Korean War Naval Pilots Spotlighted In New Book
By The Bunny
The aviation exploits of pilots in World War II and Vietnam have been well documented and glorified in books, documentaries and movies. But the daring missions performed by pilots in the Korean War have been largely overshadowed by the ground pounders who toiled in the brutal peninsula of South Korea for the three years of the war.
This war was never declared – it was simply deemed a U.N. police action," a deadly conflict that claimed more than one million military casualties and three million civilian casualties. U.S. military deaths totaled 170,000, a staggering amount when you compare it to the Vietnam conflict and today's dual wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. And yet, far fewer books and films have been created about it. At best, the war created a stalemate between the South Koreans and the communist North Koreans. Continued provocative behavior by the despotic North Korean regime only antagonizes this stalemate and reminds the rest of the world that a resolution of the 38th parallel was never achieved.
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the start of this deadly war and author David Sears has written a book, Such Men as These, to shine a spotlight on the brave naval aviators who were sent on aerial missions over the icy waters and the unforgiving mountainous terrain of Korea. In addition to detailing the heroic actions of these pilots – many of whom had also distinguished themselves in aerial combat in World War II a little more than five years prior, Sears makes a point of recognizing the social progress that had been made in these five short years. Featured in this book are the groundbreaking careers of Jess LeRoy Brown, the first African-American naval pilot, and Joe Akagi, the first Japanese-American naval pilot. Both of these men would never have been given the opportunity to fly as Navy pilots for their country in World War II.
Such Men As These was inspired by James Michener's historic novel The Bridges at Toko-Ri, a bestselling book about these men (which also inspired an Academy Award-winning Hollywood film of the same name). It was based on his real-life research on assignment for Readers' Digest. He was "embedded" aboard an aircraft carrier in the region during the war. Sears obtained Michener's notes from the Library of Congress and was able to ascertain on whom Michener based his fictional characters. He tracked them down and interviewed 20 of them for this book.
The Bridges at Toko-Ri was written just after Michener was asked to author a promotional article for Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea in Life magazine. (At the time, Michener was a more well-known author than Hemingway.) Sears alleges that Michener was significantly influenced by the themes of this book while writing The Bridges at Toko-Ri. Indeed, he identifies compelling similarities between the two books, highlighting the fact that the protagonists in both books were strong individuals facing seemingly "implacable enemies and the unforgiving elements to achieve personal (although virtually anonymous) vindication." They were, in Michener's and Sears' minds, the epitome of manhood.
Sears, a Navy Vietnam veteran, is the author of many books about the military. He says that he enjoys writing about ordinary Americans and their contributions to historic events. Such Men as These is an important and necessary complement to the library of works about the Korean War. It is the actions of these men that Michener and Sears chronicle in these two works detailing a rarely told aspect of a rarely told war.

By JEFFREY O. DURRANTProfessor of Geography, BYU
I recently returned from a short visit to Central America�Guatemala and Honduras. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
This globe is full of places to see, and my list of desired destinations seems to grow bigger every time I travel. But despite my constant plans for travel, I always end up coming back to the western U.S. With all the wonderful places in the world, I often ask myself why don't I live somewhere else?
There are some obvious reasons involving family and work that keep me returning. For instance on this most recent trip I would have liked to continue on to Ecuador and Costa Rica with my wife, but instead I hopped on a plane in Guatemala City in order to pick my three sons up from helpful relatives.
But my sons don't always draw me back; last year they were with me traveling by train in Europe for two weeks before living in Tanzania for three months. But at the end of the summer I had to return to work.
Now I could get a new job. The boys have shown they easily adjust to new places. So why not move to England where I have more friends than in my own neighborhood? For that matter I may have more friends in Chad, Africa. What about Budapest where the city parks seem designed for children? Or Korea, Indonesia, France, or any of the numerous other places I have enjoyed around the globe?
I don't have the entire answer as to why I live where I do, but I have realized that a large part of it is because here in the western U.S. we have an abundance of wide-open public land. And increasingly this is a rare gift on our planet.
I can get away for a hike in hundreds of places; there are trails, washes, slot canyons�whatever I want I have numerous choices.
While living in England I went for several car rides into the Derbyshire Hills, where great numbers of people come to enjoy the spectacular scenery and spend a few days hiking amongst and within private property. The English have a great tradition that grants public access even to the rolling pasturelands divided by hedges and stone walls. But if you prefer to leave the world behind, it is difficult to do it in England.
Other places have what I enjoy as well. New Zealand is a river runner's dream, and my memories of going off a 20 foot waterfall in a raft or kayaking on the south island make me wonder if I wouldn't mind spending more time there. I also remember fondly hiking in the forest reserve on Kilimanjaro, throwing a boomerang with a couple of French guys along the mostly dry Logone River bed in Southern Chad. I've enjoyed hiking deep into the forests of central Borneo, and to the top of Snowdon in northern Wales.
And for shear splendor of scenery it's tough to beat the valleys and peaks of Rwanda, a train ride through Austria, or witnessing the fiery eruption of Mount Fuego from your hotel room balcony in Antigua. And what about the drive to Hana on Maui's windward coast? And if you want to see wildlife and can't make it to the Serengeti, you should head for Kangaroo Island off the southern coast of Australia. And did I mention the spectacular scene of Bujagali falls near the source of the White Nile?
My point here is that the world is full of wonderful places, and only a very small fraction of them are in the western U.S. In fact if I were forced to make a top 10 list of places that have awed me the most I don't know if anything nearby would be included.
But here we have something unique�thousands of square miles of public land. And I'm not thinking of the national parks, although these are wonderful and becoming increasingly common worldwide. Instead I'm thinking of the much vaster areas managed by the BLM and the forest service. We're surrounded by such areas, and it would take a lifetime to experience them all. Nobody "owns" them, and you won't find villages and fields everywhere you go.
Perhaps the reason why there is so much contentious debate over public lands is because there are a lot of us out there who realize what we have, despite differing perceptions and ideologies. I don't get too concerned about these disparate views since I am convinced that, at their core, most people understand our rare gift and want to protect it.
Meanwhile I am going to Alaska for a couple of weeks. And since this is the one place with even more public land�I may not return.

Customers receive an e-mail when their orders are ready at stores.
Amy Dusto
Office Depot Inc. announced today it has begun offering free, in-store pickup for online goods in an hour or less. The option is available for any products labeled "In Store Pickup Available" on OfficeDepot.com; available items vary by store.
"The holiday season is in full swing, and this is another way to enhance the shopping experience for Office Depot customers regardless of whether they choose to do so in-store or online," says Mike Kirschner, senior vice president of e-commerce at Office Depot.
Customers who select "pick-up" in the checkout process then indicate their choice of a store. When the item is ready for retrieval, they receive an e-mail that reads, "Good News! Your order is ready for pickup," with instructions for how to claim the purchase, Office Depot says. The pickup area for online orders in stores is in the Copy & Print Depot, the retailer says.
Customers need to bring their order confirmation, the credit card they used to pay and a valid I.D. If they do not pick up their orders within 48 hours, the goods are returned to inventory and their accounts are credited, Office Depot says. If an online order is made within two hours of the store's closing time, the items will be available within one hour of opening the next day, the retailer says.
Several other retailers that operate bricks-and-mortar stores recently have introduced or enhanced in-store pickup options at online checkout, including Toys 'R' Us Inc., hhgregg Appliances Inc., Office Max Inc. and The Home Depot. Office Depot is upping the ante with its one-hour pickup promise, as rival Staples promises pickup within two hours of ordering and OfficeMax saying orders generally will be available the same day, if the product is in stock at the selected store.
Meanwhile, two-day shipping services provider ShopRunner announced last month it will now allow online shoppers to pick up online orders from 60 of its retailer clients at 100 stores in the Philadelphia area that are operated Toys 'R' Us, Olly Shoes or 7-Eleven. And Staples Inc. has joined the ranks of retailers letting Amazon.com Inc. use some of its stores to test the Amazon Lockers program for in-store pickup of purchases from Amazon.com.
Office Depot is No. 6 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide; Toys 'R' Us, No. 29; hhgregg, No. 442; Office Max, No. 12; Home Depot, No. 42; Staples, No. 2 and Amazon, No. 1.

NASHVILLE -- Gender and age as well as frequency and timing of injections have been shown to be key risk factors for people developing fungal meningitis after they were treated with potentially moldy medicine, state health officials said in a paper published Tuesday.
Those at greatest risk included women at least 60 years old, those who received multiple epidural injections and those treated with vials of medicine more than 50 days old from one lot of recalled steroids, Tennessee health officials said.
Those and other details about the outbreak are contained in an article published on the New England Journal of Medicine's website. It was based on an analysis of 817 patients who received the injections, mostly for back pain, at Saint Thomas Outpatient Neurosurgery Center between July 1 and Sept. 20.
During that period, the clinic administered 1,663 vials of methylprednisolone acetate produced by New England Compounding Center of Framingham, Mass. Authorities believe the steroid was contaminated with different types of fungi that have sickened more than 400.
Those who had four injections were three times more likely to get sick than those who had one, the team of Tennessee state health officials reported. Women were twice as likely to get sick, as were those older than 60, they said. And those who received medicine that was more than 50 days old also were at higher risk.
NECC's methylprednisolone acetate was preservative-free, and "the level of contamination in the vials may have increased over time," the report noted.
The compounding pharmacy has closed and recalled all of its products.
FDA files warning
The report came a day after federal officials warned a Franklin, Tenn.-based company about claims that its light therapy product cures or treats various health problems, including meningitis.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration sent a warning letter Monday to The Avalon Effect Inc., telling the company to stop marketing an unapproved medical device called the Quantum Series Personal Wellness Pack.
The letter contends the company's website claims the product can cure and/or treat symptoms of fungal meningitis, concussions and Lyme disease, among other conditions. That violates federal law because Avalon does not have approval to market the device or an exemption to investigate it for safety and effectiveness, the FDA said.
The device, the Quantum Series Personal Wellness Pack, also is misbranded because the company did not notify the FDA of plans to introduce it to the marketplace, the letter said.
It's the second time the FDA said it has warned Avalon, which has its offices on Mallory Lane in Cool Springs. The agency notified the company of possible marketing violations in August. Avalon said then that it did not intend for any of its products to be used to treat, cure, mitigate, prevent or diagnose any medical condition.
But the FDA said a follow-up review of the company's website and related links showed Avalon was still making those claims, prompting the second warning.
Avalon founder Tinka Smith and Chief Executive Officer Michael Haarlander disputed that in a statement issued Tuesday.
"We simply have no intention to market a device in that manner," they said. "We are working with the FDA with full cooperation to clarify this matter. The FDA is essential to our success. We are committed to the long-term health of our company, our product and our clients."

A 66th minute penalty from Rhys Patchell handed Cardiff Blues a 17-16 victory over Edinburgh at Murrayfield on Friday.
A 66th minute penalty from Rhys Patchell handed Cardiff Blues a 17-16 victory over Edinburgh at Murrayfield on Friday.
The result hung in the balance right to the final whistle as the hosts sought to overturn a single-point deficit, but ultimately they were unable to convert pressure into points and repeat the win they had posted in the reverse fixture earlier in the campaign.
The visitors owed their victory to an impressive man-of-the-match performance from Patchell, who created a try for Michael Paterson and was on the mark with four penalties.
The hosts bagged a try through Willem Nel, converted by Gregor Hunter, who also booted two penalties, while his replacement Harry Leonard slotted one.
Patchell struck the opening points of the match after five minutes when he stroked over a close-range penalty following an offence at a scrum. And he doubled Cardiff's lead with a second strike from a similar distance in 13 minutes.
Edinburgh created the best try-scoring opportunity of the first quarter but a wayward pass by Dave Denton missed out his supporting colleagues and the ball trundled into touch.
Hunter, who had missed with two earlier efforts from long distance, found the target at the third time of asking to trim the deficit, but Patchell responded immediately in kind to restore a six-point gap. And the kicking battle continued with Hunter again wide of the mark before landing his next effort.
Patchell showed that there is more to his game than a trusty boot when he evaded two Edinburgh defenders as he drifted into the home 22 then offloaded to Paterson who plunged over at the corner for an unconverted try that sent the Welsh side in at the break with a 14-6 advantage.
The home team made a lively start to the second period and deservedly grabbed a try in the 49th minute when Dougie Fife carried the ball into contact where Nel was on hand to pick up and force his way over. Hunter converted before making way for Leonard whose first task was to kick the penalty that edged Edinburgh into the lead for the first time.
Cardiff's response was a slick handling move that yielded a penalty which Patchell booted to move the visitors in front once more.
Edinburgh mounted a series of attacks but a string of errors in sight of the line proved expensive and the fatal blow came when Cardiff stole a lineout on the edge of their own 22 in what proved to be the final play of the game.

Try: Nel

|In response to Re: how a prv works.
You just have to blow through it with 90 psi or more. The downstream pressure is what controls the operation of the valve. If it malfunctions, then it can fail to regulate the static pressure, even though the dynamic pressure is still regulated.
: I am an irrigation contractor. One mystery that has baffled me for a few days is pertaining to pressure regulators. The question came to me when I held a standard 25-75 prv and for some reason blew through it, my breath came out the other end. The question is how then can a prv regulate static pressure if I can blow through it? Dynamic pressure I know it can regulate, but I can adjust the static pressure (once installed) on my closed main line? How can that be????

Ranch View Middle School students Konstantin Zaremski and Neil Trotter's favorite overnight pastime isn't watching horror movies, eating junk food or even playing video games. The 13-year-olds stay up into the wee hours writing computer code.
It is their preferred form of recreation, their academic passion and almost undoubtedly the key to their futures.
"This is my sport," said the 13-year-old Zaremski, indicating a MacBook Pro laptop cradled in his lap.
Inspired by Rock Canyon High School students who last spring won a "Best in State" award in the national Verizon Innovative App Challenge, Zaremski shared with RVMS teacher and CODE Club leader Tiffiny Vaughn his idea for an app. Zaremski and five other CODE Club students worked together to create the app for their Highlands Ranch middle school.
Still in development, the app eventually will function as a student organizer, eliminating paperwork, expediting the exchange of homework between student and teacher, providing a calendar, planner and school directory, among other functions.
Someday, the students hope their app will be available districtwide.
Displaying a level of poise uncharacteristic of middle school students, five of the six boys — all wearing bow ties — presented their results to the Douglas County School Board Aug. 6. They received a standing ovation from the board and audience members.
RVMS teacher Vaughn launched the CODE Club in March. It is the only club of its kind in Douglas County. A $15,000 Douglas County School District innovation grant allowed Vaughn to purchase 10 MacBook Pro computers and 10 iPads, and open the doors to the before- and after-school group.
As a math teacher, Vaughn said she initially was uncertain about leading the club.
"All of these kids started coming, and I realized I didn't have to be an expert," she said. "It was unbelievable how fast this happened."
The club quickly grew to its current 30 members.
Vaughn had tapped into a passion, one whose importance she believes is overlooked by many elementary-level educators. Computer programming is not taught at the elementary or middle school level, something she thinks needs to change. And change quickly.
"This is not part of the core curriculum; it should be," said Vaughn. "This generation of children is wired to do this. The more we can get teachers to embrace allowing children to go to these sites, create projects to display their learning … We're going to empower these kids with the tools to pursue their passions. It's going to help our nation's economy."
The U.S. Department of Labor projects that between 2008 and 2018, 1.4 million computing jobs will open in the U.S., with only about 400,000 qualified graduates available to fill them. Legislation introduced in June by Colorado Congressman Jared Polis could change the latter figure. The Computer Science Education Act would redefine computer science as a core academic subject, allowing the use of federal funds for K-12 computer science instruction.
"If we don't start addressing this issue, our children are not going to be ready for the 21st-century job market," Vaughn said.
RVMS app developers Zaremski, Trotter, Daniel Petito, Adam Emmelkamp, Sean Rhomberg and Andrew Holmes may be exceptions. But as focused as the 13-year-olds already are, even they can't predict where their talents might take them.
"The jobs we could have in the future might not even be created yet," Rhomberg said.

Three Concepts of Dignity in Constitutional Law
Neomi Rao
George Mason University - Antonin Scalia Law School, Faculty
May 11, 2011
Notre Dame Law Review, Vol. 86, No. 1, pp. 183-271, 2011
George Mason Law & Economics Research Paper No. 11-20
The U.S. Supreme Court and constitutional courts around the world regularly use the term human dignity when deciding cases about freedom of speech, reproductive rights, racial equality, gay marriage, and bioethics. Judges and scholars treat dignity as an important legal value, but they usually do not explain what it means and often imply that it has one obvious core meaning. A close review of constitutional decisions, however, demonstrates that courts do not have a singular conception of dignity, but rather different conceptions based on how they balance individual rights with the demands of social policy and community values. Using the insights of political theory and philosophy, this Article identifies three concepts of dignity used by constitutional courts and demonstrates how these concepts are fundamentally different in ways that matter for constitutional law. In contentious cases, the concepts of dignity will often conflict. If constitutional courts continue to rely on human dignity, judges must choose between different understandings of dignity. This Article provides the groundwork for making these choices and defending a concept of dignity consistent with American constitutional traditions.

Ode to Subduing a Bison
They may look sweet and cuddly
And it's terribly tempting, my son
But believe me when I tell you
One does not just hug a bison.
Although they are fashionable
Those horns are not merely decor
And should you attempt a snuggle
You'll end up with a very bad gore.

This just made my day:
"One does not just hug a bison"
It sounds like the title of a fantastically memoir-ish book.

Kiersten your rhyming genius continues to inspire me and so (as part of my never-ending auditioning to be guest lyricist with the Punktuations) I offer you....
They don't look all that cuddly
Those horns are not for fun
Think clearly and not muddly
Before approaching a bison
They hang around all huddly
In groups of more than one
They'll beguile you all befuddly
It's best to bring a gun.

The experience of having a baby while being a stranger in a strange land inspired Karina Martin to start helping refugees back in Britain. Twenty years later, she is at the vanguard of a movement of faith groups whose support for displaced people is being expanded nationwide. Her approach is simple. When refugee families arrive in her home city of Derby — desperate, isolated, traumatised and already fearful of hostility from local people — she knocks on their door with a "welcome box" of toiletries, sweets, toys and information about the city. In many cases, this gesture is the beginning of a
In a discovery that might not look out of place in the plot of a Dan Brown novel, a scholar has found secret handwritten notes hidden beneath false pages pasted into the oldest printed Bible in England. The inscriptions, which have been concealed in the 1535 edition of the Bible, indicate that historians have been wrong about the extent of Henry VIII's power over his subjects. Annotations written in the margins of the Bible, which is one of only seven copies to survive, suggest that parishioners continued to speak Latin in church even after Henry banned it as part of his campaign against Roma
We came from different planets, Jack and I. My father was a diplomat, his, a jobbing bricklayer. My mother choreographed mimes and let the washing go mouldy in the clothes basket, his baked rice puddings and sent him out for jellied eels — yet we were like one person. Jack was an Anglican minister. I'd met him at a workshop he was running on prayer. He seemed to burn up the atmosphere with his electric vitality, sparking it with laughter and throwing out astonishing possibilities as he talked in terms I had never heard before about a God I didn't recognise. He made it seem possible that this

Another gag chapter without interesting content D; , have fun anyways (;
from the moment they got off the train i was reading the whole chapter like this
so funny
Lmao fundamentals
Enjoy Folks Toriko 180
Pretty interesting chapter Toriko just never stops to make me think "wtf this is cool *_*" (:
I agree with you In your head!!! Its such an awesome series, with so much random and creative characters and everything, just love it! This latest development for them has been great, I feel like Toriko isn't becoming superpowered too fast or anything either, everything is moving at a great pace and not too much emphasis is put on power but on other aspects too, like food respect and delicateness.
Can't wait to read the next chapter, this series is definitely the next Naruto I think hehe, and I love the anime too especially at the end when Tina does the cooking show!!!!
A pie in the sky?
This last chapter was awesome! What a rediculous move to pull lol, and it didn't even hurt him at all! scary..
A pie in the sky?
one scary granny right there...
he only died cause he realised what she did to him o.e
Last picture of toriko is amazing
Toriko looked like some kind of rediculous monster in that pic lol, it was really cool but I hope he slims down a little bit and condenses like Master Chin did. Zebra would do very well to learn food appreciation, could you imagine him with efficiency and a enormous store of calories?!? Can't wait to see Toriko come back out, take out that Golem; then watch Komatsu show off his moves with his new knife against Take, and then Master Chin vs Chiyo and her knife skills...
Im guessing shes going to notice Komatsu and then make a note of it to Bushokukai as she hightails it out of there when Chin and Toriko come back
A pie in the sky?

Skip to comments.New Science Curriculum to Address Climate Change Controversy
Posted on 03/14/2012 2:02:21 PM PDT by Sopater
The groups currently drafting new science standards for American classrooms have decided to include a section addressing the issue of climate change. The Congressionally chartered National Academies, including the National Research Council, plan to include a document drafted last year that says that human activities have at least a partial impact on climate.
Although there's a strong consensus in scientific literature on anthropogenic climate change, in America the issue is a source of significant controversy and debate. Just how strident the debate over climate change had become came as a surprise to one California middle school teacher:
When Treena Joi, a teacher at Corte Madera School in Portola Valley, Calif., last year showed her sixth-grade students the global-warming movie "An Inconvenient Truth"a documentary in which former Vice President Al Gore issues dire warnings about climate changethe drama quickly spread beyond the classroom.
A father filed a formal complaint accusing Ms. Joi of "brainwashing" the students. He demanded that she apologize to her students or be fired, according to the complaint. The local school superintendent settled the matter by requiring parental permission before students viewed the movie in the future and prohibiting teachers from talking about ways to address climate change.
Ms. Joi said that this was the first time she'd been confronted by such extreme parental reaction, even though in the past she taught other subjects generally considered controversial such as evolution and sex education.
While the battle between global warming supporters and skeptics rages on in state houses, court houses, news programs and everywhere in between, it's no wonder that school teachers have felt more than once that they are caught in the middle.
When her daughter's ninth-grade teacher mimicked a gagging motion when discussing climate change during science class in Clifton Park, N.Y, Kimberly Danforth complained to the school science advisor for redress.
The teacher explained he was playing devil's advocate and actually believed in mainstream climate-change theories, but Ms. Danforth, who believes children should be taught about global warming, wasn't persuaded. "He seemed to be thumbing his nose at our values," she said.
David Wojick, who is leading the effort, backed by a Conservative think tank the Heartland Institute, to design a scientific curriculum that challenges the conventional view of global warming, says that schools shouldn't be seeking to teach only one side of the debate, but instead to offer a balanced view that will allow students to reach their own conclusions. Arguments like these are very familiar to Eugenie Scott, the executive director of the National Center for Science Education which has previously opposed efforts to introduce Intelligent Design into science classrooms around the country.
Like evolution, climate change is "settled science," said Scott. "We shouldn't fight the culture wars in the high-school classroom."
(Ms. Joi said that this was the first time shed been confronted by such extreme parental reaction)
Those poor, poor teachers keep complaining that parents just don't get involved in their children's education. However, when parents have a problem with an obvious one-sided propaganda movie being shown to their kids, they start belly-aching about parental "extreme" reactions. Some of the teachers themselves are so brainwashed, and have so little contact with conservatives, that they seem genuinely surprised about the reactions.
Science is never settled.
Climate is as predictable as the economy. How's that working out?
Our highly trained government education professionals are taught to deal with complaints by saying "That's the first time has anyone has complained." The point is to make the parent feel isolated and insecure.
Humans also stopped the rampant prarie fires that used sweep across the midwest all of the time as well as the buffallo migrations that tore up larg swaths of grassland....
As well as putting out a large number of naturally started forest fires too....
But that is seen as a negative by the enviroidiots.
I stopped reading there. I keep hearing about this mythical "scientific consensus," but nobody ever produces a list and headcount the scientists who support anthropogenic climate change.
Meanwhile, I've got 30,000 scientists who signed a public petition rejecting the theory -- and that was back in 2007 BEFORE Climategates I & II, and the collapse of the IPCC's credibility.
If the Global Warming Alarmists in and out of the media are so damned concerned with "facts" as they claim they are, why will they not prove the "fact" that there is a consensus by ponying up some proof of that assertion.
That's dose not belong in Science, but in Literature as Fairy Tales in Fiction.
More apprpriately under:
Propaganda: Socialist: Faux Environmental Frauds
They should only teach it in POLITICAL SCIENCE COURSES, or
courses that deal in POLITICAL FRAUD. If you question most anybody that believes in Climate Change for 5 minutes you will find out they have no clue about any of it other than reading the headlines of the newspapers. After the obama regime is voted out on their rear end we should pursue legal action against any government officials using
fraudulent IPCC data to fund grants and form public policy
Our Values? What about the values that she thumbed her nose at like freedom or capitalism? What a moron.
Thats the first time has anyone has complained.
"The point is to make the parent feel isolated and insecure."
Same exact battle strategy as the queer agenda's use of such terms as "hate", "non-inclusive", and the utterly ridiculous "homophobia".
They're clearly the perverts, but they attempt to turn bedrock normalcy into the outlier.
Leftism 101.
Heartland Institute is working on Education plans also.
It also seems like Ms Joi wasn't keeping up with current affairs and how Gore's scam movie was found to be inaccurate in the liberal UK...
But perhaps accuracy is not in her lesson plan...:^)
"...Climate Change Controversy"
What contraversy? I thought it was settled?
Exactly right. More disgusting than the economic damage being done by global warming hysteria is the damage to science itself.
"Settled science" like Newton's Laws of Motion is never defended with the weak and unscientific argument that it's settled science [Argumentum ad populum - where an idea is claimed to be true solely because many people allegedly believe it to be so].
Newton's Laws were defended with publicly available experimental data and precise measurement accessible to any scientist . . . until Einstein refined them by finding a more broadly applicable and accurate theory.
The settled medical science on gastric freezing for ulcers and on the cause of ulcers was also defended by objective research with published and public data . . . until Barry Marshall and Robin Warren identified Helicobacter pylori as the real cause and eliminated their own profession.
Similarly for hormone replacement therapy and cancer risk, for
Ptolemy and Copernicus, for
whether Pluto is a planet or just Mickey Mouse's dog, for
and the rest of the theories . . . back when science was based on the Scientific Method instead of political pull.
Naturally caused fires are essential to a balanced and healthy ecosystem.
In many cases, the heat from fire causes seeds to germinate, promoting the growth of various plants and fauna.
The lack of naturally occurring fires is primarily why many of the recent fires were so devastating. The undergrowth and dead wood hadn't been cleared out, creating firestorms of epic proportions.
The "enviroidiots", envirowhackos, environazis, etc. won't permit the USFS to conduct controlled burns to clear this stuff out. And when firefighters or residents are killed, hundreds of structures burned to the ground and 100's of millions of dollars spent on putting out fires, they are "strangely silent".
There is quite a large difference between conservationists and environmentalists.
When my daughter entered the junior high school there was one teacher who was known to be a big global warming alarmist. She was known for talking about it every chance she had, in History class no less. Every year she used to show "An Inconvenient Truth". I made it known that If she did that I was going to demand that she also show "The Great Global Warming Hoax" as balance since global warming was a controversial subject. Earth day came and went with no showing of "An Inconvenient Truth" and as far as I know it hasn't been shown since.
Another place they slip in AGW propaganda is in standardized tests. I also went in and complained about that. It's funny because at least in the elementary school the kids aren't taught about it. So, the kids are being tested on things they didn't have in the class but the test only allows one answer to all the questions, pro AGW.
Mind control comes to mind. There are going to be one hell of a lot of pissed off elder kids, once they start to find out there is more to the stories they have been persuaded to believe in.
Climate Coup The Politics (How the regulating class is using bogus claims )
The above thread does not have a very illuminating title ...but believe me it will make your Hair Stand Up....and explains why the Kiddies MUST believe the Leftists Propaganda ...for their Global Scheme to work!!!
Forget evolution, climate science is the most controversial subject in school
And Senator Inhofe has just released a Book:
The Greatest Hoax: How the Global Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future [Hardcover]
See the post below for how I am trying to spread the word about What Is Really Going On!
I noticed you are starting to advertise Jim's book. It would be neat if it became a best seller.
The only thing settled in anthropogenic climate change is that there is no consensus except among those who conspire (out of their desire for job security) to extort grant money from the tax-payers to fund their pet theory. Those who study the actual data are far from arriving at any consensus over AGW . . . err, excuse me ACC (its latest incarnation) . . . only those who believe in the goal driven computer models believe there is any consensus. That is because computer models only tell you what the biases of the modeler are. The data dont support the claims and anyone who spends a modicum of time studying the issue rather than blindly believing what faux scientists like Mann and Jones tell them understands that fact. Science, by definition is never settled. Only religious tenets, based on mythology are settled.The best way to fight these lying proselytizers of the religion of global warming is by confronting them on their own websites.
WELCOME BACK, BOB!!! YOU'RE A REAL GAS!!! (I've missed your gaseous expertise)(grin)
You bet. I saw that about Heartland's efforts which NEED TO BE DONE.
I'll definitely be buying Inhofe's book. He has done such good work on exposing the lies. Even got EPA sientists to admit there was no evidence of global warming.
and I've missed your STINGING COMMENTARY.
I've be a pingin ya till I wore out my ping finger an I had finally resigned to the idea that you musta fell down one of your multitudious gas holes you been diggin, dude!!!
Hey Dave the Grampa, look who just showed up after an elongated hiatius!
Been usin' dat silver tongue convincing folks in the NE how nice it is to be getting piles of money just to sign a few papers, then get piles more when the gas hits the pipeline.
Funny how thw EPA and Chu and Obummer don't get their idiotic way in the real world, YET.
Gotta keep fightin' the battle or they will.
AGW is total junk 'political science".
I personally have no problem with evolution.. I learned about it via studying the experiments of the Monk, Gregory Mendel, when I was in Catholic school 50 years ago.
The Church has no problem with the theory of evolution. They only insist that God is the Creator. That species can change over time is not a shocker - we can plainly see it.
In that school, at that time, we also learned quite a bit about Creation, including daily recitations of the Apostles Creed. I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth...Knowing science, a Creator also make perfect sense. Nothing comes from nothing and there is no infinity. Matter, time and space are all connected -- all one, and have a beginning.... and an end.
I accept both Creation and Evolution and they are in no way incompatible. I see both as true and logical. And so do millions of other faithful.
If you are a 'young earth believer and want to take King James word-for-word, " that's fine. Believe as you wish. It is your freedom to do so.
But please, quit being sucked in by the the leftist game (as you can see in the above article) of comparing the bogus science of Man Made Global Warming with Evolution. They have absolutely nothing to do with each other. Believe what you wish about evolution, but please, stop comparing it to this current 'political science' fraud.
Our Creator could make us in any way He so chose to make us, If it took six days of 6 billion years, I don't really give a damn, and wouldn't presume to tell Him how He should have done it. It's a meaningless thing to argue about. People of Good Faith can be anywhere on that argument, and honestly, most people of faith do not disagree with evolution and it is not an affront to their faith.
But the leftist push to take control with this Global Warming scam is a clear and present danger to all of our freedoms. When you allow it to be mixed up with evolution, you are giving the leftist power mongers more ammunition to paint opponents as ignorant and anti-science!
AGW has nothing to do with evolution. Nothing. Don't make that comparison and don't allow others to make it either.
< / End Rant. > ;~))
Then try to work in that position... (smirk)
Seriesly, nail 'em down with that money for the good of America!!!
Only two questions in reply...
1. Do you think God could have done this Creation we all enjoy over the course of Billions of years via many stages and gradual changes ... or does that Creation have to confirm to a 'short earth' time line that a literal reading of Genesis provides?
2. If He had taken billions of years instead of a few thousand years, would you love Him any less?
And I'll add my warning from before. If you allow the Global Warming Crap to be confused with evolution, you only give more power to the Godless people who push this Global Warming BS.
Believe what you want. But the two topics have zero to do with each other. Don't Compare Them!

Brewers: If and When
by Tim Allen
posted Jun 19 2013 9:40PM
With the season hanging on by a thread, what will Brewers GM Doug Melvin do 'IF' and when he decides to "sell" toward the trade deadline? Let's take a look at what might be on the Brewers menu when other MLB GM's sit down to dine:
Aramis Ramirez
Cross your fingers on the health of the knee. Ramirez could draw some pretty decent returns, as he still has 1 year left on the existing contract. A team that grabs him, would obviously use him for their playoff push, but will have him for 2014. That being said, they might decide to deal him prior to the deadline next season, and if they don't, Ramirez could return a draft choice for them. But he would have to spend the entire season of 2014 with that club. Many options to obtain Ramirez for that team...but what's it worth? It might be a nice return for the crew.
Corey Hart
This situation is a little more confusing, in that his health is a major concern. Would a team pony up much to get him, considering he has not played to date? The crew may have to gamble, offering him a qualifying offer. If he takes it, the Brewers are 'stuck' with him. If he does not, then compensation rules take effect. If he comes back to play a few weeks prior to the deadline, maybe a team will take a chance, but not likely.
Yovani Gallardo
With Yo under contract for next season, and an option for 2015, this could net the biggest return. If Melvin decides to take the next few seasons to 'rebuild', then does Yo NEED to be here? The return on Yo could be dramatic, and filled with more young rebuilding tools for the crew. There are 10 teams on his 'no trade' list to consider as well. This is maybe, the most interesting trade debate.
Henderson/Axfor/K Rod
Again, 'if' Melvin is in re-build mode, then 2 of these 3 must go. Their value is pretty good right now. considering you pulled Henderson off the "scrap heap" as a veteran minor leaguer, Melvin needs to get something for Henderson, and in a strange justification, would be "free return" for him. The volatility of John Axford the past year may hurt his value, but the numbers certainly lately have increased any prospective trade value. A closer often times, is one of the final pieces of a rebuild plan. A $5 million 7th or 8th inning pitcher may not be worth it. Melvin should get something decent for Ax if the move is made. K Rod, on the other hand, is an interesting situation. He is indeed at the tail end of his career, and the crew should simply get what they can get, as soon as they can.
Michael Gonzalez
A veteran lefty specialist WILL warrant some trade value. What team WOULDN'T want him? His numbers look good, and an AA prospect is NOT out of the question. Potentially a 3rd base minor leaguer would be what I would look for.
Tom Gorzelanny:
A reliever that's having a very good year that is under contract for next season. Probably a guy I would keep, and move him next season, but answer the phone on him. Melvin may get an offer he can't refuse.
Yuni B
Take what you can get, anything, any level of the minors. I doubt there is much value, considering his recent numbers, but we can always hope the crew gets something for him.
Rickie Weeks
Money may have to be involved in an attempt to move Weeks. Melvin, if Weeks is in a specific trade conversation, will have to be included. It's not out of the question to move him for decent young talent, but my guess is that the crew would have to pay some of the salary the next year or so. Would be a dramatic move is Melvin pulls the trigger on such a fan favorite.
Martin Maldonado
There is probably going to be some interest from other teams for Martin. However, with him under team control, I don't think he will be moved. He does have value, but he may have more value for the crew being Lucroy's back up. He's the insurance policy if Luc gets hurt. It would surprise me if he is moved.
Nori Aoki
Value here for sure. There is an option for next season, and it's a decent deal, but Logan Schafer is here, and could take over in right if needed. Melvin needs to ask himself if Nori is part of the future, and if the answer is no, then get a nice young prospect for him. I think he is worth that for sure, despite his age.
Juan Francisco
This could be a player that is a package deal. ONLY if there is a young 3rd Baseman involved. Watching the TV show 'Pickers', they like to "bundle" things together. Francisco would be part of a "bundle" move for Melvin. Young at 25, it's not a bad gamble to hang on to him either, just to see if it "clicks" with him. If it does, Melvin got a steal when he acquired him.
*As you can see above, Brewers GM Doug Melvin has options...and A LOT OF THEM! IF, and I said IF he decides to rebuild, he has the value to do it. If that happens, let's all talk about it. Smile Milwaukee, the world Will Smile Back!!
