Oduoza (2nd right) and other staff during the opening of the UBA Foundation Mini-Marathon for Prostate Cancer Awareness in Lagos
Charles Ajunwa writes on the recent mini-marathon in Lagos organised by the United Bank for Africa Foundation to raise awareness on prostate cancer
Simply caring. Apart from its primary function of the managing finances of its wide clientele, the United Bank for Africa (UBA), one of Nigeria's top banks, has through its social responsibility vehicle, UBA Foundation, touched the lives of millions of Nigerians and even beyond.
Although the bank, like any business organisation, believes in making profit, it is not unmindful of the many ills plaguing the business environment where it operates. The bank has used the UBA Foundation to positively affect the society. The Foundation has over the years ploughed its resources into the country's education, transport, health, and other sectors to try to improve lives.
In keeping with its yearly tradition of reaching out to the public, the UBA Foundation on March 23 organised a mini-marathon in Lagos to raise awareness on prostate cancer, which experts say is common in males above the age of 40. The exercise took place simultaneously in Abuja, Enugu, Port Harcourt, Kaduna, Ibadan, Kano, Maidugiri and Uyo.
As early as 6am that Saturday, participants cuttings across both sexes who volunteered to be part of the five-kilometre mini-marathon, started arriving at the UBA Car Park, Marina, the take-off point for the race. Some UBA staff were also on hand to receive and register the athletes who came out in their hundreds to be part of the cancer awareness project put together by UBA Foundation. Handouts like T-Shirts with the inscription "Mini-Marathon for Prostate Cancer Awareness," and number tags, were given to all the athletes who participated in the min-marathon.
The five-kilometre race started from Marina, the headquarters of UBA, through Agbongbon, Eko Bridge, Ijora Cause Way, to Funso Williams Way and terminated at the National Stadium, Surulere. The organisers of the mini-marathon to raise awareness on prostate cancer also set aside special prizes for athletes that came first, second and third. They went home with N500,000, 300,000 and 200,000, respectively. Consolation prizes of N20, 000 each were set aside for the first five female athletes and first five male athletes that braced the rope at the National Stadium.
As part of activities to raise awareness on prostate cancer, the organisers, apart from putting together a novelty match between the UBA Lions and the Glaxo team, also arranged a free prostate cancer screening test for men from age 40 and above.
UBA's Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Phillips Oduoza, who arrived the registration ground dressed in red sports wears and a red face cap, could not hide his satisfaction with the crowd that turned out for the race.
Oduoza, who looked athletic in his wears, while opening the race, disclosed that the bank, through UBA Foundation, was encouraged to propagate the crusade against prostate cancer by the growing incidence of the ailment among young people. He said despite the deadly nature of prostate cancer, it could be cured when detected and treated at its early stage.
The UBA managing director said, "Every quarter we do what we call jogging to bond and the whole idea is to bring staff at various levels together; it's more like a socialisation kind of thing. It's one where we have to exercise, where we play football and people, regardless of their positions, all of us just interact at that level.
"Now this particular event, we decided to dedicate it to raising awareness on prostate cancer. If you know in Nigeria, this is an illness that is increasingly becoming an issue, and the thing about it is that if you are able to detect it early enough you will be able to deal with it. But when you don't detect it early enough and it becomes advanced then you have complications and it becomes a big issue. So, we feel we should use this particular occasion to create awareness on prostate cancer for the Nigerian citizenry and that is exactly what we are trying to do today.
"What we are doing through UBA Foundation, is basically corporate social responsibility and we deal with issues that have to do with the environment; keeping the environment clean. We deal with the issues of education and I'm sure you must have heard about 'Read Africa' and all the other education-related things like scholarship and so on. Basically, we focus on corporate social responsibility issues.
"Prostate cancer is a difficult illness to handle, therefore, we want to raise awareness to Nigeria and elsewhere in various African countries. The prizes that you are going to win are very wonderful prizes and it seems to me that so many people are going to go home with wonderful prizes."
On whether the bank was concentrating on prostate cancer, Oduoza explained, "We have looked at so many other areas, I think we have looked at blindness and if I recall correctly, sometime last year, we looked at prostate cancer and this is not the first time we are doing that. The last time we did it, we were able to create a lot of awareness and we believe we need to expand that to let many more people know about it.
"A lot of people have benefitted from this and when we did it the last time, the response was very significant, many people came up and carried out the test. So, a lot of people have benefitted from it and the whole idea is to create awareness because prostate cancer is an illness that can easily be handled once it's detected early enough."
One of the consultants who carried out the free prostate cancer screening test at the National Stadium, Dr. Olasonde Eletu, a staff of Evon Medical Centre, said, "Prostate cancer is a second leading cancer in men generally all over the world. It usually starts as a slow growing cell in the prostate gland which is just a gland underneath the bladder. It's a cancer that starts after the age of 40 and that is why men above the age of 40 are usually advised to get a cancer screening test done. Most times the symptoms are very slow in manifesting because the cells themselves grow slowly so you see men who are over 80 who die and sometimes at autopsy you realise that they have prostate cancer. Since we know that it's the second leading cause of death, we always advise men above 40 to get a screening test done.
"The symptoms are usually those of finding it difficult to pass urine; you may start urinating and the urine stops and after a while it starts again and the person wakes up so many times in the night to pass urine. Anybody who experiences that is advised to go for prostate cancer test. It's slow growing, sometimes they have back pain because the cancer cells have spread to other parts of the organ particularly the bones around the waist. So sometimes they complain of that and because of the pressure effect you see men with swollen legs and when you do normal examination you realise that they may have prostate cancer.
"Now part of the medical examination that most men do usually every year is to have the rectal exam in which case a finger is inserted inside the rectum to feel the prostate gland. When you do that you can feel the texture of the gland if the gland is very hard or very painful then you may need to do further screening. But if the texture is okay and normal and the blood test is done and it's also normal then you just advise the patient on what to do.
"Black men are known to be more at risk in developing prostate cancer than the Caucasians. Also if there has been a family history; if in a family a father has had the history of a prostate cancer then the men from that man should also be aware and they should get regular screening done because the earlier the cancer cells are picked up the better the chances of survival and treatments. Now if it's just a small cancer cell that is found or in the prostate gland that area can be removed and then you may not need further treatment with follow up but if there are other methods of treatment apart from surgery, you could do radio therapy and there are hormonal remedies that can also be given to treat."
When asked to give advice on prostate cancer, Eletu said, "You know most of us as men and it's not just peculiar to Nigeria all over the world, men feel because we are men, we are macho, we don't have any symptoms and there is no need for us to go and do any test. Unlike the women who take their health more seriously than us.
So the advice will be at least once a year get your doctor to examine you, little things that are picked up early can prolong one's life. So that is the general advice and that is why it gladdens me to be seeing you do the prostate cancer test. This is the second year and I am sure it's something that is being done regularly and it's not only being done here. I am aware it's also being done in Uyo, Port Harcourt, Abuja and other places, just as part of creating awareness. I think the government and other organisations should support this kind of effort in promoting cancer awareness and not just cancer awareness, health awareness generally among men because it's men who usually don't take care of their health.
"The cost is not the issue because the test itself if you go to a government hospital it's not more than N3, 000 and even in private organisations it's not more than N5,000. What is N5,000 in a year for a man to live 10 years longer, so cost is not the major issue. Evon Medical Centre is in good partnership with UBA and that is why yearly we support this effort and any time we are called upon we are there to render the services."
Eletu, who was all smiles throughout the free screening test, said he felt glad to help humanity. He said during last year's exercise, of the about 60 men tested for prostate cancer only two were advised to go for further tests.
The doctor said the results of the tests were sent to participants via SMS alerts, stating the participant's name, age and the result. "If the result is higher than four, we then advise that you should go and see your private doctor for further evaluation. If you need to do any further thing they will advise you accordingly," he said.
Speaking at the National Stadium, the UBA Deputy Managing Director, Mr. Kennedy Uzoka, advised men aged 40 and above not to be afraid of getting tested for prostate cancer. He announced a special prize for the eight-year-old girl, Anthonia Ezekiel, who despite her age completed the marathon, far ahead of many others. "In UBA, we believe in catching them young and developing talents from the cradle. The CSR arm of United Bank of Africa, we believe in doing good and living good and hence you see us in this kind of event. We will do more going forward and we need you at all times," Uzoka said.
Mr. Adatanlen Moses, who won the first prize, received N500,000.00. The 1st runner–up, Mohammed Hassan, got N300,000.00 and the second runner-up, Alli Labbeb, went home with N200,000.00. Each of the 10 others went home with a UBA Prepaid Card, loaded with N20,000.00.
The event followed the 'Walk, Cycle and Jog for Prostate Cancer' programme organised by the Foundation in 2011 and 'Play Soccer for Prostate Cancer' held in 2012, when the Foundation brought out ex-Nigerian international soccer stars to play soccer in an effort to create awareness on prostate cancer.

Kristen Bell on the Cover of Women's Health Magazine
How Kristen Bell Stays Fit as a Fiddle
In a recent interview with Women's Heath magazine, the blond actress shares how she tries to squeeze some kind of physical activity into her schedule every day, whether it's going for a walk, taking the stairs, or hiking with her pooches. Yoga is also part of her routine to help her stay aware of her body, and strength training helps her stay toned. I love that Kristen admits she'll lift weights for much longer with a trainer than she would by herself.
Does Kristen count calories? To find out
You may be surprised to hear that Kristen does keep track. "I find it almost comforting to count calories, because it makes me conscious of what I'm eating." She is a conscientious eater too. Kristen decided to go vegetarian at age 11 for animal rights, but her mom made sure she was healthy about it. Bell explains, "I try to eat more fresh foods than processed ones, and the grainiest bread possible."
Another great tip? Kristen will exercise during lunchtime, and afterward, snack on her lunch the rest of the day. Instead of devouring it all at once, she'll enjoy a handful here, do a little work, then have another gigantic handful. She says, "It spaces the meal out to a place my body can handle." When it comes to preparing food, Kristen loves to cook. Perusing recipes online and trying them out is one thing she loves to do for others. Making food yourself is one sure way to know what you're putting in your body, so you can make sure it's healthy.

For us, wanting to go back in time is as natural as thinking and breathing. Around the world, countless people, myself included, believe that a simple trip to a certain point in our past would most likely change the course of our lives, maybe for the better, because I imagine no one would like to go back and make things worse. Some people even think about this day and night, while others dismiss the thought as impossible within a few minutes. But, then again, there are those who dedicated their life's work to finding a way of accomplishing this long-standing dream.
Over the years, numerous ideas of how to create the time machine have appeared, and they cover almost all possibilities, from generating wormholes between the folds of space to accelerating a cylinder at super-high speed. However, current technical limitations mean that these hypothetical constructions will not become a reality very soon, as most of them require materials that haven't yet been discovered. And these materials have to have properties that are not yet fully understood, but merely deduced through painstaking calculation.
But the real question that arises, if we imagine that we could go back in time, is "would we really want to do it?" Understandably, the desire to change things for the better in your life is to be praised, but who is to say that a potential time traveler won't try to change things that happened in other people's past, say an ex-boyfriend or girlfriend, or another friend that went through a tragic event? Regardless if, morally speaking, the change is for the better or for the worse, what gives a certain individual the right to make changes to everyone's future?
I have on numerous occasions thought of going back in time and stopping Hitler, Lenin and Stalin from ever taking power in Germany, and Russia, respectively. But such an action, which would seem minor in, say, 1920, when no one knew Hitler, would have massive repercussions on our current time line, wouldn't it? I mean, no more second world war, no more Korea and Vietnam conflicts, no more Cold War. And that would be just great, when looking at things simply.
Less victims of the war would mean less tragedy in the world, less destroyed families, less drama and so on. But then again, there are the inventions that were created on account of these wars, without which the world wouldn't look like it does today. For one, we wouldn't have jet liners and jumbo jets to carry us around the globe in a single day. We wouldn't even have rockets, boosters and space shuttles for that matter. No rovers on Mars, no Moon landing, no space probes throughout the solar system.
All these machines are based on German-produced rockets, which were created because Hitler wanted a way to reach England without actually invading it. After the war, the Americans were first to most launching facilities, and learned all the secrets that the Nazis had. On the other hand, the Russians reached the rifle, machine gun and ammunition factories and thus the AK-47 Kalashnikov appeared.
These are only few of the implications of a possible trip back in time. But imagine that you go back to save a relative from an accident. The "ripples" of your decision will be amplified by each passing second. In other words, if you go back 1 hour, the implications are not that large. But if you go back 50 years, then the consequences would be massive.
The real issue here is "are we ready, as a society, to live with such responsibilities on our shoulders?" And can we afford to say "yes" given the fact that we don't even know how the space-time continuum would react to a change. It could be that some physicists are right, in that, when we go back in time, change something, and then come back, then our reality could simply revert to its original state, as the ripples I was talking about earlier start pounding our "artificially-created" reality.
One thing's for sure – those who believe in a higher power, be it God, Allah, or Buddha, will strongly oppose any attempt of going back. If an announcement was made tomorrow, that NASA or ESA created a time machine, undoubtedly the first reaction that people would have would be fear, followed promptly by anger, and then fear again.
I don't want to incite panic in any way, but they would be right. And I say this because, if someone does go back, then he or she could inadvertently trigger a chain of events that could lead to someone's grandfather not being born. This would mean that a human being would simply disappear from the face of the Earth, without anyone ever remembering he or she ever existed.
This of course holds true only if theoreticians are right, and the past and future are connected to each other with a time line. Otherwise, a volunteer entering a time machine would remain stuck in the past, without any way of going back, and without influencing anything in the present.
You could ask yourselves if you would do this. If you would take it upon yourselves to go into the unknown and take action that could potentially shape the development of the entire human race. If you would like to have the fate of the world literally on your shoulders. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for exploring our limits and achieving the maximum that we can, but I also believe that we have to do this responsibly, in that we shouldn't hurry to make the first time travel just for the sake of it.
Some may argue that no major breakthrough was made without taking risks, and that's entirely true. I mean, almost. The risks in all other areas of science are containable. That is to say, if you take a chance to defuse a bomb and it doesn't work, a building or area gets destroyed. But if you change something in the past, then there is no cleaning up afterwards. Those things simply wouldn't have happened.
Indeed, if tomorrow we create the machine, and the science behind it is discovered 100 years from now, then the trip back in time should take place 100 years from now and not tomorrow, because the possible implications are extremely devious, simply because no one, by some theories, would know that something went wrong. Only an outside observer, stationed, say, on the Moon, would get up on its 5 feet and say "ooops, what happened?"

RUSH Option for Diplomas
The RUSH Option costs $10.
If you would like to add or subtract options to change the production time, this information may be helpful:
Four Important Details About RUSH Orders:
Example: A diploma order that does not have calligraphy, gold, or personalization on the cover is placed on Wednesday. This order would normally ship on the third business day (Monday). If the RUSH option is added, this order would go out the next business day, which is Thursday. If overnight shipping is selected, it would arrive on Friday. If 2-day shipping is selected, it would arrive on Monday.
Another Example: A RUSH diploma order with a personalized diploma cover is placed on Saturday. It has no calligraphy or 23kt gold. Because of the personalization on the cover, this is a order with a 4-day production time. Since the first day of production for all weekend orders is Monday, this would ship Thursday. However, if the RUSH option is added, 2 days are subtracted, which means this order would ship on Tuesday.
Try this one: An Exclusive diploma is ordered on Friday with no calligraphy, gilding or cover personalization. The RUSH option is added, and Priority Mail is selected as the shipping option. The customer says they need it on the following Wednesday. Will they have it in time? Answer: It will leave our office on the next business day, which is Monday. BUT... we don't know when the customer will get it, since Priority mail is not a date-definite service. If a specific delivery date is needed, choose one of the date-definite services, such as 3-day express saver.

The volume of new municipal bond issues has increased dramatically over the past thirty years. This new book by Alan Steiss provides an essential and comprehensive guide to the various new fiduciary and fiscal instruments used in the capital budgeting and finance process in the public sector. Steiss convincingly argues that capital budgeting and debt administration, when pursued from a strategic planning perspective as opposed to the more conventional cost-based framework, provides a forward-looking alternative based on a jurisdiction's needs, its resource base, and growth potential. Strategic Facilities Planning illustrates how the allocation of fiscal resources to acquire or construct and maintain strategic facilities can serve as a primary instrument for the effectuation of long-range public policy objectives. This book will serve as an important reference or course text for students and a guide for practitioners in public and business administration and urban planning.

Important Safety Information about PEGASYS
PEGASYS, alone or in combination with COPEGUS, is indicated for the treatment of adults with chronic hepatitis C virus infection who have compensated liver disease and have not been previously treated with interferon alpha. Patients in whom efficacy was demonstrated included patients with compensated liver disease and histological evidence of cirrhosis (Child-Pugh class A).
Alpha interferons, including PEGASYS(R) (Peginterferon alfa-2a), may cause or aggravate fatal or life-threatening neuropsychiatric, autoimmune, ischemic, and infectious disorders. Patients should be monitored closely with periodic clinical and laboratory evaluations. Therapy should be withdrawn in patients with persistently severe or worsening signs or symptoms of these conditions. In many, but not all cases, these disorders resolve after stopping PEGASYS therapy (see CONTRAINDICATIONS, WARNINGS, PRECAUTIONS and ADVERSE REACTIONS in complete product information).
Use with Ribavirin. Ribavirin, including COPEGUS(R), may cause birth defects and/or death of the fetus. Extreme care must be taken to avoid pregnancy in female patients and in female partners of male patients. Ribavirin causes hemolytic anemia. The anemia associated with ribavirin therapy may result in a worsening of cardiac disease. Ribavirin is genotoxic and mutagenic and should be considered a potential carcinogen (see CONTRAINDICATIONS, WARNINGS, PRECAUTIONS and ADVERSE REACTIONS in complete product information).
PEGASYS is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to PEGASYS
or any of its components, autoimmune hepatitis, and hepatic decompensation

It's all happening about 10 minutes away from my house. Yeah, of course, I'm going, are you kidding me?
Gateway Pundit also reports something about a buycott being promoted at the conference?:
Patriots Launch a National Campaign in Solidarity with Arizona Calling for a BUYcott of the Grand Canyon State
UPDATE: Buycott organizers will have an update Saturday, at the "Winning America Back" conference in Kansas City, MO – Featured speakers include Sarah Palin and Fred Thompson.
Dateline: Phoenix, AZ: While protestors have launched a sit in calling on the Governor to veto the bill launching the Country's first major state enforcement efforts on illegal immigration, protesters like Al Sharpton are asking for a Boycott of the State.
In response, Patriot groups around the country want to support the rights of the people of Arizona and are calling for a BUYcott of the State.
I lived in Arizona for about a year…loved their pistachios.
For almost a week, now, Obama has been blasting the new immigration law in Arizona that was signed by Governor Jan Brewer, calling it "poorly conceived". On Wednesday, he repeated the popular misconception that Hispanics will be stopped and carded based on race:
"What I think is a mistake is when we start having local law enforcement officials given the power to stop people on the suspicions that they may be undocumented workers," Obama told reporters. "That carries a great amount of risk."
Obama has sharply criticized the law, asking the Justice Department to look into whether it violates civil rights. On Wednesday, he said he understands the frustrations of people in Arizona who are faced with thousands of immigrants coming into their state illegally, but he said the state's new immigration law would only end up polarizing the debate over reform.
He should know better. Kris Kobach, who helped craft the bill, corrected that falsehood, among many others in his NYT oped, today:
Actually, Section 2 provides that a law enforcement official "may not solely consider race, color or national origin" in making any stops or determining immigration status. In addition, all normal Fourth Amendment protections against profiling will continue to apply. In fact, the Arizona law actually reduces the likelihood of race-based harassment by compelling police officers to contact the federal government as soon as is practicable when they suspect a person is an illegal alien, as opposed to letting them make arrests on their own assessment.
Newsbusters cited reactions from Byron York, and Andrew McCarthy , as well.
At the Corner, Andy McCarthy's concluded:
The people who are complaining about this law almost certainly either have not read it or are demagogues who would make the same absurd claims no matter what the law said.
You've got to be kidding me.
After months of behind closed doors meetings with lobbyists to write the unwanted health care bill; it takes a certain amount of chutzpa for the Democrats to accuse the minority party of doing the same thing.
Weasel Zippers calls it "assploding hypocrisy":
Yeah, I'd like to know who those "mysterious Wall Street executives" talking to Republicans are, myself.
I would think that after financing the Democratic majority in 2006, and 2008, Wall Street execs would be sticking with the guys who actually have the power to do their bidding. It's not like the Dems aren't doing their best to placate their masters.
I understand that the Alinsky method compels Dems to accuse their opponents of what they themselves do… This ad goes above and beyond the call of duty.

Just a reminder, in case it's needed:

This cartoon by Ramirez says it all:
Some of the most revealing glimpses into Obama's true ideology comes when he goes off 'prompter. Perhaps the most striking example of this was his October/08 quip to Joe the Plumber about "spreading the wealth". That is, until now.
Obama thinks there's a limit to how much a person should be able to earn in this country? What does he think the cap should be? I assuming that the government would take all monies earned that exceed what is allowed… Is he perhaps signaling a future financial reform? Putting up a trial balloon?
Ed Morissey notes a fundamental misunderstanding Obama has of the entrepreneurial spirit, which fuels capitalism:
… the responsibility of an entrepreneur isn't to "grow our economy," core or otherwise. It's to grow his own economy. In a properly regulated capitalist system, the natural tension of self-interests create economic growth through innovation and efficient use of capital and resources.
Put simply, a free people work for themselves, not for the government. Barack Obama seems to have a problem understanding that.
I really don't care how much a person makes, as long as he's playing by the rules. The sky should be the limit.
The hundreds of tea party protests that have sprung up since February of '09 have been entirely peaceful affairs. No police have had to be called in to rein in unruly tea partiers. There has been no violence and no drama. Just a lot of people upset about the direction the country's leadership is taking us.
But that was before Obama was forced to face the cold, menacing stares of the ladies of Quincy.
Photos via Gateway Pundit:
Obama's motorcade was greeted before he reached the Oakley-Lindsey/Quincy Community Center by a group of about 200 tea party members singing patriotic songs. Armed security personnel was called in to quell the crowd. Video via Sharp Elbows:
More videos and pix at Sharp Elbows and Gateway Pundit.
Gateway Pundit reports that a call came from inside the convention center to the Quincy police. He thinks the Secret Service unleashed the riot police on the tea party patriots.
The question is…why?
Ace says what I was thinking, but was hesitant to say…because it's just so ughhhh:
It strikes me as odd, however, that a day after the left is embarrassed to have the riot police called on those "mostly peaceful" bottle-throwing barricade-overrunning immigration protesters, the media suddenly gets the optics of "See, riot police were called on the Tea Partiers, too."
Of course, the optics created are not the optics intended.
The message seems to be that there are privileged points of view and unprivileged points of view. And the privileged speakers get to have riots, and the unprivileged get the threat of having their heads busted in for daring to wave a flag.
…"the media suddenly gets the optics of "See, riot police were called on the Tea Partiers, too." EXACTLY what I was thinking.
Can they really be that sick?
See also Gateway Pundit for: Obama Sniper Teams Ordered to Rooftops To Quash Radical Tea Party Protest
This whole things stinks to high heaven if it was done merely to intimidate these (not largely peaceful), but 100% peaceful protesters.You would think that there had been a threat on the President's life.
But no. Here's what Dana Loesch is reporting:
Who gave the order to call in the riot police on protesters? Word is that Secret Service from inside the venue and the presidential team pressured local law enforcement, who were against the idea. Local cops were overruled, I'm told by various sources, including a few members of local press. Moore reported that she overheard Secret Service telling the riot squad to "push them back, out of sight."
What next?
See also: Bob McCarty, who was there and has a report with more pix.
The official version of what happened, according to the Quincy Herald/Whig:
There were a few tense moments when the crowd moved west down York toward Third Street after the president's motorcade arrived. A Secret Service agent asked the crowd to move back across the street to the north side.
When the crowd didn't move and began singing "God Bless, America" and the national anthem, Quincy Deputy Police Chief Ron Dreyer called for members of the Mobile Field Force to walk up the street.
The officers, mainly from Metro East departments near St. Louis and dressed in full body armor, marched from the east and stood on the south side of York facing the protesters.
There was no physical contact, and the officers did not come close to the crowd, but there were catcalls and more than a few upset tea party members, including a woman who shouted, "This is communism!"
McQueen also assisted in asking people to step back to the north side of York. The crowd moved back, the officers stayed for about 15 minutes and left, and there were no other incidents.
"It's just a communication issue. We were trying to get them to move across the street," Quincy Deputy Police Chief Curt Kelty said. "We were just trying to move them back, they complied, and it was fine."
Several of the Quincy Tea Party members thanked Kelty as they left the area.
A marching platoon of officers in full body armor was called in to move the tea partiers to the other side of the street?
Why did Quincy Deputy Police Chief, Ron Dreyer think that such a draconian measure was warranted?
More video, via Gateway Pundit, of the Showdown in Quincy:
They really were singing patriotic songs.
According to the Quincy Herald/Whig:
When the crowd didn't move and began singing "God Bless, America" and the national anthem, Quincy Deputy Police Chief Ron Dreyer called for members of the Mobile Field Force to walk up the street.
Bob McCarty takes issue with that:
Not true. I was there.
Actually, you can see from the video, above, that the police in riot gear were already present before they were asked to move to the other side of the street. They were singing "God Bless America" as they were moving.
In reality, those Tea Partiers — from Missouri, Illinois and Iowa — rallied peacefully outside the Oakley Lindsay Civic Center while the president was inside, delivering a Wall Street-bashing speech.
And who heard that speech? It was a mostly liberal crowd that included at least four busloads of supporters brought in from Kansas City, St. Louis, Springfield and Chicago. Astroturf.

The justices did not comment Monday in refusing to review a Colorado Supreme Court ruling in favor of the university.
Churchill faced condemnation and calls for his dismissal over an essay describing some victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks as "little Eichmanns," a reference to Adolf Eichmann, the Nazi leader who helped orchestrate the Holocaust.
The university investigated whether the piece was protected under the First Amendment and found that it was.
But while the investigation was under way, other academics accused Churchill of plagiarism and fraud in scholarly writings, which led to his termination in 2007. None of the allegations concerned the Sept. 11 essay.

NASHVILLE – In a goaltending duel between two of the League's hottest goalies on two of its hottest teams, Nashville's Pekka Rinne prevailed on Saturday at Bridgestone Arena with 42 saves to earn his 11th straight win.
Mike Fisher, with his eighth goal in the last 10 games, earned the game-winner in a 3-1 victory over St. Louis and Jaroslav Halak, who made 34 saves.
Following a loss on Dec. 6, Rinne has won 20 and lost just twice. His 30 season victories are second overall to Detroit's Jimmy Howard.
"He was good – he was very good," Nashville coach Barry Trotz said of Rinne. "They had a really good push at the start and Peks was really solid then. We stabilized. We came back at Halak pretty good, I thought.
"We could have ran away with that in the second period."
Said Blues coach Ken Hitchcock of Halak stopping all 17 shots he faced in the middle period, "It's two-nothing and our goalie's standing on his head in the second period."
With the win, Nashville (32-17-4) vaulted ahead of the Blues into second place in the Central Division with 68 points. The Predators have gone 9-2 in their last 11.
Rinne is now 4-0 against the Blues this season, with efforts of 31, 39, 35 saves along with Saturday's 42. The teams have two more meetings this season, in Nashville on Feb. 23 and at St. Louis on March 27.
"Obviously, Rinne played extremely well and made some big saves, but I think the thing we seemed to do in stretches was to get away from our game and try to find some cute way of passing it around him and that's exactly what they want," Blues forward Jamie Langenbrunner said.
St. Louis (35-16-1) was playing its second game in two nights, with Halak shutting out the Kings, 1-0, on Friday. He has stopped 54 of the last 56 shots he has faced and has four shutouts in his last eight starts.
The Blues suffered only their second regulation defeat in the last 11 games (7-2-2). Despite that record, the Blues have struggled to score of late. Only eight teams have fewer goals scored this season, and St. Louis has been limited to two goals in the last 120:00 of play.
Rinne held off both an early and then a late charge, making many trademark glove saves. Rinne, who is tied for the League lead in appearances with 47, not only benefitted from the All-Star break but also got a rare night off in a non-back-to-back situation on Thursday in Philadelphia.
Two of Rinne's best saves came with under nine minutes left in regulation and the Blues pressuring. The 6-foot-5 goalie stacked his pads to stop defenseman Kris Russell, who skated in alone from the left point, lifting his right leg to deflect the puck. Then he pushed across the crease to stop another try from Russell on the opposite side.
Rinne said the play was a reaction born out of desperation.
"It was nice to get that, obviously," Rinne said. "It was a big save at the time. It was one of those saves that denies a sure goal, I guess. … That's the best feeling when you don't need to think. You just react and that was just one of those things."
Trotz said the save was not only a product of how "incredibly athletic" Rinne is, but also how he wills himself to stop pucks.
"He's so competitive," Trotz said. "… He never quits on a play, quits on a puck. He can contort with his athletic ability to do some incredible things. The Blues, based on what they did, they should have a point tonight."
Early on, the Blues outshot Nashville 11-3. The Preds stole the momentum when St. Louis' David Perron went to the penalty box at 6:28 of the first for hooking Ryan Ellis. Nashville, which owns the League's second-ranked power play, took advantage. Martin Erat's slapshot from the high in the zone beat Halak cleanly over catching glove, seemingly handcuffing the goalie as it sailed over his wrist. The goal was Erat's 12th.
The three players who scored for Nashville have 40 goals combined – a commentary about their balanced scoring.
"That's how we're sort of wired and lined up," Trotz said. "Tonight some of the best chances were the (Nick) Spaling-(Jordin) Tootoo-(Brandon) Yip line, but they didn't score and the other lines (did). In (Tuesday's 5-4 win in) Minnesota, it was more of the (Craig) Smith line getting us back in the game."
A puck battle among No. 74s led to Nashville's second goal. Sergei Kostitsyn came out ahead against St. Louis' T.J. Oshie, winning the puck near the Blues' net. He made a diving stab at the puck, backhanding it into the slot where Fisher wristed it past Halak for his 15th at 12:30.
Chris Porter, pressuring Nashville rookie defenseman Roman Josi, stole the puck away from Josi and quickly potted a wrist shot at 4:01 of the third period, but the Blues could not get the equalizer past Rinne.
Sergei Kostitsyn scored an empty-net goal with 22.1 seconds left in regulation.
"We have to play 60 minutes on the road and, for whatever reason, we haven't been doing that," said Langenbrunner.
St. Louis is unbeaten in its last 10 at home (8-0-2) and 22-3-4 at home on the season, but fell to 8-11-3 on the road. Hitchcock said the Blues had too many passengers and were inconsistent in their effort throughout.

Charlottesville, VA (June 26, 2012). Researchers from the Department of Neurosurgery at the David Geffen School of Medicine and the Department of Integrative Biology and Physiology at UCLA have found that a diet enriched with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an omega-3 fatty acid, and curcumin, a component of the Indian spice turmeric, can protect the injured spinal cord and minimize the clinical and biochemical effects of spinal cord myelopathy in rats. This finding is fleshed out in the article "Dietary therapy to promote neuroprotection in chronic spinal cord injury. Laboratory investigation," by Langston Holly, M.D., and colleagues, published today online in the Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine. DHA reduces inflammation and provides structural material to plasma membranes. Curcumin produces strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Both agents are safe to use and have been documented to have positive effects on the injured brain. Thus the researchers hypothesized that the combined effects of DHA and curcumin could protect the spinal cord from the cascade of cellular and related biological injuries that result from chronic cord injury.
Cervical spondylotic myelopathy is the most common disorder of the spine found in middle-aged patients. Neurological deficits associated with this disorder are related to a primary mechanical spinal injury that is followed by a secondary biological injury. Wear and tear on the spine, due to age or congenital narrowing of the spinal canal, leads to mechanical compression of the spinal cord. This cord compression in turn leads to biological cell injury or death and consequent neurological dysfunction. The primary mechanical injury can usually be corrected by surgery or other management strategies; to date, the secondary biological injury has been more difficult to treat.
The authors set out to develop a noninvasive way to promote neuroprotection from the biological injury that follows spinal cord compr

|Agreed... Was my first lead ever, around 13 years ago. Nice to have the crux so close to the ground. Since there is no pro anyway, no fiddling with gear through the 5.8 part. I take most of my new climbers there for their first lead. Fun with light exposure, protects very well, and a no brainer belay.... Watch out for the ants on the ledge!

|This climb is a great way to start a number of the moderate routes which climb the south face of Rap Rock. If you want to avoid the hell chimney, which I consider to be no fun at all, on Black Quacker I definitely recommend this as an alternative. The gear is great the whole way. Curve left at the top and belay at the enormous Pine tree on the ledge.

Only one "move" of 5.8 (to get to the crack); then it's 5.5ish and really fun.
I really like this route because it's casual, long, and in a beautiful setting.

Lovelorn is a beautiful mid-tone pink in the Lustre finish. The shine is enough to not need a lipgloss on top but not overpowering where you feel like a disco ball fell on your lips. The shade of pink can be worn by just about any girly girl of any and all skin tones and ages. This is a very pretty lady like pink lipstick.

This is beautiful neutral but bright pink. I actually picked it up a little earlier today. I had my eyes on it for awhile and finally figured, why not?! I can already tell it will be an everyday staple. I am a nude everyday kind of girl. I think this really perks up my face. I am very pale with cool undertones. This is a pink that will look good on any skintone. It's a lustre and the cool thing about Lustre's is that you dont really need to apply a gloss. Just lipstick on and out the door!

I ordered this off posh mark and based on what I saw online I thought it would be a nice light pink but was more of a coral pink which doesn't look good on me since I'm fair skin tone and have dark hair. I wouldn't buy again

This is my first MAC lipstick! I realllly like it! Its a medium bright pink and goes well with my porcelain skin. I decided to buy this one instead of the creme cup which was a little more subtle. This has that extra oomph if you are looking for a wearable pink! I love it! Also isnt drying and comfortable on my lips :)

i wouldnt buy this again, simply for the reason that it is way too expensive for what it does, mac lippies are overrated. Drugstores are stepping up their game lately and it just isnt worth the price tag anymore. I do really like this colour, its quite sheer and moisturising, altough it does seem to fade quickly. easy to find a dupe in drugstores.

This is a extremely pretty and girly shade of pink without being to garish and clownish it is a medium toned pink that gives a fresh feminine approach with any look I prefer to opt for Neutral eyes when wearing this for a more natural muted down look its a definite staple in my collection love it.

This was the very first MAC lipstick I ever bought and I absolutely could not be happier with it! It is my go to everyday lipstick! It's a soft light/medium pink that goes with everything.
I'm very very pale (NW10) with dark hair and this suits me amazingly. It's a pretty close match to my natural lip colour which makes it extremely easy for me to wear.
It's a lustre finish so the staying power isn't amazing and it does need to be reapplied often.
I will definitely be repurchasing this!

A very cute pink, kind of in the middle of bright pink and baby pink. It gives a nice youthful look to my face and suits most looks. It never looks to bright or stark like a hot pink or baby pink would. It also reminds me of something Hanna from Pretty Little Liars would wear, and she always has flawless makeup.

I am very fair, an NW15/NC15 at Mac, and I have quite dark brown hair so it's easy for me to looked washed out. I have always avoided light/sheer nude and pink lipsticks because I didn't think they suited me, then I met Lovelorn! I saw an old video of Kate from the Gh0stparties beauty blog reviewing her favourite Mac lipsticks and this was among them, I thought it'd be give it a shot on my quest to find a pale, sheer lipstick that suited me! I love this lipstick. The colour is so pretty and the texture is smooth and it's very moisturizing. It is exactly the shade it looks to be, a perfect, neutral soft pink. My only complaint would be longevity, you have to re-apply it every hour or so but it's worth it! This is currently my favourite lipstick, and I have many from Mac, all are quite bold so Lovelorn and Chatterbox are the two lighter pinks that I have that are very flattering on my skin tone!

The perfect everyday pink! Nothing too bright like St Germain, I wear it to the office every day. Would definitely repurchase

Tips For Grooming Your Horse Before a Horse Show
If you want to shine at a horse show, it's always important to make sure your horse is looking at its very best during equestrian competition. Therefore in the days leading up and the morning of the event itself, it's crucial to dedicate a little time to horse grooming.
Although the judges will be more interested in your actual riding technique, it's crucial to strike the right impression from the start by ensuring both you and your horse look the part as you turn out into the show arena. Find out a little more about horse grooming in the guide below.
Horse Grooming Guide: Preparing For Show
• The first thing to consider when carrying out horse grooming prior to a show is brushing. The horse's coat needs to be immaculate in order to impress the judges, so take plenty of time and care to brush any clumps of unsightly hair or patches shortly before the show gets underway.
• A number of specialist grooming brushes are available on the marketplace, and you can read our guide to putting together a horse grooming kit to learn more about this subject.
• It's often best to plan more detailed grooming procedures comfortably in advance of a horse show. For instance, clipping and trimming will need to be planned perhaps a week before the date of the show. It's also important to control the natural oils that can affect the appearance of a horse's coat, so bathing needs to be carried out at least 4 days in advance of the show.
• Pay plenty of attention to your horse's hooves by booking an appointment with the local farrier. This is a delicate job that requires plenty of appearance, so you should never attempt to trim hooves without calling on a professional who has expert knowledge of using the required horse equipment.
• Finally, give your horse the X Factor by ensuring your riding companion literally shines out in competition. Apply some baby oil to your horse's mane and tail to ensure your horse really looks the part as you attempt to wow the judges.

Answers needed on Fast and Furious
The disputed documents sought by the House involve Justice Department memoranda on an attempt led by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to feed weapons to Mexican drug cartels in the hope of running down illegal gun-runners. The agency tragically lost track of the firearms, which have shown up at crime scenes in which Mexican citizens have been killed. Two of the disputed weapons were found at the scene of a gun battle in Arizona, which led to the death of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, formerly of Flat Rock.
The issue now moves to the courts, where resolution could take months, if not years. That's hardly fair to the Login to read more

Synergy Story Slam at the Magnetic Field
January 17, 2011 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm| $5-$10 suggested, no one turned away
Event Navigation
The Synergy Story Slam happens twice monthly at The Magnetic Theatre (in The Magnetic Field) in the heart of Asheville's River Arts District at 372 Depot St.
Slams happen every 1st and 3rd Monday night, beginning January 17, 2011. Doors open at 7pm, you can sign up to tell stories then. Stories begin around 7:30pm. Come early to grab dinner or a drink at the Magnetic Field, then get a good seat for the show. Come to tell a story, or come just to listen.
Spring 2011 Slam nights: Jan. 17, Feb. 7, Feb. 21, Mar. 7, Mar. 21, April 4, April 18, and May 2.
Slam series finale: TBA – 1st full weekend in May
The first slam on Monday January 17th – Martin Luther King Day – will benefit the I Have A Dream Foundation of Asheville.
Why we do it:
The slam is an opportunity to share stories, to laugh, to learn, and to help out local organizations, all in an effort to build a stronger Asheville community. It's good for you to tell your stories, and it's good for us to hear them. And, of course, it's good for community organizations because part of the proceeds from door donations collected at the slam will be donated to a different local organization each week. Another big fat chunk of the door cash goes to the story slam winner -that's right friend, tell a story and it might be money in your pocket!
It's a win win, so come share your story!
How it works:
Each week, I'll announce a theme for the upcoming Story Slam. The theme for the January 17th slam is: Changes: Stories of Transformation. On the night of the slam, I'll open the mic up to anybody – poets, storytellers, comedians, teachers, bus drivers, artists, parents, coffee-drinkers, women, men, people, anybody, anybody – to tell a story that connects in some way to the topic at hand. We'll appoint at least 2 audience judges (who are not telling stories), to pick the best story of the night. The winner will get part of the cash we collect at the door, and the satisfaction of knowing they told an entertaining story. They'll also get an invite to tell their winning story at the slam series finale show in May.
Additionally, each week I'll choose one local Asheville organization, cause, non-profit, or charity to receive a portion of the money donated at the door.
See – it's Synergy!
The details:
-Entrance to the show is a suggested donation of $5 – $10, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Keep in mind that your donation will go both to the story slam winner (for entertaining you so well), and to a local community organization (for making Asheville so great). Your donation will also help the slam continue to happen, and it will help the Magnetic Theatre (a non-profit organization) continue to provide a home for Asheville artists.
-You don't have to tell a story to enjoy the slam. In fact, we only have time for so many stories, but the more people who listen, the better!
-Come early, grab dinner or a drink at the Magnetic Field, and get a good seat. Doors open at 7, stories start around 7:30.
-You can interpret the theme any way you like, but make sure there is some sort of connection in there.
-Stories should be true (mostly) and they should be personal stories that you can tell without using any notes.
-Stories should be 5-10minutes long. Please don't go over 10 minutes, or we might have to yank you off stage with a cane, and nobody wants that.
-To share a story, show up at 7 and fill out a tiny piece of paper with your name and e-mail address, then throw it in the hat and wait.
-At 7:30pm, I'll draw 7 names out of the hat and those lucky folks will tell stories. You might get to tell, you might not. It just adds to the suspense for everyone, and it keeps it shorter, since it's on a school night and all.
-At the end of the slam, our judges will discuss in an incredibly official manner and then announce a winner. The winner will go home with cash in their pocket and an invitation to tell a story at our slam finale in May. Sweet!

Efforts to identify and prevent Oklahomans high on illegal drugs from receiving certain taxpayer-financed welfare benefits cost the state more than $82,700 in the first seven months after a new law took effect.
Oklahoma's drug screening of welfare applicants proves costly
The net result was 83 adults — about 4.4 percent of those applying — were denied benefits.
Oklahoma's drug screening and testing program is more expensive — and arguably less reliable — than the one originally envisioned and proposed by then-state Rep. Guy Liebmann, R-Oklahoma City, back in Jan. 2012.
It all sounded so simple when the bill was introduced: Oklahoma adults seeking welfare assistance through the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program would be required to take a drug test.
The goal was to save the state money, Liebmann stated at the time.
Liebmann's initial bill called for the welfare applicants to pay the costs of drug testing, but it was amended so that the state now pays those bills.
The proposed law encountered a roadblock when word spread that a federal judge in Florida had issued a temporary injunction months earlier blocking enforcement of a similar law there. The court's decision was based on Fourth Amendment concerns that requiring mandatory drug testing of all applicants represented an "unreasonable search" by the government without cause.
A federal appeals court upheld the injunction in February.
Rather than risk a similar costly lawsuit in Oklahoma, state senators amended the bill here so that not all TANF applicants are required to submit to a urinalysis or similar chemical drug test.
Instead, all Oklahoma applicants are required to go through a screening process called the Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory (SASSI) where they are asked a series of indirect questions designed to detect whether they are likely illegal drug users.
Individuals identified as likely drug abusers can be required to go through an additional screening evaluation called the Addiction Severity Index and pass a urinalysis test before being approved for benefits.
The Addiction Severity Index evaluation is administered by a licensed alcohol and drug counselor and is much lengthier and more intensive than the SASSI screening, said Mark Beutler, communications manager for the Oklahoma Department of Human Services.
Mental health contract workers administered SASSI screening tests to 1,890 TANF applicants from November through May, Beutler said.
Each SASSI screening cost the state $20, so the combined cost of those screenings over a seven-month period was $37,800, he said.
Based on those screening results, 285 clients were required to also go through the Addiction Severity Index evaluation and 537 were required to take a urinalysis test before they could receive benefits. Each Addiction Severity Index screening cost the state $122 and each urinalysis test cost the state $19, he said. So the total cost of the Addiction Severity Index Tests was $34,770 and the total cost of the urinalysis tests was $10,203.
When the costs of all three drug screenings are added together, the total comes to $82,773. That's more than double the $35,910 it would have cost if Oklahoma TANF applicants had all been screened using just urinalysis testing as former state Rep. Liebmann originally envisioned.
The additional tests also have introduced some reliability questions.

NEW YORK – LiveAuctioneers.com, the Manhattan-based Internet company that provides an online live-bidding platform and related support services to more than 960 auction houses worldwide, has released second-quarter statistics revealing a marked increase in sign-ups, site visits and page views.
"What our second-quarter results have shown us is that fine art, antiques and high-quality memorabilia seem to be performing as an independent microeconomy," said LiveAuctioneers' CEO Julian R. Ellison. "Globally, the economy is struggling, but at the same time, interest in collecting the best examples from any given category has never been higher. Fine art, in particular, has been surging, as we've witnessed lately in one record-setting auction after another."
During the second quarter of 2010, there were more than 2.6 million unique visitors to LiveAuctioneers.com, where both current and archived auction catalogs are readily available to view. This figure reflects a 31.04-percent increase over the comparable quarter of 2009.
There was also a sizable jump in the number of visits to the LiveAuctioneers site, soaring from 3.2 million in Q2 2009 to 4.1 million in Q2 2010. Statistically, this result equates to a 31.99-percent increase in site visits.
"Visitors are sticking to the site and viewing more catalog pages than before," Ellison said. "During April, May and June, there were 33.7 million page views, as compared to 25.5 million in the corresponding quarter of 2009."
Ellison added that a sizable flow of traffic is being redirected to LiveAuctioneers on a regular basis through search engines.
Technology continues to be the drawcard for new visitors from non-English-speaking countries. "LiveAuctioneers' bidding platform can translate nine major languages and automatically convert bids into any of 14 currencies," said Ellison. "Add to that our online bidding apps for iPhone, BlackBerry and Google's Android phone, and it's a package that's totally up to the minute, offering every possible convenience to enrich the online-bidding experience."
Ellison noted that auction houses have responded enthusiastically to the company's White Label platform service, which allows an auction house to customize the online bidding environment for those who participate in their sales. The benefits include being able to brand the LiveAuctioneers bidding platform with the auction house's own name, linking the platform directly to the auction house's Web site and allowing bidders to register directly with auction house staff.
"We've known from the beginning that in order to stay ahead of the pack we would have to keep the emphasis on new technology. We're constantly refining, inventing and evolving. That's where our focus will remain throughout 2010 and beyond," Ellison said.

PRESS CONFERENCE - Text from 8/9/02
Press Conference
SUBJECT: Community opposition to
city settlement with Burch Management (operator of numerous sex clubs in
the Bachman-NW Hwy area).
The settlement proposed by the City
Attorney to let Burch Management out of several lawsuits with the city over
their illegal operations and non-conforming uses in our community is premature
and not in our best interest. It will only result in starting the process
over in 2003, rather than resolving 16 years of community effort.
The City Attorney did not consult
with community leaders. We did not know about the proposed
"compromises" until Friday, August 2nd, when she presented it as
an accomplished fact. Had the Mayor and Councilman John Loza not
intervened on our behalf to try to get us more protection the City Attorney
would have completed this compromise over our objections.
The City Attorney recently cost the
city over $7 million by prematurely recommending settlement in the lawsuits with
the demoted police commanders. Her predecessor cost us $12 million by
prematurely recommending settlement in the lawsuit with Cinemark.
Subsequent court rulings proved we would have prevailed in both situations in
Court. Any settlement negotiations at this time with a known violator of
city ordinances is also grossly premature.
The City Attorney is using budget
difficulties as an excuse not to do her job of defending city ordinances.
Her proposed settlement will let Burch Management out of several lawsuits and
allow them to remain on NW Highway for another year and likely permanently.
The compromise will effectively negate the city's "no touch" ordinance
in the sex clubs, which is already not being enforced because the DA is waiting
for the City Attorney to "correct" the ordinance language that a
low-level criminal judge has ruled "unconstitutional". This
impacts the entire city, not just District 6 or the Bachman/NW Hwy community.
The City Attorney is not serving Dallas taxpayers well by refusing to either
appeal the Court ruling declaring our "no touch" ordinance
unconstitutional nor revising the language of the ordinance to meet the Court's
concerns. We desperately need for this ordinance to be utilized and
I expect to be representing District
6 this time next year when the sex club operators would be required to leave NW
Highway at Bachman under the proposed settlement between the City and Burch
Management. I will be the council member the community will be
asking why the sex clubs aren't gone. Burch Management has a history of
breaking city laws and not following the rules. No amount of escrowed
funds would be adequate leverage to force them to honor their settlement deal.
There must be no compromise with the sex clubs that does not include criminal
action when public lewdness (sexual touching between customers and dancers)
occurs in the sex clubs. There
must be no compromise with Burch Management that will allow them to continue to
operate Baby Dolls on Northwest Highway at Bachman for another year. We
want all Burch facilities on Northwest Highway to close the day their license to
operate expires or the day any current waiver expires.
The City Attorney should do her job -- enforce city ordinances or correct the
language in the ordinances so they can be enforced.
