J.G. from Maryland who flunked out of Mount Holyoke and told everyone it was because of money problems: don't let me ever see you on my ground again. You have no right to come back here after what you did to me, let alone how stupid and selfish you are. If I ever see you around here again, you'll not like what happens. So stay in your own gutter, you worthless, stupid bitch.

Caroline krakowski is a stupid bitch. Her bf texts me every night complaining he is not sexually attracted to her. He lied and told her "they lack a sexual connection" but ever since they left OSU he has been doing nothing but hitting me up to satisfy him in ways caroline never will be able too. Too busy curling her hair, changing her outfits, and reciting old cheers from trinity high. I've never met a girl so oblivious in my life. Saw her all dressed up for a party in a basement while everyone else was casual. The whole time her bf was texting me complaining about her then too. Blondes seriously are stupid.

Transparency International (TI) has assessed the nations of the world in 2004, how corrupt their public figures and politicians are perceived to be, and recently released their findings [PDF]. The results are a measure of human greed and abuse of power -- 106 out of 146 countries scored less than 5 out of 10 on the index -- 60 countries scored less than 3 out of 10, indicating rampant corruption -- and the worst countries of all, scoring less than 2 out of 10: Bangladesh, Hati, Nigeria, Chad, Myanmar, Azerbaijan and Paraguay. Why is corruption bad? It's devastating to countries, as wealth is stolen from the local economies. TI estimates that $400 billion US is lost every year to corruption. Imagine if that money was reinvested into local economies what a difference it would make. For the curious, Canada ranks number 12 -- right behind the UK. The number one spot is held by Finland. USA ranks number 17.

Twilight Princess 2, eh? I really doubt that is the official name. Its not like Nintendo, or the Zelda series.Originally Posted by Chaz
well for the next zelda wii game nintendo better use voice acting in the game but keep link a mute....also id like to see larger and more detailed worlds in any other 3D Zelda! They should also change the storyline from the typical save the princess and fight ganon thing! oh and last thing is to use fully orchestrated music to really make it feel more epic! I think those are the only issues zelda has...if Nintendo does all this and still keep the mature themes I think we could call the next zelda a perfect game!

I say there definantly has to be speach and no text, or an option to tuern the text off as I don't read it ayway.
Maybe the option of having multiple charecters that have to be used for certain aspects of the game.

The Next Zelda game for Wii could revolve around the events described at the beggining of the wind waker, and have a massive tragic ending like hyrule getting covered by the sea as a last resort to stop an all powerfull ganondorf.
That was actually what initially thought twilight princess might be about, im betting nintendo will cover that someday, but yeah, thatd be awesome.
massive misconception, do a little online research and you will find out they all do tie in with each other, even the games themselves tell us this. Nobody is entirely sure of the exact chronological order or timeline however....I doubt nintendo actually really know either.Originally Posted by wEaksaUce
OMG! The next zelda game wont have minda in, it wont have the same link it could even be set 20 years before and you could be TP's link's father (also called link) or you could be the first link sorting out hyrule after just defeating gannon for the first time. so people, please stop going on about f****** minda!

I'm sure I'm not the only person who said this or has thought this, but a purely Midna-based game would be neat. A prequel detailing her life in the Twilight Realm. It'd be neat to learn more about Zant, too.

Dear Dolorez, There are many ways to go about it. The easiest is to deglaze a pan used for sauting meat. Ideally, you should have some reduced chicken or beef stock on hand (it should be reduced to a syrupy glaze) that you can whisk into the sauce to give it body.

Drs Magliulo and Fumarola correctly point out that our two studies, utilizing the Limulus test to detect endotoxin in the blood of patients with typhoid fever, come to opposite conclusions, but that there were important differences in methodology and sampling of patients that may explain our differing conclusions. Our results showed that 21 febrile Vietnamese patients, 13 of whom had blood cultures positive for Salmonella typhi at the time of sampling, all had negative Limulus tests. Their study showed that nine of 14 Italian patients with positive blood cultures within 12 hours of sampling had positive Limulus tests.The sensitivity of the Limulus lysate used in the two studies was similar, about 1 ng/ml of lipopolysaccharide. In our study, the method of processing plasma to remove protein inhibitors of endotoxin was chloroform extraction. However, in their study, plasma was prepared by acidification with glacial acetic acid, followed by

A team from Imperial College London and Harvard University report solving the 3-D crystal structure of a retroviral integrase enzyme bound with viral DNA. The work is published in Nature in a paper titled "Retroviral intasome assembly and inhibition of DNA strand transfer."
Integrase is an essential retroviral enzyme that binds both termini of linear viral DNA and inserts them into a host cell chromosome, explains lead author, Peter Cherepanov, Ph.D., and colleagues. However, to date, the structure of full-length retroviral integrase, either separately or in complex with DNA, has been lacking. Moreover, the researchers add, while clinically useful inhibitors of HIV integrase have been developed, their mechanism of action remains speculative. The structural organization of the enzyme active site, which is believed to adopt its functional state only after viral DNA binding, is also unknown.
The four-year study by the researchers has now obtained diffracting crystals of the full-length integrase enzyme from the prototype foamy virus in complex with its cognate viral DNA. The structural data has shown that the retroviral intasome—the minimal functional complex involving viral DNA and integrase—comprises an integrase tetramer tightly associated with a pair of viral DNA ends. All three canonical integrase structural domains are involved in extensive protein–DNA and protein–protein interactions.
The binding of strand-transfer inhibitors essentially displaces the reactive viral DNA end from the active site, disarming the viral nucleoprotein complex, the scientists suggest. "Our findings will allow the generation of reliable HIV-1 integrase and integrase strand inhibitor pharmacophore models, which will be invaluable for the development of next-generation strand-transfer inhibitors."
The project achieved results that had previously thwarted many other researchers, Dr. Cherepanov commented. The final success was only achieved following more than 40,000 trials, from which just seven crystals were grown, only one of which was of sufficient quality to allow determination of the 3-D structure. "We knew that the project was very difficult and that many tricks had already been tried and given up by others long ago," he admits. "Therefore we went back to square one and started by looking for a better model of HIV integrase, which could be more amenable for crystallization."

text: Singapore 2010 - A good start to the year - Statutory amendments to empower the Singapore Court to assist Foreign-Seated Arbitrations 12 August 2010 Contacts KC Lye Singapore This article first appeared in Singapore International Arbitration Centre 28/07/2010As a major centre for international arbitration, Singapore is a popular seat for arbitrations even when none of the disputing parties are based in Singapore. Singapore is also a major financial centre. This means parties to arbitrations seated outside of Singapore will often have assets located in Singapore. In the second situation, a party involved in foreign arbitration proceedings will sometimes want to restrain the other party from dealing with its Singapore assets pending the outcome of the arbitration, to stop the other party from dissipating assets to frustrate an award. In recent years, there has been doubt that the Singapore courts had the power to assist foreign seated arbitrations in this way. Statutory amendments effective January 2010 now expressly empower Singapore courts to do this. The recent amendments enhance Singapore's reputation as a pro international arbitration jurisdiction.To secure assets located in Singapore requires a court order from the Singapore court called a Mareva injunction (now known in the UK as a Freezing Order). Prior to the recent amendments, three decisions by the Singapore courts cast doubt on the extent to which the courts had the power to grant interim relief in aid of foreign-seated arbitrations. These were the cases of Swift-Fortune Ltd v Magnifica Marine SA1; Front Carriers v. Atlantic & Orient Shipping Group2 and Multi-Code Electronics Industries (M) Bhd and Another v. Toh Chun Toh Gordon and Others3.Swift-Fortune was decided by the Court of Appeal, the highest court in Singapore, so the decision was determinative of Singapore law at the time. The upshot of these cases was that whilst it was clear that Singapore courts had the power to render assistance to arbitrations seated in Singapore, it was not clear to what extent this power extended to arbitrations seated outside of Singapore.The Court of Appeal's decision was greeted with dismay by many in the arbitration community, with some fearing it would portray Singapore as parochial and self-serving, and undermine Singapore's ambition of being an international arbitration hub. Various arbitration practitioners and academics called for urgent amendments to the law.4At the heart of this issue is a choice between two approaches to promoting Singapore as a centre for international arbitration: the "competition" approach and the "reciprocal" approach. The "competition" approach believes that denying the assistance of the Singapore court to foreign seated arbitrations encourages commercial parties to choose to seat their arbitrations in Singapore. The "reciprocal" approach takes a broader view. It believes Singapore enhances its reputation as a centre for international arbitration by being a good global citizen. This includes assisting foreign seated arbitrations, in the hope that other jurisdictions will similarly assist arbitrations seated in Singapore.5Historically, the Singapore court has favoured the "reciprocal" approach. As an example, in the context of enforcing foreign arbitral awards, Justice Judith Prakash observed in Re an Arbitration between Hainan Machinery Import and Export Corporation and Donald and McArthy Pte Ltd6 that Singapore must recognise foreign awards if it wishes its own awards to be recognised abroad.In October 2009, the Singapore parliament moved decisively in favour of the "reciprocal" approach by passing the recent amendments to the International Arbitration Act (the IAA). With effect from 1 January 2010, Singapore courts are now expressly empowered to give a range of assistance to foreign seated arbitrations.The amendments to the IAA deletes s. 12(7) and puts in place a new s. 12A, which grants the Singapore High Court the power to make various orders in aid of an international arbitration, irrespective of whether the seat of arbitration is Singapore. The court may make orders for the giving of evidence by affidavit; the preservation, interim custody or sale of any property which forms part of the subject-matter of the dispute; securing the amount in dispute; an interim injunction or any other interim measure.Court assistance of arbitrations can be a mixed blessing. There is a thin line between a court "assisting" and a court "interfering". This is more than just an academic question in some Asian countries. Historically, the Singapore courts have avoided undue interference in arbitral proceedings. There is a long list of Singapore cases where the court articulated exactly this concern. Nonetheless, when moving the recent amendments in the Singapore parliament, the Law Minister stressed that in keeping with Singapore's policy of minimal curial intervention in arbitration proceedings, the court's powers under the amendment do not extend to procedural or evidential matters dealing with the actual conduct of the arbitration itself, such as discovery, interrogatories, or security for costs.7These recent amendments to the IAA are welcome. Empowering Singapore courts to issue interim relief in assistance of foreign-seated arbitrations brings Singapore in line with other major international arbitration centres, such as the UK and Hong Kong, and is consistent with the 2006 version of the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration. The speed with which the Singapore parliament moved to align Singapore arbitration law with international norms affirms Singapore's intention to be a responsible and cooperative player in the world of international arbitration.Footnotes[2007] 1 SLR(R) 629[2006] 3 SLR(R) 854[2009] 1 SLR(R) 1000Lawrence Boo, "Arbitration Law" (2006) 7 SAL Ann Rev 51 at Para 3.24.For a recent exposition of these two approaches, see Lye, Yeo and Choo, "Interim Measures in Aid of Foreign Arbitrations – Time for the Deus Ex Machina?"

The first woman president
January 11, 2014 - Harry Eagar
Did a Republican woman in New Jersey just engineer the election of Hillary Clinton as president?
If she can get the nomination, yes. The Chris Christie bridge collapse has finished off the best (or only) chance the Republicans had to nominate someone who can collect votes from the center.
Nobody can win with only firm partisan votes, and the number of Republicans who can run against the Tea Party crazies who have taken control is tiny. Mitt Romney couldn't run to the center. Two kinds of candidates might manage it: an Eisenhower, who managed, although just barely, to evade the McCarthy crazies in '52; or a hard-nosed SOB who manages to combine broad appeal with a damn-your-eyes attitude to troublemakers in his own party, which Christie might be.
He's finished now, thanks to his deputy chief of staff Bridget Anne Kelly. Commenter Sue McAndrew at the New York Times summarizes Christie's failure perfectly:
"Mr. Christie's personality and way of doing business are well known. So ask yourself,
"1. If a major event impacting NJ residents occurred, would Mr. Christie withdraw quietly and say nothing or would he put himself front and center to be seen as the hero who fixed it all?
"2. If an event occurred that smelled of political retribution. possibly retribution against NJ by NY, would Mr. Christie say "no biggie, whatever, I'm not curious" or would Mr. Christie make sure he knew exactly what was going on.
"Assuming Mr. Christie did not know what was happening at 6:00 Monday morning, there is no chance that Mr. Christie would not have demanded facts by 10:00 am.
There is no way Mr. Christie would stand by quietly out of sight as NJ residents were harmed unless he personally approved of the harm. In all other scenarios, he would have been all over this like flies on honey."
McAndrew neatly sidesteps the question whether Christie was in on the plot. Doesn't matter. She also provides a framework for the reason Christie's apology won't matter. Sincere and heartbroken he may have been, but he wasn't being Chris Christie.

She hadn't crossed my mind, and while she has just as much personal political record as Hillary Clinton did when Democrats first started talking about her for prez (none), I don't see any possibility.
I expect a hard, unpleasant battle among the Dems for and against Hillary, so it is not even highly probably that she will get the nomination.
Today's Maui News calls Christie and (a possible) Jeb Bush the only moderate Republican possibilities, which surprised me and shows how flexible the concept of "moderate" can be. But with Christie out, it's flaming crazies all he way down.

Some random halftime thoughts:
The Chargers took over late in the first half with two touchdowns.
San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers hit rookie Vincent Brown -- who has been impressive in recent weeks -- for a touchdown pass with 1:33 to go in the half to give the Chargers the lead. Then after an interception, Rivers hit Vincent Jackson for a 35-yard touchdown pass with 23 seconds to go. San Diego took a 10-0 lead in the first quarter before Jacksonville reeled off 14 straight points.
Rivers had a good half. He was 16-of-21 for 202 yards.
The banged-up Chargers suffered more injuries in the first half. Standout center Nick Hardwick is out with a neck injury. The San Diego offensive line has been decimated by injuries. They are playing without three starters.
Linebacker Donald Butler is also out with an injury. Jacksonville had much of its running success with Butler out.
San Diego ran the ball early with Ryan Mathews getting 56 yards on six carries.

It is the traveller's responsibility to ensure that all precautions are taken and medical advice has been sought prior to departure. Malaria is a fact of life in certain parts of Africa. It is essential that in discussions with your medical practitioners that you mention where you will be travelling to. Some countries also require a certificate of vaccination against certain diseases. More information can be obtained from embassies and advisors of infectious diseases.
Any Traveler suffering from an illness or disability or undergoing treatment for any physical or medical condition shall declare the true nature of such condition at the time of booking to Siyabona Africa and shall make arrangements for the provision of any medication or other treatment which may be required during the holiday.
Failure to make such disclosure will constitute a breach of these booking conditions and may result in the Traveler being excluded from the tour in which case all monies paid will be forfeited. Travellers affected by any condition, medical or otherwise, that might affect their or other people´s enjoyment of the holiday, must advise Siyabona Africa at the time of booking.
It is the client's responsibility to be aware of malaria, yellow fever and other potential diseases when travelling to Africa. The client must take all necessary vaccinations and precautions, as are required in the prevention of these diseases, which are endemic to certain regions of Africa. The client shall therefore prior to embarking for the services for which he is booked attend at his medical practitioner or a travel clinic to obtain the necessary vaccinations, medication and advice. Siyabona does not accept any responsibility whatsoever for any client being refused entry to any country due to incorrect or incomplete health documentation or vaccinations.
Clients should be medically fit, in good health and able to embark upon a trip. If the Client has any pre-existing medical condition or illness, they must declare the true nature of such condition at the time of booking and make arrangements for the provision of any drugs or other cause of treatment, which may be required during their trip. In some cases, the Client will be required to provide a medical statement from a medical practitioner to confirm that they are fit to travel. Siyabona and its representatives will treat all information in the strictest confidence. Health Warnings: Malaria and Yellow Fever, Health Issues: 'Own Medication Responsibilities, Insurances, Emergency Medical Evacuation Insurance, are all extensively detailed on all Siyabona Africa web sites.
On an adventure holiday, it is necessary that Travellers abide by the authority of the tour leader and or, guide appointed by Siyabona Africa. If a Traveler commits any illegal act when on the holiday or if in the reasonable opinion of the leader behaves in a manner that causes or is likely to cause danger, distress or annoyance to other Travellers on the Tour, Siyabona Africa may terminate such Traveler's travel arrangements without any liability on Siyabona Africa´s part.
A general indication is provided in Siyabona Africa´s website and published information of the itinerary for each holiday, the type of accommodation used, what is included in the price, passport and visa requirements, and health formalities. For most holidays Siyabona Africa publishes detailed Trip Dossiers which contain the up-to-date definitive information about the holiday, and which will be sent on request or can be downloaded from our website. The information and conditions relating to a holiday (and extensions/options where applicable) contained in the Trip Dossiers will be deemed to be part of the contract, and Travellers should therefore read them carefully. Should there be a discrepancy between the information on the website and the Trip Dossier, the information in the Trip Dossier supersedes that in the website and will be considered the most up-to-date and accurate. Trip Dossiers may change from time to time and it is Travelers' responsibility to ensure that they obtain the most recent version of the dossier before travel.
Any information or advice provided by Siyabona Africa on matters such as accommodation descriptions, permits, visas, vaccinations, climate, clothing, baggage, special equipment, etc. is given in good faith but without liability on the part of Siyabona Africa. It is the responsibility of Travellers to ensure that they have all the necessary travel documentation required for the holiday. We cannot guarantee that any item or amenity mentioned will be available especially where we have no direct control over it.
The whole philosophy of Siyabona Africa tours and this type of travel is one which allows alternatives and a substantial degree of on-trip flexibility. The outline itineraries given for each holiday must therefore be taken as a guideline of what each group should accomplish, and not as a contractual obligation on the part of Siyabona Africa. Driving distances and travel times given are approximate, and will depend on circumstances such as road conditions, departure time, specific transport utilized and other circumstances.
We constantly strive to improve our tours and itineraries. If such improvements can be made or unforeseen circumstances force a change, we reserve the right to change itineraries and to substitute accommodation. Changes in itinerary may be caused by local political conditions, flight cancellations, mechanical breakdown, weather, border restrictions, sickness, or other unforeseeable circumstances. It is a fundamental condition of joining any Siyabona Africa holiday that Travellers accept this flexibility, and acknowledges that delays, alterations, and their results, such as inconvenience, discomfort, or disappointment, are possible. When changes in an itinerary are required Siyabona Africa will endeavor to provide suitable alternative arrangements which may involve additional expense. If it is not possible for Siyabona Africa to make suitable alternative arrangements, Siyabona Africa shall refund Travellers on a pro-rata basis for Siyabona Africa services not utilized. For third party services not utilized, Siyabona Africa shall refund Travellers on a pro-rata basis to the extent that Siyabona Africa ´s is able to recover such funds from third party service providers.
Where Travellers choose not to partake in the alternative arrangements offered, Siyabona Africa shall refund Travellers on a pro-rata basis for Siyabona Africa services not utilized. For third party services not utilized, Siyabona Africa shall refund Travellers on a pro-rata basis to the extent that Siyabona Africa ´s is able to recover such funds from third party service providers. Furthermore, Siyabona Africa will assist where possible in arranging transport to the end point of the tour, however Travellers may be asked to cover the costs of this transport. Should any Traveller be entitled to a refund for any reason whatsoever, no interest or costs will be due on any monies paid in relation to such a refund. No such refund shall exceed the price paid to Siyabona Africa for unutilized services. In general if Travellers choose not to participate in a part of a tour itinerary, no refund will be offered for services not utilized.
Interest on any outstanding amounts arising from these terms and conditions shall be charged at the publicly quoted basic rate of interest, compounded monthly in arrears and calculated on a 365 (three hundred and sixty five) day year irrespective of whether or not the year is a leap year, from time to time published by The Standard Bank of South Africa Limited as being its prime overdraft rate, as certified by any representative of that bank whose appointment and designation it shall not be necessary to prove.
If there is an obvious error on the website, in the brochures or printed material and/or on the confirmation invoice, Siyabona Africa reserves the right to correct it as soon as Siyabona Africa becomes aware of it, but it will do this within 7 days of issuing the invoice or if a Traveler's departure is within less than 7 days, no later than 24 hours before the Traveler's departure. If any of these changes are not acceptable then Travellers will be entitled to a full refund.
Travellers must be covered by insurance, which must include adequate cover for medical expenses and the cost of repatriation should they become too ill to continue, including helicopter rescue and air ambulance. If Travellers join the holiday without adequate insurance they may not be allowed to continue on the holiday, with no right of refund. Travellers are strongly advised to ensure that they have sufficient insurance in respect of dependent relatives. Travellers are required to carry proof of insurance with them and produce it if reasonably requested by Siyabona Africa employees or suppliers. Any claims concerning matters for which Travellers are insured must be directed to such Travelers' insurers. Passengers travelling on vehicles owned by Siyabona Africa are covered by passenger liability insurance, and by confirming that they have read and accept these terms and conditions and the Trip Dossier (as may be amended from time to time) Travellers acknowledge that Siyabona Africa has taken all reasonable steps to safeguard its liability in this respect.
Where traveller's baggage or documents have been lost by a third party carrier or stolen or damaged for some other reason we cannot accept any responsibility for such loss as a result of any act or omission of such third parties. We will give every reasonable assistance in assisting to resolve such issues but reserve the right to charge a discretionary administration fee of between USD50 and USD200 for such assistance. Any additional costs we incur in resolving such issue are for the travellers account and must be settled in full before the end of your tour.
At any time and at our complete discretion we may nominate any other company or person to have the benefit of some or all of the provisions of this contract, which we may then specify as if you had agreed the provisions concerned directly with that company or person in the first place, as well as agreeing them with us. This is necessary in those circumstances where we make use of third party suppliers which is often normal in the course of our tours. Siyabona Africa is not a Hotelier, nor does it have its own aircraft or boats. Siyabona Africa ground handles the majority of its tours utilizing its own road transport but reserves the right to utilise transport belonging to other companies or persons at its sole discretion where need arises, for whatever reason.

"I'm small, but he's large," the 5'2" Nashville star said on Wednesday's Ellen DeGeneres Show about her 6'6" fiancé, heavyweight boxing champion Wladimir Klitschko.
"That's how we met. I said, 'You're huge.' He said, 'You're tiny.' "
Panettiere said the on-again, off-again relationship between the couple, who confirmed their engagement last month, was "God telling us [that we] were too far on either end of the spectrum. He needs to make normal people."
Joked Ellen DeGeneres about the couple's having kids, "The two of you are going to make normal people between you and him?"
"Yeah," Panettiere said with a laugh. "He's got bowlegs. I've got knocked knees. They're going to have straight legs. They'll be normal height."
Although Panettiere, 24, told DeGeneres that Klitschko, 37, is a "good dude," as a Ukrainian "he's very confused about our traditions," the actress said, imitating Klitschko's not understanding why he's not allowed to see a bride in her dress before the wedding – or the meaning of a honeymoon.
Still, there's an upside, she notes: "He doesn't know the woman's side of the family is supposed to pay for the wedding. Sssshhh!"
"Oh, that's smart," DeGeneres acknowledged.
Concluded Panettiere, "We don't need him to know that."

Lou Engle called on members of the Boston Justice House of Prayer last week during their Antioch Again summit to pray that President Obama and his family will have a revelation that convinces them to end abortion. Engle advised them not to "listen to Rush Limbaugh very much" because "you will get a bitter, angry spirit," noting that God's wisdom "was above our Democrat and Republican wisdom." He went on to compare President Obama to Pontius Pilate, asking for Michelle to have dreams like "Pilate's wife" had before the crucifixion of... MORE >

Lou Engle spoke at the Justice House of Prayer's Antioch Again conference on September 22nd, where he promoted The Call: Detroit and as usual prayed against Muslims, abortion and gays and lesbians. Engle made clear that Detroit was selected as the next site for The Call so that Muslims in Michigan "will have dreams of Jesus": We're going to do The Call in Detroit ... on 11/11/11, right next to the greatest population in North America of Muslims - Dearborn. We're going in there and we're launching forty days and forty nights of intercession and we're daring to believe that... MORE >

Shortly after Gov. Rick Perry's giant prayer rally in August, organizers started emailing those who had registered for the event, urging them to get active in a new Religious Right voter mobilization effort called Champion The Vote. It turns out that this registration and mobilization effort is being backed by millions of dollars from Rick Perry supporters who are dedicated to doing what they can to register tens of millions of Christian voters in the coming years in an effort to take back America. Yesterday, Champion The Vote's Bill Dallas was a guest on The Janet Mefferd Show where he... MORE >

Here at Right Wing Watch we have been tracking right-wing activist and radio show host Linda Harvey of Mission America, who without fail attacks gays and lesbians in irate, crude, virulent and bizarre outbursts. In fact, she denies that gays and lesbians even exist. Yesterday on her radio show, Harvey had on as her guest Laurie Higgins of the ultraconservative Illinois Family Institute. Higgins and Harvey agreed that homosexuality is in fact a choice, and that "homosexual activists" are dishonestly covering up that fact. Harvey went on to chastise "evil bloggers" for... MORE >

James Dobson hosted conservative movie critic andanti-gay activist Ted Baehr on Family Talk today where the two raved against Hollywood and the media. According to Dobson, Hollywood promotes "filth and perversion and sacrilege" and is trying to attack "the very soul of your child." Listen: The media is just saturated with filth and perversion and sacrilege that Hollywood is trying to shove down our throats and it really is disgusting and offensive that all this junk, and that's what it is, it's junk, is published and...

I think the 964 has gotten a bum rap. I have owned a 1992 Model 964 for 7 years. It has been very reliable. It isn't particularly fast by contemporary standards but fast enough for most traffic and road conditions. I was a bit concerned about the dual mass flywheel issue with the 964 but after forking over a few thousand for various deferred maintenance shortly after buying the car it has been very trouble free.

Californians who signed up for Obamacare are having trouble finding doctors who can see them.
Many new enrollees reported the lists of available doctors under their new insurance plans are loaded with inaccurate information.
And people like Danielle Nelson, who lost her previous insurance because of Obamacare, are finding their doctors aren't covered by their new plans.
Nelson has non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. When she signed up for her new plan under Covered California she was told she could still keep seeing the same cancer doctor.
That turned out to be false.
"I'm a complete fan of the Affordable Care Act, but now I can't sleep at night," Nelson told the Los Angeles Times. "I can't imagine this is how President Obama wanted it to happen."
Major insurers are trying to hold down the costs of premiums, but in order to do that they've had to cut back on the number of doctors and hospitals available to new patients.
The situation has gotten so bad the California Assembly has now intervened on behalf of residents who can't see their previous doctor.
But the new legislation only applies to pregnant women and cancer patients.

Politics again will take center stage this year in some communities - most notably in Flint, where Mayor Don Williamson is up for re-election.
None of the top-tier political posts on the federal, state or county level will be on the ballot in this off-election year, but voting booths still will be busy with mayors and some city councils up for re-election. There also will be special elections for proposed tax increases and recalls.
"It'll be a kind of interesting year," Genesee County Clerk Michael J. Carr said. "Obviously, the Flint mayor's race will be interesting, but it depends on if some of these new names can catch hold."
At least four people so far have said they will challenge Williamson, but all of them are political newcomers.
The other big race could be in Burton. If Mayor Charles Smiley decides to run for re-election, it would be his first since a public corruption scandal rocked City Hall there.
But, that's not all.
Flint voters in the 1st Ward will decide whether to recall City Council President Darryl Buchanan, and in the 5th Ward officials currently are validating signatures that would force a recall election for Councilwoman Carolyn Sims.
Voters in the Beecher School District will consider their first bond issue in 40 years.
The $2.7-million building proposal would replace boilers at three schools, demolish two buildings, as well as replace windows, doors and frames throughout the district.

|Cotati council votes on fast food
Approval could mean more franchise restaurants outside the downtown area
Cotati's City Council on Wednesday, Aug. 14, unanimously voted to to amend its ordinance on formula-based fast food franchises (FBFFR) and increased the number from its current eight FBFFRs to 11.
As part of the ordinance, the council also voted to eliminate the 60-foot buffer zone between FBFFRs and eliminate the ban on a franchise business having more than one store in the city. Regarding the latter, a franchise business is still not allowed to have more than one store in the same commercially zoned area. Subway, which has a store on East Cotati Avenue, is almost certain to open another store in Apple Valley Plaza on Gravenstein Highway following the passage of the new amendments.
Two of the three additional allocations for franchise businesses will be on the northern corridor on Old Redwood Highway, while the other will go on East Cotati Avenue. Gravenstein Highway already has an allotment for four FBFFRs but only has one – Burger King – filled.
City staff last month presented the Cotati Planning Commission with a plan to boost the number of allocations to 20, but the commission pared the number to 11. The council had the option of increasing or decreasing that number at its meeting. The majority of those in crowded City Hall had hoped for no changes to the ordinance that has been in place since 2007. But the general consensus was if the amendments were to pass, keep them at a minimum, which was the planning commision's preference.
Currently, Cotati has five formula-based businesses – Burger King, Peet's Coffee and Tea, Papa Murphy's Pizza, Subway and Starbucks.
Even with the amendments to this ordinance, don't expect a flood of fast food restaurants to overwhelm Cotati. For one, most fast food restaurants require the availability of drive-through facilities, and Cotati limits its drive through buildings to drug stores and banks.
Also, the ban on fast food restaurants in the heart of downtown Cotati remains intact.

George advances to men's championship at 2010 US Olympic Team TrialsBROOMFIELD, Colo. (Feb. 27, 2009) - Sometimes in life a little luck can go a long way. Tyler George experienced that with his final stone this afternoon as his team advanced to Saturday's championship final at the 2010 U.S. Olympic Team Trials.
As the teams inch closer to the opportunity to represent the USA at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, the tension appears to be growing thicker and thicker around the Broomfield Event Center.
With the game tied 5-5 in the 10th end of the page playoff 1-2 game, Shuster threw his final stone, a draw to the side of the four-foot to grab shot rock. There was a George stone next to it in the eight foot and stones in front of the house. George attempted to raise one of his guards into the house to remove the Shuster rock but it over-curled, made contact with the guard and pushed it into the house just enough to move his stone in the eight foot over to the button to win the game. With emotions running high, Shuster exclaimed, "I have never seen anything like that in my life before," as the rock stopped on the button.
"I hadn't thrown a draw in a four ends, and it curled more than I thought. There was a second when I thought we'd lost," George said about the shot. "I feel kind of bad that we won the game that way, but I felt like we controlled the whole game."
George (Duluth, Minn.) and teammates Kris Perkovich (Chisholm, Minn.), Kevin Johnson (Duluth) and Mark Haluptzok (Bemidji, Minn.) now move on to Saturday's 3 p.m. final. Shuster will play Todd Birr's team in the semifinal at 8 tonight with the winner moving on to face George. Birr's team eliminated Craig Brown's defending champions, 9-6, in the page playoff 3-4 team. "That was a one in a million shot," said John Benton, lead for Team Shuster.
Birr (Mankato, Minn.) and teammates Paul Pustovar (Hibbing, Minn.), Greg Wilson (Vernon Hills, Ill.) and Kevin Birr (St. Peter, Minn.) scored two big ends, something they hadn't done all week here as they've kept their games conservative for the most part. With the Brown rink leading 1-0, Birr got on the scoreboard with three points in the third end. Brown tied the game in the fifth but Birr, the 2007 national champion, would strike for four points in the sixth end just sliding past the guard to tap Brown's shot stone out. Brown tried to rally with a deuce in the seventh but Birr held on for the win with a double takeout with the final stone in the 10th.
"The ice was different yesterday, and we just didn't adapt," Birr said about yesterday's loss to Shuster in the tiebreaker game. "We didn't talk about it much. You gotta shrug those games off."
Live scoring from the event is available at www.usacurl.org/curlingrocks in the scoreboard.
Line scores:
Shuster 010 101 002 0 5
*George 102 000 020 1 6
Brown 010 110 201 0 6

A hearing was held Thursday at Bishop McDevitt High School on a push by state lawmakers to toughen punishment for cyberbullying.
Some students testified about how important the bill would be to them.
Sophomore Sarah Beeghley says she's been the victim of cyberbullying three times. The bill would make cyberbullying a specific misdemeanor offense in the Pennsylvania crimes code.
"I hope this bill does eventually because I will drop down and cry, because it's something that I've been pushing for," said Beeghley.
But there is some concern. The ACLU of Pennsylvania fears the bill may "over-criminalize" cyberbulling and the bill may be too broad.
State Rep. Ron Marsico of Dauphin County is the bill's sponsor.

Renal function was studied in 84 male patients with Schistosoma haematobium infection. Maximal urine concentration, creatinine clearance, and intravenous urography were obtained. Patients were placed in four groups: A, 32 patients with nonobstructive urographic abnormalities and negative urine cultures; B, 24 patients with bilateral hydronephrosis and negative urine cultures; C, 13 patients with nonobstructive urographic abnormalities and bacteriuria; and, D, 15 patients with bilateral hydronephrosis and bacteriuria. Maximal urine concentration in groups B, C, and D was significantly lower than in group A. After antischistosomal and antimicrobial therapy, reduction of hydronephrosis and bacteriuria was associated with significantly increased maximal urine concentration. Creatinine clearance did not change after treatment. The results of this study suggest that hydronephrosis or bacteriuria alone impairs urine concentration, that the effects of both abnormalities on renal concentrating mechanisms may be additive, and that impaired urine concentration owing to either or both is reversible.
