In February 2005 , "Speakers at the national meeting of the American Association for Advancement of Science expressed concern Sunday that some scientists in key federal agencies are being ignored or even pressured to change study conclusions that don't support policy positions." Their concerns are well-founded. In June 2005, The New York Times reported that Philip A. Cooney, "removed or adjusted descriptions of climate research that government scientists and their supervisors, including some senior Bush administration officials, had already approved" so as to play down emissions' links to Global Warming. Mr. Cooney served as chief of staff for the White House Council on Environmental Quality. Now, however, he serves Exxon . In July 2005, the EPA purposefully held back incriminating reports about our fuel economy so an Energy Bill that served not the people, but the corporations, would pass. As quoted by CBS News , the energy bill "sends billions of dollars in tax breaks and subsidies to energy companies, but is expected to do little to reduce U.S. oil consumption or dampen high energy prices." The EPA's report stated, "loopholes in American fuel economy regulations have allowed automakers to produce cars and trucks that are significantly less fuel-efficient, on average than they were in the late 1980's." No wonder they didn't want it to be known. We've done nothing to become more fuel-efficient, and in fact, have gone backwards. Now, as a result, we've passed an energy bill that helps us not at all.
Problems mount from 9/11 fallout

The number of people with medical problems linked to the 9/11 attacks on New York has risen to at least 15,000.
The figure, put together for the BBC, counts those receiving treatment for problems related to breathing in dust.
Many of the victims say the government offered false reassurances that the Manhattan air was safe and are now pursuing a class-action lawsuit.
On Tuesday, a coroner said the death of a policeman who developed a respiratory disease was "directly linked" to 9/11.
James Zadroga – who worked at Ground Zero – died in January. The New Jersey coroner's ruling was the first of its kind.
WTC 'cough'
Jeff Endean used to be the macho leader of a police Swat firearms team. Now, he has trouble breathing and survives on the cocktail of drugs he takes every day.
Kelly Colangelo, an IT specialist, used to have good health but now endures a range of problems including asthma and sinus pain.
"It worried me that I've been damaging my health just being in my home," she told the BBC News website. "It also worries me that I see the health impact on the [the emergency crews at the scene]. We were also exposed and I wonder if in 10-15 years from now, am I going to be another victim?"
Both are victims of what used to be called "World Trade Center… Continue reading

Citizens Counter-Coup, The Formula For Change Now
Tuesday April 11th marked 4 years 7 months since the events of 9/11. There
are a few major news items in the last month that underscore the need for building
a mass grassroots movement to expose the truth behind the attacks.
The trial of Zacarias Moussaoui has taken on bizarre dimensions of what has
become more of a propaganda circus while missing the core issue. The government
is basically attempting to make this one person wholly to blame for 9/11. The
prosecution's inclusion of the flight recorder tapes from Flight 93, which
have questionable validity after being kept secret for so long, is an inexplicable
development. Flight 93 had zero to do with this case. The strategy is to employ
the "drama and trauma factor" to sway the jury into choosing the
death penalty so the government can say they obtained justice for the American
people. Isn't it interesting that they chose the Flight 93 drama just
before the release of the movie? Why not sensationalize the trial with details
from the Pentagon or the towers? Meanwhile, the real story of FBI obstruction
of attempts by field agents Colleen Rowley and Harry Samit to have Moussaoui
investigated has been completely glossed over. You would think a flurry of mainstream
articles on this point would open a gaping hole in the government story and
result in a special investigation into the FBI. Instead, we're witnessing
more deafening silence from the Left… Continue reading

April 22, 2007 — Twenty-six firefighters who toiled at Ground Zero came down with sarcoidosis, an inflammatory illness that often attacks the lungs, in the five years after 9/11 – a significant increase, a new study has found.
The study has angered the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, which complains that the NYPD has refused to acknowledge that 9/11 caused sarcoidosis in cops.
Half the firefighter cases were diagnosed in the first year after 9/11 – a rate six times higher than the average for the Bravest in the 15 years before 9/11, according to a paper to be published in CHEST, a medical journal.
The results "strongly argue for improved respiratory protection" at future fires, disasters and toxic sites, says the report, whose authors include FDNY top doctors David Prezant and Kerry Kelly.
The PBA, which has its own registry of ailing WTC responders, counts 19 cops with sarcoidosis.
Unlike the FDNY, the NYPD has been reluctant to link the disease to 9/11.
The NYPD has also rejected some cops' medical bills for sarcoidosis.
"First they denied any connection between the WTC and sarcoidosis. Now that there's scientific evidence, they refuse to accept it," PBA president Patrick Lynch told The Post.
NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said Commissioner Ray Kelly welcomed line-of-duty death benefits recently given the daughter of detective James Zadroga, 34, a 9/11 responder who died of respiratory illness.
"The department hasn't refused to acknowledge a link. The medical division is reviewing the cases," Browne said.

For the First Time, New York Links a Death to 9/11 Dust
By ANTHONY DePALMA
New York City's chief medical examiner, Dr. Charles S. Hirsch, has for the first time directly linked a death to exposure to dust from the destruction of the World Trade Center.
In a letter made public yesterday, Dr. Hirsch said that he was certain "beyond a reasonable doubt" that dust from the twin towers contributed to the death of Felicia Dunn-Jones, 42, a civil rights lawyer who was engulfed on Sept. 11 as she ran from her office a block away from the trade center.
She later developed a serious cough and had trouble breathing, and she died five months after the terrorist attack.
Dr. Hirsch said he had decided to amend Mrs. Dunn-Jones's death certificate to indicate that exposure to trade center dust "was contributory to her death." The manner of death will be changed from natural causes to homicide.
Her name will be added to the official list of World Trade Center victims, and the official number of people who died as a result of the attack on the twin towers will be increased to 2,750.
By making a formal connection between Mrs. Dunn-Jones's death and her relatively brief exposure to the dust, the medical examiner's decision could have a wide impact on how the city deals with the growing number of illnesses and deaths linked in some way to ground zero.
The city is already under pressure to re-examine the deaths of people like James Zadroga, 34, a New York police detective who worked at the debris pile in the months after the towers fell.…Continue reading
WASHINGTON DC – 02.21.08 – Over 200 9/11 First Responders, family members and
supporters will be rallying on Capitol Hill this Tuesday, February 26th.
From 10:00am to 12:00pm, First Responders will rally on the West Lawn of Capitol
Scheduled speakers include Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (NY), Congressman
Jerry Nadler (NY), Congressman Tim Bishop (NY) Congressman Dennis Kucinich (OH)
and other Congressional leaders. Advocates of several 9/11 health organizations
as well as family members and first responders from September 11, 2001 will
also be discussing the health issues they currently face.
The rally is aimed to address the following issues:
* The federal government just cut 9/11 Health Care funding by 77%. A paltry
$25 million was designated for fiscal year 2009, down from $108 million in
2008. This means every program in existence (including Mt. Sinai) will be
operating on a severely reduced budget.
* This past December 2007, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Michael
Leavitt canceled plans for the World Trade Center Business Process Center.
This center was designed to provide treatment for the 10,000-plus First Responders
who reside outside the New York metropolitan area, many of whom are seriously
* The 9/11 Health & Compensation Act (aka the James Zadroga bill) has
still not been passed. This very important piece of legislation that would
help all 9/11 families has been ignored within Congress up until now–it is
time to speak up to to get it passed!
After the event, 9/11 health leaders have several scheduled meetings,… Continue reading
WeAreChange would like to recognize the leadership of George Martin, NFL star and SuperBowl Champion with the NY Giants in 1987. George raised over two million dollars for the first responders of 9/11, raising money and awareness by walking all the way across the country, from New York to California. See http://www.ajourneyfor911.info
WeAreChange also caught up with some of the SuperBowl Champs from 2008. On the video is the messages they had for the first responders. As we watch another SuperBowl pass let's remember who the real heroes in our country are, and how badly they're in need.

When the New York Times explored the political beliefs of Daniel Sunjata, an actor on the FX network's show "Rescue Me," it was under the banner of a "sinister theory."
The "sinister theory" that a group of neoconservative politicians may have colluded to allow, or bring about, the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
On Thursday's Fox and Friends, Greg Gutfield, provocative host of Fox's late night program Red Eye, called individuals like Sunjata, who question the events of 9/11, "mentally ill."
"[Sunjata] believe that 9/11 was a preemptive strike by a neoconservative government," said Gutfield. "I think that means Bush. What angers me about this is people are treating it with respect."
The 9/11 issues are major plot lines in the first 10 episodes of Rescue Me season 5, set to air in April.
"The New York Times ran a piece about it," said Gutfield. "They interviewed the producer — the producer described the actor, the actor believes this stuff, that the actor is well-read, very passionate about it.
"They say this sort of thing about conspiratorialists all the time, but they never say these people are idiots, they're mentally ill, they shouldn't be treated with respect.
"It's an insult to people that were victims of 9/11 and their families. It's an insult to firefighters. I am surprised they are doing this."
Of course, Gutfield, as a professional media water and commentator, shouldn't be surprised at all.… Continue reading
On February 11, 2009, 911truth.org posted notice "9/11 Health Bill Reintroduced
in Congress–CALL NOW," including this intro:
Rep. Maloney has posted a very useful link at her House website: World
Trade Center Health Registry–Number of Registrants by State and Congressional
District based on June 2007 current addresses. When you call your Representative
to ask him/her to cosponsor H.R. 847, you might mention the number of first
responders from your district, and your state, listed on the Health Registry.
All 50 states are included. Maloney states, "…at least 10,000 people
came from around the country to help in the aftermath of the attacks."
Clearly, this is a national issue and we challenge ANY Representative to give
a valid reason why s/he should not support a bill that provides needed care,
especially for their own constituents!
TODAY, we appeal to you to do this again, now. FealGood Foundation
members and supporters will travel to Washington DC tomorrow to attend a markup
hearing on this bill, and your support will make a huge difference in the response
they get. At this point, the number of Cosponsors of HR847 has grown to 55 (list of cosponsors can be found at http://thomas.gov, enter HR 847 in search bar and click the 'bill number' button, then search.); yet the health registry includes registrants from all 50 states.
We need to each make our own Rep aware of this information with just a quick
phone call — "Rep. ____, this is not… Continue reading

Yesterday, John Feal, along with several other 9/11 First Responders went down to Washington D.C. to attend the hearing on the James Zadroga 9/11 Health And Compensation Act. From what I understand, he was singled out by the Congressmen, and applauded for his efforts. I want to say congratulations John. Just to give people an idea of how much you've fought for the responders, here's a little tribute to you (that barely covers your fight). Thank you for doing the right thing. I am very proud to say that you are my friend.
The EPA is a "bunch of brainiacs and bookworms who just look at numbers but don't look at people's pain," said John Feal, a construction worker who lost half a foot in an accident while working in "the pit" at Ground Zero. "The people [downtown] and in Brooklyn pay taxes and deserve to know their tax money is going to protect their health."
John Feal – [NYMetro, 12/13/2005]
John Feal, Valenti's friend and the founder of the Feal Good Foundation, an advocacy group for 9/11 first responders suffering from ground zero-related illnesses, called the workers' compensation ruling encouraging, but added that more must be done to help those who have gotten sick. "Individually, that's great," said Feal, a demolition supervisor who lost part of his foot when it was crushed by an eight-ton beam during the recovery effort at ground zero. "What stinks is that so many… Continue reading

Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand will be joined by
Senators Charles E. Schumer, Frank R. Lautenberg, and Robert Menendez and Representatives
Carolyn Maloney, Jerrold Nadler, Peter King and Michael McMahon, along with
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and 9/11 first responders, construction
workers, clean-up workers and community members who have suffered from the long
term health effects of working at Ground Zero to introduce the James Zadroga
9/11 Health and Compensation Act — the first comprehensive 9/11 health
legislation to ever be introduced in the U.S. Senate.
Thousands were lost on the morning of September 11, 2001, but today, thousands
more — including first responders, area residents, workers, students and
others — are sick and getting sicker from exposure to toxins released
from the collapse of the World Trade Center Towers.
The 9/11 Health and Compensation Act would ensure proper monitoring and treatment
for the innocent men, women and children that face life-threatening health effects
due to the toxins released at Ground Zero in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks.

[See also, at NY Daily News: Lest
we Forget: Victims of 9/11" On the anniversary of Sept. 11, a look
back at those who were lost.]
WASHINGTON – A group of Sept. 11 responders finally got an answer from the White House to their plea for help: a thank you card.
A year ago, members of the Fealgood Foundation delivered that plea to the future President and other lawmakers in a DVD telling the tale of four ailing heroes.
One of the four, Greg Quibell, had just died of 9/11-linked leukemia. Another, former FDNY firefighter John McNamara, died of cancer last month.
They wanted to show Congress why it must pass the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, an $8.4 billion bill to help ailing Sept. 11 workers.
But the act has languished. What the responders have gotten are thank you's, not just from the White House, but from members of Congress who also got copies of "Save the Brave."
"One congressman's office sent it back with a letter that said we're sorry, we don't accept gifts," said John Feal, who lost half his foot at Ground Zero.
Feal got the note from the White House saying "Thank you for your kind gift" last week.
Quibell's widow, Theresa, said the… Continue reading
Bring Bill HR 847: James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act to the floor of Congress for a Vote Now
To: Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ms. Nancy Pelosi & All Congressional Representatives
We the undersigned urge Speaker of the House, Ms. Nancy Pelosi, to immediately commit to a firm date for bill HR 847: the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2009 to be on the floor of the House of Representatives, for a vote.
Having lost over eight hundred September 11th first responders since that horrific day, we must act now as many, many more of our Nation's Heroes are sick and dying due to the time they spent at the World Trade Center site.
We would like to to stress how important the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2009 is to us, our community and America. It is time to get this bill to the House floor and passed so that those who put America first on September 11, 2001 are taken properly taken care of, now.
We want HR 847 passed by Thanksgiving so that we, as a country, can properly thank the thousands who have given so much of themselves, so selflessly. We have lost over eight hundred September 11th first responders since that horrific day, we MUST act now as many, many more of these men and women are sick and dying due to the time they spent at Ground Zero.

In a sad commentary on the currently disintegrating state of "main stream media", I found myself ambushed on Saturday, March 6th, just ten minutes after I arrived at a conference outside Philadelphia on "9-11, the Wars and Our Broken Constitution".
When young, smiling female producer Katie Hinman identified herself as being with ABC and asked for an interview, I had only just arrived at the conference. So although I was a little surprised that the Nightline TV crew was there, I immediately consented to an interview before anyone had a chance to warn me that the TV show was trying to concoct a connection between the conference and the mentally ill young man who had been killed a few days before while shooting at Pentagon guards.
From the very first question Mr. Bury launched, it was clear, however, that he was not interested in the truth, and that I would not fare any better than someone who consents to go on Bill O'Reilly's or Glenn Beck's show.
In the interest of journalistic ethics, let me list a few of the departures from how a decent, ethical, objective journalist would have covered the story of this conference:
1) Chris Bury and his news crew left right after interviewing me. They apparently only spent a couple hours at the conference that morning (before I arrived) and did… Continue reading

Downtown Express – Volume 23, Number 3 | The Newspaper of Lower Manhattan | May 28 – June 3, 2010
U.S. Representatives Carolyn B. Maloney and Jerry Nadler paid a visit to ground zero on Sunday to highlight a 9/11 health care bill that has been dragging through Congress for nearly nine years. The bill cleared a huge hurdle on Tuesday when it passed its final committee vote, sending it to the house floor.
"It's a difficult bill, a complicated bill, a costly bill," said Maloney. The legislation would provide $11 billion in federal funds toward health care and compensation for first responders and survivors who are sick as a result of toxins left in the air after the 9/11 attacks.
Maloney and Nadler were joined by a group of the bill's supporters: police, firefighters, 9/11 first responders currently suffering from health problems, members of the New York delegation and Lower Manhattan residents.
"Every day another floor, another piece of steel goes into reconstructing ground zero, and yet we still haven't found a way to provide health care," Rep. Anthony Weiner said at the event. "We've waited far, far too long."
Now the bill is one step closer to becoming law. Having passed the House Energy and Commerce Committee Tuesday, it will be sent to the floor of congress for a vote,… Continue reading

FealGood Foundation
Dear Friends, Supporters and Fellow First Responders:
As most of you are aware, the past twenty-four hours have been extremely chaotic
in regards to the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act. I, along with
fellow FealGood Foundation board members, have worked with various union leaders
to keep the pressure on our elected officials. As of approximately 5:30 today
our bill was moved into the "Rules Committee" of the United States
House of Representatives and prepared for full House vote. While a modest victory,
this should be considered a step forward to our ultimate goal. However, to our
great displeasure, a date for such a vote has not yet been announced. This is
unacceptable and over the next twenty-four hours we will continue to place additional
pressure on leadership to give us the date we have waited nine years for.
Make no mistake, all involved in this struggle consider it an insult of the
highest degree that we are forced to continue to lobby House leaders to merely
place this bill on calendar. Despite this, we have been advised that the bill
will be given a date for vote tomorrow, September 22, 2010. While promises to
this fragile community have been made and broken so many times that I do not
expect you to believe this one, we must respect the leadership our New York
Congressional Delegation has provided and rely on them to ensure that this promise
is kept. Tomorrow, the… Continue reading
9/11 Health and Compensation Bill Passes House
Association of Fire Fighters
September 29, 2010 — Legislation to establish health treatment and monitoring
programs for World Trade Center responders was overwhelmingly approved by a
bipartisan majority of the U.S. House of Representatives.
H.R. 847, the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, was approved
by a vote of 268-160. The vote to pass the bill followed an attempt by Representative
Christopher Lee (R-NY) and House Republican Leadership to amend H.R. 847 by
adding unrelated legislation to repeal a portion of the health care reform law
and reform the medical malpractice system. The motion failed by a vote of 185-244.
Had the motion succeeded, it would have effectively killed the bill.
"I am pleased that the 9/11 Act passed the House by an overwhelming and bipartisan
majority," says IAFF General President Harold Schaitberger. "World Trade Center
responders know they are finally one step closer to receiving the care and benefits
they need and deserve."
The September 29 vote follows a previous attempt to pass H.R. 847 in the House
earlier this year under rules requiring a two-thirds majority for passage. That
attempt fell 21 votes short of a two-thirds majority.
Following that setback, the IAFF lobbied extensively to bring the bill back
up under regular order, supplementing the efforts of New York Local 94 and Local
"Our two New York City affiliates, their leadership and their members lobbied
tirelessly to move the 9/11 Act forward," says Schaitberger. "Today's vote is… Continue reading

In honor of Moms who need a little pampering, I'd love to share with you: Sodee Naturals. These are amazing products that make you feel wonderful and leave your skin and hair smooth. I love that they are all natural and the company really tries to keep packaging to a minimum. They were wonderful to work with and were extremely helpful with any questions that I had.
I ordered the Grand Sample Box and was sent a few extras as well. I was so excited to get to try out so many things. I usually don't splurge on myself so I was so excited that all of these were for me me me!
These are the shampoo and conditioning bars. I have never used a bar shampoo before so it took a little bit to get used to. You'll want to make sure you put them on a rack or container that they can dry on easily. I got the Amla Hair Builder Shampoo and the Pomegranate conditioning bar. They both smell like Pomegranate and were delightful! I loved how they made my hair feel especially with hard water! They are good for 50-70 uses.
Here is the Egg White Soap for your face. I don't really have a regular face routine but I do now. I love how this made my face feel and it helps to reduce the pore size on your face. I did have a little trouble at first because it recommends keeping it on for about 5 minutes. That gets a little tricky with 3 kids running around so I just changed my routine at little bit and started using it at night. I love that I finally found something that I can pamper myself with a little bit!
I have really dry skin and it drives me crazy when my face gets dry. I got to try this Facial lotion. It starts out thicker but then starts to thin out and is really easy to rub in. They have 3 facial lotions to choose from: 24 hour moisture, normal to dry skin and Oily skin. This has really helped with my dry skin and feels so delicate going on. I love that it is just lightly scented and not over powering.
Body Butter. I love this Body Butter. It is so thick and creamy and works wonders on my dry knees and elbows. I chose Sweet Pink Grapefruit and the scent was light and wonderful. Now that I am expecting #4 I am also starting to use it on my belly to help with stretch marks. It contains shea butter and cocoa butter. I am going to need to get more soon!
I was also sent this sample pack for eczema. I haven't had a chance to use it yet as I want to try it out on Lincoln's arms. We are waiting for a few things to clear up on his skin before we test it out. I will post an update as soon as we do though!
And last but not least...Stainbuster soap. This works great on cloth diapers! It also works really well on clothing. We will be busting out our newborn baby clothes soon and I have been told it works great to get those stains out that pop up after storage. (Think milk stains that show up around the collar) I'll let you know how it works for those. As for cloth diapers, you just wet the diaper and then rub the dry bar onto the stains. I found that doing the initial rinse and then pulling out the diapers before the hot wash is a great time to apply the stainbusting soap. You can also run them through a full wash and as you get ready to hang them up, see what still needs a little staining help and then apply it. You can let it sit on your diaper until your next wash.
I have loved everything that Sodee Naturals has sent me. Each item is so unique and lets Mommy have some special things of her own! I think my favorite item has been the Egg White face wash but I really have loved it all. You can get any or all of these products HERE. Sodee Naturals also has boxed sets which allows you to get a discount and you still get to pick the scents that you like. You can also check out their BLOG for upcoming sales and other great information!
They currently have a sale running until the end of May where you can get 30% off all products! Just use code Mom. That is such a great day! Hurry though...it ends tomorrow!

Originally written on MLB Buzz | Last updated 12/20/12
Earlier this week, a source told FOXSports.com that two American League teams had been in recent touch with the Los Angeles Dodgers about a trade for right fielder Andre Ethier. One of those teams was the Seattle Mariners, but the talks failed to progress, major-league sources say. The other team is not known. Ethier, 30, would be an excellent fit for the Mariners, who had the lowest combined OPS from their outfield of any team in the American League last season. The Mariners' new hitting coach, Dave Hansen, previously was with the Dodgers. But the Dodgers' willingness to move Ethier remains in question. The Dodgers are shopping Ethier, major-league sources say, but one official with knowledge of the team's recent discussions says that the latest talks about him stemmed from inquiries by the two AL teams. Ethier agreed to a five-year, $85 million contract extension with the Dodgers just six months ago. It seems doubtful that any team would take the contract in its entirety.

The Various Types Of Rosary Boxes Wholesale
When children go through their first communion, are baptized, and get confirmed in the church, they will often get a rosary from their God parents or grandparents to celebrate for the occasion. People who have rosaries will need to have a safe place to put it when they are not using it. Religious stores will look for the best selection of rosary boxes wholesale when they look online.
There are several different types of rosary boxes that people will buy. There are expensive boxes that are hand crafted out of wood, plastic, and metal boxes. These boxes come in several different shapes and sizes, and are easy to carry around. Companies often sell the boxes next to the rosaries, or they will ask the person who is buying the rosary to purchase a box to store it in.
Religious stores that sell rosary boxes will often choose to buy the boxes in bulk. This allows the store owner to mark up the box for a higher price to gain a profit after the sale. The more boxes they buy, the less they are to pay for each individual box. Most stores will have wood rosary boxes in stock for customers to buy.
A popular type of wood that people choose for their rosary box is olive wood. This is beautiful wood that is easily carved into boxes. These are relatively cheap to buy wholesale, so it is affordable for customers to buy to store their rosaries. Pine and oak are other types of wood that look beautiful when creating a rosary box.
Another type of rosary box that people will find at a discount is a porcelain box. These are delicate and beautiful boxes that are often given to females. The box is often shaped as an angel, or the cover will have angels and other religious icons on the front. There are boxes that have windows in the top to show the rosary within the box.
Cheaper versions of rosary boxes that many people buy are satin or fabric boxes. These are embellished to look like small pillows, or have embossing patterns on the outside of the box. Religious stores carry a variety of colors and fabrics for their customers to put their rosary in.
The next time stores want to choose from a large selection of rosary boxes, they need to search for rosary boxes wholesale to find the best discounts when they buy in bulk. Businesses will often choose wood, plastic, porcelain, and fabric boxes for their customers to purchase. These boxes are affordable to fit in anyone's price range, and they come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The wood boxes come in pine, oak, olive, and cedar.

Palace Malice, undefeated in his first four races this year, had a bad afternoon at Saratoga Race Course. The heavily favored Dogwood Stable colt finished a disappointing sixth in the Grade I Whitney Handicap on Saturday in upstate New York.
There is no explanation; its a mystery, said Dogwood president Cot Campbell during a telephone interview about an hour after the $1.5-million race.
With Hall of Fame jockey John Velazquez aboard, Palace Malice stalked the front-running Moreno early and was clear of traffic while racing in the third.
When the field headed into the far turn, Palace Malice appeared to be in an ideal spot on the outside as he made his move to challenge. But then he faded in the stretch and was beaten by more than 10 lengths.
The race unfolded precisely like we wanted it to until he turned for home, and then he just flattened out, Campbell said. Johnny (Velazquez) told me that he drifted out a hair. But thats something he (Palace Malice) is inclined to do, and it certainly could not have been a factor. It wasnt like he tried to go to the outside rail or something like that.
Meanwhile, Moreno hung tough on the lead and captured the Whitney by 1¼ lengths. The 10-1 fourth choice in the betting, he covered 1? miles in 1:48.05 while being ridden by Junior Alvarado.
Campbell reported that Palace Malice was doing well immediately following the Whitney.
Hes cooling out now, and hes feeling good, Campbell said. Hes not even breathing hard. Hes bright.
The Whitney was Palace Malices first race since June 7. On that day, the bay son of Curlin scored by a length in the grade I Metropolitan Handicap at Belmont Park.
He hadnt run for two months, so maybe that had something to do with it, said Campbell of the 4-year-old colts subpar Whitney effort.
Plans called for Palace Malices throat to be examined Saturday evening to look for signs of internal bleeding, something that could be an explanation for his poor Whitney performance.
At this point, I would have to be very creative to come up with a reason for his loss, Campbell said. I hope nothing bad surfaces tomorrow.
Palace Malice has a career record of seven victories in 17 races. He has earned more than $2.6 million. Last year, he triumphed in the Grade I Belmont Stakes.

Watada Discharged
Posted By dpacheco On September 30, 2009 @ 2:39 am In Politics & Public Policy | No Comments
First Lieutenant Ehren Watada, who was forced by the Army into a three-year legal battle for refusing deployment to Iraq, this week won his fight.
Recognizing that the Iraq War was an illegal war no matter what the rah-rah traditional media said, Watada followed his conscience. He's now been vindicated by the court, if not by the military, who I doubt will be issuing an apology any time soon.
First Lt. Ehren Watada, the first commissioned military officer to refuse deployment to Iraq because he believed it was an illegal war, has won his three-year legal battle with the Army.
With little fanfare the Army at Fort Lewis, Wash., accepted the resignation of the 1996 Kalani High School graduate, and he will be discharged the first week in October.
Rather than seek a second court-martial against the artillery officer, the Army will grant Watada a discharge under "other than honorable conditions."
Joseph J. Piek, Fort Lewis spokesman, said, "This is an administrative discharge, and the characterization of Lt. Watada's discharge is not releasable under the privacy act."

Startups are taking to crowdfunding portals to advertise that they're raising money.The team behind Co-Founders lab, which connects startups with potential co-founders, created a video ad to demonstrate its services. Rafal Olechowski / Shutterstock.com
The UpTake: A few brave startups are taking the leap into publicly advertising their fundraisers on crowdfunding portals just hours after new rules go into effect allowing the practice.
It didn't take Jennifer Adair long to decide she wanted to let the world know she's raising money for Mindstorm, an app startup that engages kids in learning activities through games and rewards.
"About a millisecond was about the time it took me to figure that one out," she told me.
Adair is among a wave of startup entrepreneurs who took to equity crowdfunding sites like Equity Net and RockThePost, and, of course, to their own social networks, to advertise that they're raising money today.
This is the first day in 80 years such advertising efforts are legal, thanks to new rules that went into effect via the Securities and Exchange Commission, under the JOBS Act.
For Shahab Kaviani, the timing couldn't have been better. The new rules go into effect just as he was wanting to raise money for Co-Founders Lab (to learn more, check out the video below), his matchmaking service putting startup entrepreneurs in touch with potential cofounders.
He launched as a publicly advertised company raising money on crowdfunding site RockThePost today, as that site revamped to greet the new rules.
And, he said, it made sense for his company, which is devoted to startups, to try the latest fundraising mechanisms for startups.
"I think helping crowdfunding become more accessible…we'd like to be part of that," he told me.
For Adair, a stay-at-home mother of two young children who lives in Fayetteville, Arkansas, leaping into advertising just made sense. Her campaign is one of several on Equity Net, which relaunched with companies raising money just today.
"With any other business you advertise. Why wouldn't you advertise a business that you want to start?" said Adair, who has a $100,000 fundraising goal.
Since coming aboard with Upstart's parent company, Kent has covered sustainability and business, entrepreneurs, technology, and venture capital. Now, he covers all the ways upstart businesses get their money.

Bookleggers (NOT Bootleggers!) offers 4th, 5th, & 6th graders a smorgasbord of books to tempt their reading appetites.
The Bookleggers (Waukesha Public Library children's staff) can be booked to go out to classrooms in area schools (or scout meetings or afterschool programs, etc.) to booktalk choice books for kids; a "booktalk" being a short, engaging "advertisement" for a good read!
To schedule a Booklegger visit to your classroom or group meeting, please call the Waukesha Public Library's Children's Desk at 262-524-3692.
Bookleggers is based on the simple fact that The More You Read, The Better You Read! Children, just like adults, will choose what they are familiar with. We're offering kids the chance to get to know a variety of books at their reading level, to hear about the books from people who know and love books and reading. Then the kids will have a reading shopping list they are excited about the next time they visit their school or public library.
Since our goal is encouraging children to enjoy reading as a leisure time activity, Bookleggers is designed as backup to the instruction and reading promotion that the classroom teachers and school librarians already offer.

The Miseducation Years
Meet Ross O'Carroll-Kelly, the eighteen-year-old self-consumed, goal-kicking star of Castlerock College, who is struggling to cope with stardom in the face of a raging creatine addiction, a newspaper of record that can't spell his name and a battalion of female admirers, led by Sorcha, his on-again, off-again girlfriend. Buckle up as the Celtic Tiger's first son takes you on a Golf GTI ride through the new Ireland and the casual hedonism, outrageous privilege and moral entropy that make up his world.
"I cannot resist picking him up, yet, more than any other man, he sets my teeth on edge. Our rendezvous every Sunday morning is beset with mixed emotions, yet a week is too long apart. His warped charm leaves me simultaneously seething and smirking... Brace yourselves for the ride."
Irish Examiner
"Devious and amusing... remarkably close to reality."
Irish Times
"In Ross, Paul Howard has created a marvel. Every detail of the life of this buffoon has been gleaned from the terraces of rugby clubs in Dublin's southside, from coffee shops in the 'burbs and of course the assembly halls of schools from Blackrock to Mount Anville... It's Bridget Jones meets Adrian Mole meets Dublin Four. A potent mix, superbly executed by Howard."

Lawrence Leonardi's reviews
Leigh Farm Park › August 11, 2013
Great Course, fun to play two courses in a combined layout that splits at hole #3. This is a must play if you are ever in the Raleigh-Durham area. Just make sure to stay on the fairways and bring plenty of TICK REPELLENT!
Blue Heron Park and Wetlands › July 18, 2013
Nice beginner course with plenty of OB and lost disc opportunities, but not many risk reward shots.
Beautiful and accurate tee signs, course is easy to follow when playing for the first time.
Beautiful and accurate tee signs, course is easy to follow when playing for the first time.
Lemon Lake County Park › Gold › July 17, 2013
I like the course overall, but with the lack of signs and needing to walk every hole before throwing it to see where the basket position is gets to be a little much. Also it is a little difficult to find the course once in the park. Better Signage and this course would be A- status.
Andrews University › January 26, 2013
Course is hard to follow, many long walks, some tee shots that make you say wtf was the designer thinking. Lots of potential for great course if redesigned.
Seymour Lake Park › April 23, 2012
This is a Beautiful course! Great mix of shots, Playable for all skill levels and easy to navigate. If you are going to be in the area this is a MUST PLAY!
Bowling Green Technical College › April 7, 2011
Great layout, will be a great course once it beats in and grows in a little bit... Watch out for the squirrels and hawthorns.

I love children's books, and perhaps spend too much money on them. When today's New York Times featured an article about a controversial Newberry-winning book, I had to order it. The Higher Power of Lucky is about a 10 year old girl who's mother passed away. The controversy appears on the first page when Lucky's dog is bit by a rattlesnake in the scrotum. Librarians across the country have decided to ban the book based on the use of the word scrotum. The NY Times writes, "The inclusion of the word has shocked some school librarians, who have pledged to ban the book from elementary schools, and reopened the debate over what constitutes acceptable content in children's books." The author of The Higher Power of Lucky Susan Pantry, who is also a public librarian, comments on her use of the word scrotum,"The word is just so delicious. The sound of the word to Lucky is so evocative. It's one of those words that's so interesting because of the sound of the word." I'm not sure I agree with the description of the word as "delicious"; however, I do not find it offensive (and I hope Eco Child's Play readers don't either). Personally, I think children should be taught the correct name for their body parts, including their genitals. We have never used cutesy names for our children's genitals. In fact, vagina became a speech articulation lesson for my daughter who struggled with the difference between /b/ and /v/. She called it her "bagina". Scrotum is not a word we have taught our children yet (but will as soon as our copy of The Higher Power of Lucky arrives). We'll let our readers know what we think of this Newberry winner, once we've had a chance to read it to our children.

N.D. dairy business gets milked dry by low prices, other factorsIn the midst of what have been good years in agriculture generally this decade, the dairy business in North Dakota has nearly nose-dived. The number of dairy cows in the state is down 60 percent in the past 10 years alone, going from about 50,000 in 2000 to only 21,000 milking cows this month, falling 4,000 in just the past year, according to a U.S. Department of Agriculture report Friday.

Vibrating Furnace Charging Units are effective in reducing the chances of hazards to furnace operators faced in foundries or melting shops. With this safe automation system, the foundry men can work from a safe distance and prevent the damage arising out of molten metal splash. In addition to providing rapid and quick charging of the furnace, it also avoids the damage to furnace lining.
Working Principle:
The required amount of scrap metal is loaded into the storage hoper at the loading point. The trolley the carries the vibrating feeder along with the storage hopper to the furnace charging point. Here, the vibrating feeder is energized and the material is effectively discharged into the furnace as per the required capacity. As the metal is melted down, fresh batch of metal can be fed into the furnace thereby keeping the furnace full. The capacity of the vibrating feeder can be varied by varying the amplitude of variations. The amplitude of vibrations can be varied by adjusting the position of centrifugal weights or by using a variable frequency drive (optional). A control panel specially designed to suit individual client requirement depending on the sequence of operations required is provided.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa But for the 2008 flood, you might already be able to hike to the top of and ski down the now-218-foot-tall pile of garbage fondly called Mount Trashmore.
The landfill, officially termed Site 1 by the Cedar Rapids/Linn County Solid Waste Agency, had closed in July 2007, only to reopen in the aftermath of the June 2008 flood to take in 430,000 tons of debris from the flood and from the demolition of some 1,100 homes, 560 garages and sheds and 110 commercial properties.
The landfill now has closed again, and the Solid Waste Agency once again is imaging what the future might hold for the mountain of trash that looms along the Cedar River just southeast of downtown.
"I'm really excited about the possibilities for the public," Karmin McShane, executive director of the Solid Waste Agency, said this week. "It's a great view."
The Solid Waste Agency board of directors now has created a board committee to study the future uses for Mount Trashmore.
McShane told the board this week that 85 percent of the clay cap is installed at the top of the landfill, the piping system in the landfill to capture methane created by trash decomposition has been repaired and the sides and top of the landfill that had been reopened will be seeded in the future.
McShane said it's easy to imagine the creation of a trail to the top of the landfill, but she said such an addition won't happen immediately. The agency will need to make sure that no methane is migrating from the site and it will need to watch to see how the trash begins to settle. Much that now has been placed at the top of the landfill is heavy construction debris, which she said will contribute to settling.
Back in January 2008, City Council members Pat Shey and Tom Podzimek led a skiing outing on Mount Trashmore to emphasize what it one day might become.
Some years before, legendary Cedar Rapids Mayor Don Canney used to look out his third-floor City Hall window at Mount Trashmore and talk about how outdoor enthusiasts one day would ski down it.
The flood of 2008 put the landfill back in service and changed all that.
The mountain is now 30 feet taller than it was back when Shey and Podzimek strapped on skis with the addition of 430,000 tons of flood debris, McShane reported.
Dale Todd, a board member of the Iowa Epilepsy Foundation, sent a letter to McShane on Thursday asking when Mount Trashmore would be ready for recreational activities.
Todd said the foundation had been discussing a "thigh-burn, lung-busting Race to the Top" fundraising event with the Solid Waste Agency at the time of the 2008 flood.
"Dale has been talking about a race with the Iowa Epilepsy Foundation since the first closure," McShane said. "The good news is with the new closure we can start planning for it again."
The agency's 10-year plan calls for the area around the base of the landfill to continue to be used for the agency's compost operation and to provide a drop-off facility for recyclables.
For many years, the agency will tend to the landfill, evening out places as garbage continues to decompose and the landfill settles. It's expected to lose about 30 feet in height over time, the agency has said.

It was definitely historic. And it was definitely momentous. But the vote on the gay marriage Bill has ripples beyond the issue itself - chiefly, where it leaves David Cameron and the the Conservative party.
For the Prime Minister, the vote represented an important step forward for the country.
More than that, he sees it as an important step forward for his party, a further example of its abilty to modernise and move with the times. Not only that but it is a visible commitment to equality and social reform for a party that has often suffered from its image as one resistant to changing mores in society.
To his detractors, pushing through with a Bill that was not part of the coalition programme and was seen as an attack on the party's traditional values was a mistake. Among the many MPs from his party who opposed gay marriage were nine from Kent, who articulated their opposition in some interesting, not to say controversial ways.
The risk to the Conservatives is that this is an issue which has the potential to be as divisive as Europe, although in this case it pitches traditionalists against modernisers rather than Euro-sceptics against Euro-enthusiasts. In Kent, it was interesting to see that those opposed were not just some of the county's elder stateseman but a number elected at the last election.
At the same time, those in favour included some of the county's youngest MPs - as well as those MPs with jobs in government. Speaking to MPs on both sides of the argument, one thing struck me. Those against often remarked that they were responding to a groundswell of opposition among constituents as well as their own principles; those in favour said they had had relatively little correspondence on the matter and couldn't really see what the fuss was about.
The reality is probably somewhere in between. David Cameron has had a bruising encounter with some in his party but it is not one which will necessarily do him long term damage. Yes, his party is nursing a few sores and there are bound to be a few scraps along the way.
But he will take the view that backing gay marriage will help position the party in the all important centre ground.Which is generally where elections are won and lost.
Police commissioner Ann Barnes had her first appearance before the new Kent and Medway Crime Panel this week. This is the cross-party committee that has the job of holding the commissioner to account for her decisions and actions, so it is quite important as a public watchdog.
It was not exactly gladitorial or adverserial and it is not surprising, given that It was the commissioner's first appearance - and the committee's first real go at asking her questions. It had the feeling of one of those "friendly" cricket matches Test teams have before the real action gets underway when both sides are feeling their way into form.
There was some gentle pressing of the commissioner's plans for 60 new PCSOs and how she could justify the increased police precept of 2% to pay for it but the questioning was generally fairly light in tone, not least because there seemed general unanimity that the extra posts were a good thing.
Mrs Barnes dealt pretty deftly with most things thrown at her and used her appearance to "announce" plans to recruit a new youth police commissioner, a bit of canny PR. She was in characteristically forthright mode when she was challenged over her plans for "mobile" police stations. Told the plans were "woolly" she bridled: "I don't do woolly." Neither does she do "gobbledegook." The committee may need to toughen up a bit over time.
There was one issue that might have got an airing but was singularly ignored and that was the commissioner's decision to give jobs to two of her key election campaign lieutenants to her team. I gather there was some discussion before the meeting among Tory members about whether to raise the subject but they decided against - feeling that the decision was a fait accompli and there was not much to be gained at this stage.
Sources report that the feeling was that there will be further opportunities down the line. It's known as keeping your powder dry.

Long time fan, first time posting.
Just wanted to start out and say how much I really like how well crafted this game is. It's been a longggg time since I've played a licensed game that actually feels fun to play and is consistently funny throughout. That being said, I cannot help but praise this game to everyone who is under the stigma that "it can't be a good game because its based on a 'cartoon'".
A buddy of mine (who loves South Park, maybe even more than me) has been playing this game and is saying how it is NOT worth 60 bucks and the entire game could have been made in Adobe Flash. (He is a kind of a freshly graduated programmer). To me, most games are not worth 60 bucks in my mind but i argue that since most triple A titles come out as 60 this is as good as any to be worth that price. (especially how many terrible games that have come out that start at 60). I don't understand programming all that much but i feel as though calling this game a "flash game" ..well that just doesn't seem right.
Also he actually likes this game, he just thinks that it should have been a 20 dollar game instead of a 60 and that it could have been made in Flash.
What do you guys think?

Piracy jitters have caused yet another international search for a catamaran in the west Indian Ocean, but the search was successful, locating the yacht before it arrived at its destination. The yacht had merely had 'engine problems and bad weather.'
Dandelion and skipper John Sergel
While an multinational search had been launched to find the South African yacht feared to have been captured by pirates, its Durban skipper Josh Sergel, had no idea that the bad weather and engine problems which delayed his passage to Mozambique had left his loved ones fearing the worst.
'I am shocked to hear the news,' Sergel said on Monday when told of the worry back home.
By late Monday afternoon, he and the six others aboard the Dandelion – five friends and a crewman – were navigating the final stretch from Mayotte to Pemba in northern Mozambique.
Beeld newspaper had reported that the EU's anti-piracy task force had been dispatched to search for the vessel when communication ceased on Tuesday evening, and it failed to arrive as scheduled in Pemba by Friday.
The SAS Drakensberg was also tasked with helping in the search.
An EU aircraft made radio contact with the yacht on Monday morning, spokeswoman Jacqueline Sherriff said.
Before word spread that the Dandelion had not fallen prey to pirates, Sergel's friend Leo Kroone told local media outlets he was 'a wreck' and feared that the crew and passengers had been taken hostage like Durban couple Bruno Pelizzari and Debbie Calitz, who remain captive in Somalia after more than 500 days.
Kroone said Sergel was due to fly to Durban from Pemba in time for his 58th birthday on Saturday, and his friends and family had believed that something was amiss when they were unable to reach him.
Late on Monday afternoon a relieved Kroone said he had spoken to Sergel, who was unaware of the fuss.
Officials at the French and US embassies and the SA Maritime Safety Authority said that the Dandelion – a four-cabin Leopard 47 catamaran – had had mechanical problems. Rudi Franck, an acquaintance of Sergel's in Pemba, said the yacht's starter engine had acted up, but that the skipper had told him the wind had also slowed them down considerably.
'We did have motor problems, but it is a yacht,' Sergel said last night, explaining that strong wind had delayed their arrival in Mozambique.
At 7pm, he estimated there was an hour to go before dropping anchor in Pemba.
Asked why radio communication from and to the Dandelion had ceased, Sergel said: 'We tried the SSB radio (single side band radio), but all I heard was Chinese!'
Sergel said his cellphone and those of his passengers had been out of network range, as had been the VHF radio.

My Father
Even in his absence, my whole life has been underscored by a love of trains and the smell of paint and wood putty.
My father did not work on the railroad; he managed a store for Dean & Barry. When he wasn't at the store, he was renovating our old house from top to bottom. I remember the paint buckets, the wallpaper and the drop cloths. And everywhere he went, the smell of wood putty.
He kept an electric train track in our basement. I guess that was a nod to his father and grandfather who were both conductors for the New York Central. My parents divorced and I never got a chance to ask him. When I was 3 years old I remember sitting at the top of freshly-painted stairs looking down at him and the train going around the track. I remember him looking back, first surprised to see me there and then waiting for me to speak. I don't remember having anything to say. I just wanted to watch what he was doing.
Some years after he died, I was in my workshop, building a table, when I suddenly felt his presence beside me. He didn't say anything. He didn't tell me I was doing it wrong. He didn't even say he liked it. He just wanted to watch what I was doing.
