AP News
Okla. general revenue collections slow in August
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma's secretary of finance said Wednesday that low oil and natural gas prices slowed collections by the state's General Revenue Fund last month.
But Finance Secretary Preston Doerflinger said sales tax receipts have beat collections from the prior year by double digits during the first two months of the fiscal year that began July 1 and remain "a silver lining for the Oklahoma economy."
"It's too early to proclaim a slowdown in the Oklahoma economy, which has had an incredible rebound from the recession over the past two years" Doerflinger said. "After all, sales tax growth is perhaps the leading indicator of our economic strength, our corporate taxes are up and our 4.9 percent unemployment rate is the envy of neighboring states."
Total collections in August were about $386 million — down $28 million or 6.8 percent from August 2011 — and is $17 million lower than the estimate.
But sales tax collections beat the estimate by about 4 percent in July and by 6 percent in August. Sales tax collections in August also exceeded the prior year by 12 percent.
Gov. Mary Fallin said the latest revenue report indicates Oklahoma's economy is fundamentally sound.
"Our recent economic success, however, won't continue unless we continue our laser-like focus on pro-growth reforms," Fallin said. "For Oklahoma to continue its forward momentum, we will need to continue to pursue job creating policies here on a state level."
In August, gross production collections from natural gas brought in just $154,439 while the General Revenue Fund saw no money from oil collections, according to the revenue report.
Refunds and other required distributions absorbed most of the $14 million in gross collections from natural gas. As required by state law, the first gross production oil tax collections were distributed to specific funds, primarily involving education.
Individual income tax receipts for the month totaled almost $140 million — $21.7 million below the prior year and $7.3 million below the estimate. Doerflinger said part of the decline involved the timing of the remittance of withholding taxes.
But corporate tax collections were up for the month, contributing almost $4 million to the General Revenue Fund. Collections were $1.6 million or almost 70 percent above the estimate.
Sales tax collections in August produced almost $163 million, which was $17.6 million more than the prior year and $9.6 million above the estimate.
Motor vehicle taxes produced $19.6 million in August, a $353,000 drop from the previous year and $150,000 below the estimate.
General Revenue collections for the first two months of the fiscal year were $775.5 million, down $22 million from the previous year, but $3 million above the estimate.

Is there any site u can watch a match online, i heard eurosport but i dont know?
Feb 15th, 2002, 09:57 PM
In Eurosport you can get snapshots of what it's being broadcasting on TV, refreshing the screen every few seconds, however, you don't see motion.
I don't know of any site doing live broadcast over the internet or intending to do it, the only possibility would be streaming video, but the quality wouldn't be great and you probably wouldn't be able to see the ball.
Plus, you would need to have a fantastic internet connection (cable or DSL at least, but probably t1), a video card of at least 32 MB, minimum a PIII and 128 MB ram.
But the main problem would be bandwith, it would be humongous and nobody would afford that cost. I don't think the technology is yet ready to handle that, I know Cisco and others are working on it, but it's very likely it will be delayed years because the telephone companies and those who provide the internet backbone are not updating the networks as fast as the used to.
Feb 15th, 2002, 10:00 PM
which sight shows eurosport snapshots?
Feb 15th, 2002, 10:01 PM

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Yes, you are spot on.
Man hes a grump. I feel sorry for this girl, he could have at least pretended to smile
- Call Me Mo, August 29, 2011 at 6:30 PM
I'm surpised I got a semi-grin. He looks all haggard.
In other news, the blog needs more Becky. How are we supposed to stalk YOU if you don't provide any information? ;]
- coffeecat, August 29, 2011 at 7:01 PM
Yeah. Alexander Skarsgard. That's all I'm saying.
- S4M985, August 29, 2011 at 9:19 PM
- Prophecy Girl, August 29, 2011 at 9:44 PM
Sam, I think Call Me Mo was talking about her picture with Jake, where he was - uncharacteristically - almost looking half-way like he was maybe going to grin...or maybe not...but at least it didn't look like he wanted to run as quickly in the opposite direction as possible!!
As has been likely painfully obvious, updating this blog has not been happening nearly as often lately. And God knows I never have to be told twice to talk more about myself. Mo, you may have just tapped into what's been missing from my inspiration...
CC, I really wish Alex would take the time to study Jake in this picture and see how it's done. He's just never going to get anywhere in Hollywood with all this "being nice to his fans" crap. Poor guy.
- Anonymous, August 30, 2011 at 11:03 AM
looks tired, atleast hes kinda smiling...
- Solis, August 30, 2011 at 1:47 PM
Jesus, whats he thinking? getting raped or something?
My wish to meet him is getting smaller, after that pic.
@ call me mo, I´m sorry. Obviously he didn´t realize how cute you are.
- Anonymous, August 30, 2011 at 2:29 PM
That is not a fan pic, she is one of the cast members of EOW, Nellie Castillo
- Prophecy Girl, August 30, 2011 at 5:08 PM
^^^ Ah, thank you for that. I just grabbed it from the "fan pictures" section on IHJ and assumed it was a fan!
(But considering it's a coworker, that makes it even more weird that he looks annoyed to be having his picture taken.) (Also, this is such a weird picture to be all over the internet!)
- S4M985, August 30, 2011 at 6:22 PM
Ah ok that makes sense. Have I seen call me
Mo's pic?? Do we have a link? I don't remember but Ive been all over the shop lately...
I sometimes wish Jake was like Bieber in the fan department. Sash, I understand what your saying- when I was in NY I wad lookin everywhere for him
But at the same time shit scared I would find him and get rejected for a photo... Maybe is best to just dream about it!!
- S4M985, August 30, 2011 at 6:23 PM
Sorry I got that wrong Solis not Sasha!! Told ya I wad all over the shop!!
- Prophecy Girl, August 30, 2011 at 6:53 PM
HAHA!! Sam, totally understood (seriously, I can't even believe you're commenting right now!!).
Mo's account is HERE and you have to scroll down a bit, but, indeed, Jake is looking pretty happy. In all my years of blogging, Mo *still* wins the prize for fan encounters, both for ingenuity and the almost-grin. Mo, we bow down to you...
- Anonymous, August 31, 2011 at 10:40 AM
LOL Sam, I'm so tired I even thought for a moment you talked to me - and then I was thinking: When the heck did I comment here and scrolled up............ I should have just read on x) #stupidblonde
And what is wrong with at least a little grinny-smile when taking pictures .... geeeeez
Sasha, yep - the real Sasha xD
- Call Me Mo, August 31, 2011 at 10:55 AM
Ha ha. She's a cast member? He looks like he wants to punch her. Although, if she did ask for a picture with him, wouldn't that still essentially be a "fan photo"?
It's so weird how my "Jake encounter" was only just over a year a go. After the excitment wore off, I realized how mediocre it really was. In the heat of the moment, I was so naïve.
- solis, August 31, 2011 at 12:36 PM
She is a coworker?
That IS weird. Whats wrong with him???
I really would like to ask him that once.
@Prophecy Girl, thank you so much for still being here. Still blogging, while your motivation´s getting down.
We all need you and your spicy comments.
- Anonymous, August 31, 2011 at 2:11 PM
For the record, Michael Pena's shot with her was even worse. So in comparison, Jake looks like the friendly one.
- S4M985, August 31, 2011 at 4:37 PM
SNICKERS! that's all you had to say!! And you must have changed your 'name'?? Lol
Thanks for excusing me Becky!!
- Prophecy Girl, September 1, 2011 at 1:58 PM
Thank you, Solis!! :)
Mo, it *is* crazy to think that it was just over a year ago! Thinking back on what I was writing on this blog back then, I'm amazed at how I deluded myself into acting less snarky and more like a "real" fan. Prince of Persia did weird things to all of us...

Evaluation At UK Deployed Field Hospital Demonstrates Advantages Of Vision-Sciences' EndoSheath(R) Technology For Bronchoscopy
ORANGEBURG, N.Y., Sept. 9, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vision-Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq:VSCI), a leading provider of unique flexible endoscopic products utilizing its proprietary sterile disposable EndoSheath ® technology, today announced positive results from a three-month evaluation completed in 2012 by the British Army at Camp Bastion, a deployed field hospital in Afghanistan. The research evaluated the efficacy and utility of our flexible bronchoscope with EndoSheath technology and its rapid, simplified cleaning routine versus conventional bronchoscopes, which require specialized, complicated disinfection processes between each use.
The abstract, entitled " Evaluation of a disposable sheath bronchoscope system for use in the deployed field hospital," was published first online on August 28, 2013, in J R Army Med Corps. Study authors Lieutenant Colonel Andrew McDonald Johnston et al concluded that a disposable single-use sheath reduces the risk of cross-contamination and avoids the need for prolonged liquid immersion, sterilization or the increased cost of completely disposable single-use bronchoscopes. Furthermore, they found that a bronchoscope system that can be cleaned without sending it out of the deployed hospital alleviated physicians' concern regarding availability and should therefore be part of the equipment table in the field hospital. Complex endoscope sterilization systems required to ensure adequate cleaning and sterility of bronchoscopes are not part of the equipment found at a deployed UK field hospital. After use, these systems have to be sent to another facility, and the round trip, including sterilization, typically takes 1-3 days, creating a potential risk of not having a bronchoscope available at short notice.
In a deployed environment, bronchoscopy can play an important role when caring for patients who have suffered penetrating trauma as they often develop complications, such as bleeding from the airways, mucus plugging, and pulmonary infections. The three physicians who used the scope ten times during the three-month period of evaluation were all experienced in bronchoscopy, including two pulmonary and critical care physicians and one anesthetic trained intensivist. The EndoSheath technology was used predominantly in patients with high velocity fragment or bullet wounds to the thorax to clear blood from the airways. In one instance, this was found to be life-saving, and in another, it significantly shortened the length of time for ventilation and allowed early extubation. The system also demonstrated its utility in performing percutaneous tracheostomy.

So, I am in my 4th cycle post-MC and D&C (although with my wonky long cycles, it's been >5 months now).
|Wed, 12-01-2010 - 7:04pm
I am the same way. I have polycystic ovaries and I am a bit (okay probably more than a bit but let's not go there huh?) overweight but that's it. I have perfect cycles. Normally O on CD 14 and get AF 14 days later. I don't have skin trouble and I passed my IR test with flying colors. Despite all that, they put me on Metformin anyway. It does cause some women some tummy trouble so be prepared for that the first week or so. It helped me to eat it with food. Hope it does the trick for you!

Good luck with the Glucophage! I hope it helps! Good luck! I hope you caught that egg this cycle!

Just thought I would say again, i am sure i have told this before, but I am just like you as in im not the "poster child" for PCOS, but they have unofficially diagnosed me. (they wont put it in my chart because my insurance wouldnt cover me then, but they treat me and have acknowledged I have it) BUT I am skinny, and eat good, and am active. I have no facial hair, and I have no acne on my chin/neck. But its all about those ovaries :) LOL...

Big Prints, Subdued Gems
February 23, 2010 | 18k925
Spring prints and patterns are popping up all over – and the striking, bright look of all-over print can call for a more subdued series of accessories. Which makes us appreciate the classic elegance of a beaming Dantela diamond solitaire pendant. A deceptively simple setting like this adds just the right amount of depth and dimension to a solitaire, with the signature diamond enhancers giving just the right amount of glitz – and demure simplicity—to accessorize an outfit featuring a bolder pattern.

Why We Fight
Christianity is not the creed of Asia and Africa at this moment solely because the seventh century Christians of Asia and Africa had trained themselves not to fight, whereas the Moslems were trained to fight. Christianity was saved in Europe solely because the peoples of Europe fought. If the peoples of Europe in the seventh and eighth centuries, on up to and including the seventeenth century, had not possessed a military equality with, and gradually a growing superiority over the Mohammedans who invaded Europe, Europe would at this moment be Mohammedan and the Christian religion would be exterminated.
Theodore Roosevelt
May the soul of journalist James Foley, a Catholic, beheaded by the terrorists of ISIS, rest in peace. May he now be enjoying the Beatific Vision. May those responsible for his foul murder receive justice to the full for this deed in this world and the next.
Religion and Reality
And the Pope has cast his arms abroad for agony and loss,
And called the kings of Christendom for swords about the Cross.
GK Chesterton, Lepanto
Hattip to Pat Archbold at Creative Minority Report. Father Robert S. Hewes recalls some very relevant history:
Getting all medieval..
Dear friends,
"Does it please Thee, O God, to deliver into the hands of these beasts the defenseless children whom I have nourished with Thy Love?"
The words above stood out like a thunderclap.
Earlier this morning (August 11th) I was reading the entry in "Butler's Lives of the Saints" for the saint of the day: St. Clare of Assisi, a friend and contemporary of St. Francis of Assisi in the 13th century.
I had not thought to have read such words from a Saint who followed her fellow-townsman Francis in the spirit of poverty and simplicity. As a line from a movie has it, Clare "got all medieval" that day.
Well, St. Claire WAS "medieval".
However, the account of the events that lead to long-ago prayer of Claire are strikingly modern. An army in the service of (of all people) the "Holy Roman Emperor" in the year 1244 advanced on her city. This host was ravaging the area around Clare's convent just outside Assisi and was largely composed of hired "Saracens" (i.e., Arab Muslim warriors) and approached the walls of her enclosure. She took herself to the wall, the Blessed Sacrament borne before her in a pyx and she faced the advancing Islamic troops. It was then she prayed the words that began this article.
Not very ecumenical we might think. Maybe she was too harsh?
After all, can't we all just get along?
It takes two to get along.
You and I are used to assuming all people are basically good, and all religions are essentially good. How often do we think 'we all believe in the same God"?
Do we?
What is emerging and is rampaging today now in the form of "ISIS" or "ISIL" is an old story: militant Islam carrying the sword and demanding total submission to Allah as they conceive him to be. We are in merely the newest phase of a struggle that has gone on intermittently from 1400 years in the Middle East and has now spread West, as it once did. →']);" class="more-link">Continue reading
Nun Tears Down Isis Banner
We have set the seal of Solomon on all things under sun,
Of knowledge and of sorrow and endurance of things done.
But a noise is in the mountains, in the mountains, and I know
The voice that shook our palaces—four hundred years ago:
It is he that saith not 'Kismet'; it is he that knows not Fate;
It is Richard, it is Raymond, it is Godfrey at the gate!
It is he whose loss is laughter when he counts the wager worth,
Put down your feet upon him, that our peace be on the earth.
GK Chesterton, Lepanto
The good news is that the spirit of Urban II is not quite dead in all Catholics. The surprisingly good news is that it is apparently alive and well in the soul of a 77 year old nun in London:
Isis sympathisers in east London met their match in the form of a nun who tore down a flag glorifying the Islamist fanatics accused of genocide agianst non-Muslim minorites in Iraq.
There was outrage in east London after the black flag of Isis (also known as the Islamic State) was hung over the entrance of the Will Crooks estate in Tower Hamlets.
Reports claimed a gang of youths patrolled the area and intimidated members of the public who stopped to photograph the flag. Anti-Semitic threats were issued by thugs, reported the Standard.
But overnight, a plucky nun shrugged off the potential danger and tore down the flag from the gates, where it had been flying alongside a Palestine flag.
That nun was Sister Christine Frost, a Roman Catholic 77-year-old who has lived in and served the deprived local community for 44 years, as a member of the order of Faithful Companions of Jesus. →']);" class="more-link">Continue reading
Coming Soon to a Mall Near You?
The horrific mall attack in Nairobi, Kenya by Somali Islamic terrorists continues to unfold:
Yesterday, soldiers and doctors who were among the first people into the mall after it was reclaimed on Tuesday, spoke of the horrifying scenes inside.
'You find people with hooks hanging from the roof,' said one Kenyan doctor, who asked not to be named.
'They removed eyes, ears, nose. They get your hand and sharpen it like a pencil then they tell you to write your name with the blood.
'They drive knives inside a child's body.
'Actually if you look at all the bodies, unless those ones that were escaping, fingers are cut by pliers, the noses are ripped by pliers. Here it was pain.'
A soldier, who took pictures at a bread counter and at the ArtCaffe, said he was so traumatised by what he saw he has had to seek counselling.
Bomb disposal experts with sniffer dogs were yesterday painstakingly combing the part of the building still standing for explosives before clearing forensic officers, police and troops to search for bodies. →']);" class="more-link">Continue reading
Defeat in Afghanistan and Against Al Qaeda
Lara Logan of CBS News gave an incredible speech earlier this week in the video above detailing the lies of the Obama administration regarding defeat in Afghanistan and the resurgence of Al Qaeda throughout the Middle East. One of the more mindless mantras of the Obama re-election team was Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive. That is why the Obama administration was in fraudulent denial for so long that the Benghazi attack was a result of terrorism and instead attempted to blame the Mohammed video. Rather than destroying Al Qaeda the Obama administration has presided over a debacle in the Middle East where the jihadists are rising in strength with Benghazi being a symbol of their renewed power. Bravo to Lara Logan for putting Journalism first and leaving politics aside. →']);" class="more-link">Continue reading
That Inconvenient First Amendment
Eric Posner, a University of Chicago law professor, and son of Judge Richard Posner of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, one of President Reagan's less wise judicial appointments, writing in Slate thinks that perhaps it is time that Americans stop making a fetish of freedom of speech as embodied in the First Amendment. Christopher Johnson, a Protestant who has taken up the cudgels so frequently in defense of the Church that I have designated him Defender of the Faith, gives Posner a fisking to remember:
University of Chicago law professor Eric Posner thinks that this country really needs to dial down its obsession with free speech:
The universal response in the United States to the uproar over the anti-Muslim video is that the Muslim world will just have to get used to freedom of expression. President Obama said so himself in a speech at the United Nations today, which included both a strong defense of the First Amendment and ("in the alternative," as lawyers say) and a plea that the United States is helpless anyway when it comes to controlling information. In a world linked by YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook, countless videos attacking people's religions, produced by provocateurs, rabble-rousers, and lunatics, will spread to every corner of the world, as fast as the Internet can blast them, and beyond the power of governments to stop them. Muslims need to grow a thick skin, the thinking goes, as believers in the West have done over the centuries. Perhaps they will even learn what it means to live in a free society, and adopt something like the First Amendment in their own countries.
Maybe that's right. But actually, America needs to get with the international program.
But there is another possible response. This is that Americans need to learn that the rest of the world—and not just Muslims—see no sense in the First Amendment. Even other Western nations take a more circumspect position on freedom of expression than we do, realizing that often free speech must yield to other values and the need for order. Our own history suggests that they might have a point.
Look at it this way. At least the trains will run on time and everyone will be able to read the "No Food Today" signs. Posner points out that it was the left which first turned the First Amendment into an weapon.
The First Amendment earned its sacred status only in the 1960s, and then only among liberals and the left, who cheered when the courts ruled that government could not suppress the speech of dissenters, critics, scandalous artistic types, and even pornographers. Conservatives objected that these rulings helped America's enemies while undermining public order and morality at home, but their complaints fell on deaf ears.
Shogi, the Japanese version of chess, has a unique characteristic. Because of the way the pieces are shaped, no piece is ever completely out of the game. Any of your pieces that I happen to take can be turned around and employed by my army.
A totem that is sacred to one religion can become an object of devotion in another, even as the two theologies vest it with different meanings. That is what happened with the First Amendment. In the last few decades, conservatives have discovered in its uncompromising text— "Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech"—support for their own causes. These include unregulated campaign speech, unregulated commercial speech, and limited government. Most of all, conservatives have invoked the First Amendment to oppose efforts to make everyone, in universities and elsewhere, speak "civilly" about women and minorities. I'm talking of course about the "political correctness" movement beginning in the 1980s, which often merged into attempts to enforce a leftist position on race relations and gender politics.
Posner wants Americans to remember two things. The First Amendment is strictly an American idea whose inspiration is not shared by anybody else in the world and which cannot force people stop thinking bad thoughts.
We have to remember that our First Amendment values are not universal; they emerged contingently from our own political history, a set of cobbled-together compromises among political and ideological factions responding to localized events. As often happens, what starts out as a grudging political settlement has become, when challenged from abroad, a dogmatic principle to be imposed universally. Suddenly, the disparagement of other people and their beliefs is not an unfortunate fact but a positive good. It contributes to the "marketplace of ideas," as though we would seriously admit that Nazis or terrorist fanatics might turn out to be right after all. Salman Rushdie recently claimed that bad ideas, "like vampires … die in the sunlight" rather than persist in a glamorized underground existence. But bad ideas never die: They are zombies, not vampires. Bad ideas like fascism, Communism, and white supremacy have roamed the countryside of many an open society.
In the past, American "values" have made this country look bad to the rest of the world.
Americans have not always been so paralyzed by constitutional symbolism. During the Cold War, the U.S. foreign policy establishment urged civil rights reform in order to counter Soviet propagandists' gleeful reports that Americans fire-hosed black protesters and state police arrested African diplomats who violated Jim Crow laws. Rather than tell the rest of the world to respect states' rights—an ideal as sacred in its day as free speech is now—the national government assured foreigners that it sought to correct a serious but deeply entrenched problem. It is useful if discomfiting to consider that many people around the world may see America's official indifference to Muslim (or any religious) sensibilities as similar to its indifference to racial discrimination before the civil rights era.
It says in another part of the First Amendment that the US government is supposed to be indifferent to the sensibilities of all religions. That's what we were always told whenever some governmental entity allowed the display of the Cross or the Ten Commandments anyway. So it's unclear why the United States government should care one way or the other about the feelings of Muslims.
But according to Eric Posner, they apparently should care deeply whenever Islamic feelings are hurt. Not only that, this American law professor thinks that the fact that Washington was unable to legally force Google to take that film down is a scandal.
The final irony is that while the White House did no more than timidly plead with Google to check if the anti-Muslim video violates its policies (appeasement! shout the critics), Google itself approached the controversy in the spirit of prudence. The company declined to remove the video from YouTube because the video did not attack a group (Muslims) but only attacked a religion (Islam). Yet it also cut off access to the video in countries such as Libya and Egypt where it caused violence or violated domestic law. This may have been a sensible middle ground, or perhaps Google should have done more. What is peculiar it that while reasonable people can disagree about whether a government should be able to curtail speech in order to safeguard its relations with foreign countries, the Google compromise is not one that the U.S. government could have directed. That's because the First Amendment protects verbal attacks on groups as well as speech that causes violence (except direct incitement: the old cry of "Fire!" in a crowded theater). And so combining the liberal view that government should not interfere with political discourse, and the conservative view that government should not interfere with commerce, we end up with the bizarre principle that U.S. foreign policy interests cannot justify any restrictions on speech whatsoever. Instead, only the profit-maximizing interests of a private American corporation can. Try explaining that to the protesters in Cairo or Islamabad.
I've got a better idea, Professor. Try explaining to the protestors in Cairo and Islamabad that ANYTHING that happens inside this country is none of their damned business.
The mendacity and dishonesty of this piece is easily ascertained by asking yourself a simple question. If some form of artistic expression had insulted Jesus or villified Christianity, would Posner still have written it?
If some museum displays an egregiously blasphemous painting of Jesus or Mary, if a particularly blasphemous movie was made, if another TV show or play debuted which ridiculed Christians or if Bill Maher opened his pie hole, would Posner think it regrettable that the US government was unable to legally prevent these things from happening?
Of course he wouldn't. The question wouldn't even come up. And the reason why the question wouldn't come up is simple. Christians don't kill people and destroy property when they are insulted and villified or their Lord is blasphemed.
A faculty sinecure at the University of Chicago Law School would seem to suggest a certain level of intelligence. So it's hard for me to figure out why Eric Posner thinks that restricting American rights simply to avoid offending Muslims is a good idea. →']);" class="more-link">Continue reading
We Apologize For Breathing
Hattip to AllahPundit at Hot Air. Your tax dollars at work. The State Department is paying for the above video to run in Pakistan. I find it breathtaking in its complete incomprehension. The foolish anti-Mohammed video is merely a pretext for the Jihadists to carry on their war with us. Obama and Clinton could apologize from now until Doomsday and it would have no impact, except to convince watching muslims that the United States leadership is weak and confused which is a completely accurate assessment of the Obama administration abroad. →']);" class="more-link">Continue reading
Terrorist WMDs Found?
Hattip to Jammie Wearing Fool. The above could of course just be an official who fumbled an interview with a reporter eager to turn a routine story into something more, or it could be someone who inadvertently told some very alarming truth:
A port official has admitted that a 'weapon of mass effect' has been found by 'partner agencies' in the U.S., raising major questions over a possible government cover-up.
The disturbing revelation came in an interview with San Diego's assistant port director screened by a television channel in the city.
The Customs and Border Protection Department tried to dampen speculation over his remarks, but doubts remained over whether he had inadvertently revealed a dirty bomb plot to attack the U.S. mainland. →']);" class="more-link">Continue reading
Jihadists, Truth and Father Raymond J. de Souza
The appalling murder of dozens of Christians at Our Lady of Deliverance Cathedral by Al Qaeda on October 31, gives us another opportunity to look into the minds of these butchers.
Al Qaeda released a statement on the Internet claiming the attack.
"Upon guidance issued by the Ministry of War in the Islamic State of Iraq in support for our downtrodden Muslim sisters that are held captive in the Muslim land of Egypt and after accurate planning and selection, an angry group of righteous jihadists attacked a filthy den of polytheism," according to the statement, which was obtained by The Long War Journal. "This den has been frequently used by the Christians of Iraq to fight Islam and support those who are fighting it. With the grace of God, the group was able to hold captive all those in the den and take over all its entrances."
Based on the statement, it appears that al Qaeda in Iraq had hoped to hold the Christians in Baghdad hostage for at least two days, as a deadline for "the release" of Egyptian women supposedly being held in Coptic churches in Egypt was issued.
"The mujahidin in the Islamic State of Iraq give Egypt's Christian and belligerent Church as well as its chief of infidelity a 48-hour ultimatum to disclose the status of our sisters in religion, who are held captive in Egypt's monasteries of infidelity and churches of polytheism," al Qaeda demanded. "The mujahidin further demand the release of all of them together with an announcement of the release via a media outlet that the mujahidin can access within the deadline."
Al Qaeda said that if the demands were not met, "the lions of monotheism [al Qaeda's fighters], who wore their explosive belts, will not hesitate to kill the militant Iraqi Christian captives."
Al Qaeda in Iraq also threatened to carry out attacks against Christian churches across the globe.
"Afterwards, various attacks will be launched against them inside and outside this country, in which their lands will be destroyed, their strength will be undermined, and they will be afflicted by the humiliation that God ordained for them," al Qaeda said.
The jihadists want us dead because we are Christians. They have absolutely no compunction about slaying Muslims who oppose them, and in their eyes Christians are fit only to be killed or to be slaves. The alleged reasons given by Al Qaeda for the attack on the Cathedral are completely delusional and demonstrate yet again that to them the murder of Christians is, in itself, a positive good. →']);" class="more-link">Continue reading
Comedy Central Cowers Before Jihadists While Mocking Christians
The cowards at Comedy Central who censored South Park after receiving death threats from Jihadists, as I detailed here and here, now show their "courage" by announcing a new show mocking Christ. My friend Jay Anderson at Pro Ecclesia gives us the details:
"Fresh off of heavily editing a depiction of Mohammad in "South Park" following threats from practitioners of the "Religion of Peace", the "edgy" comedy network, Comedy Central, shows its artistic "courage" in announcing a new series blaspheming Jesus Christ:
Comedy Central might censor every image of the Prophet Muhammad on "South Park," yet the network is developing a whole animated series around Jesus Christ.

Doctors believe the seizure stemmed from a spinal cord injury Wolfe suffered in the preseason, the report said. "I had a bruise on my spinal cord," he said. "I thought it was fully healed and I came back a little too soon and I just kept hitting it, kept hitting it, kept hitting it. And it screwed my nervous system up a little bit, just kind of crisscrossed the wires a little bit.
"And really just mentally, it was hard to deal with because I didn't know what was going on and why I was losing weight and all this, and my adrenals weren't functioning right, nothing was really working right and what it came down to was I needed to let it heal, I needed to let myself heal. So, I took about two months and I just did nothing. And I feel better than I've ever felt before."
Earlier Tuesday, Denver signed former Patriots cornerback Marquice Cole.
The offensive probables include quarterback Peyton Manning (ankle) and wideout Wes Welker (concussion). The others are tight end Joel Dreessen (knee) and offensive linemen Steve Vallos (concussion), Chris Kuper (ankle) and tackle Winston Justice (finger).
The defensive probables are defensive backs Kayvon Webster (thumb), Champ Bailey (shoulder) and Duke Ihenacho (concussion).
"He's having some medical appointments," coach John Fox told the Denver Post. "They haven't given him back to us. Our concern is first for Derek's medical well-being. "I wouldn't say he had a setback," Fox added. "This isn't like an ACL or ankle injury. He's gradually getting a little more physical activity."
Wolfe has practiced twice since suffering seizure-like symptoms in late November. Moore (leg) was eligible to return to practice last week, but has not done so, the report said. No word yet on the reason for Phillips' absence.
Wolfe, who experienced a seizure-like episode on Nov. 29, missed the last five games and will not return to practice this week. He might return on a limited basis next Monday, the Denver Post has speculated, but is unlikely to play in the conference semifinals that weekend.
Additionally, quarterback Zac Dysert and offensive linemen Chris Kuper and J.D. Walton were not in uniform for the game.
Bailey is dealing with a fott injury, but was able to take part in full practice Thursday and Friday. Holliday was unable to practice until Friday, and was limited.
"I think they're still trying to get a handle on what happened," Fox said.
Kuper, Clark and Walton were all listed as probable on the injury report. Rodgers-Cromartie came into the week listed as questionable.
Wolfe is a key cog who played 84.4 percent of the defensive snaps last season, second-most behind Elvis Dumervil, the report said.

These cookies were intended for a gingerbread house but one of the walls accidentally broke so I had to figure out a way to use them. Well, there was no need to cry over spilled milk and after all, lots of wonderful recipes were created due to an accident.
The wafer cigars were intended for the decoration of the gingerbread house and the frosting was ready, so I cut the biscuit the size of the cigars and spread some sugar frosting to glue them to the biscuit.
Some smaller pieces which could not be shaped were closed in an air tight container. They tasted wonderful and we ate them as they are but still there were a lot of leftovers, which after a few days later they were used as a base for a cheesecake.
Note: This recipe should make a lot of cookies. Each tin of cigars has 20 and I used 3 for each biscuit, so you will probably need 2 – 3 tins of cigar wafers. When you make them, cut rectangular cookies with a knife 4 x 9 cm (1 1/2 x 4 inches) each before baking, as they would look much better.

Remington® M-30™ Earmuffs
Muffs have a noise reduction rating of 30 - the world's highest. Soft pivoting foam earcups and wide padded headband for additional comfort. Only 10 ounces. NRR of 30.
Remington® M-30™ Earmuffs 2 2
Good Product, but..... I bought a pair of these muffs @ 5 years ago. I find them very comfortable. The wide head band makes it easy to wear for long periods of time, like several hours on the Sporting Clays range. I use them for all kinds of shooting, indoors and out. Rifle, pistol and shotgun. They work just fine. When I say, "Good product, but...", it's because for the price, you can get a pair of electronic muffs that will work, probably, equally as well. If you don't like electronic muffs, or just don't trust them, then these are good protection. July 28, 2011
Junk I purchased one of these and they broke the first time I used them. Took then back to Bass Pro and they replaced them, no problem, thank you Bass Pro. The replacement pair broke int the same place the first time I used them. the issue is the the swivel on the muff. It is made of plastic that is too weak. Sorry I would not recommend this product to any one. September 14, 2009

Before you rush out to invest your baby's shower gifts in savings bonds or commodities, consider an investment's tax consequences. While your child is learning the ABCs, learn a few new letters yourself: UGMA and UTMA. The Uniform Gift to Minors Act and the Uniform Transfer to Minors Act are state laws that define special types of accounts designed to make it easy to put securities in minors' names. Under these provisions, the minor is the owner of the securities, but an adult acts as custodian of the account, responsible for prudently investing assets until the child reaches the age of majority. (The age for termination of the custodianship varies among states, so consult your tax advisor.) Potential tax savings in these types of accounts can be substantial: The first $650 in annual investment income in a minor's account is exempt from tax, regardless of his or her age. The next $650 is taxed at the minor's rate of 15 percent. Amounts earned over $1,300 are taxed at the parents' highest marginal rate. Once the child reaches age 14, all annual investment income greater than $650 is taxed at the minor's rate.
UTMA and UGMA accounts are a great idea for some investors, but large amounts of assets built up in these accounts could interfere with your child's ability to qualify for financial aid. Rules for qualifying for aid are subject to change, but currently, schools expect students to use 35 percent of their own assets and 5 percent of their parents' assets to pay tuition before they can apply for need-based financial aid.
If you're an older parent whose children will attend college after you reach age 591|2, consider saving for their educations by fully funding your retirement accounts, through tax-deferred annuities or through real estate investments. Savings here grow without tax until withdrawal and won't be counted as part of your assets when schools look at your financial aid application. And, unlike UTMA and UGMA accounts, these assets are your property, not your child's. You still have control over them (and maybe over your kid!) when your child reaches the age of majority.

NCIS Review: Double DiNozzo Dutyby Steve Marsi at . Comments
It's not quite art imitating life, but it is awfully coincidental that the investigation into the unexplained drowning of Robert Wagner's late wife, movie star Natalie Wood, was just re-opened after 30 years, with the actor's actions during one infamous, booze-filled night the week of Thanksgiving arousing suspicion.
No one is implying Wagner was responsible for Wood's demise - he wasn't a suspect then and isn't now - but his NCIS character found himself at the center of a similarly mysterious case in "Sins of the Father."
This time, Tony DiNozzo, Sr., was accused of murdering a business colleague, and the seriousness of that offense made for a more subdued encounter than Wagner's previous two free-wheeling appearances.
It was still a strong episode, however, thanks primarily to Michael Weatherly, whose command of the whirlwind of emotions experienced by "Junior" throughout the evening was pitch perfect.
Weatherly and Wagner pull off the father-son dynamic brilliantly, even if their relationship is anything but conventional. This hour showed each actor at his best, both individually and playing off the other.
In the middle of the DiNozzos was Gibbs, not only the lead investigator but Tony Jr.'s de facto father figure. Gibbs showed again why he's such an effective leader a in a case that was as messy as they get.
He sidelined Tony, but had his back. Chastised him for getting too involved, but understood completely. Didn't give Senior the benefit of the doubt by any means, but showed him mercy for Tony's sake.
Weatherly was terrific as the flustered agent and son longing for answers from his ... regarding this case and so much more. Mark Harmon, as usual, was the steady hand, the man the team looks up to.
There was no B story or side plot tonight. It was all about Tony Sr. from the opening credits to the conclusion, with the whole team immersed in the case of the late Lt. Massey, found dead in Senior's Rolls.
Rented, of course. For a deal that never ended up happening.
At first I was skeptical that the elder DiNozzo would be the focal point of a case, again. Once the details were spelled out, however, it actually seemed like the kind of thing he would be involved in.
While it was near impossible to believe the NCIS writers would make our very special agent's dad a killer, things didn't look good after he admitted being hosed by - and threatening to kill - the deceased.
He had motive, means, opportunity, way too much to drink, no recollection of what happened and a history of various shady (if not illegal) dealings. Not exactly a recipe for clearing one's name in a hurry.
Even Senior knew he was up against it this time. Rather than acting like he was above it all or pulling his usual salesman schtick, he seemed as desperate for answers as his son, who was off the case.
Luckily, Junior is a fine investigator and Dornigan a poor handler (likable fella, at least). Even if it meant going against orders, Tony wasn't about to let the old man go down for a murder he didn't commit.
It's hard to tell what bothered Tony more, his father's tribulations or being held back from the case. Clearly both ate away at Junior, who tried anything and everything to be involved, from failed attempts to bribe Abby to full-on wrestling files out of McGee's hands in full view of other colleagues.
Gibbs made the right call in his attempts to distance Tony as best he could, even if that proved futile. Gibbs was also right to ignore Tony's breaches of protocol after the fact (did Vance even have to ask), and earlier, when he bluntly stated that his understudy deserves much better than this clown for a father.
Entertaining as Senior (and Junior's stories about Senior) can be, it's hard not to feel bad for the younger.
Instead of chasing women and money, he could have been with a son who just wanted a dad. Even now their relationship is not exactly emotionally transparent ... though their exchange at the end was a start.
The scenes at Chez Gibbs - so many memorable moments seem to take place there, with a wide range of characters, late at night - were among the episode's finest. Who didn't laugh out loud at him heating up some warm milk for his guest? Or at the sight of Senior in Gibbs' familiar USMC sweatshirt?
Those two form quite the odd couple. Hopefully Fornell doesn't get too jealous.
I had a feeling the old man was creeping at the end, too, when Tony began pouring his heart out to his boss about the deep affection he has for his dad. Apron on, cooking utensils at the ready, he appeared out of nowhere to interrupt a mortified Junior at the most awkward of moments ... classic stuff.
Senior's innocence was eventually established in a bit of a hasty conclusion, thanks to Tony and Abby's sleuthing - he was drugged and framed, apparently - but seeing him vulnerable and not in control for 50-plus minutes added a new dimension to the character and made for a good episode overall.
I just hope they invited the rest of the gang for Thanksgiving at Gibbs'.

I really felt this show was a retread. I could not understand why Gibbs didn't check the bar at the beginning of the show and also why Tony is still struggling as an almost 50 year old about his father who he talks to throughout the season and who visits him every year. It isn't like his father left him ion the desert to die. I do hope this is the end of the "my father doesn't love me" and let me go "cry to Gibbs" ep. Also the killer I knew 5 minutes into the show when McGee and Ziva went to visit. Personally I;ve had enough of Robert Wagner for a year. Michael Weatherly was good in the episode I would just like to see him get on with his life with his father and take another angle. He's not the only kid that grew up with one parent.
It was a fabulous one that for sure way better then last weeks by miles the one thing that did bother me was Mcgee I mean after all he did the samething with his Sister and his grandmother were a part of the case tony had his back why could't Mcgee have tony's. Also Vance prove to me why he better then Jenny at the job because even though he know its wrong for a agent to be invloed with a case that has a family memeber he knows that there no point in arging with gibbs As much as I like Tony father I think maybe its time for him to go considering the actor who play him is now the most hated man alive
enjoyed the suspense and tonis involvement and eventuial solving of the case against his father.
it was pretty good I liked it. I felt bad for Tony deal with his father RJ and Michael have great chimistry and he couldn't work the case, I liked how he was trying to bribe Abby and failed. I also like how SR ask Tony when he going to sweep Ziva off her feet. I liked the end with Tony telling Gibbs about his father and SR was there. I like this episode I just hope if or when SR comes back he comes back it be on a good note for Tony.
I loved this episode from start to finish. The best was when Gibbs was telling Sr that Tony doesn't and never did care about the money that all he wanted was a dad. And Gibbs being a father like figure toward Tony. Then the end when Tony was pouring his heart out to Gibbs about his dad leaving him again and not telling him. Then all of a sudden he poops out from the kitchen. They are making a slow start at tiring to be father and son. But I think he is still closer to Gibbs and always will be. He spends more time with Gibbs so Gibbs knows him.
You all know I adore my NCIS , but I will be honest, I was deeply disappointed in tonight's episode. It was predictable from the moment it began. I am also finding that as this goes on, the team interaction is becoming .. this hurts to say, also bland. I am not going to criticize the show merely because I am a huge NCIS fanantic.. it is because of this that I do. Going from last week's top 2 --Engaged was brilliant to this episode was a let down .. I also am noticing that lack of flow with the shows.. they take us from the emotion to almost a breaking action and it is jarring.. Abby's arc of being adopted has ceased to appear.. it's not like NCIS. I know I know.. I rank this season as one of the best.. but I do hope that episodes like this are not standard fair.. Really was not happy with it.. and that is rare indeed.
wh was wonderful as usual, tony was especially good at being a son and a pain in the butt to the team even though they sympathized with him. all togather a darn good show. cant wait to see it again.
Excellent episode. I really loved that Sr. came across as a real person who's scared by what he may have done and what he may face. I like this "human" version of Sr. more than the smooth-operator/con man facade he usually displays. MW did a great job with all the emotions of frustration, fear, exasperation, and love for his dad. Both MH and MW just get better every season at peeling back the layers of their characters. They always find something new to explore and show us.
When Cote de Pablo was cast for NCIS, her Ziva replacing Sasha Alexander's Kate, the show developed palpable chemistry. NCIS is holding up despite the boon in popularity and accordant executive attentions. Michael Weatherly deserves an Emmy nomination for this episode.
Enjoyable episode. It was fun seeing Tony being left out of an op, and not happy about it....his attempts at getting any information was typical Tony but reminded me of a kid on the playground trying to take the kids lunch money! I was hoping Dornigan, the agent assigned to dad, would not have folded under Tony's bribery, or that Gibbs would appear around the corner with a head-slap, but he did against Gibbs' orders. And sort of wished Tony didn't go investigating on his on, also against Gibbs' orders...but that's Tony, and with Gibbs forgiveness! Walker is superb as his father....right down to looking like an aged Tony -- good choice by the writers...even though it is acting imitating life (which is a shame it was resurrected), and Tony is Tony. McGee and Ziva were enjoying keeping Tony out of the loop, too, but so wanted to tell him all the details. Thanksgiving should have been at Ducky's, as always, with dad invited, or helping in the kitchen, however, loved the ending. Good show -- one of my very favorites!

Maersk Line dedicated the Margrethe Maesk, a 7,000-TEU container vessel, at Odense Steel Shipyard, Denmark.
The ship, which was dedicated March 8, is the first in a series of six new container ships being built by Maersk parent, A.P. Moller-Maersk.
Among the ship's environmentally-friendly features is a waste heat recovery system to optimize the use of the energy produced by its 12-cylinder Wartsila RT-flex diesel engine, which develops 93,000 brake horsepower, a measure of power not including the loss in power caused by auxiliary components.
