The Gay-Haters have really broken the goofy meter again!
Months ago, Apple received a whole unwanted hulabaloo when they approved the app "The Manhattan Declaration," which consisted of little more than a question "Do you believe marriage should be kept between a man and a woman?" If you answered yes, the Manhattan Declaration would ask you to sign their statement of support for the Antis. If you answered no, you were told you answered incorrectly and to try again. Not even kidding.
The whole fiasco ended with Apple removing the app from their store.
WELL! An admittedly far worse app has just been approved. Exodus International, a documented hate group, better known as the "Pray the Gay Away Camp" people, better known as dangerous liars, better known as the dirty part under the sink, have an app now!
This is a particularly crafty Joe Camel-esque attempt to seize on gay kids' minds when they are at their most tender. Ever since it's become widely accepted that the idea of forcing a change in sexuality is difficult to the point of impossibility, Exodus Int'l has shifted their focus away from "Pray the Gay Away," and onto a softer touch of "help these poor lambs remain celibate so as to not further pollute the water."
In fact, the Exodus Think Tank (surely consisting of scientists, doctors, lawyers, poets, psychologists and other high degree holders) have come up with a nifty new nickname for us gays:
"God's Handicapped Children."
Not to be confused with actual handicapped children, who I think should be allowed first dibs on the moniker.
There's a listing for events, so you can never miss such milestones as Meet My New Wife Picnics and Hang Yourself Thursday. Also, a Videos section, where I'm sure you see testimonials from guys with big Ned Flanders moustaches. You also get the chance to ride that fine line between feeling panicky and close to laughter.
Favorite part of the app description: it's one-star rating, filled with endless comments that are pretty much "You and Apple should be ashamed of yourself."
Journalist Lisa Ling does a program called "Our America," where she frequently celebrates Gay and Transgendered people. For a refreshing palate cleanser, check out this clip of Lisa Ling on Gayle King's show on OWN, talking to an ex-gay minister.
So, we'll see how long this app lasts. If I were you, I'd run out and get that brand new iPad 2 todayand fire up this app while it's still tolerated. With the new A5 microprocessor, you can delude yourself up to 9 times faster than ever before.

Especially Fresh: Golden Kingklip with Olives, Herbs, Spices, and Mayonnaise (Serves 2)
Kingklip is a fish with a mild, sweet flavor and firm flesh. The kingklip has a head like a fish and a body that resembles an eel. Golden and red kingklip are considered the best varieties. I came across kingklip by asking my fishmonger what was Especially Fresh. Of the 6 or 8 fish choices in his seafood case, he called out just two as Especially Fresh and one of them was kingklip. I had never heard of it before, so bought the kingklip. I like stronger taste in my fish, but if you like mild flavor, kingklip is good food.
There is a back-story to my asking what was Especially Fresh. It has nothing to do with kingklip, but let me share it with you now… My parents taught me to be frugal and taught me well. My eyes focus compulsively on sale items and bargains excite me. I have fought my training most of my life and have won a few rounds, especially when it comes to clothes and cars, but am only now becoming comfortable going for quality when it comes to food. I embrace the theory of Quality First with food, but have had a tendency to go cheap when foraging in the grocery store. That got me into trouble recently. I bought fish that was On Sale. I noticed it smelled bad when I got home, but assumed since the fishmonger had sold it to me and I was cooking it the same day, that everything was okay. My fish tasted fine when cooked, but I suffered gastrointestinal consequences later in the night. Here are my thoughts after a night of suffering… 1) all fish that is on sale is not old, but many aging fish are put on sale before being discarded. Quit trying to save money buying whatever is on sale and focus on Quality First. 2) Trust your nose. I should have rejected the fish based upon its bad smell when I noticed it. If the fishmonger had smelled my fish, he would not have sold it to me. Maybe I should be asking to smell the fish in the grocery store, but at the very least, I should be asking my fishmonger what is Especially Fresh.
Prep and cook time: 60 minutes
Ingredient list:
1 pound of golden kingklip (boneless fillet)
1 lemon
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (click here for my mayonnaise recipe)
1 can of green olives
Yellow curry
Dried rosemary
Dried tarragon
Dried thyme
Directions: Line a baking pan with aluminum foil for easy clean up. Rinse fish and pat dry with a towel. Lay fish skin side down on the foil. Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the fish. Dust top of fish with salt, dried tarragon, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and yellow curry. Don't be shy with the seasoning. Spread mayonnaise evenly over the top of the fish. Chop whole olives into smaller pieces. Sprinkle olive slices onto the mayonnaise. Put the fish in the refrigerator to marinate for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Move fish from refrigerator to oven and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until the fish flesh flakes easily with a fork.
Notes: My kingklip had a few pin bones. I failed to pull them before cooking, and just worked around them while eating.
Stir-fried squash and zucchini goes well with baked fish. Chop onion, squash, and zucchini into bite-size pieces. Melt 1 or 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a wok over medium heat. Add the onion and let it cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the squash and zucchini and let it cook with the onion another 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add a handful of dried cranberries and mix well before serving.

Many visitors to Iceland begin and end their trip in the warm mineral water of the Blue Lagoon, near Keflavík airport.
The following course was held in summer 2013. Complete information for Summer Study Abroad 2014 will be posted (dates, descriptions, pricing) by December 20, 2014.
This course concentrates on the relationship of nature to creativity and art.
Open to all disciplines and to both graduates and undergraduates who have completed their sophomore level, this three-week intensive immerses students in the nature and culture of Iceland and offers insight and practice in how to travel and document those experiences for use in future projects.
ICELAND: Reykjavik and the Icelandic West
Instructor: John Zurier
May 20–June 10, 2013
Spots are still available. Interested students should contact John Zurier right away to start the approval process for registration.
With its volcanoes, glaciers, hot springs, waterfalls, lava fields, flowering meadows, and beaches, Iceland's extraordinary range of terrain is like nowhere else, and in midsummer it is never dark. This small island country of 320,000 people has produced many notable artists, writers, and musicians and attracted others from around the world.
Our focus is on the experience, perception, and sensation of nature as a primary source for the exploration and development of new work.
The first week in Reykjavík, which coincides with the annual Reykjavík Arts Festival, offers students an intensive introduction to the art, culture, and history of Iceland. The class visits artists' and designers' studios, galleries, the National Museum of Iceland, The National Gallery, Nordic House, Culture House, ASÍ Art Museum, Kjarvalsstadir, Hafnarhus, HARPA, and more. Accommodations are in apartments with kitchens in downtown Reykjavík.
Participants then spend two weeks on the west coast of Iceland on the Snæfellsnes peninsula, near Snæfellsjökull, famous as the setting of Jules Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth. The area surrounding Snæfellsjökull is one of four National Parks in Iceland and rich in history from the time of the earliest Viking settlement. Snæfellsnes Community was the first Green Globe Certified Community in Europe, one of only four in the world.
Accommodations are in modern cabins on a working horse farm, within walking distance of beaches, mountains, lava fields, and natural hot springs. In this beautiful remote location the class engages in a period of focused work, apart from the everyday world, with all meals provided.
Students also take several day trips to the summit of Snæfellsjökull glacier and surrounding areas, Roni Horn's Vatnasafn/Library of Water in Stykkishhólmer, and other locations that figure prominently in the Icelandic sagas.
Texts, videos, and music are assigned in preparation for the class. Students are also expected to read and share additional material of their own choosing during the class, keep daily notebooks/sketchbooks, participate in daily drawing sessions while in Snæfellsnes, research and develop ideas for future projects, and participate in a group exhibition in spring 2014.
Read CCA Graduate Program in Fine Arts student Lindsey Lyons's account of her experience in the summer 2011 Iceland course.
Undergraduates: completion of sophomore level by summer 2013 and instructor approval.
Graduates: instructor approval
In addition all students must be in good academic, conduct, and financial standing for the 2012–13 academic year.

TC TO JWC ; 21 July 1858; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18580721-TC-JWC-01; CL 34: 59-60
The Gill, Wedy (21 july) 1858
I expected no Letter today; neither shall you get any: I will merely inclose for you what is come, by way of a sign.— Yesterday continued steadily wet till midnight: I had a Mackintosh ride ("quite delightful,"1 I assure you, in the language of flattery) after dinner; item a ditto walk after tea or supper, 4 miles of unspeakable silence, and no company but the pattering of the heavy but quiet rain. Today the air is warmer,—excellent for all kinds of growing creatures;—and prophets are uncertain whether we are in for "new heat" or for the "Lammas flood."2 I guess the latter. Charles XII, my last solid Book, except Fredk ones, is done: a tale ill told here, but raising in one innumerable thoughts. Such a man! Would not for the whole world have spoken or done any lie; valiant as son of Adam ever was: strange to see upon a throne in this world;—the grand life blown out of him at last by a Canaille of "Nobility" so-called! I must now take to Örlich & the Silesian War,3—unless Tourgff seduce me into idleness for a day or two. The Newspaper came from John this morning; contains a criticism or eulogy4 some poor young soul trying his 'prentice-hand in that way. "Di' tha naither ill nor guid!"5—
My clothes are excellent, I assure you; the making of them especially: they lay like a considerable Hay-coil round me yesternight till Mary put them in some press out of the way.6 Had Goody been able for the cloth, it might have been better for one or two of the articles: but my poor little woman was much better spared such a job, had she even been stronger than she is. I am truly grateful to Larkin for that Bramah busn; it was quite miserable to think of poor you being bothered with it on such terms— Jean talks of coming tonight:—No rest for the wicked!7 Yet I am thankful, as I well ought to be, for one that bears so kind a heart to me, and is so helpful in whatever she can.8 Poor Jean; she has good talk too (were any talk very welcome to me); Jamie9 & she are pretty much the only "conversation" I have had since leaving home. May the poor Head get sleep this night,—alas yes!

Many have expressed disenchantment with the passing of the Federal Health Care bill signed by President Obama on March 23, 2010.
The question is, is Colorado Health Care Amendment 63 a good one?
Among supporters for a "yes" vote is Jon Caldera, head of Independence Institute, who said "Colorado has a right to decide how we deal with health care." The Pueblo Chieftain stated, "Perhaps the most onerous aspect is the requirement that all people have health insurance. This is a major stretch of the constitutional restraints on the power of the federal government. ... We believe the federal government has absolutely no power to require people to buy something."
Among those opposing are ColoradoBallot.net, a local blog, which maintained, "Locking this in to the constitution is worrisome because it not only restricts what the federal government can mandate, but what the state can legislate." The Denver Post, averred in an editorial, "Amendment 63, pitched by Independence Institute front man Jon Caldara, would limit the state's ability to implement health care reform and make it even more difficult to dial back health care cost-shifting. It has the potential to foist upon Coloradans consequences that, if not unforeseen, certainly may not be readily apparent."
In all, eight other states, are instituting similar measures, either through the ballot or through their state legislature, according to each states' laws. These states include:
- Arizona Health Insurance Reform Amendment (2010)
- Indiana Health Care Freedom Act (2010)
- Minnesota Health Care Freedom (2010)
- Missouri Health Care Freedom, Proposition C (2010)
- New Mexico Health Care Freedom Act (2010)
- North Dakota Health Care Freedom Act (2010)
- Oklahoma Health Care Freedom Amendment State Question 756 (2010)
- Wyoming Health Care Freedom Act (2010)
In March, 2010, two days before the signing of the Health Care Bill, Attorney General John Suthers joined 12 other state Attorney Generals in a lawsuit against the government, claiming it unconstitutional.

They've just debuted a naturally leavened loaf of bread made with house ground whole Wheat Montana wheat berries and coated with sesame seeds. It's taken them six months to workshop the recipe. This bread ferments for 24 hours, the longest of any bread made by Empire. The result is a wonderfully rich, flavorful product.

John Isner defeated Jack Sock in a sweltering Atlanta to make his second consecutive BB&T Atlanta Open final at Atlantic Station in Atlanta, Georgia. Isner overcame 95 degree temperatures and a spirited opponent in Sock to register a straight sets win 7-5, 6-4. Winning the semifinal sets up a final for Isner against either Dudi Sela of Israel or Benjamin Becker from Germany.
Isner is the BB&T Atlanta Open tournament's top seed and while Jack Sock was not seeded it was a very close match as the 2014 Wimbledon Men's Doubles Champion gave Isner all he handle. Before the match Isner had played Jack Sock four previous times winning three of them. However in their most recent meeting, two weeks ago in Newport RI, Sock won in straight sets.
Both players started well. The first set lasted 48 minutes, despite going to 7-5 as few points created any long rallies as both players dominated with the placement and pace of their serve. At the pivotal game at 5-6 in the first Jack Sock was serving to save the set. In a long game characterized by nine deuces Sock eventually lost the set with an unforced error.
The second set was similar to the first, in that service games dominated. In the tenth game Sock was broken after three deuces to fall to lose the second set 4-6 and the match.
The key to the game was Isner's ability to adapt to Sock's serve in the second set while at the same time turning up his own first serve. For the match Jack Sock won 66% of his first serves but only 53% in the second set. By contrast Isner won91% overall but 94% in the second set.
The BB&T Atlanta Open is playing at Atlantic Station for the third consecutive year. The location is popular with patrons as there is a full set of retail services surrounding the tournament which is played on the site of a former parking lot.

The following provides guidelines for reconstituting the material to be tested so as to produce a sufficient amount of material needed to prepare the appropriate sample type (Type 1 or Type 2 sample) at the designated moisture content and density.
If the sample is damp when received from the field, dry it until it becomes friable. Drying may be in air or by use of a drying apparatus such that the temperature does not exceed 60°C (140°F). Then thoroughly break up the aggregations in such a manner as to avoid reducing the natural size of individual particles. Moderate pressure and a 4.75-mm (No. 4) sieve have been found to be adequate to break down clay lumps.
2.1 Determine the moisture content (w1) of the sample as per LTPP Protocol P49. The sample moisture content shall weigh not less than 200 g (0.44 lb) for samples with a maximum particle size smaller than the 4.75-mm (No. 4) sieve and not less than 500 g (1.1 lbs) for samples with a maximum particle size greater than the 4.75-mm (No. 4) sieve.
2.2 Determine the appropriate total volume (V) of the compacted specimen to be prepared. The total volume must be based on a height of the compacted specimen slightly greater than that required for resilient testing to allow for trimming of the specimen ends if necessary. Compacting to a height/diameter ratio of 2.1 to 2.2 will provide adequate material for this purpose.
2.3 Determine the weight of oven-dry soil solids (Ws) and water (Ww) required to obtain the desired dry density (Υd) and moisture content (w) as follows:
2.4 Determine the total weight of the prepared material sample (Wt) required to obtain Ws to produce the desired specimen volume V at dry density Υd and moisture content w.
2.5 Determine the weight of the dried sample (Wad), with the moisture content (w1), required to obtain Ws, including an additional amount Was of at least 500 grams (1.1 lbs) to provide material for the determination of moisture content at the time of compaction.
2.6 Determine the weight of water (Waw) required to increase the weight from the existing dried weight of water (W1) to the weight of water (Ww) corresponding to the desired compaction moisture content (w).
2.7 Place the sample (Wad) determined in 7.3.7 into a mixing pan.
2.8 Add the water (Waw) to the sample in small amounts and mix thoroughly after each addition.
2.9 Place the mixture in a plastic bag. Seal the bag and place it in a second bag and seal it.
2.10 After mixing and storage at a minimum of overnight and a maximum of two days, weigh the wet soil and container to the nearest gram and record this value on the appropriate form (see Worksheet T46).
2.11 The material is now ready for compaction.

I installed xfce4 (
sudo apt-get install xfce4) and now in an ordinary Ubuntu (unity) session I'm getting light-colored (what I'm assuming are xfce's) notification bubbles. How do I revert this back to notify-osd?
I installed xfce4 (
from http://www.techmansworld.com/2012/07/how-to-restore-unitys-notification.html
So first off, open up a terminal You can do this by accessing the applications menu from XFCE, or in Unity by opening the dash and typing in "terminal". Once the terminal is open, paste the following line into the terminal and press enter.
After pressing enter, you should receive a prompt for your password because this is modifying high level parts of your system. Just enter your password and continue. A new gedit (text editor) window should open with that config file.
All you have to do now is replace one line of text in that file. In that file, just replace following line:
Note For 64 bit installations replace:
After that, save the file and log out. Log back in, and you should see Unity's notification system back. Note that after doing this, you will also get GNOME's notification system in XFCE.
If you do change your mind and want XFCE's notification system back, just edit that file again and paste the first line back to where the second line is located.
I had the same problem but, in my case (with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - 32bit) I replaced the line
with this one:
because the executable notify-osd was there, instead being in /usr/lib/notify-osd/.
After that, I recovered the volume and brightness OSD notifications!

'When a tree falls it resounds with a thundering crash; and yet a whole forest grows in silence.'
― Jocelyn Murray
Unfortunately, mainly bad news makes the headlines on TV nowadays. Positive events rarely make the headlines. Therefore, watching and listening to news 24/7 is like listening and watching trees falling all the time. You do not get a chance to enjoy the beauty of the growing forest. You get to see everything falling apart. And it is bad for your health.
In response to stress, your brain region called the hypothalamus sends a signal that triggers the adrenal glands secrete glucocorticoids, aka cortisol, which are steroid hormones that produce a number of effects on your body. It mobilizes energy into the bloodstream from storage sites in your body, increasing cardiovascular function and delaying long-term processes in the body that are not essential during a crisis, such as immune system, feeding, digestion, and growth, in order to survive immediate threats.
Therefore, glucocorticoids help the body respond to stress and, in fact, are essential for survival. However, long-term cortisol secretion and excessive levels of cortisol in the blood--due to chronic stress created by being exposed to bad news on regular basis--result in significant physiological changes, such as weakened immune system, cells damage, reduction in calcium absorption, increased blood pressure, nervousness, fear, and sometimes even aggression.
Thus, excessive exposure to bad news has a toxic effect on your body. So, stop consuming news 24/7. Stay up-to-date as much as you need and want during the day but limit the consumption. It will make you not only healthier--it will make you happier.

December 4, 1967, Dr. King and the SCLC announced a campaign called, "The Poor Peoples Campaign", as King delivered the speech "A kind of social insanity which could lead to national ruin." A month later, the SCLC distributed documents explaining why the campaign was necessary, while King brought media attention to the campaign by demanding full employment, $30 billion for antipoverty, guaranteed income, and the annual construction of 500,000 affordable residences. I find it interesting the lack of information that has been provided on Dr. Kings "Economic and Social Bill of Rights for the Poor", which he proposed below. Here is a link to the original document. http://www.thekingcenter.org/archive/document/economic-and-social-bill-rights#
1. A meaningful job "at a living wage" for every employable citizen.
2. A secure and adequate income for all who cannot find jobs, or for whom employment is inappropriate.
3. Access to land as a means to income and livelihood.
4. Access to Capital as a means of full participation in the economic life of America.
5. Recognition by law of the rights of people affected by government programs to play a truly significant role in determining how they are designed and carried out.
6. Recommit the Federal Government to the "Full Employment Act of 1946" and legislate the immediate creation of at least one million socially useful career jobs in public service.
7. Adopt the pending "House and Urban Development Act of 1968".
8. Repeal the 90th Congress's punitive welfare restrictions in the "1967 Social Security Act".
9. Extend to all farm workers the right guaranteed under the "National Labor Relations Act" – to organize agriculture labor unions.
10. Restore budget cuts for bilingual education, Head Start, summer jobs, "Economic Opportunity Act", and "Elementary and Secondary Education Acts."
"In 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., isolated himself from the demands of the civil rights movement, rented a house in Jamaica with no telephone, and labored over his final manuscript. In this prophetic work, he lays out his thoughts, plans, and dreams for America's future, including the need for better jobs, higher wages, decent housing, and quality education. With a universal message of hope that continues to resonate, King demanded an end to global suffering, asserting that humankind-for the first time-has the resources and technology to eradicate poverty." Vincent Harding
Have any of you ever heard of a book titled, "Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?" It was the last literary work by Dr. King, before his assassination, in which he advocates for guaranteed income, amongst other ideas. This book should be mandatory material for American students, yet, very few have knowledge of its existence.
Also, how many of you are aware of the details surrounding "Resurrection City"? I will share my views concerning the eviction of, "Resurrection City", in the near future, but for those of you who are not familiar with RC, below is a short description found in Wikipedia.
"On Sunday May 12, 1968, demonstrators led by Coretta Scott King began a two-week protest in Washington, D.C., demanding an Economic Bill of Rights. May 12 was Mothers' Day, and five thousand people marched to protest 1967 cuts to Head Start, as well as Senator Long's description of mothers on welfare as "brood mares" and other elements of mounting racist stigmatization."
Many tell this day continue to question the tactics, and aggressive nature, which were used by law enforcement, to dismantle and evict the individuals who were stationed at "Resurrection City." (This took place after the assassination of Dr. King)
It is well known that FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover famously called Martin Luther King Jr., "the most dangerous Negro", while keeping him under close surveillance. It looks like since his assassination, Dr. King's legacy, and solutions to the American problem, have been altered, and swept under the rug.

CCTV Video Shows Killer, Police at Bank
Police have released the footage from the bank raid that left five dead.
By Gil Ronen
First Publish: 5/22/2013, 8:10 PM
Police have released some of the closed circuit television footage from the murderous spree at a Be'er Sheva bank Monday that left five people dead, including the killer, Itamar Alon.
The footage shows Alon, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, speaking with one of the bank officials, leaving, and then returning, armed with a gun. He can be seen firing in the direction of the floor.
Further footage shows police slowly approaching the entrance. It is not clear if Alon was still alive at this point or if he had taken his life. They can then be seen dealing with the aftermath of the attack.
Alon murdered several bank employees after they refused his requests to allow him to withdraw money.

This section provides information about housing and community state and territory Indigenous policies and strategies relevant to Indigenous environmental health for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander environmental health practitioners.
This Western Australian (WA) state planning policy applies to the planning and development of Aboriginal settlements throughout WA. The policy requires that all Aboriginal settlements in WA have an endorsed Layout Plan. Each Plan must be developed in consultation with, and endorsed by, the resident community. Each plan must include a drinking water source protection plan.
This policy is informed by the recommendations of the 1991 Royal commission into Aboriginal deaths in custody. The Royal commission, among other things, looked at the relationship between poor living conditions in remote settlements and compromised life chances for Indigenous Australians. One of the recommendations of the Royal commission was that 'the provision of housing and infrastructure to Aboriginal people in remote and discrete communities, including the design and location of houses, take account of their cultural perceptions of the use of living space, and that budgetary allocations include provision for appropriate architectural and town planning advice to, and consultation with, the serviced community.''
This policy was gazetted in 2011 and supersedes the 2000 iteration. The policy is made under the WA Planning and Development Act 2005. State agencies and local government in WA need to take into account this policy to ensure integrated decision-making in planning for Aboriginal settlements.

After months of waiting, "The Walking Dead" fans finally got a sneak peek of the action that's to come in Season 5 of the walker apocalypse. On Friday, the San Diego Comic-Con revealed the first trailer to "The Walking Dead" Season 5. For us fans not in San Diego, ComingSoon.net had fans covered with a live chat of the events. Spoilers are ahead if you are not caught up to "The Walking Dead."
The trailer begins right where it left off, "They're screwing with the wrong people," Rick says, turning to Daryl. The next clip shows the group about to break their way out of the train cart. "I just hope you understand that we didn't want to hurt you," Gareth's voice is heard saying.
Quick images and clips of a battle in Terminus play. The group is captured and tied up in a row. "You don't have to do this," Bob says. They are tied up to be butchered for meat, but Bob shares that they have a man with them, Eugene, who knows the cure to the walker virus. "He has a cure, we just have to get him to Washington," Bob tells Gareth.
Gareth believes him, as he tells Rick, "You join us, and you go to Washington and cure this thing." The next quick clips and images show the group struggling to trust Gareth, and a lot of walker action.
Beth is shown in the last part of the trailer, looks like she will have a different story then the gang– at least for now. Check out the trailer at Comic-Con YouTube! "The Walking Dead" Season 5 premieres on AMC on October 12. Stay tune for more spoilers and news!

Those symptoms definitely do not sound like acid reflux. My pediatrician told me that some babies are sensitive to internal sensations and as long as the poo is normal that i shouldnt worry. She also said a lot of babies grunt and cry before poops. Every kid that i knew that had acid reflux vomited like constantly. I would get a second opinion on that if that is not the case with ur baby.posted 10/20/2011 by michaelmom26
Maybe he gets really bad tummy aches from too much gas. I would try gas drops. I have heard a lot of good things from other moms about them. It's worth a shot.posted 10/19/2011 by ashleypocket

The Associated Press reports that Ke$ha (music performer and reality TV personality Kesha Rose Sebert) has checked into a rehabilitation facility for the treatment of an undisclosed eating disorder. The performer offers a short statement: "I'm a crusader for being yourself and loving yourself, but I've found it hard to practice." Although the Allentown Family Health Examiner has no inside information regarding Ms. Sebert's illness, recent scientific research sheds light on two schools of thought regarding the causes of eating disorders. It seems likely that a holistic approach to treatment is the optimal way to uncover the source of an individual's particular problem and remediate it.
The most common belief about an eating disorder such as anorexia or bulimia is that it is a problem with a psychological source: perhaps an inaccurate body-image, or a need to exercise control over some aspect of one's life. An article in the November 2013 issue of the Journal of Abnormal Psychology elaborates on different subtypes of anorexia nervosa, including "fat-phobic" and "non-fat-phobic." Research published in a German psychological journal indicates that the body image disturbance that often accompanies late adolescent and adult eating disorders is often not part of young adolescent eating disorders.
Psychological treatment of eating disorders focuses on trading unhealthy habits for healthy ones, such as monitoring one's own eating and moods and developing healthy ways to handle stressful situations. Psychologists Jim Harris and Ashton Steele argue that the "psychosocial" etiology of eating disorders should not be dismissed as treating physicians consider other sources of the problem.
What are these other sources? They are generally grouped under the heading of neurological chemical imbalances. Research to be published in the February 2014 issue of Current Psychiatry Reports asserts that dyfunction of the hypocretin system (a group of neurons in the hypothalamus and their associated neuropeptides) underlies eating disorders, schizophrenia, and addiction. An article published in the December 2013 issue of Eating and Weight Disorders contends that adiponectin, an adipokine (cell signaling protein secreted by fatty tissue), is responsible for modulation of the desire to eat, and that misregulation of this protein may be involved in eating disorders.
However, it is possible that a problem other than a psychosocial one or a neurological one underlies some individuals' unhealthy eating behaviors. Recent research published in Gastroenterology Research and Practice indicates that "celiac disease ... and not gastrointestinal-related symtoms or psychological factors may contribute to pathological eating behavior in celiac adults." The researchers report that eating disorders are more common in young women with celiac disease than in men with celiac disease or gastrointestinally healthy women. They mention hormones and carbohydrates as compounds possibly involved in the etiology of eating disorders in this segment of the population.
What about getting better? Certainly, identifying the source of the problem is crucial. However, the motivation of the patient to regain her health also plays an important role. In an article published in Eating Disorders, researchers note that the three most important factors in the recovery of female athletes from eating disorders may be "the desire to be healthy enough to perform in sport, support from others, and shifts in values / beliefs." These factors are likely important in the successful treatment of an eating disorder, regardless of the source of the problem.

|"Tiny Titans" #1 on sale this week
With "Tiny Titans" the first out of the gate – issue #1 is set for release this week, February 13 – CBR News spoke with all three creators about the importance of all ages' comics and why they're so much fun to write.
Art Baltazar is a long-time fan of "Teen Titans" and says while his take on the team of sidekicks is kid-friendly, you certainly don't need to be a child to enjoy the book. "In fact, you can treat yourself even if you don't have kids," Baltazar remarked. "There are lots of references to the current Titans titles and characters. Some cameos by other DC characters, too. So, if you're a long time Titans fan, you'll get the jokes just like the new fans just jumping on."
Don't believe him about cameos? Baltazar teased, "There's a member of the Justice League on page one of 'Tiny Titans' #1. Also, Barbara Gordon makes her first appearance in the first issue and she's wearing a cape."
|"Super Friends" #1 on sale March 19
"They're kind of in their own Tiny Titans world, doing their own Tiny Titans things. Imagine the same Titans we all know and love, but really, really little. Each book is self contained and awesomely funny to read."
Baltazar also keeps busy as the artist of the critically acclaimed "Patrick the Wolf Boy," written by Franco Aureliani. "We may have a new trade coming out soon," said Baltazar. "I'm currently developing and writing stories for my characters 'Meteor Mite,' 'Li'l Nasty Wolf Junior,' a comic I call, 'Scratch" and a romantic Graphic Novel called 'Hot Alien Love Rocket.' Besides comics, I've been painting lots of paintings and trying to work the art gallery scene."
Based on the designs from the Mattel toy line, Dr. Sholly Fisch's "Super Friends" – which launches Wednesday, March 19 – is more geared to younger readers than "Tiny Titans." "In a world where there aren't nearly enough comics for kids, our goal is to make 'Super Friends' a series that hooks kids on the fun and excitement of comics and super heroes," explained Fisch, who is a noted developmental psychologist. "This is the one that inspires young kids to finish reading, wrap a towel/cape around their neck, and run around the house shouting, 'Up, up, and away!'
"Basically, the series builds on all of the things that make super heroes work for kids. The heroes are true icons – Superman, the Batman, Wonder Woman, and so on. The series doesn't take itself too seriously, so there's plenty of room for just plain fun. And most important, the heroes really are heroes – who do the right thing, just because it's the right thing to do. They help each other, and help people who need them, too.
|"Tiny Titans" #2
"To that end, one key to the series is to get kids as involved as possible. So, alongside the stories, every issue also features things like secret coded messages, puzzles, personalizable Super Friends membership certificates, cut-out finger puppets, etc., etc. And among its letters and kids' drawings, the letters page also features the 'Super Friend of the Month,' a real kid who's written in to tell us about something nice they did for someone else.
"So yes, the primary audience is young kids. But we've also been sticking in plenty of stuff to catch the eye of anyone who's old enough to remember things like talking gorillas and Cap's Hobby Hints. Essentially, it's for anyone who likes fun comics and who's still kind of a kid at heart."
Cap's Hobby Hints was a feature that ran in DC titles in the 1960s, in which kids could mail in their own hobby hints. If the hints were published, the lucky child would receive $5.00 and some original art from the book.
Like Baltazar, Fisch is a long-time fan of his source material. "Well, let me put it this way, when editor supreme Rachel Gluckstern first asked if I wanted to write 'Super Friends,' my answer was, 'Have I mentioned that, when I was five years old, the first comic book I ever bought was an issue of 'Justice League of America'? I'm having a blast writing this series."
|"Super Friends" #2
The finger puppet reference is in homage to the 1962 cover of "Justice League of America" #10.
Outside of comics, Fisch owns and operates an active business as an educational consultant and researcher for children's educational media. His current projects run the gamut from working on a few television series, to consulting with a group of experts in preschool math education at the National Academy of Science, to running a research study on what kids learn from the PBS series 'Cyberchase' and another international study for Sesame Workshop.
"Every once in a while, I manage to spend a few minutes with my wife and kids, too," joked Fisch."I always recommend that parents screen comics, just like any other media, to make sure they approve of the content before sharing them with their kids. As I tell parents, 'you're the best judge of what's right for your child."
|"Tiny Titans" #3
The third new title for Johnny DC has yet to be solicited, but we know it's a new vision for Captain Marvel and it's the brainchild of Eisner Award-winning creator Mike Kunkel. "I can't say enough how excited I am about working on the new kids' line with Captain Marvel," said Kunkel. "It's a character I've loved since I was a kid, and I hope to bring a lot of new fun to the Universe of Shazam. There's a charm and appeal with these characters that is so enjoyable to tell stories with, and has always fit naturally with an all-ages audience. Plus, it gives me the license to yell Shazam whenever I want."
Kunkel won back-to-back Eisners in 2002 and 2003 for "Herobear and the Kid."
Now discuss this story in CBR's DC Comics forum.

The Entiat City Council took formal action at their meeting last week that will set into motion several projects that will significantly affect both residents and visitors beginning this summer.
As part of Chelan PUD's 43-year license to operate Rocky Reach Dam they will oversea the renovation and expansion of the EntiatPark. The park will remain open this year, closing for construction at the end of the season and remain closed for renovation during 2013, reopening Memorial Day 2014.
Entiat Mayor, Kieth Vradenburg reports that the council approved the addition of a trail that will connectto the downtown area.
Mayor Vradenburg said the goal is to keep the boat launch open as much as possible during construction however, there may be intermittent periods when in-water work and boat launch renovation will force temporary closure.

By Gene Phelps/NEMS Daily Journal
FULTON – Itawamba Community College men's basketball coach Marty Cooper knew the clock was ticking on his career when practice opened in October.
"The gas tank was getting a little low," he said. "It's not that I didn't care. I just had low energy. Basketball's a grind, but you shouldn't feel that in October."
Cooper, 53, announced Wednesday he was resigning after 14 years as head coach at ICC, effective at the end of the season. The Jackson, Ohio, native came to ICC from East Central Community College, where he coached six seasons.
The 27-year coaching veteran will remain at the college, working in the school's graduation initiative program. His wife, Jennifer, who was his assistant coach, will continue as an instructor in the school's natural science department.
The couple has an 11-year-old daughter, McKenzie.
"It's a point in my life where I felt like I needed to put my family first," said Cooper, during a press conference at the Davis Event Center. "It's just time to move on and accept another challenge in my life."
Cooper has a record of 250-134 at ICC that includes four MACJC North Division championships, one state championship and three Region 23 championships.
The Indians advanced to the NJCAA national tournament three years (2002, '07 and '08). He has a 21-year career record of 366-215 as a head coach in the state community college ranks. He also won a state title at East Central.
Carrie Ball-Williamson, ICC's athletics director, said a search would begin immediately to find Cooper's replacement.
"Hopefully we'll get somebody in here before signing day (April 8)," she said.
'A great coach'
Ball-Williamson praised Cooper for his direction of the program.
"Marty's had a great 14-year run here," she said. "He's a great coach. He took this program to another level. He not only produced great players, but great young men."
Cooper and his staff will continue to recruit until a new coach is named.
"It was the best thing for ICC that I announce this now," he said. "The people we're recruiting want to come here regardless of who the coach is."

Can Do Shall Undo The Damage Done.
Queensland premier Campbell Newman is taking drastic action to get the state firing on all economic cylinders again. As part of the LNP's rescue mission to pay back billions of Labor Party debt Can Do is going to have to live up to his nickname and put spare money back into the pockets of struggling Queenslander's and to do that, the cost of living must come down in the form of water, electricity and registration costs.
The Newman government has been given the ultimate mandate to mow down thousands of unneeded biro pilot state government department jobs which the ALP was responsible for creating with wanton unaccountable recklessness to give thousands of Labor mates a job for the sake of it.
The spending cuts axe began virtually the night after the thumping LNP election victory, but there are still heaps of bureaucrats in Queensland who have to go for the sake of restoring the state budget to the point where treasurer Tim Nicholls can fund all the election promises which were made by Newman.
The premier announced today in a media statement that the state budget has been pushed back to September from its normal June timeslot to allow all his frontbenchers, and in particular Nicholls, time to audit their departments and put a fiscal broom through them to cut down on waste and therefore slash expenditure.
This is a welcome announcement, and is in keeping with Newman's dedication before the election to come good for the greater good of Queensland by doing what has to be done to reduce the burden on taxpayers and making sure unlike Labor politicians that every taxpayer dollar is accounted for.
On a slightly more critical note, the push by deputy premier and Minister for Regional Development Jeff Seeney to have existing and future development at the coal and CSG export terminals along the Queensland coast made exempt from any federal environmental assessment is both unnecessarily politically motivated and quite simply far too cocksure for someone who has only been a minister for three weeks.
At first even Campbell Newman was singing the same tune at the COAG premiers meeting in Canberra but he later retracted his demands for federal Labor to stay out of state development
assessment matters and has provided somewhat of an undertaking that he and his LNP government will work constructively with federal Labor to achieve the best outcome for both sustainable development along the Queensland coast and the Great Barrier Reef.
I wholeheartedly agree with Bob Katter as far as holding Campbell Newman to account for his pre-election promise that the LNP would uphold the World Heritage listed protection provided to the Great Barrier Reef.
At the same time I acknowledge that the only way that Campbell Newman can broker Queensland out of Labor's quagmire of debt is to kickstart development.
As long as development is sustainable and doesn't involve coal seam gas wells or open cut
coal mines on any cropland, I back Newman and the LNP all the way.

The factors that contribute to the present obesity epidemic are numerous and diverse in nature. Of considerable relevance is the availability and overconsumption of palatable food high in fat content. I am interested in studying the behavioral and neurobiological consequences of prolonged exposure to a high-fat diet in the rodent model. Currently, I am using a number of behavioral and histological techniques to examine how the consumption of this diet elicits molecular change and structural plasticity within reward circuitry, and specifically how these modifications may be mediated by various endopeptidases.

Medina's Ali Garrity is joining some exclusive company. The Gazette's 2011 MVP for girls tennis, Garrity joins three other former Bees — Suzanne Batten (1996-98), Lindsay Connors (1992, 94-95) and Beth Schaefer Winquist (1987-89) — as the only three-time winners of the award in the sport.
A junior, next year she will be out to become the sixth Medina County athlete to win four Gazette MVP awards in the same sport, which would enable her to join Ethan Dunbar (Cloverleaf boys tennis, 2007-10), Donny Roys (Medina boys cross country, 2005-08), Evan Hunter (Medina boys tennis, 2003-06), Max Schlather (Medina boys tennis, 1996-99) and Kari Eaton (Wadsworth girls cross country, 1995-98).
The 16-year-old Garrity is coming off a season where she became the first female Medina singles player to reach the state tournament — she lost 6-1, 6-2 to eventual Division I state champion Mehvish Safdar of Cincinnati Ursuline Academy in the first round — since Batten in 1998.
"If I'm going to lose to someone, I want it to be the state champion," said Garrity, who went 23-6 to up her career mark to 65-18, virtually all those matches coming at the demanding first singles position. "To see how I played those three games I did win, that's how (Safdar) plays consistently. I just need to get to where I'm playing at that level all the time and I'll be right up there with her."
A seasoned United States Tennis Association player, Garrity competes in the sport almost year-round. In addition to her time with the Medina program, she plays in numerous tournaments in the high school offseason and works regularly with Paramount Tennis Club pro Winquist, who finished third in the state in singles as a Medina senior in 1989.
"That match down at state, the girl that beat her was a little bit better than she was, but she's not that far off," Winquist said. "A couple of deuce games here and there were the difference.
"Shot for shot, Ali is right there. Ali played with her for four or five games. She's there. She's an inch away. We've just got to learn to put it together for an extended period of time."
Garrity put it all together late in the regular season, when she beat Walsh Jesuit's Katelyn Hissong and Hudson's Kati Mdzinarishvili in straight sets in the same week.
The next week, however, she got drilled by Mdzinarishvili in the semifinals of the Medina Sectional and finished third, leading to a tougher draw at the Oberlin District, where she eventually grabbed the sixth and final state-qualifying spot. Meanwhile, Hissong beat Mdzinarishvili in the sectional final, giving both better district draws.
"Now I know what the state tournament is like and I know how important it is to come out as a higher seed," Garrity said. "I definitely can compete with those girls.
"It's a realistic goal to win state. It just takes practice and making sure I start perfecting all the little things. It's stuff I can do in practice, but not always in matches."
A left-hander, Garrity has all the shots. She's got an above-average serve, great groundstrokes from both sides and the ability to finish points at the net.
"We just need to work on more mental toughness and maintaining a high level for two or three sets instead of a great four games and a loose three games," Winquist said. "With another year under her, she's going to be a top contender for the second day of the state tournament if she keeps working."
Garrity is not afraid to put in the work. In fact, she loves the training aspect of the sport. She relishes receiving challenges from Winquist or Medina coach Pete Hoffmann, and she takes pride in her fitness level.
The 5-foot-4, 125-pounder also loves to compete, though there are times when her desire to succeed — and please everyone around her — creates added pressure.
"She's a super-sweet girl and an extremely good sport," Hoffmann said. "Sportsmanship is never an issue with her and she's very coachable.
"She's extremely serious on the court. She has that competitive edge, but she needs to relax. Enjoy this. Smile a little bit. She gets very into the moment and maybe puts more pressure on herself than she needs to."
Off the court, Garrity has a great sense of humor.
As part of a high school sociology project, she is volunteering at Kitten Krazy, where she cleans cages and feeds the animals.
On one occasion, she walked by and saw a cat puking on a newspaper that was lining its cage. Upon closer inspection, Garrity discovered the article on that particular page was about her.
"I'm not sure," she said, "but I'm pretty sure it was The Gazette."
Garrity also still dreams of attending the University of California, Berkeley and becoming a film producer, though she's now conflicted by thoughts of a career in physical therapy or sports medicine.
Then there's her affinity for military academies, as she took an unofficial visit to Air Force over the summer and has heard from the Naval Academy.
"I don't even know anymore," Garrity said with a laugh when asked about her future plans. "How many times have I changed my mind, every year? I'm not even going to answer that question, because I'll probably change my mind again as soon as I hang up the phone."
One thing Garrity is certain of is that she wants to continue playing tennis, preferably on a college athletic scholarship.
"I love the competitive aspect of tennis," she said. "That's probably what I love the most. When I'm playing girls I haven't beaten before and get to the third set or make them stay out there as long as possible, make them work, make them hit every winner on me, that's fun.
"When I do better against a girl I've been losing to, that's a win for me. It shows that I'm progressing."

1. Re: ORA-01446 on Interactive query60437 Nov 21, 2008 11:54 PM (in response to CoreyT)If you don't need the single-row view, uncheck that option and it should work.
2. Re: ORA-01446 on Interactive query438381 Nov 22, 2008 12:18 AM (in response to CoreyT)Corey:
Does the table that you are using in the query have a primary key/Unique key ?
If so, you can have APEX use that column as the column instead of 'rowid' to uniquely identify a row in the table
Edited by: varad acharya on Nov 21, 2008 4:18 PM
3. Re: ORA-01446 on Interactive queryCoreyT Nov 22, 2008 8:43 PM (in response to 438381)Thank you both so much for your input. Both worked great. I did the following with success:
Based on Scott suggestion, initially, I disabled the single-row view and that allowed me to enter the query in interactive mode.
Then based on Varad suggestion, I took it a little further and added an alias rowid column (from the inner joined table in the from-clause query). I re-enabled the single-row view and specified this aliased rowid and it works well still.
4. Re: ORA-01446 on Interactive query804111 Jan 1, 2011 1:37 AM (in response to CoreyT)Corey,
Thanks for suggesting the solution. This has been giving me fits while developing my first Apex application. I wasn't able to figure out when I would get the error or how to fix it. I do need the single row views as an application "standard". Since it took me a while to figure out how to do what you suggested, for others, here's specifically what I did.
In an interactive report linking several tables, with subqueries counting child entities with outer joins, I added as the first column in the SELECT statement "acr.rowid MY_ROWID,", where the primary table alias name is "acr".
I also added "acr.rowid MY_ROWID," to the GROUP BY list.
Then in the Report Attributes > Link Column, I linked to a single row view, chose Unique Column, and entered MY_ROWID and everything worked fine.
Tried it in another report that used UNION, and it worked there, too.
I may have run into trouble using lower case in various places. I'm still getting used to how Apex and Oracle SQL are case sensitive some places.
5. Re: ORA-01446 on Interactive query871289 Jun 24, 2011 6:57 PM (in response to 804111)Skip, thank you for adding the additional description and information. I had been beating my head against a wall on this one. Solution worked perfectly.

"Gundress" is a sci-fi anime based on the video game. It is the year 2100 A.D., Bayside City is Japan's premier international port. Angel Arms is a company run by ex-policewoman, Takao. It is composed of six women who use mecha to battle terrorism. When the mayor is killed, Angel Arms has to protect Hassan, a crime lord who has information that may bring down a terrorist ring. But one of them has a shocking connection with Angel Arms member, Alisa.
It's an enjoyable action flick with good animation. The story just needed to develop some of the characters' motivations. It would have been pretty cool if Hassan had been empathized more as a tragic villain who thought he could use the criminal underworld to achieve noble goals, but is punished for it. They could also have explained Alisa's boyfriend's personality change. "Gundress" is a fun action romp for Honolulu sci-fi fans.

I've just installed Ubuntu 12.04.1, and it seems that I have some issues with the launcher: if I hover the mouse on an icon, it shows a horizontal line instead of the icon's name. If I hover it again, then it will show me the correctly displayed name, in label and all. The thing is pretty annoying. First hover no label (just that line), second hover, label.
Video drivers are installed. Any thoughts?

For all of Rihanna's diva-like attributes, you don't really think of her as the torch-song type—her voice isn't that big in the traditional sense, and most of her best songs are more known for their rapturous pop rush than their huge emotional lift. But "Stay," an Unapologetic track debuted by Ri last night during her "SNL" residence, reveals that the singer is certainly capable of such show-stoppers, as the piano-led number sees Rihanna going for the home-run ballad, and mostly connecting.
For the last Rihanna ballad we can remember like this, you have to go back to A Girl Like Me's infidelity cry "Unfaithful," which came off as overwrought and a little bit ridiculous in its drama. This song is more instrumentally understated—just the simple piano melody, some occasional guitar and cymbal flourishes, and subtle cello backing. Mostly it's just Rihanna, not traditionally known for her vocal prowess, but hitting all the right notes here with impressive force and obvious feeling as she sings "Not really sure how to feel about it / Something in the way you move / Makes me feel like I can't live without you / And it takes me all the way / I want you to stay."
We're not going to dive deep into the lyrics and try to figure out how much of it is about Chris Brown yet—for now, we're just going to try to actually enjoy the song, which sounds like it should be a certain highlight on Unapologetic when the album is released a week from Tuesday.
Oh, and she also performed "DIamonds" in a camouflage jacket in front of a weird green-screen backdrop. We like "Stay" better.

In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble." (1 Peter 5:5)
The Bible teaches about God's grace (unmerited favor) and His mercy (not getting what is deserved). The Scriptures states more than once, "God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble."(James 4:6) Pride breeds an arrogant attitude, self sufficiency, and independency of God. A proud person thinks he or she has it all together, but they are in opposition to God. Humility is the characteristic that seeks, depends, and acknowledges God. A humble person receives favor from God and other people.
Jesus is the example of humility for Christians to follow in His footsteps. He, though God, did not present Himself as equal to God. He chose to serve and instead of being served. He was a servant to all mankind. He had favor with God, the Father and man as the Bible states. He walked the Earth as a human being and gave His very life so others could live. He gave the ultimate sacrifice in death so believers could have salvation.
Believers by humility receive God's plan of salvation. They purify their hearts and grieve over sin. They turn from evil and receive grace from God. They live out the verse, "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up."(James 4:10) They become consistent and established in their faith with works of goodness for Christ's sake. God shows them favor and surrounds them with His presence. They are found serving and loving other people especially believers.
Challenge: Is God opposing or favoring you? Consider your ways and change with humility as your attitude. If you are already walking in humility in the Holy Spirit, continue to do the good works planned for you long ago. Amen.

Republican House Speaker John Boehner used strong words to describe President Obama's actions – or non-actions as the Speaker put it – in dealing with the crumbling state of affairs in Iraq. Speaking of the increase in terrorist movement, Boehner said today:
They're 100 miles from Baghdad. And what's the president doing? Taking a nap.
Reports ABC News: "As al Qaeda-linked terrorists wreak havoc across Iraq, House Speaker John Boehner unloaded on President Obama for ignoring the escalating crisis there."
Indeed, any stability gained in the region over the last number of years is rapidly deteriorating.
"It's not like we haven't seen over the last five or six months these terrorists moving in, taking control of Western Iraq. Now they've taken control of Mosul," Boehner said during a news conference Thursday on Capitol Hill. The Speaker has been vocal that the president should get into the game. In January, Boehner publicly urged Obama to "maintain a long-term commitment to a successful outcome" in Iraq, and said the president needs to "get engaged."
With terrorists taking back over key cities that were freed after Saddam Hussein was removed from power, Boehner said the Obama administration is failing to reach any kind of agreement with Iraq regarding their inability to control terrorist insurgency. Beohner said these failings "continue to have serious consequences for Iraq and American interests in the region."
"The president has celebrated our exit from Iraq as a hallmark of his foreign policy agenda but our focus should be instead on completing our mission successfully," Boehner said earlier this year. "I would urge the president once again to get engaged before it's too late."
The Ohio Republican said the rising instability in Iraq has all but destroyed any progress the U.S. made there in over a decade of fighting. Boehner said that at the very least, the U.S. should be providing equipment and technical assistance, if not aerial support.
"The progress made there is clearly in jeopardy," Boehner said.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-California, acknowledged the state of instability in Iraq, but offered a different viewpoint: "What's happening in Iraq is obviously very troubling," she said, adding: "I don't think there's any appetite in our country for us to become engaged in any more military activity in Iraq. It doesn't matter why. It's a fact. The American people have been exhausted with wars."
According to ABC News, "Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has asked his parliament to declare a state of emergency that would give him increased powers, but the lawmakers have not done so."

"Mob Wives" star Alicia DiMichele is ready to move on with her life, good or bad, so the postponement of her sentencing on her embezzlement charges is not something that she wanted. On Friday, Jan. 10, All About The Real Housewives reported on Alicia's explanation and reaction to this new development in her case.
"The judge postponed my sentencing because my restitution issue is not yet resolved. Therefore, she cannot sentence me until that part is settled. They think maybe some time in March I'll be sentenced, but they are not sure. I am beyond frustrated," she told AllAboutTRH.
Alicia is charged with embezzling funds from the trucking company that she co-owned and ran with her husband, Edward "Tall Guy" Garofalo Jr. Edward is already in prison for conspiracy to commit murder and witness tampering. Alicia's attorney claims that the restitution payments that the government wants, $20,000, is "both inappropriate and vastly excessive."
Alicia hasn't been shy about talking about her case on "Mob Wives." She has said during her confessionals that she thought she was doing the accounting for the business right and that she only pleaded guilty to get a lighter sentence.
Do you think Alicia DiMichele embezzled money knowingly?
