Is Internet Voting Inevitable?
How might the internet alter U.S. democratic institutions, including how Americans get information about and even vote for their public officials in general elections, has been the subject of much debate in recent months. Online voting is one of the most controversial aspects in this debate- a subject that began in March 2000 when the Arizona Democratic Party allowed for the first time remote Internet voting in its presidential primary race.
The prospect of being able to vote "in your pajamas," as its been described captured the imagination of political leaders, technology innovators, and voters around the world.
Is internet voting inevitable? Do you think people should be forced to assemble at polling places in order to cast their ballots? Is there benefits from entering the "public sphere?"
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Oct 27 2013: Although internet voting has the ability to greatly increase Americas voter turnout, there are so many factors that will prevent people from voting online. These factors include the lack of security and the inaccesability to cast their vote from an electronic device. When dealing with the worldwide web, it is not exactly easy to protect your personal identity. Secondly, a large margin of the older population is not familiar with today's technology and therefore internet voting is of no use to the elderly home bound. Conclusively, while online voting could open the eyes of Americans to a whole new world, the funding required for such an idea is not available, especially if many are not going o take advantage of the new opportunity.

The surge, President George W. Bush claims, is working in Iraq. This may come as a surprise to the soldiers and Iraqi civilians who die daily from stepped-up attacks from insurgents.
While Bush and Congress posture, each morning brings renewed reports of attacks and death.
Reports The Associated Press:
A suicide car bomb attack on an Iraqi army checkpoint in northern Iraq killed at least nine soldiers Thursday, police said.
The attack occurred at about 9 a.m. in Khalis, 50 miles north of Baghdad, a police officer said on condition of anonymity out of concern for his own safety. Ten Iraqi soldiers and five civilians were wounded, the officer said.
The city is located in Diyala province, which has seen some of the worst violence recently as mostly Sunni militants are believed to have fled to the area since U.S. and Iraqi troops launched a security crackdown in Baghdad on Feb. 14.
On Wednesday, four Iraqi police officers were killed when a suicide bomber struck a police station in the Diyala city of Balad Ruz, 45 miles northeast of Baghdad.
Two days earlier, a double-suicide bombing struck a paratrooper outpost in the province, killing nine U.S. troops. An al-Qaida-linked group claimed responsibility.
In other violence on Thursday, two suicide bombers attacked an office of the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Massoud Barzani, leader of the autonomous Kurdish region in Iraq, killing three of its guards and wounding five, police said.
The casualties could have been higher if guards had not opened fire on the two attackers, forcing them to detonate their explosives at least 50 yards from the office, police said.
The attack occurred at about 8 a.m. in Zumar, a town that is 45 miles west of Mosul, the capital of Ninevah province. It was the second suicide attack this week aimed at the KDP in that area.
On Monday, a suicide car bomber attacked a KDP office in another town near Mosul, which is 225 miles northwest of Baghdad, killing at least 10 people and wounding 20.
In a separate attack in Mosul on Monday, suspected insurgents assassinated a local KDP official in a drive-by-shooting, police said.
8 Responses to "Suicide bomb attacks kills nine more soldiers"
Bush doesn't care. Cheney doesn't care. They each just made another $372,481 in the time it took to blow up those nine noble soldiers. In their minds the money is much more important.
Many more will die unless we get rid of Bush and Cheney. Impeach them NOW.
Pull our troops out NOW.
This unjust and phony war has killed enough of our soldiers. Bring our men and women home NOW.
If not, we will vote YOU ALL out of office!
Your wright Mr Bill Robinson above, they don't care. These are truely evil people with their on agenda and they will stop at nothing to achieve their goals of power, money and what ever else you might consider that relates to total control. They are without compassion and care nothing for the death of innocent people no matter the number. One or ten million makes NO difference to them.
A special place in HELL awaits these bastards.
…hell that is – they need their own SPECIAL place –
…after all, many of us are going to be there due to our beliefs – or so we are told –
…not sure WHERE they belong but it ain't place on THIS planet –
…gee, it was ONLY nine more bodies –
…then again, can W43 even count that high or spell the word?
The Bushco thugs use the excuse of telling the bad guys when we plan to leave Iraq in vetoing the dems proposal of funding. Anybody with half a brain can see that we have little effect on the amount of carnage that goes on in that hell hole. It is costing two billion dollars a week for our presence there. Where will the next 100 billion come from next fall? The sad reality is that americans will keep dying untill we bring them home. Iraq will not improve one iota no matter how much money we borrow to send them. The hearts and minds of the Iraqis are not in our favor.
Bush will break when he is faced with defeat and his vision of his presidency hits him and he realizes that he is truly a piece of shit. He may become totally out of control and do something really stupid, like lobbing a nuke on Iran. That will be the gravest mistake in history. All mankind on earth will suffer for this imbiciles twisted ego. Lets hope not.
I Won't Be Rushed
to the tune of:-
Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out
I won't be rushed, there's plenty of time
I'm gonna be here till two thousand an' nine
Why should I hurry? Why should I worry?
I'm War President, Deciden' th' best for the c'untry
I'm doin' God's work, spreadin' Freedom all round
A better Decider just could not be found
I unnerstan' war's tough, that's why I dodged 'Nam
An' was wounded by a dentist's drill in Alabam'
I reject all ideas that would lead to defeat
People gotta unnerstan' victory must be complete
At th' 'propriate time, I'll say where we're headed
I'll present My New Way Forward with Iraqis embedded
I'm weighin' my options for Iraq
We're goin' forward, we're not goin' back
I got a better plan, a bran' new scam
I think I just might nuke Iran
Cashel Boylo
To the tune of The Streets of Laredo
My Surge In Baghdad
The direction of the fighting's beginning to shift
The good news is giving me quite a lift
There are still horrific attacks in Iraq
But shoot, we're winnin', we're hittin' 'em back
Incremental gains day by day in Baghdad
The news on my surge, it sure ain't all bad
The high casualty rates will likely continue
Our expectations are coming out true
Winning block by block we are in Baghdad
Sure the rest of Iraq is looking quite sad
Terrorists and insurgents mount terrible attacks
You can trust me to keep giving you all of the facts
We're taking Iraq back one street at a time
And after all I've got plenty of time
You can't get me out, I'll keep decidin' fine
You can't replace me till two thousand and nine
Cashel Boylo
The war in Iraq is just like a Mafia pizza shop…it looks like a pizza shop, it acts like a pizza shop, but really, it's a front to launder money through. See? That's exactly what Bush & Cheney wanted with Iraq. They wanted to get in there at all costs so their corporate whores could set up shop to pilfer and plunder the American treasury and whatever they could get their hands on in Iraq (oil of course).
How many CEOs in America have Iraqi ancient artifacts in their offices from when the museums were pilfered in the beginning? I bet a ton do! Thieves!
So, soldiers dying to them is nothing. They're getting what they want. Iraq is the windshield that they'll look through to continue their same game. Our soldiers are pawns and Bush & Cheney are having fun with them.
The Surge is working, at least that is what I am told. I have to apologize, I do not remember the name but, in the news someone said, they see little things changing that makes himbelieve the Surge is making headway. Attacks are down, that's also what he said.
I have not seen or heard any one contradict these reports. I have heard these things by just this one article. Was it one person's opinion, probably.
If that is all it is, why would any news outlet let it be said? It is a dangerous statement to make, just because one person says so. This is careless journalism that can have ugly reprocussions.
If there were 15 Attacks per day for 6 days then, on the 7th. day only 14 Attacks, it can be said "Attacks are down" but if it was honest, added on would be "For Today" Otherwise it would be very misleading for obvious reasons.
The media has been on both the high side of the stick and the low. They're accused of not reporting the "Good" news, just what is the "Good" news? Do the Iraqis have constant Running Water? All Day Electricity, More Jobs to choose, Gasoline for their cars, Sewage Treatment, no to all.
When no American soldier is killed or wounded, that's Good news. It's to bad that can't be reported on a daily basis.

Four things Republicans used to believe Rex Nutting - MarketWatch
Interesting article. Republicans used to be more open to taxation, a strong presidency, environmental regulation, and universal healthcare.
Too bad the party has veered towards big business.
"Media Matters analyzed television news guests who discussed the Environmental Protection Agency's role in regulating greenhouse gas emissions from December 2009 through April 2011. Driven largely by Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network, results show that in 76 percent of those appearances, the guest was opposed to EPA regulations while 18 percent were in favor. Of the appearances by elected officials, 86 percent were Republican. Only one guest in 17 months of coverage across nine news outlets was a climate scientist — industry-funded Patrick Michaels."
This isn't fair or balanced, but what's more surprising is the way in which Fox dominates environmental discussion as other news channels are rather silent.
via Opponents Of EPA Climate Action Dominate TV News Airwaves | Media Matters via @algore
The average 56-year-old couple pays about $140,000 into the Medicare system over a lifetime and receives about $430,000 in benefits back. The program is also completely unaffordable. Medicare has unfinanced liabilities of more than $30 trillion.
Where Wisdom Lives - NYTimes.com
This is such a great article….more nuggets:
Some Democrats simply want to do nothing as Medicare careens toward bankruptcy. Last Sunday on "Face the Nation," for example, Nancy Pelosi said, "I could never support any arrangement that reduced benefits for Medicare."
Democrats generally seek to concentrate decision-making and cost-control power in the hands of centralized experts.
Republicans at their best are skeptical about top-down decision-making. They are skeptical that centralized experts can accurately predict costs. In 1967, the House Ways and Means Committee projected that Medicare would cost $12 billion by 1990. It actually cost $110 billion.
It's sad that medicare is such a massive problem and yet politicians are not forthright about the size and scope of the problem.
As Physicians' Jobs Change, So Do Their Politics
Doctors were once overwhelmingly male and usually owned their own practices. They generally favored lower taxes and regularly fought lawyers to restrict patient lawsuits. Ronald Reagan came to national political prominence in part by railing against "socialized medicine" on doctors' behalf. But doctors are changing. They are abandoning their own practices and taking salaried jobs in hospitals,
the American Medical Association supported President Obama's legislation last year because the new law would provide health insurance to the vast majority of the nation's uninsured, improve competition and choice in insurance, and promote prevention and wellness, the group said.
Because so many doctors are no longer in business for themselves, many of the issues that were once priorities for doctors' groups, like insurance reimbursement, have been displaced by public health and safety concerns, including mandatory seat belt use and chemicals in baby products.
Even the issue of liability, while still important to the A.M.A. and many of its state affiliates, is losing some of its unifying power because malpractice insurance is generally provided when doctors join hospital staffs.
Great article :) Now that doctors worry less about business, they focus more on the patient experience.
Open Primaries Could Stem GOP Slide
So this is an interesting thesis. In California, Republican primaries forced Republicans to move right, alienating them from the rest of voters. With an "open primary" republican and democratic candidates compete against each other and the best candidates advance regardless of party. Cool :)
To win their respective Republican primaries, gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman and Senate candidate Carly Fiorina tacked to the right on abortion, health care, taxes and immigration. … Having moved to the right to win over conservatives, Whitman and Fiorina found they couldn't get back to the white stripe in the middle of the road.If the open primary idea spreads, it could help put a brake on the GOP's rightward lurch outside California as well. Many Congressional Republicans fear that if they vote to raise the debt limit, they will earn themselves a primary challenge from the right.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They made us feel welcome from the time we stepped foot on the property. The in room jacuzzi was fantastic! The first night was quiet and relaxing. Just what we needed! The only suggestion that I would make is to limit the outside pool birthday parties to daytime hours so that the hotel guests can enjoy the pool and hot tub. It was very crowded and loud for the entire day. The staff was more than willing to extend hours for us to enjoy the pool, but we were too tired to stay awake until after hours. Other than that suggestion I wold not change anything! Thanks again!

let me say that i did pay a little extra for this room because i got the room with the jacuzzi (this is the second time i do this at this hotel and both times i've been too tired after all day of walking at cedar point to use the jacuzzi). the hotel is kind of far from cedar point my GPS said that from the exit gate of the park to the hotel it was a 24 min drive, realisticly is anywhere from 15-20 mins depending on your driving avilities. it would be great if this hotel was within a five min drive but not a dealbreaker for me. The hotel has a good exterior to it, i think the picures they have on the travel websites is actually a negative representation of the actual way this place looks. The lobby abviously is nothing great a front desk and two couches and that is it, they do have a compuer for guest useage at no charge. the lady at the front desk was polite and friendly, the check in process went with a hassle we were a group of 12 adults with 4 different rooms and we were all checked...

Really Clean, Nice, Little Older Style But Not Unattractive, Room Was Large, Shower Clean, Overall We Loved It
No Fridge OrMicrowave In The Room, TV Was Bad
Okay 6.0
My friend and I visited the resort for a weekend stay but decided not to go out to a restaurant each day and purchased carry-outs for lunch. But we soon discovered that the pricey resort does not provide microwaves nor can you rent a microwave. NOT GOOD!! We reserved the room with the breakfast package on the morning that we were leaving. We ordered from the resorts menu and shortly after our breakfasts were delivered to our table. However, my friends eggs were too soft and requested that the eggs be re-cooked. When I received the credit card statement I discovered that I was charged an additional $ *.00 for two eggs. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICES!!

Gaming PC Builds – September 2014
Jump to a specific budget build -
- Gaming PC Build of the Month ( $1500 ): September 2014
- Gaming PC Build of the Month ( $1000 ): September 2014
- Gaming PC Build of the Month ( $600 ): September 2014
Gaming PC Builds of the Month Introduction:
Welcome one and all to the September 2014 gaming pc builds of the month. The builds you will find below include a budget $600, $1000 and $1500 build that are capable of gaming on extreme settings of 2560×1600, 1920×1080 and medium to high settings at 1920×1080 respectfully in most games as the builds get higher in cost. If you have a different budget in mind, there is also an included hardware alternatives table located below each build's writeup below, or you can always leave a lovely comment in the comments section.
Since last month there has been little in hardware releases in the gaming pc hardware world within the last month, but prices have shifted around. There is however one release worth noting in that Samsung did release another high end contender Solid State Drive to its current line of SSD's – the Samsung 850 PRO. I note this because I do believe if you can splurge a little, an SSD is a great purchase; especially a higher end SSD. The Samsung 850 PRO has been quoted to being one of the best internal drives on the market…not necessarily for the cost though. That being said, this card is not included in any of the builds, but if you do have a hefty budget, then it may be a worthwhile consideration.
If you are in the market for a brand new budget gaming pc build, then fret no further and read on below for the September 2014 gaming pc builds of the month. Do remember that these builds are not constrained purely to their respective budgets and that they are flexible depending on your gaming hardware needs, price changes and personal preference.

State Republican leaders are making good on campaign promises to fight the federal health care law.
Thursday a State House Judiciary Committee voted to block the federal government's health insurance mandate that takes effect in 2014.
Titled "An Act to Protect the Freedom to Choose Health Care and Health Insurance," the bill that would exempt North Carolinians from the law requiring most Americans to buy insurance.
"We're going to debate this bill and we're going to vote on this bill," Committee Chairman and Johnston County Republican Leo Daughtry said.
The bill would also require North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper to either join a lawsuit with more than 20 other states fighting against the insurance mandate or file a separate lawsuit for North Carolina.
"A state law that authorizes North Carolina citizens to violate federal law could be found to be unconstitutional," Cooper said in a statement. "The federal health law is deemed constitutional..."
(Click Here to view a letter Cooper sent to North Carolina Governor Bev Perdue after the federal health care bill passed.)
The requirement for Cooper brought objections from Democrats.
"You're talking about millions of dollars that possibly would have to be spent by our attorney general's office," Macon County Democratic Representative Phillip Haire said.
Republicans said the true cost would come to the state if lawmakers did not pass the bill.
"All this about the bill costing money is smoke and mirrors," Cleveland County Republican Representative Tim Moore said. "The reality is this bill is about whether you support federal mandates being imposed on our citizens or you don't."
Some Democrats were upset the bill passed and Chairman Daughtry did not allow a public hearing.
"This bill will affect people who don't have health insurance," Wake County Democratic Representative Grier Martin. "This bill will affect insurance companies. This bill will affect health care practitioners. We didn't get a chance to hear from any of them."
Chairman Daughtry said the committee heard from the public when they elected Republicans to power.
"What good would it do," Daughtry said. "I don't see how it would improve this particular process on this particular bill."
Other lawmakers felt the entire bill was a waste of time.
"I cannot believe that we are opening this session in the middle of the worst recession since The Great Depression," Wake County Democratic Representative Jennifer Weiss said, "we are talking about this issue rather than about how to put our people back to work."
The full house is expected to vote on the bill as early as next Tuesday, just one week after officially opening for business.

Here's my daily carry for now. Still looking for a good flashlight, so for now the SwissLite and my phone's flashlight will do. I like to keep it minimal, I hate having too much stuff in my pockets.
Editor's Note: Nice minimalism — I am convinced one of the tiny 58mm Victorinox Swiss Army Knives are a great way to add utility to any carry, especially for a minimalist's. They're very capable tools. Lastly, nice hardware on that keychain clip! Thanks for sharing.

Wednesday, December 19, 2012
Other people have voiced my own thoughts much better than I can.
Last Friday, after learning about the Sandy Hook tragedy, I was glued to the TV for the rest of the day. I cried all day long. I couldn't get enough of whatever news was being shared.
I ached to have my own babies home from school, just so that I could revel in their alive-ness.
By Friday night, I was emotionally tapped out and made the conscious decision to limit my TV viewing for the rest of the weekend. My heart just couldn't handle the sadness of it all.
I am still so sad.
I am trying to stay away from TV media because it will almost always send me back to the tears. Why is this hitting me so hard? Is it because I have my own 6 yr old first grader? I look at his innocence, his sweetness, his funny self who wants to be hugged and kissed and loved on all of the time and then I think of those poor children who lost their lives at the hands of some crazy lunatic and then I think of their poor parents and the pain they are experiencing right now.
I want to take some of their pain away but have no idea how.
Oh how I ache for the lives lost Friday morning in a senseless act of violence.
There is no way to make sense because it just doesn't make sense.
I thought I had collected myself enough to be able to watch this video and be OK, but apparently I am not done just yet. That big puddle of messy tears in the chair over there is ME. I love this song and have it on my iPod list already. To hear it sung and to watch all the names of those children and teachers who are no longer with us displayed......well, it is just heart-wrenching.

- Leigh Ann said...
I was not prepared for how emotional that would make me? It's one of my all time favorite songs, and the tributes with the names....sigh.
I was pretty numb on Friday, but the littlest things set me off. I've been finding patience with my kids since then in places I never knew it existed.
- Erin said...
I am torn between staying away from the media and being drawn back to the stories of the victims because I can't let their lives be lost in vain. I feel like I have to know them as much as I can, but it's so hard. Looking at those babies and seeing my own child of their age cuts so deep.
- Elaine A. said...
I can't take it either. I was IN Gavin's Kindergarten class while that as going on across the country. My heart is so broken for those children and their families.
Hugs from one Momma to another!
- Bari said...
((hugs)) It is heart wrenching. I had avoided social media and someone on FB posted that video. I watched it at work (school) and sat at my desk and sobbed. I can't imagine having kids the same age and how that would feel.

VALPARAISO | While the recent surge in fatal heroin overdoses was a brutal reminder the drug problem rages on in Porter County, there has been a change in the response.
Porter County Drug Task Force coordinator Bob Taylor issued a same stern warning his team will continue its crackdown on all levels of drug offenders. But he also made the unusual move this time of offering advice to heroin users on how to best protect themselves from the specific batch of the drug in question.
Lab tests have revealed the heroin linked to the area deaths was not mixed properly, which left unequal dosages throughout the gray-colored rocks, Taylor said. It is believed the fatalities occurred because users either received an unexpectedly large dose after shaving off some of the rock for consumption or a light dose that drove them to take a second and excessive helping.
For those unable to follow his advice to leave the drug alone, Taylor recommends grinding the rocks completely to more evenly distribute the dose before use.
"It's not poison, it's just not mixed right," he said.
It is believed the drug originated in Dolton or Gary, Taylor said.
Porter Regional Hospital emergency physician David Cummins, who has seen enough of an increase in overdoses recently to encourage him to speak out, said Friday he agrees advice on safe drug use should be part of the official response along with prevention and treatment.
He encourages those who are unable to refrain from using the drug not to do it alone. This way, if there is a problem, he said there is someone there to seek to help.
Cummins could not recall an instance where someone bringing an overdose patient to the hospital was arrested.
Porter County Coroner Chuck Harris said most of the fatal heroin overdoses this year have occurred at a residence.
The county has had eight confirmed and one probable fatal heroin overdoses so far this year, which is the same amount for all of 2012, Harris said. The most recent two deaths occurred March 29 in Chesterton.
Taylor believes education and treatment are needed along with enforcement to combat the drug problem. He said fourth- and fifth-graders should be targeted so they are prepared by middle school.

How to form an event and conference committee
One of the other aspects of planning a successful event is to surround you with people that can each play a part in helping that event succeed.
You have to delegate responsibility and let everyone use their own special skills to make the event a success.
The easiest way to delegate tasks is to divide the biggest task (organizing the conference) into smaller areas of responsibility and then assign individuals to these categories.
Below is a suggested list of areas of responsibility to which you can assign committee members.
Food and catering
Speakers and presenters
Printed Materials
Each of these committees will basically follow a hierarchy of overall project manager (you) and subordinate supervisors (each committee head).
That is the best way to designate your committee. You will have others heading each of their departments and those handling any of those volunteers that help them fulfil their tasks.
As the overall manager of the project or event, it is your job:
to watch everyone else doing their jobs
to assist when needed
to monitor budgeting costs
to make the lead decisions for the committee members through your approval of their actions; and
to monitor the overall performance of the committee members in general.
As you can see, you will be the busier person in the end.
The best thing that you can do as organizer is to ensure that each responsibility goes to the person that is most qualified and dependable to do it.
With each of these areas covered, the task of organizing the event should be far easier. The purpose for many conferences and seminars is generally to gain some sort of profit.
For example, a business conference is usually designed to woo a potential big client to your company and a seminar can be held in order to raise funds for a charity of some sort.
With this in mind, you must also consider your budgeting expenses because you do not want your money spent to be higher than the money received. There will be more on the budget in the next section.
When you want to form your very own event committee you must not only choose the right areas of delegating responsibility, but you must also be very much on top of things yourself. You are more of the supervisor to the other people.
You should ensure that you give people tasks that they are comfortable with and that they can perform with minimal supervision.
You should also be certain to have regular and continual meetings:
On the subjects of the tasks needed to be performed
the money that is needed to do each task (to ensure that you do not go over budget in any area); and
To discuss regularly any problems that have or may come up in the future.
Regular meetings are the best way to keep your entire committee in the loop. You should also be sure to get all of the contact information from the committee so that you can get in touch with them whenever needed, and give yours so that they can find you when needed.
The easiest way to ensure that your committee does the best job possible is to keep in constant communication with each other and make sure to share any and all vital information about the tasks being performed, even if all things are hunky dory.
The next thing that you should be aware of when forming your committee is that each committee member regularly keeps vital records of everything that they do and all of the expense money that they spend.
For example; have each committee member make copies of and give over receipts to you personally so that you can keep an accurate record of all things that are going on.
This information will be required eventually by a boss or superior sooner or later and it is best that you keep on top of this as the project manager because if things get lost or no accurate records are available, it will put your butt or career on the line.

BEIJING Could everyone please stop hyperventilating about Michael Phelps?
Yes, he now has won more gold medals than anyone in Olympic history.
No, that does not make him the greatest Olympic athlete in history.
In fact, he doesn't even make my top five.
He is No. 6 with a bullet, moving up the charts like a hot pop song.
Ahead of him?
1. Carl Lewis, U.S., track and field.
2. Paavo Nurmi, Finland, track and field.
3. Larisa Latynina, Soviet Union, gymnastics.
4. Birgit Fischer-Schmidt, Germany, kayak.
5. Steven Redgrave, United Kingdom, rowing.
Why is Phelps sixth?
It is easy to win multiple medals in swimming.
The sport is far more forgiving on the body than track or gymnastics.
And Phelps does not yet have the long-term record of the others.
Lewis won nine gold medals, four in the 1984 Olympics and four straight in one event, the long jump.
Nurmi won nine gold medals at distances from 1,500 to 10,000 meters over three Olympics. He likely would have won more had he not been declared ineligible after 1928 under rules that demanded Olympians be amateurs.
Latynina won nine gold medals and 18 total medals over three Olympics.
Fischer-Schmidt won her first of eight gold medals in 1980 and her last 24 years later as a 42-year-old mother of two. She won three for the old East Germany and five for the unified Germany. She won in singles, doubles and fours. She also won four silvers.
Michael Phelps is not the greatest Olympic athlete in history
Despite Phelps medals and records, the quick recovery time and new technology of swimming dwarf his achievements. Carl Lewis, Paavo Nurmi and others rank higher.

This is a very intense, complicated, bizarre story. People get hurt, love, and hate. It's about a group of older teens and young adults filming the movie Titanic. As they film it they fall in love in the process. Some have deep secrets, and others fall for the others crushes. Could it turn to conflict? I believe so.
Love is lost, but never forgotten. Next thing you know, you're being turned on.
Let me remind you: I am in highschool, and i do have a job. It will sometimes be difficult for me to update. I really hope everyone enjoys it!
I welcome you to leave comments, and motivations! Please do!
Thank you so much!

Drip, Drop, Drip, Drop. The sound of rain pouring outside of Lynn's Window, well, her aunt's window.The sky gray with clouds. Nothing different since the last few weeks. Rain season, oh joy. Lynn thought, lying on her bed staring out into the boring, gray sky. There was absolutely nothing to do at the moment in the small town of Fairhope, Alabama. Lynn and her brother Nick moved in with her aunt 5 weeks ago. Lynn wanted to spread her wings, fly, go somewhere she's never been. It didn't look like that was happening anytime soon though.
Lynn rolled until she was flat on her stomach, her hair sprawled across her face and her pulse quickening as memories filled her head. Memories of her Mother and father's death. Just 5 weeks ago the devastating accident came out of no where. No one could have prevented it, and her parents didn't want anyone to prevent it neither. They killed themselves, harshly too. Her parents weren't happen with their life. They hated their children, the bills were held back as far as 6 months before. They were kicked out of their home and were living on the streets at the time, all four of them. They'd go to school with dirty clothes on, and yes, kids made fun of them. They were very attractive teens, with a very unattractive lifestyle. They were now living with her aunt Karmen. Karmen was the nicest person they've ever met, and had the cutest little house. The paint on the outside of the house was a faint yellow, with white roses paint on the beams. She treated them like they were her own children she never had. Tears ran down Lynn's face and she barried her face into her pillow even deeper.
"Lynn. Are you okay?" Nick said, standing in to doorway. Her brother, Her care taker, Her best friend. No one was closer to Her than Nick was. He was all she had, She was all he had. They had to stick together.
Lynn lifter her head from her pillow, face wet with salty tears. Sadness and regret found his face. "Lynny." He said softly and walked over to the bed and knelt down in front of her. "It's okay to cry, but it's not okay to cry alone." He whispered to her bringing her to the floor beside him, hugging her tightly to him. "They wanted to go.They got what the wanted. It's not our fault, you hear me?" She nodded her head sobbing a little, soaking his shirt.
"Why..." She cried a little. "Why do we have to go through this Nick? Does God hate us?" She sobbed a little louder when she said that.
"No honey, God doesn't hate us. He's just preparing us." Nick smoothed her hair down lightly as she cried into his neck, her arms wrapped around him. "He is only making us stronger." He added.
"By having parents that hate us? Having them commit suicide? Having us go through a life we can barely handle?" Lynn sobbed.
Nick looked straight ahead, memories hiting his mind like lightening. Blood on the floor by the sink, wearing dirty shirts to school, being hit all through his childhood. He gripped her tighter. "Apparently." He whispered. "Just kepp faith Lynn. He'll send something our way. Just trust him." He whispered to her.
Karmen stopped in the doorway on her way to the bathroom. She frowned, and gave Nick a helpful smile. He tried to smile back, but it turned into a grimace. Lynn lookedup at Nick then, staring into his eyes. "I'll trust him, and i'll trust you my brother, my best friend." He brought her back to his arms and hugged her tightly. "I love you Lynn and nothing will ever change. Believe me on that." He whispered.
She smiled a bit and then sniff. His eyes were red, she could tell he wanted to cry but wouldn't let it flow. "You know, someone told me it was okay to cry.." She said meekly. He couldn't help but crack a smile, and when he did, tears trickled down his face. He hugged her. "Okay. It's time i see what fun is in this town. You with me?" He grinned a little, wiping the salty drops from his face with the back of his sleeve.
"You know me too well." She grinned and got up a little stiff sniffing from the crying. "Maybe we'll make some friends." SHe giggled. "Considering we have no life." Lynn commented.
"Right.." He said getting up and stretching. "Lets go."
Hmm. I be intrigued. xD Can't wait for more girlie!

How to Extend the Life of Your Furnace
Posted on 11. Mar, 2010 by Admin in HVAC Care
By having the furnace cleaned out, you will get what is called "gas scale build-up" out of the heating elements of the furnace such as the heat exchangers and combustion chamber. This substance looks like rust, and will plug up the components of the furnace, causing them to overheat and eventually crack.
The other part of the furnace that is vital to clean is the blower and blower motor. As the blower and blower motor become contaminated with dust and debris, the blower motor begins to lose efficiency and have to work longer and harder. Eventually, the blower motor will burn out if there is too much contamination. In fact, many furnaces that have not been properly cleaned and maintained, will have to replace their blower motor long before the entire furnace needs replacement.
Most experts will agreee, you should have your forced air furnace and air ducts cleaned every year for safety and efficiency purposes, as well as extend the life of the appliance.

Preparation and Packing Up
Don't forget your maps!
Maps show:
- Roads, trails & access to your hunting area
- Sources of potential water, food & cover for wildlife
- Barriers to cross while hunting
- Barriers to wildlife(which can be used to your advantage)
- Terrain to prepare for
- Potential campsites
- Likely travel routes for wildlife
- Public and private lands
Use your topographic (topo) map & graph paper to plot an altitude chart. Then you can "see" the type of climbs you face.
Maps are helpful in all phases of pre-scouting, to determine your needs in preparation for the hunt.
Remember that topo maps use gradient lines to show the contours of the landscape. The closer the lines, the steeper the slope.
Refer to Pre-scouting, to learn how to read a topographic map.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West just wrapped up date #2 in NYC -- eating lunch at the swanky Serafina restaurant on the UES ... and it caused MAYHEM in the streets.
The pair just left the restaurant in a flash -- hopping straight into an idling car -- and they were swarmed by the biggest army of photographers we've seen in a long time.
The car then sped off -- taking the couple to the legendary toy store FAO Schwarz.
K & K have been romantically linked for years -- but TMZ broke the story this morning ... the pair is finally taking a stab at a public relationship, hitting up the movies last night for a real date.
Kim's worth an estimated $35 million ... Kanye an estimated $80 million -- so when a couple like that grabs lunch ... who pays?
Nahhh its not for publicity. Strangely enough real feelings DO exist in this odd relationship. Listen to Kanye's Theraflu. He says he 'loves' her. And we all know Kanye is known for keeping it real and speaking his mind.
GROSS! She will not stop until she bangs every black guy in America....and Kanye is just nasty and classless!
i like how the reporter say what did you order? "Fish fillet?"..lol
How do you people feel about Kris now? I think she's just in love with love huh? How long was that? This Cinderella story just took a skanky turn I guess Amber Rose was right. Maybe how this hypocrite will stop with the crocodile tears and be a woman. She wants to screw everything with a heart beat go ahead but don't hide behind the eternal romantic crap. Own it.
Come on people. Let's keep it funky--there are TONS of vain, rich, serial-dating actresses in Hollywood but none has recieved this level of hatred. As much as everyone claims that it's her family's obsession with fame that's to blame, it's pretty clear that the hate has more to do with her history of interracial dating than it does anything else. Most of the comments on here are from bitter white guys who are upset that a pretty, light skinned, ethnic girl is dating black guys. Which brings me to my next question... If anyone should be upset about her choice in men, shouldn't it be Armenian guys? I mean how did white guys insert themselves into this equation? White guys need to stop getting their boxers in a knot whenever a black guy comes around. I mean not only do they want to control the men that white women date, but now they want to put in their two cents about who an Armenian chick (who looks nowhere close to white)dates? Come on.
I think everyone should boycott any story dealing with a Kardashian. Don't post ANYTHING, positive or negative. Show TMZ that nobody give a rats ass about these two.
The entire family is all crazy..All the women are hoes, they just started pimping the two youngest ones already and a pissy mother that don't car where or when she pees on herslef.
A BUNCH OF LOSERS...But I do like Kloe
Her father started family tradition of getting b l ack men off!!! (OJ )
Her father started the family tradition of getting black guys off!!! (OJ refrence)
KANYE West get the gain from KIM K's wh*re-famous everywhere he go with her..
This girl seriously has had more sausage in her than HEB AND WALMART COMBINED. She should have more self respect. Her and JLO are just too old to be doing this. Plus Kim don't take pictures near your younger sisters you look old,trashy, & like an Old Vintage Car (w/ extreme milage on)
Kim and Kanye make a cute couple.....they are a power house together....I hope they get serious.....!
There we go, Kim living up to be the biggest HO again.
Just wait till Kris gets her paws on Kanye's cash, he's in a whole different league , money wise, than even she can't help but salivate.
Le'ts hope Kim will be off the market soon and start pumping out Kanye spawn.
These two make a perfect pair--their egos match as they each kiss their mirrors every day.

A newly-comprised Pinellas County Commission votes next week to resume adding fluoride to the Pinellas County public water supply. The system that serves 700,000 residents stopped adding fluoride more than a year ago after a 4-to-3 vote by the county commission.
The move cost two incumbents up for re-election their jobs, which are now held by pro-fluoride replacements. The three who thought fluoridation was good all along have not changed their minds.
"The science is crystal clear," said commissioner Ken Welch. "We've beat this thing to death."
"There's no doubt how I feel about this," commissioner Karen Seel echoed. "We need to put the fluoride back in the water."
And then there is commission chair John Morroni, who voted against fluoridation last year.
"I am prepared to go along and follow the wishes of the public," Morroni told his peers. "After serving eight years in the Florida legislature and dealing with so many issues, I have never been talked to about an issue as much as this fluoride issue."
With his change of heart, next week's vote is expected to be 6 to 1 to resume fluoridation.
The single opposing vote will come from commissioner Norman Roche, who started the ferocious fluoride fight. Ironically, Roche has never said he opposes the additive. He has consistently argued for a county policy governing any additive.
"Our citizens, we owe it to them to have the absolute unquestionable standards for anything that goes into the public drinking water supply," Roche repeated at Tuesday's county commission meeting. He also wants a referendum.
"I think the best way to learn what our citizens think about fluoride or if they want it is to ask them -- ask them the question directly," Roche pleaded.
None of the other six commissioners continued that discussion, but they did hand Roche a smackdown. By tenure, Roche was in line to become vice chairman next year and therefore chairman of the County Commission in 2014. Instead, the position of vice chair went to commissioner Karen Seel.
"It's an election by us," commissioner Susan Latvala told Roche.
Mechanically, fluoridation of Pinellas water could resume in a matter of days. However, there will probably be a brief delay while public notice is given.
County officials suspect many parents started giving their children fluoride supplements the past year. They will need to know when to stop that practice, because it is possible to ingest too much fluoride.

Do You Ever Shorten Titles On Air?
by Lynn Walsh on Aug.30, 2011, under In the News, What's New
A story written for the Radio Television Digital News Association:
Aug 30 2011
By Lynn Walsh, RTDNA Blogger
Journalism is about informing the public and providing information. While we are producing the stories and videos for the public we want them to be easy to understand, right?
When you work to make something informative and also easy to understand it can sometimes make telling the story a little more difficult. Questions like: what details do you include? and what information gets left out? come up all the time!
Those questions can also go beyond facts about the story to information about the people being interviewed in your story. What do you call them? Do you include their formal title that can be a combination of three, four, five and sometimes more words or do you just shorten it to make it faster to say on-air?

Prominent developer targets anonymous blogger in First Amendment battle
by Lynn Walsh on Aug.17, 2011, under Investigations, Multimedia, What's New
A story written for BrowardBulldog:
A First Amendment battle has erupted between a prominent South Florida developer and a blogger, who so far has only been identified as "John Doe."
Raanan Katz, a minority owner of the Miami Heat, and his family-owned company R.K. Associates are suing the anonymous blogger for defamation and libel for reports he claims are false and malicious.
The blogger's Fort Lauderdale attorney, Robert Kain, argues in court papers that his client is a "citizen journalist" deserving of First Amendment protection because his reporting on Katz is about "matters of public concern."
"Doe is an anonymous citizen journalist critically reporting what he considers to be abusive litigation tactics and prior criminal convictions by a well know public person Raanan Katz and Katz' companies," the papers say.
Katz's filed the case in state court in June, but it has since been removed to federal court in Miami. Katz dropped an additional claim for false advertising against the blogger last week.
In Journalism, How Much Do Titles Matter?
by Lynn Walsh on Aug.17, 2011, under What's New
A story written for the Society of Professional Journalists' Generation J committee and the Radio Television Digital News Association:
Aug 17 2011
By Lynn Walsh, RTDNA Blogger & SPJ Generation J Committee Head
Are you a multimedia journalist or a video journalist? Or are you a multimedia producer? Or maybe you consider yourself a digital journalist?
As the technology in the newsroom continues to change, the responsibilities of each person in the newsroom is also changing.
A reporter may now also be considered a photographer, an editor, a web producer, etc. More and more of us do more than just write stories or make the phone calls and do the research for the stories. We are also responsible for taking the pictures, shooting video, creating an online story and more, all while still reporting.
5 Ways To Become An Expert in Your Newsroom
by Lynn Walsh on Aug.16, 2011, under What's New
A story written for the Radio Television Digital News Association:
Aug 09 2011
By Lynn Walsh, RTDNA Blogger
As news consumption and delivery continues to change, your role in the newsroom probably continues to change too. Sometimes probably more quickly than you would like.
While you cannot always control what story you are covering on a particular day, you can work to help shape the topics and stories you become remembered and known for.
I think the best way to do this is to think about what you want to become an expert in. Think of it as the go-to person in your newsroom when someone needs a source, story idea or advice about a particular story.
You could be an expert in almost anything. Maybe it is a particular beat (city council, the local school board political races, etc.) or maybe it is a type of reporting (investigations, consumer, breaking news, etc.) You could also become an expert based on mastering certain skills (mobile reporting, creating multimedia and interactive web tools, public information requests, etc.)

The school year is over or almost over. Have you thought about what to do this summer to keep your kids occupied and stimulated? By the time mid-summer rolls around, kids are sick of playing in the yard, have been to the pool a million times, and are begging you to take them some place fun. In this economy, this can get expensive for some. Here is a list of free (or almost free) things to do this summer:

Early this spring, our family received a letter in the mail notifying us that the price of water was going to increase by 17%, effective immediately. With seven people in our family, we probably use a little more water than the average family for baths, laundry, and dishes, but it is our large garden that requires the most water of all.
We have many wonderful museums and galleries in the KC area, but the best thing of all is that a lot of them are FREE!!!!!
One of my favorites is the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. I have memories of going there as a child on field trips, accompanying my children on their field trips, and now enjoying visits with my children as adults. Hopefully...someday...with grandchildren!
Here is a list of many other museums in the area that are free:
My issue is not that I don't want to spend money on the holidays; it's that I don't have any money to spend in the first place. I'm a college student, and I follow the financial stereotype of my office to the letter. When the holidays roll around, it feels like I should eat something a little nicer than usual, but it seems silly to cook a huge meal for just myself. So, after some thinking and inspiration, I've come up with ways to make a holiday meal for one on a tight budget.
Birthday gifts, gas prices, childcare, groceries! You name it, we are paying for it. It's always nice to save money with savvy shopping, but you may not be aware there are other financial corners we can cut in our daily lives as well.
When you're in high school, sometimes, the only thing you can think about is how it just makes you insane. You want to get out as soon as humanly possible, which I understand. In high school, I enjoyed almost every moment of it… but then there were those times when I could care less whether I flipped burgers or invented the hoverboard. (I have three years left.) And yet, college is even more stressful than its predecessor.
Study? On my own time? Are you kidding me?
Looking for things to do with the kids this summer? Would you like them to be FREE or cheap? I have found some great deals for you. You can always take advantage of MCPL's free Events, Databases, and free items.
Recently, many families have returned to eating as a family at the dinner table. As food costs continue to rise and with less time to prepare a meal, cooks are always searching for quick, easy, and affordable meals.
