Skip to comments."Law & Order" Abortion Episode Outrages Pro-Abortion Groups
Posted on 10/26/2009 4:02:37 PM PDT by wagglebee
WASHINGTON, DC, October 26, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) -- Last Friday's episode of Law & Order on NBC, entitled "Dignity," has infuriated pro-abortionists while pleasantly surprising pro-lifers with an unexpectedly even-handed treatment of the issue of abortion.
Ripping its plot from recent headlines, "Dignity" begins with the murder of late-term abortionist Dr. Walter Benning (Matthew Boston) during a church service. Although the episode has a disclaimer stating that the story is fictional, its initial outline closely matches the case of the late-term abortionist Dr. George Tiller, who was shot and killed in a church in Wichita, Kansas, on May 31st.
After the murderer, Wayne Grogan is captured and confesses to the crime, while his defense attorney, Roger Jenkins (Richard Thomas), argues that the killing was justified because Grogan was acting in defense of someone else - namely, an unborn infant whom Benning was going to abort.
In the end Grogan is found guilty of the murder; but over the course of the episode a host of the arguments and issues surrounding abortion are covered in a manner unusually sympathetic to the pro-life cause.
As Dave Andrusko writes on the NRLC's website: "What makes the Law & Order episode so riveting is that virtually every pro-life argument you knew you would never hear on a network program is a part of 'Dignity.'"
"More important, it occurred to me as I listened in utter astonishment that each of these observations could have been presented in a way that was artificial, forced, or (as so often is the case with network portraits of pro-lifers) something that you would expect from an idiot. None of that was the case. These were real flesh-and-blood people, not caricatures."
Early in the episode, for instance, Detectives Lupo and Bernard argue with each other over abortion. Lupo says that forcing an 11-year old rape victim to give birth is unthinkable, to which Bernard responds: "You got it backwards, man! The horrible thing is the rape! Not the bringing of a life into the world."
He continues by pointing out that he himself was born to an unwed mother, and that Lupo very nearly had another partner.
Similarly, when Executive Assistant District Attorney, Michael Cutter argues with District Attorney Jack McCoy about whether they should give Grogan a plea bargain, Cutter compares abortion to slavery and Grogan to John Brown. He continues by arguing that Roe v. Wade conformed but to the science of its day, and that it deserves another look.
When witnesses begin to take the stand, however, the contrast between the pro-abortion and pro-life position only grows.
One abortionist, called as witness for the prosecution, says that the life of the disabled child Benning was going to abort would be without dignity. He continues to say that even if politicians make abortion illegal and "bow to the hypocrites and fools" of the pro-life movement, he would continue to perform abortions despite the law.
Perhaps the most surprising issue the episode raised is the connection of abortion with infanticide. Over the course of the case, the defense, desiring to show that Benning was a murderer, calls a witness to testify how a breathing, born-alive infant was killed by Dr. Benning.
"The boy was crying a little cry, moving his arms and legs," she says. "Dr. Benning cut the umbilical cord; then he took the surgical scissors and inserted it into the base of the baby's skull."
Several similarly gruesome, real-life cases of infanticide involving abortionists have occurred in recent years. In one case that drives close to home, an abortionist working for George Tiller, Shelley Sella, was accused of stabbing a born-alive infant in the ribcage until the baby died. In addition, former nurse turned pro-life activist Jill Stanek has also related that while working at a hospital in Illinois, numerous babies born alive after failed abortions were simply left to die in the "soiled utility room."
Pro-abortion groups have responded to the Law & Order episode with outrage that the show would feature an abortionist modeled on Dr. Tiller in a less than beatific light.
Charlotte Taft writes that "NBC cannot hide behind the words" by stating that the story is fictitious. For the media to make a negative story so blatantly ripped off the death of "St. George," as she dubs Tiller, is to murder him again. "There is no balance here," she says.
Kate Harding complained on Salon.com that the episode features only two groups: "Anti-choicers, who believe fetuses' rights trump women's, and the pseudo-pro-choicers, who are conveniently persuaded to agree with them by the end of the episode."
"Dignity" may be watched on iTunes.

You can add "and lazy, crippled, blind and crazy" to that (from a spiritual standpoint, that is).
In addition, former nurse turned pro-life activist Jill Stanek has also related that while working at a hospital in Illinois, numerous babies born alive after failed abortions were simply left to die in the "soiled utility room."
The hospital in question was a subsidiary of the church that Barack Obama belonged to in Chicago, where Rev. Wright was pastor. Just the right sort of church for Obama.
One of the characters made some eloquent arguments against abortion, and another character actually moved from a pro-abortion position to a seemingly pro-life position. Overall, it was shocking to see such deference giving to the pro-life movement, especially on NBC and on "Law & Order", in particular.
Imagine, ONE pro-life episode has such an impact, when they have been regurgitating their pro-infanticide propaganda on TV shows and the media, for how many years now???
I actually saw the episode and was fairly pleased with it.
Jill Stanek was warning the pro-life movement about Zero before most Americans knew who he was.
I was surprisingly pleased. I didn't agree with everything, but it was far better than I ever thought it would be.
Have not seen an episode since they did an Iraq War rant that had absolutely nothing to do with the storyline.
Interesting, but I haven't watched "Law And Odor" in years.
"Kate Harding complained on Salon.com that the episode features only two groups: 'Anti-choicers, who believe fetuses' rights trump women's, and the pseudo-pro-choicers, who are conveniently persuaded to agree with them by the end of the episode."
I know I'm mostly preaching to the choir here at FR, but a couple talking points in response to this:
1. There is no right to kill another living human being without cause, either in the Constitution or the moral law.
2. The "fetus" does not trump the woman's rights: both have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit to happiness. If anything, the woman's own responsibility to maintain her child's right to such is what trumps any of her alleged claims that a baby would interfere too much with her life.
3. It's telling that Ms. Harding thinks only "pseudo-pro-choicers" could possibly be persuaded by pro-life arguments. Perhaps we have a political variant of Calvinism here: once depraved, always depraved. (Actually, come to think of it, that's part of Calvinism too!)
Rats and other vermin scurry away from the light, which in this case is the truth!
Ultimately, that's all we can ask for - a fair portrayal and airing of both positions. I'd be happy with that, for no other reason because I think the pro-life message is a more compelling one and more likely to be persuasive, which is exactly why the radical pro-abortionists are so displeased with this episode.
That scene where the nurse testified about the baby that survived the abortion was incredibly powerful - a real tearjerker.
The second chair prosecutor finally refused orders to violate ethics rules and reported the crime to the police authorities, court and defense council, a major exposure of the infiltration of the legal system by the culture of death.
Haven't you gotten the directive? Thinking is most definitely not part of the pro abortion or even the normal liberal agenda.
I am very encouraged to hear about this. Thanks for posting some good news. I hope some who needed to hear "our side" got to hear it.
Calvinism does not teach "once depraved, always depraved." It is "once saved, always saved," in other words, you can't lose your salvation.
If it was "once depraved, always depraved" no one could be saved.
Good grief, it's a joke. Surely there's something in the Institutes about having a sense of humor.
But anyway, you're wrong: Calvinism teaches that there is no moment of salvation, only a previous moment of predestination, so anyone not among the elect really is "always depraved."
They sound rather like old time NAZIs and Communists.
The feminazi crowd has been able to dictate what's on TV and in the movies for too long. Now that a TV program won't bow down and obey them, the feminazis itch and moan like a bundh of spoiled brats.
I didn't mean to seem to take it seriously. It didn't bother me.
At last, an episode that made both sides of a controversial argument "think" rather than a platform (ala James Spader on Boston Legal) for reading a propaganda speech (now THAT'S acting).
I recorded it because I wasn't sure I'd be able to watch it - anticipating usual pro-abortion hollywood views. I was blown away.
When they had the episode suing George Bush, I thought perhaps I should stop watching. It was a pleasant surprise.
Those involved in an abortion, whether by having one or supporting someone's having one, cannot allow themselves to think about what they really did. Thus they remain completely rigid in their "pro-choice" attitude. Allowing the tiniest crack in their pro-abortion armor could lead to incredible regret and guilt.
Monday night - CSI: Miami story about an e-coli and botulism outbreak caused by genetically altered food grown on a farm run by a greedy Big Farmer CEO.
Friday night - Numb3rs story about human cloning done by a sociopathic scientist who works for a big pharmaceutical company, and the head of security who do anything to protect the company's investment.
Catholics still voted for him...wonder if they are sorry now.
The Devil uses that to keep people bound....I know, for I was rabidly liberal and pro-choice at one time, until I read these words...
"Abortion is the work of the Devil." --Mother Teresa
It is. It started with a lie, and it kills and destroys, not just the baby, but eventually the one who had the abortion, too. Kills them from within, until there is nothing left.
The answer for me and my post-abortion traumas was Jesus Christ, first, last and always.
She also said "the fruit of abortion is nuclear war." I can't conceive how liberals are always talking about getting one's karma (remember, I used to be a "feminazi liberal") yet don't consider for one second what the karma will be for aborting innocent people for 30+ years. We are truly bringing sin down upon all our heads.
They're not sick, they're evil. They know of what they do.
Amen....I wish that others would get that concept.
Ain't no fix for evil!

By ED WALKER
Published March 31, 2007
Right now is a great time to be a Nature Coast saltwater sportsman. The opportunity to catch a variety of fish seldom gets any better.
On the flats, redfish have been on a remarkable tear. Some of the schools are bigger than many guides have seen in the past several years. Different groups of reds have been found in spots from Holiday to Homosassa. The size of the fish in these schools has ranged from 12 inches to 12 pounds, which is somewhat unusual. Normally the larger reds prefer to swim with fish closer to their own size. The abundance of the little ones is a sign that there may be good fishing for the next few years.
Scaled sardines have been easy to catch, and the reds have gobbled them up. In some areas live chumming has worked the fish into a frenzy, but on others spots it can be counter-productive. The reason? Bird trouble.
Terns, many of which have become conditioned to looking for food where they see anglers, can be a problem. In some heavily fished places, the birds hover overhead before the baitwell is open. When this occurs, throwing handfuls of crippled minnows only makes it worse. Birds crashing into the water on top of the spot you are trying fish can spook the fish. We usually fish without chumming first and only toss out the freebies if necessary.
Big speckled trout have been mixed in with the reds in some spots. Over the past week, we have caught and released specks up to 5 pounds with regularity. Because these bigger fish are full of eggs during this time of year we usually release them.
Snook fishing has also been good as long as you continue look for "fresh" spots. The well-known snook hangouts have come under heavy pressure recently, and the fish in these places have stopped biting. It is not uncommon to set up on a spot with 40 snook sitting in a hole and drift prime live baits through it with zero response. By watching where the other boats are fishing regularly, you can maintain a mental list of where not to fish. Being the sixth boat on a snook hole will do you no good. If you can find the snook that have not been discovered yet, you can expect to get strikes right away.
In the gulf, there are lots of fun things happening. The big Spanish mackerel have moved in, kingfish are beginning to show up, gag grouper fishing has improved, sharks are following the bait pods, and divers are finding plenty of tasty hogfish.
The better kingfish catches occur when the main body of the school is found. This loose school of small kings is huge but can move several miles overnight. Recently the primary mass was found near the Tarpon Springs reef, but it has now shifted somewhere else. One of the best indicators of the presence of the kings is skyrocketing fish. Odds are, if you see a king launch out of the water, the big school is probably nearby. If you see more than one, you are definitely in the right place.
Because the school-sized kings run between 9 and 16 pounds, light spinning tackle can be used for maximum fun. A short section of wire and a live sardine is all you need once you find the fish.

Opportunities to Get Involved: Round Two
Last week, I wrote a post about Opportunities to Get Involved with the promise of additional blog posts highlighting more ways in which you could get involved in the Young Professional community we have here in Rochester. Without further ado, here we go!
Lollypop Farm has recently begun a Young Professionals group and is looking to recruit individuals for general membership, as well as anyone who may be interested in joining their Advisory Board. This group is looking to plan volunteer activities and events benefiting Lollypop Farm, such as fundraisers, social events, educational events about animal welfare, and more — if it sounds like the right fit for you, send a message to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Habitat Young Professionals, which raises awareness and funds to sponsor home building and neighborhood revitalization in the City of Rochester, is always open to new members and would love to hear from individuals who are looking to take on leadership roles. You can contact Tiffany Paine-Cirrincione for more information at: email@example.com.
If none of the groups that have been highlighted in these two blog posts seem to meet your interests, you might consider subscribing to Rochester Young Professional's weekly email to learn about other opportunities to network, learn, and get involved. Check it out here.
You can also find opportunities via RocCity Coalition, a collaboration that brings many of the Young Professional groups in Rochester together, at their website and facebook page.
The 'YP scene' in Rochester is constantly evolving, creating endless chances for new faces to join groups, take leadership roles, and have the ability to make an impact in our community. Don't let the sheer number of groups stop you from finding the right opportunity for you.

I have just purchased a Taylor 314CE, with the embedded Taylor Expression System.
Although the natural sound of the guitar is absolutely wonderful, I cannot say the same about the plugged sound.
I don't want to have it cut, neither install a totally new pickup/mike system. I was thinking about an outboard unit to improve my sound.
What do you suggest to improve the plugged sound of my guitar? Taking a condenser to stage is not an option for the places I play.

Ex-Goldman economist lands SWF role
The former chief economist for Asia Pacific at Goldman Sachs has joined Singapore's $160bn sovereign wealth fund, Financial News can reveal.
Michael Buchanan has joined Temasek as a managing director and economist, according to a spokesman for the fund. A spokeswoman for Goldman Sachs confirmed his departure.
Buchanan is the latest in a long line staff at investment banks to make the move to Singapore's state investment arm. Earlier this year, Boon Sim, the former global head of mergers and acquisitions at Credit Suisse, joined as president for North America and co-head of Americas, Europe and the credit portfolio.
John Cryan, a former chief financial officer at UBS, Greg Curl, former chief risk officer at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, and Tan Chong Lee, a former co-head of investment banking for South East Asia at Goldman Sachs, all now work at Temasek.
Buchanan lectured at Jesus College Oxford for two years in the early nineties and later joined the International Monetary Fund, where he focused on Russia, Pakistan and bond restructurings. He joined Goldman Sachs in 2000, spending time in London as co-director of global macro and markets research.
He later moved to Asia, becoming chief economist for the region, and has spoken regularly at events held by the World Economic Forum and the Asean Leadership Forum. He told Bloomberg TV in October that China's third-quarter economic growth indicated "a very strong sequential growth picture".
On being asked about the rebalancing of the Chinese economy, he added: "The fundamental picture for strong consumption growth still looks intact. There will be shift away from the reliance on some components of the investment spending we've seen since the policy stimulus got under way in 2009.
"Overall, the domestic demand strength in China is here to stay, so that should help with China and the world's rebalancing. "
Early in the year, it was reported that Goldman Sachs had sold a stake in Chinese bank Industrial & Commercial Bank of China to Temasek in a deal valued at around $2.3bn.
Temasek was established in 1974 and has close to $160bn in firepower, according to the SWF Institute.

Here's how RW members rated this race (311 votes).
In short: Not much in the way of spectator support but plenty of support from the racersIn full: Not my best race in terms of time or motivation but nothing to do with the organisation, scenery or anything other than a slightly tired me! Great day out - will be back .....Date of review: March 26, 2007
In short: Lovely West Surrey Countryside RaceIn full: Well worth getting up early for (especially with the clock change : the start time was effectively 8am!). Quiet setting, virtually no traffic, marshalls really lovely and water stations well managed. I had a terrible race (it was one of those days) but will definitely go back next year! Thank you to all.Date of review: March 26, 2007
In short: The Ideal Pre-London eventIn full: If only all races were like this, low key, value for money, friendly and well organised.Minor quibble is that it is advertised as Flat which it is not. It is Gently undulating with a nasty little hill near the end, particurly hard if doing the 21 mile event, therefore you have to run up it twice.Date of review: March 26, 2007
In short: Excellent pre marathon training runDate of review: March 26, 2007
In short: Pretty course, friendly and well organised.Date of review: March 26, 2007
In short: Perfect chilled out marathon preparation In full: Low key, local and friendly race. Thanks soooooo much to the guy who found my car key that I dropped during the race, it was very kind of you to take the effort to hand it in! Much appreciated!Date of review: March 26, 2007
In short: Lovely race ,scenic, low key & great valueIn full: This was a lovely low key race and the organisation and marshalling was excellent. Unfortunately the finish line let things down a bit for me. I could not see that it was set up around a corner and it was only when spectators could see my confusion and alerted me where to go that I realised where to run, lost some time, but such is life. If anything could be improved for next year it should be the finishing aspects, it needs to be visible to an oncoming runner and clearly marked for 15 or 21. The tea and cakes on offer at the end was sweet,loved the chocolate brownies! Will be recommending the race to others.Date of review: March 26, 2007
In short: Challenging & enjoyable, thank you. But beware if you're the sort that needs crowds cheering you on as most of it is without support due to the nature of the course. Date of review: March 26, 2007
In short: Great RaceIn full: Well done to the organisers! Great course, friendly marshals and good atmosphere. I feel more confident for the FLM now - thank you.(Plus it's in my home town)Date of review: March 26, 2007

Win a Set of Two Inspiring Books in Our Presidents' Day Contest!
These days, it may seem like no one can stop gushing about their Valentine's Day plans, but for those of us whose brains haven't melted to love-mush, we are launching a contest to celebrate February's real holiday: Presidents' Day.
We're giving away a pair of inspirational books written by two leaders who know about making an impact on the world: PETA President Ingrid Newkirk's One Can Make a Difference: How Simple Actions Can Change the World and the Dalai Lama's Becoming Enlightened. Both offer moving stories and guidance for making the small changes in your life that can make a big change in the world. And because most of us will enjoy a day off on Presidents' Day (another reason why the holiday may be superior to Valentine's Day), what better time is there to settle down for a good, inspiring read and get some tips on taking action to help animals in need?
To enter, leave a comment here and let us know how you plan to create change for animals this year. The contest ends on February 23, 2009, and the most inspiring comment will win. We'll contact the winner on February 24, 2009. Make sure to read our privacy policy and terms and conditions, as you're agreeing to both by commenting.
So what are you waiting for?

I plan to create change for animals this year by educating others on the importance of animal rights.
I plan to create a change for animals this year by possibly adopting a stray cat and giving it a home. I respect animals so much and will continue to respect them and try my hardest not to run them over like other drivers do. That always makes me so upset. This is a great giveaway. Thanks.
I feed stray cats in the neighborhood.
I am going to do more to help the rescue agency we adopted our dog from.
We adopted a cat from the local shelter.
We just adopted two kittens from the local humane society so we are doing our part in giving a loving and caring home to these two brothers who have captured our hearts!
I wish people would realise that animals do have souls. They are as unique and important as humans. We need to be better to them if we are to survive
Try to help stray cats in neighborhood.
I am going to be extra nice to my cat.
I am going to devote time to getting animals at shelters adopted. I am volunteering for educational and fundraising activities for animal rights. I am putting info out about cruelty to animals by KFC and other food processors.
by donating to my local shelter
I am educating my children via sites like peta kids so they can pass the word to their friends and hopefully their compassion will spread to others.
33 yrs ago I was in my last year of college and there was a book that I read called ' survival into the 21st century'… overnight I went from being a meat eater to a vegan and have never looked back. I lived in New York City at the time and there was one restaurant that I could eat at in the whole city. My parents had never even heard of this weird diet that I was on. My mother told me that I was going to get sick and my father told me that I couldn't live without animal protein and be healthy. I told them and everyone else that I never wanted to eat an animal again or its babies etc At the beginning of this journey there were no vegetarians no vegans no nothing. I was the only vegan i knew. I don't know if my story is the 'most inspiring' but it certainly is amazing. I have done over 10 marathons and countless triathlons including the Hawaii Ironman numerous times in my 40's and 50's … Still even 32 yrs later i am a rarity in the field of endurance sports but more and more people are becoming vegans either through compassion for animals or for health reasons. The people who become vegans for the ethical treatment of animals are a blessed group of people that understand the nature of cruelty suffering and realize that animals feel pain and that eating an animal is barbaric. TruelyI believe that it is. Two years ago The Dalai Lama came to Maui to give a seminar. I got to shake his hand and i never wanted to wash my hand again. I wanted to keep something of his around me for the rest of my life. I believe that he is an enlightened soul not perfect but enlightened. I believe that he is here to help raise the planetary vibration by helping others to awaken their compassion. compassion is the key . In some ways it's the highest form of love. Thank you peta for all your hard work. i have joined in on demonstrations with your organization in new york and felt very blessed to be with likeminded people. It was a very lonely road in the beginning over 30 yrs ago trying to explain to people that it was cruel to eat animals. now its acceptable and even hip. cool. lets keep it going. I wish every cow chicken and all farm animals were free to live their lives to their fullest potential the same way that i have been. we will never end war until we treat animals with the dignity and respect that they deserve. here's to a new day. i am happy that i was there in the beginning. peace and aloha Lotus
I would love to make a difference but don't know how. Iam awful at socializing and could not begin to think of how to start
I plan to be more of an animal advocate!
I intend to take steps forward in my personal diet choices. I was vegan for over 5 years and have admittedly gone away from this and hope to make changes to this once again!
I don't buy clothing or accessories made from animals.
Cool prize.
I will not eat anything with a face!
I and my three kids are vegans but my husband is still a carnivore. He is one of those weird carnivores too because he won't eat fish because he thinks that it is cruel but he'll eat all other forms of meat ??????. Clearly I am going to have to approach the whole issue from the opposite direction from how it is usually done but I feel confident that where there is a will there is a way. Alicia Webster 5webscomcast.net
As soon as I am cleared by the Workman's comp board I will be back to the PSPCA volunteering.
Oh these books sound so wonderful! THanks for the contest.
I would adopt all homeless animals if I could but I have a pet that we love and cherish. Although I can't do a lot for the shelters I do make sure my backyard animals have food water and fun surprises year around.
help a dog
I can create change by raising awareness. I often adopt the motto of "live nad let live" and I do not say anything when I see things that are wrong. I've always thought that it is best to clean your own house so to speak first.
This year I am telling everyone I know about puppy mills and all the other atrocities concerning animals and medical experimentation. In the country where I live the Humane Society recently bought a puppy mill and is giving up the poor puppies for adoption. People who would never be cruel to other people don't think twice about being cruel to animals or don't think it matters if other people are! I just finished reading Irene Pepperberg's Alex And Me and within it she PROVES that we are not the only ones who can communicate or have higher brain function!

Man Dressed As Joker Charged With Trespassing At Applebee's
BUSTI – A Jamestown man dressed as the Joker from the Batman films has been charged following a bizarre incident Sunday at a Lakewood restaurant.
The Lakewood-Busti Police Department in a news release said Aaron A. Chase, 24, walked into the Applebee's Restaurant on Fairmount Avenue around 10:45 p.m. Police said Chase was dressed in all black, wearing a green wig and paint on his face similar to the Joker in Batman.
Police said Chase, who sat at the bar and wanted to be served, was intoxicated and had no money. The subject allegedly acted strange and began harassing people at the bar. Chase was asked to leave several times but refused to do so.
Chase was charged with trespassing and was issued an appearance ticket. He was transported to WCA Hospital for a mental health evaluation.
Police did not take the late-night incident lightly.
"We take any call of this nature very seriously, especially in a situation where a person dresses up in this manner and enters a restaurant or business," said Sgt. Paul Gustafson, investigator for Lakewood-Busti Police Department. "With the recent events in the country you have to take these situations seriously."
The incident was the second in a 24-hour span that led to charges being lodged against Chase. The Jamestown resident on Saturday was cited for unlawful possession of marijuana. He was issued an appearance ticket and was due later in Busti Court to answer the charge.

Supplement Savvy - Page 2
Greens Powder
How it helps: Greens are brimming with vitamins and cell-protecting antioxidants that runners need to sustain training and recovery. Further, greens help restore a healthy pH balance in the body, thereby improving bone health. Problem is, most people aren't eating nearly enough of the dark greens available in the produce department such as kale, Swiss chard and collards.
When to supplement: Supplementing greens is a convenient and reliable way to help get your required daily intake of green vegetables and then some. The main players in green powders are typically nutrient-dense cereal grasses including alfalfa, oat, barley and wheat along with algae such as spirulina and chlorella—aquatic living organisms found on the surface of lakes and seas. Greens powders are easily mixed into water, juice or post-workout shakes. Concentrated green powder capsules are also available.
How to take it: A healthy daily dose is anything from one to six grams of greens per day. Select a powder brand that is at least 50-percent greens. As for store-bought green juices, watch out for those that are mostly apple or other nutritionally inferior juices with just a speck of greens. Read the ingredient list to make sure greens are one of the first few items listed as some "green" drinks on the market actually have as much sugar as soda.

Eat it: You can grow your own grasses for juicing, but we don't suggest skimming the top of any lakes for green stuff.
Protein Powder
How it helps: Protein aids in muscle recovery, boosts strength gains in response to training, helps you maintain a healthy immune function and replaces the protein burned up for energy production during exercise.
When to supplement: While it's easy to get all the protein you need to support daily training from whole foods such as poultry, fish, yogurt and beans, protein powders offer a convenient, dependable and portable source of protein when you need it most: post-workout. Isolated proteins, like whey, are digested faster than the protein in foods such as beef and chicken, so gulping a protein shake after a hard run can hasten muscle recovery.
How to take it: Whey protein contains an arsenal of muscle-friendly branched-chain amino acids like leucine (L) for example. Look for brands with whey protein isolate as the first ingredient—this is the purest form of whey available and contains very little, if any, fat or lactose. Hemp protein is a good non-dairy protein powder. It is one of the highest-quality plant proteins available and is free of allergens. Look for unflavored protein powders to avoid added sugars or artificial sweeteners. In most cases, a 20-gram protein serving is plenty. Pay attention to labels, as suggested serving sizes often contain more.
We like: Hammer Heed Whey Protein Powder (www.hammernutrition.com) or Manitoba Harvest Hemp Pro 70 (www.mantiobaharvest.com)
Eat it: Dietary sources of whey protein include ricotta cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese and milk. You can find hemp protein in hemp seeds, which add a nutty flavor to yogurt, cereal and smoothies.
The Buck Stops Here - Don't let these supplements drain your pocketbook.
By helping deliver oxygen to muscles, adequate iron levels are a must if you want to perform your best. However, too much iron can damage organs. Pre-menopausal women who lose iron in their blood during monthly menstruation should select a multivitamin with iron. Don't take an individual iron supplement, though, unless a doctor has diagnosed a deficiency.
Little data supports taking high doses of one or two antioxidants like lycopene on their lonesome. Researchers believe antioxidants in foods work together in synergy to fend off disease so isolating them may not have the same effect.
Studies in humans have yet to show that the flavonoid quercetin can bolster endurance performance by more than trivial amounts.
Vitamin E
Studies involving vitamin-E supplementation on heart disease and cancer risk have generally come up lame, while Harvard scientists found it may raise stroke risk. Stick with food sources such as nuts, avocado and olive oil or what is found in a multivitamin.

Thaydra Perez experienced postpartum depression with the birth of her son Stephen. Four years later, she delivered twins and had a second, more difficult bout with PPD, despite taking preventive measures.
Thaydra had suffered a miscarriage before her pregnancy with Stephen and then had some complications early in the pregnancy.
"I got anxiety from this," she said. "I never had any type of anxiety before this but the minute they told me this I just went to full-blown anxiety."
After several sonograms, the doctors were able to confirm that the baby was healthy, and the pregnancy proceeded normally. Stephen was born via Caesarean section after 12 hours of labor.
"I was ecstatic to hold him, to be with him. I couldn't wait until the nurses brought him in, in his bassinet, from the nursery," she said. "We were extremely happy because we had the miscarriage and we were trying to have him for a little while before we actually did conceive him."
A few weeks later when Thaydra was home, she started crying a lot and didn't feel connected to the baby. She was relieved when she put him in his bassinet to go to sleep because she didn't have to be near him.
"I just felt like I didn't want him and I kept telling myself, I do want him. And I was trying to convince myself that I wanted him," she said. "But I knew something was wrong."
She told her husband not to tell anyone how she was feeling and said she would get herself better. Instead, it got worse.
"It was scary to be around him (Stephen) because I didn't know if I would do something to him or harm him. I felt like I knew deep down that I wouldn't harm him because I did love him," she said.
When Stephen was about 2 months old, Thaydra confided in her mother.
"At that point, I really, literally couldn't take care of myself or him. I think I kind of wanted to just get help and I had enough with it and I knew my mother would get me that help," Thaydra said.
Her mother took her to a therapist, who helped to get her on medication and started regular therapy sessions. The therapist gave her tips on how to bond with her son and advised her to keep a journal. After about a month, she felt better.
She stayed on the medication for about a year and then tapered off. She continued therapy sessions and even goes occasionally now that she has fully recovered from her second experience with PPD.
Thaydra had no complications in her second pregnancy and worked with her obstetrician and her therapist to prevent PPD. The day after Emily and Matthew were born, she started on the same antidepressant she had used after Stephen's birth.
Despite the medication, Thaydra's depression began while she was still in the hospital and worsened when she went home.
With two infants and a 4-year-old to take care of, she was getting about two hours of sleep a night.
"I started crying. ... I cried night and day. It was every minute of every hour and I would sob to the point where I couldn't even cry anymore," she said.
"There would be days where they (the twins) would be crying for a bottle and I would just sit there. And I knew what I needed to do but I didn't know if I didn't (do it) because I just didn't want to be around them or I just felt like I didn't even know how to make a bottle. It was just, it was very bad."
She experienced intrusive thoughts. She feared giving the babies a bath because she worried she would try to drown them. She also had thoughts of smothering them when they were sleeping.
"Deep down I really knew I wasn't going to, but I still had that feeling, like that question ... maybe I will ..."
Her husband and parents realized immediately how bad it was and called her doctor right away. They feared she would harm the babies or herself.
Her medication was increased multiple times and she had more frequent therapy sessions. Her mother pushed her to go to a support group.
Eventually the medication took effect and Thaydra began to feel better. When Emily and Matthew were 5 months old, she was feeding them and they both smiled at her at the same time. "And that's when I smiled back and I said to them, "Mommy's getting better and I'm going to be able to take care of you.'"
Thaydra hopes other women see her story and take comfort in it.
"It would have put me at ease knowing I'm not alone in this. There are women who also are going through this so it must not just be me and I must not be crazy," she said. "I think it definitely would have helped."

Within ten years, Kerstin and Holger Bodendorf had taken their gourmet restaurant Landhaus Stricker and its exciting flavour-centric cuisine to the top of the Sylt rankings.
From the harmonious flavour-centric cuisine he developed years ago, with its mediterranean and southern French influences, Holger Bodendorf has gradually evolved a light, healthy cuisine in which every course adheres to the pleasure principle. He has a soft spot for fish and seafood, and always tries to source the best produce for his guests despite the difficulties imposed by his geographical location. He mainly serves the very finest Breton ingredients and even goose liver, though he uses a non-force-fed type with a taste that is almost as intense. His dishes are finely executed and classically conceived, rather than trend-influenced, and he incorporates new techniques, especially sous-vide cooking, in order to heighten the experience of flavours.
Bodendorf offers a classic menu (called Bodendorf's favourites) with the emphasis on self-contained flavour combinations, such as soaked rye bread with duck foie gras, truffle butter and shallot chutney – dishes that might be cooked differently elsewhere but never better. For his 'modern' menu, Bodendorf's approach is usually more differentiated – for instance with his sensational cod in beurre noisette whey poached on green almonds, scallops and bulgur, caper grissini, in which he creates an innovative flavour spectrum by adding a slightly sour note to the aromatic Norwegian winter cod (by using sour cream butter for the beurre noisette) in combination with caramel, all perfectly framed by herby, vegetable acidity and textures – a real journey of discovery on a plate!

Hi, looks good, and thanks for posting with pics Out of curiosity, are you celiac?I have a couple of questions after reading your post. First off, what is "basic gluuteny flour"? Second...I'm having trouble understanding the measurements of your water. You call for "110g, 70g water." Then, you talk about boiling the cornmeal in 30g of water. So I see 110g, 70g, and 30g of water at various points in this recipe Can you clarify all this?Once I understand what's going on here, I'm definitely going to try it, as it sounds (and looks, from the pictures) intriguing!
You also mentioned to use 25-grams of "flour" to stretch and fold the dough, is this the "Gluuteny" flour or some other flour like rice flour?Tom Lehmann/The Dough Doctor
Jon,It still isn't clear to me what this means:110g, 70g water. 30g milkPeter
110g of the water was used to hydrate the cornmeal. 30g of the milk was added to the corn mash. 70g of the water was added after i mixed everything else. did i forget to detail this??

Topic: Running rails 3.0.5 on a server with rails 2.3.5
In the past, I was always able to freeze rails in an app and run them on a server running an older version of rails. I'm trying to do that again with a rails 3.0.5 app on a server running 2.3.5. I've run bundle install --deployment to install gems in vendor and that worked fine but when I try to run migrations I get "You have already activated rake 0.8.3, but your Gemfile requires rake 0.8.7. Consider using bundle exec." Running "bundle exec rake db:migrate" results in "no such file to load -- bcrypt" error. Basically it's trying to run the older version of rake on the server rather than the one in /vendor/bundle . Does anyone know how to force rails to use the rake gem in vendor/bundle/....? Or should I stop fighting it and roll my app back to rails 2?

Skip to comments.Police officer buys homeless man a pair of shoes [Hold on...we have HOMELESSNESS under Obama?]
Posted on 11/30/2012 2:50:40 AM PST by SoFloFreeper
One tourist's photograph, among the countless snapped every day in the Big Apple, has gone viral. The moment captured is one of generosity, and since it was posted on Tuesday, it has circled the globe and brought a lot of attention to one young New York City cop.
Had it not been for a tourist from Arizona who snapped the photo with her cell phone, Officer Lawrence DePrimo's act of kindness, giving boots to a homeless man, may have gone unnoticed. Tourist Jennifer Foster emailed the photo to the NYPD and they posted it to their Facebook page. Tens of thousands of comments followed.
DePrimo says he had no idea it was going to be such a big deal. The 25-year-old officer was on patrol in Times Square on a cold night two weeks ago when he saw the homeless man with bare feet. He says, "You could see the blisters were about the size of my hands. My heart just went out to this man. I didn't think anything of it. I just went towards him, asked him if he wanted a pair of socks. He said no, but thanks and God bless you for asking. And that I found amazing. Here he didn't even have a pair of socks tohis name and he had the heart to say God bless me. It was absolutely, it was just inspiring."
(Excerpt) Read more at wwaytv3.com ...
Anyone else remember how homelessness was a big deal when Republicans were in the White House?
On the NYPD FB page?
Good on the cop. I hope the homeless guy can keep his new boots from getting stolen.
My young son last year did a thing with church where they made up brown bags with a peanut-butter and jelly sandwich, a banana, cookie and bottle of water. Then went downtown in a group to pass them out to homeless people they came across.
My son related (with tears in his eyes) how he offered a bag to a very old bag lady, and she politely refused. My son offered it again, and she explained that she couldn't eat it all right then, and that someone would rob her for the left-overs. So they made a deal and he gave her half a sandwich and the cookie!
Yea, and afterwards, the cop went back and took the boots and socks away from the guy and returned them to the store. It was all a staged PR stunt..........
I guess he'll never be able to play the "bad cop"
A group in Amsterdam a few years ago, on very cold nights handed out pairs of thick cotton socks with hot baked potatoes in them to homeless people. The idea was that the insulated potatoes would help keep people warm over the night and in the morning there would be breakfast and clean socks.
"God bless this cop"
That's what I would say, too. But I'll bet under obama's thinking, this cop would lose his job because it's not fair that only one homeless person was helped by this cop. How fair is it that only one homeless person should be helped?
Please tell me you're joking.
Has the world really gone down the tubes this bad that deeds like this are newsworthy? Really? Kudos to the cop nevertheless.
" [Hold on...we have HOMELESSNESS under Obama?"
It's not obamas fault. That homeless guy is a holdover from the bush years.
This story was incredible. What a great cop they have in New York City. Being only 25, at least we have some youth we can count on to continue our great country on the right track after most of on here are gone. We need about 300 million more of them though.
He probably is joking about taking the boots back.
It probably was a PR stunt.
The homeless guy probably traded the boots for a fifth of booze within a few hours.
Can't it be just a great story. You have to have a conspiracy about everything. I don't believe it was a PR story at all. It was absolutely a great Christmas story. I suppose you find some of what Jesus did suspect? Turning 2 fish and 4 loafs into an amount to feed an entire group? Someone there also wrote about that....problem with that?
You want to quote for me where it says the tourist was a cop?
im joking.....sheesh
Hey folks, maybe the story is true, maybe its not a PR stunt. Maybe just maybe the cop is a good guy. Believe it, there are thousands upon thousands of good deeds done every day by people who are never recognized by the media. I choose to believe this police officer is one of NY's finest.
"I have been in law enforcement for 17 years. I was never so impressed in my life. I did not get the officer's name," Foster wrote. "It is important, I think, for all of us to remember the real reason we are in this line of work. The reminder this officer gave to our profession in his presentation of human kindness has not been lost on myself or any of the Arizona law enforcement officials with whom this story has been shared."
Foster is the tourist.
"Anyone else remember how homelessnes was a big deal when Republicans were in the White House?"
Yes. Since Obama (the first sorta African-American President) has been in office; the Commie MSM has totally wiped away any notice of the things they used to torment "Bush" about. - Now that they need to help Obama get what he wants from the "eeevil" Republicans in Congress, we'll see a leetle teensy bit of "news" about the homeless to publicize how we "need more programs" and how "heartless" the Republicans are to try to limit Obama's reckless credit card spending.
Please pardon my cynicism this soon after the elections.
It was absolutely a great Christmas story.
I certainly agree with that.
Well nuts, you just might be right.
I found a follow up story on this picture. The homeless guy is running a scam. The shop owner said the guy got ten pairs of shoes that day. If I can find the story again, I'll post a link. What the cop did is still incredibly kind but it seems he may have been duped.
I thought the story that this guy never had a pair of shoes in his life sounded quite fishy.
I do! There was a homeless story with Brian Williams show last night, and it did not shock me it ran after the election, now that its safe.
I know a lot of cops on my own department that have reached into their pockets and given people money. On duty. Buying people food and taking kids Christmas shopping.
None of this makes the papers though. You only make the paper when you do something wrong. Oh well, barring economic collapse it's 2 years til retirement and societal escape.
Go to the "N Y Post" sight and get the facts. Your way off base
"And a tourist "cop" from AZ happened to be there to take the pic!"
She was interviewed on FNC this morning. Now, the NY cop is on Fox and Friends.
Yes the AZ cop on vacation took the picture.
She saw a great moment by someone in her profession and grabbed the chance to document it. She is probably sick and tired of hearing all the negative comments about her profession. Kudos to her.
AZ cops are allowed to take vacations to NY
The story on the ABQ news was that the man had NEVER owned a pair of shoes. Of course I didn't believe that and went looking for the real story. It is a nice story and I do believe it is true.
I sure do. The Democrats said that Clinton would solve that problem. And cure AIDS to boot.
Yes it was cop who took the picture.
Hopefully people don't see that as some type of conspiracy; some probably will, but that's their problem.
Yes, God bless the officer for his kindness. In his compassion, he looked into the face of Jesus.
Now, where is the outrage over the media lionizing the officer, but ignoring the huge problem the left has caused by allowing the drug/alcohol-addled and mentally ill to roam freely without being involuntarily, but humanely, committed to care and treatment. The Obama-Commie clones are responsible for this, not George Bush.
He/she is responding to #3.
Cant it be just a great story.
Not around here.
yeah, i'd like to see that follow up.
Here is the link that I read about the homeless guy getting lots of shoes that day. It wasn't so much as a follow up as just comments from people that see the man around town on a regular basis. You'll see the comments at the bottom of the article. Last couple of paragraphs.
This doesn't mean that I don't think what the cop did was wonderful. He has a kind soul and was trying to do something good. I can appreciate that! It really is the little things like this that have the potential to truly make a difference. Scam or no scam.
Sadly, I think you are correct.
I just saw a story today that said the man is walking around shoeless again! In an interview he talks about being on Youtube and Facebook and wants to know "where is HIS piece of the pie." Now, how would a truly homeless person have any clue what Facebook and Youtube is and how would he know he is on it and is a popular draw?
I've noticed that you see trends among the homeless in various cities. For instance, one year in several different cities, I saw several of them carrying signs that said "Need beer. Why lie?"
I'm sure we will now see many shoeless during the winter to get sympathy, now that the word spreads showing it works.
Remember the "Will work for food" signs a few years ago?

Today's post has nothing whatsoever to do with RA, doctors, meds, or the usual topics on this blog.
Our first calf of the year arrived!
So sweet! I love calves. The farmer who owns the land that backs up my parents' property keeps beef cattle and so we have a pasture full of cows and calves next door every spring. It's so much fun to watch them.
How exciting for you to have a little one and another on the way so soon!
Cute! But what a lot of work! I don't know how you manage to do it with RA. How big is the herd and what other animals do you have?
There is just nothing like the farming life! I am glad that you are feeling enough better to think of riding again. I haven't ridden in years but oh the thought is exhilarating.
At one point in our lives we raised sheep, over 100 ewes at the height of it, and the lambing season was my favorite. However now at times am grateful that there are not night checks and winter feedings to deal with, but I so miss the baby lambs and their leaping and dancing just for the joy of doing it. Enjoy every moment of the season!

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Step Aside, Chicken Little
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The bears may be proclaiming the sky is falling, but if you examine when the sky actually did fall you'll find that we're nowhere near those dangerous levels, Jim Cramer said on "Mad Money" Thursday.
Cramer said the markets have seen parabolic moves in the past, such as the period between 1999 and early 2000. Back then, the Nasdaq rallied nearly 500 points per month. But in recent months, the Nasdaq has only rallied 200 points per month.
Back in 2000, the market leaders were trading at huge valuations, he added, but in today's markets, Google
In another market panic, that of 1987, Cramer noted the S&P 500 traded at an average valuation of 29 times earnings. Today, that number is only 16 times earnings. These are not ludicrous valuations, he continued. The semiconductor stocks are nowhere near their 2007 peak and even the best-performing financial stock, Citigroup
Those stocks that do seem frothy, such as Tesla Motors
So are stocks overvalued and poised for a huge decline? Cramer said he thinks not.
Follow the Pipeline
Looking for the antidote to a frothy stock market? Cramer told viewers to stick with the big themes that are working such as the North American energy revolution. He said one of the best ways to play this revolution is with the pipeline master limited partnerships, or MLPs, such as Kinder Morgan Energy Partners
Cramer said both of these pipeline players can be viewed as toll road operators for the ever-increasing amounts of crude being pumped out of our oil shale fields including the Bakken, Eagle Ford and Marcellus. Currently, there is little to no infrastructure in these areas, which has forced operators to use any means necessary, including trains, trucks and barges, to get their oil where it needs to go. That leaves huge opportunities for pipeline operators like Kinder and Enterprise to expand their operations.

It's clear to scientists that the whales' new itinerary must signal a shifting food supply.
As curious as where the right whales aren't is where they are.thousands, North Atlantic right whales are among the rarest animals on earth, haunted by the specter of extinction after centuries of whaling. Right whales were protected under whaling conventions enacted in 1935 and 1949, but today accidental collisions with ships and entanglement in fishing gear pose grave threats.
Right whales and their prey aren't the only species on the move in the region.average, approaching conditions not expected until the century's end.
Scientists note that as warming continues, marine ecosystems may be thrown badly out of whack.decamping into cooler northern waters, even as southern species like black sea bass and longfin squid move in.

A report by People For the American Way Foundation
Executive Summary
Today, governmental responsibilities in education and the strong connection that Americans have with their public schools are being put to a serious test. A network of Religious Right groups, free-market economists, ultraconservative columnists and others are using vouchers as a vehicle to achieve their ultimate goal of privatizing education. Their embrace of vouchers reflects their view that to be successful, privatization must be achieved incrementally. The long-term goal is to make all schooling an activity supplied by private sources: for-profit management companies, religious organizations and home schools. The movement believes that targeted voucher plans, such as those in Florida, Milwaukee and Cleveland, give them a foot in the door en route to achieving this goal. While many of those who want to privatize education choose their words very carefully, others are more candid about their goals. The Heartland Institute's Joseph Bast has urged others who share his group's extreme agenda to be patient. "The complete privatization of schooling might be desirable, but this objective is politically impossible for the time being. Vouchers are a type of reform that is possible now, and would put us on the path to further privatization."
1. Vouchers are part of a broader strategy by some to privatize public schools.
Joel Belz, publisher of World—a Religious Right magazine—wrote a column several years ago sympathizing with those who oppose vouchers because they don't want government to play any role in education. He wrote: "If [supporting vouchers] helps bring down the statist system, which it will, it will be worth the temporary compromise."(emphasis added) Supporting vouchers now, Belz argued, would help pro-privatization groups in the long run "gain a larger strategic advantage."
2. Voucher supporters are pushing their agenda from the highest levels.
Privatization advocates have made a serious effort to bring about change, no longer from outside the system but from within the corridors of power. U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., after his appointment to the House education committee said, "I think it's a lot easier to kill the beast when you get in the cave." Recently, the Bush Administration appointed Nina Shokraii Rees, a staunch voucher advocate, to head DOE's Office of Innovation and Improvement.
3. Many pro-privatization groups offer two messages: one for committed followers and another for the broader public.
For example, the Florida-based James Madison Institute has stated that it "believes that parents should have the freedom to make decisions in the best interests of their children." Most Americans, including those who strongly support public education, would likely agree with this vague statement. These words, of course, leave unmentioned the fact that the James Madison Institute's education policy director has signed a proclamation that calls for scrapping the public education system.
4. Many existing private schools are unlikely to accommodate significant numbers of additional students in a privatized system.
Chester E. Finn, Jr., who heads the Fordham Foundation, notes that it is generally hard to find private school leaders "who want their schools to grow, to open additional campuses, to recruit more clients." Finn also recently admitted that "there aren't enough private schools to go around" for would-be voucher students. Indeed, a massive number of schools would have to be built to replace all or most of the 92,000 public schools operating across America.
5. Vouchers can lead to hastily created 'fly-by-night' private schools unable to provide children with a quality education.
Concerns about quality are magnified by the fact that private and religious schools are not held accountable in the same manner as public schools. In fact, the CATO Institute's David Salisbury recently argued that private schools' ability to disregard state standards is "the very basis for school choice."
6. Schools may not be just another economic market.
The voucher movement largely owes its beginnings to economist Milton Friedman's beliefs that the private sector delivers goods and services more efficiently than public institutions. Ironically, some of the conditions in public schools identified by critics as problems are rooted in the dynamics of the free market system they praise. Large schools were inspired largely by private enterprise, which has long encouraged "economies of scale." Boston University professor Philip Tate has observed that rigid class schedules, reliance on test scores and other traits of public schools "were instituted in the name of efficiency" and created a "factory model" of schooling.
7. A privatized system of education could leave too many children behind.
It is likely that a privatized education system will cater to those students who are believed to be easier or less expensive to educate. The Heritage Foundation has expressed hope that "vouchers could limit how much taxpayers must pay to educate the disabled and begin a movement toward cost containment." A survey by the U.S. Department of Education of private schools in large inner-cities found that between 70 and 85 percent of schools would "definitely or probably" not be willing to participate in a voucher program if they were required to accept "students with special needs such as learning disabilities, limited English proficiency or low achievement." Among religious schools, 86 percent expressed this same unwillingness to participate.
8. The public supports public education.
In a national poll this year, Americans chose "reforming the existing public school system" over "finding an alternative" to the current system by a 69-to-27 percent margin. In last year's annual Phi Delta Kappa-Gallup poll on education, 71 percent of public school parents gave a grade of A or B to the school attended by their oldest child.

Detailed information on key strategic issues
Iran's pursuit of dual-use technologies that could be used for strategic weapons has raised global concerns and even, in some quarters, consideration of pre-emptive military action. There is compelling evidence that Iran is seeking the capability to produce nuclear weapons should its leaders make this fateful decision.
This IISS Strategic Dossier provides a detailed and objective technical assessment of Iran's nuclear, chemical and biological programmes, and offers a careful estimate of how long it would take Iran to produce nuclear weapons under different scenarios. The Dossier traces the political and technical history of the programmes and the diplomatic efforts to dissuade Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability. Written and reviewed by internationally recognised experts, the Dossier evaluates the programmes, and the concerns they raise, on the basis of what is known and not known. This publication complements the recent IISS Strategic Dossier Iran's Ballistic Missile Capabilities: a net assessment. Both books provide dispassionate, fact-rich analysis to fuel the policy debate on how to deal with the growing crisis over Iran.

Wells Fargo: Financial Winner
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Wells Fargo (WFC) was the winner among the largest financial names on Thursday, with shares rising over 1% to close at $33.16.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) and S&P 500 (SPX.X) saw slight gains and the NASDAQ Composite (^IXIC) was up 1%, as a slew of decent economic reports overshadowed investors' continued concerns over the Fiscal Cliff.
The KBW Bank Index (I:BKX) rose slightly to close at 48.65, with all but seven index components ending the session with gains.
The U.S. Labor Department reported that for the week ended Nov. 24, seasonally adjusted initial unemployment claims totaled 393,000, declining by 23,000 from the previous week's revised 416,000. The four-week moving average of initial unemployment claims was 405,250, increasing from the previous week's figure of 397.750. Economists on average had expected first-time claims to total 390,000, according to Briefing.com.
The Bureau of Economic Analysis announced that its second estimate of U.S. gross domestic product growth during the third quarter showed an annual growth pace of 2.7% over the second quarter. With a "more complete source data," the estimate increased significantly from the "advance" estimate last month of a 2.0% third-quarter growth rate.
The National Association of Realtors said that pending home sales during October rose to their "highest level in over five years," increasing 5.2% from September and 13.2% above pending sales in October 2011. The organization's chief economist Lawrence Yun said that "We've had very good housing affordability conditions for quite some time, but we're seeing more impact now from steady job creation, and rising consumer confidence about home buying now that home prices have clearly turned positive."
Fiscal Cliff, Investors and Housing.
The expiration of tax cuts enacted when George W. Bush and extended by President Obama is the biggest immediate fear for investors if the U.S. "falls off the Fiscal Cliff," with no compromise between the president and the Republican leadership of the House of Representatives on reducing the federal deficit by the end of the year.
While there's been plenty of cheerful talk from the president and Democratic leaders over a possible deal to avert the Fiscal Cliff, Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Thursday said after a meeting with Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner that "despite the claims that the president supports a balanced approach, the Democrats have yet to get serious about real spending cuts," according to a Reuters report .
An important concern for investors if the "Bush tax cuts" expire, is the end of the 15% federal income tax rate limitation on qualified dividend income, which includes most dividends on common and preferred stock. Under the current rules, if an investor's adjusted gross income keeps him or her under in the 15% tax bracket, the investor actually pays no federal taxes on the dividend income, so nearly all investors could see a massive new haircut to their dividend income.

Egg bill good for everyone
Monique Nadeau, Minot
With all the divisive battles and partisan bickering in Washington, here is something positive that all the major stakeholders agree on: S. 820 will improve the treatment of egg-laying hens, and providing a stable and secure future for egg farmers. That's why the bill is supported by animal welfare groups, the egg industry, veterinarians, and consumers.
Most egg-laying hens are currently crammed into such small cages that they can barely move an inch for their entire lives. This legislation will require larger enriched colony cages which provide each hen with about twice as much space, as well as nesting areas, perches, and scratch pads so they can engage in more natural behaviors. It will also ban inhumane practices such as forced starvation molting, and require labels on egg cartons so consumers have more information about the conditions in which hens were raised.
Egg producers would have an ample phase-in period to transition to new housing systems, much of which can be done in the normal process of replacing aged equipment, and they would have a single national standard and a level playing field rather than the current patchwork of conflicting state laws. And consumers will barely notice the difference in egg prices, since a recent economic study found that the changes would result in less than 2 cents more per dozen eggs, and only years into the future, much less than the normal fluctuations in the egg market due to energy, feed, and other costs.
This legislation is a win-win for all parties involved, and you don't see that very often in Washington. Senators Heidi Heitkamp and John Hoeven both serve on the Senate Agriculture Committee, and they should support this bill which is good for the egg industry, good for the economy, good for jobs, and good for animals.

The 1991-P Washington Quarter is very common. Although, examples in MS66 condition and higher appear to be scarce and very tough to locate. It appears as if few examples are seldom offered in the marketplace, and finding one to purchase may take as long as a year or more. In MS67 condition they are really scarce and less and a few dozen are known. Examples in MS67 are very difficult to locate and collectors will usually have to keep an eye out for a long time before they find one in the market.

Hunt 1214: CWMU Buck deer
Season dates
9-1-2014 to 10-31-2014
- Nonresident permits: No
- Resident permits: 1
- Total permits: 1
The Wildlife Board establishes timeframes for hunting on CWMUs. Hunters should expect to hunt at least five days within these timeframes
Type: CWMU
Species: Buck deer
Weapon: Any legal weapon
DescriptionThe Bootjack Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) is located on the Promontory Mountains. The westside of the Unit is almost the shoreline of the Great Salt Lake at around 4200 feet. From the westside to the eastside of the Unit, the elevation rises to a maximum of about 7200 feet in the north and 6200 feet in the south. From these higher elevations the Unit drops faster to the eastside boundary at around 4200 feet, almost the Great Salt Lake shoreline. In an east-west direction, South Canyon, North Canyon, Miller Canyon, and Broadmouth Canyon all cut the unit. The most common elevation is 4200 feet but ranges from 4200 feet to 7200 feet with an elevation difference of 3000 feet. Fifty-one percent (51%) of the CWMU elevation ranges between 5000 feet and 6400 feet an elevation difference of 1400 feet.
The middle of the Bootjack Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) is covered with Inter-Mountain Basins Big Sagebrush Shrubland (48). Surrounding the Sagebrush Shrublands are extensive areas of Great Basin Pinyon-Juniper Woodland (37). Along the western edge of the Unit are areas of Invasive Annual Grassland (121) and Invasive Annual and Biennial Forbland (122). There are areas of Inter-Mountain Basins Semi-Desert Grassland (76) and at drier locations, Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Shrubland (48) and Inter-Mountain Basins Greasewood Flat (82).
One of the Bootjack Cooperative Wildlife Mangement Unit (CWMU) nearest weather stations, BEAR RIVER REFUGE(420506), is about 17.2 km northeast from the northeast edge of the CWMU. BEAR RIVER REFUGE has forty-seven (47) years of records, 1937 - 1984. During the FALL (September, October and November) the average precipitation is 3.50 inches, but it can be as high as 11.58 inches or as low as 1.09 inches. During the 91-day FALL period, 17 days will experience greater than or equal to 0.01 inch of precipitation, 9 days of greater than or equal to 0.10 inch, or 2 days of greater than or equal to 0.50 inch of precipitation. Snowfall during the FALL averages 1.7 inches but can be as high as 9.0 inches. FALL temperature at BEAR RIVER REFUGE averages 51.7 degrees F. but can be as high as 97.0 degrees F. or as low as -3.0 degrees F. During the FALL, 25 days will be below freezing (32 degrees F.) and 3 days above 90 degrees F. This map is provided for general reference only and does not constitute a legal hunt boundary. The Division does not guarantee access to any private or public land. Hunt unit boundaries may include private property or other excluded areas.

Published April 14, 2007
Tom Farrell of West Palm Beach had one request before he died: His obituary should refer to him by his CB radio handle. Which led to this sentence in the Palm Beach Post this week: TOM P. FARRELL "Florida Panty Snatcher" Age 64 of West Palm Beach, FL passed away on April 9, 2007 after a long illness. His sister, Cecelia Sommers, told Post columnist Frank Cerabino the story: One day in his younger years the shy Farrell was at a truck stop when other drivers started teasing him. He returned to his truck to find a pair of women's panties waiting for him. "He carried those panties hanging from the rearview mirror for about five years," his sister said. "And other truckers started calling him the Florida Panty Snatcher."
A $100,000 Jeopardy prize
The answer: A local contestant competing on Jeopardy. The question: Who is Kaitlin Welborn of Tampa, a 20-year-old University of Pennsylvania student. Welborn and 14 other undergraduates from around the nation will compete in the Jeopardy! 2007 College Championship, scheduled to tape April 21-22 at the University of Southern California. Thousands auditioned at schools nationwide. The winner will take home $100,000. The competition will air over two weeks between April 30 and May 11.
A robber, but one with manners
A gunman robbing an Altamonte Springs convenience store allowed the clerk to call 911 and apologized after the woman said she might be having a heart attack. But he still took $30 and cigarettes, authorities said. The masked man entered the Kangaroo Express store last Saturday and pointed what appeared to be a handgun at 60-year-old clerk Mary Parker, according to surveillance audio/video released Thursday. She started hyperventilating and pleaded with the gunman for help. He let Parker call 911. Before leaving he said: "You have a good day. I'm sorry this had to happen."
