"It's for a worthy cause." "I know, but I'm just not in shape for a 20-mile trek through the streets of the West End." It seems like that would be a typical reaction when the Altrusa Club began planning their Walk for Spastics, to be held Wednesday. But planners of the walk Repor" Photo by Ralph Vigsers Wynne Andreas Is Ready. He Bought New Crutch Tips Libya, Egypt, Sudan 3 Arab Nations Plan to Unite By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Egypt is planning to feder- ate with Sudan and Libya to form "a nucleus for the unity of the Arab world" in north- east Africa. It is Cairo's-sec- ond such "attempt to put to- gether a greater Arab nation. The late President Gamal Abdel Nasser failed in the first attempt, a federation with Syria and Yemen that was formed in 1958. It .-existed mostly on paper, and was broken up by Syria in Sep- tember 1961. Egypt's official name remains the United Arab Republic, a remnant of that try at union. Nasser's successor, Anwar Sadat, President Jaafar el Numairi of Sudan and Col. Muammar Kadafi, leader of Libya's military regime, an- nounced plans for the new merger early today after a conference in Cairo. No target date was given for putting the federation into operation. "The Arab world is facing internal as well as external attempts to liquidate the re- volutionary it said, ad- ding that the confederation was necessitated also by the death of Nasser, "whose mere presence in the Arab struggle (with Israel) was a sufficient symbol of unity for the Arab peoples." Under the plan, called flie Tripoli Charter in honor of a conference Nasser, Kadafi and Numairi held there this year, a tripartite command will first consolidate the poli- tical systems in the countries and coordinate their policies, the communique said. The .command will set up three- sided boards to govern the confederation later, including a "supreme planning com- a national security council for defense, an imple- mentation committee to maintain national progress and subcommittees to handle political, economic, military and social questions. Observers noted that the boards will include repre- sentatives from all three na- tions and their decisions pre- sumably will have to be unanimous. Iranian Airliner Hijacked to Iraq TEHRAN Ira- nian petty criminals, extri- dited from Dubai to Iran for trial, overpowered three armed guards today and for- ced a twin-engine DC3 Iranian airliner to fly to Baghdad, airline officials said. The plane landed at Bag- hdad International Airport on its last drops of fuel and was surrounded by Iraqi troops. The six hijackers, who were not immediately identified, and tiie three guards were detained by Iraqi officials. The aircraft, an air taxi chartered fio Iran Airways, had been on a scheduled flight from Dubai lo Bandar Abbas on Iran's Persian Gulf Coast It was released by Iraq four hours later. Airline officials reported the plane, three crewmem- bcrs and five passengers, lan- ded in Abadan, on the Iranian border, an hour later. Iranian government offi- cials said the six hijackers were smugglers and petty larcenist who fed been ar- rested in Dubai. They said the prisoners were not politic- al criminals and added the government was pressing for their return to Iran. Earlier, the airline officials said hijackers seized the guards' weapons and, holding a gun at the head of Austra- lian pilot Sidney Jordan, for- ced him to divert the flight to Doha, Qatar, for refueling be- fore heading on to Baghdad. Officials at first refused landing permission to the air- craft, which was hijacked during a scheduled flight from the state of Dubai to Bandar Abbas, on Iran's Per- sian Gulf Coast But reports received here said authorities changed their minds when Australian Pilot Sidney Stro- dy Jordan told them he had "not a single drop" of fuel left He had radioed authorities in Tehran, "I have no choice but to use Baghdad Inter- national Airport and follow instructions." say they expect close to people to join them. One of the walkers will be Wynne Andreas, a junior at Ontario High School. Most people prepare for the walk by finding a comfor- table pair of shoes. Wynne prepared by buying new tips for his crutches. Wynne has been crippled from the waist down since birth. Yet his handicap hasn't deterred his desire to help those less fortunate than he. Money gained from the Walk will be used to help train those kids usually con- sidered beyond vocational re- habilitation because they have multiple handicaps, or those who simply can't afford the costly rehabilitative pro- cess. Those are the kids Wynne is marching for. "I'm doing it for the kids who can't afford he said. The march is being spon- sored by the Altrusa Club of Ontario-Upland. The club is dedicated to raising money for projects like vocational rehabilitation for the multiple handicapped. Each marcher, gathers as many sponsors as possible. Each sponsor pays the wal- ker for each mile walked. Wynne already has 18 spon- sors. The amount of pay he is getting varies. Most of the sponsors are going to pay him 10 cents a mile, but some are paying as high as 50 cents, and one man agreed to pay a mile. He hopes to have 30 sponsors by starting time. Notices of the march were sent to Chaffey, Ontario, Upl- and and Chino high schools. More than were sent out. The marchers will gather at Upland Memorial Park, and walk past Upland High School, into Montclair, by Montclair High School, swing south by Ontario High School, and up Euclid past Chaffey High School and back" to the park. Wynne, who lives at 423 W. Granada Court, Ontario, has talked some other kids into joining him. "I preached a whole thing to them about he said. The 17-year-old future min- ister isn't planning on just going for show. "I know I can go 10 miles at he said. He depends mostly on the strength of his arms. Ht says he can bench press IW pounds. Walkers will begin their trek between and a.m., and the Altrusa Club has instructed everyone to wear sturdy shoes. They didn't say anything about new cane tips. THE DAILY REPORT VOL. 313 ONTARIO-UPLAND, CALIFORNIA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1970 TEN CENTS Auto Four in West En Car Flies 20 Feet Off On-Ramp ONTARIO Two men were killed and a .third injured Sunday morning when an auto they were riding in failed to make a curve the Vineyard Avenue on-ramp of the San Bernardino Freeway. The car sailed through the air for 20 feet, struck the recently poured westbound fourth lane and careened end over end. Killed were John William Strona, 21, of 631 Abbey Lane, Pomona, and Ernest Steven Ancone, 27, of 4145 Los Serranos, Chino. The driver of the car, Ro- nald Eugene Stiles, 24, was in fair condition this morning in the intensive care unit at San Antonio Community Hospital in Upland. His address was listed as 1222 E. Grand Ave., Pomona, but the car was registered to him at 288 N. San Antonio Ave., Upland. The three men had report- edly left a record-playing party in Ontario minutes be- fore the crash at a.m. One witness to the crash told California Highway Pa- trolmen he awakened when he beard a screeching noise and crash and said he saw the red Chevrolet "going end over end." The on-ramp is in a con- struction area. Smog Light K No Eye Irritation Tuesday, maximum ozone levels will be .04 to .09 parts per million. There will be no eye irritation.

Newsmen Say Nixon Nof Accessible Enough CHICAGO Nixon promised during his 1968 campaign to run "an open administration" but is not doing so, according to a journalistic society com- mittee. "President Nixon's use of the news conference provides little to inspire confidence that he actually believes in full and free accountabil- ity to foe says the Freedom of Information Committee of Sigma Delta OH The committee made its re- port public Saturday. SDX opens its national convention in Chicago Wednesday. More than 700 newsmen, educators and college journalism stu- dents are expected. The dele- gates will represent more than SDX members.

Hoff said the lawyrs will compare notes and suggest reform measures and ulti- mately draw up legislation to cure ills in the penal system. "One thing we probably will try to have changed is indeterminate Hoff said Sunday. "Instead of the judge sen- tencing someone to a min- imum number of years he must spend in jail, it may be better to impose no min- imum. It might be better to say to a prisoner, 'if you re- ally show some development, you can get out early-' "There's not much incen- tive for a man if he knows he must stay in jail for at least, say, five years." Other possible recom- mendations mentioned by Hoff included more psycholo- gical counseling, work release programs, free legal services an overall improvement of prison conditions. "Statistics show that some 80 per cent of all prisraj in- malcs have served sentences said Joseph W. Mullen Jr., president of the Young Lawyers Section. He said prison is a "school of crime" for inmates. McNeil Island was chosen for the first visit because of work already done there by the Seattle-King County Bar Association. Lawyers have been visiting there for a year along with law students from the University of Washing- ton. One of the victims was identified by sheriff's de- puties as Alvin P. Williams of Laguna Beach, the owner and pilot of the aircraft The sec- ond victim is still unidenti- fied. Witnesses said the Fairch- ild 24, a model on which pro- duction was .discontinued in the early 1940s, stalled at about feet and the pilot was unable to regain flying speed before plunging into the wash. U.S. Forest Service and Los Angeles County units con- trolled the brush fire in an area near the intersection of Mt. Baldy Road and Padua Avenue. William and his passenger left Brackett Field in their open cockpit aircraft about 1 p.m. with a flight plan to take them to Cable Airport in Upland where a 25th anni- versary air show was to take place. Cable officials, said thb morning, however, they had no idea where the plane was from, or whether it had in- tended to land at Cable Air- port Paul Cable said the plane was not scheduled to participate in the airshow.

The cold war: how it began, why it ended
And here you thought your wedding was a bit on the stressful side. At least you're not Kate Middleton, whose every step – especially any misstep – will be broadcast live to the world. It won't get any easier if she ever becomes the consort of the king. On the bright side, she's marrying a handsome and energetic young man. Then again, Henry VIII's first queen did the exact same thing. As for the five that followed her, well, as the old rhyme puts it: "Divorced, beheaded, died. Divorced, beheaded, survived." As she figures out her strategy to keep her position (and her man), "Waity Katie" might be wise to sit back and read these instructive books about Henry VIII's queens. This time around, let's hope only the lessons roll, with everyone's heads staying right where they belong.

ENGLISH Partnerships has chosen a team of 22 contractors and developers, including Amec, Taylor Woodrow and Kier, to help bring the country's brownfield sites back into use.
The panel was selected in a competition run by regeneration agency English Partnerships as part of its National Brownfield Strategy. The scheme is jointly led by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister.
The firms will now work with English Partnerships, 14 local authorities, communities and businesses to identify and assess a selection of pilot sites that will be selected for developments ranging from housing to open spaces.
In exchange for their input and expertise, the panel will be able to put forward development ideas for the sites.
Professor Paul Syms, national brownfield strategy director for English Partnerships, said: 'We wanted to get those involved in brownfield sites around the table rather than have the usual confrontation of the developer versus the planner. We advertised in the Official Journal and had 125 expressions of interest.
'Following that we had around 45 compliant submissions which were mostly good or excellent. Only four or five didn't come up to the mark.
'We then interviewed for the regional panels as the national panel was pretty clear cut.
'These developers will now play a major role in helping local authorities and local people transform some of the country's worst eyesores. We will identify the barriers and solutions to reclaiming derelict land and develop ways that it can be successfully regenerated while taking account of local community wishes.'

Okay, time to wash out the bitter taste from Rex Reed's Worst Films Of 2013 list and get back to the good stuff. The latest person to weigh in with their thoughts on the year in movies is prolific and passionate filmmaker Joe Swanberg. Even though he dropped two movies in 2013—"Drinking Buddies" and "All The Lights In The Sky"—with another one headed to Sundance ("Happy Christmas"), he still managed to get in enough movie-watching to put together a list of his faves in 2013 (though he adds he hasn't seen many of the awards season-type movies).
"This list should be taken with a grain of salt and with the knowledge that it's within the range of the limited number of movies I've seen this year." he told Esquire, "But these are the ones I really loved. With all of them, I walked in thinking I knew what to expect, and I came out with a really different opinion. That resulted in all my best theatrical experiences this year — thinking I was going to get one thing and then getting something else."
So, what will you see below? That the usually indie-identified Swanberg has no problem with studio fare with both "The Conjuring" and "Pain & Gain" making the list. Of course, independent works factor highly with "Computer Chess" and "A Teacher" in there along with "Short Term 12" and "The Spectacular Now." As for his number one choice? You likely haven't heard of it but Swanberg shares with Esquire how it crossed his path and why it resonated (and he has comments for all the entries, so be sure to click over there).

STILLWATER — Mike Yurcich walked silently with a group of Oklahoma State staff members on the way to the elevator to the coaches box Saturday afternoon, continuing to look straight ahead rather than acknowledge a familiar face that passed by.
Yurcich was heading upstairs to begin what could ultimately be characterized as an uneven debut as the Cowboys' new offensive coordinator in a 21-3 OSU victory. It was a first game that featured plenty of outside heat as OSU staggered through much of the first half. It included a quarterback switch, rather than an expected two-quarterback system, and a heavy dose of run game.(Story continued below...)

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Journalsong #6
by Steve Gevurtz
Journalsong makes you fall in love with its author, Steve Gevurtz. It also makes you romanticize Portland while trying to deal with the bad things and appreciate the good things in your own life. #6 is a meditation on the nature of zinewriting. Oh yeah, it's also about wishing you could believe in jesus, conversing with a glass of whiskey, beating up your friend's stupid boyfriend, contextualizing instant rice and beans, burning down Williamsburg, overtipping tiny bartenders, deciding to fall in love with someone right when they decide to fall out of love with you, and hanging out with Warren G. Accompanied by beautiful and cute drawings by Nicole Georges. We've respected Steve's writing, aesthetics, and ethics for quite some time and are proud to publish this issue.

journal song makes me feel sad that i live in australia but atleast i got to find a copy at sticky, take it home with me and imagine buying goya rice and cooking it up, having someone to enjoy it with. i read it to all my friends and now i am writing a review on it for a literature project.
The drawings were real nice but the whole package was this secret description of places i know nothing about, it was like a lil portal into some place else. some place that isn't melbourne.
yeah, i guess the journally zine is done and done again but i just like the idea of having some junkyard piano teaching neighbours and imagining all that stuff happened and while that stuff was happening, i was doing something else.
dontchya think thats neat?

If you are capable of removing what prejudices you have about the format Steve has chosen ie. the "SO over done personal zine", [and I would contend that the SO cynical critic format is a bit tired.] you'd probably find a good writer being as honest as he's able. Steve, your zine is good. Please resist the temptation of becoming too cool to feel.
- Proper Gander
The text was done on a shaky old typewriter and cut and pasted on each page. The whole package throughout is hand done and put together with care and thoughts and is a little more personal.
- Hanging Like A Hex
The ever-popular personal zine is a steaming pile comparable to Mt. Everest in that everyone has done one at some time and has contributed nothing to originality because it's the same old musings over failed relationships and blaming everyone except yourself. Well, for starters, leave the house once in awhile, stop wearing scarves in the summertime and get over yourself. Thankfully, a few take on the same old issues but write them in a way that invokes a little more thought than usual, and prose that is a bit more interesting to read and contextualize. The author has a lot of the same old hang-up's of lost love and a pretty heavy drinking problem, which in part, I can grasp. But on the other hand, I also don't necessarily care. It's the little things- the attachments he makes to other concepts through misery, neighbors, postcards, moving, playing music, and making zines… not to mention a fascination with Goya food products- that make this an entertaining read.
- Punk Planet #69
When every moment has meaning, every line is poignant with gravitas, and every second is more important than the last five, I wonder about these people. They find inner conflict in the most trivial of topics, leading to self-indulgent ranting about everything and nothing. Great for a tediously boring read.
- Wonkavision #29
This completely typewritten zine with fancy acetate cover is about nothing and everything. First of all, props must be given to anyone who is willing to spell out their weaknesses (from the viewpoint of an ex, no less) within the first few pages. There's a bit about trying to remain sober, but Steve wraps up with an ode to whiskey (nobody said it was easy). A fast, painless, inspiring read.
- Maximum Rock and Roll #268
A tried and true personal zine from the Microcosm zine empire [sic?] in Portland, Oregon. Definite Burn Collector parallels, so if Al Burian style travel writings and life musings appeal to you I would advise getting in on this. I found this really hard to write about because while I don't dislike this per se, and the writer seems like a really cool kid and it's not "bad", it just didn't didn't seduce. From Goya instant rice to uncomfortable break ups, the random and the painful and so on.
- HeartattaCk #47
A personal zine done by a man named Steve from Portland with short stories on various topics, from tour stories to relationships, to drinking at the bar. He even has a poem about Whiskey.
- Randie Farmelant, Altar Magazine
I've been hearing about the fabled Journalsong zine for years, so I couldn't wait to finally pick up an issue. Journalsong is a personal zine written by Steve of Portland, OR, and contains all the elements of such—accounts from Steve's life, his thoughts and ramblings—but not too much more. In this issue, Steve treats the reader to a 10-year-old letter from an ex-girlfriend, an account of his first zine and why he still creates them, a description of his neighborhood, the story of a band tour he went on, an explanation of how he lives without an address to call his own, an ode to whiskey, and the tale of a failed dalliance with a girl. In my opinion, the most interesting thing included in this zine was a tidbit about the history of Goya products and how the brand can't be found on the West Coast. This would have been quite helpful to know prior to last summer when I visited my friend in Oakland, CA, and made him take me to three different supermarkets trying to find Goya rice. I'll give you that the writing's good. I like Steve's style of just jumping into stories in which there are no great revelations to be found. Oooh! I almost forgot to add that there are great drawing found throughout the zine by Nicole Georges of Invincible Summer fame.
- Rocktober
This is the most journal zine looking journal zine you'll ever experience. And the writer, Steve, is aware that he is a zine vet who has moved forward, yet lost the energy from his zine youth. This looks great, with all typewritten text, expert xerography that makes everything look raw and DIY, yet is extremely clear and easy to read. My favorite part is the brief history of the Goya bean and rice company.
- Heze Douglas, Broken Pencil
I found some of the observations to be finely written, and enjoyed them the way I would enjoy a character's quirks in an excellent novel. Generally, [Steve] is pretty hard on himself in the entries, so it's not a particularly uplifting read, but the dark days he describes are ones we've all experienced. These entries are short discussions about aspects of his life, such as the letter his ex-girlfriend sent him 10 years ago and how he keeps it to remind himself that he can be a jerk.

H5N8 Avian Influenza Virus Found in Douglas County Flock
Oregon has activated a multi-agency response plan following the confirmation of highly pathogenic avian influenza in domestic birds in Winston, in Douglas County. There is no immediate public health concern, state officials said, and poultry and egg products remain safe to eat. The H5N8 avian influenza virus was confirmed by the US Department of Agriculture in guinea fowl and chickens from a small backyard poultry flock.
Tristar Equine Recalls Gastrotec
Tristar Equine Marketing, LLC is recalling all lots of Gastrotec down to the consumer level. Gastrotec was previously marketed by Tristar as an OTC drug for use in horses, and contains a combination of Omeprazole and Misoprostol. This recall has been initiated due to information from the FDA that Gastrotec must have an approved new animal drug application to be legally marketed in the United States. Gastrotec is not approved by the FDA. As a consequence, Tristar has ceased all production and sales of Gastrotec and is recalling the product.
Non-Pharmacy Dispensing Concept
The Oregon Board of Pharmacy (OBP) is proposing an administrative rule that would allow it to inspect veterinary practices and other drug outlets to ensure that medications are safely handled and stored.
Giving Pets as Gifts: Consider the Choice Carefully
Pets can bring joy and companionship into someone's life, but they are also a responsibility. They require time, energy, and money in order to be cared for properly. Although your intentions may be good, it is important to consider the following before giving a pet as a gift.
Recognizing and Managing Compassion Fatigue
Veterinary professionals, like most caregivers, tend to be naturally compassionate people, but sometimes caring too much can hurt. It's hard to remain emotionally unaffected by the trauma your patients (and their owners) are experiencing. Seeing and caring for severely injured and acutely ill animals day after day – some of which are untreatable, while others might be medically treatable but still need to be euthanized because their owners cannot afford treatment – takes its toll.
Natura Pet Recalls 5 Lots of Dry Cat and Dry Ferret Food Due to Vitamin Insufficiency
Natura Pet Products has recalled certain dry cat and dry ferret food lots produced in its Fremont, Nebraska facility. Due to a formulation error, these products contain insufficient levels of vitamins and excess minerals.
Ebola & Pets
New guidelines for how to manage pets that have been potentially exposed to Ebola have been developed by veterinary and public health experts from the AVMA, CDC, USDA and other organizations.
Winter Pet Care Tips
Keep your pets safe and warm this winter with these helpful tips.
Pet Medications: Issues to Consider When Purchasing Online or at a Retail Pharmacy
Are you considering purchasing your pet's medications from an Internet or mail-order company, or having its prescriptions filled at a community or retail pharmacy? Before you purchase medications from a source other than your veterinarian, you may want to consider these issues.
Support VOTE PAC
With your contribution to VOTE PAC (Veterinarians Organized to Elect), you can support your profession and put $50 or $100 back in your pocket. Your support helps the OVMA support legislators who have been there for the profession. We also encourage all members of the practice team to take advantage of the direct dollar-for-dollar tax credit allowance.

Posted on 12/16/2012 3:18:57 PM PST by Pinkbell
Full Title Was: Police arrest man with 47 guns after threatening to 'kill as many people as possible' at ANOTHER elementary school at the SAME TIME as Connecticut massacre
An Indiana man with 47 guns and stocks of ammunition was arrested after threatening to go into a local elementary school and 'kill as many people as he could before police could stop him'.
Von Meyer, 60, was arrested on Friday after his wife called Cedar Lake police after he threatened to set her on fire and continue his violent spree by attacking a nearby elementary school.
The loaded threat came the same day that a young man killed 20 children and seven others in Newtown, Connecticut.
When police arrived at Meyer's home, they found 47 guns and ammunition, the sum of which cost more than $100,000.
'Through investigation, police learned that Meyer reportedly had a large number of weapons hidden throughout the two story historical home,' the report states.
The makes and models of the guns have not been released, but many of them were said to be historical collectors items.
Meyer allegedly said that he was going to light his wife on fire once she fell asleep. His plan didn't end there, however, as he set his sights on the Jane Ball Elementary School which is less than 1,000 feet away from his home.
The police report states that the school is easily accessed from Meyer's home by a series of trails and paths that cut through a wooded area.
Officials at Jane Ball School were notified, and they immediately took unspecified security measures.
The same happened at all local schools on Friday because of the threat, which was undoubtedly heightened as news rolled in of the shooting in Connecticut.

A Bartlesville High School student is in custody on charges he plotted to bomb and shoot students at the campus auditorium on the same day that 28 people were shot and killed at an elementary school in Connecticut.
Police arrested 18-year-old Sammie Eaglebear Chavez at about 4:30 a.m. Friday after learning of the alleged plot Thursday.
An arrest affidavit says Chavez tried to convince other students to help him lure students into the auditorium, chain the doors shut and start shooting. The Tulsa World reports that authorities say Chavez threatened to kill students who didn't help.
The Bartlesville Examiner-Enterprise reports Chavez planned to detonate bombs at the doors as police arrived.

This inclues the mall in Portland, the loon who fired his gun 50 times in the air in a mall parking lot yesterday, and the two separate shootings in Alabama. I did a search and didn't see anything. I'll post a separate article on that.
Manchurian candidates for a Reichstag fire? The man blamed for that turned out to be mentally retarded, IIRC.
I wonder if this end-of-the-world stuff next week has caused people who were on the ragged edge, to finally go over.
Dude has a serious knack for bad timing.
Far, far too coincidental...this and all the other similar events over the last four years.
Should be a law for a mandatory life sentence without parole for anyone making such threats.
Better not happen...I bought myself some cool tools for Christmas.
Agreed. This idiot is a true gun "nut". Hopefully he'll enjoy several years in the can, and all of his $100K "collection" is melted down for scrap.
That's an interesting thought you've raised. Maybe....people can certainly be kooky, to put it mildly.
Personally, I would expect a rise in suicides, or even a mass suicide, but you never know.
Instead of going over the edge, I am trying to empty my liquor cabinet before 12/21/12.
Heaven forbid that someone gets a hold of my Laphroaig Quarter Cask.
People need to turn off the 24 hour cable news shows with the cool graphics and funeral dirges playing all day long and go out for a walk in the woods or something. I know a lot of people in the country are depressed that we're going to have another four years of Obama but the copy cat BS is getting out of hand.
Why was the thread I posted on the Alabama shootings deleted?
Wall-to-wall media coverage, along with saturation internet talk, gives the nutters their chance at the limelight. Schools need to enlist some protection from the community to make sure these fools get their wish of getting their heads blown off if they they try something stupid.
Not to mention the Johnny Jihads that now see an opportunity to reek chaos so close to Christmas/Mayan Calendar End Times.
When the 2nd plane hit the South Tower, did you doubt it was enemy action?
The Feds are making their move against gun owners.
Winter and these holidays.
The combination makes a lot of people crazy, including me.
While I would never shoot anybody who was not a threat, I deal with the rest of it by becoming a hermit from November to May.
24/7/365 media coverage is to blame, IMHO. It's giving all those nuts a way to go out in a "blaze of glory".
A lot of the way you may feel has to do with our programming to go into a kind of hybernation. Think how grumpy a bear is in winter...
These events are happening too often to be coincedence. Something is going on...I have a bad feeling that a a shooting is going to happen that so sickens the nation that the public "demands" Obama do something drastic. If it's not this it will be something similar I have a horrible feeling that Obama's Inaguaration speech is going to be the Marial Law/end of the Republic order that many have feared. I pray I am wrong.
I'm going to say this for a possibility: It is five days until Dec. 21. I'm reading reports from all over the world of people having strange behavior as they think the end of the world is coming on that date.
Even in China, people are throwing their belongings away, saying they won't need them, giving their money away or buying goods with that money that they have always wanted, thinking it doesn't matter now to spend all their money buying something they wanted.
People are going up certain mountains in the world, one in France, of course Mexico near Cancun where a Mayan pyramid is, and other mountains thought to be "holy".
Are we going to see more strange behavior from now until after Dec. 21? Could these people who are acting out with guns, think it doesn't matter now, they can do what they want?
I think you're onto something. I agree.
This is NOT a gun problem...this is a Psychiatric Pharmaceutical PROBLEM!!
Dangerous unproven drugs led to the suicidal hanging of one of my sons high school friend 1 week after placed on antidepressants. It is happening more than anyone realizes. Homocidal and suicidal tendencies are effects of these drugs...
I'm all for freedom of press, but this is where they need to restrain themselves, out for the best interest of this country. Kinda like the Brits' media so-called blackout on Prince Harry serving overseas.
How do you know if the wife just made the story up? Anyone could call the police and claim you made such a threat. Instant home invasion by jack-booted thugs. God help you if you have a few rifles. The MSM would instantly report you as having an arsenal of weapons and cop-killing ammunition.
I think you're onto something. I agree.
Actually, there is a more scientific explanation for the insanity. People on the edge are put on pharmaceuticals that make them more unstable during a time of magnetic field disruption which affects all humans adversely..... they are simply the most vulnerable....
"Our Sun affects our mental and physical health. The Sun's activity as it interacts with the Earths magnetic field, effects extensive changes in human beings perspectives, moods, emotions and behavioral patterns."
Could these people who are acting out with guns, think it doesn't matter now, they can do what they want?
You may be onto something there. If someone really, way down at the core of being, really believes the world's gonna go kerplooey in five more days, than they may be thinking, "Meh....what the hell. Let's do it!"
People in China are going a little crazy, here where I am in Europe, we got folks going to some hapless little village in France thinking a nearby mountain harbors some UFO mothership, and assorted other craziness. Here in the Czech Republic, it's actually not that crazy, and ironically it's because so many people here are atheists; they simply find the 2012 thing to be some weird, crackpot religious flakiness. They just don't get worked up over it, and if anything, they find the whole notion amusing.
In no case did police prior knowledge of registered firearms assist them in getting a jump on the situation.
Sorry for the double post, but you're right again. The media has to show some restaint, but they won't. If they can get a scoop on anything, they will. Thank God they weren't like this during WWII. They'd be announcing when and where the convoys were leaving to cross the Atlantic.
As a criminal defense attorney I can tell you that most of the time these "threats" are just made up by an angry wife or girlfriend on the verge of or just after a break up.
I'm not saying to take threats lightly, but at least corroborate them and consider the source.
Sadly it's often the sleazy family lawyers that advise their clients to come up with some real whoppers of either threats of violence or unsupportable accusations of sexual abuse.
I recently got a completely innocent young man out of jail after a vindictive female co worker told her superiors at work that he said he was planning to blow up the work place.
The cops ran with it and made no efforts to seriously investigate. Instead an arrest warrant was creatively trumped up and signed by a judge landing my client in jail on an extremely high bond for 6 weeks.
It took a lot of maneuvering to get it in front of the grand jury and he was promptly no billed. It's sad when justice delayed is the best one can hope for.
I say just repeal all bans on carrying guns at school.
Change them to "it shall be unlawful to carry or possess a firearm on school premises during the commission of an assaultive offense or premeditated intent to commit an unlawful act of violence.
There are nuts, psychopaths, terrorists and otherwise evil people planning the next slaughter right now.
It is just a short matter of time before it happens again.
And every word wasted on the subject of control and not spent on the subject of fortifying the most senstive targets that we do not want hit ENABLES ALL OF THEM.
Every day that goes by without armed and armored men in schools tells these bastards THAT WE DO NOT CARE ABOUT THESE TARGETS.
We had best take action right now. Waiting for our idiot politicians to pass more useless gun control laws is ****ING LUNACY!
People see someone become a worldwide household name and figure they can get similar infamy be being an equally big jackass.
Bingo we have a Winner! Remember the insane news coverage of the CT school shooting. I have never seen the media do such a bad job of reporting on a horrible tragedy.
Four years of unbridled obama and bernanke selling out america and all that's come from it is pushing already stressed out people over the edge. This will get worse. First fear the wackos, then the government responding to them.
Melted down for scrap? Your an a-hole! How about auctioned off to pay his legal fees so we don't have too?
You are correct.
Women have a HUGE history of calling the po po and lying in
order to get their husband/boyfriend arrested because they are mad at him. It's extremely unlikely that this man actually made such a threat and it's hugely probable that the wife lied about it.
Amen. More documentation about this, here:
The Federal/media conglomerate are making their move on gun owners for sure. They have been doing this since 1968 when Robert Kennedy and MLK were assasinated. Whenever there is a mass murder the media and their Dem partners can always be counted on to push for more gun control.
They never push for control of dangerous mentally ill people. They never demand that liberal judges stop releasing criminals out on the street but they always want to take guns away. The ACLU forced the law to let out mentally ill people so now we have thousands of people who could go off on society if they don't take their meds and who are living on their own so there is no one to supervise them to make sure that they do take their meds. The law used to allow family members to go to a judge to have a dangerously mentally ill person kept away from society. Now there is little that can be done. It is not just the crazies who go off and kill lots of people at once, there are also single killings, attacks, rapes that must go on every day under the national radar, the stories staying in the local news. These week there was a story on the Boston news of a female mental health worker working in a group home who was raped and murdered buy one of the inmates. There are these group homes thoughout the country, who knows how many similar crimes are being commited by violent mentally-ill people who should be in secure facilities...not group homes.
The media can be very selective when they want to be. Take the case of George Zimmerman, which I think will go down in history as the classic case of the Democrat/media complex acting like a lynch mob. Think about the seriousness of what the Democrat/media complex did to him and the people around him. They lied in many ways just to get their *evil white male gun owner* behind bars. They turned the whole country against him, put him and his family in mortal danger not to mention a family that happened to share his last name. The president interjected himself into the event by hinting that he was sympathetic to Trayvon Martin because he was black. The Democrat/media complex did not care that Zimmerman could be an innocent man going to prison. What happened to Zimmerman could happen to anyone who fit into the handy stereotypes that the Democrat/media complex likes to put on innocent people that they deem to be *enemies* of theirs. The Duke Lacross incident is another example.
"Should be a law for a mandatory life sentence without parole for anyone making such threats."
No... Probably he shouldn't be charged with a crime at all. This type of person is "criminally insane" and needs to be locked up for the rest of their life.
I've seen no evidence of this supposed threat. Yet you are already calling for his collection of historical firearms be melted for scrap. You are a disgrace.
That is interesting as I was wondering if the asteroid that blew between the earth and moon recently ...should have disrupted the magnetic field somehow?
I don't think that explains these shootings at all. The possible shooter in Oklahoma was a young, 18 year old kid who 9/10 couldn't have cared less about Obama or the economy. Considering that the majority of young people voted for and support Obama, I doubt he had any animosity towards Obama. Even if he did, that doesn't explain wanting to kill his fellow students and the police.
The 20 year old in Connecticut was very mentally ill based on everything I've read about him. Every single person who encountered him said as much. In fact, his mother had told someone a week before this happened that he was getting worse. I doubt politics ever crossed his mind in life. If this was political, he sure as heck wouldn't have targeted children at an elementary school.
This guy is obviously a loon, and once again, if Obama and the economy had anything to do with this, he wouldn't kill his wife, and he wouldn't be targeting children at an elementary school.
If these were related to politics, Obama, or the economy, the shootings wouldn't be at elementary schools. Besides, there are many people in this country who are conservative and disagree with Obama, but they aren't going to start shooting human beings. There's something mentally off and evil about these people.
Von Meyer, 60, was arrested on Friday after his wife called Cedar Lake police after he threatened to set her on fire and continue his violent spree by attacking a nearby elementary school.
Democrat? Occupy member? SEIU Union member?,watches CNN? Mentaly iLL?....
Lets get to the truth here.
Okay, might as well say it.
The government has been working for a long time with methods for creating "sleepers" that will perform a specific task upon a certain signal or stimulus.
How better for gun-grabbers to create public sentiment for banning firearms than school massacres?
I'm beginning to believe less and less of what I read and hear in the news.

Posted on 11/29/2005 6:40:10 AM PST by murphE
Every soul that meets death in a state of mortal sin will be damned for eternity
Father Joseph Pfeiffer's sermon recorded on the first Sunday of Advent at St. Michael the Archangel's Roman Catholic Church in Farmingville, NY.
Uh-huh. Well, some of us believe that to be a heaping pile of fertilizer.
Well believe it ! before its too late !
Hate to have anyone stuck in a pit of stench,and fire ,for eternity!
God is JUDGE !
You need to read the book "SO HIGH THE PRICE"...
You don't have to believe in hell to go there.
First, I think Earth, this existence, is hell. Death is a release. And I'll read the bible itself, not someone else's interpretation of it. A pit of stench and fire for eternity? There's that load again.
First, I think Earth, this existence, is hell. Death is a release. And I'll read the bible itself, not someone else's interpretation of it. A pit of stench and fire for eternity? There's that load again.
Sounds like typical post modern hypnosis at work again. Where did you get your original manuscripts of the Bible? And how do you know which books belong to it? Oh what does it matter? You'll put your own liberal spin on whatever you read.
Uh-huh. Well, some of us believe THAT to be a heaping pile of fertilizer. "I think" is the arbiter of all truth. There is no bigger moral cop-out than the classic 1970's statement "Earth is Hell" it's just an excuse to take it easy in life and indulge yourself in giving into weakness.
Of course, all sin is mortal by definition. How can a holy God look upon sin? He cannot. We as sinners are covered by the merits of Christ, Who was the promised Messiah; Who lived a sinless life, voluntarily took the sins of the world upon Himself, died, and is risen. We are justified by faith in Him. Faith compels us to act to be reunited with Him.
I'll read King James version, a gift from my Grandfather, if that meets with your high standards. And if it doesn't: tough sh**.
How you interpret the "Earth is Hell" statement is your opinion, not shared by all. And I'm sure you have no indulgences, being a living prophet. Shall we all genuflect to you now?
My my my. Aren't you full of yourself? And determining me to be a liberal by 3 or 4 sentences. You must have be able to see the politics, the hearts and the souls of every being on earth.
No. Just the obvious ones. It seems you don't like it when somebody applies your own "standards" to what you write but God forbid anyone question the subjective dung you decide to randomly spew.
I'll read King James version, a gift from my Grandfather, if that meets with your high standards. And if it doesn't: tough sh**.
Ah. I see. Since you have a sentimental attachment to something It, therefore is the most accurate and true translation. Smart. That's like traveling across the U.S. in a car and only using a Map from 1790 ad.
And my standards are relevant only insofar as they conform to objective truth. If you say 2+2 is "kinda like more than 2 and less than 12" and I say 2+2=4, my standards in mathematics is in reality higher, whether you or your Grandfather agree.
How you interpret the "Earth is Hell" statement is your opinion, not shared by all.
Once again, the liberal idea is at work.. "there is no objective truth, only opinions."
And I'm sure you have no indulgences, being a living prophet.
Oddly, I claimed no such thing, yet another instance of liberalism, ad-hominem attacks and absurd exaggerations.
Shall we all genuflect to you now?
Only if I'm discovered to be royalty. But for now, don't worry about it.
Boy, you should check your dosage.
Very powerful.
Is he Trad? Our priest is and gives a somewhat similar homily.
Just one thing though: No mention of Divine Mercy? Or did I miss that?
Here are the definitions of the kinds of sin, original,
and actual of which there are two kinds, mortal and venial:
Boy, you should check your dosage.
Interesting. In order to take your swipe, you have to abandon your philosophy of "opinions" and rely on the objective reality of cause and effect regarding medicine. Yet you deny this reality to God. When it comes to God and his revelation, the only thing that matters is your opinion. If you did that with medicine, you'd be dead. What will be the consequence of that attitude for your soul?
My soul, my worry. Not yours. And since none of us know the absolute truth until after death, I'll take my chances. I have more faith in His judgement of me than yours.
Actually, Your soul is my worry despite what you think, and you have no power over my responsibilities before God. You can't exonerate me before Him. I'll be judged by whether or not I defend my faith.
When you attack, I defend. That's the dynamic.
Yet you, in your intolerant cry for tolerance feel no sense of restraint in trashing other people's beliefs as a "heaping pile of fertilizer." Again, hypocritical liberalism at it's best.
If you don't want to engage, keep it to yourself. You seem to act surprised that someone would attack your pseudo-philosophy for what it is after you toss the first bomb.
Just because you CAN post something doesn't mean you SHOULD.
You'll be held accountable for it at your judgement by God and you'll make a fool of yourself in the here and now.
You must have a "reason" for posting. You want to influence people towards your way of thinking. I'm simply going to point out how ludicrous your way of thinking is.
If you want to have a rational discussion on Hell, that is one thing I'm game for. If you are just going to bloviate, I'm going to take that for the attack that it is and react accordingly.
Your choice.
Death, Judgement, Heaven and Hell.
How many people remember - or even know about - the Four Last Things?
Just because people don't want to conform to your viewpoint of God, Hell, religion doesn't mean they should.
If you consider that an attack, so be it.
As I said, "DON"T WAIT till its too late and you meet God -you and all mankind WILL MEET HIM..and He says," DEPART FROM ME YE CURSED into the EVERLASTING FIRE-! THATS in the Bible.
Then you best heed your advice.
Not too many going by peoples' actions. I certainly never heard a sermon on the Four Last Things at my former parish. And sadly, even those of us who do know about these things don't always behave like we do, so we need to be reminded - often.
Just because people don't want to conform to your viewpoint of God, Hell, religion doesn't mean they should.
Sure it does. Who should not conform to the concept that 2+2=4?
If you consider that an attack, so be it.
What would you call, Quote:"Uh-huh. Well, some of us believe that to be a heaping pile of fertilizer."? Is that an invitation to a philosophical/theological discussion?

LOL! Are you also believing that only certain Christians will go to heaven, and that other such disciplines are damned? Like catholics, baptists, lutherans, evangelicals, etc?
I guess all King James bibles aren't created equal, then:
Matt 5:22
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
Matt 5:29
And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
Matt 5:30
And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
Matt 10:28
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Matt 18:8
And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
Mark 9:43
And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
Rev 20:15
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Rev 20:18
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Please find those passages where it says slavery is abhorrant.
There are none. Your point?
The Bible says men should not eat certain foods (pork for example). Yet men have learned over the years to properly treat such foods to prevent disease, to prepare and eat it safely.
Remember, Hell was previously Hadees, and before that Sheol. Over the years, and the bible was translated from language to language to language, and words and meanings were not always accurate. It went from a state of "absence of God" to a physical place of fire and torture.
My point is, we have learned over the years men have found that the Bible is not 100% correct. It can be wrong. And if it can be wrong about slavery, about eating certain foods, about where and how plants shall be grown on farms, etc then it can also be wrong about hell (which may be in the afterlife and only 1 man has returned from death and he didn't stop in that particular place). I have no quarrel with boundaries that have been set for us to live our lives, but I do have doubts about a place of hellfire for men who live good lives but don't believe every word in the Bible.
You say that only one person has ever returned from the dead. On what basis do you make that claim? The bible? Remember, you claim that it is full of errors. If someone made up hell, they could also have made up heaven. Or the resurrection. Or salvation. Or Jesus. It could all be a sham.
You can't pick and choose the scripture you will believe on the basis of what you think is "right" or "wrong".
I also have no doubt that as time passed, and the Gospels were written and translated, that some meanings were slightly altered not out of deliberation but out of the errors of the translators themselves.
And I have no doubt that as the Church itself grew, the gospels were altered yet again, perhaps to have more control of the people, or perhaps to make a more consistent message throughout the 2nd Testament. Remember, the Council of Nicea did edit the Bible, threw out some books of Gospels.
You infer I should believe it all or ignore it all as a sham. I say I can believe the basic message, love Christ as I love myself and my family, and question the Bible as a part of the discovery of God's world.
And I will not pick and choose scripture basis of what you think is "right" or "wrong". Because you are as fallible as I.
You imply that I think myself to be infalliable. I do not, not in the least. But I DO believe that the Bible is.
I didn't say it's not trustworthy. I said some aspects of it were likely altered from original meanings thru translations, through editing, and thru men. But if you are saying that the message remains absolutely accurate throughout from the moment word was put to paper over the last 2000 years, then you are welcome to that.
We just disagree.
Thank you for giving a reasoned post. If I may butt in, the Church teaches this:
The Bible is a complex set of books, difficult to read and understand. It should be read as instructed by the Church, and in the light of the overall teaching of the Church. Otherwise, puzzlements like yours over slavery, pork or Hell will be overwhelming and little or nothing good will come of your reading. Unfortunately, Protestantism encourages indiscriminate and independent reading of the Bible, and many branches of Protestantism tend to prefer literalist interpretations even when it is clear from the context that a literal interpretation is not appropriate, and thus they exacerbate the confusion. The result often is the conclusion that you have reached, that Bible is approximate or Hell should not be a serious concern for all men. This is a loss of Christian faith in general, not only a loss of Catholic faith. While I can only speak as Catholic, please do not take this as an attempt to convert you to Catholicism; I am attempting to convert you to Christianity.
What are the rules of reading the Bible? Like any text, divinely inspired or not, it should be read with knowledge of the context and the culture of the man who wrote a particular book. We need to look at the intended audience and the reason it is written. Besides universal teaching of Man in relation to God and to other men, the Bible contains engineering, medical or agricultural advice, highly metaphorical poetry, historical and genealogical accounts, and what not. It is natural that habits, customs and knowledge of the day will enter the narratives, and they will not be always sound social practice, science or engineering. This does not make the Bible approximate, -- without these narrative, poetic or metaphorical components it would not serve its purpose and so it would not be inerrant!
Second rule is that when the intended meaning is in doubt, one need to check how the intended audience of the day understood the passage. This is why the Catholics and the Orthodox insist on testing the understanding with the early Church fathers and oral tradition. For example, the early Church clearly believed in Hell as a real danger for many -- not just for criminally guilty -- so if you interpret biblical passages differently than that, you are not interpreting them right.
Thirdly, the Old Testament must be read in the light of the New Testament. In particular, we see Christ teaching us to read the Jewish law critically and to use reason. He repeats parts of the Jewish law making it our own, but He does not repeat all of it, and He often reinterprets the Jewish law differently even when he seems to approve of it. Later, the apostles decide to rescind parts of the Jewish law that deals with diet and ceremony. This does not point to the errancy of the Bible, merely to the fact that God gave some of His law to the Jews, and other parts of it to us Christians, and some laws pertain to certain historical epochs, while others hold for all eternity.
A few specific concerns you mention. Pork was prohibited to Jews alone, The Jewish rabbis always interpreted the prohibition not as a pragmatic one, to do with properties of meats, but as one teaching people that God's law is to be obeyed irrespective of reason. This is why Jews don't eat pork today, even though it is perfectly safe medically speaking. The dietetic laws of Moses were lifted by the Early Church because we are under new covenant and the old one simply does not apply. It was not lifted because the Apostles invented refrigeration.
Slavery is either mentioned as a fact of life in the scripture, or charity to the slaves (along with obedience to the civil laws) is urged. Or it is used metaphorically to illustrate the fact that to God we are not unlike slaves. If you have a specific passage that you think condones slavery expressly, show it to me.
Hell is punishment for sin, and the cardinal sin, as is clear from the Fall of Adam story, is disobedience to God. But Christ asks us positively very difficult things, -- to be like Him, to follow Him disregarding all else, and to give our property and lives to others. So, one who merely lives a good life, -- does not steal or murder, -- cannot be assured of salvation. Here the Protestant beliefs differ somewhat, as they would say that one who has professed faith in Christ can be assured of salvation, and we say that while this is so, works of obedience and charity need to prove that faith, and so presumption of being saved is sinful in itself. But no Christian tradition teaches that good life without faith is sifficient to avoid Hell.
Sad answer-Hell's no joke-
Well, I guess we'll all find out for sure after we've shuffled off this mortal coil.
First off, I believe in Christ, and I have no doubt he was sent here. I have no doubt he spoke on behalf of God to give us guidance and a path to follow.
He spoke on behalf of God? Just what is that supposed to mean? I smell Arianism repackaged in post-Tielhardian New Age/ College/ "ME-ism". I'm sensing someone has been unduly influenced by the dominated by liberalism university system. You really need to read some Chesterton or Aquinas and get back to reality.
I don't need to find out..I already KNOW there is a dreadful,unescapable place.
As a Catholic Priest told one ,who also did not believe in Hell..."repeat -I may die this very night and go to Hell forever"..over and over...within that hour the man made his confession and BELIEVED! He did not wish to spead eternity,in a dark,place of stench of fire,torment,devils away from God ..till the end of time..
Well, good for you.

Top cleric seen tipping Iraq's political balance
NAJAF, Iraq Iraqis hoping for a secular, nonsectarian government are worried about signs that the country's most revered Shiite cleric has stepped into the postelection fray with moves that appear aligned with Iran's own ambitions in Iraq.
The March 7 election gave a narrow victory to a bloc led by Ayad Allawi, a secular Shiite with Sunni backing. But Allawi's chances of heading the next government were dampened when two major Shiite blocs, one of them overtly religious, struck an alliance after the votes were in.
Now Allawi faces a fresh challenge in the shape of Grand Ayatollah Ali Al-Sistani, the 83-year-old sage who was revered by Sunnis and Shiites alike as a uniter standing above politics, but who is now seen by many as the man who shut out Allawi and brokered the alliance that put the Shiites on top.
The apparent shift brings into sharper focus the conflicting visions of Iraq's future as the U.S. prepares to withdraw its forces from the country next year - whether it will drift into the orbit of Iran, or take the middle ground by improving relations with Saudi Arabia and other Sunni-led Arab states.
Shiites are the majority in both Iraq and Iran, and the new alliance has positioned religious Shiite parties to maintain their hold on power for four more years and deepen the intertwining of politics and religion in post-Saddam Hussein Iraq.
The formalization of the merger was announced just hours after Ammar al-Hakim, one of its leaders, met with al-Sistani in Najaf, the Shiite holy city and base of the so-called marjaiyah, or religious Shiite leadership.
Sunnis backed Allawi's Iraqiya bloc because they wanted a secular, Iraq-focused party to shield them against some Iranian-style form of Shiite clerical rule. They are taking the new Shiite alliance as a slap in the face, and fear Al-Sistani has gone from uniter of Iraq to uniter of its Shiites.
"We don't view the recent moves of the marjaiyah to have been made in the national interest," complained Mohammed Tamim, an Iraqiya lawmaker. "They were made for the benefit of just one particular sect."
The Shiites, for their part, see Iraqiya as a vehicle for sympathizers of Saddam's Baathist regime to regain their ascendancy or at least win more power than their minority status entitles them to.
Both Allawi and al-Sistani carry personal baggage that isn't lost on Iraqis.
Al-Sistani was born in Iran and holds Iranian citizenship. Allawi is a former member of the Baath Party and was handpicked by the Americans in 2004 to serve as Iraq's first post-Saddam prime minister.
Iraq's next two prime ministers - Ibrahim al-Jaafari and the current Nouri al-Maliki - belong to the religious Shiite Dawa Party which is in the new alliance.
With al-Maliki leading the alliance and seeking another term as prime minister, and Allawi claiming the title on the strength of his election showing, al-Sistani's role may be critical.
The ayatollah won his stature by skillfully shepherding the nation through the upheavals that followed the 2003 U.S.-led invasion, defending the country's nascent democracy, and insisting that the new constitution be drafted by directly elected lawmakers. He resolutely stayed out of partisan politics, and his aides say nothing has changed in that regard.
But two Shiite insiders with direct links to the marjaiyah cite evidence that the cleric has, at least in part, gone partisan.
Speaking anonymously because the subject is sensitive, they say it was al-Sistani who pushed for the merger that secured control of the 325-seat legislature; that he agreed, albeit reluctantly, to be the arbiter of any differences that might arise between the two factions; and that he gave the clear impression he wouldn't support any secular candidate for prime minister, thus ruling out Allawi, the Sunnis' favorite.

02.07.02 Đông Hải Group
Hoa is the leader of the 02.07.02 Đông Hải solidarity group which consists of six members. She will use her portion of their group loan to purchase a sewing machine to sew clothing. This is Hoa's first loan with Thanh Hoa Fund of Poor Women. She will use the profit from her loan to keep her family healthy and happy. Hoa hopes that her business will do well and that her child will do well in school.
Additional Information
About Thanh Hoa Microfinance Institution Limited Liability (Thanh Hoa MFI)Thanh Hoa MFI works to provide credit to women and their families in the central Vietnamese province of Thanh Hoa, one of the poorest regions of the country. The institution's target clients are poor and low-income women who have the ability to work but lack the capital. Accordingly, Thanh Hoa MFI prioritizes single mothers, low-income women with children who have dropped out of primary school, and Viet Nam's poorest women who cannot access any formal financial services.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
