Learning how to get a job in IT is no easy feat. Whether you're a fresh graduate straight out of university, have just finished high school and are looking for another kind of entry-level position, or you've had some experience in the IT industry and looking for the next stage in your career, finding an IT job can be quite a challenge. However, there is a process that can be followed – read on to find out how to get a job in IT.
Many countries are experiencing tough job markets at the moment, such as the USA, UK and other European countries.
This makes it harder to find a job, as there are more people competing for less positions. The process to find a job in IT, however, shouldn't change. Let's take a look at what this process is.
How To Get A Job In IT – Before You Start
Before you start looking for a job in IT, it's important to do a few things.
You need to work out what kind of job you want, which is based on several things, such as what you're good at and what you're qualified to do. You should also consider what you like doing as well – there's no point getting a job you don't like! It's a good idea to consider these options before you start your job search, when you're learning how to get a job in IT, so you know what to look for and what can be eliminated.
Finding The Job
The next step on how to get a job in IT is actually finding the job. There are many ways to find a job in IT. Some of the more common methods include:
- Speaking to former colleagues – they often know of other jobs that are going and can be a helpful way of getting a job you're after.
- Job websites – these websites collect job advertisements and allow users to apply for jobs for many companies. I've listed a few of my favourites here.
- Recruitment agencies – these companies match employees with employers based on skills and desires, which takes a lot of the work out of your job search.
Using a combination of methods, including the methods above and any other methods, is a great way to get exposure to more job ads and increase your chances of getting a job in IT. There is an entire section dedicated to finding jobs, including a list of over 50 job board websites and reviews, in the Complete IT Job Guide.
Resumes and CVs
Preparing a resume or CV is a major part of getting a job in the IT industry.
Depending on the country you come from, you may need to prepare a resume, a CV, or the two terms may be used interchangeably. You may already have a resume, which may be up to date or a little old. You might not have a resume, especially if you're a new graduate. Either situation is fine. The next step to getting a job is to create or update your resume to get it to a standard that will get you a job.
The purpose of a resume is to get you an interview with a company. It includes job history, skills, and contact information, and if the resume performs its job well, it should get you an interview. There are many things to consider when preparing a resume , including things you should do and things you shouldn't do:
- Have clear contact information
- Don't make it any longer than 3 pages
- Include your achievements rather than duties under the employment history section
- Use a professional email address
For more information on resumes and CVs, have a look at my IT Resume Results course, which shows you how to create an effective resume, and offers examples of resumes and cover letters.
Social Media
Social media is a relatively new area of the job searching process. The term defines web sites and technologies that have a social component to them. Some of the major ones are Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. They can all be used to your advantage when working out how to get a job in IT.
Setting up a profile on these sites is usually pretty quick, and each of them have their own benefits. They can provide a way for potential employers to find out more about you. They can also open up more possibilities of job advertisements. However, you need to be aware of the privacy settings. If it's on the internet, there's a good chance it can be found by someone, so you need to be careful what you broadcast.
Getting and Having Job Interviews
Job interviews are a chance for the employer to find out more about a candidate, whether they are suitable for the role and how their communication skills are. It also provides candidates with a way to find out if they like the company, to promote themselves even more, and ask any further questions.
The job interview is a major part of the job hunting process, and if you want to know how to get a job in IT, it helps to learn some of the skills and techniques required.
It might seem easy – you just show up, answer some questions, and leave. However, if you want to actually give a good impression and have the best chance of getting a job, it helps to know about the process and learn some tips and techniques for this stage.
I've got two sections in the Complete IT Job Guide dedicated to getting and having job interviews, along with several bonuses such as common interview questions and answers, which can be very helpful in the job hunting process.
Salary and the Job Offer
After you've passed the job interview, you'll receive a job offer from the employer. This will either be a verbal or written offer to start, and will usually then involve an employment contract.
There is often room to negotiate certain areas of the offer, such as salary, hours, bonuses and many other components. Don't be afraid to negotiate a better deal for yourself. This may vary depending on your circumstances, but it's worth trying.
I would recommend doing some research into similar positions before negotiating. It's good to know what similar roles are paying and what they are like, so you can be better informed when going into a negotiation. Try to keep it friendly – you are both interested in the job offer so it shouldn't get messy or personal.
If you want to really give yourself the best chance of getting a higher salary, take my IT Salary Success course. The investment you'll make in that course should pay off with a higher salary in years to come.
Starting the Job
So you've got the job – awesome! The job search process is over, you've worked out how to get a job in IT, but the next stage of your IT career is just beginning.
Keeping your job involves more than just showing up. You need to be good at it. And, if you want to excel at it, to become a good worker, to eventually get promoted or earn more money, you need to do it well.
The early days of a new job can be quite overwhelming as there are a lot of new people and things to learn, but it does get easier. Remember to take notes, ask questions, do a good job and keep learning!
Are you looking for an IT job? How has your search been? Do you have any other questions on how to get a job in IT?

Featured Golf News
Dolly Bogeyton asks, I own a golf course designed in the 1980s. Golfers object to my big mounds, and often wonder why I would want something so obviously artificial. Why were big mounds so popular in that period?
Dolly, for some, big mounding has always been popular.
In golf design, this traces back to the need to dispose of large boulders. Rather than haul them off, they covered them with soil, making unique hazards. As heavy earthmoving became economical in the 1940s, golf course architects expanded mounding, first using it to provide backdrop for greens, and later, mounding more and more the entire length of fairways. Some had purpose like spectator mounds built by the PGA Tour at stadium-style courses.
But, the trend extended to other new, non-tournament courses, usually for one or more of the following reasons
As safety standards expand, but golf course acreage does not, mounding provides an instant barrier between areas that are too tightly spaced.
Good players feel the design should assist holding shots in the fairway, and valley fairways (either natural or artificial) help all golfers, theoretically making courses easier and faster to play.*
As aesthetics and photography increase in value, so has artistic composition and framing golf holes to meet perceived aesthetic ideals. And, while great sites frame holes naturally, most sites, especially those where there will be future housing, require a bit more artificial work.
Green Definition
Greens are both the end point and most important feature of the hole, deserving of increased visual emphasis. If there are no natural cues to its location, mounds behind the green can frame it, provide enclosure and contain slightly missed shots, similar to valley fairways. Overdone, they create a feeling of sameness when each green should be unique, and missing such greens can become tiresome. Missing by only a few yards results in awkward downhill stances, and missing further requires repetitive lob-wedge recovery shots over the mounds, usually from the rough.
Recreate Valley Holes
Many early links holes followed deep valleys. Golfers still love playing holes enclosed below the horizon. It isolates them from other golfers and our built-up world. Moving mountains to recreate this look is often a worthy goal, but most efforts fall well short of nature because there is not enough earth to really make a good copy.
New Look
American culture seemingly values new over traditional, putting pressure on golf designers (among others) to create new styles.
Instant Fairway Separation
The economy of modern earthmoving, the modern need for instant effect and abundance of easy-to-build cornfield sites made mounds a logical choice to divide fairways. Why wait 20 years for trees to grow?
Hiding Cart Paths
Long, subtle ridges can often hide cart paths, if located by the paths or somewhere along the sight line between the tees and paths.
Hiding Tees
A desire to recreate simpler days when courses had only one tee leads designers to create multiple tees at varying angles, using mounds and landscaping to screen each from the other.
Mounds are useful architectural tools and increased course aesthetics at least until designers (including yours truly) got to the point of creating exaggerated earthworks bordering on bizarre moonscapes. They wont and shouldnt ever be displaced in the golf course architect arsenal.
But, after seeing mounds of all descriptions on literally a thousand courses, often very exaggerated, out of place and sometimes downright ridiculous, most architects have either reduced mounding, or have begun creating softer, gentler mounding, by moving more earth to tie more natural-looking earthforms together.
It wouldnt surprise me if the next decade sees mass softening of many ill-conceived mounds built from 1980-2000 (it will be too expensive to haul mounds off) in an effort to increase aesthetics, and reduce both mowing time and irrigation required to keep mounds well-turfed.
Most feel the most aggressive mounding of the late 20th century hasnt aged well, having gone from cutting edge to cut them out in just a few short years.**
*There are no statistics, and there are golfers who fly the mounds, and slow play, since they cant tell direction from the adjacent fairway.
** Of course, we always feel our sense of taste is right on the money, but eventually, some new style will again take hold.

GIRARD - Nobody likes to lose to his or her rival, especially not twice in one season, and this was on Girard's mind Friday night when it hosted Liberty.
Following a loss in the first meeting on Dec. 6, the Indians faced that situation against the Leopards, but the Indians left nothing to chance, pulling away in the second half for a 62-46 win. Girard (9-2, 5-1 All-American Conference, National Division) took the lead on a Jimmy Standohar 3-pointer at the end of the first half and never trailed after that.
"They got us, 87-67, up there and really beat the heck out of us," Girard coach Craig Hannon said. "I think our kids responded well. You don't want to lose to your rivals, especially twice (in the same season)."

Tribune Chronicle / R. Michael Semple
Girard's Evan Standohar (5) drives to the basket as Liberty's Cameron Clark, left, holds his position and Danny Markulin, background, goes after the ball during first-half action on Friday night.
To go along with that buzzer-beating 3, Standohar had a busy night against the Leopards (7-5), as the senior guard dropped a game-high 18 points. His biggest contribution came in the second quarter, when the 5-foot-9 Standohar scored nine points, all in the final four minutes. He hit two shots from beyond the arc and completed a three-point play at the 1:37 mark after being fouled on a floater.
For Standohar, it didn't matter about the points, and he instead pointed to his efforts on the boards, where he grabbed a team-high nine to fall one rebound short of a double-double.
"I just do whatever I can to help my team win," Standohar said. "Tonight, I got a few more rebounds than I usually do. It's just whatever it took tonight. I had to - it was too big of a game."
Liberty started the game dictating the pace with an up-and-down tempo, which allowed the Leopards to take a four-point lead, 23-19, at the 3:10 mark. Eventually, however, Girard slowed down the game, which suited the Indians just fine and really gave them an advantage.
"We wanted to slow the game a little bit," Hannon said. "Last game, they got us in transition a ton, and we never stopped them. They're really good when they get out and run. We just slowed the game down, and I tell you what, our kids executed."
Despite this, Liberty managed to claw back halfway through the third quarter, as Leslie Carter drained a 3-pointer at the 3:54 mark to make Liberty's deficit, 33-31, but that's when Girard started to pull away.
On two-straight possessions, Standohar drove and dished to a wide-open Dylan O'Hara outside of the arc, and the 6-foot-2 junior, who scored 16 points, buried both shots to spark a 16-7 run that stretched into the first minute-and-a-half of the fourth quarter. Liberty never recovered.
"It's great playing with Dylan," Standohar said. "Everyone knows in the area how good of a shooter he is. Anytime I can get him open or if he's left open, it's my job to get him the ball. He's a great shooter."
After the game, Liberty coach Dan Bubon bemoaned his team's struggles on the offensive end. Outside of Asim Pleas' 16 and Cameron Clark's nine points, no Leopard scored more than five.
"Our lack of offense broke our back," Bubon said. "You can't come down and continually not score and not get good shots. It's been our problem all year. If you look at our scores when we lose, we just don't score."
The Indians, meanwhile, continue their strong run through conference play, tied with Campbell and LaBrae atop the AAC, National Division standings. Hannon said his team has a good shot to take the conference crown.
"I like 'em as well as LaBrae and Campbell do," Hannon said. "We beat Campbell, Campbell beats LaBrae and we have to play LaBrae. So, there's a lot of basketball."

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Kathleen Renz, David Renz's mother, said she prays every day for the woman her son killed, the child he raped and their families.
Kathleen Renz spoke following her son's sentencing this morning in Onondaga County Court for murdering Liverpool school librarian Lori Bresnahan and raping a 10-year-old girl March 14, 2013 after abducting them in a parking lot of Great Northern Mall.
"We continue to pray for healing and restoration for the Bresnahan family," Kathleen Renz said.
She said her family was relieved to hear the news that her son would not be subject to a death penalty trial for his crimes. But she said her primary relief was not for herself and her family, but for his victims' families.
The Bresnahan family asked prosecutors not to seek the death penalty to spare the child having to relive her abuse and Bresnahan's death.
"It's a great burden lifted," Kathleen Renz said.
She sat toward the back of the courtroom with other family members when her son was sentenced.
David Renz was living with his mother in Cicero at the time of the attacks.

The shell, therefore, is the part of the command processor that accepts commands. After verifying that the commands are valid, the shell sends them to another part of the command processor to be executed.

FLINT, MI—It's the story you've known all your life, and yet it isn't.
Flint Youth Theatre is performing Peter Pan, the classic story by J.M. Barrie, and while audience members can expect to see many of the things they'll expect—Peter and Wendy, the Lost Boys, Captain Hook—there are some parts that may not seem so familiar.
"It's always a bit of a risk. It goes back to this thing about conventions. In a way we're not tinkering with anything at all because we're doing the original play, but so few people know what the original play contains," said Jeremy Winchester, executive artistic director of FYT, who is directing the play.
When asked how he planned to compete with some of the more classic adaptations of the play, like the 1953 Walt Disney adaptation people may be more familiar with, Winchester laughed and said he tried not to think about them.
He said for this production he stuck closely to the original script and worked in some elements from the novel "Peter Pan," also by J.M. Barrie.
"It's a bit of an open question of how people will receive it, but I think they will be pleasantly surprised by how richly layered this original version in fact is," Winchester said.
That original version, Winchester said, wasn't necessarily targeted at children. He likens it to present-day Pixar films like Wall-E, that, while fun for kids, also are entertaining and meaningful for adults.
"I think people will be surprised at the danger in the story. Pirates are scary. Barrie's pirates are scary," Winchester said. "When Captain Hook's pirates are after the lost boys, it's not to give them a good scare. It's to kill them."
Elizabeth Taylor, 21, of Flint, is playing Wendy in the production. When she was in high school, she also performed in Peter Pan.
"Ours was completely like the Disney version, and when I read this script I was really confused,"she said. "They both have their merit. I appreciate our version because it is true to the book."
Joshua Clark, 23, of Mt. Morris, is playing the role of Peter Pan. He said he too was surprised when he read Barrie play and novel of "Peter Pan."
"I went back and read the original novel and went, whoa. ... For me, it's a tragedy," he said.
It's easy to think of all the fun one can have with the care-free life of a boy who never grows up, but when learning more about his character, Clark said he came to some unexpected conclusions.
"We forgive him because he's a child, but the way Peter Pan thinks, if you put that in an adult, that's Captain Hook," he said.
But that doesn't mean there's no humor, and they certainly are having fun.
"The biggest thing for me in this production is just how fun the kids are," Clark said.
With a cast and crew of about 40 people, about 30 of which are under 18 and seven are university apprentices, Clark said they've been having a blast.
The second most fun thing for Clark: Flying.
FYT brought in a special company to install rigging so that Clark and other cast members could fly around Bower Theatre.
"It's the coolest thing I've done theatrically," Clark said. "It's a blast. When you get more people in the air it's gets a little hectic, dodging lights and wires, but it's fun."
Performances are at the following dates and times:
July 13, 7:30 p.m.
July 14, 7:30 p.m.
July 20, 2:30 p.m. 7:30 p.m.
July 21, 7:30 p.m.
July 26, 2:30 p.m.
July 27, 7:30 p.m.
July 28, 2:30 p.m., 7:30 p.m.
An opening night reception will follow the July 13 performance and a conversation with the creative team will follow the July 14, 22 and 27 shows. All shows are at Bower Theatre, located at 1220 East Kearsley Street.

Babies become fatter when spoon-fed
Parents who choose to spoon feed their babies may find their little ones grow fatter as a result. New research from Nottingham University has shown that weaning infants on pureed food, such as mashed up fruits and vegetables, can give them a sweeter tooth than if their first experience of eating relates to finger food.
According to the investigation, toddlers who are raised on solid foodstuffs are more likely to develop healthier eating habits and therefore less prone to becoming overweight as they grow up.
Published by BMJ Open, the report showed babies who have the opportunity to feed themselves often prefer satiating carbohydrates - such as toast - as a consequence.
Co-author of the study Dr Nicola Pitchford said: "Baby-led weaning has a positive impact on the liking of foods that form the building blocks of healthy nutrition, such as carbohydrates."
She added this way of feeding serves to promote healthy meal choices in early years that could prevent obesity in later life.
Dr Ellen Townsend, who led the reseach, said: "We found a large, robust effect between groups - baby-led versus spoon-fed - in parental reporting of their child's liking for carbohydrates.
"The baby-led group liked these foods significantly more than the spoon-fed group - even when a Bonferroni adjustment for multiple comparisons was applied."
Dr Gillian Greville-Harris, a Chartered Psychologist, said: "This is a timely paper given the current recommendations that baby-led weaning is often advocated by NHS health workers as the optimal weaning strategy.

Woodchucks know how to live.
During winter they sleep.
Then they summer on the waterfront.
For at least three years woodchucks have found their digs downtown, burrowing dens along the Amtrak rail corridor that runs between the I-190 south and the Niagara River. They have been seen foraging for food in LaSalle Park, at the foot of Porter Avenue, along Michigan Avenue – and in the gardens and lawns of some waterfront condos.
"They ate all my flowers," said Cynthia Mathews of Lakefront Boulevard. "That's why I haven't been doing any gardening. Every time I put a bulb in the ground it disappeared. They've killed all but one of my rosebushes. I just surrendered everything to them."
It's not uncommon for woodchucks to find their way to urban areas, said one regional wildlife manager.
"I think they hitched a ride on the railroad right of way," said Mark Kandel, regional wildlife manager for the state Department of Environmental Conservation. "It's probably taken awhile for woodchuck generations to leapfrog in from the surrounding suburbs. Their young get pushed out of the den and have to start on their own so that's how they leapfrog their way downtown. We have these nice corridors of habitat along the railroads as well as some of the utility overhead lines."
The woodchuck, also known as groundhog, or whistle pig, is one of the largest members of the squirrel family. They are herbivores and range in weight from 5 to 12 pounds. Woodchucks spend the summer and fall raising their young and fattening up for their winter siesta. They rarely stray far from their den, said Kandel.
"It's their security," he said. "When they're threatened they head for the hole. When they're feeding, as they are now, you would not expect them to venture more than 50 feet from the den. Woodchucks are not big travelers."
Woodchucks are not the only animal to find their way to downtown Buffalo. Deer are not unusual. And ring-necked pheasants were a frequent flier downtown during the '70s, '80s and '90s, said Kandel.
"We used to have quite a few ring-necked pheasants right along the 190 and the railroad where ragweed produces seed that woodchucks feed off," said Kandel. "We've even had turkeys come in on the railroad. A few years ago, a black bear was hit by a car on the 190 near Smith Street. Bears from the south of the city follow the utility lines. The clearing is fifty yards wide and makes great travel corridors for wildlife."
Loren Smith is executive director of the Buffalo Audubon Center. With offices at the Beaver Meadow Audubon Center in North Java, Smith said he often sees woodchucks, especially on his commute to North Java from Amherst on Route 400.
Woodchucks in downtown Buffalo, Smith said, are a good sign for a number of reasons.
"It could be seen as an indication that the river is getting healthier, which is good," Smith said. "The river corridor is undergoing a transition from industrial to recreational with open green space.
"One year it's skunks, one year it's possums," said Smith. "In general we're seeing more wildlife in Buffalo as the human population goes down and as green space increases. Some people may see them as nuisances, and they may be in specific instances, but in general it's a positive sign."
In populated areas, woodchucks will often live beneath stone walls, woodpiles or porches. Their burrows – 8 to 66 feet long and 2 to 5 feet deep – normally have two or three entrances, said Meaghan Boice-Green, director of Reinstein Woods Nature Preserve, Cheektowaga. Woodchucks often are drawn to lush lawns. "The grass is literally greener on the other side of the fence," Kandel said. "The woodchucks know that. They figure it out."
Nathan Phillips-Frey has lived on Lakefront Boulevard for more than decade. Just last week, he said, he saw a woodchuck in his backyard, which abuts the rail corridor.
"I thought it was a rabbit lying on our back lawn, and it was a woodchuck sunning himself," Phillips-Frey said. "Then he squirmed under the fence, crossed the tracks and went into his den." Residents are warned against approaching a woodchuck, who may make a whistling sound to signal his alarm.
"Woodchucks are not aggressive," said Kandel. "Generally they will flee to their den at the first sign of trouble. Legally, a landowner can trap them, but the landowner would then need permission to release them at a preserve. Woodchucks are not protected wildlife, but you can't just dump them on someone else's property, including public property," said Kandel.
Last year, Mathews said she called the City of Buffalo's non-emergency help line – 311 – to seek help with her woodchuck problem.
"I called the city and they came out," said the retired school principal. "I had a big woodchuck hole in my yard, and they put traps down."
Steven Stepniak, city commissioner of public works, confirmed 50 active calls to 311 from residents complaining of woodchucks.
"Our guys have 311 to remove woodchucks," said Stepniak. "Waterfront Village is one of the areas where we've been trapping. Also the foot of Porter and LaSalle Park."
Members of the city's Animal Control Unit are certified trappers under DEC guidelines, said Stepniak.
"We trap and euthanize in accordance to DEC regulations," he added.
"There have been more calls for woodchucks than in the two previous years," said Stepniak. "The numbers are up in the area, and we're thinking favorable winters are a big factor."
The City of Buffalo Call and Resolution Center can be reached by dialing 311 or 851-4890. Hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday. During periods when the center is closed, email at firstname.lastname@example.com">firstname.lastname@example.com or leave a message online at http://www.city-buffalo.com/311.

Getting to Arkansas
I didn't see much orange on my plane today, but that was probably because most Auburn fans were wise enough to fly into Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport. For reasons I no longer remember, I booked a direct flight from Atlanta to Fort Smith, which is about one hour away from Fayetteville. (Perhaps it was cheaper).
Arkansas is the only SEC road trip that requires flying. The Atlanta airport is usually the only viable option for those of us who live in Auburn, and it's such a hassle to endure that driving seems much easier by comparison.
I always get a kick out of the TSA people at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport. It's not that they're rude or surly. Generally, they're friendly. But they yell. A lot. Sometimes for no particular reason. I think I was directed into three different lines by three different (yelling) people.
One TSA employee with a sense of humor belted out the first words of "This is How We Do It" - the classic R&B hit by Montell Jordan - before enumerating all the rules and regulations. Not one passenger cracked a smile.
My pick
I wrestled with my pick this week before eventually settling on Auburn. Surprisingly, all of my beat writer colleagues agreed. (Maybe it's a good thing that I didn't become the lone writer to pick the Hogs).
I think Auburn is the better team, but road games are always unpredictable. Plus, something that Auburn defensive coordinator Will Muschamp said this week has stuck in my mind. Muschamp pointed out that not one defense has been able to shut down Arkansas' offensive attack this year. When Arkansas has lost, it's because the Razorbacks have been outscored.
Can Auburn's offense do that? Perhaps. But there won't be much margin for error.
FINAL SCORE: Auburn 24, Arkansas 23.

Home › Health & Behavior › Behavior & Discipline
Ask the Experts
By Joe Connolly, Consulting Educator
My husband and I have raised six children, ages 14-26. Now our two teenage girls, ages 15 and 17, are giving us a lot of problems. They are starting to have a lot of guys calling our home. They're starting to fib a lot and now I found out they've missed a lot of school. This is hurting my husband and me. We live in a nice home in a nice area - clean house, food galore. We're Christians who raised them well, so why are they doing this to us? We talk and listen to them. We laugh and play around with them and we discipline them, but they still do this. We have meetings with the school officials, and they went outside one time and came back two days later. What can happen when our teens behave like this, even though they are really good teens? What will the school do and what will other agencies do to us and our teens? Help!
I certainly empathize with your situation as it seems you have many issues to consider. Let's start by addressing your last two questions. How the school handles this situation depends on your school and district. However, truancy laws will dictate much of that decision. If the girls are missing too much school, the school could get other agencies involved, but that usually happens only in extreme circumstances. I would recommend that you work closely with the school and the school district if you feel the girl's absences are becoming an issue. Stay ahead of this.
The fibbing that you refer to could be a sign of a few things. It is completely normal for most teens to try to stretch the truth at times. It doesn't make it right, but knowing this can sometimes ease your frustration. The lying could be something as simple as your children not wanting to hurt or disappoint you. Instead of telling you the truth they may be trying to protect you from the truth. It is also possible that your girls are afraid of your reaction. When teens know that mom or dad will "go crazy" if they told the truth, they are less likely to be honest with us when they do something wrong. They do not see any benefit in being truthful. Take a good look at the way you react to a situation when they do something you don't approve of. Changing the way you handle the situation may help to improve their lying.!
Missing a lot of school is a red flag to me that something is going on. I would strongly recommend that you contact the school counselors as soon as possible. Find out what they think and ask them how they plan to help with the situation. Be open to suggestions they make and don't be afraid to implement them. You might also consider seeking the guidance of an independent professional counselor.
One of the things you must not do is to take this personally. You ask, "…Why are they doing this to us?" The reality is that they are not doing anything to you. It does seem like they are acting out and misbehaving in ways that you need to address. But, as long as you feel like your girls are deliberately trying to hurt you it is unlikely you'll be able to help them in the most appropriate way.
Your girls' actions sound like it could be a cry for independence. Your 17-year old is very close to being old enough to live on her own. From your description, it sounds like these are your two youngest, so it's possible they also see the freedom their older siblings have and yearn for something similar.
It could also mean that because these are your last two children you have slacked off a little in your discipline. This is a completely normal progression, but one that may not be best for your girls. You may be doing this without even realizing it. Ask your older children what they think of your current parenting style. It may help you make some positive changes.
Your situation sounds like it has you at your wits' end. If so, I would strongly recommend that you seek the advice of a professional counselor to help you with the situation. Good luck.
Advice from our experts is not a substitute for professional diagnosis or treatment from a health-care provider or learning expert familiar with your unique situation. We recommend consulting a qualified professional if you have concerns about your child's condition.

BioShock is flying off store shelves. It has all the hallmarks of a classic: a creepy dystopian setting, a fully interactive world, terrifying enemies, and a slew of kick-ass power-ups. Borrowing liberally from Ayn Rand, this shooter has had the press drooling ever since its debut at E3 2006, where it won 17 awards. A Google search turns up 18.4 million results. It's racking up top honors on both the PC and Xbox 360, garnering an average review score of 9.9.
Behind the game that's got critics grinning, behind the innovative mix of body-altering plasmids, moral ambiguities, and wit-testing brutality is creator Ken Levine. But like the rest of us, Levine is just searching for the next great game to play. The real secret to his success is that, indeed, there is no big secret: He's making it up as he goes.
This doesn't prevent him from behaving like any proud father. He's unashamed to speak -- at length -- about BioShock's critical reception, about the nonstop preorders, and about just how awesome it is.
BioShock may thematically resemble 1984 or Blade Runner, but The Shining inspires its eerie, timeless setting.
A New York native, Levine studied drama at Vassar College. At the time the school didn't offer a dedicated writing curriculum, so he spent his collegiate years acting in and writing plays. As anyone who's experienced his games knows, Levine is, at his core, a storyteller. And his hope was to sling his tales in Hollywood.
At 21, he managed to procure an agent, though he had never actually written a screenplay. "I just sort of pulled it out of my butt and wrote what I thought was cool," he recalls. Although Levine describes the effort -- a light comedy he wrote about his family -- as a disaster, the agent thought it had potential. He was hired to write a script.
When discussing BioShock's story, Levine often points out it's one of the few games that wasn't influenced by The Lord of the Rings or Aliens -- it's a pitfall he calls the seventh-grade-notebook problem. "A lot of game designers have a world they've been working on since they were sitting in math class," he explains. Influenced by LOTR, these kids created their own fantasy world and characters. They are desperate to tell their story -- even at the sacrifice of player interest. "You'll see this when you start a game where they've hired Anthony Hopkins, Brian Cox, or somebody with an English accent...there's a long oratory, 'In the beginning...,' that makes you want to kill yourself in the middle of [it]."
Instead, Levine designs the core game mechanics before he worries about such minute details. When constructed around gameplay, the finished title tends to be a unified whole. This way, it isn't dragged off course by preconceived plot points. "You can really save a story with the details," he muses. "It's much harder to save a game design."
Before the trademark antagonists, the Big Daddies and Little Sisters, that are so central to BioShock, Irrational had one concept: different A.I. classes. At BioShock's core would be an aggressor that hunts players, a resource gatherer, and a protector of that gatherer. With these basic elements, the team started brainstorming. It realized the relationship between the gatherer and the protector needed to be implicit. As a model, the father-daughter relationship was an obvious and universal choice. From there, Irrational built the world and its inhabitants. "It sort of spread out like tentacles," says Levine.

Though I told you last month that "Scrubs" newbie Eliza Coupe (aka Denise/"Jo") would probably be the only intern returning to the series reboot in some regular capacity, the news has now been confirmed.
Coupe joins fellow series regulars Donald Faison and John C. McGinley, who will stay on as professors in "Scrubs"' new medical school setting.
Show insiders tell me Coupe's character — who may or may not still be struggling to soften that gruff bedside manner — will likely win the position of chief resident, perhaps schooling the young med students in her oh-so-sensitive ways. Though she won't appear in every episode of the upcoming season, she will be an integral part of several.
Casting is currently underway for a few other series regular roles, including one recognizable name.
Though "Gilmore" girl Lauren Graham was once at the top of the wish list, I'm told that isn't happening. Any thoughts on who would be a good fit for the "Scrubs" family?
The more I hear about this "Scrubs" makeover, the more I'm looking forward to it.
Just think… If Dr. Cox or Turk or even Denise/"Jo" step up in a big way, and a few dynamic new ducklings are brought in, there's really no reason the new "Scrubs" couldn't be the new "Frasier."
And, yeah, I loved me some "Frasier."

The fossilized shells neatly arranged on the huge coffee table in Dr. Thomas Holbrook's office are relics of the past in more ways than one. "I used to walk at noon every day," recalls Holbrook, 57, gazing through his office window at the rolling Wisconsin hills, "until I found a fossil better than the one I'd found the day before." Sometimes, he adds, "I'd be gone for hours."
Holbrook's compulsive fossil-hunting was not the pursuit of an archeology buff, but of a man struggling with anorexia. For 12 years, Holbrook exercised obsessively—sometimes walking for up to eight hours a day—and eventually limited his daily food intake to a single salad. By 1988, the 6-ft.-tall psychiatrist weighed just 135 lbs. "I was terrified," he says, "of being fat."
New evidence suggests that thousands of men feel the same way. "It used to be that we considered 1 in 10 anorectics to be men," notes Holbrook, who is the coauthor of a new book, Making Weight: Men's Conflicts with Food, Weight, Shape & Appearance. But a recent study puts that ratio at 1 in 6 and "that's probably a better picture. We don't know if the number itself is increasing. Perhaps men are simply more willing to talk about it."
Since 1997, Holbrook has been encouraging men to do just that. Director of the eating disorder center at Rogers Memorial Hospital in rural Oconomowoc, Wis., Holbrook is a pioneer in the relatively uncharted terrain of male eating disorders. "Tom's book is a watershed experience for the field," says Dr. Craig Johnson, president-elect of the national advocacy group Eating Disorders Awareness and Prevention. "I think it will destigmatize this for men."
For now, though, "the denial is even thicker" for men than women, says Holbrook, whose patients sometimes don't admit they have a problem until their 40s. "It's hard for them to accept that they care so much about how their bodies look."
Holbrook's residential treatment program, which can last up to six months based upon individual needs, slowly introduces patients to healthy eating, along with group and individual therapy. The men-only environment and Holbrook's openness about his own experiences are critical as well. "It made me feel less alone as a man dealing with this problem," says one patient, a California graduate student and recovering bulimic. "He has an understanding of things that I don't think is achievable if you haven't been there."
Having been there and back, Holbrook traces his struggles with food to lifelong insecurities. "My experience —and it's at the heart of the eating-disorder issue—is that I was never adequate," says the youngest of three children of a Milwaukee insurance agent, who battled alcoholism before committing suicide in 1975, and his society matron wife. "I'd stare at Charles Atlas and fantasize that I was that big and powerful. My father was always proud of his physical strength, and I never felt I measured up."
Before graduating from Baylor College of Medicine in 1970, Holbrook married high school sweetheart Jane Ewens, now 56, and the couple had two children: Ben, 26 and a member of the National Rowing Team, and Sarah, 23, a recent college graduate. By the mid-'80s, Holbrook says, his eating disorder was consuming so much of his time and energy that "the effect on my marriage was tremendous." He was divorced in 1989 and five years later married Joan Caley, 54. Last February, that marriage too ended in divorce. "My issues played a part," he admits. "I was not as emotionally available as I might have been."
Since self-diagnosing his disorder in 1988 ("I thought of the symptoms of anorexia and I knew I had them all"), Holbrook has achieved a healthy weight of 170 lbs. Getting to that point "was a struggle," he says. "There wasn't any formal treatment for men back then. But I was motivated."
So too are the 80 men who have participated in his program so far. "I'm amazed at how candid they can be, how they can allow others to comfort them," he says proudly. "They connect, in a way they haven't before."

*** FontNuke OS X 10.11 El Capitan update now available! ***
Go HERE for information on enabling apps from unidentified developers.
A FREE tool for removing font cache files on Mac OS X Mac OS X. Fonts. Font Caches. ERRR! Having the aforementioned as part of my daily grind, enough is enough and frustration sets in! So I made a tool to make my life easier.
Solution? FontNuke.
FontNuke is a free utility application for Mac OS X 10.4.x+ (Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite, El Capitan) that removes corrupt and troublesome font cache files. I created this application as a tool for my personal use at the office, and has become very useful for me. To grant individual non-admin users the ability to remove font cache files, without my involvement--is HUGE! Not to mention intelligent application quitting, plus a GUARANTEED reboot, makes my life easier. FontNuke removes system font caches (Mac OS X font cache files), Adobe font caches (*.lst), Microsoft Office font caches, and now also (as of version 1.1.9) ALL versions of QuarkXPress font cache files.
I formerly had shell scripts installed on my clients, and would log in via SSH, then execute my cache removal script each and every time the clients had a font issue. That gets old fast, so rather than continue to work that way, I assembled FontNuke.
I made this application for myself, and I'm just posting it here to share. On top of the fact I like free things, so hey...why not keep it free! If FontNuke is useful to anyone else, please--help yourself. I take no responsibility for any products of misuse.
FontNuke has been an indispensable tool for me. Especially as a sysadmin with non-admin users experiencing font cache issues. Empowering users with tools to remain productive is what I'm all about.
I have recently added an option which purges spotlight indexes on startup volume from /.Spotlight-V100. This has been added due to some intermittent unresponsiveness when searching network volumes for some of my MCX clients.
NOTE: Please use this feature (Reset Spotlight) with caution. This feature will purge all Spotlight indexes without a forced rebuild. This is recommended ONLY if you understand fully the contents of /.Spotlight-V100. Volume re-indexing may take minutes to several hours.

Washington, D.C.— Today, Think Progress launched an effort to tell the Department of Justice to investigate Rupert Murdoch and possible illegal acts by News Corporation and their subsidiaries. Allegations that Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation bribed police officers and tapped phones, both abroad and potentially in the United States, may violate U.S. law.
Think Progress is collecting signatories from readers and will send the following letter to Attorney General Eric Holder:
Attorney General Holder:
We are writing to express our concerns of potential corrupt practices by News Corporation. Specifically, there are credible reports that News Corp subsidiaries bribed police offers to obtain information about former Prime Minister Gordon Brown and others. Further, there are reports that News Corp subsidiaries hacked into voicemails of politicians, celebrities, and murder victims. Some of this activity may have even occurred on U.S. soil. Although initial reports focused on the U.K. paper News of the World, recent reports suggest that this disturbing conduct extended to several other News Corp properties.
Given the seriousness of these allegations, we ask that you immediately begin an investigation of all entities controlled by News Corp, including domestic subsidiaries such as Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, and the New York Post.
The purpose of the investigation should be to determine whether any conduct by News Corp, domestically or abroad, violated The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (15 U.S.C. §§ 78dd-1, et seq.), the Electronic Privacy Communications Act (18 U.S.C. § 2510-2522) or any other applicable U.S. laws.

It's been awhile since I've traveled outside the country [3], but I do like to take frequent trips in the United States. Whenever you travel, it's a good idea to make sure that you are protected. This means that you need to have adequate insurance coverage.
There are different types of insurance coverage available for travelers, and you need to carefully consider your needs before deciding what will be required for your trip.
What Will You Be Doing?
First of all, figure out what you will be doing. The needs of someone who is whitewater rafting in South America, or climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, are different from someone headed to Disney World. Figure out what you will be doing, and where you will be doing it. If you are engaging in adventure travel, you might need emergency medical evacuation coverage. On the other hand, if you are just enjoying a leisurely trip through New Zealand, what you already have might be sufficient for medical problems.
Also, consider your travel arrangements. Have you pre-paid for a specific tour? What happens if your flight is cancelled? Will you be renting a car? If you are paying a lot of money for your plans, trip cancellation insurance might be a good idea — just in case. I rarely buy trip cancellation insurance for short plane rides, since they aren't as expensive. However, for major trips, I buy insurance for a relatively small fee.
What Coverage Do You Already Have?
Next, figure out what coverage you already have. Call your health insurance provider, and explain where you are going, and what you hope to do there. If you are staying stateside, you'll want to make sure that there are in-network providers nearby. One of the reasons that my family is insured by BlueCross BlueShield is that we can visit my husband's family in New York, or my grandpa in Arizona, and there are in-network providers that cost less than out-of-network providers.
If you are traveling abroad, find out what your health insurance company will cover. Your policy might cover basic medical attention in some countries, and might even cover emergency evacuation — if you aren't involved in anything dangerous at the time of the accident. It's worth it to check the health care policies of other countries, too, since some of the developed countries offer universal health care that won't cost you anything (others, though, have citizenship requirements).
Be up front about dangerous activities, such as rafting, mountain climbing, zip-lining, and other extreme/adventure sports. You should also realize that if you are visiting an undeveloped country or a remote location, you might have to purchase extra insurance to cover you in the event of a rescue. A helicopter ride out of the Himalayas can be quite expensive if you don't have the insurance to cover it.
Realize, too, that your credit card issuer might already be covering you. Some cards cover rental cars [4], and you might already have lost baggage coverage. Sometimes, you even have trip cancellation if you make your purchase with the credit card. Double check your benefits to see what is available to you.
You want to ensure that you are properly protected when you travel. Consider your needs, and then purchase the insurance that will address them.

How's this for a festive red and green dinner? This meal tasted fantastic and was really easy to make. Because of the festive colours, I think this would make a great meal to serve to guests during the holidays. It was so good, I made it twice in one week. I never do that. Never. The recipe I found used pomegranate juice for the pork chops, but I had a beautiful ripe pomegranate in the fridge, so I used the seeds instead. It was delicious and I can't imagine it any other way. You'll definitely want to try this recipe.
For the pork chops:
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
4 4oz boneless pork loin chops
2 tsp olive oil
1 large shallot, chopped
seeds from 1 pomegranate
1 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
Heat the oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Combine the first three ingredients and sprinkle on both side of the pork chops. Place the pork chops in the skillet and cook until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Set aside and cover with aluminum foil.
Add the shallots to the pan and cook 45 seconds, stirring constantly. Add the pomegranate seeds, sugar and vinegar and bring to a boil. Cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Serve with the pork.
For the green beans:
3/4 lb green beans, trimmed
1 Tbsp butter
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Cook green beans in boiling water until crisp-tender. Drain and set aside. In a large skillet melt the butter, add the garlic and saute until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Toss with the green beans, salt and pepper.

Erie man charged in trespassing incident
An Erie man is in jail on criminal trespass and public drunkenness charges after city police accused him of repeatedly trying to enter strange homes on Monday night.
Edward A. James, 31, of the 500 block of East Fourth Street, is accused of entering an apartment in the 1300 block of East Seventh Street on Monday at about 10:20 p.m. and confronting the resident, who was watching television. The resident didn't know James and told him to leave, according to the criminal complaint.
Police said James also tried to enter three other residences, but was stopped by the people who live there, according to the complaint.
James was arraigned this morning by Erie 2nd Ward District Judge Paul Urbaniak and was placed in the Erie County Prison on $25,000 bond.

|Cato Policy Analysis No. 372
|June 7, 2000
by Darcy Olsen
Darcy Olsen is director of education and child policy at the Cato Institute.
Executive Summary
In the 2000 State of the Union Address, President Clinton proposed the largest-ever federal expenditure on afterschool programs, saying, "Let's double our investments in afterschool and summer school programs, which boost achievement and keep people off the streets and out of trouble." Supporters of afterschool programs include child care professionals who believe young children need more supervision, educators who believe children need more academic instruction, and politicians who believe teens need more structured afterschool activities. Such beliefs, however, reflect a misunderstanding of important facts.
According to data from the U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Bureau of the Census, and the National Child Care Survey, few children spend time unsupervised. Research indicates that only 2 percent of children aged 5 through 12 regularly care for themselves after school. In addition, the best available evidence indicates that the supply of afterschool programs far exceeds the demand for them. The National Study of Before- and After-School Programs found a surplus of afterschool programs nationwide, with enrollments averaging only 59 percent of capacity. Finally, evidence does not support the contention that opening more afterschool programs will boost academic achievement or reduce delinquency.
The administration's request to fund afterschool programs is only a small part of a plan to expand the role of public schools. For example, the centerpiece of the administration's afterschool proposal is $1 billion for the federal 21st Century Community Learning Center program. The program's purpose is to turn public schools into "learning centers" that, in addition to regular education, provide afterschool care and at least four other services ranging from parent training and daycare to job training and health programs. Funding for afterschool programs is a down payment on a more expansive government-run school system.
Given the widely acknowledged failure of many government schools to carry out their primary duty--to educate students--the administration's proposal for expanding the schools' responsibilities is exactly the wrong approach. Instead of funding the expansion of government schools, state legislators should adopt universal tuition tax credits that would give parents full latitude to select their children's schools, including independent schools, with or without afterschool programs. Finally, Congress should cease funding afterschool programs.

NEW ORLEANS, Ala. -- A federal judge on Friday postponed until June the murder trial of Thomas Judson Poole IV, who is accused of killing Michael Gene Holman in an offshore melee aboard a Bon Secour-based fishing boat in October.
In a joint motion filed earlier this month in New Orleans federal court, prosecutors and the public defenders assigned to Poole said they needed more time to negotiate a plea deal that could preclude a trial.
A spokeswoman for the New Orleans U.S. Attorney's office said that the judge handling the case approved the lawyers' request to delay the proceedings, which were scheduled to begin Monday, until June 14.
Poole, 44, has been jailed in New Orleans since Oct. 7. That's when he was arrested 18 miles south of Louisiana aboard the 37-foot fishing vessel Miss Sharlott after being accused of stabbing the ship's captain to death.
Federal investigators say that Holman, whose father owned the boat, hired Poole, who lived in the outskirts of Foley, as a deckhand. Those two and another man shoved off Sept. 30 from Billy's Seafood on the Bon Secour River and Holman and Poole began bickering almost immediately, according to investigators.
The fighting came to a head early on the ship's seventh day at sea, investigators say, when Poole wielded a knife and attacked the captain in the ship's wheelhouse. When the melee was over Holman lay dying of several stab wounds and Poole had badly lacerated palms.
Investigators say the third fisherman told them he saw Poole slice his own hands.
Since Poole's arrest much of the public records in the case have centered on Poole's wounds, which public defender Valerie Welz Jusselin wrote in a court filing, have gone without treatment despite a judge's orders for such and have caused the defendant to lose the use of some fingers.
Holman, who lived in Alabama off and on as well as in coastal Mississippi, where Miss Sharlott was registered, was a native of Panama City, Fla.

So with regular expressions you can define match patterns as
conditions for message
routing. These patterns can be connected
with logical "OR" or "AND". If the pattern is matched then the message
will be sent out to the destination on the
defined route. Please check our examples on this page.
For example, a regular expression is provided as a condition to the
recipient telephone numbers beginning with "310" or "311" in the following way:
If you enter /^(310|311).*/ in the Condition 2 line, then
if the phone number of the recipient matches the directives of this condition;
so if the phone number of the recipient starts with "310"
or "311" (and "310" or "311" can be followed by any digit) the outgoing
SMS messages will be sent out using the SMPP connection. In this way,
this rule will be met in case of phone numbers: "3101234" and "3112345"
but it is not matched in case of "06303101234" phone number.
Figure 1 - Recipient phone number begins with 310 or 311
If you use international telephone number format (starts with
"+"), you can use the following regular expression: /^[+]*(310|311).*/
Among regular expressions, by default there is an "AND"
connection. Therefore, the provided values are connected by "AND" connection.
If you provide a regular expression as a condition, there will be an
"AND" connection among its elements.
For example, if the
text of the outgoing message starts with "John" and ends with "Smith",
then messages will be sent out through the installed GSM modem.
This condition will be matched both in case of the message of "John Smith"
and "John Edward Smith". But if the text of the message is "Smith
John" then this condition will not be met (Figure 2).
Figure 2 - The message starts with "John" and ends with "Smith"

Before, getting a great writer was a little tough and exhausting. You would have to spend a ton of time going through a bunch of resumes in hopes of finding a few to test out. The selected few then are tried and tested, only for you to realize that there is only a small percentage worth giving your time to. Once you have narrowed it down to one or two that you are willing to hire, you end up finding that they cannot endure the longevity of your needs. This means you would have to go through the process of finding a content writer again. Not only would you be wasting your valuable time in finding someone who fits your needs, but also your money in those who won't stay with you throughout your project.
However, with the introduction of the internet and online money making ways, finding a great writer just became easier. There are several websites looking to provide businesses in need of high quality writing with writers who can get the job done right and fast. For just a fraction of the price it would cost you to get a full-time writer on your team, you can get a bunch of writers to provide you with the kind of quality writing you need. This means you are saving on time and money and as an business owner or leader, you will have more time to get more clients who need articles or content writing done. You definitely are saving money and gaining profit!
Websites like www.highqualitywriting .com is the perfect place to find the content writer for you. In fact, you will be able to find more than just one writer to make sure that your writing project is done with quality and speed. Best of all, you won't have to pay anything for writing that you don't approve of. If a content writer submits a project to you done poorly, you can just reject the article and have another writer do the job. Should you ever need to post for another project or job, you also have the option to invite writers of your choice to write for you again. The power to choose your writing team is in your hands.
If you are a content writer, the great thing about High Quality Writing is the fact that you can choose the articles you want to write. If there is a topic you are familiar with, be the first to snatch it up! You don't need to waste your time researching the topic only to run out of time during your writing. There is no limit to how many number of articles or projects you can write either! If you don't have a lot of time to spare, you can just choose one or two articles to write. However, if you have a lot of free time on your hands, go wild in picking the topics you want to write about. Remember, the more you write, the more you earn!
You will also be rated for all your writing submissions. The higher you are rated, the bigger the chance of a project will be handed to you. Have requesters or businesses look for you to do their project. Let everyone know just how talented you are as a content writer.
An amazing content writer will also have the ability to earn a little extra just for writing superbly. If you can write five consecutive articles in a row with a rating of five stars, High Quality Writing will award you an additional $5.00 for your hard work. Being a great writer will not only make you money online, but your quality will also be paid off. This will increase your chance of finding a solid client to make you their go-to content writer. You will never be without work!
Because of all the information provided on the internet today, it is easy for writers to just copy and paste information together to give you the information you need. However, if you approve an article with this kind of work, you will be violating copyright laws. High quality writing ensures that each content writer will only provide unique and quality writing. Any project that is written for you by any writer will be checked using Copyscape. This means that the articles you approve are 100% original and unique. You will not be hit with any copyright violations.
Whether you are a content writer or requester, you won't have to worry about payments being put through because it will be secured by Paypal. Requesters will be able to add credit to their accounts when needed. For writers, you will receive 90% of the payment from requesters. The rest of the money will be paid to Copyscape for checking the content of your writing, Paypal fees in securing your payment and the high quality writing website to maintain the its website so that you can continue to get writing jobs.
Even with the buzz of High Quality Writing, you may still find yourself hesitant to try this service. If you are a requester or a content writer, you could be thinking that this is just too good to be true. Stop overanalyzing everything that could go wrong. Well, put all of your hesitations aside and just see how great this service is for you! You'll never know how great this is without trying. After all, why waste another valuable minute of your time in trying to find the right content writer or writing job? There's nothing to lose and everything to gain! So try High Quality Writing today by getting quality writing from a quality content writer!

President Obama has declared today Religious Freedom Day but critics are charging his proclamation as "hypocritical."
"As we observe Religious Freedom Day, let us remember the legacy of faith and independence we have inherited, and let us honor it by forever upholding our right to exercise our beliefs free from prejudice or persecution," President Obama said in his proclamation.
However, Marjorie Dannenfelser, with the Susan B. Anthony List, said the president's proclamation is "hypocritical."
She cited the administration's mandate that employers provide insurance covering abortion-inducing drugs and sterilization, even if they have religious or moral objections.
"Our religious liberty and rights of conscience have been threatened like never before under President Obama," she said. "(He) must first rescind his HHS mandate before making any proclamations on the subject - This is blatant hypocrisy."
