The results are in with 80 responses!
Thank you for taking a few minutes to complete my Technology Roll Call Survey and give me a little insight into my readers' access to technology and their professional development needs. I have enjoyed seeing all the technology teachers have, along with the interest in getting more technology and using it more effectively. Always remember that having the technology tools is great, but it is the teacher and the purpose behind the tools that make them effective instructional pieces. Click Read More to see some of the results from the survey and get a glimpse into some upcoming blog topics. BONUS: A GREAT FREE graphing Web site is displayed and shared in this post!
80 teachers from across the country as well as from Australia, Canada, and Bangladesh participated in our survey. It was so nice to hear from teachers from different areas and schools around the world. I hope you come back and contribute to my blog weekly so we can learn from you as well.
Graph A shows the grade levels of the teachers that responded to the survey. You can see that although K–2 had a nice representation, the 3rd–5th grade teachers are a big majority. This information helps me to know my audience and can make sure to include ideas, activities, and resources for the appropraite levels.
Graph A
Graph B shows what technology our readers currently have access to in their classrooms. I was excited to see many teachers with LCD Projectors, document cameras, and interactive whiteboards. I am, though, very jealous of the three teachers with SMART Tables. I'd love to hear how you are using it in the classroom and how you were able to purchase one. Another exciting result was the ten people who responded saying they have a 1:1 learning environment where each student has a laptop. Since I teach a 1:1 kindergarten, I would love to hear more about your experiences and successes. It really is an amazing model of teaching and learning.

Carrier Mills finished up a 1-2 showing at the Eldorado Holiday Tournament as they fell to Fairfield 55-42 Saturday.
Head coach Mark Motsinger said it was a growing lesson for his kids, in which he saw his team grow up a little bit over the course of two days.
The Wildcats were within 10 points after the end of the third quarter 40-30, but frustration sat in when shots just didn't seem to fall in the final eight minutes for Carrier Mills.
"I thought we played hard, but our shots just wouldn't fall tonight," Motsinger said. "I was real pleased with our effort. I thought the game against Hamilton County was the best game we have played all year.
That win late Friday night catapulted Carrier Mills farther into the consolation bracket and was an inspiring win for Motsinger.
"I think we saw a little growing up this week, I really did."
Down the stretch against Fairfield, Carrier Mills had problems with the size of 6-foot-6 sophomore Nathaniel Lackey who scored 20 points in the game and had five in the fourth to keep the Wildcats at arms length.
Motsinger noted that Fairfield's size was a problem for his squad Saturday and the Wildcats were without Dalton Summer, who was attending his sister's wedding, a hole that the long time head coach said took away some of his team's "umph"
"Nathaniel Lackey will be one of the best players in southern Illinois in a few years," Motsinger noted.
"Our effort was there tonight and it was a case where our shots were falling in the first half and even into the third quarter, but when they weren't late down the stretch, our guys got frustrated a little bit and I think it showed."
Cameron Taborn and Dalton Betz led Carrier Mills in scoring with 16 points and Taborn added a crucial seven points in the second quarter as the Wildcats trailed by just four at the break 25-21.
Betz' seven of his 16 points propelled Carrier Mills early helping the Wildcats get out to a 11-9 lead.
But the struggles sat in for Carrier Mills in the third quarter as they were outscored 15-9.
Fairfield 09 16 15 15 - 55
Carrier Mills 11 10 09 12 - 42
Fairfield: Griffith 1 2-3 4, Fry 1 6-7 8, Rodger 1 4-4 6, Cody Simpson 5 10, Lackey 9 2-5 20, Gifford 1-2 7. Totals: 17 15-21 55.
Carrier Mills: Figg 2 0-1 7, Bailey 1 2, Taborn 6 4-6 16, Betz 5 16, Whiting 1-2 1. Totals: 14 5-9 42.
3-pt FG: Fairfield 2 (Gifford), Carrier Mills 3 (Betz 2, Figg).

Civil War monument proposed
NEW ULM – The Civil War/Gettysburg/New Ulm ad hoc committee is seeking public input for a new monument for the city.
The proposed Civil War Memorial would be designed as a stone obelisk with blue base and top with a grey divider through the middle to symbolize the conflict. The project will be entirely funded by donations, with no money requested from the City of New Ulm.
However, organizers are seeking public input before settling on the final design. A wooden replica of the proposed monument has been placed inside City Hall for public inspection.
The proposed design would involve each of the four sides focusing the conflict, such as one side for the Battle of Shiloh or for the Battle of Gettysburg. Each side will have a picture encased in Plexiglas and a plaque giving details on topics ranging from the battles to the contributions of Minnesota soldiers.
Denny Warta, who has spearheaded the project, said the monument was proposed because most of the Minnesota memorials to the Civil War are located at the battle locations in other states. There is interest in building a monument that could be visited by Minnesotans.
The monument's potential location has not yet been selected. Current proposals have ranged from Riverside Park to the space behind the Glockenspiel to close proximity to sports fields.
Comments on the design or suggestions for its location can be submitted to firstname.lastname@example.com
The work on the monument is also part of larger project by the ad hoc committee to host "The Civil War, Gettysburg and New Ulm: The 150th Commemoration" event on July 3 in New Ulm. The date is the last day of the national observance of the 150th anniversary of conclusion of the Battle of Gettysburg.
The group has received a $1,000 grant from the Minnesota Civil Commemorative Task Force to put on the event. Current plans involve several speeches about Minnesota soldiers who fought in the Civil War, a play by NUACT on the story of "Taps," the melody that is traditionally played by a bugler at the funeral of a veteran. Concerts are also planned. The event will end with a reciting of the Gettysburg Address, firing by the New Ulm Battery and a performance of "Taps."
The group is also currently working to have Gov. Mark Dayton speak at the event

Skip to comments.Feds boot Drakes Bay Oyster Co. from Pt. Reyes
Posted on 11/29/2012 5:16:32 PM PST by GSWarrior
U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar rejected a proposal to extend the lease of a popular oyster farm at Point Reyes National Seashore on Thursday, effectively ending more than a century of shellfish production on the 1,100 acres where Europeans first stepped foot in California.
The decision will allow the National Park Service to turn the picturesque bay where Sir Francis Drake landed more than 400 years ago into California's first federally designated marine wilderness area.
Salazar made his decision a day before the 40-year lease allowing Drakes Bay Oyster Co., to harvest shellfish in the estuary expires and one week after visiting the site.
(Excerpt) Read more at sfgate.com ...
Screw CA. Let their tax revenues fall below Zer0.
How many more jobs lost because of Federal action?
I wonder how many jobs that moved cost.
It's only thirty jobs. They can get work as porters when the high speed rail system goes into operation.
On the bright side now we'll have a few more yards of muddy, smelly tide lands to enjoy.
Watch for a well connected Chinese company to open shop.....
Agenda 21 strikes again.....http://www.democratsagainstunagenda21.com
According to the article, the oyster farm preceded the national seashore, whatever the heck that is.
Sweet progress.
The next time I get a notification from the FTC and FDA on bacterial infections in the food systems shellfish, I will lay all the blame on Salazar and his misguided myrmidons!
Drakes Bay Oyster Co. has raised shellfish at Point Reyes for over 100 years.
Where in the heck is the justification for shutting it down??
This is Agenda 21 through and
Through.Total control of everything. Not only Federal control but GLOBAL.
In Marin County no less. I guess ChiFi must not like the taste of oysters.

I wonder how long before the Jack Booted thugs shut down the 2 oyster farms on Humboldt Bay...
no one should believe a...
contract, understanding, promise,
in perpetuity
There is another oyster company just across the water from Drakes that is called the Tomales Bay Oyster Co. Big tourist attraction. II wonder when their lease is up? I have friends that own a ranch a mile from Tomales Bay Oyster Co. The National Park Service moved them to that location at taxpayer expense because the locals were afraid the environment would be ruined because they owned another ranch, closer to "town" maybe 25 years ago. I hope they are safe from Obama even though they voted for him and think I'm nuts.
Most people in the area are staunch liberals but there is a very conservative church in Inverness that is quite famous and which I attended for 20+ years. We used to BBQ those Drakes (Johnson) oysters at church picnics.
Another stretch of coastline soon to be off limits to boats and human beings.
"Another stretch of coastline soon to be off limits to boats and human beings."
Yep, the eco terrorists, who hate humans and any human who makes an honest living fishing, farming, logging or whatever will ban all humans except for a hand selected few.
I could see this coming and started using Kayaks 3 years ago, (currently have 3).
In the last 3 years, the hate human eco terrorists started restricting where you can park to launch your kayaks. Areas we could use to yak on, only 3 years ago now have basically no roads or trails to the water. That way the young 20-40 year old eco terrorists can lug their yaks to and from the water. Those of us who are in our later years or have some type of physical limitations are $crewed.
Drakes Bay has been a great place to Kayak. That will soon be limited to a few hand selected eco terrorists by banning parking and access to get to the Bay.
"I wonder how long before the Jack Booted thugs shut down the 2 oyster farms on Humboldt Bay..."
In a few years and of course any dairy farmers in the drainage areas which flow into the Pacific will be the new targets.
What ever happened to the California Coastal Commission that was supposed to ensure our access to the coast?
Thanks for the link.
We have to start fighting fire with fire rather than just adapting to their aggressive, militant, totalitarian behavior toward everyone but themselves!!!
The dairy farmers in the Eel and Mad river bottoms have been under attack for 3 or 4 years over "discharge" into a waterway...

Power Save 1200 or similar productsThursday, May 21st, 2009
I came across an add for the Power Save 1200. Electricity flow "cleaner" with a 1K solar panel to connect without batteries. We are on the grid and looking to waste less and minimize our "footprint". http://www.power-save1200.com/1200.html. They have an assortment of interesting products.
Would like your opinion.
Thank you!
Even if we installed wind and solar equipment for free, no labor charges at all, just the hardware costs for either system would easily exceed many thousands of dollars, so anyone that claims they can do this for $299, tells me there may be more to the story. For example, the web site you referred me to is very interesting as it discusses in detail their solar grid-tie system, but no costs or sizes are given, and a grid-tie wind system, but no costs or sizes are given, then the ad goes into describing this power saving product with a $299 price, as if it included all the solar and wind features that were also listed as if this was all the same product.
Based on the very limited information provided as to how this "black box" can save up to 25% of your home's utility usage, a figure I highly doubt, it appears to me this is just another capacitor bank with an added whole house surge suppressor. Yes, there are times when large motor or transformer loads on an electrical system can cause the voltage and current to be out of phase more than 90 degrees as required for maximum power conversion. However, I do not know any utility companies that measure this power factor penalty except for large commercial clients since this requires installing a separate power factor meter. It is highly doubtful that even if you had an extreme case of all kinds of motor and transformer loads in your home, odds are this is not being metered or is not enough to cause the type of added savings being claimed by this device. The only time we install equipment like this is for a large retail store with thousands of fluorescent lights, or a large industrial facility with all kinds of large motor loads.
As far as the mentioned benefit for having a surge suppressor, yes this can save your appliances from damage if there is a major voltage surge on the utility line like lightning nearby, but you can buy a whole house surge suppressor at Lowes for about $40.00.
I suggest that you first contact your local utility to see if they even measure power factor on their residential meters, and if they do, ask them what this added utility cost is. If it is not metered by the utility, the only benefit I can see to adding a capacitor bank would be if your power factor was so bad that it was increasing the actual VA metered usage, and for that you would need a whole house-full of motor and ballast loads to realize these kinds of savings.
I say read the small print on anything like this since the basic information being offered before the sale is too limited to actually know what you are buying, how it works, and how they are measuring their very high utility savings. Odds are this sample case is nothing like your home.
Buyer beware,
Jeff Yago

Victoria Hunt was recently featured on TLC's reality series "Extreme Cheapskates" for the radical lengths she goes to save a few dollars. Those dollars have added up, and Hunt is a millionaire — a millionaire who Dumpster dives. But Hunt's reasons for her cheapskate ways aren't just to save money; it's also about being environmentally conscious.
I started these methods in my early twenties. I was a single parent with a small baby. When I got a good career going I immediately set up a life budget. I put in all my income and projected all the way out to 110 [years old]. I covered everything — inflation, helping my son with a car when he's 16, helping him with college.
As I got older I really missed my original calling. I really wanted to be a park ranger and be out in the wilderness. Trying to waste less brought me back to nature — saving money and wasting less go hand-in-hand.
The thing that I'm really getting notoriety for is peeing in a bottle. I love the art and science of making compost, and putting urine in there makes it work much better. But I don't have to flush as much. I did the math: Here in Columbus, where our water bills have gone up 35 percent the last three years, it saves a couple dollars a month.
I have three chickens. I Dumpster dive to save on the cost of feed. I love my eggs. Before I had my chickens, people always told me I had to have fresh eggs. Now, I get ill tasting regular eggs. You can definitely tell the difference.
There's this unspoken ritual we do in America: If we don't want something but don't want to throw it away, we set it by the garbage can or at the end of the street. They'll put out a stereo or a vacuum cleaner. Instead of buying a new one and burning the oil to make that stuff, I take it home, clean it and use it.
Besides "Extreme Cheapskates," I'll be appearing on "Steve Harvey." I was also on "Anderson Live."
Somebody had thrown away really high-quality children's clothing. There were 100 pieces in there. I washed them and I'm waiting for someone in my life that needs them. That's like hundreds of dollars there. When I'm doing "Steve Harvey" next week, they want to recreate Dumpster diving, and I'm taking the children's clothing. I'll ask the producer if I could offer them as a donation to someone in the audience.

Grilled Collard Greens
- Salt
- 1 bunch collard greens
- 2 to 3 slices bacon
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preheat grill to high heat.
Bring a large pot of salted water, over medium heat, to a boil.
Remove the ribs from the collard greens and discard. Put the leaves into the boiling, water, then add the bacon slices and blanch the collard greens for about 2 minutes. Remove the leaves from the water and place into an ice water bath to stop the cooking process.
Remove the collards from the ice water and stack the leaves flat on top of each other, about 7 to 9 at a time. Put the stacked collards on the grill for 4 minutes per side.
Transfer the leaves from the grill to a cutting board and roughly chop. Put into a serving bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
A viewer, who may not be a professional cook, provided this recipe. The Food Network Kitchens chefs have not tested this recipe and therefore, we cannot make representation as to the results.

Milberg, William
William Milberg's research is in two distinct areas of economics. The first is the consequences of economic globalization for income distribution and economic insecurity. Milberg studies how the globalization of production (expanded trade and investment) has impacted profits, wages, investment, financialization and economic growth. His recent research focuses on the U.S. experience, but he has done considerable comparative analysis across OECD countries. The emphasis on global value chains has led to a series of studies of the distribution of value added within developing countries as a result of the corporate strategy shift towards globalized production among lead, developed country firms.
The second area of research in the history and methodology of economics. Milberg studies the role of pragmatism in 20th and 21st century American economic thought and how this tradition has influenced scientfici methods in economics.

Selected Speeches
Speech Video
At the Luncheon Hosted by the President of the Republic of Brazil Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva
Brasilia, Brazil
23 October 2008
In the Name of God, the Most Merciful, the Compassionate,
Mr. President,
Distinguished guests,
Dear Friends,
On behalf of Rania and myself, and the entire Jordanian delegation, allow me to thank you for giving us such a warm welcome. We are delighted to be here ... and grateful for the wonderful hospitality we have received from the Brazilian people.
This is my first visit to Brazil. But, Mr. President, I do not feel like a newcomer. For Jordan, Brazil is not a stranger. It is an admired friend. Brazilians have made their country's name known and respected everywhere in the world - in the circles of international diplomacy ... to the corridors of global business ... on the world's best-seller lists and in the media ... and through technology advances, from sea to space.
My friends,
Happy as our meeting is, it comes at a time of serious global challenges. But despite these challenges, our countries can progress on the path forward ... by forging partnerships to build a better future.
My friends,
I am proud to say that Jordan has been a consistent advocate for Middle East development and reform, including economic integration. And beyond the Middle East, we have worked to create a worldwide network of economic partners and friends of peace. We look to Brazil as a leader and model of progress.
Your country has set the global standard for multilateralism, regional cooperation, and the peaceful settlement of disputes. Brazil's multi-ethnic society offers lessons to the world about co-existence and progress. Immigrants from my region were first welcomed here more than a century ago. Today, the Brazilian Arab community is South America's largest and one of the world's most dynamic. This history sends a powerful message to my region about Brazil's positive national culture and goodwill.
For Jordan, tolerance and moderation are pillars of our society and future. I am proud that my country was the source of the decisive Amman Message, expressing Islam's true values to Muslims and non-Muslims worldwide. This work will continue as long as distortions and inter-faith divisions threaten our world. Mr. President, we hope to work with you to strengthen the bridges among peoples, worldwide.
My friend,
Allow me to say a word of special thanks to you for your leadership in global affairs, especially in reaching out to the Middle East. Under your leadership, three years ago, Brazil hosted the first Arab-South American Summit. And we appreciate your support for cooperation between Jordan and MERCOSUR.
Brazil has been a long-time supporter of justice for Palestinians, and you have taken an active role ... both in responding to the humanitarian crisis ... and in supporting a two-state settlement. I do not need to tell anyone here, how vital this is, for the region - and the entire world. For progress, for stability, for moderation, there must be a comprehensive agreement ... an end to conflict, with security for Israelis, and justice for Palestinians - in an independent, viable, and sovereign Palestinian state.
Mr. President,
My friends,
We truly value Brazil's partnership and good will. I wish your people the greatest success. And I commit to you Jordan's enduring friendship, cooperation, and respect, and for us it would be a tremendous honour to host you, Mr. President, and your colleagues in Jordan in the near future.
Thank you again for the very warm hospitality extended to me and my delegation.

Skip to comments.27% of Republicans Would Vote for Pro-Life Third Party Instead of Giuliani (Proof Rudy CAN'T Win)
Posted on 10/04/2007 9:38:23 AM PDT by TitansAFC
If Rudy Giuliani wins the Republican nomination and a third party campaign is backed by Christian conservative leaders, 27% of Republican voters say theyd vote for the third party option rather than Giuliani. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that a three-way race with Hillary Clinton would end up with the former First Lady getting 46% of the vote, Giuliani with 30% and the third-party option picking up 14%. In head-to-head match-ups with Clinton, Giuliani is much more competitive.
Over this past weekend, several Christian conservative leaders indicated they might back a pro-life, third-party, candidate if Giuliani wins the nomination.
The latest poll highlights the potential challenges for Giuliani, but the numbers must be considered in context. A generic third-party candidate may attract 14% of the vote in the abstract at this time. However, if a specific candidate is chosen, that person would likely attract less support due to a variety of factors. Almost all third party candidates poll higher earlier in a campaign and their numbers diminish as election day approaches. Ultimately, of course, some Republicans would have to face the question of whether to vote for Giuliani or help elect a Democrat.
The telephone survey found that 17% of Republicans believe its Very Likely conservative leaders would back a Pro-Life candidate if Giuliani is nominated. Another 32% believe it is Somewhat Likely. Among all voters, 22% think a third party approach is Very Likely and another 33% say its Somewhat Likely.
Most Republican voters consider themselves Pro-Life on the issue of Abortion. Most Democrats and Unaffiliated Voters are Pro-Choice.
The bigger question for Giuliani might be how this possible challenge from the right might affect perceptions of his electability. Currently, Giuliani is seen as the most electable Republican candidate which helps overcome concerns that some have about his ideology. A survey conducted earlier this month found that 72% of Republicans think Giuliani is at least Somewhat Likely to win the White House if nominated. However, the current survey finds that number falling to 58% if Christian conservatives back a third-party option.
With a third-party option on the table, only 18% of Republicans believe Giuliani would be Very Likely to win the election if nominated. Thats down from 31% in a two-way race.
Among all voters, 49% say Giuliani is at least Somewhat Likely to win a two-way match-up. That falls to 43% with a third party candidate in the mix.
Electability is a crucial issue for Giuliani because two-thirds of Republican voters seen him as politically moderate or liberal. That is a challenge unto itself in a political party where most primary voters consider themselves politically conservative. Fred Thompson is currently viewed as the most conservative candidate in the field.
Three of the last four Presidential elections have seen a candidate win with less than 50% of the total votes cast. If Hillary Clinton wins the Democratic Presidential nomination, there is a very reasonable possibility that neither major party candidate would top the 50% mark in Election 2008. With such a scenario, third party candidates on either side of the political spectrum could play a significant role by peeling away one or two percentage points of the vote.
Clinton is currently leading the race for the Democratic Presidential nomination, but her victory is not inevitable. Among Republicans, Thompson and Giuliani lead in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.

Sigh. I get the same feeling. There is an immovable force vs. irresistible object thing going on with Rudy911 and Conservatives like me who would never, ever vote for him. And the media will side with Hillary over any of the other GOPers - which normally does not scare me, but considering the mood of the country right now and the GOP's suicidal tendencies under the current "let's move left now before it's too late" battleplan.
Maybe we can pull it off, but it's going to take something like a Fred push or a late Romney run to get the party unified for 2008.
You are wrong and make no sense. You don't even know who I want—personally. However, I know that the people who are going to sit home or vote 3rd party if it's Rudy ARE hypocrits.
-—"However, I know that the people who are going to sit home or vote 3rd party if its Rudy ARE hypocrits."-—
Then you do not know the meaning of the word. Not supporting a Liberal who has been an activist against our dearest causes is called "being consistent," not "hypocritical." If it was wrong to support a democrat who did it, it's wrong to support a Republican who did it. Rudy911 once described himself as "one of the most effective abortion rights activists in America" before a NARAL meeting. He was right.
And I'm pretty sure you're a Rudophile. But you're right, I don't know that 100% - yet.
"And I will support anyone who is Right of them."
That's just it. Rudy is not in the least to the right of the Dems. He holds all the same views that Hillary does. I don't see any difference.
We conservatives thought we had it made when we had a Republican president and majorities in the Senate and the House. What happened? They went on a spending, vote-buying spree that would make a Kennedy blush. And those were the ones who promised to usher in a new day of limited government when they were elected! Rudy doesn't even give it lip service. No thanks. I would rather have a Dem president and a Republican Congress, than a Republican RHINO in the White House. At least if we have gridlock, Hill's plans might be thwarted.
That is certainly your right to do so. However, once they are elected, our influence is almost nil. As an example, there is Bush and the immigration issue. I would rather have a Republican Congress and a Dem president, than a RHINO president. At least then, the Republicans might stand up and fight.
They did, too. For about a day.
LOL. I stand corrected.
I begin to think that one day's worth of hope is about all we can expect from politics.
You just don't get it.
I don't want Rudy...I Huckabee. I am NOT going to get what I want.
But I am terrified of Hillary.
And I will vote for anything they put up as the GOP nominee in hopes of keeping Hillary out.
I would bet that most of the people on this forum are not FOR Guiliani...the big worry is getting Hillary.
I can't imagine that getting Hillary would be BETTER than stowing your Christian Hubris in order to keep her out. Just because the GOP doesn't kiss your ring YOU are going to SHOW them. Whew...good thinking kid! To hell with what happens to our country. I HATE where the republicans have gone...I feel betrayed. But I am going to keep Hillary out of the white house if I can.
WAKE UP, Preacher, you and Dr. Dobson.
He wants to give it to illegals and make us pay for it:
Captain Obvious...
...the big worry is getting Hillary.
Anyone who thinks Mrs. Clinton is the be all, end all of the election has already conceded defeat.
Maybe for you. The big worry for me is sacrificing my Christian values and voting for a pro abortion politician. I simply will not participate in that.
You do what you are compelled to do, and I will do what I am compelled to do. I will do it right along with many millions who have the same convictions, and I will never ever feel any shame for it.
Well, okay. I guess in your mind the Good Lord wants us to live under a Godless socialistic ruler to punish the USA for not nominating in a pure Christian.
You and your crowd will be real proud of yourselves for being the instrument of the Lord's wrath!
President Hillary delivered to us by the 'Christian Right'. You just gotta love it!
I am pretty ticked off at the RNC because they are wimps. They let the Libs get away with murder and lie down thinking they are taking the high ground. Going back to 2000 when Dashcle and the Dems filibustered judges. Screw 'em. If they want to filibuster, then make them filibuster the old fashion way.
President Bush is my guy. I do wish however that from Sept 11 on, he would have gone on TV to talk to us directly. Rather than through the media in an interveiw or press conference. Much like Reagan and Roosevelt.
I agree with you that a third party, ala James Dobson is just idiotic. No two ways about it.
I saw where some on replied to you that (paraphrasing)that "if you don't stand up for your principles, what will you stand for?"
I would say that my principles are represented with Conservatives and they are smashed by Liberals. Sit home if you wish but you lose.
"Well, okay. I guess in your mind the Good Lord wants us to live under a Godless socialistic ruler to punish the USA for not nominating in a pure Christian."
And in your mind I guess you think He's okay with us voting for a pro abortion candidate for other thing?
If you're okay with that, then do it. I won't. Period. Also, no amount of debate you can stir will change the mind of millions just like me.
It is precisely this kind of thinking that is giving power to the RINOs in our party. It is also this kind of thinking that drives the wedges tearing the party apart.
Yet you castigate the very Conservatives that are insisting the Republican Party uphold the principles that are the basis of the Republican and Conservative ideology.
What more are you willing to compromise in order to win?
If the Republican Party does not defend the principles we hold dear this time, what makes you believe they will ever uphold them again?
I am far less frightened of Hillary and the Socialist Democrats than I am of Republican Socialists. If the Socialist/Globalist RINOs continue in power, there will be no more Conservatism. The Republicans will be the instrument of our demise. That we allow them is to our shame. That we prefer them is the makings of our own demise.
There are things at play that are worse than losing.
You are making the assumtion that I am castigating Conservatives?? You are looking for a fight but not with me.
I won't compromise my principles even for the militants that want to follow James Dobson into the abyss.
You, not knowing what my principles are to begin with, shouldn't assume anything about me.
Worry about your own demise under the Hildebeast that you fear "less than Republican Socialists"
Ron Paul is your man.
True, but by the same token, it is the Judeo-Christian ethic that gives us our sense of virtue, our sense of good and evil. Our system only works if there is a unified sense of the moral ethic. That is why multiculturalism is ripping us apart.
To vilify Christians who are the keepers of our sense of social justice for upholding the tenants of their faith is tantamount to rejection of the very root of our definition of "American". You may try to replace the moral sense, but if you do you are no different than the Socialists, because that is precisely what they have been doing all along. It is the disintegration of that moral sense that gives credence to their bastardized form of social justice which is the sole source of their power.
Sorry for assuming that your principles were compatible to the standard traditional platform of the Republican party which are by and large the same as those professed by all Conservatives. My bad.
I am not looking for a fight, I am trying to understand how folks can think that undermining any of the principles we agree upon can be anything but anathema for us all.
What will be next? Shall we compromise on the second amendment too? Is that worth winning the day? Will you be just as vehement to those who hold the 2A inviolate and thereby cannot vote for some future candidate?
When governments are ruled by atheism, people die.
When governments are ruled by secular humanists, people die.
The point is, people kill each other, particularly if they are trying to maintain power.
And that means keeping the Commie-Vampires Dimocrats out of office, without power, in the minority, and since their party is ADMITTEDLY anti-American, and routinely undermines our national security, and leaks intell which aid and abet our enemies in a time of war, are ADMITTEDLY UNAMERICAN.
They shrink from the cross and the flag, and have sucked the lifeblood out of anything good in this country for decades.
I'm sticking with the good guys, and will support whomever wins the nomination
No way will I participate in the election of anyone who is a member of a party that betrays their country with impunity.
Tell me how unafraid you are of Hillary again?
Particularly with Giuliani (and I would argue others as well), He stands for three of those four overwhelmingly by his record, regardless of what he says he is running on.
Tell me how unafraid you are of Hillary again?
If we elect an anti-gun, pro-abortion, pro-gay Republican even once, those issues will no longer be defended by the party ever again. The next offering of candidates will be even further to the left, you can be sure of that.
Electing liberal Republicans virtually removes those issues from the Republican platform. To put up wit Hitlery is very bad, but it is over at some point. If we continue to remove planks from the Republican platform, soon there will be nothing to stand upon. That is far worse.
Clinton's husband neutered the CIA, gave missle technology to the ChiComs, raped and screwed every woman he could get a hold of and they even put water flow restrictors on toilet tanks. And worse yet, they set us up for 9/11.
If you think that we are deserving of another Clinton go around, then you need to vote third party. Go into the wilderness and leave Conservatism and politics to the adults. You are hopeless.
Adults... Hmmm... Do you mean those Republicans who failed to restore Eminent Domain? Those hardy few who tried to sell control of our ports to foreign powers? Those stalwart Conservatives who tried to uphold our principles by allowing "path to citizenship" shamnesty to illegal aliens within our borders? Those adults?
Yes I am hopeless, or so it seems. So many of us here are willing to throw out the baby in order to save the bathwater. You may keep your RINOs. I will have naught to do with them.
This is the last bit of my time I will allow you to waste on this ridiculous argument.
It's Bush's fault, it's the Republican's fault. Tear up your RNC membership and stop whining, already.
I think this country must continue forever with the Judeo-Christian morality/ethic if it is to survive as the nation founded by our forefathers. We also need a whole new republican congress.
We are in the process of losing this what we once were. If Hillary wins we will be further down that road.
My contention is that I will vote for ANY GOP nominee even if he does not have the same moral code as myself. If he does not have the same moral code my vote in reality will be an vote AGAINST Hillary rather than a vote FOR the GOP nominee.
I am terrified of Hillary enough not to waste my vote on a third party. I am terrified enough of Hillary that I would not participate in 'not voting' as a protest against the GOP nominee.
You make me PROUD son...:)
Imagine that, standing by your convictions!!!... Naaaahhhh... that's out and stupid. Vote for a queer-lover like Julie-Annie, Ha! :)
Proud to be one of the STUPID 27% :)
That, FRiend, is exactly wrong. The RINO Globalists and the Democrat Socialists have compatible agendas in many areas. To leave the RINOs in power is what will really put us further down the road.
The Republicans are the keepers of the faith, the keepers of the patriot dream. We are the only force left in the world able to defeat communism/socialism, but we do not nor can we if the RINOs are in power. It is absolutely paramount that we clean our own house whatever the cost, because without that step we are rendered toothless.
It matters not a wit what we do or don't do as long as Conservatives are the minority of the minority party. Especially so if RINOs can win by playing on your fears. All we get is a smaller minority and less significance.
It must be our highest priority to challenge RINOs across the board, including the presidency! If we do not, all that we hold dear and have fought for will amount to nothing.
And you would throw your vote away on an unprincipled moron who stands for nothing you believe in?
Since you don't believe in principles you must be driven by something... What is it? Fear?
If what we believe in is a minority of a minority party...then this whole debate is moot.
We are already lost. So why bother?
It isn't that we are a minority, but that there aren't enough Conservatives elected to Congress. Our Congressional leadership is RINO and will remain RINO until one of two things happens:
1)Enough Conservatives are elected to force a change in leadership.
2)We must lose, and lose big in an election... If that happens the party leadership generally must step down and new leadership is appointed, as the loss is taken as a vote of no confidence. Since the RINOs are in leadership, the Conservatives would take control.
Whether voting out of principle or because you are fed up with the party's direction, the intent should be to vote Conservative rather than "any ol Republican will do". If we continue to elect people who do not believe what we do, what will be the inevitable end?

Bragg organic apple cider vinegar works on dandruff
Posted by Reviewer2650940 on Jul 17, 2008
I purchased this product because I heard that it can help control dandruff. I used it on my scalp once a week. It did control the dandruff, but it smells real bad. If you do use it on your scalp be careful not to get it anywhere else. I accidentally had some of the ACV run down my face and it left it red for a while with a little burning. Overall it is a great product for my dandruff.

Lack of sufficient research space continues to hamper UAF life sciences research programs. After growing rapidly between 2000 and 2006, research funding has been flat since 2007. Since UAF researchers secure 90 percent of all UA system research grants, and many research projects are collaborations between UAF and UAA, this single project has a great financial impact on the entire state of Alaska.
Founded in 1963, the Institute of Arctic Biology advances basic and applied knowledge of high-latitude biological systems through the integration of research, student education and service to the state of Alaska and beyond. IAB supports research and graduate education in wildlife, physiology, genetics and evolutionary biology, ecology and ecosystems, biomedicine, and bioinformatics and computational biology.
UAF's future research success will be determined by the construction of this important facility.
Life Sciences = Life Saving
UAF's research success depends on immediate funding for the Life Sciences Facility.
Alaskans are front-line recipients of assaults from environmental agents causing disease. The health impacts of global climate change stem in part from the spread of infectious agents including new and emerging diseases, mobilization of contaminants, and shifting availability and quality of subsistence foods. Alaska is subject to extreme seasonality, which can be challenging to humans and animals alike. Nowhere else is the concept of "One Health" more relevant than Alaska, where the health of people, animals and the environment are inextricably linked.
UAF life sciences research includes studies on environmental agents and diseases, with a focus on diseases of public health importance to the state, such as the avian influenza virus and diabetes.
UAF life science research includes neuroscience studies that are important to Alaskans, such as understanding and preventing sudden infant death syndrome and protecting against brain injury following heart attack or stroke.
UAF life science research includes ecological and wildlife research in areas such as understanding climate change effects on Alaska and other northern ecosystems, and the occurrence and risk of contaminants in wildlife and in subsistence foods.
Additionally, the co-location of research with the teaching component of life sciences allows for better collaboration between the two areas.
UAF life science research is real and relevant to the people and the state of Alaska.
The proposed Life Sciences Facility is the final structure of a trio of interconnected buildings on the UAF campus to house and support the university's developing programs in life science research, specifically the study of disease-causing agents.
The Biological Research and Diagnostic (BiRD) building, completed in early 2007, provides the animal research support infrastructure to work with animal models of human disease.
The new state virology laboratory, is a key part of this effort. Connectivity to both BiRD and the new life sciences facility is integral to the new collaborative research effort between the state and the university in areas such as state health and environmental safety.
This trio of buildings is an example of what can be done when the university and the state work together. Fostering and promoting an integrated working relationship between the university's life sciences program and the state's public health laboratories will significantly benefit human health in Alaska.
"Life" Partners
Since 2001 IAB has shown more growth in research expenditures than any other research unit in the UA system.
Life sciences research at UAF is conducted in partnership with many local, state and national agencies, which have included the following over the years:
- Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation
- Alaska Department of Fish and Game
- Alaska Department of Health and Social Services
- BP Alaska
- Bureau of Indian Affairs
- Bureau of Land Management
- Kenai Borough
- National Institutes of Health
- National Park Service
- National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
- National Science Foundation
- North Slope Borough
- U.S. Geological Survey
- U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
- U.S. Department of Agriculture
- U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
Life Sciences Research Expenditures
Since 2001 IAB has shown more growth in research expenditures than any other research unit in the UA system.

Legal maneuver seen as bid tap his kids' trust fund, shield assets from family of student he killed in drunken crash.
A Florida appeals court has nullified a polo mogul's adoption of his 42-year-old girlfriend in an apparent bid to tap his children's trust fund and shield his assets from the family of a student he killed in a drunken crash.
The 3rd District Court of Appeal ruled Wednesday that John Bailey Goodman, founder of the International Polo Club in Palm Beach, had not notified his two children, their mother, their guardian or the parents of 23-year-old Scott Wilson, who had sued him for wrongful death over the February 2010 crash and were seeking damages.
Goodman's attempt to conceal the adoption "constituted a fraud on the court," the appellate judges wrote in a nine-page opinion.
He adopted his longtime paramour, 42-year-old Heather Anne Hutchins, while awaiting trial for the death of Wilson. A Miami-Dade County trial court approved the adoption in October 2011.
Besides the Wilsons' lawsuit. Goodman, a multimillionaire, was involved in a court battle with his ex-wife over management of the children's trust fund. His attorneys claimed he adopted Hutchins so she could help manage the the children's money.
Under the adoption contract, Goodman agreed to pay Hutchins a lifetime total of $16.75 million, according to court records cited by The Miami Herald. Her payout included $5 million to sign, $3 million by the end of 2012 and lifetime payments of $8.75 million.
"Even if the motivation and the means for securing it were not so reprehensible, I believe ... the adoption of a paramour is so contrary to the beneficent purposes of such an action that no such judgment can ever be sustained," Senior Judge Alan Schwartz wrote in a special concurrence.
In March 2012, Goodman was convicted of DUI manslaughter with failure to render aid and vehicular homicide. He was sentenced 16 years in prison.

Goodman has appealed and is under house arrest after posting a $7 million bond, The Palm Beach Post says.
He and his insurance company eventually settled the Wilsons' lawsuit for $40 million.

December Guest Designer….
December 18, 2012 by Ellen
Filed under Core Blog, Provocraft, Tim Holtz
Leeann Pearce!
We are so excited to have Leeann designing with us for the next few months. AND…HAVE YOU HEARD???
Leeann just earned the amazing title of Scrapbook Master from Scrapbooking Memories! And we have her all to ourselves today.
PLEASE check out her blog here for more gorgeous creations.
Here is a little bit about these cards from Leeann:
Hello… My name is Leeann Pearce and I live in a small country town called Capel in Western Australia with my darling husband Quentin and 3 gorgeous girls, Holly, Storm and Jorja. I have been scrapping for nine years and I love it! It has taken me on this amazing creative journey that makes me strive for. I have a massive love for all crafting products and I love playing with all the new stuff. But I also like to mix it up with the older stuff as well. Because it's all still so cool to me. I scrap for a lot of reasons not just to record. I love the creative outlet it gives me – the freedom to create!
I really Love my core cardstock. There is so much you can do with it. Today I want to share two cards I made using Tim holtz kraft-core from the nostalgic collection. I simply trimmed my Kraft core to size and using a Christmas number embossing folder and ran this through my Cuttlebug, lightly sand the top, revealing the Kraft colour. It certainly makes the cardstock pop and adds great texture at the same time. Then I simply finished each card of with a sentiment and buttons and some hand folded leaves.
If you were at our Hard Core Crop you saw these gorgeous leaves!
Here's an extra for you – if you would like to know how to make these leaves follow these directions.
Special Note: I am NOT the original creator of these leaves…
Here is a close up. I tried this myself and LOVE it! SO much fun especially with Core.
MATERIALS: Tim Holtz Kraft-core nostalgic collection, Core cardstock neutrals, Core Sand It Gadget, Cuttlebug and numbers embossing folder, epiphany crafts star 25 tool and star 25 bubble cap, Webster's Pagessentiment royal Christmas sticker tags, basic grey buttons, Prima pearls, machine stitching.

I kinda missed that about Jive as well.
Would like those back as well too. Don't know if it's too much to wish for everything to be back to the way it was on the last go around with Lithium but it was pretty much a fine model then and they should just be building on that.

Rush Road Warriors Win 5th Straight at Toronto
by Justin Millerson | NLL.com
TORONTO -- The Edmonton Rush (8-5) earned a weekend sweep and their fifth-straight victory to move atop the West Division with a 17-12 road win over the East Division-leading Toronto Rock (8-4) before a crowd of 9,947 at Air Canada Centre on Sunday afternoon.
Edmonton rookie Mark Matthews opened the scoring 4:20 into the game and the Rush did not look back as they led the rest of the way.
"We were not prepared," said Rock head coach Troy Cordingley. "That's a very solid team and I'm not sure if it was us not respecting them, but they dominated us for 60 minutes."
In a shaky first quarter, Toronto found themselves trailing 6-2 after the first 15 minutes of the game. The bleeding continued into the second frame as Edmonton forwards Brett Mydske, Zack Greer and Jeremy Thompson each scored in a span of 5:25 en route to a commanding 9-2 advantage for the Rush.
Despite the deficit, the Rock did manage find a little life in the latter minutes of the first half. In a span of 6:13, Kasey Beirnes, Colin Doyle and Garrett Billings each scored during a three-goal run to cut the lead to four goals heading into halftime.
Edmonton, however, would pull away in the second half by outscoring the Rock by a score of 11-7 over the final two quarters.
From the first whistle to last, the Rock were dominated on both ends of the floor. The Rush got off a staggering 63 shots and created a number of fast break opportunities. Meanwhile, Toronto had a hard time finding space in Edmonton's defense and finished with only 41 shots.
"We've got some work to do, let that be a lesson learned," said Rock captain Colin Doyle. "[Thankfully] that wasn't the last game of the year."
In a game with many lows, the lone bright spot for Toronto was their continued proficiency on the power play. The Rock went 4-for-6 with the man advantage and continued a three-game streak with a power play percentage of 50% or higher.
For Edmonton, after starting their season with a 1-4 record, the win marked their seventh in their last eight games and their fifth straight on the road.
"We've got to figure out how to do this at home," said Rush general manager and head coach Derek Keenan. "We knew what we were in for coming in here. It's a hard place to play in, it's a hard place to win in and they are a very good team...hopefully we can keep this going."
Matthews scored three times in the victory and is now tied with John Grant, Jr. for the league lead with 35 goals this season. In total, Matthews has recorded 59 points (35g, 24a) through 13 games to lead all rookie scorers.
"Our offense is very potent," Matthews said. "Last night against Buffalo, they key on me and it leaves [other guys] open. Tonight, I got two [goals] because of the lanes my teammates create."
Rock goalie Nick Rose struggled to find the ball early and was pulled 4:07 into the second quarter after a tally from Greer. Rose never returned, marking the first time he did not finish a game in net this season. In 16:37, Rose allowed eight goals on 25 shots for a lackluster .680 save percentage.
Toronto's backup goalie Zack Boychuk, who came on in relief of Rose, saw action for the just the second time in 12 games this year. Boychuk was solid in his 43:22 of play, as the 24-year-old from St. Catharines, Ontario stopped 23 of 31 shots for a clean .742 save percentage.
At the other end of the floor, Edmonton goalie Aaron Bold continued his fine play this year by making 29 saves on 41 shots.
Matthews (3g, 1a), Corey Small (2g, 2a) and Kyle Rubisch (2g, 2a) each collected a team-high four points for the Rush on the afternoon. Toronto's Billings (3g, 5a) recorded a game-high eight points in the loss while Doyle (3g, 3a) followed up with six points.
The Rock will look to rebound next weekend on Friday, March 29 when they host the Buffalo Bandits at Air Canada Centre while the Rush will return to Rexall Place for the first time since February 22 when they host the Colorado Mammoth on Saturday, April 6.

Best Practices: Managing Video as a Data Asset
Video is everywhere. It's prominently featured on virtually every site you hit these days, and it's becoming just as commonplace within the enterprise. Clips that once required expensive equipment, complex software and specialized training to produce can now be put together by anyone with a smartphone or webcam. While generating video is easier than ever, what hasn't changed is the strain this data type can put on IT. Files are gargantuan compared with legacy forms of communication, like email and Word documents, and the content is about as unstructured as it gets—you can't just scan video through a text editor or search engine to find relevant clips. And yet, video is too pervasive and valuable to be ghettoized in departmental silos. A marketing pro's webcast describing new product features could be useful training collateral, while surveillance video may be needed in litigation. But if each department keeps files on its own systems, they're useless to the rest of the enterprise.
Turning video into a searchable asset requires IT effort on a couple of fronts: the storage infrastructure to handle large and growing video archives and the enterprise content management platforms that currently organize document-based unstructured content.
In this report, we'll outline the centralized storage architectures best suited for video content and the best ways to integrate video into existing ECM systems, notably SharePoint. We'll also look at some other video-centric applications IT's constituents may be using to manage this data and how they can be rolled onto a central storage platform. Finally, we'll lay out a plan of attack for developing a video management strategy that will turn rich media into an enterprise information asset. (R5150612)

A Wish Come True
Due to a production error in Friday's print edition, this story is being rerun in its entirety.
A young Warren man was surprised Wednesday evening during the half-time of Edinboro University'a regular season basketball finale.
Austin Hawk, 16, who lost a leg to osteosarcoma (bone cancer) was led out to mid-court by members of Edinboro's Student Athlete Committee where he joined Edinboro President Dr. Julie Wollman, Director of Athletics Bruce Baumgartner and Jan Stork, the senior director of Make-A-Wish for Greater Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
Gifts borne by the school's student athletes were then presented to Hawk, including leashes, dog bowls, dog treats, training books, a dog bed, toys and a traveling crate. He also received items from his favorite football team, the Green Bay Packers, a certificate for one year's veterinary care from the Kinzua Vet Clinic and a $500 gift card for Pet Smart.
That came to a crescendo with the song "Who Let the Dogs Out," and Edinboro's swim team members bringing out "Layla," a pit bull puppy, to fulfill Hawk's wish.
During an on-camera interview with WJET-TV 24, Hawk said, "I was not expecting her for a while, so I'm just kind of shocked right now."
His mother Tami said, "I wanted to tell him every day."
Over $3,000 was raised during the night from Make-A-Wish sales and donations, to add to the $9,424 already raised by the school's athletic department and other campus entities. The school was listed as one of the top five Division II schools to receive NCAA recognition before the additional fund-raising Wednesday.
Stork presented the school with a plaque from the NCAA commemorating Edinboro's commitment to Make-A-Wish in 2012 and 2013.
