Jmx4Perl provides an alternate way of accessing Java JEE Server management interfaces that are based on JMX (Java Management Extensions). It is an agent-based approach where a small Web application deployed on the application server provides HTTP/JSON-based access to JMX MBeans registered within the application server. It is set up from a handful of Perl modules, which can be integrated seamlessly in your own programs. It also includes a Nagios plugin, check_jmx4perl, a jmx4perl command line tool for remote JMX queries and operations, and a readline-based JMX shell j4psh, with context sensitive command completion and syntax highlighting.
jobBuddy searches 9 top job sites and displays listings in a single interface. It can also hide jobs users don't want, and can update results at a later time. There is no registration or third party service involved, so searches can be directly sent to the sources. Users can "dig deeper" into search results to see a wider spectrum of job options. A duplication checker ensures that you don't see the same listing more than once.
joeq is a Java 2 (JDK 1.3 and 1.4) compatible virtual machine. It is unique in that it is entirely implemented in Java, leading to greater reliability, portability, maintainability, and efficiency. It is also language-independent, so code from any supported language can be seamlessly compiled, linked, and executed dynamically.

Probably a chimpanzee, someone was raising and no longer wanted and has since then let loose. These animals are not meant to be raised as "pets." Leave them where they are most comfortable, quit trying to domesticate them!
Special to the SWT
Can you help identify this animal from the picture shown here?
It is unclear if this is an unverified picture of a "Bigfoot." It was recently discovered on a "trail cam" placed in the nearby mountains.
It was surprising, to say the least, when I discovered the image on the camera's disc. What in the world can this be?
Carefully scrutinizing the image, it appears that the right arm shows fingers as the animal grasps the base of the tree stump. It also has elongated feet similar to a man's appendages. Its fur is matted on the back but thin on the arms and legs. Unfortunately, the head and face are not shown by the image taken.
I think it must be a bear. It has to be a gear, does it not? I hunt this area annually and have seen no sign of a Bigfoot. I have seen bear scat and tracks before, so I can identify them.
No unidentified tracks, droppings, or any other indications of a large upright predator in the woods have ever been found, that I know of.
There were no discernable tracks on the leaf-covered ground near the camera where it was picked up. The mystery remains!
Your input would be appreciated.

Bear right poor one zoom n on pic u can c hiz nose down towards the right wear az he's dign at tha stump.
Gibbon's don't have tails.
This is definitely a black bear. The hip, back arch and proportions of the limbs and plantigrade feet are dead giveaways. The timestamp betrays that the bear may be molting. The seeming appearance of "no hair" on the arm may be due to a combination of molting, the angle of the shot and how the camera processed the light and shadow. Cameras of that type are not typically very high resolution and are prone to making areas of low contrast appear to be of one consistent shade thus making the arm look hairless. What may also be playing a part in the appearance of the condition of the fur is a type of mange caused by a type of mite that is affecting larger populations of bears recently. In Marion County, Florida more than half of the black bear population suffers this condition, and appear even stranger than the one in this photo.
Definitely a black bear. You can see the top of its head and nose over the top of the right foreleg. It's either recently been in water, so the hair is matted down, or it's unhealthy. The fur looks light, but black bears have a ruff on their shoulders that looks like this when they bend down.
That's obviously a bear.
It looks like a ape of some kind or a large cat because I think I seen a tail between the back legs!
Its a squatch! Call the Matt Moneymaker with the BFRO!
I agree with Jeff. Send this to the BFRO team and Cliff Barackman.

(and largest city)
|John X
|Roman scudo
The States of the Church, more commonly called the Papal States, is a theocratic elective monarchy established in 754. It is ruled over by the Pope, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, who is chosen by the senior clergymen residing in or around Rome.
The Papal States were established when Pepin the Short donated Lombard conquests to the Papacy in 754 and again in 756. However, the Pope's prestige declined beginning in the mid-ninth century. By the year 900, the Pope had almost no actual temporal power.
Benedict IV
When Benedict IV ascended to the Papal throne, he had high hopes. Almost immediately, he invited the Patriarch of the East to Rome in order to improve relations. However, despite the Patriarch being enthusiastic to the idea, he never actually came to Rome until recently. His lack of response was a source of constant frustration for Benedict, and eventually, it led to illness. Benedict IV was bedridden, while his friend Sergio took over most of the administrative work. The Patriarch and the Pope eventually reached an agreement and Benedict slowly began to recover. Sadly, Benedict was killed when Sergio went mad and stabbed him at one of his speeches. He was replaced by Leo V.
Rise and Fall of the Sergians
After Sergio took over, he became the unofficial leader of a new faction of Romans, the Sergians. Starting out as just a group of Sergio's followers, their numbers swelled. Although they remained a minority, they were quickly growing.
The Sergians were based on strong anti-Byzantine and anti-Muslim beliefs. They demanded an end to the meetings between the Pope and the Patriarch and the cessation of all relations with the Eastern Roman Empire. The Sergians also wished for the Muslim empires to be destroyed and replaced with Christian kingdoms.
Sergians became unpopular in the Papal States after Sergio's assassination of Pope Benedict IV. Sergio was killed shortly after, but many Sergian leaders managed to flee to Croatia. The Sergians gained enough influence to eventually have the East Frankish king under their control, but that only lasted for a few years. They now hide in Croatia, slowly being eliminated by the combined forces of Venice, the Eastern Roman Empire, and the Papal States.
Foreign Relations
The Papal States are allied with Italy, Benevento, Salerno, the Eastern Roman Empire, and Venice and are on good terms with Alba. They have a tense relationship with the Kievan Rus', who recently denied Catholic missionaries into their country. Relationships with Muslim nations vary from neutral to hostile. However, they are generally negative towards any other religion.

Multi-generation Family Cruise - no kids: Norwegian Epic Cruise Review by jaw070701
Overall Member Rating
Multi-generation Family Cruise - no kids
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
We are a family of 7 (ages 34-88) travelling together in 4 cabins. We had a studio, 2 deluxe balconies and a spa balcony. We loved our balcony but it really could only hold 2 people comfortably. My dad loved his studio - found it to be just about right sized. Though he did want a chair so he could watch some football in the cabin. The family members in the deluxe balconies were disappointed - in the size (previously they have had suites) and the bathroom.
We really enjoyed all the on board offerings. We really liked Cirque dreams the best (dinner was hit or miss - if you like fillet at medium or medium rare you are in luck - if not you may be a little hungry). We thought the acts were fantastic.
For the most part was very good. We ate at all the included venues, Cirque Dreams, Murder Mystery and Le Bistro. We really liked that the cheesecake (our favorite) was available every night. The buffet was a hit with the More in-laws. They like all the choices available and really liked the carved turkey one evening. Also, for any sized table (from 2 -7) we never had to wait more than 3 minutes.
We did the western route with stops in Costa Maya, Roatan and Cozumel. We did private and ship excursions. All of the ship's excursions were very good; on time with good guides (Costa Maya - ruins, Roatan - dolphins, Miami - everglades). Our private excursions were great also. We went to Maya Chan, Sante Spa and scuba diving with Scubatony. I would highly recommend these private excursions. They are a pleasure to deal with before, during and after the excursion.
We had a great time on board and wished we had some more time to really relax. Even though it was the largest ship the family had been on before no one got lost (which is very different for us). We liked the casino and had no problems with smoke. We would go back. Less

cheapest place to buy a gun?
Ok, so i have finally decided on the firearm i am going to get. A hi point 995ts, But where can i buy one cheap? Ill be living in Arizona by the end of July or sooner and im not sure where to go. I was thinking maybe a gun show but i have heard sometimes people sell stolen guns and alot of widely known gun stores(cabelas bass pro shop, gander mtn etc.)all have pretty high prices most of the time. However i have seen reasonably priced rifles at cabelas where do you guys recommend i go?
by cheap i mean like 300 or less id only pay 300 if it came with accesories.
forgot to mention that i want somewhere local near Gilbert , AZ
Please explain how a 14 year old can buy ANY gun??? :confused::confused:
Me smells troll...:mad:
On a corner En Su bario. ;)
Try shootersworld here in az
Do some googling and find a gun shop to talk to when you get there or buy it now where you live. Theres local shops that can match gunbroker and not have to deal with a local ffl dealers add on cost and no one gets deals at cabela's, bass pro, and the likes.
Better let dad deal with buying a pistol. but for 300 dollars there or other choices. Think used too.
Beast- as we have discussed, your Mom will need to work out how and if she would have a gun in the house with the problems your stepdad has legally- and as pointed out, YOU have 7 years before YOU can make a purchase.
Folks- Beast is a minor, and his stepdad has a felony conviction. While your input is well meant, without the backstory, the advice does not work.
Beast- hardest thing in the world for a teen to do. Wait.

The 'Whip My Hair' hitmaker is lying in bed with a shirtless Moises Arias sitting behind her and holding a pillow.
Pictures of Willow Smith lying in bed with 20-year-old Moises Arias cause a fuss on the internet. In the black-and-white pictures, Moises is pictured sitting against the wall behind the 13-year-old songstress. In one pic, he is having a big laugh.
The two are not cuddling or cozying up to each other, but some fans call the pictures "inappropriate" as they show a shirtless Moises holding a pillow and sporting disheveled hair. The photos were first posted on his Tumblr, but now have been removed.
Moises is an actor best known for his role as Rico in Disney's "Hannah Montana". His Tumblr page is filled with pictures from Coachella with Willow, her brother Jaden Smith, and their celebrity friends Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner.
Requests for comments are not immediately returned by both Willow and Moises. Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett Smith also haven't commented on the matter, but Will once said of their parenting, "We don't do punishment."
He told Metro, "The way that we deal with our kids is, they are responsible for their lives. Our concept is, as young as possible, give them as much control over their lives as possible and the concept of punishment, our experience has been - it has a little too much of a negative quality."
"So when they do things - and you know, Jaden, he's done things - you can do anything you want as long as you can explain to me why that was the right thing to do for your life."

Enhancing Bank Transparency: What Role for the Supervision Authority?
We apply a three-tier hierarchical model of regulation, developed along the lines of Laffont and Tirole (1993), to an adverse selection problem in the corporate bond market. The bank brings the bonds to the market and informs the potential buyers about the bond risks; a unique benevolent public authority aims at maximising investors welfare. The main goal is to investigate whether this unique authority is able to fully inform the market on a firms true credit worthiness when banks, in order to recover doubtful credits, favour the placement of bonds issued by levered firms by concealing their true risk. By establishing the necessary conditions that allow optimal sanctions to produce the first best equilibrium, we show that the core problem of adverse selection in the corporate bond market does not lie so much in the benevolence of the delegated monitoring system, but rather in the possibility of affecting and sanctioning a firms behaviour.

Hi, out there. We are still here, still surviving. Once again, I've been avoiding posting. Not because I don't have anything to say. Rather I have too much to say and I've been battling with how much to say, how to phrase it and does it need to be said.
When Gregory was diagnosed in February, Larry's and my marriage was quite finished. Had been for sometime. As juvenile as this may sound, after nearly 13 years together, I still expected a brilliant "ah-ha" moment to rush in and rescue our stalemate. I honestly believed that a partnership should not be as much work as ours was. Cancer entered our lives and everything as we knew it ceased to exist. We made the decision to divide and conquer. I traveled the three hundred miles with Gregory for five months of treatment and he stayed behind. "Minding the store". During that time barriers were broken and bridges were being built. Staying home to care for Curtis and AnnMarie, working and trying to stay sane is no easier than what I faced. I was careful of how I shared my experience with Larry. I did not lean on him for support, knowing that he was helpless to help, being so far away. Also, he was not able to be at Gregory's side. If things had gone haywire, he would have gotten there as quickly as possible, yet I'm sure there would have been regret and guilt, too. I did not want him to feel any regret or guilt for not being able to be with us. As it grew closer to us coming home, I started to open up more. It's continued since we have been closer to home and we have had a chance to be together, occasionaly. This ia a man I do not want to risk losing, without really seeing where it will go. Which means we have a lot of work to do. I do not share deeply personal stuff easily. I keep it sequestered away. Out of sight, out of mind. My heart has been broken, I'm examining it's contents, dusting off the pieces and trying to figure out how to use it again. This man that I've shared a third of my life with means more to me than I allowed myself to acknowledge. I love, respect and trust him, more than anyone else who has ever crossed my path. I have no expectations, though. I've realized that no matter how this pans out, it will be OK. Not without giving it a chance, first. We have lost the luxury of looking to the future. We are now taking each day as it comes and seeing where it goes. It's all we can do, at least for the time being.
I've shared more than I intended. This is what's it's all about, though. The last two months have been about adjusting to not being in Seattle. Trying to find a grove with Gregory's care and slowly coming back to HomeHome. It's been a mental shift that has been very hard for me. I did not plan on needing to focus so much of my energy on Gregory's care. The last few weeks I've been trying to weave what we've experienced, what we are currently going through, with the life that Larry, Curtis and AnnMarie have been living. Coming to terms with the simple fact that I cannot compartmentalize Gregory's illness. It will need to become part of "us", meaning all five of us. I'm also worried about how Gregory will adjust to me not being at his beck and call 24/7. There will be times when he will need some patience and times when I will not be available for the other three. There really is not much I can do from here, but we can talk about it and I can react to his non-emergent needs with less urgency. I still am not sure when we will be HomeHome, I hope it is soon. This really is the best place for Gregory, for now, which is the bottom line. I really miss my family, though and cannot wait to be with them.
Gregory has been having such a hard time with his Gut GVH. Last Wednesday he started throwing up late afternoon. For the next several hours, we paused his feeds, had some anti-nausea meds and he continued to puke, everytime I turned his feeds back on. I think he puked four or five times, with his nG tube coming out with the last one. Knowing he hadn't had any fluids for several hours and wouldn't until we had a new tube placed, late the next day, I called the doctor to see if we needed to come in for IV fluids and meds. Since the tube was gone, there would be no meds, either. Surprisingly, he recommended that we stay home and come in the next morning. We had labs drawn. Between Doc, nutrition and myself we worked out another game plan. We decreased the concentration of his formula by 50%. This was started again at the slow rate, building up to his maintenance rate. He also suggested that we decrease his Beclomethasone by half. This is one of the topical steroids that Gregory takes orally. The drug did not seem to be working and Doc mentioned that Gregory may be experiencing drug toxicity. It's a med that needs to be tappered, not simply discontinued. So he is currently twice a day, versus four times a day. With the other topical orally steroid still twice a day. (I should mention that before Gregory started throwing up he was experiencing belly cramps, gas, frequent diarrhea and headaches.) Since we have started the new feeding schedule he is once agian improving. His caloric needs are not being met, but with the steroid weight and his medication supplementation, there is little worry. He did take a small dip in his weight between last Monday and Thursday. From 15.4 to 14.8 kg. I haven't had a chance to question doc about this yet, but his ANC is diving. I'm hoping that it has been artificially inflated and the current trend will stop. Last Monday it was 7300ish. This Monday it was 5400ish. Thursday it was 2616. He's also been throwing small amounts of varying white cells that I haven't seen on his labs for quite some time. Doc says the other cells are not to worry about, but I forgot to ask about his ANC. We go in again on Tuesday so I won't worry too much about it until I see Tuesdays results.
Friday was my day to do grocery shopping. Mom came out to sit with Gregory. There were several things on my list that I did not think I would find in Post Falls. Mom suggested I hit Fred Meyer on Sullivan. GREAT idea. It's not too far away and has a bigger selection. Boy, was that a mistake. I walked into the store and was immediately hit with tremondous amounts of over stimulation. There were soooooo many people, way too much point-of-sale stuff, holiday decorations, holiday promotions, too much light, too much noise and just so many people. Add to it the fact that the store has been rearranged since I was last there. I'm not prone to anxiety or panic attacks. I was having a really rough time of it on Friday. It was super cold out, too and I was dressed for it. I should have taken my coat off, but the my coat, scarf and had was added security. By the time I got to the check-out stand, I had sweat dripping down my back. I will be sticking to Post Falls grocery stores until the holiday season is over. I'm not about to put myself in that situation again. Not yet. Not to mention the germ worries, too. It's really hard to keep a three foot radius when it's that busy. *shiver*
Needless to say, the last few weeks have been so incredibly emotional. My well of strength finally runeth over and I've cried more in the last week than I have the last nine months before. Which is not a bad thing. I knew it would break eventually. I find myself quite teary eyed, though. The smallest comment, action or thought will cause my eyes to bubble over. I know it's part of the whole "broken heart, now let's use it again" thing. Gregory made a wish on a star the other night and his wish was to have Daddy, Sissy and Curtis come out to the lake. All five of us were together for Thanksgiving and it truly was the greatest Thanksgiving, ever. Super simple and totally roughing it, but we were all together. I must admit, we even used paper plates to dine off of. *hangs head in shame, but not really.* The most important people in my life were with me. Starting to try and figure out what's next and how to get through it. Moment to moment. I'm spent, guys. 'til later, gotta jet.

Religious leaders will be holding a prayer vigil tonight within the shadow of the U.S. Capitol at Trinity Lutheran Church here in Washington to urge passage of the DREAM Act. Among those in attendance will be Lucina Martinez, a nineteen year old girl from San Antonio who has been on a 27-day hunger strike to urge Congress to pass the DREAM Act.
Of course, what they need to pray for is some courage in the ranks of Republicans who have supported the bill in the past but who are now nervously looking over their should at the prospect of a Tea Party challenger, arguing that they voted for amnesty.
Hey, if someone is brought to this country as a child by their parents, is forced to live in the shadows, and still wants to serve this country in the military or by going to college, they have done more to earn their citizenship than most of us. I wish there was some possibility for an amendment that would strip feckless, cowardly Republicans Senators of their citizenship if they voted for the DREAM Act previously but are running from it now.

Blue-skinned aliens and fans wielding lightsabers will be out in force at sci-fi and fantasy convention Supanova.
Devotees of sci-fi, fantasy and popular culture are well known for their obsession for dressing up at conventions. Such is their dedication to their costumes - often handcrafted lovingly by the fans themselves - that they are sometimes indistinguishable from the heroes and heroines of print and screen.
So when the real thing decides to gatecrash the party, fans could be forgiven for being fooled. ''A couple of years ago Johnny Depp dressed himself up as his own character, Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean, and circled around the San Diego Comic-Con pretending to be a fan pretending to be him dressed as the pirate,'' Supanova organiser Daniel Zachariou says.
''Everybody told him what an outstanding cosplay [costume roleplay] it was and he ended up in hundreds of fan photos without them knowing it was actually him.''
Started in 2002 by Zachariou, Supanova is a popular-culture convention that celebrates everything from sci-fi to movies, television shows, manga, anime and more. It features a cavalcade of reigning and former pop-culture stars, such as Eliza Dushku (Dollhouse, Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Lou Ferrigno (The Incredible Hulk), Michael Winslow (the Police Academy movies) and Charisma Carpenter (Buffy, Angel), who will take part in talks, autograph signings (average price $30), panels and posing with fans for photos.
Zachariou says the typical person who comes to Supanova is between the ages of 13 and 35.
''It used to be more about the boys but these days there are just as many girls, particularly because they really love to get dressed up as their favourite characters.''
Were all these Frodos bullied at school, then? ''Definitely not. Maybe once upon a time all this stuff was considered uncool but, considering how many people love things like Star Wars, Harry Potter, Twilight and Lord of the Rings, that's no longer the case.''
Some fans take things to an obsessive degree: you'll meet people dressed up as everything from Superman to the Joker to the blue people from Avatar.
It's the one place where you'll be comfortable walking around with a lightsaber on your belt, a pair of Vulcan ears or your face painted like Bruce Lee's son from The Crow.
And the fans are ardent in their passions: previous Supanova star Summer Glau (Serenity) admitted fans had asked to marry her (she refused, and also refused to marry Metro's correspondent). Does Zachariou ever think to himself, ''Oh my God, get these geeks away from me''?
''No way! We are geekdom. We are their home away from home.''
When I break the news that my tattoo was in fact temporary, the reactions have varied from funny to scary.
Winslow hasn't done a whole lot in, say, 10 years or so. Would it be sad to have on your tombstone: ''Here lies Michael Winslow, best known for doing the funny sounds in the Police Academy films''? ''Michael loves the fact so many people recognise him from those films,'' Zachariou says.
Does Supanova have to employ ''nerd wranglers'' to make sure the fans don't get too close to the likes of Dushku? ''We have wonderful volunteers who help in that regard.''
Dushku says some of her most hilarious fan interactions have included ''when a Buffy fan has gotten the exact tattoo I wore on my arm - it was a decal! - as Faith in Buffy''.
''Thinking mine was a real tattoo, they will want to take a photo with our 'matching' ink. When I break the news that my tattoo was in fact temporary, the reactions have varied from funny to scary.''
Does Dushku like wearing her Dollhouse or Buffy costumes for fun? ''I do not. Those costumes remain in warehouses somewhere in Hollywood. But I do break out black leather pants and channel some of my tough and sexy counterparts for a night out here and there.''
Would she go out with a guy who went to sci-fi or fantasy conventions? ''I'm happily in a relationship and my guy will be attending Supanova with me, so there you have it.''
Zachario says that when it comes to dressing up, ''as a single licence, definitely Star Wars-related characters are the most popular but as a genre it's anime all the way''.
TAFE student Christie Lee represents part of the female fan base that has turned conventions from testosterone-fests to all-inclusive events. She won last year's national Supanova cosplay competition for dressing up as Alice, a character from a manga called Pandora Hearts, ''a twisted version of Alice in Wonderland, with a big, pouffy dress''.
''It's like gaining the chance to express your love for a particular manga or a show and show it off to the world and hopefully get people interested in watching it or reading it,'' Lee says. ''Also, just being able to show your skills at design, because some people who come to conventions have studied fashion design and ask, 'How did you make that?' and you say, like, 'Using this fabric.'
''It's not just pretty dresses but armour and big, humongous weapons and stuff that you don't see every day.
''You can see families dressed up like stormtroopers, people dressed up as Trekkies … it's like you're walking around in Disneyland.''

East Ridge girls basketball: Raptors earn split in two conference tilts
Despite scoring 40 or less points in two straight games, the East Ridge girls basketball team was able to split two games last week.
On Tuesday, the Raptors (8-9, 3-8 in Suburban East Conference) played a defensive battle against Stillwater and came away with a 40-33 victory.
Junior forward Jamie Swanson scored almost half of her team's points, finishing with 19 points. Senior guard Hannah Pignato added 11.
Senior forward Paige Becker was the only player from Stillwater to hit double digits. She finished with 11 points.
Friday, however, didn't go as well. East Ridge hosted Park and lost 63-36.
Senior guard Larissa Lurken had a spectacular game, leading Park with 26 points. Junior guard Sydney Lamberty added 15.
Only Swanson led the way with 14 points. No other Raptor was able to score more than seven points.
East Ridge finds itself near the bottom of the Suburban East Conference sitting in eight place behind Roseville (18-1, 11-0 SEC), Park, Woodbury (10-7, 7-4 SEC), White Bear Lake (8-11, 7-4 SEC), Forest Lake (14-4, 7-4 SEC), Mounds View (10-9, 6-5 SEC) and Cretin-Derham Hall (8-10, 5-6 SEC).
Monday of this week, the Raptors went to play White Bear Lake and on Thursday, they will host Woodbury.
East Ridge has played both teams earlier this season and lost both times.

Obama and the Freedom Of Choice Act
Below is the text of the legislation that Obama is pledged to sign. Here is an analysis from Americans United for Life assessing the likely impact of the Freedom of Choice Act. Obama is the most pro-abortion candidate to ever run for national office on a major party ticket.
Text of the Freedom of Choice Act:
(1) The United States was founded on core principles, such as liberty, personal privacy, and equality, which ensure that individuals are free to make their most intimate decisions without governmental interference and discrimination.(2) One of the most private and difficult decisions an individual makes is whether to begin, prevent, continue, or terminate a pregnancy. Those reproductive health decisions are best made by women, in consultation with their loved ones and health care providers.(3) In 1965, in Griswold v. Connecticut (381 U.S. 479), and in 1973, in Roe v. Wade (410 U.S. 113) and Doe v. Bolton (410 U.S. 179), the Supreme Court recognized that the right to privacy protected by the Constitution encompasses the right of every woman to weigh the personal, moral, and religious considerations involved in deciding whether to begin, prevent, continue, or terminate a pregnancy.(4) The Roe v. Wade decision carefully balances the rights of women to make important reproductive decisions with the State's interest in potential life. Under Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, the right to privacy protects a woman's decision to choose to terminate her pregnancy prior to fetal viability, with the State permitted to ban abortion after fetal viability except when necessary to protect a woman's life or health.(5) These decisions have protected the health and lives of women in the United States. Prior to the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, an estimated 1,200,000 women each year were forced to resort to illegal abortions, despite the risk of unsanitary conditions, incompetent treatment, infection, hemorrhage, disfiguration, and death. Before Roe, it is estimated that thousands of women died annually in the United States as a result of illegal abortions.(6) In countries in which abortion remains illegal, the risk of maternal mortality is high. According to the World Health Organization, of the approximately 600,000 pregnancy-related deaths occurring annually around the world, 80,000 are associated with unsafe abortions.(7) The Roe v. Wade decision also expanded the opportunities for women to participate equally in society. In 1992, in Planned Parenthood v. Casey (505 U.S. 833), the Supreme Court observed that, `[t]he ability of women to participate equally in the economic and social life of the Nation has been facilitated by their ability to control their reproductive lives.'.(8) Even though the Roe v. Wade decision has stood for more than 34 years, there are increasing threats to reproductive health and freedom emerging from all branches and levels of government. In 2006, South Dakota became the first State in more than 15 years to enact a ban on abortion in nearly all circumstances. Supporters of this ban have admitted it is an attempt to directly challenge Roe in the courts. Other States are considering similar bans.(9) Further threatening Roe, the Supreme Court recently upheld the first-ever Federal ban on an abortion procedure, which has no exception to protect a woman's health. The majority decision in Gonzales v. Carhart (05-380, slip op. April 18, 2007) and Gonzales v. Planned Parenthood Federation of America fails to protect a woman's health, a core tenet of Roe v. Wade. Dissenting in that case, Justice Ginsburg called the majority's opinion `alarming', and stated that, `[f]or the first time since Roe, the Court blesses a prohibition with no exception safeguarding a woman's health'. Further, she said, the Federal ban `and the Court's defense of it cannot be understood as anything other than an effort to chip away at a right declared again and again by this Court'.(10) Legal and practical barriers to the full range of reproductive services endanger women's health and lives. Incremental restrictions on the right to choose imposed by Congress and State legislatures have made access to reproductive care extremely difficult, if not impossible, for many women across the country. Currently, 87 percent of the counties in the United States have no abortion provider.(11) While abortion should remain safe and legal, women should also have more meaningful access to family planning services that prevent unintended pregnancies, thereby reducing the need for abortion.(12) To guarantee the protections of Roe v. Wade, Federal legislation is necessary.(13) Although Congress may not create constitutional rights without amending the Constitution, Congress may, where authorized by its enumerated powers and not prohibited by the Constitution, enact legislation to create and secure statutory rights in areas of legitimate national concern.(14) Congress has the affirmative power under section 8 of article I of the Constitution and section 5 of the 14th amendment to the Constitution to enact legislation to facilitate interstate commerce and to prevent State interference with interstate commerce, liberty, or equal protection of the laws.(15) Federal protection of a woman's right to choose to prevent or terminate a pregnancy falls within this affirmative power of Congress, in part, because–
(A) many women cross State lines to obtain abortions and many more would be forced to do so absent a constitutional right or Federal protection;(B) reproductive health clinics are commercial actors that regularly purchase medicine, medical equipment, and other necessary supplies from out-of-State suppliers; and(C) reproductive health clinics employ doctors, nurses, and other personnel who travel across State lines in order to provide reproductive health services to patients.
(1) GOVERNMENT- The term `government' includes a branch, department, agency, instrumentality, or official (or other individual acting under color of law) of the United States, a State, or a subdivision of a State.(2) STATE- The term `State' means each of the States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and each territory or possession of the United States.(3) VIABILITY- The term `viability' means that stage of pregnancy when, in the best medical judgment of the attending physician based on the particular medical facts of the case before the physician, there is a reasonable likelihood of the sustained survival of the fetus outside of the woman.
(1) deny or interfere with a woman's right to choose–(2) discriminate against the exercise of the rights set forth in paragraph (1) in the regulation or provision of benefits, facilities, services, or information.
(A) to bear a child;(B) to terminate a pregnancy prior to viability; or(C) to terminate a pregnancy after viability where termination is necessary to protect the life or health of the woman; or
12 Responses to Obama and the Freedom Of Choice Act
This would federalize every abortion in the sense that any state prohibition or regulation would be superseded…plus Obama's healthcare plan pays for these procedures.
Any pseudo Catholic that votes for this infanticide loving scumbag is in direct contravention with the Bishop of Rome…
I understand the democrat party platform removed the "safe,legal and rare" smokescreen and defined abortion as a "need". In N.J., my old party pushed thru the "clone to kill" bill at a mid-nite session without any news report from the local papers. Assaults against life have sprung up thru-out history. Keep on praying for sanity,work for life and know that we win no matter how hopeless it seems to us.
Carlos, as much as you might not like to admit it, Catholics can licitly vote for Barack Obama if they do not vote for him because of his pro-abortion, pro-ESCR stance. For whatever reason, some people's consciences weigh the current circumstances differently and decide that there are proportionate reasons to vote for Obama.
I say this as someone who does not think such proportionate reasons exist and will not and could not ever vote for Obama.
What follows is a release from the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) in Washington, D.C., issued on Tuesday, October 7, 2008. For further information, call 202-626-8820 or send e-mail to [email protected]. NRLC Legislative Director Douglas Johnson and other NRLC staff persons are available for interviews on the subject of Mr. Johnson's new article on National Review Online, "Unholy Messaging," including radio debates with advocates for Barack Obama.
Barack Obama's sweeping agenda for pro-abortion policy changes examined by NRLC's Douglas Johnson in National Review Online
WASHINGTON (October 7, 2008) — The Obama campaign and its allies have adopted an extensive "messaging strategy" that seeks to persuade religiously committed Americans that Obama has a middle-of-the-road position on abortion policy and will promote "abortion reduction."
Douglas Johnson, longtime legislative director for the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) and author of an article published today on National Review Online, titled "Unholy Messaging," calls the Obama effort "a brazen scam."
"The scam depends on the Obama campaign, with cooperation from the mainstream news media, deflecting attention away from Obama's actual record, and from his extensive commitments to pro-abortion interest groups," Johnson said. "Barack Obama is firmly committed to an agenda of sweeping pro-abortion policy changes that, if implemented, will surely greatly increase the number of abortions performed."
Johnson noted that a few short months ago, during his primary contest, Obama and his advocates were boasting about his record of leadership in opposition to legislation to ban partial-birth abortions, to protect infants born alive during abortions, and to require parental notification for minors seeking abortions, among other pro-life bills. "Those boasts were well-founded, and the current effort to re-package Obama as a moderate is a brazen scam," Johnson said.
The Obama "messaging" campaign includes a recently launched "Faith, Family & Values Tour" that will visit Colorado, Indiana, North Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Florida, New Mexico, Virginia, and Wisconsin. In addition, various independent groups are disseminating advertising and literature that advances the same strategy.
Among the specific Obama positions documented in Johnson's article (which contains extensive hyperlinks to documentation):
— Obama is a cosponsor of the so-called "Freedom of Choice Act" (FOCA, S. 1173), which Johnson calls "the most sweeping piece of pro-abortion legislation ever proposed in Congress." The FOCA is a bill that would make partial-birth abortion legal again, strike down restrictions on taxpayer funding of abortion, and nullify virtually every state and federal law or policy that would in any way "interfere with" access to abortion, including parental notification laws. In a letter sent to every member of Congress by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) on September 19, Cardinal Justin Rigali wrote, "No one who sponsors or supports legislation like FOCA can credibly claim to be part of a good-faith discussion on how to reduce abortions." In a speech to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund on July 17, 2007, Obama said, "The first thing I'd do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. That's the first thing that I'd do."
— Obama advocates the nullification of state laws requiring parental notification or consent for a minor daughter's abortion, which would be one of the effects of the FOCA. Moreover, since entering the U.S. Senate, Obama has had two opportunities to vote directly on the question of parental notification for interstate abortions on minors, and he voted "no" on both occasions.
— Obama advocates repeal of the Hyde Amendment, the law that since 1976 has blocked almost all federal funding of abortion, even though both pro-life and pro-abortion analysts agree that this law has prevented many abortions. By even the most conservative estimate, there are more than one million Americans alive today because of the Hyde Amendment. "Because the Hyde Amendment must be renewed annually, a new president hostile to the Hyde Amendment could quickly place it in jeopardy," Johnson observed. The FOCA would also nullify all state laws restricting state funding of elective abortion.
— In a written response to a pro-abortion advocacy group, the Obama campaign said that Obama is opposed to continuing current federal funding for "crisis pregnancy centers," which provide needed assistance to many thousands of pregnant women.
— NRLC has thoroughly documented that in the Illinois state Senate, Obama led the opposition to legislation to protect babies who are born alive during abortions, and persisted in his opposition even after Congress had enacted a virtually identical federal bill without a single dissenting vote. Obama has in numerous ways actively misrepresented the content of this legislation, and his actions on it, but even when such misrepresentations were proved by NRLC and others, the major media simply let Obama abandon them and fall back to a different set of equally misleading claims.
In his article, Johnson criticizes recent coverage in the "mainstream news media," which, he writes, "have, with few exceptions, been very compliant with Obama's recent efforts to downplay his hard-line pro-abortion history and policy commitments, for the purpose of winning the general election." Typically, journalists simply describe Obama's position as "supports abortion rights," without giving details regarding his advocacy of federal funding of abortion, invalidation of parental notification laws, and the rest.
NRLC Legislative Director Douglas Johnson and other NRLC staff persons are available for interviews on the subject of the Obama agenda on abortion, including radio debates with advocates for Barack Obama. Call 202-626-8820.
Mr. Johnson's article has been cross-posted on the NRLC website under the title "Efforts to Sell Obama to Pro-Life Americans Collide With His Support for Sweeping Pro-abortion Policy Changes."
Zach, you seem to be misinformed. Catholics, considering the stands or platforms of the current nominees, can not vote for Obama 'licitly'. Simply stated, intrinsic evils (like abortion) can not ever be ignored and take priority over other issues in weighing factors that contribute to your decision.
Secondly, any Catholic who feels his or conscience allows for proportionate reasoning that ignores the life issues, is not judging with a clear, informed conscience but rather has had their conscience cluttered by societal peer pressure. When in doubt, turn to the Magisterium of the Church and vote on the side of what the Church teaches.
In this particular election, a Roman Catholic MAY NOT vote for Obama, even if they are not voting specifically because he is pro abortion. They would be able to vote for Obama ONLY if Mc Cain would kill over 45 million babies…in the womb or alive….or their mothers…there has to be, according to Rome and our Bishops, a 'proportionate' reason…since already over 45 million human babies have been killed in the womb, Mc Cain would have to pledge to kill more than that amount, or kill their mothers or….SOMETHING FAR WORSE! Since that is not the case, a Catholic may not vote for Obama…it's not simply a matter of conscience…but of an INFORMED conscience…informed by the authorities in the Church and by the teaching of Christ in Scripture and through the teaching authority and tradition of our Church….Sam
I can see the argument that certain policies reduce the abortion rate, therefore, one for other reasons and lowering the number of abortions. But given the circumstances, I find that the arguments for proportionate reasons very thin. If the Democrats take greater majorities in Congress (and they will) and Obama signs in FOCA — eliminating every pro-life law, and he replaces the 88 year old pro-choice Supreme Court Justice that's expected to retire in the next presidency with another pro-choice Justice instead of a pro-life Justice giving us enough to overturn Roe v. Wade, and he funds abortion via the medium of universal healthcare, making it free and accessible at all nine of months of pregnancy, the question is how can one argue that the abortion rate will go down?
Inevitably, I don't see how a good Catholic can vote for Obama and I think I can fairly say, of Catholics loyal to the magisterium, I'm pretty liberal and even I cannot see this.
Correction: "one for other reasons and lowering the number of abortions" votes for a pro-choice candidate.
I deeply question the judgment of any "pro-choice" politician and find it extremely unlikely that I could ever vote for one, but Zach is correct: the Church does hold that it *can* be permissible for a Catholic to vote for a "pro-choice" politician, if there are — as he notes — proportionate reasons. Like Zach, I cannot see any reasons justifying a vote for Obama, but we cannot overstate the Church's teaching to mean that a vote for him would be *necessarily* wrong for a particular voter.
In a joint letter with Archbishop Joseph Naumann in Kansas City, Kansas, and Bishop Robert Finn wrote:
"If we are inclined to vote for someone despite their pro-abortion stance, it seems we are morally obliged to establish a proportionate reason sufficient to justify the destruction of 45 million human persons through abortion.
"If we learn that our 'candidate of choice' further pledges – through an instrument such as FOCA – to eliminate all existing limitations against abortion, it is that much more doubtful whether voting for him or her can ever be morally justified under any circumstance." (CNA)

Queen Award {ED10134}
Inspired by our collection of vintage medals and prize ribbons, we designed these award for any accomplishment, big or small. Created entirely by hand in our Boston studio, this collection of awards features German dresden, satin & velvet ribbon, ephemera and brass jewelry findings. Each award includes a ribbon loop for easy hanging as a decorative accent. Due to the fragile nature of the gold foil paper these awards are not meant to be worn. Made by hand in limited quantities and made in the USA. About 4" x 9".

A GROUP of teenagers have graffiti sprayed the entire wall of a club — but under the watchful eye of two professional artists.
About 15 young people from Bicester have made the wall at the Courtyard, in Launton Road, their own.
Youngsters, aged 11 to 16, were given the title 'My Perfect Summer' and then the gauntlet was laid for them to work together to create a mural.
It has been decorated with colourful pictures including a giant octopus, a surfer's camper van and rockets in space.
The group were given tips of the trade by professional graffiti artists Kleiner-Shames and Patch Plummer.
As well as painting the mural, youths have also designed T-shirts and created canvases using urban art techniques.
The project, organised by OYAP Trust and funded by the Bicester Courtyard Youth Arts Partnership, is part of the summer programme.
Elaine North, team leader at the Bicester Early Intervention hub which is based at the Courtyard, said: "The imagination of the young people and their inventive ideas for the mural has really brightened up the hub at the Courtyard."
One of the young people taking part yesterday was Jay Spinks, pictured, on his 12th birthday.
The Cooper School pupil from Bicester said: "The whole week was awesome but I particularly liked spray painting and designing my own T-shirt."

H&M Partners With The Whitney Museum And Jeff Koons on New Fifth Avenue Flagship
Swedish retailer H&M is gearing up to open their largest flagship at Fifth Avenue and 48th Street in the heart of Manhattan. The store will be 57,000 square feet and the company just announced is being designed to look like an art museum. H&M is teaming up with artist Jeff Koons on the July 17 opening in conjunction with Koon's highly anticipated retrospective at the Whitney Museum of Art, running June 27 to Oct. 19. Koons is best known for his "balloon" sculptures.
Koons designed a limited-edition Balloon Dog handbag for H&M that will be sold in select markets for $49.95, as well as online starting July 17. The handbag will also be sold at the Whitney during the retrospective, which H&M is sponsoring.
"It's one of our most important openings of the year," said a spokeswoman. "This is the first time H&M has partnered with an artist and sponsored a museum show in the U.S."
"The partnership with H&M was really exciting for me," Koons said. "The chance to showcase one of my most popular works to a new generation of people was inspiring. H&M delivers great fashion season after season and [it will be] nice to see my work at their new store."
The Yellow Balloon Dog will be blown up to cover the flagship's five-story windows with a message reading "Fashion Loves Art" to celebrate the store opening.

New Lynn unique high rise street in the sky
New Lynn unique high rise street in the sky
Work on stage two of west Auckland's first high-rise has begun and will create a novel 'street in the sky'.
Merchant Quarter Mews is being built beside the 10-storey apartment tower currently under construction on top of the roof of Auckland Council's five-storey car park (future proofed by the council to ensure this build could happen) in McCrae Way, New Lynn.
Eighteen double-storey and two single storey maisonette apartments will form an open-air laneway on either side the carpark's rooftop, believed to be unique in New Zealand.
The apartments are part of Auckland Council's $35 million redevelopment of New Lynn's Merchant Quarter which already features a new shared space, public car parking building, 7000 square metres of commercial and retail space and a main street upgrade - all sitting alongside the award-winning, underground rail station and public transport interchange.
Opposite the Merchant Quarter, a brownfield redevelopment precinct will be created. Crown Lynn will be a mixed-use neighbourhood built around a stunning new park. The council has a $38million budget for Crown Lynn which will make the single biggest contribution to achieving the vision target of 20,000 people living within walking distance of the transit station and help deliver on the Auckland Plan.
"There's just something about New Lynn," says Deputy Mayor Penny Hulse. "It's got magic. It gave us the country's first shopping mall 50 years ago and now we are seeing this stunning street in the sky concept. In its special fashion, New Lynn is showing the rest of Auckland what a vibrant, compact city can look like."
The apartment tower featuring 110 one and two-bedroom apartments is due to be finished in June 2014 with the Mews completed in August. Work began in July last year and the rapid construction times are a result of a combination of methodology and concentration of effort by the builders.
"We can have up to 250 builders on site at peak times which means the job is done efficiently, effectively and quickly," says Tasman Cook's Vaughn Foster.
Nearly all of the tower apartments which offer great views have been sold, mainly to people planning to live there and some investors, meaning there will be apartments to rent. About 15 percent have been sold to older people looking to down-size and enjoy an accessible integrated, award-winning transport hub, a first-class medical centre and a more pleasant and pedestrian-friendly high street at the front door.
"Apartments are an increasing choice for many people and the tower builds on a number of projects already delivered in New Lynn," says Ms Hulse. "New Lynn is rapidly becoming one of the most important town centres in Auckland to work, do business, go shopping and for bars, restaurants, cafes and entertainment."
The Mews is being built by Kalmar Construction for developer Tasman Cook, who is also about to start two other significant projects - a 42 apartment block in Browns Bay and a complex called Brickworks at another town centre in the making, Hobsonville Point.

Durban - An independent inquiry should be conducted into the deaths of eight people during a fitness test for traffic officer positions, the IFP said on Tuesday.
"Only an independent commission of inquiry chaired by a retired judge can do justice to the investigation of the circumstances of this tragedy," MPL Blessed Gwala said on Tuesday.
He said the matter had been swept under the carpet with an internal inquiry.
More than 34,000 people applied for 90 advertised trainee posts. About 15,600 of them went through the fitness test in December.
Eight people died and an unknown number collapsed because of the heat and had to be taken to hospital.
Gwala criticised transport MEC Willies Mchunu for failing to take responsibility, and for not taking disciplinary steps against those who were responsible for the recruiting process.
"It now falls to the premier to approach the KwaZulu-Natal judge president to recommend a suitable individual to chair a judicial commission of inquiry into the incident, and ensure an independent investigation that will assign personal responsibility for the tragedy and offer closure to the families of the eight victims."
Premier spokesman Ndabezinhle Sibiya said the premier had set up a formal inquiry to investigate the matter.
The premier called on all political parties and leaders to work together with the formal inquiry, Sibiya said.
He said people from outside who wanted to contribute were welcome to make input to strengthen the inquiry and ensure that it was independent. - Sapa

- How to Read a Study Record
Pacemakers are implantable devices that pace (electrically stimulate) the heart. Some pacemakers have special programs to treat irregular atrial rhythms(top chambers of the heart beat too fast or too slow). Advances in pacemaker technology in recent years include features that automatically adapt to patient conditions without intervention from the clinician. Adapta (Model #ADDR01) is a new pacemaker that is designed to provide further automaticity advances by including the managed ventricular pacing (MVP) feature designed to promote intrinsic conduction (natural flow of electricity in the heart) by reducing unnecessary ventricular (lower chamber of the heart) pacing (electrical impulses). Adapta also contains a feature called TherapyGuide that is designed to allow the user to select certain conditions for each subject and receive a list of suggested pacemaker parameter value changes based on those conditions. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the overall system safety and clinical performance of the Adapta pacing system.
