Pope Calls Upon Brazilian Bishops to Speak out against Abortion as Election Approaches
By Matthew Cullinan Hoffman, Latin America Correspondent
VATICAN CITY, October 28, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Pope Benedict XVI is telling Brazil's Catholic bishops to speak out against ideologies that justify abortion, only days before a hotly contested presidential election in which the frontrunner has been accused of supporting the decriminalization of abortion.
In a speech delivered to a group of Brazilian prelates present in Rome for a regularly-scheduled visit, Benedict stated that "in defending life we should not fear opposition and unpopularity, refusing any compromise and ambiguity that conforms us to the mentality of this world."
Calling abortion "an intrinsically evil act" that is "morally unacceptable and incompatible with the dignity of people," the pope added that "when political projects contemplate, openly or in veiled fashion, the decriminalization of abortion or euthanasia, the democratic ideal -- which is only truly such when it recognizes and safeguards the dignity of every human person -- is betrayed at its foundation."
"Any defense of political, economic, and social human rights that does not include the energetic defense of the right to life from conception to natural death is totally false and illusory," the pope also said.
The pope's words are likely to be read as an affirmation of Brazilian bishops and other religious leaders who have raised their voices in recent weeks against the ruling Labor Party and its frontrunner presidential candidate, Dilma Rousseff.
Rousseff and the Labor Party have publicly endorsed the decriminalization of abortion in Brazil, but during the election Rousseff has backpedaled from her previous stance. She now says that she is "personally against" abortion and even calls it an act of "violence" against women. She has signed a public statement stating her personal opposition to decriminalizing abortion, but has refused to say that she will veto pro-abortion legislation.
The vocal and very explicit opposition of some bishops in the Brazilian episcopate such as Luiz Gonzaga Bergonzini of the diocese of Guarulhos, has been denounced by other Catholic bishops, one of whom accused Gonzaga Bergonzini of violating campaign laws. His letter encouraging people to vote against the Labor Party was removed by the National Conference of Brazilian Bishops from its website during the campaign. The pope's words are likely to bolster such prelates in their conflict with their more timid colleagues.

Synthetic grass companies say business has increased dramatically this summer as people turn to low-maintenance lawns.
Artificial turf lawns need no fertilizer or water.
"It's maintenance-free," Denton resident Tommy Thompson said. "You don't have to fertilize it, don't have to water it, and it's green year-round. My backyard is my paradise, oasis. I love sitting out here and knowing that I can look at a green yard and not have to do anything to keep it up."
The latest news from around North Texas.
Business at Synthetic Grass Pros, a Lewisville company, is booming. The dry weather and water restrictions have pushed lawns to the limit.
"More and more people are replacing their entire yards," company owner Tim Dvorak said. "We are replacing more front and back yards this summer than we have ever done."
Dvorak said the synthetic grass is pet-friendly but not completely heat-resistant.
"It does get warm," he said. "It stays the same temperature as concrete. In the direct sunlight, it can be an issue."

The UN-Arab League peace envoy for Syria held talks in Moscow Saturday to find a way out of the Syria conflict as after Russia upped the pressure on President Bashar al-Assad to open talks with the rebels.
Lakhdar Brahimi met Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov amid signs that Russia - the only world power with close ties to the Damascus regime - was playing a more active role in finding an end to the bloody crisis that has claimed over 45,000 lives.
His trip came amid a flurry of diplomatic activity in Moscow on the Syria conflict that this week also saw a rare visit by the Syrian deputy foreign minister as well as Egypt's top diplomat.
Foreign ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said that the talks with Brahimi were aimed "at ending the violence and launching a national dialogue in the country between the authorities and the opposition."
Brahimi met Lavrov at the foreign ministry guest house in central Moscow, with the two men later to hold a joint news conference on the results of their closed-door meeting.
In a clear shift from its tone in most of the 21-month conflict, Russia has in recent weeks started to countenance the possibility that Assad may not be able to stay in power, prompting hope Moscow will push him to accept a negotiated solution.
In contrast to Russia's past suspicion of the rebels battling the Assad regime, Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov said Thursday Russia had made an offer of talks to the opposition Syria National Coalition.
However the head of the group - formed in November with the encouragement of the West - showed little enthusiasm for the idea, saying such talks could not take place in Moscow and demanding that Russia apologise for its past policy.
"We have said frankly that we will not go to Moscow," Ahmed Moaz al-Khatib told Al-Jazeera television.
Khatib said Russia should apologise for "interfering" in Syrian affairs, condemn "massacres" committed by the regime and issue a "clear call for the departure of President Bashar al-Assad."
If these conditions were met, talks could be held with the Russians "but only in an Arab country and if there is a clear agenda", he said.
Lavrov earlier this week urged the Assad regime through visiting Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Muqdad to put all options on the table and engage with the opposition in talks.
But Russia has steadfastly refused to explicitly call on Assad to step down, even though President Vladimir Putin acknowledged this month there was "need for a change" after the family dynasty's 40 years in power.
The fast-paced diplomacy came as violence continued to rage on the ground with forces loyal to Assad seizing a district of the central city of Homs after a fierce assault that sparked a humanitarian crisis.
"The army launched an offensive several days ago on the neighbourhood of Deir Baalbeh with heavy bombing, and the fighting and attacks continued until the rebels withdrew," said the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
It said the day earlier that government air raids on the town of Al-Safira, south of second city Aleppo, killed 15 civilians, eight of them children.
In Deir Ezzor province in the east, rebel fighters overran the Tanak oilfield east of the provincial capital, the watchdog said.
Video footage posted on the Internet by activists showed the bloodied corpses of six soldiers they said were killed in the fighting. Its authenticity could not be verified.
The Observatory said three rebel fighters were also killed.
With concerns intensifying about the humanitarian situation, UN chief Ban Ki-moon will chair an international conference on January 30 in Kuwait to raise money for Syrian civilians caught up in the conflict, the United Nations said.
The UN is calling for $1.5 billion (750 million euros) to help through June nearly one million Syrian refugees and four million other Syrians affected by the conflict but who remain the country.
The UN refugees office registered 500,000 Syrian refugees and expects nearly a million more by June 2013 -- figures that represent 4.4 percent of the pre-crisis population.

i got the Obi-wan role play set too! my mom made me jedi robes and we went to go see EP1 wearing our jedi robes, i think we were 6 when it came out. Then a couple months later we out grew our jedi robes and were really sad becuase we loved going out in them so my mom got really good cloth that looks like the robes that Obi-wan wore and what Qui-gon wore, i got obi's robes and Boba Dude got Qui-gons robes it was really cool. before EP1 came out we saw that obi had hair growing out the back of his head so we started doing that, and after we got our second robes they were long enough to put in a pony tail, so we went out to the mall to do some shoping and were in Sears when some lady came up behind me and pulled my hair!!! just becuase it was there to pull and i cried becuase she pulled it really hard and when my mom saw me crying she saw the lady walking really fast away.
stupid lady.
Hey she pulled my hair too, stupid lady!
Yeah my mom said "Well you should have turned around and pulled her hair too." then she called the woman a "stupid bit**"
When we were at the movie theater, in line for 2 hours I was board so I kepts hiting the dude in front of me with my lightsaber, it was fun. After my mom saw me smaking the dude, she said "Put that thing on your belt, or I will take it away" after hearing that, the lightsaber was on my belt in the blink of an eye.
-Boba Dude
yeah i remember you smack the guy he was geting really mad too! it was funny
that day was so fun for me then after the movie we spent the day playing star wars and have lightsaber fights
im 13 and i still play star wars! me Boba Dude and my friend were acting like we knights of the old republic and we were playing in a private school parking lot and some little brat came up to us and said " what do you guys think are?" and i said that we were jedi and she said" Hey john theses kids think that thier luke skywalker" and i said "no we are knight of the old republic so just get out of here we were here first" she ran off
heheh the things people will do if they see you with a PVC pipe lightsaber
Yeah PVC pipe lightsabers are the BEST! they are so much cheaper than buying ones from like hasbro or somthing. They are strong too.
So what if his spelling suck. Mine sucks too. But people don't correct my (at least not that often) But people can still read it and know what he is saying.
It would be best not to get into a fight though
yeah and if the blades break there so cheap to replace!
Yah like a $1.45 for ten feet at home depot!
well thats a good way to indrose your self correcting me
yeah i know my spelling isnt that greatest but people can still read it
so dont go off correcting people man
I could've sworn you just tried to tell me what to do. Heheh, funny mate. I am the vengeance of the English language, which n00bs have so brutally eviscerated and killed.
period after me.
Capital Y
capital I
And I require no introduction sai, I was here before, and it's not I who writes like an insatiable n00b. And Boba Dude, don't go barging into things that don't concern you, or I'll rail on your grammar next, like so.
question mark after sucks
don't correct mine
One thing you guys need to get into your heads: This isn't instant messenger. These are message boards, where you aren't pressed for time in any way. So take the time to run it through a bloody spell check first.
Alright mate, you need to cut with the exclamation marks. In addition, you need to work on your reading as well as your grammar. I said, and very truthfully, that you write like a n00b. You do, and I think that people old enough to use the internet and go to school should be bloody well able to spell. So you know what? How about to actually listen to all those people that yell at you because of your grammar, and do something about it. Not even that hard, just type everything in Microsoft Word before posting here and run a spell check. This entire post I'm writing has not been put through a spell check, I just wrote it in the message box; so there's no excuse for the slaughter you've performed on the English language. We're talking syntax genocide here.
ain't* (you misspelled an already improper word, nice job mate)
Well sai, you still have grammar and spelling problems, so apparently, you do need more from me. And you tried telling me what to do again, that part made me laugh.

I have a client server program using UPD created in MFC. In the server there are two listboxes. The first one displays the ip addresses of the connected clients.
I want the second listbox to display the MAC address when i click the ip address from the listbox.
So how can I display the MAC address of the client by clicking the ip address in the first listbox?
so i used this code to get the MAC address:
the code above just provides the currents computer mac address so it doesn't matter which ip address i click in the listbox because it only displays the same mac addressCode:IP_ADAPTER_INFO AdapterInfo[16]; // Allocate information for up to 16 NICs DWORD dwBufLen = sizeof(AdapterInfo); // Save the memory size of buffer DWORD dwStatus = GetAdaptersInfo( // Call GetAdapterInfo AdapterInfo, // [out] buffer to receive data &dwBufLen); // [in] size of receive data buffer assert(dwStatus == ERROR_SUCCESS); // Verify return value is valid, no buffer overflow PIP_ADAPTER_INFO pAdapterInfo = AdapterInfo;// Contains pointer to current adapter info do { PrintMACaddress(pAdapterInfo->Address); // Print MAC address pAdapterInfo = pAdapterInfo->Next; // Progress through linked list } while(pAdapterInfo); // Terminate if last adapter }

Good quality brace, exactly as described and quick delivery. Would recommend.
Very impressed with the service-braces arrived quickly, communication was excellent and love the braces! Would definitely buy from this company again.
Exactly what my husband wanted.
My husband loved these braces. They are strong enough to wear with work trousers yet very comfortable because they are wide.
Very happy with my order! Arrived very quickly. The braces are good quality. I've bought them as a birthday present for someone and I'm sure they'll love them.
These braces are excellent, fun to look at and certainly the only ones that keep the trousers in place. Would highly reccomend
God quality and great service. Thanks
Delivered on time. Comfortable to wear,
Excellent product, will use same if required in future
We brought these as a present for our builder - he was absolutely thrilled with them. We were really pleased with the really good quality, and also the robustness of the clips.
Great braces and prompt delivery. Excellent value for money.
Arrived very promptly (within a couple of days). Very impressed with the braces, they are so strong and dependable! My husband is so glad about the strong clasps as his previous ones kept pinging off. He wears work trousers with lots of heavy things in so they are really good for that.
British Braces won't let you down. David Kert
The braces are just the job.
Easy website, good delivery
Good value for money. Good service. Highly recommended!
The braces arrived in good time and the order was complete. Our four granddaughters loved them and will use them a lot for all sorts of outfits
Excellent best I have bought they actually stay on trousers!

Vegan MoFo - Ricki's Fudge Nut Clusters!
1- Grab a bucket.
2- Place bucket on your lap.
3- Scroll down and read the rest of this post.
4- Drool profusely into bucket.
5- Put bucket down and wipe off any excess drool from your chin.
6- Go hug Ricki for sharing this obscenely amazing recipe.
It took me about 20 minutes to make these little clusters of heaven, so I figured I'd take my sweet time taking lots of pictures for my hungry readers. They are fudgy and nutty and chocolaty and dreamy! The recipe calls for cashew and macadamia butters, but I am a broke vegan and all I had was almond butter which worked wonderfully anyway. If they are *this* good with almond butter, I can't imagine how friggin' awesome they are with yummy macamadia... see I can't even spell properly thinking about a batch of madacamia... macadamia nut butter based Fudge Nut Clusters! I did have a few macadamia nuts that I used for the nutty bits, along with almonds. Thanks for sharing yet another addictive recipe, Ricki! :)

What do Angelina Jolie and Sarah Jessica Parker have in common? How about $30 million?
According to Forbes' annual list of Hollywood's top-earning actresses, both "The Tourist" star and the "Sex and the City" star brought in that much over the course of the past year. Jolie primarily through high profile films, and Parker through a combination of her residual "Sex" cash and an estimated $18 million in sales of her signature fragrance, "Lovely."
Just below Jolie and Parker sit Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, both of whom can claim earnings of $28 million from May 2010 to May 2011.
U.S. & World
The rest of the list indicates a bit of a changing of the guard in Hollywood, as the once powerful Julia Roberts saw her standing sink to fifth - tying her with upstart Kristen Stewart of "Twilight" fame. Sandra Bullock - usually a fixture on the list - didn't even crack the top 10.

It almost looked like the deficit wars were over.
The hawks who insisted that we must make deficit reduction a major priority seemingly retreated, as the growing economy took the wind out of their sails.
But it looks like they're gathering for one more go at a grand bargain.
NYT's Thomas Friedman has a column urging Obama to give one more shot at a "grand bargain" that would involve lower future spending and higher taxes. Friedman believes that this will unlock corporate confidence and spending.
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough continues his crusade for deficit reduction, calling Krugman a debt denialist.
And WSJ reports that today, Simpson and Bowles, the two faces of deficit hawkism, will unveil a new plan (their 4th) providing specifics on how money can be saved on closing loopholes and reducing healthcare expenses.
So the deficit wars aren't over yet.
Despite a virtually nil possibility that DC is going to do anything substantial on the deficit, the hawks and the grand bargaineers are giving it one last go.

CAMBRIDGE — The nanny and infant brightened the neighborhood near Harvard Square, a smiling tandem who routinely waved at shopkeepers around the corner from the modest apartment where Aisling McCarthy Brady cared for Rehma Sabir.
Now, Rehma is dead, the victim of a catastrophic head injury, prosecutors say. Brady has been charged with violently assaulting the baby two days before she died. The case has stunned and saddened those who knew them.
"This kid was very normal, smiling, happy all the time. She looked like she was being taken care of very, very well," said Dao Lee, 55, who owns a nearby laundromat on Mt. Auburn Street. "The child had no sign of distress. It was a tremendous shock to us."
Authorities said Rehma was alone in Brady's care on the afternoon of Jan. 14, when police responded to 34 Ash St., near the Charles River, and found Rehma breathing but unconscious.
The infant died Jan. 16 at Boston Children's Hospital, less than a week after a party marking her first birthday was attended by 20 people in her family's apartment.
The allegation that Brady, a 34-year-old native of Ireland, could have injured Rehma so seriously seemed incomprehensible to Lee, who shook his head and pointed to the spot where Brady would stop the stroller so the baby could wave at Lee and his wife.
"She looked like a very good nanny," Lee said. "The kid never showed any sign of fear, or being dirty, or being traumatized. The kid looked perfectly healthy. I think I would detect something, but in all honesty I never detected anything."
Brady was ordered held on $500,000 bail at her arraignment Tuesday in Cambridge District Court. Brady's attorney said Rehma's injuries, which included healing bone fractures, could have occurred at any time.
Rehma's parents, identified by a law-enforcement authority as Sameer Sabir and Nada Siddiqui, could not be reached for comment Tuesday. The child's father, a native of London, has partnered to create start-up companies in the life sciences on both sides of the Atlantic, according to information on the Internet that linked him to those companies and to the apartment where Rehma was found injured.
"In start-up life, it is sometimes difficult to differentiate between personal and work life," Sabir said in a 2011 interview on the website of The Indus Entrepreneurs, a networking group that made him a fellow in its Startup Leadership Program.
In 2003, Sabir cofounded a British consulting firm that helped Scandinavian life sciences companies develop business opportunities in the United States.
In 2009, he cofounded a Cambridge company, MoMelan Technologies, with a Massachusetts General Hospital dermatologist who is a pioneer in laser hair removal.
"I have caught the start-up bug and the life-sciences bug, and hope to do this again and again," Sabir said in The Indus Entrepreneurs interview. "Having one or the other is a challenge, having both is positively dangerous! Running a start-up is a way of life, and life sciences is an addiction."
Sabir cofounded MoMelan Technologies with Dr. R. Rox Anderson after Sabir graduated in 2009 from a dual-degree master's program in economics and science at the Sloan School of Management at MIT and the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology.
Anderson, who taught a course in which Sabir was enrolled, "had invented a novel approach to skin-grafting, which I felt held significant potential both in terms of helping patients and from a commercial perspective," Sabir said in the interview.
In 2011, MoMelan Technologies received a $750,000 grant from the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center, a quasi-public state agency. The company was sold in December to Kinetics Concepts, a health care corporation in San Antonio. Sabir is described as the former chief executive of MoMelan in a news release about the sale.
The child lived in a plain four-story, brick building between Mt. Auburn Street and Memorial Drive, according to law enforcement authorities.
One neighbor, who asked not to be named because of the sensitivity of the case, said residents there tend to be a mix of young professionals and the elderly who keep to themselves. "I hardly ever see anyone," the woman said.
Lee, the laundromat owner, said he believes Brady began working as Rehma's nanny when the child was about 3 or 4 months old and her mother returned to work.
"She seemed very attentive to the kid, very happy, very energetic," Lee said of Brady. "She even stopped my wife from cuddling the kid. 'No, don't do that,' she said. 'Your hands might be dirty.' "
Brady's walk with the stroller became a daily delight, Lee said. He and his wife would wait expectantly for Rehma's smile and wave, he said.
"My wife and I love kids," Lee said, standing at the front of his small business, which includes dry-cleaning services, 12 clothes washers, and eight dryers. Behind him, photographs of nieces, nephews, and the small children of customers adorned the wall.
"I pray for the family and for the kid," Lee said. "This is a very lovely neighborhood."

PRINCETON, N.J., Feb. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Soligenix, Inc. (OTCQB: SNGX) (Soligenix or the Company), a development stage biopharmaceutical company, announced today its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Soligenix's revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $3.1 million as compared to $7.6 million for the prior year. The decrease in revenues was a result of $5.0 million received in 2011 from Sigma-Tau Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Sigma-Tau) for rights to orBec® (oral beclomethasone 17,21-dipropionate or BDP) in the European territory. Grant revenue increased by $0.5 million primarily related to increased reimbursable costs from the Company's four active government funded programs most notably our ThermoVax™ thermostability technology grant focused on a novel method of rendering aluminum salt adjuvanted vaccines stable at elevated temperatures.
Soligenix's net (loss) for December 31, 2012 was $4.2 million, or $(0.37) per share, as compared to $2.4 million, or $(0.22) per share, for the year ended December 31, 2011, representing an increased loss of $1.8 million. This increased loss is primarily related to the receipt of $5.0 million from Sigma-Tau in 2011 for the rights to orBec® in the European territory offset by decreased expenses in research and development related to the conduct of our Phase 3 trial of orBec® in the treatment of acute gastrointestinal Graft versus Host disease (GI GVHD).
Research and development expenses for the full year 2012 were $2.6 million as compared to $6.3 million for the full year 2011. This significant decrease is primarily attributable to the discontinued Phase 3 trial of orBec® and the payment of approximately $1.0 million in the form of cash and company stock to our orBec® licensor in connection with the Sigma-Tau Agreement. General and administrative expenses for the full year 2012 were $2.6 million, compared to $2.2 million for the full year 2011. This increase is related to professional fees and non-cash expenses for replacing previously issued warrants to Sigma-Tau upon reacquiring the rights to orBec® and accelerating the vesting of certain stock options issued to a former employee.
As of December 31, 2012, the Company's cash position was $3.4 million with working capital of $2.7 million.
Christopher J. Schaber , PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Soligenix stated, "Throughout the year, we continued to make progress in advancing a number of our programs utilizing oral BDP, in both our BioTherapeutics and Vaccine/BioDefense business segments, as well as expanding our pipeline with acquired technology. In December 2012, we were successful in regaining North American and European commercial rights to oral BDP from Sigma-Tau and we expanded our pipeline with the acquisition of a novel innate defense regulator technology known as SGX94. We believe SGX94 is highly synergistic with our existing development pipeline in cancer supportive care and biodefense, and we anticipate the potential for a number of grant funding opportunities for SGX94 across both business segments."
Schaber continued, "In January, we were pleased to receive an invitation from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) to submit a contract proposal for the development of OrbeShield™ for the treatment of gastrointestinal acute radiation syndrome (GI ARS), which was submitted in February. We are also pleased with the momentum we have built entering 2013, and are excited about the opportunities we see in both of our business segments. I look forward to reporting on our progress on all programs throughout the coming year."
Soligenix's Recent Highlights:
About Soligenix, Inc.
Soligenix is a development stage biopharmaceutical company developing products to treat serious gastrointestinal diseases where there remains an unmet medical need, as well as developing several biodefense vaccines and therapeutics. Soligenix is developing proprietary formulations of oral BDP (beclomethasone 17,21-dipropionate) for the prevention/treatment of gastrointestinal disorders characterized by severe inflammation, including pediatric Crohn's disease (SGX203), acute radiation enteritis (SGX201) and chronic Graft-versus-Host disease (orBec®), as well as developing its novel innate defense regulator (IDR) technology for the treatment of oral Mucositis (SGX942).
Through its BioDefense Division, Soligenix is developing countermeasures pursuant to the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) Strategic Plan of 2011-2016 for inclusion in the US government's Strategic National Stockpile. Soligenix's lead biodefense products in development are a recombinant subunit vaccine called RiVax™, which is designed to protect against the lethal effects of exposure to ricin toxin and VeloThrax™, a vaccine against anthrax exposure. RiVax™ has been shown to be well tolerated and immunogenic in two Phase 1 clinical trials in healthy volunteers. Both RiVax™ and VeloThrax™ are currently the subject of a $9.4 million National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) grant supporting development of Soligenix's new vaccine heat stabilization technology known as ThermoVax™. Soligenix is also developing OrbeShield™ for the treatment of gastrointestinal acute radiation syndrome (GI ARS) under a $600,000 NIAID Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant. OrbeShield™ has previously demonstrated statistically significant preclinical survival results in two separate canine GI ARS studies funded by the NIH.

How to Clean Jute Rugs
Posted by Natural Area Rugs on Sep 9th 2013
The choice of a natural fiber based carpet such as the jute rug may be a preference for many. The natural brown shades of jute makes it the perfect accessory to accentuate the ambiance of the room. Although it can be dyed in a number of colors to suit the requirement, it is much desirable in the natural form. An extensive variety of the best quality jute rugs is available at http://www.naturalarearugs.com/jute-area-rugs/ Jute is a cheap and abundant natural fiber grown in a number of Asian and Middle-Eastern countries. It is environment friendly and completely biodegradable which makes it popular among the environmentalists. However, jute rugs require extra care and maintenance efforts to ensure its longer life. Jute and moisture are foes for each other. The fibers tend to get stained and damaged in humidity. It is therefore advised never to use jute rugs in moist areas like kitchen and washrooms where greater chances of spills exist. Moreover, one should never to use liquid cleaners on jute carpets as it will result in exactly the opposite. In order to care for a jute rug, the following procedures are prescribed which assures longer life for the rug: Vacuuming twice in a week: The jute rug fibers are loosely woven. It is highly unlikely for dust to get lodged in a jute rug. Instead the dust remains loosely locked between the fiber mesh. Vacuuming is sufficient enough to remove the dust and make the carpet look fresh and new. It is better to swipe the vacuum head in all directions over a specific area to make sure all dust is removed. In case of a spill: If a liquid is accidentally spilled on the rug, one should blot it out. Rubbing the affected area will not only spread the liquid but also leave an unsightly stain on the rug. Moreover, it is highly recommended not to use a jute rug in areas where spills can occur. It is favorable to immediately dry the moisture from the carpet after a spill using a hair dryer or blower. The longer the moisture remains, the more damage it is likely to do. If the spill is of any solid, it can be removed using a blunt utensil like a butter knife after it has dried. Be careful not to damage the fibers so that the rug does not tear or fall apart. Annual Cleaning: In the long run, the jute carpet is likely to soil and discolor from mildew. One can use a solution made from one part mild bleach mixed with six parts water. Test the liquid on a small stained part of the rug to see if it is the right concentration and dilute it further if necessary. Spray it lightly over the rug and clean it with a soft cloth. Even in this case, blotting motions will prove to be better than rubbing motions. Prevention is better than Cure: It is a good idea to treat the rug with jute sealers and protectors so that the fibers can sustain the daily wear. This is a proactive action which can increase the life of the rug.

We've been waiting for this moment to arrive for some time. Now it is upon us, and neither the Republicans in Washington nor investors in Wall Street really want to talk about it.
It's time to raise the nation's debt ceiling.
For Republicans, particularly in the fracture GOP House conference, we have heard muted noises, but little real guidance as to whether they will demand anything from President Obama in exchange for once again allowing the limit on the federal debt to be raised. They know the president will refuse to negotiate with them.
After the GOP shutdown the government for a brief period of time last year, endless polls were produced to somehow show that the public blamed Republicans for the shutdown. Ironically, when it started, some polls showed more Americans blaming Obama. That quickly shifted to basically equal blame for Republicans in Congress and the president.
And after the media got to work on the matter, polls soon started putting the blame on Republicans alone. Had the president's own disastrous web launch of Obamacare not commenced at the same time, the press would have ridden the GOP shutdown until it was beaten to the ground.
Lost in all of the news blur was the fact that most economic indicators revealed that the shutdown of government had little if any impact on the economy. That seems lost on everyone, including the weak-kneed Republican establishment that cringes at the mere thought of a meaningful showdown with President Obama.
Instead, House members have been wringing their hands, trying to decide what, if anything, they will ask of a president who in his own State of the Union address made it clear that he will ignore them and, whenever possible, will govern by fiat.
Oh, they have considered ideas such as asking for concessions over the Keystone Pipeline, a muddle-headed idea if ever there was one. We are just now learning that our nation is in its best shape in years in regard to access to oil and energy, so do we want to bring things to a halt over an issue that less than 20 percent of Americans even remotely understand? So inside the beltway in thinking. So special interest. So stupid.
How about this one, Congress? Why not take the one thing the entire nation fears or despises and take a stand on it? Why not demand an end to this absurd Affordable Care Act, leaving only the portions for preexisting conditions and older kids on their parents' insurance years intact. Those are the only two parts of Obamacare that get any approval from anyone, including most Democrats.
But no. These Republicans are facing reelection, and we all know that being reelected is far more important to them than having a showdown with President Obama of real substance,
And even if the Republicans in the House, who have a majority mainly because of all the hot air they bellowed out in 2010 about taking just such bold actions, were to actually do so, they would cause panic.
That's because Wall Street is about as in touch with the real world as Dick Nixon in his months in office. The economy is still sputtering, and the average bloke hasn't felt any real extra coin in his pocket. But, hey, this market is bulletproof and should just keep charging like a bull, right?
What would all those silk-stocking experts on Wall Street do if those unwashed and ghastly conservatives in Congress stood up to President Obama and refused to raise the debt ceiling? We all know that S&P had the nerve to downgrade U.S. credit a few years back, and look what the Obama Justice Department is doing to them. And heavens forbid the markets get spooked for a few weeks and stocks fall to where they should be versus their overvalued current status. Wall Street would shriek.
We will find out if the GOP that won the House in 2010 still has any courage in the next few weeks. But I'm betting on the silk-stocking crowd and the president who sees only his perfect reflection in the mirror. And the debt just keeps on growing.

Ryan Dosier - This past Thursday, February 24th, I had the incredible opportunity to visit Peoria, Illinois. Now, normally, this would be an exceptionally unincredible thing (especially at the end of February on a day when ten inches of snow is predicted), but on February 24th, the one and only Jane Henson, wife of Jim Henson (duh), was making a special appearance at the Lakeview Museum of Arts and Sciences. The Lakeview Museum is currently playing host to the wonderful touring exhibit, Jim Henson's Fantastic World (and will be until May 1st, 2011).
Jane Henson was hanging out in Peoria to present "Look Both Ways," her special presentation that highlights some of Jim Henson's earliest great work, including his early Sesame Street counting shorts, Sam & Friends clips (including "Visual Thinking," "Punsmoke," and Kermit's Interview with Huntley and Brinkley), vintage talk show appearances, and concluding with the entire Timepiece.
Mrs. Henson was a delight throughout. She was charming and funny and sweet during the presentation and screening and even after she was great sport to adoring fans coming up to her after the presentation--including myself. I was lucky enough to get a picture with Mrs. Henson and talk to her for a few minutes thanks to president and chief executive of The Jim Henson Legacy, Arthur Novell, who was also present at the screening and was kind enough to introduce me and Lisa the Intern to Mrs. Henson after the screening.
Oh, right, I forgot to mention, Lisa the Intern was there too! The drive was significantly shorter for her... but I couldn't pass up this opportunity to not only meet Jane Henson, but also meet Lisa the Intern in person for the first time. For those of you who don't know your Muppet Mindset history... Lisa the Intern and I have been online friends and collaborators for nearly six years now, and this past Thursday evening was the first time we had ever met in person. What an event, huh?
Anyhow... if you haven't yet gotten the chance to see Jim Henson's Fantastic World and you live within close proximity to Peoria, Illinois, I can't recommend you going to see this exhibit highly enough. I had not seen the exhibit since it toured in Orlando a few years ago, and I had forgotten how incredible it truly is. There are real Muppets (Kermit, Rowlf, Bert, Ernie, Mahna Mahna, Snowths, King Goshposh, Featherstone, Sir Linit, Wilkins and Wontkins, Gobo Fraggle, Cantus the Minstrel), original Jim Henson sketches, props, photos, and so many other wonderful treasures. It's a glorious celebration of Jim Henson's career and there's no better place for a Muppet fan to visit if you can possibly make the trip.

What is deflatemod?
Deflatemod is a module for Ocsigen that allows you to deflate content, using HTTP/1.1 mechanism. It supports gzip as well as deflate.
What do I need to use deflatemod?
You need the camlzip library by Xavier Leroy and a working Ocsigen installation.
How do I use deflatemod?
First, load the extension in the configuration file:
<extension findlib-package="ocsigenserver.ext.deflatemod" />
Alternatively, if you do not want to use findlib, you need to:
- load camlzip
<extension module="/path/to/camlzip.cma" />
- then load deflatemod
<extension module="/path/to/deflatemod.cmo" />
How do I configure deflatemod?
Again, the options are in ocsigen.conf. You can set a few options globally, in the extension tag:
- the compress level: from 0 (no compression) to 9. The higher, the better compression rate you achieve. Conversely, the lower, the faster it is. Default is 6.
- the buffer size: default is 1024. You shouldn't need to change this one, but you can still try a few other values (any feedback welcomed).
For example:
<extension module="/home/gabriel/ocsigen/extensions/deflatemod.cmo"> <compress level="6" /> <buffer size="1024" /> </extension>
Next, you '''have to''' specify which pages you whish to deflate, in which host/site (otherwise, deflatemod won't compress anything). See next question to do that.
I want to deflate only some files. Is it possible?
To some extent, yes. You can '''exclude''' some files and deflate every other, according to their mime-type or extension (''ie.'' the end of the '''url''' in fact, not really the file name on the disk).
Here is an example:
<host> <site> <!-- ... --> </site> <deflate compress="allbut"> <!-- deflate everything but *.tar.gz files and image/* files --> <extension>.tar.gz</extension> <type>image/*</type> </deflate> </host>
As you can see, you must put the <deflate> tag at the very end of the <host> element. Indeed, Ocsigen deals with extensions sequentially, so if you put <site> or other elements '''after''' <deflatemod>, they won't be compressed.
Conversely, you can choose to deflate '''only''' some files, based on their mime-types or extension:
<host> <site> <!-- ... --> </site> <deflate compress="only"> <!-- deflate only text/html files --> <type>text/html</type> </deflate> </host>
Warning: you can use only one contenttype tag! So you must choose, either the "only" or the "allbut" way.
Limitations: you cannot filter by directory or by filename extension (remember extension is the url's extension). If you really need it, please fill a bug report or send a patch.
Technical questions
How can I choose the content-encoding (gzip or deflate)?
You can't. Deflatemod follows the RFC and chooses automatically the right encoding, based upon Accept-encoding header sent by the client.
Does deflatemod support transfert-encoding?
No, it doesn't. Content-encoding is definitely a better solution, providing end to end compression at the content-level.
How does deflatemod deal with the content-length header?
As it cannot compute the new content-length, deflatemod uses chunked-encoding. This is the recommended way to go.

Chris Walker made his case to be the basketball coach at Texas Tech.
Now it's up to decision-makers in the athletic department to say whether it was enough.
Walker stepped into the role of interim coach in October, shortly before the start of the season, when Billy Gillispie abruptly resigned. The longtime assistant never complained about his predicament, instead stoically leading the Red Raiders through a trying season.
One that ended with a 91-63 loss to No. 7 Kansas on Thursday in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 tournament.
"I've done all I can to make a case," said Walker, who has been told he'll be considered for the full-time job. "The one thing I am very appreciative of is the opportunity I received from the university."
The Red Raiders (11-20) had few moments of joy this season, winning just three games in the league. But one of them was an upset of Iowa State, and Texas Tech managed to upend West Virginia in the opening round of the conference tournament Wednesday night to keep its season alive.
They simply ran into an opponent in Kansas that couldn't be stopped.
Ben McLemore scored 24 points and the Jayhawks (27-5) shot 66 percent from the field (31 of 47), the best mark by any team in a Big 12 tournament game. They also went 9 of 18 from beyond the arc and 20 of 23 from the foul line, putting on a show for a crowd that included new Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith, who sat a few rows behind the Texas Tech bench.
"They stared knocking down shots in the second half. We didn't know down shots," said Dejan Kravic, who led the Red Raiders with 20 points. "We were slow in transition, and that's how they built up their lead."
The Jayhawks, wearing their special, Zubaz-like Adidas uniforms, raced out to a 15-2 lead in the opening minutes, getting into transition and easily taking the ball to the basket.
McLemore, their star freshman, hit a pair of 3-pointers after missing his first nine tries against the Red Raiders during the regular season. He also added a mid-range jumper, a soaring dunk in transition and a couple of free throws before Texas Tech could slow him down.
"Ben helped us out a lot bringing us energy," said the Jayhawks' Jeff Withey.
The Red Raiders stormed back to make it close by halftime.
Kravic, whose buzzer-beating tip-in Wednesday night helped Texas Tech beat West Virginia, followed up a 3-pointer by Jamal Williams by scoring the Red Raiders' next nine points.
His jumper midway through the second half forced Kansas coach Bill Self, his face red with fury, to call a timeout and lay into a starting lineup that includes four seniors.
"We definitely showed that we're fighters," Hannahs said, "and we're going to fight to the end."
The end came after Kansas settled down.
The Jayhawks crept to a 34-25 lead at the break, and after Tolbert hit a couple free throws early in the second half, the Jayhawks ripped off an 18-4 run to put the game away.
It started when McLemore got loose in the corner opposite the Kansas bench and, with a silky smooth stroke, poured in his third 3-pointer of the game. Young added a dunk, Withey scored inside and McLemore hit again from beyond the arc as Walker burned another timeout for Texas Tech.
"It's definitely tough when they get rolling," Kravic said. "It's really hard to stop."
Later in the run, Travis Releford got ahead on a fast break and converted a layup as he was clobbered from behind by the Red Raiders' Josh Gray. The officials ruled it a flagrant foul, and the senior from Kansas City made both of his free throws to give the Jayhawks a 52-31 lead.
The Jayhawks emptied their bench in the closing minutes, the game well in hand, giving their starters the luxury of looking ahead to a semifinal matchup with Iowa State.
In their first memorable game in Lawrence, Kansas needed a buzzer-beating 3-pointer by McLemore just to force overtime. In the return game in Ames, Elijah Johnson scored eight of his career-high 39 points in the final 29 seconds to again force overtime.
That second game was thrown into controversy when officials called a foul on the wrong Kansas player down the stretch, and then failed to call a block-charge call. The game was reviewed by the Big 12 office and the officiating crew was disciplined.
"We've been fortunate," Self said, "but we also had some players step up and make some plays, too. They're very capable of beating anybody and we know we're going to have to step up."

La La La-la La La, Sing a Happy Song
I love television. And not in that drill-a-hole-in-the-side-of-it kind of way. It's just that my life would be worse if I did not have TV.
My freshman year of college, I went without TV for a year. By May, I felt I had gained a lot from not wasting my time in front of a television. Sophomore year, my roommate brought his own TV. By May, I realized how stupid I was for feeling that I had gained a lot from not wasting my time in front of a television.
I'm not one of those people who will schedule his life around a TV show, especially since Seinfeld is only on in syndication. But if I'm around and not doing anything that requires a ton of concentration, I'll turn it on and my life will be better for it.
I like watching Sportscenter as I wake up in the morning, and as I fall asleep at night. The only thing better than new movies on HBO are old ones on Comedy Central, which also shows stand-up comedy for hours at a time. And it's scientifically proven - old episodes of Cheers make food taste better. It's kind of like Adobo that way.
Adobo commercials totally miss their mark. I first heard of Goya (Oh Boya!) when I was seven, but never tasted Adobo until I was in college and someone forcefully put it on my food. I have used it on everything since. Maybe Goya could just drop the commercials and use the money to pay people to knock on your door and sprinkle some Adobo on your dinner.
Some people call television the idiot box, and I think that's true, to a degree. Televsion, like most good products, trusts the consumer to make the right decisions with how to use it. Ice cream is a wonderful product, but I imagine it's not a good paperweight. Similarly, you will fail if you try to use TV as a way to baby-sit your kids or to educate your idiot husband that you only married because you got knocked up in the back of his truck. That was redundant. If you use the phrase "knocked up,†it obviously happened in the back of a truck.
Along with marathons of Twilight Zone and Bill Murray movies, there comes a certain price we have to pay. Like Lifetime, television for people who don't like television. The one good thing Lifetime has going for it is The Golden Girls, which is less a show about four old ladies and more a show about making fun of everyone you don't like.
TV can be the idiot box if you are an idiot, and like to watch other idiots interview more idiots about how their idiot wives cheated on their idiot selves with their idiot brothers (or idiot sisters). But to an educated consumer, television offers bite-sized entertainment, and I do not feel uncultured for enjoying it. Just because a TV set is smaller than a movie screen doesn't make what's on it any less worthwhile. Oooh, maybe I could get a TV set the size of a movie screen. That'd be hot.
I know that I've lost a lot of time watching TV. A kid I went to high school with grew up with no TV and he won the Westinghouse science talent search. But that is him, and I am me. I know that if I didn't have a TV, I would just play more ping pong. Which is what I did all of freshman year.
One of the best shows on TV was Dream On, which was about a guy who thought in old TV clips. That's perfectly accurate for so many of us because TV was our first look at the outside world. "How sad,†you might think. Only if your parents had that look be the wrong shows. My first look at the world was through a hundred little blue men who always triumphed over evil, followed by a bunch of robotic lions that united to destroy a common enemy who was always the same size as all five of them put together. If your kid's first look at the world is two suburban teenagers who like fire, he's going to burn down your house. But if you show him the right stuff first, he'll probably remember the episode where the Smurfs told him not to play with matches.
And perhaps the best thing about TV is that it eliminates poor conversation. If you have something to say, you can shut off the TV and say it. But if you ever need to fill dead air, a little half-hour happiness is much better than prattling on about something useless. If you'd ever like to not talk to me, I'd be glad to come to your place and watch.
Unless your TV has a hole in the side of it. Then I think I'll stay home and play ping pong.

Gatorback Cycle Park in Alachua was supposed to be buzzing this weekend as motocross riders raced through the nearby woods. But Alachua County code violations led the track operation to cancel the competition, upsetting riders and spectators alike who planned to go.
Gatorback Cycle Park in Alachua was supposed to be buzzing this weekend as motocross riders raced through the nearby woods.
But Alachua County code violations led the track operation to cancel the competition, upsetting riders and spectators alike who planned to go.
Big Scrub Trail Riders, a local motocross club within Florida Trail Riders, spent the past few weekends preparing the site, located at 20525 NW 46th Ave., for its annual Hare Scrambles at Gatorback event, which would have run Saturday and Sunday. The competition features a race through the woods that taxes riders' endurance.
But the club learned Friday from Unlimited Sports MX Inc., which operates Gatorback, that the race was canceled. Volunteers spent the weekend clearing its preparations from the site for an event it would no longer host.
Michael Jones, a member of Big Scrub Trail Riders, said the event's cancellation was a loss for the Gainesville area as a whole.
On a good racing weekend, the annual event draws 600 to 700 entries to compete and a total crowd of 1,500 to 2,000. This influx of motocross fans brings money into the local community as people buy dinner, get gas and rent motel rooms.
"Our club is out quite a bit of money," he said of the race's cancellation.
Rick Wolf, assistant director of growth management for Alachua County, said it was Gatorback, not the county, that chose to cancel the event.
According to an email Wolf sent to county staff and commissioners, Wyndell Kern, the owner of Unlimited Sports MX, canceled it so he can "get his house in order" before holding further races there.
The county identified several code violations at a Nov. 20 event at the track, according to the email.
A few days later on Nov. 23, 16-year-old motocross racer Jantz Grodzicki, of San Diego, was in a serious crash while racing at Gatorback during the Thor Winter Olympics, also known as the Mini Olympics, or Mini O's. He later died after he was taken off life support.
The track's violations included unpermitted buildings and obstructed emergency fire lanes, Wolf said in a later interview. The county, which met with Gatorback representatives Friday, offered a choice: Cancel the event or make some adjustments.
Gatorback could host the event if the unpermitted structures were kept off-limits and the fire lanes were left open, Wolf said.
The county met with Gatorback representatives in January and earlier in February, as well as Friday. Staff hoped the property's operators would have already dealt with the violations before this event, Wolf said.
"Our main concern is certainly public safety," he said. "It's my understanding they made the decision, rather than have the potential of more violations, that they were going to get their situation corrected before they did anything more."
To resolve the violations, Gatorback needs to go through the county's land-use and zoning process to expand its permitted uses and either get currently unpermitted structures approved or remove them, he said.
Allen Pearce, the trail boss organizing the event and treasurer of Big Scrub Trail Riders, said people upset by the race's cancellation who emailed the county did not do so at the club's request, but were understandably frustrated.
"We're not trying to create any trouble here," Pearce said. "We don't want to make it worse on the track owner."
The club has presented this particular race for a decade or longer, and it is one of Florida Trail Riders' highest-attended events, he said. Although it will lose some money from the abrupt cancellation, he insisted that money isn't the "motivating force."
About 20 volunteers a day worked for six hours at a time during the past few weekends to clear the racing path, set up markers and prepare for the competition because they love the sport.
"We have a good time doing it, you know, or we wouldn't be out there doing it," he said. The frustration over the event's cancellation isn't about losing money as much as losing an opportunity, he said.
The club hopes to reschedule the event at a different location, most likely in May.
Requests for interviews with Gatorback representatives were not returned by Monday evening.

About NCAA Division III
Colleges and universities in Division III place highest priority on the overall quality of the educational experience and on the successful completion of all students' academic programs. They seek to establish and maintain an environment in which a student-athlete's athletics activities are conducted as an integral part of the student-athlete's educational experience. They also seek to establish and maintain an environment that values cultural diversity and gender equity among their student-athletes and athletics staff.
What does Division III have to offer?
Division III athletics offers student-athletes the opportunity to become well-rounded individuals who successfully integrate athletics and academics. Student-athletes are integrated into the student body, and they experience the full range of college life.
Division III athletics departments place special importance on the impact of athletics on the participants rather than on the spectators. The student-athlete's experience is of paramount concern.
Division III athletics feature athletes who receive no financial aid related to their athletic skills and athletic departments that are staffed and funded like any other department in the university.
Division III athletics encourages the development of sportsmanship and positive social attitudes. Coaches and players treat each other with respect, and administrators work to foster a positive competitive environment.
Division III athletics is committed to providing equitable athletics opportunities for both genders and gives equal emphasis to men's and women's sports.
Division III athletics encourages participation by maximizing the number and variety of athletics opportunities available to student-athletes, placing primary emphasis on regional in-season and conference competition.
Gambling & Sports Wagering
The NCAA is proud of you for becoming a college student-athlete. It is proud of our country's long tradition of college sports. It wants to protect your bright future and the integrity of sports. That's why NCAA rules prohibit sports gambling of any kind by college student-athletes, coaches, trainers or anyone else involved with college sports.
As a college student-athlete, you must follow the rules of the NCAA. One of the rules, NCAA Bylaw 10.3, specifically prohibits sports gambling.
In clear, simple language, here's what the rule means:
You may not place any bet of any sort on any college or professional sports event.
You may not give information to anyone who does place bets on college or professional sports.
That means...
- NO wagers for any item (e.g., cash, shirt, dinner) on ANY professional or college sports event, even those that don't involve your college.
- NO sports "pools," even those run by your friends in the dorm.
- NO Internet gambling on sports events.
- NO fantasy leagues that award a prize and require a fee to participate.
- NO sports wagering using "800" numbers.
- NO exchange of information about your team with ANYONE who gambles. In other words, no information about injuries, new plays, team morale, discipline problems, or anything else.
NCAA rules are clear. The minute you are discovered to have made a bet of any kind on any college or professional sport ...Or to have given information to someone who does gamble ...
You are declared ineligible to compete in college sports. You are off the team.
If you accept or place a bet on any college or professional team other than your own, you will automatically be suspended for a minimum of one year and be charged with a season of competition.
If you accept or place a bet on any team at your school, you will be permanently ineligible. You risk losing your sports scholarship, being expelled from the school altogether, and/or being banned from other college and professional sports.
You also run the risk of being arrested and charged with a crime. That's because sports wagering is illegal in every state except Nevada. Sports bribery is illegal in every state. And even in Nevada, it is against NCAA rules for a student-athlete to make any wager on a sports event.
Benefits & Boosters
Receipt by a student-athlete of an award, benefit or expense allowance not authorized by NCAA legislation renders the student-athlete ineligible to compete while representing the institution in the sport for which the improper award, benefit or expense was received. If the student-athlete receives an extra benefit not authorized by NCAA legislation or an improper award or expense allowance in conjunction with competition that involves the use of overall athletics skill (e.g., "superstars" competition), the individual is ineligible in all sports.
An extra benefit is any special arrangement by an institutional employee or athletics representative to provide a student-athlete (or his/her relatives, guardian or friends) a benefit not expressly authorized by NCAA legislation.
A booster or representative of Franklin & Marshall's athletic interests should never offer, nor should a Franklin & Marshall student-athlete accept:
- Cash or loans in any amount
- Co-signing or arranging a loan
- Gifts or free services (e.g., airline tickets, cash, restaurant meals)
- Use of an automobile
- Rent free or reduced cost housing
- Money for, or a guarantee of, bail or bond
- Employment of a student-athlete at a higher rate than the wages paid for similar work
- Payment to a student-athlete for work not performed
- Transportation (aside from transportation related to an occasional home meal)
- Tickets to an athletics, institutional or community event
- Financial aid for a post-graduate education
- Promise of employment after college graduation
- Invitations to your home or summer home for purposes other than an occasional meal

RENO, Nev. - The children of an abusive woman whose horror stories prompted Nevada to become one of the first states to allow children to sever parental ties wrote a scathing obituary published in the local newspaper - and since has become an Internet sensation.
The obituary opened with a harsh statement about the legacy of Marianne Theresa Johnson-Reddick: "On behalf of her children who she abrasively exposed to her evil and violent life, we celebrate her passing from this earth and hope she lives in the after-life reliving each gesture of violence, cruelty and shame that she delivered on her children."
Katherine Reddick said she wrote it about her mother, who died at a Reno nursing home Aug. 30 at the age of 78.
Now a psychology consultant for a school district outside Austin, Texas, she said she decided to share the story of their painful physical and mental abuse after consulting with her brother, Patrick Reddick. They said they grew up with four siblings in a Carson City orphanage after they were removed from their mother's home and had been estranged from her for more than 30 years.
"Everyone she met, adult or child, was tortured by her cruelty and exposure to violence, criminal activity, vulgarity and hatred of the gentle or kind human spirit," the obit said. "Our greatest wish now is to stimulate a national movement that mandates a purposeful and dedicated war against child abuse in the United States of America."
Six of Johnson-Reddick's eight children were admitted to the Nevada Children's Home from 1963 to 1964 after they endured regular beatings, sometimes with a metal-tipped belt, and other abuse at the hands of their mother, Patrick Reddick said.
Patrick Reddick said he's had phone calls from "all over the world" after his mother's obituary went viral.
"Everything in there was completely true," the Minden, Nev., man told the Associated Press on Thursday, describing her as a "wicked, wicked witch." ��The main purpose for putting it in there was to bring awareness to the child abuse. And shame her a little bit."
Patrick Reddick, 58, said he last saw his mother more than three decades ago.
Reddick and his sister, now 57, testified before the 1987 Legislature on bills to make courts give equal consideration to the best interest of a child when terminating parental rights.
Former state Sen. Sue Wagner, who authored the legislation that ultimately was signed into law, remembers meeting with them at the time. She said it was one of the reasons Nevada became one of the few states to address the issue at the time.
The obituary was printed in Tuesday's editions of the Reno Gazette-Journal and appeared on RGJ.com after it was submitted through a self-service online portal.
John Maher, president and publisher of the newspaper, said in a "note to readers" the paper had "removed the online listing of this obituary as we continue our review of the circumstances surrounding its placement."
Little else is known about the woman. The Reno newspaper reported she lived in a mobile home with 15 cats up until she was hospitalized in May for treatment of bladder cancer.

How can we reduce the emissions from the more than 600 coal-fired electric plants in the United States? One method is to try to capture the carbon dioxide emitted by the plants before it enters the atmosphere and then sequester it underground. A new technology designed to do just that went into operation in June 2011 and captured its 100,000th ton of CO2 this fall, according to a report from Power Engineering magazine.
The technology is being used at Alabama Power's James M. Barry Electric Generating Plant near the city of Mobile. Alabama Power is a subsidiary of Southern Company, which partnered with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) to implement the carbon-capture technology. (Southern Company is a sponsor of Mother Nature Network.)
The project got its start back in 2009 when the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) invested $979 million in three carbon capture projects, including Plant Barry and other projects in West Virginia and Texas. The total cost for all three projects was projected at the time to be $3 billion, two-thirds of which would come from the power industry. Some of the DOE's funds were provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
When it was announced, the DOE provided this description of the Plant Barry operation: "Southern Company Services will retrofit a CO2 capture plant on a 160-MW flue gas stream at an existing coal-fired power plant... The captured carbon will be compressed and transported through a pipeline, and up to one million metric tons per year of carbon will be sequestered in deep saline formations. Southern Company Services will also explore and use potential opportunities for beneficial use of the carbon for enhanced oil recovery."
After more than a year of testing, the plant began sequestering carbon underground on August 20 of this year. A press release at the time from MHI called this "an important milestone in the world's first integrated carbon capture and sequestration project for flue gas from a coal-fired power plant — which contains significant quantities of impurity — on a scale of 500 metric tons per day."
The CO2 captured from the plant is captured, compressed, and then sequestered "in a saline formation at a depth of 3,000-3,400 meters in the Citronelle Dome geologic structure, which is approximately 12 miles west from the plant."
"Energy innovation projects like this are critical to providing meaningful solutions for our energy future," Chris Hobson, Southern Company chief environmental officer told Power Engineering magazine in November. "The work we are doing with our partners at Plant Barry to reduce greenhouse gas emissions reflects our commitment to lead the industry with a robust research and development portfolio."
Although it is still billed as a "demonstration project," the technology employed at Plant Barry could be implemented in other locations once the test period for the technology is completed, according to MHI and Southern Company.

It's true. Obama doesn't want America to be innovative. He doesn't want American's inventing anything that would make the world a better place to leave. He wants the American worker to be exceptional on the assembly line working mindlessly through the day for a government paycheck.
I write this because his highest priority for Americans is to find them manufacturing jobs. The first question of the second Presidential Debate with Obama and Romney at Hofstra University focused on guaranteeing college graduates a job. The question in itself is troubling because the question may represent the common thought that American's should not be responsible for their own paychecks.
Here's the question and Obama's response. Transcript here.
Jeremy (audience question)
What can you say to reassure me, but more importantly my parents, that I will be able to sufficiently support myself after I graduate?
Number one, I want to build manufacturing jobs in this country again. Now when Governor Romney said we should let Detroit go bankrupt. I said we're going to bet on American workers and the American auto industry and it's come surging back.
Some itemized thoughts:
- Paychecks and jobs are in the circle of personal responsibility
- If Obama "builds" a job then that means the government owns that job and the employees are government employees.
- Manufacturing jobs are mostly assembly line jobs
- Assembly line jobs do not require much education
- The world today doesn't strive and flourish on manufacturing jobs
- Obama wants to bring back an industry that has failed because it isn't needed any longer
- Obama must invest with tax payer monies to create a job that will not make a profit
- The employees for this manufacturing job will soon become unemployed
- Unemployment benefits will go up.
What are your thoughts?
