'Teen Mom 2′ Star Leah Messer-Calvert Reveals Daughter Has Muscular Dystrophy
Leah Messer-Calvert of 'Teen Mom 2′ has documented her struggles with her daughter Aliannah's developmental delays for the past four years. She has now revealed the little girl's devastating diagnosis.
As it turns out, Aliannah, who has a twin named Aleeah, has muscular dystrophy. She has been stricken with a rare and incurable form of the disease, which sees muscles weaken. The condition gets progressively worse over time.
In an interview with In Touch, the young mom revealed, "We were scared because we didn't know what her future was going to look like, but we always pushed for answers. We never gave up, and we never will. We'll do everything we can to make sure Ali has the life that she needs."
Messer-Calvert, 21, revealed that the disease will affect the little girl's respiratory system. "The bigger she gets and the more weight she gains, the harder it'll be for her muscles to carry the weight," Leah revealed.
Translation: Ali will eventually be confined to a wheelchair. To accommodate her, Leah and second husband Jeremy Calvert are selling their home, which they only recently purchased, in favor of a dwelling that is handicap accessible.
Despite the diagnosis, the family will do everything in its power to allow sweet little Ali to enjoy the full life she deserves.
Ali's diagnosis has made the extended family closer. Leah's ex-husband Corey Simms, who is the father of the twins, is there and supporting the ladies. "Ali's condition has brought us all extremely close together. We have to stay strong for Ali, and things are going good."
We will keep precious little Ali in our thoughts and prayers.

Let's face it, ya couldn't make one of these cable assemblies for this price; the connectors alone would cost more. I've had years of good experiences with Hosa cables. I could write pages extolling the quality of them but that would be far beyond the scope of this forum. Very flexible cable, well made re. the connectors which are metal.

Expert Math Tutoring with StudyPoint
Dear Parent —
You remember the feeling - the teacher writes a math problem on the board and quickly demonstrates the solution. Ninety percent of it goes over your head, but you're too nervous or embarrassed to ask the teacher to explain it again…or to explain it another way. You figure your friends all must understand every word, because they're not asking any questions.
If you are researching math tutoring the chances are that your child is experiencing this same feeling right now. He or she may be feeling overwhelmed, and as much as you want to see your child be successful at school, seeing your son or daughter struggle with math is likely taking an emotional toll on you, as well.
Whether it's Algebra or Calculus, Geometry or Arithmetic, at some point nearly everyone struggles with math class. (According to a 1999 UN study, 70% of students worldwide work with a tutor by the time they graduate from high school, most of them for help in math!) It's a challenging subject that doesn't come naturally for most of us - and my own experience is a great example. Through elementary and the beginning of middle school math was always one of my favorite classes. Then came algebra, and with it a class in which I had always been self-confident turned into one that I dreaded attending.
Fortunately for me, my parents signed me up with a great tutor - Ms. Stetson. She was patient, she explained the concepts in a way and at a pace that fit my learning needs, and she built up my confidence so I could get back to enjoying math class.
Sometimes all that's needed is a little personalized attention. We have a great staff of expert math tutors, and we would love to be a resource for your family this school year!

Detailed Description:
This is a one to one randomized, placebo-controlled, clinical, exploratory study with the aim of collecting information on possible clinical endpoints i.e., the progression of emphysema by lung density measurements with CT scan and frequency of exacerbations that could be used for a subsequent placebo controlled clinical trial. Progression of disease will be investigated in 80 patients with alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency, who will be treated with human alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT; Prolastin®) or placebo weekly for two years to analyze the effect of treatment on lung density and exacerbations. Targeted augmentation therapy with weekly infusions of Prolastin® will be a dose of 60 mg/kg body weight (range of 51.72 to 71.43 mg per kg body weight).
Therefore, this study focuses on several questions:
- Is the 15th percentile point calculated by analysis of CT lung histograms a useful endpoint for clinical trials in AAT deficiency?
- Is quantitation of exacerbations in AAT-deficient patients a useful endpoint for clinical trials in AAT deficiency?
- Are there significant differences between the treatments in favor of Prolastin®?

BOSTON -- A Norman Rockwell painting of Boston Red Sox players has been reunited at Fenway Park with two of its subjects before it's taken to New York City to be auctioned.
The work appeared on the March 2, 1957, cover of the Saturday Evening Post. The title is "The Rookie (Red Sox Locker Room)." Christie's will offer it May 22 with a pre-sale estimate of $20 million to $30 million.
The painting shows pitcher Frank Sullivan, right fielder Jackie Jensen, catcher Sammy White, second baseman Billy Goodman, and Hall of Famer Ted Williams.
Sullivan and the model for the rookie, Sherman Safford, were with the painting at Fenway on Monday.
Sullivan said it's "unbelievable" that the painting has become so valuable.

Introduction - YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ THIS PART Hi I'm Cakey, new to the forums. Not new to programming OR game development. I've written 3-D games in JAVA, VBC, darkbasic(a joke I know), and plenty of 2-D games in VB .NET, Flash, java-script/html/css etc. Here's the scoop, poop(not being offensive but attempting to be funny?).
Background Information: So I am writing this program in VB .net, and of course VB. net's functionality won't let me go where I need to go with this. So I decided to take on the task of learning C++. Not too complex as everyone complains about. I'm sadly currently running Vista on a lab-top(if this even should matter?).
OBJECTIVE: In essence what I am trying to do is load a .wav file, add blank data to it for X seconds. So like I want to load BLEEP.wav then add say 0.5 seconds of blank sound to the end of the BLEEP.wav's loaded data and save it to the hard-drive as another named *.wav(say booger.wav).
My Ideas: I'm thinking DirectSound(Yes I have the SDK). I'm using DevCPP because VC++ is so faulty(opinion). Please don't refer me to the SDK "sample" files that don't work (except for the play-sound).
If you think DirectSound is a bad approach could you please suggest a different route(I'm trying to write a .dll so don't recommend me to something unsupported)?
Your Part? Are there any tutorials similiar to this(I can't find 'em)? Links, hints, tutorials, and example script would be impeccably appreciated, I need closure I've been trying every worm-hole to solve this for the past three - four weeks. Learning a new language, installing/reinstalling compilers&IDE's, googling everything known to man. Dealing with thing's like AFXRES.H not existing! I'm going crazy here!
Actually, there's no need for DirectSound to do that. WAV files, like all files, are just a sequence of bytes - in order to modify one, you can load the file into memory, modify it there, and then save it back to disk. The WAV format is pretty simple and it's not very hard at all to write your own routines to manipulate it, and it will be a good exercise to learn C++ better, and to understand what libraries like DirectSound are doing under the hood. Just google for the WAV format and you should find plenty of documentation. To get you started, here is a short description of the basics of the format, and here is a more comprehensive description.
Wow, that spells things out for me. Thanks reed-beta. So your saying no SDK "bull pucky" is neccessary. So would file write & read functions be a better method?
I knew about the "RIFF heading" thing. Not exactly sure how to write it. I guess I am just a little lost on how to add the whole silence for X seconds to a file part. I understand now that I'd have to modify the "data" portion of wave file.
I'm sorry like I stated before I am new to C++/Audio Programming. Thank you so much for the links and helping me better understand the audio format. You have brought me that much closer to my goal. However I am kind of unsure/clueless how I would read/write this data. I am not sober right now so I will have to revisit these links tommarrow after some college tests. If you/anyone else would happen to have some more clarification on this it'd be appreciated but I want to try to work from here- tomarrow.
Probably it's a good idea to understand digital/analog wave theory first. Have a look here: http://www.mediacollege.com/audio/01/. It's quick and you should pick up on that fairly well. But, just to add onto it:
In the digital world 1) One sample = one frequency, although a sample is NOT the same thing as a frequency. It's just common analog -> digital conversion to use the same number. If you have a 44100HZ audio file, you have 44100 samples per second in your wave.
2) Audio is represented in bytes (duh , meaning an audio sample is typically between -127 and 128. Or if it's a 16bit audio sample, it's between -32767 and 32768, and so on.
3) In order to generate sound, the samples need to have a sinusoidal-like waveform. Meaning if you analyze the bytes in a wave, it will look like a roller coaster ride. It should go up and then down, then back up and so on. As you manipulate those properties, you will generate different sounds. Search up on "synthesizers" to get a better understanding of how this works, including getting a glimpse of a DJ's life
So once you understand the basics, you should know that:
Knowing the above equation should allow you to easily calculate how many bytes of zeros you would need to append to the wave form to add silence. Now you should ask yourself "why do zeros silence the wave? Here's another question you should ask. Could I generate silence by filling it with any value? The answer is yes. You could do a memory copy with 0xFF, 0xA2, 0x24, etc... As long as there is no oscillation, you will not hear any sound. Zeroes are just easier to work with in editors because the 0'th line is in the center of the oscilloscope.
Once you grasp all of this, dealing with sounds (or wave theory in general) is actually simple and fun. Don't think about wave, mp3, ogg, etc... They are just formats. Audio in the end is broken down into 3 simple factors: wavelength, amplitude, and frequency. Play with those and you'll pick up on stuff very quickly. A while back I even wrote a program where the computer tries to make music. heh... funny stuff. Brought a whole new meaning to the word chip-tunes
So would file write & read functions be a better method?
Yes, you'll want to look up how to do file I/O in C++. For starters you'll probably want to look at the "stdio" functions, particularly: fopen, fread, fwrite, and fclose. Also see this article. Note that I'm showing you more of a C-style way to manipulate files than a C++-style way, but I personally prefer to use the C functions. You can also, if you like, use the C++ file I/O libraries, and here is a tutorial on those.
Wow awesome responses here guys. You all obviously know what your talking about. I am gonna try to give this all a stab but as a fore-warning I might end up posting back here with some scripting help. I am using [extern "C"] I dunno if that means I am not using C++ or not but I think so far so good.
However for now I am going to try this, once again thanks a bunch!
extern "C" means you're using C++.
(It's necessary when linking some library or other code written in C into a program written in C++. It exists to smooth some of the slight incompatibilities between the two.)

The National Rifle Association held a press conference and blamed everyone under the sun, except admitting that a ban on assault weapon would be a good starting place to curb the mass shootings that we have experienced over the past few years, with increasing frequency and intensity. Wayne LaPierre blamed the media as "silent enablers if not complicit co-conspirators" for allowing violent culture to come into children's homes.
He said we care about our president, so we protect him with armed Secret Service, but when it comes to our kids, we do the opposite. The press conference was interrupted twice by protesters yelling "blood is on the hands of the NRA" and "the NRA is killing our children." He also claims that an armed security guard would have stopped Adam Lanza.
Wayne LaPierre called on Congress to appropriate funds to put armed security guards in schools before January. He asked what if Adam Lanza was confronted by an armed security at Sandy Hook Elementary School? That armed security guard could have also been killed if he was taken by surprise and the shooting massacre would have still occurred. Three words to describe Wayne LaPierre — bat-shit crazy.
Wayne LaPierre said former congressman Asa Hutchinson will help with its new "National School Shield" program. His insensitivity is mindboggling — blaming everyone else for the horrific tragedy that befell Sandy Hook Elementary School such as Congress, President Obama, foreign aid, movies, music videos, sports stadiums, the people who oppose the NRA, the video game manufacturers, Hollywood, the medical community. If you can stomach the bullshit click on the "transcript" link below to read his comments or watch the video. Wayne LaPierre had a public meltdown during this so-called press conference and if anything, it is further proof that gun control is a must.
It would seem that Mr. LaPierre forgot Columbine High School had an armed guard, Neil Gardner, a sheriff's deputy, who was assigned to watch Columbine High School, as a community resource officer. He usually ate lunch with the students, so he could be in the school. On that day, he was called to the "back lot" when the custodian found the first body. Needless to say, the gunmen wreaked havoc, even though an armed officer was on the school grounds.
In closing, in case Wayne LaPierre doesn't realize this, here are the results of a PPP poll which show 63-64% support for assault weapons and high capacity magazine bans, while 76% support for closing the gun show loophole, and 93% support for mandatory criminal background checks before selling guns. While he was delivering his diatribe, four people were killed in Frankstown Township, Pa., including the gunman, and three state troopers were injured. Um, I guess now we need a police officer or armed guard stationed on every street in the U.S. No need for gun control.
UPDATE: The American Federation of Teachers responded to the NRA statement: "Schools must be safe sanctuaries, not armed fortresses. "
Former RNC chairman Michael Steele called the NRA's statements "very haunting and very disturbing."
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said armed guards won't make schools safer: "In general I don't think that the solution to safety in schools is putting an armed guard because for it to be really effective in my view, from a law enforcement perspective, you have to have an armed guard at every classroom," he said during an event in Newark Friday morning. "Because if you just have an armed guard at the front door then what if this guy had gone around to the side door? There's many doors in and out of schools."
Read the transcript from the NRA's press conference.

A need has existed and continues to exist in the LC-MS to provide theological
education programs alternative to the traditional four-year M.Div. program. Such
routes are available to men who demonstrate circumstances exceptional enough to
warrant that they not be required to complete the M.Div. program in order to be
certified for a call into the pastoral ministry of the LC-MS. As in the case
with the M.Div. program, these programs will focus on the spiritual, academic
and personal development of the students. Unlike the M.Div. program, no academic
professional degree will be granted. However, upon successful completion of the
program, a certificate will be granted.

Muskingum College professor's book on pragmatism and ethical theory released by Vanderbilt University Press
APRIL 18, 2003 - Making Morality: Pragmatist Reconstruction in Ethical Theory by Dr. Todd Lekan, associate professor of philosophy at Muskingum College, has been released by Vanderbilt University Press.
In the book, which has been described as a "new contribution to moral theory," Dr. Lekan argues for a pragmatist conception of morality as an evolving, educational and fallible practice of every day life.
Drawing on the work of John Dewey, Dr. Lekan asserts that moral norms are neither timeless truths nor subjective whims, but habits transmitted through practice.
Like the habits that make up medicine or engineering, moral habits are subject to rational evaluation and change, according to new challenges and circumstances.
Dr. Lekan joined the Muskingum College faculty in 1996. He received his bachelor's and master's degrees from The Ohio State University and his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Making Morality is available at www.vanderbilt.edu/vupress.

THOUSANDS of Chinese Communist Party delegates, including billionaire industrialists and a teenage Olympic gold medallist, assembled in Beijing on Thursday to witness the coronation of a new generation of red emperors.
For better or worse, they will govern the world's second-largest economy and the most populous nation for the next decade. It is probable that China will surpass the United States as the largest economy during their reign.
The 18th Party Congress will be convened without the theatrical fanfare of the US presidential election. But its impact will be arguably even greater for Australia and the region.
It is commonly acknowledged that China has once again reached another inflection point in its long march to be a modern and prosperous nation. The unwritten social contract between the ruling party and the 1.3 billion ruled needs to be redrawn.
For the past three decades, the party has provided uninterrupted economic growth for a once poverty-stricken country and much-needed social and political stability after years of Maoist political extremism.
However, the Chinese model of heavy infrastructure investment and export-led growth is showing signs of fatigue. The doyen of Chinese economists, Wu Jianliang, has repeatedly said the country has reached a threshold of economic and social tensions.
Leading reformist newspapers have urged Beijing to implement a comprehensive economic and social reform agenda to steer China away from the so-called middle income trap, when developing countries fall short of their full growth potential.
The outgoing party chief, Hu Jintao, said the key to resolving all of China's mounting problems was sustained economic growth, and central to that was tackling the vexed issue of the relationship between the government and market.
Though China has long ditched a Maoist command economy, it is only halfway to a fully mature market economy. The ''visible hands'' of the government are still disproportionately influential in the running of the economy.
State-owned enterprises, which are affectionately known to the Chinese party leaders as the ''elder sons of the republic'', are dominating key sectors of the economy and sucking oxygen out of the dynamic private sector.
The big four state-owned banks have managed to squeeze large monopoly rents out of the long-suffering Chinese depositors, which easily dwarf the combined profits of some of the best private companies in China.
Chinese banks have long favoured their state-owned counterparts in the credit market. Cash-strapped private companies have been forced to borrow at usurious rates from loan sharks to sustain their operations.
The real litmus test for Beijing's avowed goal to deepen economic reform is its willingness to take on the powerful vested interests of its red capitalists.
It is no easy challenge. Some of the biggest and most powerful Chinese state-owned enterprises were former government ministries. Their chief executives still enjoy status as cabinet ministers and have strong influence over government policies.
Some commentators argue that China's state-owned oil companies are outmanoeuvring the foreign ministry in some parts of the world. Indeed, the ministry building in Beijing is literally being overshadowed by the imposing headquarters of these oil giants.
Early this year, a joint World Bank and Chinese government report argued that the long-term prosperity of the Chinese economy depends on Beijing reforming the state-owned sector. China's red capitalists have ferociously resisted the change so far.
Hu's opening speech at the 18th Party Congress has sent out mixed messages about the future policy direction in this vital area.
He said market-based rules must be respected and the government would unreservedly support the expansion of the private sector, ensuring a level playing field for state and private sector players.
Despite the lofty rhetoric of encouraging the private sector, the retiring party chief said the government would also support the continuation of the state-owned enterprises. It is unclear how his successors will walk this tightrope.
Reform of the state-owned enterprises has added significance for another announced goal of the Chinese government, namely the further integration of the Chinese economy with the world. Hu said the country needed to accelerate the pace of its '' going out'' strategy.
Chinese overseas investment led by state-owned enterprises has fast become one of the most sensitive issues between China and many of its trading partners, including Australia and the US.
In fact, it is one of the key issues holding back the tortured negotiations between Canberra and Beijing over a free trade agreement.
Chinese leaders have a strong record of implementing a difficult and challenging economic reform agenda since the late 1970s, though there were signs of reform fatigue in the twilight years of the Hu-Wen administration.
We can be cautiously optimistic that new leaders can pull this one off again. But China's red capitalists will not make their job easy.

Student's art earns national honors
Citizen Staff Reports 10/01/12
Douglas Freeman High School tenth-grader Anna Laughter (pictured) recently learned that a drawing she completed last year will be placed on display at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art in Virginia Beach Nov. 16 through Dec. 30.
The recognition, part of The Alliance for Young Artists and Writers' "Art. Write. Now. Tour 12-13," is the latest for Laughter's work, which earlier had earned three other honors.
The piece also earned a Gold Key Regional Award as part of The Scholastic Art and Writing Awards program and was displayed in February and March at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.
Later, the piece was named a Gold Medal winner at the national level and also was selected as a Best In Grade (BIG) award recipient – one of only two pieces nationally submitted by ninth-graders (from among 7,123 such works) to earn the award. It was featured on display in New York City in June along with other Gold Medal award-winners, and Laughter also earned a $500 scholarship.

Our opposition is at war, friends! And we're not just talking about the usual wars against fact, credible science, and gay people's lives and loves. No, no — actual fighting is going on. The Liberty Counsel is sniping at the Alliance Defense Fund. WorldNetDaily is dropping Ann Coulter. And "pro-family" folks like Peter LaBarbera are simply apoplectic that Glenn Beck, someone who they assumed was a lock-solid ally, have come out and said that marriage equality is no big deal.
We've already covered the first scuffle. The second one is really too much of a "man bites dog" story to get into right now. So let's move on to the third: LaBarbera v. Beck. In order to support his cause and lash out against Beck, Pete has issued a list of eight reasons why "Glenn Beck is not just wrong — but has it completely backwards regarding the escalating threat that homosexual activism, culminating in court-imposed "gay marriage," poses to America's children and our First Amendment liberties." We shall now respond.
Pete is in red block quotes, followed by our refutations in standard text:
1) Just as reported homosexual Judge Vaughn Walker overruled the expressed will of California voters (twice expressed) against "same-sex marriage," federalized homosexual "marriage" would override the documented will of the people in the 31 states that have already voted — some by huge margins — to preserve marriage in the law as what it is: between one man and one woman.
Alright, it's become like a broken record, but our opposition refuses to listen. So let's repeat: Voting on minority rights was never a right that the far-right should have ever had. That is what history tells us. That is what courts are increasingly determining. And it is eventually what all fair-minded courts, both of public law and public opinion, will see and say. LaBarbera: 0; Equality: 1
2) Legalized homosexual "marriage" will force businessmen and -women to subsidize homosexual relationships even if they rightly believe that those relationships are immoral and deviant. That is un-American, anti-freedom, and just plain wrong. A businessman who provides marital benefits to his employees could not choose which "marriages" (normal or counterfeit-"gay") merit company support and which do not — even if he strongly disagrees with homosexual 'unions' as a violation of the Laws of Nature and Nature's God, to quote our Declaration of Independence. If the business owner denied benefits only to "same-sex married" employees, it would invite a lawsuit. You cannot be free and simultaneously forced by the State to use your hard-earned money to reward people practicing bad behavior.
So wait, what about now? Business owners hold all kinds of faith-based personal convictions related to marriage. Some might find infidelity to be abominable. Others might frown upon divorce and remarriage. There still exist objections to interfaith unions. Or interracial marriages. Or marriages where the female is allowed to work outside the home. Or anything, really. Religious people's marital condemnations do not begin and end with the 'mos. So the only way that Pete's logic would have any sort of validity is if current convicted/conflicted business owners were legally able to pick and choose whose marriages are worthy of honor based on nothing more than their personally held biblical interepretations. But they're not. And they won't be. Because they shouldn't be. LaBarbera: 0; Equality: 2
3) Legalized homosexual "marriage" paves the way for even greater pro-homosexuality indoctrination in the nation's schools than we are already seeing under the mandate of "sexual orientation nondiscrimination." Wherever marriage and "civil rights" are taught, homosexual "marriage" would have to be validated because it would be the law of the land (or the individual state). Say Johnny Pupil, a first-grader, asks his teacher: "When I grow up, could I marry a man or a woman?" The teacher — if honoring the State's newfound "constitutional right" (and so as not to be accused of discrimination) — would have to answer "Either one, Johnny." Corrupting children's innocence and redefining morality in the name of "tolerance" and newfangled "rights" directly undermines parental authority. It also turns America's schools into Pro-Homosexual Propaganda Centers – an evil on a par with legalizing the killing of innocent, unborn children in the womb in the name of "choice" and "reproductive rights."
Acceptance is taught in schools not because marriage exists, but rather because LGBT people exist! The only way for "pro-family" folks to change that reality is to rid the world of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender population. Hopefully that's not in anyone's plans.
Plus, in terms of potential marriage conversations: How anti-intellectual is it to suggest that there is any one, specific stock conversation to be had? A teacher who despises marriage, might say, "Get a puppy instead, kid." A teacher who'd rather not give life advice could say, "Do your work, Johnny!" A discrete teacher, either pro- or anti-LGBT, might say, "I have my personal opinions on that subject, but I will leave it to your parents." And yes, a teacher who relies on empirical law might give an answer revolving around the allowances afforded by state and civil governments (home and abroad). There are as many possibilities as there are teachers. LaBarbera: 0; Equality: 3
4) And let's not forget homosexual-"married" teachers. If "gay marriage" is legalized, public school parents would be barred from preventing proudly partnered homosexuals from teaching their kids. (And there could be lawsuits against private schools by homosexual teachers suing for marital discrimination.) Picture a lesbian teacher putting the photo of her and her female parter — or maybe the celebratory photo of them kissing after their "marriage" ceremony — on her desk in front of the class. Teachers are important role models for our children – and all over the country, they talk about their married and family life with their students. However, if all "marriages" are equal, whatever is OK for normally-married teachers to do could not be challenged when perversely-"married" homosexual teachers do it. Hence legal "gay marriage" would be used to normalize homosexual relationships to children.
Again, this notion has nothing to do with marriage! LGBT teachers are already teaching your kids, America. And if an appropriate reason arises, he or she very well might acknowledge a special person in his or her life, the same way that a heterosexual teacher might (although these sorts of personal discussions, gay or straight, are typically rare). The variable here is not whether or not the union is legally binding — gay and straight teachers choose to or to not marry for any number of reasons. The variable at play is the teacher's personal comfort level. Both 'mo and 'ro teachers, now or in an America with 50 state marriage equality, make the personal choice to or to not acknowledge their life, love, and personal dealings.
And no, public school parents will not be given a smorgasbord of teacher options based on where they fall on the Kinsey scale. We didn't even realize that social conservatives of 2010 were still seeking that Briggs-ian option.
LaBarbera: 0; Equality: 4
5) In homosexual-"marriage" states, school textbooks will be re-written to validate homosexual "marriages" as the real deal — and the winning "gay marriage" would be portrayed as a genuine civil rights achievement. Thus, not only will impressionable minds be corrupted by propaganda that falsely affirms that sexual perversion and marriage are compatible, they will also be taught that to oppose this concept is to stand against "civil rights." Christians must not be naive on this point: even very young students would be taught that those who fought the "gay" civil rights movement — culminating in its greatest prize, "marriage equality" — are the modern-day equivalents of Americans who fought against racial reconciliation and true civil rights. (Interestingly, polls show that African Americans oppose homosexual "marriage" by wider margins than whites.) The law is a teacher and unfortunately the lesson here is that Americans of faith who agree with God against homosexual "marriage" are small-minded, intolerant bigots who "hate gay people." That misguided "lesson" will be drilled into young minds in the name of tolerance.
Schools again? Really? Oy.
Look, the marriage debate is already part of civil rights history. Right now. Unchangeably so. Students from here to whenever will learn about this overwrought civil rights fight. And while social conservatives love the "they'll treat us like bigots" victimization meme, the reality is that most archivists and historians will instead focus on the merits of the messaging itself. And if these same social conservatives are scared about what kind of take-home a fair presentation of that messaging weighing the arguments of both the "marriage protectors" and their targets might drive into kids' brains, then they really need to ask themselves why they have this fear. We don't have it. Why do they?
Now, they would surely blame gay indoctrination. But please! We live in a very conservative America. Many of us on the side of peace and fairness have felt secure in our message for decades, long before public polling was even approaching gay favorability. We've felt this security even in our darkest hours. It is a safe generalization to say that we on the side of LGBT rights believe in our cause and its historical staying power. So why doesn't our opposition? And again, the correct answer is not "the homosexual agenda made it that way." America has heard both side's would-be,could-be teachable moments, and the obstacles were certainly on our side. If we've succeeded, it's because we have merit.
If gay-unfriendly Christian parents want to drive home an anti-LGBT message, then they have the right to do that in their homes. Even in their home schools. But in America's public schools, the message is going to be based on the laws, landmarks (both pro- and anti-), and the players, just as every other single debate is now. The mind will be made up on a personal level, but the evidential folder will be made up with facts. LaBarbera: 0; Equality: 5
6) This is perhaps the most sinister by-product of legalizing homosexual "marriage": it becomes a very effective and practical tool in the further demonization and denigration of traditional religion in the USA. If the struggle for homosexual "marriage" ("gay civil rights") is a noble one — and predominantly religiously-motivated opponents are somehow the modern equivalent of the KKK, then something is rotten in traditional religion itself — especially Bible-believing Christianity, which clearly condemns homosexual practice as sinful.
Already, "gay" activists are not shy about equating Christian-based opposition to homosexuality with "bigotry, hatred and homophobia" — i.e., irrational prejudice. If they succeed in persuading the State (through activist judges) to declare "same-sex marriage" a "constitutional right," then the next step is to lobby government to eradicate any favored status to real man-woman marriage (and, by extension, biblical Christianity) in the public square. Admittedly, this is already happening through leftist groups like the ACLU, but State-enforced "gay marriage" would provide one more powerful tool to push old-fashioned religion to the curb — and indoctrinate children — in the name of "tolerance" and "progress."
First off: Pro-equality people of faith have lived their entire lives in an America that tells them that their staunch belief in LGBT parity is wrong. Anti-equality people of faith have had a long, long, long run of seeing their personal faith condemnations govern public policy. When that changes, and our civil policy is free from everyone's personal faith, we will all be better off.
What's so particularly galling about this "gays threaten faith" canard is that historically, LGBT people and progressives have been a gagillion times better at protecting true religious freedom than have the socially conservative evangelicals who so staunchly oppose same-sex unions (and lower Manhattan mosques). We LGBT folk, sensitive to being unfairly stifled, tend to support true religious freedom even when it goes against our lives and loves! We're not asking for the right to force churches to marry us. We're not seeking to take Fred Phelps and family off the streets. We're not asking anyone to stop sharing Leviticus interpretations over their shrimp dinner plates. We're asking for the separation and mutual respect that is so needed in the U.S. But it has to be respect that goes both ways, and respect that deals honestly with the facts at hand. In this area, the anti-gay Christians are not playing fair. LaBarbera: 0; Equality: 6
7) Legalized homosexual "marriage" has already been shown to hurt the adoption movement — that is, the wholesome and traditional adoption business that seeks to place children in stable homes with a mother and a father. In "gay marriage" states, adoption agencies that adhere to that time-test natural model of family will be forced by state bureaucracies to place children in homes that are motherless or fatherless by design. Will principled adoption agencies be forced to shut down as in Britain or like Catholic Charities in Massachusetts (the Catholic Church teaches that placing children in homosexual-led households is "gravely immoral")?
If they take state and/or federal funding, then yes, groups like Catholic Charities might have to either choose to treat all citizens fairly under civil law, or they will have to make the choice — and it is a choice — to either stop or shift certain services to organizations that will treat everyone with civil parity. Period. End of story. No further discussion.
And again, you have to flip the script: What about pro-LGBT faith services that are unable to offer certain civil arrangements because of LGBT-hostile policies (which, in recent years, have been mega-financed by Catholic interests)? Why is it only an outrage when it's civil bias that rules the day?!?! LaBarbera: 0; Equality: 7
8 ) Finally: yes, Glenn, the "gays" — read: driven and well-funded homosexual activists — will "come to get us," in one important sense (see Beck's comment to FOX News' Bill O'Reilly). If history is a guide, homosexual activists will absolutely set their sights on demonizing churches that refuse to marry same-sex couples (a saccharine term I avoid; these are not normal "couples" but people practicing perversion together). Here Mr. Beck, reportedly a Mormon, displays astonishing naivete, particularly for someone in the conservative information business. Homosexual activists came after the Boy Scouts of America (a noble institution heavily supported by Mormon families) — and almost destroyed their right to define who they are as an organization. The poor Scouts came within a single vote on the U.S. Supreme Court of being FORCED by the State to allow homosexual Scoutmasters. And after losing in court, the self-styled and appropriately designated "queer" activist movement didn't let up one bit. Instead, they continued their evil crusade against the Boy Scouts — fighting to boot them off of all public properties (in the name of tolerance and equality, of course) and generally working to poison the Scouts' good name in the minds of Americans.
See # 6: No gay activist — NO.GAY.ACTIVIST! — is trying to force churches to marry gay couples. Individual congregants might be taking on that fight within their individual church body, which is where this conversation should take place. But no LGBT legal group or prominent voice is fighting for the ancillary religious ceremony component of marriage. The organized rights fight is 100% about civil marriage!
And the Boy Scouts matter is 100% different! The issue there is that the Scouts are regularly allowed to utilize public accommodations while disallowing gays, avowed atheists, and others. If churches tried the same thing, then there would be the same fight. Unapologetically so! But as long as the marriage matter continues to involve preachers simply wanting the right to only marry the couples that they choose, then there will be no controversy. Just like we currently support the right of faith leaders to refuse to marry atheists, an interfaith couple, members in bad standing, etc. THAT is a religious freedom — civil bias is not. LaBarbera: 0; Equality: 8
Or as the historical record will remember the civil rights victories from Peter's anti-LGBT career: LaBarbera: 0; Equality Won.

Common Questions/Answers for Poweramp v2.x:
Q. My songs are missing from folders/library.
A. Please ensure you have all your folders with music actually checked in Poweramp Settings => Folders and Library => Music Folders.
Your original Android Library is not changed, nor any files deleted.
Poweramp library is a separate, completely independent library. When you installed Poweramp 2.0, it just got filled with the files scanned from your sd card/other flash memory, as specified in Music Folders.
Q. Volume too low. Volume changes weirdly. Other volume issues.
A. Try to disable Direct Volume Control in Poweramp Settings => Audio => Advanced Tweaks.
Poweramp 2.x uses Direct Volume Control by default on 2.3+ mid-to-high end devices. On stock ROMs this produces much better audio output. But many custom/buggy ROMs, while supporting DVC, can fail with it.
