1889 N172 Old Judge John Morrill, Washington (Extremely Rare Team Change)
Starting Bid - $200, Sold For - $1,058
Graded FAIR 20 by SGC. While John Morrill is a relatively common player in the Old Judge series, this is a far rarer and more significant example than is apparent at a glance. This 1889 Old Judge is a particularly significant rarity that features Morrill with the Washington Nationals. This is a very rare team-change card in the N172 Old Judge set. On Morrill's earlier-issued Old Judge cards he appears with Boston. Morrill was sold by the Boston Beaneaters to the Washington Nationals in the middle of the 1889 season, which no doubt accounts for the great rarity of this team-change card. Only a few examples are known and this is the first we have ever seen. It is also interesting to note that Goodwin did not yet have a photo of Morrill in his Washington uniform and so actually used an old image of him with Boston. The card is in overall Good to Very Good condition, with a tiny surface chip on his cap, evenly rounded corners, and remnants of scrapbook removal on the reverse. The minor back damage is the cause of the harsh SGC grade. This is an extremely rare team-change card in the Old Judge series. Reserve $200. Estimate $400+. SOLD FOR $1,058

2016-2017 Holocaust and Genocide Studies Newsletter
West Chester University has been a pioneer in Holocaust Studies since 1978 when an undergraduate course on the Holocaust was first offered. The program now includes a Master of Arts in Holocaust and Genocide Studies, a certification program, an undergraduate minor, a regional education center, and a library collection.
The demand for Holocaust and Genocide Studies has grown over the past 20 years. Five states are now mandating that the subject be taught in the schools, and seven states -- including Pennsylvania -- are recommending inclusion in school curricula. It is expected that more states will institute such requirements. Thus, teachers and librarians are seeking more information and instruction. Furthermore, the end of the 20th century saw an explosion of new scholarship and new perspectives on the Holocaust. This scholarship is reinforced by the desire of survivors and those who lived through WWII to educate future generations and to bear witness to the fact that the Holocaust did happen.
Subsequent episodes of genocide in the modern world generate a continuing need for education and a demand for teaching resources. As a public, comprehensive university that has been training teachers for more than a century, West Chester University is able to provide excellent scholarly and pedagogical resources to students, teachers, and the community.
West Chester University Holocaust and Genocide graduate student, Brittany Grim, presented a paper ("Reexamining the Hamidian Massacre, 1894-1896, using Gregory Stanton's Eight Stages of Genocide") at the 10th Biennial Conference of the International Association of Genocide Scholars in Siena, Italy in June 2013.
Dr. Gregory Stanton (Founder and President of Genocide Watch) was at the venue and attended Brittany's session. Brittany had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Stanton about her paper and about opportunities with Genocide Watch. Since the conference, Brittany has been working as an intern for Genocide Watch making website updates.

Project Description
Sandia Technologies, LLC (Sandia), in partnership with Conrad Geoscience Corporation, Schlumberger Carbon Services, Columbia University, Rutgers University, the New York State Museum, and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, examined the potential for large-scale, permanent storage of CO2 in deep strata of the Newark Rift Basin (NRB). The NRB underlies a heavily industrialized region comprising parts of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. The primary focus of this project was to examine and prove the suitability of these Triassic to Cambrian formations for geologic storage of CO2. The project included the analysis of existing hydrologic, geologic, and oil and gas well data; development of a Geographic Information System (GIS) database; geologic and conceptual modeling; and drilling and completing a characterization well. Drilling a stratigraphic test well to near-geologic basement (approximately 8,000 feet total depth) provided Sandia with formation water samples, native formation pressures, and estimates of formation porosity, permeability, grain and bulk density, lithology, and mineralogy. A second characterization well was drilled in conjunction with Columbia University, and a 2-D seismic survey was completed to further characterize the basin.
Project Benefits
The overall effort provides greater insight into the potential for geologic formations across the United States to safely and permanently store CO2. The information furthers the DOE effort to refine a national assessment of CO2 storage capacity in deep geologic formations. Specifically, this project contributes to a more precise and thorough understanding of the geologic storage opportunities in the NRB, sink-source matching, and refined storage capacity estimate. The data gathered as part of this research effort is being shared with the Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (RCSP) Midwest Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership's (MRCSP), integrated into the National Carbon Sequestration Database and Geographic Information System (NATCARB), and utilized for the Carbon Sequestration Atlas of the United States and Canada.

The Coffin Muffler® is a very versatile and extremely effective product. Not only does it fit in almost any automobile application, it will fit pickups, tractors and nearly any other application you can dream up. It also works well with diesels, both cars and pickups.
The inside design of the coffin muffler allows engines to make more torque and more horsepower, yet still increasing fuel economy-all at the same time. the muffler is able to do this by freeing up the OEM (Original Equipment Manufactured), exhaust system. Basically it's like the difference between blowing through a plastic straw and blowing through a garden hose; which one do you think allows air to escape faster and with less effort? All this results in longer engine life, snappier throttle responds, better fuel economy, and yes that aggressive sound we all love. A lot of people turn their heads on such products, until they hear about better fuel economy, in other words, saving money, gas, and the environment, everyone can do their part! The Coffin Muffler is a simple and affordable product almost anyone can reap benifits from.

North Shore Animal League America, in conjunction with the Nassau County Office of Emergency Management, has announced an Emergency Foster Care Referral Program for pets who have fallen victim to Hurricane Sandy. Nassau County and NSALA will combine their resources to assist pet owners find foster homes so that their temporarily homeless pets can be given a place to live while their owners continue to recover from the storm.
"This program pairs a beloved pet with a foster parent while its owner recovers from Hurricane Sandy," said County Executive Ed Mangano. "It's a great way of providing peace of mind, love and care for the pet until the owner and pet can be safely reunited."
Each applicant will be thoroughly screened by an NSALA fostering specialist, and will be provided with a list of potential animals that match their criteria. Pet owners will be given the information about the foster parents that match their own criteria also, so that they can determine whom they would like to place their animal with. In other words, an agreement will be made between the animal's owner and the foster parent before anything moves forward.
"Allowing pet owners the opportunity to participate in the Emergency Foster Care Referral Program where their beloved pets can enjoy a home environment is critical for both pets and their owners," said Lindsey Calabrese, communications manager at North Shore Animal League America. "Our goal is to get these animals into a home environment as soon as possible and help alleviate additional stress on pet owners who have already endured so much."
In preparation for Hurricane Sandy, Nassau County, the county's SPCA, NSALA, and the Pet Safe Coalition set up an emergency pet shelter. Just one day before the storm, North Shore Animal League America set up two of their mobile rescue and adoption units at Mitchel Field Athletic Complex in Uniondale to help shelter displaced pets. After the hurricane, the shelter was moved to a larger location, the gymnasium at Mitchel Field, to accommodate the number of animals that were displaced.

Memorial service Wednesday for popular Stevens High teacher
By MEGHAN PIERCE
Union Leader Correspondent
CLAREMONT - Students and staff of Stevens High School plan to hold a memorial service Wednesday for a beloved teacher who died unexpectedly over winter break.
Linda Beaulieu, 58, was traveling in San Juan, Puerto Rico, when she died Thursday.
The memorial service for Beaulieu is planned for 3 p.m. at Trinity Church on Broad Street.
"The school is working with the pastor to come up with the program so there will be students and teachers speaking and sharing stories about Linda," said assistant principal Kim Ezen.
Beaulieu had been an English teacher at Stevens High School for almost three decades, since 1984.
"It's quite devastating," said Evelyn Plourde, who has been teaching at the high school since 1990.
Monday morning before school started, Stevens principal Frank W. Sprague gathered faculty together to prepare them to deal with grieving students, Plourde said. Sprague had contacted teachers over winter break.
"We will have time to grieve, but our students come first," he told the teachers Monday, Plourde said.
On Monday she spent time with many of Beaulieu's students.
"It's been a really rough time," she said.
Beaulieu had designed a "Tech English" class specifically for a class of about 20 boys who study plumbing and heating in Stevens tech high school.
"It was amazing to see some of those boys get very emotional in my class yesterday and we talked through it," Plourde said.
Many of the students had already heard of her death through social media.
One student from the tech class showed Plourde a pen he bought after learning of Beaulieu's death. He was always without a pen and would borrow one from Beaulieu, who would tease him saying it was her "favorite pen," so he bought the same kind of pen.
Another student of Beaulieu's played a recording of Beaulieu singing Louie Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World." Beaulieu sang the song as a way of encouraging one of her students, who had a good singing voice but was afraid to sing in front of people, Plourde said.
"Linda Beaulieu sang it to her class and this student taped it."
"That just says it all. That's the type of teacher she was. She was phenomenal. She really was very strict. They called her the 'task master,' but the kids all loved her for it," Plourde said.
Beaulieu had a way of finding the underdogs and encouraging them and helping them find their path in life.
"You never know how you're going to affect students and she always went after them and made them do their best," Plourde said. "I think that was really her forte. It was life, not English. It was really always about life. She was really like their mother. She never had children of her own and her nieces and nephews she always tended as her own. She was an unbelievable person."
Plourde said in trying to find some good in the tragedy, she spoke to the students about how Beaulieu loved to travel and had been talking about her trip.
"She was so thrilled to go to Puerto Rico and couldn't wait and that's what she was talking about to me and other students. She was doing what she loves."
Beaulieu was born in Woodsville and graduated from Woodsville High School in 1972. She graduated from Keene State Teaching College in 1976. She was working on her master's degree at the University of Vermont. She was married to George Beaulieu for 30 years.
Sprague attended a funeral for Beaulieu in Bath Tuesday. In a letter to parents, he said she "passed away from natural causes during winter vacation" and advised parents how best to help their children through the grieving process.
"Students will respond to this news in many different ways. Some will be sad, then happy, and then sad again. Some will appear not to care; others may act out or withdraw. All may benefit from extra time with adults who love them," he wrote. "Our whole school community, families and teachers, will be working together to adjust to this loss. We are thinking of you all."
Plourde said Sprague has made additional counseling available at the school for all students and staff.

The final chapter of "Breaking Bad," AMC's hit drama about a chemistry teacher who becomes a deadly criminal, has yet to air. But creator Vince Gilligan isn't quite ready to let go.
Gilligan said he would love to develop a series revolving around Saul Goodman, the sleazy attorney who becomes involved with the show's lead character, Walter White.
Said Gilligan during a session to promote the final episodes: "It is my fervent wish that there be a Saul Goodman spinoff." He said he was speaking only for himself, and that any such project had not received a green light.
PHOTOS: Behind the scenes of 'Breaking Bad'
Bob Odenkirk, who plays Goodman, added, "I would very much like to do it. I know if Vince is writing it, it will be awesome."
Though questions continue to swirl around how the series will end — and the ultimate fate of Walter White — Gilligan said he was very pleased with the conclusion of the drama.
"I'm very proud of the ending," he said. "I can't wait for everyone to see it."
That confidence appeared to be a far cry from what he was thinking when the show started in 2008. Although he said he knew he wanted to focus on a character who evolved "from Mr. Chips to Scarface," he said, "I really can't remember what the original ending was. I couldn't see the forest for the trees."
One thing that might jar his memory is a behind-the-scenes documentary on the series by filmmaker Stu Richardson that chronicles the show's evolution from beginning to end. The two-hour documentary will appear in a future box set of the show's five seasons.
Gilligan said he was "really happy" with the documentary.

I love volunteering because I use my office skills in two departments. I volunteer because the experience has helped me make new friends and improve my computer skills.
Why do I volunteer? It's because I really love what I do! Working in the PACU
(Post Anesthesia Care Unit) or Recovery Room has afforded me the opportunity to help others and learn so much about medicine and patient care. The nurses, doctors and medical staff are my friends and I'm treated as one of the team. Being a people oriented person, this position suits me to a tee. That's why I volunteer at Sinai and am coming up on my 20th year of service.
My motivation came from knowing I would get community service hours. My dedication came from seeing how much my help was appreciated. My completion comes with the knowledge and skills I have gained. Thank you Sinai for giving me the most priceless feeling: accomplishment. I truly feel that I received more than I gave.

Handling Specialty custom engineered and manufactured a set of four self-propelled personnel lifts (carts) equipped with anti-collision sensors to be used to position personnel along the span of an airplane wing to complete various assembly processes.
The customer required a set of safe, ergonomic lifts that could rise and lower 11' along a track running next to the wing. The cart was also required to move 24" on the x axis, allowing personnel to get closer to the wing as necessary. The carts travel at a maximum of 4 mph and there are two carts on each track. Handling Specialty suggested adding anti-collision sensors to the carts. These sensors would stop the traverse motion of the cart should an obstruction be placed in the cart's path.
The collision avoidance system utilized a Sick laser safety scanner at each end of the cart which was able to sense objects across the entire face of the cart. The system was set up with two anti-collision sensing ranges. The far range caused an alarm to sound and triggered the cart to slow down its travel speed until the obstruction was removed, or the cart entered the second sensing range. At that point, the cart would stop and movement was halted until the obstruction was cleared.

Mark Hayward's City Matters: Mental illness comes calling
By MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
On Monday, physicians, mental health counselors, county officials, police and others held a rather ordinary news conference in Concord. In a nutshell, they warned that the system for treating the mentally ill is broken, thanks to years of budget cuts.
Four days earlier, that system crash-landed in the living room of Gabrielle Adams' Manchester apartment.
While sitting on the couch late last Thursday night, Adams was stunned when an unknown man ran into her living room.
The man acted frantically, running to every door and trying to open it. Two pint-sized dogs yapped away. The only light, from the living room flat screen TV, provided horror-movie ambiance.
Adams, who is 20, punched the young adult when he went for the bedroom door of her 12-year-old cousin. Her 15-year-old cousin hit the intruder with a bottle of hair spray.
"Who are you," Adams demanded.
"I don't know. I'm possessed," he shouted.
Eventually, he reached a little-used door leading into the front hallway and took off.
"He was kind of crazy," Adams said. "He looked crazy. I don't know; he could have been freaked out."
Police later found he had been living in the cellar of the two-family home. A sleeping bag, water bottle and empty cough syrup boxes remained in the basement over the weekend.
Adams and her family said they had never seen the squatter until Thursday, and had no idea how long he had been living beneath them.
Homeless people sleeping in cellars. Strangers running through living rooms saying they're possessed. Sure sounds like a broken system.
Elliot Hospital emergency room physician John Dwight Seidner, who was one of the doctors at the Monday press conference, said it's fair to say the case is unusual. But he said people can be stable - in this case it appears stable enough to live undetected in a cellar - until a psychotic episode hits.
"It's so significant, it distorts their perception of reality," Seidner said about an episode. When ill people try doors, they are looking for a figurative escape from their situation, he said.
He went on to say that the incident is an argument for a community-based system, which avoids institutionalization and expensive hospital stays by providing supports - counseling, therapy, jobs, group homes - for people where they live.
Adams, her aunt and two cousins live on the first floor of a two-family home on the first block of Ash Street, within the shadow of Central High School. She said the intruder likely accessed the cellar through the side door to the building. It opens into a small hallway, where one hallway door leads to the basement.
Adams acknowledged the side door is unlocked. Afterall, a pane of glass in the door is broken, so there is no way to secure it.
The man, whom Adams said appeared both scrawny and stout, burst into the apartment through a cellar door that opens into the kitchen. A small bolt secures the door, and the intruder broke the bolt when he forced the door open, she said.
Police caution that they're not sure the intruder was mentally ill. But they note that many homeless suffer from mental illness. A 2011-12 recent state tally reported that 1,175 of the 4,825 people in state-funded shelters suffered from mental illness, about 25 percent.
And while mental health workers and doctors make pitches for more funding, Manchester has taken a necessary but rather sad step to face the fact that this is New Hampshire, and there's not magic hat of unlimited money to help the mentally ill.
"We seem to deal with the same people over and over again," said police Lt. Ron Mello, who heads up the Police Department's Crisis Intervention Team. The team comprises 15 officers who have taken 40 hours of training on mental illness. Another seven are about ready to take the training.
The classes teach police how to identify people going through a crisis and how to de-escalate any potential for violence.
Mello, who's been with Manchester police for 21 years, said he can't say there are more mentally ill people in the community. But he said there are fewer hospital beds for them.
"I just know the resources are less," he said.
He said most mentally ill people are not violent. But the prospect of a Newtown, Conn., or Aurora, Colo., can no longer be ignored. Back to Ash Street. Adams had arrived home from volunteer work only a half hour earlier. Had she not been there, her 15- and 12-year-old cousins would have had to fend off their uninvited guest without her. About a half hour after the incident, the cousins' mother arrived home from her job as a sales clerk at a local department store.
"Then need to tighten it up more, not let people roam the streets," said Angela Holland, who rents the three-bedroom apartment. "I want my kids safe."
Mark Hayward's City Matters appears in the New Hampshire Union Leader and UnionLeader.com on Thursdays. He can be reached at email@example.com.

Louis Vuitton Loses Bogus Trademark Lawsuit: Using Fake Handbag In Hangover II Isn't Infringement
from the get-over-it dept
Thankfully, as a number of folks have sent in, district court Judge Andrew Carter is not convinced and has dumped the case, noting (correctly) that "The likelihood of confusion is at best minimal." The judge pointed out that the bag was on-screen for less than 30 seconds and no one was likely to notice it was fake. The fact that the character in the movie (played by Zach Galifianakis) made a joke in which he pronounced Louis Vuitton as "Lewis Vuitton" is meaningless here, even though LV seemed particularly hurt by being the butt of a joke, saying it was "an oft-repeated and hallmark quote from the movie."
Now, if only we can get that ruling on the basketball overturned...

The landscape of "Nebraska" is populated with such well-known actors as Bruce Dern and Stacy Keach as well as retired farmers making their debuts who live in the town of Plainview, Neb., where most of the film was shot.
"I did see a lot of people for every part," said Payne. "I pay myself few compliments as a filmmaker, but I think [casting director] John Jackson and I cast well."
Though he doesn't have much dialogue, Rance Howard stands out as Woody's (Dern) older brother Ray, a taciturn couch potato. The veteran character actor is the father of Oscar-winning director Ron Howard and frequently pops up in his son's movies.
VIDEO: Watch the cast and crew of 'Nebraska' discuss the film
"Rance Howard came in to audition for Woody," said Payne. "His audition was very good. I didn't hire him for the part." But he asked if he would be interested in playing Ray. "He accepted immediately."
Mary Louise Wilson, a noted stage actress who won a Tony in 2007 for the musical "Grey Gardens," plays Ray's wife, a woman who is so oblivious to the world she takes it in stride that her two oafish sons are criminals. "I had liked her," said Payne. "She played Louis CK's mother in 'Louie' in one episode and in Season 1."
But perhaps the biggest discovery is Angela McEwan, who plays Peg Nagy, the sweet editor of the small town's newspaper, who had had a crush on Woody when they were in high school and still regrets losing him to Kate.
ON LOCATION: Where the cameras roll
"I believe she's been languishing in short student films," said Payne. "She came late in life to acting. I cast her off of a tape. John Jackson and I were in Omaha and hadn't pulled the trigger on that part. We knew we wanted someone quite special. We kept returning to her tape."
Johnson, Payne recalled, told him about seeing McEwan on tape. "I don't know who she is but look how sweet she is. I don't like to cast someone without meeting him or her personally. I happened to be coming out to Los Angeles and I called her. I met her at her sister-in-law's home in Hancock Park.
"We had coffee together in the late afternoon. She had baked me cookies. It just came from her heart."

You've probably heard this complaint before; I've been irked by tote bags accumulating around the house for a long time. Now, I know I'm looking the gift horse in the mouth, and as problems go this doesn't even rate — and I apologize, because I'm about to mix metaphors in a most egregious manner — but the straws that broke the camel's back were two of my most recent unsolicited acquisitions: One, in cheery brown and orange, came from a home-furnishings business; the other, a gift from the Hampton Classic Horse Show, is super-sized and plastic-lined, with two inside mesh pockets.
The issue seems to be that neither my husband nor I have learned to say no thank you. Waste not, want not, we think . . . and merrily shove these freebies into cabinets, drawers, and closets from which they are never again to emerge.
This week, with no one else at home, I headed to the biggest trove, in a bin in the music-room coat closet. Alone in the dark they had multiplied to epic numbers. Among the rather handsome canvas ones were several more from the Hampton Classic. A few large numbers had unattractive corporate names or logos on them (including one that felt like rubber and would have been good in the rain, although no one had ever used it).
The two that I've actually made good use of came from The New York Times; because they have zippered tops, I carry them a lot on Jitney trips, and even had one dry-cleaned once. A smaller version from The Wall Street Journal looked chintzy by comparison.
Then there was the heavy red one from Cole Haan, which had a shop here for a while and donated a pile to the East Hampton Library. The company's name is discreetly printed inside, but I had found it too big to drag around. A bright fuchsia bag in a waterproof fabric also had a discreet designer label. The color had been fashionable about the turn of the millennium, if I recall correctly.
A few small ones, in cloth other than canvas, came from museum gift shops, among them one that was a memento of my trip to China with the New York Choral Society. Yet another, that I had wanted to keep as a reminder of our visit to Salt Spring Island, off the coast of Vancouver, was nowhere to be seen. More recent paper-thin totes, like a few from the Wainscott Seafood Shop, for example, had also disappeared. But I found several that I swear I had never seen before, including one that was mammoth and alarmingly chartreuse.
Having scattered them all over the floor for inspection, I proceeded to my husband's bedroom closet to unearth yet another lode. My husband had left one batch on the floor, stuffed another batch into the biggest bag, and slammed shut the closet door. I hauled them all out. (He also had an honest-to-goodness, undecorated, vintage "boat bag" there, dating to the days when no one used the word "tote." It was filled with Chris's swimming gear: fins, snorkels, masks. I left that one alone.)
I was about to walk away from the whole mess, having counted 37 tote bags in total, when other members of the household began arriving. What in the world was I doing, they wanted to know. I told them I was thinking of giving the totes in good condition away to people who were tote-bagless, if I could identify any. Maybe, I said, I could casually take a few to the dry cleaner's and secretly forget to pick them up.
My husband meandered in and scooped up a few, including the huge chartreuse one, saying we should keep them in the car to use for groceries. That gave me another idea: I would go to town and stand in front of the supermarket and give them away.
By then, however, it was getting to be supper time. And it could be embarrassing to try to fob off tote bags on strangers, couldn't it?
Wondering if perhaps the Ladies Village Improvement Society Bargain Box might want them, for use at checkout, I folded up those still lying on the floor, arranged them in neater stacks, and squashed them back into the darkness from whence they came.

Channel 7 meteorologist Jeremy Reiner sounded a little down when he answered the telephone yesterday afternoon.
�I�ve had better days,� he said.
Forecasters knew for days the storm that dropped almost two feet of snow on parts of Worcester County on Thursday and Friday would be a noteworthy weather event, but they didn�t know it would go into the record books as one of the biggest March storms on record for Worcester.
Mr. Reiner said a low-pressure system several hundred miles south of Nantucket is usually so far away from Central Massachusetts that heavy precipitation wouldn�t make it here.
However, he said, a low-pressure area in the upper atmosphere heading southeast from the Great Lakes on Thursday night got absorbed into the main storm, giving it a boost of energy that intensified an easterly flow from the Atlantic Ocean.
That formed a meteorological �conveyor belt� of moisture that combined with colder-than-expected temperatures to bring more than the anticipated snow to the area.
�Think of it as a fire hose from the Atlantic,� he said of the �conveyor belt.�
Channel 5 chief meteorologist Harvey Leonard said in weathercasts Thursday and Friday that deep Atlantic Ocean moisture played a key role in burying Central Massachusetts in snow.
A strong high-pressure area in the North Atlantic kept the storm from moving out to sea at the rate most storms do.
He said the storm stalled, causing heavy snow to fall on the area for more than 18 hours.
�We were not in a good spot for it to get stuck,� Mr. Leonard said.
A subtle wind shift also was a major factor in the severity of what Charles Foley, a meteorologist in the Taunton office of the National Weather Service, termed a long-duration storm.
Mr. Foley said the wind late Thursday night shifted from the northeast to the north-northeast, allowing colder air to filter into the region from the north.
The geography of Worcester County also contributed to the heavy snowfall, Mr. Foley said.
Worcester�s hilly terrain caused the air to be cooler than many other areas, something that is common with March storms, he explained.
Plus, the moisture-laden winds from the ocean bumped into the Worcester County hills and lifted upward, causing even more moisture in the form of heavy snow to be released. In the world of meteorology, that is called orographic lifting.
�The orographic lifting probably played a role in the heavy snow you got in Central Massachusetts,� AccuWeather.com meteorologist Thomas N. Kines said.
Mr. Kines acknowledged forecasters were surprised by the amount of snow that fell in Worcester County, and said temperatures about two degrees colder than expected were the main reason for such heavy snowfall.
�It was a pretty rare occurrence,� Mr. Kines said of the storm. �We forecast up to a foot of snow in Washington, D.C., and while it snowed there it was 35-36 degrees and it didn�t stick. You got a lot more snow than we expected, and the temperatures made all the difference. It was a storm that was not well-behaved and had a lot of surprises.�

As good as the Seattle Seahawks were a year ago, they could be even better in 2014.
A healthy Percy Harvin might do the trick.
Harvin, one of the NFL's most dynamic players, missed virtually all of Seattle's Super Bowl season following surgery to repair a labrum tear in his hip. Playing in one regular-season game and two postseason games, he handled the ball just 10 times in a combination of rushes, pass receptions and kickoff returns.
But with those few glimpses, Harvin has the other Seahawks eager to see more this season.
"He's an incredible football player," Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said. "He's a great competitor, and he shows it every day when he's on the practice field. … His playmaking ability and the extraordinary speed that he has shows up daily, and it's really cool."
"He's an explosive playmaker," agreed Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell. "And I'm glad he's on our side."
In last season's cameo appearances, Harvin had three carries and each time gained 10 yards or more, including a 30-yard burst around left end early in the Super Bowl. Two of his five receptions were for 15 yards or more. And his two kickoff returns were both longer than 55 yards, including an 87-yard touchdown scamper to start the second half of the Super Bowl.
"You look at last year and you see the significant impact he had in those few plays," Bevell said. "So you want to be able to have the ball in his hands each and every game because … he can do a lot of things."
Harvin was traded to Seattle from Minnesota in March of last year, with the Seahawks giving up first- and seventh-round draft picks to the Vikings in 2013 and a third-round selection this year. He then signed a six-year, $67 million contract ($25.5 million guaranteed) with the Seahawks.
Unfortunately, the hip injury and subsequent surgery kept Harvin out for more than two months to start the regular season. He made his first appearance in a Nov. 11 game against Minnesota and in spot minutes managed a 17-yard reception and a 58-yard kickoff return. But his surgically repaired hip became inflamed after the game and he was inactive until Seattle's first postseason game against New Orleans. He played briefly against the Saints, but then was forced out again, this time by a concussion that sidelined him until the Super Bowl.
But after mending fully in the offseason, Harvin has been injury-free and virtually pain-free through this summer's training camp.
"Right now," he said, "I'm feeling very, very good about where I'm at, and I'm looking forward to the season."
Asked when he last felt this good, Harvin had to pause and think.
"Maybe before college," he said. "The biggest thing with me was that my hip was (causing) a lot of the hamstring and knee problems and things like that. But now my legs are feeling how they're supposed to feel. Very fluent, very smooth, so it's all good.
"I've got a lot more (leg) motion then I'm used to having," he added. "I can do a lot more cuts and just a lot of different motions that I wasn't able to do before. … I definitely feel a lot better."
As the Seahawks head into the 2014 season, Harvin will be part of the team's retooled receiving corps. Gone are two players who had important roles last season — Sidney Rice, who retired, and Golden Tate, who signed an offseason free-agent contract with Detroit. Another change is the arrival of Paul Richardson, Seattle's top draft pick in 2014.
The team has other returning receivers, of course, including Doug Baldwin, Jermaine Kearse and Ricardo Lockette. But the biggest weapon, at least in terms of sheer explosiveness, is Harvin.
"When he has the football in his hands, (opponents) get a little nervous," said Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson. "You just kind of get that sense. He's very fast and very quick, and he can make a lot of plays … so his presence out there on the football field is a very good thing for us."
The other thing about Harvin, Wilson added, "is that he's a great locker room teammate. He's unbelievable in there. … We love him as a teammate."
Bevell, head coach Pete Carroll and other members of Seattle's staff are always looking for ways to utilize Harvin's remarkable speed beyond pass routes. Returning kicks is one example, but another came in the Super Bowl when the Seahawks three times handed him the ball on sweeps, with each one gaining double-digit yardage.
"It really doesn't matter to me," Harvin said of his many roles. "I just do whatever they call me to do. I've just been … trying to perfect anything they ask me to do."
Neither does he care much about individual accomplishments. "I don't set goals or (worry about) personal things. I just want to be in the mix. As long as I'm in there practicing and working hard, everything else will take care of itself."
According to Bevell, Harvin helps Seattle's offense even when he does not get the ball. Opponents have to adjust their defenses to account for his speed, and that can create openings for other plays and players.
"I think you saw that in the Super Bowl," Bevell said. "Just being able to bring him around (on sweeps) and do the things we did with him, it had a significant impact even when he wasn't getting the ball. They have to pay attention to him when he's out there.
"So we're going to use him in a lot of different ways. … And being able to have him on a consistent basis (this season) will be huge for us."

No, they can't. Even if it may seem unfair to compare one against another, they are actually each judged on their own merit against the judging criteria.
It has been brought up before, and besides the fact they are not judged against another piece, the judges enjoy having the variety.
If the Challenge were separated between poetry and fiction, we'd also have to have a division for non-fiction personal reflection pieces, devotionals, and the list could go on and on.
There are no favorite styles or genres when it comes to judging the Challenge. The thing that jumps out is a fresh, creative approach that has been crafted well. Whether it's poetry or prose really doesn't figure in the equation at all.

If you put the area's best all-time professional football players by position on the same team, it would be quite a group - maybe one worthy of competing in a Super Bowl.
If you put the area's best all-time professional football players by position on the same team, it would be quite a group - maybe one worthy of competing in a Super Bowl.
With the big game coming up next week between the 49ers and Ravens in New Orleans, here's a mock Super Bowl team of players and coaches with ties to the Stockton area. To be considered, the players and coaches had to have been born or spent their formative years in the Stockton area, or played or coached at Delta College or Pacific. Each player had to have played or coached in the American Football League or the National Football League. Those with an asterisk by their name played or coached in a Super Bowl or NFL Championship game.
Eddie LeBaron: Pacific's "Little General" threw for 13,999 yards and 104 touchdowns, ran for 650 yards and nine touchdowns and averaged 41 yards per punt in an 11-year career with the Washington Redskins (1952-59) and Dallas Cowboys (1960-63). LeBaron was a four-time Pro Bowl selection (1955, 1957, 1958 and 1962) and voted one of the 80 greatest Redskins of all time. He is a member of the Redskins' Ring of Fame.
Dick Bass: The Pacific product played in 112 games in 10 seasons from 1960-69 with the Los Angeles Rams. Bass ran for 5,417 yards and 34 touchdowns on 1,218 carries and had two 1,000-yard seasons. Bass also caught 204 passes for 1,841 yards and seven touchdowns. He was selected to three Pro Bowls (1962, 1963 and 1966).
Willard Harrell: Born in Stockton, the Edison High and Pacific speedster played in 136 games in 10 seasons with the Packers (1975-77) and St. Louis Cardinals (1978-84). Harrell ran for 1,378 yards and 10 touchdowns on 426 carries, and had 1,135 yards and four touchdowns on 127 receptions. In his rookie season under head coach Bart Starr, Harrell not only was the team's second leading rusher and receiver, he threw three touchdowns.
Webster Slaughter: The Stockton-born Franklin graduate played at Delta College before he starred at San Diego State and with the Browns (1986-91), Oilers (1992-94), Chiefs (1995), Jets (1996) and Chargers (1998). Slaughter played in 162 games in 12 seasons and was a two-time Pro Bowl selection (1989, 1993) and an All-Pro in 1989. He caught 563 passes for 8,111 yards and 44 touchdowns, and played on three division championship teams with the Browns, losing twice in the AFC Championship Game to the Broncos.
Lionel Manuel*: In seven seasons, the Pacific product caught 232 passes for 3,941 yards and 23 touchdowns for the Giants from 1984-90. Manuel was a starter on the Giants' Super Bowl XXI team that beat John Elway and the Broncos, 39-20. In that game, Manuel caught three passes for 43 yards, including a long of 17 yards. Manuel started the 1990 season with the Giants before his career ended because of injuries. The 1990 Giants beat the Bills, 20-19, in Super Bowl XXV.
Bruce Coslet*: The Pacific product played in 101 games in eight seasons for the Cincinnati Bengals (1969-76). Coslet caught 60 passes for 839 yards and eight touchdowns. His best season came in 1971, when he had 21 receptions for 356 yards and four touchdowns. Coslet was the Bengals' offensive coordinator when they lost to the 49ers in Super Bowl XXIII following the 1988 season.
Greg Bishop: Born in Stockton, the Lodi High and Pacific lineman spent six seasons with the Giants from 1993-98 and one season with the Falcons (1999). Bishop played guard and tackle in 101 games and made 67 starts. Bishop was a backup on the Giants' 1993 team that lost to the 49ers in the divisional playoffs and started on the Giants' 1997 NFC East championship team that lost to the Vikings in the wild-card round.
Wayne Hawkins*: The Raiders' starting right guard from the team's inception in 1960 until he retired in 1969 is one of 20 players who were in the American Football League during its entire 10-year run. The Pacific product was a five-time AFL All-Star and played on the Raiders' 1967 AFL championship team that lost to the Packers in Super Bowl II. Hawkins is a member of the Raiders' all-time team.
Derek Kennard*: The Edison graduate and starting center on the Cowboys' Super Bowl XXX title team had an 11-year career and played in 133 games for the St. Louis Cardinals (1986-87), Phoenix Cardinals (1988-90), Saints (1991-93) and Cowboys (1994-96). Kennard spent his first two seasons with the L.A. Express in the United States Football League. The versatile big man played center, guard and tackle, and also on special teams.
John Nisby: In 1962, Nisby, Bobby Mitchell and Leroy Jackson were the first black players to play for the Redskins, the last NFL team to integrate. The Delta College and Pacific product played in 102 games in eight seasons as a guard for the Steelers (1957-61) and Redskins (1962). Nisby was named to the Pro Bowl three times, with Pittsburgh in 1959 and 1961, and with Washington in 1962.
Duane Putnam*: The four-time Pro Bowl guard played in 121 games in 11 seasons with the L.A. Rams (1952-59), Cowboys (1960), Browns (1961) and the Rams again in 1962. The Pacific product played in the Pro Bowl in 1952, 1955, 1957 and 1958. Putnam played on the 1955 Rams' team that lost to the Browns 38-14 in the NFL Championship game.
Gene "Bud" Cronin*: The Pacific product played defensive end and linebacker for seven seasons with the Lions (1956-59), Cowboys (1960) and Redskins (1961-62). Cronin played on the Lions' 1957 team that beat the Browns 59-14 in the NFL Championship Game. The Lions haven't won a championship since. Cronin also played on the Cowboys' inaugural team in 1960 with LeBaron.
Bob Heinz*: The Lincoln High, Delta College and Pacific product was a right defensive tackle for the Dolphins from 1969-77 and a starter on their vaunted "No-Name Defense." In 1972, Heinz and the Dolphins had a 17-0 season that included a 14-7 win over the Redskins in Super Bowl VII. No NFL team has duplicated Miami's perfect season. Heinz also earned a second Super Bowl ring in 1973 with the Dolphins and finished his career with the Redskins in 1978.
Paul Wiggin*: Born in Modesto and raised in Lathrop, the Stanford product was a dominant defensive end for the Browns from 1957-67. Wiggin was a key member of the Browns' 1964 NFL Championship team and a two-time Pro Bowl selection. Wiggin later was an assistant coach for the 49ers and Saints, and a head coach for the Chiefs and his college alma mater, Stanford.
Eric Williams*: The Stockton native and St. Mary's graduate was a third-round pick out of Washington State by the Lions in 1984 and played in Detroit through 1989. He then joined the Redskins and was the starting defensive tackle on the 1991 team that beat the Bills in Super Bowl XXVI.
Carl Kammerer: Born in Stockton, the Lodi High, San Francisco State and Pacific product played in 123 games in nine seasons for the 49ers from 1961-62 and the Redskins from 1963-69. Drafted by the 49ers with the 22nd overall selection in 1960, Kammerer completed his commitment at Pacific before he joined the 49ers in 1961. He was the Redskins' defensive player of the year in 1966 and 1968.
Mike Merriweather: A ball-hawking linebacker who starred at Pacific before he played in 149 games in 11 seasons with the Steelers from 1982-87, Vikings from 1989-92, and the Packers and Jets in 1993. In 1984, Merriweather led the Steelers with 15 sacks, and had 41 sacks and 18 interceptions in his career, including four that he returned for touchdowns. He was a three-time Pro Bowl selection and a member of the 1980s All-Decade team.
Bob Swenson*: Born in Stockton, the Tracy High and Cal product played in 95 games in eight seasons from 1975-83 with the Broncos. Swenson was part of the famed "Orange Crush" defense and was the Broncos' starting left outside linebacker in Super Bowl XII against the Cowboys. Swenson was selected to the 1981 Pro Bowl and had 11 career interceptions and one fumble recovery.
Chris Cash: The Stockton native out of Franklin and USC played in 30 games in three seasons with the Lions (2002, 2004) and Falcons in 2005. He missed the 2003 season with a knee injury. Cash started in 12 games his rookie season and had 100 tackles and one interception. In 2004, he played in 11 games with five starts for the Lions. Cash joined the Falcons in 2005 and played in three games. He spent the 2006 season on injured reserve and then was released.
Alfred "Bubba" Gross: A starter at safety in his first three seasons with the Browns from 1983-85, the Stockton-born Franklin graduate and Arizona product had 11 interceptions that he returned for 230 yards and one touchdown with six fumble recoveries, including one for a touchdown, in a five-season career. "The Hitman," as he was called, played in 58 games and started 38 times. He played on the Browns' AFC Central championship teams in 1985, 1986 and 1987.
Don Morgan: The Manteca High and Nevada product played safety in 27 games over four seasons with the Vikings from 1999-2001 and the Cardinals in 2002. Morgan saw action in the 2000 NFC Championship Game against the Giants. In 2001, he had 14 tackles in 16 games. He also played on special teams and in 2001 he returned four punts for 17 yards and four kickoffs for 78 yards.
Kato Serwanga: Started his college career at Sacramento State and played on Pacific's final team in 1995 before he transferred to Cal. Serwanga spent five seasons with the Patriots (1998-2000), Redskins (2001) and Giants (2002-03). He recorded 110 tackles, three interceptions and three sacks in his career. He was on the Patriots' playoff team in 2001 and the Giants' playoff team in 2002.
Alex G. Spanos*: The Stockton native and Pacific graduate purchased 60 percent of the San Diego Chargers in 1984 and over the following 10 years acquired 97 percent of the team. In recent years, Spanos has divested some of his holdings but still owns the majority of the team. His family, including sons Dean, the team's president, Michael, the executive vice president, and grandsons A.G. and John, are involved in day-to-day operations. In the 1994 season, the Spanos family had the thrill of watching their team beat the Steelers in the AFC Championship Game and reach Super Bowl XXIX against the 49ers.
Tom Flores*: The former Pacific quarterback won two Super Bowls as head coach of the Raiders after earning Super Bowl rings as a backup with the Chiefs in 1970 at Super Bowl IV, and as an assistant with the Raiders in 1977 at Super Bowl XI. In 1981, Flores led the Oakland Raiders over the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl XV, and in 1984, he accomplished the same feat when the Raiders, then located in Los Angeles, beat the Redskins in Super Bowl XVII.
Pete Carroll: The former all-conference defensive back and assistant coach at Pacific has made many stops in his career, but the majority of his assignments have been on the defensive side of the ball. After short stints as the head coach of the Patriots and Jets, Carroll's career was resurrected at USC, where he led the Trojans to the BCS title in 2005.

NVIDIA SHIELD Review
NVIDIA SHIELD Introduction:
When I saw the NVIDIA SHIELD at NVIDIA's Montreal Press Event, and specifically the newly released Console Mode, I proclaimed it to be the death of the Ouya. But that was under a controlled environment, set up by experienced NVIDIA engineers. Now that I've had some personal time with the device in my own home, do I still make that claim? Well you will just have to keep reading – you didn't think I'd actually spoil the surprise in the first paragraph, did you?
The NVIDIA SHIELD is a handheld Android gaming device, released on July 31, 2013. Since I typically review games and not hardware, you'll have to forgive me for not having professional photography equipment, but hopefully I faked it well enough.
NVIDIA SHIELD Closer Look:
While most buyers will likely purchase their SHIELD online, it is nice to see that NVIDIA still cares about presentation. The front of the predominantly black box features an almost life-size graphic (I measured) of an open SHIELD, proudly displaying a game in action. There's no mistaking this for anything but a gaming device. In the top left corner is "SHIELD" while the NVIDIA logo is in the top right. The back of the box features a closed SHIELD that is actually life-size, or pretty damn close to it. Across the top is a simple, yet bold statement in silver lettering: "Take Android Gaming to the Next Level."
You may have noticed the small green rectangles toward the bottom of both the front and back of the box. Yes, they wrap around to each other across the left side of the box, with the SHIELD name inside it and a small, black line-art icon of the device. While the box has thus far been pretty sparse on details, the right side fixes all that with the features, specifications, copyright, and barcodes. NVIDIA chose to highlight three features, including the powerful Tegra 4 processor, the integrated "console-grade" controller, and access to over 700,000 apps, movies, and games through GooglePlay. Curiously, there's no mention of PC game streaming, which is arguably one of SHIELD's greatest features. There's also no mention of Console Mode, but that's understandable since it was just released. Maybe NVIDIA will start slapping stickers on the box for the new features.
The top of the box is the nice bright green NVIDIA color we've come to know and love, with another tag line under the NVIDIA logo: "Inspired by Gamers. Built by NVIDIA." Flipping over to the bottom, a simple little plastic tab invites you to OPEN it – but not before you slice open the clear tape at the sides and slide off the outer sleeve.
Upon sliding off the outer sleeve, the only new image you'll see is a green-filled SHIELD icon. Get used to it because you'll be seeing that a lot. Finally listening to the OPEN tab, flipping up the top of the box reveals the SHIELD, on display like it's perched on its throne. Though it's a bit hard to make out in the image, the top lid has molded black cardboard inside to keep the SHIELD from jostling during transport. It also has a plethora of small, circular foam pieces to keep it nice and secure and prevent scratching. You may have also noticed that there is a green box inside the outer black box. I assume it is glued together, but I didn't want to tear it apart and ruin its nice construction.
Removing the SHIELD and the black cardboard it sits upon reveals a black envelope with that green SHIELD logo prominently displayed. Inside, you'll find the Registration and Warranty booklet, along with a Quick Start Guide that doubles as a poster on the reverse side, showing the basic functionality of the SHIELD's multitude of buttons. Beneath the envelope sits the only two accessories it comes packaged with: an AC adapter and USB charging cable. But these aren't your ordinary adapter and cable – NVIDIA once again adds its flair for design and craftsmanship. The top of the adapter has a silver metallic-like plate with the NVIDIA logo across it. The rest of the adapter is mostly a brushed black plastic, but with glossy black trapezoids on the sides. The USB cable looks like your standard micro-USB to USB cable, but the ends have that green SHIELD icon on them. Simple, but a nice touch.
The packaging and accessories are certainly well designed and constructed, but that's not what you care about. Now onto the SHIELD itself.

My son just turned 3 months old and was diagnosed with a suspected dairy intolerance. Increasing fussiness, fussing at the breast, mucusy poops, and waking early from naps with intestinal discomfort where his main symptoms. I am on my 9th day of dairy-free and overall he seems to be doing better, but not 100%. Today he has been a super fussy nurser and napper, and just had a mucusy poop. It seems like we have stretches that are back to normal and then they get worse again - is this normal? I know dairy can take a while to get out of our systems, but does that translate into this kind of two steps forward one step back kind of pattern? I get so happy when we seem to be making progress and then it crushes me when he starts to fight against nursing again...
My daughter had this too, but it was a while ago and complicated by severe reflux.
If there is a food allergy forum, does anyone know the link?

Wonder what's considered a normal part of the aging process? Here's what to expect as you get older — and what to do about it.
You know that aging will likely cause you to develop wrinkles and gray hair. But do you know how the aging process will affect your teeth, heart and sexuality? Find out what kind of changes you can expect in your body as you continue aging — and what you can do to promote good health at any age.
As you age, your heart rate becomes slightly slower, and your heart might become bigger. Your blood vessels and your arteries also become stiffer, causing your heart to work harder to pump blood through them. This can lead to high blood pressure (hypertension) and other cardiovascular problems.
To promote heart health:
With age, bones tend to shrink in size and density — which weakens them and makes them more susceptible to fracture. You might even become a bit shorter. Muscles generally lose strength and flexibility, and you might become less coordinated or have trouble balancing.
To promote bone, joint and muscle health:
Constipation is more common in older adults. Many factors can contribute to constipation, including a low-fiber diet, not drinking enough fluids and lack of exercise. Medications — such as diuretics and iron supplements — and certain medical conditions — such as diabetes and irritable bowel syndrome — also might contribute to constipation.
To prevent constipation:
Loss of bladder control (urinary incontinence) is common with aging. Certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, might contribute to incontinence — as can menopause, for women, and an enlarged prostate, for men.
To promote bladder and urinary tract health:
Memory might naturally become less efficient with age. It might take longer to learn new things or remember familiar words or names.
To keep your memory sharp:
If you're concerned about memory loss, consult your doctor.
With age, you might have difficulty focusing on objects that are close up. You might become more sensitive to glare and have trouble adapting to different levels of light. Aging also can affect your eye's lens, causing clouded vision (cataracts).
Your hearing also might diminish. You might have difficulty hearing high frequencies or following a conversation in a crowded room.
To promote eye and ear health:
Your gums might pull back (recede) from your teeth. Certain medications, such as those that treat allergies, asthma, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, can also cause dry mouth. As a result, your teeth and gums might become slightly more vulnerable to decay and infection.
To promote oral health:
With age, your skin thins and becomes less elastic and more fragile with a simultaneous decrease of fatty tissue just below the skin. You might notice that you bruise more easily. Decreased production of natural oils might make your skin drier. Wrinkles, age spots and small growths called skin tags are more common.
To promote healthy skin:
Maintaining a healthy weight is more difficult as you get older. As you age, your muscle mass decreases and body fat takes its place. Since fat tissue burns fewer calories than does muscle, you need fewer calories to maintain your current weight.
To maintain a healthy weight:
With age, sexual needs and performance might change. Illness or medication might affect your ability to enjoy sex. For women, vaginal dryness can make sex uncomfortable. For men, impotence might become a concern. It might take longer to get an erection, and erections might not be as firm as they used to be.
To promote your sexual health:
Remember, it's never too late to adopt a healthy lifestyle. You can't stop the aging process, but you might be able to minimize its impact by making healthy choices.

Cue our restraint from just slamming our hands on the keyboard, making confused and excited noises about Catching Fire, the dark, epic sequel to Hunger Games. (Look, we aren't passing judgments, but some people, like this author, liked the follow-up better than the original.)
Today, Hunger Games' official Instagram released the very first poster of Katniss, rendered in the same dreamy style as her character poster. Here, she stands on a cliff, bow in hand, waiting for battle. Above her reads a piece from the book: "The sun persists in rising, so I make myself stand." Behind Jennifer Lawrence are clouds in the shape of wings, foreshadowing the final book, Mockingjay. Be still our most anxiously beating hearts.

Break it Down! – Defense (2013/14 Edition)
Continuing on with my series of posts that break down the Oiler's different areas, today we look at the defense.
This was the problem area for the 2013 Oilers, and will still be the biggest issue for the 2013/14 Edmonton Oilers.
We have some prospect depth, but I just don't think we have the horses needed at the NHL level.
Lets take a look at what we have so far:

Planned Parenthood's latest publication EXCLAIM! is, as claimed by them, a young people's guide to 'Sexual Rights: an IPPF declaration' (International Planned Parenthood Federation). Or is it just a way for the largest abortion provider in America to drum up more business? I say the latter.
Planned Parenthood does so many despicable and disturbing things that I'm finding it hard to know where to begin: the lies, the deception, the killing of innocent life, the abetting of sex traffickers, the fraudulent overbilling, the concealment of statutory rape, and the disregard for parental consent to name a few.
This latest publication, Exclaim, pretty much wraps it all up. You see, Planned Parenthood has a philosophy, or as they put it, 'principles'. These principles guide everything they do as stated in the publication. They further explain that their principles are like the roots of a tree that feeds the tree and all the branches are all working towards a similar goal. So what are these principles?
1. Sexuality is an integral part of being human for all young people.
2. Sexuality and sexual pleasure are important for all young people, irrespective of reproductive desires.
3. The evolving capacities of children and young people must be recognized.
Given these three principles, it's clear why Planned Parenthood doesn't report statutory rape; they believe that the underage children have the sexual right to engage in sex at their young age, it's their decision (human right #2, The right to participate [in decisions that affect them]). It's also clear why they are against parental notification (human right #4, The right to privacy)
What's not so clear is why they stand up for the rights of some but not all. In the publication they state (human right #3, the right to life and to be free from harm) that "[e]veryone has the right to life, liberty and to be free from harm." It makes me wonder if they know that they are harming the babies they kill during an abortion and that they are harming the women that are having abortions?
This publication is full of contradictions, as Kristan Hawkins points out in her article, "The irony is this document is clear: IPPF states it believes that sexual rights are essential human rights to all, yet does not believe that all human beings deserve the right to born."
Amanda Pawloski also states in a separate article, "The guide also contains some self-contradictions. It cites the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, Article 5 that states, "Parties shall respect the responsibilities, rights and duties of parents." However, the guide insists that parents and the State are legally responsible for promoting a worldview and values that are held distinctively by IPPF. The guide demands liberalized abortion, self-identified (rather than biological) gender on identification papers, unrestricted access to contraceptives, and various other contentious claims."
I think that Planned Parenthood does and says whatever it wants as long as it advances their agenda and their profits. Besides, so many Americans aren't even paying attention. How else could they continue to make millions in profits with all the negative information about their practices and lies.
For those who aren't convinced, let's recap:
1. Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards said they do mammograms when in fact most do not.
2. Planned Parenthood was caught covering up child sex trafficking.
3. Pro-aborts lie, saying that if not for Planned Parenthood, poor women wouldn't be able to access medical care.
4. Planned Parenthood was caught accepting a donation specifically for the abortion of a Black baby.
5. Planned Parenthood was founded by Margaret Sanger, a racist and eugenicist. (Link 2)(Link 3)
6. 78% of Planned Parenthood's abortion facilities are located in minority neighborhoods.
A little research on the part of those wanting to educate themselves will yield much more information that Planned Parenthood doesn't want you to know about (see Maafa21 and Bloodmoney).
Planned Parenthood just wants to sexualize Americans and others in the world and now they are
letting us know that the agenda is the younger, the better. I've said it before and I'll say it again. The more people who are having sex, the more unwanted pregnancies we will have. It's a fact. All contraceptives have a failure rate; some are higher than other yet they all can fail. Planned Parenthood has done the math. If a certain contraceptive has a 10% failure rate and 100 people are having sex then you have 10 potential people who may want to have an abortion. Make it 1000 people having sex and the number jumps to 100 possible abortions, etc…
And for Planned Parenthood, the earlier they start to have sex, the better for this is good for business; they can market more contraceptives and abortions. As Kristan said, "A second glance at this stomach-churning document sheds a little more light into their model. Page 9 proudly declares that young people have an "evolving [sexual] capacity." While this may explain why IPPF has chosen to litter this document with pictures of young children, some who look as young as 9 or 10 years old, it is still pretty shocking considering the world-wide epidemic of child-age sex slavery."
And nobody is immune to their tactics. "Last year, the Girl Scouts became embroiled in controversy when another IPPF sex guide, called "Healthy, Happy, and Hot" was distributed at their side-event during the Commission on the Status of Women. The sex guide, targeted at youth living with HIV/AIDS, promotes masturbation, sex under the influence of drugs and alcohol, as well as not-disclosing one's HIV/AIDS status to one's partner." writes Amanda.
Americans better wake up. Parents better wake up. Your children are in danger. They are being targeted by Planned Parenthood for sexual indoctrination. If your child goes to a public school make sure you stay engaged to find out if Planned Parenthood has their foot (or contraceptives) in the door.

David Rowlands
David Rowlands has had a passion for sketching British soldiers and their equipment ever since he was a boy. After completing his studies at Manchester University in 1977, he joined the staff of the Reading Room at the National Army Museum, working full-time as a professional artist. Keenly interested in the history of British campaigns, uniforms and tactics, he has painted many historical battle scenes with great attention to accuracy and detail. This has resulted in widespread recognition of his work with the result that he has been commissioned to record the activities of many Regiments in the present day. These commissions have taken him frequently to Northern Ireland, as well as Germany, Cyprus, Hong Kong and Gibraltar. In 1991 David Rowlands was the only artist invited by the Army to visit the Gulf. Attached to a Warrior crew of 3rd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, he observed the work of the various Arms at first hand, enabling him to complete many accurate paintings for Regiments and Corps engaged in the conflict. Early in 1993 he was the first war artist to visit Bosnia and record the British troops in Operation GRAPPLE 1. Invited by Headquarters National Support Element, he travelled extensively on convoys and sketched the operations from Split to Vitez and Travnik. Several paintings have been commissioned by the participating units, including one of 7 Armoured Workshop REME at Gornji Vakul. Over the past ten years David has been sent regularly to Iraq and Afghanistan for projects involving many of the British and Nato forces. He has probably spent as much time overseas gathering information for these projects as he has spent in the UK. He is certainly one of the major military artists of the past 20 years. Many of these fine paintings are now available as signed edtion art prints and canvases.
