Skip to comments.Murtha remains the king of pork: His pet projects draw $150 million, put him atop list
Posted on 08/04/2007 12:50:01 PM PDT by jazusamo
WASHINGTON -- Pennsylvania's Rep. John Murtha is still the king of the earmark.
The Johnstown Democrat has snagged more than $150 million in pet projects in the massive 2008 defense appropriations bill, putting him ahead of all 434 other House members, according to an analysis this week from Taxpayers for Common Sense, or TCS, a watchdog group.
Mr. Murtha's ascent is not surprising. When his party won control of Congress last year, Mr. Murtha, one of the most senior members, again became chairman of the House's powerful panel on defense spending.
But Democratic leaders have called for a 50 percent reduction in earmarks this year, in keeping with their campaign promise to clean up a process that has become tainted by rapidly growing spending and several high-profile scandals, including the imprisonment of Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham, a California lawmaker who was convicted of bribery.
For the first time, House members are required to certify that they have no financial interest in the earmarks they sponsor through public letters to the appropriations committee. Also, the committee has released a report pairing sponsors with their earmarks.
The House is considering a $459.6 billion defense spending bill for the upcoming fiscal year, containing 1,337 earmarks with a price tag of about $3 billion.
Mr. Murtha is the recipient of 48 earmarks worth $150.5 million. Last year, his earmarks were valued at about $80 million to $100 million, said Steve Ellis, a vice president for TCS.
The increase may follow the change in Mr. Murtha's power status, but it also comes as other members are seeing a cut in their share of the earmark pie.
"He certainly wasn't sharing the pain," Mr. Ellis said. "There were the little people, and then there was Chairman Murtha."
TCS and other watchdog groups don't object to all...
(Excerpt) Read more at post-gazette.com ...
These kind of earmarks are why no money is being spent on infrastructure (ie. bridges)
To be added to the Murtha Watch ping list please notify myself or RedRover.
I hope Ms Irey kicks his fat ass next time.
$150,000,000—think of the bridges we could fix....
You and me both! I hope she runs again.
more than $150 million in pet projects : Lots of bridges ?
Yep...That's a lot of money for pet projects, disgraceful!
Hmmm, this could get interesting.
I wonder if Diana Irey wil run against Murtha in 08?
Murtha was one of only eight in the House to vote against the Ethics bill, you're right, it'll get interesting. He's going to have to figure a new way to hide his corruption.
Too late ... the damage has been done and the fat one has been busy all this time cementing his creds and ordering cement.
There has been indications that she may not, we'll just have to wait and see I guess.
Huh? al-Murthawi spends his money on infrastructure!
What a scum bag. My opinion of him continues to get worse.
I love that pic of murthawi's road to nowhere, it befits him. He's a nowhere!
I wonder if he is still in the business of getting kick-backs for delivering votes and power.........scannell
No doubt in my mind. He did it for over thirty years, I'm sure he won't stop now.
Great pic of Diana, Smooth.
Justa streaked through here so fast she forgaot to say hi. I was hoping for a reunion. :-)
1. It comes in dollar coins, and...
2. He eats them all.
Me too! I'd help him by using a plumbers friend to get 'em down his throat.
Justa was streaking? And I missed it???
He's a nowhere!
Amen to that, my friend!
Hope y'all are doing well. I miss ya! I'm hoping things slow down in November!
Ahhhhh, remember that day well! *sigh*
LOL! Lucky you!!! ;*)
Yeah, dang it, I missed it too. FRiend Justa is too quick for all of us.
All's well out here on the left coast. We've missed you too!
We'll make things slow down to get you back here posting.
What a pal! Shall I send you my list! ;*)
Murtha has given the GOP more than enough ammunition to use against him yet the leadership has no gonads to conduct a campaign to expose his corruption. Why?
Murtha Says its Time to Bring Our Murdering Scum Home
Rep. John Murtha (D-Penn.), a leading Iraq War critic said hes pushing legislation that would order U.S. troop withdrawals to begin in the Fall and predicted Republicans will support it. As Ive been saying for some time, the troops deployed in Iraq have shown themselves to be murdering scum, Murtha asserted. Keeping them there only serves to perpetuate the slaughter and atrocities.
Under Murthas plan, troop withdrawals would start in November 2007 and take about a year to complete. A vote on Rep. John Murtha's proposal likely will come in September, after Iraq commander Gen. David Petraeus is expected to deliver a promised assessment on the war.
The House passed a similar proposal a few months ago, but President Bush vetoed it. But Murtha said he predicts this vote will be different because of polls indicating mounting voter frustration with the war. It doesnt really matter what Patraeus has to say, Murtha added. We all know this war is lost. The polls confirm it. Its time to cut our losses.
Bush has insisted that US troops need to remain engaged in Iraq to fight al-Qaeda and has repeatedly appealed to lawmakers for more patience. However, Murtha says his bill will be the presidents final chance to escape judgment. If the president wont agree to the withdrawal we will have to move House Resolution 333, Murtha said. HR 333 is the impeachment resolution sponsored by presidential candidate Representative Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio).

August, 1 on another thread freema asked you if that was an actual quote by Murtha and you didn't reply. I would like to know also and if so can you give a link?
Have you seen this ?
There are several interesting comments if you scroll down :
Thanks for the link, George.
Like one of the posters said there and I agree, I hate murtha but I find it hard to believe he said that.
I also don't like anyone posting this kind of thing on a thread I posted unless they can back it up. Hopefully Semmens can.
I thought the guy was more of a satirist. Are we supposed to take this seriously? Murtha's said some pretty disgusting things, but he always gets tons and tons of fawning press coverage when bashes the troops, so I think someone else would've heard this by now.
Yeah, I just sent the poster a FReepmail asking if it is satire. If it is, I don't appreciate it being posted on a serious thread.
It is reasonable for us to expect a response to a serious question from a serious person.
Either there is a link or there is not.
Missing one ping is understandable.
A repeated 'hit and run' author on multiple web sites and after repeated requests by different people tends to lead one to an obvious conclusion.
I just checked his history and it's satire. I'd never heard of him, not real funny, IMO.
It is a satire based on reality.
I really believe we need to make being a senator or congressman a true servant of the people but without perks or special interest etc. They are not going to leave the big tit of the US government and lobbyist which in my opinion should be considered illegal, I see it as blackmail.
I agree we the people of the US need to demand more of where our tax money is going, that is the problem many Americans do not.
I just returned from Johnstown Pa and you should see the pork Mertha has brought to Johnstown. It's no wonder the people keep electing him to office. There are building, bridges, office buildings named after him and even one medical building named after his wife.
My feeling is that Murtha and the Pennsylvania GOP have learned to get along over the many years he's been a congressman. The state GOP didn't lift a finger to support Diana Irey in 06. Guess they figure Murtha is congressman for life so why bother?
You're exactly right, they keep reelecting him because of his pork.
Last year during his reelection campaign against Diana Irey there was a video played here of a newsman interviewing murtha voters. Each one of them after being asked if they knew certain things about him said no but they'd still vote for him.
The questions were about derogatory remarks about our military, corruption and other bad things. It was evident they didn't care about the bad stuff because he brings home the pork.
Dagnabbit! I missed her again!

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
Vandalism was a hot topic at the Huntington City Council August meeting. Two parks have felt the effects of wanton acts of vandalism this past month. At the Huntington City Park, youth built a fire on top of a picnic table while at the Memorial Park by the cemetery, people went and broke all the lights at the park.
The youth at the city park were stopped by a local resident who called the sheriff's office and then held the kids until deputies arrived. The city sent the resident a thank you card to the resident for their assistance.
The council also voted to hire a part-time employee that will work primarily at the dumpster site.For the past month, Huntington conducted a survey with close to 130 residents responding to that survey. Eighty six percent of those residents were in favor of raising the city utility bill by up to $2 to cover the cost of that employee.
The dumpster site has been a great asset for the city's residents when they want to do a good clean up. It has been a good asset for the city because it has taken much junk, trash, garbage out of the city and made it easier for residents to keep their property clean.
In other business, Councilman Travis Larsen reported that the reservoirs are basically still full and that the city will not have any water issues this season. The city is looking at extending the length of time that water stays in the secondary lines to coincide with the burn season. Larsen also reported that the new fire station project is started.

Flames 2012 First Round Targets: Teuvo Teravainen
Kent Wilson
June 19 2012 01:57PM
One of the most intriguing late risers on many consensus lists this year is the diminutive Finnish forward Teuvo Teravainen. His ascension to a probable top-10 pick is not only surprising because he wasn't really on many radars a couple of years ago, but also because at 5'11" and just 165 pounds, he's well below the typical size threshold applied to high-end prospects.
When I looked into Markus Granlund's standing in SM-liiga scoring amongst teenagers, Teravainen's name was one that immediately stood out: with 11 goals and 18 points in 40 games, he had the 7th highest point-per-game rate for teens in Finland last season. He jumps to second on the list when we limit ourselves to guys 17 and younger - only the highly regarded Aleksandr Barkov scored at a (slightly) higher rate than Teravainen in that sample in the SM-liiga last season.
So Teravainen is little, but his results in a pro league as a youngster are legitimate. He boasts a 1994 birthday so he's kid who has a few years of growth ahead of him as well.
The Scouting Report
To get a clearer perspective on the player, I contacted SM-liiga editor and eliteprospects.com writer Matias Strozyk who previously helped us to better understand Markus Granlund.
Kent Wilson: Teuvo Teravainan's stock has risen rapidly across every major consensus draft list over the last calender year or so. What made him such a rapid riser? How did he manage to "come out of nowhere" to become a top-10 talent?
Matias Strozyk: His talent was visible a couple of years ago but I couldn't have imagined him becoming a top 10 prospect. Even a year ago I would have placed him somewhere in the 2nd round.
Teräväinen was the big surprise of 2011 and certainly didn't look like a rookie. Jokerit gave him a reasonable offensive role and solid linemates in Riku Hahl and Jani Rita - both of whom gave balance to Teräväinen's offensive capabilities with their defensive skills. He also got some time in the 1st line with Ben Eaves and Ilari Filppula, a line stacked with offensive talent, and was a regular on their powerplay - not bad for a 17-year-old in a championship contender, especially with the roster that Jokerit had.
KW: When we discussed Markus Granlund previously, I noted that Teravainen was one of the highest scoring teens in the SM-liiga. Where would you rank him amongst undrafted youngsters in Finland? Where would you rank him amongst all teens (drafted or otherwise) in Finland?
MS: Teräväinen might well get picked earlier than Finland's top prospect Mikael Granlund was, but it's hard to say how they match up against each other - in the 2012 playoffs, Teräväinen pretty much wiped the floor with Granlund, but that's a whole other story.
Teräväinen has a better overall package than Granlund had two years ago and is a considerably better skater. Teräväinen is only a few days from being a part of next year's draft where Alexander Barkov, who is a year younger than him, will be a big name and a possible top 3 prospect. Offensively that's the top 3 for Finnish forwards with names like Joel Armia, Teemu Pulkkinen, Markus Granlund, Juuso Ikonen and Alexander Ruuttu a few steps behind.
KW: What are his main strengths? What would you guess his ultimate ceiling could be in the NHL?
MS: Teräväinen is a simply fantastic offensive talent. He can create chances out of nowhere but is also a pretty natural finisher. There's nothing he can't see on the ice and he's just as dangerous with his speed and excellent skating as leading the powerplay.
I want to be careful about mentioning someone like Pavel Datsyuk or make any comparisons so I'll just call Teräväinen the most exciting prospect from Jokerit since Teemu Selänne. He should be ready to make the move to North America after gaining some strength over the next couple of years and develop into a top 6 forward with reasonable scoring responsibility.
KW: The one knock I've seen against Teuvo is his size. Do you think that will be an issue for him in trying to translate his game in North America eventually?
MS: Bulking up is a sensitive subject since I don't want Teräväinen to make the same mistakes as Teemu Pulkkinen while trying to gain strength and end up losing some of his speed. He needs to be careful not to hurt his solid skating while developing his physique. That same speed and his hockey sense compensates a lot of his "lack" of strength as he's able to play his way out of trouble.
Right now I'd be more concerned about Mikael Granlund having the physique to stand up to North American contact than Teräväinen, but that depends on Teräväinen not falling behind in development. He certainly needs to fill his frame, but I don't think size will be a negative factor.
KW: Finally, where do you expect him to be picked in the upcoming draft?
MS: I think any team from the Islanders at #4 to the Wild at #9 is possible. Teräväinen's fast development the last six to eight months and his amazing offensive talent should solidify his spot somewhere in the top 10. I don't want to see him end up with the Islanders so Anaheim or Minnesota would be a nice destination. It would be easier for the Ducks to eventually let go of Selänne if his "heir" was available around 2015...
Probable Target?
Teravainen has a few question marks - his size and rapid ascent suggest some risk - but his results against men and the glowing scouting reports point to a potential high-end offensive talent. The Flames weren't afraid to take Markus Granlund in the second round last year and he had a pretty decent season in the same league (highest scoring teen outside of his brother MIkael) so I'm sure the Flames have had a few eyeballs on Teuvo this year.
Unfortunately, there's only an outside chance Teravainen will fall outside the top-10 because of concerns about his size. Even then, it's unlikely he'd make to the Flames at 14.
Probability he will be around by 14: Very low
Probability the Flames will (or would) pick him: High
The Targets List
- Teuvo Teravainen
- Hampus Lindholm
- Pontus Aberg
- Jacob Trouba
- Zemgus Girgensons
- Sebastian Collberg
- Radek Faksa

If only his ascension had started a bit later in the year & we could have stole him at 14.
Now if only we could identify which of the current 12-18 rated prospects has started a similiar ascension, albeit slightly later. hmmm.
Gone by #7?
June 19 2012, 03:51PM
@ Rex
Agreed. If the Ducks don't take him, I can't see the Wild passing on the chance to add to their growing arsenault of talented Finns.
TSN's April Mock draft had him taken by the Ducks at 6, but that draft also had Grigorenko taken at 3 so ... ? I think Reinhart replaces Grigorenko in top 5 & Teuvo sits roughly the same.
It really was a surprise to see Teravainen jump up so high in the rankings. He's been mentioned (and possibly profiled?) before and seemed like a good choice a la Mikael Granlund.
I get the whole "he's too small for the NHL argument", but once again, I will counter with only two words: Theoren. Fleury. Come on, he was small, told he wouldn't make the NHL, and had all sorts of personal issues. He wasn't doing cocaine when he was young so I'd like to think he had a lot of drive and talent. I mean, he DID score 50+ goals 2 or 3 times, 40+ several times, and 30+ in like 10 seasons.
Small =/= bad. Cammalleri is small, but I think it's his own personality and playing style that keeps him from hitting a lot. He's a fairly high-level sniper. Marty St. Louis is crazy small - Chara's elbows just whiff his head as he skates by and dishes Stamkos the puck. Fleury was all sorts of good on the ice.
Plus, if a smaller player needed some height, I wouldn't put it past Feaster to give that player some robot legs. At least they would keep them moving on the ice...
Also: interesting to see him compare himself to Filppula. Not that Filppula is necessarily a bad player, but he has played alongside Zetterberg most of this year (I'm sure) and last year (somewhat sure). His numbers are inflated somewhat I think. Not someone I would take at #6, or maybe even #14. Now, if he's more like Datsyuk (one of the players he watches/emulates), then you have a dilemma.
With all that, I doubt he's around at 14. Ducks or Wild will definitely pick him up if Grigorenko et al. are gone.
Also, according to Bob McKenzie's Twitter, Bobby Ryan is available once again.
If Feaster wants to go hunting for the white whale again, he had better be the front runner for Bobby Ryan (at least in terms of courtship). Ryan plays both wings and hasn't been badly injured like Parise. Granted, he plays significantly more in the offensive zone (which he rightfully should be doing), but if you had one line with Tanguay-Cammy-Iginla and one line with GlenX-Cervenka/Backlund-Ryan, that wouldn't be half bad.
As well, Erik Karlsson signs for $6.5M per year for 7 years. Huge contract, good for the kid. I wonder if this sets an unspoken precedent for $6.5M defencemen - is Bouwmeester still moveable, or will GMs expect more offense for the price tag?
Great work Kent. Unfortunately, all of the hype surrounding Teravainen will likely keep him from dropping to 14. Time will tell if that hype is warranted but he certainly has an enticing skill set. Olli Määttä next?
Great work Kent. Unfortunately, all of the hype surrounding Teravainen will likely keep him from dropping to 14. Time will tell if that hype is warranted but he certainly has an enticing skill set. Olli Määttä next?
The good news is his ascension will bump somebody into our range.
You guys see Button and McGuire's mock draft?
All that needs to be said about how "clued in" they are is one phrase: Grigorenko at 17.
June 20 2012, 04:00AM
He'll be long gone, by the time 14 comes along. I just hope McGuire and Button are right, for once in their lives and Grigorenko falls off the radar. That would be sweet.
Me too! If Grigorenko is available at 14 Feaster will crush Usian Bolt's world records trying to get up to that podium.
June 20 2012, 12:32PM
Ed Ward
If that's the case...Get the f*** outa his (Feaster's) way.

Not as good as it looks
"I think these shoes look so sexy on the screen. But they are not at all. I ordered a BLACK, SIZE 11. The material looks cheap. The shoes feel flimsy, and even for a person with a wide foot, the fit of the shoe is too wide at the mouth, taking away much from the sexiness of the shoes. I kept these only because I was desperate and didn't have time to continue my search. So I showed them to my coworker and then showed her the picture online and she agreed, in person the shoes are a lackluster version of their on screen images."

Comfortable for the height
"This is the second pair of Mrkt shoes I've bought--both are quite comfortable even while being quite tall. But it's easy to tell they're not made with the best craftsmanship.The first pair I bought were suede sandal platforms and the shoes literally fell to pieces after not much wear. That made me hesitant to buy these--but for the bargain sale price, it's worth a few nights out."

The British Standard also calls for metric threads, but only the 18mm and 14mm variants (which are preferred for new applications according to the SAE).
About 50 years ago there was a push to go metric in the US but certain political factions opposed. There was also a push to go with alternative energy about about 40 years ago but the same political factions opposed.

Seems to me that the USA cig lighter accessories didn't fit the euro cars sockets too well at times-perhaps there were "bastard sized ones" in use?
Stupid typically wins in business when it provides the maximum near term profits. Accordingly, running the same old machine using the lowest cost import parts is the cheapest way to bring product to the market. When the old machine finally dies, hopefully, some foreign company will provide the spiffy new high tech replacement, because the domestic suppliers disappeared, long ago. And, I mean a real domestic supplier, not someone with the rights to a nameplate and foreign production and design facilities.
Relative to Caterpiller, it's an internationally diversified manufacturer.....it tailors product to individual markets and shifts production based on exchange rates.

I doubt most would consider that political- more like a statement of fact re what history has concluded about Mr. Carter as president though he has surely done some superb thing since then (eg Habitat, election monitoring, etc)
Actually, he did one thing that has made a number of our members here happy- he signed the bills that made homebrewing of beer legal in the US, which turned out to be a substantial driver of microbrews that have led to more beer variety for consumers...

From shopping to beauty treatments, women want more of the good things in life. However, in a recent survey we found that many ladies aren't pampering themselves during these difficult economic times, especially when it comes to buying new clothing and getting beauty treatments. With so many women cutting back on life's little luxuries, it's no wonder that survey results indicate that most women would like to be surprised with such enjoyable, pampering gifts.
We have responded to these results by giving women a number of opportunities to indulge in more of these luxuries:
First, we launched our new No Panty Line Promise® Luxe collection. These styles offer a lavish thread count and the line-free-confidence of our No Panty Line Promise® collection. Indulge in the luxurious fabric of our No Panty Line Promise® Luxe collection for ultimate comfort every day, at a cost you can afford..
Next, we will be kicking off our nationwide "Random Acts of Luxe" campaign by hitting the streets. We will be dropping into spas across the country and covering the costs of spa treatments for all lucky spa-goers present at the time. We will also be giving each of them a pair of free Jockey® No Panty Line Promise® Luxe underwear. Our planned city stops include Boston, Chicago, Denver, Miami and San Francisco. We will also be stopping at a sixth city, and YOU can choose our destination. Visit our facebook page and post a comment on our wall telling us which city (and spa) you think we should add to our list and why. Then between September 23rd and September 30th, take part in our Facebook poll where we will take the top responses from our fans and ask you to vote for the winning sixth city. Our spa visits will take place between October 18th and October 29th.
Finally, we will be giving away the ultimate pampering experience to one luck winner: A Spa Vacation for two at renowned Canyon Ranch®, located in Tucson, Ariz. And Lenox, Mass. You can enter for a chance to win this four-night spa getaway anytime between now and October 31st. (Register here).
"Every woman deserves to be pampered but we know they can't always afford to do so," said Sally Tomkins, senior vice president of Design, Research and Development at Jockey. "With the introduction of Jockey® No Panty Line Promise® Luxe and the Random Acts campaign, we really wanted to give women a special treat by adding a little luxury – and a few big surprises – to everyday life."

Skip to comments.School apologizes for burning New Testament
Posted on 12/24/2001 4:49:53 PM PST by dlt
BEIT SHEMESH (December 25) - The organization that administers Orot school in Beit Shemesh issued an apology yesterday for publicly burning a copy of the New Testament a student received from Christian missionaries.
"Everybody knows we made a mistake," said Jordana Klein, spokeswoman for Sha'alei Torah. "We wouldn't do it again. We don't think it's the right thing to do."
The book-burning took place in the school courtyard the week before Hanukka, after a teacher in the boys' school found that one of his sixth-grade students had brought in a Hebrew copy of the New Testament.
The student received it from local missionaries who, according to Klein, have been active in proselytizing Beit Shemesh children.
"The teacher said: 'God sent it and He gave us the privilege, and we'll be able to burn the New Testament," said Ariel Lesnick, 11, who is in the class.
The teacher consulted with the principal, Rabbi Yair Bachar, said Klein. After receiving approval, the teacher - whose name Klein refused to divulge - took his class outside.
Then, Lesnick said, "We took a few sticks and we burnt it." The teacher emphasized that the book-burning was an anti-missionary activity and not an anti-Christian one, Lesnick said.
After receiving calls from angry parents, Bachar reconsidered the decision, which Klein described as "too hasty." He consulted rabbinic authorities on the issue and decided to appoint Rabbi David Spector - rabbi of the Givat Sharet neighborhood of Beit Shemesh - as a permanent rabbinic decision-maker for the school.
Spector ruled that missionary material should be burned, but it is the sole responsibility of the owner to burn it and the burning should take place in private.
"It was appropriate to burn the New Testament in private," wrote Spector in his ruling. He cited traditional and modern rabbis, including Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, who wrote that he had burned missionary texts, which he called "books of incitement and brainwashing." Such burning is permissible even if the texts include the name of God, Spector said.
The teacher said that if missionary material were found in the school again, it would be thrown into the garbage rather than publicly burned, said Lesnick.
The Education Ministry was not aware of the incident, said spokeswoman Orit Reuveni.
"In principle, the ministry condemns book-burning as an educational act," she said. "We are not aware of this incident, but we will investigate the matter in depth."
Wayne Firestone, director of the Anti-Defamation League here, said the apology is a positive reaction to the school's "inappropriate" decision.
"The issue of conversion obviously is a sensitive one, and school officials are entitled to make requirements to try to protect their students from inappropriate materials entering the school," he said.
"At the same time, the symbolic and actual imagery of burning any books is really an inappropriate reaction to any offensive material. We're encouraged to hear that the school has issued an apology, and we hope that from the apology, they can send a better message to their own students about tolerance of other religions."
Since the burning, Bachar has addressed teachers, parents, and students - particularly the sixth-grade class - about the issue. He emphasized that the school is not against Christians but against Christian attempts to convert Jews, said Klein. The school is also planning programs to increase tolerance, she said.
The student who brought the New Testament in is not the only one missionaries have targeted. After the book-burning, one of the other students in the class said missionaries came to his home and hung a crucifix behind the mezuza, said Lesnick. The family told the missionary they didn't want the crucifix and returned it, he said.
"We obviously have a missionary problem," said Klein. "We weren't even aware of how big a problem it is in our school."
The students that missionaries approach are generally among the native Israelis and immigrants who make up about 40 percent of the student body and tend to live in old Beit Shemesh, said Klein. That section is poorer than the newer section populated mostly by Anglos, who comprise 60 percent of the student body.
The Anglo-Israeli divide may have contributed to a difference in the approach to burning the New Testament. Lesnick, whose family immigrated from New Jersey four years ago, saw that distinction among the boys in his class. "The Israelis thought it was the right thing to do, but for the Americans, you're used to seeing [non-Jews] every day, and you don't do that to somebody that's just a little different than you," he said.
His father, Marc, also noted the difference nationality may have made in the decision. The teacher, he said, is an Israeli who has never left the country. But as an American, he said, "This is not the type of education I want my kids to have. In America, they let you practice your religion, you let them practice their religion, and you kind of coexist."
Book-burning may also invoke different images for Anglos than for Israelis. "The idea of burning in general in our minds has to do with Kristallnacht and the KKK and so on," he said.
But once he brought the issue to the attention of the school, said Marc Lesnick, it "very quickly took the matter really seriously and dealt with it properly afterward."
Lesnick found out about the burning when Ariel came home from school. "My son got home from school that night, and he actually said to me, 'Dad, you know what we did today? Well, we burned the New Testament.' I said, 'You're joking,'" said Lesnick.
He discussed it with the teacher, and a few days later Bachar came to his home to talk about the incident. Lesnick is glad that they have told him they would "definitely not do this again."
Rev. Ray Lockhart, director of the Jerusalem-based Israel Trust of the Anglican Church, said burning the New Testament so publicly was "going over the top somewhat." Lockhart, whose organization focuses on ministry to the Jews, added that it's preferable to get a signed statement from parents before giving Christian scriptures to a minor.
"Clearly no Jewish person would want to see the Tanah being burnt, and would feel that whoever did it, it was an affront to their beliefs," he said.
But the school's apology, said Lockhart, mitigates the offense. "I think it shows that it's sometimes good to have second thoughts, and to recognize that we can all make mistakes in the way we make a response off the cuff without really thinking through all the implications."
I see. All Christians have to do is stop doing what makes them Christians and everything is cool.
Silence? Just shows you what our "friends" are teaching their children...in SCHOOL.
LOL. Said kinda like we might say, "We obviously have a drug problem." Good grief.
What a bunch of Clintonian weasel-words. I suppose the ministry does NOT condemn book-burning as an ADMINISTRATIVE act, or an HISTORIC act but only as an EDUCATIONAL act? Boy! That sure clears it up for me, yezzir! Some of those old Nazi tactics sure die hard, don't they?
So long as it's done in private, I presume.
Do you suppose a more responsible way to deal with it might be to compare the ten planks of the Manifesto and explain how communism IS affecting them. Even YOUNG kids can understand such loss of freedom. (If only teachers would do so).
This is what passes in our Episcopalian community as a forceful statement of principal.
Oh my! Its hard to tell the difference between the Taliban and Israel with this sort of law and logic in play. I have always been offended by a religious symbol (Star of David) on the side of police cars, tanks, fighter aircraft, and ambulances in Israel. Hell, democrats do this sort of thing in this country all the time. But at this crucial junction marking the safety and life of people around the world, one would think that any thinking person would be more interested in slowing the flames of hatred instead of fanning them.
Israel is indeed threatened, and has been since its inception. I am a Christian Yet I will always defend her. If some Jews become Christian along the way or some Christians become Jews along the way so what! This is not a religious war between Christians and Jews. What this is, is simply a need and a choice or each man on earth to find his/her own path through life. We are all only trying to raise families, live decent lives. Every really good Jew should be happy when someone among them finds the path to heaven.
Israel needs to back off with the religious police approach and spend more time and effort on (they already do) defending their right to exist. The hate groups in the Islamic factions need to be eliminated. This is where the real effort needs to be and where the real effort needs to be focused. Forget about some high school kid that might be reading the New Testament in the bathroom be happy it wasnt a Playboy.
Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas.
Good question. Seeing as how Communism is a religion of cult.
Gee whiz! Goebbels would be impressed with the "logic" in this rationalization.
Anyone doubts that a teacher in a Christian school wouldn't throw Jewish/Muslim or any other missionary material into the garbage?
Anyone doubts that a teacher in a Christian school wouldn't throw Jewish/Muslim or any other missionary material into the garbage?
We have some Jewish friends who came over tonight on Christmas Eve to pick up their son who had stayed playing with our son today and to share some Christmas cheer.
They have their son enrolled in a "home school" contract teacher arrangement that teaches out of the basement of the Episcopal Church.
They were going to take him to the school play and brought his costume which was a shepherd's garb. When I asked what the play was about, they said it was a Nativity play. Oy Vey! :-)
A possible difference is that the Taliban, or the Saudis, for that matter, would have destroyed the missionaries, not the book.
Are you talking about non Christian literature or non Christian MISSIONARY literature.. And was this a planned class, or a discussion that spontaneously happened because a child brought missionary literature to class?
You are setting up an argument which denies Christians their identity. The essence of Christianity is its missionary nature.
Keep in mind that a thousand other schools in Israel DIDN'T engage in this pinheaded garbage that day, and it was one of the students' parents who complained.
Uh. You are twisting the facts. The fact is that I quoted the part where he said that he will throw it in garbage, not burn it.
So what you are basically saying is that Christians won't drop it till everyone on the plant is a Christian? Is that the argument you are setting up?
That is probably why they said they were wrong, apologized, and set a process to avoid such mistakes in the future. Now when do you expect to see an apology from the Islamists massacring Christians in Indonesia on Christmas Eve?
What part of 'Go forth and teach all nations' do you not understand?
Oh, I understand everything perfectly... I just needed someone to confirm it for the sake of aesthetics of this particular thread.

Enraged mob attacks Jews for Jesus meeting By Aliza Arbeli, Ha'aretz Correspondent
A mob of several hundred ultra-Orthodox Jews besieged an old Arab structure in Be'er Sheva yesterday after a rumor spread in the city's synagogues that missionaries were baptizing Jewish children.
The Haredim stopped their prayers to go to the house, where they found about 40 people, including women and children, who are members of the messianic movement Jews for Jesus. The movement has met in the same building for 17 years.
Police Chief Superintendent Kobi Cohen, who headed the police force that arrived at the scene, said police rescued the trapped worshipers and escorted them past the singing and dancing demonstrators.
A messianic Jew who was in the area described the experience as terrifying. "A mob of men in black surrounded us and were shouting and throwing stones and they tried to jump over the fence. We were especially scared for the children. We're not missionaries. We are Jews just like those who want to kick us out. We all believe in the same god, but we also believe in love and tolerance," he said.
A few days ago in Kiryat Malachi, several dozen youths from a Chabad high school attacked an American couple whom they suspected were missionaries. The boys hurled stones at the house of the new immigrants, who moved to the city three months ago. The couple denied engaging in any missionary activity and said they belonged to a humanitarian organization based in Switzerland and came to Kiryat Malachi to work with Ethiopian immigrants.
Two weeks ago, a mob of ultra-Orthodox men attacked and ransacked an apartment rented by three Swiss Christian women they accused of conducting missionary activity in Jerusalem's ultra-Orthodox neighborhood of Mea She'arim. The women denied the accusations.
It is making news because it is so out of the ordinary. People do stupid things. Even Jews.
Read the article. Jews complained. Jews made it a story.
That being said. Yes, Jews object to be proselytized. Yes, they might act irrationally when they get fed up with unceasing proselytizing.
Where Christians insist that it is their duty, Jews must insist that they will resist. We can't always agree.
?? Who is the publisher?
?? What is this Hebrew N.T. called? Title?
?? What original source-language 'text' is it translated from?
?? Who are its authors, editors, translators, and illustrators?
?? When (year)(s) published? Versions? Houses?
?? Is it a Cult-perversion text and NOT Scripture!...?
?? Who? Which? 'Christian' groups 'support-endorse' this 'text'?
?? Who? Which? 'Christian' groups Actively DO NOT 'support-endorse' this 'text'?
BOTTOM LINE:: Maybe, this 'text' NEEDED TO BE BURNED!!!
Think it through..........there ARE MANY DECEIVERS & LIARS 'fooling' both Jewish peoples and Gentile peoples!!!
(Does this 'text' retain, 1st John 5:7......?)
If it doesn't have, 1st John 5:7.......o.k., burn it!!!
So are the fundamentalist Baptists...I should know, as I was raised in a family of them.
Attendance at Anglican Churches in England have been in decline for decades. Maybe they should be devoting more time ministering to Anglicans in England and less to Jews in Israel.
Were you brainwashed? Forced to marry at 13? Made to turn over all you possesions to your minister? What kind of cult are the fundamentalist Baptists?
A very good summary of the situation, Christians have a duty to tell the 'Good News' (Godspell, Gospel, Evangelize), which is English, Old English, and Anglicized Greek, for it, among others. No other person has a duty to be convinced, except in the most abstract sense of that term.
People have a right to be annoyed by missionaries, as most Christians are when Mormon or 7th Day Adventist missionaries arrive at the door. The Arab approach, which is to kill the missionaries, and anyone who converts, is unlikely to be adopted in Israel anytime soon, I believe (LOL)
'cult n 1: adherents of an exclusive system of religious beliefs and practices '--Source: WordNet ® 1.6, © 1997 Princeton University
Aren't we all members of a cult, by this definition.
LOL. No, I wasn't forced to marry at 13. But...like the Taliban...we were prohibited from seeing movies, no dancing, no playing cards, no listening to pop music, no skirts which were not at least 3 inches below the knees, no wearing pants (I'm female), prayers at least 3 times at day (mealtimes), etc. In general, the same rules and regulations which you will find at Bob Jones University.
I'm not saying this was horrible way to live, and I was actually joking about it being a cult, but it is not the way I choose to live today. Even my father now sees that these lifestyle rules have little to do with faith.
And maybe you could straighten me out on another little misconception ... kids in Christian schools, Sunday Schools and Bible Schools all study from the bible, which contains (part of) the Jewish part ... the Torah. But it seems that kids in Jewish school aren't even allowed to lay eyes on the Christian part. Oh, I forgot, the Christian part is heresy which deserves to be burned (but only in secret, of course).
Its passing strange to me that Christians can't get their minds all the way around the fact that Islam at least acknowledges Jesus as a key biblical figure, whereas Judeaism denies him altogether ...
Well, seeing how Christianity came out of Judaism, it would be kind of hard to teach Christianity without the Torah.
Its passing strange to me that Christians can't get their minds all the way around the fact that Islam at least acknowledges Jesus as a key biblical figure, whereas Judeaism denies him altogether ...
Let's start bashing Buddhists and Hindus too, for not acknowledging Jesus either.
And this is some sort of surprise to you? Islam is a heresy of both Judaism and Christianity, so it has to acknowledge the truth of it's sources. Judaism regards Christianity as a heresy of Judaism, when they acknowledge that much of a connection. They would no more honor Jesus than Christians honor Mohammed, nor should they, considering their beliefs.

WELLINGTON-Jon Richard Anast, age 65, passed away Feb. 20, 2012 at his home.
He was born Jan. 9, 1947 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Chris and Betty Louise Skinner Anast. Jon was raised in Granger, Utah where he earned his Eagle Scout with the great assistance of Merlon Latimer, who was a wonderful role model.
Jon was proud to serve his country for four years in the United States Coast Guard as a radioman. He completed his requirements of a Bachelor's degree in business from the University of Utah, specializing in accounting. Jon rose from a teller at Valley Bank to an officer of their headquarters. He moved to Price with Harrington and later worked for Northwest Pipeline Company. Jon was also a third party consultant for IBM. Over the years Jon bought and sold numerous small businesses in Price; The Business Den, Southeast Aluminum Company, SEACO Construction, Southeast Paint, T & A Sweeping, Southeast Piano Works, Anast Enterprises, 2 G Corp, and his last business venture Carbon Copy Center. During these years he had the support of two outstanding women, Sharon Stoddard Katsavrias in the early years and later Janel McDougald Anast.
Under extraordinary circumstances Jon reunited with his childhood sweetheart, Dr. Nancy Futrell, with whom he spent the best four years of his life. With her he enjoyed the finer things in life, and he respected her hard work and determination. She was truly the love of his life.
Jon was active in many civic and community projects throughout Carbon County. He was a member of the Carbon Country Club, Kiwanis, and Price Elk's Lodge # 1550. It is said a man's wealth is measured by the number of his close friends. If that is true Jon Anast is a truly wealthy man.
Jon was proud of his Greek heritage and was grateful to his mentors in the Greek Orthodox Church, including the Metropolitan Isaiah in his youth and Father Athanasios Emmert over the last 15 years. He considers Father Athanasios his spiritual father and admires his faith, determination and scholarly accomplishments.
Jon is survived by his wife, Nancy Futrell Anast; two sons and two daughters, Lance (Kelly) Anast, Laurie (Mike) Tryon, Tony (Kris) Anast, Melissa Anast; step-daughter, Michelle (Bert) Bruno; 10 grandchildren, Nicholas , Krisalyn, Ashley, Alex Jo, Makenzie, Alex, BreAnn, Ryann, and great-grandchild, Brynnlee; and his beloved brother, George (Joyce) Anast.
Preceded in death by his mother, Betty; father, Chris; and his brother Jeffrey Anast.
Funeral service, Friday, Feb. 24, 2012, 11 a.m., Assumption Greek Orthodox Church in Price. Trisagion service, Thursday evening 7 p.m., Mitchell Funeral Home (233 East Main Street) Price.

The game is definitely equipped with the right amount of action and your expectations, rooting from all the predecessors of Peace Walker, are definitely put to the test.
Super Gamer Dude
Sony PSP
If you have been an avid fan of the original PlayStation games and you are anything like me, I bet you'd say that Metal Gear Solid is one of your favorite games in the original PlayStation. In all likelihood, the Solid Snake's relationships, the movie-like presentation and the freaky and skilled enemies of the game have probably blown you off, too. It's indeed a very great structured game that make fans look out for more.
Konami and developer Kojami Productions is releasing Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker on PSP a month from now. It's the newest game in the Metal Gear Solid franchise. The game on PSP picks up from where Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops ended. The character you are playing is Naked Snake (the Big Boss) and you have just built a Militaires Sans Frontieres which is a group of perverse soldiers who are fighting battles for countries who couldn't fight for themselves. A little while into the game, a professor and a girl show up in front of your doorstep and they ask you to help them stop a CIA invasion in Costa Rica. After that, it's all up to the cardboard boxes and CQC that fans have known and loved.
Since the original and throughout all Metal Gear games the prominence of Solid has remained really quite insane. With the presence of patriots, virtual reality and a whole lot more, it's definitely a hard thing to do to follow and keep intact a simple story in place. Out of all the Metal Gear games, Peace Walker is equipped with the most comprehensible story. It goes with Snake knowing what the Boss is about to do, then the professor asking for help to remove the bad guys out of his town – the story just goes on and on and on. It's probable that you'd only take in at least half of what the story comprises, but as characters are being added and the mission develops, Peace Walker is able to keep up with the pace and also its plotline. You won't feel as lost anymore when the cutscenes become awesomely dramatic.
When under a mission, you can definitely say that this game stays true to its Metal Gear nature. You can carefully move the analog core in a direction to let Snake move that way. When you get at the back of an unwitting guard, you can hold the right shoulder button to take hold of him and then make him become your hostage or toss him to the ground. There's still the presence of exclamation points, alert phrases, and radio calls that you loved in previous presentations and probably expected from this franchise.
This game's story is furnished with amazing cutscenes and great voice work. Like what we've already seen before, the cutscenes are done through animated comic style. This is where an image holds still in a freeze-frame while actions and reactions get animated. It is just so brilliantly awesome, dude!
The game is definitely equipped with the right amount of action and your expectations, rooting from all the predecessors of Peace Walker, are definitely put to the test. Though it's still a month away, you may want to hold on to your seat now; but you have to be on the alert, because if you're not quick enough you might lose your copy of Metal Gear Solid's newest game as everybody's all geared up to grab their copy as well.

Why are Buyouts Levered? The Financial Structure of Private Equity Funds

Journal of Finance, Forthcoming
Private equity funds are important actors in the economy, yet there is little analysis explaining their financial structure. In our model the financial structure minimizes agency conflicts between fund managers and investors. Relative to financing each deal separately, raising a fund where the manager receives a fraction of aggregate excess returns reduces incentives to make bad investments. Efficiency is further improved by requiring funds to also use deal-by-deal debt financing, which becomes unavailable in states where internal discipline fails. Private equity investment becomes highly sensitive to economy-wide availability of credit and investments in bad states outperform investments in good states.

City Of Hermiston Warning Of Scam

text: Hi everyone, first time posting here. I've searched the forum as a non-member, but figure it's about time I jump on board as I start my quest for the perfect shave. First off, I've shaved before but for the most part I've always used the Gillette products....cartridges and canister gel. Sometimes I'd get a little fancier and go with Anthony for Men. Then things got expensive, those cartridges! Maybe it's my beard, but they certainly don't last long and having to replace them started to add up quickly...even with Costco selling them in bulk. So I gave up on shaving and just kept it trimmed short over the years. So here I am today, newly married man and the wife likes me clean shaved. I figure she does a lot for me and the home, one thing I could do is make her happy and stay clean shaved. I thought that there has to be another way, something cheaper then those cartridges, and I went to the internet in search of it. Boy was I in the shadows of Gillette marketing and the internet has shown the light as to what is all out there. Anyway, would like advice or approval (whatever you want to call it), on the products I plan to buy and start using here soon: DE Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89BA11bl Brush: Simpson Colonel X2L or Duke 2 Cream: I'd like to get something locally and as natural as possible. Shooting for Kiss My Face or The Body Shop. I also do have the Art of Shaving and stores like Nordstroms, Sephora, etc. but not all provide natural products like I prefer. Maybe eventually I'll venture out to the three Ts. Blades: Going to get one of the sample packs from WCS, but can I get some advice on which ones to start off with and then build up to? I have read that Feathers are super sharp and should be left to more experienced shavers. Bowl: Do I need to get a bowl, or would a regular ceramic cereal bowl be good? Think that's it, hopefully. This sites awesome and sure I'll become an addict soon enough once I start. Also, if anyone would like to see a couple fun videos from my wedding, here are the links: SURPRISE First Dance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9ca...DvjVQa1PpcFMh68AQ5e13bBJMgglKF-vu_LM2FDbQNPA= Mission Impossible Garter Removal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWxI...DvjVQa1PpcFMh68AQ5e13bHgdoN_8xHIyJ0uxYL9JtmY= Thank You, VSolis

It's easy to make this soup meatless. Simply substitute an additional can of great northern beans or your favorite canned beans for the sausage and use vegetable broth instead of beef broth.
Top each serving with a little chopped fresh basil or a fresh basil sprig for an extra burst of color and flavor.

Rated 5 out of 5 by PAWPA from Product helped solve medical problem I am older male with typical medical problems including long term kidney stones (requires drinking a lot of liquids), after effects of surgery & recovery measures for sarcoma of spermatic cord and other various age related medical conditions. Necessity of drinking a lot of liquids causes more activity in urine disposal functions. This necessitates use of adult absorbent underwear occasionally. Since I and my wife are still active in hiking activities as well as attendance at plays, etc. I use absorbent full briefs (generally paper) in some instances such as working in manual activities.(these tend to rustle, etc. and must be discarded) Other times I use an occasional pad such as Kotex liner pads, (these are generally not suited for the male anatomy and also must be discarded). Then I noticed your "Wmns lace trim Absb briefs, pkg/3" which can be washed and dried in normal laundry. I tried one order of this product and it worked very well for various necessary occasions and I then ordered two more packages. (in the past I had ignored them since your catalogs said they were made to be "very pretty with lace trim to make a woman very attractive". This turned me off them. Now that I have tried them I don't find the lace to be offensive and they are very comfortable, practical and less expensive long range because of the normal laundry function, I suggest you change your advertisements to down play the "pretty" aspect and be less gender specific and instead point out the good less gender-specific aspects of this type of clothing. Maybe you could add more product style additions for women such as bows, ribbons or little flower decorations to the product for women.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Shopping sustainable from Pretty but overflows I'm trying reusable products for urge-incontinence. I loved the idea of these briefs, especially for changing in public spaces. They fit well, and look good. However, when bending over or sitting down the liquid in the pants spells right out. So if you need them for public, they do their job but don't bend down to weed a stray weed, or hop in your car to go home.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
I was annoyed this morning (Jan. 31) when I read an editorial in the Salt Lake Tribune entitled: Town and country: City customers should not subsidize rural gas rates. Why shouldn't they? I was thinking of all the things that rural Utah puts up with to help the people who live in the cities. The rate increase at the maximum would be $2.30 per year per customer. And chances are with rate deductions and other decreases this rate increase would be rolled into that and in the end a zero cost to customers is more likely the case. In Emery County, the Cleveland and Elmo area residents pay the higher rates for their natural gas.
We in Emery County pay taxes to the state of Utah and a lot of those taxes go towards building roads along the Wasatch Front, should we say pay for your own roads and not a penny of our taxes should go towards any road that isn't in our county?
Should we say that all the electricity produced in Emery County should stay in Emery County? We are a state with a lot of different people and a lot of different interests. For this person at the Tribune who wrote this to say they don't care about rural Utah is so rude. Do you not care that you can flip a switch and have electricity that was produced in Emery County. Do you not care that you can turn up your thermostat and heat your home with natural gas that was produced in rural Utah.
The rural customers in outlying areas did agree to pay this added surcharge so they could have gas service brought to the rural communities. But, this was based on the expectation that these cities would see additional growth. These surcharges have inhibited growth. There are still counties in rural Utah without natural gas service. Green River and Emery do not have natural gas service. These communities where the gas has been brought in do pay gas bills up to 30 percent higher than other communities.
Think of all the growth along the Wasatch Front and all of the gas lines that have been installed to service those booming communities. The actual cost of gas lines and installation is not paid by those urban users as it was paid by these people in rural communities. Urban users pay a set-up fee which in no way pays the actual costs of running these gas lines. But that's the way utilities operate. Older and existing customers always pave the way for new customers and new growth. Doing things in this manner keeps the gas and electricity affordable for everyone. According to Mike McCandless, Emery County Economic Development Director, no one would be able to afford a new home if they had to pay the actual costs of all the utilities, gas, electricity, telephone, sewer, water, etc.
McCandless said Questar has remained neutral on the shift in spreading the cost of the natural gas to these rural communities. Questar will get their money just the same. They see the impacts on these rural communities and support the rate shift. "Questar has just been incredible to work with. They have been honest and upfront about everything. Financially this won't affect them," said McCandless.
McCandless said the economic development office has been involved in this process for two years now to get the natural gas costs more evenly distributed over the whole state. These rural communities have been adversely affected by these higher natural gas rates. The town of Beaver has lost a huge business because of the higher natural gas rates which made it prohibitive for that company to settle in Beaver.
Our own town of Cleveland has lost a business that went elsewhere because of the higher gas rates in Cleveland. "This discrepancy within our own county results in discrimination against Cleveland and Elmo. I have seen businesses interested in Cleveland and when I tell them about the higher gas rates, it really discourages them from locating in Cleveland. This is an unfortunate problem which we are trying to remedy which is why we went to the Public Service Commission to start with. Sometimes I feel that rural Utah is treated like a third world country. They want us to produce their power and have all the impacts here, they want to play here, but no one is willing to step up and help us. All this tariff change will do is level the playing field so that we can compete for businesses. These high rates are just leaving us further behind. Cleveland only has two businesses. People just choose not to locate there because of the costs.
"Delta is in the same boat. A large company was looking at locating in Delta. The extra cost for that business for gas would have been $37,960,000. The total bill of the tariff change is $1.7 million. Look at the tax revenue that was lost when Delta lost this business because of their higher gas costs.
"This problem is just creating a bigger rift. All we want is the same rate statewide. These communities knew that they would have to pay higher rates. But the forecasting that was used to formulate the process for the charging of these rural communities is flawed. This system hasn't worked correctly since the beginning. It only worked in extremely fast growing communities who could pay the bill off sooner. For rural Utah it just hasn't worked. We need something better.
"We also want to know how we get gas to the communities of Green River, Emery and Scofield. This is just a bad situation. The regulations have some bad language in them and it needs to be removed, the methodology needs to be changed. It's just a tragedy that some of our communities are without natural gas," said McCandless.
McCandless and his group are also working on a bill which would require a rural member on the Committee of Consumer Services. This is a state run organization that has three responsibilities, one is to the customers-residential users, one to small business, and one to take positions before the Public Service Commission. Without a rural member on that commission the voice of rural Utah is never heard. The representative for rural Utah would come from the governor's rural partnership board.
McCandless said they have been to the Committee of Consumer Services meeting and spoke of the needs of Cleveland saying the community is business challenged and there are several people living there below the poverty level and McCandless was interrupted during his presentation and told the committee didn't care. The committee only seemed interested in the low income in the downtown Salt Lake area and Wasatch Front area; the needs of the low income in rural Utah was not of interest to them. The mandate of the committee is to represent all small business and any residential customer before the Public Service Commission, but apparently this is not the case if your small business or residence is in rural Utah.
Two final meetings will be held before the Public Service Commission comes to its decision. Public comments will be taken at 4:30 p.m. on Feb. 8 in Room 403 of the Heber Wells Building, 160 East 300 South, Salt Lake City. Another meeting will be held on Feb. 15 at 6:30 p.m. at the Beaver County Administrative Building 105 East Center Street. Written comments can also be submitted. McCandless will attend both of these meetings to keep the hope alive that maybe someday, rural Utah will be treated equally.

The idea for this thread belongs to POW.
The purpose of this thread is to cut down on all the pointless one line sentence question threads that tend to pop up after an exciting chapter comes out and give the mods a break from graveyarding.
You can ask any type of Bleach question, from theoretical to the "I forgot" type.
Here are the rules:
1) Questions should be Bleach related.
2) Questions should be in plain text and plain English, the best you can. (No retarded speak.)Good Example: Where is Yoruichi's Zanpakutou?
Bad Example: It's raining, should I take an umbrella outside?
3) Mulitple questions should be numbered for orginization.Good Example: Will Ulquiorra survive in his current condition?
Bad Example: iz tee 4 epsada gunna dieez?
4) Answers should be in BOLD text and should quote the post they answer, in order to avoid confusion with other posts.Good Example: 1) Where are the Vizards?
2) Will Ulquiorra survive in his current condition?
Bad Example: Where are the Vizards, why are they not here yet?
5) No "mile long" paragraph questions! While there is no limit on the number of questions, we want to avoid creating a thread within a thread.Good Example:
1) Waiting for the captains to get beaten.
2) We don't know.
Hopefully this will work and prevent a lot of pointless threads from popping up, so let's all give it a try.
Good luck, God speed & God save the Queen...

The Utah Division of Oil, Gas, and Mining's Abandoned Mine Reclamation Program has begun planning the closure of abandoned uranium mines in the San Rafael Swell, approximately 20 miles north of Hanksville. The Temple Mountain Project would close approximately 140 uranium mines in a historically significant area.
"We are particularly sensitive to the historic and cultural values of the area," stressed project coordinator Chris Rohrer. "The project design will allow us to protect the public from the dangers associated with these abandoned mines while maintaining the historic nature of the site."
The area has long been a popular recreation destination of history buffs, all-terrain vehicle enthusiasts, and mountain bikers. Unfortunately, there is also abundant evidence that people are entering the mines, perhaps unaware of the hazards they pose, such as pockets of dead air that could instantly overcome the adventurer, unstable mine workings that could collapse, and deep shafts that easily go unnoticed in the dark. In addition to these hazards unwary visitors are also exposed to radiation and radon gas.
The San Rafael Swell area has seen mining activity for more than a century. Most of the mining activity occurred prior to World War I and again from about 1948 through the 1950s. Although there are still some active claims, mining declined significantly in the 1960s.

"We are very excited to receive this recognition," states program director Ron Meade. "Our program's faculty members stress the importance of being active participants within the profession and the community, and we have been fortunate that our students have accepted the challenges presented to them. We are excited that the class of 2014 has already begun fundraising efforts for next year's challenge."
The Foundation for Physical Therapy supports the physical therapy profession's research needs in scientific research, clinical research and health services research. Examples of projects funded through the foundation include research related to stoke recovery, cerebral palsy and low-back pain. More than 500 researchers have received grants totaling more than $12 million through the foundation.
This is the sixth time the program has received the Outstanding PTA Program recognition. This year's award will be presented later this summer at the Foundation for Physical Therapy's Gala in Salt Lake City, Utah. To date, the SCC PTA Program has raised over $22,000 to aid in physical therapy research.
