Massachusetts Democratic Congressman Ed Markey has defeated Republican businessman Gabriel Gomez to replace John Kerry. Markey will be the next US Senator from the Bay State. Markey garnered 55 %, Gomez 45%. Markey, who has served in the House for more than 36 years, stopped at a restaurant in Medford today to thank voters for their support in the election. UMass Amherst Poll director, Brian Schaffner says the election results held few surprises, even with remarkably low voter turnout. Less than 1.2 million people went to the polls, out of 4.3 million eligible voters. Schaffner says according to UMass Poll results from earlier this month, higher turnout may not have made a significant difference.
"When we did our poll in early June, we found that among registered voters, Markey had about the same lead as when we narrowed the poll to just likely voters. So turnout I'm not sure made a big difference, actually," says Schaffner.
Schaffner says a sharply divided US senate may have drawn some Democrats away from voting for Gomez, despite his stance as a moderate Republican. Markey shifts from representing his congressional district to all of Massachusetts. He says it will require an understanding of every aspect of the state's economy. Markey says he expects to be sworn in to the Senate sometime after July 4th.

The 1990s were a decade of rapid private sector expansion and federal government restraint. The 2000s are a decade of government expansion at all levels and private sector retrenchment.
Tad DeHaven
Homebuyer Tax Credit Follies
When the 2008 economic stimulus bill created an $8,000 homebuyer tax credit to prop up the ailing housing market, the outcome was predictable: fraud and economic distortions.
Uncertainty More Than Anecdotal
During a recent CNBC debate on federal spending, I argued that government policies are creating uncertainty in the business community. Businesses are reluctant to invest or hire because they're concerned that the president's big government agenda will mean higher taxes and more onerous regulations.
More Concerns for FAA's NextGen
A report from the Department of Transportation's inspector general expresses more concerns about the Federal Aviation Administration's ability to implement its Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). NextGen is a $40 billion overhaul of the nation's air traffic control system that would replace old-fashioned radar technology with modern satellite-based GPS navigation.
Ironing Boards and Trade Policy
USDA Local Subsidies
On May 27th the USDA awarded $168 million in stimulus money to 145 local infrastructure projects across the country. A third of the money is going to the Mohegan Indian tribe in Connecticut for a new community center. The $54 million loan has attracted national scrutiny because the tribe operates one of the biggest casinos in the country, which grossed $1.3 billion in 2009.
FHA "Reform" Bill
The House recently passed legislation to reform the Federal Housing Administration, which is facing a potential taxpayer bailout thanks to all the bad mortgages that it has backed. When the housing bubble burst, the FHA rushed in to prop up the market and now insures approximately 30 percent of new mortgages. In 2006, the figure was just 3 percent.
Cisneros Rewriting HUD History
In a recent speech to real estate interests, former Clinton HUD secretary Henry Cisneros preposterously claimed that the recent housing meltdown "occurred not out of a governmental push, but out of a hijacking of the homeownership process by some unscrupulous interests."
The Dept. of Labor's Swarms
The Declaration of Independence cites as an example of King George's tyranny: "He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance." To prevent a similar situation in the new United States of America, the Founders assigned the federal government limited powers.
Food Subsidies Are No Free Lunch
We are being bombarded with sensationalist stories in the press about state and local governments having to "slash" programs because of a lack of revenues. These stories typically revolve around the question of whether the federal government will continue supplementing "essential services" provided by state and local government.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff writer
As times get harder and the economy takes more jobs and security from families, many are trying to learn to live a more self sufficient lifestyle. Learning to cut expenses, and producing more of your own food, and use and rotation of your food storage is very important. Concerned citizens are coming together at the Courthouse in Castle Dale to learn and share their ideas.
At the recent meeting of this group, Luwanna Snow talked about her preparations and the things she has learned over the years. Snow urged the group to be spiritually prepared before beginning the process of becoming physically prepared for anything that may happen.
In the packet of information handed out by Snow, the first page listed the 20 things I wouldn't want to be without. They are: a car survival kit containing warm clothing, plastic sheeting, water purifier, survival candy, survival bread, toilet paper, a shovel, a pocketknife, granola and dried fruit.
Number two on the list is a water purifier, then a first aid kit, survival bread (which will keep forever), Yerba Mate (which is a survival herb found in South America) Chia seeds and seaweed, Pulse which is a variety of seeds, grains, legumes for sprouting, salt, a sanitation kit, a wash kit, dehydrated foods, honey, wheat, a wonder box which is a cooker that uses very little heat, eight hours of heat in a can (ghee), personal protection, toiletries, money, shelter, a medicinal kit, and cheese that will store for many years.
The number one factor in successfully surviving a disaster is having access to pure water. Water purifiers and a water storage container are absolutely essential. There are water purifiers available which will effectively purify captured or stored water.
First aid kits should contain sterilized wraps, scissors, water, blanket, bandages, cayenne pepper, allergy medications, aspirin, rehydration kits and stretchable wraps.
Survival bread is essential in the car kit and home storage supplies. It is made of two cups oats, two and a half cups powdered milk, one cup sugar, three tablespoons honey, one package orange or lemon Jello and three tablespoons of water. Combine all wet ingredients and bring to a boil, add dry ingredients and mix well. Add more water one teaspoon at a time. Shape dough into a brick sized loaf and place on a cookie sheet, bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Cool and wrap in aluminum foil. This bread will supply the necessary nutrients for one adult for one day.
Yerba Mate is considered to contain practically all of the nutrients to sustain life. The Guaranie Indians in remote South America knew this long before the Spanish settlers began to colonize the area. The Spanish learned to dry it, crush it, prepare it into drinks and supplements. Yerba Mate can be purchased in all Spanish stores or on the internet.
Pulse is comprised of a variety of seeds and grains which sprout easily. Sprouting is a fast way to grow food and contain vital nutrients. A person can have fresh greens in two-four days as opposed to the 30-90 days it takes to grow most vegetables. Soak the seeds in a glass of water for 10-12 hours. Rinse and cover with a cloth and rinse again each morning. As soon as the sprouts appear, it is time to eat. Be sure to start another batch as soon as one is ready to eat.
Salt is another one of those things vital to survival. Be sure to buy a good quality salt that has not been refined and stripped of its minerals. It is recommended to store at least eight pounds of salt per person.
The sanitation kit consists of a six gallon bucket with at least eight plastic bag liners, a snap on toilet seat, paper towels, rubber gloves, bathroom cleaner, hand sanitizing gel, hydrogen peroxide, toilet paper, baking soda, baby wipes, white vinegar, and water. These items can be used to construct and maintain a toilet for use in an emergency. By spraying vinegar and peroxide on an area, one after the other, surfaces can be decontaminated.
An emergency wash kit is for laundering clothes if there is no electricity. It consists of a six gallon bucket and lid, liter bottles of water, liquid laundry soap, clothesline and clothespins, dryer sheets, toilet plunger, hydrogen peroxide and vinegar. By using the bucket and a plunger with water and soap, clothing can be washed. Add one half cup peroxide and vinegar to sanitize and whiten clothes.
Dehydrated foods are great for storage and will last longer if they are very dry. A person can dehydrate their own foods at home by slicing very thin and dehydrating in the oven or a dehydrator at very low temperatures. The foods should be stored in dark bags in a cool, dry place.
Honey can be stored for very long times if it is raw honey. It not only has nutritional value, but can be used in many medicinal ways. As a medicine, honey can be used to treat wounds, stomach ache, cough, colds, burns and insomnia.
Wheat is a good storage item as it can be sprouted or planted and grown. Usually called Kamut or Spelt, the original wheat is best for storage. This can be purchased at most places which sell grains.
A wonder box cooker is a homemade item which can be used for cooking foods. It is constructed from fabric and filling with bean bag pellets for insulation. Boil food on a regular cooker first, then put in a wonder box to complete cooking time. The wonder box will hold the heat and use the available heat to finish cooking foods.
As for the bottled butter, you should begin with a high quality, organic butter. Bring to a boil in a saucepan and cook uncovered for approximately 35 minutes, or until it develops a foam on the top.
Pour through a stainer to remove the foam, and store in a clean, glass container. This is the best oil for cooking, will last indefinitely, will stimulate the digestion and increase ones immunity.
Personal protection, especially a must for women, consists of a whistle and pepper spray.
A toiletries kit contains personal items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, toilet paper, vinegar, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide and sanitary napkins.
Money, such as coins of silver and gold, or just cash will be very helpful in the event of an emergency. Anything made of precious metals may be used to purchase necessary items.
Shelter, such as a waterproof tent or sheet of plastic may be considered to be a very important item to have on hand. A 12x12 sheet of plastic will take up very little room and will be very beneficial for shelter if needed. A good item to have with the plastic is duct tape to use to form a windbreak or storm shelter.
A medicinal kit should contain disposable gloves, masks, aged garlic, anti plague, a rehydration kit and a complete first aid kit. Another item to have on hand is an extra supply of any prescription medications. Aged garlic will help prevent illness, especially contagious issues, and cayenne pepper will help sterilize wounds and stop bleeding.
Cheeses that will last for long periods of time are considered a good storage item. A simple way to store hard cheeses is to dip them in melted paraffin wax. Remove any wrappings on the cheese and dip the cheese in the melted paraffin and allow the wax to dry completely, and dip again. After four coats of the wax, add a layer of cheesecloth for protection and continue dipping and drying until the paraffin has formed a smooth, thick, bubble free surface is attained.
Store the cheeses in the coolest spot available. Some cheeses may be purchased already coated.
Besides these 20 items you shouldn't be without, Snow informed the group of many hints for extra nutritious eating such as Chia seeds and seaweed soup. She had several more recipes for using food storage and emergency medicinal hints.
It was also noted that many of the local grocery stores, including Stewart's in Castle Dale are stocking many food storage items. They will also order in anything that is wanted.
The next self sufficiency classes will be held April 7 and 16 at noon in the courthouse in Castle Dale.
Everyone is welcome and encouraged to bring a pot luck dish for lunch.

Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:12am
PHILADELPHIA - The men's lacrosse team kicked off its home opener with a 10-3 win over VMI on Saturday afternoon at Finnesey Field. With the victory, the Hawks start the season 2-1 for the first time since 2000.
"I thought that our guys battled really hard today," said head coach Taylor Wray. "We said that it was going to come down to individual players stepping up and making plays and we did that. Different guys made different plays today that they hadn't done in the past. I thought our goaltending again was very good and our defense played a strong game. A lot of young guys out there played some big time minutes and they ended up making the right decisions and making plays when they counted."
Saint Joseph's wasted no time getting on the board as sophomore midfielder Josh Cavanaugh netted the first goal of the game at the 9:27 mark of the first period to start a 4-0 SJU run.
Freshmen Richard Gabelman and Matt Blasco both recorded their first collegiate goals during the run while sophomore attack Michael Dougherty closed the run at the 6:16 mark with his third goal of the season.
VMI (0-4) scored its first goal with :29 remaining in the first period but neither team would add to the scoring in the second, as the Hawks led 4-1 heading into halftime.
Saint Joseph's freshman midfielder Bryan Garrahan notched his first collegiate goal at the 11:40 mark of the third period before the Keydets netted back-to-back goals at the end of the third and start of the fourth to close VMI's deficit to 5-3.
However, from the 9:06 mark of the fourth period, the Hawks went on a dominating 5-0 run that ended with Cavanaugh's second goal of the afternoon. For the game, Cavanaugh was good for two goals and two assists.
"Josh [Cavanaugh] is someone who is capable of playing like that all of the time," said Wray. "He just needs to improve his consistency. He's got great vision. He had a rough game a week ago, but he came back in the fourth quarter and stepped it up today. He made some incredible passes and played a great game."
Sophomore defender Will Farrell picked up a game-high five ground balls in the win while classmate Kevin Barrow caused two turnovers.
Sophomore goalkeeper Dustin Keen improved to 2-1 on the season as he made six saves on the day.
The Hawks held the advantage over the Keydets in shots, 31-24 and turned the ball over four less times (18-14) while VMI was 9-of-16 from the faceoff.
Saint Joseph's returns to action this Tuesday, February 26, across the city at Penn. Game time is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. at Franklin Field. Last season, junior attack Ryan McGee had a team-best three goals in a 9-5 loss to the Quakers.

CLEVELAND RESERVOIR The reservoir is ice-free. There was a lot of fishing pressure over the weekend, but no report came back to the DWR.
ELECTRIC LAKE Ice off has finally arrived. The best bait will be a dead minnow. Redside shiners can be caught in nets or minnow traps along the shoreline. Other baits include worms with salmon eggs, or PowerBait in green or rainbow colors. Fly fishermen may want to try #8 dark wooly buggers or leeches.
FAIRVIEW LAKES The ice is off. No report on fishing success.
GIGLIOTTI POND The pond was stocked in early May. Good fishing is expected.
GOOSEBERRY RESERVOIR The US Forest Service gate will be locked until the Memorial Day weekend.
HUNTINGTON CREEK Fly-fishing has been good with an elk hair caddis, blue-wing nymph or pheasant tail. Traditionally, Tom Ogden has had good luck with a size 10 beadhead Montana at this time of year. Conservation Officer Casey Mickelsen says that worms with salmon eggs or worms with marshmallows have been especially good.
HUNTINGTON NORTH STATE PARK State Park Manager Dan Richards says Huntington North Reservoir is gradually filling. He hopes that boat launching will be possible in the next few weeks. Dan has heard several reports of one-three pound bass being caught off the dam. Jigs or spinnerbaits seem to work best. Trout fishermen aren't having any luck, except for a few chubs and very small trout.
HUNTINGTON RESERVOIR (also known as MAMMOTH RESERVOIR) The reservoir is totally ice-free. Tressa Christianson fished last Friday and reported a lot of hits with worms and salmon eggs. She stressed sensitivity to bites and setting the hook quickly. The reservoir is closed to the possession of cutthroat trout. As of June 7, using motorboats with 10 horsepower or more will be prohibited.
JOES VALLEY RESERVOIR Aquatics biologists Justin Hart and Kenny Breidinger fished the reservoir last weekend. They caught about 40 splake inside the slot limit. They vertically jigged � oz. jigheads with 3-inch curlytail grubs from a boat on the east side south of the dam. Chartreuse and white were good colors for the grub. They always tipped the hook with chub meat. They also had good success on the west side near the mouth of Little's Creek, where they tossed out whole chubs or chub pieces on minnow hooks.
Two fisheries biologists from DWR's Springville office fished Joes Valley last week and did exceptionally well. One of the biologists, Richard Hepworth caught a 10-lb. splake on Friday morning. The other biologist, Mike Slater brought his daughter along. She lost an estimated 8-10 lb. splake just as she brought it to the bank. Richard and Mike used chub meat on minnow hooks cast from shore.
Special regulations apply at this reservoir. The limit is two fish. Only one may be over 22 inches. All trout from 15-22 inches must be immediately released.
LASAL MOUNTAINS If you're a fly fisherman and want to try Ken's Lake, use a streamer for bass or sunfish. Hidden and Dons lakes are accessible. No recent report on these ponds. Conservation Officer Casey McVay reports that the gates to Oowah and Warner will remain locked until the Memorial Day weekend. The rest of the mountain lakes remain inaccessible.
LOWER FISH CREEK Tom Ogden has had good luck with a #10 beadhead Montana. The creek is full of brown trout, which generally range from 8-12 inches. The road from Highway 6 to lower Fish Creek is expected to be muddy for a week or so.
MILLSITE RESERVOIR Fishing continues to be slow to fair, due to a rising water level, which puts a lot of natural food in the water. Fish fill up on insects and ignore angler offerings. Park Manager, Dan Richards has seen a few 2 pound rainbows come out of the reservoir. Apparently, the best technique is still-fishing from a boat on the north side. Try jigging plastic grubs tipped with bait.
SCOFIELD RESERVOIR Fisheries Biologist Justin Hart reports that fishing was great over the weekend. Shoreline anglers with egg sacs had some of the best success. Another excellent bait was a worm and marshmallow--this was effective lake-wide. Justin says tiger trout ran about 18 inches. Rainbows measured from 12-20 inches, although his creel survey technician checked two rainbows at the fish cleaning station that probably weighed 5 lbs. before they were gutted.
Tom Ogden fished the reservoir from a tube last weekend. The fish seemed to be moving to deeper water, 7-9 feet deep. Tom's catch consisted of one cutthroat, and the rest were a split between rainbows and tigers. Tom used dark-colored wooly buggers or leech patterns on size 8 hooks. Tom said the best technique was what he called the "cast, sink and strip" method.
WRIGLEY SPRINGS RESERVOIR The reservoir is ice-free. No fishing report.
WILLOW RESERVOIR The USFS gate remains locked. Inaccessible.

Smallmouth bass have gone ballistic. The open water reefs that were vacant last month are now red hot. Smallmouth bass from 6 inches to 2 pounds are surrounding reefs and long rocky points. Smaller bass are right on top of the reef in a few feet of clear water. Larger fish are residing off the reef edge at depths from 15-25 feet.
It's a sure thing to toss a single tail plastic grub (smoke, green or pumpkin) on a quarter ounce jig head to waiting bass. Just let the grub hit the reef and drag it a few feet at a time. Smallmouth bass will be all over it like a puppy chewing a bone.
Bass spawning is all but over. There may be a few bass still guarding nests but the rising lake covered the nests beyond visibility. Just fish the open reef structure now and maybe a guarding male can be caught. If not, there are so many bass hitting that spawning is no onger significant.
Other fish have made the switch to the 25-foot bottom contour on outside primary points leading into deep water. Stripers, walleye, and largemouth bass are consistently found on irregular bottom contours marked by "yellow water reefs" mixed with "deep blue water".
Look for the flat shoreline with lots of reefs and extended points to find a mixed bag of fish. Points often have a "saddle" just off shore with another reef much further out in the bay. This is the best habitat to fish this week.
To effectively fish reefs, employ a combination of casting or trolling the reef edges (with shallow runners like jerk baits or Wally divers), to spooning deep on the reef edge, or dragging a plastic grub or tube at 20 feet. Bass, stripers and walleye will all hit the same lures when the hot spot is located.
I caught nothing but fat stripers today using the end of reef technique. The reaction bait (spoon or crank bait) was appealing to stripers that feed on sunfish and crayfish. These fish have left the schools to forage on their own. They have fared better than the schooling stripers that do not get fed every day.
Schooling stripers are still being handily caught on bait in the main channel between the dam and the back of Navajo Canyon. At Bullfrog/Halls bait fishing is good from Lake Canyon to Hansen Creek.
Spring fishing is now at a peak. It will remain good for the remainder of May and then slow down in June. Morning and evening fishing is best with fish shallow along the shore. Fishing slows midday with the sun straight overhead when fish move deeper. Concentrate on the deep edges of open water reefs to catch fish all day long.

Movie review: 'Riddick'-ulous story of a Diesel and his hyenasSeptember 6, 2013 4:00 AM
"Riddick," a movie that might have been titled "A Diesel and his Digital Dingo Dog," is built to mirror the signature traits of its star. Like Vin Diesel, it has bulk, lumbering clumsily along as it repeats Mr. Diesel's greatest hits -- the ones that don't require him to drive a fast and furious car.
It's the third movie in Mr. Diesel's career-making "Pitch Black" (2000) trilogy, roughly -- very roughly -- picking up where 2004's "The Chronicles of Riddick" left off.
2 stars = Mediocre
Ratings explained
- Starring:
Vin Diesel, Jordi Molla, Matt Nable, Katee Sackhoff, Bokeem Woodbine.
- Rating:
R for strong violence, language and some sexual content and nudity.
The human convict has been dumped and left for dead on a planet covered with desert and just enough water holes to survive. And it's all just a tad ... familiar.
Riddick narrates his saga, his new life on a place where "the whole damned planet wanted a piece of me." Yeah, there are beastly birds and eels and scorpion-like monsters that come out when it rains.
Familiar. Except for the dogs, deep-space dingoes or hyenas, one of whom he befriends and trains to be his pal.
It's just him and the dog until he stumbles across a "mercenary post," where he sends out a distress call, luring two competing teams of bounty hunters, which he can then pick off, one by one. Jordi Molla and Matt Nable are the feuding mercenary bosses who long to collect the price on Riddick's head -- and only his head. But they aren't hearing Riddick's narration. He tries to warn them.
"It's always the punch you don't see coming that puts you down."
Mr. Diesel is wholly engaged in the project, unlike the last few "Furious" pictures, where sleepwalking was allowed. He grimaces through Riddick's self-surgery, scowls as he fights various digital beasts and turns all David Caruso with Riddick's omnipresent sunglasses.
The supporting players are mainly here to be sadists, and the fetchingly brawny Katee Sackoff, as a lesbian mercenary aptly named "Dahl," stands out in that crew.
But this is a slow, unexciting thriller lacking the edge-of-the-seat suspense of "Pitch Black." The story arc -- convict redeems himself by killing monsters and saving people -- is the same, but there's no snap to it.
Idiotically, Mr. Diesel and his collaborator in all things Riddick, writer-director David Twohy, expect us to remember details from the first two films -- not blockbusters, from a decade ago -- and to care that they conned Karl Urban into a thankless cameo reprising a role he played in "The Chronicles of Riddick."
But as bad movies go, you could do worse than having Mr. Diesel growl at a bunch of tough hombres who are already counting the bounty money they'll collect for his head, sunglasses and all: "Will it be enough to pay for your funerals?"moviereviews

The Emery High Spartan wrestling team opened the 2011-12 season with a match against the North Sevier Wolves at the Spartan Center in Castle Dale just before Thanksgiving. Final score of the match was 41-27 for North Sevier with Emery forfeiting two matches due to lack of wrestlers in the lightest weight groups.
Emery won four matches by pins and one by decision. North Sevier won four matches by pins, three matches by decisions and one by forfeit. At 106, neither team had a wrestler so no forfeit points were given.
Kenden Huff wrestling in the 220 pound weight class, gave Emery their first points of the night by pinning his man in the second round. Huff was down 3-2 after the first round and the two wrestlers started the second round in the neutral position. After about a minute of the round with no new points being awarded, Huff took his opponent down and pinned him with 52 seconds left in the round.
Brandon McCandless, wrestling in the 285 pound bracket, took his man down and pinned him with 59 seconds gone in the first round to give Emery the lead at 12-9.
Cezly Collard at 120 pounds scored next for Emery. Collard fell behind in the first round 2-0 when he was taken down with 15 seconds left in the round. In round two, Collard started from the down position, got a reversal 13 seconds into the round and then the two battled the rest of the round with no change in score. The period ended 2-2.
In round three, the final round, Collard fell behind 8-2 including a near fall. With less than 30 seconds left in the match, Collard somehow lifted his man off of him, got a reversal to get to 4-8, got a near fall to get to 7-8 and with 1.7 seconds left in the match, Collard got the pin and won.
Cole Guymon, at 145 pounds, took his man down halfway through the first round and then maneuvered his way into a hold that allowed him to pin his man with 19 seconds left in the round. Guymon controlled the match the entire way in getting the win.
Emery's final points came from Nagel Viera at 138 pounds. Viera's first round ended with the two wrestlers tied at 0-0. The second round ended with Viera up 3-2. In round three, Viera started down and fell behind 4-3 after a near fall and 7-3 after another near fall. Viera then got a reversal to narrow the gap to 7-5 and then got the win with a three-point near fall as the period ran down. Viera won 8-7.
Chet Funk, at 170 pounds, lost 10-9 as he came close to the win. Brett Sorensen, at 182 pounds, lost a decision, as did Adam Brinkworth at 126 pounds.
Other wrestlers for Emery were Jared Shakespaere at 132 pounds, Taylor Weihing at 152 pounds, Tyson Stout at 160 pounds and Brent "George" Sorensen at 195 pounds.

Yeah. She also did not look too exceedingly skinny compare to average elite or pro skaters. That's a scaring part. Then if a person manages to skate hard as well, it's difficult to tell seen from the outside whether or not the person is actually healthy. Hope skaters who secretly suffer get needed help.

"I like this vintage style Santa graphic, but I read that the designer used a cutting machine to cut a red vinyl decal to afix to the cream painted wood board. I don't know what kind of cutting machine she is talking about and I wonder how pricey it is? I'd like an alternative to getting that Santa on there."
"This wall decor is very chic with any message you write on it! And it couldn't be easier. However, another option to using foam core board would be to actually buy an old thrift store bulletin board and spray paint it black. I think it would give the wall art a little bit more of a lived-in rustic look as the cork board adds texture and interest."
"This DIY holiday project is something that I would like to do at home myself. This craft is not for everyone's taste, but if you like a certain minimalist decorating approach and you've got a creative eye then this is for you! At first I did not even notice the picture frame in the background. It's used to attach the branch to it. Cute idea!"

I made these for my friend to take to her mother in a nursing home. They are not allowed to have real flowers due to people with breathing problems such as asthma. She loved them, the people working there loved them also, no fuss no mess just a happy resident. Now my only problem is that they all want them.

Skip to comments.Jill Stanek: Obama and the sex life of 12 year olds
Posted on 04/16/2008 4:51:58 PM PDT by wagglebee
I'm not naïve. I know there are 12-year-olds in the world having sex. But it's not normal behavior. A 6th-grader seeking sex lives in a dysfunctional home. More likely she is being raped by an adult perpetrator. That's not what I say. That's what Planned Parenthood and Guttmacher Institute say:
The younger the mother, the greater the partner age gap. Fathers are on average 9.8 years older than mothers 11 to 12 years of age.
I have never known or heard of a father, diligent or absentee, liberal or conservative, who pondered aloud that his 9-year-old daughter in three short years might have unprotected consensual sex, so we must make contraceptives and abortion available to her.
Such a father would be creepy, close to a pedophilia promoter.
Such a father would be Barack Obama, who indicated such at Sunday's Compassion Forum.
As backdrop, everyone is by now familiar with Obama's infamous March 29 statement:
Look, I got two daughters 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby. I don't want them punished with an STD at age 16, so it doesn't make sense to not give them information.
(Excerpt) Read more at worldnetdaily.com ...
The leftists certainly don't.

That is an erroneous statement as it stands. But it depends upon how normal is defined. It's normal from a biological point of view for pubertal mammals to have sex. Other points of view (religious, parental, etc.) may disagree
It's also normal from a biological point of view, in some cases, for mothers to eat their young.
How about the article's statement that Obama is promoting pedophilia?
Really, its time to stop posting WND articles, they are just so ridiculous.
VERY disturbing! He also does not support giving medical attention to babies who have been born alive during partial birth abortion. That is a fact directly from his Ill. voting record!
Jill Stanek is a leader in the pro-life movement, she writes a regular column that they publish, she is not part of their writing staff.
"Look, I got two daughters 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby. I don't want them punished with an STD at age 16, so it doesn't make sense to not give them information."
That is downright creepy! Even thinking about the sexuality of two babies that age...his daughters, no less.
He learned well in the Madrassah the roles of boys and girls in this world!
Obama responded:
What I was saying was that my daughters are 9 and 6. And so if, at the age of 12 or 13, they made what I would consider to be a mistake, in having sex or unprotected sex, and ended up getting pregnant I think that statistically we know 12- or 13-year-olds who are having children are much more likely to be impoverished, are much more likely to have health problems, are much more likely to have trouble raising that child.
Human beings are not just mammals. Thery have intelligence and will. They do not have to blindly follow instinct.
Girls who start having sex at age 12 have not usually done so consensually. Early sexual behavior in girls leads to years of suffering from STDs, later abortions, loss of self-respect, lesbianism, low self-esteem and a host of other psychological and emotional problems.
Tell that to Margaret Mead.
So essentially, he wants to teach them 'values and morals'; but he also wants to make sure they know that there are no negative consequences for disrespecting those 'values and morals' - thoroughly typical.
I'm sorry to inform you that Margaret Mead is dead. Very dead.
"I don't want them punished with a baby. I don't want them punished with an STD...."
Man, I wonder how his daughters feel about his views on children. ("Okay, if I had to choose, I'm glad your mom had you rather than herpes, I guess".)
Well, it's only proper that you should be sorry. I accept your apology.
You are wrong. However, explaining why is not the point of this thread.
How I tire of this argument. It's quite normal in some mammals for there to be a strict sexual order. The dominant males breed in a harem, everyone else goes bye-bye. And if you take over the harem from another male...you get to eat the cubs.
Oh, and some animals eat their own feces.
I guess these behaviors should be normalized for humans as well?
This article proves what I was trying to say to you on the last thread about the way the pro-life movement twists things to serve their purpose. It doesn't work and it turns the majority of people off.
It doesn't even work with the pro-life people on this site.
Now, if you have something to say about the article, the author or the content, by all means respond. But if it's another Hildy's a horrible person comment, save it.
No kidding. 12 years old! Truly troubling.
So, now we are supposed to define normal behavior by the way that a wild animal acts? Besides the scientific and religious problems with the theory of evolution this is another negative effect of the acceptance of Darwinism. It can be used to justify any behavior. I have even heard evolution used as a justification / explanation for rape. So, please spare me your attempt to drag humans down to the lowest behavior level of animals.
You need to read the whole article. It doesn't twist anything at all but instead makes some very accurate observations. The only poster having problems with the article is an evolutionist who simply doesn't expect human beings to behave any differently than animals. A big problem since animals have no problem with killing, rape, and many other unacceptible behaviors.
Really, its time to stop posting WND articles, they are just so ridiculous.
Agreed. I'm not an Obama supporter, obviously, but this is so low and disgusting.
Barak Obama said:
Look, I got two daughters 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby. I don't want them punished with an STD at age 16, so it doesn't make sense to not give them information.
If that means that his 9 and 6 year olds know what sex, contraception, disease and abortion mean, then I'm guilty of the same. Many parents are.
My once-9 year olds certainly knew what abortion was at that age, and knew about sex, and contraception were long before that. They knew our views on them, too.
Catholic believe that children are a blessing from God within marriage. That isn't something you wait to share until they are teenagers. It's something you live and model.
Education and instilling morals is not a one-shot thing, it is a continual process of giving information, answering questions, and giving your views. I have given frank, factual information to my kids for years and I am not a grandmother yet. Information is not the enemy.
FTA: I have never known or heard of a father, diligent or absentee, liberal or conservative, who pondered aloud that his 9-year-old daughter in three short years might have unprotected consensual sex, so we must make contraceptives and abortion available to her.
Aloud? Maybe, maybe not. Most fathers aren't running for office, making their positions known, though.
But why the focus on "father"? Are father supposed to be absent from this sort of thing? Are they supposed to walk away or not care? And you'll have to show me a parent who, upon hearing of a pregnant teenager somewhere, didn't say "There but for grace". It occasionally happens in even the very best families.
Actually, I have friends who had this problem with their then 13 year old, about 7 years ago, so I have heard it aloud. I've heard the anguish in their voice when their daughter ran away with an older boy she met on the internet and had "relations" before they could find her.
Such a father would be creepy, close to a pedophilia promoter.
That's lower than anything I've seen lately and is a disgusting comment by an obviously sick, tortured mind. The person who wrote that seems to have issues.
I'm not an Obama supporter, as I said before, but no parent wants their child to suffer early sexual experiences or pregnancy or disease.
Again, is there some reason fathers are not supposed to care? Is there something that makes them automatically suspect of being a pedophile when they do?
You haven't been around much. Human beings all over the planet engage in voluntary sexual activity beginning around the time of puberty. Of course you don't have to approve of that, they'll do it anyway.
Sure there will always be some people who will do that. But isn't having sex at 12 condemned in virtually all societies except for those societies (typically patriarchical and often polygamous) which marry off young girls at a very early age.
There are a whole lot things that human beings do that you would not like---but they do them despite your disapproval. What "animal" has been performing clitorectomy routinely on its female offspring for a thousand years? It's not aadvarks. What animal instituted the practice of no sex before marriage only a few hundred years ago? Before that, following the betrothal system, pregnancy came before marriage.
Normal human beings are weirder than you would like to consider.
Yes, you're correct---societies, in an effort to modify normal human behavior, institute a variety of means of control, including laws and social disapproval. They wouldn't have to do that if human beings would just straighten up and behave "normally" would they?
Normal is defined by the actions and beliefs of the group. For example, there will always be some serial killers in the human population. However, we don't consider their behavior to be normal and society makes it clear that such behavior is wrong and will be punished. As to Margaret Mead and her study of the Samoans, Derek Freemans work seems to strongly suggest that she was either decieved by her sources or simply published a fraudulent work. http://www.stpt.usf.edu/~jsokolov/314mead1.htm
A lot of Margaret Mead's stuff was lies.
Humanity as a whole can't just "straighten up" due to the existence of sin in the world. This will not change until our Savior comes again. That does not mean that there is no right and wrong.
That depends. Some groups have no beliefs---animals, of course. Then, in human beings, it depends upon what group---those who strive to change human behavior, those who defy the controlling group, but themselves constitute a group. Take homosexuality, for an example, which group defines normality? Take cigarette smoking---which group defines normality?
That is why eventually I define normal by the Bible and as you probably guessed I am not a big fan of social anthropology (though I apologize for being a bit of a jerk to you in my first post). But even on a sherely scientiffic basis many of the biggest claims by social anthropologists have been suspect at best.
You are right, or should I say not wrong?
But,even that depends upon who gets to say what is right or wrong, and mankind has been struggling with that one since the Beginning.
Thanks, but I hold similar beliefs myself so I understand. It's that I've spent a career dealing with abnormal people and have been fully exposed to the underside of the human condition. We have a saying in my business: "We are all furry little beasts wearing human suits."
That is an erroneous statement as it stands. But it depends upon how normal is defined. It's normal from a biological point of view for pubertal mammals to have sex. Other points of view (religious, parental, etc.) may disagree.
Absolutely correct. There is no "normal." It's an illusion. The freest, most prosperous, productive civilzations in most of our history have been ones that declared a Judeo-Christian ethic. The most barbaric and cruel societies, where innocents including children are sacrificed, where females are supressed to sub-human status, where slavery either by law or by socialism, is okay -- not a one of them declares the Judeo Christian ethic.
Our Judeo-Christian foundation is the key that we turn and open the door to our lives, progress, pursuit, and freedom. When we allow its tenets to be rejected, we suffer the consequences and it should come as no surprise. It isn't as if there haven't been plenty of examples over the centuries.
To equate smoking cigarettes with homosexuality shows me the depth of your intellect.
I don't smoke, but posts like yours make smoking seem attractive, if only for the "GET STUFFED" quotient.
My apologies if you're gay, no offense intended.
Yeah, right, okay.
If you had a brain cell, it would be quite lonely.
Good day.
I am totally at a loss as to what it is in this commentary that you disagree with.
But if its another Hildys a horrible person comment, save it.
I have NEVER said that you are a horrible person. I have always been very open about the areas where I disagree with you; however, I can see where this may have at times come across as being a personal attack, if this is the case then I sincerely apologize.
What I was saying was that my daughters are 9 and 6. And so if, at the age of 12 or 13, they made what I would consider to be a mistake, in having sex or unprotected sex, and ended up getting pregnant...
To say, "...what I would consider to be a mistake..." implies two things:
Others could validly consider it NOT to be a mistake.
It would be an error, but not an evil, in his opinion if his 12 year old daughter had sex with some guy.
How does this NOT give tacit consent men having sex with 12 year olds? His refusal to judge condones the behavior - statutory rape in most states.
Really? I hadn't noticed! Shucks...I must be one of those poor naive religious folks.
You seem to be adopting the idea--and correct me if I'm wrong--that "normal" is defined by what actually occurs in human populations. So if people do it...then it must be normal.
But is that really accurate? So if, say, a culture evolves that promotes statutory rape...then that behavior is normal?
There isn't a society alive that works that way though...every society has a system of "ought". Though of course there are people that go against that system, the system doesn't go away because of those who buck it. And I've never heard of any culture, frankly, that basis said system on what it views in the animal kingdom.
If you listen carefully to his answer,
you'll hear that he wanted to make sure that he didn't say that having sex at 12 or 13 was a mistake, but qualified it with "unprotected".
Obama's stated, verbalized opinion is that it would be OK, even for his daughters, to have "protected" sex at 12 or 13. To state otherwise would probably be too judgemental for the lefties.
Also notice, conspicuously absent from his response - the "A" word - ADOPTION.

Colorado Community Media asked the five candidates running for three open seats on the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education a series of questions. Below are their responses.
Dallas Jones
The Centennial resident was a stay-at-home dad until the younger of his two daughters graduated from Arapahoe High School last spring. With a master's degree in management, his background is in business and computer science. He works as an independent financial-systems consultant.
He is excited about the possibilities of alternate forms of delivering curriculum, and puts forth Khan Academy as an example. It's a free online resource that lets anyone, anywhere take classes, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation gave it $1.5 million in 2010 to expand. The Los Altos School District in California is piloting it.
Why are you seeking this office?
I want to ensure LPS doesn't simply exist, but that it continues to thrive. To be successful, we must continue to provide an educational experience superior to surrounding public and private school competitors. My priorities are to 1) maintain a safe and rewarding learning environment for both the educator and the student, 2) maintain enrollment at schools currently at full capacity and increase enrollment at schools where excess capacity exists, 3) motivate students and families to take responsibility for their own education, and 4) seek opportunities where we can lever our instructional resources with applied technology.
What makes you the best person for the job?
First, I'm trained and experienced in directing organizations and efforts on both a large and small scale. Second, I bring skills and perspectives that are different yet complementary to the existing LPS team. I have an arms-length connection with the district enabling me to offer an independent viewpoint. Finally, I'm a team player and not the predetermined answer man. Instead I'm able to isolate the issues, ask the pertinent questions, and frame the discussion in a way that encourages all parties to participate in a collaborative solution.
What do you believe is the most important issue facing Littleton Public Schools and how will you approach it, if elected?
Our biggest challenge is to continue delivering an outstanding education while coping with a constantly changing environment. Families have more educational choices than ever, and neighboring public and private schools are raising their game. Meanwhile, our in-district, school-age population continues to decline slightly, and we rely on funding from a taxpayer base whose economic future is uncertain. Also, schools are being forced to divert valuable time and effort away from instruction to comply with a disjointed set of mandates coming from the state and federal levels.
If elected, I will 1) work to understand the needs of families with students, 2) prepare our students with not only post-secondary and workforce skills, but also instill in them a sense of responsibility and self sufficiency, and 3) work with our community and elected officials to comply with mandates in a way that doesn't diminish the quality of education LPS delivers.
Kelly Perez
Perez has lived in Centennial for 19 years, raising five kids in the district. She's been on nearly every LPS committee and served as president of the parent-teacher organizations at Damon Runyon Elementary, Powell Middle School and Arapahoe and Heritage high schools — the last two at the same time. Prior to having kids, she was a social worker. More recently, she says she took a leave of absence from her job as an education consultant at Xerox to run her campaign.
Her youngest two kids are still in the district, one in sixth grade at Powell and the other a sophomore at Arapahoe.
Why are you seeking this office?
My father used to say, "One thing no one can ever take away from you is your education," and that has stayed with me. I have a passion for education. I want to keep striving to maintain the comprehensive educational opportunities that LPS offers. I want our high school graduates to receive a world-class education that will help them succeed in a global society. I want our board to keep striving for excellence and always look to the horizon to keep pace with the ever-changing future. I am running also to ensure that teachers are supported to do what they do best.
What makes you the best person to do the job?
I have extensive experience with LPS and have invested 19 years of my life ensuring its continued success, with duties ranging from room parent to chairing the District Accountability Committee. I was also involved in the 2010 mill levy, being PTO and school accountability at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. Put simply, I have a panoramic view of LPS. Over the many years of my involvement in LPS, I have developed a passion for literacy as the fundamental building block of student's success. I also have the vision to maintain LPS as a place where students get a world-class educational experience.
What do you believe is the most important issue facing Littleton Public Schools and how you will approach it, if elected?
School funding is the most important issue facing Littleton Public Schools. Presently, our schools' infrastructure average age is about 50 years old and in need of repairs. We need to provide a safe and modern environment for our students and teachers. There will be a school bond proposal to the voters in November, which if approved, will do much to modernize the current infrastructure. I am a supporter of this initiative. Potential increases in classroom sizes and changing demographics will also pose challenges, which we will need to prepare for. We are fortunate in LPS that the community has a history of always supporting our schools. I would take great effort in fostering and advancing the parent-teacher and community-school relationships that will make LPS to be even stronger in the future. I am champion for excellence in our schools.
Robert Reichardt
The Aberdeen Village resident has a doctorate in public-policy analysis and has worked as an education-policy researcher for the last 15 years. His two daughters opted into Centennial Academy of Fine Arts Education; one is a budding singer, he says, and the other studies violin.
He worked on Colorado School Grades, a private project that has sparked some controversy as to methodology but calls itself a tool for school choice — one of the hot-button topics stirring things up in neighboring Douglas County. He says he believes strongly in school choice, but does not support public money going to private education.
Why are you seeking this office?
I have 15 years of experience helping schools, districts, and states improve their education systems. I will use my background knowledge in education policy and programs to move our schools from good to excellent. I am a dad; Littleton is where I am raising my family. I have two girls attending third and fifth grade in LPS schools. I want to contribute to keeping this a great place for my family and all LPS families to raise their children.
What makes you the best person for the job?
My 15 years of experience as an education policy researcher make me the best LPS Board candidate. I am a data geek. This gives me extensive background knowledge of policy context and of education research. I work with schools, districts and states identifying goals for improvement, measuring progress towards those goals, aligning resources to meet the goals, and assessing if organizations have met those goals. I think this experience will be an asset in focusing LPS on continuous improvement. I have both a systems improvement and a parent's perspective.
What do you believe is the most important issue facing Littleton Public Schools and how will you approach it, if elected?
We must maintain high expectations and program accountability. Accountability will both focus our work and help communicate to parents and community members the return on their investments in our schools. We need to be able to clearly communicate the value of programs such as PLCs, coaches, and technology. Also, there are a large number of reforms coming from the state level (Colorado Academic Standards, SB 191, READ Act, etc.) which can easily become overwhelming. District leadership needs to make sure that reform pacing and implementation are effective. Finally, LPS is changing. This is a good thing, but we need to be prepared for the changing populations in our district. Good instruction is the key to meeting the challenges of changing demographics: our teachers need to be able to identify and respond appropriately when students are struggling with classroom expectations and when students have mastered classroom material.
Jack Reutzel
Reutzel, an attorney, is a 20-year resident of Bow Mar. His son graduated from Littleton High School and his daughter is a sophomore at Heritage.
He and his wife, Karen, maintained a private practice in the Coors Building on Main Street for several years, but they both now work at the Denver firm of Fairfield and Woods. Specializing in land-use issues, he earned his law degree from the University of Denver and his master's degree in city planning from the University of Pennsylvania. He represented the developer of Littleton Commons, an apartment complex Littleton City Council recently approved for County Line Road east of Broadway.
Why are you seeking this office?
I want to be part of a district that is devoted to the success of kids. As a district resident for over 23 years and a parent for 20 years, I have seen the results of great teachers and the lasting effect they have. I have seen engaged parents, coaches and teachers provide great options for after school activities. I understand the value of a great school district to the greater community in terms of home property values, business growth and overall desirability. I have been active in the district for 10 years and am ready for this next step.
What makes you the best person for the job?
I have no agenda other than maintaining the excellence of this district for students and residents. I bring a diverse set of skills to the board. I have volunteered in the district for ten years so I understand how the district works, but I also bring a business and legal perspective that allows me to see the bigger picture for the benefit of the kids. I bring the perspective of a parent to decision making and I am an advocate for kids. I listen and ask questions to try to find consensus in all of my decision-making.
What do you believe the most important issue facing Littleton Public Schools and how will you approach it if elected?
Maintaining and enhancing the excellence of this district is the most important issue because it will require the management of many moving parts, including: (1) being diligent at the state to advocate for LPS and ensure fair allocation of resources; (2) making sure that we are spending money wisely and with the best interest of the students at the center of our decisions; (3) attracting and maintaining the best teachers and administrators in the state, (4) understanding the changing demographics of the district and vest principals and teachers to accommodate the student (5) integrating technology into everyday classroom applications and real world settings; (6) taking care of our buildings and infrastructure. My experience will enable me to help lead the district in a consistent, thoughtful and positive manner. I will listen and interact with the three pillars of the district; parents, teachers and administrators to ensure continued success.
Carrie Warren-Gully
Carrie Warren-Gully lost to Nancy Doty in last year's Arapahoe County commissioner race, but she's been a volunteer in LPS for 13 years. Notably, she chaired the committee that got the 2010 mill levy passed despite the recession.
She's also volunteered with Great Education Colorado, Boy Scouts, 9News Health Fair and St. Andrew United Method Church.
A Centennial resident, her three boys all went to Sandburg Elementary School, Newton Middle School and Arapahoe High School. With her oldest off to college, she's now had the LPS experience from beginning to end and been active at the school and district levels throughout.
Why are you seeking this office?
We all know that Littleton Public Schools is one of the greatest school districts around. My husband Jim and I have raised three boys in Centennial, and they have attended LPS their entire school careers. I am running for school board because I want to continue the great work of this district.
Additionally, I am very concerned about the ongoing mandates and requirements we see from the Colorado State Legislature. New laws that have been passed over the course of the past five years are unprecedented and continue to drain time from the classroom and the district budget.
What makes you the best person for the job?
I believe that public education is the most important element of our democracy. Without education for all our children, regardless of their background, we will fail as a nation and not be ready for the global economy of today.
Through my volunteer service over the past 12 years, I have an expansive view of the district from elementary to high school and an awareness of the diversity of schools and families we have across the district. In addition to serving as PTO president at all levels and as chair of the District Accountability Committee, I chaired the 2010 successful mill levy campaign.
What do you believe is the most important issue facing LPS and how will you approach it, if elected?
Issues that will demand our attention are financial constraints due to budget cuts and unfunded state mandates.
The majority of bills passed in our state legislature regarding education do not include funding to pay for implementation. We as a state cannot continue to put more on the plates of schools without adequate funding to implement them.
Financially our district is running very lean. Over the past three years we have lost $17 million in funding from the state. If the budget cuts and unfunded mandates continue we could potentially see larger classroom sizes and a reduction in program offerings.
I would work to make sure we continue to be smart with our money, looking for more efficiencies and fostering community partnerships to make every dollar count. Furthermore, I would work with our legislators to make sure they understand the true economic impacts of their decisions on our children.
