Why does Chris Judd get special treatment from the umpires and the review panel ? Last year when Carlton played the Crows at Footy Park he threw Richard Douglas in the fence near where I was sitting. After Richard got rid of the ball.There was no free kick no report for rough play.For these reasons plus his exceptional talent I put him in all my fantasy teams.

do special needs schools issue out report cards to students, too? just like regular schools? or do the daily reports in the students' individual notebooks, plus the quarterly ptc developmental documents discussed with and sent home to parents, act as their 'report cards'? are grades as important to them?

Media bias plus ACORN fraud=? NEW YORK -- John McCain supporters who believe they haven't gotten a fair shake from the media during the Republican's candidacy against Barack Obama have a new study to point to. Comments made by sources, voters, reporters and anchors that aired on ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts over the past two months reflected positively on Obama in 65 percent of cases, compared to in 31 percent of cases with regards to McCain, according to the Center for Media and Public Affairs. ABC's "World News" had more balance than NBC's "Nightly News" or the "CBS Evening News," the group said. Meanwhile, the first half of Fox News Channel's "Special Report" with Brit Hume showed more balance than any of the network broadcasters, although it was dominated by negative evaluations of both campaigns. The center didn't evaluate programs on CNN or MSNBC. "For whatever reason, the media are portraying Barack Obama as a better choice for president than John McCain," said Robert Lichter, a George Mason University professor and head of the center. "If you watch the evening news, you'd think you should vote for Obama." The center analyzed 979 separate news stories shown between Aug. 23 and Oct. 24, and excluded evaluations based on the campaign horse race, including mention of how the candidates were doing in polls. For instance, when a voter was interviewed on CBS Oct. 14 saying he thought Obama brought a freshness to Washington, that was chalked up as a pro-Obama comment. When NBC's Andrea Mitchell reported Oct. 1 that some conservatives say that Sarah Palin is not ready for prime-time, that's marked in the negative column for McCain. ABC recorded 57 percent favorable comments toward the Democrats, and 42 percent positive for the Republicans. NBC had 56 percent positive for the Democrats, 16 percent for the Republicans. CBS had 73 percent positive (Obama), versus 31 percent (McCain). Hume's telecast had 39 percent favorable comments for McCain and 28 percent positive for the Democratic ticket. It was the second study in two weeks to remark upon negative coverage for the McCain-Palin ticket. The Project for Excellence in Journalism concluded last week that McCain's coverage has been overwhelmingly negative since the conventions ended, while Obama's has been more mixed. Meanwhile, another survey issued Friday by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press showed that television continues to be Americans' main source for campaign news, particularly the cable news networks. But there were clear partisan differences in where people turned. For instance, of the people who said they got most of their campaign news from Fox News Channel, 52 percent identified themselves as Republican, 17 percent as Democrats and 30 percent as independents, the Pew center said. MSNBC viewers interested in campaign news identified themselves at 11 percent Republican, 50 percent Democratic and 36 percent independent. The breakdown for CNN: 13 percent Republican, 45 percent Democrat, 38 percent independent. The study was based on a survey of 2,011 people taken Oct. 17-20 and 24-27. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percent.

Why isn't ending Deforestation our Climate Change priority? Deforestation is the primary contributor to rising CO2 levels. There's a great deal of science to support this & it isn't disputed. Even the IPCC knows it. The ONLY way we're going to reduce the rise in CO2 is to STOP deforestation NOW. So why don't we do it? Is it because governments, UN/EU & business won't earn big bucks & power from doing so? PLEASE at least read the Independent Newspaper article below - it's the best piece on the subject I've read so far & is very well written. There's also a link to the IPCC's Special Report on this subject - it's very long, but if you have time & the will to read it it's very illuminating (& scary). The IPCC report states that at present rates our terrestrial CO2 sink will rapidly decline over the next 20 years & will be gone within 50 years - this means no more CO2 will be absorbed by the Earth. Plus that even with reforestation it takes 99 years for the land to function properly again as a CO2 sink... (cont)... (cont)... Our CO2 crisis has been caused by INCREASING DEFORESTATION since the early 1900s. It not only removes trees that absorb CO2, but exposes vegetation that releases CO2, then we put cattle on the cleared land that pump out methane, plus the whole meat industry then also contributes tonnes of CO2. This process is increasing as global population grows. We're also discovering the impact deforestation has on unbalancing weather, which causes hurricanes & heats the ocean - there is already a lot of good science to support this. So why aren't we STOPPING DEFORESTATION right NOW? We've totally fu*ked up the global ecosystem & now it's killing us. If we don't act NOW we're DEAD! http://environment.independent.co.uk/climate_change/article2539349.ece (The Independent 14 May 2007) 'Deforestation: The hidden cause of global warming' (quote) 'In the next 24 hours, deforestation will release as much CO2 into the atmosphere as 8 million people flying from London to New York. Stopping the loggers is the fastest & cheapest solution to climate change. So why are global leaders turning a blind eye to this crisis?'

What does the pro amnesty intend to do about this Mexican border region is experiencing raising crime rate? The federal government acknowledges that the United States-Mexican border region has been experiencing an alarming rise in the level of criminal cartel activity, including drug and human smuggling, which has placed significant additional burdens on Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies The U.S. border with Mexico extends nearly 2,000 miles along the southern borders of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. In most areas, the border is located in remote and sparsely populated areas of vast desert and rugged mountain terrain with vast open water of the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific oceans. The U.S. government admits that the border´s vast length and varied terrain poses significant challenges to U.S. law enforcement efforts to control the entry of individuals and goods into the United States. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is the federal agency with primary responsibility to detect and prevent illegal entry into the United States. The latest available data indicates that approximately 11,000 CBP agents patrol the nearly 6,000 miles of international border the United States shares with its neighbors Mexico and Canada.While the Southwest border hosts robust legal commercial activity, the border also is the site of violent criminal enterprises. These enterprises are carried out by organized criminal syndicates of Mexican/American cartels, gangs and international terrorist which include the smuggling of WMD's, drugs, humans, weapons, and cash across the U.S.Mexico border. With the latest available government static's reporting that during 2005, Border Patrol apprehended approximately 1.2 million illegal aliens; of those 165,000 were from countries other than Mexico. Of the non-Mexican aliens, approximately 650 were from so called special interest countries. Special interest countries are those "designated by the intelligence community as countries that could export individuals that could bring harm to our country in the way of terrorism." Global Terrorist And Drug Trafficking Cartels are a significant portion of illegal activity at the border that relates to illegal drug smuggling. The triple plus threat of drug smuggling, illegal and unknown crossers and rising violence are the reality facing communities. http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/52402

special education and bilingual services? i'm looking for information on special education and bilingual services. some things i'm interested in getting information about are: legislation mandating services for bilinguals/english language learners with special needs (or if legislation doesn't exist, and why it doesn't exist), programs in place for bilinguals/english language learners with special needs, and any other information that anyone has to offer. scholarly articles or websites are a plus, be it a link or the title of an article that i can look up. this is for a report and is something i'm very much interested in. thanks to anyone who can lead me in the right direction with some facts/research!

Will this work better plus save money & educate our "youngings"? You all remember Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona , who painted the jail cells pink and made the inmates wear pink prison garb. Well......... SHERIFF JOE IS AT IT AGAIN! Oh, there's MUCH more to know about Sheriff Joe! Maricopa County was spending approx. $18 million dollars a year on stray animals, like cats and dogs. Sheriff Joe offered to take the department over, and the County Supervisors said okay. The animal shelters are now all staffed and operated by prisoners. They feed and care for the strays. Every animal in his care is taken out and walked twice daily. He now has prisoners who are experts in animal nutrition and behavior. They give great classes for anyone who'd like to adopt an animal. He has literally taken stray dogs off the street, given them to the care of prisoners, and had them place in dog shows. The best part? His budget for the entire department is now under $3 million. Teresa and I adopted a Weimaraner from a Maricopa County shelter two years ago. He was neutered, and current on all shots, in great health, and even had a microchip inserted the day we got him. Cost us $78. The prisoners get the benefit of about $0.28 an hour for working, but most would work for free, just to be out of their cells for the day. Most of his budget is for utilities, building maintenance, etc. He pays the prisoners out of the fees collected for adopted animals. I have long wondered when the rest of the country would take a look at the way he runs the jail system, and copy some of his ideas. He has a huge farm, donated to the county years ago, where inmates can work, and they grow most of their own fresh vegetables and food, doing all the work and harvesting by hand. He has a pretty good sized hog farm, which provides meat, and fertilizer. It fertilizes the Christmas tree nursery, where prisoners work, and you can buy a living Christmas tree for $6 - $8 for the Holidays, and plant it later. We have six trees in our yard from the Prison. Yup, he was reelected last year with 83% of the vote. Now he's in trouble with the ACLU again. He painted all his buses and vehicles with a mural, that has a special hotline phone number painted on it, where you can call and report suspected illegal aliens. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement wasn't doing enough in his eyes, so he had 40 deputies trained specifically for enforcing immigration laws, started up his hotline, and bought 4 new buses just for hauling folks back to the border He's kind of a 'Git-R Dun' kind of Sheriff. TO THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOE ARPAIO HE IS THE MARICOPA ARIZONA COUNTY SHERIFF AND HE KEEPS GETTING ELECTED OVER AND OVER THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY: Sheriff Joe Arpaio (In Arizona ) who created the ' Tent City Jail': He has jail meals down to 40 cents a serving and charges the inmates for them. He stopped smoking and porno magazines in the jails. Took away their weights Cut off all but 'G' movies. He started chain gangs so the inmates could do free work on county and city projects. Then He Started Chain Gangs For Women So He Wouldn't Get Sued For Discrimination. He took away cable TV Until he found out there was A Federal Court Order that Required Cable TV For Jails So He Hooked Up The Cable TV Again Only Let In The Disney Channel And The Weather Channel. When asked why the weather channel He Replied, So They Will Know How Hot It's Gonna Be While They Are Working ON My Chain Gangs. He Cut Off Coffee Since It Has Zero Nutritional Value. When the inmates complained, he told them, 'This Isn't The Ritz/Carlton......If You Don't Like It, Don't Come Back.' More On The Arizona Sheriff: With Temperatures Being Even Hotter Than Usual In Phoenix (116 Degrees Just Set A New Record), the Associated Press Reports: About 2,000 Inmates Living In A Barbed-Wire-Surrounded Tent Encampment At The Maricopa County Jail Have Been Given Permission To Strip Down To Their Government-Issued Pink Boxer Shorts. On Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing boxers were either curled up on their bunk beds or chatted in the tents, which reached 138 Degrees Inside The Week Before. Many Were Also Swathed In Wet, Pink Towels As Sweat Collected On Their Chests And Dripped Down To Their PINK SOCKS. 'It Feels Like We Are In A Furnace,' Said James Zanzot, An Inmate Who Has Lived In The TENTS for 1 year. 'It's Inhumane.' Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy sheriff who created the tent city and long ago started making his prisoners wear pink, and eat bologna sandwiches, is not one bit sympathetic. He said Wednesday that he told all of the inmates: 'It's 120 Degrees In Iraq And Our Soldiers Are Living In Tents Too, And They Have To Wear Full Battle Gear, But They Didn't Commit Any Crimes,So Shut Your Mouths!' Way To Go, Sheriff! Maybe if all prisons were like this one there would be a lot less crime !!Q

is the economy really bad or do the reports only pertain to the wealthy? but what about us average folks? i live in a small town in ny state and i support a family of 5 with just my one job which pays about 30k per year (gross); we have poor credit and the same bills as anyone else plus child support and wage garnishment for credit debt and our cars are nothing special and we live check to check but we always manage to save for important things and we dont receive any benefits. in this area the average job pays about 22k annualy and unemployment/welfare rates have always been high. basically i havent noticed any change in lifestyle for people like us so who are the folks being most affected? small business owners? construction? finance? travel? all of which are things that dont affect people like me b/c we cant afford it. whats your take from my point of view? ATTN: TIGG my situation is not about standards its about being a good parent. i could either spend all my time at work and watch my children grow up through pictures just so i have a little money in the bank or i can stay at my job which affords us a good life(according to my"low" standards) and gives me more time off than at work and allows my wife and i to lay a great foundation of love and empathy and morals to ensure that our children grow up to be successful and productive adults. my children want for nothing and have all they need. my family ties are very strong and if we want to treat our kids to something special that we dont have the finances for then my wonderful will help and family is all that matters in life NOT money. maybe when you come down from your high horse youll realize that. thanks but no thanks TIGG

This information is taken from their annual reports. An annual report is a summary of a company’s financial results for the year along with its current financial condition and future plans. This report is directed to external users of financial information, but it also affects the actions and decisions of internal users. A company uses an annual report to showcase itself and its products. Many annual reports include attractive photos, diagrams, and illustrations related to the company. The primary objective of annual reports, however, is the financial section, which communicates much information about a company, with most data drawn from the accounting information system. The layout of an annual report’s financial section is fairly established and typically includes the following: Letter to Shareholders Financial History and Highlights Management Discussion and Analysis Management’s Report Report of Independent Accountants (Auditor’s Report) Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements List of Directors and Officers This appendix provides the financial statements for Krispy Kreme (plus selected notes), Tastykake, and Harley-Davidson. The appendix is organized as follows: Krispy Kreme A-2 through A-17 Tastykake A-18 through A-24 Harley-Davidson A-25 through A-30 Many assignments at the end of each chapter refer to information in this appendix. We encourage readers to spend time with these assignments; they are especially useful in showing the relevance and diversity of financial accounting and reporting. Special note: The SEC maintains the EDGAR (Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval) database at www.SEC.gov. The Form 10-K is the annual report form for most companies. It provides electronically accessible information. The Form 10-KSB is the annual report form filed by “small businesses.” It requires slightly less information than the Form 10-K. One of these forms must be filed within 90 days after the company’s fiscal year-end. (Forms 10-K405, 10-KT, 10-KT405, and 10-KSB405 are slight variations of the usual form due to certain regulations or rules.)

People of all religious persuasions and otherwise, how do you explain this? Someone recently asked a question about King David. I replied saying that King David was a polygamist and a philanderer. Not to mention a murder, a cheat, and a liar. Then I added: Here's something that should impress the Christians: He was also a flaming bi-sexual. Each of my allegations can be found in bible, either expressly or by biblical innuendo or by reading between the lines. My answer was reported and deleted. Plus I received a special Violation notice. The reason given: Misuse of question and answer format. Question, why didn't they give the reason as: Slander of the King or whatever? But how is it misuse of the question and answer format? .

Can Republicans/ Tea Partiers Answer These 10 Questions? 1. Can you be against Big Government and not press for reductions in the vast military budgets, fraught with bureaucratic and large contractors’ waste, fraud and abuse? Military spending now takes up half of the federal government’s operating budgets. The libertarian Cato Institute believes that to cut deficits, we have to also cut the defense budget. 2. Can you believe in the free market and not condemn hundreds of billions of dollars of corporate welfare-bailouts, subsidies, handouts, and giveaways? 3. Can you want to preserve the legitimate sovereignty of our country and not reject the trade agreements known as NAFTA and GATT (The World Trade Organization in Geneva, Switzerland) that scholars have described as the greatest surrender of local, state and national sovereignty in our history? 4. Can you be for law and order and not support a bigger and faster crackdown on the corporate crime wave, that needs more prosecutors and larger enforcement budgets to stop the stealing of taxpayers and consumer dollars so widely reported in the Wall Street Journal and Business Week? Law enforcement officials estimate that for every dollar for prosecution, seventeen to twenty dollars are returned. 5. Can you be against invasions of privacy by government and business without rejecting the provisions of the Patriot Act that leave you defenseless to constant unlawful snooping, appropriation of personal information and even search of your home without notification until 72 hours later? 6. Can you be against regulation of serious medical malpractice (over 100,000 lives lost a year, according to a study by Harvard physicians), unsafe drugs that have serious side effects or cause the very injury/illness they were sold to prevent, motor vehicles with defective brakes, tires and throttles, contaminated food from China, Mexico and domestic processors? 7. Can you keep calling for Freedom and yet tolerate control of your credit and other economic rights by hidden and arbitrary credit ratings and credit scores? What Freedom do you have when you have to sign industry-wide fine print one-sided “contracts” with your banks, insurance companies, car dealers, and credit card companies? Many of these contracts even block your Constitutional access to the courthouse. 8. Can you be for a new, clean system of politics and elections and still accept the Republican and Democratic Two Party dictatorship that is propped up by complex state laws, frivolous litigation and harassment to exclude from the ballot third parties and independent candidates who want reform, accountability, and stronger voices for the voters? 9. If you want a return to our Constitution—its principles of limited and separation of power and its emphasis on “We the People” in its preamble—can you still support Washington’s wars that have not been declared by Congress (Article I Section 8) or giving corporations equal rights with humans plus special privileges and immunities. The word “corporation” or “company” never appears in the Constitution. How can you support eminent domain powers given by governments to corporations over homeowners, or massive week-end bailouts by the Federal Reserve and Treasury Department of businesses, even reckless foreign banks, without receiving the authority and the appropriations from the Congress, as the Constitution requires? 10. You want less taxation and lower deficits. How can you succeed unless you stop big corporations from escaping their fair share of taxes by manipulating foreign jurisdictions against our tax laws, for example, or by letting trillions of dollars of speculation on Wall Street go without any sales tax, while you pay six, seven or eight percent sales tax on the necessities you buy in stores?

How does racism help the rich? Racist Unemployment Is Capitalism’s Executioner Print Thursday, 21 May 2009 15:56 How sick is the capitalist profit system? When the loss of 540,000 jobs in one month is considered “a good sign”! That’s how the economic pundits reacted to the government’s jobless figures for April, since they were allegedly lower than job losses for the previous two months. But even that figure is suspect. The fact is real unemployment — reported figures plus “hidden unemployment — has passed 30 million, over 20% (not the government’s phony 8.9%). The latter figure represents 13.5 million jobless. Then add the 8.9 million part-timers who can’t find full-time jobs, plus 5.8 million “discouraged” workers who have given up looking for non-existent jobs, plus at least two-thirds of the 2.4 million imprisoned for non-violent crimes, plus the hundreds of thousands of jobless youth who joined the military, plus those on welfare who are forced onto Workfare who are not counted among the unemployed. Add it all up, and it easily exceeds 30 million. This is “the longest, most punishing recession since the Great Depression.” (NY Times, 5/9; all statistics from that edition) How sick is this latest capitalist depression? Consider: * Nearly 10 million jobs will be needed just to get back to the “normal unemployment” at the start of the “recession” in 2007: the 5.7 million jobs already lost, plus the over 2 million jobs needed just to keep up with population growth, plus at least another 2 million jobs that will be cut before the economy may start growing again; * Children in poverty will rise from 18% to 27.3% by 2010; * Over 27% of the unemployed have been out of work for more than six months, the highest on record; * Wages have been stagnant, while millions have lost their homes and millions more are behind on mortgage payments; * “The employment picture for…men and women with four-year college degrees or higher is the worst on record,” now being labeled the “recession generation.” Racism’s Special Toll As has existed for generations among the last hired and first fired, racist discrimination takes a special toll on super-exploited black and Latino workers. If the “hidden unemployment” cited above is included, joblessness among black workers is at 30% and among Latino workers it’s 22.6% (doubling the “official” figures). Poverty among black children (39.5% in 2007) will exceed 50% when the “official” unemployment rate hits 10%. The brutal fact is that, “There are a lot of people who lost jobs [that] …are not coming back,” according to Obama’s Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, especially in manufacturing industries like auto and steel. Many “are going to be economically desperate for many years” (Economic Policy Institute), especially when unemployment benefits run out (and only 40% of the jobless are even eligible at all), when tens of millions of workers with no health insurance fall sick, and when millions more who’ve lost their homes become homeless. A 1971 Congressional study reported that for every 1.4% rise in unemployment, 30,000 workers die in the following five years. Amid this skyrocketing jobless rate, that means capitalism’s mass, racist unemployment will kill hundreds of thousands of workers in the near future. Truly the profit system is guilty of mass murder. And this is in the “most advanced” capitalist country. Unemployment worldwide is in the hundreds of millions. Several billion try to survive on a dollar or two a day. This is besides the millions slaughtered in imperialist oil wars which will occur as long as imperialism exists. No matter who’s in the ruling class’s White House, whether Republican Bush or Democrat Obama, unemployment and its gruesome consequences will go on and on, recession after depression…. Only the overthrow of the capitalist system by communist revolution, only a system without bosses and profits and racism and super-exploitation — communism — can free the world’s working class from the horrors of the murderous profit system. Again… Figures Don’t Lie, But Liars Can Figure Even the “official” figure of a “lower” amount of lost jobs in April is suspect. The government hired 72,000 people last month, mostly temporary workers to gather the 2010 census. When much of that is added into the reported 540,000 newly-unemployed, the total is well into the 600,000s. Moreover, the figure for March of 663,000 has now been revised to 699,000 and the one for February was upped from the initially-reported 651,000 to 681,000. So what will this April figure become when it is revised in a month or two? And none of these figures included the “hidden unemployed.” So much for the “good news.” Is this true?

What does this dream mean? Mass nosebleeds...? It was basically about an Armageddon-like plague. Everyone knew it was coming and so there was a special news report scheduled on it. We had all heard about it starting in places but hadn't seen it in person yet. They were calling it "gacial blood" which was basically bleeding from the nose in excessive amounts for no discernible reason. The weather was Armageddon-like too. I had to go out to the store/mall for some reason and had to drive through it. It was a downpour outside like nothing I've ever seen- especially in my coastal town with virtually no weather except sunshine. The streets were flooded with 4 feet plus of water is some places. I can still see the big brown leaves like the ones in our backyard from the avocado tree and palm prawns, etc... floating on top of the water as it rushed around. I drove my car through it and almost got stuck a few times. At the store/mall there was a big rush because there was all these free products that were supposed to be a Valentine's special but a lot of them were Christmas stuff. The only thing I got was a Christmas ornament to give to my son that year. As I was driving home through the flooding, I heard that it had actually started snowing and saw a few flakes coming down. It took a long time to get home and when I did, it was getting late and the news special had already started. "Home" was not my house- it was somewhere on the top floor of a bldg with roof access... and my mom was asleep on the bed with the special on TV. My 8 year old son was sitting there watching it. I watched it for maybe one minute before I freaked out. The people on the TV were dressed in black and down on their knees chanting and wiping the blood on the walls. The report was full of close up shots of people's blood covered fingers wiping on the wall and the streaks of blood all over the wall. People were deathly afraid and talking about the end of the world and the people chanting seemed to be praying to be saved, for forgiveness, or maybe even in reverence for the event. It was the most creepy thing I have ever seen in my life. I looked at my son's face and he was horrified and terrified. He wasn't crying but it was absolutely the worst thing I'd ever seen on his face by far. I woke my mom up and we changed the channel as quickly as we could to cartoons and I picked my baby boy up and acknowledged how awful what had been on the TV was. My mom was apologizing for falling asleep and not knowing he was there watching it. Of course she had no idea it would be so bad either. A commercial came on and the change made him think we had changed the channel back or that this channel was going to start talking about it too and he finally burst into tears. I carried him upstairs to the roof (the weather was fine now, though the streets were still flooded below- in fact, the weather may have still been going on but on the roof it was fine) and explained that it was just the commercial change and swearing I would not make or let him watch that again. As I was carrying him, I noticed that his tears were blood. I tried to wipe his face on my shirt but I knew he would notice quickly. Right as he did, my nose started bleeding. Then his did and a minute later my mom's did. I was trying to remain calm and tell him that we knew this was going to happen because it was happening to everyone and we weren't going to freak out and act like the people on TV but I was absolutely terrified of what it could mean/be. Thank God I woke up at this point. I think it was the worst dream I have ever had in my entire life. It is definitely an anxiety dream and it was definitely the night to have one of those, but I'm hoping someone can give me some insight into the more symbolic aspects of the dream...

Is female based sperm the only way for the human species to continue the species? http://timesonline.typepad.com/science/2009/07/test-tube-sperm-and-the-end-of-men-the-clue-is-in-the-question-mark.html Not that it's been proven (however an ABC special showcased a lesbian couple bearing a female baby made with tube sperm that had stemmed from one of the couple's stem cells), but in roads are being made, and I like to believe all scientific discoveries only lead to more innovation/progression... ...and with that said, does the human race secure existence by eliminating men and our capabilities to produce sperm? BTW, after reading this--plus various other reports--existential depression is quite normal, I think.

How many hours do you sleep a night? For decades, it has been reported that sleeping 8 hours or more per night is associated with health, restfullness, and longevity. Now a series of large-scale studies conducted in both the United States and Japan tell a different story (e.g., Ayas et al., 2003; Kripke et al., 2002; Patel et al., 2003; Tamakoshi & Ohno, 2004). Unlike older studies, these new studies did not include subjects who were a potential source of bias, for example, people who slept little because they were ill, depressed, or under stress. These studies started with a sample of healthy subjects and were studied for several years. Results show that sleeping 8 hours a night is not the healthy ideal it has assumed to be: The lowest risk of mortality, highest health, least medical problems, most physically fit, and most generally satisfied people slept 5-7 hours a night. (Keep in mind these studies were LARGE SCALE; i.e., not due to coincidence of a few subjects, nor bias). In fact, sleeping 8 hours a night or more (and also 4 hours or less) was linked to increased mortality rates, lower health rates, more medical problems, more unhealthy, and people who were not very satisfied with their lives. I'm expecting most of you to say you sleep 8 hours, or try hard to sleep them. You may find it difficult at first, but try sleeping less. I currently sleep 5.5-6 hrs a night, and I've never felt so energized and good about myself. I've now been doing it for a month. I wake up refreshed, ready to start the day, and don't yawn or feel tired during the day anymore. Before, I had a slight problem with being motivated to study (when I was sleeping 8-9 hrs a night) and always fell asleep in class---and I didn't know why! Now, I very very rarely ever yawn, don't fall asleep in lecture hall, and have the motivation I need to study hard and maintain a healthier lifestyle. I got my bf into it too, kind of as a couples challenge, and he even admits that he feels much more awake and lively during the day! Doing it with him and comparing actually made the task fun. =] Special note: Plus, in a society that is ever-busy, having an extra ~3 -4 hours hours a day has made a HUGE difference for me. Anyway...I really just recommend you try it. Are you willing to give it a shot? If you want to read more: check out "biopsychology" seventh edition, by John P.J. Pinel (sorry, I don't have the full reference, as the book is not currently at my disposal) or the studies I mentioned above.

And what's the positive side? * They are hard workers. Do you think that's good enough?

iPhone 4G, iPad, HTC Droid Incredible, Nintendo DSi, PSP GO, PSP 3000, and Xbox 360 Elite? I Can Pick Three!!!? I am a current PS3 Slim and Nintendo Wii owner and am looking for THREE new things to buy. SO REMEMBER THAT I CAN PICK THREE!!! I really just want the iPhone 3G for it's amazing upcoming features, especially because it has over one million apps, games, and music. I am almost 100% sure that the next generation iPhone is going to be running on the Verizon Wireless Network. Also, since the HTC Droid Incredible is running on the Verizon Wireless Network than be more than happy to recommend the HTC Droid Incredible and iPhone 4G together because than i could switch phones all the time and it would be pretty cool to have two of the best phones created on earth! So, two of my three could be the two phones! The iPad is a great device with a large screen and unbelievable fast internet processor! But, could i do school work on it because i go to school and i want the iPad because i think that it would be a great laptop alternative and that i can type a lot of reports on it, but if a laptop is better for reports, than please recommend a laptop.The Nintendo DSi is a great device with many exclusives that are not on the Nintendo Wii unlike the PSP, all the games are on the PS3. But, Nintendo is announcing the Nintendo 3DS which is the next generation for handheld consoles, so i want to get that, but still do not want to miss on the Nintendo DSi. I heard that the Nintendo 3DS is replacing the Nintendo DS Series and tha tthey are making special and new games for it.Plus, i do not know if the Nintendo 3DS will be a good sysem so should i just buy a Nintendo DS and then if i like the Nintendo 3DS should i then buy it? The PSP GO and PSP 3000 are two great devices, but what stinks is that they both have the same PS3 Games and most of the games that i like for the PSP are on my PS3. So, i do not know if that makes it worth it or not. I also heard that Sony is supposed to announce a new PSP to compete with the new upcoming Nintendo 3DS. So should i wait? The Xbox 360 Elite is a great system with great games and a better online experience (Xbox Live) But i am afraid that Microsoft will come out with a new system since it is about time for the new game consoles to come out but at teh same time it is not time for the new game consoles to come out because they are updating all the systems with new features which should extend there life cycle. There is still a chance that a new Xbox will come out. In 2005 i got a PS2 Slim and i never new that a PS3 is going to come out and then the PS3 comes out in 2006 and i want the PS3 because it s better than the PS2 Slim. So, i ask my parents and they say that i could not get it and that i could get it in three years. So, i just got my PS3 Slim in November which is the reason why i have the Slim and not the previous version. So, i always get things when they are old and do not want to experience this again. Anyway, thank you everybody and good luck answering my question. And just to let you know that if you just type what i should get and do not explain you are not going to get Best Answer, if you explain and put your time and effort then will give you the full ten points and five stars because you will then deserve it. SO PLEASE EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER AND REMEBER THAT I CAN PICK THREE THINGS!!! Thank you everybody and good luck!!!

i have motor tics but what should i do with this situation? i was diagnosed with motor tic syndrome when i was 7 when the school told my mom i was having seizures in class ( i got picked on a lot about it). my mom used 2 hit me when i would have the tic happen before she found out and kept doing it when she did. she thought if she continued to do that eventually it would stop ( mostly b/c she didnt want me to be put in special classes b/c of it), but it never did. she stopped hitting me when she realized it wasnt helping and was forced to give the school my medical reports. (i didnt have 2 go 2 special classes since it didnt affect me academically) anyway, she died a little over a year ago and i went 2 live in another family. they know that i had it but believe ive grown out of it. i really havent and would like 2 seek help 4 it b/c its umbearably noticeable and im embarrassed by it. i already told them that it hasnt gone away but i feel more strongly about it than they do. im 17 and can drive 2 the doctors office, but i have suckish insurance that doesnt pay for the visit and i already owe a lot. plus im not even sure a family doctor can help this. i just want something done so i can feel better.

Just some info for girls who love makeup and want to read about it!! Ha ha ok so I just went makeup shopping! I bought tons of stuff for $50!! I think that's a great bargain! I got...

Why not adopt the debt commission's report as a prerequisite for raising the debt ceiling? The final report from the Obama debt commission was approved by 11 of the 18 commission members on a strong bipartisan basis. Even those who voted for the plan, however, stressed there were parts of it that gave them "heartburn." But they voted for it anyway because they saw it as pushing the national conversation in the right direction. 30Email Print CommentOverall, the commission's plan would reduce the country's accumulated debt to 40% of the overall economy by 2035, down from the 185% currently projected. Here's a look at the report's topline recommendations for getting there: Spending Set targets: The report recommends that spending not exceed 21% of gross domestic product. Rein in spending: The report proposes close to $200 billion in domestic and defense spending cuts in 2015. That's a key way it would meet Obama's goal of working the annual deficit down to 3% of GDP by 2015. In fact, the final report would do one better, getting the deficit to less than 2.5%. Control health care costs: The report recommends capping growth in total federal health spending -- everything from Medicare to health insurance subsidies -- to the rate of economic growth plus 1%. It also proposes reforming physician payments, cost-sharing with Medicare beneficiaries, malpractice law and prescription drug costs. Taxes Set targets: The report recommends that taxes be capped at 21% of gross domestic product. Reform tax code: The report would lower income tax rates and simplify the tax code. It would abolish the Alternative Minimum Tax -- the so-called wealth tax -- and proposes either significantly reducing or eliminating the hundreds of tax breaks in the federal code that reduce federal revenue intake by more than $1 trillion a year. Raise gas tax: The report would raise the federal gas tax by 15 cents a gallon. It would dedicate the extra revenue to fund transportation and limit spending on projects to whatever has been collected by the increased tax that year. Social Security solvency The report aims to make Social Security solvent over 75 years. Take the Social Security quiz Benefits: It would reduce initial benefits for wealthier retirees. And it would offer less generous annual cost-of-living adjustments for all retirees. Retirement age: The plan would slowly usher in an increase in the retirement age from 67 to 68 by 2050 and to 69 by 2075. Over the same period, the early retirement age would increase gradually from 62 to 64. There would, however, those who are unable to work past age 62 would be offered "hardship exemptions." 0:00 /2:36'Era of deficit denial is over' Payroll tax: The report also recommends expanding over 40 years the amount of workers' income subject to the payroll tax, which funds Social Security. As a result, the amount of one's earnings subject to the payroll tax would rise to $190,000 in 2020, about $22,000 higher than it would be under current law. Protection against poverty: To prevent seniors from falling into poverty -- a key mission of the Social Security program -- the report proposes creating a new special minimum benefit. For low-income workers with 30 years of earnings, benefits could never fall below 125% of the poverty line in 2017, a level that would be indexed to wages thereafter. The formula would be reduced for workers with less than 30 years of earnings but more than 10. In addition, to reduce the risk that beneficiaries run out of funds if they live to a very old age or are disabled for a long time, the report proposes a "20-year benefit bump-up." After 20 years of collecting benefits, a beneficiary would receive a benefit increase equal to 5% of the average benefit paid. No changes before 2012 Think you're smart about deficits? Take the quiz The earliest any of the recommended spending measures would take effect would be in 2012. And no tax change would begin before 2013 -- a nod to concerns that the economic recovery is still too weak to withstand any sort of belt-tightening. "Budget cuts should start gradually so they don't interfere with the ongoing economic recovery. Growth is essential to restoring fiscal strength and balance."

Do we want REFORM ? Or the same old problems...? This is the current posting that went out to parents today 12/26/08 2. Door is OPEN- 5th Highest Overall Rated Idea for Change in America.. Posted by: "Michael E. Robinson, Sr." peace4kids@yahoo.com peace4kids Thu Dec 25, 2008 11:54 pm (PST) Listmembers, Throughout the last few weeks we have had several what I would call 'shocking' reports regarding the treatment of children with disabilities and as well the treatment and retaliation of those who try to help them. The CNN reports of time out rooms and cells should concern EVERY parent regardless of whether their child is disabled or not.. if for you have not looked at this site I believe you should, however awful it may be it is the horrifying truth for the children in our schools...regardles s of disability or none. http://www.cnn. com/2008/ US/12/17/ seclusion. rooms/index. html After viewing the article and seeing the video of the father of the child from GA. that died in one recently, it is not a 'fun' subject to discuss - but discussion must take place and action after such. The other very shocking news came to you in a post recently.. Regarding an Arizona Advocate that is facing 150 plus years prison in a retalitory action against him due to the fact he was a 'winning' advocate with not only a record of due process wins. The arresting of him with guns drawn is simply wrong. Haven't we had enough ? So, many parents and those on the Autism Spectrum have responded rallying the " Autism Reform Act of 2009 " , And relief for those that have been or are in Special Education or Disabled ". This is not a replacement for the ADA but I personally think the "ARA" should be an ACT that is reauthorized and continued after it has been made acceptable to the President Elect and the Legislative branch that will ratify and fund it. THE ACT IS CURRENTLY IN 5TH PLACE IN THE NATION FOR ALL IDEA'S FOR CHANGE IN AMERICA. In the 'Education' category it is 1st by almost 600 votes and almost 800 votes over the 3rd place idea that will also make it to the final round. We have made a statement as not only parents but also those on the spectrum or with other disabilities. I believe strongly that the 'force' of the movement of parents must at some point, and I believe the time is NOW, join together with the large population of those on the spectrum or disabled that are Adults. This is for them, and if we are going to speak for them they not only deserve a 'say' in it, they are needed for input that has already been crucial in revising the proposal in ways I believe will be more acceptable to the President-Elect and to the entire community that needs to merge..those with disabilities on the spectrum or not, and those that are parents of disabled children and are going through the education process. By looking at the 'finished product' or person that has gone through special education we get insight that we could only get from someone that has actually been in the students chair, been denied something unfairly as an adult such as SSI, being put on waiting lists for Medicaid waivers, and so on. How long should we just sit here and say " I don't like this part" " We can't fund this " (We've funded bailouts totaling a trillion plus when you include the fannie/freddie and we've also spent just as much/more on war) " This should be changed " (well email me or respond with some constructive input for a change or addition to the the ACT) "I just don't have time to read this post or concern myself with this because..... ..." (Our children and those that are older kids of ours come first, take the few moments and do what you can to make the difference.. Please) " I don't think the Aspies and others that are adults can make these kind of decisions " ( Believe me they can and already have !) So lets open our minds to the possibility of real " Change " , the kind that counts. Regardless of what political party we follow, regardless of what beliefs we have that are different " I like the GFCF diet " " I think HBOT is the way to go " " I think chelation is all that works " " All kids need a 1:1 aide (this may be close to very true for the younger kids on the spectrum and with other disabilities) ". REGARDLESS.. . we must join together and forget about indifferent feelings on subjects that will result in absolutely NO funding unless we come together in a strong accord and make something happen. This is not 'my' act.. as I've said before it belongs to the people, made by the people, and for the people. I'm just a concerned dad with a big mouth that types fast (but I can say enough is enough, time for change NOW) ! No more kids need to di The Purses are open, and we are paying over 2 trillion for wars and for bailing out companies that did not properly insure Americans anyway. Regardless of what Bullwinkle has to say the purse is OPEN and bailing out everything including Autism as in Jan. of 2010 all insurance companies will have to pay for Therapists even in the school. But there is much more to look at in the aspects of reform.

Can you recommend a professional advertising software for in-house design/marketing department? We're a small in-house design department for a growing med-large company. We're looking for professional multi-user software that will help us operate & collaborate more efficiently to do the following: - create monthly ad schedules that encompasses many markets (50+ newspaper & magazine type publications plus a few web ads). Totals the cost of all ads that month, Allows us to make special notes for special publication issues. - send out insertion orders to those publications. Insertion orders should include ad size, cost, ad name, run date, artwork due date, contract terms, a notes section, and Ad Rep & publication contact information, etc. Ideally retreived from a linked database for that publication. - a database to organize, manage & track advertising rates. Generates progressive reports on the fulfillment of those contracts, notifying me when a contract renewal is due. (list to be continued...) ... - manage & confirm our ads ran as ordered, allowing notes for when the tearsheet is reviewed allowing space to note print quality, placement, etc. of each ad. - generates list of due-dates for artwork. - serves as a general database for contact information, for self-compiled media-lists, our publication ad reps, and business vendors - manage & update editorial calendars for 50+ publications (ie special issues, run dates, publication schedules), etc. Currently we use a variety of MS Excel sheets and some frumpy "links" between the Excel sheets. We create PDFs from those sheets, but are hopeful there is a program out there that does most of this all in one organized place. Thanks!

Should the Remaining Iowa class battleships we reactivated-repost? (I Accidently clicked something wrong on my last post so i reposted this topic.) 1. An Iowa class battleship has way to much armor to be pierced by Cruise missile or harpoon. 2. The modern guns of the Battleship can rip a modern destroyer/cruiser in half, and a CV would be dead in the water after one hit. 3. True battleships can be targeted by Subs but that is why you usually have battleships screened by a destroyer or with subs, just like with any carrier fleet today. 4. Modern advances in the battleships could be made today at the cost little since ramjet projectiles have already been successfully tested and fired at 100nm. 5. Arguing the Battleships reactivation cost is useless since reactivation and modernization together costs as much as a modern missile frigate. 6. Manpower is a joke since it takes 5000+ men to run a CV when a Iowa class Battleship takes 1,921 men at maximum capacity (minimum is 800+) 7. A battleship can make decisions easier when invading on a beach easier than a destroyer using tomahawk missiles. 8. Battleships have all weather status and are not affected by any kind of weather including hurricanes. 9. A Battleships will only take 1-2 million a year to maintain. At the same time an aircraft carrier cost's several Millions to replace missiles and aircraft. 10. Reactivation and Modernization will only take 1-2 years. 11. Reactivation costs are $500 million and modernization is $2 billion. 12. to further Technology of the Battleships would cost an additional million if not less for the projectiles to be but into production. 13. True no such personnel know or are trained to operate a battleship main gun but can easily be taught. 14. Some reports have indicated a battleship's main guns could be used as anti aircraft if the time detonation fuses could be computer operated with its target and shoot 10mm sabot shells plus shrapnel when shell explodes. 15. Some 5" guns on the battleships could be removed to put more Phalanx CIWS on the ship to improve its anti-aircraft/ anti missile capabilies. 16. No ship or missile in the world is designed to take out the battleship with one shot or with many massed attacks. 17. Battleship Survivability since they use STS (special treated steel) of belt armor reinforced by large Bulk heads and Barbettes. 18. True the turrent on the USS Iowa did explode but it only did so little damage to the ship that it can easily be repaired and which was considered in the GAO Reports I read so that turrent has already been included into the math. 19. True Air Superiority is necessary but when it comes down to shore bombardment, Planes can be intercepted, sometimes ineffective economically and physically, and usually avoided by the enemy until the marines come on up to the shore to attack. 20. Currently building new battleships would be.....truly expensive depending upon their armaments and capabilities. 21. Surface ships were built for Naval presence, if we did not want Naval presence we would have built the arsenal ship back then but it can down to the fact that the arsenal ship could be easily struck by one harpoon missile and probably blow up the whole ship because of it's weak armor and heavy armament beyond it's own defensive capabilities to protect exposed weapons whereas the battleship can protect it's magazine and it's missiles with several anti-air/missile weapons and thick enough armor to make sure they don't explode by the bullet. 22. Iowa class battleships today cannot be compared with the ships of yesterday due to the fact that technology back then against aircraft was completely ineffective in most cases whereas today trying to hit a destroyer with a single harpoon is almost impossible but massed attacks would sink a destroyer after 1-3 hits of harpoons. 23. In history the iowa's have been praised for thier ability to put "steel on target" something that no other ship in the world is able to comprehend due to modern destroyers only shooting weak 5" guns and cruiser of the same, and some frigates only shooting 3" shells!

what do you think of this trade? im in a 16 team standard league and was offerd this trade: Eli Manning and Tim Hightower for Donovan Mcnabb What do you think of this trade? im leaning towards taking it because mcnabb is hurt and, although reports are that its nothing serious, i seriously think this could be an injury that lingers and bothers him for quite some time. Plus, with mcnabb out my backup is jason campbell, and i like eli better. Hightower isnt anything special but the fact is i need depth at RB with only mendenhall and jonathen stewart/fred jackson on my bench any given week. this league is extremely deep. there are no starting QBs on the waiver and no RB with any value either. trades are pretty much the only way to improve in this league

Should BP sell recovered spill oil on EBay? If there is something "special" and identifiable about recovered spill oil, I would think they could make more money selling it to the people who bought pet rocks than to a refiner that won't pay any more than the going rate for crude. Plus it might make the proceeds from the sale more identifiable and serve to make this noble gesture more transparent. "BP said it would use the net revenue made from selling the crude to fund wildlife protection efforts in four Gulf Coast states, the Associated Press reports." http://content.usatoday.com/communities/greenhouse/post/2010/06/spill-oil-bp/1

Does my story sound good to you? Honest Answers!? Hi, I'm only 11 years old (PLZPLZPLZPLZ dont report this i neeeeddd answers to this) and this is the story or book I've been working on since september. I'm almost done with it...but I want you guys to give me honest answers, if there are mistakes tell me lol. I don't think there are any. I used microsoft word 2003 so they would tell my mistakes and whatnot. So PLEASE honest and detailed answers get chosen for 10 points! thanx guys! One: Embarrassment I genuinely desire if I could amend my decision. I also regret my unfaithful choice. It was a precarious decision, but here I am, facing death every second I shift, for my unfulfilling idea was completely stupid. But maybe it wasn’t. Maybe—just maybe, that this choice was the right one after all, the choice that not getting my powers at the right time was a good way to go. Nonetheless, my life was put in grave danger that way. Maybe death is a choice for me anyway. My life has never been perfect; well I will just have to keep dreaming. Powers. At the age of 12, you start developing powers. Powers are a…well power that you progress. These powers are analogous to Super-Man, or Spider-Man, except we’re more modern, we don’t use them to save lives. Sometimes people have too control of them and they start causing trouble, if this happens you cinched up in a white room for years. You still are a normal human, but you have a sort of "sixth sense", as my dad calls it. I’m at the age of eighteen, and I still haven’t developed a solitary power…at all. This is because when you reach at age eleven, you prepare and get checked by certain medical persons, and they decide when your powers are going to establish, and it isn’t just a guess. They give you an exact date on when you’ll acquire that gift. And they had to hold me back on the process to get my powers. It’s very…embarrassing. I’m not going into details, but I do get picked on for this. But, not everyone gets powers…at all. "You will develop them---in the next seven months, Mr. Bradshaw." Dr. Pavlov said looking at his clipboard, then to me. I was in the section on the hospital where you get checked for powers. I didn’t care where. "I’d say you’d keep it cool, a couple of weeks from now you will get a letter saying the date when you develop. Sorry to keep you waiting so long." He said. "It’s okay, I’ve waited years for this day, I’m sure I can wait a few more months." I said in a limited laugh. "Okay, you’re free to go." He chuckled. I sauntered out of the white room. "So, when?" I heard dad ask as I walked seamlessly to the waiting room. "Seven more months," I grumbled. I was practically lying to the doctor. "Well, you can survive." Mom mouthed, then patting me on the back. "I guess." I said, rolling my eyes. My family…is the ordinary, all of the above type of family—except me. My dad, he works at a fitness program company and co-owns it. His confidant friend is the original owner; they both work out there also…every day in matter of fact. I don’t stay in touch with him a lot, I barley even see him a day. His power is mostly concerned on weight. He can also have visions on seeing images on a person’s past life. It’s sort of like reading minds, but rather on seeing images rather than reading or hearing. Mom…she works at a floral shop, just down the street. She hands out the flowers, plus she is like special at gardening. Flowers are mostly her personality, nothing much about mom. Her power is all about…well gardening. Yeah…that’s pretty weird isn’t it? But it’s the way it is, I guess. I really don’t actually know if mom has a power, I think it’s just her personality to garden… She never told me. My younger, pestering brother, Jeff, who’s fourteen, takes much on dad’s side. Let’s face it, he is more muscular than me, better looks, tanner, gets the girls (which every time I think of that I just roll my eyes), smart, and is…so called "popular". That explains most of him. The only think that bugs me the most is experiencing a brother who is more mature than me. He has powers, which is a shock-energy power, born in his blood to do it. Not surprised. I don’t really get it though. Oh, and me? The scrawny, little un-popular, not fit, or any of what Jeff got? I dunno. I’m practically jealous of him, to be honest. We jaunted home from the hospital, getting ready to move to a new destination. My dad’s co-company is moving, so we must as well. He’s taking most of the equipment along with him; mom is also going to make a business of her own, being a florist. Moving to a new location. Yippee. "Chris!" Mom called unexpectedly to me. "I need your help lifting some of these boxes! They’re unbelievably heavy!" Mom groaned. Yeah, like I could help, as helpless as I am. I thought, as I jogged to mom to "try" to help. "Where’s Jeff?" I asked while I panted. "He’s helping your father Ok i have had a few people it seems like Sky High.. but IT IS NOT!! if you were in my mind you would see its not like gay people trying to morph into things...I'm being serious about action, drama and a hint of romance

VIRGINITY!!i need to know more about it.? Okay....I'm a virgin. Me and my friend(who is also a virgin) was recently talking and she asked me "What's so special about being a virgin and what really changes after u not one?" Well i was like "well from what i know being a virgin u are considered 'pure' and idk what really changes besides not being 'pure'" Well can anyone give me some insight on virginity and the effects/and changes and stuff like that...i would appreciate it if people wouldn't leave ignorant answers...i wouldn't want to report anyone....links would be a plus...thanks in advance

They boy that killed 2 people over 1000 spankings: Opinions? Have you heard about the 8 year old boy that killed his father and a lodger in the home supposedly because of 1000 spankings? I was reading the article and was surprised at comments online like: "This is very sad and I hope the law takes into consideration the special motivations that led this child to murder his abusive father." This is my comment on the thing: "Am I the only one that thinks the kid is full of crap? 1,000 seems like an awfully nice big, round number for a kid to pick out of his head. To an 8 year old, 1000 is basically as big as it gets. The kid "Supposedly" kept track of all his beatings in a ledger - supposedly... So where is this ledger and if it exists, are there really that many spankings? Was the boy really beaten or did he just get smacks on the back of his head or his bottom? There's a difference. And, even if this child was abused, how is he absolved of a double homicide? Why didn't he report it to a teacher first? Plus, there is no mention in any article I read that the 39 year old male ever even touched him. So, why did the boy kill him if he killed his dad because of ''beatings''? Two people are dead, and we're upset that a kid got smacked?" Does anyone else agree with me? --- To read an article on the story: http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/262799#tab=article&sc=0&local= I'm definitely not saying that this child should have been beaten, but I don't think that this child should be excused for MURDERING two people. Beating children is horrible, but murder is worse.

Who is better? WWE or TNA? Please read the articles below. Roxxi is back in TNA full-time: As seen this past Thursday night on TNA iMPACT!, Nicole Raczynski returned to TNA as Roxxi, defeating Women's Knockout Champion ODB in a non-title match. Afterwards, she was assaulted by ODB, with her signature flask, before being saved by Tara. For those wondering, she is indeed back with the company full-time. Details for Tonight’s Knockouts-Only Impact Taping: TNA will be taping it’s special ‘New Year’s Knockout Eve’ special tonight at the Impact Zone. The four hour show will air on you guessed it, New Year’s Eve. The company has revealed details of the special and unlike what we had earlier reported, it won’t be a tag team tournament, rather a singles tournament for the #1 Contendership to the Knockouts Title. Apologies for the mistake. The tournament will feature 8 of the Knockouts in competition to determine who will challenge Tara for the Knockouts Title. As mentioned at the time of reporting, the company has been reaching out to different girls and will be bringing in some girls tonight for the show — what role they will play, I’m not sure because they have more than 8 girls on the roster to use in the tournament. Read the preview below: On New Years Eve (Thursday, December 31), TNA Wrestling counts down to 2010 with four hours of Total Nonstop Action on SpikeTV! The huge night will feature the TNA Knockouts in action in a one-night tournament to determined the #1 Contender for the Knockouts Championship. Plus, TNA Knockout Tag Team Champions Taylor Wilde and Sarita will be in action. We had previously been asked not to reveal the names until the spoilers came out but a few have been leaked already by other outlets. Of those names, we can confirm that Amber O’Neal and Lorelei Lee will be in action as a tag team. My guess is they will be Sarita and Taylor Wilde's opponents for the night. Check back tonight for full spoilers.

Help Me: Im 20 years old & my parents forcing me to go to church? As I sit here writing this no one in my family is talking to me nor have they spoken to me for the past three days. Here is my story:sorry it's long. I came home for spring break form college and didn't go to church with my family on Easter Sunday (I'm have doubts about organized religion) so this Sunday I didn't go neither so my parents sat my family down to have a "prayer meeting" they basically said that if I kept on this pattern I was destined for Hell. Then my dad proceeds to give my 18 year old sister 100 dollars for "good Christian" behavior because she goes but I don't. And told me I should be more like her. my sister just lost credit in her senior calculus class because she never goes and when she does she's late by 15 minutes her report card came in the mail on friday and she has yet to show it to them I found it in the trash she failed most of her classes (even gym) and she never had a job(doesn't want one unless it's Special & she can make her own hours) plus she lied to my parents about getting her acceptance letter from a college when the truth is she didn't even apply. (so basically there rewarding her for lying and bad grades) Me on the other hand I'm a biology major planing to go to medical school and I work and pay for everything for myself plus my grades are good and I play soccer (which helped me pay for most if my tuition)and I shadow Doctors on my free time at the university hospital in Chicago. My dad told me that even with all my education it means nothing if I don't go to church I still believe in God but don't want to be Baptist or follow their practices. I wanted to come home this summer and work plus take classes online through my college so I can start paying my student loan(5000) but I already brought my air plane tickets (I'm originally from new jersey but i go to college in chicago) I have no place else to stay but with my parents for the summer.(which they threaten to kick me out if I don't start going) how can I make them understand I'm not interested In church at the moment and that i am an adult -for God's sake im going to be some body's Doctor someday you would think they would trust me to make my own choices-I know if I go I'm going to be mad about it and it's going to show. I'm not good at hiding my feelings when I feel strongly about something. And my sister was loving ever second of this-please no rude comments Me on the other hand I Yes I know it's not going to KILL me to go to church but it's not soely based on religion my parents are using this as another way to have CONTROL over me (what to think wear who I can see how to behave) I'm 20 and have to be in the house by 9:30 even when I'm away at college they expect me in the dorms at that time.

Correct this report! (If you're good at grammar and stuff obviously XP)? I have to do a task in which I am enrolled in the character of an organiser of a charity organization. I have to report the Board of Governors describing a fund-raising day and give recommendations mainly. I think I don’t sound like that, but this is what I could make up: Correct any mistake, mainly the ones related to coherence, to see if all in all achieves its purpose (it doesn’t do it at all, so replace sentences or paragraphs if you can think of a better one). Oh, I think I repeated too much words like “activity”, to which I couldn’t find a good synonym... I tried to avoid naming it... Well... thanks. """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""... REPORT ON OUR CHARITY ORGANISATION INTRODUCTION The aims of this report are to: 1 Give an overview of the organisation. 2 Provide general information related to the last event. 3 Make recommendations for what to de next year. WHAT THE ORGANIZATION IS ABOUT This charity organisation raises money in order to lend a hand to disadvantaged children, arranging different activities in which people get involved both contributing financially and having fun. ULTIMATE FUND-RAISING DAY Plus, this year it was decided to invest what has been earned during the last months in a day-long event. PARTICIPATION About 50 volunteers took part in this campaign with a commendable effort and a remarkable sense of cooperation, most of who were students from university. Besides, many people joined us through a recently uploaded webpage that gives them the chance to be concerned in the organisation’s activity with the possibility of participating in projects and have the main information available. MONEY RAISING The total raised exceeded by far the correspondent to previous years. The most profitable activity was collecting which included: - The house-to-house system, represented by the 40% of the earnings. - Street collection (((what to say about this??))) A large amount of money is attributed to jumble sale, the latest added activity. Familiar parties and matches as well as raffles had a bare participation small amount. CONCLUSION (((Idk what to put here without being repetitive... what could I?)) RECOMMENDATION My advice for next year is the following: 1 An increase in the variety of activities that make participation of the community more accessible would help. Some proposals are: - Half-yearly street parties - The option of donating costumers’ loose change through a link to computerized markets. good contribution would be an 2 A trademark should be launched: collectors would be provided with special badges, which ought to be considered carefully, so as to avoid distrust from some people. """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""... Activate BLOQ MAYUS for capital letters so that I notice what you add/replace, please. (Yeah, I am not an English native speaker). HDC: I have to avoid mixing dialects, so I chose British English. That’s why “organisation” has that spelling. If there is an exclusively American word that I used in this text, you ought to have told me. Therefore, I don’t find the point of changing the word into “organization”. Is it so difficult to type in capital letters? The way I wrote the money raising paragraph is according to some info developed in certain way is according to what the exercise say: %s and the word “collection” alone...

I am part black, but I don't care about the black community? I just dont see what the point in caring is, I don't live there, plus have my own problems to deal with, so I don't have time to worry about someone else's kids or financial problems. I feel guilty about this sometimes, but I am just being honest. I have never had to deal with half of the problems reported on tv specials and talk shows, so I just don't identify with them. I also think it's silly that some black people assume I will be nice/help them to them just because I am part black, I don't know them, they are not "my people", plus most non black people just think I am latino or eurasian.

Preperation for Performing Arts College? HI, I am a freshman and I am already very interested in preparing for college. I'm thinking NYU: Tisch School of Arts, AMDA, Emerson, RADA, Juilliard...etc. I get very good grades. Last report card I got straight A's and this coming report card I will probably get one B (but again I have 4 years ahead of me) I am involved in activities (Student Govt, Chorus, Piano). I have been acting since I was 11 and this spring will be my tenth show since 5th grade. I am also starting vocal lessons with my choral teacher. I also may start priavate dance (Do you think four years of dance will be enough to audition well because I am interested in the musical theater program) This spring I will be working with a special needs baseball league plus I will be volunteering at a nursing home over the summer. Is their any must for these prestigious colleges? My top one so far is NYU but again I'm just a freshman and I haven't visited any of them. Thanks in advance.

Can anyone explain why the think this question might've been reported?? Whats a boys name and a girls name you've always had picked as your first child's name?? I've always thought I'd call my daughter Rori if I had her out of wedlock. But if I was married I've always liked the names Layla or Ava, and Declan for a boy! <3 Additional information: I'd call my daughter if I had her out of wedlock Rori because I love the show Gilmore Girls if that makes anyone offended or curious. Plus I think if I had a child out of wedlock that would be my only child, and I think that Rori is a pretty name to give to my only and very special daughter. (If that offends anyone I'm sorry, that's just what I believe) (There was no reason as to why this question was reported and I am really confused why it was myself. Can anyone tell me why they think it might've been??)

Need help with my english paper! It's due tomorrow!? I'm in 10th grade honors english. We had to write a paper on how greeks influenced our culture. I picked 3 ways. Can you help me edit this in any sort of way? I neeeed an A. Plus, I definitely need help thinking of a better conlcusion. I'll give a best answer. Please help, thank you sooo much! xoxo Allie Greeks have influenced us in many ways such as epic poetry, mathematical theorems, and they even revolutionized the way we think about science and philosophy. Not many people realized this, but the majority of everything we see today has been shaped by ancient Greeks. In special editions of U.S. News and World Report, several examples are given. Some of the main ways that we’ve been influenced are in architecture, theatre, and politics. Greeks cared a lot about, and put a lot of effort into architecture. When they built buildings, they used many different techniques. They developed the style of building with columns. Their buildings also often included optical illusions. In the article “Bringing a Passion for Order to Classical Art” by Angie C. Marek, it states, “In Ancient Greece, artists demonstrated a singular talent for bringing order and discipline to depictions of the world beyond their palettes” (pg 2). We can thank Greeks for architectural advancements such as columns, domes, and arches. Another thing that the Greeks have brought to us is tragedies. Tragedy was a genre of theatre that had its earliest beginnings in Athens. It was intended to be presented in a theater before an audience. Back then, they would perform plays that ended in misfortune. They also used to kill off the bad characters, or antagonists, just like modern plays do. In the article “A Revolution on the Stage”, it says, “In recent years, theatergoers have flocked to see A-list actresses interpret the characters in Medea” (pg 3). This shows that even today, we’re being impacted by Greek plays. In the article “The Gift That Was Greece”, Oscar Wilde said, “Whatever, in fact, is modern in our life, we owe it to the Greeks” (Headden 2). The earliest democracy in the world began in Athens. They believed that all people should have the right of advancement, political decisions, and the right to serve the public. They also had common people participate in their government and to elect a leader. When democracy proved to be successful in Athens, many other city-states chose it for their government too. This way of government has carried on into our culture. In conclusion, the ancient Greeks influenced us in numerous different ways. They’ve introduced new ways of building. Also, they impacted our plays by introducing tragedies. And lastly, they gave us the democratic form of government.

Case 2 - APES 110 (20 marks) Maximum 1000 words? John Jones is a senior audit partner in a local audit firm and is planning to retire in 12 months time. He is well respected by a number of his clients and as a result has been offered a position on the board of ABC Pty Ltd (a listed company), to take effect immediately earning him fees of $20,000 plus 2000 shares (2% of the company's total shares). Furthermore, as a way of introducing him to the other members of the board they have agreed to pay his air fares and accommodation to the next board meeting to be held in 2 months. Currently the audit firm provides other financial services such as taxation and IT consulting for the general accounting software, legal services and employs a number of recently qualified accountants to assist in collecting data for an audit and to provide bookkeeping services for preparing the financial report. Also, various clients engage the auditing firm to provide valuation services for assets that form part of the financial report and give advice on what board recommendations should be implemented. For example, the auditor is asked to provide advice on marketing strategy. It should be noted that while the accountants were completing work for the annual accounts they were under the direct control of the company management. It has also been agreed with the other partners in the audit firm that John Jones will be paid a bonus on retirement if he can grow his client base by 25% in the 12 months leading up to his retirement. In order to achieve this John was engaged in an extensive advertising campaign where he offered all prospective clients different auditing packages which depended on how much the client was willing to pay for the audit. In order to secure a new client that would bring in an additional 20% of total fees for the firm, the client was offered a separate proposal, this being extended payment terms for paying the audit fee and an agreement that the time for auditing the accounts would not exceed three weeks. Required 1.Identify any professional standards and regulatory requirements that may have been breached. Make special reference to factors affecting auditor independence. 2.What action should John Jones take to avoid potential threats or risks to his objectivity?

Disability discrimination towards people with medical disabilities? Let's not confuse what I am asking you to answer. In the course Bible studies at Sydney University the point is not that people with medical disabilities do not want to study from their own choice of Univ. But that this Univ has denied people with medical disabilities to study from home as the 75 % requirment to study that course in person is NOT what people who have specific disabilities can comply to do. Plus, the University should make allowances as they have special consideration for people with disabilities and when medical reports are given they waiver the course requirement. So, the disability discrimination Act does require disabled people who cannot meet that requirement to attend in person to COMPLY. That is the point as simple as that , so study from home should be given and the requirement waivered so that study can flow from home : rather than cause person to suffer in a inhumane way by forcing them to comply when disability would prevent the person to do so. Any other people with medical disability who are denied study from home by this Univ should be having a say to voice rights too.

How's This For Motivation? Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything: tutors, flash cards, special learning centers. In a last-ditch effort, they took Tommy and enrolled him in the local Catholic school. After the first day, Little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn't kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. His mother was amazed. She called him to dinner. To her shock, the minute he was done he marched back to his room without a word and in no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day while his mother tried to understand what made all the difference. Finally, Little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly laid it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. With great trepidation, his mom looked at it. To her surprise, little Tommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity. She went to his room and said, "Son, what was it? Was it the nuns?" Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, "No!" "Well, then," she asked, "was it the books, the discipline, the structure, the uniforms? WHAT was it?" Little Tommy looked at her and said, "Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren't fooling around!"

Mythbusters 'Tornado/straw through tree' wrong? I seen the episode where they tested ia Broom Straw can go through a tree during a tornado. They used thier special cannons and showd that it was 'Busted' They forgot a few things. In a tornado there are more forces at play then just speed and velocity. There are extreme pressure changes, and not to mention, many believe tornadoes may have supernatural forces as well. Many will say, 'It seemed like it was alive and knew what it was doing' Plus it wasnt just one incident. Many many times peoople have reported, and I have seen a straw with my own eyes through a tree. So how can they just assume that is answerd in the few tests that they do?

The boy who couldn't learn math? A dad was talking to his child. "Son, your mom and I are at our wits' end. We've tried special classes, tutors, bribery, discipline, but you still get F's in math. So, we've decided to send you to Catholic school." The boy is very upset at this, but he knows his own record, and Dad's in charge, so off he goes. From day one, he works hard. He does his homework. He uses his flashcards. He even does extra credit work. When his report card from the Catholic school comes, no surprise - he gets all A's in math. His dad sits down with his son, "We're proud of you, son. We knew you could do it, we just didn't know how to convince you. But your mom and I are curious about what exactly helped you. Were they nice? strict? Was it quiet, or did you get extra help? What turned the key and made you decide to apply yourself to math?" "Well, Dad," the boy answers, "I guess I never took math seriously before. But that first day, when I walked into that classroom and saw that guy they nailed to the plus sign...."

Has anyone ever tried vi-pro plus on a dog with distemper if so what was result? Vi-Pro Plus Natural and Effective Help for Canine Distemper and Viral Infections Use Vi-Pro Plus for Pets: As an oral homeopathic vaccine to immunize your dog against Canine Distemper and other viral infections To protect against Distemper infection during a known outbreak To treat active Canine Distemper under veterinarian supervision See Below To Purchase This Product Treatment | Testimonials | Ingredients | Dosage | Ask Us | FAQ's What is Canine Distemper and what are the symptoms? Canine distemper is a highly contagious, extremely serious viral disease which occurs in dogs and other wild canids (e.g.. foxes, wolves and coyotes), raccoons, skunks and ferrets. It is an airborne virus, which affects the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and central nervous system of the animal. Puppies between three and six months and elderly animals are particularly at risk. Symptoms grow increasingly severe as the disease progresses, they include: Conjunctivitis (a watery, pus-like eye discharge) and inflammation of the eye Fever Nasal discharge Pneumonia (Coughing and labored breathing)_ Lethargy Reduced appetite Vomiting Diarrhea Seizures Hyperesthesia (increased sensitivity to sensory stimuli, such as pain or touch) Muscle twitching Progressive deterioration of mental abilities and motor skills Complete or partial paralysis What is the conventional treatment? There is no doubt that Canine Distemper is a serious illness. According to conventional veterinarian treatment, about 50% of dogs that contract it will die. Those that survive will often be left with debilitating conditions like permanent digestive problems, neurological problems, seizure disorders, deformities of the paw pads, etc. According to conventional veterinarian science, Distemper 'cannot be cured' and treatment is supportive only. Vaccination programs against Canine Distemper have made this viral illness less common in recent times. However, holistic vets point out that there are serious concerns about the wisdom of routine vaccination and its long term effect on the health of pets. What are the alternatives? Homeopathic vets have managed to treat Canine Distemper far more successfully than their allopathic counterparts. Using Distemperinum in homeopathic potency, both immunization of dogs as well as recovery rates in infected animals has proved to be highly successful. There is a wealth of evidence that this is the case and one can only wonder why allopathic vets are not making use of and being trained in the use of homeopathic medicine for their patients. Dr Horace B.F. Jervis, a veterinarian who pioneered the use of Distemperinum published a monograph in 1929 called 'Treatment of Canine Distemper with the Potentized Virus' Dr Jervis reports his frustration over many failed attempts at treating Canine Distemper during years of conventional treatment in a veterinarian clinic. This lead him to turn away from conventional veterinarian science and to begin treating his patients using the principles of homeopathic medicine. After developing a homeopathic treatment for Distemper, Dr Jervis writes: "I became intensely interested in the subject and bent all my energies to the study of it. My results were, and are, so much beyond my expectations that I am sorry not to be able to interest more veterinarians to take it up and give it a trial. Anyone doing so, I venture to say, will never go back to the old school again...Since commencing the use of this product the death rate in my distemper ward has been very materially decreased, and I have really for the first time in my years of practice felt a sort of load being lifted from my shoulders." Similarly, Dr Dorothy Shepherd, in her book, "Homeopathy in Epidemic Diseases" notes: "Here again homeopathy offers the best solution. Believe me, it has been shown again and again that our medicines given intelligently and according to our law, do not only cure infectious diseases speedily and easily without the development of any complications, but they also prevent these same diseases. ....I therefore have no hesitation in stating that from my own experience and observation, the homeopathic preventives are much safer in use, and absolutely certain in their effects. Even should the infectious, disease develop, it will be in a much milder form" In the words of Dr Richard Pitcairn, D.V.M., Ph.D, and founder of the Animal Natural Health Center (ANHC): "Based on my clinical experience, I think I can safely say that protection with nosodes is as reliable as with vaccinations and with the added advantage of few unwelcome side effects." What is Vi-Pro Plus? Vi-Pro Plus combines a Distemperinum nosode in homeopathic dose with homeopathic Bryonia and an herbal preparation of Echinacea, providing powerful protection against Distemper as well as many other viral illnesses. Used preventatively to immunize your dog, or curatively under the treatment of a homeopathic vet, Vi-Pro Plus can mean the difference between life and death. 50ml See Below To Purchase This Product What are the ingredients of Vi-Pro Plus? PetAlive Vi-Pro Plus contains the following 100% herbal and homeopathic ingredients: Distemperinum C30 is a homeopathic nosode used both prophylactically (preventatively) and curatively in the treatment of Canine Distemper. Homeopathic nosodes are similar to vaccines in that they help to build protection and resistance against specific diseases. They differ to conventional vaccines in that they are usually manufactured from the products of diseases rather than from a culture of the disease agent or virus itself (as in many conventional vaccines.) Research by Dr Horace B. F. Jervis, a veterinarian that pioneered the use of Distemperinum, has demonstrated the high rate of success in the treatment and prevention of Canine Distemper using this homeopathic 'vaccine'. This is in contrast to conventional veterinarian science, which states that more than 50% of dogs who contract this virus will die and the remainder will be very severely compromised for the rest of their lives. Bryonia C6 is a proven homeopathic remedy which is very effective for the treatment of coughs and dry mucus membranes, as well as the clearing of mucus from the chest. Echinacea purpurea is one of the top selling herbs for the treatment of colds, flu and other viral infections. Clinical trials have proved its effectiveness in a variety of settings. Studies have shown that Echinacea works by preventing the formation of hyaluronidase - an enzyme that is known to break the cell barriers between healthy tissue and pathogenic organisms like viruses. This immune boosting herb has also been successfully used to restore immune functioning in patients who have undergone chemotherapy.

"I am moved to write in and say that our family dog would probably not be with us today were it not for this remedy. When our usual vet diagnosed a very ill dog with Distemper things looked very serious and he thought so too. Under his supervision we used your remedy because others have worked very well and we have all been amazed at the quick recovery. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts." - Sandy. "Luckily our vet agrees with us about yearly vaccination unlike the previous one who wanted to vaccinate every year. Our puppy is taking your Vi-Pro for Distemper to protect her against distemper and other viruses and we are confident that it will be as successful as your other products have been, including your EasyTravel for car sickness!" - Graham "This product is fantastic - from ease of administration to effectiveness it gets 10/10 from me. I have used all your oral vaccination products for my dogs with great confidence and they remain healthy and disease free." - Brent. "Here's my story. I bought a dog from a breeder in kentucky I am in Louisiana. I could not drive to meet [him] , so I decided to have him sent via airplane... The next day he started to have a seizure it was very unnerving. The Vet did some blood work and other test. He determined that our brand new dog that we instantly fell in love with had distemper and would most likely die or not be normal for the rest of his life if we were lucky. We don't have alot of money and they were recomending very expensive treatments. We being the good loving people we are turned to God in this circumstance. We searched for answers online, and by praying nonstop. Finally my mom who is a diehard holistic medicine believer turn us on to the thought of a natural cure. So, I searched and it did not take long. I found this site and was skeptical, because I am by nature. Well needless to say It came in the mail very fast. Then we begain treating him. Nothing happened at first, same old seizures 5 to ten times a day. Then one day he we woke up to him being more active... Now I am happy and blessed to say we have a wonderful healthy almost 1 year old puppy. He has made a full recovery... He brings much happiness to our home, and I truly feel this medicine had a part in that. God bless Native Remedies." - Richard M, LA "My dog was diagnosed with distemper. She became deathly ill! She wouldn't eat, or drink. Thinking I had done everything possible to save her, my last attempt was Vi-pro Plus. After just a few doses I saw the effect it made. She gradually got better and better. Without a doubt; Vi-pro plus saved her life. Thank you so much for saving my dogs life! She is happy, and full of life again." - Paige, Oklahoma Add Your Own Testimonial See Below To Purchase This Product How do we use Vi-Pro Plus? Vi-Pro Plus in convenient dissolvable granule form.

The Department shall base such ambient air quality standards on World Health Organization (WHO) standards, but shall not be limited to nor be less stringent than such standards. SEC. 13. Emission Charge System. - The Department, in case of industrial dischargers, and the Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC), in case of motor vehicle dischargers, shall, based on environmental techniques, design, impose on and collect regular emission fees from said dischargers as part of the emission permitting system or vehicle registration renewal system, as the case may be. The system shall encourage the industries and motor vehicles to abate, reduce, or prevent pollution. The basis of the fees include, but is not limited to, the volume and toxicity of any emitted pollutant. Industries, which shall install pollution control devices or retrofit their existing facilities with mechanisms that reduce pollution shall be entitled to tax incentives such as but not limited total credits and/or accelerated depreciation deductions. SEC. 14 Air Quality Management Fund. - An Air Quality Management Fund to be administered by the Department as a special account in the National Treasury is hereby established to finance containment, removal, and clean-up operations of the Government in air pollution cases, guarantee restoration of ecosystems and rehabilitate areas affected by the acts of violators of this Act, to support research, enforcement and monitoring activities and capabilities of the relevant agencies, as well as to provide technical assistance to the relevant agencies. Such fund may likewise be allocated per airshed for the undertakings herein stated. The Fund shall be sourced from the fines imposed and damages awarded to the Republic of the Philippines by the Pollution Adjudication Board (PAB), proceeds of licenses and permits issued by the Department under this Act, emission fees and from donations, endowments and grants in the forms of contributions. Contributions to the Fund shall be exempted from donor taxes and all other taxes, charges or fees imposed by the Government. SEC. 15. Air Pollution Research and Development Program. - The Department, in coordination with the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), other agencies, the private sector, the academe, NGO's and PO's, shall establish a National Research and Development Program for the prevention and control of air pollution. The Department shall give special emphasis to research on and the development of improved methods having industry-wide application for the prevention and control of air pollution.

How many hours do you sleep a night? For decades, it has been reported that sleeping 8 hours or more per night is associated with health, restfullness, and longevity. Now a series of large-scale studies conducted in both the United States and Japan tell a different story (e.g., Ayas et al., 2003; Kripke et al., 2002; Patel et al., 2003; Tamakoshi & Ohno, 2004). Unlike older studies, these new studies did not include subjects who were a potential source of bias, for example, people who slept little because they were ill, depressed, or under stress. These studies started with a sample of healthy subjects and were studied for several years. Results show that sleeping 8 hours a night is not the healthy ideal it has assumed to be: The lowest risk of mortality, highest health, least medical problems, most physically fit, and most generally satisfied people slept 5-7 hours a night. (Keep in mind these studies were LARGE SCALE; i.e., not due to coincidence of a few subjects, nor bias). In fact, sleeping 8 hours a night or more (and also 4 hours or less) was linked to increased mortality rates, lower health rates, more medical problems, more unhealthy, and people who were not very satisfied with their lives. I'm expecting most of you to say you sleep 8 hours, or try hard to sleep them. You may find it difficult at first, but try sleeping less. I currently sleep 5.5-6 hrs a night, and I've never felt so energized and good about myself. I've now been doing it for a month. I wake up refreshed, ready to start the day, and don't yawn or feel tired during the day anymore. Before, I had a slight problem with being motivated to study (when I was sleeping 8-9 hrs a night) and always fell asleep in class---and I didn't know why! Special note: Plus, in a society that is ever-busy, having an extra ~3 -4 hours hours a day has made a HUGE difference for me. Anyway...I really just recommend you try it. Are you willing to give it a shot? If you want to read more: check out "biopsychology" seventh edition, by John P.J. Pinel (sorry, I don't have the full reference, as the book is not currently at my disposal) or the studies I mentioned above. **Now I don't have the yawning, sleeping in lecture hall, nor motivation loss. Plus, my grade average on my recent projects went up from a B-average to an A average.

EXTRA HELP When Special Education Goes Too Easy on Students Parents Say Schools Game System, Let Kids Graduate Without Skills By JOHN HECHINGER and DANIEL GOLDEN August 21, 2007; Page A1 GREENPORT, N.Y. -- On June 25, 2006, Michael Bredemeyer threw his tasseled cap in the air and cheered after getting his high school diploma. Two days later, his parents mailed the diploma back. [More Data on Mainstreaming] * * * Plus, read more about the challenges of integrating special-needs students, at WSJ.com/Mainstreaming. Michael, now 19 years old, has learning disabilities and finished high school at a seventh-grade reading level, despite scoring above average on IQ tests. The Bredemeyers say he passed some classes because teachers inflated his grades and accepted poor work. By awarding him a meaningless diploma, they say, school officials avoided paying for ongoing instruction. "I felt proud because he had worked so hard," says Michael's mother, Beverly, her voice breaking. "You don't want to take that away from him. But you knew it wasn't real. What's he going to do in the future? Will he be able to go to college and get a job?" The Bredemeyers represent a new voice in special education: parents disappointed not because their children are failing, but because they're passing without learning. These families complain that schools give their children an easy academic ride through regular-education classes, undermining a new era of higher expectations for the 14% of U.S. students who are in special education. Years ago, schools assumed that students with disabilities would lag behind their non-disabled peers. They often were taught in separate buildings and left out of standardized testing. But a combination of two federal laws, adopted a quarter-century apart, have made it national policy to hold almost all children with disabilities to the same academic standards as other students. The 1975 statute now known as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act promoted putting special-education students in mainstream classrooms. The 2001 No Child Left Behind Act said schools would be punished if disabled children don't pass the same state tests as other students. It also requires states to set standards for high-school graduation rates and meet them for all students, including those with disabilities. By some measures, the extra attention is paying off. Test scores and classroom grades of disabled students are rising, and their high-school graduation rate increased to 54% in 2004 from 42% in 1996. But critics say some of the gains have come because schools have learned to game the system. For instance, federal rules allow states to make "reasonable accommodations" to help disabled students pass tests and graduate, such as allowing extra time on exams. Some schools, say critics, are giving students too much help, for instance by guiding students to the right answers on multiple-choice tests. MAKING THE GRADE • The Issue: Some parents of students with learning disabilities say their children are graduating too easily. • The Background: Federal laws raised school standards, but left loopholes. Increasingly, special-education students get special help to pass tests. • The Problem: If schools game the system, those students move on without the skills they need. From 2000 to 2005, special-education fourth graders showed more improvement in reading and math than the general population on an important benchmark test, the National Assessment of Educational Progress. But accommodations also increased. In 2005, 70% of fourth-grade special education students received some sort of accommodation while taking the math portion, up from 44% five years earlier. In reading, 63% used accommodations in 2005, up from 29% in 2000. On tests used to measure compliance with No Child Left Behind, more states are permitting students with disabilities to use calculators on arithmetic tests or have reading-comprehension tests be read aloud. Massachusetts education commissioner David Driscoll warned school administrators in February that an alarming number of special education students -- a quarter or half in some cases -- were receiving such accommodations on state exams. With unclear guidelines, "People start driving trucks through loopholes," he said in an interview. Some school districts have an informal policy against failing students with disabilities even if they miss many classes or aren't learning. "I can go into any school we represent and have somebody tell me we have to pass special education students" to avoid being blamed for not providing the right services if students fail, says Janet Horton, a Texas special-education attorney. Federal law says special-education students should receive a "free appropriate public education," but it doesn't prohibit failing them. Mardys Leeper and Carol Merrill, former teachers at West Philadelphia High School in Pennsylvania, say a special-education administrator there ordered them to pass special-education students. Ms. Leeper says she made concessions for students with disabilities, such as letting them write shorter essays or copy paragraphs she wrote onto a word processor rather than composing their own. But when those students didn't make an effort, or skipped class, both teachers say they sometimes sought to fail them -- only to have the administrator insist on passing grades. The reason they were given: Students had met the goals of their federally mandated individual education plans, IEPs, spelling out goals and services for each special-education student. "Students who weren't even participating, even trying, we couldn't fail them," says Ms. Merrill, an English teacher who retired this year. Even if they couldn't read, "I had to give them a 'D.'" The administrator couldn't be reached for comment. Brenda Taylor, head of special education for the Philadelphia school district, called the matter a "breakdown in communication." The district has no written policy against failing special-education students, she says. But rather than being "punitive" if a student performs poorly or cuts class, she says, the district prefers to revise a student's IEP. "We're not in the business of failing students," Ms. Taylor says. Only 19 states require all students to earn the same kind of diploma, according to a recent University of Minnesota survey. Some of those states let special-education students amass fewer course credits to earn the degree, the survey found. Other states give substitute certificates, in some cases called IEP diplomas, to special-education students who don't qualify for standard diplomas. Many special-education parents are happy to see their children advance through school and graduate. Reggie Felton, director of federal policy for the National School Boards Association, says special-education students learn more in regular classes even if they're given a break on assignments or grading. The federal government recently decided to triple the percentage of students allowed to take easier tests, to 3% from 1%. Some legislators have proposed exempting more students. But the rebellion against too-easy passing is growing, says Pam Wright, who with her husband has co-authored books on special education issues and operates a Virginia-based information clearinghouse for special-education parents. She estimates she now receives more than 1,000 email messages a year from parents lamenting that their children with disabilities take mainstream courses but aren't being taught as much as their classmates. Dozens of parents have contended in recent administrative appeals that their children did not deserve the diplomas they received, she says. The family of Alba Somoza, who has cerebral palsy and speaks only with the help of a computer, filed one such case. Alba drew national attention in the 1990s when her family successfully pushed to include the then-third grader in a regular classroom. Then-President Bill Clinton backed her cause, and Alba, now 23, graduated with honors from a New York City high school in 2002. Last year, Alba and her family filed an administrative case claiming her education was a sham. A school report prepared weeks before she graduated showed she had language and math skills at an elementary school level, court records show. "You cannot shunt children through -- you cannot scam them through the system," says Alba's mother, Mary. [Michael Bredemeyer] Since shortly after she graduated, New York has been paying for a special program for Alba that costs $400,000 a year -- including a full-time teacher, an aide, transportation and extensive technology. The city says it is doing so out of compassion, not legal obligation. The family is seeking to continue the public funding another year to help Alba receive enough education to work as a museum docent. The Somozas lost the administrative case, but a judge in U.S. District Court in Manhattan ruled in the family's favor earlier this year and ordered another hearing. Rather than develop a program that would help Alba reach her academic goals, teachers lowered the curriculum's "level of difficulty" and removed "large and meaningful portions of its substantive content," the judge said. One teacher testified that he did most of the work on Alba's final project in 2002. New York officials say the school properly adapted the curriculum for a severely disabled student. In northern California, Jennifer McGowan, an 18-year-old who is deaf in one ear and suffers from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and learning disabilities, was supposed to graduate from Vacaville Unified School District in June. She didn't get her diploma -- because her family won a court injunction to stop it. In an interview, Jennifer said she often received A or B grades for poorly completed work or, at times, when she didn't do assignments at all or show up for class. Achievement tests she took in January 2005 showed that she had the math and reading skills of an elementary-school student, according to her administrative complaint. The school district denies her grades were inflated and said she showed her proficiency by passing a high-school exit exam. John Aycock, Vacaville's superintendent, said teachers did "a great job working with Jennifer." Jennifer says she failed the exit exam several times despite intensive preparation. "They just wanted to pass me and let me fly by," she says. The school system says it's not unusual to make several attempts to pass. At the Mercer Island school district in Washington state, the family of a girl with severe learning disabilities complains that, instead of the intense instruction she needed to master reading and math in eighth and ninth grades, teachers showered her with accommodations: a peer note-taker, a peer to read materials to her, oral exams, reduced assignments and a calculator on math tests. At an administrative hearing, the family -- whose names are not disclosed in the court papers -- sought to force the school system to pay for her private schooling. Noting her strong A and B grades, the district successfully argued that accommodations were helping her learn. In U.S. District Court in Seattle, a judge hearing an appeal of the case disagreed last year, saying the system improperly relied on accommodations rather than instruction, and has returned the case to a hearing officer to determine financial relief for the family. Boxes of school correspondence and Michael Bredemeyer's old tests and assignments line the hallways of his family's weather-beaten saltbox house in Orient, N.Y., on Long Island's North Fork. Michael's parents are demanding public funding for more services until age 21, to which students are entitled unless they graduate, so he can improve his academic skills for college. John Bredemeyer, a county public-health inspector, and his wife, Beverly, had high hopes for Michael, who has a strong work ethic and a knack for repairing machines. But once he entered public middle school in nearby Greenport, his parents worried that teachers were letting him skate through classes and tests. Michael, who has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and learning disabilities including dyslexia, says in some classes he "definitely earned" a passing grade, but others were "borderline." He took regular classes except for one period a day. "A little more one-on-one" instruction would have helped, he says. On state achievement exams, Michael's IEP permitted him extra time, simplified instructions and guidance from a teacher to slow him down if he rushed through answers. But when he completed the eighth-grade math test, his special-education teacher also took him to the resource room and directed him to redo problems he had answered incorrectly. According to a memo from Greenport Superintendent Charles Kozora, the teacher "exceeded the intent" of Michael's accommodations, boosting his score. The state investigated and invalidated Michael's test. [Revolt] Mr. Kozora said the school system had only two cases of testing irregularities in six years, few conflicts with parents over special education and "many successes" among students with disabilities. The district says achievement, and not cost, dictates its decisions on graduating students. When Michael was a junior at Greenport High, his chemistry teacher passed him with the minimum grade of 65, even though he says he spent much of the class doodling and playing solitaire on his laptop. Checking his assignments and tests, his parents couldn't understand how he could be passing. In a letter, the school principal acknowledged that the final grade was a "miscalculation" and should have been 56.6, or an F. The school offered to let him make up his lost credits by volunteering in the town library. When his parents balked, he was instead placed in courses in sociology and psychology. On one psychology pop quiz, five of Michael's seven answers were marked wrong, but a failing grade was crossed out on the paper and a passing score of 65 was substituted. The school district declined comment. For a senior English assignment, he received an A for one untitled paragraph. "I believe competition today has changed dramatically," he wrote. "Back in the day, sports was some of the only sports that had competition. Today, everyone wants to compete and only be successful. School work, school sports, major league sports, all involve high amounts of success and competition. Competition today has become very extreme." His English teacher, Michael Connolly, said he didn't remember the assignment and had no comment on the grade. On standardized tests, Michael had mixed results: On the SATs, which have a 200 to 800 scale, Michael received 330 and then 370 in two tries on the reading test, in the bottom 10% of all students nationally. On math, he scored 460 both times. He failed two state exams and passed five others. His school grades put him in the bottom one-third of his class. A month before graduation, the Bredemeyers debated whether he should accept the degree. "I wanted to have it," Michael says. "Get it and forget it." On graduation day, a school band played "Pomp and Circumstance." Michael's parents, his sister, his grandmother, aunts and uncles watched as he walked up to the podium and a school official handed him a purple diploma case with his name etched in gold letters. Michael says he knew his parents might not let him keep it. "I had a feeling they'd do something like that," he said, shrugging. "I'll eventually get it back, one of these days, months, years." This summer, Michael has been mowing lawns and picking up trash at a state park for $9 an hour. This fall, he plans to enter his second year at Suffolk County Community College, which does not require a high-school diploma. Last semester at Suffolk, he received a D-plus in freshman composition, D's in statistics and Western Civilization and an F in the history of rock 'n' roll.

Ramadan: So Sad...In Pakistan? Ive just recently talked to my friend, she lives in Pakistan And she told me about how America has now got control of Pakistan, if the Government officals dont obey them they get shot dead...Astafallah atheem And also about this new army called 'Black water' who rape small girls and take women for their soilders(suicide i guess) And that the Pakistan President is doing everything America says... :( Our Fellow Brothers & Sisters in Pakistan are in danger and its getting hard for them,PLease make du'a for them. This is a story about a fellow Sister who is in Jail in America for 5 years now, she was kiddnapped by America for being a "terrorist" and she is being raped,and abused...she's now gone mental. and lost her 3 kids... After intensive civil rights groups pressure and angry protests in Pakistan, the US authorities have formally acknowledged arresting Dr. Afia Siddiqui, a Pakistani neuroscientist, five years after her mysterious disappearance in Karachi with her three teen age kids. On August 5, the FBI suddenly produced Dr. Siddiqui in a New York court to charge her with possessing documents including recipes for explosives and chemical weapons and description of New York land marks plus firing two shots at a US army captain which, very conveniently, missed. But the story of the circumstances, the timing and the place from where she had been picked up that the Americans purveyed for the world to believe hardly sounds credible. According to the charge sheet, Dr Siddiqui was loitering outside the compound of Ghazni Governor in Afghanistan on July 17 this year when she was taken into custody and had in her possession numerous documents on making explosives, chemical weapons and other weapons involving biological material and neurological agents. Then while under detention at the notorious Bagram airbase cell she shot at American officials after getting hold of a rifle of one of them. Tellingly, the story of the Afghan police in Ghazni contradicts the FBI charge sheet. The Afghan police said officers searched Siddiqui after reports of her suspicious behavior and found maps of Ghazni, including one of the governor’s house, and arrested her along with a teenage boy. US troops requested the woman be handed over to them but the police refused. US soldiers then disarmed the Afghan police, at which point Siddiqui approached the Americans complaining of mistreatment by the police. The US troops thinking that she had explosives and would attack them as a suicide bomber, shot her and took her. According to the New York Times, the United States intelligence agencies have said that she had links to at least 2 of the 14 men suspected of being high-level members of Al Qaeda who were moved to Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, in September 2006. The charges against her, however, do not appear to be related to those allegations, but to her assault on the Americans who were about to question her. The hearing cleared up none of the mysteries that have surrounded Ms. Siddiqui’s case since she disappeared with her three children while visiting her parents’ home in Karachi, Pakistan, in March 2003. Her mysterious disappearance story Dr. Afia Siddiqui left her mother's house in Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi, Sindh province, along with her three children, in a Metro-cab on March 30, 2003 to catch a flight for Rawalpindi, but never reached the airport. The press reports claimed that Dr. Afia had been picked-up by Pakistani intelligence agencies while on her way to the airport and initial reports suggested that she was handed over to the American Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). At the time of her arrest she was 30 years and the mother of three sons the oldest of which was four and the youngest only one month. (Still there is no news about her three children.) A few days later an American news channel, NBC, reported that Afia had been arrested in Pakistan on suspicion of facilitating money transfers for terror networks of Osama Bin Laden. A Monthly English magazine of Karachi in a special coverage on Dr. Afia reported that one week after her disappearance, a plain clothed intelligence went to her mother's house and warned her, "We know that you are connected to higher-ups but do not make an issue out of your daughter's disappearance." According to the report the mother was threatened her with 'dire consequences' if she made a fuss. Dr. Afia Siddiqui, who studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US, for about 10 years and did her PhD in genetics, returned to Pakistan in 2002. Having failed to get a suitable job, she again visited the US on a valid visa in February 2003 to search for a job and to submit an application to the US immigration authorities. She moved there freely and came back to Karachi by the end of February 2003 after renting a post office box in her name in Maryland for the receipt of her mail. It has been claimed by the FBI (Newsweek International, June 23, 2003, issue It was a make Du'a for our Brothers and Sisters. Yes America has crossed the line...but they will brain wash their people... *imagines what my dad's saying...lol stupid Politicians* Who said i liked Taliban( i dont know them so im mutual)...and Pakistan isnt run by Taliban...Girls still go to school if the schools for women were closed then my Sister in law wouldnt have graduated from Alima in Pakistan...

And no i dont support terrorisim...even if its hurting Shia's i dont hate you people...I just dislike one brother of yours and his wife...they betrayed me. thats all..

Why do some pastor fleece the congregations? Please understand. I love real campmeetings. I Preach them. I support them (real ones). But this is a fact that I notice the young couples with their little families, income and little I.Q. These youngins love JESUS, and will give what they are told, thinking it's the way to make GOD love them, and the moderator to love them. I know. This is my story too. We gave it all; cash and our trailer. We pledged, and redeemed clothes and shoes. We bought ceramic frogs for $100.00 to put money in the camp, and after camp I had to borrow gas money to get home. There were no groceries until next paycheck for my children. I furnished the chicken and double yoke eggs from Tyson Foods for four camps. THIS I noticed! The have-nots attending these campmeetings get taken advantage of, and have to stay in the dorms. They are then fed with the camp food which is not for human consumption (in some camps). The unrecognized preacher dresses shabby and gets the dorm and the dog food. While Doctor Influential gets the Hotels and gift certificates to nice restaurants, and hardly ever comes to morning or afternoon services. These SPECIAL Doctors never sit through those grueling six hour offerings and every scam and con man rip-off offerings raised to support the camp or some moochinery. But look. That little couple who is hungry for GOD is there, FAITHFUL to all services, giving all he has got and the good Doctor is keeping all he has got and getting more. Robin Hood took from the rich to give to the poor. But some of these camps take from the poor and give to the big pastors that play the game with the camp. I say, let's have Campmeeting but let's not discriminate against the haves and have-nots. Now there are some great campmeetings left that are for real, but beware when money is mentioned before each preacher and after each preacher, and have people sit for hours taking offerings and being put on a guilt trip like "hey you slept in this man's bed (dorm) you ate his food" in order to make him give to the camp. These con artists are sorry extortionists that just play a game with the people to make you feel sorry for them. Nobody minds taking offerings but five times a day and between two to six hours Wake Up Brother!! I also would like to report the biggest con job of late is going on in the Independent Baptist Churches promoted by some campmeeting directors and the hireling pastors that ought to be shot for treason. They will bring people in for a "so-called" Revival, but it's really just a fund-raiser for the needs of the "so-called" campmeeting for paving, or air conditioners that are already replaced about every year ( not really replaced; it's just the con for your cash and credit cards), and the dorms need thousands of your dollars also to help people come to the camp, which most Church folks have never been to. But, just so your money gets there. You think television preachers beg for money? Do you remember A. A. Allen? He could learn lessons from this crowd. Now, here's the kicker. Your Pastor will let these charlatans come to his church, and let them take your hard earned money. Why? Why? Why? Here's why: So he can get his fifteen minutes of fame preaching at the campmeeting, while you're working your hard back-breaking job. Wise up man!! So, he is worse than Judas! See, these campmeeting fellas know the pastors hold the keys to the lock box with your money in it. So that little fifteen minutes of fame cost your Church $10,000.00! That way the Pastor can kiss up to the camp - just in case he loses the church. He thinks that he is in with the big boys, and will stay employed. Hey! I see these professional fund-raisers soften up the pastor. They stand him and his wife up, and has the people bring money to the pastor, putting the poor mouth on his congregation that loves him. The people are already strapped with financial debt, and then comes the last hit. HEY, take these envelopes and monthly send this poor camp some money. So, you just use your pointed little head! Just think: they are in Revival fifty weeks a year, raising money at every church, plus monthly pledges. If you estimate about $90,000 from each campmeeting, say three times a year. The place ought to be solid gold! Amen! Amen! Figure the money is in the bank, and the camp will have needs until this world is burnt with fire. You say, "Brother Trask? Could a man that can quote the Bible be misleading People?" I say to you, "Jack Van Impe can quote more than any known man. Is he misleading people?" Come on! Think for yourself! You say, "Brother Trask, you're going to catch it." I say, "Until GOD almighty gets through with me, I cannot be stopped! Let them lie on me or threaten me for exposing the money-changers, and yes, JESUS would drive them out of his house again for extortion( false Pretense)!" You pastors that are involved in this scheme; GOD will hold your stinking hide to accountability for raping your people! You're nothing but a campmeeting pimp to preach for the "so called" big boys for your fifteen minutes of shame. What's so funny is that these guys preach on the SBC, television and pants, but think nothing about lying and out right fraud, all in the name of GOD! You're so carnal that you think that if they quote Scripture they are LEGIT!! Amen! Amen! Finally: Yes, there are some honest campmeetings left that are not beggars, and don't leave churches broke.

Each time any APR changes, we will apply it to any existing balances, excluding any fixed rate Promotional or Introductory APR. Purchase APR Your variable Customary APR applies to credit card purchases. The Daily Periodic Rate is based on 1/365th of the Index plus 6.65% ("Spread"). For example, for billing cycles ending 5/17/07, the rate of FINANCE CHARGE would have been a Daily Periodic Rate of .04082% (corresponding 14.90% ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE). The minimum rate of FINANCE CHARGE is a Daily Periodic Rate of .04082% (corresponding 14.90% ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE). Cash APR Your variable Cash APR applies to cash advances, including balance transfers, if available, and cash advances made by credit card check. The Daily Periodic Rate is based on 1/365th of the Index plus 16.90% ("Spread"). For example, for billing cycles ending 5/17/07, the rate of FINANCE CHARGE would have been a Daily Periodic Rate of .06890% (corresponding 25.15% ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE). The minimum rate of FINANCE CHARGE is a Daily Periodic Rate of .05726% (corresponding 20.90% ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE). If at any time your Account is subject to the Customary and/or Cash APRs, and you fail to make at least your Minimum Payment in time to be credited to your Account by the Payment Due Date, or your Account exceeds your credit limit, your entire Account balance will increase to the variable Default APR. At our discretion, your Account may return to the Customary APR after five consecutive months of on-time payments of at least the Current Payment Due, without exceeding your credit limit. Default APR The Daily Periodic Rate for the variable Default APR is based on 1/365th of the Index plus 22.24% ("Spread"). For example, for billing cycles ending 5/17/07, the rate of FINANCE CHARGE would have been a Daily Periodic Rate of .08353% (corresponding 30.49% ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE). The minimum rate of FINANCE CHARGE is a Daily Periodic Rate of .08079% (corresponding 29.49% ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE). Finance Charges Finance Charges are the total of the greater of (a) Minimum Finance Charge, or (b) periodic Finance Charges, and any applicable (c) Cash Advance Fee Finance Charges, (d) Foreign Transaction Fee Finance Charge, (e) Credit Limit Increase Fee Finance Charge, (f) Closed Account Service Fee Finance Charges, and (g) Processing Fee Finance Charge. (a) Minimum Finance Charge. A Finance Charge that is assessed in lieu of a lesser periodic Finance Charge in any billing cycle in which a periodic Finance Charge is payable. This fee is $1.00. (b) Periodic Finance Charges. Periodic Finance Charges are computed by multiplying the Average Daily Balance for each category of transactions shown on your statement (e.g., purchases, balance transfers, cash advances) by the applicable Daily Periodic Rate and then multiplying the result by the number of days in the billing cycle. To calculate the Daily Balances, we take the beginning debit balance for each category of transactions each day, add any new transactions, any previous day's periodic Finance Charges, any assessed fees and charges, and subtract any payments and/or credits. If a debit transaction posts after the beginning of your billing cycle, but the transaction occurred prior to the beginning of your billing cycle, the applicable Daily Balance will be adjusted to include the transaction amount and any previous day's periodic Finance Charges for each day the transaction amount was outstanding prior to the beginning of the current billing cycle. Then, for each transaction category, we add the Daily Balances for the billing cycle together and divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This is the Average Daily Balance for each transaction category. (1) Credit Card Purchases. Periodic Finance Charges begin to accrue on the date of the transaction and continue to accrue until payment in full is credited to your Account. However, there is a 25 day Grace Period on new credit card purchases. That means, if the New Balance shown on your last statement is paid in full by the Payment Due Date for that statement, periodic Finance Charges will not be imposed on new credit card purchases, provided the New Balance for the current billing cycle is paid in full by the Payment Due Date for that billing cycle. If, however, the New Balance is not paid in full by the Payment Due Date for the immediately preceding billing cycle, periodic Finance Charges will be incurred on new credit card purchases (i.e., purchases appearing for the first time in the current cycle) from the date of the transaction and on the previously billed but unpaid credit card purchases form the first day of the current cycle. (2) Cash Advances (including balance transfer and credit card checks). Periodic Finance Charges begin to accrue on the date of the transaction and continue to accrue until payment in full is credited to your Account. There is no Grace Period on cash advances. Periodic Finance Charges will be calculated using the Daily Periodic Rate in effect on the statement closing date. (c) Cash Advance Fee Finance Charges. Cash advances include all advances to get cash over the counter, through an ATM, balance transfers (if available), credit card checks, or other "cash-like" transactions (such as purchasing a money order, traveler's check, casino or betting chip, or a lottery ticket) as determined by us. A Finance Charge will be computed on the amount of each cash advance as of the date of the transaction. The Cash Advance Fee FINANCE CHARGE for all cash advances is 5%, subject to a minimum FINANCE CHARGE of $5, unless otherwise disclosed. (d) Foreign Transaction Fee Finance Charge. A Foreign Transaction Fee FINANCE CHARGE equal to 1% of the U.S. dollar amount is assessed on transactions made in a foreign currency, as of the transaction date. (e) Credit Limit Increase Fee Finance Charge. If you request and are approved for a credit limit increase ("CLI"), a CLI Fee FINANCE CHARGE of up to 50% of the CLI may be assessed to your Account, depending on your creditworthiness. (f) Closed Account Service Fee Finance Charge. A $3.50 per month FINANCE CHARGE is assessed to the Account for each billing cycle whenever that Account is closed with a debit balance. The application of any Finance Charge other than a periodic Finance Charge may cause the APR on the billing statement on which this Finance Charge first appears to exceed the Nominal APR. ACCOUNT FEES Annual Fee/Periodic Membership Fee Your Account is subject to a $35 Annual Fee for each year your Account is open or closed with a balance. If you close your Account within the first 90 days your Account is open, the Annual Fee is refundable so long as you have not used the Account. Late Payment Fee A Late Payment Fee is assessed for each billing cycle in which at least the Minimum Payment, and any amount past due, is not paid in time to be credited to the Account by the Payment Due Date. The Late Payment Fee will vary based on the amount of your outstanding balance on your Payment Due Date, or during the period up to 5 days after your Payment Due Date, as determined by us, and will be: $30 if your balance is more than $0 up to and including $1000; or $35 if your balance is greater than $1000. Overlimit Fee An Overlimit Fee is assessed if your Account balance exceeds the applicable credit limit at any time during a billing cycle. We may impose this fee even if we authorize or impose any charges that cause your balance to exceed the credit limit. This fee is $30. Other Fees and Charges Returned Payment Fee A Returned Payment Fee is assessed to your Account each time a payment check, automatic payment deduction, or other payment method is not honored or is returned unsatisfied by the bank or other financial institution. Any payment returned unsatisfied for any reason may be reposted to any type of transaction (i.e. cash advance, purchases, etc.) and Finance Charges may be reinstated back to the payment date at the APR being charged for that transaction. This fee is $30. Returned Check Fee A Returned Check Fee is assessed to the Account each time a credit card check, balance transfer check (if available), electronic check or other Account access device is returned unsatisfied by us for any reason. This fee is $30. Check by Phone A Check by Phone Fee may be assessed to the Account each time a payment is made by telephone, even if the payment is made by someone other than you. The amount of this fee will be disclosed at the time such payment is requested. Stop Payment Fee A Stop Payment Fee is added to the cash advance balance when a payment of a credit card check is stopped at your request. Payment may be stopped on a credit card check by notifying us in writing or by calling us at the telephone number listed on the Account billing statement, so long as such check has not already been processed. A stop payment request must include the check number, payee, amount and date of the credit card check on which payment is to be stopped. If a stop payment is requested by telephone, the call must be confirmed in writing within 14 days. A written stop payment will remain in effect for six months unless renewed in writing. This fee is $29. Send stop payment requests to P.O. Box 81622, Salinas, CA 93912-1622. Research Fee A $7 Research Fee is assessed to the Account for each sales slip copy, $3 for each statement copy, and $10 for each application copy upon request.

Evolution vs. Creation, what's more reasonable? Scientists with impressive credentials are leaving the doctrines of evolution. Unfortunately, no one has informed the general public. As Science Digest reported: Scientists who utterly reject Evolution may be one of our fastest-growing controversial minorities... Many of the scientists supporting this position hold impressive credentials in science. Evolutionist Sir Fred Hoyle: The notion that...the operating programme of a living cell could be arrived at by chance in a primordial soup here on the Earth is evidently nonsense of a high order. Researcher and Mathematician I. L. Cohen: At that moment, when the DNA/RNA system became understood, the debate between Evolutionists and Creationists should have come to a screeching halt. ...the implications of the DNA/RNA were obvious and clear. Mathematically speaking, based on probability concepts, there is no possibility that Evolution was the mechanism that created the approximately 6,000,000 species of plants and animals we recognize today. Evolutionist Michael Denton: The complexity of the simplest known type of cell is so great that it is impossible to accept that such an object could have been thrown together suddenly by some kind of freakish, vastly improbable, event. Such an occurrence would be indistinguishable from a miracle. Peter Saunders (University of London) and Mae-Wan Ho (Open University): From the claims made for neo-Darwinism one could easily get the impression that it has made great progress towards explaining Evolution, mostly leaving the details to be cleared up. In fact, quite the reverse is true. Evolutionist Dr. Colin Patterson: No one has ever produced a species by mechanisms of natural selection. No one has ever gotten near it... Evolutionist Greg Kirby: If you were to spend your life picking up bones and finding little fragments of head and little fragments of jaw, there's a very strong desire there to exaggerate the importance of those fragments... Evolutionist Lord Solly Zuckerman: Students of fossil primates have not been distinguished for caution... The record is so astonishing that it is legitimate to ask whether much science is...in this field at all. Evolutionist Tom Kemp: A circular argument arises: Interpret the fossil record in terms of a particular theory of evolution, inspect the interpretation, and note that it confirms the theory. Well, it would, wouldn't it? Evolutionist Edmund Ambrose: We have to admit that there is nothing in the geological records that runs contrary to the view of conservative creationists... Paleontologist and Evolutionist Dr. Niles Eldredge, American Museum of Natural History: The only competing explanation for the order we all see in the biological world is the notion of Special Creation. Sir Fred Hoyle, astronomer, cosmologist, and mathematician, Cambridge University: I have little hesitation in saying that a sickly pall now hangs over the big bang theory. Thomas Barnes, Ph.D., physicist: The best physical evidence that the earth is young is a dwindling resource that evolutionists refuse to admit is dwindling...the magnetic energy in the field of the earth's dipole magnet. ...To deny that it is a dwindling resource is phony physics. Sir Fred Hoyle, astronomer, cosmologist, and mathematician, Cambridge University: The likelihood of the formation of life from inanimate matter is one to a number with 40,000 noughts after it... It is big enough to bury Darwin and the whole theory of evolution. ...if the beginnings of life were not random, they must therefore have been the product of purposeful intelligence. Molecular biologist Michael Denton: Is it really credible that random processes could have constructed a reality, the smallest element of which—a functional protein or gene—is complex beyond...anything produced by the intelligence of man? C. Everett Koop, former U.S. Surgeon General: When I make an incision with my scalpel, I see organs of such intricacy that there simply hasn't been enough time for natural evolutionary processes to have developed them. Mathematician P. Saunders and biologist M. Ho: We ourselves would be less concerned about falsifiability if neo-Darwinism were a powerful theory with major successes to its credit. But this is simply not the case. C. Martin in American Scientist: The mass of evidence shows that all, or almost all, known mutations are unmistakably pathological and the few remaining ones are highly suspect. Pierre-Paul Grassé, Evolutionist: No matter how numerous they may be, mutations do not produce any kind of Evolution. Arthur Koestler, author: In the meantime, the educated public continues to believe that Darwin has provided all the relevant answers by the magic formula of random mutations plus natural selection—quite unaware of the fact that random mutations turned out to be irrelevant and natural selection a tautology. Norman Macbeth: Darwinism has failed in practice. Lyall Watson, Ph.D., Evolutionist: Modern apes...seem to have sprung out of nowhere. They have no yesterday, no fossil record. And the true origin of modern humans...is, if we are to be honest with ourselves, an equally mysterious matter. Wolfgang Smith, Ph.D.: The Evolutionist thesis has become more stringently unthinkable than ever before... John Woodmorappe, geologist: Eighty to eighty-five percent of Earth's land surface does not have even 3 geologic periods appearing in 'correct' consecutive order. ...it becomes an overall exercise of gargantuan special pleading and imagination for the evolutionary-uniformitarian paradigm to maintain that there ever were geologic periods. Evolutionist S. Lovtrup: Micromutations do occur, but the theory that these alone can account for evolutionary change is either falsified, or else it is an unfalsifiable, hence metaphysical theory. I suppose that nobody will deny that is a great misfortune if an entire branch of science becomes addicted to a false theory. But this is what has happened in biology: ...I believe that one day the Darwinian myth will be ranked the greatest deceit in the history of science. When this happens many people will pose the question: How did this ever happen? J. O'Rourke in the American Journal of Science: The intelligent layman has long suspected circular reasoning in the use of rocks to date fossils and fossils to date rocks. The geologist has never bothered to think of a good reply. N. H. Nilsson, famous botanist and Evolutionist: My attempts to demonstrate Evolution by an experiment carried on for more than 40 years have completely failed. Luther Sunderland, science researcher: None of the five museum officials could offer a single example of a transitional series of fossilized organisms that would document the transformation of one basically different type to another. Tom Kemp of Oxford University: As is well known, most fossil species appear instantaneously in the fossil record. Francis Hitching, archaeologist: The curious thing is that there is a consistency about the fossil gaps; the fossils are missing in all the important places. David Kitts, paleontologist and Evolutionist: Evolution requires intermediate forms between species and paleontology does not provide them. Gary Parker, Ph.D., biologist and paleontologist and former Evolutionist: Fossils are a great embarrassment to Evolutionary theory and offer strong support for the concept of Creation. Wolfgang Smith, Ph.D., physicist and mathematician: A growing number of respectable scientists are defecting from the evolutionist camp. ...moreover, for the most part these 'experts' have abandoned Darwinism, not on the basis of religious faith or biblical persuasions, but on strictly scientific grounds, and in some instances, regretfully. I. Cohen, mathematician and archaeologist: It is not the duty of science to defend the theory of Evolution, and stick by it to the bitter end—no matter what illogical and unsupported conclusions it offers... Ludwig von Bertalanffy, biologist: The fact that a theory so vague, so insufficiently verifiable, and so far from the criteria otherwise applied in 'hard' science has become a dogma can only be explained on sociological grounds. Malcolm Muggeridge, well-known philosopher: The theory of Evolution...will be one of the great jokes in the history books of the future. Posterity will marvel that so flimsy and dubious an hypothesis could be accepted with the incredible credulity that it has.

Will you vote for Hillary? Dear Mr. Ex President Clinton: I recently saw a bumper sticker that said, "Thank me, I voted for Clinton-Gore." So, I sat down and reflected on that, and I am sending my "Thank you" for what you have done, specifically: 1. Thank you for introducing us to Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky, Dolly Kyle Browning, Kathleen Willey, and Juanita Broderick. Did I leave anyone out? 2. Thank you for teaching my 8 year old about oral sex. I had really planned to wait until he was a little older to discuss it with him, but now he knows more about it than I did as a senior in college. 3. Thank you for showing us that sexual harassment in the work place (especially the White House) and on the job is OK, and all you have to know is what the meaning of "it" is. It really is great to know that certain sexual acts are not sex, and one person may have sex while the other one does NOT have sex. 4. Thank you for reintroducing the concept of impeachment to a new generation and demonstrating that the ridiculous plot of the movie "Wag the Dog" could be plausible after all. 5. Thanks for making Jimmy Carter look competent, Gerald Ford look graceful, Richard Nixon look honest, Lyndon Johnson look truthful, and John Kennedy look moral. 6. Thank you for the 73 House and Senate witnesses who have pled the 5th Amendment and 17 witnesses who have fled the country to avoid testifying about Democratic campaign fund raising. 7. Thank you, for the 19 charges, 8 convictions, and 4 imprisonment's from the Whitewater "mess" and the 55 criminal charges and 32 criminal convictions (so far) in the other "Clinton" scandals. 8. Thanks also for reducing our military by half, "gutting" much of our foreign policy, and flying all over the world on "vacations" carefully disguised as necessary trips. 9 Thank you, also, for "finding" millions of dollars (I really didn't need it in the first place, and I can't think of a more deserving group of recipients for my hard-earned tax dollars) for all of your globe-trotting. I understand you, the family and your cronies have logged in more time aboard Air Force One than any other administration. 10. Now that you've left the White House, thanks for the 140 pardons of convicted felons and indicted felons-in-exile. We will love to have them rejoin society (Not to mention the scores you pardoned while Governor of Arkansas). 11. Thanks also for removing the White House silverware. I'm sure that Laura Bush didn't like the pattern anyway. Also, enjoy the housewarming gifts you've received from your "friends." 12. Thanks to you and your staff in the West Wing of the White House for vandalizing and destroying government property on the way out. I also appreciate removing all of that excess weight (China, silverware, linen, towels, ash trays, soap, pens, magnetic compass, flight manuals, etc.) out of Air Force 1. The weight savings means burning less fuel, thus less tax dollars spent on jet fuel. Thank you! 13. And finally, please ensure that Hillary enjoys the $8 million dollar advance for her "tell-all" book and you, Bill, the $10 million advance for your memoirs. Who says crime doesn't pay! 14. The last and most important point - thank you for forcing Israel to let Mohammed Atta go free. Terrorist pilot Mohammed Atta blew up a bus in Israel in 1986. The Israelis captured, tried and imprisoned him. As part of the Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release so-called "political prisoners". However, the Israelis would not release any with blood on their hands. The American President at the time, Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, "insisted" that all prisoners be released. Thus, Mohammed Atta was freed and eventually thanked the US by flying an airplane into Tower One of the World Trade Center. This was reported by many of the American TV networks at the time that the terrorists were first identified. It was censored in the US from all later reports. Why shouldn't Americans know the real truth? What a guy!! If you agree that the American public must be made aware of these facts, pass this on. God bless America and THANK YOU (once again) for spending my taxes so wisely and frugally. SINCERELY, A US Citizen PS. Please pass along a special thank you to Al Gore for "inventing" the Internet, without which I would not be able to send this wonderful, factual e-mail. AND THE REST OF THE STORY Hillary Rodham Clinton, as a New York State Senator, now comes under the "Congressional Retirement and Staffing Plan," which means that even if she never gets reelected, she STILL receives her Congressional salary until she dies (Would it not be nice if all Americans were pension eligible after only 4 years?). If Bill outlives her, he then inherits HER salary until HE dies. He is already getting his Presidential salary until he dies. If Hillary outlives Bill, she also gets HIS salary until she dies. Guess who pays for that? WE DO! It's common knowledge that in order for her to establish NY residency, they purchased a million dollar-plus house in upscale Chappaqua, New York. Makes sense. They are entitled to Secret Service protection for life. Still makes sense. Here is where it becomes interesting. Their mortgage payments hover at around $10,000 per month. BUT, an extra residence HAD to be built within the acreage to house the Secret Service agents. The Clinton's charge the Federal government $10,000 monthly rent for the use of that extra residence, which is just about equal to their mortgage payment. This means that we, the taxpayers, are paying the Clinton's salary, mortgage, transportation, safety and security, as well as the salaries for their 12 man staff -- and, this is all perfectly legal! When she runs for President, will you vote for her? I didn't write this, I'm just passing it along.

A little memo to Bill and Hillary Clinton. Please let me know what you think of it.? Worse than you thought & worth remembering - this came from a Democrat Dear Mr. Ex President Clinton: I recently saw a bumper sticker that said, "Thank me, I voted for Clinton-Gore" So, I sat down and reflected on that, and I am sending my "Thank you" for what you have done, specifically: 1.

They are entitled to Secret Service protection for life. Still makes sense. Here is where it becomes interesting. Their mortgage payments hover at around $10,000 per month. BUT, an extra residence HAD to be built within the acreage to house the Secret Service agents. The Clintons charge the Federal government $10,000 monthly rent for the use of that extra residence, which is just about equal to their mortgage payment. This means that we, the taxpayers, are paying the Clinton 's salary, mortgage, transportation, safety and security, as well as the salaries for their 12 man staff -- and, this is all perfectly legal! When she runs for President, will you vote for her? How many people can YOU send this to?

Correct this report! (If you're good at grammar and stuff obviously XP)? I had to do a task in which I am enrolled in the character of an organiser of a charity organization. I have to report the Board of Governors describing a fund-raising day and give recommendations mainly. I think I don’t sound like that, but this is what I could make up: Correct any mistake, mainly the related to coherence, to see if all in all achieves its purpose (it doesn’t do it at all, so replace sentences or paragraphs if you can think of a better one). Oh, I think I repeated too much words like “activity”, to which I couldn’t find a good synonym... I tried to avoid naming it... Well... thanks. """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""... REPORT ON OUR CHARITY ORGANISATION INTRODUCTION The aims of this report are to: 1 Give an overview of the organisation. 2 Provide general information related to the last event. 3 Make recommendations for what to de next year. WHAT THE ORGANIZATION IS ABOUT This charity organisation raises money in order to lend a hand to disadvantaged children, arranging different activities in which people get involved both contributing financially and having fun. ULTIMATE FUND-RAISING DAY Plus, this year it was decided to invest what has been earned during the last months in a day-long event. PARTICIPATION About 50 volunteers took part in this campaign with a commendable effort and a remarkable sense of cooperation, most of who were students from university. Besides, many people joined us through a recently uploaded webpage that gives them the chance to be concerned in the organisation’s activity with the possibility of participating in projects and have the main information available. MONEY RAISING The total raised exceeded by far the correspondent to previous years. The most profitable activity was collecting which included: - The house-to-house system, represented by the 40% of the earnings. - Street collection (((what to say about this??))) A large amount of money is attributed to jumble sale, the latest added activity. Familiar parties and matches as well as raffles had a bare participation small amount. CONCLUSION (((Idk what to put here without being repetitive... what could I?)) RECOMMENDATION My advice for next year is the following: 1 An increase in the variety of activities that make participation of the community more accessible would help. Some proposals are: - Half-yearly street parties - The option of donating costumers’ loose change through a link to computerized markets. good contribution would be an 2 A trademark should be launched: collectors would be provided with special badges, which ought to be considered carefully, so as to avoid distrust from some people. """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""... Activate BLOQ MAYUS for capital letters so that I notice what you add/replace, please. (Yeah, I am not an English native speaker). Sorry -> I gave the rough copy in which I forget to delete words and phrases. That collecting stuff was in the book. It wasn't specific enough I think.

Visitation Pre-Trial Questions in Ohio, Please Help!? Me and my ex-bf have a 2.5 yr old son together. He saw my child on and off but my ex and his mom and mom's bf haven't seen him in about 2 months as I was tired of the effect it had on my son. We both live in Ohio btw. My ex filed for visitation and my pre-trial is on the 15th. I do not want visitation for many reasons (read them below). My son lives with me and my husband who has been around since he was about 16 months old and he'll be 3 next month. He is in a stable home and seems so much better off than going back and forth like he was to my ex's plus I've had a lot of problems with them. He is a deadbeat who doesn't work, he's a HS dropout, has a history of theft, domestic violence against me and other women, stalking, burgulary, etc. An investigator I talked to showed me video of his mother and her boyfriend driving up and down our road in private property. This scares me with his past that he will try to nab my child, steal from me, come physically hurt me or my husband. A friend of mine told me to get a restraining order at a domestic violence shelter for my ex and his mother harassing me and other members of my family with letters, emails, text messages, IM's, etc. I get scared they want to take custody of me so I quit responding to anything. Yet I don't think his mom's bf works, or his mom and my ex doesn't work so not sure how they would support my child anyways. Plus my son hasn't been there in over 2 months and never mentions my ex's name (he calls him dada and my husband daddy). Does getting a restraining order put on him before court do anything with setting up supervised visitation for the child? I don't want them around my child and I don't want them involved in his life. I also want to get my son's name change and possibly adopted so I don't want them to have visitation with him. He and his mother are mentally unstable and I don't want his image rubbing off on my son. He is a criminal convicted of many charges, in and out of jail, doesn't work, never got his GED, and I think my son is too young to be yo-yo'ed back and forth like a toy. Plus him and his mother harass me and my family and much of it is insults about me, my family, my husband, etc. If I HAVE to have visitation, I would want it to be supervised but the attorney I talked to told me I would have to pay it. Plus I don't want to drive (me and my ex live 50 miles away) being that he is not paying support and our money is tight as it is. Does Legal Aid do anything with slander and emotional distress? It's like a daily headache dealing with the new blog he writes online about me or letter my family gets. It's like they are trying to tear me and my family apart and hurt my new marriage. This is hard and stressful to me, my family, and my new marriage to deal with this drama along with the responsibility of keeping up a home and family. I don't want this situation to affect my marriage and family and I think they use my son as an excuse to harass me especially about things involving my personal life which have nothing to do with my parenting. His mother sent me over 1500 emails, wrote letters to family members locally and out of state, sent postcards degrading me to my mother's job stating I run a **ore house, etc. (totally untrue btw) as well as threats such as father's and grandparent rights from both of them. Her bf also calls to pick up my son and I don't want ANY of them contacting me. My ex already had 3 or 4 restraining orders placed against him-3 from ex's and one from an ex's new bf which was dropped, so I am hoping it will be easy to get. Please help!! How should I word things on the orders and I hope they will not allow visitation to my son. Anyone have any advice or been in a similar situation?? Here is background about my ex and his family: I had a son who is 2.5 with my ex-bf and I am going through a stressful situation. My ex is a crazy, mentally unstable, high school drop out and I've had nothing but problems with him and his family (especially after I found someone else). They tape record phone calls, video tape you and take pics of your car, home, etc. get background reports on you, etc. I have over 1500 emails or so from my ex's mother even after me and her son broke up. I want to change my son's last and middle names (I was stupid and gave him my ex's last name and part of his 1st and middle in my son's middle name). I am now married to a great guy who is a great father to my son. My husband works 7 days a week to support us. I graduated college last summer and work part time looking for a full time job. My ex is convicted of burgulary, menancing by stalking (to the the girl he left me for lol) and felony theft. I was called by a senior special agent (criminal investigations) to talk to him and he showed me video of my ex's mother and her bf driving up and down our road and I moved 70 miles away from my mom's house and it's 50 miles or so from my ex's with my husband. My ex isn't going to change his ways, he's hardly worked his whole life plus he isn't stable in women, emotions, opinions, etc. The parenting classes is a good idea. Not sure why I can't sue for emotional distress. Slander-he is trying to ruin the reputation of me, my family, and the relationships I have with them and my new husband. That is uncalled for and has nothing to do with my son but about them trying to have control. He's had almost 4 restraining orders on him-so I'm not the 1st. So I can ask in court for him to reliquence his rights? Hmmm I doubt he will but would love if he would or that the court would decide that I save all info. like that and I am tired of being harassed. He even calls when I don't have my son demanding to talk to him and that even when I'm at work-something he knows nothing about-and it's uncalled for. I need some time away from my son and they must think he is glued to me 24/7.

Do you like the Clintons for President? Remember this when she runs for President Bill & Hillary: Worth remembering and this came from a Democrat. Dear Mr. Ex President Clinton: I recently saw a bumper sticker that said, "Thank me, I voted for Clinton-Gore." So, I sat down and reflected on that, and I am sending my "Thank you" for what you have done, specifically: 1. Thank you for introducing us to Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky, Dolly Kyle Browning, Kathleen Willey, and Juanita Broderick. Did I leave anyone out? 2. Thank you for teaching my 8 year old about oral sex. I had really planned to wait until he was a little older to discu ss it with him, but now he knows more about it than I did as a senior in college. 3. Thank you for showing us that sexual harassment in the work place (especially the White House) and on the job is OK, and all you have to know is what the meaning of "is" is. It really is great to know that certain sexual acts are not sex, and one person may have sex while the other one does NOT have sex. 4. Thank you for reintroducing the concept of impeachment to a new generation and demonstrating that the ridiculous plot of the movie; "Wag the Dog" could be plausible after all. 5. Thanks for making Jimmy Carter look competent, Gerald Ford look graceful, Richard Nixon look honest, Lyndon Johnson look truthful, and John Kennedy look moral. 6. Thank you for the 73 House and Senate witnesses who have pled the 5th Amendment and 17 witnesses who have fled the country to avoid testifying about Democratic campaign fund raising. 7. Thank you, for the 19 charges, 8 convictions, and 4 imprisonments from the Whitewater "mess" and the 55 criminal charges and 32 criminal convictions (so far) in the other " Clinton" scandals. 8. Thanks also for reducing our military by half, "gutting" much of our foreign policy, and flying all over the world on "vacations" carefully disguised as necessary trips. 9. Thank you, also, for "finding" millions of dollars (I really didn't need it in the first place, and I can't think of a more deserving group of recipients for my hard-earned tax dollars) for all of your globe-trotting. I understand you, the family and your cronies have logged in more time aboard Air Force One than any other administration. 10. Now that you've left the White House, thanks for the 140 pardons of convicted felons and indicted felons-in-ex ile. We will love to have them rejoin society. (Not to mention the scores you pardoned while Governor of Arkansas ) 11. Thanks also for removing the White House silverware. I'm sure that Laura Bush didn't like the pattern anyway. Also, enjoy the housewarming gifts you've received from your "friends." 12. Thanks to you and your staff in the West Wing of the White House for vandalizing and destroying government property on the way out. I also appreciate removing all of that excess weight ( China , silverware, linen, towels, ash trays, soap, pens, magnetic compass, flight manuals, etc.) out of Air Force 1. The weight savings means burning less fuel, thus less tax dollars spent on jet fuel. Thank you! 13. And finally, please ensure that Hillary enjoys the $8 million dollar advance for her "tell-all " book and you, Bill, the $10 million advance for your memoirs. Who says crime doesn't pay? 14. The last and most important point - thank you for forcing Israe l to let Mohammed Atta go free. Terrorist pilot Mohammed Atta blew up a bus in Israel in 1986. The Israelis captured, tri! ed and imprisoned him. As part of the Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release so-called "political prisoners". However, the Israelis would not release any with blood on their hands. The American President at the time, Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, "insisted" that all prisoners be released. Thus Mohammed Atta was freed and eventually thanked the US by flying an airplane into Tower One of the World Trade Center . This was reported by many of the American TV networks at the time that the terrorists were first identified. It was censored in the US from all later reports. Why shouldn't Americans know the real truth? What a guy! SINCERELY, A US Citizen PS. Please pass along a special thank you to Al Gore for "inventing" the Internet, without which I would not be able to send th is wonderful, factual e-mail. AND THE REST OF THE STORY: It's common knowledge that in order for her to establish NY residency, they purchased a million dollar-plus house in upscale Chappaqua , New York . Makes sense. They are entitled to Secret Service protection for life. Still makes sense. Here is where it becomes interesting. Their mortgage payments hover at around $10,000 per month. BUT, an extra residence HAD to be built within the acreage to house the Secret Service agents. The Clintons charge the Federal government $10,000 monthly rent for the use of that extra residence, which is just about equal to their mortgage payment. This means that we, the taxpayers, are paying the Clinton 's salary, mortgage, transportation, safety and security, as well as the salaries for their 12 man staff -- and, this is all perfectly legal! When she runs for President, will you vote for her? How many people can YOU send this to? Unfortunately s ome will read it and not care but just maybe this will get through to others. Poet 1 B: and who do you think help fund the Clintons campaigns? China!

How long have we (the U.S. & U.K) been IN Iran now??????? How long have we been IN Iran now???????????????? Iran War Underway: US and Britain Funding Right Wing Terrorists For Regime Change The Long history of British and American covert provocation and action in Iran Steve Watson Infowars.net Friday, March 30, 2007 The US and Britain are already at war with Iran, have been at war with Iran for a number of years now and are funding anti-Iranian terrorist groups inside Iran in preparation for the fallout that will occur after overt military action is commenced. Not my words, the words of high ranking CIA officials, Defense department officials, former UN officials and retired US air force Colonels. Iran's state news agency, IRNA today listed five previous violations of Iranian territory by British armed forces: * June 2004: An unmanned reconnaissance plane violated Iranian airspace in northeastern Abadan and was hit by Iranian anti-aircraft guns. * June 22, 2004: Eight navy personnel in three speed boats entered Iranian territorial waters and were arrested by Iranian coast guards; the arrested were released after three days. * November 1, 2006: Two helicopters, hovering at a height of 150 meters (492 feet), violated Iranian airspace for a total of 10 minutes. * January 27, 2007: A helicopter violated Iranian airspace over the mouth of the Arvand river and left the area after a warning from Iranian coast guards. * February 28, 2007: Three navy boats entered Iranian territorial waters in the mouth of Khor Mousa. Can we believe Iranian state news? Is Britain and/or the US engaging in covert intelligence gathering in Iran? The answer is we don't have to believe Iranian state news because it is a well established fact that a covert intelligence war is already being waged with Iran and has been ongoing for many years now. In an article entitled The US war with Iran has already begun, written back in June 2005, former UN weapons inspector in Iraq, Scott Ritter, addressed this very issue and described how intelligence gathering, direct action and the mobilizing of indigenous opposition is all being carried out already by CIA backed US special forces. Ritter stated: As with Iraq, the president has paved the way for the conditioning of the American public and an all-too-compliant media to accept at face value the merits of a regime change policy regarding Iran, linking the regime of the Mullah's to an "axis of evil" (together with the newly "liberated" Iraq and North Korea), and speaking of the absolute requirement for the spread of "democracy" to the Iranian people. But Americans, and indeed much of the rest of the world, continue to be lulled into a false sense of complacency by the fact that overt conventional military operations have not yet commenced between the United States and Iran. As such, many hold out the false hope that an extension of the current insanity in Iraq can be postponed or prevented in the case of Iran. But this is a fool's dream. The reality is that the US war with Iran has already begun. As we speak, American over flights of Iranian soil are taking place, using pilotless drones and other, more sophisticated, capabilities. The violation of a sovereign nation's airspace is an act of war in and of itself. But the war with Iran has gone far beyond the intelligence-gathering phase. President Bush has taken advantage of the sweeping powers granted to him in the aftermath of 11 September 2001, to wage a global war against terror and to initiate several covert offensive operations inside Iran. Ritter goes on to describe how Iranian opposition groups, including the well known right-wing terrorist organization known as Mujahedeen-e Khalq (MEK), once run by Saddam Hussein's dreaded intelligence services, but now working exclusively for the CIA's Directorate of Operations, are carrying out remote bombings in Iran of the sort that the Bush administration condemns on a daily basis inside Iraq. He also describes how to the north, in neighbouring Azerbaijan, the US military is preparing a base of operations for a massive military presence that will foretell a major land-based campaign designed to capture Tehran. Ritter is not alone in his assertions. During an interview on CNN a year ago, retired U.S. Air Force Colonel Sam Gardiner claimed that U.S. military operations were already 'underway' inside Iran. "I would say -- and this may shock some -- I think the decision has been made and military operations are under way," Col. Gardiner told CNN International anchor Jim Clancy. "The secretary point is, the Iranians have been saying American military troops are in there, have been saying it for almost a year," Gardiner said. "I was in Berlin two weeks ago, sat next to the ambassador, the Iranian ambassador to the IAEA. And I said, 'Hey, I hear you're accusing Americans of being in there operating with some of the units that have shot up revolution guard units.' He said, quite frankly, 'Yes, we know they are. We've captured some of the units, and they've confessed to working with the Americans,'" said the retired Air Force colonel. The full seven minute CNN segment can be viewed below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmce... Around the same time that Gardiner revealed this, RAW story ran an exclusive, which also revealed that, according to counterintelligence officials, covert operations were underway that included CIA co-option and use of right wing terror groups: “We disarmed [the MEK] of major weapons but not small arms. [Secretary of Defense Donald] Rumsfeld was pushing to use them as a military special ops team, but policy infighting between their camp and Condi, but she was able to fight them off for a while,” said the intelligence official. According to still another intelligence source, the policy infighting ended last year when Donald Rumsfeld, under pressure from Vice President Cheney, came up with a plan to “convert” the MEK by having them simply quit their organization. “These guys are nuts,” this intelligence source said. “Cambone and those guys made MEK members swear an oath to Democracy and resign from the MEK and then our guys incorporated them into their unit and trained them.” The MEK were notorious in Iraq, indeed, Saddam Hussein himself had used the MEK for acts of terror against non-Sunni Muslims and had assigned domestic security detail to the MEK as a way of policing dissent among his own people. It was under the guidance of MEK ‘policing’ that Iraqi citizens who were not Sunni were routinely tortured, attacked and arrested. The Just last month after a bombing inside Iran, the London Telegraph also reported on how a high ranking CIA official has blown the whistle on the fact that America is secretly funding terrorist groups in Iran in an attempt to pile pressure on the Islamic regime to give up its nuclear programme. The claims were backed by Fred Burton, a former US state department counter-terrorism agent, who said: "The latest attacks inside Iran fall in line with US efforts to supply and train Iran's ethnic minorities to destabilise the Iranian regime." John Pike, the head of the influential Global Security think tank in Washington, said: "The activities of the ethnic groups have hotted up over the last two years and it would be a scandal if that was not at least in part the result of CIA activity." If this all sounds a little familiar, it's because it is. The fact is that the US has a long history of provocation and covert action inside Iran. The In 1953 the CIA and MI6 carried out Operation Ajax (officially TP-AJAX), a covert operation by the United Kingdom and the United States to remove the democratically elected nationalist cabinet of Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh from power, to support the Pahlavi dynasty and consolidate the power of Mohammed Reza Pahlavi in order to preserve the Western control of Iran's hugely lucrative oil infrastructure. In planning the operation, the CIA organized a guerrilla force incase the communist Tudeh Party seized power as a result of the chaos created by Operation Ajax. According to formerly “Top Secret” documents released by the National Security Archive, Undersecretary of State Walter Bedell Smith reported that the CIA had reached an agreement with Qashqai tribal leaders in southern Iran to establish a clandestine safe haven from which U.S.-funded guerrillas and intelligence agents could operate. The conspiracy centered around having the increasingly impotent Shah dismiss the powerful Prime Minister Mossadegh and replace him with General Fazlollah Zahedi, a choice agreed on by the British and Americans after careful examination for his likeliness to be pro-British. Zahedi was installed to succeed Prime Minister Mossadegh. The deposed Mossadegh was arrested, given a show trial, and condemned to death. The Shah commuted this sentence to solitary confinement for three years in a military prison, followed by house arrest for life. “If there had not been a military coup, there would not have been 25 years of the Shah’s brutal regime, there would not have been a revolution in 1979 and a government of clerics,” Ibrahim Yazdi, a former foreign minister and leading member of a political party that traces its origins to Mossadegh’s National Front, told the Christian Science Monitor on the 50th anniversary of the coup and installation of the Shah. “Now it seems that the Americans are pushing towards the same direction again. That shows they have not learned anything from history.” “For many Iranians, the coup was a tragedy from which their country has never recovered. Perhaps because Mossadegh represents a future denied, his memory has approached myth,” Dan De Luce writes for the Guardian. “Beyond Iran, America remains deeply resented for siding with authoritarian rule in the region.” After the Iranian revolution in 1979, the US again found itself sparring with Iran. Again we find a history of provocation and aggression. In particular, a fierce assault known as Operation Praying Mantis, is renowned. The operation began after a US warship had entered mined Iranian territorial waters in the Persian Gulf. From Wikipedia: On April 14 1988, the guided missile frigate USS Samuel B. Roberts struck a mine while sailing in the Persian Gulf as part of Operation Earnest Will, the 1987-88 convoy missions in which U.S. warships escorted reflagged Kuwaiti oil tankers to protect them from Iranian attacks. The explosion put a 25-foot hole in the Roberts' hull and nearly sank it. But the crew saved their ship with no loss of life, and Roberts was towed to Dubai on April 16. After the mining, U.S. Navy divers recovered other mines in the area. When the serial numbers were found to match those of mines seized along with the Iran Ajr the previous September, U.S. military officials planned a retaliatory operation against Iranian targets in the Gulf. The battle, the largest for American surface forces since World War II,[1] sank two Iranian warships and as many as six armed speedboats. It also marked the first surface-to-surface missile engagement in U.S. Navy history. The US also attacked and destroyed several Iranian oil platforms in a full out military assault. At the time the Chicago Sun Times reported: U.S. naval forces on Monday attacked Iranian targets in the Persian Gulf to show the Iranians that "if they threaten us, they'll pay a price," President Reagan said. In fighting conducted over nine hours, the U.S. forces knocked out two Iranian oil platforms, and then sank or disabled a fast-attack missile patrol boat, two frigates, and three speedboats when Iran attempted to fight back. Note Reagan's comments. Hence the name 'Operation Praying Mantis' was a reference to the fanning of the wings used to make the mantis seem larger and to scare the opponent. On November 6, 2003 the International Court of Justice dismissed Iran's claim for reparation against the United States for breach of the 1955 Treaty of Amity between the two countries. The court also dismissed a counter-claim by the United States, also for reparation for breach of the same treaty. As part of its finding the court did note that "the actions of the United States of America against Iranian oil platforms on 19 October 1987 (Operation Nimble Archer) and 18 April 1988 (Operation Praying Mantis) cannot be justified as measures necessary to protect the essential security interests of the United States of America." The fallout of Praying Mantis also resulted in the U.S. Navy guided missile cruiser USS Vincennes shooting down an Iranian civilian commercial airliner, Iran air flight 665, between Bandar Abbas and Dubai, killing all 290 passengers and crew aboard, including 38 non-Iranians and 66 children. The Vincennes was inside Iranian territorial waters at the time of the shoot-down. The On the morning of July 3, the Vincennes crossed into Iranian territorial waters during clashes with Iranian gunboats. Earlier in the day, the Vincennes - along with Iranian gunboats - had similarly violated Omani waters until challenged by an Omani warship. According to the U.S. government, the Iranian aircraft was mistakenly identified as an attacking military fighter. The Iranian government, however, maintains that the Vincennes knowingly shot down a civilian aircraft. According to the Iranian government, the shooting down of IR 655 by the Vincennes was an intentionally performed and unlawful act. Even if there was a mistaken identification, which Iran has not accepted, it argues that this constituted gross negligence and recklessness amounting to an international crime, not an accident. Newsweek reporters John Barry and Roger Charles wrote that Rogers acted recklessly and without due care. Their report accused the U.S. government of a cover-up. An analysis of the events by the International Strategic Studies Association described the deployment of an Aegis cruiser in the zone as irresponsible and felt that the expense of the ship had played a major part in the setting of a low threshold for opening fire. George H.W. Bush, at the time Vice President said "I will never apologize for the United States of America — I don't care what the facts are" in reference to the incident. The BBC later reported: It took four years for the US administration to admit officially that the USS Vincennes was in Iranian waters when the skirmish took place with the Iranian gunboats. Subsequent investigations have accused the US military of waging a covert war against Iran in support of Iraq. In February 1996 the US agreed to pay Iran $61.8 million in compensation for the 248 Iranians killed, plus the cost of the aircraft and legal expenses. So we see that Britain and the US have a long history of covert action against and provocation of Iran in their bid to aggressively control the region. Nothing has changed. These facts and past precedents are exactly the reason why we should be questioning our own governments on the authenticity of the current seizure of the British marines by Iran. Our governments have continually violated Iranian territory covertly for decades and then covered up the fact. In January Republican Congressman and 2008 Presidential candidate Ron Paul stated that he feared a staged Gulf of Tonkin style incident may be used to provoke air strikes on Iran as numerous factors collide to heighten expectations that America may soon be embroiled in its third war in six years. Just last month former National Security Advisor and founding member of the Trilateral Commission Zbigniew Brzezinski also tacitly warned that an attack on Iran could be launched following a staged provocation. During a BBC Newsnight feature story this week, it was demonstrated that the Iranian footage of the capture of the British sailors was in large part likely faked and the commentators all but suggested the entire incident was staged or at least constituted "gross negligence" on behalf of the British. Former British Ambassador Craig Murray and others are highlighting the fact that the maritime border between Iraq and Iran is contested, and the British have essentially manufactured a border to make it appear as if HMS Cornwall was within Iraqi territorial waters. The mainstream media has uniformly failed to address this issue. It seems that we are once again witnessing the unfolding of ongoing covert military action by our governments against (whether you agree with it or not) a democratically elected foreign government in Iran.

Abortion.. What are your views? Trapped... Time Has Run Out For Over 49 Million Americans. By Another's Choice.. Who is trapped by the "choice" of abortion? Both the mother and the pre-born child. Abortion is legal through all nine months of pregnancy in the United States. The infamous Roe v. Wade case legalized abortion throughout the United States. The lesser-known companion case, Doe v. Bolton, defined the "health" exception. This case solidified Roe in allowing abortion through all nine months if the pregnancy threatens the life or health of the mother. The vague word used here is "health." What does "health" mean to you? Doe v. Bolton defined health to include, "physical, emotional, psychological, familial, and the woman's age - relevant to the wellbeing of the patient." Essentially, Doe v. Bolton opened the door for "health" to mean anything a doctor or woman wanted it to mean. Some states have laws regulating late term abortions, and some states simply have no willing providers. However, women are free to go to other states to obtain one. Late-term abortions may be less common, but they are still legal. Didn't the Partial Birth Abortion Ban outlaw late-term abortions? No. In the 2007 decision, Gonzales v. Carhart, the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003 was upheld. The "Ban" merely regulates one specific method used in late-term abortions (D&X). Other late-term abortion methods, such as Dilation and Evacuation (D&E) and a modified version of partial birth abortion, may still legally be used to kill a child up to the moment of birth. A woman is often trapped by the decision to abort. You probably know someone who has aborted her child. Why did she "choose" abortion? Did she want an abortion or was she coerced or "strongly encouraged" by her boyfriend, husband, or parents? Let's face it; there are many reasons why women abort. One study found that 64% of women surveyed said they "felt pressured by others" to abort. Also, 54% said they were "not sure about the decision at the time." Does this sound like a "woman's right to choose?" More than 49 million children have been legally trapped by "choice" in the United States since 1973. Time is running out for millions more. With more than 3,500 surgical abortions performed in the United States every day, you most likely have been, or will be, involved with someone considering abortion. You owe it to yourself and those around you to make an educated decision about abortion. Unlocking The Language Trap... My Body, My Choice! The term "pro-choice' avoids talking about what you are choosing. Most people agree that we can be "pro-choice" about many things without offending anyone (i.e. chocolate or vanilla, paper or plastic). The term "choice" is value-neutral and meaningless unless we have some kind of idea what we are choosing. Society generally limits people's choices when it comes to behaviors that are harmful or potentially harmful to other people. We, as a society, are "anti-choice" when it comes to theft, arson, murder, and a whole host of other actions. A Woman's "Right"/Freedom to Choose It sounds almost patriotic. Our great American freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, etc. Individual rights are important, but you will not find "a right to abortion" anywhere in the Constitution. We have come too far to reduce a woman's "right" to mean the "right to kill her own children". It's Just Tissue Consider the following facts: Simple tissue down not have a beating heart, brain waves, fingerprints, and unique DNA. A woman can carry a baby with a different blood type from her own. After the moment of fertilization, nothing new is added to the baby except oxygen, nutrition, and time. The only differences between a newborn and a pre-born baby are size, level of development, environment, and degree of dependency. All of these facts confirm the reality that you are a person worthy of protection from the moment of fertilization. A "Wanted" Child Does your value depend on the degree that someone wants you? Let's be honest- a child is a child. How could any baby be called unwanted when there are over one million couples waiting, hoping, and praying for a chance to adopt a child? "Safe" Abortion Many young women believed this lie until it was too late. The book, Lime 5, documents over 200 cases of women injured or killed by illegal, so-called "safe" abortions. The end result of an abortion is a dead baby, and the potential for cervical cancer, breast cancer, infertility, and psychological pain. Where's the "safe" part? "Back-Alley" Abortions According to the Centers for Disease Control, 39 maternal deaths occurred due to illegal abortions in 1972 (the year prior to the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationally). Any loss of life is tragic, but this is nowhere near the alleged "thousands of deaths by back-alley abortions." "I'm Personally Opposed, But I Can't Tell Others What To Do" What if U.S. citizens had been willing to accept this justification for tolerating slavery? Our forefathers took away the "rights" of slave owners in order to give freedom and respect to African American people. Our youngest and most vulnerable are still slaves to the life and death decisions of others. Rape and Incest As traumatic as rape is, abortion does not "un-rape" the mother. The baby doesn't deserve to die for the crime of his or her father. Pat, a victim of rape, said, "In choosing to abort, to kill the innocent child growing within me, I lowered myself to the level of the rapist... The effects of abortion are much more far-reaching than the effects of the rape in my life." Fetal Deformities No one's perfect. Abortion for fetal deformities is a form of discrimination against disabled people. Eighty percent or more of Down Syndrome babies are now aborted. There are waiting lists of people that would be willing to adopt a special needs child. Who's to say their lives aren't worth living? When we make life and death judgments based on "quality of life," we start down the slippery slope of eugenics. Abortion Methods: Vacuum Aspiration The abortionist inserts a hollow plastic suction tube into the dilated cervix. The uterus is emptied by either a manual syringe or high-powered suction machine. The baby's body is torn into pieces as he or she is being pulled through the hose. Dilation and Suction Curettage (D&C) This is similar to the vacuum aspiration. However, after the baby is suctioned out of the uterus the abortionist inserts a curette, a loop-shaped steel knife, up into the uterus. With this the abortionist cuts the placenta and umbilical cord into pieces and scrapes them out into a basin. The uterus is again suctioned out to ensure that no body parts have been left behind. Bleeding is usually profuse. Dilation and Evacuation (D&E) Once the cervix is dilated considerably further than in the first trimester abortions, the abortionist inserts a narrow forceps that resembles a pliers. This instrument is needed because the baby's bones are calcified, as is the skull. The abortionist inserts the instrument into the uterus, seizes a leg or other part of the body and, with a twisting motion, tears it from the baby's body. The spine is snapped and the skull is crushed. Body parts are then reassembled and counted to make certain that the entire baby have been removed and that no parts remain in the womb. Partial-Birth Abortion or Dilation and Extraction (D&X) After undergoing two days of dilation, the abortionist performs an ultrasound to locate the child's legs and feet. The abortionist then uses a large forceps to grasp one of the baby's legs. He pulls firmly, forcing the child into a feet-down position. Using his hands instead of forceps, the abortionist delivers the baby's body in a manner similar to a breech birth. The baby's head remains inside the birth canal. The abortionist uses surgical scissors to pierce the child's head at the base of the skull opening. The abortionist then inserts a suction catheter into the brain and vacuums out the child's brain tissue with a machine 29 times more powerful than a household vacuum. RU-486 - Mifeprex (The Abortion Pill) Mifeprex blocks the action of the hormone progesterone, which is needed to maintain the lining of the uterus providing oxygen and nutrients for the baby. Without it, the baby dies. Mifeprex is used in conjunction with the drug Cytotec (Misoprostol) which is taken two days after Mifeprex, causing uterine bleeding (sometimes profuse), strong contractions, and expulsion of the baby. The pregnant woman visits the abortionist to obtain the Mifeprex pills, returns two days later to receive Misoprostol, and a third time to verify that the abortion is complete. The failure rate of this method is about 8% if the pills are taken within 7 weeks and up to 25% at 8-9 weeks. If the baby survives the abortion, there is an extremely high risk that he or she will suffer mental and/or physical birth defects from the Misoprostol. Emergency Contraception - Plan B (The Morning-After Pill) Emergency Contraception (EC) contains synthetic progestogen and is a large dose of the common birth control pill designed to be taken as a single dose after "unprotected sex." EC works in three ways. First, it attempts to stop ovulation. Depending on where a woman is in her cycle, ovulation may or may not have already occurred before EC was taken. Second, EC attempts to stop fertilization by impeding the transportation of either the sperm and/or the egg. Third, EC tries to stop implantation by altering (thinning) the lining of the endometrium (uterus) so the embryo cannot implant and receive nourishment from the mother. The first two methods are contraceptive, but if they fail, the third method can cause an abortion because it occurs after fertilization. Newsflash In the 2007 decision, Gonzales v. Carhart, the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003 was upheld. The Partial Birth Abortion Ban did not limit the frequency of late-term abortions. The "Ban" merely regulated one method used in late-term abortions. It is still legal for a doctor to kill a child up until the time he or she is born using a modified version. The baby can be delivered up to the navel and then killed. EXPOSE In Their Own Words: Former Abortionists and Clinic Staff Speak Out "There is a great difference between the intellectual support of a woman's right to choose and the actual participation in the carnage of abortion... seeing body parts bothers the workers..." Judith Fetrow: Former Clinic Staff "Abortion Providers III" "I want the general public to know what the doctors know- that this a person; that this is a baby. That this is not some kind of blob of tissue..." Dr. Anthony Levantino: Former Abortionist "Meet the Abortion Providers" "We were told to find the woman's weakness and work on it. The women were never given any alternatives. They were told how much trouble it was to have a baby." Debra Henry:Former Clinic Staff " Meet the Abortion Providers" "But I think the greatest thing that got to us was the ultrasound... The baby really came alive on TV and was moving... That picture of the baby on the ultrasound bothered me more than anything else... We lost two nurses. They couldn't take looking at it." Dr. Joseph Randall: Former Abortionist " Meet the Abortion Providers" Reproductive Racism The vision of Planned Parenthood, founded in 1916 by Margaret Sanger, became the working arm toward eugenic goals. The stated vision was "reproductive freedom" through legalization of contraceptives to be used by the wealthy and imposed Eugenic Sterilization Laws as "birth control" for everyone else. The organization most responsible for propagating the bigoted concepts of "Social Darwinism" is the American Eugenics Society. Founded in the early 1900's, this organization was the sister organization of the British Eugenic Society which embraced the white- more specifically, the Anglo-Saxon- race supremacy doctrine. In the United States, eugenics became more than abstract philosophy. It degenerated into an active campaign to eliminate all those deemed inadequate and resulted in a worldwide crusade to abolish all human inferiority. The American Eugenics Society fostered the Jim Crow Laws of the South and Eugenic Sterilization Laws nationally, the anti-Semitic doctrine that encouraged Nazi Germany during the Jewish Holocaust and defined South-African Apartheid. Despite claims that Margaret Sanger was not a racist of an anti-Semite, the fact remains that "she openly welcomed the worst elements of both in to the birth control movement." Henry Pratt Fairchild who wrote, "Birth control and eugenics are by nature closely related, and neither one can attain its complete fulfillment, or render its maximum service to society, without the other" and Lothrop Stoddard, author of, The Rising Tide of Color Against White World Supremacy, were two of many eugenicists who worked closely with Sanger. Historical documents prove that Planned Parenthood acted as the willful arm of the American Eugenics Society and developed a plan, the ***** Project, as a propaganda program to infiltrate the black community with a "birth control for health" campaign through their civic leaders. Margaret Sanger expressed disdain for the poor and disabled whom she frequently dubbed "undeserving," "unfit", and "dysgenic." Her call for their sterilization and segregation is well known and is likely to have been the motive behind her "***** Project." Lest one think reproductive racism was merely an issue of the past, current numbers prove the problem persists. Racial targeting by abortion providers, Planned Parenthood being the foremost national provider of abortions, has demonstrably resulted in a disproportionate number of minorities obtaining abortions. In the year 2000, African Americans, numbering 34.7 million individuals, or 12.3 percent of the U.S. population obtained 32% of abortions in that year. "Black women are almost four more times as likely as white women to have an abortion, and Hispanic women are 2.5 times as likely." According to updated census reports, African Americans are no longer the largest U.S. minority population. Abortion and population control have taken a devastating toll on the African American and Hispanic communities. The Overpopulation Myth Despite what you may have heard, there is no overpopulation crisis. Abortion, euthanasia, contraception, sterilization, and infanticide are not needed to quell an over abundance of the human population. "Plunging death rates, not soaring birth rates, are the main reason for rapid population increases in the last century. World average life expectancy more than doubled, rising from 30 years in 1900 to 63 years now. "World population increased not because people were breeding like rabbits, but because they stopped dying like flies." In the United States, projections show that the 55 plus age group is going to grow from 24.7% of the population in 2010 to 31.5% in 2050. The UN Population Division states, "At the world level, the number of older persons is expected to exceed the number of children for the first time in 2047. In the more developed regions, where population aging is far advanced, the number of children dropped below that of older persons in 1998." Young people are needed in the workforce to support a rising population that is retiring or unable to work. In 73 countries around the world today, including the United States, the total fertility rate is below replacement level. A nation's total fertility rate must be 2.1 children or above in order to maintain population level. The total fertility rate of Europe is well below replacement at 1.45. Government incentives to have more children are already in place in countries such as France, Italy, Poland, Australia, Singapore, Japan, Germany, Austria, Russia, Scandinavia, and the Netherlands. According to the United Nations Population Division, "below-replacement fertility prevails in the more developed regions and is expected to continue to 2050." We need to start looking at the problems of underpopulation and economic disaster occurring as populations rapidly age, rather than spreading the myth of overpopulation and "need' for abortion and birth control. The Science of Sex I'm a 23 year old virgin saving sex for marriage. What did I miss by not being sexually active in college? STD's, unplanned pregnancy, heartache, and a lot of baggage that would follow me the rest of my life? I can live without that. When I meet the man I'm going to marry and walk down the aisle towards him, I'm not going to think, "I wish I had slept around more, had more boyfriends, experimented more, etc." No Way! I'm saving myself for my future husband. And I don't regret a minute of it. -College Graduate Sex is a powerful force of nature. It bonds people together, is pleasurable, and can create babies. So how does premarital sex damage relationships? The answer lies within the powerful oxytocin hormone released in the body during sexual activity. For example, picture duct taping a girl's arm to a guy's arm. Now rip off the tape (OUCH!) and use the same piece of tape to wrap her arm to a new guy's arm. What happens? Well, it hurts like crazy when you rip off the tape. After switching partners several times, partials of skin and hair left on the tape reduce the adhesiveness so it cannot attach as effectively. The same thing happens with sex. When oxytocin is released in the brain during sexual activity, it acts like emotional super glue and bonds you to that partner. When you break up (OUCH!) and have a new sexual partner, your ability to bond and produce oxytocin is damaged. Just like debris on the duct tape, previous sexual experience reduces the ability to bond correctly. Brain chemicals don't care how old, mature, or in control of your emotions you are- they still create a bond. No one can beat the brain chemistry behind sex. On the flip side, imagine that you never removed the duct tape. Eventually it would just feel like part of you. When a couple waits until marriage to have sex, and they remain faithful to each other, oxytocin acts as super glue between a husband and wife. It also helps maintain the "high" of sex. If you have been sexually active in the past, there is hope. Oxytocin levels can return to normal if you stop engaging in sexual activity and begin to heal the physical and emotional scars developed from premarital sex. Give yourself a year or so before you attempt to get into a new relationship, and commit to save sex for marriage. You won't regret it. What About Birth Control? All hormonal contraceptives (the pill, patch, mini-pill, shot, vaginal ring, emergency contraception, intrauterine devices, etc.) have the capability to cause an abortion. Hormonal contraceptives work in three way: by attempting to stop ovulation, by thickening cervical fluids to prevent fertilization, and by thinning the lining of the uterus to prevent implantation. The first two methods can cause and abortion because it occurs after fertilization. Hormonal contraception does not always stop ovulation. When break-through ovulation occurs, there is a possibility of fertilization. Studies have shown that ovulation rates in women taking oral contraceptives ranged from 1.7% to 28.6% per cycle. Ovulation rates for women taking progestin only pills (the mini-pill) ranged from 33% to 65%. When these contraceptives do no stop fertilization, they have the capability to cause an abortion because the lining of the uterus may be too thin and inhospitable for the embryo to implant and receive nourishment. Birth control manufacturers insist that their products do not terminate an existing pregnancy. However, they have incorrectly redefined the terms "contraception" and "pregnancy" to mean the moment of implantation rather than the moment of fertilization (implantation happens 7-10 days after fertilization). Emergency contraception (EC) is a large dose of the common birth control pill. EC is also known as the morning-after pill and is designed to be taken as a single dose after "unprotected sex." Documented side effects for EC include nausea, abdominal pain, fatigue, headache, dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea, breast tenderness, menstrual changes, and ectopic pregnancy. Contrary to popular arguments, EC does not decrease pregnancies and surgical abortions. EC had been available in Scotland since 1984, but pregnancy rates have not decreased and sexually transmitted infection rates have increased. NO REGRETS: The True Story Of My Adoption Plan When I first found out I was pregnant I couldn't control my crying. I shook uncontrollably. I had never felt so lonely or confused in my life. I wanted my boyfriend's support. I shouldn't have been surprised when he told me to have an abortion. My mind raced to justify the abortion. Perhaps my child would be better off dead than in a broken family. I thought that an abortion would be the answer to my problem. I tried to tell myself that my child wasn't really a baby, he was just tissue... I told myself lie after lie until I made the appointment. But no matter how hard I tried to fool myself, I knew I carried a baby. Deep down, I realized if I were to take my baby's life I would regret it forever. When I decided not to show up to the appointment, I felt so relieved. It didn't take long for me to face reality and see my baby as a gift. I realized it was my duty as mother to protect my child's best interest and give him all I could. Many relatives didn't understand why I was even thinking of adoption. Who in the world would give up their child? Me. That's who. Of course I wanted to be the one to rock him and watch him grow. But beyond my wants I knew my child deserved more. Adoption was the best way I could show love to my child. My boyfriend was overly thrilled about adoption... But nevertheless was willing to interview some couples with me. We met with them several times to ensure we found the best. The couple we chose was married, deeply in love, and welcomed our son as their own. Their love for my child is divine. I can hold my head up high and people are amazed. The birthfather, my family, and my friends congratulated me on my decision and came to realize it was out of love. Yes, I grieved the loss of my child. But the joy far exceeds the sorrow. I thank God that I don't have to visit the memory of an aborted baby. I can live with my decision and so can my son.. With no regrets, Molly Obviously, as you can assume.. I'm completely Pro-Life.. There is no excuse to have an abortion.. It's murder.. It always has been, and it always will be.. Also, as to the people arguing, well, what if the mother/parents can't financially take care of the baby, or gives him/her a bad upbringing? If for whatever reason the mother/parents are unable to work, therefore, can't support their child/children, why would it be so horrible to live off of welfare.. Welfare is there to help people.. Also, you can't say "Why bring a baby into this world if you're just going to have to raise it with money from the government? Because, there are a lot of people that don't even have kids, that are living off of the government, most disabled... So, there isn't really any argument.. And there are people that have children, that are barely scraping by, but they didn't decide to kill their child just because they wouldn't have the best of the best.. I would rather give my children just the basics.. food, clothes, a roof over their heads, and love.. rather than have had an abortion.. Furthermore, there are parents out there that are together, have decent jobs, can afford whatever they need, and still don't give their children a proper upbringing. Also, just because a woman feels she can't, or just simply doesn't want to raise a child.. She most likely could.. And there is always adoption.. It's a very good choice, especially if you don't want to raise your baby yourself.. And to the women out there that are seriously thinking about killing their child.. I think that you would regret killing your child more, rather than if you put him/her up for adoption.. He/she could have a wonderful life.. Why take that away from them? You'd think you'd want the best for them.. It doesn't matter how you were raised or what your childhood was like.. You can turn your life around, and make something of yourself.. But, that's all up to you.. People shouldn't blame other people for the way they are.. I understand some people have had pretty horrible childhoods/lives.. But, it's what you do with your life now, that matters.. You don't have to keep living your life in the wrong way, just because that's the way you were raised... It's all you now.. Anyway, to get to my question.. If you were pro-choice before you read the actual facts about abortion, has it made you change your views? Also, what are your views on abortion? Abortion is a very serious problem in the world.. And I just thought that some people would actually care enough to read this.. Even, though it is pretty long.. I'm not trying to change anyone's opinion.. It's just that some people don't base their opinions on the facts.. They just believe whatever they want to without even knowing what they are making an opinion about.. To Lizzy: You said that you have problems with your "organs". It would depend on what kind of "problems" that you had whether or not you'd be able to physically/healthily carry a baby. You also said that if you kept taking your medicines, (not knowing if you were pregnant) you'd have a deadly miscarriage? What exactly do you think a miscarriage is? Also, about a child getting in the way of someone's lifestyle and giving you stretch marks. I can't believe you would make that kind of remark, especially about the stretch marks.. That's pretty low, if you ask me.. You're saying, you'd rather kill your baby so you don't get stretch marks, rather than to have your baby at all.. And it should be on people's conscience.. They did something horrible, and now they have to live with it.. "So, it's best left to the professionals to keep the women from hurting or even killing themselves." So, you're saying.. Let's protect the women from hurting/killing themselves. By killing the innocent babies within them, so their life can be the way it was before? Also, about your comment on overpopulation. "It isn't like all of man kind will be aborted off of earth, lol." Do you find abortion to be funny, because it isn't? You're basically saying we aren't going to kill off the human race because we're killing babies everyday. Please read the section in my "question" about The Overpopulation Myth.

can you understand this???? please help??? Hayes Lemmerz International, Inc. (Nasdaq: HAYZ) today reported financial results for its fiscal year ended January 31, 2007. The results were in line with preliminary results announced on March 16, 2007 and with guidance the Company provided to investors in December 2006. For the fiscal year, the automotive and commercial highway wheels and components maker reported sales of $2.06 billion, up 5.1% from sales of $1.96 billion in the prior fiscal year. Earnings from operations were $4.8 million for fiscal 2006, compared with a year earlier loss from operations of $215.2 million, which included $185.5 million of goodwill impairment charges. Capital expenditures for the fiscal year were $80.8 million, down from $95.2 million a year earlier. The foregoing results exclude the suspension components business reported as discontinued operations, which had sales of $230 million, a loss from operations of $46.0 million and capital expenditures of $9.1 million. The Company reported a net loss of $166.9 million for fiscal 2006, compared to a net loss of $457.5 million for fiscal 2005. The Company reported a loss from continuing operations of $120.9 million, compared with a loss from continuing operations of $287.1 million a year earlier. Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2006 (including the suspension components business) was $188.6 million, up 7.3% from $175.7 million a year earlier. For the full fiscal year, Hayes Lemmerz reported free cash flow of negative $9.1 million, excluding the impact of the Company's securitization program, an improvement of $71.6 million from a year earlier. "Hayes Lemmerz is a much stronger company today than it was five years ago," said Curtis Clawson, President, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Hayes Lemmerz. "We have significantly decreased our dependence on U.S. markets, and continue to grow our international business, especially in Asia. By divesting non-core businesses and focusing on high growth/high return markets, we are continuing to execute our strategic business plan and our drive toward profitability and positive free cash flow. Sales to GM, Ford and Chrysler in the U.S., excluding discontinued operations, now account for only about 18% of global sales. Given the extremely difficult conditions in our marketplace, our results for 2006 are encouraging." As previously announced, as part of its continuing profit-enhancing initiatives, the Company completed the sale of two aluminum suspension components plants in February 2007. "These divestitures further reduce our dependence on the North American automotive market and free us from a very capital-intensive business," said Mr. Clawson. "Our new business wins point the way toward our future. We won over $575 million in annualized sales in 2006, of which 75% is international business," Mr. Clawson said. "We continue to win with Japanese and Korean manufacturers, including Toyota, Hyundai, Nissan and Honda, both in the U.S. and internationally. We continue to win new business with our European partners, and in the U.S. markets our new business wins diversify our product mix with more crossover and passenger vehicles," he said. As previously announced, the Company�s board of directors has approved a rights offering for existing shareholders, for up to $180 million of common stock. Proceeds will be used to repurchase the Company�s 10.5% Senior Notes. The offering must be approved by shareholders at a special meeting scheduled for May 4, 2007. "By raising new equity capital and retiring high-cost debt, we are de-leveraging, strengthening our balance sheet and significantly improving free cash flow," Mr. Clawson commented. For the full fiscal year 2007, Hayes Lemmerz expects to achieve sales of about $2.1 billion, Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $195 to $205 million, positive free cash flow (excluding securitization impact) and capital expenditures of approximately $85 to $90 million.
