Topic: Rjs question?
I could use a little help and I'm not sure how to fix it.
I was doing some Combo dependent Select drop downs. I was able to achieve that part with an observe field.
Although everytime it calls the partial, it prints this along and it's "sandwhiching" the Select in the partial when called:
Element.update("subcategory_select", "\r\n <Select DropDown> \r\n\r\n ");
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?

Games May Help In Alzheimer's Treatments
AMSTERDAM—There are any number of so-called brain-training games available today, and some have been suggested as helping Alzheimer's patients. Unfortunately, as the Games for Health conference heard, there is little evidence that they actually work.
However games aimed specifically for sufferers might help in delaying the onset of the condition or slow its progress, or at the very least provide a testing framework against which other treatments, can be measured for their efficacy.
Dr. John Harrison, a psychologist at Imperial College, London, opened the conference with a rather gloomy prognosis. With the increasingly aging population in Western Europe and the U.S., the incidence of Alzheimer's is going to escalate and with it the cost of treating patients (the condition is, so far, incurable) is going to skyrocket, he said.
"The estimated cost of treating Alzheimer's in the U.S. alone in 2012 is about $200 billion," Dr. Harrison said. "By 2050 the cost of direct health care in just the U.S. for Alzheimer's is going to be $1 trillion."
Given the scale of the problem he suggested that anything that could be done to delay patients from being admitted to residential care would result in significant savings and improve the quality of life for both the patient and the care giver.
Dr. Harrison suggested that games might be a way to address what he said were the five cognitive areas that Alzheimer's affects: executive functioning — the ability to work out a strategy; working memory — the ability to use information and skills you have stored; attention and concentration; episodic memory — the ability to recall an event; and psychomotor skills — how quickly you can respond to events.
He showed a brief trailer of a proposed game in which a player would have to capture monsters by placing traps and then firing the trap when a monster came near. He suggested that the actual gameplay was not fixed; what was important rather was the methodology behind it.
"As soon as the monster reaches the trap, you have to hit a button. So that is a measure of attention. I am going to ask the patient to hit it as quickly as possible, so that is a measure of psychomotor speed. Before the patient starts playing I am going to tell him or her there are 10 monsters not to trap. They have to remember what they are, so it has to be in the working memory.
"Later on when they have caught a few monsters I am going to show a picture of a monster they have caught and one they didn't see. The patient has to tell me which one was caught — a test of episodic memory.
"There are a whole host of things we can embed into a games context that will exercise and test efficacy."
Like a lot of the talks here at the conference, Dr. Harrison's game was only a concept, there is no actual game to do this. But how many $1 trillion markets are there? With that sort of money being spent on Alzheimer's if a game resulted in just a 5% saving a year that would be a significant cost reduction.
That kind of reward could attract serious games makers to make serious games.

I was in New York City this week and had plenty of time to discuss the stop and frisk court decision. I heard an interesting take on the ruling while there. The first is this: the original crime rate was very high based upon black v. black crime in New York City. The stupendous gentrification and building boom in New York has had the interesting consequence of changing the demographic of New York City, although the expanse of what seems to be the largest outflow of minority people from a city since the Great Migration might not be known for another eight years. (On this trip, I stayed in a high rise hotel in Brooklyn, and a whole series of 50 plus story towers are going up on what had been a majority minority neighborhood not long ago. The number of cranes is amazing.) In any event, it is possible to argue that the drop in the crime rate had nothing to do with "stop and frisk" and it may everything to do with the fact that the crime rate has dropped because the changing demographic is reducing black v. black violence. Thus, the mayor may be entirely wrong in thinking that the court decision will cause an increase in crime. We'll have to wait and see. The other theory of falling crime has everything to do with "stabilization theory." The War on Drugs has been such a failure, that the supply and distribution channel has stabilized. This means less risk in drug dealing. Less risk means lower profits. Lower profits means less interest in crime for the sake of those profits. Thus, the fall in crime has to do with the failure of the drug war, not its overzealous enforcement. thus, Holder's idea of shortening prison sentences is meaningless. The thing to do is to totally end the war on crime. One other thing I can report is that no one in New York, other than the Mayor, seems to be exercised by the Court ruling.
The other interesting thing is that I spent time with folks from San Francisco and Washington, and they seem to be in concurrence that both San Francisco and Washington seem to be following the same pattern as New York City in becoming whiter, wealthier and more conservative than they have� been in recent years, and one Washingtonian noted that the Republicans wouldn't have been meeting in Boston if they didn't think that all urban areas are back in play for the Republicans. With Obama's popularity flirting with the upper 30s, 2014 might be a very good year for the Republicans.
Lastly, having had a chance to see One World Trade Center, I can report that it looks even worse in person� than it does in pictures. Most folk I talked to agree that the if Al Qaeada takes it out before occupancy no one might care.

Prince Harry returns home after triumphant U.S. tour ends with winning charity polo match
GREENWICH, Conn. — It's the pinnacle of private in a place known for exclusivity. Now it will known as the place where red-haired royalty played polo — and won.
Prince Harry, looking great as usual on a horse, captained a polo match here among the rich and famous to raise money for his African children's charity that supports the poor and unknown.
"Prince Harry's on the action," the announcer shouted as the game got underway on a wet afternoon here. "Nicely driven ball" by HRH, who played wearing No.1. It's a furiously fast game: HRH whacks, he scores! In the end, his team wins, 4-3, and Harry and teammates hoist the winning cup over their heads.
Then he was gone, winging his way home, no doubt with a glass of well-deserved bubbly in first-class to celebrate what had been a triumphant week-long tour. He arrived back in London early Thursday, palace officials said.
But while he was here, he brightened up a rainy afternoon. This luxurious place couldn't be farther away from Africa. The lush grounds lie down a winding, narrow road behind a discreet, all-but-unmarked entrance.
The sun came out and then went away and the rain poured down. When the visiting Scottish Duke of Argyll walked the red carpet, the weather turned appropriately British, drizzly and chilly, so the dress code is trenches and brollies (umbrellas).
Harry, dressed in a dark blazer, lunched (lobster canapes and filet of beef) with, and then played before, a relatively cozy crowd of 400 invited guests (and 200 journalists) in the Sentebale Royal Salute Polo Cup held at the Greenwich Polo Club, in a town of hedge-fund mansions whose main drag boasts a Baccarat.
At the lunch, according to pool reporters via Twitter, Harry thanked all for a "wonderful week" in the USA, and praised the "extraordinary generosity" of Americans.
The nearly five-hour, fanfare-filled finale to the prince's U.S. tour featured some other famous guests, including Mel B (Scary Spice), Gayle King, and actor Owen Wilson, plus designers Jason Wu and Valentino.
"I'm going to try not to drool when I see him!" King joked to reporters.
Wu, looking more Greenwich Village than Greenwich, Conn., was wearing dark jeans, white trainers and a rolled-sleeve blazer over a striped T-shirt. He confesses that he hasn't been paying attention to Harry's tour wardrobe, being busy and all working on his resort collection. But he's fine with Harry's recycling his ties during the trip.
"If you have something you love, you should wear it all the time," he tells reporters. Even a tie with bunnies? "Even if it has bunnies on it." (It was a tie by British designer Paul Smith.)
Among the players: Dawn Jones, wife of actor Tommy Lee Jones, who won the MVP award. "I'm like a little Jack Russell (terrier) on crack — I like to go for the ball," she told reporters about her polo style.
But the real star here is Harry. After palming an American football and grimacing under a cheerleader pyramid in Colorado Springs over the weekend, and after smacking a home run at a baseball game in Harlem on Tuesday, Harry returned to familiar athletic territory: the polo field.
Harry, 28 and third in line to the throne, excels at the sport with the swanky-but-dangerous reputation, as do his brother, father, grandfather and most of the males in his royal family. Harry is both athletic and a serving captain in the British Army, and his seven-day visit to the USA was aimed at promoting Britain, wounded-warrior athletes and his charities.
"His ranking in the sport is perfectly solid given his many other roles and pursuits in life," says polo-loving Adam Brecht, an unofficial ambassador for and member of the club, as well as as member of a British polo club. "Polo is his recreation, not his profession, yet he makes sure his polo benefits charity."
The Greenwich Polo Club was founded by billionaire businessman Peter Brant, a polo player, art collector and husband of model Stephanie Seymour, who sat next to Harry at lunch. Brecht says Greenwich is the American polo club most like a British club in setting and tone.
As reporters waited impatiently in the media pen surrounded by a white picket fence, Brant said today is an "exceptional" day.
The club is unique for Brant's art collection, with major artworks by the likes of Andy Warhol and Jeff Koons nearby where the polo players and horse race around the fields. Harry toured the collection.
The polo match was arguably top ticket of the Harry tour. There was so much interest, wannabe attendees dangled cash and volunteered for flag-boy duty just for a chance to glimpse the mounted prince wielding a mallet, according to The New York Times.
The match was held to raise funds for Sentebale ("forget me not" in Sesotho), the charity Harry founded in 2006 along with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, which aims to help Lesotho's impoverished and HIV/AIDS-infected children. Harry spent part of his gap year in the country, which is landlocked by South Africa.
It was the last hurrah of Harry's excellent week-long tour of the USA, where he charmed and impressed royalists and non-royalists alike, adding considerably to his own reputation, that of his family and of Britain in general.
Not a bad week for a guy who less than a year ago was blushing over photos of himself nude in a Las Vegas hotel room. But not anymore.

Wet spring raises soybean sudden death risk
May 29th, 2013 by Ric Hanson
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The cool wet spring has delayed planting for corn farmers but it also has presented a problem for soybean producers. A soil-borne fungus that thrives in excessively wet years causes a disease known as sudden death syndrome in soybean plants. It can destroy entire fields or parts of fields. In 2010, Iowa farmers lost about 28 million bushels of soybeans to SDS.
Leonor Leandro, Iowa State University assistant professor of plant pathology, says the key is to plant resistant soybean varieties. She says conditions favoring SDS include compacted soils, soils with poor drainage, and fields with a history SDS. Leandro says a drier summer will reduce the risk of SDS. If the plants get into reproductive stages and the weather turns wet, the disease may surface.

Uh oh...now I'll have less time to work on cars, because I'll be watching OVERHAULIN' instead! Maybe you heard that all-new editions of the Velocity network's definitive car restoration series will be returning October 2, with design expert Chip Foose again hosting the show.
If you're a resto nut (why else would you be on Eastwood.com?), this is "appointment television." After all, as the father of the modern hot rod and head of the iconic Foose Designs, Foose is revered by gearheads everywhere. His car builds represent the ultimate combination of art, technology and ingenuity, creating some unique and breathtaking vehicles you'll drool over.
However, the all-new OVERHAULIN' also goes beyond the garage, exploring interesting human stories and the strong emotional connection between man and machine. The restoration projects feature deserving individuals ranging from returning veterans to those negatively impacted by the tough economy. Each altered auto becomes a life-changing surprise for its unknowing owner.
Just know—if you're looking for me on the night of October 2, I'm the guy on the couch, guarding the TV remote.

Senecas, state reach Western NY gambling deal
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced an agreement Thursday between New York state and the Seneca Nation of Indians that resolves a multi-year dispute between the state and the nation.
"This was a long-running disagreement," said Cuomo. "It was a legitimate disagreement from the Senecas' point of view, and I always believed that they had a significant point. A lot of unnecessary hardship was endured by many parties. I want to thank (President Snyder) and the tribal council for the time that they took and the attention that they brought to the matter. I want to thank them for their professionalism and partnership in this endeavor."
The agreement, which reconfirms the exclusivity of Seneca casino operations in the Western New York region, also saw the Seneca Nation agreeing to resume payments and make pro-rated repayments for past amounts that were in dispute.
"This agreement is a win-win-win; a win for the local governments of Niagara Falls, Buffalo, and Salamanca, a win for the Seneca Nation whose exclusivity will be honored, and a win for all New Yorkers with hundreds of millions of dollars coming to the state now and for the future," said Cuomo. "This agreement marks the beginning of a new chapter between the Seneca Nation of Indians and New York state, built on trust and mutual respect. I commend President Barry Snyder and the leadership of the nation for their hard work in helping reach this landmark agreement."
This was the third dispute of this manner that has been resolved recently for New York state.
"I want to thank all of the people that were involved," said Cuomo. "It's easy to continue a dispute. It's hard to stop and change the behavior. It's hard to find a path of peace. It took open minds and gracious personalities to do that."
Under the resolution, New York state and local governments will receive a total of $408 million in payments, as well as roughly $135 million annual from payments made by the Seneca Nation. In turn, Cuomo will support the exclusion of the Western New York region from bidding for any commercial gaming legislation. The state will also enforce the exclusivity zone for casino gaming, and a new dispute resolution process will be put in place to deal with any future disagreements. The video lottery facilities that are already in place at racetracks in Western New York will be allowed to continue operating.
"I'm very thankful that we were able to overcome the obstacles and come up with some sort of agreement," said Barry Snyder, Seneca Nation president. "On behalf of the Seneca Nation, we appreciate the governor's continued commitment to the economic revitalization of Western New York. I think one of the biggest downfalls between the two sovereigns is communication. Hopefully in the future we will sit down more regularly to talk about the issues that we may have."
Several other area lawmakers were in attendance for the announcement, including state Sen. Cathy Young, R-C-I Olean, and state Assemblyman Joseph Giglio, R-C-I Gowanda. In a statement released by Young and Giglio, they said that they are "ecstatic with the news that the state and the Nation have reached a positive resolution," saying that this result solves local concerns, making the city of Salamanca, the school district and Cattaraugus County whole again.
"The nation and its businesses are economic drivers for our region because they employ so many people and draw so many tourists," they said. "Gov. Cuomo and the Seneca Nation, especially President Barry Snyder and the Tribal Council, are to be commended for their willingness to come together in the spirit of cooperation. By working together, we will make great strides towards economic growth and a brighter future."
Earlier on Thursday, Lt. Gov. Bob Duffy applauded Cuomo and Snyder for engaging in this discussion due to the large impact that it could have on both the Western New York region, as well as the state as a whole.
"The greatest thing is, you have two leaders," said Duffy. "You have the leader of New York state, and you have the leader of the Sovereign Nation, the Seneca Nation, meeting face-to-face. That is the good news right there. I think the impact is very promising. It really shows great leadership from Gov. Cuomo and President Snyder, that they've taken time to meet, and I think half the opportunity and half the challenge is having the opportunity to sit down face-to-face and really have these negotiations."
For more information about Thursdays' announcement, visit www.governor.ny.gov. A full press release from Gov. Cuomo's office is available to the public.

To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them?
So muses Hamlet in Act 3, Scene 1 of Shakespeare's play of the same name. So goes the quandary faced by criminal defendants in today's criminal justice system: to plead or not to plead? Is it more advisable to suffer the ignominy of a conviction and lesser jail time up front than to press the sword of trial and hope that it doesn't turn on you, often to more deleterious effect?
Hamlet had no one to guide him honestly; the modern criminal defendant, however, does: his lawyer. And it is upon this lawyer that he relies for a frank and learned assessment of the pros and cons of the various options available to him. To argue that the decision to plead guilty or to reject an offer is not a "critical stage" of the criminal process is to disingenuously ignore the realities of this modern day system.
And yet this is precisely what agents of the various States have been arguing for many years. This is a nonsensical fight that I personally have fought for at least 5 years now, without any direct guidance from the United States Supreme Court. Until yesterday.
In two sure to be seminal cases, Lafler v. Cooper and Missouri v. Frye [both PDF], the Supreme Court unequivocally held that the right to counsel at all "critical stages" of a criminal proceeding means the right to effective assistance of counsel at those stages and yes, Dorothy, the plea bargain is a "critical stage".
The argument for this holding is best explained by stating the position of those against it. The position against is this: so long as a defendant receives a fair trial, it is irrelevant whether – and to what extent – his lawyer erred in the time leading up to that trial. Reductio ad absurdum, to these folks, if a lawyer never speaks to his client prior to the trial and conveys no offer, it doesn't matter, because the right to effective assistance of counsel only has force in the context of a criminal trial.
To a less absurd degree, take the case of Lafler, whose lawyer told him that he should reject a very favorable pre-trial offer and instead make the State prove its case because there was no way he could legally be convicted of attempted murder, since the victim was shot in the leg.
You don't need 3 years of law school and a passed bar exam to tell you that's just wrong. Stupid, wrong and dangerous. But the States would have you believe that it is of no moment that such patently faulty advice was given, because Lafler received a fair trial.
Justice Kennedy, writing for both majorities, explains it well:
The reality is that plea bargains have become so central to the administration of the criminal justice system that defense counsel have responsibilities in the plea bargain process, responsibilities that must be met to render the adequate assistance of counsel that the Sixth Amendment requires in the criminal process at critical stages. Because ours "is for the most part a system of pleas, not a system of trials," Lafler, post, at 11, it is insufficient simply to point to the guarantee of a fair trial as a backstop that inoculates any errors in the pretrial process. "To a large extent . . . horse trading [between prosecutor and defense counsel] determines who goes to jail and for how long. That is what plea bargaining is. It is not some adjunct to the criminal justice system; it is the criminal justice system."
While the significant role of plea bargaining cannot be diminished (also why ideas like taking every case to trial are stupid and unethical), I would argue that the right to effective assistance pre-trial is not a product of only that large impact of the plea process. It is also a matter of simple logic and ethical responsibility. As I've long argued, we are our clients' shepherds through this complicated quagmire that we call the criminal justice system. The layman, untrained in the nuances of this system, look to us to proffer advice and most often follow our advice. How would you feel if you were given bad advice by the person whose only responsibility was to give you good advice?
Simply put, the issue boils down to this: if you have a right to have a lawyer give you advice, then you have a right to have that lawyer give you competent advice.
This is an outcome that everyone involved – judges, prosecutors and defense attorneys – should be cheering, because it ensures that the system is fair. That is not to say that all advice given by counsel that a defendant doesn't like is per se ineffective, as some folks1 would have you believe. Rather that a court should evaluate that advice to determine whether it was sound. I suspect that in the vast majority of cases, the advice will be deemed so. But there will also be cases where, but for the misadvice of counsel, the defendant would have not been worse off.
The problem with these opinions lies – as it often does – with the remedy. Here is where I part ways with Justice Kennedy. He writes, in the context of a sentence after a jury trial and a rejected plea agreement:
The specific injury suffered by defendants who decline a plea offer as a result of ineffective assistance of counsel and then receive a greater sentence as a result of trial can come in at least one of two forms. In some cases, the sole advantage a defendant would have received under the plea is a lesser sentence. This is typically the case when the charges that would have been admitted as part of the plea bargain are the same as the charges the defendant was convicted of after trial. In this situation the court may conduct an evidentiary hearing to determine whether the defendant has shown a reasonable probability that but for counsel's errors he would have accepted the plea. If the showing is made, the court may exercise discretion in determining whether the defendant should receive the term of imprisonment the government offered in the plea, the sentence he received at trial, or something in between.
This proposed model of determining remedy is fundamentally unsound. The general underlying principle is – and should be – that the defendant, when disadvantaged by the Constitutional violation, should be placed back in the position he was in before the violation so disadvantaged him. See, e.g., Santobello v. New York. To suggest that an appropriate remedy for this Constitutional violation could be the same sentence he received as a result of this violation is incongruent and incomprehensible. In my mind, the only appropriate remedy2 is the first one: if the defendant can establish that the plea was rejected as a result of ineffective assistance and the plea would have been accepted by the judge, the only way to make the defendant whole is to sentence him to the terms of that plea. Anything else would be a band-aid on a gaping wound.
Finally, there will always be naysayers even among the defense bar. To them, I repeat words I wrote just under two years ago:
Ineffective assistance of counsel is a sort of "dirty" phrase in the criminal defense world. It is viewed by many as a personal attack and is met with scorn, anger and derision directed toward those who practice in the post-conviction arena. That this view is prevalent among the bar is alarming. It belies a fundamental misunderstanding of the duties and responsibilities of the defense lawyer in the criminal justice system.
IAC claims are not a taint on your reputation nor is it an indictment of your abilities. It is a recognition of the simple fact that we are all working within a juggernaut of a system that from time to time overwhelms even the best of us. At the end of the day, it is you and I who go home to our comfortable beds. You and I have the ability to walk outside in the free world and to buy what we choose and talk to whom we want, whenever we want. To place our petty egos and some twisted sense of self-worth before the complaints of the convicted client, who has nothing but a badly beaten and bruised writ to use to seek his release from the oppressive conditions of confinement in our penal institutions is pettiness of the ugliest kind.
This may be getting repetitive, but it cannot be said enough that in order to truly serve our clients we must view ourselves as nothing but an extension of the individual client. We must be the client, at every moment that we represent them. We – criminal defense lawyers – are not parties to a criminal case. The client is. We are his representative. We must, at all times, remember that and act like it.
1. The analogy given by the good folks at C&C is, simply put, stupid and inapposite. This is not a situation where "you offer to buy my car for $10,000. After consulting with my expert, I reject the offer. Turns out my expert gave me bad advice. The next week, I want to go through with the deal. In the meantime, though, I have wrecked the car. Would it be fair to make you pay me $10,000 for the now-wrecked car?" The expert has no duty to give me advice and my "wrecking the car" is not analogous to going to trial with that expert as my advocate.
2. The same good folks at C&C suggest that the appropriate remedy should be that "the defense lawyer should be personally liable for the cost of the trial. If the defense was the public defender's office, the cost of prosecution should be transferred from the public defender's budget to the district attorney's budget." If it wasn't clear prior to today that the good folks at C&C were only concerned with obtaining convictions and watching people murdered by the State, it should be now. Such a rigid, simplistic view of the by-its-nature murky and unclear business of assigning guilt does a disservice to everyone.

Today the issue of Scripture's truth is coming to the foreground again. There are two areas where a renewed scrutiny toward Scripture is being focused. The first concerns the referential truth of Scripture. Are the words of Scripture true? The second concerns the perspicuity of Scripture. Is Scripture clear? Keep Reading

10 surprising facts from �The Healing Powers of Coffee�
�I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.� �T.S. Eliot There is good news for those who can relate to T.S. Eliot�s sentiment about the ritualistic daily cup of coffee that over 150 million Americans reportedly consume. According to Cal Orey�s �The Healing Powers of Coffee,� starting off your day with a wisely chosen cup of Joe has undeniable health benefits and healing properties. When consumed in moderation and chosen with concern for quality, coffee has now been given a place on nutrition experts� health-food lists. No matter how you take your coffee, here are a few facts you may not know: � Coffee is loaded with antioxidants that help lower the risk of high blood pressure and cholesterol, and may reduce certain cancers, including breast, prostate and liver. � Adding milk is a good source of calcium, protein, vitamin D, and other nutrients. � Adding a little bit of honey to your coffee can help with allergies and boost your metabolism. � In moderation, coffee can help to lessen the appearance of cellulite. � Coffee has antibacterial qualities that are good for your skin and can be used in many do-it-yourself home remedy skin treatments. � While consuming too much caffeine can have negative effects, a healthy 200-300 milligrams a day can actually help boost your brain and prevent Alzheimer�s and Parkinson�s diseases. � Though artificial coffee flavorings tend to have harmful additives, spicing your coffee with cinnamon or sprinkling it with dark chocolate shavings are healthy and savory additions. � Contrary to popular belief, darker roast coffee actually has less caffeine and packs more antioxidant power than lighter brews. � Like chocolate, coffee is graded on its quality, and tasting has become a time-tested and cross-cultural art. � There are many different ways to brew coffee, varying in popularity depending on the region of the world. In fact, espresso is not a type of coffee but actually a brewing method. To learn more about the health benefits and risks of coffee, click here.

By Deborah Gates • Staff Writer • The Daily Times
SALISBURY (Oct. 3, 2010) -- Organizers of the NAACP Freedom Fund Banquet in Wicomico County have always invited a guest speaker with ties to education, but at Saturday's fifth annual milestone event, the task was reserved for a university president.
Thelma B. Thompson of the University of Maryland Eastern Shore in nearby Princess Anne warned the audience that an attitude of indifference in the current era of economic and social infirmity would erode future opportunities for the community's youth.
"The family is under assault," said Thompson, citing a growing rate of single heads of households, illness and record unemployment. "We must hold together the strength of the family through unity and solidarity. We must reach out to youth in particular."
Close to 200 people attended the banquet at First Baptist Church in Salisbury, an event that Wicomico County NAACP branch President Mary Ashanti said drew fewer guests this year because many supporters traveled to Washington that morning to attend the One Nation Working Together rally for job creation, diversity and tolerance.
She called Thompson's attendance "an important presence" as the community struggles with
economic and social issues that impact the educational performance of youth.
"This year, it was important that we got Thelma Thompson," Ashanti said of the 13th president at UMES who also is a writer and international figure in education. "If you look back, most speakers have been educators or had ties to education -- one of the No. 1 priorities for the NAACP. It is the one component that can move you from poverty to success."
Thompson spoke on the theme "embracing family, instilling education and ensuring economic security for all" and urged the audience to take command of their child's education, rather than pass off all of the responsibility to teachers and other influences.
"We must take responsibility and work with teachers," she said. "Just because you send your
child to school every day, it doesn't mean that they're learning."
Economic and social success, she said, is dependent on family engagement and education.
"The economic situation of a family drives everything else," Thompson said.
"Given the right opportunity, they can be successful; they have the brain power," Thompson also said. "(But) many end up as drug dealers."
Sandra Martin, treasurer of the Wicomico NAACP, recalled that the 1909 founding of the NAACP had a mission to "make right the injustices and unfair treatment of the Negro." While lynching and race riots of the early 20th century have passed in America, "there is still a need for the organization," she said.
The Freedom Fund Banquet is a signature fundraiser for NAACP branches across the country
to continue to fight injustices for all people, not just blacks, Martin also said.
"The cause or reason may not be lynching, but there is still the disparate treatment of human beings because of their social or economic status," Martin said. "Fighting the injustices is hard work and it takes money to move forward. The Freedom Fund Banquet is one of the sources used to help get the job done.
Ashanti called on elected officials and candidates for political office in attendance to put political
agendas aside for the common good of humanity.
Rick Pollitt, Wicomico County executive, called the occasion a time to reflect upon what's important.
Salisbury Mayor Jim Ireton praised Ashanti's efforts to help record residents for the 2010 census, calling her "a valued partner in inspiring participation."
Constance M. Stewart, director of the Sojourner-Douglass College branch on the Lower Shore,
received the NAACP branch's Community Service Award for her contributions to the community.

Iowa Health System is now UnityPoint Health
The name UnityPoint Health will soon be familiar across Iowa and beyond.
The nation's fifth largest nondenominational health system has changed its name. Officials at Iowa Health System, headquartered in Des Moines, announced Tuesday that the new name is UnityPoint Health.
Fort Dodge-based Trinity Health Systems, long a senior affiliate of Iowa Health, will be adjusting the names of its components as part of this rebranding of the entire organization.
Sue Thompson, president and chief executive officer of UnityPoint Health – Fort Dodge, said, however that the name alterations do not reflect a change in governance or management.
She said the new name is intended to better communicate the way health care delivery is evolving in the 21st century.
"The way we deliver health care is fundamentally changing," Thompson said. "And as a result, a name was needed that reflects our new way of providing care – putting the patient at the center of everything we do. Our team of physicians, hospitals, clinics and home care providers are united in purpose to achieve best outcomes for our patients. Now, our new name better expresses that."
UnityPoint Health – Fort Dodge provides coordinated care to patients throughout northwest central Iowa through clinics, hospitals and home care services. UnityPoint Health – Fort Dodge includes Trinity Regional Medical Center, Berryhill Center (formerly Berryhill Center for Mental Health, UnityPoint Clinic (formerly Trimark Physicians Group and Trinity Orthopedics), UnityPoint at Home (formerly Iowa Health Home Care) and UnityPoint Hospice (formerly Trinity Hospice).
As a result of the rebranding, the familiar Trimark name many area residents associate with the family medicine or specialty clinics where they receive care will disappear. UnityPoint Clinic will replace it.
As a part of Trinity Health Systems, Trimark Physicians Group worked closely with Trinity Regional Medical Center to form Trinity Pioneer ACO; one of only 32 Medicare Pioneer Accountable Care Organizations. With the formation of the Pioneer ACO, there has been a strong focus on care coordination.
"It was UnityPoint Health's focus on care coordination and patient centered care that made it a natural decision to change our name to UnityPoint Clinic," said Dr. Lincoln Wallace, of Fort Dodge, UnityPoint Clinic regional vice president and Trinity Pioneer ACO medical director.
Wallace said care coordination is not simply a matter of a physician making a diagnosis and prescribing a treatment.
"It means having a doctor who leads a team to help the patient over the time it takes to get well and stay well," he explained. "It sounds simple, and from the patient perspective it should be. The challenge for organizations is to transform from the traditional way of delivering health care to one in which everyone is truly aligned and focused on what really matters – you. UnityPoint Health is doing that."
The new name is intended to emphasize the comprehensive nature of the organization's relationship with the patient according to officials both in Fort Dodge and Des Moines.
"Over the years, as our team-based approach has developed and our services have expanded, we have become a point of unity for the patient," said Bill Leaver, president and chief executive officer of UnityPoint Health, in a statement released Tuesday. "Our new brand is an expression of what we mean to our patients: people who work together to provide the best outcome for every patient every time."
About?UnityPoint Health
Two decades ago, what is now UnityPoint Health was launched in Des Moines with the merger of Iowa Methodist and Iowa Lutheran hospitals. It now encompasses eight major geographic regions in Iowa and Illinois. Each of the regions has its own leadership including local boards of directors.
The eight regions within UnityPoint Health (focusing on the largest metropolitan area within that region) are Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Dubuque, Fort Dodge, Peoria, the Quad Cities, Sioux City and Waterloo.
According to information provided by UnityPoint Health, it has 24,000 employees in Iowa and Illinois and relationships with 900 physicians and providers who deliver care through 280 UnityPoint Clinics and 29 hospitals as well as in homes. UnityPoint Health's annual revenues are about $2.7 billion.
UnityPoint Health – Fort Dodge has more than 1,000 employees and 100 physicians providing care to patients throughout northwest central Iowa. In 2012, UnityPoint Health – Trinity delivered more than 530 babies, admitted 4,100 patients and had more than 21,700 emergency visits, according to information released by the medical center.

- Correspondence to Cari Levy
University of Colorado Denver and the Eastern Colorado Health Care System, 6646 E 17th Ave Denver, CO 80220, USA; cari.levy{at}ucdenver.edu
Methods, results and conclusions
This article addresses heat-related mortality among nursing home residents. It is a retrospective observational study of 95,808 nursing home residents in southwest Germany between 2001 and 2005 with an assessment of excess risk during a heat wave in 2003. Mortality increased by 26% at temperatures between 32.0–33.9 degrees Celsius and 62% at temperatures >34 degrees Celsius. During the 2003 heat wave, 400 excess deaths occurred. Persons ≥ 90 years of age and those with more significant care needs were at the greatest risk of mortality.
Critique of their conclusions
The authors conclude that high ambient temperatures are associated with an increase in mortality among the nursing …

Coming S.O.O.N: Updates on the music makings and happenings
An update in regards to the musics
So what have I been up to? Well I recently finished recording a new record that will be out this year. The record which will be brought to you by myself and my London team slash family Earnest Endeavours is called Sleeves. I think it's my strongest collection of music to date. I've been mentioning this record on my twitter and Facebook profiles for a while now, but it's finally coming. I got some guest appearances coming as well. I along with my homie Doc Illingsworth appear on the big homie Sweatson Klank/Take's new record that drops this year. On the more immediate tip, I feature along with my homies Detroit Cydi of which Illingsworth is a member of, on the new Kool A.D. mixtape that drops on the seventh of this month. You're probably very familiar with Kool A.D. from his work with his former group Das Racist. Very cool fersure. Shot outs to my bro's Rufio, Sean Uppercut, Doc Illingsorth and the big homie Kool A.D. What else hmmm I've started working on the next records. I'm in the writing phases right now, but what I can say is that expect some smaller projects to pop up throughout the year. Also being in the writing phases of the next projects I can safely say I've started penning the first lyrics for what will be material that will show up on my album. Yup, I'm finally getting around to starting that LP of mine. I got to admit I feel kind of excited about where this music thing is going. I'm feeling good. I'm Kevin Sorbo.

eLearning Characters make Great Presenters
In my last guest post, I talked about how you can use characters as eLearning avatars or guides in your eLearning courses. In addition to using characters as avatars, you can also use characters as presenters. For example, you could use a presenter as:
- A teacher in front of a blackboard
- A news anchor with a TV behind him
- An employee with a clipboard (or in front of a whiteboard or on a stage) Continue reading…

Salomon Speedcross 3 CS
Salomon Speedcross 3CS
$135, 11.2 oz, www.salomon.com
The Dirt. A winterized version of Salomon's Speedcross 3, this fall's updated model sports flashy colors, single-density foam in the heel counter (updated from dual-density in the previous model, transforming the light pronation-control shoe into a neutral ride) and waterproof-breathable Climashield technology.
Climashield lines the forefoot while a breathable lining wraps the rest of the upper and heel. Warm in colder conditions, most testers complained of overly sweaty feet in warmer temps.
Testers raved about the aggressive v-shaped, cleat-like lugs' ability to claw through mud. In fact, one tester reported feeling "invincible" on steep, muddy descents. However, another tester complained that while running over slick rocks, the cleats lacked adequate grab.
Fit. Best fits medium- to high-volume feet and runs slightly long. Salomon's quick-lace system tightens the fit easily and evenly. Overlays set closer to the midfoot (as opposed to over the metatarsals) provided a roomy and comfortable toebox for testers with wide feet.
Best For. A low-to-the-ground forefoot and raised heel make this shoe perfect for steep ascents and uphill mountain races. Aggressive lugs and Climashield technology make it ideal for technical terrain or slick, muddy inclines in cool to cold weather. While testers were wowed by the Speedcross' ability to tackle nasty terrain, they felt "disconnected" on tamer surfaces.
Tester-monial. "There are so many great features about this shoe it's hard to pick the best. The more miles I put in them, the better they felt. The Speedcross 3 CS literally wrapped around my foot while still allowing my feet plenty of room in the toebox." —Kurt Egli, Tulsa, Oklahoma


text: Admin on April 4, 2013 0 Comments I am a big fan of a sister beer from Jester King, The Wytchmaker Farmhouse Rye India Pale Ale, and only happened to pick up a bottle of El Cedro after finding the Wytchmaker out of stock at my local grocery store. I was pleasantly surprised. You can tell a lot of love was put into its making when you see its beautiful reddish hue as the beer settles in your glass. El Cedro is not your typical beer (no beer from Jester King is), and is successfully able to pull off providing the perfect balance of fruitiness with hoppiness. It is neither too fruity nor too hoppy for my taste. I would recommend this beer for anyone looking to try something new and is looking to get away from traditional ales or IPA's. It's definitely not a light beer; however, it's refreshingly smooth and it will make a great addition to my beer rotation as we head into the summer. El Cedro is an 8.0% ABV farmhouse ale brewed by Jester King in the Texas Hill Country outside of Austin, Texas. Jester King describes it's flavor by saying, "It combines tropical, fruity hop flavor and aroma with funky, barnyard yeast character and the unique flavor and aromatics of Spanish Cedar." On a scale of Piss Poor (1) to Perfection in a Glass (10), I give it an 8. How do you rate El Cedro Hoppy Cedar-Aged Ale?

Golden Gate Seminary Receives Funds for Master of Christian Counseling Degree
Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary has received a $200,000 gift for the purpose of launching a new degree program, the Master of Christian Counseling. The degree, to be offered at both California campuses, will be designed to equip men and women for a Christian counseling ministry to individuals, couples, and families in a congregational, denominational agency, counseling center, or missions setting. The gift was given by Naomi and John Paget, from Bellville, TX.
Naomi Paget graduated from Golden Gate Seminary with a Master of Divinity in 1995, and a Doctor of Ministry in 2003. She was also selected as one of the Seminary's Distinguished Alumni in June 2011. She is a Mission Service Corps missionary with the Southern Baptist Convention, and also trains chaplains and other volunteers to minister in crisis situations. Her husband, John, is the CEO of Pivot Acquisition Corp.
"We believe there is a great potential for Kingdom growth when ministers serve effectively in times of crisis…the eternal impact on lives during these times is tremendous," said the Pagets. "The need for trained counselors is so great and we are confident that this program will help provide the trained workers needed."
The development of this program will begin with a search for a new professor of Christian Counseling, who is projected to be in position by fall 2012. Other current Golden Gate faculty will also be assigned to the new counseling department. "Once we have appointed the new professor, we will begin the process of designing, accrediting, and delivering the program," said Dr. Michael Martin, Vice President of Academic Affairs for Golden Gate Seminary." He said that many of the required courses for the MACC will be available in 2012-13, and "We intend to admit students to the program in fall 2013."
Students who want to begin the program immediately may take course work in the Seminary's existing counseling concentration as part of the Master of Divinity curriculum. They may take up to 20 hours of biblical, historical, and theological studies, and then include the counseling component hours when the Master of Christian Counseling launches.
"We are grateful for the Pagets and their generosity in helping to launch this valuable degree," said Dr. Jeff Iorg, Seminary president. "Providing this program will enable the Seminary to provide desperately needed ministers in this critical area of Kingdom work."

Construction of the soaring new Cathedral of Christ the Light in Oakland, Calif., is 75 percent complete, and so diocesan officials have set the date for its solemn dedication for next September, reports The Catholic Voice, Oakland's diocesan newspaper. Among the links included in the story is one to a column by Bishop Allen H. Vigneron of Oakland, who calls the cathedral a great soaring vault designed to display natural light as a symbol for the light of Christ that fills our world. The new cathedral is a replacement for a previous structure that had to be torn down after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.

Once again, we're trying to keep the blog comments of each "Game of Thrones" episode completely free of discussion of things that are in the books but not in the show. So as I did last week, I'm setting up this discussion thread, which hopefully more of you will use this time than last week.
I'll add a link to my "What Is Dead May Never Die" review when it goes live on Sunday at 10 Eastern, and once that's up, feel free to talk about anything from any of the books in this space, while keeping all of that out of the blog comments.
Go crazy. Thanks!

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (April 25, 2012) – Two U.S. beach volleyball teams hoping to qualify for the main draw of 2012 FIVB SWATCH World Tour events fell short on Wednesday.
At the Silesia Open men's event in Myslowice, Poland, the U.S. team of Casey Jennings (Las Vegas, Nev.) and Billy Strickland (Malibu, Calif.), seeded 12th in qualifying, won their first round match over Austria's 53rd-ranked Peter Eglseer and Felix Koraimann, 21-15, 21-15 in 34 minutes.
However, Jennings and Strickland lost in the second round to Canada's 21st-seeded Maverick Hatch and Sam Schachter, 21-19, 28-26 in 44 minutes.
The men's main draw will begin on Thursday. Matt Fuerbringer (Costa Mesa, Calif.) and Nick Lucena (Santa Barbara, Calif.) will continue their battle for a U.S. Olympic qualifying spot with Jake Gibb (Bountiful, Utah) and Sean Rosenthal (Redondo Beach, Calif.).
Fuerbringer and Lucena, seeded second, will play Netherland's 31st-ranked Jon Stiekema and Christiaan Varenhorst in the first round. Gibb and Rosenthal, seeded 13th, will go up against Georgia's 20th-ranked Renato Gomes and Jorge Terceiro.
Meanwhile, at the Olympic Bay Sanya Open women's event in China, the U.S. team of Emily Day (Torrance, Calif.) and Heather Hughes (Fallbrook, Calif.), ranked 26th in qualifying, got a first round bye. But the U.S. duo lost in the second round to Netherlands' seventh-seeded Jantine van der Vlist and Merel Mooren, 13-21, 21-16, 15-12 in 54 minutes.
Meanwhile, the U.S. women's team of Lauren Fendrick (Carlsbad, Calif.) and Brooke Hanson (Woodland Hills, Calif.) has withdrawn from the event, leaving only Angie Akers (Fort Wayne, Ind.) and Brittany Hochevar (Fowler, Colo.) to represent the United States.
Akers and Hochevar are seeded sixth and will play Switzerland's 27th-ranked Tanja Goricanec and Muriel Graessli in the first round on Thursday.
Complete information about the FIVB World Tour is available on the FIVB web site.

"Don't play games that you don't understand, even if you see lots of other people making money from them. "
Flying on borrowed time
Perhaps you have access to a private jet through an owner you know. It seems like a great deal: the aircraft is available almost any time, you fly with the same crew the owner uses and you pay considerably less than standard charter rates.
Or perhaps you own a jet that's being borrowed. For you, the arrangement can seem just as attractive: You're not using the jet as much as you did before the economy tanked and modest compensation from another user can help offset ownership costs while keeping the airplane and crew from sitting idle for long periods.
So what could be better then friends helping friends? In this case, many things, as the arrangement we've described presents major risks for the borrower, the owner and the crew.
In fact, it's illegal.
The business aviation community calls these flights "Part 134½," in mocking reference to the FAA's Part 135 rules, which regulate air charter operators and operations. No statistical data exists on the extent of the practice, but business aviation insiders readily acknowledge that Part 134½ is widespread. It occurs "on a pretty regular basis," according to Mike Nichols, vice president of operations, education and economics at the National Business Aviation Association. A charter-management company executive, meanwhile, said, "Every legitimate charter operator out there is frustrated and losing a ton of business to plane owners running 134½." The executive, who requested anonymity, noted that airport businesses often sell fuel, maintenance and other services to such owners, and thus hesitate to report suspected illegal charter activity.
The truth is, if such flights proceed without incident, as they almost invariably do, there's little likelihood of any enforcement agency finding out or taking action. The FAA and the DOT already have their hands full trying to regulate shady providers in the commercial charter world. But while the chances of getting caught "borrowing" or "loaning" an aircraft are small, the risks in the event you are caught–say, in the wake of an accident–are huge.
In general, the FAA allows compensation from passengers only for flights operated by a commercial carrier, such as an airline or Part 135 charter operator. Some exceptions apply to privately operated multi-engine large aircraft (minimum 12,500 pounds) under FAR 91.501. For example, compensation is permissible for demo flights conducted pursuant to the purchase or sale of the aircraft. But none of these exceptions apply to flights involving a loaned or borrowed business jet.
Many owners are ignorant of these strictures and possible penalties, according to experts. "What I see mostly in this context are [owners] who are unaware or turn a blind eye," said aviation attorney Paul Lange of Stratford, Conn., who specializes in aviation law and enforcement actions. "Perhaps they're not sufficiently paranoid."
Part 135 charter operators must comply with higher standards than Part 91 operators in crew training, aircraft maintenance, recordkeeping and other requirements, and Part 135 aircraft have a better safety record. Your friend's crew and aircraft likely do not meet these requirements, let alone the even higher standards mandated by business aviation auditing firms, which many charter customers demand. Maybe you feel if it's safe enough for your buddy, it's safe enough for you. But Part 135 rules also include insurance requirements to ensure adequate coverage in the event an accident occurs. Whatever insurance your friend carries on the jet may be voided if an accident occurs while it is illegally carrying a passenger for hire.
"Most aviation insurance policies require compliance with FARs as a condition of coverage," said Lange. "The problem for the passenger, or any claimants involved if someone gets hurt or killed, [is that] if the insurer disclaims coverage, the passenger may only have recourse to [sue] the operator, and that's likely an entity holding nothing but debt. So there's nobody to get compensation from."
If you're the owner, you're putting your crew's licenses on the line every time you "lend" out your aircraft–even if the crew has no inkling the flight is illegal. "That's reason number one why owners should care," said Nichols. "They've invested in crew training and built rapport, so they should care about their employees' livelihoods. The pilot doesn't know if there is compensation. That happens without the crew knowing."
In addition to having their licenses suspended or revoked, crewmembers could be assessed significant fines, as could the owner. As noted above, moreover, your aircraft insurance policy may be voided if you operate a Part 91 aircraft for compensation. If an accident occurs on one of these flights, you could face millions of dollars in claims and find yourself in a legal battle with both your erstwhile friend and his insurer. This would doubtless come to the attention of the FAA, which can levy penalties of up to $11,000 per FAR violation per flight.
How much could that amount to? "I don't think anyone has ever counted that high," said Lange, noting that scores of FARs would be violated on every such mission. "You easily get up into the hundreds of thousands of dollars per flight."
And while the FAA and DOT haven't put Part 134½ operations in their crosshairs, pressure could mount for them to make an example of someone. "What we need in this industry is a couple of high-profile busts to make this go away," said Joe Moeggenberg, president and CEO of aviation consulting firm ARGUS and a strident critic of Part 134½. "In all the years I've been in this business, I can think of only one instance when a Part 91 operator was fined for operating an illegal charter."
And just because you escape notice from the FAA and your insurance company doesn't mean you're home free. "Usually these Part 134½ operators get caught by the IRS, not the FAA," said Nel Stubbs, vice president and co-owner of aviation consulting firm Conklin & de Decker. If an audit reveals that you supplied an aircraft and the crew and received money in return, the IRS may determine you owe the Federal Excise Tax that operators are obliged to collect and pay for every charter flight, and possibly penalties as well. "The IRS is much better at enforcement than the FAA," said Stubbs.
There are, of course, plenty of perfectly legal ways to access business jets or to derive revenue from one you own. If you're looking for flights, see the recently revised NBAA Aircraft Charter Consumer Guide (nbaa.org/charter). If you're an aircraft owner who wants to generate income, consider dry leases, time-sharing agreements or putting the airplane on a Part 135 certificate.
"Selling time is a good thing; it chips away at cost of ownership," said Toby Batchelder, sales manager at charter-management company Elliott Aviation. "If you want to do it, sit down and talk to your insurance company and your aviation legal team to make sure you're not exposing yourself and your pilots to any risk."
The bottom line: It's nice for friends to help friends, but when it comes to business aircraft, it's best to observe Shakespeare's advice from Hamlet: "Neither a borrower nor a lender be."
"Part 135 charter operators must comply with higher standards than Part 91 operators in crew training, aircraft maintenance, recordkeeping and other requirements, and Part 135 aircraft have a better safety record."
135 operators are required to do more "maintenace" items than a 91 operator in theory, I've seen quite a few 135 operations that have less than stellar maintenance practices. Its all paperwork, the FAA cares more about the dotted i's and crossed t's than about the physical condition of the aircraft. Its a rather large problem now days with the people in charge who think because the paperwork looks good the aircraft must be good. Small time 135 operations scrimp where they can to make ends meet, and one of the simplest ways to do that is maintenance. Now I am not saying Part 91 is any better, but required crew training is probably the biggest reason there are not more accidents in the 135 world.
I wonder if the author could address a situation where 2 separate flight departments cover each others trips occasionally when, for example, one operator is down for maintenance or their pilot is sick. No money is changing hands and they simply try to pay back roughly hour for hour. What say you?
To further comment on the above problems involved with this activity: For the aircraft operator, the IRS will not only collect excise tax on those 'charters' but on every single flight, including the perfectly legal Part 91 trips with the owner or Corporation going back for years.
For the passengers, their personal insurance policy's will likely deny payment for any loss suffered during any non-FAA Certified 'charter' flight.

If you've noticed that your dog is sleeping more than usual or has less energy on walks and around the house, you might want to make an appointment with your veterinarian. WebMD reports that lethargy can be a clinical sign of a serious health problem, such as infections, heart disease or other organ diseases. VCA Animal Hospitals reports that lethargy is a common finding in older dogs suffering from osteoarthritis.
Infections can range from upper respiratory problems to parasites like heartworms, but the news source suggests that lethargy is a common clinical sign of most infections. A veterinarian will be able to assess your dog's health and determine the reason they are more tired than normal.
Some canine diseases may also make your dog sleepy, such as heart disease or canine diabetes. Congestive heart failure is an illness that can attack the right or left side of your dog's heart. Depending on which side is affected, the clinical signs may vary slightly, but fatigue and difficulty breathing are common signs regardless of which side is affected, according to VCA.
Pay attention to how often your dog rests, and if it seems to be more than normal, or if you notice other clinical signs of health issues, take your pet to see a veterinarian. Even if there's nothing wrong, it's better to be sure and avoid the risk of a serious health problem getting worse.

Straight from the fridge to the oven.
It is easier to work my high hydration doughs cold.
To cut down flour on our crust, we use a soft brush to clean up any remaining flour off the formed dough sides and top before adding sauce and toppings.
I always take the dough out and let it sit for 2-1/2 to 3 hours, bringing it up to room temperature. During this time the dough rises and I always thought that this was necessary to further develop the dough. Not being anything close to an expert, am I wrong in this assumption?
It depends upon the profile of your dough. If you are making a same day dough, you would need to let it rise after a cold rest. If you are doing a 48 hour cold dough, there is no need for additional rise.

Skip to comments.Obama supporters celebrate: 'No more Israel!'
Posted on 11/08/2012 8:43:25 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
Obama supporters out celebrating his win on election night gathered on State Street Tuesday evening. I asked one man why he was celebrating Obama, and what that meant to him. He said, "It really means to me, no more Israel...Mitt Romney would go to war with Iran...Obama said f*** that sh*t. Kill those mother f***ers."
Another said, "Palestine was there first, and Israel moved in in the 1940s and that's an unfair attack." A man of Jewish heritage accompanying him said, "I really do not think that us being with Israel is a good choice for us":(continued w/video)
(Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...
That's, quite possibly, the most ignorant statement I have ever heard/read. Just wow.
"...Another said, "Palestine was there first..."
Someone please show me where, in the recorded history of mankind, there has ever been a sovereign nation named, "Palestine"....
It is written in the Bible that Israel will stand alone forsaken by all its former allies.
Mr O's gonna help usher in that end time, just like his buddy Imadinnerjacket is gonna bring about his mahdi...two sides of the same coin. One man's mahdi is another man's antichrist.
Yep, dark days ahead...
All of these statements echo 1930s Germany. They are truly members of the National Socialist Democrat Party.
They can shout their "Heil Obama" and I will shout my FUBO & FAD
Liberals destroy. I can't think of anything, seriously, they've ever done that's turned out well.
Political correctness, designed to protect only those from left wing voting blocks, has done more damage to the world than any war in world history. Forcing people to think and act contrary to their conscience creates hate. Hate creates violence. Violence creates war.
What the liberals have done to "help mankind" has and will harm more humans than people could possibly imagine.
They've managed to remove the Commandments from the public square and replace them with a doctrine of demons. A world full of sin cannot and will not survive.
Report: Florida Crowd Chants 'Hail Obama'
"Another said, "Palestine was there first"
That's, quite possibly, the most ignorant statement I have ever heard/read. Just wow."
And you wonder how Mitt Romney lost the election???
He spent the first 4 years of his presidency and our resources strengthening the Islamic empire. He's the one the Muslims have been waiting for.
For the first 3 1/2 years, he showed himself as a man of peace as prophesied. It's the second 3 1/2 years that exposes him.
The Mahdi in the Koran and the Anrichrist in the Bible (same man) describes a man who hates the Jews (Israel) and hates the Christians (U.S.A). His goal is to destroy them both.
Things seem to be moving right along on schedule.
Israel will continue to exist. It's the U.S.A. that will be gone.
They're too stupid to even spell it correctly; it's "Heil Obama!"
Well put. Northeast Jews are blind to the fact that the Dems will soon be persecuting them.
Read this article -
Israel is a nuclear power and will go out with a large bang. Of course, considering such consequences is light years beyond this president's thought process. And the media will blame Bush and the Republicans, so it's okay. /sarc
Shocking, but not surprising.
Remember the Democrat Convention? Despising God, Jews, Jerusalem and Israel were all the order of the day and broadcast for the American public to watch.
Apparently, a majority of them liked what they saw. Because the reelected the man who orchestrated it.
Actually the chubby white guy at end of clip wasn't too far off - saying if Iran closes of Straits then Israel is going to blow you off the map. So at least from a pragmatic negotiating point - I think the guy got it right. Obama will go to Iran and say look if you close of the Straits and you don;t stop building the nuclear bomb then we're going to step back and let Israel blow you off the map.
Jews are, and have been, a part of Palestine for all of recorded history.
No surprise.
I'm betting a lot of them will be standing in line to work the showers and crematories when the camps are set up.
They are at the vanguard of der Fuehrer's national socialist movement.
sounds like the Brown Shirts and the Kapos, what happened to "never again"...
Now that he's leading them by the nose to "tax the rich," it's just a slight modification to get them chanting "tax the Jews," then "kill the jews."
Germany indeed.
You haven't shown that there has ever been a sovereign nation called "Palestine"....Throughout recorded history, "Palestine" has only been a region...much like what we call in the USA the midwest, ergo "midwesterners"....
There has never been a Palestine nation....
The True History of Palestine: The Nation-State Fallacy By William John Hagan The Houston Home Journal (Warner Robins, GA) Print Edition 08/24/2005 The current debate on the inevitable future of the ?Palestinian Nation? seems to lack one simple fact: Palestine has no past and was never a sovereign nation. The closest thing the Palestinian people have to a history is that there was once a British Colony from which they had stolen their modern name. After the Allied victory in World War Two, it became clear to even the most anti-Semitic Westerners that the Jewish People deserved to have their nation restored. The Nation of Israel?s first record of historically existence is a mention in the Book of Exodus (3:16),however, even earlier references are made in Genesis to the tribes of Israel. It is both biblical and historical fact that Israel was founded by Moses after the Jewish expulsion from Egypt by Ramases II. This would place this event sometime between 1290 and 1224 BC. The reality that the Palestinians want to keep from you is that there has been a Jewish presence in Israel for almost 3300 years. The history of the Palestinian People in far more recent than that of their Jewish neighbors. In fact, ?Palestine? was created by the British Empire in the days after World War II. According to RockwellLazareth author of the essay ?Who are the Palestinians??, ?There has never been a civilization or a nation referred to as Palestine and the very notion of a Palestinian Arab nation having ancient attachments to the Holy Land going back to time immemorial is one of the biggest hoaxes ever perpetrated upon the world! There is not, nor has there ever been, a distinct Palestinian culture or language. Further, there has never been a Palestinian state governed by Arab Palestinians in history, nor was there ever a serious Arab-Palestinian national movement until 1964.? The most disturbing reality is that the ?Palestinians? are not even Arabs at all but Canaanites who have over the years adopted Arab culture and language. For all their history, the Canaanites have been a nomdic sea-faring people who traveled between such nations as Lebannon, Syria,and Turkey but making a premenant home in no land. The British allowed these modren Palastinian Canaanites to set up their tents in colonial Palestine so they could be used as a cheap source of labor for the citrus industry. This historical fact leaves the so-called Palestinians with a far more blundering claim to Israel than illegal Mexican immigrants would have to the United States. [B]Visit link for the remainder of this article.[/
Why should I care when American Jews clearly don't?
Obama knows his personal legacy will be secured in this history of the international world in establishing the Palestinian State. Nation creation is a strategic event that comes once in a generation and he has four years to do it, with Ambassador Susan Rice as the new Secretary of State. It is a natural reaction to most megalomaniacs thriving on cult of personality looking to make the most worldy impact that he would put focus on making this happen. Israel must understand this reality and plan accordingly.
I tinks youse need to learn history befour youse make such silly statements.
there r many sources... right down to the romans
What does "first" really mean? Who gets to define "first?"
The Philistines seem to have come from the Aegean area about the same time as the Israelite invasion across the Jordan. They are one of the Sea Peoples mentioned in Egyptian records as "Peleset."
Yep, it's all going to happen when Ariel Sharon dies, he has been in a comma for 7 years, a rabbi predicted the messiah would come after Ariel dies, but is the messiah the true or false messiah, scary times!
I don't know where there are any Neanderthals now...but maybe Democratic campaign offices would be a good place to start looking for some.
These are America's self proclaimed "smart" people? Oh my.
I am a Christian, not a Jew. I have a feeling though that if Obama does something adverse to Israel he will have a major portion of the population outside his window.
IMO would be the wrong and dumb move.
EVERY Israel hater is dominated by Satan. Satan is the only being in the universe to have cause to hate Israel that much. The Bible promises that those who hate Israel will pay for it.
Obama supporters on the floor of the Democrat convention...."No more God !"
What's next?...."No more Constitution"???
"No more elections"???
Obama Supporters: President's Re-election Means 'No More Israel'
by John Rossomando Nov 8, 2012 at 1:28 pm
"Several Obama supporters told conservative blogger Anne Sorock of RebelPundit.com on video election night following President Obama's re-election that they hope that it means the end of Israel.
Sorock captured the video as a group of pro-Obama revelers as the gathered along State Street in downtown Chicago to celebrate and posted it on the Rebel Pundit blog."
