Skip to comments.California Legislation Would Abolish Parental Control of Childrens Choice of Sex
Posted on 05/12/2012 10:27:28 AM PDT by OneVike
It has become clear for some time that there is no limit to which a leftist will go in there attempt to control mankind from the cradle to the grave. Even the fear of voter backlash in an election year does not seem to slow them down any longer. Why else would Obama come out of the closet in full support of same sex marriage, at the same time that California Democrats are attempting to criminalize a parent's influence upon their child's sexual orientation. Passing through the California Senate Judiciary committee by a vote of 3-1, SB 1172 is on its way to the full Senate for consideration. If passed into law, it won't be long before therapists, psychologists, counselors and parents could be convicted of crimes against the state if they ever attempt to change a child's sexual orientation. Sponsored by State Senator Ted W. Lieu (D) Senate Bill 1172 (pdf file) discourages "sexual orientation change efforts" of adults and essentially makes it illegal to change the sexual orientation of minors.
The legislation would require all adults to sign a consent form before they undergo any therapy that would attempt to change their sexual orientation from gay to straight, or even straight to gay. As for the children, SB 1172 would abolish all parental control that influences whether they will grow up to be gay or heterosexual. Furthermore, parents who violate this law could lose custody of their children to the state.
You can bet that if this gets signed into law, there will be lawsuits all the way to the Supreme Court. Especially when you consider that this bill would give the state the right to step into doctors' examination rooms, or psychiatrists' offices and gag

I remember when "You can be anything you want to be" meant a nurse, a fireman, a doctor, a cowboy, ....
Paul explains a liberal:
Romans 1:21 Yes, they knew God, but they wouldnt worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. 22 Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. 23 And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles.
24 So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each others bodies. 25 They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen. 26 That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. 27 And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved.
We all need to be aware of this legislation. Even if you do not live in California, you need to be informed about it.
Obama, Reid, and Nany Pelosi and their homosexual activist allies have have made it clear that they plan on advancing similar legislation at the federal level. We already know that Obama has taken a stance that will embolden the leftists who support the homosexualization of America.
He did so, knowing that same sex marriage was again delivered a huge defeat at the polls, this time in NC. It would seem that even an election year does not worry them anylonger.
It is time to put the fear of God into the left by doing all we can to deliver a death blow to their ambitions by sending the most conservative members to Congress we can.
To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, is America still the last best hope of mankind? Or are we seeing the culture dissolve, and are we now taking a step into 1,000 years of darkness with this kind of stuff?
Even as recently as 20 years ago, would any of you have thought that how we define marriage would be a hot button controversial issue?
Would you have ever thought that if you said you think marriage should be a man and a woman, that this would be considered hate speech by liberals?
The Cold War with the communist bloc is long over, but there are other wars being fought. The liberals have launched "culture" wars on many issues, including marriage. The liberals have permeated the culture through their hold on the media, with Hollywood idiots also having a role in normalizing behavior which was once shameful or bizarre.
As far as the left is concerned, you can be what ever they tell you to be, and to hell with what you or God thinks.
Cradle to grave control.
Now it means a cowboy, a construction worker, an Indian, a cop, a biker, a soldier . . .
LOL! Good point.

Another article about this proposed law in CA. Children are never homosexual unless influenced by others, specifically older homosexuals, and public schools are turning into cruising grounds via GLSEN and the like. It is to be expected that more children will be getting confused about their sexuality due to malignant social influences. So this law would criminalize parents who want to help their children lose that confusion. Evil to the max.
Can hardly wait until Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Frank & Dodd, et al, are frog marched to prison. Corruption abounds!!
Amen brother, Amen.
I am SO glad I was brought up in a sane,moral household.
None of this "homosexuality is wonderful" malarkey,or anything else the liberals like to celebrate.
Does this mean that they will be able to prosecute the idiots who think their underage children should have sex change operations and the docs who perform them? Or is this only going to work for heteros trying to make sure their children remain straight?
We're all perverts now..?
You know, the way the bill is written, it would also open up prosecution against those who want to influence a child to be gay.
So to answer your question, Yes.
However, it still needs to be defeated, because I am we cannot count on local prosecutors in the metro-sexual cities to enforce this upon the homosexual community as they would against the Christian right.
I agree, the left would use this law only one way, and that would be against heteros trying to make sure their child wasn't dragged into a life of queerness. The same way the hate crime laws only work white against black and not black against white.
>>I remember when You can be anything you want to be meant a nurse, a fireman, a doctor, a cowboy, ....
You'll still have those choices: You can be anything you want to be will just mean a gay nurse, a gay fireman, a gay doctor, a gay cowboy, ....
Parents should announce:
"If you are old enough for sex, you are old enough to move out and take care of yourself"
By their line of reasoning the only thing forbidden is to forbid anything.
The Democrat-Libertarian Alliance has taken hold in Kalipornia
As long as the California voter keep re-electing these stupid people, there is really nothing anyone can do about it. And as long as these politicians keep giving these stupid voters free-bies, these stupid voter will keep voting for these politicians.
That truly sums it up...the feeling the God has abandon man to wallow in his own foolishness has been overwhelming of late If light be reason logic common sense truth God word...our country had gone in to darkness and blind to any light..it crave the dark
How long before it's against state law to flee California for your freedom?
God save us. This is so sick.
Now does everyone understand why it is called an abomination?
And we see why it is not a private matter, but the existence of open homosexuality destroys everybody.
Leviticus 18:22...27 'You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination. ... 'You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations, either any of your own nation or any stranger who dwells among you (for all these abominations the men of the land have done, who were before you, and thus the land is defiled)...
Leviticus 20:13 13 'If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.
That's it.
It would seem that even an election year does not worry them any longer.
Because they've figured out how they're going to retain office.
I don't think that the culture is dissolving, rather that it is being taken from us and that our complacency to not even acknowledge it will cause its loss.
No problems, mate ........................................ FRegards
My husband made that exact point. He said there would be the usual double standard, one enforcement for heterosexuals, and another (non-enforcement) for homosexuals.
People did demand that Sodomites have their "Rights!" Now you can see what they do with those "Rights" once they get them.
Here's another one.
:::::shaking head with disbelief:::::
We need to change that this year at the ballot box. Time to make them pay for their Insolence towards God.
Even though I will not vote for anyone for president, I will vote down ticket for conservatives.
That being said, Romney will win by almost if not more of a margin than Reagan beat carter by.
Many Americans, including the so-called moderate Independents and registered Democrats will vote for anyone besides Obama.
Sadly, the GOP establishment will take it to mean moderates win big, conservatives my win, but with small margins as they completely ignore Reagan's historic landslide victory.
They will say GW was a conservative and that he could not get the majority vote against Gore to make their point.
So we need to ensure that both the House and the senate have as many true red blooded constructionist conservatives as we can to hold Romney's proverbial feet to the fire. Especially when you consider that he will have the chance to probably appoint 2 Justices on the Supreme Court.
If we play our cards right by getting many, many conservatives in Congress, then we will get two conservatives on the court. That will ensure 50 plus years of opinions that will help turn this country around.
I always said that Christ will return because men are bad on their own, not because a government made them evil. So that means we will have a period of unfettered true capitalism that will make all nations free to become so comfortable that they will begin believing they are responsible for their own success, not GOD!
Then Christ will return, and we can all go home to the place he has prepared ahead of time for us. So it is up to us to take back the senate and embolden all the conservatives we put in to turn this economic machine around to usher in Christ's return.
Just the way I see it, but that does not mean I will ever vote for a liberal from Massachusetts.
Homos always go after authority over the sexual development of other people's children in the name of their sex rights. This is how they "breed."
Having raised boys, I know they like boys better than girls when they are young. The Left is homosexualizing/grooming them young in homo public schools, too. So I suspect their scheme will work with many young boys and parents will be persecuted if they try to interfere with the program once they have been tagged "gay" sexual property by the government schools. Sick, sick, sick. Can people be this ignorant?!
I suppose once this gay nonsense was given free rein this could have been foreseen. For all virtues, such as American ideas of being created equal and of freedom, there are vices that more or less closely counterfeit them. Without logical reasoning and a godly moral foundation, the potential for mischief is almost limitless.
The problem of course is not THAT the lads are kissing one another (it's a very heterosexual thing for men to do in Italy, for example) but WHY.
Got it at comment 11~
(I'm a bit under the weather so instead of doing stuff I should be doing I'm FR-ing.)
I'm no prude, but this is just gross, doing something like that to an innocent child.
Should be a hard time felony.
What do you mean "The choice has never been this clear" Obama favors homosexual marriage, and Romney, long time advocate for the Homosexual Agenda, implemented gay marriage in Mass and just came out in favor of homosexual adoption. Where exactly do their positions differ, on this and most other issues. A clear choice is one thing we don't have.
Even though I will not vote for anyone for president, I will vote down ticket for conservativesYou will not find any writing by me that says I support or think Romney is anything but a leftist cultist who wears magic underwear to bed as he dreams of being a god of his own planet with many pregnant wives.
California is the Toilet of America.
In other news, homeschooling, greatly, increases throughout the state of California, for some reason...

The Emery County Historical Society went on a field trip recently and visited the MK Tunnels. Mervin Miles began the tour with a little history of the tunnels. "The general contractor for this project was the Department of Defense. The government wanted to test the rock for stability and feasibility for the building of a storage site. This began in the late 40s and continued until the mid 50s," stated Miles.
"The tests were to determine if the rock in this area could withstand a bomb blast. Many tons of TNT were used to create the big tunnel. It goes back into the mountain about 300 feet with an off-shoot tunnel which is about 200 feet long. Several local men were involved in this project including Jim Peacock, Lyle Crawford, Stewart Snow, and many others.
"In the 50s, when the crews were cleaning up the area, an Emery County gully washer came down and the flood waters rushed into the holes on the surface of the tunnel. One man was drowned, I'm not sure of his identity, and many pieces of equipment were also lost in the flood.
"In the Buckhorn, the powder magazine for this project was built. Further up the Buckhorn is where the camp was located with the living quarters for the people.
"This area has been considered a public safety hazard, due to the large holes in the top of the tunnels. The Bureau of Land Management has decided to reclaim the area to eliminate the dangerous situation. Following the blasts, it was determined that the rock in this area was too soft for the purpose of storage. The testing moved into Colorado and found a site suitable for the purpose and that location is NORAD today.
"For the reclamation of the project, the BLM has decided to fill in two of the three holes with small indentations remaining for the public to be able to visualize the holes. One hole will have grating installed so the hole remains visible. The opening of the main tunnel will have recessed bars installed to allow visitors to see into the tunnel, but not have access into the unsafe areas. This reclamation project will resolve the safety and liability issues for the BLM," said Miles.
The group walked into the tunnels and looked over the site, after which they went to the powder magazine location. It was the general consensus of the group to request the main opening of the tunnel be left open for approximately 25 feet before the installation of the bars. They felt this distance would still be safe and yet allow visitors to the area a better feeling of the immense size of the tunnel.
For the reclamation of this site, the BLM has contacted the Division of Oil, Gas and Mining for the engineering and completion of the project. As a part of the reclamation project, the BLM has expressed the need for interpretive, informational kiosks in the area to give visitors the history of the tunnels. The historical society suggests the kiosk location to be near the powder magazine with directions and pathways to the tunnel.

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate Community Editor
For one full day on Oct. 2 more than 150 federal and state officials, miners, law enforcement, emergency responders and other mine personnel conducted a mock safety drill to test skills that could one day save a life. Taking place at the the Dugout Canyon Mine the mock disaster was organized by Arch Coal, (Dugout's parent company), and the Department of Labor's Mine Safety and Health Administration.
"The scenario that we are going to play out this morning is that around 4 a.m. there was smoke detected in the mine," said Arch Coal public relations contact Greg Schaefer. "The mine was then ordered to be evacuated and then once we got clearance we found that 10 employees were still trapped within the mine, or unaccounted for I guess is the better term. So in any case that is the scenario"
Arch planned to have updates available to the press and families of the "trapped" miners every hour and brought in 10 mine rescue squads from all over the country to train in the disaster setting.
While the press was invited to the event, mock press officials were also in attendance to test the mine managers and safety officials throughout the mock crisis.
"The mock press is for exposure to our employees concerning the difficulties of setting up a situation and then accurately conveying information to the press," continued Schaefer.
The Arch group set up a media center at Wellington City Hall and also set up a family center several miles from the media post.
"We have the families secluded in a different area and they are provided updates a few minutes before any information is given to the press," he explained.
In addition to the expanded informational areas the mine personnel set up a command post near the mine in conjunction with local, state and federal emergency management teams.
Working closely on the safety drill was Chief of Mine Emergency Operations for MSHA, John Urosek.
"We would work closely with a mine in the event of a real disaster so it would only make sense that we would be involved with this type of safety drill," said Urosek. "We have some new equipment here, some we have brought from back east including a robot that we are in the process of updating, we are also in the process of testing a new product for communications. It is our hope that we can find the faults in this equipment now and make the necessary improvements for when these technologies are needed in a real situation."
Both Schaefer and Urosek concurred that this type of training is invaluable, because while most of the newly deployed equipment was working rather well, they were finding glitches that will only help in future situations.
Following the briefing at city hall both media and mine personnel were shuttled to the mine portal, where after several checks were made confirming their credentials, they were given the opportunity to speak with the mine manager, Erwin Sass and the rescue teams who had been working drills within the mine.
"This is great training," said 13 year mine rescue veteran Andy Tweddell. "There is no better experience than what is being provided right here. It is my feeling that our mines continue to get safer and safer and technology and training improves. This training was the most realistic I have participated in."
According to Tweddell, the first section of rescuers participated in a competition consisting of a map evaluation with smoke looking for two of the unaccounted for miners.
"The ultimate goal is find these men and get them out, we were fortunate enough to find the men we were looking for and map out the whole area despite the heavy smoke, I just can't make it clear enough how realistic the situation was," explained Tweddell.
His sentiments were echoed by state official Garth Nielsen.
"Dispatch notified everyone that this was only a drill and from that point forward we treated this situation as if it were a real mine disaster," he said. "The local ambulance services were given the opportunity to treat several different types of injuries that one might see during this type of mine incident."
Following Nielsen's comments, Urosek of MSHA gave more detail about the technology available from the agencies new robot. "This machine has the capability to give eyes and ears for the rescuers, it really is quite amazing," said Urosek. The robots functions include:
â¢A robotic arm for moving debris and other objects.
â¢Noxious gas detection equipment.
â¢The ability to traverse rough terrain.
â¢And several cameras giving a real time look at the environment.
The current robot can operate on a 4,000 foot fiber optic cable, MSHA officials pointed out however that a 10,000 foot model should be available soon.
While the St. Louis based Arch Coal is one of the nations largest coal producers, supplying almost 6 percent of the total electricity generated in the United States, its lost time safety incident rate was three times better than the industry average in 2007.

Style # 211039
Hi Wedge Logo Flip Flop 4 4
Pretty for summer! I got mine in color black, size I got was Small and I'm a 7 in bebe shoes (in the past I've had Medium and work fine but looked a little bigger). These are comfortable but they are not flats either, however i'm glad I bought them 40% off not too long ago in the store. A great way to show off cute pedi in nice spring and summer colors. I like the little gold (hardware?) logo on top, the other one printed on the sole fades eventually but that's not a deal breaker. I want the white ones next ;) April 29, 2013
Very cute flop that adds excellent height I've had these flops (in black# for about 3 months now and wear them once or twice a week. The gold logo on the sole has worn off a lot, but that was to be expected since your heel is rubbing it whenever you wear them, and nobody sees that part anyway unless you take your shoes off. These add excellent height for shorter people! I give them 4 stars only because the inner strap does begin to rub my skin off or make a blister if I've walked TOO long in them #I wouldn't recommend wearing them to the mall, outdoor event, etc. where you'll be on your feet all day#. My cat sometimes rubs her fur all over them which clings to the rubber, but they clean right up with a lint roller. I'd definitely recommend these #at least in black, I'm not sure how dirty white can probably get). March 12, 2013
awesome design!!! I think they really fablous and fit great! There a great height which makes your legs look really good. March 6, 2013
Too Expensive for So-So Quality Flimsy quality with weird sizing. Not worth the $$ unless they're on sale. January 20, 2013

Music is used for more than entertainment. It is also used as a therapeutic process called music therapy. Research has been done that proves music has the ability to change one's mood. It can put you in a better mood, can make you feel relaxed when things are stressful, or it can also make you feel romantic and loving. Music therapy does more than affect or change the way you feel. It is a scientific process to heal and improve someone's overall wellbeing. It has the power to heal and improve both psychological and physical pain. Because it is more than entertainment, the value of music should never be underestimated.
Music therapy needs to be completed in a controlled environment by a professional doctor. Listening to music or suggesting a song to a friend will not be satisfactory for the purposes of music therapy. If you are interested in music therapy, you will need to work with someone who has been certified as an approved music therapist. Music therapy is used for these purposes: combating stress, wellness, improving memory, ability to show/communicate emotion, reduce or alleviate pain, improving results from physical rehabilitation, and improving communication.
Music therapy can include sessions that involve listening to certain types of music to performing music acts or dancing. Based on what an individual needs, the music therapy program designed needs to be custom and individualized. Music therapy is used in a number of different hospitals, nursing homes, dentist offices, psychiatric offices, and in schools. You don't have to be sick or injured to use music therapy, and healthy people can use it to control the amount of stress they feel.
Hospitals use music for a number of different reasons. It can be used to help patients fall asleep and rest peacefully, and it can be used to calm a patient if they are feeling anxious. It is great for use with physical therapy because it motivates a patient to work harder and feel motivated. You may notice that when you listen to music while you work out, you work out harder and longer. This is the same concept.
This type of therapy is beneficial and can improve someone's quality life. There is a lot of research on the effectiveness of it, and is even reimbursable by some insurance companies. Music should be a part of everyday life because it is so beneficial to our wellbeing. Music can be as simple as entertainment and as complex as using it for healing and therapy.

If you don't care for the taste of cilantro in the marinade, try using chopped fresh parsley instead.
To use the leftover marinade as a sauce, boil it for 1 minute to destroy any bacteria that may have been transferred to it from the chicken.
No time to make the marinade? Purchase a tequila lime marinade to use instead.

When Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore stopped tweeting each other excessively lovey-dovey nonsense, the world wondered what was going on with them. It wasn't like Mr. and Mrs. Kutcher to not dominate the Twittersphere with "proof" that they were not only deeply in love, but a happily married couple. But alas, not long after the tweets fizzled so did their six-year-long marriage.
It's no secret that Hollywood marriages fail a lot of the time and for different reasons. Sometimes it's the stress of being in the public eye, occasionally it's all those almost-real love scenes with a co-star or it's just Kim Kardashian trying to make a buck and stay relevant. In most cases when rumors start to spread that a couple is on the fritz, their public relations team jumps in and tells them to do something "romantic" in the public eye so all that chitter-chatter about the status of their relationship will come to an end. Sometimes these PDA moments work, other times they fail and the relationship in question follows suit.
With the Internet being the go-to place for everyone to get their news and celebrity fix, it makes sense that famous people have taken their PDA to places like Twitter. However, who's to know if it's real or a perfectly concocted scheme to prove to fans that "yes, we're in love so look at these tweets as proof."
Here are some celebrities who have taken their love to the Twittersphere. You decide who's for real and who's a straight up liar.

Keeping it Legal: Transboundary Challenges Facing Brazil & the Guarani
David N. Cassuto
Pace University - School of Law
Romulo S. R. Sampaio Sr.
Getulio Vargas Foundation (FGV) School of Law; PACE Law School
September 2, 2011
Water International, Vol. 36, No. 5, p. 661, September 2011
This paper examines the legal and ecological problems facing the Guarani Aquifer System. Because the majority of the Guarani Aquifer System underlies Brazil, the Brazilian legal regime forms the paper's principal focus. The importance of the region makes the need for accurate information crucial. Yet relying on such information to manage a complex resource presents risks. Too often, the role of uncertainty in regulating is underplayed. Increasing knowledge over the resource demands categorizing "hard" and "soft" uncertainties, especially those presented by climate change. In addition, regulators must acknowledge the unitary nature of the aquifer while remaining sensitive to differing national priorities.

Sphere Ray Trace
Sphere Ray Trace - 6.0.0
Ian Mallett (geometrian)
geometrian shadows shadow sphere raytrace reflect ray reflection caster trace refraction raytracer tracer raycast reflections raycaster cast refract refractions
Lately, I've realized that while PyOpenGL is fast and powerful, it may not be quite powerful enough to create the realism I want easily.
Ray-tracing is a way to create super-realistic lighting effects, among other things. In this screenshot, for instance, you can see refractions and reflections.
Anyway, this is more of a tech demo than anything--it only works with spheres, as they are mathematically simple. There are a few bugs here. The refraction code is based off of my circle refraction program: http://www.pygame.org/project/768/?release_id=1324. The circle program, which currently just ignores internal reflection produces artifacts in the image. They're errors, since the refraction method is not implemented. Any problems show up magenta here. I'll fix all this later in perhaps another release.
Added refraction. Still has a few bugs therein, though...

Marie Vandenbeusch, University of Geneva and Elisabeth Greifenstein, University of Würzburg
While excavating the front room of house E13.6 at Amara West, archaeologist Mary Shepperson came across a stone lying next to a grindstone. At first it appeared to be a similar object, but upon further inspection it proved to have carved decoration on one face.
This sandstone stela (F5808), 17.4 cm in height, depicts a woman on the right side making an offering of a flower to a seated figure wearing a crown on the left side. As with all finds, this was carefully labelled and brought to the dig house at the end of the day, where they are registered on our database by Marie, and later drawn by Elisabeth.
Even after some days have passed, we (as Egyptologists) are unsure if the figure on the left is wearing the red crown or the double crown, because in different kinds of light the carvings in the eroded areas can be very unclear.
But the person shown, who might be a king, is holding a long sceptre in his left hand. Comparing this stela with one previously found in Amara West and now in the British Museum (shown here), it might be possible that the names of a king and goddess were written above the head of the figures.
Further study, and especially the process of drawing the stela under different light, might reveal who is depicted. In any case, it is a stela of rather humble quality. Though found in a house, we cannot be sure it was originally set up here, as stelae can be recycled as lids for storage vessels, to construct staircases, or anything else that requires pieces of stone.

Rules of the Game
There will be around 20 Pokémon at the beginning of every set. You will vote off your least favourite, and you will have ONE vote PER ROUND. Breaking this rule will cost you your vote for the round. You may change your vote, but you may only do it once per round, and you must state what your old vote is in the post. Then, the Pokémon who has the most votes at the end of the round is eliminated. All posts in this thread must relate strictly to the current events of the game, and if we deem a post as too off-topic or unrelated, the poster will receive up to a one week ban from the thread.
The Pokémon that wins the set gets added to the Winners Circle! When there are ten Pokémon in the Winners Circle, the same type of thing will happen. Once a winner is decided, it goes into the "Hall of Fame". Once 10 of that is made, it get's added to "Serebii.net Favourite".
If you want to see exactly how this game works, you can visit the previous two Survivor Games here or here.
Special Rounds
Now, this game would be no fun if you voted off Pokémon the same way round after round. So, there are a few special rounds that get added into the game to make things interesting. Here they are:
Finals - This is when two Pokémon are left. When this happens you have to be clear if you want the certain one to win or lose. If it is not clear enough, it will not be counted.
Twist Round - If one of the owners/co-owners puts in size 5 text, bolded, and underlined anything that has "twist" in its name that means there was the same amount of votes for two or more Pokémon. Then, both Pokémon get eliminated.
Saved Round - Once per game, at a random point, this will occur. Where you vote for your favorite Pokémon that is still in and the Pokémon with the most votes will be immune from voting against until the top 3. At the top 3, it will come back, and create the top 4.
Double Down Round - This round can occur at any time, at any point, excluding winner's circle and it can occur more than once a set. Here, you must vote for two Pokémon, but the rules still apply that the Pokémon with the most votes is out, though it is likely that there will be a twist.
Prediction Time - This round occurs during every first round of a set. In addition to your regular vote on who you want out, you predict who you think will win the entire set. If a person predicts correctly, they have the ability to automatically eliminate any Pokémon of their choice until the Top 10 begins. If multiple people predict correctly, they vote on who should be eliminated. You cannot participate if you can predict the future.
Abandon Round - This round can only occur before the Top 15. Instead of voting for your least favourite Pokémon, you select your favourite one, and that Pokémon is saved from elimination and cannot be selected by any other voter. When only one Pokémon in the set has not been selected, that one is eliminated. You may not switch your selection.

Property values in Emery County are going up because of a huge demand from buyers and a small supply of homes available. There is a buying and building boom in the county and properties are selling for more than they have in the past. The Utah State Tax Commission looks at surveys from people buying property in the county and compares these figures with actual appraisal figures from the county.
The entire county will be looking at increased property values and all property owners will see a value increase.
Vacant lots are being sold for more money than their assessed value. Kris Bell, county assessor informed the commission of one lot valued at $1,500 that sold for $19,500. Bell said they are looking for a happy medium which will make both the state and the taxpayers happy.
Buildable lots have a higher value than those not buildable. To be considered buildable the lot must meet the criteria to be improved.
Homes and land are valued separately. The land the house is located upon is valued separately than the house. If the buildable lots in the county are valued at a fair rate then maybe those sitting upon lots will be more inclined to sell those lots. The increases will vary from area to area.
The market values will most often follow the trend of the economy in an area.
The ratios the state sets must be between 90-110 percent of mean (average). If not, the state is required by law to come into an area and correct the difference. Currently Emery County does not meet the mean and property values will need to be adjusted to bring Emery County in line with the 90 percent minimum.
Bell said one problem the assessor's office has had in the past was that former commissioners wouldn't allow them to put a lot value on vacant land. It has been a struggle for them to keep up with land values without being able to assess a lot value to vacant land.
Commissioner Drew Sitterud said it bothers him that the large utilities have decreasing taxes each year and the residential tax payers are hit with higher bills. Centrally assessed properties are harmful to the local tax payers.
Commissioner Jeff Horrocks said the tax commission deals with rural areas the same way they do the big cities and many of these taxes are forced upon us. Emery County has large blocks of public lands from which no taxes are collected. He said one size does not fit all when it comes to taxes. Centrally assessed properties should pay their fair share of the tax burden.
Another problem the county has if they do not act to bring the mean in line, the state will come in and do so to the tune of 100 percent. If the county takes action now to move their valuations up to the required 90 percent they will be able to avoid the state doing it for the county in a state mandated factor order.
Bell needs to have all of her work on the numbers completed by May 22. The commission made a motion to bring the property values in line with the minimum of 90 percent required by the state.
The commission made a motion that the assessor's office do this work.
Tax rates from the state aren't known until June. The assessor's office will complete the required work on the property valuations and when the tax rate is set in June, the clerk/auditors office will prepare the disclosure notice which is mailed to the property owners in July.
The assessor's office only sets the value. Emery County is already being taxed at the highest possible rate, so if the market values go up and property taxes increase the tax rate should be lowered to keep the county in line within the perimeters set by the state.

Stuart Lancaster has reflected on his first year in charge of England by stating that his squad is much stronger than it was in 2012.
Stuart Lancaster has reflected on his first year in charge of England by stating that his side are much stronger one year on.
England opted for the inexperienced Lancaster and single-capped flanker Chris Robshaw to lead them into the 2012 Six Nations, finishing in second place and building on their performance with a famous win over New Zealand last November.
"This time last year we were sat here on the back of a World Cup with 15 new caps and a new captain and the key was getting the culture right," said Lancaster.
"We've not won every game but we've never been smashed in any of them.
"With the culture we have now, the trick is to build on that All Blacks performance and get that consistency to win at the highest level – there is no better opportunity to do that than in the Six Nations."
The England coach confirmed in an injury update that Tom Johnson would miss the tournament after an MCL injury, with Freddie Burns and Alex Corbisiero both set to miss the opening weeks of this year's tournament with knee problems of their own.
Lancaster's first year has seen a deliberate emphasis on maintaining the connection between grassroots rugby in England and the international side, as well as changing the image of the side following the 2011 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand.
Managing the various aspects to the role is something Lancaster cites as his biggest learning curve so far.
"The size of the job and the number of moving parts to it – the relationship between club and country, the media – it's about keeping all the plates spinning in terms of my role as a head coach and getting the balance right between coaching the team and managing the team," added Lancaster.
"We have the same coaching team now (the group from the November Internationals) for the first time, the same group of players give or take and generally a good understanding of what we are about culturally.
"It's a better starting point, but equally it all counts for nothing if we don't prepare properly for Scotland.
"People are optimistic now about the journey that we're taking – we decided in investing in a group that would take us through to 2015 and even against the All Blacks we only had just over 200 caps in comparison to their 788 – but I think the public have seen that and are massively behind the team now.
"It helps when the country is behind you and not against you."
England will host Scotland, France and Italy at Twickenham, but despite playing the majority of their fixtures at home Lancaster acknowledges that nothing can be taken for granted.
"Scotland at home on the backing of the new coaching team is a difficult game. Two years ago we were four out of four and went to Ireland and got smashed and then two years before that at Croke Park we were beaten even more," he stated.
"Every game is tough. It helps having three games at home, but every game is going to be tough and that's the beauty of the tournament.
"The challenge for us is to hit the ground running and get that consistency we had in the New Zealand game. What we did well that day was not back up an error on an error – that is what we strive towards.
"What was important were not the tries or the scoreline, but being down to 14 men at the end and defending on our own line and not conceding. That mentality and that fight for each other is a bigger defining point than people give it credit for."

In June, I used Libwebcats to extract about 200+ libraries that self-identified to be using Summon. Then I analysed in the following blog posts
1) How they were branding the service
2) How they were designing the Summon box and also how many were using single box vs multi-tab/box or no box at all.
3) An analysis of the 60 libraries which were using multi-tabs/boxes, the average number of tabs they were using. I also categorized the tabs into 10 different types and analysed the popularity, the position they were placed etc. I also highlighted selected examples of "Website" , "Course Reserves", "Research Guides", "Digital Collections" and "Google Scholar" search tabs , the 5 least popular types.
In this last past of the series, I am going to finish the series by looking at the following tab types in reverse order of popularity.
1. Summon
2. Catalogue
3. Journal
4. Database
5. Articles
In use by 17 libraries (28% of libraries). The most common tab position for this is 2nd. Usually this if it is used is used with libraries with a relatively small number of tabs (3-4).
While this tab is the 5th most popular, it was not as popular as I expected, perhaps because as most libraries have Summon in the default tabs which handles keyword searching for articles very well anyway, so why waste an additional tab on it?
I can think of only 3 reasons
1) Search using a different broad database not well indexed in Summon
2) Search using a summon scoped search because books and other materials might "swamp" out journal articles
3) Cater for known article title searching.
I was kinda expecting #3 to be the main reason but I was wrong.
To me it not immediately intuitive what an "article" tab does. Firstly are we talking about a keyword search for articles or are we talking about a search designed for known item searching?
While Summon and other web scale discovery services with their large indexes are very good for known article searching, theoretically this is not the most reliable way to do so and in fact "article finder" or "citation linkers" or considered superior at least in terms of articles reachable (See Different ways of finding a known article - Which is best?)
Of the libraries in my sample, this issue was settled quite quickly, none of them displayed the citation linker/article finder by default. At best they linked to it.
University of Toronto Libraries maintains that constant blue strip below all tab options, saving the need for additional tabs, as their 3 options below correspond to our "Research Guides", "Databases" and "Articles respectively".
Western Michigan University Libraries is perhaps a cleaner example of a link to the citation linker, except they chose to link to the SFX article finder not Serialssolutions' one which means they are probably maintaining 2 knowledge bases, showing the complex alternatives available. :)
More about "article finder" in the section on "journal tab".
Western Michigan University Libraries is also one example, where the article tab, consists of a search of a specific database rather than a broader index.
In this case, I don't quite understand the reason why ProQuest Research Library is the one chosen, since they would be covered mostly in Summon which is this Universities' default power search. It is also noted that the browse Subject-Specific Database, links to a Libguide with A-Z database listing (populated by Serialssolution - SpringShare partnership), duplicating the database tab.
UConn Libraries give you a choice of searching EBSCO or Google Scholar. I would suspect this library has a large number of databases in EBSCO, and given EBSCO includes many databases , A&I not well covered in Summon, this seems to be a good idea.
The library also seems to market this tab as searching for articles that the library may not have access to, mouseover tooltip states "Not all results are available full-text". Similar to Western Michigan University Libraries there's also a link to a database page.
But almost all the other libraries use Summon scoped search in some way,which perhaps is the most straight forward use. But even then there are a few options.
First though "articles" imply "journal articles" and most libraries scope just to journal articles content type ,that's not the only choice possible.
This library includes Newspaper Article and Trade Publication Articles as well. The University of Texas Libraries goes even further with
- Conference Proceedings
- Market Research
- Newsletter
- Newspaper Article
- Paper
- Trade Publication Article
The design of the box using the Summon scoped search can be a plain box like what University of Leicester library uses , though I personally think since you have gone to the trouble of having a separate box you might as well include more options with checkboxes etc.
University of Texas Libraries design makes most sense to me, allowing you quick access to perhaps the two most important limiters, peer-reviewed only and full-text only.
University of Toronto Libraries (who we saw earlier) has made a choice that makes less sense to me.
For them, the articles tab can be easily converted to a search all tab by unchecking the "limit to journal articles" tab, which is the only limiter.
I wonders why one would do that, since their "default all" tab already does that (with optional checkboxes for "search by title" and "limit to online").
Despite the fact there is a Database recommender which currently is unreliable at best, and a database content type facet (in use by very very few libraries), relying on Summon to find a specific database is not a good idea.
JournalThis is the most popular tab next to catalogue and Summon with about 38 libraries using it (63% of libraries).
The first common tab position for this is 3rd. Usually next to Summon and catalogue.
The main thing I noticed is that about 7 libraries put a link to "citation linker", "Article finder" etc for known item searching.
There seems to be a fear that users would confuse the search in the "journal" for a journal article search.
VirginiaTech University Libraries states the possible issue up front.
Other phrasing including
a) Find article from a citation - University of Texas Libraries
b) Have a citation? Find your article with Citation Linker - Western Michigan University Libraries (SFX)
c) If you already have a citation and want full text, try Citation Linker. - W.I. Dykes Library
d) Use Citation Linker to search for a specific article citation - Eastern Michigan Library
e) Are you trying to retrieve a specific article? Try the Article Finder - Drexel University Libraries
f) Citation Linker - Florida State University Library
This works out to about 21% of journal tabs with links to "Citation Linker", and 17% of article tabs with links to "Citation linker". Libraries that have both article tabs and journal tabs and have a "Citation linker" link, tend to place it on their "journal tab", indicating that they think they need the link there more.
Perhaps users drawn towards the word , "journal" will tend to go there to search for articles.
Personally I am not sure about this. A user searching by article title in a journal tab will quickly learn it doesn't work. True, weaker students might never figure it out and assume the library doesn't have it, but I argue that's a small minority, most will quickly work out the purpose of the journal tab espically with proper wordings about A-Z browse listings etc. Also I have some internal evidence based on tracking from my institution that this is true.
On the other hand, an "article" tab - typically a scoped Summon Search might work occasionally or even most of the time depending on what article is searched. This creates a false confidence that when you can't find it via the article tab the library doesn't have the article online, this is of course false.
So perhaps a citation linker here might be a better idea. Certainly if you have both a "articles" and "journal" tab, I would suggest, users looking for known articles will be more likely to pick "Articles" , though I suppose if all you have is a journal tab, it makes sense to stick it down there.
Ejournals vs Journals
Everything I mentioned about why a Database tab can be useful, even with a Summon default tab applies for Journal tab, except Summon usually has a Journal content type by default.
Again, there are varying way to create a journal tab box including
1) Search mode which typically is more complicated then in database search with options "Title begins", "Title equals", "Title contains all words", and ISSN. - This is to handle close title matches.
2) Browse by discipline mode
3) Browse by A-Z
4) Browse by publisher .
The other major issue that makes "journal" tab search complicated is that while all databases are online, journals can be in both print and online versions.
The problem here is that for most libraries, the best, most efficient journal management system is their A-Z lists/Ejournal portal and in this case since we are talking about Summon, using libraries this is usually the Serialssolutions A-Z ejournal portal.
The fact most of their searches in the Journal search have the same options is big giveaway they are using the Ejournal portal search.
As the name denotes most libraries only enter their ejournal holdings though a few do enter their print. So what do you do if you want a search for both?
Some libraries can get away using a catalogue scoped search, assuming they catalogue every journal even from aggregator packages but even in those cases, classic catalogues generally don't have a well developed browse by A-Z, and subject browse which Serialssolutions Ejournal portal offers.
So such libraries are stuck with a passable search for journals (print or ejournals) but no good browse options for print journals.
Still, in my sample many libraries like Florida State University Library , Middlebury Library , S.C William Libraries etc and quite a few others have print holdings in their A-Z listings so they can offer simple interfaces for both print and ejournals for both search and browse.
I suppose it makes sense that these libraries would be over-represented in this sample, because after all we are looking at libraries that chose to make a specific journal tab, but I would guess as a whole most libraries do not have their print holdings in such lists.
Some libraries just refuse to over-think things and it seems to me while they label their tab "journal" it is actually covering only ejournals.
Others dodge the problem by labelling clearly they are handing ejournals only, hence reducing the case to the same as databases where you have to decide browsing options etc
And yet others try to handle both cases with two different types of searches (Catalogue + Ejournal typically)
ASU Libraries gives priority to Ejournals, with one search bar and one browse by subject category (this is both using Serialssolution's EJournal portal) and uses the classic catalogue to search for print journals. Notice there are no browse options for print.
The American University in Cario is pretty much similar, except replacing a browse by A-Z Ejournal instead of browse by subject.
UConn Libraries is a variant where the default search and 2 browse options are ejournal only, though the search can be changed via pull-down to search the catalogue is I suspect designed for print journals? Again the browse options are for EJournal onlys.
"Available online" uses SFX A-Z not Serialssolutions though. "Available in print" uses classic catalogue.
ConclusionHope this has been useful for you. The main take-away is that because libraries have so many systems and format types, there are dozens of ways to design search boxes. Following the crowd is not always the best idea, though looking at general trends does give you an idea what is out there, so you can narrow down the designs for your user testing.
My main aim in fact was to study the "article" box, and it seems most libraries in the sample do not promote usage of citation linker (about 10 in total out of 60 using multi-tabs). I suppose given that the literature suggests users have problems using those systems and Summon serves as a substitute for known item search (though obviously not as reliable), librarians may start promoting this service less and less.

A lightweight racer capable of marathon duty, the Asics Gel NoosaFast is a nimble option for both competitive roadies and tri-geeks.
The Gel NoosaFast is one of Asics' latest racing flats, a part of their reworked Speed collection for 2013. Continuing from where the pedigreed Hyper Speed has left off, the NoosaFast is designed to meet the needs of road racers and triathletes alike.
Upon our first wear of the NoosaFast, testers were immediately impressed with the seamless upper design; without overlays, the shoe is able to deliver a snug performance fit without being constrictive. Underneath, a Solyte platform offers a smooth and protective ride that should carry runners to the half-marathon distance, or even a full for the more efficient types.
Now to the important part - how does the NoosaFast stack up next to its supposed predecessor, the Hyper Speed 5? We found the cushioning on the NoosaFast to be softer and a bit less resilient than that of the Hyper Speed. Overall, we liked the seamless design of the NoosaFast's upper, and a slight decrease in weight makes the newcomer a formidable option for speedwork and race day.
"I was originally worried that the high heel tab would rub against the Achilles tendon, but luckily I didn't notice any irritation or discomfort from it while running."
"A good racing flat for sure. I'd like to see this available alongside the Hyper Speed as more of an alternative than a replacement."
"The NoosaFast upper is a winner – the seamless design makes for a nice close-to-foot fit suitable for sockless wear."
