' 'v. - ,r in Hotel Utah in Salt Lake City. They were the first group of students to attend convention from Weber College, and were cordially welcomed by all other nursing students and nurse associations. The students were invited to attend two sessions during the day. The purpose of the first meeting was to acquaint them with the sundry nursing organizations and their officers. Each committee was -.j given a chance to report activities of the previous year. In the afternoon the second session was held for all nursing students from the different schools in Utah. Elections were held to elect the student officers for the coming year. A program wajS presented which was - climaxed by each school singing their respective songs. At the same time the Utah State League of Nursing met and a panel discussion was presented by Weber College. The panel members consisted of: Miss Terry Hea-ton, president of student nurses; Dr. Sheldon P. Hayes, director of the department of Life Science; Mrs. Melba J. Lehner, director of Home Economics Department; Dr. Bas'l C. Hansen from the Social Science Department; Mrs. Marjo-rie Somers, two-year nursing instructor; Mr. H. Paul Huish, representative of the Physical Science Department, and Mr. Lawrence C. Evans from the Department of Humanities. The panel was introduced by Mrs. Ruth P. Stewert, director of the Nursing Program. 7 K alumni president, Julian R. Stephens around the new campus. Anything Goes Send Your Problems By SIG PONT With this issue, kiddies, the Signpost starts a new column. The idea of this column is to hand out j motherly advice to girls and "boys who need it, all the way from how to get more money out of the old man to the art of snagging that boy with the red convertible.So, if any of you cats have any problems of this kind or any other nature, write them on any old piece of parchment that happens to be lying around and take it to the treasurer's office, or address it to Anything Goes, co Signpost, Weber College, and drop it in the nearest mailbox. (The one on the corner of 25th and Jefferson will probably get it here the fastest). Also included in the column from time to time will be bits of scandal picked up around the cam- ipus (so watch yourself) and this i reporter's analysis of the various subjects. The column is primarily intended for those on the campus who are able to read, but we hope that others will attain some small enjoyment when having it read to them. Since this is the first number, we don't have any letters to answer, so I dug up a couple of things which I hope will serve as an adequate substitute. It seems for about three days running uproarious laughter was heard emanating from the 9 a.m. Philosophy class. Investigation revealed that the reason was the name of Marilyn Monroe had been mentioned in the discussion not infrequently. Now there are those who maintain that Marilyn Monroe is not a laughing matter. This reporter wonders just what the NOVEMBER 13, 1953 OGDEX, UTAH ''V ' V 4 V ' i- V V TY i" To "Daddy" connection would be. We would like to ask Jim Anderson "Just how Philosophical can you get?" We shall now take up that fabulous phenomeon which we blandly call the "joke" that the professor inserts in the middle of his lecture. The reader will notice that the professor invariably receives a hearty laugh from the class whether it is appropriate or not. Thi" reporter has deduced that the laughter falls into four cate gories: (1) the professor laughs for obvious reasons; (2) at least two members of the class laugh I because ..they don't know that it : ii c fH nf V, 1511 I lUllliy, lO) UllC-Ildll KJL Lilt class laughs because they think the professor should get something for trying; and (4) the rest of the class laughs because the others look so funny trying to assume a forced laugh. Recommendation: A new edition of the Professor's Joke Book. Well, little ones, that does it for this edition. Don't forget to send in your problems according to the above directions or you will have to live with this stuff . for the whole year. This is living? Today's Events 11:00 a.m. Alumni assembly8:00 p.m. Varsity show Saturday 11:00 a.m. Snake dance and pep rally 1:30 p.m. Game with U.-S. A. C. Freshmen4:00 p.m. Matinee Dance and Reception 8:30 p.m. "I Remember-Mama" Assembly To "Roast" Four Year Schools By GEORGE DAVL ANTES "Rally Around Weber," is the theme for this year's homecoming activities which began today. Julian R. Stephens, alumni president, and Farrell Collett, general chairman, announced that a full slate of festivities have been planned for this year's homecoming. Homecoming activities will commence this morning at 11:00 in the auditorium with the presentation of the annual alumni assembly. Julian R. Stephens will be M. C. of the program. ; "The Varsity Vignettes," a student assembly, will be presented tonight at 8:00 in the Ogden High School auditorium. The assembly will last approximately two hours, and it promises to be full of laughs. A cast of nearly 100 will perform 20 acts during the show. A large crowd is anticipated to support this homecoming event, and the speech department would like it to be known that no admission will be charged and no seats are reserved. yA few hints concerning the theme of the assembly are the words "Creeping Weberism." Weber actors will portray the presidents of some of the Utah colleges and universities, and quoting John Kelly "we are going to roast the 4-ycar schools." Performing on the assembly will be: The Men's Glee Club, The Voci Coeds, The Weber Dance Band, The Musettes, Ann and Jean Nebeker, The Weber Ballet Corps, Carol Smith, Keith Knighton, Janet Waldron, Brent Heninger, Su- zy Allen, The Majorets, Carol Fay Farnsworth, Carol Jensen, Shirley Snow, The Girls' Quartet, and Mark Wood. The script was written by Wayne Carver, and is under the direction of John Kelly, Glen L. Hansen, and Colleen Miller. Saturday's activities will start off with a bang. Students are asked to meet at 23rd and Washington Blvd. before 11:00, where they will form a snake dance and then cheer and dance to the front of the municipal building, where the annual pep rally will start at 11:00. Homecoming activities will come to a climax Saturday at 1:30 wh?n the Weber Wildcats clash with the U.S.A.C. frosh. Halftime activities will feature eight minutes of fun. A reception and a matinee dance will be held in the Gym building, beginning at 4 p.m. ' The last attraction on the homecoming program will be the University of Utah's play "I Remember Mama." The play will be presented Saturday night at 8:30 in the Ogden High School auditorium. The play is a comedy, and it stars a well-known alumnus of Weber, Lila Eccles Brimhall. Four committees, headed by Farrell Collett, John Kelly, Paul H. Huish, and Jay Olson have combined their efforts to make this year's homecoming a success. Have You Had Your Picture Taken? Xumber 3 YEARBOOK? $64 QUERY A yearbook with all the trimmings, including hard cover, high quality prints and paper, has been the proposal facing the board Uf control the past few weeks. At a conference of Junior college student body officers held in Phoenix, Arizona, last summer, John Elzey, student prexey, reports that a great majority of the colleges represented have found ways to produce very nice yearbooks. Other officers were "amazed" to find that a college with Weber's size and rating did not have a yearbook. By acquiring six hundred dollars from the Scribulus fund and charging four dollars per book, an estimated $2600 could be raised toward paying the total cost of about $3200. The $600 balance could be supplemented by the use of ads, the selling of additional copies more than the estimated number of five hundred, or, it was suggested by Fred Rabe, head of the photography department, that we sell individual yearbook pictures to students at fifty cents each. "Certainly a Weber College yearbook would seem to be in reach at this price," was Dr. Clarke's expression to the proposal. Dr. Clarke was surprised to find that a yearbook of high quality, could be made available at such a low price. The book, if published, would be the first since 1948. J. R. Foulger reported that due to extremely high priced plates, paper and cover, a loss of approximately $3,000 stopped publication of that type of yearbook. With new methods of printing, a plan has been devised to eliminate most of the expense involved in the old publication, and opens the way to a permanent annual yearbook with approximately 100 pages. The tentative, plans will depend on what develops in the next few weeks, concerning all the proposals' for publication, finances, etc. A committee headed by Myrna Larsen, student bodyvice-president, is already hard at work on the plans. An echoed opinion of the board, was that "without the support of all the students the yearbook will remain just a plan, how about it? Beautiful Girls Vie for Title Homecoming Queen elections began Monday, Nov. 9 with a large list of lovely ladies in line for the honors. The crown will go to one of the following: Evelyn Beiler, Jean Bingham, Jackie Collins, Kathy Coop, Donna Endrizzi, Holly K. Granville, Geri Harbertson, Marilyn Henrie, Ann Howell, Marilyn Johns, Judy Johnston, Ann Knight, Laree Lamborn, Vivian Peet, Carol Vee Robinson, Connie Sipherd. Final elections were held Tuesday, Nov. 10, and the lucky lady will be "first" lady for the homecoming activities.
Object Description
|Signpost (Weber, Utah), 1953-11-13, Vol. 17, No. 3
|Weber College
|Associated Students of Weber College; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Working out with the Team
How much do I have to practice?
No team practices are mandatory. Based off how competitive you are, you will practice six (first-year triathletes) to 13 (Nationals champion contender) times a week. Ultimately, you will get as much out of the team as you put in.
I am not that fast in a couple of the sports, should I still come to those practices?
Yes! Practices are designed to accommodate athletes of all interest and skill levels. Consistency across all the sports is an important part of the sport.
How hard are the workouts?
Practices are broken up into three groups based on distance and skill level. Green group is our beginner group, white is intermediate, and gold is advanced. We recommend that if it is your first time practicing with the team that you start in green, as you can always move up at your next practice.

Each year the team allows everyone two weeks to try things out at no cost, after that you get to choose if you want to keep doing triathlon or not.
General Triathlon Questions
How long is a triathlon usually?
The majority of the races that the team competes in are Sprint and Olympic distance races, which generally have finishing times between one and three hours. Olympic Distance triathlons are made up of a 1500m swim, 40km (24.8mi) bike, and 10km (6.2mi) run. Sprint Race distances are at most half the distance of an Olympic race.

It was a matchup that heavily favored the defending champion Oakland Athletics. Four games later, the Reds swept the star-laden A's to become World Champions.
The Nasty Boys were key figures in the Reds' charge to the 1990 World Championship. Relief pitchers Randy Myers, Rob Dibble and Norm Charlton – collectively known as the Nasty Boys – proved to be a deadly combination in the bullpen.
It's been nearly 25-years since the three played together. Since the 1990 season, the Nasty Boys have made few appearances. On Wednesday, the trio reunited at LaSalle High School.
"Any time that Norm, Randy and I get together, especially as we get along in the years, it's cool just to hang out and go over stuff," says Rob Dibble. "You kind of forget a lot of the cool stuff that we did besides winning a championship."
Together, the Nasty Boys discussed what made that 1990 team so great. Dibble attributes the team's success to a sense of family in the dugout.
"Maybe there were more superstars on the Oakland A's or the Pittsburgh Pirates, but they weren't the same kind of family that we were," explains Dibble. "Most of us were home-grown guys. Most of us came up through the organization. We knew very well of the Big Red Machine and we had to prove ourselves."
Randy Myers says much of their success can be attributed to the trio's ability to step up in any given situation.
"We were three people that would take the ball whenever in the bullpen. We weren't afraid of any situation," says Myers.
"You don't want to be the weak link," adds Dibble. "You don't want to face those guys who are your family in the clubhouse. That's what made us better."
Norm Charlton credits their pitching style.
"We pitched inside and pitched inside with a vengeance," says Charlton. "That's the way the game was played back then."
Together, the Nasty Boys pitched 8.75 innings in the 1990 World Series. They gave up zero earned runs on six hits. Dibble and Myers were named 1990 NLCS Most Valuable players for their contribution in the bullpen.
Following the 1990 season, the Nasty Boys went their separate ways. Dibble remained with the Reds through 1993. After floating around to several different clubs, Dibble made his way to the broadcast booth. In 1991, the Reds tried Myers as a starter which proved unsuccessful. Myers left the Reds the following year. Charlton stayed with the Reds through 1992.

Virtually everyone takes medications at some point in his or her life. Most of us rely on drugs, whether prescription or over-the-counter, to help us with health issues large and small. The pharmaceutical industry is a half-trillion dollar industry that is heavily regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
As consumers, we rely on the FDA to make sure the drugs we take are safe. But once in a while, something goes wrong. In some cases, a drug hits the market that fails to carry with it a warning of any number of potential dangers:
Asia's largest drug maker, Takeda Pharmaceutical Co., is currently embroiled in a huge lawsuit involving the alleged side effects of Actos, a popular diabetes medication. Last June, the FDA reported that long-term Actos users are at an increased risk for developing bladder cancer. An Actos recall was issued in Germany and France, but the drug has not been recalled in the United States.
In recent months, thousands of plaintiffs have sued Takeda claiming the company withheld information about the risk of bladder cancer and failed to provide adequate warnings to consumers. In fact, so many lawsuits were filed that last week a government panel ordered that many of the lawsuits against Actos be consolidated and centralized in Louisiana to promote the efficient conduct of the litigation.
The Actos case is just one of several current cases involving popular medications.
"No one is suggesting that Big Pharma is trying to hurt anyone. But breakdowns occur, sometimes in the science and sometimes in informing consumers of the risks associated with their drugs," says attorney Martin Sweet of legal information website THELAW.TV ( http://www.thelaw.tv).
"Consumers fighting these cases together with other similar victims is sometimes the best way to resolve litigation," explains Houston, Texas Pharmaceutical Liability Lawyer Sean Tracey of the Tracey Law Firm ( http://thelaw.tv/houston/firm/tracey). "The pharma industry understands the science and the regulatory environment and can overwhelm one victim, but when banding together we become harder to ignore".
Currently, there are lawsuits pending against the makers of various antidepressants known as SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), including Zoloft, Paxil, Celexa and Lexapro. Studies have linked these antidepressants to serious birth defects.
"And we will hear about more drug-related lawsuits in the coming years," adds Sweet.
If you believe taking one of these medications has led to serious health issues for you or your child, you should consult an attorney who specializes in pharmaceutical cases and who can advise you whether you might be entitled to compensation. Understanding the complex nature of pharmaceutical lawsuits can be challenging for consumers, but you don't have to go at it alone.

HARRISONBURG, Va. -- People across the country honored Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s legacy on Monday through a national day of service. In Virginia, Governor Bob McDonnell issued a proclamation for the holiday.
The governor called Dr. King an iconic leader who continues to live in peoples' hearts. In the proclamation, he said that Dr. King sacrificed his life to spread of message of justice and equality.
A few Valley neighbors described how they will remember Dr. King.
"I think he's done a lot for this country," said Abe Rittenhouse, "He's an eloquent speech person and seemed to live a good life."
Another neighbor said Martin Luther King, Jr. Day wasn't as big of a celebration for her.
"I'm sure it is a reckoning to deal with because of the progress he brought about for the African-Americans, but it wasn't really such a big celebration for us. It was just another day," said Linda North.
As a pastor, Dr. King preached about empowerment and equality for all races. He was there to help lead sanitation workers in a protest.
He focused on fighting poverty, just months before his assassination. He was shot in Memphis, Tenn. in 1968.

an undergraduate student,
This conversation is closed.
How would you feel if the government carried out a serious ban on guns?
Here in China, the government doesn't allow the free gun sales and the man who want to have his gun (usully for protecting the forest or animals) legally must have the arm licence which is also hard to obtain.
But I hear about that in many other countries ,any adult can buy guns freely just as biscuits.But as you all know, terrible shooting accidents are happening now and then.
Does your government start to draw out decrees over gun control or gun ban?How do you feel if the government carry it out seriously? I just want to know your true feeling without any offence.Thank you!
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Frank Barry 30+Jun 29 2013: Billy Zhang,
The government should ban the research, development, manufacture and use of guns,
and all weapons that kill and main humans and innocent animals.
These are my true feelings.
My feelings are not reality.
They are but a dream. A dream --
I was born into a time of war. As I grew I discovered that the government that
I was taught to swear allegiance to each morning in a school room, was evil.
It didn't take long to realize.
I found out that the Sunday Funnies in the newspapers were propaganda
for evil government. My Dad read my favorites, Terry and the Pirates,
which became Terry and the Flying Tigers, and as the wars changed
the P-57s became F80's and F86's, while the enemies changed from being
Japs to Gooks. Evil government, supported by it's own evil news print media.
I could take you all through the years and depict the changes in own evil government
as they continue to do war year after year, never ending the killing and maiming of
innocent men, women, and wee children. But, you folks don't want to hear about the
bad things that need changing. It is so much easier to let it go. Have a cappuccino.
The reality is --
Our evil government is the world's leader in the manufacture and sales of
deadly weapons, and deadly weapons of mass destruction. They provide
deadly weapons to overthrow other evil governments that can then install
new evil ones. A never ending story. Iraq is a fine example. Afghanistan too,
and 50 more before and since WW2.
Who gets the "spoils of war". Spoils are what wars are all about, --
Who gets the Gold, Oil, Money? The answer is, -- Who financed the war,
The Banks !!!
There is no Trickle-Down. The evil government doesn't share spoils with you.
So, if the evil government takes your guns, and has all the money already... hmmm
Regardless of my feelings, you might want to hang on to your guns.
Billy ZhangJun 30 2013: Confronted with a world filled with undying wars, cold or hot, it seem that owning powerful weapons which threaten the peace is just the way to defend the peace. What a contadiction!
How I wish that there would be no war around the world and maybe it's just impractical.
Thank you for sharing your feeling with us, Frank!
May God bless you!
Jun 30 2013: Billy, I fear writing this answer may not be practical.
I wonder why, with the proliferation of so many nuclear weapons,
the strongest government has not been challenged.
Were I the head of the strongest government,
I would reside in a bunker,
a deep one.
But then, I am proud to be a coward. lol
The seat of any government is no match today for the weapons manufactured
and sold on the world's war marketplace.
Someone, some government, somewhere is bound to slip up and push a deadly
button. After governments build and/acquire these mass killing machines, what
do they do? Catch-22.
Jun 30 2013: Frank, there are two ways to deal with evil in the world. You can either go unarmed, and be a victim, or you can arm yourself and fight back. Bullets are a matter of physics and reality. You cannot fight them with hopes and dreams of a utopia. Once you become Neo from the Matrix you can control the world with your mind, and not need weapons. But in the real world, you need a gun to protect yourself from armed criminals. Wishing they didn't have anywhere to get guns is not going to help you or anyone else.
Jun 30 2013: Clay, First of all you are right. Keep your guns.
They can be dangerous to innocents and wee children, but they are necessary.
My motive is not utopia, but to let a little bit of light shine on evil.
Evil does exist. We do not want to admit it. Far-fetched, but it exists.
Wrap your mind around not a dream but a reality --
Democrats and Republicans ( 2 parties sharing government )
The DNC and RNC use paid psychologists to assess, understand and
solve the problems of how to select and get a politician elected to office.
Nothing illegal about that.
Also using paid scientific research related to the manipulation of mental
processes and behaviors of voters, and the controlling of the three media
outlets, print, audio, and video, through payment to them of vast advertising
dollars milked from unions, corporations, and individuals.
Nothing illegal about that.
Neo from the Matrix?
NAW just the Democrats and Republicans sharing control of our evil government.
Nothing illegal about that.
Unless you consider the evil results.
Jun 30 2013: Yeah, our foundingn fathers tried to create a system to empower the citizenry and stop governments from being able to control people, and take away their rights. Yet, since 1776 the government has managed to control every aspect of our lives, tax everything that exists, and now it wants to disarm us completely (10 round mag IS complete disarming if you ask me), tell us how to act, even to the point of "thought crimes" (hate crimes), and spy on our every move. That's total powerlessness and control. Our founding fathers would be shocked at how our rights have been eroded over these 200 years.
Jun 30 2013: Frank I must agree with the fact that our government has lied swindled and killed to put money in the hands of the banks that fund them. War is good for Banks. because Governments begin taking loans out.
courupt? yes which Is why the Rockefeller family made oil additives for Germany, during WWII. Their plans couldn't fly without the stuff. we made it they bought it. But taking a citizens gun away is no way to prevent war. infact.... it would give other countries an extra reason to invade. (not that I expect any invasions) But in the event that we we're invaded it wouldn't be a lousy 3.5 million man army they were facing (which is still smaller than the army Germany invaded Poland with) they would have 150 million armed citizens fighting on every street corner. fighting invaders every step of the way. Any country that de-arms their citizens has a sinister plan for their own people in the works.
Jun 30 2013: Zachariah, I agree with you fully.
We all know our government is corrupt, in many many ways.
Our government must know it also. But no one says a word.
Now come the Whistle-Blowers. Our "well know to be corrupt"
Washington DC leaders sic the dogs on them. But no one says a word.
Other newspapers around the world pick up on the Whistle-Blower's
agony. They tell what is happening, and only then do our own. controlled
content. White House hand-out, newspapers start to bark.
The Washington DC leaders can buy Ecuadorian support by giving
monetary support in a number of ways. The pressure must be intense
for Ecuador. Washington DC wants Assaunge also.
A squeak is heard yesterday from the Monterey Herald. Seems that the
Defense Dept employees at the Presidio are being hindered in their use
of the internet. This is not the first time. Restrictions of Websites they can
visit, etc. Just like the Chinese. What in the world is going on?
Will civilian Internet be restricted next?

Death Comes to Pemberley
by P. D. James
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
SO disappointing! I've deliberately been avoiding reading the many, many new authors who have picked up Jane Austen's characters and launched them into new adventures. Why? Because it's NOT the characters (at least not taken on their own strength) that make Jane Austen novels so memorable, it's Austen's storytelling prowess and subtle wit - which, if they were so easy to duplicate/imitate, would scarcely explain why the author remains so admired today. However, I was tempted into setting aside my misgivings by the prospect of an Austen mystery written by an author with proven mystery chops. Maybe, I thought, the diversion of a good mystery plot would distract my attention from any potential lapses in technique or wit.
The story picks up six years after the marriage of Elizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy, whose highly-entertaining courtship is described in Pride & Prejudice. The plot revolves around Lydia's rogue of a husband, Wickham, who finds himself accused of murder after being present (albeit hopelessly drunk) at the bludgeoning death of a fellow soldier on the Pemberley estate.
Alas, the mystery plot never becomes remotely interesting, which caused me to shift my focus to the storytelling, which doesn't stand up to scrutiny either. I simply don't understand how a writer as competent as James could have committed so many basic storytelling errors: abandoning a major character (Lydia) half-way through the novel; creating a mystery with a resolution that is revealed not through investigation or cleverness but through improbable chance/coincidence; retelling items of plot over and over again (first we hear the info from Elizabeth, then she retells the tale to Jane, then the whole tale gets repeated AGAIN at the inquest ... sheesh!); and, finally, wrapping up the novel with an epilogue that unnecessarily rehashes an episode from Pride & Prejudice that was satisfactorily resolved in the original text and certainly in no need of rehashing here.
Also didn't appreciate inconsistencies in characterization (where has Elizabeth's sardonic wit disappeared to? where has Darcy's haughtiness gone?) or James' attempt to "update" Austen's storytelling by having her characters explicitly discuss their feelings/emotions rather than leaving it to us readers to infer them. This sequel doesn't begin to live up to the subtlety or wit of Austen's original text.
In short, I've learned my lesson: there's only one Jane Austen, and she died in 1817. In future I'll be more disciplined about giving these Austen pastiches a miss.
Wanted to read this because it's going to be a Masterpiece Theater presentation. Elizabeth and Darcy are married with two young boys and on the eve of Lady Ann's Ball at Pemberley there is a murder on the woodland grounds of their home. Lydia arrives alone during a storm hysterically saying her husband, Wickham, could be shot in the woods and the men should go search. Wickham is not "received" at Pemberley. It's still all about Pride and Prejudice and properly doing the right thing in the early 1800s. It seems a little repetitive in that the characters talked among themselves and then the story was told again in courtroom.
Good story with the main characters from Pride and Prejudice involved in a murder mystery close to home. I found it to be very well written with great character development. Jane Austen would be proud of her characters in this setting. Well done PD James.
I don't remember being too terribly impressed with the crafting of this story: a bit over-done, but a good mystery. Miniseries looks really good though...
I will start out by saying that I am NOT a Jane Austen fanatic. I have read "Pride and Prejudice" and enjoyed it, but I do not live and die by her works.
So this book didn't hurt my feelings like it seems to have done for so many others. Yes, this book lacked the depth of characters seen in P&P, and the mystery was sort of looking the reader in the face, but it was not a complete loss. It was a fluff read. Nothing challenging, no heavy lifting, just something to attempt to take us back to the day of hack-chaises and a rather lackluster law system.
Did it keep me up at night? No, and that's sad.
Did it make me want to beat my head off the wall out of frustration? No! So, really it's not a total loss.
. . . an excellent period mystery, replete with all manner of mayhem, and a most welcome way to revisit Elizabeth and Darcy. . .

WAUSAU, Wis (WSAU) Wausau police chief Jeff Hardel has been on medical leave for nearly a month. WAOW-TV reports he's been hospitalized and is slowly recovering from a rare, serious illness. Exactly what it is hasn't been made public.
Hardel told the TV station that it took a long time for doctors to make a correct diagnosis, and now he's in the middle of a long recovery. He says his condition is improving, and that he hopes to return to the office for a half-day tomorrow. He'll work half-days as he regains his strength.
The department has been run day-to-day by police captains Ben Blevin and Greg Hagenbucher.

"Wow" Breasts in 3 Easy Steps
Pro Advice
Healthy -- and beautiful. Isn't that what we all want? Follow this pro advice:
1. Clear up breakouts. "Your decolletage has as many oil glands as your face," says Arielle Kauvar, MD, a dermatologist in New York City. Once a day, use an anti-acne body wash that contains 5 percent benzoyl peroxide (try Peter Thomas Roth Medicated BPO 5% Acne Wash, $32, sephora.com) to unclog pores, followed by a light moisturizing lotion. And take special care while working out. "Excess sweat can exacerbate acne because oils are trapped," explains Dr. Kauvar. Wear breathable fabrics and treat areas with a 2 percent salicylic-acid body spray after exercising to keep skin bacteria-free (try Nature's Cure Body Acne Treatment Spray, $9.99, at drugstores).
2. Firm and tone. "The skin on your breasts is extra thin and prone to premature aging," says Dr. Kauvar. To maintain a smoother, younger look, apply a firming bust serum before your body cream. It contains active ingredients like antioxidants, minerals, and peptides that penetrate into the skin's deeper layers to reverse free-radical damage and boost collagen production (try Elemis Pro-Collagen Lifting Treatment Neck & Bust, $89, nordstrom.com; the kit includes a Pro-Collagen Marine Cream, and 10 percent of the proceeds go to breast cancer research).
3. Get gorgeous cleavage. "No matter what size breasts you have, a little shimmer will help enhance them," says Linda Hay, a makeup artist for Victoria's Secret, who amplifies the curves of Gisele Bundchen and Heidi Klum. Brush a shimmery bronzing powder down the center of your breasts to create a slight shadow, then sweep a silvery illuminator powder along the tops (try Too Faced After Glow Ice Cubes Body Shimmer Powder, $26, sephora.com, and Victoria's Secret Bare Bronze Sun Dust Body Powder Brush, $22, victoriassecret.com).

Part of Unit: FFA Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAE)
Lesson Plan Overview / Details
Students will be introduced to the idea of SAEs, including their purposes as well as the different types of SAEs- entrepreneurship and placement (Lesson 1 of 5 in SAE unit).
Lesson Time
- lesson time
- 60 Minutes

- ANR.FS.9.3 Understand how to organize and structure work individually and in teams for effe...
California Academic Content Standards (Reinforced)
- ELA.9-10.R.CAGT.2.5 Extend ideas presented in primary or secondary sources through original analysis...3
Objectives and Goals
- Students will describe the purpose of a Supervised Agriculture Experience (SAE) program.
- Students will differentiate between entrepreneurship and placement SAEs.
Activities in this Lesson
- One of these things is not like the others! Hooks / Set
Students will view a set of power point slides with categorical pictures and determine which of the pictures does not fit with the rest of the items. Each slide's pictures will have nearly identical qualities except for 1- which is "not like the others". Students are to record which item is not like the others and why. Then, they share out with the class. Use accompanying power point presentation. After revealing the correct answers, lead a discussion regarding "why" some things fit and others didn't. Specifically, we look at characteristics to determine what something is and what something is not. Many students have heard of "projects" or associate ag with raising animals. What is an SAE and what is not an SAE? Today's lesson will focus on determining what an SAE is, how to determine if something is or is not a valid SAE, and the local requirements for SAEs. One alternative to this activity is to show the SAE: Experience It! video from National FFA. To purchase the video, do the following: 1. Go to www.ffaunlimited.org; click "SAE" under the red "Core" category on the left-hand side. Click "SAE: Experience It!" video and purchase from there.
Resources and Materials
- One of these things- final draft [ Download ]
- What is an SAE? Lecture
Who has heard of "ag projects"? Lead a discussion about what students know regarding "Ag projects" -animals at the fair, raising a pig, having a job, growing plants, etc. Once you have their brains headed toward this "project" direction, share that the term "project" actually has a formal name- Supervised Agriculture Experience program. The next few days will allow the entire class to take what they know about "ag projects", define their characteristics, sort through what they are and what they are not and refine that knowledge into a Supervised Agriculture experience program that will set them up for success. (Distribute 1 copy of SAE note handout to each student and open SAEP power point slideshow). Instruct students that the information for their notes will come directly from the Check for questions or clarification after completing each slide. When you reach the "PAUSE HERE" slide, pause. Review the information with students using a review technique. For example, have them turn their papers over and quiz them aloud about the different pieces of information they just recorded. When that has been completed, instruct them to put away their note packets and prepare to use the information they just received.
- Battle Royale! Assessment
Now, let's see how much of that info stuck in our brains! First, have students put away everything except a pencil. Students will use this activity to apply the information they recorded from the power point presentation. Split your class into equal teams (number of teams depends on the size of your class- ideally, have 5-7 kids per team) and get them pumped for a heated battle on SAE knowledge! Next, distribute 1 blank piece of lined paper to each team. All of the information they need to complete the task will come directly from the notes they took earlier that period. It is essential to keep their thoughts and information within their group- don't let any other team hear the correct answers. Have each group write two things on their page. First, the first and last names of every member in the group. Then, number their paper from 1-5 on the left hand side, skipping a few lines between each number. Indicate that this will be a contest of smarts. For each question, the group will collaborate and determine the correct answer. Once they have everyone's agreement, they write down their answer for that question on their paper. After the entire class has gone through all 5 questions, have them put down their writing utensils. Then, share out. Have 1 member from each group stand up with the paper in their hands. Ask question #1 again to the class and get the response of each group. Have them correct as they go, putting a plus sign next to the questions they get correct. After question #1, have the standing student pass the paper to someone else in their group. That person must stand and will read their group's answer to the next question. Read question #2 and repeat this process until you finish the Battle Royale. Have students total up the number they got correct and mark it at the top. If you so choose, have them report to the entire class the number they got correct. Feel free to give a prize to the group with the most correct answers. At the conclusion of the event, have them turn in their work for assessment purposes.
- Closure Closure
Alright gang, thanks for a great start to this unit! We've thrown a lot of new words around today and new acronyms we'll be hearing for years to come! Get excited about this week- you'll become master planners for your very own SAE program that will give you so many great opportunities to succeed in agriculture education.
- Assessment Types:
- Teacher-Made Test,
Assessment will made from their responses on the Battle Royale assignment.

Widget BlockPosted by logikal16 under Plugins
No Comments
I'll make this short and sweet. Widget Block is a plugin that allows you to create new types of widgets, called Blocks. If you're familiar with Drupal, the plugin lets you treat widgets much like Drupal Blocks.
With this plugin, you can create widgets that only display on the pages you want, without needing to create many different widget regions.
All you do is enter a list of pages to include or exclude. You can use wildcards to match a certain series of posts or pages. The Widget Block plugin even supports PHP code. The plugin is meant to be simple, and I hope it saves users from having to create region after region. Hopefully something similar will make it into WordPress core.
Usage: Once you activate the plugin, go into Appearance > Widgets. You'll see a new "Block" item under "Available Widgets". Drag this item into the region of your choice. That's it!
- <front> will show the widget on the frontpage.
- about will show the widget on the About page.
- pluginblog/2009/* will show the widget on any of this site's blog posts from 2009.
- pluginblog/2009/07/* will show the widget on any of this site's blog posts from July of 2009.

LEWISBURG, Pa. — Astronomy expert Chris Impey will visit Bucknell University March 6 and 7 as a Phi Beta Scholar. He will give three talks Tuesday, March 6, all of which are free to the public.
Impey will discuss "Teaching with Electrons" at 8:15 a.m. in the Teaching and Learning Center in Bertrand Library. Focusing on the problem of engaging students in large enrollment classes, he will discuss how to use technology to reach every student in the class. Because of space limitations, please email email@example.com to reserve a seat.
Impey will give the talk, "The End of the World: Astronomy Meets Eschatology," at 4 p.m. in Olin 268. Impey will examine the 'ultimate in disaster' from an astronomer's perspective and consider the myriad ways our universe might end. "The End of the World has been discussed in various contexts ranging from the Biblical to science fiction," said Ned Ladd, associate professor of physics and astronomy at Bucknell. "Despite the rather depressing nature of the subject matter, this talk is really engaging. It addresses some of the remarkable aspects regarding the structure and evolution of our universe."
Impey will give the talk, "Cosmic Evolution: From Big Bang to Biology," at 7:30 p.m. in Olin 268. This talk will cover how the evolving universe led to the chemical ingredients of life and the planetary sites for life, and will present an estimate of the number of habitable planets in the galaxy. "The entire sweep of evolution is covered, from big bang to brains, with some amazing facts about the universe thrown in along the way," said Ladd.
A University Distinguished Professor in the department of astronomy at the University of Arizona, Impey is the recipient of 11 teaching awards . In 2002 he was named the National Science Foundation Distinguished Teaching Scholar as well as the Arizona Teacher of the Year by the Carnegie Foundation, and in 2005 he was selected a Galileo Circle Scholar, the College of Science's highest honor.
Impey created the Astronomica Web site, which provides students with interactive tools and instructional technology, and has been instrumental in curriculum development in astrobiology. His research interests are in observational cosmology, gravitational lensing, and the evolution and structure of galaxies.
The co-author of two textbooks, The Cosmic Journey and Universe Revealed, Impey serves as vice-president of the American Astronomical Society and is a member of its astronomy education board and the editorial board of Astronomy Education Review. He has been a Harlow Shapley visiting lecturer for the AAS, and in 1998 received the Slipher Award from the National Academy of Sciences.
Phi Beta Kappa is one of the nation's oldest and most prestigious undergraduate honor societies. Five students at the College of William & Mary founded Phi Beta Kappa in 1776, during the American Revolution. For over two and a quarter centuries, the Society has embraced the principles of freedom of inquiry and liberty of thought and expression. Today, the organization has more than 600,000 members in 276 chapters at the nation's premier universities.

Love theese jeans I wish they had a light color so I can get another pair. They fit great and moves with the body without feeling tight. September 3, 2014
length, knee position and color I am 5-11, 155lb generally wear a 36" inseam in jeans so they hang well with heels on. I ordered these in a 8L, not the right fit for me. If they stretched they would be too big and not quite long enough to wear with heels. I found this bootcut to be more snug than the straight cut jeans. The back of the knees in limited jeans always seem to bunch funny - I wonder if they forgot to lower the knee position in the tall sizes. The color is lighter than shown, which makes the jean a bit dated looking. If the color had been good I would have given them a try but these go back. August 22, 2014
Fit beautifully I had never tried this jean model but found they fit beautifully. I am 5'9" and mostly legs and they were perfect length. Loving them! August 7, 2014
Great Item For Curvy Girls These jeans are so comfortable and they move with me. They don't bunch and they fit like a glove, so you don't have to go a size up from what you normally wear just to accommodate your curves. the dark wash goes with so much! July 23, 2014
Tall Girl's Dream I am 6" and ordered these jeans in the Long. The length is perfect! Fit is great and flattering. April 27, 2014
Not so much. I have a few pairs of 678 jeans that I absolutely love, so I thought I would love these. Not so much. Something about them just didn't look good on. I ended up getting the 678 simply straight leg jeans... LOVE! The fabric on the two jeans mentioned are different too. Best to try on in store to see which ones you prefer. April 13, 2014
Disappointed I owned a pair of these jeans before and was very happy with them.That is why I decided to get another one. To my disappointment the quality of the denim fabric was poor. It feels too soft, too thin and too stretchy. Jeans become and feel loose after just a single wear. March 10, 2014
Enjoying my new jeans I am loving my new jeans. I have always loved jeans from Limited. Now if we could only do something about the price so I could get more than 1 pair at a time. March 6, 2014

Peter Shows Milo At TED
Today's TED talk is from Peter Molyneux, Creative director for Microsoft Game Studios Europe and famed developer of the Fable series of games. When the Microsoft's Project Natal was first announced (now called Kinect), Molyneux showed off Milo, a virtual 11 year-old boy you could interact with via Natal's unique controller-free interface. At the time, Milo's job was really to help evangelize the Natal and the potential of such an interface, but Molyneux's studio has continued to develop the software, and Milo has begun to form up as something approaching an actual product. The demo is really worth watching, partly just to see the thing in motion, but mostly to hear Molyneux talk about the bits of Milo's design (including his mind) that are literally out of the box.

The water is back on at a Phoenix apartment complex that was left high and dry by the owners, who had been skipping out on their water bill.
Friday, the owners made a partial payment on the $50,000 bill. But if they don't cough up more money, the water will be shut off again.
Today's minimum payment brings a glimmer of hope to residents, but if a good faith payment isn't made by Wednesday, they'll once again be without water by Thursday.
"Are we going to be locked out, are we going to have water, what are we going to do," wonders Tiana Sueing, tenant at Mirabella.
With questions on her mind and her young nephew in her arms, Tiana Sueing lined up with dozens of other tenants at 5 a.m. outside an abandoned leasing office.
"I mean Christmas is coming up, thanksgiving, we got turkeys to buy, it's stressful."
Sueing paid her rent through January. Now she's wondering if she'll ever see her $1,000 back -- and if she'll have to spend even more money moving to another apartment complex.
Neighborhood service counselors came out to help tenants figure out their next step if water is cut off again on the 14th.
"Some of the ways you can move forward is to terminate the lease without penalty, sue for damages, seek substitute housing or a hotel," says Sharron Sauls, City of Phoenix Neighborhood Services Landlord and Tenant counselor.
Not only is Neighborhood Services providing counseling to tenants, they're also doing an investigation on the property.
"We'll talk to residents, take a look at property and any evidence we obtain we refer to the prosecutor's office," says Patrick Ravenstein, Phoenix Neighborhood Services.
"It's almost 600 people in these apartments, I mean hopefully they'll be able to help us," says Sueing.
SK Investments LLC handles this property. We tried calling them all day and couldn't find any numbers that still work.

Hot Dog! Buns!
We had these with locally made deli hot dogs, ketchup, and relish. This could be a tall order for your ordinary bun... lots of dense, wet fillings to make it fall apart. But these buns? They stood up admirably (and then asked for more).
I am not even done being impressed with myself yet. Is that bad?
Hot Dog! Buns! (recipe and method adapted a bit from the "Bread Baker's Apprentice," by Peter Reinhart)
-4 cups unbleached bread flour
-3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
-1 1/2 teaspoons salt
-3 1/4 tablespoons sugar
-1/4 cup powdered milk
-1 large egg, lightly beaten
-3 1/4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
-2 teaspoons active dry yeast
-1 1/2 cups, plus 1-3 tablespoons water at approximately 115 degrees
-1 egg, whisked with 1 teaspoon water until frothy (for egg wash)
-Sesame or poppy seeds for garnish (optional)
1. In a large mixing bowl, mix together flours, sugar, and salt.
2. In another bowl, melt the butter. With a fork or whisk, beat in the egg. Add the dry milk and whisk until mostly smooth. Set aside.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the yeast and the warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes or until bubbly.
4. Pour the butter mixture and the proofed yeast mixture into the flour. Mix with a wooden or metal spoon until a dough forms. You may need to mix with your hands to get it all incorporated. Add the extra 1-3 tablespoons at this time if necessary to make a dough that is soft, supple, and tacky, but not sticky.
5. Sprinkle a little flour on the counter and knead for 6-8 minutes, until dough passes the windowpane test. Lightly oil a large bowl and transfer the dough to it, rolling it to coat with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Ferment at room temperature for 1 1/2-2 hours, or until dough doubles in size.
6. Remove dough from the bowl and divide into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Mist the tops with spray oil and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let them rest for 20 minutes. .
7. Shape each ball into a hot dog bun. You can do this by flattening the ball with your palm, then bringing two edges in toward the center to form a square. Roll it up tightly, then rock it back and forth gently under your palms to make the bun longer. Don't pinch or taper the ends. Transfer the shaped buns to a sheet pan lined with a silpat mat or parchment paper. Mist the tops with spray oil, loosely cover with plastic wrap or a towel, and let rise for 60-90 minutes, or until doubled in size.
8. Preheat the oven to 400. Brush the tops of the buns with the egg wash and garnish with seeds if desired. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden-brown and the sides are golden. Let cool for at least 15 minutes on a rack before servings.

Like the wind chill, the heat index (or apparent temperature, "feels-like" temperature, or humiture) is another number to tell you how hot it feels on a summer day.
When you perspire, your sweat is evaporated from your skin, making you feel cooler. When the humidity is high; however, your sweat doesn't evaporate as fast, making you feel hotter.
The VERY complex formula for Heat Index:
Heat Index = (16.923 + 0.185212*T + 5.37941*RH - 0.100254*T*RH + (0.941695e-2)*T^2 + (0.728898e-2)*RH^2 + (0.345372e-3)*T^2*RH - (0.81497e-3)*T*RH^2 + (0.102102e-4)*T^2*RH^2 - (0.38646e-4)*T^3 + (0.291583e-4)*RH^3 + (0.142721e-5)*T^3*RH + (0.197483e-6)*T*RH^3 - (0.218429e-7)*T^3*RH^2 + (0.843296e-9)*T^2*RH^3 - (0.481975e-10)*T^3*RH^3)
Where RH is the relative humidity in whole numbers (74, not 74% or 0.74) and T is the temperature in °F.
Got all that?

These wedding dress's look like high school prom dress's... Please don't make a girls wedding day blah! it is suppose to be the most memorable day in her life.. don't the designers have any inspiration anymore... what's up with that! and coloured wedding dress's yuck... White people ... not colour.. If i was marrying for the umpteenth time i would never buy one of them... I love chic.. not plain.. and these are for want of another word blah, plain.. so glad i'm already married and had my beautiful wedding dress .. poor up and comings.
Dec 14, 2011 6:05PM
Yikes these are wedding dresses!! Listen up designers these take the cake of the ugliest dresses I've ever seen , where did you ever get the idea for some of these , they look like crap, even and ordinary person could do these ones one better, so why bother having you around ??? get back to work and bring something nicer to look at,something with panache, definitely not these rags !!!

These are horrible! I know that the "design" world normally features stuff that is wildly impractical for anyone to actually wear, but this is a bit crazy. Barely any of these are "bridal" feeling, and I'm sorry, but I doubt designers are going to be responsible (anytime soon) for changing the mainstream look of a wedding dress. Number 18? Baggy t-shirt with frumpy 80's skirt? I doubt anyone in the bride's family would ever LET her wear that....just, wow!

How to avoid state death taxes
In 21 states and the District of Columbia, you may owe estate and inheritance taxes to the state even if you don't have to pay the federal government.
For the unwary, state estate and inheritance taxes can come as a big surprise. That's going to be especially true as families think they can get away without planning now that the federal estate tax hits only individuals who die with more than $5 million in assets ($5.25 million for 2013, indexed for inflation). But according to Forbes, 21 states and the District of Columbia have estate and/or inheritance taxes on the books for 2013, and in some cases they kick in on the first dollar.
"The thing that makes state estate tax so sinister is it's underneath people's radar, but it's got a sharp bite," says Martin Shenkman, an estate lawyer in Paramus, N.J. "If you have under $5 million, you're not necessarily out of the woods."
Say you die with $2 million in your name and a plan to leave everything to your children. In New Jersey, the state tax bite would be $99,600, calculates Ira Herman, a CPA with Cohn Reznick in Roseland, N.J. "Who wants to write a check for $100,000 to the government," he quips.
Still in many cases, you can make the state tax bill go away with a little planning. Here's help.
Move. Why do you think you see all those Florida license plates in New York? "A lot of people in high tax states pretend very aggressively they live in Florida," says Shenkman. Moving to avoid state death taxes works – if you really move to a death-tax-free state and give up all ties to your old state.
If you're two-timing, it's harder to beat the tax collector, but you can do it if you do it right. That means changing your driver's license and registration, as well as where you vote, and religiously recording the number of days you spend in your old and new states. Tax authorities even look at your possessions (your expensive wine collection) that are dear to you to determine where you're "domiciled."
Credit shelter trust/bypass trust. The credit shelter (or bypass trust) was the mainstay of estate planning back when the federal estate tax was what got families into estate planners' offices. Now you can still set up one of these trusts at the death of the first spouse and shelter the amount of the estate equal to the state estate tax exemption amount, with the rest going into a marital Q-TIP trust.
With this plan, you pay no state or federal taxes at the first spouse's death. To shelter the rest of the first spouse to die's federal exemption, you rely on a provision of the new federal law called "portability," allowing surviving spouses to carry over the estate tax exemption of the spouse who died first and add it to their own. So married couples can transfer $10.5 million together federal tax-free. Note: States do not have a similar portability provision, so couples can't as easily double the state exemption amount.
In most cases, you'll want the bypass trust to be automatically funded, but it's important to put flexibility into the trust, giving the executor the ability to fund it or not, and giving the trustee the ability to unravel it in the future.
Spousal lifetime access trust. Some estate planners say these trusts will be the future of estate planning — for folks who want to get more out of their estate while they are alive. It works much like putting life insurance in an irrevocable life insurance trust, keeping the cash value and the proceeds out of your estate. The new tax law made permanent a combined $5 million per person lifetime gift tax/estate tax exemption. If you put property in a trust for the benefit of your spouse and kids that gets it – along with any appreciation– out of your estate.
You start by putting, say, $500,000 into one of these trusts during your life, and add to it as you feel comfortable giving the money away, lessening your estate for federal and state estate and/or inheritance tax purposes each time you make a lifetime gift to the trust. Say you live in New York with its $1 million estate tax exemption, then you could fund the trust until you're left with $1 million. The upside: Your spouse can access the trust during your life, so you have access to it in a way. The downside: It's best to have a rock solid marriage for this to make sense.
Outright gifts. This is the easiest solution — and makes the most sense if your intended recipients need the money now and the amount you're giving away is not a large number relative to your wealth. In addition to the $5 million lifetime gift allowance, each taxpayer can give any number of individuals $14,000 a year each without worrying about gift tax. Connecticut is the only state that still has a gift tax; it applies to cumulative gifts over $2 million. Tennessee abolished its gift tax last year.
You can also pay college or private school tuition and medical bills, as long as you pay the provider directly, and it doesn't count against your lifetime gift tax exemption.
A few caveats about "gifting." If you want to make sure the money is going to be used the way you want, use a trust instead of an outright gift. Don't gift low-basis assets: If you paid $10,000 for stock and it's worth $100,000 when you give it away, the recipient keeps your old $10,000 basis and would owe capital gains tax eventually when the stock is sold. By contrast, if you leave the same stock to the same person in your will, the recipient gets a stepped-up basis to the value as of your date of death, saving capital gains tax. And last, make sure you're comfortable with giving it away.
"You have to be able to afford it," says Charles D. Fox IV, an estate lawyer with McGuire Woods in Charlottesville, Va.
After all, you might prefer to spend it yourself.
If you're wondering about the scenario in your state, you can find the information on this Forbes interactive map.

Who in right mind disagrees with this statement? I am 65 and now see the light ,, in 30s nothing bothered me with respect to taxes. I paid my whole life,,, retired,, still I pay property taxes, school taxes,county taxes, and every tax imaginable.. road tolls, gas tax, liquor tax, hotel tax, leaving the country tax, gasoline tax on flying, state sales tax, inheritance tax, cigarette tax (cigars), added health tax, property state sales tax on sale of home, now federal 3.8% property sales tax. Not to mention capital gains of 20 to 30% on selling my business property. Yep, we get to work and pay into medicare / social security along with state / fed taxed dollars, then when spend them we get to pay another 6 to 8% depending on where live. Gee, we see much less than 60% of earned dollars. Maybe these three NOs here, borrowed a computer to vote and live on the street not paying any of the above and only take in the generous donations for the non working people who get money for each child with no dads or working mom. People have no clue to benefits of those unable to work receive. Including housing, food stamps, free prescriptions (oh, and when not covered. i.e. diet tabs, they flip out their insurance card from the non existant dad, who is working, but out of picture in order to obtain government assistance). I am pharmacist and saw too many times, when call to report they have other means of health insurance, I get harrassed by the case worker.The system has become a joke.....thank God, I am retired, just hopefully to recieve WHAT I PAID INTO for 42 years of work.... Thanks BARB,,,for noting, but nothing will ever change,, we, the country will go broke,, hmmm,, we are broke lol... paying 2 BILLION a month interest on National DEBT,,, Wake up people,, you are holding dollars of no value.. no backed by gold or anything of value.. Obama lovers are those getting a ride,,,well,, your kids will be paying for the ride...Good luck to all,, and maybe the two or three who will take time to read and maybe,,,, just maybe believe some of this is correct,,,, the non believers are taking the system for what they can.........thanks for reading,,,
