Partial Birth Abortion
What is partial-birth abortion?
In a partial-birth abortion, known also as intact dilation and extraction, or D & X.. the abortionist, guided by ultrasound, uses forceps to pull the baby through the birth canal feet first except for the head.
The abortionist jams scissors into the babys head and opens them to enlarge the hole. A suction tube is inserted into the babys skull and his brains are suctioned out.
The dead baby is then removed. Partial-birth abortion is performed on unborn babies from four and one half months gestation sometimes as late as six months, seven months or later.
Dr. Watson A. Bowes testified in recent hearings on partial-birth abortion, that he knew of no instance where the procedure has been needed to protect the health of the mother. Dr. Bowes is professor emeritus of obstetrics & gynecology at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. One mother recently wrote an article for NRL News stating that she had severe preeclampsia (a condition for which some think a partial-birth abortion is needed.) Instead her pregnancy was ended by an emergency Caesarean section. Her son had to struggle for life, but won and is now a healthy teenager. While the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act was signed by President Bush in November of 2003, it has not been enforced because three judges in Lincoln, Nebraska, New York, NY and San Francisco, CA have agreed to hear evidence in non-jury trials on whether the ban violates the U.S. Constitution. The Bush administration has argued that partial-birth abortion is inhumane and gruesome and causes the fetus to suffer pain.

Most Americans do not realize that abortion is legal in late pregnancy. A child of seven months gestation who is wanted by his parents will be taken to the neonatal intensive care unit while another child not wanted by his mother can be aborted. Many unborn children have survived an early delivery, probably even someone you know. Some unborn children have survived at a very early age including Kenya King, born in Orlando, Florida at 21 weeks gestation, just 4 and 1/2 months from her mothers last menstrual period.
Dr. & Mrs. Jack Wilke in Abortion Questions and Answers lists eleven children born between 19 and 24 weeks gestation as reported by newspapers like the Houston Post, the Washington Post, the Cincinnati Enquirer, Associated Press and others. Almost any hospital with a neonatal intensive care unit will have survivors of premature births.
Where is the justice or common sense in aborting children who are capable of surviving outside the womb, especially when there are millions of couples waiting for a baby to adopt?
Senate Gives Final Approval to Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act
October 21, 2003
The Senate gave final approval to the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act on October 21, 2003 by a vote of 64 to 33. The bill was sponsored by Pennsylvanias Senator Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) and Congressman Steve Chabot (R-Ohio).
Banning the late-term abortion procedure where the living baby is delivered feet first outside the body of the mother before he is killed, has been a priority of many pro-life organizations since 1995. The bill contains an exception if the method was ever necessary to save the life of the mother. The bill was then signed by President Bush on Nov. 5, 2003.
House Passes Partial-Birth Abortion Ban
October 2, 2003
By a 282-139 vote, the U.S. House of Representatives joined its Senate colleagues in passing what would amount to a ban on the heinous partial-birth abortion procedure. Partial- birth abortion is defined as the process by which a babys brain is removed after that child has partially left the birth canal. Minor differences in the House and Senate versions were resolved in conference committee. President Bush pledged to sign it into law. (see Bush Signs...) Included in this bill is a provision whereby an abortionist could be sentenced to two years in prison for knowingly violating the law.
President Bush Signs Partial Birth Abortion Ban
November 5, 2003
President Bush signed the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003 on November 5, 2003 in the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington D.C. before an enthusiastic audience of 400 people. The following are excerpts of the Presidents speech.
Im pleased that all of you have joined us as the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003 becomes the law of the land. For years, a terrible form of violence has been directed against children who are inches from birth, while the law looked the other way. Today, at last, the American people and our government have confronted the violence and come to the defense of the innocent child. ... Many of you have worked long and hard to see this bill come to fruition, and we thank you for your efforts. (The President went on to thank the principal lawmakers and others who helped to pass the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003)
In passing this legislation, members of the House and Senate made a studied decision based upon compelling evidence. The best case against partial birth abortion is a simple description of what happens and to whom it happens. It involves the partial delivery of a live boy or girl, and a sudden, violent end of that life. Our nation owes its children a different and better welcome. The bill I am about to sign protecting innocent new life from this practice reflects the humanity and compassion of America.
Each year, thousands of partial birth abortions are committed. As Doctor C. Everett Koop, the pediatrician and former Surgeon General has pointed out, the majority of partial birth abortions are not required by medical emergency. As Congress has found, the practice is widely regarded within the medical profession as unnecessary, not only cruel to the child, but harmful to the mother, and a violation of medical ethics.
The facts about partial birth abortion are troubling and tragic, and no lawyers brief can make them seem otherwise. By acting to prevent this practice, the elected branches of our government have affirmed a basic standard of humanity, the duty of the strong to protect the weak. The wide agreement amongst men and women on this issue regardless of political party government is to defend the life of the innocent. Every person, however frail or vulnerable, has a place and a purpose in this world. Every person has a special dignity. This right to life cannot be granted or denied by government, because it does not come from government, it comes from the Creator of life.
In the debate about the rights of the unborn, we are asked to broaden the circle of moral concern. Were asked to live out our calling as Americans. Were asked to honor our own standards, announced on the day of our founding in the Declaration of Independence... Were asked by our convictions and tradition and compassion to build a culture of life and make this a more just and welcoming society. And today we welcome vulnerable children into the care and protection of Americans.
The late Pennsylvania Governor Robert Casey once said that when we look to the unborn child, the real issue is not when life begins, but when love begins. This is the generous and merciful spirit of our country at its best. This spirit is reflected in the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003, which I am now honored to sign into law. God Bless. The bill is signed. (Applause.) Thank you, all.
Santorum Claims Victory on Passage of Partial-Birth Abortion Ban
March 13, 2003- U.S. Senator Rick Santorum (R-Pa.), chairman of the Senate Republican Conference proclaimed a victory for human life as the U.S. Senate passed the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003 in a 64-33 vote. "Today, we have reached a significant milestone as we continue to build a more compassionate society and a culture that values every human life," said Senator Santorum. "I am certain that my colleagues in the House of Representatives will pass this Act and the President will sign it into law. Futhermore, I am confident the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003 includes factual findings of Congress that clearly show that a partial-birth abortion is never medically necessary to preserve a woman's health, and should be banned."
"Partial-Birth Abortion is never medically necessary to protect a mother's health or fertility," said former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop in 1997. "On the contrary, this procedure can cause a serious threat to both."
Legislation banning partial-birth abortion was approved by the 104th, 105th, and 106th Congress. In the 104th and 105th Congress, President Clinton vetoed the bill and the Senate was unable to override the veto while the House did vote to override. In the 106th Congress, the House and Senate again passed the bill and no further action took place. In the 107th Congress, the House again passed the bill banning partial-birth abortion, unfortunately the Senate was unable to consider the Bill during the 107th Congress due to objections being raised.
"The National Right to Life Committee commends the tireless efforts of Senator Rick Santorum, over the past seven years, to put an end to the brutal practice of partial-birth abortion." said Douglas Johnson, Legislative director of National Right to Life Committee.
"Senator Santorum had done a tremendous job guiding this critical legislation through the Senate," said Congressman Steve Chabot (R-Ohio). "We are determined to move ahead quickly in the House, and I fully expect that our efforts will again receive strong bipartisan support."
Forty-nine Republicans and sixteen Democrats voted for the partial-birth abortion ban.
Pennsylvania's two Republican Senators, Santorum and Specter, voted to ban partial-birth abortion. Democrat Tom Daschle also voted for the ban.
Twenty-nine Senate Democrats voted for the gruesome practice of partial-birth abortion including Senators Hillary Clinton, Joe Lieberman, Tom Harkin and Steve Lautenberg.
Three Senate Republicans and one Independent cast pro-abortion votes. Senators Biden, Edwards and Kerry did not vote.

"A separate Rand Corp. study found that about 800 billion barrels of oil shale in Wyoming and neighboring states is "technically recoverable," which means it could be extracted using existing technology. That's more than triple the known reserves in Saudi Arabia.
All told, the U.S. has access to 400 billion barrels of crude that could be recovered using existing drilling technologies, according to a 2006 Energy Department report.
When you include oil shale, the U.S. has 1.4 trillion barrels of technically recoverable oil, according to the Institute for Energy Research, enough to meet all U.S. oil needs for about the next 200 years, without any imports.
And even this number could be low, since such estimates tend to go up over time..." (Source)

It's important to cherish time with children before they leave the nest
It has been a total of eight months since I moved back here to the mountains, and since I began writing a column. In those eight months, many wonderful things have happened to me, including rekindling friendships; immersing myself in the community; and just plain enjoying life again.
One thing, however, that hasn't happened is me writing about my second daughter, London, in any of my articles. Though I've written about my eldest, Brandi, and the way she has helped me with my recovery by steering me back to my faith, I've not spent any time talking about London. And, she politely reminds me every time I write a column. In fact, her last comment was, "dad, when does the column about me get written?"
But, to my defense, I really didn't have a reason to write about her. You see, when your sons or daughters are around you all the time, you kind of take them for granted. They're always at the table for meals. Usually complaining that there isn't anything to eat in the house, and tapping away on the screen of their iPhone.
But, recently we have been talking about college for her. And, it hit me. I've got but one more high school year with her and she's gone. Just like Brandi, I'll be missing another of my beautiful daughters. Off to live, learn and make mistakes. All designed to shape them into who they will become.
What brought about this thought process in my mind so far from her graduation date? A trip to a college this weekend to experience a swimming program that has shown some interest in her. I pictured her as one of the swimmers, and I talked to many parents. What I took from it was that she will be well taken care of in her new "family," but each and every one of the parents missed their child.
Last night, as I began to prepare to go to bed, I just couldn't help but think of the sadness I will feel when she is gone. Just like the feeling I had when her older sister left, I will again have to make an adjustment to my mental psyche. Knowing she is out there somewhere without her daddy right beside her is scary for me. All of you who have children ready to go to college know what I'm talking about. It's a scary type of sadness, mixed in with a touch of excitement for them as they venture out on their own.
Since she has been 6, London has always been close to her daddy. She began her swimming career at that time, so we have been traveling to all parts of the country, spending lots of time as a family in hotel rooms, and sitting through countless swim meets. I'm not complaining at all, as I realize that what we have had as a family for these 10 years is a way to bond like many families never do. Sure we have our occasional flare-ups. Especially when I pretend I know something about swimming. But, all in all, it has been a good time — one that I will terribly miss when she leaves for college.
I know parents never enjoy seeing their child leave the proverbial "nest," and this will be no exception.
We have a whole list of colleges that London wants to tour to find the right fit for her swimming career. As each one comes and goes, I will get that same funny feeling in my stomach.
But, as my eldest has taught me, God, who has been helping me be a daddy all these years, will take over a little more of those duties in my absence. So, knowing that fact, which is assured to me through my faith, I am not the least bit worried about her well-being. I'm just going to miss the simple things I take for granted. Like watching "Say Yes to the Dress" or "Dance Moms," two shows I detest. But, because my girls like watching them, I sit right next to them and watch as well.
So, I told myself last night that I'm not going to take anything for granted with London for the next year-and-a-half. I am going to enjoy every minute we have left under the same roof, and hopefully our bond will stay strong forever. And, I'm going to continue to strengthen the bond I have with the two remaining children I have left, Kiana and Easton.
Because once London is gone, I get to focus on her younger sister Kiana, who in a few short years, will be making me go through the same emotional rollercoaster. She, too, is a swimmer, so we will still get to spend that quality time together.
I know letting go is part of being a dad. But, I find it one of the most difficult tests God gives me. If it weren't for the faith I have that He will protect, guide and nurture our children, I don't think I could get through it without medication.
It's a good thing God decided to give me a son who is going to be around for quite some time. I guess He knew that I was the kind of father that needs to have the love and camaraderie of my children to make me complete. And, I know that once they are gone, I'll be just fine.
So, London, here's your column. I am looking forward to the time we have left together, and I know I can't slow it down. But, I promise you that I will be there for you every step of the way, and hope you will enjoy this time together as much as I will.

Letters to the Editor for April 7
Friends, family will miss Peggy Wagner
I am sickened by the senseless killing of my dear friend Peggy Wagner, who was (hit) by an (alleged) drunken driver on March 31. Peggy was a mother, daughter, sister and friend to all who knew her and deserved the right to drive our streets without having to worry about her life being cut short by someone who had no self control or regard for others.
Peggy always had a joke to share or a funny story to tell. She was kind, caring, loving, genuine and was enjoying her life to the fullest when it was abruptly cut short.
I have no sympathy at all for the man who (hit) her, and can only hope that the laws regarding drunken driving be tightened to the max. I am sick of hearing stories like these. I am weary of our apparent 'revolving door' policy that enables these drunks to be back on the street to kill their innocent victims, who also happen to be our cherished loved ones.
My heart goes out to Peggy's family and coworkers who are still reeling from the shock of losing such a lovely lady. Peggy, you will be greatly missed.

The comments received on the horse center closing are all very meaningful (Outlook March 31 and April 4). Some talk about history and others about the welfare of our children and the benefits to having a horse related lifestyle vs. boredom, inactivity and dormant minds.
I am the state chairwoman for Oregon High School Equestrian Teams. We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to the youth of our communities. Facilities like the Northwest Equestrian Center are a precious commodity to our members. We have 1,200 athletes around the state of Oregon who practice, train and compete at these facilities. Closing down or demolishing this arena and stalls would be like taking the only park or recreation center away from the youth in that area. Parents with young children have been known to leave areas where there are no facilities for healthy sport activities. This really is not just about horses … it is about a well-rounded environment for our children. Whether families participate in horse activities or not is way down on the list. That the facility is part of the community appeal is definitely more meaningful. A well-rounded community is where people want to live.
OHSET has 25 competitions a year. We are a good group, well managed with volunteers, but moreover, every parent, coach, district management and state management person lives and does business in Oregon. Our state championship brings more than 900 room nights to the area in which we compete. We offer income to restaurants, tack shops, department stores and general businesses in every area of the state.
It is time that the adults in our communities realize that our youth is the future. If we continue to take the cultural and lifestyle-enhancing opportunities away from our high school athletes, the future is less than bright. I have learned so much from the young people in Oregon. They are smart, savvy and fair-minded. OHSET is a vehicle for them to become leaders through sportsmanship, rules and healthy competition. Do not take the facilities for this nurturing out of the area. Think about all the other 'activities' that will lure our youth into not so acceptable lifestyles.
We need the Northwest Equestrian Center. Please pass this information on to the new owners. The community is a better place for all with this facility as a working part of our way of life.

Cowboy administration without honor, integrity
I felt compelled to write the newspaper to express my disappointment and shame in the Bush administration. I read/watch the news day after day, scandal after scandal and I feel shame for them. This administration lacks honor, honesty and integrity, period. The people of the United States are currently seen across the world as cowboys and barbarians because Bush and his administration act selfishly, without integrity, without honesty and without honor.
It is the responsibility of the president of the United States and his administration to act responsibly. It is time for this cowboy to begin to do so.

Technology knows no bounds
I noticed today while sitting at my computer that out the window in my front yard, some apparent vagrants appearing as a prison work gang are wondering around the lawn as if lost. As I go out to ponder this, I find that they have been digging and chiseling up my lawn to lay a cable for the neighbor's house.
As I stand there in my yard surveying this, the workers in dirty plain clothes with no company logos, nor is the vehicle marked, ignore me until I ask them what they are doing as I nearly step into a hole in my front lawn where a loose manhole cover will now be displayed permanently. Why it does not go through his yard, I do not understand. I ask them to explain and my neighbor, as the new customer standing there, obviously sheepishly embarrassed as to [my] yard being cut up, nods an acknowledged hello. They tell me something about the commercial placement of utility lines and that's the way it is.
As a defense, the worker points to other worse telltale signs in the street since Verizon was just here doing the same. The streets and the yards look like a badly installed computer system now. Patches and holes and boxes, connections strewn everywhere. Little manhole covers in park strips, some randomly in yards with no apparent sensible continuity.
There is a now a new small manhole cover in my front lawn for the neighbor's sake, for what? So he can have more TV channels or his child can become the next generation attached to a permanent online computer? They did not even ask or tell me before they cut up the yard.
As I ask them if I get some free service in exchange, they say with a smirk, well you'll have to pay for it.
I tell them thanks and go inside to call Comcast. On the phone, again the secretary tells me that Verizon did the same to her yard, as defense against Comcast, I assume? She transfers me to the boss. I tell him I asked the field supervisor in my yard, who in turn asks [me] why no one informed me as to their work. The office manager was congenial and apologetic, but when I asked him why a billion dollar company would have guys who look unidentified like criminals; no logo, no uniforms; tossing cigarette butts into the yard while they work, who could not have just knocked on the door and asked before cutting up my yard? As far as I know they might have cut into my new park strip tree roots that I recently planted.
This is the new technology. We will boldly go where we have before. Through neighbor's lawns and property and personal space to deliver another craved entertainment media product for sale because we can. Technology boldly goes where it knows no bounds.

Reader thinks vigils play into enemies' hands
In his reply to a letter I wrote about a recent 'Peace Vigil' held locally, Pastor Larry Jorgenson of Trinity Lutheran Church attempts to take me to task for not knowing the difference between 'Peace' and 'Pacifism.'
No offense intended to your position pastor, but I know that difference very well. I have fought for my country, during the Vietnam War. Before I went to war, I was a member of the military organization most responsible for 'Peace,' the Strategic Air Command of the U.S. Air Force. I was a navigator on a nuclear response bomber.
During the period before my war duties, I carefully observed how 'peaceful' people, such as devoted Christians, became complete tools of the anti-war crowd, who were the 'pacifists,' or claimed to be. Actually, they worked directly for our enemy and should have been labeled as such.
Today's 'peace' marchers and vigil-keepers have fallen into exactly the same logical and philosophical trap as did their forebears 35 years ago. They have become tools of our very un-Christian enemy, the radical Islamists.
I believe your sect has a tradition of recognizing that there is evil in the world, pastor. If you cannot look at the evil part of Islam and see that it is our sworn enemy and surely the enemy of souls, then perhaps you might look in a mirror and ask yourself if you are protecting your flock as best you might. Having your flock play into the hands of the sworn enemy does not seem to be the way to save their mortal souls.

After telling the story of how he overcame an inner-city background to become a world renowned neurosurgeon (Gifted Hands), Dr. Ben Carson now gives an inspirational look at the philosophy of life that helped him meet life's obstacles - and leap over them.
©2006 Ben Carson, M.D. (P)2008 Zondervan
I love AUDIBLE! I never get mad at traffic jams and can listen to many different books, despite of my short time.
I learned about Ben Carson by watching the great movie "Gifted Hands". His mother was married when she was 13 to a pastor, was a semi-illiterate woman, who discovered that her husband had another wife, ran away with her 2 small children and worked as a maid, many times in 2-3 jobs, and barely made it. When Ben, the younger kid, was in 5th grade, he was semi-illiterate himself, his best grade was a "D", couldn't do math and everyone made fun of him. Suddenly, his mother cut the TV time and made them read 2 books a week. This was the turning point to Ben and his brother. Ben Carson became the best in his class, graduated in Medicine from Yale University and went to the field of Neurosurgery in Johns Hopkins where he became the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery when he was only 33....
An excellent man, a superachiever. Read/ listen to the book and feel inspired.
"Great Book! Very open and exposing"
Dr. Ben Carson is an inspiring yet humble man that shares his heart throughout the book.
I read this book right after reading Gifted Hands and I enjoyed both . Parts of the story was duplicated in both books , but this went into details on how to reach your potential. I think it all makes sense and I will try to put these ideas into place and encourage my children and grandkids to be the best that they can be too!
"Not Honest"
It doesn't worth more than two stars because the book lacks honesty that it perches.
A very good book, everyone should read this book. It remind me of the many sayings that my mother also told me as a child growing up.
"True inspirational story"
A great example of how to succeed life.
I have learned a great deal from this book, and can recommend it to everyone.
"Loved it"
Throughout the book I continually felt inspired. I couldn't wait to turn back on the book to learn more about Ben Carson's life. Ben Carson's life story is so inspiring to people of all ages; well done Mr. Carson thank you
Outstanding worth listening to and good principles to live your life by. These are the eight remaining words I need.
"True Story with great life lessons!"
This true life biographee bears witness to the prayers of his mother and the ability to inspire your children through love and personal example
If you want to know how to overcome adversity or how to inspire your children this book has the answers!
"the world needs to THINK BIG!"
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Ben Carson is an inspiring doctor and his life story and philosophy is so refreshing! I've read this book as a teenager and now again as an adult too- it's been brilliant every time; there is something here for everyone.
Listen to this book- and get your children and your own parents to listen to it too!

Crying over money spent on this car and my obsession with hi-fi/ audiophile goodies
"I would buy that car if I was the sort of person who looked at my sister and thought, mmmmmm." -Jeremy Clarkson, referencing the Ford Mustang
First, I want to go back to a regular hood. I think the carbon fiber one that's on there doesn't look very good. And I've been told that if I'm keeping the stock turbo, going to an upgraded top mount inter cooler would be best. Other then that, I want it to be stage 2, lowered, different rims, and I'm not sure if I want to go wingless or keep the one that's on it.

Publication Date: 8/8/2003
Citation: LOGSDON, S.D. WATER INFILTRATION AND SOIL. ENCYCLOPEDIA OF WATER SCIENCE. 2003. P. 930-933. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Infiltration, the process of water entering the soil surface, is part of the water cycle. There are several types of infiltration models: physical-based, empirical-based, rainfall excess models, and approximate theory-based. The rate that water infiltrates the soil is affected by surface and subsurface soil properties, both of which are affected by management and natural phenomena. Infiltration varies within the landscape and over time as soil properties change. The type of infiltration measurement should relate to the application of the results.

he's lucky there wasn't more damage to the weapon AND himself. I have not used the ammo you mention but I hate any type of light loads. I'm glad the boys are OK. I'll bet both will be a little more attentive to loads that don't feel quite right from now on. It only takes seeing something like that once to really get your attention. I was shooting with a guy that was using some of his hand loads and for some reason was loading light. He had a squib and was about to fire again when several of us about dove on him. I've been around for a couple KB situations and hope to never see one again. Whenever I hear about one it makes me take pause.
Again. I'm am happy to hear the guys were not hurt. Shooting is a great sport/activity. But we have to be careful and always pay attention. I hope that thew new shooter was not put off by the experience.

Probe launched into poll leaflet
Date published: 22 May 2014
UKIP has launched an investigation into a controversial leaflet written by one of its Oldham candidates.
Joe Fitzpatrick, who is standing for election in St James ward, published a UKIP leaflet for Alexandra ward candidate Dave Carter featuring a seven-point plan on how to win an election.
The plan seemingly encourages voters to impersonate friends or relatives to get extra votes at polling stations, collect unused postal votes from family and friends and steal or swap postal votes.
Mr Fitzpatrick, who left the Labour party two years ago after the high-profile court case that led to former MP Phil Woolas being ousted from his Oldham East and Saddleworth seat, claims Labour and Lib Dems already carry out underhand voting tactics.
Oldham Council has reported the material to both police and the Electoral Commission and UKIP has distanced itself from the leaflet.
A UKIP spokesman said: "We have not, nor would, approve such literature and we are investigating the matter thoroughly followed by disciplinary process. The party does not endorse negative campaigning or inciting criminal behaviour."
I wonder if a probe will be launched into the folding of ballot papers very neatly along the line at the bottom, thus hiding the box for UKIP.
Even the biased BBC is carrying the story with reports of illegal practice in Carlisle, York, Hampshire and Dartford, Yorkshire and the Humber region.
It would be difficult to believe that this wasn't an orchestrated attempt to make voting for UKIP more difficult.
I don't condone any party stooping to such underhand tactics but as I remember there was more than a strong suspicion of postal voting fraud in the last council elections which came from certain areas of Oldham and was of benefit to one of the main parties. Postal voting should be consigned to history and a safer way found to help people who find it difficult to attend polling stations.
Why does this remind me of the NHS whistleblower? Oh yes, I remember now, the Labour Party attacked the person revealing the crime rather than tackling the crime itself.
@Flake - my god Flake, where does this stuff come from? You are suggesting that independent poll clerks across the country have been secretly trained to fold a ballot paper in a certain why to hide the UKIP box? Who trained them, maybe it was the second gun man who shot JFK?? Don't know how you believe the drivel you come out with. If you go to vote knowing you want to vote UKIP then surely you know there is a UKIP box somewhere on the paper
How shocking is this! SURELY things like this plan don't happen in our wonderfully inclusive country. Do they?

West Village
Downtown West, Houston Street to 14th Street, Seventh Avenue to the Hudson River.
The West Village (the extension of Greenwich Village west of Seventh Avenue) certainly follows its own jazzy rhythms. Spend a day browsing the West Village's bookstores, cozy cafes, and antique shops with all kinds of bric-a-brac for sale reminiscent of Paris. The apartments tend to have historic charm too, many with fireplaces and hidden gardens. Often the older buildings have been renovated, so behind many a landmark façade is a Bulthaup kitchen with a six-burner stove!

Domaine de la Mordoree Chateauneuf-du-Pape La Reine des Bois 2009
Rhone Red Blends from Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone, France
Winemaker's Notes
Cuvee de la Reine des Bois Chateauneuf-du-Pape has deep ruby red color and red fruit aromas leading to leather, black truffles and coffee notes. Fat and concentrated on the palate, with licorice and dark fruit flavors. Pairs well with game and red meats or cheeses.
Blend: 80% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre, 5% Syrah, 2.5% Vaccarese, 2.5% Counoise
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de la Reine des Bois is brilliant. A blend of 80% Grenache and the rest Mourvedre, Syrah and other approved varietals, it was aged in stainless steel (two-thirds) and smaller older barrels (one-third). Its inky purple color is followed by a gorgeous nose of blackberry and blueberry liqueur, lead pencil shavings, and a hint of raspberries. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated with abundant floral notes, stunning flavor depth, brilliant purity and sweet tannin, it will benefit from 3-4 years of bottle age (atypical for a 2009), and should drink well for 25+ years. "
International Wine Cellar - "Bright violet. Exhilarating, highly perfumed nose combines wild dark berries, smoky plum, cola and flowers. Impressively dense and sweet, with a surprising light touch to the intense black and red fruit flavors. A lively core of ripe acidity adds focus to a long, sappy finish. I really like this wine's blend of heft and finesse.
92-94 Points "
Wine Spectator - "Very youthful, with lots of exuberant, richly layered blackberry, boysenberry, cassis and plum fruit flavors. The solid structure is buried deep on the spice- and anise-filled finish. Flashy, but has the stuffing to unwind nicely in the cellar. Best from 2012 through 2025. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 2,000 cases made."
Wine Enthusiast - "As usual at this young age, the new oak used for aging this cuvee stands out a bit, giving the plummy fruit aromas a cedary, menthol-tinged veneer. But on the palate the wine shines, from its expansive, creamy mouthfeel to the captivating flavors of brandied cherries and powdered cinamon. Drink now-2020."

Domaine de la Mordoree Winery
Born from a deep-rooted winegrowing background, it was only in 1986 that the Domaine became entirely dedicated to a passion for wine. Consequently, the Domaine sold all other businesses in the field of hi-tech ventilated suits.
This choice was matured through long consideration and thought for both quality and environment-friendliness. The goal was clear: produce the best wine in each appellation, while preserving nature and man. La Mordoree therefore acquired new lands, broadening its vineyards and enriching its appellations with new cherished parcels of land. View all Domaine de la Mordoree Wines
About Chateauneuf-du-PapeView a map of Chateauneuf-du-Pape wineries (shah-too-NUHF due Pahp)Southern Rhone's landmark region, Chateauneuf du Pape, was the first region to gain AC status in France. That was the 1920s – it's history goes much further back than that. As the name suggests, the wine region was named after the "new papal home," referring to the period of time in the 1300's when the pope resided in Avignon instead of Rome.

Notable FactsThere are 13 allowed varieties in Chateauneuf du Pape (14 if you count Grenache Blanc separately from Grenache Noir). Grenache is the primary variety, followed by Syrah and Mourvedre as well as Cinsault. About 97% of the wines here are red, although many chateaux are producing whites ranging from quaffable to decadent and ageworthy. Reds from the best estates emit wonderful flavors of gamey spice, blackberries and currant, as well as the herbs and spices that are known to grow in the region.
Note on the soil: The grapes grow on soils covered in rounded, smooth stones called galets (gah-lay). The stones naturally cover most of the soils throughout Chateauneuf du Pape and are two fold in their duties. First, they are able to reflect and absorb the heat, to quicken the ripening of the grapes. They also help to hold in moisture so that the soils are not dried out by the hot Southern French sun.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

text: So last week I realized my true mechanical skill....I broke my A/C tensioner when attempting to replace the belt. I started to lower the tensioner bolt without loosening the bottom bolt. Once I realized it, immediately the bolt was bending enough that it pulled broke away from the bracket. (The bolt is still intact, but it took a piece of the bracket with it). So I need help on knowing the depth of my error. Do I just buy the bracket or is there something else I need?

Intra-district choice has long been a type of school choice supported by many people who don't really like school choice. Since neither students nor funding leave their boundaries, district officials have fewer problems allowing families to choose their schools. But intra-district choice is also complicated. A lack of quality information about available schools, the absence of a simple system-wide method of applying to those schools, and the added burden of transportation challenges can bring the potential of intra-district choice to a screeching halt. However, there are school districts that have taken these issues head-on and offered valuable, innovative solutions. Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS) is a shining example.
During the 2013–14 school year, CPS made the transition to high schools that serve students between the seventh and twelfth grades. CPS offers some compelling academic reasons for the switch, but they also utilized the transition to create high schools of choice. Instead of assigning sixth graders to a high school based on their home addresses, CPS permits students to choose their high school. Each high school offers a variety of programs, classes, extracurriculars, and services that represent unique learning environments and opportunities. All schools offer college preparatory curriculum aligned to Ohio's...
School Closures and Student Achievement: An Analysis of Ohio's Urban District and Charter Schools examines 198 school closures that occurred between 2006 and 2012 in the Ohio 'Big Eight' urban areas (Akron, Canton, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Toledo, and Youngstown). The research included 120 closed district-run schools and seventy-eight closed charter schools. Taken together, these closures directly affected 22,722 students—disproportionately low-income, low-achieving, and minority students—who were in grades 3-8 at the point of closure.
The study reveals that children displaced by closure make significant academic gains on state math and reading exams after their school closes.
Three years after closure, the research found that displaced students overall made the following cumulative gains:
Further, the study reveals that students who attended a higher-quality school after closure made even greater progress. Three years after closure, displaced students who transferred to a higher-quality school made the following cumulative gains:
Thank you Chair Hite, Vice Chair Sawyer, and subcommittee members for giving me the opportunity to testify today in support of House Bill 2 and Senate Bill 148.
My name is Chad Aldis. I am the vice president for Ohio policy and advocacy at the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, a nonprofit research and policy organization with offices in Columbus, Dayton, and Washington, D.C. It's worth noting, given the subject matter of my testimony, that Fordham's Dayton office is also a charter school sponsor.
I'd like to start by commending Governor Kasich and legislative leaders from both chambers and both parties for taking on the issue of charter school reform. Despite bipartisan support for charter schools in much of the nation, they remain a deeply divisive issue in Ohio. My hope is that this bill could start to change that. At the end of the day, we all want our students to have access to high-quality schools.
Organizationally, Fordham has long focused on the need to improve accountability and performance in all Ohio schools. Last year, after seeing an onslaught of troubling stories about charter schools, we commissioned research to learn more about the problems...
The process of reforming charter school law in Ohio took another big step forward last week with the introduction of S.B. 148 in the Ohio Senate. Jointly sponsored by Senator Peggy Lehner (R-Kettering) and Senator Tom Sawyer (D-Akron), the bill is the result of workgroup sessions over the last nine months to craft the best legislation possible to improve charter school oversight and accountability.
The new Senate bill follows on the heels of House Bill 2, a strong charter school reform measure passed by the House last month. The Senate proposal maintains many of the critical provisions that the House bill included and adds some additional measures. Specifically, the Senate bill:
We published a full roundup of press coverage of the rollout in a special edition of Gadfly Bites on April 16. Important highlights can be...
EDITOR'S NOTE: The original version of this commentary was published on EdReform Now's blog on April 8. The post contrasted innocent misunderstandings (using Allstate's elderly-woman-misunderstands-social-media esurance ad) to the more serious act of purposely leading people to misunderstandings. The post simply and succinctly clears the air about how school funding – especially for charter schools – actually works in Ohio.
When "policy experts" purposely mislead the public into misunderstandings about education and school funding, it isn't a humorous misunderstanding. It's appalling.
For example, charter school detractors promote the idea that charter schools exist to privatize education and make profits for greedy investors:
"[Mayor Emanuel] took money from these schools . . . and gave it to elite private schools founded by his big campaign contributors. I would stop privatizing our public schools."
- Jesus "Chuy" Garcia, Chicago Mayor election video
Actually, public charter schools are part of the public education system. They are approved and monitored by public entities. Nationally, nearly 90 percent are run by a non-profit organization (23% in Ohio). These non-profits are very much like other publicly-funded programs that serve children, such as Head Start centers.
Most egregious, however, is...
Rick Hess opens his book, The Same Thing Over and Over, by asking readers to imagine the following scenario:
How would you respond if asked for a plan to transform America's schools into a world-class, twenty-first century system?
Then imagine that there is one condition: you must retain the job descriptions, governance arrangements, management practices, compensation strategies, licensure requirements, and calendar of the existing system.
Hopefully, you would flee just as fast as you possibly could.
Red tape stifles innovation, dynamism, and entrepreneurship in public schooling, while creating a culture of risk aversion and defensiveness. These latter two are hardly the features of nimble organizations that can adapt to a changing world; rather, they are the marks of decaying institutions.
Here in Ohio, state leaders are taking note. On several occasions, both Governor John Kasich and Senate President Keith Faber have expressed their desire to "deregulate" public education. That is great news. Yet the task of deregulation is not a simple one. It requires carefully distinguishing the areas where the state has a valid regulatory role from those where it should defer to local, on-the-ground decision making.
The regulatory framework that we at Fordham have advocated...
We recently looked at an analysis of New Orleans school leaders' perceptions of competition and their responses to it. The top response was marketing—simply shouting louder to parents about a school's existing programs, or adding bells and whistles. If schools are academically strong, this is probably fine. But if academically weak schools can pump up their enrollment (and their funding streams) by simply touting themselves to parents more effectively than competing schools, then the intended effect of competition—improved performance among all players in the market—will be blunted or absent all together.
In New Orleans, it appears that the more intense competition is perceived to be, the more likely schools are to improve academic quality as a means of differentiation. Is a similar thing happening in the Buckeye State? Here's a look at some anecdotal evidence on quality-centered competition effects.
New school models
Large urban school districts in Ohio have long decried the students "stolen" from them by charter schools, and nothing rankles diehard traditionalists like online schools. So it was a little surprising to find that Akron City Schools' proposed 2015–16 budget contains a huge technology component, including plans to start an in-house online charter school....
It may not be obvious at first blush, but the political fight happening in New York right now over teacher evaluations has implications for Ohio. Governor Cuomo has proposed increasing the weight of a student's test scores to 50 percent of a teacher's evaluation, made possible by a proposed decrease in the weight of a principal's observations. Ohio Governor John Kasich hasn't proposed any significant changes to teacher evaluations this year, but consider this: both Ohio and New York do a poor job of objectively evaluating teachers who don't have grade- and subject-specific assessments, both states allow the unfair option of shared attribution, and stakeholders in each are questioning whether teacher evaluations give rise to extra hours of assessments that aren't meaningful for students. This leads to a big question: Is there a way to fix these problems?
Enter Educators 4 Excellence (E4E) and their alternative teacher evaluation framework. E4E is an organization comprised of former and current teachers. Its mission is to magnify teacher voices in policy and legislative arenas where educator views are often overlooked—despite the fact that ensuing decisions significantly impact the day-to-day lives of teachers. E4E supports teacher evaluations...
In Ohio and across the nation, charters have struggled to obtain adequate, appropriate space in which to operate. As competitors, districts have been reluctant to allow charters to operate in buildings that they own, whether through co-location in an open district school or taking residence in a shuttered school. But according to the latest report from the National Charter School Resource Center (NCSRC), a few states and cities have been proactive in helping charters access district facilities. The report, using charter survey data across fourteen states from 2007 to 2014, reveals that charters in California and New York—New York City, in particular—were most likely to operate in district-owned space. In California, nearly half (45 percent) of charters operated in district facilities, while 31 percent of New York charters did so. In New York City, 62 percent of the city's charters operated in a district facility, undoubtedly encouraged by the $1 rental fee that the district was permitted to charge charters (an innovation of former Mayor Michael Bloomberg's). The study also reported some variation in the financial arrangements between districts and charters: Of the charters that operated in a district-owned facility, 46 percent of them reported paying no fee to...
Discussion of charter schools is everywhere in the Ohio news. Everyone has an angle, including a few unexpected ones:

A Cozy Home Office at the Top of a Stairway Most families could use a home office; even if no one works from home on a regular basis, a home office provides a great space to take care of household business and other tasks. Many times a home office is set up in a spare bedroom, but if there is no extra bedroom space available you may think you don�t have the room for a home office. However, if you have two-story home the area at the top of your stairs could be a perfect location for a home office.
Make Freestanding Shelves look like Built-ins Built-in shelving gives a wonderful upscale look to a home whether it is a Craftsman style gem or a contemporary living room with a wall full of built-in shelving. However, unless you are a master woodworker yourself and have the tools, workshop, time and talent to build such shelving, you�ll find it very expensive to hire a carpenter to do the work for you. However, there is a great option that is affordable and beautiful. Why not use freestanding shelves?
Keep your New Year�s Resolution to De-Clutter your Rooms The New Year always brings with it a rash of resolutions like losing weight, exercising more, and finally getting organized.

A less cluttered home is easier to clean and maintain and feels fresh and spacious; it also reduces stress because you aren�t always looking at piles of things that need to be done.
Welcome January with the Simplicity of Winter White The holidays are full of hustle and bustle and by the time they are over, we often feel like we�ve had a little too much of everything, from rich food and decadent desserts to over-the-top holiday decor. With so much red and green and the glimmer of gold and twinkling lights, switching to a simpler palette is a welcome change. Winter white is absolutely perfect for embracing this kind of simplicity and it says welcome to winter and the peaceful tranquility found just outside your window.

And with the brand new full-screen view and AirPlay integration, Spotify and your iPad are perfect for each other, both as your pumped-up living room stereo and your lean, green music machine when you're on the move.
Compared to Spotify's iPhone experience, the iPad app has been completely redesigned with a layered UI more familiar to Facebook iPad app users and packs most of the service's features apart from the recently launched Web apps. It also includes a new full-screen mode with Retina graphics to take advantage of the device's display and AirPlay support. Missing is "Collection" view and few other features only accessible through the online service.
