The Talk Shows
March 31st, 2013
Guests to be interviewed today on major television talk shows:
FOX NEWS SUNDAY (Fox Network): Mark Kelly, Americans for Responsible Solutions and husband of former Rep. Gabby Giffords; Cardinal Donald Wuerl, archbishop of Washington, D.C.
MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Sens. Chuck U. Schumer, D-N.Y., and Jeff Flake, R-Ariz.
FACE THE NATION (CBS): Cardinal Timothy Dolan, archbishop of New York.
THIS WEEK (ABC): Dolan; Newark, N.J., Mayor Cory Booker; Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y.
STATE OF THE UNION (CNN): Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn.
Even at that...Why should we have any tolerance for the;
Disease-ridden, Boy-raping, Whack-jobs?
The left is busy chipping away at the mortar of society, and with many on the right now helping out, don't be surprised when all the bricks fall.
I'm not certain how others feel, but I have been still stinging over the election results of last November and have been feeling less optimistic (daily) regarding the future of this Country.
We're in a period of the Socialist Left imposing their values on us. Since we have little representation from a so called opposition party, we are in a position of having to live with the agenda they continue to implement. That doesn't mean we have to like it.
My thinking, or rather, the belief I continue to cling to is that a plurality of the population feels the same way. I don't think those of Conservative ideology are fewer, just that we're feeling helpless.
I know we're going to need an actual leader to emerge in the coming months if we're going to end the feeling of helplessness and alter this destructive period. I also know that we have a tough opponent in an establishment that will likely promote a choice of Jeb Bush or Hillary Clinton on us.
Today being Easter, I'm reminded to not lose my Faith.
HOMO rights advances communism in several ways. Homo rights help to destroy religion,destroy traditional marriage,advance the idea of male with male/female with female sex and in general destroys our way of life incrementally. In short its a win win win for the left/commies.
Made this skillet of potatoes to serve with Easter Ham. Will post recipe shortly...got some more ranting to do.
"If Im correct about this, Roberts is taking his marching orders from Comrade Rove, who has clearly signaled that even the Menshevik party wants full government control over marriage."
My guess is that Roberts is bought and paid for by the hard left commies that run the regime.
He bought his kids from cork county in Ireland, got caught smuggling them into the US from Central America and the left has been blackmailing him ever since.
His decision declaring obamcare a tax hardly a coincidence.
He's compromised and will probably stay bought and paid for.
The problem is you cant piss off the old lady too much. You gotta have someone to cut their hair or design new dresses....
we have those leaders today! They are Dr. Ben Carson, Sarah Palin and Marco Rubio. Between the three of them and many others we will vanquish the communist menace that rules the roost.
Our best hope however is that the hard left does what they usually do after a period of successes.Self destruct. If they don't it will be a first.
The Dems in the OR legislature have four bills that will have a committee hearing this coming Friday. They've been holding them up until they can get Mark Kelly in to testify. We've been in touch with the people at our gun range (instructors, FFL dealers) & they will be ready to testify to the TRUTH. Mark Kelly will not be allowed to get away with assinine statements like this. I'm hoping we can block these bills, but the Dems have control here.
I just woke up and missed most of the Sunday morning talkies. From the line up, I see I didn't miss much.
These programs are propaganda, fillers. They garner about the same number of viewers week after week. They do, however, help set the 'political tone' for the week.
I chuckle when Rush plays a composite of various news readers using identical phrases in a report. They don't even attempt to camouflage their propaganda. I used to watch the network evening news years ago and found many times they has basically the same 'news' stories and many of those stories were reported almost word-for-word.
That is the beauty of the Internet — we can find unfiltered news, but we have to look for it. Too many don't have the time in their daily routines to look for it, however.
Another thing I noticed with the network news (cable news does it also) was that, on a slow news day, the 'news' was the results of a new poll. Anyone with 2 working brain cells knows that any poll can be written in such a way as to elicit the desired results. The news programs, however, do proclaim those results as 'news'.
A cast iron woman...I like em too, got a full set.
However, I just got my first ceramic saute-skillet. Just as a test, I got it hot, (no oil) broke an egg in it, and let it fry.
With a quick motion I flipped the egg (no spatula) Of course the yolk broke at that point.
As I swirled the egg around the skillet it picked up any trails of the broken yolk. Nothing stuck to the skillet.
I buttered some bread and toasted it in the skillet. It was the perfect egg sandwich, which I consumed on the way to work.
0bama still uses that same BS twenty year old poll of 251 people and never disclose inheritance. 251 really? Got sample size much envy much?
Well thank you very much Granny.
I'm on a roll this morning but I am overwhelmed.
Let's talk Peggy Noonan...what the hey?
This woman chastises the congress for not passing gun control sooner...sheesh.
What right do those political elite have to decide to pass legislation that we don't want?
The only way it will ever end is for us to throw those people outta there.
That's gonna take years.
All this with NO help from the entrenched political elite Republicans.
I think McCain jumped the shark with his stupid "whacko bird" comment.
Slowly but surely they are going to fall away.
It will work easily in Montana. The small population will multiply these tactics and you will get more conservative people through the primaries.
Well, they could use reformed fags. They otherwise would still have the same skill-set.
Sheesh, they have so many talking points about guns....
ASSAULT WEAPONS....they fooled us for many years with that one. And still they bring it out and dust it off that we may fall for it again.
BACKGROUND CHECKS....another silly phrase meaning mostly nothing.
It goes on and on and still they try it again.
Al Shapton the expert on gun control?
The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you."
Those people who aren't fine if they "go off their meds" should never be allowed to be out running around loose among normal people.
Got to have at least one old fashioned cast iron skillet. But like you, hey....non-stick skillets are great.
Above the recipe for my pic...It's called garlic potato gratin.
If gay "marriage" becomes the law of the land...it's open season on religion as a whole.
Expect the Libs to start saying that 2,000 years of Christian history and teaching is nothing more than a lie and a hate crime.
And that puts us one step closer to becoming Sodom and Gomorrah.
And may I add? Softly?
Muslims believe in multiple marriages. Give it time. Soon they will be demanding that THEIR religious beliefs get credence via society too.
Oh yeah, not just Muslims but trust, this is next.
Finally, I don't know why I cannot marry my dog.
It IS all about love, right? And don't tell me my dog has no choice. SHE'D AGREE READILY TO MARRY ME!
I'd even give her a big dog biscuit as a wedding present.
She'd be cool with that.
No problem that she's also female. Time come for me to marry her, same-sex marriage will be readily accepted.
non-stick skillets are great.
Oh I've had plenty of teflon and "iron stone" skillets, but now, my old long-time favorite saute-skillet is outta here. Ceramic rules!
"Oh yeah, not just Muslims but trust, this is next."
Nope the ex-communicated Mormons will petition for acceptance of polygamy...and shortly after that the Pedo's will demand acceptance of their desire to marry 5 year old boys.
Once this line is crossed...marriage...as we've known it since Genesis will cease to exist.
Your welcome.
Peggy lost her brain cells along time ago and the poor dear thinks we still pay attention to her. LOL I did enjoy her book about Hillary but that was many years ago.
Living in the great state of Arizona, I am embarrassed by McCain. He knew he had boo booed big time and tried to walk the "wacko-bird" back. I loved Cruz coming out mocking him. We all are PROUD wacko-birds.
And why can't I marry my son? That way he won't have to pay inheritance tax. Why not, I love my son.... I see that it is all about the destruction of Christianity and money.
Since this is the Easter thread and I have zero interest in watching political "opinion", I will share my most memorable Easter Vigil happening.
Visiting San Francisco a few years ago, the Saturday evening service fit our schedule better, so we went to the Catholic Church near the Berkeley Campus, Newman Hall, (near where my son worked.) We did not know that it was a Very Popular event, and we were too late to get seats. It lasted three hours and included all seven readings and sung responsorials, with choir and orchestra, 6 immersion baptisms, and Dancers down the aisles representing the angels and the women who met at the tomb.
The whole happening is seared in my memory!
Come on, now!
We're at 80... You've got a lot more posting to do!
They know what works to promote their agenda and they wrap it in their religion as if it were gospel. It is a mix between propaganda and religion so people will follow their tenants to be "good" people. In reality it makes them wicked people if you listen to their intolerance of opposing ideas or religions.
He has Risen
And that is the exact moral reason the lifer politicians would use to argue against your proposal. What's the point of passing bad or stupid laws if the government can't collect more taxes?
I'm interested.
I should buy ceramic?
Give me suggestions.
For although I cook every Sunday, all my meals for the week yes I do, while minding this thread and watching the shows....I am thinking of nominating my self for Food Network's World's Worst Cook.
Like today, the recipe as posted requires actual garlic.
Sure I have garlic on hand, a little round thing filled with oil-soaked pieces of garlic.
But the recipe above called for a real garlic clove so I bought one, so brave was I.
As I attempted to get at four "cloves" or whatever they call them, well dag, I COULD NOT GET THE GARLIC OPEN!
It was hard, papery that kept falling all around like crepe rain....there was no discernible way to open the thing.
THIS is the sort of thing I would like to learn.
Oh I eventually got the garlic parts out but it required kitchen scissors and a whack of a hammer. I just never see any of the Food Network stars hit the garlic with a hammer and they use garlic in everything, even dessert.
Or something.
LOL never thought about reformed fags, LOL!!
Buy a bottle of chopped garlic. You can put it in everything and is easy to use. I love garlic and use it in everything.
He has Risen
it is more correct to say that the only thing they really care about is scoring boys than it is incorrect.
and the "questioning" of a child's sexual "preference" will begin in kindergarten - when boys, by nature, are supposed to be friends with other boys and girls play with girls.
Just as the developmental stages for crawling, walking, speaking, etc, all have parameters, so does same sex bonding come before sexual attraction of the opposite sex.
This fact of nature has been terribly attacked and compromised by our current culture, which claims to protect children from so many perceived threats, while leaving them totally exposed to compromising their entire emotional future.
Gosh I hope he's alright.
It would be terrible....Terrible!...if something were to happen to such a nice man.
"But the plan is incrementalism."
The death of America by a 1,000 cuts.
Hang in there AB....
....so okay....how about my church wants me to be a nun?
In the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.
Read with patience....understand that at times things just :::happen::: to me.
So a fellow parishioner says he wants the church, in our exalted Parish Life Center, to sponsor a fundraising talent show.
So I make some kind of offhand comment that I would LOVE to do a comedy skit about Catholicism.
Offhand. Like we all do sometime.
A month later I get an email....something about picturing a surprise visit to the PLC by a nun, fully habited, a shocker to the attendees....a prelude to YOUR comedy routine.
I paraphrase but get it? Already I am signed up for a skit and now I must enter dressed as a nun.
I tell my choir mate..."I AM NOT doing this," I am adamant. Heck my first idea of the Catholic comedy sketch was...well it was offhand.
Though I could really come up with some funny stuff...like..."CONSUBSTANTIAL".
Who came up with that?
A bunch of men with point hats threw their word into the ring? What?
that word, for the non-Catholic, is in an updated version of the Creed of whatever it's called. Don't know the word they used to use but....consubstantial?
Anyway, last week I go to choir. At my desk is a brown envelope with the word "pat" on the front.
Inside is a printout of a web costume site. The printout was of nun costumes...some of them, you should smile, R-rated.
The handwritten note said that the church would RENT the nun costume for me....just pick the one I want.
Also was a printout with a whole bunch of Catholic jokes.
I am not making this up.
Like I told my choir mate...I am NOT doing this.
Furthermore, Ms. Granny by the Lake....I asked husband...you know, just for a second opinion....
"Wouldn't Jo-Ann (dog's name) be happy to marry me if I asked her?"
Husband assured me she would.
Consider your own dog....they'd marry you if you asked them...right?
Oh my goodness...what a wonderful description!
Yeah we had a couple of baptisms but they were nice.
Easter Vigil is always joyous. We process in with lit candles....lots of tradition.
The congregation even clapped for the choir when it was over.
That was nice.
Oh yes, you are on to something here. Especially, since our dogs seem to be female, we would have a two-fer, gay and beastiality marriage. And I could still include my son, right? Feel the love!!!!
Okay, you are guilty of making me hungry.
it's the potatoes ....
Expect the Libs to start saying that 2,000 years of Christian history and teaching is nothing more than a lie
The first time I heard this exact line was 1965, from a classmate of mine. He was an otherwise highly intelligent guy who had nonetheless already spent time in the nuthouse, just then recently released.
According to his contention, Christianity could only get off the hook for all its lying and hypocrisy if it openly and publicly forgave Hitler for the Holocaust.
Back then, this guy was not a hippie or a liberal. In fact, he hated both. Loved classical music, proper attire and Wordsworth. I think he was privately anti-semitic and maybe secretly believed the Jews had it coming.
Not sure about that, though.
In any case, it occurs to me now that he was a forerunner of modern American liberalism, the demented strain passed off as "correct" and "logical" by the loons on MSLSD, at the NY Times, et.al.
Any minute now I'll be the one in the nuthouse because we've really come a long (baby) since 1965. A long way into the abyss, that is.
And may I add? Softly?
Muslims believe in multiple marriages. Give it time. Soon they will be demanding that THEIR religious beliefs get credence via society too.
Oh yeah, not just Muslims but trust, this is next.
Finally, I dont know why I cannot marry my dog.
It's about 10 bucks!
Never mind buying one on TV, just run down to Walmart and get one. The TV ad that got my attention was called "Or-green-ic" or something, and has a green ceramic inner surface. Everything they showed in the commercial was true. They had them at Walmart, but they were all gone.
The one I got has a metallic red paint on the handle and exterior, and a white ceramic interior surface. If this one warps or has some other structural frailty, I'll get a better one, but I'm sold on the non-stick characteristics of the ceramic lining. Just don't burn or scratch it.
The main thing about teflon is; it's a plastic, and a little bit of it comes off every time you use it. That's part of the reason nothing sticks to it. Where does that teflon then go?
Nevertheless, the cast iron skillet collection will remain in my kitchen arsenal. They are cheap, indestructible and solely-suitable for certain applications such as blackening, oven recipies, and making roux.
But Pat, if you want to saute some onions and mushrooms in butter, flip some pancakes, make an omlet, something quick...get the ceramic skillet.

Fall 2001
Volume 6 Number 1
by Leslie Dobbs-Allsopp
With a spirited volleyball match on the quad, a line of people spilling out of the Mackay Campus Center in anticipation of lunch, and hockey sticks sprouting in odd places—it must be time again for the Princeton Forums on Youth Ministry. Each year the Institute for Youth Ministry sponsors two forums, one of which is always held on campus after classes end in April.
Responding to the way "cell phones, email, MTV, the web, Palm pilots, and pagers fill our lives and the lives of young people," this year's theme was "Proclaiming the Gospel in a Wired World." The first forum was held in San Antonio, Texas, in January. The forum in Princeton brought together 280 people, including 29 students from the PTS class "Advanced Studies in Youth, Society, and Culture."
One of those students was Jeffrey Mathis, a 2001 PTS graduate who is now associate pastor at Pantano Baptist Church in Tucson, Arizona. For him, the forum was a great transition to his new call. "Thanks to my participation in the Princeton Youth Forum, I feel so much more confident about beginning a ministry to youth in Arizona," he says. "I cannot think of a better 'charge' for a youth minister than to have the opportunity to learn from those who have had such rich experiences in their ministry to youth."
The four-day forum began with worship on Monday afternoon, April 30, when Miller Chapel (filled to overflow capacity) swelled with the strains of the opening hymn, "From All That Dwell below the Skies." It concluded with a communion service on Thursday evening. Amy Scott Vaughn, director of leadership development for the Institute for Youth Ministry, says that over the past five years "worship has taken on a more central role in the conference. The daily worship services anchor the event." Martin Tel, PTS director of music, planned (and played organ for) the worship services.
Theological depth is also a hallmark of the forums. Thomas K. Tewell, M.Div. Class of 1973, pastor of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York City, and PTS trustee, preached at the daily worship services. "Many of these youth leaders and educators indicated to me that they attend countless conferences on youth ministry, but that by far this...is the most theologically and biblically grounded," he says. "[The conference] tries to shape the theological thinking of those who are shaping the minds and hearts of the youth of our congregations."
"Church leaders are starving for theological substance for their ministries with young people," says Kenda Creasy Dean, PTS assistant professor of youth, church, and culture. The forum challenges people to think about why they do ministry the way they do.
When the forums began in 1996, most attendees were professional church staff. These professionals have kept coming back—and have started bringing congregation members with them. Denominational youth ministry staff and professors from other institutions also attend. "You could say that the forums draw practitioners as well as people who are 'influencers of influencers' in youth ministry—both as leaders and participants," says Dean. "As a result, these events have had far more impact on the way churches approach youth ministry than we originally realized."
Seminars and electives are taught by youth ministry practitioners and lecturers as well as by faculty not directly involved with youth. "This allows participants to hear from...biblical scholars, theologians, and church historians," says Vaughn. "It is very encouraging for participants to hear scholars affirm that what they're doing in youth ministry is of great importance for the church."
Tom Beaudoin and Marva Dawn were the keynote speakers for this forum, and each addressed the realities of the postmodern, wired world for those who proclaim the gospel to young people. Beaudoin, author of Virtual Faith: The Irreverent Spiritual Quest of Generation X, examined the globalization of capitalism and its effects on church and ministry. For example, what does it mean for ministry that young people are "branded" by logos from their hats to their shoes to their music? Dawn, adjunct professor of spiritual theology at Regent College in Vancouver, British Columbia, and author of Reaching Out without Dumbing Down, explored ways the wired world can be both bane and blessing to proclamation of the Word.
Forum participants chose one extended seminar to attend over the course of three days, as well as two electives. Titles of the extended seminars reveal how complex is ministry with youth in the twenty-first century: "From the Areopagus to Aerospace," "Do You Think I'm Too Fat? Body Hatred As a Spiritual Crisis and Social Disease," "Righting the Wrong: Justice-Seeking As a Way of Life for Youth," "The Bible and Youth: Wrestling with Three Tough Questions," and "Why Columbine Won't Go Away: Spiritual Drought in Today's Youth." Elective courses ran the gamut from nurturing spirituality and community in young people to finding God at the movies and the mall.
The forum offerings reflect the evolution taking place in youth ministry. The "next new thing" in youth ministry is theology, according to Dean. It used to be that theology was "almost unheard of" in youth ministry circles, ironically enough. Relatedly, youth ministry is moving away from programmatic emphases "toward radically relational forms of ministry that are often more integrated into the congregation as a whole," Dean explains. "Of course church programs have a place, but they are a means to an end—namely, a vital relationship with Jesus Christ—not the end itself." This relational understanding of ministry is leading to changes in worship and community life, for young people and youth ministers alike.
When almost three hundred youth ministry workers are gathered in one place, it will, of course, not be all work and no play. With perfect weather, volleyballs and frisbees were often flying through the air. A group of Canadians from the United and Presbyterian Churches in Canada have become regulars by attending all the forums held in Princeton during the last five years. They bring their friends, their hockey sticks, their humor, and their commitment to youth ministry. Kay Vogen, longtime administrator in the School of Christian Education, was declared an honorary Canadian—and was presented with an autographed hockey stick—at this most recent forum, her last before her July retirement.
At least one member of the Canadian youth ministry community has matriculated at the Seminary, with more to follow. Blair Bertrand is an M.Div./M.A. student from Ontario who just finished his first year at Princeton. He worked in youth ministry for a local church for six years before coming to Princeton as a student; he attended his first forum in 1997 and has since attended five forums and earned a Certificate in Youth and Theology from the Institute for Youth Ministry. Over the years of attending forums and becoming a conversation partner with Dean and others, Bertrand came to understand his call differently. He began his ministry with a parachurch model, but "became convinced that Word and Sacrament are important aspects of youth ministry." Yet few youth ministry professionals in Canada are ordained. When Bertrand became convinced it was time for a theological education, Princeton Seminary was the obvious choice, a place where he could engage in intensive theological inquiry that matched his passion for youth ministry.
"There is a lot of subtle pressure for youth pastors to provide nothing more than entertainment and a safe haven for the young people in their communities," says Vaughn. "I think the forums serve as a reminder that youth ministry is more about people than programs. They reinforce what we know to be true—that what teenagers really want is not free pizza and egg-and-armpit relays, but the life-changing love of Jesus Christ."

Draft boards around the NBA got shaken up following the latest injury to Joel Embiid, who no longer has a firm grip on that No. 1 spot.
Now, the big question revolves around just how far he'll slide.
We anticipate a number of trades to go down, either before draft night or right in the middle of it.
Expect to hear plenty of rumors over the final few days, with most of them likely being manufactured or leaked by clubs looking to blow some smoke.
Team needs, along with each prospect's NBA potential, were taken into account when deciding how we project the draft to play out.
Here are our final two-round predictions for the 2014 NBA draft.

Stuffed 'n Squashed Mushroom Foil Pack
- 2 wedges light spreadable Swiss cheese (recommended: The Laughing Cow Light), room temperature
- 1 zucchini, ends removed, finely diced
- 2 large portabella mushrooms, stems chopped and reserved
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped onion
- 1/2 teaspoon chopped garlic
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Dash ground thyme
- Black pepper
- 1/2 tablespoon reduced-fat Parmesan-style grated topping
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a bowl, combine cheese wedges, zucchini, chopped mushroom stems, onion, garlic, salt, and thyme. Add pepper, to taste. Mix until smooth. Set aside.
Lay a large piece of heavy-duty foil on a baking sheet. Lightly spray both sides of the mushroom caps with olive oil nonstick spray, and place next to each other on the foil with the rounded sides down. Spoon veggie-cheese mixture into the mushroom caps-there will be a lot, so pack it in!
Sprinkle with grated topping.
Place another large piece of foil over the caps. Fold together and seal all four edges of the two foil pieces, forming a well-sealed packet.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 23 to 25 minutes, until mushrooms are tender.
Allow the packet to cool for a few minutes, and then cut it to release steam before opening it entirely. (Careful-steam will be hot.)
If you like, season with additional salt and thyme, to taste. Enjoy!

Spanish Open News and Notes
Finishing Strong
Team USA closed out the weekend at the 2013 Spanish Open in Alicante, Spain, with hardware in the junior and cadet divisions on Sunday.
Valorie Loureda won a bronze medal in the female junior -68kg division after defeating Soumaya Belkhir Santiago of Spain, 15-2, and losing to Lorena Brandl of Germany, 9-1, in the semifinals.
Isabella Hrunka earned bronze in the 12-14 female cadet -44kg division. Hrunka knocked off Spain's Cinthia Vizcaino Soler, 10-4, followed by a win against Jeavonne Satter of the Netherlands, 3-1. She lost in the semifinal to Marta Oliver Hernandez of Spain, 10-1.
Congratulations to these two young athletes for representing the U.S. and brining the weekend medal count to six!
They Said It
USA Taekwondo caught up with three of the senior medalists in Madrid to get their thoughts on a successful Spanish Open. Here is what they had to say:
"I believe that my mental state was in full focus. There were a lot of obstacles—smaller rings, shorter time in our matches, the holding areas were different—so I just tried to rise to the occasion, remain focused and take this as another tournament to get ready for World Championships." Gold medalist Paige McPherson, women's welter
"I kept calm throughout my fights, even if I was down. I think just keeping my cool helped me a lot and I was a lot more focused. I wasn't paranoid or freaking out, so that helped out a lot." Silver medalist Giuliana Gil, women's fin
"It's going to build up the momentum and give us the confidence we need to see what's working (for Worlds). You always want to have momentum going into the big tournaments, and this is a great way to start that." Bronze medalist Jason Neville, men's middle
On Exchange
Following a successful Saturday at the 2013 Spanish Open that saw a third of the senior U.S. competitors reach the medal stand, the Senior National Team is spending this week in Madrid at a seven-day Exchange Camp with the Spanish National Team. All athletes in the U.S. delegation but Spanish Open bronze medalist Logan Gerick are partaking in the camp.

Rated 3.7 out of 5 by 19 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by legaleagle Recommend for travel Purchased this blazer for 15 day cruise through Europe in May 2014. Usually wear classic blue blazer but thought I would try the Travelsmith blazer because of all the pockets. The print lining is a bit "garish" and I would prefer a solid navy blue. However, the lining is acceptable and won't really show most of the time anyway. I plan to change the buttons to classic brass buttons. Otherwise recommend the product. December 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JanB Excellent purchase The fit was perfect. So often that is not the case. And the quality was obvious. We also liked the feel of the fabric . It is truly a First-Class Blazer. My husband was very pleased with the product. Thank you, Jan December 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Willon Great value Fits well. Great value. Love the pockets. Looks good January 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by persoanlshopperwife Nicely tailored Hangs well, pockets are discreet and ample. A bargain! July 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by trip2015 it DID fit Bought this blazer for a trip. My husband is 6'4 and usually wears a tall man 44 extra long. We called and got the back length and sleeve measurements; the representative was very nice and very helpful. The size worked, so we ordered it. July 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Immunologist First-Class Blazer I have another travel blazer from Travel Smith (washable) and I love it. It has beat out my previous favorite Orvis, where the interior pockets just don't hold up to the wear and tear. So I decided to order a second Travel Smith blazer and opted for this one. It appears to be very nice, great fit. The weave of the fabric looks great and the interior lining has a travel print that I think is a nice touch, as is the extra security pocket in an unexpected location - very nice. One concern is that it is dry clean only. I love my washable wool varsity blazer with brass buttons.. And while I have only had it dry cleaned, I don't worry when I get caught in an unexpected rainstorm in Guangzhou. August 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Army 46R Blazer Have had this coat for 15 years and decided time to buy a new one. Ordered the same size, but found the new one to be longer both in the sleeves and in length. Have sent it back after consulting with company, and will replace it with 46S. Discussed maybe changing to a 44R, but told the sleeve length and over all length does not change from 46 to 44.(?????) Not sure that makes sense. The difference between 44R and 44S I am told is 1.5 inches, so we will see if the exchange works. If not will again explore the difference between 44R & 46R, since I do really want this coat. January 22, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pierum Outstanding This blazer is an excellent value at an excellent price. December 29, 2015

Wingerd in war documentary
Monday, November 19, 2012
Cover of "North Country: The Making of MInnesota," published in 2010 by University of Minnesota Press.
Mary Wingerd, history professor and author of the award-winning "North Country: The Making of Minnesota," contributed to an upcoming radio episode of "This American Life," which discusses the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862.
The hour-long documentary, which airs on KNOW 91.1 FM 1 p.m. Nov. 24 and 10 p.m. Nov. 25, was produced by Duke University's Center for Documentary Studies.
The U.S.-Dakota War began Aug. 17 in Acton Township, Meeker County and culiminated Dec. 26 with the hanging of 38 Dakota men in Mankato.
Among other things, Wingerd's book discusses nearly two centuries of cooperation, accommodation and peace among the peoples who lived in Minnesota prior to 1862.
She writes in her book that "the majority of the Dakota never lifted their hand against the whites." Yet, the war's ultimate result was the death or exile of nearly every Dakota.
Wingerd's 449-page book, which has twice earned Minnesota Book Award honors, is published by the University of Minnesota Press. Learn more about "North Country."
Wingerd also authored "Claiming the City: Politics, Faith, and the Power of Place in St. Paul," published in 2003 by Cornell University Press.
"This American Life," which is produced in Chicago, has 1.7 million listeners on more than 500 stations.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (98 votes).
In short: expensive and poorly organised in partsIn full: The crowd were welcoming & supportive which provided a great atmosphere & motivation for runners.However..the organisation on the day was poor. The only water station wads understaffed (I didn't get any) and ran of water, the markers were none existent and most shocking of all - the course was incorrectly measured amazing in the Olympic borough! Finally with runners cold it took up to 30 minutes to queue for baggage. And one other thing...there are still no pictures available on the site.I won't be entering next year.Date of review: May 5, 2012
In short: WONDERFUL WEST HAM PARKIn full: I reall ENJOYED this today and had a FABULOUS run in memory of my dear friends Audrey. This is FUN & FRIENDLY & local to me.Thanks everyone xXDate of review: April 29, 2012
In short: Love this race.In full: This was the third time I've done this race, this time it was as a London Marathon warm-up.I always really enjoy the Newham experience and will be back next year. Just a shame we couldn't run up to the Olympic Stadium this year.Date of review: April 23, 2012
In short: Newham Classic 9.6KIn full: My second running of this event, with noticeable improvements over last year in start and finish organisation. Traffic control and marshalling faultless too. This year's route was largely along the traffic free Greenway which I liked. http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/82712561Things to improve for next year: * baggage reclaim was understaffed, * route markers in final km through park could be clearer to help avoid unintentional corner cutting. Finally, although personally not a big deal, we have received a formal apology by email for the race only being 9.6km! I bet they get that right next year: and I look forward to taking part. Date of review: April 17, 2012
In short: Great race, very friendly, I will be back for 2013, thanksDate of review: April 16, 2012
In short: Enjoyable, uplifting, organised, potential for good timesIn full: This event was overall very good and I'd definitely do it again. I've done it the past couple of years, and each time time the race route showed the gradual construction of the Olympic stadium progressing -- this year the route did not pass the stadium, which was a shame (especially it being the Olympic year). However, the organisation was seamless.Everything went very well, except perhaps my own travel to the race! (Word of warning, there is more than one Westfield shopping center in London!! Oops). Organisation was very good, free post-race massages available, free food + cups of tea on a cold morning, good goodie bag contents (though had hoped for post-run food, but instead received a Well-Woman drink... not sure what they're suggesting!).Date of review: April 16, 2012
In short: Impressive race, interesting scenery, good organisation and a community feelIn full: Overall I was quite happy with this race. Interesting route, good atmosphere, got a decent medal and tshirt and the people seemed friendly.All good with the exception of 2 little niggly things:1. Post-race, the queue for our bags was so long it took me 25 mins to get my bag. Combine that with aching muscles, post-race shivers and the cold and wind it was not pleasant. 2. (this is not something the organisers could have done anything about but for me it took away from the positive experience) There was no DLR on the day of the race and the buses were diverted due to the race which means it took me 1.5hrs to get to the race and another 1.5hrs to get back... and I live in Tower Hamlets!Also, there was only one water station but as it wasnt a warm day that was fine. I will try to do it again next year!Date of review: April 16, 2012
In short: Good well organised race, well attended - unfortunately short this yearIn full: My second time doing this race, good fun over a reasonable course (and close to home). Nice sunny day made it a good run despite the cold and wind - unfortunately otherwise decent organisation ruined by a short course (probably 9.6 or 9.7km) which has prevented me from getting a "real" PB :-(Date of review: April 15, 2012
In short: A quick course, brilliant atmosphere, real community feel with some great characters. Date of review: April 15, 2012

13406 E. Philadelphia St. Whittier, CA 90608
As part of a liberal arts institution, the Department of Theatre and Communication Arts focuses on providing both breadth and depth in the field, encouraging students to develop interdisciplinary connections, to demonstrate the collaborative nature of this discipline, and to articulate their own critical presentation of theatre as both an artistic art form and as a cultural artifact.
Department goals include:
Each year, the department produces up to four faculty directed productions in the Ruth B. Shannon Center for the Performing Arts. Productions afford students multiple opportunities to engage in theatre as a collaborative process - as a performer, stage manager, assistant stage manager, etc., or as a member of various construction and running crews.
Graduating majors from the theatre program have the tools to pursue a professional career, graduate studies, or continue their path as lifelong appreciators of the theatrical arts. Recent graduates have found that their education in the department has prepared them for careers in personnel, education, sales and advertising, business, law, and publishing, as well as acting, directing, design and technical direction, writing, film, television, and the themed entertainment industry.

Expert Q & A Answers About coping with spinal cord injury
My husband has a spinal chord injury and now won't even touch me. What can we do to fix our marriage?
My husband sustained a spinal cord injury just a year after we married. Since then, he's not interested in sex, and never touches me. In fact, even when I hug him, he pushes me away as soon as he can. I have begged him to go to marriage counseling with me to get help but he refuses. His refusal to even try to work on our problems has made me resentful and I have stopped trying. I live in one part of the house and he lives in the other and we don't spend time together at all without fighting. Part of me thinks "leave and get a life," and part of me still loves him and feels sorry for him, and wants our marriage to work. I just don't know what to do anymore.

Topic: Rails LIKE condition
Hi there, Im having a problem trying to create a query with multiple "like" conditions, the codes looks like this...
@search = []
@like = []
@words = params[:qsearch].split(" ")
@words.each do |p|
@like << "tags LIKE ?"
@search << "%"+p+"%"
@search = Pagina.where("#{@like.join}", @search).page(params[:page]).per(20)
It supose to be sanitized using "tags LIKE ?", @var but when the param is ' OR "1"="1" -- # the query fails because it closes the query with the single quote or double quote, how do I suppose to use the LIKE condition?

This document, Release 2.0 of the NIST Framework and Roadmap for Smart Grid Interoperability Standards, details progress made in Phases II and III of NIST's three-phase plan since the establishment of the Smart Grid Interoperability Panel (SGIP) in November 2009. Major deliverables have been produced in the areas of Smart Grid architecture, cybersecurity, and testing and certification. The lists of standards, Tables 4-1 and 4-2, have been updated and expanded. The first group of Smart Grid standards to emerge from the SGIP Priority Action Plans (PAPs), filling gaps identified in Release 1.0, were added to the list of identified Smart Grid standards. The listed standards have undergone an extensive vetting process and are expected to stand the "test of time" as useful building blocks for firms producing devices and software for the Smart Grid, as well as for utilities, regulators, academia, and other Smart Grid stakeholders.
The reference model, standards, gaps, and action plans described in this document provide a solid foundation for a secure, interoperable Smart Grid. However, the Smart Grid will continually evolve as new requirements and technologies emerge. The processes established by the SGIP, engaging the diverse community of Smart Grid stakeholders, provide a robust ongoing mechanism to develop requirements to guide the standardization efforts now spanning more than 20 standards-setting organizations.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (July 11, 2011) – The U.S. Men's Sitting Volleyball Team rebounded from a first-set loss to take down China, 15-25, 25-19, 25-22, 25-20 on Monday in its opening match of the 2011 Continental Cup in Kettering, England.
The men struggled initially with the quickness of China's offense, but made some adjustments that led the team to victory.
Eric Duda (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) and James Stuck (New Kensington, Pa.) each scored 12 points for the United States while J. Dee Marinko (Newcastle, Okla.) and Roderick Green (West Monroe, La.) also contributed with another 11 points each.
Duda recorded six kills and six blocks while Stuck added eight kills and four blocks. Marinko added 10 kills on a .530 hitting efficiency, as Green added six kills and five blocks.
The U.S. Men won the blocking battle overwhelmingly, 20-3.
It was an important victory for the U.S. Men's Sitting Team, which lost to China at the 2010 Sitting World Championships.
"In the first set, we couldn't find our rhythm to get started," U.S. Men's Sitting Team Head Coach Edgar Miraku (Elbasan, Albania) said. "As the match progressed, we were able to make some small changes that gave us the edge we needed to be the stronger team today."
Miraku also noted the team's blocking effort in the win.
"The guys started reading China's offense better as the game carried on, and they were able to do a phenomenal job in closing up the block."
On Sunday, the U.S. Men's Sitting Team defeated Great Britain in an official scrimmage, 25-16, 26-24, 25-20. The scrimmage was used as a warm-up for both teams, but also provided Team USA with an opportunity to experiment with its lineup in preparation for the tournament.
USA will play Azerbaijan in pool play at 4:30 p.m. (local time) on Tuesday.

Proud Of Being A Sports Fans!
Page 1 of 2
Spors fans are a unique breed of people. They are perfectly normal in most situations, but put on a game of their favorite team and BOOM! out comes the rabid fan. A lot of guys see sports as an escape from the stress of everyday life.
Men understand this whole phenomenon but unfortunately, most women don't. A girlfriend or wife can pretend to be "supportive" when you go out with the guys to watch sports, but watch out when you get home. You better have just as much time planned for her as you do for sports.
It's in men's blood to be competitive and that is why we love sports so much. We live vicariously through athletes, they are the what if I tried answer to all those dreams we had as little boys about growing up and hitting the winning homerun in the 9th inning of the World Series.
When an important game comes on, friends become enemies and enemies become friends. Look at the world's (minus the US and Canada) fascination with soccer. Two countries in Central America once called a cease-fire during their war to play a soccer game. Sworn enemies in the African nation of Cameroon united as one when their team advanced to the quarter-finals in the 1990 World Cup. Catholic and Protestant soccer fans routinely bash each other's heads when the Celtics and the Rangers play in Scotland. For men, cheering on their favorite team is often a passion that can easily be compared to the same passion one has for their lover.

Red, White, and Blue for 26.2
(photo courtesy of Bobby Gill)
There was a certain superhero that made an appearance at the 34th Marine Corps Marathon. Each year, thousands of active duty US Marines come out to volunteer at the People's marathon. In order to show his gratitude for the service that these brave men and women have made to their country, he ran the entire 26.2 mile course with a flag in hand. On his front he wore a sign that simply read "Thank you Marines". Just a small thanks to our brave military. The Flash is a fictional superhero, but the men and women of the US military are real heros.
The Marathon:
The Marine Corps Marathon is attended by thousands of US Marines, and also many other active/former military. I knew carrying the American Flag meant alot of responsibility. I feared wearing the costume might seem like I was mocking the flag, so I made sure it was properly flying at all times. In the nation's capitol, anyone who dares carry the flag, better do so with respect. I had laid down some rules for running with it.
1. Stars must fly in the upper left corner.
2. Unless at a water stop, I will NOT be seen walking with the flag
3. Run at all times and show no sign of fatigue
4. Never let the flag touch the ground
5. Allow servicemen/women to salute the flag
6. Allow any military person to carry the flag if they ask
7. Keep the flag raised as high as possible, especially through crowded streets. It must be clearly visible at all times
8. Acknlowledge the fact that the run is about the Flag and troops, not the costume
9. If I cannot keep rules 1-8 intact, I should give the flag up to someone who can
At 8am the cannon blast roared, and I pushed through the crowded city streets. I had no intention of running fast. The first five miles were at 9:30 pace. Within the first hour several things became very obvious. It was going to be a very grueling run in the costume. It was much hotter than the '08 milkshake costume because my legs, head, and arms were covered. Temperatures exceeded the forcasted 58 degree high and climbed to 65 degrees. The second clear fact was that the flag, although only a few lbs, would be harder to carry than I thought. The final fact was that the flag was inspiring alot of people.
The reaction from the crowds was the same from Georgetown to the Iwo Jima memorial. Already lively folks would cheer upon seeing the costume, and cheer louder when I pointed to the flag. Runners came up beside me to get their photo taken with the Flash. On other occasions military runners requested to run a few moments with the flag, or beside it. It was an honor having these true heroes running with me. When seeing the flag, the Marines volunteering would stop, put their feet together and give a salute. Gripping and inspiring.
While it was easy to get caught up with all the attention, I wanted to be perfectly clear that I wanted the attention on the American flag and the Marines.
The rest of the marathon went on with the same enthusiasm. I'd gave a high five to the Georgetown bull dog, and shout outs to the high school bands. Although it became increasingly difficult throughout the marathon, I kept a smile on my face, and the flag held high. I was particularly touched around mile 11. I stopped to tie my shoe laces, so I asked a bystander to hold the American flag for me. Without hesitation he grabbed the flag and held it as high as he could. He held it with pride and dignity. I realized what an honor it was for him to have that one moment. I realized what an honor I had to carry the red, white, and blue for 26.2 miles.
By mile 23 I was starting to feel the effects of major deydration. I had been drinking 3-5 cups of water and poweraid at each stop. I ate sport beans and orange slices when possible, but still I was losing water weight at a rapid pace. The last two miles were a struggle, but I was determined to show no sign of fatigue. Afterall, would the real Flash get tired? The American flag must stay in strong hands. Up the final hill I pushed through to the finish.
Although time was not a consideration in this run, I did manage to finish in 3:58:55. It was considerably slower than the 3:29:45 I ran the previous year in the milkshake costume. My biceps and shoulders are sore from carrying the flag for almost four hours. A slight discomfort, and well worth it.
Thank you Marines. Semper Fidelis "Always Faithful"

You just made me cry. In a good way.
I think MCM is such an inspirational event. I really commend you for obeying your 8 rules to honor those who served and are serving.
You truly are amazing and an inspiration.
P.S. how are you feeling now? Would you still be pulled from an ultra?

great post, mike. i wholeheartedly agree with tammy in that your 8 rules are very commendable. we must always show thanks for the men and women who give the ultimate sacrifice so we can go about our everyday lives.
i was definitely one of the people who saw The Flash and didn't realize it was you. heck, i took the picture you used in this post and i didn't even realize it was you at the time, just thought it was a good photo op. it wasn't until mile 18 when Bull ran by and shouted "hey Bobby, Bailey is back there running as The Flash!" that i realized it was you.
great work on the costume and the flag. glad you didn't get lost ;-)

A very unique way to show your support. I appreciate the respect and care that went into running that distance with the flag. It is a symbol that many men and women have paid the ultimate sacrifice to defend. Thanks for your support.
Semper Fi,

Thanks for your comment. It means alot to me to be thanked by a US Marine. I have several close friends who are Marines and have recently returned from duty in the middle east. Both of my grandfathers served in WWII. One in a tank battlion in Germany, the other as a B-17 bomber pilot. Running, at any distance, can never compare to the sacrifices troops make for our country. Americans remain, safe, comfortable, and go about their lives never really understanding what our soldiers are doing for them.
Thank you for your service Mike!

Mike, thanks you you are a great American! I saw you in the photos afterword and one of my friends snaped a photo of the "cool guy in the flash costume with the big flag" I told her. Hey that was my friend! So I had instant coolness status cause I knew you. Anyway, I look forward to seeing you out on the run soon

Ashton Kutcher's popchips ad is racist, plain and simple. I'm not sure how else I would classify a white actor in brown face mocking Indian accents. That most white people, black people and other races are not offended by it, while sad, is understandable. Other people of Indian descent may not be offended by it and that's their personal choice.
It's *NOT* about the fact that no one would dare don a blackface today. (If you said Robert Downey Jr, please take your discussions to this forum – link via @sepiamutiny). In 2012, to don brownface and mock a foreign accent is just plain unacceptable.
As an Indian man with brown skin and an Indian accent, who gets ribbed on it every now and then, it does sting a little to view these mock portrayals on TV. I don't have a choice on how I look or talk, Ashton does when he signs up for these ad campaigns.
Re-purposing an immortal quote from a great leader, I have a dream that my yet-to-be-conceived children will one day live in a nation where they will not be mocked for the color of their skin or the accents of their parents.

Also, feel free to tweet Ashton Kutcher @aplusk and tell him what you think about this topic.

Of course he's an expert – he's made a movie!
And to the left that certainly suffices for expertise. I mean, after all he and Al Gore share that "distinction". I'm talking about Avatar's James Cameron, of course. It seems he believes that those who don't blindly follow the false god of pseudo science as presented by Al Gore and his minions are, well, "swine":
"I think they're swine," he said at the American Renewable Energy Day Summit, the Aspen Times reported.
The summit hosts such climate scientists of distinction as T. Boone Pickens, Ted Turner, James Cameron, Bill Ritter, Kristina Johnson and Thomas Friedman. Yes, it is loaded to the gills with science.
Favorite quotes from the Aspen Times article:
"A lot of really good American people are being lied to," added Peter Byck, the director of an upcoming climate change documentary called "Carbon Nation."
Byck stressed that Americans' hearts are in the right places, but that skeptics of climate change have such a vast infrastructure in getting what he called their false message out, many don't know whom to believe.
No, don't laugh – he probably really believes that. The "vast infrastructure" spoken of are Glen Beck, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh. Not the vast number of grants and huge amount of government money that has, to this point, been wasted on trying to prove what appears to be the unprovable. And forget Gore's movie and massive propaganda campaign, it is the skeptics who, with a few blog sites and facts, have been able to successfully blunt the previous onslaught of activist "science" and the left doesn't like it.
Oh, and after claiming this vast opposing infrastructure exits our precious crew criticized the media:
They also criticized the media for giving half of its attention to a very small — less than 1 percent, they said — portion of scientists who say global warming is not caused by humans.
Less than 1%? Vast infrastructure? Yeah, you reconcile the two. But the important point to recognize is even if it is only 1%, skeptics have been able, through the use of facts and analysis, to stop the "global warming" farce in its tracks.
That brings me to perhaps my favorite quote of the entire Aspen Times story:
Greene, Cameron and a host of other climate-change activists said there needs to be a broad educational campaign, one aimed at convincing voters and politicians that not being able to prove that fossil fuel-produced carbon is changing the temperature of Earth is not a license for inaction.
Emphasis mine. If ever the left was distilled into a paragraph, that's it. Scientific proof, we don't need no stinkin' scientific proof – we feel it in our bones. And that's reason enough to take mega drastic action that will ruin economies, cause poverty and, eventually, kill people. Of course the "broad educational campaign" aimed at "voters" would be based on, well, nothing. It would be propaganda in its purist form and about as "educational" as a lecture by Gore.
Cameron also apparently challenged the "swine" to a debate at the conference. They invited skeptics and the news media to watch as, one supposes, Cameron and crew would take the "swine" apart. Ann McElhinny, who was to be a part of the debate and was privy to the rules to be followed tells the rest of the story:
But then as the debate approached James Cameron's side started changing the rules.
They wanted to change their team. We agreed.
They wanted to change the format to less of a debate-to "a roundtable". We agreed.
Then they wanted to ban our cameras from the debate. We could have access to their footage. We agreed.
Bizarrely, for a brief while, the worlds [sic] most successful film maker suggested that no cameras should be allowed-that sound only should be recorded. We agreed [sic]
Then finally James Cameron, who so publicly announced that he "wanted to call those deniers out into the street at high noon and shoot it out," decided to ban the media from the shoot out.
He even wanted to ban the public. The debate/roundtable would only be open to those who attended the conference.
No media would be allowed and there would be no streaming on the internet. No one would be allowed to record it in any way.
We all agreed to that.
And then, yesterday, just one day before the debate, his representatives sent an email that Mr. "shoot it out " Cameron no longer wanted to take part. The debate was cancelled.
Marvelous. So the man who said in a previous interview, "I want to call those deniers out into the street at high noon and shoot it out with those boneheads," crumpled like a wet paper box when finally confronted with the reality of doing so. And then made the "swine" remark. Yes, that's right, after he had chickend out of a debate he had called for and organized, he called the other side "swine".
It wasn't like he was going to be confronted by real, honest to goodness scientists who didn't believe in global warming. The "skeptics" he was to confront were Marc Morano of the Climate Depot website and Andrew Breitbart, and film maker McElhinny ("Not Evil Just Wrong").
However, according to Morano, Cameron decided not to take the stage after being warned off by a coterie of environmentalists that "debate with skeptics … was not in his best interest." Among them was Joseph Romm of Climate Progress who had engaged in such a debate previously with Marc Morano and was soundly and obviously trounced.
So, speaking of demigods, just like this movement's demigod – Al Gore – they refuse to actually engage in debate, preferring name calling, puffery, pseudo science and propaganda as their tools of persuasion.
And they wonder why fewer and fewer are listening to them.

We need to understand that our lives depend on species we have never heard of.That is, scientists may need to explain their work on a far more basic level — not "Why do species matter?" but "Is food important to you?" or "Do you want your children to have effective medicines when they get sick?" or even "Do you like to breathe?" None of these questions overstates the importance of species.
A diversity of species can help prevent the emergence of new diseases.impacts went well beyond the stench, according to a 2008 article in Ecological Economics. Moving into the niche vacated by the vultures, feral dog populations boomed by up to 9 million animals over the same period. Dog bites and the incidence of rabies in humans also increased, and the authors conservatively estimated that an additional 48,000 people died during the 14-year period as a result. Calculating the bottom-line worth of what we get from the natural world is notoriously difficult. But even pricing lives at a fraction of developed world values, the near-total loss of three insignificant vulture species has so far cost India an estimated $24 billion.
Our understanding is too primitive to say one species is important and another isn't.anemones, and particularly mussels. Starfish are the dominant predator. So mussels normally crowd up along the high tide line, where starfish are less likely to chomp them. In one study, a biologist removed the starfish to see what would happen. The mussels soon crept down toward deeper water, crowding out other species. Within a few years, only eight of the 15 original species still lived in that neighborhood. For all their apparent cruelty, killer species can be a means of fostering biodiversity.
Species are a mother lode of material for making agricultural crops more productive.the Battle of Agincourt. But it's now the source for taxol, relied on by tens of thousands of people as a life-saving treatment for breast, prostate, and ovarian cancers. Sales topped $1.6 billion last year, according to IMS Health, a healthcare information and consulting company. Likewise, no one ever marched to save the gila monsters, but their venom is the source of a new drug for people who resist conventional treatments for Type 2 diabetes, an epidemic disease now on track to affect more than a third of all Americans over their lifetimes.
