As the New Year begins, it seems fitting to take a look at a few of the most popular blog discussions from 2012.
Your perspectives on survivorship are what I hope to bring forward for discussion every week in the coming year.
Here are a few highlights from 2012:
Our goal for the Living with Cancer newsletter and blog is to provide the best knowledge, resources and support to live well as a survivor. Feel free to comment with ideas and suggestions for blog topics for 2013.

How do I best support a 9 year surviver of bile duct cancer and liver transplant? He is afraid to plan for the future even after 9 years of great test results.
I'm a student at the University of Chicago and I'm conducting research on homeopathic treatments for alopecia from chemotherapy. I would greatly appreciate 5 minutes of your time to answer a short survey on your experience. As the sister of a cancer survivor, I understand how terrible this disease is and am only looking to gather data, not sell or promote anything
Went thru Breast Cancer with removal of lymphs and right breast. Through all the chemo and radiation, my worst experience was and is with chemo brain. I stay in touch with the local cancer centers and oncologist but even they are reticent about "chemo brain". My PCP has put me on aricept (dementia). Now they tell me I can't go off it without an even lower drop in cognitive/memory issues. HELP!!!!!
You now see more articles about CA in situ and the over treatment of this type of cancer. One cannot compare this type of cancer to invasive cancer with possible involvement of the lymph nodes. I underwent 5 months of chemo and have chemo brain and peripheral neuropathy. Since some people don't understand the various stages and degrees of breast cancer, they should identify some of these cancers that do not require treatment differently in all fairness to the cancer patients who have been treated.
i was diagnosed with prostate cancer at the end of 2011. i was put through a TURP surgery in february 2012. i did not have any chemo or radio
therapy but my surgeon put me on flutamide 250 mg three times a day. i sleep a lot and work hard to eat right. i am hyperactive by nature so i am engaged in my garden, my study writing serious books, i cook my food since i am a widower.it is now one since i had the trans urethra resection of the prostate surgery (by scoping). my urologist stopped my flutamide yesterday and ask me to do serum testorone test.after three months i am to do a psa test and another serum testorone test.i am seventy in good health, armed with psychological, spiritual and emotional weapons.i advise cancer survivors never to brood or go into fear and self pity.just be disciplined in eating and living.
One of the mysteries about any disease is the role of destiny.Some people take all the relevant precautions and yet they die untimely deaths.Others survive.
Laurie, Had 2B breast CA, full course of treatment in 2010. Ended up with a big case of chemo brain as well. I did cognitive therapy with a group called Brain Fitness in Safety Harbor FL. Worked wonders. Go see a neurologist that works with traumatic brain injury and see if they will recommend a course of therapy for you as well.
My only lingering side effect is fatigue. I walk my dogs, work full time, walk them again then fall into a coma on the couch by 8pm. I am at the YMCA 3-4 days a week with either yoga or Body Pump so the issue isn't exercise. Blood work looks solid. Eat healthy. Never been overweight. Don't drink or smoke. Any suggestions from anyone would be welcome.
Explanation to Laurie,
I have seen that cancer is a psycho-somatic disease and differ from person to person. It is ONE BIG underlying reason that cause it. By being honest with ourselves and DO something about that underlying cause, that will be the start of the healing of the cancer. We are looking for complicated solutions when the answer is right under our nose. I have only been affected by tiredness-fatigue, I can concentrate on to heal from the cancer, I do not have to struggle with hard side-effects from treatments. I have my hair, healthy skin, slim muscolous body, clear mind so I function to make and do intelligent decisions. The cancer go through our 7 elimination channels-step by step. I am not done yet, but one of the elimination-channels 'The Lymphatic System' the big cleaner of the body, is working perfect, since none of my lymph-nodes has been removed. I gave myself 50/50 chance, and so far it works. Peace and quiet is important to have around, sleep a lot, exercise and a very healthy diet.
Confused. If you have had cancer since 2008 why have youhad no form of treatment? What type of cancer do you have? I was reading about chemo brain when I happened upon this. FYI chemo brain is very real. I had a 3.87 gpa and for the moment I have a hard time thinking straigght and expressing myself clearly and properly. They say it will clear up and I seriously hope so. It is not like my patients who have brain trauma, it is very different.
I would like to tell other patients that I have not let this, well should I say "bump in the road" effect me emotionally though. This is just another thing that you may need to deal with in lifes journey. Some bumps seem harder and bigger than others.
Always remember to look at the bright side! in my case I figure chemo is an excellent weight lose program. lol. I did not get nausia really but still lost alot. Look into PPI's (proton pump inhibitors) mine seemed to work for me very well just neeeded to double up on them.
Also hey you get to try new hair do's (length color etc)There are a lot of things to drag you down in life. dont let this one be any different. Be better than it and smile for days to come.
One survivor to the next=)
Happy New Year,
I have had cancer ince 2008. I haven't had any traditionally treatments at all,no radiatio, surgery, chemo, hormone-treatments, medications, nothing. My treatments are: a lot of sleep-10-12 hours per night, exercise 6 days per week, vegan-diet with fish. I have no pain anywhere but I am fatigue. i do not dismiss traditional medicine, not at all. In my case I was in circumstances at the time, so I had to choose another route. I follow the disease with interest and I can see that cancer have different "stages" just like any other disease.

I bet all money that Starc pings Kallis with a bouncer at some stage throughout the series.
My appetite is whet
Up and going
now let's look at the bowling figures
Brad McNamara @bbuzzmc
Will say this once and then nothing else. Defamation laws quite clear in Aus.be careful.
Steyn / Philander / Morkel:
Overs: 3723.4
Runs: 12305
Wickets: 500
Rating Pnt. / 1000: 943.44
Siddle / Hilfenhaus / Pattinson:
Overs: 2164
Runs: 6497
Wickets: 215
Rating Pnt. / 1000: 728.31
Difference: 943.33 - 728.31 = 215.02 or 21.5% better
Luck going Aussie way it seems.
1. Kallis is out with flu, going in 1st test with no practice at all it seems
2. AB is in doubt with his back, no cricket practice for him at all untill now
3. Philander hit on shoulder during nets, with DeLange injured SA have not brought a single back-up pace bowler.
Seriously, I didn't expect SA to come to Aus with so little match practice, except Philander almost no major player in their squad has played any FC cricket since Lord's test. Hmm...I say huge opportunity for Aus to claim #1 ranking.

Today's example is a story from from MIT Technology Review: "Shale Gas Will Fuel a U.S. Manufacturing Boom."
The story jumps on a plastics angle right away, although that's not the emphasis. Here's the first graph:
"People predicting a manufacturing renaissance in the United States usually imagine whirring robots or advanced factories turning out wind turbines and solar panels. The real American edge might be in something entirely more mundane: cheap starting materials for plastic bottles and plastic bags."
The other snippet of news: the story quotes Michael Levi, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, saying that cheap natural gas may not actually fuel a U.S. manufacturing boom, but it might be enough to keep any more work from moving offshore.
"Cheap natural gas might do more to keep existing manufacturing plants open than it will to get people to build new ones," Levi said.
The story doesn't cover new ground, but it's interesting to note what others are saying about the plastics industry.

South Africa bounced back from consecutive defeats on the road with a comprehensive 31-8 victory over Australia in Pretoria on Saturday.
South Africa bounced back from consecutive defeats on the road with a comprehensive 31-8 Rugby Championship victory over Australia at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria on Saturday.
The Springboks led 14-3 at the interval but the Wallabies were lucky not to be much further behind. Two tight calls from the TMO meant the home side did not have the four-try bonus point by half-time, but Heyneke Meyer's men secured a full house of points after the break as Bryan Habana bagged a hat-trick to add to earlier scores from Zane Kirchner and Francois Louw.
Mike Harris touched down in the last quarter for the Wallabies, but the horse had already bolted. Once Kirchner had scored the first try, the visitors never looked like getting back into the contest.
While Bok fans will certainly sleep better after their side showed the most attacking prowess of the Meyer era so far, their enthusiasm should be held in check by the fact that this was not Australia's strongest team by any stretch of the imagination (and Robbie Deans' squad looks to have been even further depleted by injuries as they head to Argentina after Adam Ashley-Cooper was taken from the field on a stretcher).
The first quarter ended scoreless after Berrick Barnes missed an early chance to open the scoring before his opposite number Johan Goosen also failed with his only two shots at goal.
But the Boks showed their positive intentions by turning down another penalty – won thanks to an impressive rolling maul – in the 21st minute, opting rather for an attacking line-out. The decision paid off as, after a few phases of pressure, Zirchner did well to twist and turn his way over for the first try.
Ruan Pienaar took over the kicking duties and provided the extra two points from the tee but Goosen showed why he was chosen at ten with a scintillating line-break that took him to within inches of the line. The TMO confirmed that he was short of his first Test try, but Bok fans would have nevertheless been chuffed to see their fly-half attacking with ball in hand.
A well-taken try from short range from Habana and another conversion from Pienaar doubled the lead as the Wallabies struggled to contain their hosts.
The Wallabies got on the scoreboard as the half drew to a close when Kurtley Beale split the uprights but the visitors where lucky not to go further behind when Kirchner bolted into the same corner as his earlier score. The full-back's heal clipped the touchline though thanks to a try-saving tackle from Ashley-Cooper which left the Wallaby centre out cold.
Australia's woes, especially at the breakdown, continued after the break and the visitors were reduced to fourteen men in the 53rd minute when James Slipper was sent to the bin for his transgressions on the deck.
His absence proved to be extremely costly for the tourists with the Boks adding two more tries while he watched from the sidelines.
Louw, who was excellent once again, was rewarded for his efforts as he scored from the back of a rolling maul.
Six minutes later Habana added his second after some quick thinking from the speedster, who took a quick throw-in to hooker Adriaan Strauss, who also had clarity of mind when he pulled in the defenders and offloaded to the flyer.
Harris scored in the right hand corner as the Wallabies refused to go down quietly but Habana had the last say when he raced home for his third touchdown after Louw took a gap and sent the winger on his way to his 46th Test try in the 79th minute.
Man of the Match: There were handful of candidates in green with the home loose trio doing very well, but you can't look further than the hat-trick hero Bryan Habana, who seems to have found his mojo again and had the fans at his former home ground out of their seats.
Moment of the match: It might not have come from a classic bolt down the touchline, but Habana's first try was the product of the Boks' willingness to keep the ball moving (and the veteran wings knack for finding gap). It put the hosts 14-0 up and the Wallabies looked beaten for all money.
Villian of the match: No nasty stuff to report
The scorers:
For South Africa:
Tries: Kirchner, Habana 3, Louw
Con: Pienaar 3
For Australia:
Try: Harris
Pens: Beale
Yellow card: Slipper (53rd min – ruck infringements)

Replacements: 16 Tiaan Liebenberg, 17 Pat Cilliers, 18 Flip van der Merwe, 19 Marcell Coetzee, 20 Elton Jantjies, 21 Juan de Jongh, 22 Pat Lambie.

Big ankles?
"So, I got these sandals in gold and they are magnificent! They seem to be built with quality in mind, however they are hard as a rock...no cushioning at all. Also, I guess I have "fat feet/ankles" cause I can't close the strap around my ankle :( I'm gonna try punching another hole in the strap to make it a little longer, cause there is no way I'm getting rid of these beautiful shoes! In regards to length and width, they run true to size."

Alison Rhodes, "The
Safety Mom"
National Child Safety Expert, Alison Rhodes, "The Safety Mom," is one of the country's
leading child safety authorities, providing tips and advice to parents on a broad
range of issues facing all children - newborns to teens. Read
Newborn screening, often referred to as the "PKU test," is a simple, inexpensive blood test performed on babies in the first 48 hours after birth to look for serious and often life-threatening disorders. At least 4 million babies in the United States are tested every year, and severe disorders are detected in about 3,000. Most state-required screening is free or costs a nominal fee.
Standard newborn screening consists of a small sample of blood being taken from your baby before being discharged from the hospital. The heel used to be the most common place to take the sample, so it is often called a "heel stick," but the blood may also be drawn from the inside of the elbow. The blood should be taken around 48 hours after birth. Some tests, such as the one for PKU, may not give accurate results if it is performed too early. Because many babies are discharged early from the hospital, some babies are tested within the first 24 hours and then must be retested 1 to 2 weeks later. The blood is placed on a piece of filter paper, allowed to dry for 4 to 6 hours, and is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. The results of the screening usually take a few weeks to come back. Many labs will call the physician in the case of abnormal results, while normal results will be sent in the mail.
Newborn screening tests for disorders that can cause mental retardation, severe illness, and premature death if not detected at birth. For example, hypothyroidism is the most common disorder identified by routine screening, affecting 1 baby in 3,000. Congenital hypothyroidism is a thyroid hormone deficiency that retards growth and brain development; but if it is detected in time, the baby can be treated with oral doses of thyroid hormone to permit normal development.
If your baby's test results come back as abnormal, try not to be overly alarmed; the initial screening tests give only preliminary information that must be followed up by more precise testing. False-positive results are possible with newborn screening and most babies turn out to be normal after further testing.
There is currently no federal standard for which disorders newborns are tested, and as a result, screening varies widely from state to state. However, all states screen for at least two disorders: phenylketonuria (PKU) and hypothyroidism, and many states include sickle cell anemia, galactosemia, and homocystinuria.
Expanded newborn screening (ENBS) is available through private companies and laboratories for an additional charge and uses Tandem Mass Spectrometry (MS/MS) to test for up to 40 rare disorders. ENBS is expensive and most states don't have the highly-trained experts required to run the very specialized screenings and then effectively and accurately interpret the results; therefore, it is not available in all areas. In addition, there are no cures or known treatments for many of the disorders for which ENBS screens.
However, you can request ENBS if you feel you are at a higher risk for a disorder. If you answer yes to any of the following questions, you may want to discuss ENBS with your doctor:

LeBron James tweeted his apparent support for gun control in the wake of Friday's school shooting in Newtown, Conn., that killed 20 kids and seven adults.
"Imagine it happening to my kids school," James tweeted. "I and the rest of the families would be devastated! Something has to be done. Land of the free, BS!"
SCHOOL SHOOTING: Follow the story
In another tweet, James wrote: "This is really messing with my mind. Kids is everything to me! And of course i have 2 of my own in elementary school as well."
James' Miami Heat teammate Dwyane Wade tweeted: "Just saw my boys walk in from school. Hugged them tight. Can't imagine the loss of 4 families in newtown. We're supposed to PROTECT our kids."
Reaction from sports figures was widespread on Twiitter. Here's a sampling:
-- Chicago Bulls forward Carlos Boozer echoed James on gun control: "Saying A Prayer For All The Families Affected By The Horrific Shooting In Connecticut... Need To Get These Guns Off The Streets..."
-- Andy Miele, who plays minor league hockey in the Phoenix Coyotes system, tweeted: "How many more Shootings does there need to be before they band guns from the states. American killing Americans. Maybe we should stop Worrying about other countries killing people and focus on ours. Thoughts and prayers out to CT families"
-- Sports agent Leigh Steinberg added to the chorus: "Guns Don't Kill People....Right - 'How many deaths will it take til we know that too many people have died' "
-- Blake Wheeler, a Winnipeg Jets forward currently playing in Germany, tweeted: "The second amendment to the US Constitution: the right to keep and bear arms. Starting to feel outdated to me"
-- But not to golfer Paul Azinger: "Americans are free to do a lousy job of raising kids, glorify violent films/videogms, omit God, then blame the gun for a murderers actions?"
-- New England Patriots wide receiver Donte Stallworth cautioned against such talk just yet: "There's plenty of time to play politics and talk gun control....today is not the day to do so. Let these people mourn their losses."
-- Kansas City Royals pitcher Danny Duffy agreed: "Talking gun control or defending the 2nd amendment.. NEITHER will bring these kids back. Its not a time of debate. Its a time of prayer."
-- Chicago Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall thinks it is time to talk about a different issue: "It hurts to hear about todays shootings. With what's been going on is it now ok to talk about Mental Health?"
He added in another tweet: "Or will we listen to the need to take it from a tabu topic to an everyday conversation?"
-- Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe also posted consecutive tweets: "The way we deal with this tragedy in CT will tell us a lot about where we're headed as a society. Do we only address the symptoms (i.e. just gun control laws)? Or do we also address the disease - how we treat each other and those who need help."
-- Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III: "I may not be a parent, but I can not begin to imagine how it feels to have my child's life taken away. And No one ever should"
-- Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant: "Prayers go out to the families that were affected by the shooting in Connecticut, c'mon man this is too sad! Damn"
-- New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees: "My heart breaks for the families of those killed in Newtown, Conn. It is so senseless. I am angry, disgusted, but most of all extremely sad"
-- Former Detroit Lions running back Barry Sanders: "As a parent, as an American, as a human being -its heartbreaking to hear about the tragic shooting in Connecticut. My prayers to the victims"
-- Portland Trail Blazers forward Nicolas Batum: "Kids, they are kids! I can't understand what's wrong with some people in this society. Praying for those who lost someone in this tragedy"
-- Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis began a tweet and linked it to his Facebook account so he could expand his thoughts beyond 140 characters. He wrote in part: "We must wake up ... evil is now attacking our kids. Lord please show us another way, why so much silence when so much pain exists everyday. We must come together, lets not let this be just another Tragedy. The only way to do it is together, if it takes a village to raise 1 child then it's gonna take everything we have to save our children."
-- USA TODAY Sports' Jim Corbett spoke to Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall, who attended Virginia Tech, where there was a mass shooting in 2007.
"They just shot up an elementary school?" Hall said. "What's going on, man? This is crazy. This is crazy. My kids go to a private school in Georgia. Thank God it's a gated campus.
"This is ridiculous. I'm all about the right to have a gun. But I don't need an assault rifle to go hunting. You know what I mean?"

Maybe they don't have as much padding as some other brands of flats that I own (Rocket Dogs or Blowfish), but still a great shoe. I wear between a 8.5 & 9, depending on the shoe. I tried both on & decided the 8.5 was just too snug to be comfy & would have taken too long to stretch out and break in. The 9 fits kinda loose, but I prefer that over snug."

SPRINGFIELD -- Governor George H. Ryan today announced that public school districts, university laboratory and charter schools applying for a Fiscal Year 2001 school maintenance grant will receive funding for their top priority projects. Funding levels this year will also allow a second grant award to a significant number of entities based on a "need index" defined in the program rules.
"These grants enable all school districts to provide a safer and healthier environment for our students," Ryan said. "Last year, the first year of this special program, 239 schools were able to repair or replace heating and air conditioning systems and another 54 used their grant money to remove asbestos. Roofing problems, electrical systems, and fire alarm systems are among other priority areas that were improved."
Districts could apply for as many grants as they had needs and could provide the required dollar for dollar local match. Each project grant could be for up to $50,000 in one of five categories: emergency, health/life safety, state program, permanent improvement or other priorities.
"We are very happy to once again offer financial assistance needed to create quality learning environments that are Second to None," said State Superintendent of Education Glenn W. McGee. "The overwhelming participation in this program further illustrates the tremendous need for infrastructure work in our schools," McGee added.
In FY 2001, approximately 1,670 applications were received representing 860 districts, including Chicago Public Schools District #299. Chicago Public Schools District #299 receives 20% of the total grants awarded. Each district that applied will receive at least one maintenance grant, with the remaining funds to finance a second round of projects in several districts submitting more than one application. The program will be funded with a $73 million appropriation.
For a complete list of school districts receiving awards, please call the Governor's press office at 217/782-7355 or the Illinois State Board of Education at 217/782-4648 or please visit the state of Illinois web site at www.state.il.us.

The Desertview Pro Rodeo is slated to come to town July 28, 29 and 30 at the rodeo arena in Castle Dale beginning at 7:30 p.m. The three day event will be jam packed with cowboys and cowgirls from all over the country competing for big money purses.
The rodeo committee is excited to welcome Dwayne Hargo to the long list of outstanding comedy barrelman. Hargo will offer cowboy protection as well as entertaining fans with hysterical comedy acts. Don't miss the miniature car routine and explosive actions of this extreme vehicle. The speciality act this year will be Jerry Wayne Olson and one of the highlights of his act is his performance with a miniature horse.
The Castle Valley Ranch colt giveaway is back for the fourth year. During the rodeo on Thursday the Castle Valley Ranch colt giveaway will make a proud horse owner of the lucky ticket holder. A winner will be drawn from all of the rodeo ticket stubs to the Thursday night event.
Each night of the rodeo will feature the Wild Cow Milking event. Local cowboys compete for prize money and all around belt buckles for the overall champions. This is Emery County's truly extreme, unique event. Don't miss this event because you will be entertained to the max with this wild action.
The rodeo begins at 7:30 p.m. each evening under the Emery County blue skies. An added bonus this year is the new portable bleachers which will add 500 seats to the seating capacity of the rodeo. This added seating will make the standing room only event more friendly to rodeo goers.
Ike Sankey will provide the rodeo stock for the event. Sankey is known far and wide for his rodeo animals who know their job and perform it well. His stock is used every year at the National Rodeo Finals held in Las Vegas.
The Desertview Pro Rodeo has grown larger over the last six years due to increases in added money and better support from fans. Along with this growth and recognition comes more nationally ranked cowboys and cowgirls. This year is no exception with more than one third of the entrants coming from outside the state of Utah and from Canada.
Three new up and coming bullriders from the state of Utah will try their luck with a bull in the Castle Dale Arena. Steve Woolsey from Spanish Fork is currently ranked sixth in the world and Wesley Silcox, from Payson is ranked seventh in the world. If things continue well for these riders they are on the road to the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas in December. Jerry Shepherd from Nephi was ranked number nine in 2004 in bull riding and he took home $128, 248.70 in winnings and he will make the trip to Castle Dale.
Dustin Larsen from Manila is 29th in the world and working his way down to the top 15 bull riders in the nation.
A former Desertview Pro Rodeo calf roping champ who has been here three to four years, as he has risen through the ranks will be here again, Matt Shiozawa from Chubbock, Idaho is ranked fourth in the world in calf roping.
There are 12 or more cowboys and cowgirls in various events that are world ranked and will put on a great show for local crowds beginning Thursday.
There will be no shortage of local cowboys as Carson Grimm from Cleveland will ride a bull. Monte Jensen from Price will participate in calf roping. Will Payne from Cleveland will enter the bull riding category along with Carl Sherman, Huntington and James Sherman, Cleveland.
Returning to the arena where he holds the calf roping record will be calf roping champ, Justin Truman of Huntington. As a Desertview Pro Rodeo champ his record is 8.4 seconds.
Jake Hannum from Ogden is also ranked number 13 in calf roping and will be part of this year's rodeo.
The Pro Rodeo committee said, "It is a solid rodeo from top to bottom."
There is a huge surprise event to take place at the rodeo this year and you'll have to show up to find out the secret at 7:30 p.m. sharp at the Thursday rodeo. The Castle Valley lamb fry precedes the rodeo each night with authentic Emery County lamb for the main course.
Come and spend a night dining on a local favorite and watching the best rodeo action around.
This rodeo has something for everyone and even if you don't think you're a rodeo fan, you will be after a night spent at the Desertview Pro Rodeo.

Posted on 01/10/2012 3:09:07 AM PST by Libloather
Outgoing Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour under fire after pardoning 4 killers
msnbc.com staff and news service reports
updated 1 hour 27 minutes ago
JACKSON, Miss. Outgoing Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour has pardoned at least four convicted killers who worked at the Governor's Mansion, including a man who was denied parole less than two weeks ago.
Relatives of three victims told The Associated Press on Monday that state corrections officials notified them over the weekend that the convicts were to be released this past Sunday. Barbour, a former chairman of the Republican National Committee who weighed a presidential run last year before deciding against it, leaves office on Tuesday.
(Excerpt) Read more at msnbc.msn.com ...
Well... this is certainly odd. All of the murderers worked at the Governor's Mansion thus they get a pardon because they were "good workers". I guess the people they murdered weren't "good workers?"
Why would they have murderers working at the Governor's mansion anyway? There are any embezzlers or white collar thieves in their jails?
3 are murderers. The 4th is 'merely' a repeat burglar according to the article.
2 of the killers murdered their wives. The 3rd murdered a man during a robbery.
1 of the wife killers shot her while she was holding their baby and also shot her friend in the head (he lived). He then left the kid there lying on top of it's dead mother. He was just denied parole.
The other wife killer shot her in the back in public after an argument (he left and came back with a gun).
The crimes happened in the early 90's. Just 20 years for 2 first degree murders.
It's on Haley if any of these "diligent workman" hurt anyone else.
It's weird. If it were up to me all 3 would have got the needle.
Sad thing to see a losing governor throw such a reckless temper tantrum.
"... any embezzlers or white collar thieves in their jail".
I am guessing that the Governors Mansion already had plenty of those... Maybe he wanted some "diversity" so he chose cold blooded killers. (/s tag...)
For those who support FR, click here to show it!
There is money involved somewhere.
Remember your man Barbour and how great you said he was?
Haley obviously is not going to run for any kind of political job again.
I think this is outragous to let any murderer back out on the streets......... But, I have to correct you.. he did not lose, he did not run this time...he could not run again...he served his two terms.
Ah, I see.
But it still would appear to be some form of tantrum, an act of defiance against the social norms "just because".
Didn't AR's Huck do things like this two? Must be the MO of the adjacent states
What is it about our southern governors: Haley of SC, now Haley of MS? They are just too "compassionate" and probably trying to snare uninformed Democrats to their side.
He didn't lose he was termed out!
Already answered and replied. Why don't you read before posting?
Read down thread, already pointed out.
Sheesh, I just did it too.
Is it Monday on a Tuesday?
A mistake of inconceivable proportions.
Of course if he had done this during and election, probably not...
The condition is known as "Huckabitis."
There are any embezzlers or white collar thieves in their jails?
No. They all hold elected office.
embezzlers or white collar thieves in their jails?...That might mean the crooks are getting into the pol's turf.
It sounds like the people (probably Democrats) who assign convicts to work in the Governor's Mansion were trying to plant a time bomb for Barbour who was contemplating a run for the presidency. Either release murderers or break a decades-long tradition.
Huckabee granted clemency to Maurice Clemmons who later was charged with the rape of a child AND the execution of four Washington State Police Officers. I am praying that this clemency doesn't result in the same. I'm not saying all clemencies are wrong... they should be done very sparingly with thought of the case/and the impact upon society. IMHO.
Got me by 5 seconds, cause I dribbled my beer.
If he felt as though they'd done enough time, why not commute their sentences? I don't understand the pardons
I would have thought he'd be too busy stumping for Romney to have time to pardon anyone. /s
Let me guess -— did he also endorse Milt?
If you think this is bad, I all ready feel sick thinking of what Obama will do on his last days in office.
I think the governor thought he was being gracious to his "nice" workers. I'm sure he never consulted the victims' loved ones, nor even met them.
Reminds me of earlier cases of the Catholic bishops who were initially "nice" to the sex abuse perpetrators, sending them to therapy and maybe to a monastery or to Rome for some classes. They had no perspective on how unjust this would be to the victims, because they had no personal acquaintance with the victims. They thought they were being merciful, open-minded, to troubled employees/brethren.
Abuse of power comes in different flavors. I'm sure the Governor thought he had the best motives. That doesn't make it any less of a travesty.
I used to know the wife of a parole attorney. Many times his clients were denied parole, despite exemplary turn-arounds in their lives and behavior. The board would say that the person simply hadn't served enough time. Despite the real and undeniable change of heart, and low likelihood of re-offense, justice was served by making the prisoner do his time.
It's at least the second Monday this week. Already.
How's Sarah Palin's candidacy going for you asshat?
She's doing better than Barbour.
The point, asshat, is that you apparently have nothing better to do than try to pick fights based on old threads. I tried going back a little ways to see who you have supported in the past but you post so much day and night that apparently you have no life. Do you eat and crap in that chair also? Well, I work for a living. See ya later asshat.
When he was head of the republican party he was one that took on the media CNN was the only 24 hour channel and the net works and called them on their crap...sorry to hear he did this...My niece lives in Mississippi and said he was a good governor...During Katrina you didn't hear Mississippi shouting junk like they did in Louisiana...she said he just dug in and did what had to be done..Maybe its time for him to retire completely from politics...
We'll probably go for a third one before the week is out.
Shades of former Tennessee Governor Ray Blanton.
"The point, asshat, is that you apparently have nothing better to do than try to pick fights based on old threads."
Timber Rattler = virginia ridgerunner.
That's what is going on there.
Check VR's history to see if you crossed swords with them before..
Unfortunately Governor Barbour, there won't be any take backs for future victims of those killers you just released.
Charles Hooker, sentenced to life in 1992 in Coahoma County for the murder of Walter Johnson, the principal at a Clarksdale high school where Hooker was a teacher.
Tammy ellis gatlin filed for divorce. David Gatlin rented a car in Georgia, traveled to Mississippi, and spent the night in a motel in the Jackson area. He bought fireworks and stalked Tammy and followed Randy walker to his home. Randy was a family friend. Gatlin then went to the home of Randy Walker asked to use a phone. Randy Walker said he didn't have a phone. David gatlin said he would give him the fireworks for some change to use a pay phone. He pulled out the gun and Randy thought he was being robbed. Randy didn't know it was Tammy's husband. David said he wanted to go in the back of the home. Randy said no he didn't. Tammy was back room with the baby. David Gatlin shot Tammy while she was holding the baby and he shot Randy in the head, but Randy lived.
Joseph Ozment was sentenced to life in 1994 for the slaying of store clerk Ricky Montgomery. The robbery happened with several other men.
One of the robbers shot Ricky Montgomery three times. He was crawling toward Joseph Ozment for help. He didn't know Joseph Ozment was involved. Joseph Ozment put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger twice.
Anthony McCray, sentenced to life in 2001 in Pike County for the murder of his wife, Jennifer McCray, whom he shot in the back.
Barbour's first pardon, in 2008, was of Paul Joseph Warnock, who was convicted in 1993 in Warren County for killing Carol Ann Hall, his 18-year-old girlfriend, while she slept in his bed at his parents' house.
In 2008, Barbour pardoned Bobby Hays Clark, convicted in 1996 in Panola County of manslaughter, aggravated assault and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon. Clark shot his ex-girlfriend in the neck and beat her new boyfriend with a broom handle, according to the Sun Herald.
Clarence Jones, convicted in 1992 in Warren County of the murder of his ex-girlfriend, 22-year-old Carla M. Smith, whom he stabbed 22 times
Michael Graham was serving life for stalking and killing his ex-wife, Adrienne Klasky. In 1989, he pulled up next to her car while she was stopped at an intersection in downtown Pascagoula and shot her in the head. Barbour suspended his sentence in 2008.

The Well Project is a non-profit organization whose mission is to change the course of the HIV/AIDS pandemic through a unique and comprehensive focus on women and girls. The Well Project advocates that every woman and girl should have access to quality, up-to-date information about HIV/AIDS.
History of The Well Project
The Well Project was founded by Dawn Averitt and her brother Richard Averitt in 2002. Dawn was diagnosed with HIV in 1988 at the age of 19 and has since become one of the nation's most prominent HIV/AIDS treatment advocates. When Dawn learned she had HIV, she quickly "realized there was nothing out there for women, certainly nothing on treatment." Moreover, her doctor told her "not to read anything because there was a lot of bad information out there about HIV and AIDS." Initially a U.S.-based resource seeking to fill this gap, The Well Project's award-winning web portal now attracts more than 1.3 million unique visitors each year from all over the world.
The Well Project is a global hub for resources that help women and girls overcome the inequalities, barriers, and stigma that contribute to the epidemic among women. The Well Project focuses on three critical gaps related to women and HIV: information access, community support, and targeted research.
For more information on each of The Well Project's focus areas, please read below. To find out more about why we develop resources specifically for women and girls, please see our Why Women page.
Information Access
The Well Project develops and provides information that has been shown to increase women's engagement with providers and healthcare, improve their health outcomes, and enhance their quality of life. Our web portal provides easy-to-understand, accurate, current information on HIV/AIDS for women and girls, including more than 150 articles covering medical, personal, and cultural topics related to HIV-positive and negative women and girls. In order to ensure that this valuable content reaches women worldwide, we are exponentially expanding our reach by providing broader access to web content and improved social connectivity. Our mobile application also serves this growing global constituency, which relies increasingly on mobile phones or tablets to access information.
Community Support
The Well Project offers community support and advocacy development initiatives to address stigma, discrimination, and the need for enhanced leadership for women and girls living with HIV across the globe. The A Girl Like Me blog is a unique support community that enables women and girls with HIV to share their stories and experiences in a safe place. The blog currently features more than 20 active contributors who share their diverse experiences from the United States, South Africa, India, Uganda, Nigeria, Namibia, and the United Kingdom. Through these efforts, The Well Project connects women and girls to information and each other, thus fostering active engagement and strengthening communities. In addition, our new website offers visitors many ways to connect with each other including instant chat, forums, groups and more. (To learn more about these features, please visit Get Connected and read through the Overview/FAQs that explains the benefits of joining as a member and how to use the new features.
Targeted Research
The Well Project established the Women's Research Initiative on HIV/AIDS (WRI) in 2003 to elevate, enhance, and expedite HIV treatment and prevention research on women and girls and identify gaps in clinical care and research. The WRI's annual meeting brings together more than 75 of the nation's most esteemed HIV/AIDS thought leaders representing clinical care, research, academia, advocacy, government, the pharmaceutical industry, and women living with HIV. Over the past decade, the WRI has been responsible for initiatives that have directly impacted the progress and direction of HIV research.
Together, The Well Project's efforts act as a potent force against the ignorance and stigma surrounding HIV. Together, we can change the course of the HIV epidemic...one woman at a time.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Chapter 16
The Lord chooses David of Bethlehem as king—He is anointed by Samuel—Saul chooses David as his companion and armor bearer.
1 And the Lord said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to
2 And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. And the Lord said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the Lord.
3 And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will shew thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt

5 And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice unto the Lord:

8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the Lord chosen this.
9 Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the Lord chosen this.
10 Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The Lord hath not chosen these.
11 And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither.

Using a large hand-collected dataset from 2001 to 2006, we find that activist hedge funds in the U.S. propose strategic, operational, and financial remedies and attain success or partial success in two thirds of the cases. Hedge funds seldom seek control and in most cases are nonconfrontational. The abnormal return around the announcement of activism is approximately 7%, with no reversal during the subsequent year. Target firms experience increases in payout, operating performance, and higher CEO turnover after activism. Our analysis provides important new evidence on the mechanisms and effects of informed shareholder monitoring.
