Trading in the van.
I dont think i've ever had a moment so bitter-sweet. Ive been waiting and wanting a new car, but doing so we have to trade in the van. It honestly symbolizes so much.
We initially got the van for my mom so we can have comfortable road trips together, as a family. One of the first things she did was hang the med-sized crystal that she had gotten from a date with my dad years ago on the rear view mirror. The van was used on a daily basis once we bought it, and we all instantly loveed it. When my mom got sick, she was not allowed to drive as much anymore because all the medications she was given could have impaired her driving skills. Over time she was not only recommended not to drive, but was in a physical state when she could not even get the energy to get up and drive. Months later, after my mom passed away and seldom did we ever ride in the van. We would go months with the van parked in the driveway, with out being touched or driven.
It was not used until one summer when my brothers, father and I took the van down to LA on a road trip. It was the most fun I've ever had with my brothers and Dad in awhile. After that trip, the van was starting to be used a little more for family drives to visit Mom, other fairly long drives, and Aj and Chris would use it whenever their cars broke down and were in the shop. As we got older, the van was mostly used between Chris and Aj, driving with their friends to weekend adventures.
When I started pursuing my license, my father bought me a Honda Accord. We only had that car for a couple months, because withing the first week of ownership it was stolen, and stolen again within a 4 months period after that. When I finally got my license, I drove the van. I would complain here and there about it being too big, that it guzzles up too much gas, but I knew come graduation time, I would get a new car. Months closer and close to graduation my dad said he was looking for the perfect car for me, but financially we could not afford it. I was not too devastated, I still had the van to drive. It always came in handy when I went out with all my friends, anyways. Every couple weeks, a new person would make fun of my 'soccer mom van', that the name eventually stuck. One of the biggest highlights of senior year was the countless amounts of memories made in my van. Every day after school we would go out to eat in my van. All of spring break, we rode in my van. Soon enough, we were taking trips to San Jose, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, and even San Diego with my van. All those years it was sitting in the driveway, was being made up for now. It was then considered mine, and I was driving it all over the place. The van was my first car. Its almost been 2 years since I've been driving the van, and we had a blast. I don't think I could have asked for a better first car. Sure it wasn't too 'cool', not the best gas- saver.. But it most definitely generated a lot of memories.
Last Monday when my dad called me and told me we're getting me my new car, words can not explain how ecstatic I was. He told me we were trading in the Van, and I didn't care, I was getting a new car. A couple factors pushed the date of getting my new car a couple days later, but I did not mind. When we were talking about cleaning out the van before the trade, my dad reminded me to take the med-sized crystal ball with me, and that's when it hit. All that my van symbolized, all the memories within my van, are no longer going to be there. As my dad said that, everything flashed before me, and my eyes became moist. It was not until that moment did I realize how much the van has been through with our family, and even with my friends. Never, has a moment ever been so bittersweet.

If you are pregnant, then the urine home pregnancy test HPT can be positive as early as 10-11 days after ovulation and fertilization. That would be several days before the next menstrual period. The blood pregnancy hCG test is usually positive several days earlier.
An early positive pregnancy test becomes positive only after the fertilized egg has first implanted into the uterus and then sent enough amounts of hCG, human chorionic gonadotropin, the pregnancy hormone, into your blood stream and from there into the urine.
Implantation, when the fertilized egg implants into the endometrium, happens about a week after ovulation (range: 6-12 days), and it takes another 3-4 days after implantation (9-16 dpo: days after ovulation) for the blood pregnancy test to first become positive, followed 2-3 days later by the early positive pregnancy urine test, the home pregnancy test (HPT).
The wide variation of when the urine pregnancy test becomes positive and how early pregnancy can be detected are due to four variables which determine when the home urine pregnancy test becomes positive:
A pregnancy test detects the presence of the pregnancy hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) either in the blood or in the urine. The hCG in the urine comes from the hCG in the blood after it was filtered through the kidney. After ovulation, the egg gets fertilized and travels through the fallopian tube toward the uterus. This travel takes an average of a week. Implantation, the attachment of the fertilized egg in the lining of the uterus, occurs on average about a week or later after ovulation/fertilization, but it can happen as early as six days and as late as 12 days after fertilization/ovulation. At the time of implantation the placenta starts making the pregnancy hormone hCG, which then enters the blood stream. How early pregnancy can be detected depends on the pregnancy hormone hcG which can be detected in the blood about three to four days after implantation. Urine hCG can be detected about two to three days after blood hCG can first be seen. Detection of hCG depends on timing of implantation, so hCG can normally be detected in the blood between nine and 16 days after ovulation (HPT: 12-19 days after ovulation).
There is a wide normal variation of hCG levels, both in the blood and the urine and this wide range changes the diagnosis of how early can pregnancy be detected. If a woman has low blood hCG levels, for example, then it can take several more days for it to show up on a pregnancy test.
Urine hCG levels change over the course of the day depending on how much you drink and how diluted or concentrated the urine is. Urine pregnancy testing is best done with more concentrated urine. So how early can pregnancy be detected depends on the urine concentration and the quality of the early positive pregnancy test. If you drink a lot of fluid, the urine may be too diluted early on in pregnancy to achieve an hCG concentration adequate enough for a positive test.
Different pregnancy tests have different sensitivities and that has an impact on how early can pregnancy be detected. The lower the sensitivity, the earlier a pregnancy test becomes positive. Sensitivities are indicated in mIU/mL, the lowest amount of hCG in the urine that tests positive. A sensitivity of 20 mIU/mL requires one-half the hCG level to be positive when compared with a 40 mIU/mL sensitivity level, and it may become positive several days earlier than the pregnancy test with a higher sensitivity. Make sure you read the package of the pregnancy test to determine your pregnancy test's sensitivity.

Androzani MinorTalk0
|Androzani Minor
|Sirius system, Mutter's Spiral
|Queen bat, Magma Beast
|The Caves of Androzani
Androzani Minor was a dry, sandy planet close to Androzani Major.
Astronomical data Edit
Androzani Minor was a desert planet, its oceans having dried up billions of years ago. Due to the unusual composition of the planet, boiling hot mud flowed throughout the planet's crust, blasting its way to the surface in dangerous explosions. The planet was riddled with caves (actually blowholes) that had been excavated by the violent mud flows, some of which lacked oxygen. Despite the conditions of the planet, it had a breathable atmosphere and was home to such life as the queen bats and the Magma Beasts. (TV: The Caves of Androzani)
History Edit
Please help by adding some more information.
Androzani Minor was colonised by humans to gather the spectrox found in the caves. They used androids to harvest it. The supply was controlled by Morgus and Sharaz Jek, but Morgus betrayed Sharaz and caused him to be scarred by a mud burst. Sharaz tried to fight back with his androids. They were countered by Morgus' federal forces. The Fifth Doctor and Peri happened to land on Androzani Minor at this time. They were caught up in the conflict and developed spectrox toxaemia. By the end of the conflict, Sharaz, Morgus and his men were killed. The Doctor managed to find a queen bat and extract her milk, the only known cure for spectrox toxameia. As Peri fell victim to the final stages of the illness, the Doctor carried her in his arms back to the TARDIS, fighting off the effects of paralysis. He took a stumble in the desert because of the difficult it took to will himself to move, spilling a large amount of the milk. When he found refuge in the TARDIS, he found there was only enough milk to cure one of them. He gave what was left to Peri, who would die without treatment. The Doctor willingly sacrificed his life, knowing he could regenerate, and soon changed into his sixth incarnation. (TV: The Caves of Androzani)
When the Great Intelligence invaded the Doctor's time stream on Trenzalore to turn all of his victories into defeats, Androzani was one of the many places where the Doctor died. (TV: The Name of the Doctor)

The only positive about Friday night's 4-0 loss in Washington is it appears the Blackhawks did not suffer any injuries. The Hawks had basically nothing to play and they were not engaged mentally as mistakes happened with regularity.
Following the loss, Joel Quenneville mentioned this game was one to throw in the garbage can. Duncan Keith was not dressed and there should be others who get time off tonight in Nashville.
Corey Crawford looked like he couldn't keep his concentration at times and gave up a couple of bad goals. Crawford was hung out on quite a few occasions and did make some good saves. Antti Raanta came in for third period and stopped the bleeding. Raanta is likely to get the start versus the Predators.
The Capitals had nothing at all to play but they took an early lead and carried a 4-0 advantage into the final frame. Washington has the top goal scorer in Alex Ovechkin and one of the best playmaking centers in Niklas Backstrom. Despite some high end talent on their roster the Caps will not be participating in the playoffs.
The Blackhawks had very little to gain with a win except for one possibility. The Hawks entered the game with the same amount of points as the Sharks (107). If the playoffs boiled down to Chicago facing San Jose the team with the highest point total would have home ice advantage.
Quenneville will hold his breath for one more game and hope the injury bug doesn't bite. My guess is Marian Hossa and Patrick Sharp could get the night off.
Quenneville may look to call up a defenseman from Rockford and rest some of his blueliners. Both Keith and Niklas Hjalmarsson went to the Olympics and have played a lot of minutes. The IceHogs are hanging on by a thread to capture a playoff spot so they need their better players as they have a game tonight too.
The Hawks will look to have a better effort in Nashville. Focus was lacking in Washington and Quenneville will have to work hard to get his squad excited to play the Predators.

Thanks again for all your help. Exactly right! I updated as suggested: #define SAM3XA_SERIES (SAM3X4 || SAM3X8 || SAM3A4 || SAM3A8)
The example builds, executes and is debuggable via SAM-ICE. I will now undertake some more testing.
BTW, I did try the Atmel Studio 6.1 beta (build 2440). I set up for ATSAM3X8E. I found that there appeared to be a problem when setting up the toolchain in Project Properties. Just by selecting the toolchain configuration to be "All Configurations" an application error was displayed: "Error occurred computing the All Configuration settings". I tried uninstalling, re-downloading and re-installing but the problem persisted. So, it seemed to be unusable. I wonder if anybody else has come across this? I then installed the earlier version: 6.0.1996 - Service Pack 2 that I am currently using.

Last weekend, I shot my first Steel Challenge. It was a lot of fun. It's different than shooting IDPA or USPSA and I enjoyed it.
The scoring was really simple, I really like that. The scoring for USPSA can be really confusing, and IDPA is only a little better. I know, you can figure it out, but it takes some work.
The Steel Challenge was simply raw time on some stages. Just shoot all the plates. It doesn't matter how long it takes and your score is your time. That would be stages without a stop plate. Other stages have a stop plate, and that's simply the one you shoot last to stop your time. Again, it's raw time, you just add 3 seconds for any plate that you didn't hit.
So there isn't a lot of strategy, just shoot all of the plates as fast as you can and then the stop plate. It's really more fun than it sounds and more challenging than it sounds. All the stages I shot had plates seven yards and out with the longest shot being about 35 yards. I'd say the average was about 10 to 12 yards.
The distances make point shooting almost impossible so you have to find your sights on every shot. And that is the problem for me. I'm used to shooting other action games where I can find a couple sight pictures per stage. Most of the IDPA matches I shoot I use a flash sight picture or point shooting.
I use point shooting by bringing the firearm up to eye level while still looking at the target. I never see the sights and just press the trigger when the gun is covering the target. This technique is sometimes called "metal on meat" or, in other words, when there is target on each side of the gun you should make a hit.
A flash sight picture for me is still focusing on the target but seeing my sights are aligned in my peripheral vision. I never focus on the sights and this allows me to move faster from target to target.
In the Steel Challenge, I couldn't do that. An eight-inch plate is really small looking at 15 yards and I had to focus on my front sight to make most of the hits. When I got sloppy, I missed.
The other thing this competition pointed out to me (actually one of the other competitors) was that most of my shots where hitting low and left. I'm a right hand shooter using an isosceles stance so all you smart people probably know what that means? It means that I'm anticipating the recoil. I'm trying to push those follow up shots so I'm pushing the gun down before the bullet exits the barrel. That's bad, really bad. So I'll be doing a lot of dry practice to get rid of that bad habit again.
All in all, I had a great time shooting a steel challenge. If you haven't shot one, go find one in your area. If you are in the San Antonio area check out Texas Steel Challenge. It was a lot of fun!
Stay Safe,

Former Oakland TE Christensen dead at 57By PAUL FOY
The Associated Press | November 14,2013AP FILE PHOTO
This Nov. 16, 1986 photo provided by the NFL shows Los Angeles Raiders tight end Todd Christensen (46) being congratulated by Marcus Allen (32) after scoring on a 3-yard touchdown reception during the Raiders 27-14 victory over the Cleveland Browns in Los Angeles.SALT LAKE CITY Former Raiders tight end and five-time Pro Bowl selection Todd Christensen died from complications during liver transplant surgery. He was 57.
Christensens son, Toby Christensen, said his father died Wednesday morning at Intermountain Medical Center near his home in Alpine, Utah.
Ive been receiving hundreds of texts, Facebook postings and emails from everybody with a story about my dad, Toby Christensen said.
After a stellar career at running back for BYU from 1974-77, Christensen was a second-round pick for the Dallas Cowboys in the 1978 NFL draft.
He was waived by the Cowboys after breaking his foot in training camp but landed the next year with the Raiders, where he played for 10 seasons at tight end and won Super Bowls in 1981 and 1984.
In 1983, he had 92 catches, setting the NFL record at the time for tight ends. He finished the season with 1,247 yards receiving and 12 touchdowns.
He broke his own record three seasons later with 95 catches. He finished his pro career with 467 catches for 5,872 yards and 41 touchdowns. He surpassed 1,000 yards receiving in three different seasons.
Christensen, at 6-foot-3 and 230 pounds, never fit the Raiders untamed mold. He was a thoughtful son of a professor, and even read his own poetry at a Super Bowl press conference. He later self-published three books of poetry.
Christensen played on four Western Conference Championship teams for BYU, catching 152 passes for 1,568 yards and 15 touchdowns. He was inducted into the schools Hall of Fame in 1992.
He had great skill, BYU football Hall of Fame coach LaVell Edwards told the Daily Herald of Provo, Utah. He ran the ball well and he caught the ball extremely well. He had excellent ability in all areas and those are the things that stand out.
Christensen was a color commentator for the NFL on NBC from 1990-94, and did color commentary for ESPN and the now-defunct MountainWest Sports Network before handling Navy games for CBS Sports Network in the 2012 season.
Christensen was a devout Mormon who didnt drink, and his family believes his liver problems started 25 years ago after a botched gall bladder operation, his son told The Associated Press.
A native of Pennsylvania, Christensens family moved to Eugene, Ore., when he was a child and he became a standout at Sheldon High School. He was later inducted into the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame.
Christensen is survived by his wife and four sons. The family was making plans for a funeral as early as Saturday at a local Mormon church ward house in Alpine.

TEAMS: Los Angeles Clippers, Oklahoma City Thunder
How was your Tuesday night? Not as good as Floyd Mayweather's. Money decided to head down to the Staples Center for some NBA action between the Clippers and Thunder and obviously landed courtside seats to take in the action. He placed a few casual bets last night to make the game a little more excited, since apparently Blake Griffin, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook just isn't enough to keep him entertained. The first bet was $90,000 on the Thunder -1.5 in the first half. OKC covered that bet, leading 49-45 at half. That wasn't enough. Sensing the Thunder were on the road to victory, he dropped another $71,818 at halftime for the Thunder to cover .5 in the second half. Again, they did, outscoring the Clippers 60-52. Of course Floyd doesn't show all his losing tickets because he doesn't lose, right? Just another Tuesday for Money Mayweather, however the crowd didn't seem to be too thrilled to see him in attendance.

Fraunhofer IESE, one of 56 institutes of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, is one of the world leading research institutes in the field of software and systems engineering. A vast majority of the products and services delivered by the collaboration partners of IESE is defined by software. These products and services range from automotive and transportation systems to telecommunication and telematics equipment, from information systems and medical devices to software systems for the public sector. "Formalising our working relationship with MARSEC-XL by joining its MI-SE@MALTA Foundation is an exciting step for Fraunhofer IESE bringing an entirely new and highly sophisticated application domain to our portfolio. The marine sector, and yachting in particular, already deliver hi-tech products and systems that offer significant opportunities for further innovation and integration," commented Prof. Rombach at the ceremony. MCAST, Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology, is a highly successful and fast growing leading education institution in Malta. With over 5,000 students in its nine institutes and international acclaimed industry collaborations, MCAST has a significant footprint in the Maltese educational system and economy. Four of its specialized institutes namely, the Institute of Information and Communication Technology, the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering and the Maritime Institute provide an ideal mix of expertise to engage with MI-SE@MALTA Foundation and assist it to attain its mission. Prof. Grech stated: "Together with Fraunhofer we are delighted to join MARSEC-XL to help strengthen further the research and educational aspect of this unique initiative in the yachting sector. This fits perfectly with MCAST's objectives to further its operations in the marine sector and to prepare students for today's and tomorrow's jobs". The MARSEC-XL Foundation (Marine Software Engineering Cluster of Excellence) sets out to shape the digital future of the yachting industry focusing on marine systems and software engineering. The mission of MARSEC-XL is to provide an unbroken sustainable innovation chain encompassing a range of activities from applied research, education and training to business operations and technology transfer.

I'm on the treadmill getting ready for a week-long walk with the Latin American Coalition. Why would anyone want to walk one week straight? I'll let them answer that question.
"I want to walk because I graduated from West Meck in 2009," said Elver Barrios with the Latin American Coalition.
"I graduated without knowing what i was going to do with my life," said Elver.
"Every year, a lot of students graduate and don't have the opportunity to go to college because we have to pay out-of-state tuition," said Jessica Contreras, a high school senior.
"I was accepted to many colleges, but couldn't go because I had to pay out-of-state tuition, couldn't get financial aid or a loan. I was deviated I couldn't continue my education," said Elver.
Which shoe to pick? There are so many shoes. You need someone to educate you to find the best fit for you.
Just imagine undocumented students unable to get an education…a higher education. That's what they're battling for in this walk.
"If we get in-state tuition passed by the legislature, I think we'll be creating a better future for our state," said Elver.
"I want the legislators to know, we really want this bill. We really want in-state tuition. I myself really want to go to college. Who doesn't have a dream? Who doesn't want to be somebody?" said Jessica.
So far I have tried on 3 types of shoes, but there will be challenges on the road that no pair of shoes can prepare you for.
"In one of the cities where we're stopping, someone commented there's a lot of anti-immigrant groups. We didn't know whether or not to go there. We decided to show them we're not scared," said Jessica.
I got a new pair of shoes for next week's journey, but after this walk, these students are hoping for a new shot at higher education.
"Doesn't matter the color of your skin, your religion, where you come from, whether you're documented or not. I believe education is a right. That's why I'm walking," said Elver.
You can follow the journey from Charlotte to Raleigh here on our website as well as social media: @FountainFOX46 on Twitter and Caroline Fountain FOX46 on Facebook.
Here's some background to the battle for in-state tuition. Watch this story about two high school valedictorian candidates who are having a hard time making it to college because they're undocumented.

Perfect dinners in a pinch with 316 quick-and-easy recipes!
As kids, sisters Jessica and Susan Partain crafted miniature food for their dolls. As adults, they've founded inediblejewelry.com, where they sell an amazing variety of whimsical food charms and jewelry.
The two recently collaborated on a "cookbook" of clay cookery basics—The Polymer Clay Cookbook: Tiny Food Jewelry to Whip Up and Wear—and instructions for 20 wee foods. Here, they share directions to make their "yummy cupcake" charm.
Start with the cake part. Roll the ball of brown clay into a small cylinder.
Then set the cylinder on end and gently press to flatten the bottom and top.
Use a needle or stippling tool to make tiny indentations all over the surface. Don't forget the bottom!
Thoroughly mix the larger ball of red and the white ball to create an even pink color. Flatten the pink ball into an uneven pancake about twice the diameter of the top of your cake cylinder. The edge of the pancake should be a bit thinner than the middle.
Center the frosting on top of the cake, then gently fold down the edges of the frosting onto the cylinder. Press the edge of a safety pin into the side of the cupcake to create parallel, evenly spaced lines all around.
Push the point of the headpin through the bottom center of your cupcake until the head is flush with the bottom.
Roll the remaining red clay into a very smooth ball. Slide the cherry onto the headpin and down until it rests on top. Bake for 18 minutes at 275°.
Finish the headpin by making it into a wrapped loop.
Making a Wrapped Loop
Glazing (Optional)
To glaze your piece, make sure it is cool and dry. Carefully paint an even layer of glaze onto your piece. Try not to put too much glaze on it or you'll get drips and an uneven coat.
One trick is to grip the headpin with a large binder clip so you can cover all sides of a piece with glaze at once. The binder clip can be used to keep the charm suspended until the glaze is dry, which usually takes half an hour.
Find cupcake recipes to go with your fun cupcake charms!

Australian all-rounder Shane Watson says they will take a cue from the way England successfully countered the Indian spinners this winter, in the upcoming four-match Test series starting here on Friday.
"England certainly showed that and the guys who got big runs made it easier for the others. One thing in India is that it's hard to start your innings, so if you can get a start, it's important to go on and get those really big scores like England did," Watson said.
"Then you have plenty of runs to play with throughout the Test. There's no doubt that the Indian spinners are very highly skilled, especially in these conditions. So it will be a big challenge for us.Read more

While it is imperative that the United States implement a sound currency and budgetary model, I am thoroughly unconvinced that a return to a 'precious' metals backed currency is the best way to accomplish this. The proposals that have been of greatest interest to me focus on an energy backed currency. One means of implementation can be examined here http://energybackedmoney.com... Chapter 7 I think provides a very concise overview.

The National Academy for Parenting Research (NAPR) has an internationally recognised research programme to help bring real change to the way practitioners work with parents.
In 2010, NAPR began the fourth year of a 5 year research programme funded by the Department for Education (DfE). Our aim is to ensure that practitioners are aware of and applying the results of evidence based parenting research to their everyday practice when working with children, parents and carers.
Our extensive and internationally recognised research programme is designed to change the way practitioners work with parents by developing and testing innovative approaches in the way services are delivered to families and children.
Using an evidence-based approach we carry out rigorous research to identify
Our ambition is that practitioners in the voluntary, private and public sectors are
provided with information about what has been proven to work when working with
parents, carers and families. The aim is for parents to improve their parenting skills and in turn improve their children's lives so they grow into happy, stable and responsible adults.

text: Allen made headlines and then some beginning in 2001, when the thespian came out of the closet as a homosexual; in addition to embracing his status as a gay male (and discussing his orientation at length in a series of publications including The Advocate), he co-founded a production company, Mythgarden, devoted to dramatically expanding the number of LGBT themes explored in contemporary cinema and television. The Roman Catholic-raised actor stirred up some controversy in certain sectors when he signed on in 2005 to portray Nate Saint, a missionary murdered by Ecuadorian tribes, and Steve Saint, the missionary's son, in the inspirational religious drama End of the Spear (2005), though only because the feature found an audience among conservative evangelical audiences. In 2008, Allen produced and starred in the drama Save Me. The tale of a deeply confused gay man lured into a "Christian recovery center" by an evangelical couple, it critiqued conservative evangelical attitudes (and harsh hypocrisy) often directed toward the contemporary gay community. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Conservative Radio Hosts Parse Feminists: Some are 'Cute,' Some are 'Ugly,' All are 'Family-Destroying Whores'
SUBMITTED BY: Miranda Blue, Friday 01/25/2013, 1:28pm
Christian conservative radio hosts Kevin Swanson and Dave Buehner are not exactly big fans of feminism in any of its forms. So far this month, they have opined that a woman fired for being too attractive shouldn't have been working for a man who wasn't her husband in the first place; that "socialist" single women are taking over America; and that Sandra Fluke isn't "ladylike" enough to be considered for Woman of the Year. On Tuesday's edition of Generations Radio, Swanson and Buehner sat down in Swanson's basement studio to discuss a... MORE

For the second edition of James Dobson's Family Talk program criticizing the feminist movement with former Focus on the Family vice president Diane Passno, the two fielded questions from an audience of young adults. One young woman asked what they would recommend to a person like herself who is "not ready to be a mom and a wife" but does have career aspirations. Passno, who is promoting her new book that criticizes feminism, told her that it is wonderful she has so many "opportunities that women of my era never had," seeming to overlook the fact that the...

Obama Administration is a Phyllis Schlafly Nightmare: 'Whatever the Feminists Want, the Feminists Get'
SUBMITTED BY: Brian Tashman, Wednesday 09/05/2012, 5:00pm
Eagle Forum founder Phyllis Schlafly yesterday spoke to the American Family Association's Sandy Rios to denounce the Democratic National Platform's support for reproductive freedom and marriage equality. According to Schlafly, "the feminists completely control the Obama administration" and "whatever the feminists want, the feminists get," including endorsements of abortion rights and same-sex marriage. There is "support of everything the feminists want," Schlafly lamented, "It's a very destructive force in our society." Rios... MORE

James Dobson dedicated yet another program on Family Talk to criticizing the "radical feminist movement," this time interviewing Diane Passno of Focus on the Family, the Religious Right group founded by Dobson. Passno is out with a new book, Feminism: Mystique or Mistake?, which features a foreword by conservative talk show host Janet Parshall. Passno claimed that the feminist movement has "distorted" its Christian past and "is now completely antagonistic to the Christian faith," and revealed her own unfamiliarity with feminism by arguing that contemporary...

James Dobson is holding feminists responsible for the objectification of women in American culture, quoting from a 2007 article from Marc Gellman in his latest column that maintains that the feminist movement "surrendered women to predatory men who have taken women's newfound freedom as the perfect opportunity to surrender all sexual responsibility, respect and gallantry." He laments that women rich and poor now "become bimbos," pointing out that he sees "the bimbofication of young girls all the time in my affluent suburban synagogue." After setting... MORE

Phyllis Schlafly is an all-around right-wing activist who has been around forever. You could say she was Tea Party before her time, railing against liberals and taxes and the UN's threat to US sovereignty. Her 2009 "How to Take Back America" conference was an amazing gathering at which health care reform was described as fascism, President Obama was described by Rep. Trent Franks as an "enemy of humanity," and attendees were encouraged to buy guns and ammo to defend themselves against impending tyranny. But Schlafly's real bread and butter is the hostility to...

Bill Bennett appeared on The 700 Club today to promote his new book The Book of Man. He and Pat Robertson used the time to lament the rise of women in American society and the supposed decimation of manhood. Bennett claimed that "feminism" and "gay culture" confused and blurred gender lines, and seemed to mourn the fact that women are now taking positions of authority in society once reserved only for men. Robertson cited the promotion of Virginia Rometty, who is succeeding Sam Palmisano to be CEO of IBM, and warned of a pending "matriarchy." Watch:... MORE

Don't Turn Over Reader List To IRS Rules Judge Hall
Posted By Jeffrey Eisenberg On September 4, 2007 @ 8:39 am In Blogs,Journalism,Publishing | 3 Comments
[1]Can the IRS obtain information about what you read on a website even if you have done nothing wrong?
I didn't think it was possible until I read "Order on Tax Evasion Site Blocked [2]" in the NY Times:
On Friday, Judge Peter W. Hall temporarily blocked the portion of the order requiring Mr. Schulz to turn over to the government the names and identifying details of people who had obtained information at the Web site on how to stop federal tax from being withheld from their paychecks.
My position is clear, I'm a card carrying member of the ACLU. Do you think the IRS should be able to get that list?

TEAMS: New Jersey Devils, Minnesota Wild, St. Louis Blues
By Kristin Tullo (@K_Tullo) In between periods of the scrimmage taking place between the New Jersey Devils and their AHLô affiliate, Lou Lamoriello announced that forward Travis Zajac has signed a long term contract extension. The contract isô reportedlyô eight-years worth $46M, with a cap hit of $5.75M per season, starting in the 2013-2014 season. The length of Zajacãs contract would be the max a player can get when re-signing with his current NHL team under the new CBA. The Winnipeg native has 91 goals and 164 assists in his tenure with the Devils since appearing in his first NHL game in 2006. Zajac was the 20th overall draft pick in 2004. Zajac is the last man standing from a top-producing line the Devils once had, dubbed ãZZ-Popsã where he played with Zach Parise and Jamie Langenbrunner. The post New Jersey Devils Re-sign Travis Zajac appeared first on The Hockey Guys.

Don't neglect treatmentAugust 17,2014According to Michael Touchette, director of facilities for Vermonts Corrections Department, there were more than 200 instances of contraband drugs entering the states prisons in each year of the three-year period ending in 2012.
To combat this smuggling activity, he told state legislators last week that corrections officers and other members of the prison staff soon will be subjected to searches as they enter secure sections of the states facilities.
The searches, which might involve metal detectors, will comply with a law passed by the Legislature earlier this year. Staff members will not be subjected to frisking, the lawmakers were told.
Only in some instances he described them as a tiny minority has the smuggling of the drugs involved members of prison staffs, Touchette said. But not everyone agrees.
Gordon Bock, who runs the prisoners rights group CURE-Vermont, maintained the involvement of prison staff is a larger problem than that.
Bock told the legislators its an open secret that for years it hasnt only been visitors and the prisoners themselves who have been involved in schemes to smuggle the forbidden drugs into the prisons.
As for the introduction of the searches, Bock said its about time.
Lisa Menard, deputy corrections commissioner, said officials plan to develop the data needed to get a firmer handle on the scale of the contraband problem before putting the new rules into effect.
Vermonts citizens naturally want to prevent the flow of illicit drugs into the states prison system, and officials obviously want to do their part to eliminate smuggling as a problem.
But the issue of drugs being smuggled into Vermonts prisons reflects our entire nations problem with illegal substances.
Consider the plight of the law-abiding people of Central America, where drug cartels are responsible for a degree of lawlessness that makes our own countrys problems with crime seem mild by comparison.
These cartels live off the profits generated by the appetite for illegal drugs north of the border.
And the problem goes deeper than that. David Stack, a prominent critic of the war on drugs and a psychiatrist who specializes in drug addiction, frets about an epidemic of drug abuse in our nations prisons.
If Stack had his way, he wrote in a recently published essay, there would be a much greater focus on improving prison conditions because, as it is, he argues, our prison system does little more than teach addicts how to be better addicts.
As chief executive officer of a network of addiction treatment centers, Stack would appear to be well positioned to know the scale of the problem.
Inmates are likely to find a drug trade as active as the one outside prison walls, he wrote. Many is the time Ive listened sadly as family members have consoled themselves about a loved ones incarceration by saying, At least hell have to quit using now. If only.
According to Stack, of the more than 2.3 million people in our nations prisons and jails, more than 65 percent meet medical criteria for substance abuse addiction.
When you combine this with those who have histories of substance abuse, were under the influence when they committed a crime, committed it to get drug money or were incarcerated for a drug or alcohol violation, the percentage rises to 85 percent, he added.
But most disturbing is the fact that inmates who do hope to kick an addiction cant count on getting the help they need, he continued.
The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University found that only 11 percent of inmates with substance use issues received treatment in federal and state prisons or local jails.
The best that most can hope for is occasional mutual support or peer counseling meetings, Stack observed. No wonder that more than half of inmates with addiction histories relapse within a month of release.
Preventing the smuggling of drugs into prisons is obviously a good idea. But Stack also calls for trained staffs that understand how to use the best treatments, including medication-assisted therapy.
He also favors long-term treatment programs that continue to treat inmates addiction problems after theyve been released.
The obvious problem with Stacks prescription is its cost, but in his view we cant afford not to do it.
As it stands now, he said, only 1.9 cents of every dollar our federal and state governments spend on substance use and addiction go to pay for prevention and treatment; 95.6 percent pay for the consequences.
So by all means take measures to prevent the smuggling of contraband into our prisons. But also give careful thought to what Stack, an authority on the subject, has to say.MORE IN PerspectiveAs I watched President Barack Obama, addressing the United Nations General Assembly this past...
