This style features Finn Comfort's Soft Insoles, which are more cushioned. Features include:
I have worn these sandals every day since I removed them from the box. At first I thought they looked too wide but the comfort I felt after wearing them a few days made that thought go away. The only drawback is that the top strap was rough underneath and I have a band aid there to keep it from rubbing the top of my foot. I have plantar fasciitis in my left foot and the Finn Comfort shoe is just about all I can wear.

Landowners in rural Berkeley County could see an increase in their fire-protection fees next year.
Berkeley County Council's committee on Justice and Public Safety gave initial approval to a proposal Monday that would increase fees on vacant lots and property — currently $2 to $25 per year — to $10 to $100 annually, depending on the acreage. The fee for houses would remain $70 per year.
The new rate would bring in an extra $160,000, which would likely be used for a study on countywide fire protection, said Councilman Ken Gunn, chairman of the Justice and Public Safety committee.
Councilman Caldwell Pinckney, who represents the rural area, said he would only support the ordinance if that were the case.
"I don't think currently that we are getting the kind of protection that we should because of the lack of equipment and some other things as well," he said. "I'm hoping that an outside, independent study would cause this to happen."
The fee will be assessed on land within the county's Special Fire Tax District, which was created in 1987 to help the 26 rural fire departments collect fees. Prior to that, firefighters often had to go door to door, and the amount they collected was their operating budget.
Councilman Steve Davis, who also represents the upper county, said he is "concerned about another tax on the backs of the people who can least afford it without some proper justification."
Unimproved land was targeted because the departments respond to more brush fires than any other types, Gunn said.

Version:1.0 StartHTML:0000000149 EndHTML:0000001340 StartFragment:0000000199 EndFragment:0000001306 StartSelection:0000000199 EndSelection:0000001306 In an anti-gay social climate that has led several young LGBTs to commit suicide in recent weeks, Kinetic Playground Nightclub has persisted in going forward with its booking of notorious "Kill Gays" performer Capleton next Saturday night.
A few weeks ago the Gay Liberation Network (GLN) politely contacted Kinetic Playground owner Jim Gouskos to inform him about Capleton's history and attempt to persuade him to cancel the concert. Gouskos claimed that he was locked into a contract which prevented him from canceling, to which we replied that many other venues, such as Chicago's House of Blues, have successfully canceled other "kill gays" performers.
In a follow-up conversation, GLN organizer Roger Fraser said that in the event that Kinetic Playground refused to cancel Capleton, there would be a protest. Gouskos replied, "Don't threaten me because I can get a bunch of goons outside to throw eggs at you guys."
Goons or not, the protest is now on --
Version:1.0 StartHTML:0000000149 EndHTML:0000002875 StartFragment:0000000199 EndFragment:0000002841 StartSelection:0000000199 EndSelection:0000002841 Please join and spread the word using the Facebook Event for the protest:
Background --
Capleton is a performer in the Jamaican "dancehall" tradition who promotes violence against Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) communities in his lyrics. One of his songs is entitled "Bun out Di Chi Chi," which translates to "Burn the Queer," and an example of one of his lyrics is the noxious:
"Shoulda know seh Capleton bun battyman,
the same fire apply to di lesbian"
("[you] should know that Capleton burns queers,
[and] the same fire applies to lesbians").
In 2004, Capleton's scheduled concerts in three venues in California were canceled after LGBT pressure was applied because of his calls from the stage to kill gays.
Losing lots of U.S. dollars because of cancellations, Capleton and a few other anti-gay reggae singers finally in 2007 felt compelled to sign a document known as the Reggae Compassionate Act, which is a pledge no longer to sing or otherwise profit from songs that promote violence against LGBT people. However, Capleton quickly violated the terms of the agreement. As a result, his tours in Switzerland and France were canceled in 2008.
As recently as last Christmas in a Jamaican concert, Capleton again loudly proclaimed to his audience: "All who a bun battyman and sodomite, hand up!" ("All who have burned queers and sodomites, put your hands up!") This outrageous call to celebrate murder caused LGBT activists in Long Beach, California, to mobilize, and promoters cooperated by canceling Capleton's invitation to participate at the prestigious Reggae Muffins Festival last February.
Our current protest has already generated substantial coverage in the reggae music press, and one of Jamaica's most prominent newspapers, The Gleaner, has given the protest surprisingly favorable coverage: http://www.jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20100929/ent/ent2.html
This Saturday night, please help stand up to the hate that promotes violence against young and old in our LGBT community.

Embarkation- We had spent the day before in New Orleans. We casually made our way to the boat. We walked right through with a little wait at the security X-ray check point.
Food: I am a vegetarian so my comments will not consider any of the meat, steak, or chicken choices that were offered. We enjoyed the food very much. We mostly ate at Raffles (buffet style). Breakfast had tons of choices. Bagels, breads, smoked salmon, capers, meat, biscuits and gravy, oatmeal, grits, eggs, fresh fruit, etc... The Indian food options were excellent. When we did eat in the main dining room we ate early to avoid any lines.
We did one night at the Japanese restaurant. The food was abundant, tasty, and the show is good too. The Blue Lagoon had food 24 hours a day. You must try the Won Ton soup!!
Staff: Everyone said hello, from senior staff to the person stacking the deck chairs. Our cabin steward greeted us by our name on the second day of the cruise and every day after that. Even when we were nowhere near our room, if he saw us he always shouted hello. We had three towel animals during the cruise (Rabbit, puppy, and elephant).
Cleanliness: They were always cleaning or scrubbing something. It seemed like our deck was cleaned two or three times.
Debarkation: Our scheduled time to leave the ship was 9:15 am. By 10:00 am we were at the airport. By 1:30 pm we were back home in Chicago.
After 9 cruises this was absolutely the most efficient disembarking we experienced.
My goal for this cruise was to relax and do nothing. We did not go any shore excursions. We really enjoyed roaming around the ship, eating, and sitting in the sun. Even on the sea days there were always chairs available somewhere on the ship.
We are very happy with the cruise and would consider NCL again.

But for a significant portion of the two-hour set at the Riverside Theater, Thomas, his three Matchbox bandmates and two touring musicians didn't appear to live in the moment as much as in the past, specifically back in the late '90s and early aughts when the band's barely impactful but catchy pop rock were a resounding soundtrack of the era. »Read Full Article(6)

#123 Organic Gardening - Creating a Garden Ecosystem
Kutztown, PA

But gardening organically also means to think of your garden as part of a whole ecosystem. Everything from water, soil and insects to wildlife and people play a valuable role in this system. Interviews with Maria and Maya Rodale of the Rodale Institute will shed light on this eco‐friendly way of gardening. This episode explores exactly what organic gardening is while guiding the viewers through the benefits and the bottom line. Chef Nathan uses apples to create a spicy fall dish.

Skip to comments.MSNBC ratings unexpectedly take a turn (for the worse)
Posted on 06/01/2013 7:51:05 PM PDT by SeekAndFind
Our friend Jim Geraghty stumbles across some numbers which may serve to take the collective temperature of the electorate more than any poll coming out of the political analysis factory. (This was also featured in the Morning Jolt, in case you're not signed up for it yet.) In the midst of a prolonged media strike on various "wacko birds" and a general theme that conservatives were once again in trouble, there seems to be a distinct lack of interest in politics on the part of the Obama faithful.
Read the complete rankings, May 2013 versus May 2012, via Nielsen:
Total Day
FNC: 1,246,000 total viewers, up 24 percent (236,000 in 25-54, down 5 percent)
CNN: 465,000 total viewers, up 61 percent (161,000 in 25-54, up 92 percent)
MSNBC: 346,000 total viewers, down 10 percent (115,000 in 25-54, down 7 percent)
HLN: 494,000 total viewers, up 111 percent (175,000 in 25-54, up 90 percent)
FNC: 1,973,000 total viewers, up 17 percent (308,000 in 25-54, down 6 percent)
CNN: 660,000 total viewers, up 70 percent (225,000 in 25-54, up 97 percent)
MSNBC: 539,000 total viewers, down 20 percent (175,000 in 25-54, down 19 percent)
HLN: 624,000 total viewers, up 91 percent (209,000 in 25-54, up 97 percent)
There are a number of nuggets to look at here, none of which seem to fit with current media gossip lines. Fox is up again, though not by a larger margin than you might expect. CNN Headline News was up massively, but as Geraghty points out, it was largely due to their wall to wall coverage of the Jodi Arias trial which kept all the gossip columnists riveted for months. CNN was the butt of many jokes for their jumping the gun on a number of stories, particularly the Boston bombing, but they still managed a staggering jump in their numbers. (Could that be because Jake Tapper joined the crew and lent some credibility to the network in the middle ground between the day shift and the evening?)
But who did that leave to soak up the losses? Yes… MSNBC. Particularly their evening, personality driven, opinion shows.
The soft start for All In With Chris Hayes has not helped. Hayes, down 32 percent in total viewers from The Ed Show last May, has offered a poor lead-in for MSNBCs primetime flagship, The Rachel Maddow Show, at 9 p.m. The show delivered its lowest-rated month since it debuted in September 2008 (717,000 total viewers) and its second lowest with adults 25-54 (210,000). Maddow was topped by typical time slot victor Sean Hannity and CNNs Piers Morgan.
I'm not sure which is worse… losing to Piers Morgan or to a spinal inversion therapy infomercial, which probably garnered about the same ratings. But viewer habits can sometimes tell us more than a snapshot delivered by a polling firm which relies on people willing to sit through a phone survey during an off cycle year. As Jim notes, even some of the most liberal bloggers are taking on a decidedly Eeyore tone and wondering if the boat is springing a leak.
Ratings aren't a perfect indicator either, of course, but it does seem to follow a pattern. Mid-term elections tend to produce low turnout for younger voters and the majority of liberal activist blocks. Or maybe the scandals in DC actually are taking a toll and disillusion is setting in. Either way, we'll need a few more cycles to see if this is a trend or an aberration.
I didn't think it could get any worse.
When you put fags and lesbians in prime time your bound to...go south as they say.
>> primetime flagship, The Rachel Maddow Show
Is that a typo? Shouldn't it be "fag"ship instead?
The only reason CNN is beating PMSNBC is because the commie libs have it turned on everywhere you go. Airports, McDonalds, doctor's and dentist's offices, hospital. You know, places where there is a "captive" audience.
RE: the commie libs have it turned on everywhere you go. Airports, McDonalds, doctors and dentists offices, hospital.
I wonder why that is... Any reason why these places can't turn on FOX News instead?
I don't know. I think most places think that if they turn on FOX, the commie libs will start whining, crying and wetting their pants and then start a boycott. Conservatives don't have time for that crap.
I always ask them to change the channel. Most of the dumbed down crowd go to whatever comes up first on the channel guide. They don't have a clue.
The media continues to refuse to admit that most Americans are not anti-American.
I'm from a coservative area in CA...... it's almost always FNC around here.
MSNBC is television's equivalent of watching used toilet paper.
I am sure Chrissy and Rachel are leaning forward as they bend over the bowl hurling at this news.
There are some mighty mean people over there.

And the flip side is that when they show MSNBC, all the conservatives walk past, mutter "What fools", and keeps going.
If we lodged a protest every time -- every time -- we saw MSNBC in a public area, we could probably make them permanently disappear.
And, you ain't seen nuthin' yet.
I watched Nancy Grace or HGTV (aka FREAKS gardening/ remodeling) simply because Sean Hannity has become unwatchable. He repeats the same crap over and over and over and over again, it is nauseating!
Seems pretty natural.
What does MSNBC have to talk about??
, versus what does FNC have to talk about? They got real stuff to report on,
Should be no surprise. Don't expect it to last forever.
The ratings data does not square with elections results.
We're a conservative Country held hostage to something very #ing evil.
Judging from the occasional glimpes of MSNBC I might catch while flipping through the channels, they obviously seem to be targeting the whiney, urban homo audience. Can't imagine anyone beyond that category finding it remotely palatable.
Of course, FoxNews hasn't been any great shakes in recent years either. Especially since Rove started appearing. Seemed to go from offering a mildly generic conservative voice, to a rather beltway-centric mouthpiece for the GOP establishment. They really lost me.
CNN? All I've noticed is that they seem obsessed with the topic of "race." Haven't given them the time of day in years, so can't even comment much on them.
Funny, I've always been such a news/political junkie, going back to the Reagan era, and used to watch just about everything to one degree or another. Just can't stomach it anymore. Don't watch any of it. I think the whole dreary, depressing 2012 campaign season just killed my longstanding interest and enthusiasm altogether.
Rachel is more likely leaning over a urinal.
I hope when MSDNC cans Al Sharpton, conservatives of every stripe will yell "racist" and "bigot" at the network for firing the only black prime time face they have. I'd love to see "lily white" MSDNC get a dose of their own medicine.
I stayed at the Marriott @ Newark Airport last week and happy to report they have Fox News on in the lobby!
If republicans, conservatives, and a bunch of mushy independents would JUST QUIT WATCHING the LSD channel they would not have any viewers left.
The only people that check in on MSLSD are folks that monitor them to see what they are sayin' and this is the problem.
MSNBC can charge money to advertisers because of viewers that monitor that mess which is often largely the right monitoring the left, (like republishing the Spitter and keeping him in business) people think that the federal government is a mess?
Just turn them off and Darwinisn will work.
No one believes the crap anymore. When liberalism is exposed for it's decrepit nature, people quickly abandon it until they are seduced by it's lies again.
Or maybe people just can't stand two people that look like Rachel Maddow back to back.
The local Shell gas station is owned by an Indian by birth (dot not feather) American by choice. His big screen on the wall is always tuned to Fox News. He gets all my business for gasoline and sundry items in the convenience store part.
Hit rock bottom and then started digging.
That MSNBC has not done this and has stayed politically pure and hard left, says that someone who pulls the strings is willing to forgo large sums of money for this ideological purity.
Not to mention Geraldo, Shep, Juan, Beckel etc.
What a God awful channel. MSNBC needs to be put down for good.
If cafeteria style cable ever comes about, MSNBC and their ilk will fold. As it is, they are part of a package and are supported by conservatives who have cable.
That's like being in the lowest pit in Hell and realizing there's a basement.
Well I guess that one of the three morons who watch MSNBC decided to come out from the dark.
Haven't watched MSNBCLSD in years. Nothing of value what-so-ever. Fox is getting close though.
We keep it on Fox even though I work with a large group of commies.
But then again I run the system and their whining falls on deaf ears. I love it when they roll their eyes when they get to see clips on the Nero Scandals.
One sleazy scandal after another emerged from the Ubama White House and people wanted honest reporting about them, so naturally they turned off MSNBC and went where they could get the news and the facts in a fair and balanced way.
These ratings reports are anything but "unexpected".
MSNBC, at this moment is on life support!!! A number of factors inside and out are at the apex of its multiple problems. First, POTUS Obama, ineffective with his agenda from the vey start of his second term, is truly a "Lame Duck" POTUS. Add to that the multiple (more to come) "Obama" scandals, one after the other, which are really just beginning and things get even worse as MSNBC tries to sweep the negative "Obama" news under the rug by covering political activity, that no objective person would consider important.
Add to these factors, a terribly weak & ineffective "line-up" of boring, non-factual shows, Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes, Al Sharpton, Joe & Mika in the AM, Chris Matthews, etc. Then, of course, add some liberal disgust with the "Obama Thug Mantra", coupled with a rising view from African-Americans, seeing that Obama has done zilch for them (They are worse off under Obama, then any other American POTUS) and they will be heavily weighted down and blamed for many years to come for their unfounded, unrewarded, undying support of Obama which has produced, little progress, gain or opportunity for Black and minority folks.
Bottom line: Obama is now damaged goods. He is going down, either sooner or later....but......he will either resign, be impeached or, most likely, just be rendered useless and ineffective as a criminal, thug, and tyrant leader. it happens to all despots, and....it will take its toll on Obama!!! The upcoming 2014 mid-term elections will clearly demonstrate this. Obamacare is dying on the vine, it may be overturned or, more likely altered with a common sense scapel knife.
MSNBC needs radical programming change right now!!! Otherwise, things will continue to detoriate until the MSNBC fails totally.
Actually, for the last month or two...a large segment of people are tuned into HLN for the murder trial episode, and I suspect that MSNBC lost a quarter of their viewership to that. Toss in the fact that this isn't an election year...fewer hyped-up viewers, and that generally explains the negative numbers.
Sadly, if anyone on the MSNBC staff had a contract coming up....they'd have to accept a pay-cut, rather than a pay-raise.
MSNBC....The JC PENNEY of TV.
Last week I was having breakfast in a hotel in NJ which is part of a large chain, and MUCH to my surprise Fox News was on every TV in the lobby and restaurant.
also in coffee shops and McDonalds on college campuses
RE: Add to these factors, a terribly weak & ineffective line-up of boring, non-factual shows, Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes, Al Sharpton, Joe & Mika in the AM, Chris Matthews, etc
For some strange, inexplicable reason, I find Al Sharpton and Chris Matthews to be programs that sometimes provide me comic relief...
How many respondents do they have these days? I assume it's Nielsen - maybe with cable it's another outfit — anyway, last I saw it was 5000 respondents for Nielsen...I guess for a country of 300M, 346000 viewers means 6 out of 5000.
So I suppose they don't have to increase sample size...yet.
From the link:
... it's not just MSNBC. The online left has seen a steep decline in traffic since the election as well, which indicates to me that our audience in general is simply not interested in following politics at the moment.
Most of the traffic to liberal sites was fake. Like fake twitterers... As much a lie as the astroturf Occupy Movement - with it's 'CraigsList hired protesters.
Chick fil A was the truth - almost a million
conservatives showed up. Liberals couldn't field 2 gays per store for photo-ops. Even with the press willing to 'meet them at an appointed time'....
The left has based their 'popularity on paid stooges and trolls.

Manipulators on the left will do what they can to make it appear the left is popular - including trying to gin up MSNBC's numbers.. You're right on that. But it'll fail.
Remember how almost a million people turned out for the Chick fil A protest - and the liberals couldn't field two gays for every store - even when the press was willing to 'meet them at noon'?
Liberal 'popularity' is a well crafted exercise in high level astrotrufing - it's based on paid trolls. Right now those trolls are up against the wall - because if they're outed at this time, the jig's up.
If there were a cable station that broadcast live footage from inside roller rinks, it would probably chart higher than MSNBC. Thanks SeekAndFind.
Watching paint dry is another possibility.

Vote For TV's Top Canine
It's the American Kennel Club's 125th anniversary--yes, they're the same age as Joan Collins--so they've rigged up a fun poll whereby you help pick pop culture's 125 top dogs. Yep, we're talking about America's favorite shedding, panting creatures--but let's not include the cast of The Jerry Springer Show, if you don't mind.
Among the esteemed nominees for TV pooch are The Brady Bunch's Tiger, who should get extra points for having to listen to all that crappy dialogue, and Full House's Comet, who had to endure cutesy banter, not to mention Jodie Sweetin's pre-meth stressing. But let's not forget Brian Griffin from Family Guy, who manages to drink martinis and smoke and still be witty and appealing. My paw is clicking for HIM to win!

UPDATE: DeForest woman cited 30 times for operating while suspended
UPDATED Tuesday, July 8, 2014 ---
Dane Co. deputies say a DeForest woman was stopped Tuesday morning and cited for operating while suspended for the 30th time.
Authorities say 24-year-old Leanna Norton passed a traffic team deputy in the Town of Burke around 8:30. The deputy made the stop and learned her driver's license was suspended.
Officials say Norton has paid all of her past fines and is eligible to get her driver's license reinstated on July 17th after paying a reinstatement fee.
The fine for operating while suspended is $200.50 and 3 points.
Officials say all 29 of her prior operating while suspended convictions have occurred since 2011.
Norton was also cited Tuesday morning for no insurance.

• Zymosan was administered intravenously in graded doses to Sprague-Dawley rats to investigate the hemodynamic effects of systemic complement activation. At two hours, thermodilution cardiac output, mean arterial pressure, heart rate, systemic vascular resistance, hematocrit, effective hepatic and renal blood flows, and percent change in total hemolytic complement activity were measured on all animals. Progressively increasing doses of zymosan produced characteristic hemodynamic changes of progressively deteriorating stages of hyperdynamic sepsis. In addition, complement activation resulted in a redistribution of systemic blood flow with hepatic hypoperfusion similar to that seen in sepsis. Renal blood flow was unaffected early after complement activation. Additional rats were studied from the control and a representative zymosan-treated group at 24 and 48 hours to determine if the hemodynamic changes observed at two hours persisted or resolved. All systemic hemodynamic measures returned to normal at both 24 and 48 hours. Liver blood flow, however, remained depressed and actually deteriorated overtime. Renal perfusion, which was stable at both two and 24 hours, fell below control values in the zymosan-treated group at 48 hours. We conclude that complement may be a mediator of both systemic and visceral flow abnormalities that precede, and perhaps precipitate, organ failure in trauma and sepsis.

Half my clique jack boys, they run off and attack boys
Turn niggas to track stars, when we get thirsty

You just started sipping lean, I'll take your purple drink
If I fall off again mayne, I'm runnin in the bank
You know I stay about that jacking, killing, robbing, and thugging
Whip ya head like cee-lo, slap ya like D-Bo
Go in his pocket, go in his drawers, go in his watch

Males advertise their presence by distributing pungent smelling anal secretions onto branches. This is thought to serve as a way to designate a meeting place between females and males. The female may also advertise that she is ready to mate by exerting a high-pitched scream. In response, interested males will move towards the female. If two males arrive at the same time, confrontation can occur. Confrontation between males is an upside down event. They grasp a branch with their hind limbs and swing with one or both forelimbs at each other until one of them gives up. The male that remains will mate with the female numerous times and then leave her on her own. Reproduction in C. hoffmanni also occurs in a hanging position.
Mating System: polygynandrous (promiscuous)
Breeding in Hoffman's two-toed sloths is seasonal. Pregnancy occurs during the rainy season and births at the beginning of the dry season. The gestation period is about 11.5 months and usually yields a single offspring. Newborns are about 25.4 cm long and weigh approximately 12 ounces. Offspring are born with claws, which are used to cling onto the mother soon after birth. The mother carries her young for 6 to 9 months, thereafter the offspring is independent. It has been reported that young are able to consume solid food as soon as 2 to 5 weeks. Nursing may stop as soon as the end of the first month. Sexual maturity in Choloepus hoffmanni is reached at about the age of 3 in females and 4 to 5 years in males. The inter-birth interval lasts at a minimum 15 months.
Breeding interval: Interbirth
Breeding season: During the rainy season
Average number of offspring: 1.
Average gestation period: 11.5 months.
Average birth mass: 0.34 kg.
Average weaning age: 1 months.
Range time to independence: 6 to 9 months.
Average age at sexual or reproductive maturity (female): 3 years.
Range age at sexual or reproductive maturity (male): 4 to 5 years.
Key Reproductive Features: iteroparous ; seasonal breeding ; gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate); viviparous
Average birth mass: 402 g.
Average gestation period: 350 days.
Average number of offspring: 1.
Average age at sexual or reproductive maturity (female)
Sex: female: 730 days.
Males typically lack interest following birth of offspring and are not involved in their upbringing. Females are the sole source of parental care following birth until independence. Newborns are partially precocial, although do depend on the mother for a short time. The mother carries her young wherever she goes, providing milk in the first month and solid food thereafter. While young are carried around by their mothers, they learn where and what types of leaves are best to eat. As a result of this, familial selectivity of tree types has been reported. Independence is usually acheived by 6 to 9 months.
Parental Investment: precocial ; pre-fertilization (Provisioning, Protecting: Female); pre-hatching/birth (Provisioning: Female, Protecting: Female); pre-weaning/fledging (Provisioning: Female, Protecting: Female); pre-independence (Provisioning: Female, Protecting: Female); inherits maternal/paternal territory

You are looking at a meal ticket
Raw in the kitchen, make T-Raw for a livin'
She said I'm too good? That's just how I'm livin'
Bitch can't get her, flat rate, for a hook-up
Same price as a hooker

And miss the benefits of shot caller
King Push

Trump Gave Money To Organization With "Years-Long" Relationship With Fox Host Sean Hannity
While Hannity Defended Trump On Fox News, He Failed To Disclose Personal Ties To Veterans Group That Received Trump Donation
Blog ››› ››› NICK FERNANDEZ
Fox News host Sean Hannity has vehemently defended Donald Trump from criticism surrounding his alleged donations to various veterans groups. But Hannity failed to disclose his own ties to one of the veteran's organizations that received a donation from Trump.
According to The Washington Post, as Hannity went to bat for Trump on the issue of donations to veterans groups on the May 31 edition of his Fox News show, he failed to disclose his "years-long relationship with one of the groups Trump had just chosen for a donation":
What Hannity didn't say on air was that he had a years-long relationship with one of the groups Trump had just chosen for a donation. The charity, Freedom Alliance, received a $75,000 gift.
That money had originally come from other big donors, who had entrusted it to the Donald J. Trump Foundation, on the promise that Trump would pass it along to individual veterans groups.
On Wednesday, there were conflicting accounts of Hannity's current connection to the group. In a statement, a Fox News spokeswoman said Hannity no longer works with Freedom Alliance.
"Sean Hannity has generously donated to, and proudly worked in the past with the Freedom Alliance organization, but has not worked with them for a number of years, including the current election cycle," a Fox News spokeswoman wrote.
But the president of Freedom Alliance told The Washington Post in a telephone interview that Hannity still remained informally connected to the group, telling others about its work. Hannity is not listed as an officer or employee of the group in its tax filings.
Trump has enjoyed a cozy relationship with Hannity since declaring his candidacy, with Trump at one point suggesting their close relationship was as if the two were "twins." Hannity has also been heavily criticized for being "very soft" with Trump in interviews.
Hannity has defended himself by asserting, "I'm not a journalist, I'm a talk show host" and said on his radio show, that he's not critical of Trump or Cruz because he wants the Republican nominee to win. He has also said he "absolutely plead[s] guilty" to "going soft in interviews on Republicans."
Fox News as an institution has also defended Trump's delayed donations to veterans groups, with various hosts suggesting they were "disturbed by" media "giving [Trump] a hard time" and that "there's something to be said for" the donation. Even Bill O'Reilly dishonestly argued that "there was no data … that said [Trump] didn't give the money" to veterans groups and that the story was "fabricated by anti-Trump people in the press." But according to CBS News, much of the money that was donated was dated "May 24, the day The Washington Post published the story questioning whether he had distributed all of the money."

OSHA News Release - (Archived) Table of Contents
OSHA News Release – Region 7
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 7 News Release: 04-108-KAN
Date: Fri., January 30, 2004
Contact: Norma Conrad
Phone: (816)426-5491
WICHITA, Kan. -- A statewide effort to identify, reduce or eliminate the hazards associated with exposure to lead in the workplace is a local extension of the U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) National Emphasis Program (NEP) on Lead. The Local Emphasis Program (LEP) will be conducted throughout Kansas for fiscal year 2004.
U.S. Labor Secretary Elaine L. Chao said, "The adverse affects to workers exposed to lead are well established. The primary goal of OSHA's National Emphasis Program is to eradicate these hazards in the workplace. Local programs such as the one in Kansas serve to amplify OSHA's commitment to ensuring the safety and health of workers in all occupations."
The OSHA LEP in Kansas has a five percent total reduction goal in the number of injuries and illnesses related to blood lead levels. The program will target general industry businesses that have the potential for employees to be exposed to lead. Prior to any inspections conducted by OSHA, area employers will receive information about the LEP, its purpose, scope, and selection criteria. Also, information about this program will be made available upon request to professional associations and labor organizations.

The goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms.
Lifestyle changes can be helpful in some cases of IBS. For example, regular exercise and improved sleep habits may reduce anxiety and help relieve bowel symptoms.
Dietary changes can be helpful. However, no specific diet can be recommended for IBS in general, because the condition differs from one person to another. The following changes may help:
- Avoid foods and drinks that stimulate the intestines (such as caffeine, tea, or colas)
- Avoid large meals
- Avoid wheat, rye, barley, chocolate, milk products, and alcohol
- Increase dietary fiber
Talk with your doctor before taking over-the-counter medications.
- Fiber supplements can make symptoms worse
- Laxatives taken for constipation can become habit forming
No one medication will work for everyone. Medications your doctor might try include:
- Anticholinergic medications (dicyclomine, propantheline, belladonna, and hyoscyamine) taken about a half-hour before eating to control colon muscle spasms
- Loperamide to treat diarrhea
- Low doses of tricyclic antidepressants to help relieve intestinal pain
- Lubiprostone for constipation symptoms
- Medications that relax muscles in the intestines
Counseling may help in cases of severe anxiety or depression.
Support Groups
Expectations (prognosis)
Irritable bowel syndrome may be a lifelong condition. For some people, symptoms are disabling and reduce the ability to work, travel, and attend social events.
Symptoms can often be improved or relieved through treatment.
IBS does not cause permanent harm to the intestines, and it does not lead to a serious disease, such as cancer.
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome or if you notice a persistent change in your bowel habits.

It comes as no surprise to security practitioners that managing security is becoming more and more demanding. Organizations are facing more threats, greater complexity and increased demand for both security and application connectivity. While many companies are deploying the latest and greatest technologies to fight back against cyber attacks, they often neglect their security policy management basics.
In his years of interactions with companies across pretty much every geography and industry vertical, Nimmy Reichenberg, vice president of strategy at AlgoSec, has found that going back to the basics is key when managing an effective security policy and a crucial first step in making your organization more responsive, agile, compliant and secure. In this slideshow, Reichenberg has identified seven common pitfalls organizations face and tips for how to deal with them.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26, 2011 -- The Under Secretary of the Army visited Fort Benning and the Maneuver Center of Excellence Oct. 25 to gain situational awareness and ensure the Army is correctly prioritizing, balancing and integrating resources to support the mission of this vital installation.
Honorable Dr. Westphal received updates from the Infantry and Armor School Commandants and visited various tenant units and organizations to speak with Soldiers and leaders throughout the installation.
"I am very impressed with the incredible capabilities here at Fort Benning and the professional manner in which our Soldiers are being trained and educated," Westphal said. "In every unit I visited, I saw dedicated Soldiers and Department of the Army Civilians that are committed to ensuring that our Army has the best equipped and prepared Soldiers in the world."
Westphal also received a tour of Fort Benning's newly renovated headquarters building, McGinnis-Wickham Hall, home of the the Maneuver Center of Excellence (MCoE). During the tour, the Commandants for the Armor and Infantry Schools outlined MCoE's efforts to continue evolving and nest shared focus areas between Armor and Infantry schools.
Honorable Dr. Westphal also visited the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (WHINSEC) and addressed 70 students and faculty during a roundtable discussion.
"It's critically important that we continue expanding partnerships in areas of mutual interest and expand security cooperation throughout Latin America and the Western Hemisphere.

Westphal also visited the United States Army Marksmanship Unit, the 75th Ranger Regiment and the National Infantry Museum & Soldier Center.

BEIJING—Chinese are trying to hurt Japan economically for leverage in a bitter dispute over contested islands, turning to angry protests and calls for boycotts of Japanese businesses, abetted in part by China's government.
Sporadic protests in China over the past week became larger and at times violent and spread to at least two dozen cities over the weekend. Protesters torched a Panasonic factory and Toyota dealership in the eastern port of Qingdao, looted a Heiwado Co. department store in the southern city of Changsha and ransacked Japanese supermarkets in several cities.
Though larger numbers of police imposed more order on demonstrations on Sunday, they fired tear gas to subdue rowdy protesters in the southern city of Shenzhen. In nearby Guangzhou city, protesters broke into a hotel that was next to the Japanese Consulate and damaged a Japanese restaurant inside.
Japan has demanded that China ensure the safety of Japanese citizens and businesses. "Unfortunately, this is an issue that is impacting the safety of our citizens and causing damage to the property of Japanese businesses," Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda told NHK, Japan's public broadcaster, on Sunday.
US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said on Sunday that he is concerned that island disputes in the Asia-Pacific region could spark provocations and result in violence that could involve other nations, such as the United States.
While it urged protesters not to resort to violence, China's government has also encouraged the use of economic pressure in the dispute over Japan's control over the East China Sea islands, called Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China.
China's National Tourism Administration ordered travel companies last week to cancel tours to Japan over the weeklong National Day holiday in early October and promised to compensate any businesses for costs they could not recover, said a lawyer who saw the written order and asked not to be identified because the document is not for public use.
The scale and violence are the worst in recurring waves of anti-Japanese protests since 2005, when lingering grievances over Japan's occupation of parts of China in the 1930s through World War II brought Chinese into the streets.
Since then, China's economy has supplanted Japan's as the world's second largest and its diplomatic clout and military firepower have soared. State broadcaster China Central Television on Sunday showed Chinese naval forces conducting firing drills in the East China Sea, though it did not give a date for the exercises.
Tensions have been growing for months over the East China Sea islands, since a right-wing nationalist Japanese politician vowed to buy them from their private owners to better protect them from Chinese encroachment. When the Japanese government purchased the islands this week to keep them out of the politician's hands, China reacted angrily, sending marine patrol ships inside Japanese-claimed waters around the islands.
State media, which answer to the ruling Communist Party, joined ordinary Chinese in calling for boycotts of Japanese goods. One regional newspaper ran a list of well-known Japanese brands along with calls for a boycott. China Central Television halted advertisements for Japanese products on two of its main channels over the weekend, according to China National Radio.
Nissan President and CEO Carlos Ghosn told reporters in Hong Kong last week that though so far the dispute had not had a discernible impact on sales in China, it might if it degenerates "into something more serious."
Imports from Japan are off six percent so far this year compared with the first eight months of last year, according to Chinese government figures.
A manager of a Sony laptop store in Shanghai said fewer people were coming into his shop. "We sold more than 100 last month, while in these 13 days in September, we sold fewer than 10," manager Yan Long said last week. "We all know these products are made in China, but with a Japanese brand, but it's just the way it is."
Calls for boycotts in previous rounds of China-Japan tensions have fizzled, so it's unclear whether this time will be any different. The Japanese and Chinese economies have robust trade and economic ties, and Japan is a major investor, its businesses providing jobs in manufacturing and services. A boycott or trade fight would likely hurt the Chinese economy at a time its growth is rapidly slowing and the Chinese leadership is worried about civil unrest.
At a Guomei electronics store in Beijing—teeming with flat-screen TVs, cameras and stereo systems—consumers seemed divided. "We should ban their products," fumed 70-year-old former soldier Sun Zhiyi as he left the store. "Japan's ambition is growing bigger and bigger. Our government is too weak."
Others, however, praised Japanese products for their good value. "Their quality is good and I will still buy them," said 20-year-old bank clerk Yu Jinsheng, shopping for a camera.
In 2010, China temporarily stopped exports to Japan of rare earth metals used in high-tech manufacturing after Japan arrested a fishing boat captain whose trawler collided with two Japanese patrol boats off the islands.
China could also threaten Japan with sanctions like it did with the United States in 2010 over Taiwan or cancel trade delegations, but this is unlikely because it could have a detrimental effect on trade relations, said Sarah McDowall, a London-based senior Asia-Pacific analyst at IHS.
"They need each other," she said.
Beijing is treading a careful line, wanting to pressure Japan over the islands and appear a staunch defender of Chinese national interests, without encouraging violence. Protesters in Beijing and several other cities carried portraits of Chinese revolutionary leader Mao Zedong. Though the current leaders use Mao as a rallying symbol, his radical policies have been abandoned and so carrying his poster is a safe, backhanded way of criticizing the government.
On Saturday, protesters in Beijing numbered in the thousands and nearly breached a metal retaining wall in front of the Japanese Embassy. On Sunday, security personnel outnumbered the protesters, who threw water bottles, bananas, tomatoes and eggs at the embassy and chanted slogans.
State media appealed for people to be "rational" on Sunday, in contrast to their more combative language last week. "The expression of patriotic feelings should not come at the cost of disrupting domestic social order," Xinhua wrote in a commentary.
Censors also stepped up their policing of social media to prevent news of protests from spreading. Users of China's popular Twitter-like Sina Weibo site couldn't search for the term "anti-Japan protests" on Sunday and videos of protests once posted quickly disappeared.
Further complicating matters, Japan's newly appointed ambassador to China, Shinichi Nishimiya, died Sunday, three days after collapsing near his home in Tokyo. No official cause of death was released. He had been appointed ambassador on Tuesday, and was to assume his new post next month.
Japanese should be stoned to death.
To date the Japanese still refused to apologize for the inhuman crime they committed during WW2.
I, a Burmese, welcome all Japanese companies and manufacturers in China to come and invest in Myanmar, where they will feel much safer, if they can no longer wish to do business there or are not wanted by China for business there.
Japanese companies can make their products anywhere they like, including burma. but, they are in china to sell their products more than to manufacture. in electronics, south korean and taiwanese companies are giving them a run for their money. in automotives, they are fighting tooth to nail with american and german companies. in financial sector, hong kong firms can wipe the floor the japanese companies. before this madness, they enjoyed brand recognition due to past success. but when they keep changing guards almost bi-annually at the top level, there isn't much of policy consistency in trade and foreign relations. Japan has no one but themselves to blame for this debacle.
China is causing problems everywhere. ASEAN beware. A big bad wolf in sheep's clothing.
The Chinese are bloodsuckers of the world while the Japanese government behaves well working with other democratic countries around the world. When the UN discussed about the human rights violation in Than Shwe's rule, China was the one who stood with dictators, never for the people. China was bad, China is bad and China will be a bad guy for those who love Democracy. Down with China or up with Japan.
These days Myanmar people prefer Japan to China the crony of the oppressive miltary government. China do not care about the Myanmar people.we should boycott China and Chinese business.
I am a burmese and am now proud to call myself one as well due to the reform. I have lived in Japan when i was a child and some korean and chinese seem to think Japanese has never apologized but that's incorrect, also how much of a money did Japanese give to these countries that have got affected due to war?
Do these people from those affected countries aware of it?Maybe not as there goverment would sensors these areas. So really, no one should be abusing japanese or accusing them. Past is past, war happened as Asia was colonised by caucasians and Japan toook the first step to fight against the colonisation of the west to the east, and have done it as it was in need of the resource. It can be said the same of germany but who is complaining here??Don't just start accusing Japanese this and that,study about history before even judging on your beliefs.
" some korean and chinese seem to think Japanese has never apologized but that's incorrect" They did apologized, but turned around and worship the very war criminals that committed the atrocities. not much sincerity out there, isn't it? just think how the jews the world over would respond had germans put up a hitler shrine and visit it at any given chace.
"Past is past, war happened as Asia was colonised by caucasians and Japan toook the first step to fight against the colonisation of the west to the east" oh. how sweet were the japanese? they tried to save asia from whitemen by killing off, raping, robbing the asian countries. if they wanted the resources, ever thought about buying or trading with other countries instead of robbing?
"It can be said the same of germany but who is complaining here??" again ever heard of german politicians worshipping war criminals? when japanese shows the same maturity, then they will ear the same respect the germans enjoy now.
history proves time and again that the country with bigger guns always set the rules. right now, the everyone looks up to the US not because it promote democracy, but because it has the biggest guns.
In burmese history, the mon kingdom became a part of burmese kingdom not because burmen were so righteous and nice and kind to Mons, but because burmen killed the Mon king, destroyed the Mon capital and brought all of Mon skilled labors to Pagan leaving nothing but a burnt-down city behind.
Even right now, you can see the burmen's kindness to Kachin, Rohingya et. al.
