UPDATE: The NCAA put out the following release, correcting an education column that appeared on its website Wednesday which said coaches could not use Instagram to send photos to recruits.
The NCAA says there is no ban on the app because it does not consider Instagram filters "content alteration." Read Thursday afternoon's release:
An NCAA educational column posted online that discussed the alteration of photos used for recruiting purposes has generated much discussion because of its inclusion of Instagram as an example. The educational column is being updated. The NCAA has issued the following statement:
"Schools can and do use Instagram in all sorts of ways: to promote events, post game highlights and give a sense of what it's like to be on campus We at the NCAA regularly use Instagram for similar purposes.
"There is no NCAA ban of Instagram. Schools just can't alter the content of photos – and to be clear, we do not consider Instagram's filters as content alteration – and then email them directly to recruits."
EARLIER: Instagram, the digital photo filter app best known for making your lunch appear more appetizing than it really is, is under scrutiny by the NCAA.
In an education column on the NCAA's website posted Wednesday, the organization explains that coaches are not allowed to use Instagram before sending a photo to a recruit. Here's the excerpt:
Question: May a coach take a photo and use software (e.g., Instagram, Photoshop, Camera Awesome, Camera+,) to enhance the content of the photo (e.g., changed color of photo to sepia tones or add content to the photograph), and send it to a prospective student-athlete as an attachment it to an email or direct social media message?
Answer: No, a photograph that has been altered or staged for a recruiting purpose cannot be sent to a prospective student-athlete.
Using an Instagram filter is different than doctoring a photo to make it look like a recruit was wearing a certain team uniform, or something of that nature. It's changing the lighting. It's why we use it to take and share photos of our delicious home-cooked meals with friends (because we may not be good cooks, but everything looks tastier with the "earlybird" filter.)
The NCAA still leaves some unanswered questions related to Instagram use. How does this give one coach a recruiting advantage over another? What if a coach uses the app to take the photo but doesn't apply a filter -- is that kosher? And what if a coach posts a photo from Instagram onto his Twitter feed, like Kentucky coach John Calipari does? Is that OK because it's not sent directly to a recruit?
So many questions. So many filters. So little time.
(Thanks, John Infante for the tip.)

It's mid-July. Do you know how your lineup looks?
Cam Charron
July 15 2013 09:23AM
Right into the dog days of summer as the initial free agent frenzy appears to be over.
The best players still available in free agency are Tom Gilbert and Mikhail Grabovski. Since the Toronto Maple Leafs are forbidden from signing one of those players and don't have an awful lot of money left for the second, it's safe to say that any roster tweaks that appear between now and September 15th will be minor. Not that there's a problem with that, because the top six looks pretty good on paper, but because the Leafs didn't improve in the spots it needed to improve.
So before getting into a few important statistics about play by Leafs centremen in split zone start situations, let's kick off the week by looking at what Toronto has on July 15, ten days after free agency began. Seems like a good jumping-off point. Salary info via Capgeek.
Tyler Bozak ($4.2-million)
Dave Bolland ($3.375-million)
Jay McClement ($1.5-million)
Joe Colborne ($600K)
Trevor Smith ($550K)
Nazem Kadri (RFA)
I didn't think it was possible for the Leafs to downgrade at this position, but here we are. Despite the calls for a No. 1 centreman in Toronto and the assurance during the frenzy that the Leafs weren't paying Bozak to be a No. 1 centreman, the Leafs will not go into next season with a No. 1 centreman.
Not too worried about Nazem Kadri's situation and neither should you. I'm guessing Kadri wants something long-term while Nonis wants a bridge contract, and given Kadri is coming off what will probably be his highest On-Ice Sh% season of his career, it's probably preferable for Nonis to play hardball here. Still, Kadri may miss a few days of training camp but I don't think he has the leverage for an extended holdout. Bolland is listed as the second C here, but Kadri will have the second-line C spot on this team.
Phil Kessel ($5.4-million)
David Clarkson ($5.25-million)
Colton Orr ($925K)
There is a hole here thanks to Clarke MacArthur's departure, and may be filled by a minor leaguer like Tyler Biggs or Josh Leivo. Despite the departure of MacArthur, Randy Carlyle's reluctance to play him in higher-leverage situations means that Toronto does have an upgrade in the top six for next season—I'd rather David Clarkson on Nazem Kadri's wing than Colton Orr or Matt Frattin, and I think Clarkson and Kadri's games complement each other's quite well. Kadri is a puck-control player that creates shots on goal, while Clarkson drives to the net and takes them.
Phil Kessel is around for at least the start of one more season and I'd like to see the Leafs re-up him for a not-too-crazy deal. The maximum term they gave give him would take him through his 34-year-old season. I'd rather see him get more dollars and less term but I suspect Nonis feels differently.
Joffrey Lupul ($5.25-million)
James van Riemsdyk ($4.25-million)
Nikolai Kulemin ($2.8-million)
Frazer McLaren ($700K)
Joe Colborne's a left shot as well, so he'll likely play on this wing if he makes the team. Even Randy Carlyle didn't play both Frazer McLaren and Colton Orr every night, so the Leafs will need somebody to rotate in and out of that fourth line winger job that's waiver-exempt, so that could be Colborne, or Jerry D'Amigo or they could flip Carter Ashton back to his natural wing.
With the exception of Facepuncher No. 2, the Leafs look pretty good at left wing if Joffrey Lupul can continue firing pucks in the net at a rate above 12%. Both Kulemin and van Riemsdyk would look excellent on Clarkson's other wing, and either way, the Leafs will have a two-way winger slot alongside David Bolland on the third line unless the team does something stupid like trade away the other guy that speaks English.
Dion Phaneuf ($6.5-million)
Korbinian Holzer ($787,000)
Cody Franson (RFA)
This looks pretty thin. Had the Leafs concentrated on the centres and the right-side D going into the offseason rather than top six wingers and goaltending, they'd have gone into this week with a significantly-better team. This would be the appropriate spot for Tom Gilbert, and letting Korbinian Holzer become a depth option rather than one expected to play as an everyday player. They won't do something colossally stupid like play him alongside Dion Phaneuf again.
Cody Franson being an RFA scares me more than Kadri. With six years of pro experience, I'm quite surprised that Franson didn't file for arbitration when he could have. He played 18:47 per game last season and had 29 points, which is impressive for any defenceman over an 82-game season, much less 48 (although he played just 45 games). Maple Leafs Hot Stove had a theory on why Franson chose not to go the arbitration route, but I doubt that Franson would want a long-term deal now. On June 30, 2014, he would be 27 years old and thus eligible for Group 3 unrestricted free agency and make a whole lot more money.
Franson to me is a player that you lock down for a few years and take a salary cap hit because he has some top four potential. His defensive game showed last season and he's a terrific puck-mover. Him and Jake Gardiner looked fabulous together in their brief moments with each other in the playoffs, and I like the idea of partnering him with a player that can skate.
Note that Morgan Rielly could start the year here, but the better plan is to have him back in junior and develop another year. While he won't be on a good team if he stays with the Moose Jaw Warriors, that's probably the preferred situation since it means he can go play in the AHL sooner and spend some regular season time with the Toronto Marlies.
John-Michael Liles ($3.875-million)
Jake Gardiner ($1,116,667.00)
T.J. Brennan ($600K)
Carl Gunnarsson (RFA - Arbitration)
Mark Fraser (RFA - Arbitration)
I'd expect Carl Gunnarsson to get a little under $3-million and Fraser could get a little over $1-million. Still, not buying out John-Michael Liles looks a little silly. The Leafs added T.J. Brennan, another offensive player that can skate and there's no way they can hold Gardiner back from being an everyday player this season.
I guess there's the possibility of the more offensive Brennan moving to the right side to capitalize on his skating and shooting talents, but despite the five players the Leafs will have under contract to start the season, there are a lot of questions. How durable is Gunnarsson? His injury really melted his play last season. That and the tough minutes and Gunnarsson had a career-low -14.21 Corsi/ON per 60 minutes of play. I like him, but who plays alongside Phaneuf in the absence of Mike Kostka?
Jonathan Bernier ($2.9-million)
James Reimer ($1.8-million)
Two potential 55-game players for real cheap. In a vacuum this looks excellent. Let's keep it in a vacuum.
I gave Gunnarsson the same money as Karl Alzner, I gave Kadri Matt Duchene money and I gave Mark Fraser $950K. I'm not too sure on comparables for Cody Franson, since his ice-time and point totals were elevated this season. We'll go with James' estimate of $2.85-million although I think the Leafs would be wise to sign whatever will keep him around for four years.
Those bullish estimates on Leafs restricted free agents puts the team at 24 players and $1.2-million over the salary cap. Can get under that by demoting Smith and Brennan, so we'll put the Leafs at 22 players to start the season.
Remember when the Leafs had space to work with and spent half of it on Tyler Bozak? The potato did pretty well last week, in my opinion.
Joffrey Lupul - Tyler Bozak - Phil Kessel
James van Riemsdyk - Nazem Kadri - David Clarkson
Nikolai Kulemin - David Bolland - Tyler Biggs
Frazer McLaren - Jay McClement - Colton Orr
(Joe Colborne)
Carl Gunnarsson - Dion Phaneuf
Jake Gardiner - Cody Franson
John-Michael Liles - Korbinian Holzer
(Mark Fraser)
Jonathan Bernier
James Reimer
Looks good. I would start Reimer though.
It's of enduring mystery to me how we started off the summer with lots of cap space and now find ourselves with (1) negative cap space; (2) fewer NHL players; and (3) overall worse situations at forward and defense.
July 15 2013, 10:49AM
Ugh. Not the worst I guess, but it was so easy to put together much better theoretical lineups a couple weeks ago.
Any idea how much Tom Gilbert would sign for? If he could be signed and Liles moved, that would seem a fairly significant upgrade.
The top 6 forwards (minus Bozak) and top 4 D are passable, but the depth on this team is gag-inducing.
After reading this I still wonder how guys that get the job as manager for the Leafs are so brainless that they would not follow the advice of well respected Leaf followers. How could the Leafs screw it up so badly as to let a guy who makes over 5.5m go and produced little in the last year and go for an energy guy that will add bite to the team. All I have heard from the couch(potato)managers is how bad the guy that gets paid to do the job has done. Do the Leafs need more pieces? Yes. Upgrade on D from Kostka, Holtzer and Mcwhatever. A 1st. line center would be nice, did anyone see a real grabber available in free agency there? I get it, that when you write a blog or whatever you do need some controversy, but it would also be nice to have some positive support for what has been done.
July 15 2013, 11:11AM
How this should work.
1) Read 2) Comprehend 3) Comment
I think you missed a step or two.
0% chance that Biggs makes the NHL this year, or next. Still learning the pro game and getting his game under him. He's on the Marlies for 2 years minimum.
D'Amigo and Carter Ashton would be the 2 players that could take that spot internally.
The thing is, we were rolling with 3 potentially offensive lines last year, with the third being Kulemin, Grabo and MacArthur. That's not how Carlyle runs his lines. We have a solid checking line now and our Top 9 looks more like what it should be with Carlyle. It must have been torture for those 3 to play that checking line. Whatever your opinions on those guys are, they weren't fitting into Toronto. So in that sense, we got an "upgrade".
It's a little unfair that everyone's pinning this blame on Nonis when it's the teams decision as a whole, including Carlyle. Nonis just puts the final stamp on it. Thus making all this heat Nonis is getting simply ridiculous. Everyone's calling for Burke back when, believe it or not, this is the team Burke would have wanted, ya goofs.
TL;DR This is Carlyle's team, deal with it. Don't like it? Ask for Wilson back. We all know how well that went.
Gonna stick with this prediction: Leafs place Bottom 5 in Fenwick again this season and still make the playoffs.

Finally someone who gets it. I loved grabo (bought his jersey a few years back) and think he is a great player... but if we are going to play him 10 minutes a night I understand why he had to go.
Truth is, I have never enjoyed hockey as much as this year when we steam rolled over Montreal and Ottawa. That's the hockey I like to watch, and the hockey that wins cups. We are going to be a beast next year. Bolland is gunna kill it playing for Carlyle and Clarkson will be a fan favourite (we can worry about that contract in a few years).
July 15 2013, 01:33PM
Here's the thing. It's possible (with careful cap management) to have 3 scoring lines AND a shutdown line, if you ditch the goon line.
That's what most of us here wanted I think.
July 15 2013, 02:17PM
5 more years of a 3rd line center as our #1C. I hope to god that Kessel does not waste his prime with god-awful Bozak as his center, please god dont do this...
I'm still baffled as to how the Leafs missed getting Crosby and Weber this year in free agency!!
I like how the Leafs are shaping up, would have preferred bringing up some young talent to give them chance.
I would switch Lupul and JVR, prefer Kadri with Lupul and Clarkson.
Colborne where Biggs is, Biggs get some more AHL experience dont think he is NHL ready, maybe Ashton, or D'Amigo as extra forward.
Holzer replaced with Brennan
Never liked the terms of contracts they were to long and risky.
Waiting on RFA's to decide my over all opinion on what has happened so far. If Leafs can sign them and stay under cap no harm done.
Not me at 2:26. Nice lineup but Missing a bigtime top center, again
0% chance that Biggs makes the NHL this year, or next. Still learning the pro game and getting his game under him. He's on the Marlies for 2 years minimum.
D'Amigo and Carter Ashton would be the 2 players that could take that spot internally.
Agreed.... and good to see you old friend!
I'm still baffled as to how the Leafs missed getting Crosby and Weber this year in free agency!!
Not much in free agency this year, it's true; but apparently Horcoff & Seguin were available as trades. Either is an upgrade on Bozak, talent-wise; Horcoff also adds veteran leadership as well as bona fide defensive prowess. A little birdie told me that Setoguchi was available for cheap as well; and rumour has it that Gagner is available (for the record: younger, better scorer, better playmaker; lousy faceoff man).
Free agency is about adding assets; trades are about maximizing those assets. Signing Bozak to the deal they have means that they cannot add a #1 C(or a top-4 defenceman)in trade.
July 16 2013, 10:10AM

DUBAI, U.A.E., 29th November 2012: The Emirates Group celebrated the UAE's 41st National Day through a range of activities at its headquarters in Dubai. His Highness (H.H.) Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline & Group, planted a 'Union Tree' commemorating the formation of the United Arab Emirates in front of the Emirates Group headquarters. The tree was planted in line with 'The Union Tree Initiative' spearheaded by H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai., The Initiative has seen tens of thousands of trees being planted across the nation since being launched on November 15 as part of the National Day celebrations.
In addition, Emirates staff took part in the celebration at a specially-built Emirati heritage corner constructed for the event and staff saw demonstrations of traditional crafts, Bedouin life and sampled traditional Emirati cuisine. The seven story atrium of the building was adorned with UAE flags and banners and Emirates employees wore scarves bearing the flags of the state and the national anthem.
"The celebrations we have seen today demonstrate our pride and loyalty towards the state and we are pleased to see our employees who belong to hundreds of different nationalities from around the world gather today to celebrate the National Day; honouring the UAE which has become their home and adopted country," said HH Sheikh Ahmed.
The tree planting event was witnessed by a number of senior Emirates Airline and dnata officials including: Ali Mubarak al Soori, Executive Vice President Chairman's Office, Facilities and Project Management; Ismail Ali Albanna, Executive Vice President dnata; Nabil Sultan, Divisional Senior Vice President Revenue Optimisation and Distribution; Adnan Kazim, Divisional Senior Vice President Planning and Research; Mohammed Al Khaja Senior Vice President Crew Operations and Contingency Planning; Ahmed Khoory, Senior Vice President Commercial Operations West Asia and Indian Ocean; and Salem Obaidalla, Senior Vice President Commercial Operations Far East and Australasia.

By Brendan Conway
The competition in exchange-traded fund land certainly is heating up. Market watchers have been chastised for calling it a price war, which, in truth, I guess it isn't — not if prices are already cut for the big, generic ETFs.
To borrow from Clausewitz, it's war by other means. When expense ratios are close, other qualities become the deciding factor — for instance, bid-ask spreads, trading volume, or index choice.
I spoke with Fran Kinniry, a principal in Vanguard's investment strategy group, by phone this afternoon on the subject. In a not-so-veiled critique of BlackRock's (BLK) new core ETFs, Kinniry said it's tough to convince investors to leave what they're using today over a matter of a few basis points.
"This is for any product — when there's not a significant price difference, the other costs become the primary driver," Kinniry said. "You need to enter with a very, very unique product," Kinniry added. "[Or if] there are well-traded alternatives, the price discount had better be pretty darn severe."
Building big enough trading volume, and the tight bid-ask spreads that accompany it, can be a chicken-and-egg issue unless there's a very clear incentive to switch, Kinniry said. "Advisors and [many] institutions couldn't touch [a fund with] trading volume like this," he said, referring to what's been seen in the first few days of trading in BlackRock's new ETFs. "Forget these new funds. … [A]ll new ETFs that have not had a substantial discount have had a hard time gaining volume," he said.
Volume in the iShares "core" funds has actually been pretty good, given that they're new ETFs. They're still nowhere near what the established products have and may not be for some time. The iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (IEMG) traded less than 9,800 shares today, according to FactSet Research Systems. On Wednesday, the figure was nearly 150,000. Vanguard Emerging Markets (VWO), the biggest EM ETF by assets, had 11.5 million. The figure for the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund (EEM), often preferred by institutions, was 41 million.
Kinniry said he's seen clients impressed with the big expense-ratio difference between Vanguard Emerging Markets (VWO), at 0.20%, and the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund (EEM), at 0.67%. That doesn't make as much sense when compared to the reaction to smaller percentage differences that matter more when the portfolio weight is bigger.
Kinniry said some clients are less impressed with the 22-basis point difference between the developed-world Vanguard MSCI EAFE ETF (VEA) and the iShares MSCI EAFE (EFA), at 0.34%.
But measured in raw dollars, it's usually better, Kinniry notes. That's because the typical investor buys more developed-world exposure than emerging markets. Let's say you split a $100,000 portfolio between 75% wealthy-country stock markets and 25% emerging-markets. In dollars, you'd save $220 per year in the 75% of the pie that is the developed world, using VEA versus EFA. Though the percentage difference is bigger in the smaller emerging-markets slice, the savings would amount to a smaller $117.50.
If the difference amounts to two basis points under Vanguard Emerging Markets' (VWO) 0.20% — that's what IEMG charges — then other factors are likely to win out.
But the difference turns out to be more than that. Or, it will be soon. That's throwing in the upcoming Vanguard index changes, in which the company will shift several popular funds to FTSE Group indexes, away from MSCI Inc. (MSCI). Investors will need to weigh index construction, investment mandates and more.
"To be blunt, investors need to make a choice which index vendor and asset manager they're going to go with," Kinniry says.

Dan Paille was the overtime hero, giving the Boston Bruins a 2-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks in Game Two, evening the Stanley Cup Final at one win apiece.
Not only did Paille score the game-winning goal, but he also created the scoring chance that led to Boston's first goal, deking Blackhawks D Nick Leddy behind the Chicago net and Paille's scoring attempt coming from behind the net led to Chris Kelly knocking in the rebound. It was Kelly's first goal of the playoffs.
Chicago has been the team getting more production throughout the playoffs from their depth forwards. Forwards that have played fewer than 17 minutes per game in the playoffs for Boston have scored nine goals (three from injured C Gregory Campbell), including both in Game Two. Blackhawks forwards under that same ice time threshold have scored 22 goals.
Chicago opened the game utterly dominating Boston, outshooting the Bruins 19-4 in the first period (30-5 in shot attempts), before Boston balanced the scales, outshooting Chicago 24-15 over the rest of the game.
Despite that early dominance, Chicago only scored once, a goal by Patrick Sharp, giving him nine goals in the postseason. Chicago could have had another goal, but what appeared to be a goal by Marian Hossa was disallowed when it was ruled that the referee blew the whistle. Sharp and Hossa tied with a game-high seven shots on goal, while Hossa, Jonathan Toews and Michal Rozsival had the strongest possession numbers of the night.
Bruins RW Jaromir Jagr, still searching for his first goal of the playoffs, led the Bruins with five shots on goal and fired a puck off the crossbar in overtime.
Bruins LW Milan Lucic didn't register a shot on goal, but had 10 hits, all of which came in the first two periods.
The Blackhawks' inability to put the Bruins away early came back to haunt them. Through the ebbs and flows of the first two games, it's been evident that Chicago can control play using their speed and puck skills, while the Bruins can shift the tenor of the game when they get physical and force turnovers on the forecheck. At different times, in both games, each team has held the advantage playing to their respective strengths.
That Boston returns home with a split, however, gives them the slight advantage going forward but, as one might expect when the first two games go to overtime, there is a very fine line between winning and losing in this series.

Posted on 06/28/2006 11:25:07 AM PDT by Salvation
Planned Parenthood Celebration Jolted by Abortion Survivor TED HARVEY
She sings the anthem to applause, then her secret is revealed to stunned silence.
Gianna Jessen
I was leaving the House chambers for the weekend when our Democrat speaker of the House announced that the coming Monday would be the final day of this year's General Assembly. He went on to state that there were still numerous resolutions on the calendar which we would need to be addressed prior to the summer adjournment. Interestingly, he specifically mentioned that one of the resolutions we would be hearing was being carried by the House Majority Leader Alice Madden, honoring the 90th anniversary of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains.
As a strong pro-life legislator I was disgusted by the idea that we would pass a resolution honoring this 90-year legacy of genocide. I drove home that night wondering what I could say that might pierce the darkness during the debate on this heinous resolution.
On Saturday morning, I took my 8-year-old son up to the mountains to go white-water rafting. The trip lasted all day. As we were driving home, exhausted and hungry, I remembered that I had accepted an invitation to attend a fundraising dinner that night for a local pro-life organization. One of my most respected mentors had personally called me several weeks earlier and asked me to attend, so I knew I'd have to clean up and head over.
After our meal, the executive director of the organization introduced the keynote speaker. I looked up and saw walking to the stage a handicapped young lady being assisted to the microphone by a young man holding a guitar.
Her name was Gianna Jessen.
Gianna said "Hello," welcomed everyone, and then sang three of the most beautiful Christian songs I have ever heard.
She then began to give her testimony. When her biological mother was 17 years old and seven and a half months pregnant, she went to a Planned Parenthood clinic to have an abortion. As God would have it, the abortion failed and a beautiful 2-pound baby girl was brought into the world. Unfortunately, she was born with cerebral palsy and the doctors thought that she would never survive. The doctors were wrong.
Imagine the timing! A survivor of a Planned Parenthood abortion arrived in town just days before the Colorado House of Representatives was to celebrate Planned Parenthood's "wonderful" work.
As I listened to Gianna's amazing testimony, the Lord inspired me to ask her if she could stay in Denver until Monday morning so that I could introduce her on the floor of the House and tell her story. Perhaps she could even begin the final day's session by singing our country's national anthem!
To my surprise she said she would seriously consider it. If she were to agree, she wanted her accompanying guitarist to stay as well. A lady standing in line behind me waiting to meet Gianna overheard our conversation and said that she would be willing to pay for the guitarist's room. Gianna then said that she would think about it.
As I was driving home from the banquet, my cell phone rang. It was Gianna, and she immediately said, "I'm in, let's ruin this celebration." Praise God!
When Monday morning came, I awoke at 6 a.m. to write my speech before heading to the Capitol. As I wrote down the words, I could sense God's help and I knew that this was going to be a powerful moment for the pro-life movement.
Following a committee hearing, I rushed into the House chambers just as the opening morning prayer was about to be given. Between the prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance, I wrote a quick note to the speaker of the House explaining that Gianna is an advocate for cerebral palsy. I took the note to the speaker and asked if I could have my friend open the last day of session by singing the national anthem. Without any hesitation the speaker took the microphone and said, "Before we begin, Representative Harvey has made available for us Gianna Jessen to sing the national anthem."
Gianna sang the most amazing rendition of The Star Spangled Banner that you could possibly imagine. Every person in the entire chamber was completely still, quiet and in awe of this frail young lady's voice.
Due to her cerebral palsy, Gianna often loses her balance, and shortly after starting to sing she grabbed my arm to stabilize herself, and I could tell that she was shaking. Suddenly, midway through the song, she forgot the words and began to hum and then said, "Please forgive me; I am so nervous." She then immediately began singing again and every House member and every guest throughout the chambers began to sing along with her to give her encouragement and to lift her up.
As I looked around the huge hall I listened to the unbelievable melody of Gianna's voice being accompanied by a choir of over 100 voices. I had chills running all over my body, and I knew that I had just witnessed an act of God.
As the song concluded the speaker of the House explained that Gianna has cerebral palsy and is an activist to bring awareness to the disease. "Let us give her a hand not only for her performance today, but also for her advocacy work," he said. The chamber immediately exploded into applause she had them all in the palm of her hand.
The speaker then called the House to order, and we proceeded as usual to allow members to make any announcements or introductions of guests. For dramatic effect, I waited until I was the last person remaining before I introduced Gianna.
As I waited for my turn, I nervously paced back and forth praying to God that he would give me the peace, confidence and the courage necessary to pull off what I knew would be one of the most dramatic and controversial moments of my political career.
While I waited, a prominent reporter from one of the major Denver newspapers walked over to Gianna and told her that her rendition captured the spirit of the national anthem more powerfully than any she had ever heard before.
Finally, I was the last person remaining. So, I proceeded to the microphone and began my speech.
"Members, I would like to introduce you to a new friend and hero of mine her name is Gianna Jessen. She is visiting us today from Nashville, Tennessee, where she is an accomplished recording artist.
At this point the chamber exploded into applause which lasted for 15-to-20 seconds. Gianna had touched their souls.
"She has cerebral palsy and was raised in foster homes before being adopted at the age of four.
"She was born prematurely and weighed only 2 pounds at birth. She remained in the hospital for almost three months. A doctor once said she had a great will to live and that she fought for her life. Eventually she was able to leave the hospital and be placed in foster care.
"Because of her cerebral palsy, her foster mother was told that it was doubtful that she would ever crawl or walk. She could not sit up independently. Through the prayers and dedication of her foster mother, she eventually learned to sit up, crawl, then stand. Shortly before her fourth birthday, she began to walk with leg braces and a walker.
"She continued in physical therapy and after a total of four surgeries, she was able to walk without assistance.
"She still falls sometimes, but she says she has learned how to fall gracefully after falling for 29 years.
"Two years ago, she walked into a local health club and said she wanted a private trainer. At the time her legs could not lift 30 pounds. Today she can leg press 200 pounds.
"She became so physically fit that she began running marathons to raise money and awareness for cerebral palsy. She just returned last week from England where she ran in the London Marathon. It took her more than eight-and-a-half hours to complete. They were taking down the course by the time she made it to the finish line. But she made it, nonetheless. With bloody feet and aching joints, she finished the race.
"Members would you help me recognize a modern-day hero Gianna Jessen?"
At this point the chamber exploded into applause which lasted for 15-to-20 seconds. Gianna had touched their souls.
Ironically, Alice Madden, the majority leader and sponsor of the Planned Parenthood resolution, walked over to Gianna and congratulated her.
As the applause began to die down, I raised my hand to be recognized one more time.
"Mr. Speaker, members, if you would allow me just a few more moments I would appreciate your time.
"My name is Ted Harvey, not Paul Harvey, but, please, let me tell you the rest of the story.
"My name is Ted Harvey, not Paul Harvey, but, please, let me tell you the rest of the story."
"The cause of Gianna's cerebral palsy is not because of some biological freak of nature, but rather the choice of her mother.
"You see when her biological mother was 17-years-old and 7-and-a-half months pregnant, she went to a Planned Parenthood clinic to seek a late-term abortion. The abortionist performed a saline abortion on this 17-year-old girl. This procedure requires the injection of a high concentration of saline into the mother's womb, which the fetus is then bathed in and swallows, which results in the fetus being burned to death, inside and out. Within 24 hours the results are normally an induced, still-born abortion.
"As Gianna can testify, the procedure is not always 100 percent effective. Gianna is an aborted late-term fetus who was born alive. The high concentration of saline in the womb for 24 hours resulted in a lack of oxygen to her brain and is the cause of her cerebral palsy.
"Members, today, we are going to recognize the 90th anniversary of Rocky Mountain Planned Parenthood "
BANG! The gavel came down.
Just as I was finishing the last sentence of my speech the climax of the morning the speaker of the House gaveled me down and said, "Representative Harvey, I will allow you to continue your introduction, but not for the purposes of debating a measure now pending before the House."
At which point I said,
"Mr. Speaker, I understand. I just wanted to put a face to what we are celebrating today."
Deafening silence.
I then walked back to my chair shaking like a leaf. The Democrats wouldn't look at me. They were fuming. It was beautiful. I have been in the Legislature for five tough years, and this made it all worthwhile.
The House majority leader wouldn't talk to me the rest of the day.
Was it because I introduced an abortion survivor, or was it because we touched her soul? She could congratulate an inspirational cerebral palsy victim and advocate, but was outraged when she discovered that the person she congratulated was also an abortion survivor.
The headline in The Denver Post the next day read "Abortion Jab Earns Rebuke." The majority leader is quoted as saying, "I think it was amazingly rude to use a human being as an example of his personal politics."
Yes, Representative Madden, Gianna Jessen is a human being. She was when she was in her mother's womb, and she was when she sang the national anthem on the floor of the Colorado House of Representatives.
The paper went on to quote Gianna, stating she was glad I told her story.
"We need to discuss the humanity of it. I'm glad to be able to speak up for children in the womb," she said. "If abortion is about women's rights, where were my rights?"
All I can say is, "Glory to God!" He orchestrated it all, every minute of it, and I was so honored to have been chosen to play a part. May we all continue to be filled with and to fight for the passion of our Lord Jesus Christ!

**I remind people of the post-Roe generation that abortion has been the Black Death of their generation.**
Excellent point. Only difference is that it will have a great impact on those who provided or assisted with abortions at the Last Judgment!
That brings tears to my eyes and a lump to my throat!
You're welcome!
awesome story, thanks for posting, will bookmark
Oops, I agree!
Hate those typos.
**Christians at times have had to be bold to get a chance to even be heard. **
Absolutely! And we may soon see Christians persecuted like they currently are in China.
My point still stands that if Harvey had told the legislature that Gianna would be speaking about abortion (being an abortion survivor and all), the legislature would have flat-out denied him the opportunity.
And you have to admit, his anti-abortion viewpoint wouldn't have been enforced as well without the aid of Gianna, a survivor of abortion.
Wow, awesome story!
I then walked back to my chair shaking like a leaf. The Democrats wouldn't look at me. They were fuming. It was beautiful. I have been in the Legislature for five tough years, and this made it all worthwhile..
The House majority leader wouldn't talk to me the rest of the day.
Granted, but you left out that "Ironically, Alice Madden, the majority leader and sponsor of the Planned Parenthood resolution, walked over to Gianna and congratulated her."
Looks like the majority leader got over her mad long enough to congratulate this young woman.
And.. it looks like the only ones that got mad were the Democrats. See anywhere where he says the Republicans were fuming mad?
Personally, I could care less if the Democrats got angry. They are a party that supports killing the innocent, taxing you death (I live in a state that is run by Dems and my taxes are eating me alive)and homosexual supporters. It's about time somebody held up a mirror to them to show them what they support is an aberrant crime. They are the real criminals, IMO. They aid and abet the killing of millions of innocent life every year. I bet they did get mad. The truth hurts.
Although we aren't to the level that the Chinese Christians face, we are certainly under the gun in this country. God has been taken out of our public schools, the Ten Commandments are being torn down and taken away from public squares. Every Christmas, Christian symbolism is being attacked and taken away from the public arena. Many television programs mock Jesus Christ and Christians. If you speak your personal convictions you may face losing your job like the Catholic the other day that spoke out against homosexuality in Maryland.
It's getting kind of scary here in America lately.
You evidently admire reason and deliberation, despite your breath. So please do it slowly and carefully for me. What was the trick, what was dirty about it?
And as you answer, I guess I'd like to see the consideration that the liberals, when they gain a significant strength in a deliberative assembly, tend to work the parliamentary rules as strongly as they can, with no regard to equity, to make their point, and to stifle the opposition. And when the rules don't work for them, when wondering what the meaning is "is" is begins to fail, they'll cheat in a heartbeat. And lives are at stake here.
In the face of such tactics, should a Christian say that his principles prevent him from protecting the innocent and helpless and consequently he will let the liberals dominate the conversation? Did Jesus, Amos, or Jeremiah take that approach? Did St. Peter when he preached in opposition to the plain decree of the Sanhedrin? Did Luther, or Wycliffe?
Clearly I don't think so, and I don't think getting rolled by liberals is always a moral duty.
For those who allow themselves to be instruments in God's hands: thank you for your courage and strength which comes from a desire to listen and obey Him, our Creator.
What lie?
Anyway, the story goes that he was hearing a young woman's confession, and after she finished, he told her gently that she had not confessed *everything*. She hesitated, but then admitted that she had had an abortion.
After he said the words of absolution, she asked him if he knew what would have become of her unborn baby. "My child," he said, "Your son would have become the pope."
Very uplifting story about an admirable young lady and a courageous politician.
This story is so awesome. This guy had alot of courage. Good for him and Gianna.
He asked to speak to address a certain topic knowing in his heart that he intended to do something else.
Keep on pushing, Ted! Bravo! Bravissimo!
You have the sequence of events out of order. The congrats were for overcoming the CP before Harvey's true agenda became known.
"At what age can a human live outside the womb without help from an older human?"
These days, it seems to be around 30 or later. And of course, nobody could survive without the help of others all through life.
Oops! You are correct. I had read the article earlier in the day and should have reread the whole thing again. I remembered from reading it earlier that she had congratulated the young lady and keyed in on the wrong sequence of events in my comments. I apologize.
Still, the only ones that were upset were the Democrats. I didn't see that the Republicans raised a stink about it.
May I ask why you are so upset over this? Do you think the Holy Apostles cared one whit if they caused an agitation? Do you think Jesus cared that he stirred up the scribes and Pharisees?
If Harvey's "one moment of agitation" causes a person to not get an abortion or changes the mind of one person who is pro-abortion, then yes, I would say it was worth it.
If I or anyone else tries to redefine it at this late date is just as valid (and silly) as saying bluegill are not fish because they swim in fresh water and I want fish to only refer to salt water vertebrates. My attempt to narrowly redefine the word fish in the face of centuries of use would be ludicrous.
That's not what I was defining. I didn't say "live without help from an older human." I said "live." Period.
So I'm not going to argue a point I wasn't making.
Of course there are whacko baby killers. I never said there weren't.
I'm not going to debate you about my own personal definition. My, Own, Personal... definition.
I'm not going to answer your first question because it's not relevant to what I wrote.
And to your statement: It doesn't make it NOT so either.
You said it yourself, it's a human life that is formING, not formED.
And I didn't say it wasn't HUMAN. I said it couldn't survive outside the body.
(I really really really wish that both extremes on this issue, both the far RIGHT pro-Life and the far LEFT pro-Choice would be able to read and comprehend what people actually type/say, without extrapolating things that are not typed/said/intended. At least the Gentleman in post #54 was able to ask questions and do so in a way that actually allows me to answer and continue the dialogue... because only through dialogue can we understand each other.)
Again, I wish people could read what I wrote, not what you wish I had written. I did not write anything about the definition of Humanity or Human. So I won't debate anything about your entire first paragraph, because you are putting words in my mouth that I did not say.
And since the rest of your post was based on your first paragraph, I have no response to you. If you care to comment on what I actually DID say, then I will respond to that.
As I thought I made perfectly clear, by my use of quotations around the words, I was using a specific definition for that word, MY PERSONAL definition.
It's not relevant what the root of the word is. I could have just as easily used "$t#K*T" in my sentence, because I provided the definition for the word I had framed in quotation marks.
And I was not trying to redefine the word. Did I say that I was? Clearly not. So again, I wish people on this topic could read, hear, understand, and reply to, what is ACTUALLY SAID, not what they wish the person had said or hoped they might have intended to say, just to fan the flames of this debate even further. I do not understand why people can't simply have dialogue on this topic.
Well... that gets into a completely different, and HUGE, topic... of whether or not we should be intervening in such drastic ways for (babies) that weren't meant to survive in the first place.
I mean, the primary reason cited by pro-Life people is religious/God. So one could ask, "If God didn't want that baby to survive, who are we to go to such drastic means to keep it alive."
Then you can also argue that God gave us the technology to be able to do so...
And of course that is a HUGE HUGE topic, arguing whether ANY medical intervention, of any kind, should ever be done, on any human, at any time. And whether or not modern medical miracles and the amazing breakthroughs in medical technology are all part of God's plan, and He wouldn't have given us that technology if He didn't want us to use to save every single life, etc.
So as I said, it's a huge can of worms to start talking about whether or not we should even be going to the extreme measures necessary to keep a 20-week baby alive outside the womb.
But of course all of that is completely off topic for this thread, and for my original post. :-)
I don't think my definition would change. The definition would be the same, but the age at which a baby can survive outside the womb is, and probably will continue to change. The point is not whether that "fetus" could survive if it were born in the year 2435, but whether or not it could live outside the womb TODAY. So the definition will stay the same forever, but the science/skills will change.
But at that point, my definition of "human" might come into play!
I'm thinking of Sci-Fi-Future movies, where all the "humans" are born from test tubes, and there are no more interpersonal relationships, and everything is done by genetic engineering: We need more factory workers, so we "breed" "beings" who can stand the monotony of working on an assembly line all day, etc.
At this point in time, our super-human efforts to save a premature baby (20-weeks gestation), result in a relatively normal human being. But I can't forsee the future, and I don't know (a) how long it will take to develop the skill/technology to keep an 8-week-gestation "baby" alive, and (b) whether the resultant "product" of that effort will be "fairly normal" or not.
And a person can't debate with someone who won't debate on issues.
Oh I don't disagree with that. But as I said, it's a big can of worms. (Who pays for all the effort to keep that one baby alive, how many others die because resources are spent keeping that one alive that could have been spread out to others, etc., etc.) I'm not saying we shouldn't do it, I'm just saying it's a big topic.
And I don't think the people were mad at either of the two things you mentioned. I think they were mad at the false pretext under which she was introduced - Cerebral Palsy - when the true motive was the Planned Parenthood angle. If I were in that audience, I could feel both joy at having heard her sing, and joy at hearing her story of accomplishments and survival, AND anger at the person for "duping" the audience with the false introduction. I just don't see why there had to be any "duping" at all. Why the false pretext? Why not just bring the woman in and say, by the way, here's the other side of the Planned Parenthood story. So I think that's where the anger was, and that's why I agreed with the first person who posted that comment. (False pretext isn't exactly "Christian-like.")
Ted Harvey needs support. He is running again. How many officials have a backbone to stand up for what is right; in spite of what it can do to their political career.
Let's support him!
A baby begins its life at conception.
What is there to debate?
Or are you one of those who likes to debate something that isn't even contested? Based on the oozing animosity in your post, I suspect you are.
Wow, I'm late to the party. That's AWESOME! Great post- thank you!

Gluten-free diets can be challenging and full of sacrifice, but our gluten free candy selection will make you feel like a kid in a candy store. You'll find so many sweet treats to choose from on our gluten free candy list that the hardest part will be deciding which to choose.
Please note that manufacturers are not required to inform us of ingredient or manufacturing changes and, if in doubt about any of the gluten free candy listed, we strongly encourage you to contact the manufacturer. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of this list and cannot be held liable for unintentional miscommunication.
We'd like to thank The National Foundation for Celiac Awareness for providing in part the information that helped us assemble this selection for you. Check their list for a wider array of candies that contain no gluten ingredients but are packaged in facilities that also process wheat products, like Trolli Gummi Bears, Peppermint Patties, and Brach's Candy Corn. We didn't list those products here, but if you are only moderatly gluten-sensitive, you'll find even more goodies to add to your shopping cart.

The "It" legging of the winter is here, so start the wheels turning on all the ways you're going to rock this beauty. J Brand's 801 In Snow Leopard legging is a mid-rise, cotton/spandex legging with some serious feline appeal. The snow leopard color scheme will look super slick when it's snowing outside and you're prancing along the sidewalk in winter boots and giant furry hat. Since the print is playful, you can pull these off for a hot cocoa date with your girlfriends, and right out to the club (just throw on some patent leather wedges). Versatility, we adore. We dare say they even make a tempting option for NYE party attire!
We're cooking up a few fun ways to style these babies, but in the mean time, get yourself a pair at J Brand for $209!

Unexpectedly Awful
"I ordered these in rust, and they look nothing like the photo. The color is an awful dirty pink. Tops are floppy and sloppy. A quick return!"
By: Cartan
Location: Brooklyn, NY

Perfect walk around boot!
"I was shopping for the "perfect" fall boot to wear with jeans that had a good neutral color, not a huge heel, and was easy to slip on and off. I walked into DSW and saw these, tried them on for fun, and ended up buying them immediately! They are the most comfortable boot I have ever bought. If any of you have ever worn Dansko's, I compare them to that comfort. No need to break them in, they slip right on, and make you instantly feel put together!!! I do tons of walking and am so happy to finally have an awesome pair of boots I can slip on with anything."

Rated 5 out of 5�by Bebe7 Beautiful!!! Beautiful color, fits perfect. I'm usually a size 6 but went with a 8. I also bought the matching shorts in a size 10 for a bit of a loose fit, absolutely perfect, love love love it. Let me also say I've been a Bebe fan for many years and I'm very please with their design, fabrics and styles they've been using for the past 3 + years. May 20, 2013

Many locals have a team of members who attend each BOE meeting and reports the business conducted there back to the local leadership and general membership.
We heard a creative idea recently that sparked the idea for this thread. We'll post the idea here and continue to be on the lookout for other things that your local can do to
-- encourage members to attend the meetings.
-- promote association activities (i.e. PRIDE) at BOE meetings.
-- etc.

The Warrior Ritual V3 Comp Goalie Stick offers some impressive technology for the price. The Ritual V3 weighs slightly more then the Warrior Wave yet offers many of the same features.

Warriors Big Bang reinforced shell provides added durability for the high wear areas in the handle, paddle and blade.

Comments: ok, this stick balances all the elements I look for in a stick, and all for under 100 bucks. A lighter stick usually lacks durability, heavier stick causes fatigue, this stick is light
enough and durable enough with great feel and response. The vibrex really does help dampen shots. This is my new favorite stick and without breaking the bank!
