication challenges. The mobile and flexible GroupWise 2014 peacefully coexists with Active Directory and other email systems while helping your organization communicate with confidence, no matter where your people work. For more information visit us at www.novell.com/groupwise
Find out how we're releasing Web templates for Android and Playbook tablets—as well as a number of customer-requested quality and performance enhancements—in this important milestone for the GroupWise product line. You'll also find out how our Mac client update signals a renewed commitment to the growing contingent of Mac users in our customer organizations. Finally, you'll hear compelling data from our partner BrainStorm about the value of end-user training in realizing the full value of your GroupWise investment.
Watch this short video to hear President, Bob Flynn, talk about why now is a great time to do business with us.
GroupWise and Vibe go together, as a famous Gump once said, like peas and carrots. Let Dan Christensen show you the new integrations that bring the richness of your Vibe workspaces right into the GroupWise interface. One place; everything you need.
Ever scheduled an appointment and then thought, "Doh! Forgot to cc: my boss...or attach the agenda," worry no more.

The objective of the Community Benefit program at Hartford HealthCare
and Hartford Hospital is to ensure a strategic approach to community
benefit planning, implementation and evaluation through system-wide
oversight and guidance in assessing community health needs to improve
the health of the individuals and communities it serves and to enhance
health access regardless of ability to pay.
Community benefits are programs or activities that provide treatment
or promote health and healing as a response to identified community
needs in such a way as to improve residents' access to health care
services, enhance the health of the community, advance medical or health
knowledge, or relieve/reduce the burden on government or other
community efforts. Hartford Hospital's community benefits include education, charity
care, subsidized health services, community health improvement
activities and more.
In this report you'll read about some of the ways we live out our values in the community of which we have been an integral part— for more than 150 years. With those values in mind, we reach out to do what is right; to protect people from illness, injury or detrimental environments; to provide the care even the most vulnerable among us deserve; and to offer the very best of ourselves in everything we do.
Just as our values are woven into our work in the community, our involvement in the community is woven into our identity as a hospital. Contributing to the health and well-being of our neighbors isn't just something we do; it's who we are. Hartford Hospital and its efforts to benefit the community are as inextricably linked today as they have been since the community created this hospital in 1854.
In 2013 Hartford Hospital invested over $118 million in community benefit activities. We are proud of that figure, of course, but more than that, we are gratified to have had the opportunity again to make tangible, positive differences in the lives of thousands of our neighbors.

My Yahoo calendar was working fine in Zimbra (v7.1.2 on Win7x64) this AM as it has been for years, but while away from my desktop it just disappeared w/o any errors at all! The listing for that Yahoo account shows up in the left-hand pane/collapsible calendar tree, but no actual calendars, just the Trash folder. My calendar in Yahoo online was fine, as was my Yahoo "Manage App and Website Connections" permission for Zimbra CalDAV.
Here's what little I could find in the zdesktop.log

Multiple changes to my account Setup unchecking and rechecking Synchronize all calendars had no effect. Removing the above Zimbra CalDAV for it to reestablish had no effect, and that permission didn't show up again. Resetting that account in Setup had no effect (though as per another thread it did create a problem w/contacts). My Yahoo calendar is not showing up in Zimbra anymore.
(BTW, I was able to include and remove the calendar for another Yahoo account of mine.)


text: I have the Imaka da bull crazy cow call and it sounds ok, I like the sound of the hyperlip alot better, it just sounds more nasally to me! But I also like to carry a variety of cow calls, because a bull may not answer one call but may hammer another for some reason. I think as long as you can work the call right and make it sound good you will be alright.

Jelena Jankovic followed her Serbian sister, Ana, and updated her blog after leaving Beijing.
The oft-injured baller, who suffered a calf strain in practice during the Games, is still in Serbia getting treatment but will be traveling to New York tomorrow for the US Open.
And when she arrives on court in Flushing Meadows, the fashion-loving Serb will be debuting some new duds and gear for the Slam:
I am looking for to promoting my new Reebok dress. I really like how it fits and I hope you do too. I also have anew Prince bag that I will be taking with me on court so, now that I look good, I better play well too! :)))) Apparently she was inspired by the supposed great reaction she received for her Beijing dress:
I am proud that the dress that I was wearing and helped design was getting so many compliments! So the sexed-up Swiss milkmaid look was her idea??? OMG - that so doesn't bode well for her new duds. I can't wait!

Bronx, NY (Sports Network) - Chaz Williams tallied 22 points, seven assists,
and six rebounds as the Massachusetts Minutemen held off a late comeback
attempt by the Fordham Rams to win, 77-73, in an Atlantic 10 Conference bout
at Rose Hill Gym.
Terrell Vinson added 19 points for UMass (11-4, 1-1 A-10), which has won eight
of its last nine games. Trey Davis scored 12 points off the bench, Freddie
Riley netted 11 points, and Cady Lalanne grabbed 11 rebounds.
For Fordham (5-12, 1-1), Branden Frazier scored 21 points, and Chris Gaston
recorded 20 points, 13 rebounds, and five blocks. Mandell Thomas put up 10
points and Ryan Canty ripped down 13 rebounds for the Rams, who have
alternated losses with wins in each of their past nine contests.
UMass made good on 44.1 percent of its field goal attempts in the first half
while holding Fordham to just 26.8 percent shooting, which allowed the
Minutemen to take a 40-26 lead into intermission.
The Minutemen led by 11, 58-47, with nine and a half minutes to play in the
game, but Fordham would not go away quietly. The Rams ran off a 20-11 run to
bring their deficit to just two with 1:04 remaining, but Riley drained a 3-
pointer with 34 second left as UMass went back up by five. It sealed its
fate by going 5-of-6 from the free-throw line down the stretch.
Fordham lost despite dominating the rebounding battle, 55-42.

'Cliff' Resolution A Very Bad Deal
January 3, 2013
Seeming a bit surprised at the extent of their victory, a few liberal members of Congress were candid enough to admit the American people were shortchanged on New Year's Day....
The extremist repub party holds a gun to the head of America and threatens to destroy the economy. The extremist repubs are the new Taliban threatening world wide economic destruction unless they get their way. Lets see the extremists tell America what they want to cut since they are he'll bent on cuts cuts cuts. There will be no proposals to cut the huge corporate welfare system loaded with billions and billions of taxpayer subsidies. Watch the extremists. They will ONLY go after senior citizens and the poor. Just watch!

Hoopie, This administrations fiscal policies have already hurt senior citizens and the poor. Holding interest rates artificially low is a great boon to big banks but robs seniors of interest income that they've their entire lives to accumulate. Debasing the dollar by "printing" trillions and giving it to big banks for free has robbed all Americans of their purchasing power for items like fuel, wheat, corn etc. The poor are hurt by this the most.
It's truly sad that trying to help seniors and the poor is now viewed as extremist. What's extreme (and obscene)is handing the biggest financial institutions trillions of $ to continue financing big govt spending!

From Terri's kitchen
6 hard-cooked eggs
2 Tblsp. Miracle Whip
2 tsp. Western Dressing
1 tsp. prepared mustard
1 tsp. finely minced onion
Paprika or parsley (optional)
Carefully peel eggs and slice each in half lengthwise; remove yolks.
Arrange whites on a platter.
In a small bowl, mash yolks with a fork. Add Miracle Whip, mustard, onion, and dressing. Stir until smooth. Salt and pepper to taste, sometimes I add a pinch of sugar.
Spoon or pipe into egg whites. Sprinkle with paprika or parsley if desired.
Refrigerate until serving.
Terri Notes:
~ Western Dressing! It's the secret ingredient in my potato salad and egg salad too. Perfect seasoning and just a hint of color.
~ For perfect eggs every time, place eggs in a single layer in a heavy bottomed sauce pan.
Cover with water and heat until eggs just come to a boil. Turn off heat, cover pan and let eggs sit for 20 minutes. Drain, cool and refrigerate.
Updated April 1 (no fooling!) - added onion.

Cesarean Section: Myth versus Reality
Out of concern for rising cesarean rates and reduced access to vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC), Childbirth Connection carried out a systematic review of several hundred studies that compared harms of cesarean and vaginal birth. The evidence is clear: unless there is a compelling and well-supported reason for cesarean section, vaginal birth is the safest way for women to give birth and babies to be born. (See links below to learn more about review results.)
MYTH: The belief that cesarean section is safe.REALITY: Vaginal birth is far safer overall for mothers and babies. Although cesarean section is safer now than in the past, it is major abdominal surgery and poses many extra risks for mothers and babies in comparison with vaginal birth.
MYTH: The belief that planned ("elective") cesarean is an optimal solution for mothers and babies.REALITY: Although planned cesarean is very convenient for busy hospitals and caregivers, vaginal birth is far safer overall for mothers and babies.
MYTH: The belief that vaginal birth is harmful for mothers and babies.REALITY: Vaginal birth is far safer overall for mothers and babies than cesarean section. Some common overused obstetric practices, such as making a cut to enlarge the vagina (episiotomy) or forceful staff-directed pushing, can harm women and should be avoided.
MYTH: The belief that a healthy woman who has a cesarean will avoid incontinence later in lifeREALITY: Current research suggests that this will have no effect on later-life incontinence. Having an unneeded cesarean poses plenty of risks and no clear benefits. Women who wish to avoid or limit incontinence would be wise to take other steps, such as maintaining a healthy body weight, avoiding or quitting smoking, avoiding or quitting hormone therapy, and carrying out a rigorous program of pelvic floor muscle exercises ("Kegels").
What is important for pregnant women to consider?Women need full and accurate information well before labor about what is at stake in decisions about how to give birth. To learn about more about Childbirth Connection's review, see
"Practice style" (and propensity to use maternity interventions) varies widely among providers and birth settings. Choosing a maternity caregiver and place of birth are two of the most important decisions that will influence the care a woman receives.

Good list... I'd go with this.
#2b-Scott Christopherson drains a deep three to put ISU ahead of Baylor for good.
I was hoping hard for a video highlight reel.
McGee's block and breakaway dunk (the one he got T'ed up on) is right up there too.
Looking back, this was a very exciting season with a lot of HUGE plays.
When Prepared, Fear No One.
White's full court laser to Ejim in Big12 tourney.

That was an awesome pass and dunk! Honorable mention for sure!
I think you should switch #6 with #4a/b.
The last missouri game had some good White moments
Time to start posting the highlights so someone can make one video.
McGee's and one against Kansas where he hung in the air and shot it on the way down. Big play at the time, and very impressive.

Red Green returns with one-man show
Red Green's Wit and Wisdom Tour
WHERE: Clay Center
WHEN: 7 p.m. Monday
INFO: 304-561-3570 or www.theclaycenter.orgCHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Six years ago, after 300 episodes of "The Red Green Show," Steve Smith, the guy who created the eponymous, irascible handyman, decided to call it a day. After 15 years of playing Red on Canadian and Public Television, the 65-year-old retired.
Smith, who returns to Charleston as Red Green for the Wit and Wisdom tour, said, "Yeah, I hung it up, went to Florida and played 162 rounds of golf in 180 days."
One of those rounds of golf was with the head of book publisher Random House. Smith said he was made an offer he could scarcely turn down.
"He said if I wanted to write anything as Red Green, they'd publish it."
Smith had already written a couple of books, including "Red Green's Duct Tape is Not Enough: A Humorous Guide to Midlife" and "We're All In This Together," his biography.
Writing those books, however, was more of a chore.
"I was always writing when I was doing the show, and it was a lot of work," he said. "But [now] I wasn't doing anything and it sounded like fun.
"Plus I thought if I said no, he'll never ask again!"
The first book he wrote post-Red Green was "How To Do Everything: (From The Man Who Should Know)." Smith called the book "pretty successful," but said part of the business of getting the book published meant he had to go out and promote it.
Usually, he said, authors are asked to make public appearances and sign copies of the book. Smith opted to take the book out on tour with him as part of a one-man show.
Things just snowballed from there, and Smith was back in the Red Green business.
"It was a little like sticking your toe in the water," he said. "The next thing you know, you're up to your neck."
Of course, this is not quite the full show. It's just Smith on stage, delivering a monologue and telling stories.
He explained, "It's more like a one-sided conversation, which is always my favorite conversation."
The character of Red Green actually goes back much farther than the 15 years Smith played him on Public Television. He was created as a kind of parody of another television personality, Canadian fishing show host Red Fisher.
"He did a straight out fishing show, nothing funny about it, and Red had the attitude that nothing could bore you. He'd do a fishing show, not catch any fish and air it. He looked at it like it was his job was to fill the half hour. Your job was to make it entertaining."
Smith took the unflappable attitude and gruff personality and fashioned Red Green, a character who first appeared on "Smith and Smith," a sketch comedy show he did in the early 1980s with his wife, Morag Smith.
"I'd do these two minute bits," he said. "But it just clicked."
Fisher eventually became aware of Smith's comedy bit. A radio morning show in London, Ontario, arranged for the two to meet on the air.
Smith said they were supposed to go on the air at 9 a.m., but after a couple of minutes, Fisher still hadn't called in. They waited, and then went to a commercial break while the radio show host phoned Fisher.
"And he got him!" Smith exclaimed.
Smith said the host asked Fisher, "Hey, aren't you supposed to be on the radio?"
Fisher replied, "Yeah, but I've been on the road and really needed to do my laundry."
Smith laughed and said Fisher was an original.
He said he had no regrets about the end of the Red Green show. He'd originally planned on retiring the character, but he's pleased to have found something different for him to do with Red.
Since 2010, Smith has done more than 130 of these one-man shows. His show Monday at the Clay Center will be one of the last as Red Green -- at least with this material.
"This particular version ends November 9. After that, I'm going to put it all away, and I won't say any of those words ever again."
After that, he's got to finish up his next Red Green book, which he's calling, "A Beginner's Guide To Women."
"Chances are this may lead to a lawsuit or a tour -- or both," he said.

UPDATED 8.8.2012 by Julie Montanaro
A former FAMU High football star serving a life sentence for child molestation will not stand trial a second time.
Ralph Monroe was recently convicted of sexually molesting an eight year old boy in a school bathroom. Monroe was given a mandatory life sentence for it.
The prosecutor decided this week to drop a second case against Monroe.
The victim of that assault attempt testified during the first trial.
The prosecutor says he did not want to make the young boy testify again.
Tallahassee, Florida- July 24, 2012 by Julie Montanaro
The verdict is in for a molestation case in which a little boy claimed he was molested by another student in a school bathroom.
Ralph Monroe was accused of molesting an eight year old boy at FAMU DRS, which is a k-12 school.
Ralph Monroe was convicted of sexual battery and lewd and lascivious molestation. Monroe was promptly sentenced to life in prison for it.
The little boy took the stand and testified that a "big kid" came up behind him in a bathroom stall and proceeded to molest him.
"I went to the bathroom. I was trying to use the restroom and when I was done, he was touching me in the front and back. He told me to play a game. I said no and then he asked me again and I said no," the boy testified.
It all came to light when the little boy came up to a teacher in the hallway at FAMU DRS in May 2011 and told her he was afraid to go into the bathroom with Ralph Monroe standing nearby.
"The first grader just said to me 'I can't go to the bathroom, I can't go in there," teacher Sandra Grant testified. "The two of us, the two teachers asked what do you mean you can't go in the bathroom? The young student said, pointing to the person knocking at the door, 'That If I go in there, he's going to bother me.' What do you mean he's going to bother you? The first grader said 'he would ask how I use the bathroom and he will tell me let's play a game with it."
The eight year old would go on to pick Monroe out of a photo line up and tell investigators it wasn't the first time.
Monroe denied the allegations repeatedly in an audio taped interview with FDLE. He told the FDLE agent that the boy made it up, but eventually admitted he did touch the boy and offered an apology.
"I made a stupid mistake," he said on the tape. "From the bottom of my heart, I am deeply sorry," he said. He asked the agent to apologize to the child and his parents and said, "It'll never happen again."
The defense argued Monroe was never read his Miranda rights that day. She told the jury Monroe may have touched the boy, but there was no proof of any penetration and no testimony that indicated the exact date of the incident. She argued Monroe may have been 17 years old at the time, not 18.
The jury didn't hesitate to convict Monroe. It deliberated for less than an hour.
"Mr. Monroe wanted his day in court and I believe every citizen has a right to a day in court and every citizen is entitled to a jury trial. He exercised that right. The jury spoke and we have to accept it," defense attorney Barbara Hobbs said afterward.
Within minutes of that verdict, Monroe was sentenced to life in prison. He'll now be a registered sexual predator.
His attorney vows to appeal saying the FDLE agent who interviewed Monroe should have read him his rights.
We tried to talk with family members on both sides of the aisle, but all of them declined to be interviewed.
Tallahassee, Florida- July 24, 2012- 4:10pm
Ralph Monroe has been found guilty.
Tallahassee, Florida- July 24, 2012- 3pm
Attorneys are beginning closing arguments.
The prosecutor says the 8 year old doesn't know what sexual battery is, but he knows what Monroe did hurt.
Prosecutor Jack Campbell spoke for less than 10 minutes.
Defense attorney Barbara Hobbs is now making her closing arguments.
Hobbs says evidence shows there was molestation, but not penetration. She says the officer did all he could to get what he wanted out of Monroe without a lawyer present.
As of 2:55pm, the jury was deliberating.
UPDATED 2:15pm by Julie Montanaro
The defense has rested its case without calling any witnesses.
Attorneys will soon begin closing arguments.
The judge ruled that as part of the jury instructions, he will tell the jury that he made a previous legal ruling that Monroe was not required to be read his Miranda rights when he talked to the FDLE agent in that "non-custodial" interview. The defense vehemently objected.
Updated 12:30pm by Julie Montanaro
The state has rested its case against Ralph Monroe.
Monroe told the judge he would not be testifying.
The defense will begin after lunch.
One of the final witnesses of the morning was another eight year old boy who says Ralph Monroe approached him in the bathroom too and asked if he wanted to play a game. The boy says he ran when Monroe asked him "pants up or pants down?"
Tallahassee, Florida - July 24, 2012 - Noon -
A former star football player at FAMU High is now on trial. Ralph Monroe is accused of molesting an 8-year-old boy in the school bathroom.
The eight year old has since turned nine and he testified a "big kid" walked up behind him in the bathroom stall and touched him.
The child picked Ralph Monroe out of a photo line up. He says Monroe asked him if he wanted to play a game.
The same FDLE agent who interviewed the child went to Alabama to interview Ralph Monroe a fee months later.
On the tape Monroe repeatedly told the agent the child was making it up and he never touched him. But by the end of the interview - which was about 30 minutes long - Monroe said he did do it. Monroe asked the agent to tell the boy and his parents he was deeply sorry and it would never happen again.
Updated 7.24.2012 by Julie Montanaro
The same FDLE investigator who interviewed the 8 year old boy interviewed Ralph Monroe in a conference room at his college in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
Prosecutors played an audio tape of that interview in court. FDLE agent Terry Thomas asked Monroe about the allegations made by the boy.
Monroe repeatedly said "I didn't do it."
"You didn't touch him?"
"He came in and I walked right out," Monroe said on tape.
"He made all this up? Is that what you're telling me?"
"Yes sir."
The FDLE agent told Monroe that this wasn't going away. "You can't undo it," he said.
By the end of the interview, Monroe admitted to touching the boy. "I went that far," Monroe said and told the agent he asked the child if he wanted to play a game.
"I made a stupid mistake," Monroe said on the tape. He said to tell the boy's parents "I'm deeply sorry" and "nothing like this will ever happen again."
The defense attorney pointed out that no one read Monroe his Miranda rights before that interview.
On cross examination, Thomas admitted he had a warrant in his pocket and Monroe would have been arrested that day no matter what he said.
Thomas said this type of "non-custodial interview" is common in law enforcement. He says he told Monroe he was free to go at any time and never coerced Monroe into staying or saying anything.
Updated 9:55am by Julie Montanaro
A 9 year old boy took the stand and testified that 'a guy' touched his penis and his buttocks when he went to use the bathroom at school.
He says he told a teacher he was afraid to use the bathroom again because the guy would "bother him."
The boy picked Ralph Monroe's picture out of a photo line up during the investigation, but when asked if he saw the man who did this to him in court, he said no.
Monroe was a senior at FAMU DRS at the time of the alleged incident. It is a K-12 school.
July 24, 2012 by Julie Montanaro
Ralph Monroe is now on trial for sexual battery and lewd and lascivious conduct.
He is accused of molesting an eight year old boy in the bathroom at FAMU DRS.
There are six women and one man on the jury.
Prosecutors contend Monroe molested the child on more than one occasion. Jack Campbell says a teacher noticed Monroe knocking on the door of the elementary wing. She says a little boy told her he was afraid to go in to the bathroom next door because Monroe would want to play a game.
Prosecutors say when questioned by an FDLE investigator later, Monroe admitted to touching the boy.
Defense attorney Barbara Hobbs asked the jury to balance "the horrific sound in your ear with the defendant's right to a fair and impartial trial."
UPDATED 7.23.2012 by Julie Montanaro
Jury selection is now underway in the sexual battery case of former FAMU High football player Ralph Monroe.
Testimony in the trial is expected to begin tomorrow.
Tallahassee, Florida- July 17, 2012
The former FAMU High School football player accused of molesting two boys was in court today.
Ralph Monroe was arrested late last year for molesting two 8-year-old boys in a bathroom at FAMU Developmental Research School.
This afternoon, his lawyer asked the judge for the victims' school records to see if the boys were friends at the K-through-12 school.
Attorney Barbara Hobbs says the victims' statements are almost identical to a third boy's accusation.
Said Barbara Hobbs: "I want to know if all three of these kids are in the same classes, go to the same P.E. and things of that nature. I don't want anything from them other than what classes they were in and if they were in each other's classes."
The judge told Hobbs she has until Friday to write the subpoena to ask specifically for the boys' school schedule.
Monroe's trial is scheduled to start next week.
Tallahassee, Florida- May 8, 2012
A former football standout at FAMU High accused of molesting boys in the school bathroom faced a judge on May 8th.
Ralph Monroe is set to stand trial later this month. Attorneys were in court yesterday afternoon, arguing over the admissibility of evidence. Monroe's attorney tried to have his confession thrown out, but the judge said no. The judge has not yet decided whether the boys taped statements can be played for the jury.
UPDATED 2.22.2012 by Julie Montanaro
A football standout accused of molesting two boys at FAMU DRS will have to await trial in jail.
Ralph Monroe is accused of molesting one boy and sexually battering another.
Once prosecutors filed charges in the second case, they asked a judge to revoke Monroe's bond.
The judge did that yesterday.
Monroe's trial is set for May. He could face life in prison if he's convicted.
Updated by Lanetra Bennett - Tallahassee, FL - 12-30-11
Authorities are investigating another molestation charge against a former local high school football standout.
Law enforcement officials say the second victim in the Ralph Monroe case is also an 8-year-old boy.
When 18-year-old Ralph Monroe stood in court December 20th, a judge told him that he was lucky not to be in jail for his child molestation charges.
But, this time, Monroe wasn't so lucky.
A judge denied him bail Thursday morning after a second arrest.
A spokesperson for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement says Monroe was arrested December 28th for attempted sexual battery on a child under 12.
Tallahassee resident Marion Johnson says, "I think it was one of the most terrible things that could take place in our community for this young man to do what he did to this young fellow."
Monroe was arrested back in October for molesting an 8-year-old boy in a bathroom at FAMU Developmental Research School.
Monroe and the victim were both students at the K-through-12 school.
Tallahassee resident Ethel Morris says, "It really breaks my heart to see a young person, especially a young person in school doing something like that. That is really bad, that's really bad."
FDLE says the second victim came forward during the initial investigation.
A spokesperson says the victim is also an 8-year-old boy.
He says the incident happened at FAMU D.R.S., but would not say exactly where.
Johnson says, "Who knows? It might be some more to come forward."
FDLE says it won't speculate on that possibility, but points out it is still an open investigation.
Monroe was attending Stillman College in Alabama on a football scholarship before his arrests.
Updated by Lanetra Bennett - Tallahassee, Florida - December 30, 2011 -
FDLE says 18-year-old Ralph Monroe was arrested December 28th at his home in Gadsden County. He was taken to the Leon County Jail.
Monroe was arrested earlier this month for molesting an 8-year-old boy. Authorities say it happened in a bathroom at FAMU D.R.S, which is a K-12 school near FAMU.
An FDLE spokesperson says the second victim came forward during that investigation. The spokesperson says the latest victim is also an 8-year-old boy. FDLE says the alleged incident happened at the school but they have not released exactly where. Monroe is charged with one count of attempted sexual battery on a child under 12. The investigation is still active.
Man Charged with Child Rape Attempt at FAMU DRS
Tallahassee, FL (AP) - A student who graduated from Florida A&M University's Developmental Research School is under arrest and charged with trying to rape an 8-year-old boy who was also attending the school.
It's the second time this year 18-year-old Ralph Monroe has been arrested. He was also arrested in October and charged with two counts of molesting another 8-year-old student at the pre-school through grade 12 school operated by the university.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement said Monroe was rearrested Wednesday night at his Gadsden County home after a second alleged victim came forward. He is being held without bond at the Leon County Jail.
The lawyer representing him on the charges was not immediately known. Monroe graduated from the school last spring and was attending Stillman College in Alabama.
Tallahassee, Florida- December 29, 211 -
A former local high school football standout was back in court.
He's accused of molesting an eight year old boy on the FAMU DRS campus.
18-year-old Ralph Monroe was denied bond this morning on a sexual assault charge. On December 20th, he was denied bond on a sexual battery charge in the same case.
The FAMU DRS graduate was arrested in October and accused of molesting a child while he attended FAMU DRS, which is a K-12 school near FAMU's campus.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – December 20, 2011 - 2pm -
The FAMU Public Safety Department, working in conjunction with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, arrested Ralph Monroe in October 2011 and charged him with lewd and lascivious molestation and sexual battery on a child under 12 years of age.
Monroe's attorney requested to allow Monroe to go back to college in Alabama. The judge denied the motion. Monroe remains on house arrest in Tallahassee.
Judge James Hankinson says Monroe shouldn't have been out on bond in the first place with his offenses.
The trial is set for March 12th.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – December 20, 2011 -
Florida A&M University (FAMU) Public Safety Department working in conjunction with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement arrested Ralph Monroe in October 2011 and charged him with lewd and lascivious molestation and sexual battery on a child under 12 years of age. The alleged incident took place at FAMU Developmental Research School (FAMU-DRS).
Since the investigation, FAMU DRS further strengthened its measures to protect the health and safety of all of the students. The administration has made several changes to the security of FAMU DRS since the beginning of the school year. They are as follows:
- Secured the external gates during the school day.
- Purchased and implemented a Raptor system to perform background checks of all visitors and volunteers.
- Changed the drop-off and pick-up patterns for the elementary school to prohibit anyone from entering the building after the school day. The administration has redirected siblings and parents to the external doors so that anyone coming into the building would be visible to the teachers.
- Increased supervision of all students after school. The administration has created additional duty rosters for teachers to supervise after the school day.
- Increased its supervised after-care programs (that are free of charge) for both elementary and secondary students. Added two free programs so that parents who could not afford after-school care would have something available to them.
- Hired an additional security for after-school hours.
UPDATE -December 16, 2011
Tallahassee - A football star and FAMU DRS graduate is arrested, accused of molesting a child while he attended FAMU DRS, which is a K-12 school near FAMU's campus.
Reports from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement shows 18-year old Ralph Monroe has been under a cloud of suspicion for months. Monroe is a local football star. WCTV interviewed him in January when the defensive lineman played in the Border Wars All-Star Game. His talent earned him a football scholarship at Stillman College in Alabama, that's where officers would later arrest him.
FDLE released a timeline of their investigation. It shows in May this year, a teacher at FAMU DRS told them, 'Child A', as he is referred to in the report refused to go into a bathroom. The eight-year-old told the teacher that if he goes into the bathroom, "Monroe will hurt him." The teacher called FAMU police and the child told them he had been molested by Ralph Monroe, more than once. He said Monroe would approach him in the bathroom and ask, "Do you want to play a game with me?"
The abuse involved inappropriate touching, then escalated. The report shows that Monroe penetrated the child with his fingers. Monroe graduated, and in August began attending Stillman College on a football scholarship.
In October, Stillman College police interviewed Monroe. That's when they say he confessed to molesting the boy. After confessing, Monroe was arrested for two counts of lewd and lascivious acts on a child under 12.
He was booked into jail in Alabama then transported to the Leon County Jail.
