COLUMBUS -- The family of a Preble County murderer who gasped for air while being executed plans to file a federal lawsuit, alleging he was subject to cruel and unusual punishment during his lethal injection.
A Dayton law firm will handle the case on behalf of Dennis McGuire's family. Ohioans to Stop Execution announced the suit Friday, the day after McGuire became the first inmate put to death using a new two-drug combination.
"Shortly after the warden buttoned his jacket to signal the start of the execution, my dad began gasping and struggling to breathe," Amber McGuire, the inmate's daughter, said in a released statement. "I watched his stomach heave. I watched him try to sit up against the straps on the gurney. I watched him repeatedly clench his fist. It appeared to me he was fighting for his life but suffocating."
McGuire was sentenced to death for the 1989 rape and murder of a pregnant woman.
Witnesses to his execution Thursday described him struggling to breath for about 10 minutes during a process that took longer than other lethal injections administered since the state restarted capital punishment in 1999.
A log of McGuire's final moments noted that "10 mg of midazolam and 40 mg of hydromorphone were prepared and drawn into a single syringe" for use in his execution.
The actual injection was administered in about 20 seconds, but it took more than 20 minutes for McGuire to be pronounced dead.
State prison officials have offered little comment, other than noting they are undertaking their standard review of the process.
Ohioans to Stop Execution and at least one state lawmaker are urging Gov. John Kasich to issue "an immediate moratorium" on executions, in light of McGuire's death.
"This flawed execution reinforces my belief that the death penalty is an outdated method of punishment that has no place in civilized society," Sen. Edna Brown (D-Toledo) said in a released statement. "... I believe the evidence overwhelmingly shows that the death penalty is not necessary or appropriate to carry out justice in Ohio. Our state must move towards life without parole sentencing as the appropriate punishment for the most heinous crimes."
Marc Kovac is the Dix Capital Bureau Chief. Email him at email@example.com or on Twitter at OhioCapitalBlog.
That is right, barbhoumard, I cannot imagine what his victim went through. He deserved what he got. If a Judge hears this case, he should immediately dismiss it. Plus, why would any member of the killers family want to watch their Fathers execution. If that was my Daughter and unborn baby, I would attend his execution and applaud.
I don't think McGuire's suffering compared to that of his victim, who is not even mentioned by name in this story. I'm sure his treatment of her and her unborn child was "cruel and unusual."

Nov. 4, 2005
The Tennessee Varsity Rowers will participate in their third race of the season this weekend in Chattanooga, Tenn., when they take to the water for the Head of the Hooch regatta. The Lady Vols competed in the event (formerly known as the Head of the Chattahoochee) from 1995-2002, climbing to a second-place team finish in 1997, but took the last two years off to fit the Rivanna Romp Regatta in Charlottesville, Va., into the schedule. This season, Tennessee will send squads to both events due to a change in event scheduling.
The Lady Vols will enter three shells in the Championship 8+ event to take place on Saturday at 11 a.m. Other Division I schools competing in the event are Texas, Miami, Duke, Central Florida, and Kansas.
The Head of the Hooch Regatta has traditionally been held in either Atlanta or Gainesville, Ga., but has been relocated this year to the new 21st Century River Front Venue in Chattanooga. The race will conclude at the newly renovated Ross's Landing Park.
The Lady Vols hope to build on an already successful fall campaign in which the team has collected six gold medals. Tennessee won three golds at the Chattanooga Head Race on October 8, one gold at the prestigious Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston, Mass., and three at the Head of the Tennessee Regatta in Knoxville on October 22. The varsity Championship 8+ shell also garnered a respectable 12th place finish in Boston.
The Lady Vols are back in action on Sunday, Nov. 13, at the Rivanna Romp in Charlottesville, Va. The event will conclude Tennessee's fall season.
Championship 8+

Razer Announces Gaming Mouse for Lefties
Last week Razer announced that all future gaming mice would include Mac support, and now the company is announcing a gaming-grade mouse just for lefties.
Called the DeathAdder Left Hand Edition, it offers a level of comfort and gameplay that southpaws could previously only dream about. It has five programmable Hyperesponse buttons, a 3500dpi infrared sensor, and an ergonomic left-hand design. Players can change how the mouse responds in-game with on-the-fly sensitivity adjustments.
"Not many gamers know this, but I am a southpaw myself and feel truly excited to have a mouse that fits perfectly in my left hand. There is really no substitute for gaming with your naturally dominant hand," says Razer USA's president, Robert "Razerguy" Krakoff. Originally posted to Gearlog.

I was no newbie to ass fucking, been doing it as often as a girl would let me. Truth is that I even prefer a good ass fucking than the pussy itself. Asses, especially chubby ones grip my cock tighter, squeezing it better and giving me a much more satisfying cum. One problem though is that I never ass fucked a black woman before. My buddies say black women are better at it since they have such chubby ass it could practically cover your whole cock. I decided to try this out for myself and the good thing was I already had a black girl in mind.
Wanda is a member of the typing pool and had the best tits ass I ever saw. They were fucking round and full, made to be grabbed and used by men. Lucky for me, Wanda was already showing signs of wanting to get laid. I can't count how many times she would bend over in front of me, showing me her luscious brown tits. Tonight, I was gonna squeeze those boobs while fucking her in the ass. I already invited her for a date and was looking
forward to what was gonna happen after that.
Wanda didn't make it hard for me. Soon as dinner was over and I brought her home, she grabbed my semi-hard cock and told me to fuck her. Grinning, I followed her to her room and stripped her. I fucked her pussy first because that's what always gets women off. Once her juice was running all over her thighs, I used the fluid to loosen her tight asshole. "I'll fuck your ass." I told her seconds before I plunged my seven inches in her back door. She screamed then but I could tell this wasn't her first ass fuck. Goddammit, it was so tight, tighter than her pussy. After a few seconds, Wanda was telling me to do it harder, faster. Finally, I came in her asshole and watched my cum squirt from her back door. Beautiful. Since then, black women is my choice when it comes to ass fucking.

It's Summer And The Best Time To Undergo Microdermabrasion
With summer just around the corner, you'll want to show off the healthy glow of sun kissed skin, and there is no better place to start with than your face. Having a smooth, blemish-free complexion can take years off your appearance, make you appear fresher and more vibrant, and give you more confidence. One great skincare technique that can help greatly improve your skin's appearance over time is microdermabrasion. This is a pain-free, non-invasive, and save rejuvenation method.
Microdermabrasion is often performed at spas and beauty salons by trained aestheticians. During the procedure, the aesthetician will cleanse the face and then apply heated rags to help open the pores. A small, handheld electric wand with a rotating disc on one end is then slowly rubbed over the surface of the face.
The disc on the wand is coated in highly abrasive material that sloughs away the first superficial layers of cells. By gently buffing these away, it reveals the fresh, unblemished skin beneath, giving you a rosier, healthier appearance.
Microdermabrasion can successfully treat a variety of facial complaints including acne, scarring, sun damage, fine lines, uneven tone, and age spots. Although it only removes the topmost layers, repeated use over a long period of time will allow the blemished cells to rise to the surface and be removed, diminishing the appearance and severity of many problems such as sun damage.
Many patients often combine these treatments with other forms of facial rejuvenation to maximize their results. The cost will vary be region, aesthetician, and the amount of treatments, but generally ranges between $100 and $300. It often takes many sessions to begin to see results, and you will require a resting period between so that the new cells can be generated.
There are few risks involved with microdermabrasion treatments; however, those with especially sensitive and thin skin may want to consult with an aesthetician before committing to the procedure. There is the chance of prolonged redness and tenderness along with broken capillaries and in very rare cases abrasive material getting caught in the eye and causing temporary irritation.
It is not required to be performed by a trained professional such as a plastic surgeon or dermatologist, but it is important that you choose a trained and experienced professional to help minimize risks and maximize results.
This is not a quick fix for many problems, but starting a treatment regime early can have your face beach ready before summer winds down. After treatment, it is extra sensitive to the sun, so it's important to liberally apply sun block before exposure.
Microdermabrasion, combined with other healthy complexion habits such as a quality cleanser, regular facials, and moisturizer can help you transform you from dull to glowing, and help you keep it that way for many years to come.

The first stills from The Details have been released featuring Tobey and Elizabeth Banks. Thanks to Riina for the heads up!
Nothing quite new with the exception of some small casting news in regards to the other two main characters but The Great Gatsby was mentioned in a recent interview with director Baz Luhrmann 🙂 You can read the rest of the interview with Baz Luhrmann at the source.
How do you balance your time between working on the stage show and your upcoming film production of "The Great Gatsby"?
I spend the mornings working on casting Gatsby; I'm focusing on casting Jordan and Tom at the moment [….] The Gatsby workshop [with DiCaprio and Maguire] was a fantastically enriching and touching experience. But that's a story for a different time.
Here come the stars: the Sundance Film Festival announced its roster of films playing out of competition on Thursday and the selections – unlike those in the competitive slate – include marquee names on both sides of the camera.
Bigwig actors and actresses are also sprinkled throughout the selections. Tobey Maguire stars in The Details. Directed by Jacob Aaron Estes (Mean Creek), the film has one of the more bizarre descriptions in the entire festival: hungry raccoons discover worms living under sod in a couple's backyard, leading to a wild and absurd chain reaction that includes organ donation and murder by way of bow and arrow.
You can read more info at the source.
In a follow up to this post, I've added HQ editorial scans of Tobey in L'uomo Vogue's March 2010 issue. I have more scans to add but it's getting late so I'll post those tomorrow. Enjoy the new scans :]
Hello everyone! I've put up a brand new layout here at TobeyFan.com and I hope everyone likes it! I wanted to create something soft and elegant yet simple and easy on the eyes at the same time which I believe I've accomplished. However, the gamma is off on my new laptop so if anything looks too bright/dark for you, let me know and I can change it. The pages are still linking to the old layout which I'll convert over to the new layout later this week.
Thanks for visiting and like I said, I hope the visitors like the new version! 🙂

Very neat looking. I like the compact size. Can't wait for the range report!
This is a discussion on The Mossberg MVP: somebody needs to keep me away from gunshops... within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; This is a preliminary look at the MVP - I'll be shooting it tomorrow and give an update. I had finished shooting my M&P9 at ...
This is a preliminary look at the MVP - I'll be shooting it tomorrow and give an update.
I had finished shooting my M&P9 at the Shooter's Depot range and was doing a walk through the store to see what the gun situation looked like. Man! The display cases were full! The AR wall was full, The rifle wall was full, and right down at the bottom of one display of rifles was this (without the scope):
I think it was the combination of laminated stock, short barrel, and the bolt action that really caught my eye. It was clear from the stickers all over it that it was a Mossberg bolt action.
I wasn't familiar with Mossberg bolt action rifles, but I asked to look at it. The first thing I noticed was how light it was. It actually weighs in at 6-1/4 lbs sans the scope - really nimble feeling. I mounted it as if I had a pig dead in the empty scope rails and started pressing the trigger. WOW! The trigger was incredibly light. I thought I was just not 'feeling' the pull right and asked to look at several other guns. I was right from the get-go - the trigger was really light.
It has what Mossberg calls it's LBA™ Lightning Bolt Action™Adjustable Trigger. I don't know how they get all of that out of LBA but it is true - the trigger is adjustable. Actually I had my Lyman Digital Trigger Pull Scale with me and the trigger measured under three pounds! That's box stock from the factory. More about that later.
So I went home, went through the safe looking for something I could trade. I picked something and took off to the gun shop. I was within $40 of an even trade, so I forked over the $40 and took off with the gun.
Mossberg did some things really right and it was nicely done - the barrel length was perfect at 18.5" and it was chambered, not for the .223, but for the 5.56 mm NATO.
The barrel is what they call a medium bull barrel and about the last foot or so is lightly fluted. Update-24Jun2013: I didn't realize this, but just discovered it - the barrel is free-floating and has a recessed crown.
They did the trigger right too. Although it is adjustable, when I got home, I did a 10 pull average and got 2 lbs 8.4 oz - essentially a 2.5 lb trigger box-stock as set by the factory. UPDATE-24Jun2013: I cleaned and lubed the MVP with Weapon Shield (Thanks QKShooter!!!), except for trigger sears where I used Gun Butter grease. I started measuring trigger pulls and it appeared that I was getting some kind of 'after shock'. I discovered the after shock was the trigger breaking and coming to an abrupt stop and my hand, pulling on the scale had enough 'spring' in it to drive the gauge into the stopped trigger. That was causing a superficially high reading. I used a different pull method to eliminate the over pull, and got a 5 shot average of 2 lbs-6 oz or 2-3/8 lbs - wow - and right from the box! If it will just shoot I'm off to check that now. One of the things I've read about this gun is that the light trigger does make a difference. One writer noted that he fired some test groups with it at 3.5 lbs and then adjusted it down to 2.5 lbs - I think I read that's as light as it will go. He did some more test groups and it was clear that the groups were significantly tighter.
Another thing they did right was to make it a removable magazine and not only that but designed to use AR magazines - that's the Mossberg 10 rounder on the right, a 20 round in the middle and a 30 round mag in the gun. It does not like Pmags:
And this is just aesthetic (I guess); it has the light spiral fluting on the bolt:
There are two weaknesses (my opinion), although they may never cause any trouble. One is the mag release. There's a lever on the bottom of the receiver, shown here:
That small lever is the end of a looong lever that is routed back along the side of the magazine well to the magazine catch position in the side of the magazine well. I called this a weakness, it's actually built pretty strong. It's just that the mag release isn't necessarily quick to release like an AR. But then it's not hard to release either, but it makes me think that it might not take much to get it to stick. Whether that would actually ever happen or not....
The other weakness is the bolt design. But, according to my research on the MVP, this 'weakness' has been designed, tested, modified, tested, and then tested again for reliability and durability and it has proven to be a solid design - still....
What it is about the bolt is a little 'flapper' on the bottom of the bolt. It is this flapper that allows the use of AR mags. The flapper/lever picks up the round from the AR mag. The pic I had of the bolt didn't turn out, so I can't show a pic of it, but I'll try to reshoot it and post it later.
The same guy I referred to about adjusting the trigger, also did a little informal testing of the bolt and that little flapper lever. He said he did some really hard bolt racks and the flapper never seemed to so much as notice the forceful racks.
Now, if the thing will just shoot! I'll know about that tomorrow.
I'm too young to be this old!
Getting old isn't good for you!
Very neat looking. I like the compact size. Can't wait for the range report!

Looks like a solid shooter right there. Mossberg turns out some pretty cool stuff.


text: Hopefully there is not another thread about this, but since this round is so popular I'd like to start a thread that we all can benefit from. I search for 5.7 ammo when I get a chance and .22LR is just as hard to find in stock. By the time you get an email notice of in stock status it is already sold out. If you see it in stock online for a good price post it here!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/2/2013 (1579 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Visitors can expect the Keystone Centre to remain a busy place this spring — and not only with the sights and sounds of fairs and agricultural events but also hammers and saws.
At the most recent Keystone Centre board meeting, directors discussed the ongoing repairs and renovations to existing facilities.
"We're optimistic that most of the work will be completed by the end of March," Keystone Centre general manager Neil Thomson said.
Work includes new lighting in Westman Place, a new folding partition wall in the Convention Hall, new tile and bathrooms in the concourse, a new digital sign, upgrades to the washrooms in Westman Place, a new compressor for one of the ice plants and dehumidifiers to eliminate moisture from the building.
"It's a combination of little things that we needed to address, but it adds up to a lot," Thomson said.
Some of the items were projects the management group had hoped to complete in the lead up to the Memorial Cup, but were put on the back burner after funds were diverted to projects that took priority.
Although the work will be ongoing, Thomson said it shouldn't affect the day-to-day business of the centre.
"We're trying to work around it and it's been a challenge for our staff and the contractors," Thomson said.
Another discussion centred on the potential for a new building that could double as a facility for agricultural and athletic groups, Thomson said, and would be built onto the existing centre in the northeast corner.
"It would be an indoor field house that is multi-purpose and can be changed into a barn as well."
Thomson said he expects the new campground, which had sewer and water plumbing put in prior to frost setting in the ground last year but is waiting on electrical, to be operational by the Manitoba Summer Fair.
"It's a resource to help attract other ag events and provide a service for our existing events," Thomson said.

Currently the Milwaukee by Bike map is only available online, printed copies are out of stock. The City of Milwaukee and Milwaukee County staffs are working together to develop an updated map for 2015 publication.
Milwaukee County Map - North Side
Milwaukee County Map - South Side
Map covers the Milwaukee region from the Illinois State Line to Port Washington and west to Oconomowoc. It directs cyclists to roads deemed by a local researcher to be the best route option in an area. These routes were selected and field-tested by one of Milwaukee's most avid bicycle explorers, then checked by other experienced bicyclists. You will find unique local roads and little-known bike trails for great recreational riding plus direct, bike-friendly routes to get you to work and back or through your daily errands. It is laid out in an easy-to-read network of roads and trails that will take you where you want to go.
The state is divided into four sections and rates the roads based on conditions like posted speed limits and the number of vehicles per day. It also shows off-street trails and rural roads with paved shoulders. The Southeast section covers an area from Madison to Milwaukee and from the Illinois border to Door County. This map offers the lots of information for cyclists to make their own choices based on road type. Note: It doesn't show roads within the City of Milwaukee

Counting the days to a blessed event is easy. It's common and fun for a lot of expectant parents.
Counting the days to a life-changing event, like the one that Michelle Van Horn is about to experience, is overwhelming — if it can be described at all.
Van Horn, of Indiana, and her boyfriend, Kody Stancombe, are expecting again. Already the parents of a 19-month-old son, Riley Van Horn, their target date would be May 8.
But that's being moved ahead four weeks to early April because she has twins on the way. Boys, the doctors say.
When they arrive, they will be named Andrew and Garret.
What their following days will be like is anyone's guess.
About 25 days from now, Van Horn will deliver conjoined twins — attached to each other from chest to belly button.
The odds of such a birth are about 1 in 200,000.
The babies share an umbilical cord, they'll have one liver, and although ultrasounds have shown two hearts, one is much weaker and the babies will depend on the strong one.
That rules out trying to separate them, doctors told her.
"It's scary. It has been a lot for me to take in," Van Horn said. "I just take it day by day.
"And I've been so mad at doctors lately. … I'm tired of hearing bad news."

Van Horn, 25, said she and Stancombe planned the pregnancy and she suspected in September that she had conceived. She confirmed it with a home pregnancy test.
The maternity department at Indiana Regional Medical Center gave her an appointment for an ultrasound just before Thanksgiving, when she had reached about 10 weeks, but by then she had an idea her pregnancy was different.
"I was expecting to go in there, knowing I have twins on my side of the family and Kody has, too. … So being told I had twins wasn't such a big shock to me," Van Horn said. "But they said there was a complication, and they had to send me down to Johnstown. The technician that did the sonogram, the way she was looking at the pictures and talking to me, I knew there was something wrong.
"The doctor finally came in and said 'well, we found that you're going to have twins, but they're conjoined and there's only one heart.' I broke down, I started freaking out, I was crying."
Using a 3-D sonogram, doctors at the obstetrics and gynecology section at Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center found the boys connected, and apparently also with one heart, she said.
Van Horn then went to Pittsburgh for a fetal echocardiogram at Magee Women's Hospital.
"They found a second heart but it is not big enough or strong enough," Van Horn said. "They told me that if they were to separate them, that could kill them both. Because both hearts need each other."
Her obstetrician, Dr. Adib Najib Khouzami, at Conemaugh Health System, laid it on the line for Van Horn.
"He showed me all the research. He says this is one of the rarest cases, where basically they have a 2 percent chance of surviving. He is trying to prepare me for the worst, but he is trying to give me some encouragement. And it's a battle between the two."
She has pitted hope against hope that maybe the doctors are wrong.
"I would go in for my sonogram and I would hope and pray that maybe they were wrong, maybe they would find a second heart, or that maybe one was laying on top of the other and things just looked the way they did.
Complications have come up for Van Horn, but the babies are fine, she said.
"They are developing right on track, they're growing, they're developing just the way they should in a regular normal pregnancy," Van Horn said. "The sonogram showed they're breathing OK. And they're moving! It's like I'm a human punching bag right now."
Her last check-up in Johnstown was on March 4.
In terms of the pregnancy, she said, she has had more back pain, more sickness and more sleep loss than when she carried Riley.
But working fewer hours means less pay, and she'll have no income for a time after giving birth.
Van Horn works at Moorhead House, a personal care home in White Township, as a personal service assistant and certified medical assistant.
"My hours have decreased in a big way, but my boss is good at helping me out," she said. "But with me being off work and not having an income, I'm going to have trouble with my rent and buying stuff in general that I need.
"The Salvation Army has been helping me a little bit. All my co-workers are very good about supporting me. My boss worries about me all the time."
Van Horn and Riley live at the Homestead Apartments, a subsidized housing plan at the east end of Gompers Avenue.
Riley, for the record, is energetic, healthy and happy –— especially when he sees visitors at their apartment. He loves the animated PBS TV character Calliou, has fun pointing and commanding with an Xbox controller, and enjoys standing on a stool to look out the window at the Homestead complex.
Rental restrictions there have kept Stancombe from moving in, Van Horn said, so they are looking for another place to live that's closer to their workplaces.
Stancombe, who grew up in Homer City and graduated from Indiana Area Senior High School, has worked five years for the Indiana Printing & Publishing Co. He started briefly in the distribution department at The Indiana Gazette but has worked for several years now at Gazette Printers, the commercial printing division, along Indian Springs Road in White Township. And Van Horn, a Plumville native and Marion Center Area High School graduate, once worked for the Gazette, delivering newspapers.
"We are trying to get Kody in, we have a lot of paperwork started to get him to move into my apartment," she said. "They have to do all these background checks on him. … Guidelines have to be met and things have to be properly processed, and I understand that. And if he can't move in, I have to have written permission from them saying that he's allowed to stay a certain amount of time, and once that time's up, he's not allowed to be there.
"But he's the father of these twins, he's the one who's literally trying to financially help me and support me and everything, and they want to restrict him from all that?"
Even more hurdles and unanswered questions lie ahead for them.
How can they find a suitable car seat for conjoined twins?
And clothing for twins joined at the chest? Until she knows exactly how her babies are joined, it wouldn't make sense to start buying off the rack at Walmart.
"I have looked all over online for … a car seat, and I've been told there's a lady that's willing to help make clothes for the twins. But it's difficult to find anything for conjoined twins. I know that anything found is going to be expensive."
And all those arrangements — finding child care, handling the babies' medical care, along with paying rent, putting food on the table and getting clothes and a child safety seat, after losing her income — are overshadowed by the obvious issue. Will the boys thrive? Will they have the fight in them that they need to overcome the dark prospects they face?
According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, the odds are stacked against conjoined twins from the earliest weeks after conception, when an embryo begins to divide into identical twins but does not complete the process.
Conjoined twins can be connected in one of about a dozen known ways, and from the description she was given, her babies would be classified as thoracopagus twins, who are joined at the upper torso.
"Thoracopagus twins share a heart, which, depending on how closely they are joined, makes it nearly impossible to separate them and save them both," according to the university's website. "Thoracopagus twins make up about 40 percent of all conjoined cases."
There are more facts. More conjoined twins in the womb are boys, but girls are three times more likely to be born alive.
Overall, the university reports, 40 percent to 60 percent of conjoined twins are stillborn, and 35 percent live about a day. That leaves the overall survival rate at 5 percent to 25 percent.
The university website doesn't specifically address issues such as the disparities in the hearts of Van Horn's babies.
Van Horn said she is well aware of the chances, and it's been weighing on her through much of her pregnancy.
She has been given a firm schedule of what will happen next.
At an office visit next week, she'll meet with a neonatal intensive care unit physician who will oversee her babies after they're born. Dr. Khouzami will decide when Van Horn will have to quit working, and he'll set a date for delivering the twins, which must be done by cesarean section.
That has Van Horn a little queasy.
"I'm terrified. I'm not up for the whole cutting my stomach open part. … The doctor asked if I wanted to be awake for this and I said yes," Van Horn said. "I know I'm going to have to have an epidural for this. I had my son naturally, so this C-section is a whole new ballgame for me."
Delaying their birth to the normal 40 weeks of pregnancy is not even an option.
"The doctors also said that going to a full-term pregnancy, I could have a stillbirth. They also are not sure if they will make it past birth or how long they will live."
Van Horn said her maternity care even has come with a recommendation from one of her doctors to terminate the pregnancy. She said she and Stancombe initially agreed to it, but she changed her mind and has been steadfast on carrying through.
"I believe that just because there's a bump in the road, it doesn't mean you should just give up," she said. "So I'm willing to sit there and fight everything for my children, regardless of the outcome."
As the days pass and the clock ticks down to the birth of her sons, Van Horn and Stancombe still are unsettled on a lot of their plans.
"We haven't bought anything for the babies because we are unsure if they are going to make it — so we have no diapers, no clothing, anything," she said.
But the constant, according to Van Horn, has been her determination to give her babies a chance.
"For me, it is that I'm a very stubborn, bullheaded person, and even though I knew what the outcome could be … I'm a fighter and I believe in fighting for this," Van Horn said.

iPhone 5 Will Be Available on Sprint And T-Mobile
New Apple iPhone articles :
> iPhone 5 review: Specs, Pricing, Release Date and Pictures of Apple's newest smartphone
> iPhone 5 vs. iPhone 4S: Smartphone showdown (Pictures)
While the release date, specifications and features of iPhone 5 are still unknown, rumors said that Apple's next generation smartphone was set to be available on more networks including on both T-Mobile and Sprint on top of existing carriers AT&T and Verizon in the U.S. Piper Jaffray tech analyst, Chris Larsen, has added the ever growing speculation of iPhone 5 recently. As we all know, the Apple's iOS operating system is currently beaten in the market by Google's Android system. As a consequence, Google occupies a large number of Android users than Apple does. While the handsets themselves still bring great profit to tech companies, Apple is trying to expand the reach by taking advantage of Sprint and T-Mobile. Piper Jaffray analyst Chris Larsen also states, "Our belief is that if Apple is already going through the trouble to make a device that has the ability to work on both major network technologies, why not include all the necessary spectrum bands to make one device work on all carriers."
The launch of the iPhone 5 would be a historic event in technology industry with multiple carriers and expected sales day of epic proportions
The latest rumors are flying that the iPhone 5 will be released on a total of four major networks including Sprint and T-Mobile
By the end of 2011, the fifth generation iPhones is expected to sell over 25 million units by the Wall Street Journal which would increase Apple's market by 30 per cent

Greenville continues perfect start with Cedar Springs sweep
GREENVILLE — The cold weather has not done a thing to cool the Greenville Yellow Jackets hot start.
On Thursday, the Yellow Jackets knocked out 13 hits — 11 of them over the final three innings — en route to a five inning 13-3 mercy win at home against the Cedar Springs Red Hawks.
The win improved the Yellow Jackets to a perfect 6-0 overall. With three-game sweeps of Forest Hills Eastern and now Cedar Springs, the Yellow Jackets are 6-0 in the O-K Bronze, as well.
Greenville coach Mike Rasmussen said it's been a great start to the season.
"Our offense is starting to come around. We are getting to that point in the season where the offense is catching up to the pitching," Rasmussen said. "Our pitching has been really good this year. In all of our games, we have thrown strikes, worked ahead and our defense is picking the ball up behind us."
Parker Syrjala improved to 3-0 in as many starts. Syrjala went all five innings, allowing eight hits with seven strikeouts.
"He is throwing real well. He is keeping the ball down, working ahead in counts and that is the name of the game," Rasmussen said. "Today he started establishing some of his off speed pitches. Those will be effective for him this season as it begins to warm up."
Neither team scored until the third inning.
Cedar Springs started the scoring with back-to-back doubles by Jake Benton and Justin Louck. Louck scored two batters later on a single by Collin Hickok for a 2-0 lead.
"We jumped out to an early lead. Getting hits off him (Syrjala) means a lot to our team and our program," Cedar Springs coach Steve Saboo said. "We had to have more than two innings of good hitting. We just needed to match them up."
The Yellow Jackets wasted little time grabbing the lead with four runs on five hits in the bottom of the third inning.
Jacob Crittenden had the big hit, a run scoring double off the fence in right field.
"I thought both teams swung the bats pretty good," Rasmussen said. "Especially, considering the conditions. The ball flew a little more than I anticipated. It's nice to get good barrel to the ball. When you do that good things happen."
Cedar Springs went down in order in the third inning, while the Yellow Jackets tacked on four more runs for an 8-2 advantage.
Max Little started the rally with a leadoff single, while Travis Groom and Caleb Vinton closed the scoring out with back-to-back run scoring doubles. Vinton's blast was originally ruled a home run off the right field scoreboard, but was changed to a double after a conference by the umpires.
"He really put a charge into it, but it hit the fence," Rasmussen said. "I think they got the right call. I sure would have liked to see the home run, but those will come."
Champion drove in one run in the top of the fifth for the Red Hawks to trail 8-3.
Greenville added five runs in the bottom half of the fifth — the final two on a single by Vinton — to end the game. The Yellow Jackets had just two hits in the inning, but took full advantage of walks and errors.
Vinton, Little, Groom, Tyler Orr and Tre Nelson each had two hits. Vinton drove in three runs, while Groom, Orr and Nelson each had two RBI.
Ramussen said his team has played a lot of baseball and it is showing this season.
"The kids have really played a lot of baseball in addition to high school," Rasmussen said. "The kids have worked with travel programs being exposed to a lot of baseball and that shows when it comes to the high school season."
Already confident coming into the season, the Yellow Jackets are putting themselves in a position to have an extremely successful season.
"They have high expectations and some lofty goals for themselves," Rasmussen said. "They are on a mission with good focus and a good demeanor. They are focused, but enjoy the game and that is a good combination to have."
Prior to the game, Greenville and Cedar Springs continued Wednesday's suspended game in the sixth inning. The game ended after Cedar Springs batted, giving Greenville the win 13-9.
Greenville will play a single game at Lowell today.

Seriously, you have done an EXCELLENT job on that JP.
Seriously, you have done an EXCELLENT job on that JP.
Ahh nothing like ah good Bounty Hunter work station...
Nice work !
More pics! What do you think of the grease gun?
Looks great! I knew exactly what it was when I saw it =D Probably one of the most distinct weapons ever made, and it's really been put together awesomely. Still loving the JP also.
That is a MONSTER gun. Love it
The jet pack is now done!
Looks great!
Diggin the grease gun. Where'd you pick it up if you don't mind my asking? I've often thought about using one as a backup weapon, could never really find one.
Looking great!
That just looks outstanding!!!
Nice job.
You can pick up inexpensive versions of almost any type of weapon -- at these two places....
or airsoft.com
Thanks for the comments - also ASOK for posting this on the board as well.
Right Gauntlet pics up now.
Again, very nice piece! Is it hinged?
Since it is made out of Sintra -- it is attached on one side by plastic welder and a strip holding both the top and bottom calm shells together -- on the other side I plan on fixing Velcro to it to hold it in place. It fits nicely -- also plan on putting a strip of foam on the upper part to hold it in place on my arm -- pre-test show that it will be very snug!
So far the Right one is done -- painted it same color as the jet pack -- since my shirt is coyote tan -- the paint came out like a mirror -- so the weathering should stick out -- it's drying right now...
Thanks for the comments -- more to come!
More pics.
I think he is done.
How long did it take to put this set together?
Once I bought my helmet and then my knees, cod piece, and diamond...I started there in MAY/JUNE time frame...after that -- I then bought my armor front and back -- painted the different layers for weathering....
I then moved to the jet pack in July -- all of July -- then I finished off the gauntlets --- basically 12 hours on each one... I used 1/8 inch Sintra and a heat gun... the jet pack and gauntlets were made by hand -- from templates by WOF and LisaFett. I basically worked whole days from morning to night -- I say I have a few hundred hours in this set. From sanding, painting , using Bondo, cutting, fitting, you know -- the whole business....
I think it came together really fast once everything was done --
Not bad at all!
Flows nicely. Love the blaster, not sure about the tea towel around the neck though?
Looking good! keep it up!
I think that's supposed to give it a desert nomadish look (looks Arabic inspired).
I almost think it would look better with a darker flight suit. I know you haven't weathered it..but try putting some different material objects next to the armor. Maybe a dark dirty tan color?
i think it's supposed to be like a shemaugh (don't know if thats the right spelling). Which soldiers sometimes use to keep sand and stuff out of their facesI think that's supposed to give it a desert nomadish look (looks Arabic inspired).
Corby44 - yes you are correct -- I used this particular one when I went out in public -- it was bought in Iraq at a market shop from a local.
Black is usually worn by Shia - the area I was in - most Sunni where the red. However, I was also told if one makes the pilgrimage to Mecca - they were the red. So - the pants, shirt, shoes, and head wrap came from Iraq. Again, I wanted to stay within Lucas and his vision - but incorporate slowly those things that make this mandalorian unique...
Hope you like it...
Looks good. Just weather that flight suit up a tad maybe.
I love the shemagh and modded "greasegun", oustanding work.
cool beans

Till now there has not been reported data related to the influence of leflunomide on the thyroid gland function of the treated person. The authors described the case of woman with rheumathoid arthritis and hypothyroidism who revealed hyperthyroidism in 7 months after starting leflunomide tablets treatment containing povidone iodine as well. Also both autonomical tissue area in thyroid right lobe and hight TSHRAb level were found. Leflunomid tablets containing povidone iodine in its structure can cause hyperthyroidism in the person with previous hypothyroidism and nodular goiter, probably as a result of immunological reconversion and tissue nodular functional autonomisation. In persons with nodular goitre one should prefer free of povidone iodine leflunomide treatment and also monitor serum thyroid hormone contents and thyroid antibodies as well.

Enlargement of the THYROID GLAND that may increase from about 20 grams to hundreds of grams in human adults. Goiter is observed in individuals with normal thyroid function (euthyroidism), thyroid deficiency (HYPOTHYROIDISM), or hormone overproduction (HYPERTHYROIDISM). Goiter may be congenital or acquired, sporadic or endemic (GOITER, ENDEMIC).
A thiourea antithyroid agent. Propythiouracil inhibits the synthesis of thyroxine and inhibits the peripheral conversion of throxine to tri-iodothyronine. It is used in the treatment of hyperthyroidism. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopeoia, 30th ed, p534)
Congenital Hypothyroidism
A condition in infancy or early childhood due to an in-utero deficiency of THYROID HORMONES that can be caused by genetic or environmental factors, such as thyroid dysgenesis or HYPOTHYROIDISM in infants of mothers treated with THIOURACIL during pregnancy. Endemic cretinism is the result of iodine deficiency. Clinical symptoms include severe MENTAL RETARDATION, impaired skeletal development, short stature, and MYXEDEMA.
Substrate Cycling
A set of opposing, nonequilibrium reactions catalyzed by different enzymes which act simultaneously, with at least one of the reactions driven by ATP hydrolysis. The results of the cycle are that ATP energy is depleted, heat is produced and no net substrate-to-product conversion is achieved. Examples of substrate cycling are cycling of gluconeogenesis and glycolysis pathways and cycling of the triglycerides and fatty acid pathways. Rates of substrate cycling may be increased many-fold in association with hypermetabolic states resulting from severe burns, cold exposure, hyperthyroidism, or acute exercise.

The Best Business Schools of 2011Geoff Gloeckler
Lamar Horne was on the standard career path for someone with corner-office ambitions: an undergraduate degree in business, two years in investment banking, another two in private equity. Since most of his colleagues at PNC Mezzanine Capital in Pittsburgh had MBAs, Horne figured that if he wanted to reach partner level, he'd need one, too. By last December he had been accepted at two full-time MBA programs.
But as the 28-year-old tried to choose a school, he questioned the wisdom of leaving a good job in an unstable employment market. So in August he started a part-time MBA at Carnegie Mellon's Tepper School of Business, just a few miles from his office. It'll take him about a year longer than a traditional MBA, but he won't have to leave PNC in his quest to advance. "I didn't want to gamble with going to a full-time program, come out in two years with an increased debt load, and then hope to find a job," Horne says.
Before the economic downturn, fewer prospective MBAs sought the part-time option. Applicants didn't mind leaving a job or taking on student loan debt because they knew it wouldn't be hard to pay off, thanks to the salary bump and signing bonus they could expect upon graduation. Even as the downturn worsened, applications to full-time MBA programs continued to rise as many ambitious young people figured they could wait out the crisis in B-school.
Today, MBA grads are no longer assured of getting a job better than the one they leave. So it's no surprise that part-time and executive MBA programs are thriving. While applications to full-time MBA programs are down at two-thirds of the 199 schools responding to a survey this summer by the Graduate Management Admission Council, more than 40 percent of part-time and executive programs have seen an increase.
Part-time programs generally target students with about five years of work experience who live within a 50-mile radius of the school, as classes are offered on weekday evenings. Executive MBA programs, or EMBAs, seek more experienced people, usually with at least eight years in management. EMBA courses tend to take place on alternating weekends and attract students from a wider geographic area. Part-time degrees can take three to six years, vs. two for most full-time and EMBA programs. As part of the 2011 Best Part-Time MBA and Best EMBA rankings, Bloomberg Businessweek surveyed 10,000-plus recent graduates from both types of programs at more than 100 B-schools.
With the increased demand for their offerings, part-time and executive MBA administrators are trying to differentiate their schools and meet the needs of students who are footing more of their tuition bill on their own. With classes on weeknights and weekends, part-timers often aren't "truly engaged in the program or with the students who are moving through the program with them," says Bill Burpitt, associate dean for graduate and executive programs at Elon University's Love School of Business in North Carolina, Bloomberg Businessweek's top-ranked part-time MBA program.
To counter this, Elon has sought to make its part-time offering as personal and engaging as a full-time MBA. Part-timers at Love start with an immersion course where they develop business goals, undergo a comprehensive evaluation, and take on a two-day, team-based business simulation to get better acquainted with their classmates. Throughout each semester, those sessions are followed up with a range of social events. "All MBA programs teach finance; they all teach marketing," Burpitt says. "What makes us different is that we try to deliver great personal relationships."
A decade ago, when employers were covering much of the part-time and EMBA tuition expenses, it would have been taboo for a student to request access to an MBA career office. Those who did sometimes needed a waiver signed by their employer. Today, nearly every program offers students career assistance in some form. For many, that means workshops and speakers focused on advancement with topics such as networking and résumé writing.
At Elon, part-timers have job workshops and receive one-on-one career counseling similar to what full-time MBAs get at other schools. "There's less job security now, and more students are looking at the MBA as an insurance policy," Burpitt says. Among respondents to the Bloomberg Businessweek survey of part-timers, 58 percent identified themselves as either a job changer or a career switcher. Help with job hunting, Burpitt says, "has become a necessity."
At the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, the top-ranked EMBA program, administrators help students make connections with industry contacts. EMBA students have the opportunity to meet face to face with executives and well-placed alumni. "It's not specifically career coaching," says Patty Keegan, associate dean of Booth's North America EMBA program. "It's having that intimate access to a C-level person." In the meetings, the alum answers any career questions students may have, with one exception: "We don't want them asking for a job," Keegan says.
Only 19 percent of respondents to this year's EMBA survey were completely funded by their employers, down from 32 percent in 2007. And 42 percent paid their entire tuition on their own, vs. 28 percent four years ago. The decrease in corporate support means prospective students are considering a larger number of programs. "In the old days when your employer was paying for it, you went to the school they recommended," says Michael Desiderio, executive director of the Executive MBA Council, a trade group representing EMBA schools. "Now, as tuition reimbursement has shifted, and so many people are paying their own way, students are starting to shop around."
Prospective EMBAs aren't looking exclusively for strong core business teachings; they're also shopping for classes in areas such as entrepreneurship, career advancement, and leadership. "Students want to know how to make critical decisions and, at the same time, be able to lead people down a path that grows the organization," Desiderio says. "It's something students and employers both want to see more of in the classroom."
At Columbia Business School, the second-ranked EMBA, leadership offerings have been enhanced with electives such as "Thinking Globally" and "Organizational Culture Demystified." Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management (No. 3 on the EMBA list) has added a course called "Leading High Impact Teams" to its EMBA this year and began offering three EMBA leadership workshops.
Entrepreneurship is also finding its way into EMBA curriculums. At Booth, a concentration in the area was added to the EMBA program this year, and 10 percent of students have already signed up. The school also added a required course in entrepreneurial strategy to the core EMBA curriculum. "I think it's a way of hedging what's going on in the corporate world," Associate Dean Keegan says. "I may not be at a large company for my entire career. I want to be prepared if I go on to work for myself."
The University of Michigan's Ross School of Business, which fell to No. 9 in the part-time ranking from No. 5 two years ago, is trying to create new momentum by reaching out to companies in industries beyond its traditional stronghold, automobile manufacturing. Michigan's part-time MBA offering was devised for employees at Ford, and as recently as seven years ago a quarter of part-time students at Ross came from the carmakers or their suppliers.
With fewer students hailing from the auto industry, Ross struggled to fill classes in its traditional evening MBA offering. So last year it introduced a part-time weekend MBA in addition to the evening program. The aim was to attract students from a wider geographic area; they might be more willing to travel if they didn't have to worry about getting to work the next day. The weekend program now has 70 students, with half coming from more than 50 miles away. An additional benefit: "We have more diversity of industry," says Paul Clyde, who oversees Ross's part-time programs.
B-school administrators say they're confident working professionals will continue seeking more choices in getting an MBA, and more schools are adding programs. On Nov. 1, Rollins College's Crummer Graduate School of Business in Florida announced a new EMBA program on campus, while HEC Paris and the Anderson School of Management at the University of California at Los Angeles (No. 2 in part-time and No. 5 in EMBA) are adding to their EMBA offerings outside of their home countries. "Given the costs of a quality MBA education, the numbers will only continue to increase," says Mark Rice, dean of business at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, No. 8 in the part-time ranking. "I don't think there's much chance of going back."

HUDSON FALLS, New York (AP) — A World War II veteran from the US whose account of liberating Holocaust victims from a Nazi train led to reunions with the survivors 60 years later has died.
A friend of Carrol Walsh, Matthew Rozell, says that Walsh died Monday at his Florida home. The retired New York judge was 91. A cause of death wasn't immediately available.
Walsh and other US soldiers liberated 2,500 Jewish concentration camp prisoners from a Nazi train at the end of World War II.
His story was posted on a website Rozell created for the history class he teaches. That led to a series of reunions involving veterans and train survivors.

Joey Bats, unsolicited, says Rays need move to Tampa
Did you catch Jose Bautista with Ron and Ian on Wednesday? The man you may just know as that guy who crushes the hell out of the ball, turns out, is very thoughtful and opinionated.
One such opinion he gave, unsolicited, was where the Rays need to play their games.
"If they're ever able to relocate down to the core of Tampa, maybe the downtown area.. and create some revenue for the team to work with, they're gonna be very scary," Bautista said.
He also called Joe Maddon a "magician" and updated his injury status, saying he is completely healed from the bone bruise in his leg that cut short his season.
Here is the full conversation:

today is the very last day that you can install Adobe Flash on your Android model. Obviously HTML5 is the future and Adobe will be turning in that direction with its resources.
So is this a posthumous victory for Steve Jobs? The late co-founder of Apple hated Flash, calling it a "CPU hog" to the Wall Street Journal. On January 30 of 2010, during a famous verbal attack Jobs made on Google and Adobe, Jobs called Flash buggy and predicted that no one would be using it in the future, correctly predicting the ascent of HTML5.

Splendor, not so splendid: Carnival Splendor Cruise Review by buddboy
Overall Member Rating
Splendor, not so splendid
Destination: British Columbia
Embarkation: Los Angeles
It starts at the embarkation. For one thing the ship was full (over3000) and they didn't start to board until almost 1pm. So, between 1 and 5p all were trying to board. Get the picture.Ha
The Lido buffet food was alright but it is to small for that size ship. The lines were always long it was difficult to walk with your tray to a table. People would stop and five people would collide.
The food, we were a group of 7 our steaks never came cooked as we asked. We would cut into them and trade them around as good as we could. We were served bread once and never offered more. We had to ask every night for sour cream for the baked potatoes. On prime rib night we had to also ask for horseradish and More wait forever for them to bring it. The servers were very nice. But even he said the kitchen was a mess everyone at once trying to get the dinners.
Our room was a lido deck balcony. It was just like the Spirit and Pride. Well, I hate to write so much negative but I want to give you a heads up.
One stranger we sat by at lunch said the crew just seemed down. I also found the smiles except in the dining room few and far between. I don't know if they had just got off a bad time with all the port changes and people being so unhappy or what.
I will be interested in future reviews of the Splendor. Because I've never been ready to get off a ship as much as this time. and I have been on many 12 and 14 day cruises. So good sailing to all. Less

I have tried prescription RX for my anxiety and racing thoughts, but it never helped like this. I feel normal, not drugged, calm and i'm able to focus on completing a task.

I just started this and I am using it for anxiety that happens throughout my day at times. It has been a great product and I find that my mind seems to be clearer than it has been in a long time. I would recommend this product for anyone who has anxiety or stress. It works in about 30 minutes and the effect last about 8 hours. It has no side effects for me. You do not get sleepy and yet you do not get wired.
Very effective

L-theanine has been a lifesaver for me. I had terrible anxiety and could not get off ativan until I started taking this first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. It calmed my mind so much, but not in a robotic way like Ativan does. The physical signs of anxiety were still there, but my mind was calmed enough to deal with them. It took about a week for me to really feel it. I was on multiple ativan a day and now I have not taken one ativan in a month. Awesome!

I use L-Theanine, along with 3 mg of Melatonin at bedtime, and find that I sleep more restfully. Unlike drugstore sleep-aids, I never feel "drugged," either after taking it or upon waking.

They work, and fast. Not necessarily like a sleeping aid or something, but to take the edge off in the middle of a hectic work day, to regain your composure, maybe to help study when you are totally frazzled out, these do help a lot.

Taking this (in conjunction with Chill Pill) has helped my depression and anxiety more than St. John's Wort or 5-HTP, without the stoned feeling I got from Paxil.

Holy Cow...That's a lotta stuff....real bad stuff...
Both of those can be extremely volatile and easy to set off through a variety of means, even more so if the stuff isn't made in the exactly correct ratios, using precise procedures. He is luck his whole house, and those around it, didn't go off because of his "curiosity"
And to think that there are people that don't believe there are terrorists "in" this country wanting to harm us. Oh, that's right, he hasn't been labeled a terrorist "yet". :embarassed:
A civilian extremist who was just 'getting into' chemistry to turn his life around...yeah, right.:hand1:
How many more of these wackos are scattered around our country?:confused:
There are of course plenty of crazies, but we don't need to drive ourselves crazy worrying about them.
We don't need to be having national panic attacks over every episode.
As I wrote in other threads, I am aware of only one incident where a US airliner (domestic transit within the US) was actually bombed. That happened decades ago and was an insurance fraud case. We didn't stop flying. We didn't scream for the aid of hired searchers to guard us at airports. We went about our business.
Want to remain free, remain just a little bit brave.
And, lots of the 250 incidents that they listed some were not bombing incidents but other acts of domestic terrorism. e.g., guy flying a small plane into an IRS building.
I'm just saying, get it in perspective. Other than Ted K the Unibomber and McCrazy the OK City bomber, really how many incidents have been significant in their magnitude or effect.
Again, want to remain free be a little brave and be a little smart about not getting pushed into a panic over an ordinary incident of some lunatic getting caught with bombs or bomb making materials. It happens. It has happened in the past. It has happened throughout our history. Look up anarchists circa WWI. Get a grip.
An old friend of mine once told me, a long time ago, that his father in law has a horde of mortars stored in his garage that he acquired from his time in the military. True or not I don't know. Possible? Oh yeah. Anything's possible.

Keystone Project Still Waiting on Obama
The State Department clears the Keystone XL pipeline project of any environmental concerns, but will President Barack Obama approve it?
TransCanada's Russ Girling believes the White House is out of excuses with the results of this latest environmental impact study that raises no issues with a pipeline which ultimately could deliver crude from the oil sands of Canada to the Texas Gulf Coast.
"All of our customers continue to support it, the states along the route have approved it, and we're are ready, willing and wanting to put 9,000 American men and women to work as quickly as we can," said Girling.
However, Dan Kish at the Institute for Energy Research isn't so confident.
"This has taken longer than World War II, it's taken longer than any other pipeline ever conceived," he tells KTRH News.
Kish says while the announcement appears big, we've already seen four of these reports before.
"None of them raised serious problems either, yet we find ourselves in our sixth year of a decision over whether a pipeline that could provide a lot of jobs and new energy should be built and is in the national interest," he says.
Because the project was an executive order under President George W. Bush, Kish says Obama is under no deadline to make a decision.
White House spokesman Jay Carney reaffirmed Kish's concerns by insisting more input is needed, calling for additional studies and public comment.
"I'm not going to make a statement about what the president is going to do based on something that hasn't happened yet," Carney told reporters Friday.
Many believe Obama will simply sit on the project, and leave it for the next president to deal with.

|Noam Chomsky.
Since its sudden appearance in September 2011, the Occupy Movement has spread to thousands of towns and cities across the world. For some it's the economy. For others, it's something deeper. Through relentless organizing and ongoing civil disobedience, the movement now occupies the global conscience as its influence spreads from street assemblies and protests to op-ed pages and the corridors of power. From the movement's onset, Noam Chomsky was there, offering his voice, his support, and his detailed analysis of what's been going down and what might be done. In "Occupy," Chomsky presents his latest thinking on the core issues, questions and demands that are driving ordinary people to protest. How did we get to this point? How do the wealthiest 1% influence society? How can we separate money from politics? What would a genuine democracy look like? How can we create new institutions to increase freedom and equality for all? Following the old course, says Chomsky, isn't going to work. He argues that if we continue to follow the model of growth set for us by the 1%, we'll be like lemmings walking off a cliff. The only alternative is to get involved and fight for a better future. If not now, when? If not us, who?
