OKLAHOMA CITY – The Amateur Softball Association (ASA) of America and USA Softball announced today the selection of Georgia's Brianna Hesson (Sugar Hill, Ga.) as the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Week for the week of March 21-27. Hesson helped lead then-No.4 Georgia to a three-game sweep over then-No.2 Florida, marking the first sweep of the Gators in Gainesville since 2006, while hitting .452 during the series.
The senior outfielder hit .500 on the week with a team best six runs scored, 10 RBI and five extra-base hits including tying for the team lead with three home runs. Eight of her RBI came against ranked Florida while the other two came in the victory over USC Upstate.
"Obviously, this is a big honor. It's kind of overwhelming to hear the news. I'm more in shock right now than anything," Hesson said. "The last couple of weekends I wasn't staying the process of the game, and I was more worried about the outcome rather than pitch-to-pitch. Staying the process this week helped me have the performance that I did not only at the plate but defensively as well.
"Our whole team did outstanding this week. Morgan Montemayor put on a show, especially with a three-hitter in our third game at Florida. We went out Tuesday for practice and Coach (Lu) Harris-Champer gave us the insight to not only build from the previous weekend at Alabama but to also continue to fight and get one-percent better as a team, and that showed this past weekend. You can't say enough about our defense that we kept battling and doing the little things that we need to do."
In the opening game against Florida, Hesson drove in Georgia's first run on a two-out single, and in the seventh, Hesson hit a two-out, three-run home run that proved to be the difference in the 10-7 victory. She followed that performance with another two-out, three-run home run in the fourth to help Georgia rout Florida, 13-5, in Game 2. Hesson helped Georgia clinch the third game win, going 2-for-3 with one RBI.
"It's a great honor for Bri to be named USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Week. I'm extremely proud of Bri. She is one of those players that works extremely hard and is always in it for her team," said Georgia Head Coach Lu Harris-Champer. "She's always puts her team first and is a selfless-hardworking player. I'm super excited for her success and this recognition for her."
With the sweep, Georgia (27-4, 8-3 SEC) improved to No. 2 in the ESPN.com/USA Softball Collegiate Top 25 poll released earlier today by ASA.
This is the first-time honor for Hesson.

Coho Salmon Range
The coho salmon is one of seven species of Pacific salmon belonging to the genus Oncorhynchus, and one of two native salmon species regularly occurring in California. It occurs naturally in the north Pacific Ocean and tributary drainages. It ranges in freshwater drainages from Hokkaido, Japan and eastern Russian, around the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands to mainland Alaska, and south along the North American coast to Monterey Bay, California (Figure 1).
Coho salmon historically ranged from the Oregon/California border (including the Winchuck and Illinois river drainages) south to the streams of the northern Monterey Bay (Snyder 1931; Fry 1973) including small tributaries to San Francisco Bay (Brown and Moyle 1991, Leidy and Becker 2001) (Figure 2). However, there is some evidence that they historically ranged as far south as the Pajaro River (Anderson 1995), the Big Sur River (Hassler et al. 1991), or even the Santa Ynez River (Lucoff 1980, as cited in National Council on Gene Resources 1982), although evidence of spawning populations south of the Pajaro River is anecdotal (Anderson 1995). Currently, the southernmost stream that contains coho salmon is Aptos Creek in Santa Cruz County (NMFS 2001a). Present distribution is shown in Figure 3.
Information on coho salmon in the San Joaquin and Sacramento rivers is sparse. Fry (1973) states that coho salmon did not occur in the Sacramento/San Joaquin river system prior to attempts to introduce them beginning in 1956. Hatchery fish returned in large numbers and spawned naturally, but were unable to maintain a natural run. Moyle (1976) notes that coho salmon in the Sacramento River are rare. It is likely that coho salmon historically observed in these streams were occasional strays (Hallock and Fry 1967; Hopkirk 1973). Intensive sampling efforts (trawling and beach seining) by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) in the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers and estuary have recorded no coho salmon caught since the project began in 1976 (USFWS 2001 unpublished data). For these reasons, the Department does not consider the Sacramento/San Joaquin river system to be within the historical range of coho salmon.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (71 votes).
In short: gretaDate of review: November 6, 2011
In short: Great organisation and good time of the year for a raceDate of review: November 4, 2011
In short: Roller coaster ride through parks, roads and off road trails. Very hilly so no chance of a PB. Great fun Date of review: October 1, 2011
In short: Ane enjoyable run though a lot of hills.Date of review: July 4, 2011
In short: Bring back the medal for all finishers!In full: 2nd year doing this race & it still had it's small friendly charm to it. To echo what others had said, the medal/mug situation was disappointing, I'm glad it's not just me who wasn't keen on the mug!! I feel it would have been a lot fairer for those who entered early to get the medal or at least have the choice, instead of doing it the other way round. Date of review: July 4, 2011
In short: A well run race Date of review: July 4, 2011
In short: Tough but enjoyable raceIn full: Friendly atmosphere but a tough course. This is the 4th year I have run it and it has not got any easier! The Marshalls are great and there are plenty of water stations. All abilities are welcomed.My only complaints are I would have like a medal rather than a mug. Also there was not a real goody bag this year, previous years we got a t-shirt etc. Also at the start line when we were running through the field the finish line set up was in the way and we had to run around it!Date of review: July 4, 2011
In short: warm day , but i always enjoy this race . hope its back next yearDate of review: July 4, 2011
In short: A well organised and enjoyable raceDate of review: July 3, 2011
In short: Another year, another hot race! Shame about the medal/mug situation at the end.In full: Although this was again a great race, and hopefully not the last despite the organising committee passing over the reigns after 25 years, it was a shame that not all finishers were allowed a medal. Those who had entry numbers from 1 - 350 received a 25th anniversary mug while the rest got medals. Perhaps those of us who got our entries in early could have received both. Just a little grumble but I know I wasn't the only one at the end who was a little disappointed with this decision.Date of review: July 3, 2011

Three Idaho Rush competitive teams will compete against top teams from Washington and Oregon in the first season of a revised Far West Regional League, battling for a spot at the Far West Regional Championships in Albuquerque, N.M., next June.
The U15 and U16 boys, along with the U17 girls, will travel to Seattle and/or Portland in December and January for the first round of play. The Oregon and Washington teams will return the favor with a trip to Boise in early March. The away leg for Idaho Rush will include participation in the 6th Annual PacNW Winter College Showcase, and both boys teams will face the Seattle Sounders FC Academy teams during league play.
Last summer, US Youth Soccer's Region IV responded to requests from numerous elite teams and clubs by transforming its Far West Regional League into three divisions. The three Idaho Rush teams will compete in the newly created Northern Division, composed of teams from Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, northern Nevada, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming.
"In the face of growing competition from all directions, it is clear the US Youth National Championship Series, of which the Far West Regional Championships is part, is still the most sought-after competition for determining national champions," said Region IV director Ken Edmunds. "The changes approved by Region IV will allow our state associations to serve the needs of our region's elite teams and clubs by providing the highest level competition leading to a true national championship."

Categories: Sauteing, Fish, Meat Thumbnails of Previous Next http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2011/7/8/3/HT_Saute-Meat-Beauty-1_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg How-To: Saute Meat and Fish Master these simple techniques and you'll notice the delicious difference. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2011/7/8/3/HT_Saute-Meat-Step-2_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Step 1: Prep Here's what you'll need: a heavy-bottomed skillet for meat and a nonstick pan for fish. Grab some tongs or a sturdy spatula. Preheat your pan over medium-high heat. You'll know it's hot when you can feel the heat by placing your hand over the pan. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2011/7/8/1/HT_Saute-Meat-Step-5_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Step 2: Season the Meat Make sure your meat is at room temperature and then season on one side. This side will go in the pan first. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2011/7/8/3/HT_Saute-Meat-Step-6_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Step 3: Add Oil Add some oil to the pan, but just a few tablespoons. Tip: Olive oil or a blend of olive oil and butter work well. The pan is ready when it starts to shimmer. You need the heat to get the sear. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2011/7/8/0/HT_Saute-Meat-Step-7_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Step 4: Start Sauteing Minimize splatter by putting the meat in like this, away from you. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2011/7/8/1/HT_Saute-Meat-Step-9_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Step 5: Don't Touch Season the top side. Don't touch the meat or move it in the pan. Let the pan and the heat do all the work. The pros know that's what helps to make a good sear. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2011/7/8/1/HT_Saute-Meat-Step-10_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Step 6: Watch for the Cook Line You want to see it cook about two-thirds of the way through this is called the cook line. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2011/7/8/5/HT_Saute-Meat-Step-11_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Step 7: Flip Away From You Now you're ready to flip and again, move it away from you. Lower the heat to finish cooking on the second side. Make sure to cook the chicken until it reaches a temperature of 165 degrees F on an instant read thermometer. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2011/7/8/0/HT_Saute-Meat-Step-13_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Step 8: Cooking Chicken Cook all the way through. The chicken should be firm to the touch, yet give slightly. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2011/7/8/0/HT_Saute-Meat-Step-14_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Step 9: Blot to Remove Excess Oil Blot on paper towels to remove excess oil. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2011/7/8/5/HT_Saute-Meat-Step-16_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Step 10: Sauteing Fish For fish, skin side down equals crispy skin. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2011/7/8/5/HT_Saute-Meat-Step-18_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Step 11: Watch for the Cook Line Look for the cook line again. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2011/7/8/5/HT_Saute-Meat-Step-19_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Step 12: Flip the Fish Use a spatula to turn and flip the fish away from you like before.

Will Herbalife End Up a Penny Stock?
You can find the presentation and slides at factsaboutherbalife.com.
I read the presentation and listened to Mr. Ackman state his case. I wasn't convinced and finished with the impression that I just read a "hit piece" relying more on emotion than logic.
I understand why many people don't like network marketing. I am one of them. I can't tell you how many times I have been approached about a "business opportunity." I have even received a card from a young lady selling Amway products in Beijing (I kept that card).
But even though I have no desire to join a network marketing program, it's advantageous for some people to do so.
Also, the low success rate of Herbalife representatives that Mr. Ackman presents as damning evidence isn't that different from those in other fields.
For example, the percentage of insurance salespeople who make more than $100,000 a year is probably similar to the percentage of successful Herbalife representatives.
Most people know the odds are against a new insurance salesperson, but that doesn't stop companies from letting prospective agents know the "incredible income potential" available.
Usually a person must become licensed before selling insurance. To become licensed, they often must attend and pay for a week or more of classes. All things being equal, the cost to test an individual's entrepreneurial fortitude is much lower with Herbalife than it is with insurance sales.
Same holds true for another popular self-employed sales job, the real estate agent. For most new agents, the start-up costs are much greater than they are with Herbalife. I doubt that more than 1% of new agents go on to have other agents working for them and make more than $100,000 a year.
The odds of success in starting a small business are low, especially for people with limited financial resources. This is true for network marketing and most other businesses. Success in sales is not easy for most people, and the product is not nearly as significant as the salesperson's attitude.
I selected a few noteworthy slides that attempt to paint Herbalife and independent contractors in an unusual light relative to other businesses practices.
Slide 102 states, "In Canada, distributors must pass through 14% of sales taxes in addition to the surcharge to capture full Retail Profit." Well yes, that goes for any product sold at retail. There is nothing unusual or out of the ordinary for a business to collect sales tax in order to realize a full retail markup. In most businesses, paying for shipping of the product is part of the expense of doing business.

Skip to comments.Youre old. Get over it.
Posted on 10/26/2012 8:50:06 PM PDT by null and void
We all know its out there. Lingering. Waiting to impede. Still, I wasnt expecting it for at least another five years. Ive heard it hits women earlier than men, but now, already? And on my birthday, too. Ouch.
When having coffee with a long-time friend, who also happened to be one of my first managers, an open position at her company came up in conversation. She and I have maintained a good relationship since I worked for her back in the 1990s. We make an effort to follow each others careers, even though we havent worked together in more than 15 years.
She wondered if I knew of anyone for the job and said: Were looking for someone just like you, who can do all you can do, except young.
Excuse me? I pointed out that at just having blown out the candles on my 35th birthday cake, I am young, or at least on the younger side. Certainly not old.
Now, I have to admit, I had watched some Matlock that morning, I knew there was a storm coming because of some knee pain, and, yeah, the photo run with this blog was taken many moons ago when I was, by most definitions, young. But old, no -- Not over the hill, not stuck in my ways, not without the spirit and attributes many assign to youth: ability to learn quickly, willingness to experiment with new ideas and to conform with new corporate cultures, freshly educated, and up on the latest processes.
Had I turned 35, 45, 65, or 85, was not the point. These attributes are not defined by ones age on a drivers license but by mindset and dedication to ones career.
My friends reply was short but not sweet: Youre old. Get over it.
My coffee had turned bitter and so had I. If she wanted someone who could do all I could do, she wanted someone with more than a decades worth of experience. You dont get that in a 20 year old.
Just a few years after I had worked with this woman and in between full time jobs, I worked with a career strategist and wrote resumes for some very experienced people. Mask their experience level, I remember being told because, although this was sugarcoated, age discrimination exists. If you list 20 years of experience on a resume, its presumed the candidate is either at too high a salary level or out of touch -- just plain old.
In the time since this blogs headshot was taken, Ive been honing my craft, solving problems, working with engineers and other editors on a daily basis to grow my experience, and become a more well-informed force than would have been possible when I started my career.
Unfortunately, we live in a world of Mark Zuckerbergs, where the flashiest new idea often comes from someone not old enough to remember the Reagan years, let alone be born before them. These shining stars are allotted tremendous power and influence over industries. Im scratching my head, gray hairs and all, and wondering why.
Why value the inexperience and ignorance that often accompanies youth? Why not hold higher the experience, knowledge, and sharpened creativity that only comes from decades in a field?
There are plenty of smart young guns out there who deserve respect. We at EDN often make efforts to bring the next generation of engineers along and encourage them to make the commitment to engineering that develops into 20, 30, or more years in a career. But for the current generation of engineers, its a disturbing fact that age discrimination undervalues know-how and insults the importance of careers and ingenuity.
Sickeningly, I suspect many reading this have been the victim of age discrimination in some form or another. Even in such a minor brush as experienced over this birthday coffee, age discrimination hinders the ability to share experience and knowledge. Ultimately, that dampens the strength of employees and weakens the field of engineering.
Weve had two high-level members of the electronics industry announce plans to retire in recent weeks after long, stellar careers that made massive contributions to electronics: TIs Gene Frantz, who you can read about here, and Avnets Roy Vallee, who we spoke with a few weeks ago.
Vallee pointed out in the interview with EDN that careers are marathons, not sprints. Honor and recognize those who run the marathon over decades, who have proved their strengths and dedication to engineering and design, not just those starting the race.
If that former manager can't see that you don't get to be "Just like you" without gaining in years then you wouldn't want to work for them.
Every few years I raise my definition old.
Of old.
60 is the new 40. Really.
I'm old, and I don't try to deny it with the "you're only as old as your mind tells you" crap. One of the most annoying commercials on tv is the one where this woman says she doesn't need one of those phone alert things to call for help because "thats for old people." She's gotta be in her 80's. Every time the commercial comes on I want to yell "you're old,,,accept it!"
I'm glad to hear that since I turned 60 last month .... :)
Personnel droids batten down the hatches when they hear it is nearby.
I know what a squat switch (WOW switch) is, and can do 802.11(whichever) math, rf and/or binary, depending. I also cook.
Forget drawing a regular paycheck doing any of that kind of technical stuff. Thanks, we'll give you a call.
Build it yourself or give up, after a certain age. I'm not likely to turn me down for a job for being 'too old'.
Thanks! Nice to receive on my birthday ;-)
Ain't that the truth.
Of old.
Worst sign of growing old is forgetting prepositions.
LOL, I know. It's going fast.
In one of his debates Ronaldus Maximus (who was 73 when he was reelected in '84) defended himself against charges he was too old to be president by saying:
"I want you to know also I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience."
I hada friend the other day, she is 65, ask me whether there was a medical reason for her wrinkles.
She thought she might be dehydrated...lol
I've gotten to the point where if I can't find something, the first place I look is in the refrigerator.
Or pretty, in my case. ;)
The up side is you can say pretty much whatever you want.
August was 60 for me. :) I love it! People now MUST listen to us. We have gravitas!
One should respect their elders but as time goes on they get fewer and fewer in numbers. Rather than accept growing old gracefully, I fight back. Try parachuting out of a perfectly good airplane sometime. Or para sailing. The older I get the less fear I should show. I'm going to die anyways. Don't fear the reaper the song says. I came into this world naked, kicking and screaming and with somebody elses blood all over my body and I can go out the same way.
What an arrogant idiot. She has got to be in Silicon Valley and probably a big Obama supporter.
:) Nobody EXPECTS "pretty" at this age—unless they're in Hollywood; but I laugh at them more than they can scoff at me. ;)
I've grown to be a creature of comfort—and there's great success in that endeavor! Hollywoodies are fighting a battle that they cannot win; and I'm playing a hand that I cannot lose.
I kept them because I might have to eventually go out somewhere without a shirt on.
Date night? Pool party? Not without ironing my skin first. ;)
Preacher is talking about enemies at the rostrum... He's fired up. Asks if anyone in the congregation doesn't have an enemy....
Everyone is silent, but a hand slips up on the third row.. Miss Annie.
The preacherman is flabbergasted, and says "Miss Annie, come up here and tell the congregation how that it is you don't have any enemies".
The geriatric crowd helps Miss Annie to her walker, and shuffles her up to the podium....
She leans into the microphone and says...
"I outlived all them bitches"...
You need to set your sites a little higher; trust me...
You need to set your sites a little higher; trust me...
If people in their 30s are unhappy because they think no one will hire them due to their age, why not start a company of their own and hire. . . people in their 30s.
It seems to me there are just as much "older" as "younger" people out there. "Older" can hire "older" if they like.
Start their own business if needs be.
She sound kinda thick in the skull.
We are hiring experienced people.
I work in the electronics industry.
There are still a lot of things that I have learned that are great as I get older, like Shortcuts!!! I have honed the art of finding a way to do most things easier, and with less physical, emotional, effort.. HA!
Next, I find I have little patience for excuses, not that I don't make my own excuses, usually I use the reason, because I am too old.. LOL
I just can not accept reasons for incompetence, when I know from experience that most people find that their dissatisfaction in life has more to do with their own refusal to do what has to be sacrificed to better their conditions.. I know that because I have used most of those reasons..
Also, I love being OLD, because I now can say anything that I want, and most people let me get away with it because he's harmless, and just an old fool!!!
Lastly, it's great being old, nobody expects you to do much of anything, because .. DRUM ROLL... your too OLD.. ! :)
Oh! and by the way, a lot of these young "potential" superstars have not got a clue about the "industry"
I had a 4.0 college grad ask me what solder is.
They know how to use matlab, but us old guys tell them what to use matlab for.
And quite frankly we did that stuff without crutches.
Any chance he was just joshin'?
My organization is full of twenty and thirty somethings and we can engineer the hell out of anything.
Over 70 .. Not old .. Chronologically challenged .. !
You know, when they were saying Dick Chaney had that, I wondered if it was fatal...
So far it hasn't been..
I finally got my dad out of Detroit at the age of 83...He told me one day that the apartments were full of old foggy's. I had a laugh at that one...learned old is anyone older than you...
We can have stuff done before your old fogey ass even has time to put your orthopedic shoes on. Matlab is just one of many tools at our disposal.
Serious as a heart attack.
Smart guy , but NO experience.
They sent him to me to learn the ropes.
Why calculate a circuit, send endless email, negotiate what needs to be done, waste a pile of time, Get planning involved, cut a new work order, to change a value on a resistor when I can slip in a pot, tweek the thing and solder down a new resistor in .5 hours?
Hey kid, I just turned 75!
I am older than any of you so do what I say, then leave me alone!
I am aware that matlab is one of many tools at my disposal.
I'll bet we have more tools at our disposal than you do. We can do Matlab or we can tweak pots. Whatever it takes. But I guarantee we can smoke your old ass in any situation.
One of the things I try to teach the young fellows is who the end user is and what do they need?
I try to get them to keep maintenance in mind in the field.
I think we build a better product that way for folks under fire.
I try to get the egghead in the foxhole.
Punk! LOL
Yeah, we think of all that stuff. We consider the maintenance angle. We consider the user angle. We engineer the hell out of our stuff. And trust me, we know what solder is.
See, you miss my first rule of respect for military gear.
I want this stuff to serve the fellow who uses it and maintains it.
Maybe your Cal Poly *** can crunch numbers with tools that old geezers built for you, but you have to respect everyone in the process for the process to be valid.
Let us snark no more.
I am just telling you my experience.
I wasn't ragging on young fellows or old fellows.
I find that experience is the best school.
I just said we keep that stuff in mind. We sweat bullets making sure our stuff works in the field.
We can crunch numbers from top to bottom using tools or doing it by hand. Granted we may have to go to a book to do it by hand. But we can do that. No problem.
In any case we get more done by lunchtime than you could do in a week or more.
We were on the same page until your last punkass line of commentary.

As recommended, I kept it 90 for 24 hours and saw a little bubbling. Then I fed it and reduced the temp to the high 60's.
I've followed the instructions. Directly from the activating instructions on the website;"Mix well all of the dried culture with 105 grams of flour (¾ cup) and 225 grams of warm water (1 cup). The proof (fermentation) is started at close to 32oC (90oF). This temperature stimulates the lactobacilli to rapidly acidify the culture which prevents contamination by non-sourdough organisms found in almost all flours. At the end of the first 24 hours a few bubbles may appear as the first sign of growth and activity. Subsequent feedings should be140 grams of flour (1 cup) and 170 grams water (¾ cup) at approximately 12 hour intervals with the temperature reduced to around 21oC (70oF)"Do you suggest a different protocol based on your experience? Thanks!
I'll put it back in the box at 90 and report back in a day or so. Thanks for your help.
I looked at TXCraig's predictive model table and have decided to remove 2 of the doughballs from the fridge and let them rise at room temp...
Barry - What a fantastic slice!John

All required courses are offered on-campus and/or online. All courses for the MIT program can be completed online via KYVC.
Medical Information Technology graduates prepare medical records and reports, maintain paper and electronic files, order supplies, perform accounting procedures, work with medical insurance and coding, and receive patients in a variety of health care settings. Students enrolled in the degree or diploma programs are required to do an internship or capstone course. Certificates build toward completion of diploma offerings and ultimately diploma offerings build on the degree tracks.
The actual time it takes to complete any of the credentials offered in the program depends on the background and needs of each individual student. Most students want to know "How long will it take for me to complete this program?". Some things to consider when determining how long it will take to complete the program includes the following: Do you have any completed or transfer coursework that can be used toward the credential? Do you have any development needs in reading, writing, or math? How many credit hours can you take each semester? All of these are variables in how long it will actually take to complete the program.
The Medical Information Technology program offers degree tracks, diplomas, and certificate options. Certificates can typically be completed within two semesters. Diplomas can typically be completed within three semesters. The AAS Degree Tracks can be completed within four semesters.
It is expected that careers in the health care field will increase over the next 10 years. A good resource for employment trends and salary information is the United States Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics. It is recommended that you view the Occupational Outlook Handbook at their website http://www.bls.gov/.

In Delaware State's Public Relations and Advertising program, students learn by doing. The program is built around hands-on, project-based assignments that simulate real-world PR situations. It culminates in an off-campus internship that yields professional contacts, builds student resumes, and provides the job-ready skills that employers look for in new hires.
Students develop superior writing skills and learn to write for a range of media, including print, broadcast, and the Internet. They also learn layout and design, while working with state-of-the-art digital graphics technology. Above all, they cultivate a sense of how to communicate strategically — how to motivate an audience, influence public opinion, and change behaviors.
Professional Prep
Our public relations graduates have a successful track record of employment. In addition to landing jobs with advertising firms and public relations agencies, Delaware State grads have found work as in-house publicists and writers for corporations, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations. Others have gone into the radio, television, and newspaper industries.
The Public Relations and Advertising program cultivates a broad range of industry-specific skills, including
- public relations writing
- branding and campaigns
- public opinion research
- organizational communications
- news writing and editing
- layout and design
Delaware State has a campus chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA), where students can network with working professionals. The campus chapter also sponsors resume writing and interviewing workshops.
Delaware State's Mass Communications instructors teach from experience. All have spent years in the communications industry and are able to convey both the theoretical and practical concepts that students need to build their careers. In public relations, the faculty includes David Skocik, author of Practical Public Relations for the Small Business and an active official in the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA). The mass communications faculty also includes documentary filmmakers, online journalists, and veterans of the newspaper, television, and radio industries.
Research and Experience
Students gain extensive public relations and advertising experience during their two field work experiences. The first of these, an on-campus practicum, takes place during the junior year, and another (an off-campus internship) consumes the entire second semester of the senior year. These first-hand experiences play an invaluable role in helping students land their first job and transition into the workplace.
Some undergraduates from the department have participated in the McNair Program, winning research stipends and presenting their findings at national conferences. All mass communications students have the opportunity to present original research on campus every spring during Honors Day.

Take Pride in Genny
I, for one, LOVE Genesee beer.
So it makes me happy to see the recent resurgence of Genesee Brewery beers here in Rochester. Ten years ago it seemed that most of the conversation about Genesee brews was negative, usually involving references to the water quality of the Genesee River. But over the past few years North American Breweries, headquartered here in Rochester, has done a great job raising the level of quality at the Genesee Brewery._ I think it's time for more people to start taking notice.
North American Breweries has made a strong effort to dispel the negative stigma through their marketing campaign and community involvement. I personally am a big fan of the throw-back Genesee label, drawing on the historic substance of the brewery. Many people don't know that the Genesee Brewery is one of the oldest breweries in the nation, founded in 1878. Aside from the years during Prohibition, the Genesee Brewery has been a consistent employer here, helping support Rochester families for generations.
North American Breweries is also working to contribute to Rochester's vibrant community. In fact, this coming weekend they are throwing a huge two-day party at the Genesee Brewery known as "Rock the Cans" and "ROCtoberfest." On Friday (9/16), "Rock the Cans" is a concert with a line-up full of big name bands (Buckcherry, Papa Roach, Puddle of Mudd, P.O.D., Red, Crossfade, and Drive A) for $30/ticket. Then on Saturday (9/17), "ROCtoberfest" is a FREE admission event featuring local area bands, Zweigles hots, and Genesee brewers on-site to talk to people who are interested in the brewing process. If you haven't been to the brewery for a tour recently, this is a great opportunity to see how much has changed. Check out the brewery's website GeneseeBeer.com for more info.
I say it's about time to start taking a little more pride in the Genesee Brewery. Between the classic line of Genesee brands, the craft-style Dundee line, or even Seagram's Escapes – all made at the Genesee Brewery – it isn't hard to find something you like that is brewed right here in Rochester. So next time you're at the store, show Genny some love!
To learn more about other sources of Rochester pride, such as the Rochester Public Market and local entrepreneurs establishing themselves in our community, check out the Rochester Young Professionals website, go to the Event Calendar, and find something that piques your interest!

More Part-Time Work Means More Poverty, Study Shows
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Part-time work has always been a big part of the American story.
Generations of Americans can recall their experience in part-time work.
- Think of a dad working a second, part-time job to pay the mortgage and to get the kids through college.
- Think of a graduate student working to pay off a student loan and keep some extra dollars while training to become a doctor, lawyer or business executive.
- Think of a 16-year-old taking fast food orders at Burger King -- it's her first job ever and an opportunity for some extra cash for college and hanging out with friends.
In the second decade of the 21st century, however, the employment landscape is changing. More and more Americans who want full-time work just can't find it and have to settle for part-time work just to get by.
That's the consensus from the Carsey Institute at the University of New Hampshire, which offers a fresh look at part-time jobs in an economy that has yet to recover fully from the Great Recession. It's not a pretty picture.
"Part-time employment increased dramatically during the recent recession for both men and women," explains Rebecca Glauber, assistant professor of sociology at the Carsey Institute and a lead researcher on the study.
Some underlying data:
- The single largest five-year increase in involuntary part-time employment since the 1970s occurred between 2007-12.
- The involuntary part-time employment rate more than doubled between 2007-12. For women, it rose to 7.8% from 3.6%. For men, the rate increased to 5.9% from 2.4%.
- While the unemployment rate has fallen slowly since 2010, the rate of workers in involuntary part-time positions has remained relatively constant.
"Individuals work part time for many reasons. Some do so to care for children and elderly family members. Others do so because they are in school. Yet others work part time because they cannot find full-time work," she says. "This latter reason may be a cause of concern for both workers and employers, as well as those interested in the long-term productivity and efficiency of the U.S. economy."

Monday, March 12, 2012 - Badminton World Federation | Jan Lin
The winners of the inaugural 2011 BWF Media Prize have been decided upon with journalists from India, China, Korea and Malaysia taking the honours.
The BWF Media Prize's Story of the Year was inaugurated in 2011 to encourage quality journalism surrounding the sport's commercial series – the OSIM BWF World Superseries, the players and stars on tour, and the sport's development.
Bangalore-based journalist Dev Sukumar's "How the Danes Down Goliaths" article, published by Sports Illustrated (India) in December 2011, won the 2011 BWF Media Prize's English Story of the Year.
It was an exceptional piece of investigative sports journalism that unraveled the ingredients of the sport's success and development in Denmark, the European badminton powerhouse.
Beijing-based journalist Zhang Nan's "The 2011 of Guo Zhendong and Chai Biao: Bridging a generation gap" published by Tencent Sports in December 2011, was the 2011 BWF Media Prize Chinese Story of the Year.
With a feature of the world number 5 Chinese men's doubles pair, the story followed their 2011 journey, demystified their struggles and reconciliation.
The top two winners have won a free trip to the 2012 Thomas and Uber Cup Finals in Wuhan, China. While their respective publisher/media agency was each given an OSIM uPhoria leg massager, courtesy of OSIM International, the title sponsor of the BWF World Superseries. Four merit winners were also identified and each journalist will take home with them an OSIM uCozy shoulder and neck massager.
OSIM's partnership with BWF in presenting the prizes of the BWF Media Prize serves to complement its position as a firm believer of inspiring the well-being of various stakeholders of the sport. Players competing on the BWF World Superseries have won a variety of OSIM massage products for being winners. The Player Lounges and Press Rooms of these events are often equipped with OSIM massage products as well.
Details of the 2012 BWF Media Prize will be announced on the BWF website this month. Media who would like to be on the BWF Media mailing list, please write in to Jan at email@example.com.

Being a newbie to baking(pizza), this whole bakers percentage is getting the best of me. Maybe because I suck at math or maybe bc I havent came across a good explanation. So take this recipe in bold for example:The formulation I used for eight 300 (plus a gram or 2) gram dough balls is as follows:Flour - 1520 g - 100%Water (room temp) - 928 g - 61.05632%IDY - 4.3 g - .282895% (measured as 1 teaspoon)Sea Salt - 38 g - 2.5%My question is how do I titrate the recipe according to pizza size? Say I want to make two 16 inch pizzas with this recipe?Sorry if this maybe be a dumb questions but Im learning
Pete, please site. I searched but wasn't successful.
Thanks all . Let's say I wanted to use this recipe to make 2 300g balls. I know the percentages would stay The same but how do I figure our each ingredient in grams??

Effective n great tasting. Must have in every household.
Most Effective Cough Syrup EVER
Posted by Reviewer1435755 on Jul 21, 2012
This cough syrup is amazing! It is alcohol free, safe for the whole family, & soothes the harshest cough, allowing you to sleep without interuption. It also helps with congestion & drainage. It's affordable & comes in children's packaging as well, which looked to me to be the same ingredients. The kids compare the taste to Dr. Pepper - not at all medicinal tasting.
Wonderful and QUICK!
Posted by cristal on Sep 06, 2010
My father had a nasty cough. I gave him this, thinking it'd take a few days. However, he was better the next morning (also used Source Naturals liquid Vitamin D3 and Herbal Wellness Syrup).
Calms coughs quickly
Posted by Reviewer1185241 on Nov 30, 2011
Bought this for my elderly dad who had a very annoying dry cough which didn't seem to go away. Always relieved the symptoms and allowed him to sleep comfortably. Highly recommended.

We believe in homeopathy and it helps us much just be patient and follow directions for usage. We use this one simultaneously with Silver Colloidal Spray of this Company for nasal health.
Wonder full stuff

CANANDAIGUA – Thompson Health, the Partnership For Ontario County, Inc. and the Ontario County Sheriff's Office are hosting a medication drop-off on Saturday, Oct. 26, from 9 a.m. to noon in the Sands Cancer Center parking lot at Thompson Hospital.
The purpose of the event is to collect and properly dispose of unwanted and outdated prescription and over-the-counter medications, keeping them out of the wrong hands and out of the watershed.
The Sands Cancer Center parking lot faces West Street and is just south of the Eye Care Center. Volunteers will direct community members' vehicles to a section of the lot for a drive-by drop-off, overseen by deputies. Pharmacists will be on hand to answer any questions. The Ontario County Sheriff's Office will then deliver collected medications to Covanta Niagara for immediate incineration. Consequently, there is no need to obscure any identifying information on the containers themselves.
Household wastes, pesticides, and similar items will not be collected at this event. Residents who have mercury or mercury-containing devices will be instructed to hold that material until the next Ontario County Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Day.
Since 2010, more than 3 tons of unwanted medications have been collected in Ontario County. In addition to the Ontario County Sheriff's Office, the Partnership For Ontario County and Thompson Health, the initiative includes the Ontario County Office of the Aging, Ontario County Office of Planning, Ontario County Public Health, Finger Lakes Visiting Nurse Service, Lifetime Care Home Health, Turnings (an Ontario County substance abuse prevention/treatment program), the Canandaigua Police Department and others.

The 66th annual Daniel Boone Festival in Barbourville last week brought local attention to Union College's parade float, a student initiative that garnered a first place award.
The float, sponsored by the Union College Ambassadors and Union College Student Government Association, won the Dr. Karl Bleyl Award, a top prize.
The theme of this year's parade was "Honoring Daniel Boone." In keeping with the theme, Union students featured on their float Daniel and Rebecca Boone with their small child. These characters were portrayed by a Union College student family: Eric and Robin Kinman, and their daughter, Iris.
The float represented the Boones as they made their trek across the wilderness trail. Along the sides and on the back of the float was a quote from Daniel Boone, which read, "Curiosity is natural to the soul of man, and interesting objects have a powerful influence on our affections."
The college's participation in the parade, along with the award they received, honors the Union College professor who was instrumental in creating the festival. Dr. Karl Bleyl helped establish the festival in 1948 as a way to celebrate the recently signed Cane Treaty between the people of Barbourville and the Cherokee Nation. According to the treaty, the Cherokee people could gather, without a fee, as much cane from the Barbourville area as they wanted.

Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Peter Stoffer Sackville—Eastern Shore, NS
Mr. Speaker, in the previous government, the Liberals spent millions of dollars to find out that privatizing the supply chain was not only irresponsible, but extremely costly to the Canadian taxpayer.
My question for the Prime Minister is quite clear. Are there any discussions with Haliburton or any other companies regarding the privatization of the supply chain of Canada's military?
National Defence
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Edmonton Centre
Laurie Hawn Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of National Defence
Mr. Speaker, the government takes the supply of our troops extremely seriously. There have been some issues raised recently by the Auditor General, who alluded to about a penny on the dollar of the money that is spent to equip our troops.
After a decade of darkness under the Liberals and a long period of utter contempt by that member and his party for any kind of defence spending, I find it a bit ironic to get a question on an item like this by him.
The Auditor General, in fact, praised the department for taking action on the items she raised with respect to the supply system, even as her report was underway. As usual, we are getting the job done.
National Defence
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Peter Stoffer Sackville—Eastern Shore, NS
Mr. Speaker, the supply chain of the military supplies everything from pencils to planes. There are 3,000 businesses from Victoria to Gander that currently have access to DND. The privatization of that supply chain will kick them out of the business. As well, 1,600 full time public service jobs will be gone if it is privatized.
My question for the government is very simple. I know it cannot handle easy questions, so I will say it very slowly. Is it or is it not privatizing the supply chain of Canada's military?
National Defence
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Edmonton Centre
Laurie Hawn Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of National Defence
Mr. Speaker, let me say this very slowly for that member and his party. This government supports the Canadian Forces. We will supply the Canadian Forces with the equipment they need. It will be done in the interests of the Canadian Forces. It will be done in the interests of Canadian industry.
The Prime Minister and the Minister of National Defence recently announced the Canada first defence strategy. That will give the defence department and the Canadian Forces the tools they need for the next 20 years and beyond to do the jobs that the member and his party would rather they not do in the first place.

Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Geoff Regan Halifax West, NS
Mr. Speaker, during question period, the hon. Minister of Fisheries and Oceans fabricated the notion that the previous government was going to close the Coast Guard college in Sydney.
This is a blatant falsehood, and I would like to invite him to correct the record and apologize.

St. John's South—Mount Pearl

Loyola Hearn Minister of Fisheries and Oceans
Mr. Speaker, let me remind the member that there is no graduation at the college this year simply because there was no registration three years ago. The college had been downgraded so much, plans were made to shut it down, and he well knows it.

It sounds like a dispute as to facts to me rather than a point of order. I will consider the matter, one that is available for debate on another occasion.

South Surrey—White Rock—Cloverdale
Russ Hiebert Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs and Minister of Western Economic Diversification
Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 34 I have the honour to present to the House, in both official languages, a report from the Canadian branch of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association on its recent bilateral parliamentary visit to Nuku'alofa, Tonga, from January 15 to 22.

Committees of the House
Routine Proceedings
3:05 p.m.
Paul Szabo Mississauga South, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the seventh report of the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics.
The report recommends to the House an amendment to the conflict of interest code for members of the House of Commons. More specifically, with regard to the code for members of Parliament, it would have the effect that if a member were named a defendant in a lawsuit regarding matters before Parliament or a committee of Parliament, that this would not constitute furthering the private interests of the member or the interests of another person.
This is a very serious matter and we certainly look forward to having it dealt with by the House.
Criminal Code
Routine Proceedings
3:10 p.m.
Brent St. Denis Algoma—Manitoulin—Kapuskasing, ON
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-543, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (abuse of pregnant woman).
Mr. Speaker, the reason I am tabling the bill is many of us felt that Bill C-484, while it did attempt to accomplish certain things in protecting pregnant women from assault or abuse, left too many unanswered questions and too many doors were left open.
For those of us who are pro-choice, but did not want to go down that road, I have created a simple bill, which would provide judges with the ability to increase the penalties for those who would knowingly assault or abuse a pregnant woman.
I have had this tested to see whether it would open the door to recriminalization of abortion, and it will not. I have had it tested to see whether it would have any censure against the women herself, should she choose to have an abortion, and that will not be the case. In fact, it plugs all the holes left by Bill C-484.
I invite members, who felt as awkward as I did in not supporting Bill C-484, to look at this as a very helpful option to assist pregnant women, should they be attacked by those who are knowingly aware they are pregnant.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Excise Tax Act
Routine Proceedings
3:10 p.m.
Caroline St-Hilaire Longueuil—Pierre-Boucher, QC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-544, An Act to amend the Excise Tax Act (children's diapers and products for newborns).
Mr. Speaker, today I am pleased to be tabling in this House a bill to amend the Excise Tax Act in order to exempt children's diapers from the goods and services tax and so follow the lead of the Quebec government, which has not charged sales tax on these products for several years now.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Textile Labelling Act
Routine Proceedings
3:10 p.m.
Marlene Jennings Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine, QC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-545, An Act to amend the Textile Labelling Act.
Mr. Speaker, Canadians are increasingly demanding that our investments and consumption, both at home and abroad, be a constant testament to our principles and values of transparency and accountability. It is time that our government responds to this call.
My bill would require labels on clothing to include a reference number that consumers could use to identify the name and address of a factory where an item of clothing was produced. This measure has been highly recommended by a number of advocacy groups, including the Ethical Trading Action Group and Amnesty International.
If this bill is passed, Canadians will have access to even more information when making their purchases. For those of us who believe that under no circumstances should we benefit from the exploitation of workers in poor countries, knowing exactly where a piece of clothing was produced will allow us to vote with our feet: to refuse to buy clothing made in factories where conditions are unacceptable.
According to Amnesty International and the Ethical Trading Action Group, if the public knows exactly where products are being manufactured, businesses will have to self-regulate for fear that civil society will use this new tool to publicize the names of the companies responsible for unfair employment practices.
I hope this House will indeed support my private member's bill.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)

About the Author: Charles A. Ray serves as U.S. Ambassador to Zimbabwe.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. has long been a role model for me in leadership, compassion and integrity. As a child, growing up in segregated east Texas, I keenly followed his leadership of the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955. In 1962, when I joined an army that had only been integrated 13 years prior, thanks to President Harry Truman, I continued to follow Dr. King's rise to prominence in the civil rights movement, celebrating his Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 and weeping over his untimely death in 1968.
Like many who admire him, I applauded the establishment of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day as a national holiday in 1986. I always try to make this a special day, not of remembrance and sadness but for celebration of the principles for which this great man lived and died. King's greatness as a leader and role model came from the fact that he lived, as well as preached, these principles at every opportunity. Dr. King believed that all people, especially including religious leaders, could and should make a positive difference in their nations and communities. This is the lasting lesson of his life and this holiday observance. It's not just for African-Americans, for it was not just for people of color that Dr. King worked so hard. It was his belief that the entire population of the United States, and in fact, people all over the world, would benefit from the application of these universal principles.
I believe sincerely that King's views are just as appropriate today, and here in Zimbabwe, as they were when he stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in 1963 and made his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. Today, I spoke to a group of Zimbabwean religious leaders at Arrupe College seminary in Harare, and that was the core of my message. To them I said that, like King, religious leaders here have taken a principled stand on political and human rights issues, and I applaud them for that. Their churches in many ways mirror the black churches of the South during the days of the civil rights struggle, and I encouraged them to never let their voices fall silent. Jeff Cooke, a member of my staff, also discussed his memories and thoughts on the "I Have a Dream" speech at our regular "Tuesday Food for Thought" open public lecture at our Public Affairs Section Auditorium in a downtown shopping mall.
Dr. King didn't change America's racial situation overnight. We had many years to travel and grow as a nation between the start of the civil and voting rights movements and the election of our first African-American president. Similarly, no single speech or movement will suddenly change the political landscape in Zimbabwe. But like many here, Dr. King had a vision. "I've been to the mountaintop, and I've seen the Promised Land," were words in a sermon he preached shortly before he died. Like, Martin Luther King, I too have a dream. I have a dream that the peoples of Africa -- in fact, the peoples of all the developing world -- will someday enjoy the fruits of democracy and open government. That someday, they will no longer have to live in fear under the yoke of selfish dictators, or watch their children die in infancy of preventable diseases. And, like King, I commit myself to doing as much as I can, as a diplomat, as a believer in democracy and civil rights, and as my President's chief representative in Zimbabwe, to pursue that dream, whether or not it becomes reality in my lifetime.

Skip to comments.LIVE THREAD: Congress Begins Investigation into IRS Targeting
Posted on 05/17/2013 6:02:03 AM PDT by don-o
The House Ways and Means Committee holds the first Congressional hearing on the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) subjecting applicants for tax-exempt status to higher levels of scrutiny based on political leanings.
Witnesses include Acting IRS Commissioner Steve Miller who resigned on Wednesday and the Treasury Departments Inspector General Russell George for Tax Administration.
Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI) said the IRS' targeting of "American taxpayers based on politics is both astounding and appalling." He stated that the Committee will "get to the bottom of this practice and ensure it never takes place again.
In announcing the hearing, Ranking Member Sander Levin (D-MI) said that it is "essential that there be a thorough and bipartisan investigation and effective remedial action.
Since June 2011, the Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating whether the Internal Revenue Service discriminated against taxpayers based on political opinions.
Jim McDermott (D, WA)
JM: I'm reminded.... it's also about Republican storyline in this agenda. We need to find some truth here. And I've heard members of this committee talk about it.
The IRS can't access your medical file. Is that true Mr. Miller?
Steve Miller: Correct
JM: They cannot find out your medical information?
SM: That's correct sir.
JM: Their (IRS) job in Obamacare is simply to collect paid financial information on which a determination is made as to whether somebody can get a subsidy for their premiums. Is that correct?
SM: Were you covered and over what period is what we would be getting.
JM: It is not a fascist takeover that's going on here of the healthcare system.
And let's not forget that the IRS has one of the hardest and most hated jobs and their are thousands and thousands of good, solid, hardworking Americans who work every day to run the system.
And a couple of people make a problem. That does not damage the organization in my view. You get rid of the people who made the problem.
I heard yesterday that under ObamaCare, the IRS is tasked with 47 discrete responsibilities! This requires an additional 16,000 IRS employees (and as we know even that number will be "revised.")
We can always depend on the radical leftists to tell the truth in what they deny
JM: "It is not a fascist takeover that's going on here of the healthcare system."
Note to self on McDermott: Posts 245, 250
I was spitting nails, called my Congressional Reps office and had a "conversation" with a staffer. She said, today was only the beginning, Jack Lew will be brought in next week, "I encourage you to watch."
No, they're going in exactly the right order. Notice that the tough questions are being asked after there are no more Dems in the order. The Dems don't have any more opportunities to rebut or lead Miller/George into giving the "right" answers.
Here are some more to consider:
Cannot comment, under investigation
Poor customer service
Bush's fault
We need mo money
Needs something about not having enough money to prevent abuse.
Read it in the paper / saw it on tv
If only they felt that was about fighting terrorists instead of getting in bed with them!
we need a bigger budget!
Mike Kelly exchange:
Glutton for punishment I am - listening to Dear Leader in the dredging plant in Bawner

Audience laughed. They LAUGHED at the mention of prayer!!!
Wow..okay, need the YouTube on that one, too!!
Whoa: Did IRS ask pro-life group to disclose the content of their prayers?
Are you going to post that as a separate thread?
Does Miller look like the guy who killed Richard Kimball's (Harrison Ford) wife (Sela Ward) in the "Fugitive"? You know.....the one-armed guy?
embarassingly, I don't know how to post a separate thread.

"Jack Lew will be brought in next week, 'I encourage you to watch.'"
This is great news. The IRS abuse of power story will get another exciting chapter. Was not Jack Lew the White House chief of staff before he took over Treasury from Geithner?
I got it. Thanks for finding it. FReepmail me if you want a tutorial.
Demorats think that we who believe in limited government are the enemy as democrat Obama's IRS and Obama oppressed us conservatives in the 2012 election to rig the election.
when will you all realize that we are in a war? the democrats have been waging war against us,conservatives,middle America for a long time now and we don't even know who the enemy is.
hanks for posting the Mike Kelly thread. Ignorance is bliss. Hah!
Hugh Hewitt @hughhewitt
Miller says it isn't illegal for IRS to create lists to target Americans. Wow. Just wow. Well done @RepTomPrice
More Mike Kelly:
I remember that. During the run up to the Iraq war they flew to Bagdad to assure the American people what a good guy Saddam was and what a meanie George Bush was. Thompson was my Congress critter. A real POS!
APRIL 2004 : (MCDERMOTT IS EMBARASSED INTO RETURNING $5,000 CONTRIBUTION TO HIS LEGAL DEFENSE FUND BY SHAKIR AL KHAFAJI -—see SADDAM HUSSEIN, BAATISTS, BAGHDAD TRIO)
NOTE that his legal defense fund existed because he was the recipient of illegally taped recordings of a confidential call between Newt Gingrich and Boehner:
"In a 2-1 opinion, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia upheld a lower court ruling that McDermott violated the rights of House Majority Leader John Boehner, who was heard on the 1996 call involving former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
The lower court had ordered McDermott to pay Boehner more than $700,000 for leaking the taped conversation. The figure includes $60,000 in damages and at least $600,000 in legal costs."
Kelly burns it DOWN!!
Thanks for posting!
Did you folks know that the surname Miller originally came from Baveria, Germany??? This guy Miller does both Obama (Satan) & Hitler proud!!! He is sure living up to his Nazi namesake. He belongs in prison!!!
Elliot Gould, IMHO.
"Whoa: Did IRS ask pro-life group to disclose the content of their prayers?"
transcript in post 730
Nothing suprises me anymore with this bunch. (sadly) Has ceased to be a Govt. by the People and instead a Govt. by the "sheeple" for the "sheeple".
"ad hominem" is kid stuff, come on. There's probably a dozen freepers named Miller.
??? Miller is English and Scottish/Irish. Like grain mill.
'Contents of that prayer please'. (love, the IRS)
Soon that's going to tip over, just like Guam.
You would have to ask Eli's mama. Later in the speech when DL was droning on about how folks needed to live their lives, someone from the audience shouted out "Prayer". Ma have been Mama again.
distraction- bring 1 1/2 year-old "fetus" to hearing. (yes, i am being sarcastic about the term that the anti-life uses and poking at Watt for bringing a young child to a HEARING)
that was awesome
lol, someone "dredging" up prayer.
Make it a buzzard, not an eagle.
Make it thorns and not an olive branch.
The scales are not balanced and one of them needs to be a $ and the other weigh a skull... as in SS skull. The $ weighs more.
There is no blind justice in Amerika anymore. Blind rage should follow.
I missed it when it happened (had to go shopping) but I just saw Kelly on a Fox news clip and I am in awe of him. He was forceful and angry as heck. I love the man!! My hands hurt from clapping.
Miller made a snarky face and Kelly caught it and hammered him harder. God Bless Kelly.
Yeah but practice with him first so when he sees Miller or the IG, he screams "grampa, that's the monster under my bed!", then he runs and hides under the desk where Mike Kelly is sitting, ha!
I answered the question asked.
If they don't know, here's some 'visual aids':
"My hair stood on end!
(...even though I have rollers in at the moment)."
How many different stations can you pick up with your rollers?
Bravo!. Thanks for posting!

Le Monde, December 3, 2009: …nothing can prevent us from taking up our task once again, this time more widely, no doubt, than before: to re-elaborate a perspective that is capable of removing from us the state of collective impotence that strikes us all. Not exactly a political perspective; not a program; but [an analysis of] the technical and material possibilities of a practical route towards other connections with the world and other social connections, and this by being ready for the existing constraints, the actual organization of this society, its subjectivities as well as its infrastructures.
Because it is only through a keen knowledge of the obstacles to the upheaval that we will manage to clear the horizon. This will be a long-term task, and it doesn't make any sense for us to pursue it alone. This is an invitation.
