GRAHAM � A former Williams High School employee was found guilty Tuesday of inappropriately touching two female student athletes and was sentenced to 16 years in prison.
After more than a day of deliberation on counts of statutory sex offense with a 15-year-old, sex act with a student by school personnel and indecent liberties with a student by school personnel, the jury found Robert Alfonzo Clapp, 46, guilty on all counts.
Two members of the girls� track team testified that Clapp put his hands beneath their running shorts and underwear, touching their vaginas, while stretching them for injuries in March 2011 and fall 2010. Clapp was employed part time as a first responder with the high school�s athletic department at the time. He often treated students� injuries as part of that job.
The trial began Jan. 28. It was Clapp�s second trial on the charges. His first trial was declared a mistrial in June after jurors couldn�t reach unanimous verdicts. Clapp declined to enter into a plea agreement with the state after the first trial.
Clapp and his wife showed little outward emotion when the jury returned the verdict and he was sentenced.
Following the verdict, defense attorney Rick Champion asked the court for a mitigated sentence on the statutory sex act, which is a B1 felony � just beneath murder in the state�s sentencing statutes. A mitigated sentence would have placed Clapp in prison a minimum of 12 years, Champion said. Clapp had no prior criminal record and was a dedicated husband and father, Champion said.
Champion also asked the court to arrest judgment on the second count, which involved the same victim and incident, and to impose a probationary sentence on the indecent liberties conviction.
Alamance County Assistant District Attorney Lori Wickline opposed the mitigated sentence.
Superior Court Judge Shannon Joseph sentenced Clapp to a minimum of 192 months and a maximum of 240 months in prison � between 16 and 20 years. She issued a consecutive, suspended six- to 18-month sentence on the indecent liberties charge. Clapp will be on 24 months� probation when he is released from prison, she ordered. The judge arrested judgment on the count of sex act with a student.
He must also register as a sex offender for 30 years after his release from prison and have no contact with the victims.
�This was not your fault,� Joseph said, addressing one of the victims who sat with her family in the courtroom. The girl had testified that Clapp touched her for an extended period of time during track practice on March 23, 2011.
Nearing the end of deliberation Tuesday afternoon, the jury asked the judge to clarify state law.
�If we have proof beyond a reasonable doubt of �penetration, however slight, into the genitals� but not proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the penetration was �willful� and of �a sexual nature� � must we still rule guilty in count one?,� a note from jury foreman Ralph Butler said.
The judge ruled that language regarding touching of �a sexual nature� isn�t included in state statutes and instructed the jury that Clapp�s �conduct at issue must be intentional and not accidental.�
The language recalled a defense of accidental touching that Champion tried Thursday to have the judge include in jury instructions. The judge denied his motion to include that defense.
Outside the courtroom, Butler said one juror had a question about criminal intent versus accidental touching.
�The law says, accident or not, it doesn�t matter. We had to vote accordingly,� Butler said. �We went through everything. That�s why it took a while for us to come to a consensus. But I think we came to the right decision.�

Chula Vista book seller left church for Plato
Claims C.S. Lewis agrees with him
12:10 p.m., Nov. 22
The city and the Chargers are in secret kiss-and-tell negotiations. True to historical precedent, the city is kissing the Chargers' rear hip pads and not telling anybody. The Chargers, meanwhile, are openly telling people their version of the supposedly secret tête-à-tail.
It's typical San Diego government: professional sports teams get kissed, taxpayers get kicked, and truth gets camouflaged.
The Chargers claim they can put together a deal without tapping public funds. But San Diego has heard that twice before. There was the remake of what is now Qualcomm, with the purportedly wondrous 60,000-seat guarantee, and then the ballpark, which was to be financed by taxes thrown off by commercial structures, particularly hotels, that are nowhere in sight.
The new Chargers proposal will definitely drain city funds; the question is how it will be covered up. Watch for several things: the team will try to wiggle out of $150 million in rent owed for the next 16 years; the team will get the land virtually free from the city; promises will be neither memorialized nor enforced; there will be a promise of a luscious public park; and the city and team will claim the deal doesn't impact the general fund, which will be deceitfully defined.
Another distinct possibility: the Chargers will want to lose a 2006 vote, so they can leave town claiming they were shoved.
With a hide-the-pea government and a perfume-the-polecat mainstream media, discovering the deceptions will be difficult, as in the past.
Examples abound: in May of 1995, then-city manager Jack McGrory assured the city council in a memo that under the agreement with the Chargers, the seats would fill up. The San Diego International Sports Council, one of those charmed institutions that takes government funds so it can turn around and lobby government, promised it would work to "increase home game general admission attendance to a minimum [italics mine] of 60,000 per game."
"They tried," McGrory sighs today. The 60,000-seat guarantee failed "because the team worsened." Yeah, but anybody who tried to say back then that the Chargers wouldn't always be winners was branded an obstructionist.
The astounding part of McGrory's memo dealt with the Padres. According to the Chargers' contract with the city, the Chargers beginning in 1999 would get all the Padres' in-park advertising revenue, even at Padre games, and the Chargers would also determine schedule dates. To anyone who had read the contract, it was clear that it was a pre-plotted ploy: the Padres could say the city had forced them out, and they needed a new facility. But McGrory's May 1995 memo projected that the Padres would continue generating big bucks for the city at what was then Jack Murphy Stadium. Indeed, by 2010, the Padres playing at the Murph would shovel $7.7 million to the city. Ulp!
"Anybody who operated in 1995 on the assumption that the Padres intended to continue playing at Jack Murphy Stadium after 1999 simply had not read the agreement," says former councilmember Bruce Henderson.
In 1997, John Witt, who was city attorney when the Chargers' contract was drawn, said that Mayor Susan Golding was the city's chief negotiator, and the city attorney's office played a limited role. Shortly, Witt did a mea maxima culpa. "I screwed up," he claimed. Golding was not the chief negotiator. Witt suddenly recalled being briefed almost daily on the negotiations. It is amazing how heads clear when a guillotine hangs over them.
Recently, there has been the question of the so-called trigger -- a financial threshold that would permit the Chargers to compel the city to negotiate a new deal. When the Chargers said they could trigger earlier this year, the city relied on the word of a sports consultant who is paid to help pro teams maximize the amount they suck out of city governments. Councilmember Donna Frye hired a nationally known economist who said the Chargers could not trigger. The city ignored the economist and began negotiating with the team without saying whether the Chargers could trigger. "They adopted a policy of negotiating a new contract in secret without determining if they were required to negotiate a contract," says attorney Mike Aguirre.
"From the beginning, I opposed entering into negotiations unless the Chargers proved they could trigger," says Frye. "My position has not changed." She is annoyed by the government-imposed omertá. "The Chargers are allowed to speak about their proposal. Why can't I?" In dealing with the city on sports issues, Frye says, "It is difficult to get straight answers" from bureaucrats.
In the 1995 agreement, the Chargers pledged to use their "best efforts" to fill the stadium. But after several years of lousy attendance and a big drain on city coffers from the seat guarantee, the Chargers raised ticket prices, and city attorney Casey Gwinn didn't exercise the best-efforts clause. He should have done so long ago to force the Chargers to lower prices, says Henderson.
The Padres provide a more nauseating example of government obsequiousness and disingenuousness. Gwinn claimed in the ballot argument that the project would be "revenue neutral" because of the bounteous tax revenue flowing from hotels, office, and retail buildings. When it was obvious the tax receipts would fall far short, a new mayor, Dick Murphy, made wholesale alterations to the deal. The memorandum of understanding, the document authorizing the project, had declared that if there were "material changes," it would have to go back to the voters. Gwinn kicked the matter to the council, which said there were no material changes.
The memorandum of understanding gave the Padres the right to "fine-tune" the mix of real estate in the ballpark district. Former law professor and judge Robert Simmons pointed out in a lawsuit that, for just one example, the requirement for office buildings had been lessened by 66 percent. That was hardly fine-tuning. But the city insisted it was.
" 'Fine-tuning' was a code word for 'We can do whatever we want,' " says Stanley Zubel, Simmons's attorney.
Now the Padres and the city -- and the mainstream press that has an economic interest in pro-sports subsidies -- are crowing that there is a condominium boom in and around the ballpark district. This is laughable. The taxes generated by residential real estate barely pay for the infrastructure and services the homes require. "There are no sales and transient occupancy [hotel] taxes from residences," says Zubel.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Idea Foundation, Denver, CO, USA
My family and I have worked with The IDEA Foundation from its inception. Founded in memory of a family friend who had done volunteer work in Sierra Leone, the charity has a trust that covers administrative overhead costs, so every dollar donated goes right to work. Sierra Leone is rated by the UN as the poorest country on Earth, so a dollar goes a long way. I am extremely impressed by how much The IDEA Foundation and its partners have accomplished in a short time. Nursing students now have scholarships and a medical library, a free medical clinic is open, a student has come to the USA and been certified as Sierra Leone's only medical equipment repair technician, medical equipment has been sent, IDEA and Heifer Project have created 2,000 new family farms, schools are getting textbooks and libraries; the list goes on and on and there is so much more to do. It's so easy to give to IDEA using igive.com or isearchigive.com for your daily computer searches and shopping. Direct donations to IDEA can be designated for any of the several programs they support, and they will send honorarium or memorial cards for you. Newsletters keep you up to date on progress, new programs, student profiles and more. You truly know firsthand what your money is doing. The IDEA Foundation director and groups of self-paying volunteers travel to Sierra Leone to monitor progress on programs personally and develop new ones. We have been so impressed with this organization that we have gone from simple supporters to me serving on the unpaid Advisory Board and my husband planning a mission trip with IDEA next spring. The biggest reason I support The IDEA Foundation is because I know I am making a huge impact on quality of life for the poorest of the poor. If we are to save the world, we should start from the bottom up, where it matters most.

It is worrisome that many people in our industry appear unprepared for the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau rulemaking. As we recently commemorated the birth of the 16th POTUS, it is useful to consider his thoughts on procrastination. Lincoln's typically common sense observation "You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today" contains worthy wisdom.
Based on my observations and discussions I've had with many folks throughout the industry, it seems as if some originators are moving a little slow on the planning and implementation necessary to update their technology to comply with the new Qualified Mortgage, HOEPA, appraisal requirements and servicing rules issued recently by the CFPB.
Most of these new rules take effect January 21, 2014–a mere 11 months away–which places demands on business, legal and technology units within each organization. Especially noteworthy is the fact that, in order to be ready for Jan. 21, 2014, the automation component of the new rules must be in a production-ready state several months before their enforcement or "go-live" date.
That gives, at best, a scant six to nine months to:
1) determine how these new rules impact us from a legal perspective;
2) create business plans outlining the new testing to be performed by our systems;
3) develop technological specifications from the business plans;
4) build the actual system logic and coding required to automate the functions;
5) troubleshoot and test; and
6) roll out the new changes company-wide (as well as provide training and education to the production teams so they are aware of the changes).
That's a lot to ask of anyone in such a short time frame. That's why it is of key importance to start now. I think that many people in the industry already find themselves quickly falling behind because at this point, technical specifications should be in process and technology teams should be gearing up to actually build the new tests.
Once again honest Abe can be counted on for the applicable wisdom: "Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle." What are we all waiting for?

Lottery cancer cash row
Money will be spent on sophisticated scanning equipment
Doctors have attacked a fund that will use £150m of lottery cash to buy hi-tech equipment for hospitals across the UK, saying the money should come from the NHS.
But another substantial slice will go to pay for projects in palliative care and health promotion.
However, the British Medical Association (BMA) has criticised the fund, saying that lottery money should not be spent on the health service.
And the Royal College of Radiologists has said the money will be used to replace outdated machinary - the only new equipment will go to areas that should have had it long ago.
What it will buy
In England, the fund will cover £93m worth of equipment.
This includes:
Health Secretary Frank Dobson welcomed the fund's launch.
"Cancer equipment has traditionally been the subject of local fundraising campaigns and voluntary groups. This is an area that traditionally has not received a lot of NHS funding."
He added: "Most lottery players would rather see their money going on this than almost any other thing."
The fund's chairman, Baroness Pithkeathley, insisted that lottery cash was not being used in place of NHS investment.
"Where hospitals already have money in their budgets for equipment, we have not given them a grant."
However, a spokesman for the BMA said: "We think it is sad and disappointing that the government is reinforcing the fundraising approach to health rather than providing adequate funding for the NHS through taxation."
It has produced studies - supported by Department of Health statistics - that show "major inequalities" in access to such essential equipment across the NHS.
"Even when equality of access and provision is reached, the number of linear accelerators in the UK will still be considerably lower than other comparable European countries," Dr Dan Ash, vice-president of the RCR.
"During the same period those countries will also be enhancing their own services."
Cancer programme
The government has set ambitious targets to reduce death rates from cancer in people under 75 by at least a fifth by the year 2010, which, if achieved, would save aproximately 100,000 lives every year.
A spokesman for the Imperial Cancer Research Fund welcomed the announcement, adding: "We are keen that the government keeps up the good work.
"The provision of cancer equipment needs to be kept under continuous review to make sure that everyone in the UK has equal access to treatment with the best cancer equipment available."

The Pedal Powered blog began as the experiences of transportation reporter Robert J. Hawkins bicycling to work for one month. OK, that's over. Let's make this an all-things-bicycling blog for everybody on two wheels, or one or, whatever. You've just got to pedal it. Send your bike news and muses to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Most recent blog posts:
It is an important element in every bicycle accident story: the helmet. Was the victim wearing one or not? Just as every vehicle crash story needs to mention whether seat belts were being worn.
The other day, when an SUV hurtled up a 15-foot embankment and over a fence, killing one cyclist and seriously injuring another, it seemed like an especially cruel and irrelevant detail.
Both men were wearing helmets.
We reported this in our news stories but it seemed an especially strange detail when television news ended its report of this tragic event with the exact same wording.
There was an almost cynical tone to it: Helmets versus a hurtling, out-of-control SUV. Some protection.
Then came the story on Friday of the young boy bicycling to school in El Cajon. The 9-year-old was struck by an SUV and pinned beneath it.
"Police officers, firefighters and paramedics all credit the child's bike helmet with saving his life, " according to the story on SignOnSanDiego.
Two SUV's, two cyclists, two helmets, two very different outcomes.
There really isn't a debate over the importance of wearing a helmet. It does save lives. It does prevent serious head injuries. And, yes, some times it seems a superfluous detail in the midst of tragedy.
I admit that I felt ridiculous when I first put on a helmet and went for a ride. Bicycle helmets just simply look ridiculous, especially on a casual bicycle rider. Most seemed designed to cut wind resistance for someone hurtling across salt flats at 200 mph.
Wind resistance is the least of my issues, and I'm sure for many bicycling commuters.
And yet, after a few days, I felt slightly off when not wearing a helmet.
I went from wearing one only on "dangerous" streets and removing it on bike paths and quiet thoroughfares to simply just wearing it all the time.
It has even got to a point where I forget that it is sitting atop my head like a distorted mushroom and I walk into the office building.
I'm becoming the kind of guy I used to chuckle about, though I've never made it all the way to the elevators with a bicycle helmet on my head.
Will it save my life some day? I have no answer to that.
It is like smoking: You quit because of the several forms of cancer that it can cause but there are 105 other kinds of cancer out there unrelated to cigarettes. You may get one of them. Or not.
Helmets can prevent death and injury but they are no answer to hurtling SUVs.
What about you? Why do you wear a helmet or why don't you?

Andrea and Andrew's wedding was a little different than most. They chose a unique place off in the forest along trail 7 near Old Fort Point in Jasper for their ceremony. They had more cameras in the crowd than I have seen at a wedding since the tour bus crowds at Lake Louise. They had the most well behaved canine ring bearer I have ever witnessed. They also were the first clients I have had who held their reception at the Pyramid Stables, a venue that in my opinion is too often overlooked.
Jackie of Life Unscripted Photography came up from Calgary to shoot with me, the first opportunity we had since taking a workshop together in the Spring from our friends Two Mann. The laid back pace of the day gave us plenty of opportunity to play around with different views and different lighting. I, for one, was pretty happy with the results.

It has less to do with behavior than you might think.
Not everything in a relationship comes down to personality, or even behavior. A new study released on Tuesday suggests that even factors like your number of siblings can predict the success of a relationship. The study, which was conducted by sociologists at Ohio State University, examined data from 57,000 participants from 1972-2012 using the General Social Survey.
Co-author Doug Downey specified, "One argument might be that it isn't siblings that matter, but some other difference between large families and small families….It could have been that small families are more likely to have a single parent, or have some other issue that may hurt children in their future marriage relationship." But that turned out not to be the case. According to the press briefing, controlled factors include "education, socioeconomic status, family structure, race, age at marriage, whether the respondents had children, gender role attitudes, and religious affiliation, among others" — none of which seem to explain the influence of siblings on a successful marriage.
It's more likely that siblings affect marriage by teaching spouses better sharing, communication, and compromise skills. There is a cap to the usefulness of siblings, however. Each additional sibling diminishes the likelihood of divorce by approximately 2%– until you reach seven siblings (eight kids per family, total), at which point there ceases to be a correlation between divorce and sibling number.
Downey also organized a 2004 study in which he found that kindergarten students with siblings were rated by their teachers as having better social skills than those of only children. He also found that social skills and sibling number were not correlated by the time students reached adolescence.
John Gottman, whose work was profiled at length in Malcom Gladwell's Blink, is considered a godfather of contemporary marriage prediction models. He claims to be able to predict with 83% accuracy whether or not a couple will divorce within six years on the basis of fifteen minutes of video-recorded banter. His models generally look for variables like criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling. He also adds that stonewalling and anger predict longer term issues, with divorce an average of 16.2 years after marriage. Gottman has been criticized for reverse-engineering many of his prediction models.
What are some less traditional factors in relationship satisfaction? Some of them may surprise you. A 2005 study, for example, found that your bicycle seat may be affecting your love life. A team of researchers led by Dr. Steven Schrader, who specializes in reproductive health, found that bike seats can create small calcified masses in men's scrotums, as well as affecting libido in frequent cyclists, according to a summary by The New York Times.
Mark Zuckerberg also allegedly claimed to be able to predict the likelihood of a relationship's success based on Facebook users' behavior. His measures included friend relationships, communication patterns, and new singlehood in nodules of users.
Another unconventional predictor comes by way of Kevin Thompson, a pastor, who claims to be able to predict divorce by how newlyweds feed each other. His "findings" are hardly scientific, but they're a fun read that jibe with the more scientific work of psychologists like Gottman. Says Thompson, "The cake exchange is supposed to have a bit of 'gotcha' in it. You get me; I get you. However, some individuals ratchet up the revenge. They don't just get even, they make sure their get back' is better….If you can't lose, you might as well not get married."

Visiting Africa. Where to go?
Hey Jan!
In my opinion, Namibia should be perfect place for the very first trip to Africa (as some other countries). However, as you mentioned that it might be not just a first, but also the last trip to Africa for you, think twice of where to go and plan properly. Especially considering the fact that 3 weeks is quite a lot of time!
In this case, I would suggest you to consider visiting more countries... If you already decided for Namibia, what about to combine it with Botswana (e.g. Chobe NP and Okavango Delta) and even Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe? With such trip, you can enjoy virtually everything - landscapes, desert, wildlife, people...everything top notch. There are other options as well, e.g. if you are looking seriously for the wildlife, Tanzania is a sure shot and you can even combine it with Uganda, or even Zambia or Madagascar...
For sure, it does not make any sense to be in hurry, running through several countries and not fully enjoying it. But within three weeks, you can enjoy so many great things in Africa... Last but not least, I strongly recommend you to find the best local travel agency specialized in Africa and consult with them. That's what we are actually doing and it always paid off! It is always good to talk and plan with the guys, who have been at all places you can consider, being able to answer you every single question asked.
Anyway, wish you a nice journey and let's see, if it will be really the last trip there.

A Boca Raton nursing facility, Menorah House, has agreed to settle a religious discrimination suit filed by two former employees after management stopped accommodating their religious needs. The two employees were Seventh-Day Adventists, who do not work from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday.
Menorah House accommodated their religious beliefs for eight years before management decided that all employees had to be available to work on Saturday regardless of their religious beliefs. When the two refused to work, they were fired.
The two complained to the EEOC, which attempted to resolve the matter through its conciliation process. Those efforts failed and the commission filed suit on the former employees' behalf.
Rather than litigate, the employer elected to settle the matter by paying the two former employees $120,000. It will also train managers about religious discrimination and must disseminate an anti-discrimination policy throughout the company.
Note: An employer who discontinues an accommodation that is working (either religious or disability), it better have a very good reason for doing so.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for EXPRESS CARE INC, Herndon, VA, USA
Express Care has been helping me and my family for over 7 years now. When we came to USA we were at one point homeless and helpless because my father was shot during a store robbery where he worked. He was the only one financially supporting the family and with him in the hospital we did not have money to support ourselves. During this desperate time Express Care came in to help us with Financial needs, shelter, food, rental assistance, school supplies, transportation, and also provided translation help to the family as no one in the family spoke English then. After that they continued to help us in every aspect of life. Then on July 2009 my little sister was diagnosed with Cancer. Prior to her diagnosis for 7 months my sister suffered pain because the doctors failed to diagnose her cancer. During these 7 months my father did not do any job as he was going back and forth to the hospital for my sister's mysterious abdominal pain. During this time Express Care helped us with monthly groceries and monthly financial assistance. When my sister was finally diagnosed with Cancer Express Care stepped us even more to provide their full support in every way they could. Express Care continues to help us up to this very day and is always there during my sister's treatment for Cancer. After they helped us the very first time 7 years ago my entire family started to volunteer for them and we are still after 7 years volunteering for this organization because they are helping hundreds of families like my own and to help them help the community is our pleasure and honor because at one point we were in that same position as those families we are helping today. My family and I cannot thank them enough for they were always there with us like family members and never made us feel like we were alone. Thank you to Express Care and God Bless.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
If this organization had 10 million bucks it would help individuals because "Self-Sufficient" by providing them trainings and then placing them into employment in fields like health care workforce. Because when you make someone self-sufficient you help them help themselves provide for their family without relying on the support of others. That is what Express Care has been doing and with 10 million dollars they will only continue to expand their services to reach more areas where people are suffering.

Report: Bridgepoint and Arizona colluded for GI Bill funds
"How can we help?" wrote an education-policy adviser of the governor
Don Bauder 5 p.m., Nov. 17
Per Merriam Webster: Creed is a fundamental belief, guiding principle.
This is, basically, a public service announcement, involving cell phones. Those of you who read my blogs are aware of the recent 'surprise' on my Verizon bill regarding the term "Toll-Free". It is not. I have requested the FCC, PUC, Consumer Advocates, to require the companies using toll-free nmbers to include a disclaimer in their robotic opening salvo: "this call may not be toll-free if you are using a cell phone." OR: "this call is only toll free if you are using a landline".
Are any of you being bombarded by e-mails from CREDO mobile? This just started recently and they are making incredible claims, I believe they are bordering on false advertising (but they do include fine print!). I decided to read the fantastic offer:
"RE: Lower your phone bill -- and put it to work for social change."
"..just a reminder that our special offer expires this Thursday, May 6 — and with special offer code 301009, you'll get 25% off your monthly fee for 12 months. Click here to find out more, or call us at 866.513.8670 with any questions. Thanks! — Michael"
I sent an e-mail to Michael:
I may be one of a handful of people who would end up paying more for this "deal". I do have a Verizon account & most of my calls are to other Verizon users (that makes them free).
"Contract buyout, choice of phones and 25% off your monthly fee for 12 months.*"
Since the above statement sounds too good to be true, I assume it is. First, is this a NEW phone (not reconditioned)? How does the contract buyout work? Do you eliminate the $44.99 monthly fee? Does this include any contract or is there a limit? Then you say 25% off the monthly fee for 12 months. Of course there is the fine print. Then what? Well, here is where you come close to an actual lie. The 25% applies to 'voice' charges only. I would urge ALL potential customers to look at their current bills. Voice charges are minimal. There is no fee for the contract itself so you are not "buying" out anything, right? Without the contract, who fixes the phone if there is a problem?
You tout $69.99/month for unlimited calling, that is a $25 INCREASE for me. So, I am not impressed by your offer. Unless people do their homework, some will be 'taken for a ride' by your deals. For instance, you "buy out" the customers' current contract just to be replaced by your own 2 year contract. Talk about sleight of hand. The Verizon contract cancellation fee is $175 (for most plans). Does that become a credit with CREDO?
To say I am WAY underimpressed, would be an understatement. I suppose your partial truths keep this from being false advertising, but your semantics are very close to lies.
Since I just had a very bad experience with TOLL-FREE numbers, I am trying to get FCC, PUC, anyone who will listen to require ALL cell phone contracts to include specific language to advise toll-free is ONLY toll-free when using a landline. Are you willing to do so?
That's my opinion,<p>[email protected]>

Intent on making you the winner's feast

Surrendering their truth to cell phone rings.

Laughing graves is a scaring reality
As I moved deep into the forest,
unaware of what was ahead of me,
graves jumped out one by one
Holding to each was a white ghost
I was scared and deeply troubled as
next to me stood a faceless leader.
Games of laughter started in a chorus
Graves shook whenever ghosts laughed
Reason jumped out of my head due to fright
An angry ghost asked me why I came
Vying for trouble in the land of the dead
Eager to know what is happening there in
Secret nation built from ruins of bullets

Can't they understand that its just too much
You post or tweet but what you write you watch
Bullied by lawmakers into censoring one's post
Exactly the thing that we hate the most
Reason flew away when they made this law
Carelessly ignoring that it has a flaw
Reminding us of the days of Proclamation 1081
Ignorant lawmakers forget that those days are gone
Mindless of the freedom of speech that it would kill
Entirely forgetting that this is against Juan's will
Lawmakers who passes law but does not think
Adieu to you for your careers will stink
Wait for the next elections and watch your vote count sink
A new law against cybercrime was passed in the Philippines and it took effect last Oct.3.
This law includes a very vague section against libel and in effect it is going to curtail online freedom of speech or expression. Filipinos are against it and are clamoring for an amendment. If you are wondering about the name juan which was used in this poem then I'd like to inform those from different countries that Juan refers to the Filipino people.

Idealism gone. Work ethic deleted
No concept of service. Patriotism defeated
Continual bulls**t. Same mistakes repeated
Undermine the people. Honesty unseated
More concerned with his wallet than the poor
Believes he's owed a king's lifestyle and more
Allowing terrorists inside our shore
Never attempting to do what he is paid for
Taking from the people. Watching liberty crack
Smiling at the Camera while breaking the nation's back.

Sucking the lifeblood out of our nation
Overseeing their dependency creation
Contempt for those who have incentive
Ignoring ideas that are inventive
Assassinating common sense, instilling fear
Listen to the people but refuse to hear
Insisting it is all for our own good
Suppressing achievement as they knew they would
Twisting the truth is what they do so well
Sending our nation to a man made hell.
Quote from the idiot Speaker. "Who needs God when we have the Democrats."
If we reelect them, then we deserve what we get.

O thers try repeatedly to obscure the deal.

Might strength along with an image be a concept to consider?
Else, to be strong is considered to be mighty.
Tapping into another's reserve is a way to achieve an advantage.
The test of fate is allowed.
Like acquiring power from a source of pleasure.
Easy seen when you win.
Inoculate your fortress to be invincible.
Surface your mind to ruminate stratagem.
Absolute absorption of the power you possess.
Be of focus and conquest.
Engage your thoughts and emerge with invigorating ideas.
Trade show your heavy artillery to those you trust.
Take away knowledge to acumen the estate.
Establish an institution of today.
Respond when required even if vulnerability is present.
Wage efficaciously for thorough use of all resources.
Ornate to eradicate poor will.
Ruminate the home front amply.
Defeat downfall and roar once again.
Obstinate for thorough insight.
Resist when in question.
Time efficaciously for thorough use of all resources.
Edify to educate poor will.
Ruminate the home front amply.
Muddle downfall to roar once again.

Spring Summer Autumn Winter Acrostic Poetry.
Seeking political office is getting hard,
Party politics needs more vigor in this regard:
Republicans must try more to deliver their views
In order to organize the people, without any excuse;
Nowadays, Democrats are getting stronger, after
Gaining control of the White House and the Senate altogether.
Some people think, and it's a true fact, that
Unless Republicans try to review their policy tact,
Many of their seats will be lost in congress,
Mainly some seats in the Senate, also some of the seats they control
Especially in the House: they will have to review and
Revise their conservative norms, regarding Immigration Reforms.
America needs a strong leader
Under the present day economic conditions
To lower the country's debt of over 14 trillions dollars:
Until and unless we try to cut down spending and
Most of us try to reduce excessive wastes,
No amount of effort will save the country from disaster.
We the people think that
In this country it was
Never the right thing,
To increase excessive spending,
Even if we could afford to spend it.
Responsibility lies in all of us to reduce the nation's debt.

On labours path they have come to stay
Down the social they all prey,
Social security we drew today.
Awkward stress across streets
Voice aloud a shuffle a push,
Enter violence on this day
The day our nationals were blown away.
Holding onto life's grip, forever free

Jamaica, I hear you laughing now like a water sprite's
Amplitude of songs. You splash against the shivering light,
Militant, your bold children like stars of distant nights
Awakening to dance around the peonies throbbing sight
Infinite wisdom exalt you in your intellect and your grace
Consistent in your virtues green, industrious in your place
Admiration like a candle I bring to the table of delights.
Out of Many one people, the motto of primeval unity
Utterly devoted to human justice and our equal rights
Talented and special for your freedom to humanity
Overcomer of a dark beggining, giver of dawn and dew
Fearless torch bearers of man's true democratic dawn
Mother of the Indies, nurturer of the great spiritual view
Artistically incline us that dancers will quadrille on the lawn
Nanny and Cudjoe will be sung with heroes still unborn
Yesterday's trouble too will but a sudden shred of air
Owed to you are kingdoms where your sons all toiled for
National heritage with courage when civil rights had its scar
Endowed us again with visions for tomorrow's dim despair
Prosper once more from our ingenuity and will to succeed
Emerald fields shall be then the palaces of our humble race
Offering strangers and friends nourishment where we feed
Pledge we this to you: loyalty, love, and passion's embrace
Loving you for loving us, O Island where the seven rivers roar
Eternal blessings crown your people, their toil and your shore

A great and noble idea to improve many ways of life,
Fiasco from the start, too big was the beginning strife.
Fairness for all was never set up within the many lines.
Only the government can create, without seeing the signs.
Republicans and Democrats, lost in a world of decline.
Democrats, Republicans, live beyond, yours and mine.
Americans need to be aware of the growing control.
Before we lose everything, including our living soul,
Listen to their arguing and noncompliance to law.
Each of them has nothing, to lose after all.
Care for them is guaranteed, after they leave.
A continuance of pay, benefits with no reprieve.
Retirement is not less in their pockets, you see.
Eternal pay received, unlike you and me.
Accountability has no meaning any more.
Culpability and more they just ignore.
Take heed Americans, or be forever poor.
The head, a divine messenger for human leadership
Holy scriptures with direct instructions stay as the constitution
Eradication of mixed opinions to keep the sheep completely homogeneous
Official orientation of any kind is void of different beliefs
Creed established and adhered to irrespective of the human right stand
Religion, the command, staff, seal and national identity
Administration under the lordship of some proclaimed unseen forces
Creating a political system tantamount to totalitarianism
Yielding to semi-molded exposure or even close mindedness of its citizens.

Verifiable through implementation of rendered promises

Unwilling to admit, unable to proceed

For we have never fouled the nest like this

Listing heavily to one side, we're taking on what used to be only water
Smug arrogance put us here

Ill-gotten were the riches, ill-tended were the fields

Let's just all hope they're not setting the price on that too!!!!

Bold iniquitous laws challenged our intellect;
Lugubrious faces of privileged few prevalent.
Atramentous clouds gathered on the horizon,
Capturing the Stygian atmosphere of the land.
Keening, people decried the demise of a nation.
Whitewashed doctrines eschewed in exchange for
Heated debates and reconciliation with our brethren.
Innocuous laws are endemic to our anodyne culture.
The concentrated efforts by this rainbow nation,
Ensured transparency in our celebrated Constitution.
Slate sky and tawny tide witness historic uneven footprints in sand,
As future generations live their lives in the grey area of compromise.
Poet's note: If you found the first two verses of this acrostic poem difficult to read/understand, it might give you an inkling of The Struggle experienced by the two polarised group's to be heard and understood. Only in the final verse, we come to the conclusion that the grey area of compromise is the way forward.
iniquitous adj. Grossly unfair and morally wrong; characterised by injustice or wickedness; wicked; sinful.
lugubrious : adj. Looking or sounding sad and dismal – full of sadness in an exaggerated, affected or insincere way; Someone who looks very sad, depressed or long-in-the-face.
atramentous: adj. Meaning "as black as ink".
Stygian : adj. 1. Relating to the River Styx [which literally means "the hateful"] of the underworld Hades in Greek mythology. 2. Extremely dark, gloomy, or forbidding, eg The Stygian blackness of the cave. 3. Infernal, hellish [Dismal and dark, murky and probably a little melancholy, eg Your walk home from the bus stop might feel Stygian on a foggy, moonless night.] )
keening: v. Utter the keen [Irish funeral song accompanied by wailing]; bewail (person) thus; utter in wailing tone.
innocuous: adj. Not harmful or offensive.
endemic: adj. Regularly found among amongst (specified) people or in (specified) country or district.
anodyne: adj. Not likely to cause offence or disagreement and somewhat dull, benign.

Then load wiimod from HBC. Use wiimod to install your wads, just as you would MMM.
Hello all, i have been using this site for a while now and have had my wii soft modded for a long time. i was having problems with some newer game backups so i followed this gude to get everything to the latest version! Since updating a lot of my backups that previously worked via the disc channel now come up with 'an error has occured. press the eject button, remove the game disc, and yurn the power off' on a black screen, i was wondering if there was a fix for this as i am unable to find it anywhere on here! also the neogamma loader that came with is just keeps coming back to the system menu.
I have an older version of neogamma r8b7 which runs them fine but id rather the disc channel still worked, any advice would be apreciated :)
I need help with softmoding. All the softmoding software there is is gone, blocked, or not it.
Just click the links dude :) just downloaded the files 2-3 hours ago,make sure that you are typing/pasting the correct password :)
Is this guide updated to work with the new Wii Remotes?
Hi guys,
I had softmode a new 4.3e wii, everything works fine, except the following:
At a moment HBC want to update to a new version, and I accepted:1.1.0 I suppose.
Part 3 of the guide, related to no update make me problems because of the fact that after hold reset I enter in the screen with system menu,etc, BUT when I press A for entering in the options and block the update, wii is going to Main Menu.
As a result, when I try to play the original disc Wii Sport resort, a message say that I need to update the system, otherwise is not possible to play.Also, the original disc cannot be played in Neogamma.
Also if I try to play from usb, and launch the usb loader, the wii returns to main menu
After softmode wii is 4.1e, the homebrew channel is empty and nothing to do
Please help...
I have a bit of an issue.
I used this excellent guide and it worked fine, to a point. I have had issues with wiiflow and thought about changing my wii region setting. Firstly i followed every step other than the optional wii 4.1 downgrade. So i was on 4.2e. Then i redid everything this time with the downgrade. So now I show 4.1e.
After this I tried to region change, no "WARNING: AREA: SysMenu MISMATCH!" at the top of screen. Changed it to USA... and the warning popped up, hit save, still there... Uhoh... still have the EURO-ModPack-PAL-E.zip on my SDcard. Idiot.
Formatted it, swapped it out, started the guide again from step 1 now using the USA modpack. Did Part 1, 30 wads installed, skipped the 4.1 optional bit here as didnt think i needed to do this... then installed the IOS of 25wads. Then I went to region change, again no warning at top until i changed it to USA... Should I have installed the optional 4.1u midway through part 1 of the guide ?
I left the ARCmod06 menu, after saving it as usa europe usa europe... went back to wii sys menu, and its 4.1E still. So I am totally clueless. I am doing it step by step I must have missed something

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
To escape the religious and political discrimination they experienced primarily at the hands of the English, thousands of Irish left their homeland in the 19th century. These migrants typically settled in communities throughout the East Coast of North America, but also joined the wagon trains moving out to the Midwest. Ironically, when the American War of Independence began, many Irish settlers took the side of England, and at the war's conclusion moved north to Canada. These United Empire Loyalists, were granted land along the St. Lawrence River and the Niagara Peninsula. Other Irish immigrants settled in Newfoundland, the Ottawa Valley, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The greatest influx of Irish immigrants, however, came to North America during the Great Potato Famine of the late 1840s. Thousands left Ireland at this time for North America and Australia. Many of those numbers, however, did not live through the long sea passage. These Irish settlers to North America were immediately put to work building railroads, coal mines, bridges, and canals. Irish settlers made an inestimable contribution to the building of the New World. Early North American immigration records have revealed a number of people bearing the Irish name Furrow or a variant listed above, including:

12m. The obvious continuation to Thin Air, is a great route if you want some thing to go on about in the pub. From the stance on Knuckleduster step right and climb the arete until a good hold in the base of the groove to the right can be reached. Stand on this with considerable difficulty then continue up the groove with some trepidation.

On OHL trade deadline day, the Ottawa 67's decided to look ahead.
Defenceman Brian Birkhoff, an 18-year-old from Richmond Hill, was dealt to the Peterborough Petes for a fifth-round draft pick. Overage forward Peter Stevens was sent to the Sarnia Sting for a 14th-round pick.
"With eight healthy defencemen on the roster, it wasn't possible to provide everyone with the ice time they needed to continue their development," said 67's GM Brian Kilrea. "Sending Brian to Peterborough gives him a better opportunity for a regular shift and it also moves him closer to home, which is always a good thing.
"Moving Peter Stevens to Sarnia gives him an opportunity to keep playing in the league and clears the over-age spot on the roster that we needed for Corey Cowick."
Cowick scored four goals in three games over the weekend after missing 41 games with a shoulder injury.
Birkhoff said he was relieved because he was hoping for more ice time.
"I thought it was time for a change," said Birkhoff. "I didn't want to get traded from Ottawa. It's a great organization, but I think it was the best thing for me."
Birkhoff said he didn't ask for a trade, but he did convey his feelings to Kilrea about his lack of playing time.
"I kind of left it up to him," he said. "If he was going to trade another defenceman to help me play, either way was great for me."
Around the league
In other deals yesterday, Oshawa acquired forward Cody Alcock from Belleville for a fifth-round draft choice. Barrie added goalie Mavric Parks-- a native of Eganville -- from Kitchener for third- and fifth-round picks. Saginaw moved second- and third-round picks to Niagara for the IceDogs' first-round CHL import pick.

Cult County was originally a 3DS title that looked to be a spiritual successor to the Dementium series, which was very popular on the DS. However, a Kickstarter campaign was recently launched, and Cult County appeared to be skipping the 3DS and joining the Wii U, PS4, Xbox One, Steam, and Vita.
Or has it? Jools Watsham, Co-Owner of Renegade Kid (the studio creating the game) sent out the following Tweet on April 6th:
Want Cult County on 3DS? Let your voice be heard with a RT and share your comments, here: https://t.co/33xTiO3WAT pic.twitter.com/gVo2VOMXyK
— Jools Watsham (@JoolsWatsham) April 6, 2014
While it may appear on the surface to just be PR work to appease any upset 3DS owners, a follow up Tweet was done today:
Remember this? 162 RTs is pretty good, but not enough for us to lock in the 3DS version. We need more! Give us MOAR! https://t.co/ta4K1B1Snc
— Jools Watsham (@JoolsWatsham) April 15, 2014
So it appears that there is truth and a chance for the game to return back to its original home on the 3DS. What can you do to help? Simply retweet the original Tweet sent by Jools to confirm your interest in Cult County on the 3DS!

BuzzLogic Introduces "Conversational Ad Targeting" On Blogs
BuzzLogic started out offering analytics to identify the blogs that were having the greatest influence on particular topics or "conversations" online. Now the company is moving into the online advertising space. In a new product extension, BuzzLogic is enabling advertisers to target text or display ads on any blog within the Google AdSense network.
Marketers with existing AdWords accounts may create ads within BuzzLogic for the particular sites where the "conversation" about a product, service, or brand is happening. This capability doesn't exist within AdWords/AdSense itself. BuzzLogic has said that other ad networks will follow in the near future.
What this means is that marketers can locate, create, and then place ads, say, for digital cameras, on blogs that have the greatest influence (as determined by the BuzzLogic algorithm) on the online discussion of digital cameras. This has many obvious and some less obvious but important implications for brands as well as direct marketers. As social media and blogs gain in influence, marketers are seeking ways to take advantage of or combat their influence. What's interesting about BuzzLogic's tools is that they make that influence much more transparent to marketers. And the new ad targeting options make it actionable.
Other blog search engines and tracking tools, such as Technorati, allow audiences and marketers to see blogs that may have overall influence or are discussing particular topics. But they don't rank blogs for influence on particular topics or keywords, let alone allow marketers to buy ads on those specific sites.
BuzzLogic said its beta advertisers saw conversions that were as much as 2x better than other approaches.
We're listening.

Engagement rings have been the ultimate symbol of love for thousands of years. In ancient Egypt, they wore rings on the third finger of the left hand to mark where the "vein of love" went directly to the heart, starting a tradition that continues today. When pledging your love with a unique engagement ring, you are starting your own family tradition. The most important value factor to consider when shopping for palladium multistone may birthstone vintage-inspired engagement jewelry is the quality of the center stone. Gemvara hand-selects top quality conflict-free gems that are expertly cut for maximum beauty. The May birthstone, glowing green emerald, goes with everything, like green leaves accent every flower in the garden. Palladium is the newest precious metal. A platinum group metal, palladium is rare, lustrous, and naturally white. Our unrivalled selection of engagement rings by Jeet Palavwala, David West, Martha Gomez Gutierrez, and other talented jewelry designers means you can find an engagement ring that perfectly symbolizes your relationship. Each gem in our stunning multistone designs is carefully set by hand by our skilled craftspeople. Love vintage jewelry but can't find the perfect antique piece? Gemvara's vintage-inspired designs are made to fit you, with the style and craftsmanship you love. Clean palladium multistone may birthstone vintage-inspired engagement jewelry with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. When taking off your engagement ring, don't pull on the gemstone: this won't damage the gem but it can, over time, stretch the metal that holds it in place, making the setting less secure. Be careful when removing your ring to wash your hands. Don't leave it on the rim of a sink where it can slip down the drain! Gemvara's fine quality palladium multistone may birthstone vintage-inspired engagement jewelry are designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

LOS ANGELES — As expected, Gonzaga was picked to win the West Coast Conference men's basketball championship as voted on by the league's coaches — and, as expected, BYU was selected to finish in second place — Thursday at the WCC Tipoff event at the Time Warner Cable Sports studios.
The Bulldogs have had a stranglehold on the league for more than a decade and earned a coveted No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament last season.
The Cougars received one first-place vote in the preseason poll (coaches were not allowed to vote for their own team).
Pacific, which enters its inaugural season in the 10-team conference, was picked to finish seventh.
No doubt, the road to the WCC championship goes through Gonzaga.
The Bulldogs, who received eight of 10 possible first-place votes, are ranked No. 14 in the USA Today/ESPN poll. A year ago, Gonzaga became the first WCC team to achieve a No. 1 ranking since the 1970s. It posted a 32-3 record and made its 15th consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance.
"Gonzaga's the team to beat, and they've been the team to beat for quite a few years in this league," said BYU coach Dave Rose. "That's why the league has improved so much, because Gonzaga sets such a high standard and everyone is trying to knock them off."
Since joining the WCC in 2011-12, BYU has posted a 1-4 record against Gonzaga.
But Cougar junior guard Matt Carlino said his team is poised to challenge the Bulldogs for the title.
"I think we're definitely capable of beating them," Carlino said. "We beat them at our place our freshman year. We've just got to believe. And I think we do. It's awhile until conference play, and we have to improve, but it's going to be fun."
While Gonzaga lost All-America and NBA lottery pick Kelly Olynyk, the Bulldogs are still loaded with talent, including guards Kevin Pangos and Gary Bell Jr.
What is it going to take to dethrone Gonzaga?
"It's consistency," Rose said. "If Gonzaga plays at their normal level, a 16-2 record (in conference play) might be finishing second. You have to worry about yourself and get better in every game. And when you get an opportunity to play them, you've got to beat them to win a championship."
Meanwhile, the team picked to finish third in the league, Saint Mary's, will be without guard Matthew Dellavedova, who graduated. Dellavedova, who shocked the Cougars last season in Provo with a buzzer-beating, game-winning half-court shot, is one of the reasons BYU is 0-4 against the Gaels since joining the WCC.
"He was such a key piece to Saint Mary's team," Carlino said. "They have a great program. It's weird not to have him around."
While Gonzaga and Saint Mary's both played in the NCAA Tournament last season, BYU was invited to the NIT, where it advanced to the semifinals at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
One of the Cougars' goals this season is to get back to the NCAA Tournament, where they played the previous six seasons.3 comments on this story
"It's funny, because after (NCAA) Selection Sunday, it was the first time in a long time that we weren't selected," Rose said. "It was kind of an empty feeling that we had. That NIT was really good for our players, because five or six hours later, we found out we had another game. Our guys really embraced that and it was really good for us. But that's not what you shoot for. We want a spot in that field of 68."
Said Carlino: "We want to win the conference, win the conference tournament, be in the NCAA Tournament, and go as far as we can go in the NCAA Tournament. We're looking forward to all of that."
Junior guard Tyler Haws was the only BYU player named to the 10-member preseason All-WCC team, which also includes Gonzaga's Bell and Pangos; San Diego's Johnny Dee; and Saint Mary's Brad Waldow.
