No crying in baseball?
It was a picture perfect day for a ball game. Clear blue sky, a bright yellow sun shining on a beautiful green grass playing field. A breeze put all pennants and flags at Citizens Bank Park on full display.
But, baseball games don't begin as the sun rises in the east. The most telling sign was an empty field, except for a white coffin stationed on the grass behind home plate.
This was the day nearly 9,000 fans paid their respects during an emotional memorial tribute to Harry Kalas. Ever since 1971, this man was the voice of our pre- and post-game tributes. This time, he was the subject. Hard to believe.
It was only ten days ago that Harry threw out the first ball prior to the World Series ring ceremony. He was on the mound then. Hard to believe.
We announced that the Third Base Gate would open at 8 in the morning. Because of the large crowd that lined Citizens Bank Way, we started 30 minutes earlier. David Montgomery and Bill Giles greeted each fan for nearly four hours.
Fans entered the field from the third base side and exited through the first base side. Some left the park. Most stayed and spent hours waiting for the program to begin at 1 in the afternoon.
Mark Such, 45, from Bucks County, spent the night at the Third Base Gate. He camped out at 9:30 Friday night. Second in line was another 45-year-old fan, Michael Aldridge of Blackwood, NJ. He befriended Mark at midnight.
Both assisted our operations crew set up police barricades for fan control as daylight began to replace darkness. Our Mike DiMuzio thanked each. Mark and Michael each replied, "No, no. Thank you, for honoring Harry."
Michael carried a sign, "No crying in baseball until now." Yes, there was crying in baseball today. Tears were the norm rather than the exception. We should have had Kleenex sponsor the day.
At the entrance and exit, fans were welcomed to sign registers. One 6-year-old boy wrote, "We love you Harry, from State Street in Media." Harry resided in that Delaware County town.
As each fan passed the coffin, he or she touched the casket, including our Alumni. The last group to pay its respect was the 2009 team. One-by-one, they entered the field from their dugout wearing their game uniforms and touched Harry one last time, a very emotional scene that drew one of many standing ovations during the two-hour ceremonies.
Alumni included Dick Allen, Ruben Amaro Jr., Ricky Bottalico, Marty Bystrom, Steve Carlton, Larry Christenson, Darren Daulton, Dallas Green, Tommy Greene, Terry Harmon, John Kruk, Greg Luzinski, Garry Maddox, Jerry Martin, Dickie Noles, Robin Roberts, Mike Rogodzinski, Mike Schmidt, Kent Tekulve, David West, Mitch Williams and Bobby Wine. Notice, the list spanned decades, as did Harry.
Eight speakers addressed the crowd, the last being 19-year-old Kane Kalas, Harry's youngest son who delighted the Friday night crowd with a stirring performance of the National Anthem. He was equally impressive today, speaking without a written or typed note.
Other speakers included Richard Ashburn, Joe O'Loughlin, representing the fans; Montgomery, Governor Rendell, Mayor Nutter, NFL Films President Steve Sabol, Jamie Moyer and Schmidt.
Ironically, one of Harry's greatest calls was Schmidt's 500th home. That took place 22 years ago on this date.
Led by Giles, who brought Harry to Philadelphia in 1971, current and past players, current and past broadcasters and those of us who traveled with him through the years, formed two lines. His coffin was passed through the two lines and then placed in a hearse. It was our last chance to touch the man who touched so many.
He left the park for the last time through the exit in the right field corner. All the while, Simon & Garfunkle's "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" played on the PA system. Sons Todd and Brad introduced the song in a taped video, "Dad wanted this song to be played as he went to his final reward." I lost it.
A lot has been said and written about Harry since his death on Monday. Doug Glanville, a guest columnist in the New York Times ended his brilliant article on Wednesday, "A picture may be worth a thousand words, but a word from Harry Kalas painted a thousand pictures,"
It sure did.

Boom Goes the Dynamite: NCAA Tournament Day TwoPosted by nvr1983 on March 19th, 2009
We'd like to apologize for our coverage yesterday. We had some technical/communication issues regarding the post yesterday, but I'll be back covering the games today so everything should be back to normal. Here's a quick rundown of the games we'll be covering today:
Early Games
- 12:15 PM: #14 Stephen F. Austin vs. #3 Syracuse
- 12:25 PM: #9 Tennessee vs. #8 Oklahoma State
- 12:30 PM: #11 Utah State vs. #6 Marquette
- 12:30 PM: #14 North Dakota State vs. #3 Kansas
Afternoon Games
- 2:45 PM: #11 Temple vs. #6 Arizona State
- 2:55 PM: #16 East Tennessee State vs. #1 Pittsburgh

- 9:50 PM: #15 Robert Morris vs. #2 Michigan State
- 9:55 PM: #12 Wisconsin vs. #5 Florida State
Quite frankly, today's slate looks a lot more interesting than what was on yesterday. There are 3 games in each of the 4 groups that seem like they will be entertaining except for the afternoon set where only the 6/11 match-ups really catch my eyes. Feel free to leave your thoughts or questions on any of these games or the ones from yesterday in the comment section. I'll be back around noon to cover the day's action.
12:15 PM: Ok. We're about to get underway. I was a little delayed by the fact that the bus to RTC East decided to pick up 3 people in wheelchairs, which slowed down my trip significantly (had to get them in/out during 6 stops). Is anybody rooting for Stephen F. Austin just because they can't stand Eric Devendorf?
12:20 PM: "The best look the Lumberjacks have had so far"? That was only their 2nd possession of the game. The crows is awful in Miami. I know its early, but there is nobody there. I have to say the NCAA did a pretty poor job with their pod placement. I'll have to double check, but Miami is probably the worst pod location in terms of distance from the participating schools (and the fact that they don't care about sports in Miami).
12:30 PM: Rough start for Stephen F. Austin in Miami. Already down 10-2. Hopefully they can keep it close although this was probably the game that was the most likely to be a blowout in this group.
12:35 PM: Did anybody pick upsets in this group of games? I have North Dakota State and Utah State.
12:40 PM: Good game in Dayton (Ok State 14, Tennessee 13 with 12:20 left in the first half). In Boise, Lazar Hayward is up 7-5 on Utah State.

The Army psychiatrist charged in the deadly 2009 Fort Hood shooting rampage is to go on trial in three months, after several delays in the case, including an unexpected snag over his beard.
A military judge Thursday set Maj. Nidal Hasan's court-martial for May 29 at the Texas Army post. After about four weeks of jury selection, testimony is to begin July 1.
The judge, Col. Tara Osborn, said she expects testimony in the trial to last up to three months. The government has nearly 300 witnesses.
Hasan, 42, faces the death penalty or life without parole if convicted of 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder in the worst mass shooting on a U.S. military installation.
Hasan's trial initially was set for last March, then delayed to June and then to August after defense attorneys said they needed more time to prepare. Less than a week before it was to start, the trial unexpectedly was put on hold when Hasan appealed an order by then-judge Col. Gregory Gross that his beard would be forcibly shaved unless he removed it before trial. Although facial hair violates Army rules, Hasan started growing a beard last summer, saying it was required by his Muslim faith.
Hasan appealed again in September after Gross issued a definitive, written order for the forced shaving. Proceedings resumed in December after the appeals court ousted Gross from the case and threw out his order.
Osborn, the new judge, won't order Hasan to shave. If he still has a beard at trial, jurors likely would be told not to consider his appearance when deciding on a verdict.
Osborn didn't rule Thursday on defense requests to select jurors from another military branch instead of the Army - an unprecedented action for a court-martial - or to move the trial away from Fort Hood.
Lt. Col. Kris Poppe, lead defense attorney, said his client could not get a fair trial at Fort Hood because of rampant hostility, such as the extreme security measures that seem to indicate Hasan is a target or is dangerous. He also said jurors should come from the Navy or Air Force because Army officers had been exposed to more pretrial publicity about the case.
But prosecutors said extra security would be in place no matter where the trial was held because it was such a high-profile case. They also said only 20 of the 140 potential jurors were from Fort Hood.
About 40 percent of the group asked to be recused in jury questionnaires, and only 99 would-be jurors remain, prosecutors said.
Osborn told prosecutors and defense attorneys to submit written opinions on whether Hasan can plead guilty to his current charges or to lesser charges of unpremeditated murder, which do not carry the death penalty.
Army rules prohibit a judge from accepting a guilty plea in a death penalty case. However, defense attorneys have said Hasan wants to plead guilty to accept responsibility.
Even if Hasan were to plead guilty to lesser charges of unpremeditated murder, prosecutors would proceed with the trial on the premeditated murder charges. Military law experts say Hasan's plea would be a strategy to try to avoid execution by seeming sympathetic to jurors.

Revision as of 23:42, 22 September 2014
A liberal is someone who supports liberalism, which is a political philosophy on the left of the political spectrum. Liberals favor an increase in government spending, power, and control, as in ObamaCare. Most liberals also support the censorship and denial of Christianity because of its strong moral values[1]. Liberals who are a part of the secular left prefer the atheist religion over the Christian faith, as atheism has no objective morality to hinder their big government plans. This lack of an objective morality, or moral relativism, was used as one of the main justifications for crimes against humanity by the Nazis and the Communists, both of whom were liberal. Increasingly, liberals side with the homosexual agenda, including supporting homosexual "marriage". Most[2] liberals favor a welfare state where people receive endless entitlements without working. Liberals are often anti-Christian, or otherwise disagree with moral or social principles held by many American Christians. The liberal ideology has worsened over the years and degenerated into economically unsound views and intolerant ideology. Most liberals simply support, in knee-jerk fashion, the opposite of conservative principles, while lacking an actual ideology or values of their own.
Polling data has consistently shown that a increasingly large percentage of Americans identify as conservative, rather than as liberal, currently by 38% to 21%.[3]
A liberal supports many of the following political positions and practices:
- Spending money on government programs (the significant economic problems in the Eurozone due to government debt will no doubt increasingly discredit this aspect of liberal ideology and make things more difficult for advocates of liberal economic ideologies)
- Denial of science[4] (especially creation science)
- Government's ability to solve economic problems[5]
- The belief that terrorism is not a huge threat, and that the main reason for Muslim extremists' hostility towards America is because of bad foreign policy [6]
- Brainwashing voters with propaganda
- Taxpayer-funded and/or legalized abortion
- Censorship[7]
- Socialism[8]
- Unsuccessful Keynesian economics as opposed to sound free market economics
- Cessation of teacher-led prayer in classrooms and school/state-sponsored religious events.
- Gun control
- Elitism
- Pseudo-intellectualism[9]
- Anti-Americanism
- Affirmative action[10]
- Opposition to government regulation or restriction of obscenity, pornography and violence in video games as a First Amendment right[11]
- Authoritarian government[12]
- Government-funded medical care, such as Obamacare
- Belief in evolution
- Destroying the Christian foundations on which America was built on.
- Taxpayer-funded and government-controlled public education
- Limiting personal freedom[13]. Liberal support for gun control is an example of this.
- High progressive taxes[14] as a form of class warfare against wealthy business owners[15].
- Placement of men and women in the same jobs in the military
- Slowly eroding the U.S. through Progressivism.[16]
- Legalized same-sex marriage and homosexual adoption
- Tax and spend economics
- Rejection of Biblical standards
- Economic sector regulations[17]
- Denial of conservative roles in history. For example, liberals frequently claim[18] that George Washington was a deist when he was actually a devout Episcopalian.
- Spreading of political correctness
- Destroying liberty
- Ending Western morality
- Non-syndicalist labor unions
- Encouraging promiscuity through sexual education (the teaching of safe sex) rather than teaching abstinence from premarital sex[19]
- A "living Constitution" that is reinterpreted as liberals prefer, rather than how it is thought to have been intended.
- Government programs to rehabilitate criminals
- Bestiality as a human right[20]
- Abolition of the death penalty
- Environmentalism[21]
- Globalism
- Constitutionally mandated separation of church and state.
- Opposition to full private property rights.[22]
- Reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine
- Opposition to domestic wire-tapping as authorized in the Patriot Act
- Regulation of business rather than a laissez-faire capitalist economy
- Opposition to the Constitution. Liberals seek to expand federal power at the expense of local government and silence the conservatives who hold them back, violating the 10th and 1st Amendments respectively.
- Denial of traditional gender roles
- Support of financially irresponsible policies
- Advocating policies which are proven to be incorrect
- Destroying conservative family values and replacing them with immoral Hollywood values, such as drug use, narcissism, and abortion
- Encouragement of global warming alarmism
- Rejection of logical[23] standards
- Persecution of Christianity with deference to other religions, such as Islam.
Liberals currently use two Clauses of the Constitution to try to expand their power: the Commerce Clause and the General Welfare Clause. The General Welfare Clause mentions "promoting the general welfare". This to a liberal means taxing the rich at increased rates and redistributing that money. The Commerce Clause, on the other hand, says that Congress has the power to regulate trade with foreign nations, between the states and with the Indian tribes. Since the days of FDR this Clause has been interpreted very loosely and has resulted in the federal government expanding its power. The latest example is The Affordable Care Act (ACA), better know as Obamacare. In the ACA, the liberals justify the individual mandate by saying it regulates commerce between the states.
The decline in liberal principles can be illustrated by how Franklin Delano Roosevelt opposed and condemned public sector unions, stating that the idea of collective bargaining can't be transferred from the private to the public sector, as that would result in the government being unable to carry out its duties. Yet today, decades later, Democrats and liberals are in lock-step with public sector unions, as they "donate" money to the reelection campaign in exchange for more taxpayer money in their wallets and fluffed up pensions.
Current dictionaries describe the liberal ideology by pretending that a liberal is "a person who favors a political philosophy of progress and reform and the protection of civil liberties" or "a person who favors an economic theory of laissez-faire and self-regulating markets,"[24] or "open-minded or tolerant, especially free of or not bound by traditional or conventional ideas, values, etc." or "favorable to or in accord with concepts of maximum individual freedom possible, especially as guaranteed by law and secured by governmental protection of civil liberties."[25] In practical usage, the term "liberal" is more closely synonymous with "radical," "immoral," "anti-freedom," "elitist," or "bad."

Liberals and Uncharitableness
For more information please see: Liberals and uncharitableness and Atheism and charity
In March of 2008, George Will wrote at RealClearPolitics concerning the United States:
| Sixteen months ago, Arthur C. Brooks, a professor at Syracuse University, published "Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism." The surprise is that liberals are markedly less charitable than conservatives....
If many conservatives are liberals who have been mugged by reality, Brooks, a registered independent, is, as a reviewer of his book said, a social scientist who has been mugged by data. They include these findings:
-- Although liberal families' incomes average 6 percent higher than those of conservative families, conservative-headed households give, on average, 30 percent more to charity than the average liberal-headed household ($1,600 per year vs. $1,227).
-- Conservatives also donate more time and give more blood.[27]
Atheists and agnostics often reject Biblical morality (and therefore conservative Christianity ) and hold to moral relativism.[28] Therefore, it is not surprising that per capita atheists and agnostics in America give significantly less to charity than theists even when church giving is not counted for theists.[8][9][10]
Liberal politicians and uncharitableness
The political magazine the American Spectator featured an article which focused on liberal politicians and uncharitableness exposing the hypocrisy of the liberal politicians it featured.[29]
In addition, Barack Obama has been criticized concerning his lack of charitable giving.
Liberal Christianity and marital infidelity
See also: Liberal Christianity and marital infidelity and Liberal Christianity
According to a 2007 study reported in the Journal of Family Issues, adherents of liberal Christianity are more likely to engage in marital infidelity than theologically conservative Christians.[30]
As noted above, liberals are more likely to adhere to evolutionary belief than conservatives. A study conducted by the Australian National University, revealed that belief in evolution is associated with moral permissiveness.[31]
Liberalism and bestiality
See also: Liberalism and bestiality
Bestiality is the act of engaging in sexual relations with an animal. The atheist philosopher Peter Singer defends the practice of bestiality (as well as abortion, infanticide and euthanasia)[33]. Despite holding these immoral views the liberal and pro-evolution academic establishment rewarded his views with a bioethics chair at Princeton University (Princeton University is a very liberal school - see: Liberalism and bestiality).[34] Peter Singer was installed as the Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics at the University Center for Human Values at Princeton University in 1999 and in 2006 it was reported that he still worked part-time in that capacity. [35] In 2006, it was also reported that Singer worked part-time as Laureate Professor at the University of Melbourne in the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics since 2005.[36]
Joe Carter's First Things article entitled The Dangerous Mind declares concerning Peter Singer declared:
|Singer has spent a lifetime justifying the unjustifiable. He is the founding father of the animal liberation movement and advocates ending "the present speciesist bias against taking seriously the interests of nonhuman animals." He is also a defender of killing the aged (if they have dementia), newborns (for almost any reason until they are two years old), necrophilia (assuming it's consensual), and bestiality (also assuming it's consensual).[37]
On October 5, 2011, the British newspaper The Telegraph wrote an article which discussed how homosexuality "rights" have emboldened individuals to ask for so called bestiality "rights" (see: Homosexuality and bestiality).[38]
In 2010, the liberal state of Washington has the highest number of reported cases of bestiality in the United States even though it was merely the 13th most populous state according to the 2010 United States census. (for more information please see: Washington state and bestiality).[39][40][41]
In 2005, four legislators in the liberal state of Massachusetts tried to soften its bestiality laws.[42]
The Bible says that bestiality is a perversion and, under the Old Testament Jewish Law, punishable by death (Exodus 22:19, Leviticus 18:23, Leviticus 20:15 and Deuteronomy 27:21). The atheistic worldview does not lend itself to the establishment of morality within society and individuals (see: Atheism and morality and Atheism and deception). The atheistic worldview does not lend itself to the establishment of morality within society and individuals (see: Atheism and morality and Atheism and deception).
A study found that "Psychiatric patients were found to have a statistically significant higher prevalence rate (55%) of bestiality than the control groups (10% and 15% respectively)."[44] The atheist population has a higher suicide rate and lower marriage rates than the general population (see: Atheism and suicide and Atheism and marriageability and Atheism and health). However, these are anecdotes and may not represent the liberal group as a whole as there is little (if any) research or statistical data available as of 2014.

Occupy Wall Street and bestiality chant
See also: Occupy Wall Street and bestiality chant
Bestiality is the act of engaging in sexual relations with an animal. A crowd at Occupy Wall Street was led to repeat various chants which included a chant involving bestiality and the incident was videotaped.[45]
Below is an excerpt of the chant:
|Everything seems to be possible. [Crowd Parrot Chant] You can travel to the moon. [CPC] You can become immortal [CPC] by biogenetics. You can have sex with animals, or whatever. [CPC].[46]
Liberals and Superstition
The Wall Street Journal reported: "A comprehensive new study released by Baylor University, shows that traditional Christian religion greatly decreases belief in everything from the efficacy of palm readers to the usefulness of astrology. [47]
Also, in September of 2008, the Wall Street Journal reported:
| The reality is that the New Atheist campaign, by discouraging religion, won't create a new group of intelligent, skeptical, enlightened beings. Far from it: It might actually encourage new levels of mass superstition. And that's not a conclusion to take on faith — it's what the empirical data tell us.
"What Americans Really Believe," a comprehensive new study released by Baylor University yesterday, shows that traditional Christian religion greatly decreases belief in everything from the efficacy of palm readers to the usefulness of astrology. It also shows that the irreligious and the members of more liberal Protestant denominations, far from being resistant to superstition, tend to be much more likely to believe in the paranormal and in pseudoscience, such as evolution than evangelical Christians....
This is not a new finding. In his 1983 book "The Whys of a Philosophical Scrivener," skeptic and science writer Martin Gardner cited the decline of traditional religious belief among the better educated as one of the causes for an increase in pseudoscience, cults and superstition. He referenced a 1980 study published in the magazine Skeptical Inquirer that showed irreligious college students to be by far the most likely to embrace paranormal beliefs, while born-again Christian college students were the least likely.[48]
Liberalism in the United States Today
Democrats and most media outlets in the U.S. are blatantly liberal.[49] Liberalism in North America today practices three primary tactics to attack the Republican Party, and sometimes to attack American values in general. These three liberal tactics can be pronounced using the following acronym: SIN. Liberals (1) shift the subject, they (2) ignore the facts, and they (3) name call.[50][51]
- Liberals claimed a monopoly on compassion, decency, and social justice (as defined by themselves), posing as the sole defenders of civic virtue against a horde of backwoodsmen, racists, and religious fanatics. [11]
|There's another goal, from my point of view, which is to try to lay the groundwork for a radical political force which would conceive of itself as distinctly to the left of moderate, reformist American liberals. And that has two aspects. One is to try to change that liberalism, to transform it by analysis, critique, and activism; the second is to build a radical movement which would be an autonomous force in its own right, which would be distinct from the traditional American liberal consensus. This radical part of the program involves not simply supporting the liberal students against conservative students and conservative professors, but trying to act on them, to push them to the left. It also involves trying to find and support, even trying to help create, networks of radical students in law school and of radical professors around the country — students and teachers who see themselves as wanting to go a lot further than most people want to go. [53]
Liberal Rankings of Congress Members
The National Journal compiles the votes of each congress member each year and uses the information to create rankings[54] of how liberal each member of the United States Congress is. In addition to showing the voting records of each member and given an overall all ranking of liberalness, the National Journal also ranks congress members by liberalness in the areas of social, economic, and foreign policy.
American liberalism, demographics and expected tipping point in the decline of American liberalism
See also: American atheism and Decline of atheism and Global atheism
Due to the explosive growth of global Christianity in traditional cultures and their influence on Western Christianity and the higher birth rate of conservative Christians and religious conservatives, social conservatism is expected to rise.
The Birkbeck College, University of London professor Eric Kaufman wrote in his 2010 book Shall the Righteous Inherit the Earth? concerning America:
|High evangelical fertility rates more than compensated for losses to liberal Protestant sects during the twentieth century. In recent decades, white secularism has surged, but Latino and Asian religious immigration has taken up the slack, keeping secularism at bay. Across denominations, the fertility advantage of religious fundamentalists of all colours is significant and growing. After 2020, their demographic weight will to tip the balance in the culture wars towards the conservative side, ramping up pressure on hot-button issues such as abortion. By the end of the century, three quarters of America may be pro-life. Their activism will leap over the borders of the 'Redeemer Nation' to evangelize the world. Already, the rise of the World Congress of Families has launched a global religious right, its arms stretching across the bloody lines of the War on Terror to embrace the entire Abrahamic family.[55]
Liberalism in Europe today
In Europe, on the other hand, parties that call themselves liberal are moderate in outlook, ranging from centre-left to centre-right, promote typically economic and business freedom. The Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe[56] is a party of the European Parliament that represents most liberal parties from European countries. Similar policies are promoted by many liberal parties throughout the world,[57] such as the Liberal Party of Australia.[58]
Trade unions and socialist parties often criticize politicians for promoting lower taxes on business, or more flexible hiring and firing laws, by calling them "liberals" or neoliberals. Thus, just as in the US, "liberal" may occasionally be used as a term of abuse. But when someone is called "liberal" in Europe, it has an entirely different meaning than in the US. In fact, the US meaning of liberal is more similar to the politics of European socialist or social democratic parties.[59]
Historical Liberalism
In history, the word "liberal" has meant different things at different times, and was associated with individual liberty in prior centuries. In the postwar period, liberals supported government intervention in the economy and welfare state policies, as well as peaceful coexistence with the communist block, which are not liberal policies in the sense of classical liberalism. After the end of the cold war, with the demise of socialism and communism, many liberals embraced some ideas from economic neo-liberalism, and coined it the "Third Way". In the area of national security and foreign policy liberals in the U.S. failed to define a consistent stance, even after the events of 9/11 and the beginning of the war in Iraq. Liberals generally support affirmative action, gay marriage, and abortion.[60]
Original meaning: Classical Liberalism
Liberalism is a political philosophy with freedom as its core value. The term was originally applied to supporters of individual liberties and equal rights, but, in America, the term has come to represent a movement of social change that often conflicts with conservative values such as moral values and traditions derived from Northern European Protestantism.
See Classical Liberalism. Compare Libertarianism.

Quotes on Liberals
"I never use the words Democrats and Republicans. It's liberals and Americans." -James Watt, Secretary of the Interior under Ronald Reagan
"The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so." -Ronald Reagan
"Liberals see racism where it doesn't exist, fabricate it when they can't find it and ignore it within their own ranks." ―Michelle Malkin
"Words mean nothing to liberals. They say whatever will help advance their cause at the moment, switch talking points in a heartbeat, and then act indignant if anyone uses the exact same argument they were using five minutes ago." -Ann Coulter[64]
"The reason any conservative's failing is always major news is that it allows liberals to engage in their very favorite taunt: Hypocrisy! Hypocrisy is the only sin that really inflames them. Inasmuch as liberals have no morals, they can sit back and criticize other people for failing to meet the standards that liberals simply renounce. It's an intriguing strategy. By openly admitting to being philanderers, draft dodgers, liars, weasels and cowards, liberals avoid ever being hypocrites." -Ann Coulter
"If you can somehow force a liberal into a point-counterpoint argument, his retorts will bear no relation to what you've said -- unless you were in fact talking about your looks, your age, your weight, your personal obsessions, or whether you are a fascist. In the famous liberal two-step, they leap from one idiotic point to the next, so you can never nail them. It's like arguing with someone with Attention Deficit Disorder." -Ann Coulter
"Inside many liberals is a totalitarian screaming to get out. They don't like to have another point of view in the room that they don't squash and the way they try to squash it is by character assassination and name calling." -David Horowitz
"End results that work that don't involve government threaten liberals." -Rush Limbaugh
Quotes by Liberals
"The number one job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S." -Joe Biden

"Romney wants to give EIGHT HUNDRED MILLION BILLION in tax breaks to the rich." -Joe Biden

"Isn't it a little racist to call it Black Friday?" -Joy Behar

"The center of the earth is about a million degrees." -Al Gore
"A zebra does not change its spots." -Al Gore

So worried about leaving 3 month oldSubscribe
I have to go back to work in 2 weeks and leave my 3 month old daughter in daycare. I find myself crying a lot as I am so sad and worried. Has anyone had experience leaving a 3 month old in daycare?Flag as inappropriate Posted by Glaubfish on Wednesday
i started my 11 week old in daycare yesterday and its the hardest thing I ever did. I know they let her cry but only for a little bit but it makes me so very sad. Everyone tells me it takes a few week sfor them to adjust but i just wan tot take her out but I love my job and I really want to work. Dont' know what I should do. I guess am in the same boat as yours.Flag as inappropriate Posted by Amina on 14th November 2012
It is so tough. My oldest son who is 9 went into daycare at 8 weeks... with a friend. I nursed him and he wouldn't take the bottle all day, maybe one ounce. We worked our way through it but I felt awful. No matter what, everyone will survive. It's hard to find that balance, and it's great that you love your job. Is there anyway to be able to go to part time in part time home schedule? That's what I did with my second son. By my third son it was two much to handle and I started working exclusively out of my home. I'm not sure if that was much help but you aren't alone

text: Scandal went from being a bubble show in season one to a big hit in season two. Tonight, it returns for its third season. Season two ended with several huge cliffhangers. The serialized show has been rerunning on BET all summer to potentially give new viewers a chance to catch up the way they do on Netflix for cable programs between seasons. ABC has done a lot of promotion and the legions of fans who have made the show a social media sensation have been hitting Twitter hard for weeks to make sure everyone on earth knows about it. Will all the hype pay off with a big premiere number? Last year, season two opened with a 2.1 adults 18-49 rating. The season two finale garnered a 3.2 adults 18-49 rating, growing over its Grey's Anatomy lead-in. So how do you think it will fare tonight? Make your predictions below then discuss your reasoning in the comments.

Beauty begins from the finger tips. If your nails are bitten and not neat, perfect beauty is impossible.
But the only thing that was always out of question – beauty has always been associated with health. It is impossible to be beautiful and pretty if you are ill or feel blue.
Healthy hair, healthy skin, good mood, healthy nails, and a cheerful face has been appealing in all ages and still it is the greatest part of Beauty.
But healthy nails are not enough. Today they prefer long and strangely shaped nails that are not always possible. That is why artificial nails have become so popular.
In general, artificial nails can protect your nails from the harmful affect of the environment, but generally the main aim of artificial nails is to make their owner the most beautiful person in the world.
There are some artificial nail tips. If the nail technologist you have chosen was a professional indeed, the result of his or her job will be very much alike to natural nails. So be careful when choosing your nail technologist.
Two other artificial nail tips are that you will have to be careful with your nails for the first time as it will be difficult to get used to them. That is why it is highly recommended always to have in your handbag special glue that will help you to save a nail if you break it suddenly.

Boston Marathon Bomber Wanted to Kill 'as Many People as Possible'
Doctors discuss bomb injuries, shrapnel, amputation.
April 17, 2013 -- The bombmakers behind the Boston Marathon explosions weren't looking to scare people, a trauma surgeon with nine years of military experience told ABCNews.com.
They intended to kill, said former Navy surgeon Dr. Gary Schwendig.
"That person or those people did everything they could to create a bomb that damaged and injured as many people as they possibly could," said Schwendig, who now works at Scripps Health in San Diego.
PHOTOS: Messages of Hope After Marathon Bombing
Schwendig said a bomb's shock wave alone was often enough to rupture blood vessels in victims' lungs and other organs in a way that proves fatal, and that debris picked up by explosions – fences, barricades, wood – tends to fly at people, severing limbs. Shrapnel packed into bombs is made to pepper victims with nails and metal ball bearings, severing veins and arteries.
"It's just one more way to hurt people," Schwendig said of the shrapnel Boston doctors said was built into the bombs. "A nail that is tumbling through the body – that nail is an-inch-and-a-half long and it's tumbling and it's going to cut right through that artery."
Still, most of the ball bearings and other pieces of shrapnel will probably remain with the victims for the rest of their lives, he said. Removing the fragments could cause more damage and increase the likelihood of infection, so trauma doctors often leave the shrapnel where it is.
Many victims of the Boston Marathon bombings face possible amputations in the coming days and months, hospitals reported.
Brigham and Women's Hospital has already performed one amputation, and is working to save another patient's injured limb. Massachusetts General Hospital has amputated four limbs so far, and is treating two patients who could face amputation in the coming days. At Tufts Medical Center, doctors have not yet performed any full amputations, but four victims have limb-threatening injuries.
RELATED: Mom Comforts Two Sons Who Each Lost a Leg in Boston Blasts
Dr. Alex Jahangir, an orthopedic trauma surgeon at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tenn., said blast wounds were rare but cause severe, vast injuries. He said he rarely performs amputations within the first day of an injury because it can take 24 hours to determine the full extent of the damage.
Instead, Jahangir performs an initial surgery simply to clean the wound and remove dead bone and muscle. He may later perform an amputation, depending on whether the limb is getting enough blood flow, whether it has enough healthy tissue and whether there's an infection present.
Sometimes, the patient has a choice between amputation and salvaging a limb, Jahangir said. But many times patients choose amputation because the recovery is faster.
Amputees are usually fitted with prosthetics and sent to rehabilitation to learn how to use them within six to eight weeks, Jahangir said. Patients who don't chose amputation often undergo 15 or 20 surgeries, and they may need to wait six to eight months to make sure the bone is healed before they can start walking.
"That process takes two to three years, and at the end of that, they still may wish that'd have gotten it amputated," Jahangir said. "You'll have the leg, but it won't be the same leg you had."
To help patients decide between keeping a limb and amputating it, he calls in Donna Bogg, 50, who nearly lost her leg in a car accident when she was 22 and chose to amputate four years later because of pain and complications. Bogg answers patients' questions about life as an amputee when doctors don't know how to answer, she said.
In Massachusetts, the New England Amputee Association hopes to do the same for the Boston Marathon victims, said its founder, Rose Bissonnette, 66. She lost her left leg 16 years ago when she was crushed under a tractor trailer and had to decide whether to undergo amputation.
"I wanted to speak to a woman amputee," she said. "I didn't have that, and that's why we're here today. ... Our part is to listen to the patients and their families. We've been through this."
Dave Covino, 38, of New Hampshire has visited with patients facing amputation over the years, and he said they always ask about their limitations.
"I had my amputation when I was 16 years old, and my three questions were: Can I still drive a stick shift? Will I be able to go to prom? And can I ski again?" he said.
Covino went to his prom on crutches, still has his right foot to hit the clutch pedal on a stick shift and clocked his top skiing speed at 52 miles per hour last season.
"So all in all, even though I went through a lot of life changes, it was not the end of the world," he said.

Oklahoma, Louisiana, Georgia and Maryland will receive funding for water-related projects
The latest states to receive American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) funding for water-related projects include Oklahoma, Louisiana, Georgia and Maryland.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has made a partial award of $191,880 to the Oklahoma Office of the Secretary of the Environment under the ARRA. A total of $39 million will be awarded nationally to states for Water Quality Management Planning (WQMP) grants, which will keep and create jobs to help prevent water pollution and protect human health and the environment.
Oklahoma has also been approved for an additional $127,920 in WQMP funding, which will be awarded soon. These funds were approved after the state met further grant requirements.
The Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality received $435,200.
The Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority received $66,261,000. The funds will go to the state's Clean Water State Revolving Fund program.
The Maryland Department of the Environment has received more than $121.6 million. The state's Clean Water State Revolving Fund program will receive $94.78 million. It provides low-interest loans for water quality protection projects for wastewater treatment, non-point source pollution control, and watershed and estuary management. The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund program will receive $26.83 million.
Many of the clean water projects in Maryland will aid in the restoration of the Chesapeake Bay and watershed, helping to reduce excess nutrients from wastewater treatment plants and other sources by upgrading waste water treatment plants, sewer and water main upgrades and other much needed infrastructure projects which are in the Bay watershed.
"The Recovery Act investments are meeting urgent needs for economic growth and protecting human health and the environment," said EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson. "Communities across the nation can count on green jobs to help pull them out of this downturn and ensure the long-term strength of our economy and our environment."

What is this book about?
The results of using J2EE in practice are often disappointing: applications are often slow, unduly complex, and take too long to develop. Rod Johnson believes that the problem lies not in J2EE itself, but in that it is often used badly. Many J2EE publications advocate approaches that, while fine in theory, often fail in reality, or deliver no real business value.
Expert One-on-One: J2EE Design and Development aims to demystify J2EE development. Using a practical focus, it shows how to use J2EE technologies to reduce, rather than increase, complexity. Rod draws on his experience of designing successful high-volume J2EE applications and salvaging failing projects, as well as intimate knowledge of the J2EE specifications, to offer a real-world, how-to guide on how you too can make J2EE work in practice.
It will help you to solve common problems with J2EE and avoid the expensive mistakes often made in J2EE projects. It will guide you through the complexity of the J2EE services and APIs to enable you to build the simplest possible solution, on time and on budget. Rod takes a practical, pragmatic approach, questioning J2EE orthodoxy where it has failed to deliver results in practice and instead suggesting effective, proven approaches.
What does this book cover?
In this book, you will learn
Who is this book for?
This book would be of value to most enterprise developers. Although some of the discussion (for example, on performance and scalability) would be most relevant to architects and lead developers, the practical focus would make it useful to anyone with some familiarity with J2EE. Because of the complete design-deployment coverage, a less advanced developer could work through the book along with a more introductory text, and successfully build and understand the sample application. This comprehensive coverage would also be useful to developers in smaller organisations, who might be called upon to fill several normally distinct roles.

I will be attending UPG in the Fall, and I truly believe this university will be great for me. After all, I'll have the benefits of small class sizes and the University of Pittsburgh diploma.
To find more tips for prospective students, what to do for fun and whether this school is great for a particular type of student read the 16 reviews for University of Pittsburgh-Greensburg
Curious about something that isn't answered here? Feel free to ask University of Pittsburgh-Greensburg a question
Pitt-Greensburg is a quiet university tucked back into a residential suburb outside of Pittsburgh, mostly in favor of commuters who's face you only see in classes. The parties are pretty lame, however I have had some epic nights at UPG. Eventually, your time at UPG will lead you to actually enjoy studying in the library.Read More
The campus is nice and is always growing and building on. The class sizes are small enough to get to know your teachers on a personal level. The teachers are willing to give extra help if needed.Read More
From what I have experienced, the academics are top notch, as are the professors. The campus is very scenic and very safe, with an on-campus police department. The dorm halls on campus are an interesting and safe place to stay.Read More
Pitt-Greensburg is a boring campus and in the middle of no where. The professors I have are mostly part-time and this is their second job. The entire thing is honestly the most draining experience I've everhad.Read More
University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg is diverse. It is very quite, sometimes too quite which is great for studying. There are fun events to participate in almost everyday.Read More
While attending college the student must learn to be responsible got theirselves. College is definitely not an extension of high school. Thw student gets out of school what they put into it.Read More
Pitt-Greensburg has a variety of good, educational classes for any major. The professors are, overall, helpful and pleasant. The social life at Pitt-Greensburg is lacking but could be helped if they would hold more events and activities.Read More
This campus is small and great if you need one-on-one help. I know a lot of colleges promise supreme academia, but Pitt @ Greensburg is no doubt one of the best institutions I have transferred to. The only set back is there is honestly not that much to do on school grounds.Read More
The university is nice and easy to get around. But for me it is a little too far. However I still like it and look forward attending it.Read More

TORONTO (AP) — TORONTO (AP) — In a story May 1 about the Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, The Associated Press incorrectly called Toronto Canada's second largest city. It is Canada's largest city.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Toronto mayor takes leave, heads to rehab center
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford boards plane for rehab after report of new crack video surfaces
By ROB GILLIES
Associated Press
TORONTO (AP) — Toronto Mayor Rob Ford began a leave of absence and headed for a rehab center Thursday, leaving his scandalized city in the dark about his political future after a report surfaced of a second video of him apparently smoking crack cocaine.
Ford announced Wednesday that he would take leave for an unspecified amount of time from both his mayoral post and his re-election campaign, but he did not abandon his bid for a second term as mayor of Canada's largest city. One of his campaign rivals and other Toronto politicians demanded he resign. Toronto police said they were looking into the new video, which was reported by the Globe and Mail newspaper.
A day after announcing his decision, Ford boarded a plane for Chicago headed for a treatment program that will last at least 30 days, his lawyer Dennis Morris told The Associated Press.
Morris declined to say if Chicago was his final destination. Ford's family business, Deco Labels and Tags, has a plant in the Chicago area and Rob's brother Doug has a second home there.
The mayor's brother, Doug Ford, told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. that Ford would enter a 30-day inpatient treatment at one of the best rehab facilities in North America but he declined to name the location. Morris said the 30 days could be extended.
On Thursday morning, Ford left his west-end Toronto home in a two car-convoy without answering questions from reporters. His nephew was seen leaving the home with a suitcase.
Ford, who was elected four years ago on a wave of support from Toronto's conservative suburbs, has for months been the subject of a drug-related police investigation, but he has not been charged with any crime. The Toronto City Council stripped him of most of his powers last year.
In a statement Wednesday, he acknowledged having a problem with alcohol and said he would seek help — but he did not address the reported video or make any reference to crack cocaine.
"I have a problem with alcohol, and the choices I have made while under the influence," Ford said in statement late Wednesday. "I have tried to deal with these issues by myself over the past year. I know that I need professional help and I am now 100% committed to getting myself right."
The Globe and Mail newspaper said it has viewed a second video of Ford smoking what appears to be crack cocaine in his sister's basement. The national newspaper said two Globe reporters viewed the video from a self-professed drug dealer showing Ford taking a drag from a pipe early Saturday morning.
The video is part "of a package of three videos the dealer said was surreptitiously filmed around 1:15 a.m., and which he says he is now selling for 'at least six figures,'" the paper reported. The Globe published still photos from the video and said it paid $10,000 to the drug dealer.
News reports of an earlier video of Ford apparently smoking crack first surfaced last May. The mayor denied the existence of that video for months but after police said they had obtained it, Ford acknowledged that he smoked crack in a "drunken stupor." He rebuffed intense pressure to resign and launched his re-election bid earlier this year. The first video has never been released to the public.
Nelson Wiseman, a political science professor at the University of Toronto, said the latest developments reinforced his belief that Ford had no chance of re-election and was likely to withdraw from the race.
"This will peel away a few more voters," Wiseman said. "People do not like being lied to, repeatedly, to their faces."
Earlier, Doug Ford choked back tears as he addressed reporters.
"Rob was very emotional when he told me the hardest thing about this is he knows he let people down. He let his family down, he let his friends down, he let his colleagues down, he let his supporters down and the people of Toronto," said Doug Ford, who is also the mayor's campaign manager.
In a letter to the city clerk indicating he would take a leave of absence, Ford did not specify the length of his leave, saying only that he will provide updates on his status, according to Jackie DeSouza, a spokeswoman for the City of Toronto.
Ford has careened from one scandal to another, including public drunkenness and threatening "murder" in a videotaped rant.
His friend and former driver Alexander Lisi is facing extortion charges over alleged attempts to retrieve the first crack video from an alleged gang member. Recently released police documents note that meetings between Ford and Lisi are "indicative to that of drug trafficking" and that the two have been in constant contact during the investigation.
On Wednesday, The Toronto Sun said that it had obtained an audio recording of Ford making offensive remarks about other politicians at a bar on Monday night, including his election rival Karen Stintz.
"Rob Ford's comments are gross," Stintz said. "Toronto is tired of being gripped in this sad, sad mess."
Another candidate in the Oct. 27 race, John Tory, said the mayor should resign "for the good of the city." City Councilor John Parker said Ford should "go and never come back. Things have gone too far."
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's office said Ford's "comments and behavior are very troubling" and said they "are pleased to hear the Mayor has entered rehab."
Wiseman, the political science professor, said constant media attention has created a false impression that the mayor's political support remains strong.
"Because he's such a fascinating individual, he's a perfect storm for the media, and for people who are taken with celebrities," Wiseman said. "But the people who want selfies with him are looking for entertainment. Those are not people who are going to go door to door for him."
Grace Skogstad, a professor of political science at the University of Toronto's campus in Scarborough, one of the amalgamated suburbs where Ford has been most popular, said the mayor likely blew his chances for redemption by waiting too long to seek help.
"He still has some fans," Skogstad said. "Had he sought the kind of help he needed earlier, he could have had a fighting chance for re-election."
Sairah Nazir, 34, a mother of two who lives in Ford's suburb of Etobicoke, said she would not be voting for him again.
"He does do stuff for the community, that's why I like him but at the same time he needs to show he's improving his image," she said. "He may take a decision that's not in the best interests of our community when he's not in his right mind."
Associated Press writers David Crary in New York and Charmaine Noronha in Toronto contributed to this report.

Streaks End
It was bound to happen. Only a matter of time.
For the fourth time this season, the Phillies have lost back-to-back games. The Phillies had gone a club-record 45 games without losing two in a row. Amazing.
Last time they had done that was a four-game losing streak, May 31 through June 4. The June 3-4 games were in Pittsburgh and the Pirates are at Citizens Bank Park this weekend. At home, the Phillies had lost consecutive games only one other time this year, back in April to Milwaukee.
The Phillies streak of winning nine straight series also ended Thursday night in the loss to SF. Last series they lost, June 17-19, in Seattle. A nine-series winning streak at Citizens Bank Park also ended. The Braves were the last to win a series here, May 6-8.
The Giants' pitching continues to stymie the Phillies hitters. Good news: Giants left town. Not so good news: Phillies play them four times in SF starting next Thursday night.
With the trading deadline at 4 p.m. Sunday, Pat Gillick, Chuck LaMar and Charley Kerfeld are at Citizens Bank Park this week.

Going for a slightly sleeker look, the NFL has unveiled its new uniforms designed by Nike.
The league and Nike showed off the new gear in grand style Tuesday with a gridiron-themed fashion show at a Brooklyn film studio. Uniforms for all 32 teams were on display, worn by players.
Commissioner Roger Goodell was on hand, along with New York Giants receiver Victor Cruz.
Nike is a new NFL partner, taking over uniform and gear design from Reebok.
The designs stayed pretty true to what NFL fans have come to expect. Seattle got some neon green added to its jersey.

Carmike Cinemas in Lexington, Kentucky, were closed briefly due to a bomb threat Friday, but police gave the all-clear after a search turned up no explosives.
Law enforcement agencies across the country are responding to a bomb threat aimed at Columbus, Ga.-based Carmike Cinemas, which has 236 theaters in 35 states.
The threat was aimed at all the theaters showing "The Expendables 2," Carmike spokesman Terrell Mayton told NBC News.
The threat was left in a phone message at the Carmike Cinema's corporate office Friday morning by a person identfying himself as a theater vendor, Mayton said.
The theater chain swiftly coordinated with local law-enforcement agencies, he said. None of the theaters was open for the day yet and heightened security measures will remain in place as they show movies, Mayton said.
"We're getting lots of calls and emails of 'all-clear,'" he said.
The Wilmington, N.C., Police Department cleared the scene on Cinema Drive after investigating a bomb threat, NBC station WECT reported. Officers walked through the building with employees, looking for anything suspicious. They did not find anything and reopened a road shut down during the investigation.
"Really the only prudent thing is to do the search. …Nothing was found," police spokeswoman Lucy Crockett told the Wilmington Star News.

Bomb-sniffing dogs searched the Carmike theaters in Lexington, Ky., but no explosives were found, NBC station WLEX confirmed.
NBCChicago.com showed aerial video of law enforcement agencies setting up outside a theater in Morris, Ill., southwest of Chicago.
On Thursday, Columbus police arrested an armed man who tried to sneak into a Carmike Cinemas theater pre-screening of "Expendables 2." Joshua L. Vardeman, 23, faces three misdemeanor charges, according to the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer.
A federal investigator told NBC News the gunman and the bomb threat appear unrelated.
"Expendables 2," which opened Friday, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger star in a sequel about bad-ass geezers with Dolph Lundgren, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Chuck Norris, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Randy Couture, Terry Crews and Bruce Willis. In this one, the crew reunites for what they think is an easy paycheck, but when one of the team is murdered on the job, the quest for revenge puts them deep in enemy territory.
