You upset a bunch of drunk guys at the bar.
Three of them follow you home shouting threats and coming close to you but never making contact.
You are armed, how would you react in this scenario, assume you are in this situation and don't respond with what you would have done to avoid it.

Do you have a cell phone, call the police. If it escalates to the point you feel you are in imminent danger of serious bodily harm or death, follow the laws of the state you are in as far as self defense force.

I agree with Rock and Glock. Don't go home first of all. If you have a cell. Call 911 and let them know you are being followed and the story behind it. Stay on the phone til they catch up with you. If you don't have a cell. Go to Police Station etc.

Shouting threats..i can handle that..go from my car inside my house saying nothing to them. It has not escalated into a situation where i need to pull my firearm. I assume they have not blocked my way into the house. I can defend better from inside the house where i can now call police and describe them and their car. Sticks and stones may break my bones but names can never hurt me. No sticks and stones no firearm needed...
"Look, guys, let's call it a night... here's a 10 spot, go have a round on me..."
(That's pretty much straight out of In The Gravest Extreme)
I have attempted to defuse... the next move is up to them. If they don't turn around, 911, speaker phone, phone in pocket. Ready.
It could be worse!
I suppose
1st, I wouldn't be armed (w/ a handgun) while at a bar drinking...or not drinking for that matter.
2nd, I'd never be stupid enough to let them follow me home. If "it's" going to happen, it's going to happen right then and there at the bar.
Not sure how many of you walk or drive around with people following you, yelling obsceneties. Again, for me, this is a fantastical scenerio. And trust me...I've spent my fair share of time in biker bars,regular bars and had plenty of altercations with drunk morons...this is not how it goes down. lol

If you ever think you are being followed don't go home. Like someone else said "drive to the local police dept".
My name is Frogman46 and I'm tougher than you.
Hope you weren't in the bar armed !! If it was me, ( I am 72 ) and there were 3 drunks following me shouting threats, I know that in my mind I would think that they had every intent to do me bodily harm, therefore because I don't just carry for the fun of it, I would display my weapon, maybe depending on the location fire 1 shot in the ground, never pointing the pistol at them, then tell them to get lost or let the games begin. At 72 I'm to old for kind of crap. PS. This has happened once to me, lucky for the duffes, he got out of dodge, and I never heard any more about it. Note back then I didn't have a CC permit, and lived in WIsconsin.

Never argue with an idiot - they'll bring you down to their level then beat you with experience.
I dont drink or go to bars. Also i doubt they could have followed me home unnoticed.So i too would not be in this situation but i tried to answer the situation as it was presented
Even if it is legal in your state, why would anyone go to a bar armed? You can't drink, and you will only be surrounded by idiots looking for trouble. Seems like your scenario is 100% avoidable, don't go.
Sort of how I know I won't be eaten by a shark, I keep my white hiney out the ocean!
To amend my previous post... They aren't going to follow me home... unless I'm on foot... And I ain't on foot. Farthest they'll follow me is towards my car. It is at that point I'll offer them the ten... If they have surreptitiously followed me home and I was unaware of it, per the scenario... then well, things are a bit different.
I can't offer them the ten spot... I can show them the muzzle of my gun... they can leave, or not... but I'm talkin' to 911. This can only end badly, perhaps for me but I can assure you that they won't go away unscathed, unless they just leave. And then 911 will have a plate number and description to work with.
It could be worse!
I suppose
My lawyer constantly reminds me: intent is everything.
You know, it is funny how many people have said to drive to a police station. Well, I've always heard the same thing all my life. The thing is, something similar to this happened to me when I was 16, which was back around 1992. This was in the time before cell phones. I was being followed due to a traffic altercation (which to this day I believe was their fault). Driving to a police station was the first thing that came to mind. Only I shortly realized I didn't actually know where a police station was. I'd never really had a reason to go to one.
What ended up solving this problem for me was a BB gun. A the time I had a $20 BB pistol in my car which was a very bad imitation of a 1911. It wouldn't hold up to scrutiny closer than about 6 feet. I stopped at a traffic light and they pulled up next to me. I really couldn't see inside their vehicle as they had very dark tint. But it appeared there was more than one of them in there. I pulled out the BB gun and held it up in a position that might look like I was racking the slide (although the slide didn't really move on this one) As soon as they saw that, they sped off as fast as they could and that was the end of it. My bluff worked. I was quite relieved.

The initial results of this trial were published a few months ago,* and showed that patients who received this treatment during emergency transit to hospital had much smaller amounts of dead heart muscle than those randomly assigned to receive no treatment. The new study shows that the proportion of patients with a severely deteriorated heart contractile function is much less (60%) in the group that received metoprolol. Early treatment with metoprolol treatment also significantly reduced the rate of hospital readmission for chronic heart failure, and massively reduced the need to implant a cardioverter-defibrillator.
Borja Ibáñez -- joint lead investigator on the study with Valentín Fuster -- explains that "the possibility to reduce so dramatically the number of cases of chronic heart failure (with all the associated treatments and hospital readmissions) with such a cheap procedure (the metoprolol treatment costs less than two euros per patient) could generate enormous savings for health services across Europe."
An initial estimate indicates that if half the heart-attack patients in Europe received early treatment with this cheap drug, the savings in treatment for heart failure alone could exceed €10 billion a year. But as Dr. Fuster is careful to emphasize, it is important to remain cautious, and these estimates will need to be confirmed in a much larger study population across Europe. The research team is already preparing a new clinical trial, with more than 3000 patients in several European countries, which will be powered to demonstrate a reduction in mortality with this treatment. According to the authors, "The results presented today and published simultaneously in this issue of JACC are unprecedented and extremely promising, but rigorous clinical investigation requires corroboration in an independent population." The European consortium for this larger scale study, which will be led from Spain by the CNIC, is already being formed, and includes researchers from Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Denmark, Serbia, Poland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
Dr. Gonzalo Pizarro, one of the first authors on the study, comments that "it has been possible to demonstrate the beneficial and sustained effect of this acute treatment thanks to the realization of advanced cardiac magnetic resonance analysis of almost all the patients in this clinical trial." The CNIC is recognized for its expertise and research in different imaging technologies, particularly magnetic resonance imaging. The center runs a range of training programs in cardiovascular imaging in collaboration with the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, which is also directed by Dr. Fuster. Many of the cardiologists who contributed to the design, performance and analysis of the MRI scans in the METOCARD-CNIC trial, including Drs. Pizarro and Fernández-Friera (joint first authors on the study), received training on these programs, and now work at the CNIC, combining their research activity and their clinical work in the Spanish hospital network.

I personally have a great deal to thank God for this year. After playing an incredible tennis season with my best friends, surviving the first quarter of my junior year, making it three months as an only child and always having my number one fans to come home to after a long day, I realize how much God has blessed me with. Regardless of what is down the road, it is so important for us all to take account of what we have in this moment. It'll be gone before we know it and we sometimes lose sight of that when we only think of the past or future.
I have often wondered, why pick just one day out of the whole year to "give thanks"? There is so much to be thankful for every single day of our lives. We should really be counting our blessings every second of our day, because God has truly given us an abundance of things to be glad for. Taking a special day from the year to give thanks reminds us all of how truly wonderful life is.
Family, football, watching the Macy's Day parade and obviously eating more than you are capable of are all Thanksgiving traditions I look forward to. I would like to suggest something new you might try this year to jazz up the typical going around the table and sharing what you're thankful for tradition. As your guests arrive on Thursday, have them write down what they're thankful for on little sheets of paper. Take your unbaked rolls (crescent or homemade) and roll the papers within them. Bake as directed and enjoy reading them during dinner. Keep the notes anonymous and guess who wrote each one for another twist!
Enjoy your day, enjoy your family and have a very Happy Thanksgiving! -Kate

The thing is though that the game works perfectly at my school, and they have the super super old version of windows :/ So it makes no sense why it won't work on my laptop. I tried "googling it" like it suggested, but I'm unable to find the answer. I've seen people talking about some graphics thingy, but whenever I search "Graphics" into the start bar nothing shows up. I would be really grateful if anyone helped me because I love this game and yet I can't play at home. :c BooMDeaD likes this Share this post Link to post

Back in Newcastle
Trip Start Aug 23, 1996
583Trip End Ongoing
train to catch, from Carlisle back to Newcastle as we wanted to have a walk around and see the place, and there was also the Museum of Antiquities to see.
Do you really need to know about a train journey. No not really, but it was around ninety minutes and we did get to see some of the places that we had seen on the walk.
Once in town, we headed straight up to the museum, but once there, we found out that it was closed and there was no known date as to when it would re-open. You could say that we were both fucked off. After walking all this way, and having read that there were finds in the museum, we were really looking forward to seeing them !!!
There were other things to see, so we jumped on the metro and made our way back out to Wallsend as we wanted to see the fort of Segudunum.
Now compared to the other forts on the walk, there really isn't much to see. We went up the viewing tower to get an overview, and they have marked out the boundaries and such. They have also built a bathhouse in a Roman style which was kind of ok. Across the road was a little bit of wall, plus one they had built themselves !!! After seeing what we had seen over the last five days, we were not very excited. Inside was a museum with various finds so that we did get to see some Roman finds, but it still didn't make up for the earlier disappointment.
Back in town, the day was getting later, so we had a quick run around looking at the bridges before it was time to
head back to the airport and to life in general !!!
And Finally
It was fun being in Newcastle, seeing the baby Harbour Bridge again, but seeing that the museum was closed, we either need to come here again, or maybe walk the wall again !!!

If you're the Boston Globe, there's no day like 9-11 to suggest negotiating with terrorists. For that's what the Globe appears to propose in its editorial of this morning, "Toughness after Sept. 11."
The gist is that in response to 9-11, President Bush's "aggressive foreign policy" and his "version of toughness" have had "tragic and unpredictable consequences," including "tens of thousands of civilians dead" in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the trampling of civil liberties at home.
So what does the Globe propose as the alternative to toughness? The editorial approvingly notes that "Churchill sought rapprochement with the Soviet Union following Stalin's death in 1953. Reagan realized he could negotiate with the Soviet Union after Mikhail Gorbachev came to power."
Remember: this is the Globe's 9-11 anniversary editorial, explicitly addressing our response to terrorrism. The Globe concludes by warning against "shows of toughness" and calling for a "thoughtful response." In the context, it's hard to interpret its praise for Churchill and Reagan's negotiating with the Communists as other than a call for the current administration to emulate those leaders by negotiating with the enemy of the day: terrorists in general and al-Qaeda in particular.
Can the Globe possibly mean what it appears to have proposed? Should we invite OBL out of his cave and to a good hotel on the shores of Lake Geneva for some negotiations an "rapprochement"? And what do the Dem presidential aspirants think of the apparent proposal by a newpaper that will surely be endorsing whoever among them emerges as the candidate?

Home > World News > Article
Experts from the World Health Organisation and Food and Agriculture Organisation were hunting yesterday for cases of humans infected by bird flu in southern Vietnam after four deaths in the north.
Officials of the UN agencies were meeting health and agriculture officials in Ho Chi Minh City in their search for victims, said WHO spokesman Robert Dietz.
"They're speaking with officials and trying to find out what is happening," Mr Dietz said.
Eight northern and seven southern provinces have reported outbreaks of avian flu type H5N1 but the south has been hardest hit. Two southern provinces have seen the cull or deaths of one million chickens.
But all the confirmed human flu cases have been in the north, baffling the experts.
The deaths have raised fears of a new deadly epidemic sweeping out of the region that saw an outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome spread around the world last year and kill about 800 people.
The four confirmed bird flu deaths, three children and one woman, occurred in three provinces near Hanoi. The woman was the mother of one of the children. Vietnam has a total of 12 suspected avian flu deaths.
The WHO said it had found no evidence of human-to-human transmission of the H5N1 virus. Some of the victims had come into contact with sick poultry, a WHO official said.
But in what could be the first cases of bird flu in humans in the south, a hospital in Kien Giang province said yesterday a man showing symptoms similar to those seen in bird flu victims had died. A woman with similar symptoms was in critical condition.
"Clearly we know there's avian influenza in the south, probably on a bigger scale than in the north, so we are concerned that there could be other human cases over there," Peter Horby, the WHO's Hanoi-based epidemiologist, said.
"That's one of the reasons we are bringing epidemiologists who can go to the south who can try to detect any cases that might be there," he said on Saturday.
Five children remain hospitalised in Hanoi as suspected avian flu cases, but only one was very sick, he said. Seven adults suspected of having bird flu were being treated at Hanoi's Bach Mai hospital.
South Korea, Japan and Taiwan have also reported outbreaks of bird flu but Vietnam has been the hardest hit.
The type of avian flu virus that caused the four confirmed deaths in Vietnam is similar to a variant that struck Hong Kong in 1997, killing six people.
The virus emerged in Vietnam just ahead of the country's biggest celebration, Tet or the Lunar New Year which kicks off on January 21.

Evans, GA (WJBF) — Xeve Perez is only 6-years-old, but he is already an accomplished golfer. In the past 2 months, he won a couple of big tournaments, the Carolinas Junior and Georgia Junior championships (6 & under divisions). It's nothing new to Perez. "I won tournaments when I was 2, 4, and 6."
His game caught the eye of Jones Creek Golfing Center PGA teaching professional Doug Cameron who says Perez has a fantastic golf swing.

For reasons, I have been given a fabulous briefcase.
The colour is fabulous, even more orange than it appears in the photo. It has strong handles, a detachable shoulder strap, several compartments inside, including one for a laptop, a front pocket with a mobile phone pouch. So it is very practical, as well as being very beautiful.
It passes the "What would Megan say?" test. In spades. And then some.
Best of all, it was given to me by someone I like and admire very much. I shall think of her every time I use it, and regret the loss of the friendship that was growing between us. Of course we will stay in contact, but it won't be the same.

Lots of questions already piling up for Ask Me Anything Day! "DC Observer" asks:
Who are the early Democratic frontrunners to challenge Brown in 2012?
Do you see a member of the Cong. Delegation? A former member like
Meehan? Someone from state politics? Private sector?
I think that Meehan is very likely. A congressman would have to give up his seat to run, which seems unlikely unless the GOP really does take over the majority in the House (and looks likely to keep it after 2012), although a couple would be sorely tempted.
"Boston Bertie" asks:
Is Martha Coakley vulnerable for re-election for AG after her absolutely
horrendous campaign for the US Senate. Democratic activists that I talk to are
raging with her for losing Teddy's seat and all say they will never vote for her
again - for anything.I see Bill Keating's web site for AG hasn't come down.
Is Martha Coakley vulnerable for re-election for AG after her absolutely
horrendous campaign for the US Senate. Democratic activists that I talk to are
raging with her for losing Teddy's seat and all say they will never vote for her
again - for anything.
I see Bill Keating's web site for AG hasn't come down.
Brightening the gloom of your winter, it's the pageantry and hoopla of Ask Me Anything Day on the Talking Politics blog!
(Note to self: ask art department to whip up an Ask Me Anything Day graphic. Something this important deserves its own graphic.)
There's certainly plenty going on these days: Gov. Patrick's State of the Commonwealth address; the teetering national health care bill; a special state senate election in Cambridge & environs; the fast-approaching 2010 national and state elections; the start of the 2012 GOP Presidential cycle; .
The Supreme Court has finally ruled on the much-watched Citizens United case. The bottom line is that business and labor will now have more -- but not unlimited -- power to spend on elections. The 5-4 majority (the four solid conservatives plus Kennedy) agreed that political spending is a form of free speech.
I'll have much more to write about the ruling and its potential impact later.
In an online exclusive, I offer my analysis not of how Martha Coakley lost the election, but how Scott Brown (and his Romneyite campaign team) won it.
My take? He copied the playbook used by Barack Obama in Iowa: expand the playing field.
Also online: the Boston Phoenix editorial about the election -- which includes some choice words for Brown, Coakley, Obama, and others.
I'm told Martha Coakley's campaign is "cautiously optimistic." Of what, I don't know. I do know that a prominent Dem in the state is saying Brown wins by 5. But we'll see.
It's been interesting to have the national political attention on a Massachusetts election. We haven't had that probably since what, Weld-Kerry? And even that was just one of several going on.
The Coakley campaign is taking time out of its busy day right now to hold a press conference complaining about pre-marked ballots -- I don't know what's going on there, and obviously anybody who commits voter fraud should be investigated, but it seems to me the campaign should be a little more concerned at the moment with trying not to get their butts whipped in this election.
Dewey defeats Truman 2010?
From Bob Powers at the Boston Globe, regarding the little oopsie I tweaked them for earlier:
[Associated Press] was testing an election data feed to its Massachusetts clients.
During corresponding tests at our end, the feed of AP's hypothetical test
data was inadvertently posted for a few minutes on a single subsection page
within our site. As soon as the error was discovered, it was removed. We
regret the mishap.
Boston.com briefly put up this map of the final results of today's election -- some 8 hours before polls closed!
As you can see, over 2 million people voted, with Coakley eking out a 50-49 victory.
The map was fully interactive, so you could roll over and get town-by-town results -- above we show Coakley taking Cohasset 56-43.
As of 9:00am, 23,667 people had voted in Boston. That's about 30% ahead of the 18,399 who had voted by 9:00 for November's Mayoral election.
That would project to be about 140,000 voters, or roughly 40% turnout in Boston.
Secretary of State Bill Galvin is predicting roughly 40% turnout statewide.
Boston often votes at a lower rate than the state as a whole.
Polls are open from 7:00am to 8:00pm tomorrow, and all that time political junkies will be looking to people like me to give them something to satisfy their need to know WHAT'S HAPPENING?!?!?!?
I'll do my best, as always, to provide what I can -- here, on Facebook, and on Twitter (@dbernstein).
I'll also be all over the airwaves.
It's well-known that weathermen -- particularly New England weathermen -- are the only group of pundits who get away with being wrong more consistently than political pundits.
Ten days ago they said election Tuesday would be sunny and calm. Pfft. Now they're saying things like "wintry mix" -- which itself seems like a wishy-washy prediction that really means: "Something's gonna happen, but hell if I know what."
Earlier today, two news reports said that someone called out "shove a curling iron up her butt" (refering to Coakley) at Brown's rally in Worcester. This video appears to show Scott Brown pause, & give a little nod and laugh, in response to that being shouted out.
My comments on some things flappin' around...
--Kudos to the boys at Blue Mass Group for digging up the clip of Scott Brown suggesting that Obama may have been born out of wedlock. I don't know that it puts Brown into the 'birther' category; I just think it makes him boorish, obnoxious, and disrespectful. Uncool.
--Bear in mind that pretty much all the polling you've seen has been based on voter-turnout assumptions that almost certainly no longer apply, now that the race has attained total public-consciousness saturation.
You know how in school you might have a boy who's the class clown, and always needs to be the center of attention? And if someone else in the class starts getting attention the boy feels threatened, and does the most outrageous thing he can think of, to get the attention back?
I bring this up because, just since Sarah Palin began her new gig as FOX News contributor, first Rush Limbaugh and now Glenn Beck have made obviously outrageous, attention-grabbing comments about the news item of the week, Haiti.

Artifacts Found
Nearly $2 million worth of ancient Florida artifacts are now evidence in a case of criminal conspiracy. Florida Fish and Wildlife officers nabbed 14 people, including two people from North Central Florida, after a two year investigation into missing artifacts from State Lands. Officers say the suspects were sneaking onto state property at night to dig and dive for a piece of history. Florida Fish and Wildlife Major Curtis Brown says the suspects were selling the items on the internet.
"Some of these items and they are displayed on these posters. They were for sale for $100,000. They were sold on online websites; Ebay, Craigslist, tradeshows and of course the black market." Major Curtis Brown (Florida Fish and Wildlife Major) said.
From our area, 74-year-old James Tatum of Fort White and 50-year-old Paul Hilton of Silver Springs were among those arrested. Some of the suspects are experienced divers and experts in Florida history. They had been operating for years. No one knows how many artifacts were shipped out of state.

Movie Review - We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks

First there was Enron, then the Catholic Church, torture, Jack Abramoff and Eliot Spitzer; now Alex Gibney has turned his sights on WikiLeaks.

Director: Alex Gibney
Rating: R
Studio: Jigsaw Productions
Stars: Julian Assange, Adrian Lamo, Bradley Manning
Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney has a great nose for worldwide scandals. Having already taken on, in under a decade, no less than Enron, widespread sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, torture, Jack Abramoff and Eliot Spitzer, he's now turned his sights on WikiLeaks, the website that through anonymous sources exposed classified information, much of it damning, of the United States' conduct throughout two dirty wars.
At the movie's center is WikiLeaks' lightning rod, Julian Assange, the charismatic silver-haired teller of hard truths who briefly became a worldwide media rock star until sex assault allegations turned him into something every bit as secretive as the people and institutions he set out to unmask. So much for transparency. But in Gibney's film, beautifully edited by Andy Grieve, the cool, emotionally remote Assange (now in asylum in London in the Ecuadorian Embassy) is thoroughly upstaged by Bradley Manning, an Iraq War soldier and intelligence analyst who passed readily accessible U.S. military documents to WikiLeaks, leading to his court martial and imprisonment. It's Manning who provides the film's emotional heartbeat and, maybe, its biggest source of anger. A lonely, sexually muddled, emotionally fragile guy who began online conversations with a hacker named Adrian Lamo who, in the end, ratted him out, Manning emerges as the ultimate sympathetic fall guy.
We Steal Secrets is big, complex, entertaining and spellbinding. Although its narrative continues to unfold right this minute, the film does what good documentaries must do. Equal parts spine-tingling spy thriller and an attempt to blast through the fog of war in the age of technology and transparency, it exposes uncomfortable truths, engages the intellect and emotions, and, most of all, it outrages.

A Maryland man was recently arrested after he was accused of breaking into a Susquehanna Township home and raping a mentally disabled woman.
Jose Fredy Reyes, 29, of Frederick, is also accused of sexually assaulting the same woman on two other occasions. He was charged Friday with several sex crimes and is being held in lieu of ,000 bail in Dauphin County Prison.
The alleged victim, who is in her 30s, has the mental capacity of an elementary school student, a family member told police, according to charging documents filed by Susquehanna Township police Detective Lee Tarasi. Those documents also detail the following:
Reyes worked for Classic Landscaping, which performed work for a housing development in the township. The woman told police last summer Reyes came up to her, took her by the hand and guided her to an area where he exposed himself. She did not provide police with details on what happened after that or in the second alleged assault.
The third encounter occurred last Wednesday, the woman told police. She said Reyes entered her residence through an unlocked back door with his pants pulled down to his knees. He then forced himself on her in the living room, the woman told police.
A neighbor of the woman later told police that she saw a man run from the back of the woman s house with his pants pulled down. She later identified Reyes as the man she saw.
Reyes at first said, She invited me in when questioned by police about entering the woman s house. In a subsequent interview with a Spanish interpreter and police, he admitted to having sex with the woman and doing all kinds of things, Tarasi said in charging documents.
Reyes is also accused of providing authorities with a fake name because police said he feared being deported from the country.
The charges filed against Reyes include rape of a mentally disabled person and burglary. He has a preliminary court hearing scheduled for June 5. No defense attorney was listed for Reyes in court records as of Wednesday morning.

Michelle Rhee Group Students First To "Increase Presence" In Iowa
ProgressIowa.org has this:
Out-of-State Special Interest Group Students First Hires New Director to "Increase Presence" in Iowa
Students First has track record of supporting ALEC-Backed Education Proposals, Providing Financial Backing for Conservative Candidates, Involvement in Cheating and Anti-Gay Controversies
DES MOINES – Late last week, Students First announced hiring Patty Link, a former Des Moines School Board Member, as State Director, signaling an attempt to increase their presence in Iowa. In the past, Students First has promoted anti-union policies such as targeting collective bargaining laws, expanding charter schools and school vouchers, and working with anti-labor allies like Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and the conservative front-group, the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). Last fall, further cementing their conservative credentials, Student's First provided over $350,000 in campaign contributions to defeat pro-public education legislative candidates in Iowa [italics BFIA's]. Nationally, Michelle Rhee, the Founder and CEO of Students First, has been embroiled in scandal, having been accused of failing to act to prevent "widespread cheating" while Chancellor of Washington, DC public schools.
More recently, Rhee and Students First honored Tennessee State Representative John Ragan as "Reformer of the Year" despite Ragan's attempts to exempt "religious or political bullying" from a measure to prevent anti-gay harassment in schools. Ragan also co-sponsored legislation that would have forced teachers and school therapists to "out" students suspected of being gay to their parents.
"It is not surprising that Students First wants to attempt to expand their reach in Iowa after investing a considerable amount of money in last year's elections. What is surprising is that former Des Moines School Board member and co-owner of Link Strategies Patty Link is involved," said Matt Sinovic, executive director of Progress Iowa. "Iowa's educators, labor unions, and anyone paying attention to right-wing organizations and their undue influence in politics understand what Students First is all about. Michelle Rhee's controversial background and caustic influence on public education have no place in Iowa. Link would serve our state better if she denounced the Students First agenda and instead focused on promoting policies that truly further the best interest of Iowa students, rather than an out-of-state special interest group."

One Response to "Michelle Rhee Group Students First To "Increase Presence" In Iowa"
thank you so much for bringing this into the light. With patriotic names and stated altruistic goals, these right wing organizations slowly sneak in at the ground level and poison our governmental structures. Slowly they take over and what was once a robust and very public system becomes another company in some corporations portfolio.
All we can do is expose these people. Folks, it is up to you to get them out of office and out of public systems. The best place to start is with Branstad.

Seeing Carly Flynn as she cradles her baby boy, her two-year-old daughter playing happily at her feet, you'd never know anything was amiss. But when the Target presenter took baby Jude home from hospital nine months ago, little did she and her husband Dave know they were about to embark on the toughest six months of their lives.
"Jude's birth was pretty normal – a two-hour labour, and out popped my baby with a full mop of hair, looking identical to his sister Tilly," recalls Carly (34) as Jude gurgles nearby. "Then the screaming started. That first night he was fine, but the next day he started and it didn't stop – he screamed all day, every day, for six months. It was heartbreaking."
Unlike many newborns who suffer intermittent tummy discomfort in the early weeks, there were no breaks in Jude's incessant screams. The midwives at the hospital were quick to come up with the usual suggestions – bathing, patting, swaddling and feeding – but it was clear early on all was not well with the tiny tot.
"I'd had to give him CPR after he was born because the fast birth meant his airways hadn't cleared in time, which was just horrible, but we knew that wasn't causing the problem," remembers Carly.
"This was different. He'd sleep at night and only wake for feeds because he was so exhausted, but as soon as he woke up, he'd scream and scream until he was blue in the face. Nothing would soothe him – a bath would calm him for a few minutes, but it would soon start again."
While Carly is quick to acknowledge all newborns bring their challenges, she knew this was different. "I had a 19-month-old – I was pretty well-versed in a new baby's needs and this wasn't right," she says. "Nobody could believe how bad the screaming was – I remember ringing Mum in Taupo and telling her.
"She told me not to be silly, that he couldn't actually scream all day. Then she came to visit – and left two days later, completely shell-shocked."
Carly and Dave soon realised they needed help and thus began a seemingly endless stream of appointments with doctors and specialists that cost them thousands of dollars – and solved nothing. "Appointments were the only places we ever went," says Carly. "Dave and I both prefer holistic treatments to conventional ones as a rule, but we tried everything."
Three GPs, two cranial osteopaths, two paediatricians, a chiropractor, a kinesiologist, Plunket, baby whisperer Dorothy Waide and a food intolerance specialist were all consulted. The couple were given a range of advice, including the frequent suggestion that Jude had colic and reflux that he'd soon grow out of.
Carly, who has breastfed Jude since birth, also switched her diet to avoid any foods that may have been the cause of her baby's agony. "At one point I was following so many lists of what I couldn't eat that if I'd stuck to them all I would have been eating is tuna," she says.
"The problem with seeking so many opinions is you get so many different answers. But I couldn't leave it – I wasn't prepared to accept he was an unsettled baby."
Although some treatments gave respite, nothing worked long-term. "Every now and again something would calm him and we'd dare to hope – and then it'd revert back. "The feeling of helplessness – that we couldn't help our little baby, who was obviously in pain – was just horrendous," says Carly, tears welling as she recalls the awful time.
For five and a half months, Carly's life was on hold. "I couldn't go anywhere with him," she says. "I didn't go to the supermarket, we didn't go to the park, to friends' houses. The only place I ever went was work, for a few hours a week.
"Target was my solace, where I'd brush my hair, put on nice clothes and leave the house, while my poor husband looked after Tilly and Jude. I'd have some adult conversations and fake that everything was okay, pretend things at home weren't a nightmare."
But they were. "Dave's work had pretty much halted because home was too much for one person to cope with. We were so tired there was no time for anything apart from looking after the kids."
Finally – exhausted, frustrated and terrified – Carly and Dave contacted a local acupuncturist Dorothy Waide recommended and their lives changed. "He was phenomenal," says Carly. "We'd put so many doctors' fees on the credit card, and Dave was unsure about adding another one to the list, but I had to keep going."
Carly was told her son had an inflamed liver and stomach, a fairly common condition that could be treated easily. "The change was instant," says Carly, smiling at her boy, who now shows no sign of the tough start he had in life.
"While the paediatrician had said Jude would have to be on medication for weeks or months, in less than a fortnight, he was completely fine. "It's ironic, the man that stuck needles into my baby is the one that got the coos and gurgles!"
While Carly knows the treatment that worked for Jude isn't a cure-all for everybody, she is deeply grateful and relieved her baby is pain free.
"For months, I was a frazzled mum. It was really hard for all of us to cope. Now we can get on with being a normal family again," she says. And Jude? "Completely repaired," she smiles. "He's still a bit clingy because I had to hold him so much, and he cries, but he's a baby. That's just what they do."

On Saturday night (Nov. 10, 2012) at the Seneca Niagara Casino Hotel and Event Center, Niagara University celebrated a fundraising milestone and honored two families with longstanding ties to the Buffalo-Niagara region.
More than 400 Niagara alumni, students, colleagues and friends were present for the ninth annual President's Scholarship Dinner, where it was announced that the university had surpassed the $1 million mark in net revenue raised for student scholarships since the event was instituted in 2004.
Click here to view the gallery of photos from the event.
"That is a remarkable accomplishment and a testament to the generosity of each and every one of you. Thank you," the Rev. Joseph L. Levesque, C.M., NU president, told attendees. "These are impressive figures, numbers that we are quite proud of, but we, as a university, must continue to do more. We must do more to offset the rising cost of education. We must do more to help those who have been adversely affected by the economy, leaving them less flexibility to afford a college degree. We must do more because it is part of our heritage – it is what St. Vincent taught us to do."
Fittingly, during the event, Niagara presented the St. Vincent de Paul Award to the Castellani family as well as Harold and Rose Brown and their children. The award is conferred upon individuals "whose vision, accomplishments and good works reflect the life and ministry of St. Vincent de Paul."
Armand Castellani was the chairman and chief executive officer of Tops Markets, formerly of Niagara Frontier Services Inc. He was twice named an Outstanding Citizen by The Buffalo News, and twice honored by the National Conference of Community Justice. Armand has received numerous other awards for his success in business, community involvement and as a patron of the arts. Armand received the honorary degree of doctor of commercial science from Niagara in 1964, and he and his wife, Eleanor, received the university's President's Medal in 1990. Armand is the founder of the Castellani Art Museum, which opened on Niagara's DeVeaux campus in 1978. The present museum, a 23,000-square-foot facility, opened on the main campus in 1990. Armand and Eleanor's 11 children have followed in their footsteps, supporting numerous community-minded organizations, including Niagara Hospice, the United Way and Niagara University. In light of their philanthropy, the Castellani children were presented with Niagara University's Founder's Award in 2001.
Harold Brown earned an accounting degree from Niagara in 1948. While he was an undergraduate, he became close with the Vincentian priests and brothers, who allowed him to pay for much of his tuition through the work-study program. Rose, a SUNY Brockport graduate, came from a strong Italian family in Niagara Falls. She taught for years in the Niagara Falls City School District. Six of the couple's eight children are Niagara University graduates, as are five of their grandchildren. Harold and Rose were active in numerous parent/teacher groups, the Rotary Club, the Health Association of Niagara County, the United Way, the Knights of Columbus, and many others. Their children are also involved in dozens of nonprofits, especially in Niagara County.
Christopher Ross, a member of Niagara University's Board of Trustees, and his wife, Mary, served as the dinner's chair couple. The Rosses received undergraduate degrees from Niagara University in 1982.
Maryalice Demler, a member of Niagara University's class of 1986 and anchor at WGRZ-TV Channel 2, was the mistress of ceremonies. Attendees also heard remarks from current student James Tipa and were treated to a rendition of The Impossible Dream by theatre major Alex Garcia.
The purpose of the President's Scholarship Dinner is to generate funds for scholarship assistance for qualified Niagara University students. During the 2011-2012 academic year, 98 percent of undergraduate students received scholarship assistance from the university that totaled $35,118,000. During that same period, 361 undergraduates received endowed scholarships totaling $1,059,912.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- The University of Michigan men's basketball team dropped its fourth conference game to Illinois this afternoon (Saturday, Jan. 31) at Assembly Hall by a score of 67-52. A key in the game was Michigan's shooting struggles as the team went just 18-for-51 (.353) from the field and 13-for-22 (.591) from the line. Senior forward Bernard Robinson Jr. (Washington D.C./New Hampton Prep, N.H.) had an impressive overall game, however, scoring 14 points and coming down with six boards. His performance was rounded out with three assists and three steals.
Sophomore guard Lester Abram (Pontiac, Mich./Northern HS) was the only other player to score in double digits for the Wolverines, putting up 12 points and coming down with nine rebounds. Freshman forward Brent Petway (McDonough, Ga./Griffin HS) played a season-high 21 minutes and had an impressive game, contributed six points, all coming via the slam dunk.
The first half began with Illinois jumping on top 5-0, but the Wolverines (12-5, 3-4 Big Ten) were quick to respond. Freshman forward Courtney Sims (Roslindale, Mass./Noble & Greenough School) got off to a good start, taking a feed from Abram to the basket with an electrifying slam to put Michigan within one. After Illinois established the early lead, Michigan fought back to tighten the score. With 11 minutes remaining in the half, the Wolverines were down 14-13 after a quick jumper by Robinson.
The Fighting Illini responded by putting distance between the scores, throwing nine points on the board against Michigan's three. The Wolverines showed life with 7:44 left in the half, going on a five-minute, 9-3 run to bring Michigan with three points of Illinois, 26-23.
Though the Wolverines would not get the lead throughout the half, they were able to keep the score tight thanks to good defense and consistent scoring. The Maize and Blue continued to play strong throughout the half, but free throw and three-point shooting proved to be a problem. The Wolverines missed all seven three-point attempts, while the Illini were able to hit five triples. U-M also went just 7-for-13 from the line, and the six missed attempts proved to be a key factor in the half as the two teams went into the locker rooms with the Illini up 31-25.
The second half did not show much promise for Michigan as Illinois picked up its scoring where it left off. The Illini went to work maintaining their lead, going on a 13-3 run for a 48-35 lead with 9:37 remaining in the contest. Michigan showed signs of a comeback, making an attempt to get back in the thick of things with the help of Robinson, who hit back-to-back hoops for a quick five points.
But Illinois was not giving Michigan a window of opportunity to come back, as the Illini stayed on target with their shots. The Wolverines continued to have trouble with three-point attempts, going just 3-for-19 (.158) for the contest against the Illini's 10-for-27 (.370). Turnovers also proved troublesome with Michigan's rushed shots contributing to 18 turnovers against Illinois' nine. Because of problems setting up the offense, the Wolverines could not get anything going.
With Illinois leading 50-44 and 6:16 left in regulation, the Illini put the game away. They rattled off a quick seven points for their biggest lead of the afternoon (57-44). Abram responded by hitting two free throws and a triple, but it was too little too late for the Wolverines.
Michigan will have six days off before taking on Purdue Saturday (Feb. 7) at Crisler Arena. The ESPN-Plus game is scheduled for a 12:17 p.m. tipoff.

FS: Canon EF-S 18-200mm F3.5-5.6 IS
3 Attachment(s)
Hello everyone, I've had this lens for a couple of months and I have barely used it. It serves no purpose to me really and I thought why not pass it along to someone that can get full use of it...
It's in mind condition... I am also including a UV Hoya 72mm filter for free with it.
I am asking $500 for it. I think it's a fair price for the condition and the fact that it hasn't been used really. B&H sells it $699 new...
*Free shipping
Thank you!

Go to Hoboken... Just Don't Drive There
At 8 o'clock on the dot, residents parked along Washington Street in Hoboken, N.J. back their cars out of the angle-parking spots, and idle in the middle of the road. They're bundled up in pajamas with a cup of coffee or in a business suit eating a breakfast sandwich.
The street sweeper goes by, and one by one, residents pull back into those angle spots.
"It was planned very perfect because let me tell you, you leave it for 5 min, they'll give you a ticket," says resident Freddie Flores. "Forty-five bucks they charge you. I remember when it used to be $15."
To park for more than four hours anywhere in Hoboken you need a parking permit.
More than 15,000 permits have been issued this year for less than 9,000 street parking spots, which means some residents have to park in a neighboring city and cab back to Hoboken.
Some of the temporary parking permits may not be active on any given day.
As of October of this year, the city has generated $150,000 in residential parking permit fees and more than $3.5 million in parking tickets – issued whenever residents park during street sweeping.
Last year the city collected $4.6 million in tickets.
Trenton keeps $11.50 of each parking summons, and the rest goes to Hoboken's general fund.
Hoboken is just one square mile in size, and street cleaning rules leave several blocks unavailable for parking every day. Hoboken City Council member Ravinder Balla says sometimes there is no other option but to park illegally.
"That's not unheard of for both myself and other residents," Balla says. "But we always try our best to find parking, and legal parking, too."
And some residents say it may be time to re-evaluate how much street sweeping there is.
"They used to do the sweeping only once a week on Washington Street," says Flores, who has lived in Hoboken for 56 years. "Now they do it every day, every day, every day."
Resident Kristin Stahl says she has had a lot of time to watch the street being cleaned.
"And it really doesn't do all that much," says Stahl. "It just kind of pushes around leaves and debris and doesn't really do anything. It's not like a vacuum."
When the truck passes, it leaves two large streaks of debris behind.
But reducing street sweeping, and making it easier to park, wouldn't necessarily solve the parking congestion, says Rachel Weinberger. She's a parking expert with Nelson/Nygaard Consulting Associates.
"When you make it easier to own [cars], you're going to get more car ownership," Weinberger says.
Only 20-percent of Hoboken residents own a car – the same percentage as Manhattan households. And Weinberger says the city has to balance the needs of all residents.
"If it's a parking lane it's not a bike lane. If it's a parking location it's not a bus stop. So there are lots of demands that are made on the curb," she says.
It's a problem for any desirable city. Hoboken attracts a lot of visitors from all over Jersey. And it has among the highest number of bars per square mile in the country... which is the other big parking issue in the city.
The mayor of Hoboken, Dawn Zimmer, says she is trying to create a parking master plan to ease some of the frustration and meet more of the demand.
"We can try to incorporate adding more parking garages," Zimmer says.
She has already added 850 street parking spots at corners and through multi-space meters.
But she has focused on encouraging residents to ditch their cars by bringing in a bike-sharing program, bike rentals and cars you can rent by the hour and by the day.
She says her goal is to make it easier for residents and visitors to park, "and then get around the city in a different way."
For now though, you may have to kiss your bumpers goodbye; accept that the face of a leprechaun could be carved on the hood of your car; and, invest in strong tape to hold your busted rear view mirrors up.

text: I was born and raised in the California Central Valley. Since 2000, I have been protecting the rights of the criminally accused throughout Fresno County. For approximately eight years I was a Deputy District Attorney in Fresno and served as the President of the Fresno County Prosecutors Association. During my time with the District Attorney's office I gained invaluable insight into how both sides of the courtroom operate. Prosecuting everything from misdemeanor offenses to felonies, I was assigned to a special group that handled repeat DUI offenders and those facing DUI charges that ended in injury or wrongful death. I prosecuted over 200 felony DUI cases and now have the strategies necessary to know how the other side thinks when trying to convict an individual. Focusing 100% of my efforts towards criminal law and litigation, there is no case too complex for me and my team to handle. Recently, I was included in the list of Northern California's Super Lawyers® Rising StarsSM in 2009, 2010 and 2012. This is an honor bestowed on less than 2.5% of lawyers in the entire state. Additionally, after qualifying under various requirements by the State Bar of California, demonstrating legal experience and passing examinations, I have become certified as a Criminal Law Specialist. My dedication to my clients goes above and beyond what is expected. If you should choose to work with me as your Fresno criminal defense lawyer, I will strive to do everything in power to provide you with a positive case result.

Yesterday I brought this little girl home from Paws Chicago! I had been looking at cats online for a few weeks and saw this little cutie was a new cat on the Paws website Thursday…I was bowled over by Romi's cuteness and had to take a look! Luke was late coming back from Champaign yesterday, so he told my sister and I to go over to Paws and check her out, and if she was the coolest cat ever, to get her. So we went over to Target to re-stock on some cat things and get a few new toys in case we brought Romi home with us then treked over to Paws. Upon arrival we filled out the paperwork and surveys necessary to meet the kitties and asked to see Romi, but nobody knew what we were talking about! AHHH!!!! We decided to meet the kitties they had anyway and fell for this little lady they called Anna. Kari and I decided that Anna was pretty boss and took her home, but when we got home, Kari looked Romi up online and discovered that Anna was actually Romi! The girl at Paws mentioned that they had just given her this name the day before when they pulled her from their other facility, so the names had just gotten mixed up! OMG I took Romi home thinking she was a different cat, now that's meant to be.
**I'm pretty sure that was the most confusing story ever told, but I'm still excited, so please let that slide!
