After years of denying that blood samples were taken at birth, bioethicists are arguing for the State's right to seize newborns' blood samples for global database:
16 comments for "Newborns' Blood Being "Databased""
Dr. Joel Hoffman
In the original Hebrew, the 10th Commandment prohibits taking, not coveting. Thus, it is in 100% agreement with what we call the NAP as regards private property.
The biblical Jubilee year is named for an animal's horn and has nothing to do with jubilation. (a Jubilee year occurs every 50th year, in which slaves and prisoners are freed, debts are forgiven and the mercies of Nature's God are made explicitly manifest.)
The pregnant woman in Isaiah 7:14(Mary young mother, not virgin) is never called a virgin. Psalm 23 opens with an image of God's might and power, not shepherding. And the romantic Song of Solomon offers a surprisingly modern message.
But most people who read the Bible don't know these things, because extensive mistranslations conceal the Bible's original meaning.
The mistakes stem from five flawed translation techniques: etymology, internal structure, cognates, old mistranslations, and misunderstood metaphor.
The tenth Commandment, commonly but wrongly translated as "thou shalt not covet," illustrates how internal structure or etymology can be misleading. Like the English "host" and "hostile" that share a root but don't mean the same thing, the words for "desirable" and "take" in Hebrew come from the same root. It's the second word, "take," that appears in the Ten Commandments. Translators use related words that mean different things in this way, and took the Hebrew and wrongly translated the text as "thou shalt not covet" for what should have been "thou shalt not take."
The translation "Jubilee year" results from a mistaken application of cognates (similar words in different languages). In the original Hebrew, the year was called the "year of the horn," or, in Hebrew, "the year of the yovel." The Latin for yovel is iobileus, which just happens to sound like the Latin word iubileus, connected to the verb iubilare, "to celebrate." The English "Jubilee year" comes from the Latin. (A similar Latin coincidence gave rise to the notion that the fruit in the Garden of Eden was an apple – instead of a quince.)
Starting about 2,300 years ago, the Hebrew Bible was translated into a Greek version now known as the Septuagint. One shortcoming of that translation is its inattention to near synonyms. For instance, the Hebrew words for "love," "mercy" and "compassion" are frequently mixed up, because they mean nearly the same thing. Likewise, because most young women in antiquity were virgins and most virgins were young women, the Septuagint wasn't careful to distinguish the words for "virgin" and "young woman" in translation.
This is how the Hebrew in Isaiah 7:14 — which describes a young woman giving birth to a boy who will be named Emmanuel — ended up in Greek as a virgin giving birth. Though these facts about Greek and Hebrew are generally undisputed among scholars, the translation error remains, both because people are usually unwilling to give up familiar translations, and also perhaps because the Gospel of Matthew describes the virgin birth of Jesus by quoting the mistaken Greek translation of Isaiah 7:14.
Metaphors are particularly difficult to translate, because words have different metaphoric meanings in different cultures. Shepherds in the Bible were symbols of might, ferocity and royalty, whereas now they generally represent peaceful guidance and oversight. So the image of the Lord as shepherd in Psalm 23 originally meant that the Lord was mighty, fierce and royal. The impact was roughly the same as "the Lord is a man of constant battles." But in most English-speaking cultures, "the Lord is my shepherd" conveys a wholly different, and therefore inaccurate, image.
Similarly, kinship terms like "father," "brother," "sister," etc. were used in the Bible specifically to indicate power structure. This is why the romantic Song of Solomon — the Bible's only full length treatise on relationships — says "my sister, my bride" or "my sister, my spouse." On its face, that English translation is not only unromantic but in fact incestuous. The original point, however, was that the woman in this relationship should be the man's equal.
In these and many other instances, improved translation techniques have brought scholars much closer to the original intent of the Bible. Like a newly restored work of art, the Bible's original beauty shines the brighter for it, for those willing to go the extra mile to find the outside the mainstream accurate translation.

The slick traditions of charlatanism in these churches perverts something that should enlighten and uplift into something that exacerbates irrational mysticism and cripples the parishioners ability to reason correctly.
Ever watch Buck Rogers? Part of the interest for Earth in having Buck join their team is that he is undocumented. Everyone else in society is cataloged in "enemy" and "friendly" databases.
I am sure that this will be done for the best of motives and the information will never be misused against anyone by anyone. (At least officially.)
There was a Twiki in Buck Rogers. Was there a Twila too?
The sadder part may be, most social interactions, even here, mainly serve to catalog and document each others' data to better serve the emerging new database organized under libertarian principles.

Yeah New Zealand did a good job of writing that script. I commend all 4,479,883 of them still living, as last calculated by the NZ gov population clock on Wednesday, 28 Aug 2013 at 05:10:40 pm.
It is a boon for the many who want such a society. The problem arises, when it is made mandatory for the unwilling few by fatwa.
Andrew Niccol – writer of Gattaca script.
is the New Zealander most to be commended for this collective achievement. Andrew is a screenwriter, producer, and director. He wrote and directed Gattaca, S1m0ne, In Time, and Lord of War. He also wrote and co-produced The Truman Show, much of his work views societal or political issues through a fantasy-science fiction lens. Whether that's by choice, or by sponsors' and financiers' command is unknown.
Dang, Mithrandir. I read just a bit of the entry, and I had to stop.
I'm sooo not missing cable/satellite TV. It seems to me most cable and satellite TV are all just fascist acceptance programming. [a.k.a. brainwashing] as if people are computers in need of a program to guide them.
Other than the freedomista's of the world, … [and sometimes even then] I'm so disappointed in my fellow humans. …It's all quite sad.
Things could have been so much better right now, wtf?
I should add, I imagine there's probably some great take-away from that TV show. …I'm just not getting it.
Front and center for me tonight is, the unitedstate blob said it's terrible that 300 or so people had to die in Syria. So in response, the unitedstate blob will kill thousands, perhaps millions.
…I've decided most of the world has gone plumb freaking mad.
Especially after seeing this:
Just know it's my standard refrain…
Only way out is through.

Brendan Byrnes interviews Roger Martin, a consultant who helped turn around Procter & Gamble and author of "Playing to Win." The key change Roger helped to install was for every division in Procter & Gamble to have a clear idea of what they wanted to achieve, where they were going to play, and how they were going to win. As a result, Procter & Gamble is now a much more strategically careful company.

Susan Gross wasn't ready to be a widow.
Her husband, Alan, had been sick for a decade with diabetes and complicated back problems, but he wasn't dying. Nobody ever said he was dying.
And then one day he was gone, and she was alone, trying at age 60 to make sense of a new and unanticipated life.
"It's overwhelming, making decisions, and [figuring out] finances, and you just want to be left alone," Gross said in an interview.
Today, 11 years after her husband's death, she's sharing her hard-earned wisdom with new widows, organizing the Philadelphia chapter of a growing volunteer association called W Connection.

- - Is it wrong for me to love this sport because I love violence? (http://www.mmaforum.com/general-mma-discussion/93934-wrong-me-love-sport-because-i-love-violence.html)
Is it wrong for me to love this sport because I love violence?
I'll make this brief and I really want to get people's opinions about me.
The first taste of true violence in my life was when my friends were in my house (back when I was like 12 or 13 years old) and one of them pissed me off... I grabbed some kind of farm tool that looked like a demon's claw but it's METAL. They saw me with it and laughed, and the dude jokingly grabbed a metallic pole and assumed a fighting stance, giggling... But then I started swinging with the real intent of killing him. The moment they realized I was serious, ALL OF THEM STARTED RUNNING THEIR ASSES OFF. I was chasing them like crazy.
When they got out of the house, I hit the bicycle of one of the guys (who happens to be the toughest young mofo on the block, kind of like a miniature Kimbo.).
After that, I got into 15 or 16 different fights throughout the rest of my childhood. Sometimes I won, other times I lose. But I cherished every single moment of it like how a parent cherishes the moment his/her kid walks the first time, rides the bike the first time, or graduates college...
I was forced to stop fighting during an incident in my freshman high school when I brought a knife in school and literally threatened to kill a bully. I was stupid enough to expose the knife from a distance, leaving lots of opportunities for people to let the guy escape and have me reported to the school officials...
And after that, I repressed myself from any violence whatsoever...
But I miss the chaos. Now that I have a job and can afford to be independent, I have relished my freedom to lift weights and get stronger. And now that I actually joined a Muay Thai and BJJ gym, I can now "feel justified" to beat the living piss out of people.
It's not even about winning for me. And as far as "proving something" is concerned, that is absolutely absurd because I mainly base my ego with how much I can lift in the gym, NOT whom I can beat up.
Is it healthy for me to start my MMA career with this kind of bloodthirst? It gets the blood in my veins boil with excitement and passion.
I cannot wait to start cracking people's skulls with my elbows, and breaking their ribs with my roundhouses.
Is this healthy or do you think I should just quit?
The short answer is yes.
Feelings of power and violence aren't all that uncommon or wrong (imo) when watching MMA, but it's a huge problem if you're actually getting violent and can't control it. if that's the case, you're gonna hurt someone who doesn't deserve it, and yeah, that's wrong.
Can you control yourself? If not, you need to stop watching MMA. NO ONE and I mean NO ONE is gonna buy "well I was watching a fight and just couldn't help myself" as an excuse when you're in jail for assaulting or killing someone.
btw, lol if this is a troll :)
The bloodlust is the issue not liking a sport because it contains violence. What you are describing is abnormal behavior and a mental disorder. You should seek a diagnosis and guidance from a mental health worker as something like this will eventually end or ruin your life and/or the life of someone else.
I don't think they have a psychological classification for internet trolls quite yet.
I think it all depends on your definition of violence.:confused05:
Judging by this video, you'll be OK:thumb02:

'Care Not Cuts' ad blitz aims to preserve funding, access to skilled nursing care
The American Health Care Association (AHCA) and the Alliance for Quality Nursing Home Care (Alliance) launched a nationwide informational ad campaign, "Care Not Cuts," in eight states that is designed to educate the public and federal lawmakers on the importance of preserving funding for skilled nursing and rehabilitative care.
The multi-month campaign debuted yesterday in Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Mexico, Nevada, Virginia and Washington. Its first TV spot features a nurse explaining how deep the cuts have been in the rehab industry over the five years and argues that another round of deep cuts would affect the quality of care.
[See also:CMS to cut Medicare payments to skilled nursing facilities; CMS regulation reduces payments to skilled nursing facilities by $79B over ten years, says industry group]
"Our nation's long term and post-acute care facilities have already been dealt rounds of reductions, and now further cuts to Medicare and Medicaid may be on the way," said Mark Parkinson, president and CEO of AHCA, in an announcement launching the campaign. "This nationwide campaign aims to inform our lawmakers that additional cuts to skilled nursing and assisted living threaten access to quality care needed by America's seniors and individuals with disabilities. It will also demonstrate that our sector is part of the solution to both rising healthcare costs and the need for local job creation."
The ultimate goal of the program, which will run for the remainder of 2011, is to draw attention to the role nursing homes and assisted living facilities play in the healthcare continuum. It will also show how long-term and post-acute care facilities serve as a significant provider of local communities' employment base.
"We intend to use our media effort to help convey the positive policy message that our vital health sector offers high quality care and rehabilitation in a low cost setting, which is highly pertinent to this fall's legislative discussion," said Alan G. Rosenbloom, president of the Alliance, in a press release. "As America's second largest health facility employer, we also intend to make clear our sector cannot be expected on the one hand to continue being the reliable jobs partner we have proven to be even in this continuing economic downturn, while, on the other, absorbing one deep funding reduction after another."

The summary below is from the full report titled "Ciprofloxacin or Tamsulosin in Men with Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome. A Randomized, Double-Blind Trial." It is in the 19 October 2004 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine (volume 141, pages 581-589). The authors are R.B. Alexander, K.J. Propert, A.J. Schaeffer, J.R. Landis, J.C. Nickel, M.P. O'Leary, M.A. Pontari, M. McNaughton-Collins, D.A. Shoskes, C.V. Comiter, N.S. Datta, J.E. Fowler Jr., R.B. Nadler, S.I. Zeitlin, J.S. Knauss, Y. Wang, J.W. Kusek, L.M. Nyberg Jr., M.S. Litwin, and the Chronic Prostatitis Collaborative Research Network.
Chronic prostatitis or chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) occurs in men and is characterized by persistent discomfort or pain in the pelvic area that lasts several months, often longer. The discomfort is usually at the base of the penis and around the anus and lower back. Sometimes it spreads into the testes. Some patients have pain with ejaculation, and others may have pain or an urgency or hesitancy when they pass urine, as well as a poor urinary stream. The cause of CP/CPPS is not known. Physicians often try various therapies, including antibiotics to treat hidden or persistent infections in the prostate gland and α-blockers to relax the muscle tissue of the prostate and the outlet of the bladder. Thus far, few research studies have tested whether either of these treatments helps relieve symptoms of CP/CPPS.
To see whether an antibiotic (ciprofloxacin) or an α-blocker (tamsulosin) improves symptoms in men with CP/CPPS.
196 men with moderately severe symptoms of CP/CPPS who were recruited from 10 urology clinics in North America. Their average duration of symptoms was 6.2 years.
Researchers recruited men who reported persistent pain or discomfort in the pelvic region for at least 3 months. All men reported moderately severe symptoms related to pelvic pain and voiding urine that interfered with their quality of life. The men were randomly assigned to take ciprofloxacin (500 mg twice daily), tamsulosin (0.4 mg once daily), both drugs, or placebo (matching dummy pills) for 6 weeks. Neither the researchers nor the participants knew who received which drug or placebo. The researchers asked the men about symptoms every 3 weeks for 3 months. They then compared symptoms and quality of life among the groups.
None of the groups reported substantive improvements in symptoms or quality of life. Also, the groups reported no differences in adverse side effects of the treatments.
Patients had long-standing CP/CPPS that had not responded to previous treatments. They received the trial treatments for only 6 weeks. Patients with new diagnoses or those given the trial treatments for longer durations might respond differently.
Neither ciprofloxacin nor tamsulosin given for 6 weeks improved symptoms in men with long-standing, moderately severe CP/CPPS.

Automotive International, a supplier of corrosion protection coatings, announced improvements to its ValuGard Hybrid Technology Undercoating.
"The hybrid product has been popular since its launch," said Tim Brune, technical director for Automotive International. "It strikes a good balance between the fast drying solvent formulations and the slower drying, more temperature sensitive, 100% water-based products. That said, we are constantly striving to improve all of our products."
"Using new, different resins we've created a coating with a darker finish and less porosity so there is virtually no chance of moisture migration," Brune added. "This formula gives us better corrosion resistance, a better gravelometer rating and improved sprayability."
For more information, contact the company at (800) 543-7156, visit their website, www.valugard.net, contact Richard Hallberg, [email protected], or Tim Brune, [email protected].

In today's Christmas edition of the Consumer Countdown, analysts Michael Finarelli and Sean O'Reilly join Mark Reeth to discuss some of the big gifts they hope to find under their trees this year. Michael is hoping Santa brings an Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) iPad Mini for his son, one that could replace his old LeapFrog (UNKNOWN: LF.DL ) device. His 6-year-old son has been using a LeapFrog tablet -- a just-for-kids device designed for educational purposes -- but is outgrowing it and could use something with more functionality.
Meanwhile, Mark and Sean are hoping that Santa delivers a new Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT ) Xbox One to both of them to fulfill all of their gaming dreams. Neither of them has gotten a new video game system recently, and both have chosen the Xbox One over Sony's (NYSE: SNE ) competing PS4; Sean likes the Xbox One's controller, while Mark prefers the One's family functionality.

Preventing Skin Cancer: Primary and Middle School-Based Interventions
Task Force Finding
The Community Preventive Services Task Force recommends primary and middle school interventions to prevent skin cancer, based on strong evidence of their effectiveness in increasing sun-protective behaviors and decreasing ultraviolet exposure, sunburn incidence, and formation of new moles.
Read the full Task Force Finding and Rationale Statement for details including implementation issues, possible added benefits, potential harms, and evidence gaps.
Intervention Definition
Primary and middle school (kindergarten through 8th grade) interventions to promote sun-protective behaviors include educational interventions, supportive behavioral interventions, and environmental and policy changes. Student-focused educational and behavioral interventions include teaching children about sun safety and the effects of ultra-violet (UV) radiation, which is often reinforced by modeling, demonstration, or role-playing. Interventions may be delivered in a single session or as a comprehensive multi-session curriculum.
Student-focused sun-protective environmental and policy changes include increasing the availability of sun-protective items (e.g., sunscreen or protective clothing); adding sun-protective features to the physical environment (e.g. shade structures); and implementing sun-protection policies (e.g., clothing guidelines, restrictions on outdoor activities during peak sunlight hours). Interventions also may include efforts to change the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of caregivers at school or at home.
About the Systematic Review
The Task Force finding is based on evidence from a Community Guide systematic review published in 2004 (Saraiya et al., 20 studies with behavioral outcomes; search period January 1966 – June 2000) combined with more recent evidence (13 studies, search period June 2000 – May 2011). The systematic review was conducted on behalf of the Task Force by a team of specialists in systematic review methods, and in research, practice, and policy related to preventing skin cancer. This finding updates and replaces the 2004 Task Force finding on Education and Policy Approaches in Primary and Middle School Interventions.
Updated Evidence (search period June 2000 – May 2011)
Thirteen new studies were identified in the update period, and results consistently demonstrated beneficial effects on varied outcomes, including the following.
Sun protective behaviors:
- Sunscreen use: median increase of 3.1 percentage points (interquartile interval [IQI]: 1.28 to 8.88, 9 studies with 10 study arms)
- Hat use: median increase of 3.0 percentage points (IQI: 0.30 to 10.18, 9 studies with 10 study arms)
- Use of protective clothing: median increase of 8.7 percentage points (IQI: 3.2 to 13.5, 6 studies with 7 study arms)
- Use of shade: median increase of 9.2 percentage points (IQI: 5.6 to 11.2, 4 studies with 5 study arms)
- Use of sunglasses: median increase of 6.6 percentage points (range: 2.7 to 17.6, 3 studies)
Physiological outcomes
- Direct measures of UV exposure or changes in skin pigmentation: consistent evidence of decreased UV exposure (4 studies)
- Sunburn incidence: median decrease of 3.6 percentage points (IQI: ‑8.45 to 1.45, 5 studies)
- New mole formation: median relative decrease of 18.63% (range: ‑24.3% to ‑9.6%, 3 studies)
Studies also found overall favorable results on composite measures of sun-protective behaviors (4 studies) and reduced use of sunlamps (1 study).
Previous Review (search period January 1966-June 2000)
Twenty studies were included in the evidence review, and results showed significant improvements in behavioral outcomes.
- Sunscreen use: median increase of 1.3 percentage points (8 studies)
- Use of protective clothing: median increase of 1.5 percentage points (18 studies)
- Combined protective behaviors: median increase of 1.0 percentage points (IQI: 0.94 to 1.72; 15 studies)
Study Characteristics
- Studies from the updated search period were conducted in the United States (5 studies), Europe (5 studies), Australia (2 studies), and Canada (1 study).
- Most of the evaluated interventions involved education only (10 studies); two interventions also included environmental or policy components, and one solely involved distribution of sunscreen.
- More than half (7 studies) of the interventions also targeted caregivers (parents) by sending home informational materials, resources for interactive activities, or sun-protection items (e.g., sunscreen, hats) with instructions for appropriate use.
- Though the systematic review included interventions aimed at students from kindergarten through eighth grade, only two studies included seventh- or eighth-grade students. Studies were generally well-controlled, with five individual or group-randomized trials, and seven non-randomized trials.
- The majority of outcomes were assessed using self-reported or caregiver reported behavior.
Based on the settings and populations from included studies, results are applicable to the following:
- Schools in the United States and other countries
- All grade levels and ages
- All educational methods of delivery (e.g., interactive, text, technology-based, lectures)
Economic Evidence
An economic review of this intervention was not conducted.
Considerations for Implementation
The following considerations are drawn from studies included in the evidence review, the broader literature, and expert opinion.
- Primary and middle school interventions to promote sun-protective behaviors may be challenging to implement because of many other competing priorities, and limited time and resources.
- Implementation of sun-protection efforts at a higher organizational level than individual schools (e.g., school districts) may result in increased reach and face fewer organizational barriers.
- Several initiatives to promote adoption of school-based sun-protection programs and policies, such as curricular materials and activities, have demonstrated success at increasing the number of schools that implement these interventions.
- When schools restrict outdoor activities, they should ensure students have the opportunity for supervised indoor physical activity.

"Most natural science classes at LSSU offer students as much hands-on experience (lab hours) as lecture hours, which ensures that the university experience prepares us for the real world careers, whether you work at a desk or out in the field, or both. There are endless advantages and opportunities available to LSSU students due to its location on an international border.
I found my career path on campus when my advisor posted a job for the Bi-national Public Advisory Council (BPAC), a group dedicated to and overseeing the clean-up the St. Mary's River. I was able to gain experience and network on both sides of the border, ultimately finding full-time employment before I graduated with my biology degree."

Natalie Portman, Ashley Judd, Stockard Channing, James Frain
The teenage heroine of this well-meaning but mawkish tale hates the number 5. She believes that anything bad that happens to her involves that number, beginning when she was 5 years old and her mother abandoned her to run off with a baseball umpire. Well, here are five things that are wrong with this movie:
1. Its depiction of small-town America is so patently saccharine that the sweetness becomes oppressive.
2. It's the first film to have a Wal-Mart store play a lead role. Will a Target star in the sequel?
3. The major characters are all way too nice or way too mean, never realistically somewhere in between.
4. No one in the film is named plain old Jim or Sue, but rather Novalee, Sister Husband or Americus.
5. Sally Field shows up for only one tiny scene.
Where the Heart Is, based on a 1995 novel by Billie Letts that was an Oprah's Book Club pick, is about spunky 17-year-old Novalee (Portman), who is left barefoot and pregnant—literally—at a Wal-Mart in rural Oklahoma by her beau (Dylan Bryant) while on their way to California. She secretly sets up house in the store, has her baby there and is soon befriended by excessively colorful locals, including a randy recovering alcoholic (Channing) and a hospital worker (Judd) who names her children after desserts (Brownie, Praline, etc.). Tepidly directed by TV writer-producer Matt Williams (Roseanne), Heart dithers on and on to no great effect. The actors are all trying, but their efforts are as broad and flat as their accents. This is the sort of homespun nonsense ("Our lives can change with every breath we take," Novalee lectures) that belongs on a chocolate-sampler box rather than on a screen. (PG-13)

Pratt & Whitney, a division of United Technologies (NYSE: UTX ) , announced Thursday that it has begun construction of a new manufacturing facility in Singapore. Once completed, the plant will construct fan blades and turbine disks for the PurePower line of geared turbofan engines.
The new plant will bolster Pratt & Whitney's capabilities in Singapore, where the company already has a component repair facility. Pratt & Whitney has invested nearly $110 million in the two facilities as it looks to build up its presence in the Asian nation. According to the release, the company expects its Singaporean work force to increase to nearly 2,500 over the next five years. The company expects the new facility to be completed by 2014 and to come online sometime in 2015.
Company President David Hess explained the benefit of Pratt & Whitney's Singapore investment, saying, "This expansion is a strategic investment for our company, and we are confident the Asia Pacific market is well-positioned for economic growth in 2013 and beyond."

Events involving the adults running the Hamburg School District more resemble reality TV than anything to do with education. Someone has got to put a stop to the madness.
Perhaps that could be the first order of business for Interim Superintendent Richard Jetter. He knows he'll have his hands full.
The intrigue has all the makings of a gripping reality show: accusations of harassment; stalking and threats, at least verbal ones. Who knows where the truth lies? If any of it is true, those responsible should be held accountable. But why isn't there this level of angst over the education of 3,700 students? What about dealing with a $2.23 million budget gap? Too boring?
As reported, two board members have said they are afraid to attend board meetings and a third is under investigation, accused of harassing a principal. At least the names remain somewhat the same, even if the details vary from script to script.
Vice President Sally Stephenson and her daughter, Board Member Holly Balaya, said they do not feel safe at board meetings, at least as long as Boston Valley Principal James Martinez, who is also the district's safety officer, attends the meetings. So they did not attend last Tuesday's board meetings. Jetter supported Martinez.
Balaya has accused Martinez of following her out of a community meeting and then doing the unspeakable. Speaking about forces out to get her and threatening the job of a family member if she and Board Member Catherine Schrauth Forcucci "don't keep their mouths shut."
Martinez has reportedly filed an internal complaint of a hostile work environment against Stephenson, Balaya, Schrauth Forcucci and two employees of the district.
Each party is told not to have contact with the other and the pendulum swings back and forth with no apparent end in sight. Things even got so heated that when Stephenson and Schrauth Forcucci objected to Martinez being in the hall, (remember, he is also the district's safety officer) the scene escalated off the Richter scale.
The entire scenario is ridiculous and just another incident in one that has been going on for three years. It is long past time for grown-ups to stop acting like children and get to the business of education and policy-making on behalf of actual children who could use better role models.

Sam Coronado
Chicano 15: Celebrating Fifteen Years of the Serie Project
In 1991, Austin-artist Sam Coronado participated in the Atelier artist-residency program at Self-Help Graphics, a nationally-recognized center for Latino arts dedicated for nurturing printmakers and promoting cultural awareness located in Los Angeles. As a result of this experience, Coronado founded the Serie Print Project modeled after the Atelier artist-residency at Self-Help Graphics in 1993. Since its inception 15 to 18 artists are annually invited through a referral and juror system to participate in the Serie Project. Selected participants then come to Coronado Studio to learn the basic process of fine art printmaking and to create an original serigraph print with the aid and collaboration of a provided Master Printer free of charge.
The produced serigraph prints from the Serie Project have gained the attention and support of multiple museums such as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Austin Museum of Art, and the Hispanic Research Center at Arizona State University. Selected prints have been featured in the PBS Series "Art Journeys" and in the art publications Triumph of Our Communities, Chicano Art for our Millennium, and Contemporary Chicana and Chicano Art. Moreover, National contemporary art exhibitions such as Phantom Sightings: Art after the Chicano Movement have included work from past Serie artists. Although Serie Project emerged from very modest beginnings it has successfully held over 250 artists-in –residency programs and continues to nurture emerging and established artists. Serie Project is one of the few Latino arts organizations that continually influence the contemporary art world; for example, professional Chicano/Latino artists such as Malaquias Montoya, Alma Lopez, Vincent Valdez, Ester Hernandez, Delilah Montoya, Santa Barraza, Alex Rubio, and Gaspar Enriquez have previously collaborated with the Serie Project. The unprecedented nature of such a Latino Arts organization in Texas makes the Serie Project extremely unique. Serie Project is one of very few Latino-owned print studios that aim to increase diversity and awareness of multi-cultural artists with 2/3 of all Serie Project artists of Latino or Latin American descent.
The objective of the Serie Project is for the artists to not only develop a new artistic technique, but to provide an avenue of expression not readily available for Chicano/Latino artists. As we reflect on the past productions of the Serie Project and its accomplishments we must remember that the campaign for Chicano/Latino art visibility and awareness is still ongoing, and Serie Project represents this continued need for a Chicano/Latino presence that will persist to fight for a position in the art world. Throughout its sixteen-year duration Serie Project has helped facilitate each of its selected artists to create their own original serigraph print and individual artistic vision and hopefully Serie will be able to continue this tradition for the next generation of artists.

TOKYO — Japan auto executives gathered for an annual New Year's party Monday expressed hopes for a U.S. turnaround and a strengthening dollar to fix the faltering global market.
Japan's export-dependent automakers have been battered by the slowdown in the U.S. set off by the financial crisis last year. The rising yen has also hurt the companies. The dollar, which had cost 113 yen a year ago, is trading at about 90 yen lately, a 13-year low.
Despite the hard times, the annual event at a Tokyo hotel hosted by the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, which groups this nation's automakers, was packed with suited businessmen and other guests eager to start the new year by networking toward a recovery.
Takeo Fukui, president and chief executive of Japan's No. 2 automaker, Honda Motor Co., said he hoped the global economy had bottomed out. Tokyo-based Honda has its hopes on the hybrid Insight set to go on sale later this year, he said, but the main problems were the U.S. downturn and the weak dollar.
"First of all, the U.S. market has to recover," he told reporters. "The yen is at an abnormally high level. The Japanese economy needs its export industries."
Honda, which makes the Odyssey minivan and Accord sedan, has cut production to adjust to slowing demand, and slashed its profit forecast for the fiscal year ending in March to 185 billion yen ($2.0 billion), less than a third of its previous year's earnings.
Japan's top automaker Toyota Motor Corp. isn't faring any better, toppling into its first operating loss in 70 years.
Toyota, which makes the Prius gas-electric hybrid and Camry sedan, is forecasting a net profit of 50 billion yen ($555 million), down drastically from the 1.7 trillion yen earned the previous year.
"We tried to create a business that can withstand currency fluctuations, but the latest changes have been too much," said Toyota President Katsuaki Watanabe.
Toyota's Honorary Chairman, Shoichiro Toyoda, a member of the company's founding family, stressed the importance of an American recovery.
"We are all in trouble without an American recovery," he told The Associated Press. "The American economy has a big impact on the world."
Nissan Motor Co., which is expecting a 160 billion yen ($1.6 billion) profit for the fiscal year through March 31, down 67 percent from the previous year, is also hoping for a U.S. recovery.
In past years, the overall U.S. market has totaled about 16 million vehicles, peaking at 17 million in 2000. That has shrunk to 11 million vehicles, according to some estimates for last year.
Nissan Chief Operating Officer Toshiyuki Shiga said such low levels couldn't last forever because of the historic size of the U.S. auto market and the growing population there.
"The recovery will get moving once financing problems settle down and American individual consumer sentiments start looking up," he said.
Although Japanese automakers have been trying to expand in new markets -- such as China, Brazil and Russia -- those markets are still small. The Japanese market has been sluggish for years, but the stagnation has worsened since the U.S. crisis.
Japan sales of new vehicles fell to 3.2 million vehicles last year, the lowest in 34 years, the Japan Automobile Dealers Association said Monday.

i was so dissapointed with those pizza shirts.
Wally representing my school, nice. Is that Arthur on bass? I didn't think he was in the band at that point?
This was the show that Wally asked if they could rent our equipment because they didn't bring any. GB were WAY past their prime at this point.
This was the show when i basically SWORE OFF reunion shows. And it was only 1991. Flash forward 25 years.
Other thoughts:
Ressurection were amazing at this show. So gnarly. Always thought that band was sorta genius. SXE played super experimental and noisy.
I also remember NOFX covering Straight Edge as a lounge song at this show. And it going over like a wet fart in a small elevator. Their set was sooooo painful. I know the demo is cool.. but.. yeah, jokey HC was not my thing.
I did nab a GB pizza shirt at this show and sold it to somebody prob around 96 or so for like 20 bux, thinking that was outrageous. I remember selling it cuz i was(am) vegan and felt weird wearing a pizza shirt.
That was me who didn't like the pizza shirt. George Not For the Weak and I were giving the thumbs down.
I was the one who didn't like the pizza shirt; true story. George Not for the Weak and I were giving the thumbs down.
This video is as painful as it was in real life.
It's funny how GB way past their prime is still better than most hardcore! Because Walter writes good songs
1991 was a strange time for hardcore . Every youth crew kid from the late 80s was off to college
All of the ny bands and kids were growing their hair long and smoking weed
Kids at shows ditched their champion sweatshirts for sweaters from the gap
And designer jeans
This era gave birth to quicksand and many others
It began to become all about style and drugs
It was an odd time for hardcore to say the least
And yes we were all guilty in one way shape or form

Featured attraction
In space, where no one can hear you scream, Clint Eastwood knows how to make himself heard—even if his voice these days is no louder than steam hissing from a radiator. There's something absurd yet impressive about the sight of this lean, tight-lipped icon, now 70, suited up as an astronaut and floating by with the stars as backdrop. Peering out through his helmet, does he show awe? Fear? No, it's the classic Clint squint, as focused as a laser. He's mulling over his next move while his patience, like a shuttle countdown, ticks toward zero.
Eastwood produced, directed and stars in this leisurely, touching space epic about four old coots sent up to repair a crippled Russian satellite. (The others are Jones, Sutherland and Garner.) Has there ever been a leisurely, touching space epic—let alone one with senior-citizen heroes?
Back in the '50s, the guys were cream-of-the-crop Air Force pilots who thought they were destined to become astronauts. When the space program moved to the newly formed NASA, they found themselves stranded—and their careers earth-bound. Now, as the satellite goes on the blink, Eastwood, who went on to become an engineer, is the only man who knows how to fix it. (It's based on his design.) He tells NASA he wants to do the job himself, along with the rest of his gang. Backed up by two younger astronauts (Vance and Dean), they go through training, dodge the machinations of a NASA bigwig (James Cromwell) and confront a major health crisis before finally blasting off.
The story, even the do-or-die space segments, moves forward with no more urgency than a toy boat launched across a pond. In Clint's cosmos, everyone's energy level ratchets down a few notches. His costars—particularly Sutherland as the randiest of the bunch—have a great time relaxing in their roles and showing off their wrinkles. They could just as easily be having drinks at the clubhouse after a round of golf. That's the movie's joke and its charm. They may be slowed by age, but they don't need warp speed. (PG-13)
Bottom Line: Ride 'em, cowboys
Kevin Bacon, Elisabeth Shue, Josh Brolin
Ah, but there's more to turning invisible than just fading into thin air. As illustrated by Hollow Man's excellent special effects, it's a progressive process. The body vanishes layer by layer. The skin goes, then cartilage, then organs. So peels the human onion, until the bones themselves dissolve into air. Viewers may feel the same about the movie: Like, where'd it go?
Bacon heads a research team that perfects an invisibility serum. The problem, as he realizes after volunteering himself as guinea pig, is that the serum to restore full visibility still has some kinks. Stuck in a transparent state, he gives in to raging, homicidal megalomania.
Director Paul Verhoeven (Starship Troopers), whose best work has an edgy, coldly amoral perversity, seems to be taking this old story into unsettling new psychological territory, especially when the invisible man rapes a neighbor. Bacon next decides to eliminate his colleagues, including ex-girlfriend Shue, and the movie becomes a blood-soaked game of hide-and-seek in a high-tech lab. You can see the subsequent twists coming from a mile off. (R)
Bottom Line: Not outta sight Leah Rozen is on vacation.
>Chuck & Buck As an alternative to dumb, big-budget summer films, try this creepy, disquieting drama about a lollipop-sucking misfit (Mike White, the movie's writer) who stalks his childhood best friend (Chris Weitz).(R)
Coyote Ugly Trying to make it in New York City, a girl singer-songwriter (Piper Perabo) works nights at a female-run watering hole where the bartenders dress like killer vixens and dance on the counter. Their choreography falls somewhere between Flashdance and Riverdance. The movie is so unabashedly air-headed you come out with a mildly pleasant buzz. (PG-13)
Loser Jason Biggs and Mena Suvari play campus misfits, but it's the movie (directed by Amy Heckerling) that seems truly clueless about modern college life. (PG-13)
Nutty Professor II: The Klumps When it comes to Eddie Murphy, the more the merrier. Playing six different characters in an uneven sequel to his 1996 comedy hit, he practically steals the movie from himself. (PG-13)
The Perfect Storm Great waves, weak characters and story. Stars George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg as fishermen too far out in the North Atlantic. (PG-13)
Thomas and the Magic Railroad The spunky blue steam engine, already familiar to young TV audiences, helps Mr. Conductor (Alec Baldwin) and searches for a missing locomotive. Strictly for the 5-and-under crowd. (G)
What Lies Beneath Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford play a seemingly happily married couple in a glossy thriller. Begins promisingly but deteriorates into clichéd, made-you-jump fare. (PG-13)
X-Men Good and evil mutants battle in a gloomy, overblown sci-fi fantasy. With each superhero showing off his or her special power, it feels like vaudeville of the gods. (PG-13)

DOM: 0 Days
Posted by Dave Fratello on Tuesday, July 6th, 2010 at 5:00pm.
In a more indepth story in late January (see "Pacific Connection"), we had more to say about the house and history.
The short: This one began at $8.150m when newly completed in late 2008, was at $5.995m by March 2009 and has now closed for $5.250m.
Investors had grabbed the property in Sept. 2005 for $1.6m and tried to resell it for prices as high as $1.949m from 2007 forward. MBC wondered aloud what it "should" sell for in Aug. 2007 in "What's Right for 505 3rd?" – that was back in the days before MBC pricing polls.
3rd was listed as a short sale this year. (As the Redfin display page still shows.) Final sale price was -248k/-15% off the Sept. 2005 trade.
The suggestion was that the unique, luxe Spanish at 3011 Elm (5br/5ba, 3600 sq. ft.) could be around a while to tour, ponder and, perhaps someday, purchase. But it did not linger – it sold almost immediately, after listing at $2.495m. It has now closed for $2.475m.For more on some recent closings, see Redfin's MB page and click the tab at the top for "Recently Sold."
The backstory was that the home was listed new in 2005 at $2.595m, got bid up before selling to a certain local/international USA soccer star for $2.8m, but the home had traded again in Dec. 2007 for less: $2.650m. In 2007, it was one of the first truly great properties we saw sell for less than acquisition, suggesting that a trend was taking hold. (It was.)
The new sale is another step down: -175k/-7% from Dec. 2007, and still 5% below the 2005 start price.

Cinnabar, also known as Chinese Lacquer, is a famous Chinese handicraft. Traditionally, cinnabar items were created by painting multiple layers of lacquer onto an item, letting the item dry between each coat, and then carving the resulting layers of lacquer into beautiful patterns. Cinnabar gets its name from the toxic red mineral cinnabar (mercury sulfide) that was once used to give the distinctive red color to the lacquer used in the process. Today, cinnabar jewelry is formed from a dyed red resin that contains no harmful cinnabar mineral. However, the look is largely the same. In fact, not all cinnabar is even red! Pure red cinnabar items are very popular, as are items which have both red and black cinnabar. However, the less common all black cinnabar is also available and is quite stunning.
Cinnabar bangle bracelets are a well known use of this material, but cinnabar is not limited to bracelets alone. Hand-strung and hand knotted cinnabar bead necklaces are lovely and add an exotic flair. Cinnabar beads can also be used in earrings, either alone or set off by metallic or black lava stone beads. Finally, as red and black are a classic combination, red cinnabar and black lava stone make particularly striking necklaces.

Skip to comments.Sources: Romney to endorse McCain for GOP nomination
Posted on 02/14/2008 10:33:34 AM PST by Robbin
Romney has withdrawn and asked his delegates to support McCain.
I guess Romney is about as "conservative " as McCain.
Well, I will never vote for Romney in the future either, he's written off his chances as I hate a "company man"
The only way we get a brokered convention is if conservative non-McCain delegates were to plan and stage an insurrection at the convention, and then convince enough McCain-pledged delegates to join them. I don't see that happening, and it is highly risky besides. Another (remote) possibility would be for a conservative "dark horse" candidate to announce his (or her) candidacy right now as a way of stopping the McCain bandwagon and certain disaster in November.
Crap. I was hoping he would not quit until after Pennsylvania's primary so I could vote for him. I guess I will write in Rick Santorum.
Ahhhhhh - that explains why I was confused (more than usual anyway).
I love that! I hadn't see him called the borg yet.
"Huckabee shouldnt have crossed the line with the Jesus and the Devil are brothers crap."
Payback's a bitch
Sucks, but its a great 'take that' to Huckabee! HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
There has never been a brokered convention in the modern primary era. Brokered conventions had about a 40 year period and then they were gone 50+ years ago.
But it is a deliberate distortion. They teach that "we all" are brothers.
Darn. I meant to put quotes around principled.
Thanks. I am a student of the Bible so I wouldn't know if the statement was out of context or not. I know Zero about the LDS doctrine.
This just turns up the heat on the Hillary / Obama pressure cooker.
What, did you expect him to give them to Hillary, like Ann Coulter?
What are we supposed to feel about him. One's a democrat, the other's a bigot. Who cares?
-we knew this was coming, didn't we?
Best served cold, too.
McCain is certainly more in line with Mitt's core convictions if you look at Mitt's extensively liberal record. I hope Juan would not be stupid enough to put another liberal (Romney) on his ticket. That would not be the way to try to woo conservatives.
I don't like this development, unless it means that Huckabee really pissed Romney off.
But still.... I don't like it.
Yeah, and huck claims to have ran a clean campaign. Sleazeball.
Well.... go read the Mormon doctrine.... truth hurts...
I think we know who the KINGMAKER is in the GOP.
And who's the Jester.
Who will be McCain's maverick?
Are there no men in the Republican Party anymore?
No distortion. Jesus and Lucifer were two brothers vying against one another to be the Redeemer so all of us other spirit children of the Mormon god could potentially become gods too. That isn't a distortion. That's the sad reality of Mormon doctrine.
I voted Romney in the primary because Fred Thompson had made it clear that he was out and McCain and Huckabee were entirely unacceptable. McCain because of his legislative record; Huckabee because I find it offensive to try to "trade on faith" as a Christian in either politics or business. I went Romney only because of those factors. It was after that vote that Romney suspended his campaign and I was afraid that he might give his delegates to McCain.
I'm not unifying with anyone. McKerry can kiss my BUTT- Which he and especially his follwers have so far failed to do!! To Quote William Wallace in Braveheart "Freedom"! or another one of our Founding Father "Give me liberty or give me death!"
LDS people think that we all are brothers, so that happens to include Jesus and anyone else. Huckabee feigned ignorance and tried to make it sound like Mormons worship Satan just like Jesus. 1) It was a stupid low blow, and 2) As a trained religious guy, Huckster should know better.
After that lie McCain said about Mitt about timetables during the FL primary?
>>So there, Huckster!<<
I agree. Say what you will about Mitt, he helpe end Hucksters dragging this thing on. I give him credit for that.
"With this move, I disagree. Im a huge Mitten...but I just cant stomach McCain. However, Im sure Romney has his eye on 2012, just like Reagan had his eye on 1980 in 76."
Well: why not privately lobby — maybe with your delegates to trash The Huckster's dream chances — McLame to be his Veep and then wait for that old codger to kick two years into his term? That would make him POTUS by 2010 — a whole two years earlier.
And BTW: Romney is no Ronaldo Reaganez.
I don't see any. Sad.
"Good career move for the principled conservative."
Someone needs to pick up the pieces in 2012.
This nation will need a Turnaround.
Well, it would be better than what I expect.
So, the only question mark that remains is the running mate. Will it be McCain/Kerry or McCain/Lieberman? Or perhaps if Juan's good friend Hillary Clinton doesn't capture the Dem nomination, McCain can give her a spot on the "Republican" ticket.
Watching McCrazy sew it up.....is like standing in the street and watching your house burn down....because the fire department got there too late....
Is he trying to kiss McCain butt to get the VP?
Worst mistake he could ever make. He should say goodbye to his 2012 hopes.
And Huckabee is a fool for taking out all his frustrations out on Romney and ignoring McCain...I guess this is Mitt's payback.
Speak for yourself. Now Romney's just another a-hole like the rest of the "conservatives" who are endorsing that stinking RINO.
I'm voting for a rat president, whoever it is and praying we get more conservatives into the house and senate.
They'll fight harder against socialism coming from a rat president than will against the same socialism coming from their own "Republican" president.
How is that a "betrayal"? Romney is out. Who's Romney gonna support? - Huckabee - ? John McCain is our Nominee. A betrayal would have been for Romney to have endorsed Hillary or Obama.
ManCrush can't get his calls returned from McCain.
I don't think so. I'm not a Romney fan, but he was better than McCain or the Huckster. I wasn't upset when Fred endorsed McCain or Duncan endoresed the Huckster. So the two guys that I would have voted for endorsed the only two guys I wouldn't vote for. They just about have to endorse somebody... It's a yawner to me.
Have we started to believe AP? Anyway, what's an AP Radio Report?
Well, it's now official. A Democrat will be the next POTUS.
About the same as Id feel if he threw his support behing Huck.
With Cain, Huck and Rom, we were in a lose, lose, lose situation no matter who got the nomination. It was only a matter which single-issue preference you were going for: WOT, Abortion, Economy--or some combination thereof.
All three sucked wind IMHO.

The House and Senate unanimously passed a measure that would impose the first limits on what lobbyists can spend in Georgia.
Lawmakers settled on a $41 billion state operating budget for the next fiscal year that cuts many state agencies but includes new education spending and bonds for new public projects.
Lawmakers approved an overhaul of who regulates video poker and other similar coin-operated machines. The plan opens the door for some proceeds to be directed to the HOPE scholarship program. The legislation moves oversight of the machines to the Georgia Lottery Corp. from the state Department of Revenue.
Legislators agreed to raise the cap from $50 million to $58 million on a program that gives tax breaks to individuals and corporations who give money to third-party groups that provide grants for to private school students.
Gun laws in Georgia will not change in 2013 because of disagreements between the House and Senate on whether to expand gun possession rights on college campuses. The chambers had competing versions of a wide-ranging overhaul.
