Oscar Chalupsky wins day 1 of Te Toa Nui Race (Tahiti)

Welcome back to our new regular feature, Authors Recommending Books. Want to know what authors read in their spare time? Check it out here. Want to know what your favorite author is reading? Ask it in the comments section and I'll try to get the answer for you. Good books aren't always just new books as you can see here. Authors can send their recommendations to maggiemaepw @ gmail.com.
Jeanne Adams recommends The Best Man by Kristan Higgins. Kristin has a knack for pulling the heartstrings even as she gets the reader involved with her quirky, funny and fabulous characters. You get to know the town, the family and feel a part of every story she writes.
Tracey Devlyn highly recommends Blood Trinity by Dianna Love and Sherrilyn Kenyon. I love the entire Belador series! Evalle is bad ass and the sexual tension between Evalle and Storm keeps me turning the pages.
Shirley Jump highly recommends Carolina Home by Virginia Kantra. I love everything she writes! She never fails to make me cry!
Tonya Kappes recommends It Takes a Witch: A Wishcrafter Mystery by Heather Blake. Heather delivers a page turning mystery with many subplots that tie right into the main plot. Blake has built a magical world full of whimsical characters and creatures with a fun loving witch family in the Enchanted Village. Blake will have you wondering who did what and laughing all at the same time.
Allison Leotta recommends Kathleen McCleary's Leaving Haven. The first chapter starts with a woman leaving a much-wanted baby at the hospital, and the rest of the book goes back in time to reveal why she did it. This is an emotionally charged and incredibly plotted story about friendship, love, betrayal, and consequences.
Adrienne Giordano recommends Flashpoint by Suzanne Brockmann. Flashpoint is part of the Troubleshooters series and was the first book I read by Suzanne. After reading it, I went back and read each book in the series and love her flawed characters.
Marilyn Baron recommends The English Girl, by Daniel Silva (Suspense and Foreign Intrigue). I love Daniel Silva's Gabriel Allon character—master assassin, art restorer and spy—and this novel may be the best yet in his series. Mystery, mistresses, mayhem and great writing. This book has it all.
Mary Buckham loves Patricia McLinn's, Sign Off. The debut of a new mystery series the finely developed characters, whip-sharp dialogue and setting put this on my keeper shelf.
Angie Fox recommends Beauty and the Bounty Hunter by Lori Austin (who also writes as Lori Handeland). Sweet, sexy and funny – with a plot that knocks westerns on their ear. I never knew what was going to happen next and I loved every minute of it.
Jeannie Lin says "The last book that blew me away was A Lady Awakened by Cecilia Grant. A widow in a desperate situation enlists a young nobleman to provide her with an heir that she can pass off as her late husband's. The emotion between the hero and heroine built page upon page and felt so achingly real that you believed and hurt for them through every moment.
The winner of yesterday's wonderful gift basket from Nancy Naigle is Crystal Fulcher. Congratulations! Please contact Nancy at nancy @ nancynaigle.com to claim your prize.

Buccaneer women's tennis goes undefeated at Eastern Kentucky
Saturday, March 01, 2003JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (March 1, 2003) - East Tennessee State University women's tennis team defeated Eastern Kentucky, Morehead State, and Dayton, to go undefeated over the weekend. The Buccaneers defeated Morehead State 4-3 Friday night after defeating host Eastern Kentucky, 7-0, earlier in the day. ETSU returned to defeat Dayton Saturday morning, dropping the Flyers, 7-0. "I am very happy with our progress," head coach Steve Brooks said. "We are starting to come together as a team." In last night's match versus Morehead State, the Buccaneers swept all three doubles matches and posted three singles victories from sophomore Gemma Halim (Jakarta, Indonesia), Jessica Irey (Clewiston, Fla.) and Tatiana Arriaran (Cocabamaba, Bolivia). "This was a good win for us," said Brooks. "It is always difficult to play two good teams back to back." Against Dayton, the Buccaneers swept the Flyers, who were ranked, 66th in the country last season. Sylwia Ziolkowska (Warsaw, Poland) defeated Rebecca Stanchin 6-4, 6-2 at number one singles. Halim defeated Chrissy Whalen, 6-3, 6-0, at number two singles, while Irey dropped Angie Del Rosso, 6-1, 6-1 at the number three position. Buccaneer junior Courtney McInnis (Waterboro, Maine) defeated Katie Landrigen, 6-2, 6-1, and Arriaran defeated Dayton's Julie Green 6-0, 6-2 at the number five spot. Buccaneer sophomore Aimee Villavicencio (Lexington, KY) defeated Megan Flynn, 6-2, 6-0, at number six singles. In doubles play the tandem of Ziolkowska and Villavicencio defeated Stanchin and McDowell, 8-6, while Halim and Irey defeated Whalen and Del Rosso, 8-2. In the final doubles match of the day McInnis and freshman Jewel Aldea (Charleston, S.C.) defeated Dayton's Green and Landrigen, 8-4. "We played solid today despite playing for 8 1/2 hours yesterday," said Brooks. "I'm very happy that we were able to beat two teams that beat us last season." The Buccaneers move to 8-4 on the season and return to action March 8 as they host Winthrop at 1:30 p.m. in Memorial Center. ETSU will begin Southern Conference play on March 12 as the Furman Paladins visit Johnson City at 2 p.m. ETSU def. Morehead State, 4-3 Singles Schwarz def. Ziolkowska, 2-6, 6-2, 6-4 Halim def.

CLEARWATER, Fla.- La Hacienda at Drew Street and U.S. 19 is known for serving up authentic Mexican cuisine. But when we visited at the end of 2012, the Clearwater restaurant wasn't serving ANYTHING at all. That's because a state health inspector ordered the restaurant closed after finding 41 violations on three back-to-back inspections over six days in December 2012.
According to state records from the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, the inspector documented an employee not washing their hands; no soap at the hand sink; the chip warmer soiled with residue; slime in the ice machine and on the inside of soda dispensing nozzles; and the plumbing system in disrepair. The inspector also found live flies in the kitchen and roaches, behind the deli cooler, on the cook's line, and behind bulk food containers.
"It makes me just wanna cook at home," said former customer Mark Van Sluytman. "I don't want to go out. I hate roaches."
In a review of La Hacienda's previous inspections, we found a history of roach activity documented on nearly every report over the past year.
"You go into a place and you have no idea that it's that dirty," said Van Sluytman. "Like it looks clean from where I'm sitting."
On our visit in December, you could see where the state emergency closure sign had been ripped off the window, replaced by a new hand written sign indicating the restaurant was closed for renovations. But some customers feel the state didn't take action soon enough.
"First of all, a restaurant doesn't need that many warnings. If they've got those kind of issues, they just need to be shut down and fixed," said Sean MacLaughlin, who was eating out for dinner nearby.
Since our initial visit back in December, La Hacienda has reopened, so we wanted to see what things looked like now.
Manager Lazaro Montoyoa tells 10 News after last year's problems the restaurant was sold to new owners, and since then everything has changed.
"Everything's new," said an excited Montoyoa, who agreed to take us on a tour of the kitchen.
Behind the kitchen's door, we found no evidence of any insect activity.
"They pressure washed everything ... pestcontrolled,everything," said Montoyoa.
Other problems including the lack of soap at employee hand sinks were corrected too.
"Oh yeah, we've got soap and paper towels," said Montoyoa.
But a third hand washing sink near thedish washingarea in the back was filled with miscellaneous items, a violation of state rules. We also found standing water inside the walk-in cooler and mold covered fruit.
"Some of these probably need to be thrown out here," I explained to restaurant management, holding up a moldy lime before re-washing my hands.
Despite those issues, management says they're working hard to operate their kitchen up to code.
"Things are changed, we have quality food. We try to give our best in everything ... service and food," said Montoyoa.
Customers say they're relieved many of the previous violations were taken care of, but say they'll be keeping a close eye on La Hacienda's future inspections.
"This is the stuff I'm taking down my throat," said customer Trisha Lee as she finished up her meal. "I don't want to eat a roach or anything."

This conversation is closed.
Should potential parents, in an enlightened and advanced society, be licensed to have children?
So many children are left unattended because the parents are unavailable, either through both working, exhaustion, or combined. Many parents do not have adequate skills to raise children to be productive and prosperous in our society, and the schools cannot do it for them. 'Child rearing' is not even a required course in secondary school. Rampant drop-out rates, teen drug use, adolescent violence, teen pregancy and more are symptoms of the inabilty of parents to give children the tools necessary to survive and prosper in the society we've given them. These who are now criminalized and/or ostracized become adults, and put further stresses on society for their inability to perform functions needed and valuable. We therefore spend billions in police, court systems, rehab, retraining, re- everything. Should an enlightened and advanced society therefore 'screen' potential parents for their potential as parents, and regulate reproduction in society, and why? Of course there would be training for those who wish to be licensed...
May 18 2012: Part 1 of 3
The answer to this question is: Look to nature. For if one considers looking to nature from the start, most questions/answers become better clarified. Please note that I did not say to look at what mankind has done to infringe upon that which is natural in nature, which is tantamount to what is being suggested here in this "question," framed within what is appropriate for an "enlightened and advanced society." Contrary to what the media keeps proposing, humanity is a part of nature, and not above nature and its laws, thus, we all need to learn together what nature's laws are in order to flourish.
There is nothing enlightened nor advanced about a person or society that believes nature and its processes should be legislatively regulated. In particular, what has been proposed for discussion here is on the topic of the most basic desire within, and driving force of nature-that of the processes involved in giving birth, which forms the building blocks of life. ( here is one beautiful TED presentation you may wish to view on the subject: http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/en/louie_schwartzberg_the_hidden_beauty_of_pollination.html "I realized that nature had invented reproduction as a mechanism for life to move forward, as a life force that passes right through us, and makes us a link in the evolution of life.")
An enlightened and advanced society operates from love and empathy, from giving to the care and concern of others, over and above any care or concern for one's self. Egoism (a force of reception) is inverted in its use from taking for self, to receiving in order to give to others, so that egoism transforms to being necessary only as it serves altruism (a force of giving). Science has observed that the mechanisms of nature operate in constant search of homeostasis-balance and harmony within ebbs and flows, giving and receiving, everywhere.
Enlightened and advanced people's and societies live their lives in service to others, in empathy ...
Part 1of3May 18 2012: Part 2 of 3
… with and compassion for the human journey that each and everyone is a part of, and that each and everyone is actually composed of, for we are all interconnected and completely entangled and unified with everyone and everything. Science-particularly physics, but not only physics-has been talking about this for decades now. (I refer you to a great movie by Tom Shadyac called "I AM" which, in an entertaining and educational way, speaks to some of the science of this topic of our interconnectedness-the full movie is on youtube.)
The enlightened and advanced do not look at what is outside of them in order to seek to change that which is perceived there, but instead, look outside in order to check if the changes one is working on making on the inside, are affecting all for the best beneficial good of the collective whole, seeking to become equivalent to the level of nature, which always gives everything in loving abundance, and shines the sunlight and rains the rains on all without prejudice.
In another comment, the proposer of this topic said, "Often these people hide behind 'their right' to raise their children the way they see fit - like they 'own' the child. Like a pet. Then, we as a society, have to deal with the fall-out when they attend school, become adults, and try to function as self-providers. We then invest in 'remedial assistance' because we believe 'they had a hard life and need help'. It's backwards to me. I don't know what the answer is, but I'm sick of it."
Isn't this the true topic for this TED Conversation? So this is the one to be further addressed. Check the language used here. "these" people, "their" right, "their" children, "they" see fit ~versus~ "we" as a society, "we" invest in 'remedial assistance,' "I'm" sick of it.
Please understand that no disrespect to the questioner is intended here, for we are all, if we are paying attention, faced with these kinds of questions in all areas of our lives on a daily basis.
Part 2 of 3May 18 2012: Part 3 of 3
I'd like to encourage us all to consider that what families need the most is someone like this questioner to reach out and give personal touch and connection of love, care, and concern. (I'm not talking about money here.) Imagine how the world would change instantly if we all started looking after one another with the same care and concern for others as that of a mother for her children and family!? In advanced and enlightened people and societies, there is no "us and them." There is only one collective global human family where everyone is as your closest family member, and every perceived problem is actually an opportunity and a challenge for all to seek unity in its solution, and to rise from ourselves and draw closer to each other in guarantees of mutual reciprocity and love.
Our relationships with each other determine everything in our world, and are really the only thing we all need to work on. In the same way the cells of the human body function to work cooperatively for the best benefit of the entire body, so too must humanity come together in mutually reciprocal cooperation for the best beneficial good of each and everyone, and of the planet that we share. After all, why are we all here, and what is the purpose for this life? All the best to each and all, as we continue together to answer these vitally important questions. Our human species and our world are at an evolutionary tipping point, and each and every person holds a piece to the puzzle that unlocks the solution for humanity's next level of evolutionary advancement, where love is the law. :)

May 7 2012: R H,

Between your last comment and a previous one, i felt a change in the argument. In your above comment you say that the women, couples, are deciding to have children or not. This i do agree in and support, if one isnt able to rear a child they shouldnt. However, where i feel differently is whether the government should get involved in this process. You say the term 'licensed' in your question, which is given out by the government so instead of giving parents the right to choose to have children, you are giving it to the government. This i have a problem with.
I do believe that adults should use their own intuition on deciding whether or not to have children, but the government should not be involved.
Lastly, your analogy to driving is a good analogy but fails in the sense that driving is a privilege, procreation is not. Procreation is one of the few things that is not a privilege, but a basic human right; while driving a car is not.
May 9 2012: Thanks again Josh. Ok. Point taken. Everyone that has responded feels the gov't influence of 'licensing'. Ok. I'm not making a case for it, I just asked the question with the backdrop of how procreation effects society - and the negative attibutes I cited are nowhere near the 'full' effects of procreation. The postive ones aren't mentioned. I guess the question, now that I've seen some responses, really isn't about 'licensing'. It's about neglect. It's about raising children, making children, dealing with children, and what children mean to us. For many people, I've come to realize after being closely associated with publice schools for many years, they do not have the ideal-love-my-child-enough-to-sacrifice-for mentality that many other people naturally have for their children. For many, I've seen children 'in the way', a hindrance, something that has to be dealt with, something 'the gov't should assist with, a toy, like a stuffed animal, or a psychopathic outlet of dispicable disgust. Often these people hide behind 'their right' to raise their children the way they see fit - like they 'own' the child. Like a pet. Then, we as a society, have to deal with the fall-out when they attend school, become adults, and try to function as self-providers. We then invest in 'remedial assistance' because we believe 'they had a hard life and need help'. It's backwards to me. I don't know what the answer is, but I'm sick of it.

May 6 2012: If it were an enlightened and advanced society there would be not need to license them. They would know if they are prepared or not.
- +1
May 6 2012: Thanks for responding. I see your point. Ok. So let me take it a step further. In such a society we could speculate that it would be highly specialized and complex. As we see even today, many people are consumed with their jobs/careers/dutys and choose parenting by default. Parenting let's say, in the e&a society, would not be part of their daily routine or interest - until they became interested. In this same society their history had shown that certain skills were required for an optimum success rate of individual happiness and contribution to the whole. Under these circumstances, is it reasonable/beneficial for the individuals themselves to desire that the society they live and contribute in are managing the quality of life and march of progress to the best of their ability - being enlightened and advanced?
May 9 2012: I don't see what would be enlightened and advanced about such a society.
In our own societies, I don't think that most people should have any children, but I am allergic to government intervention. I have hopes for enlightenment. That's the way to go. But it takes lots of effort, and might not really be attainable. But trying to solve everything with licenses and laws is futile and brutal. There might be no escape though. Just notice. Now we have to take care that others don't make something stupid in our homes, or else they sue us for not thinking that somebody would be sufficiently stupid to come and jump from the top of our highest tree and die.
May 9 2012: I hear you, my friend. I too have hopes for enlightenment. Thanks for responding.May 19 2012: We can not depend on legislative measures to correct all human failings. It is common in the 21st century life for people to expect government to finance and support irresponsible lifestyle. Taking care of children is not something that is complex or complicated; humanity has been doing it successfully from prehistoric times. It is our world of selfish ambitions and desperate drive for profits that is robbing us of our humanity.
So, I dont believe such a license will do any good.

i meant to say that by reading those books, you will have an answer and generally the reader obtains a very negative connotation. However, books like 1984 pose more intrusive technology then we have even today, like TV's that have 2 way vision. No it does not have internet and cell phones, but the concept is the same.
Now with the literature in mind, ill display my own views. To prohibit procreation- which is part of what your question is goes against the most fundamental rule of nature, to procreate. Lets say that anybody is allowed to have kids, but those kids are given away at birth to 'fitful parents'. We can look at our own adoption studies and see that for the most part, it doesnt work out well, atleast not as well as when the children are raised by their natural parents.
What you suggest seems much to intrusive, against all freedom , against the fundamentals of biology, and a very scary thought.
May 6 2012: Thanks Josh. No need to apologize. That's what TED is all about for me. The free exchange of ideas in conversation. Sometimes our 'buttons can get pushed'. It happens to me. I agree, this question does seem very intrusive to our sensibilities. But in an 'enlightened and advanced society' I believe these very fundamental issues would be addressed. Many will offer different means of tackling problems. Using literature, you mention "1984". I will refer to the movie "Precious". Both are extreme examples. When I read more and more women's responses on birth control, and see many TED talks regarding the same, I'm watching how intelligent, educated, and thought-provoking their opinions are regarding the rearing of children. They often talk about 'happiness' and 'prosperity'. They are self-regulating their births already (those that can), and making those decisions with the background of the society they live in. Lastly, I compared in another response this concept to getting a driver's license. No one 'chooses who' can get a driver's license. You just have to be capable to drive.May 6 2012: @ R H
When I mentioned to look deeper meant for you to study human nature. Human nature is inclined to resist anything imposed. All ideas, good and bad, are great to aid in advancing humanity, however if an idea must be imposed instead of accepted does not substantiate the idea. We cannot alienate others to advance an idea, though as humans we occassionally will, no matter how hard we try not to. Look at an idea from this perspective. How can I market my idea so that it educates others without sounding rightious or contemptuous.
I miss wrote when I said embraced. Rather, I should have said accepted. (Their acceptance is based on what they are told and believe the law is for.) There are many ways that central design over procreation are destructive. One way it could destroy would be those in power would get the "bright idea" as to whom they want to "breed" based upon their standards. Those standards are at the descretion of those in power. Are those standards based on race, IQ, work ethic, hygeine, physical characteristics or whatever inclination?
Think your ideas through.
Good Luck,
W.P. Baldwin
May 6 2012: Thanks W, but it's not an idea, it's a question. And where does the question mention that 'someone' would decide who gets to procreate? It is clearly included in the question the context of an 'enlightened and advanced' society. It could be assumed that the worn-out, antique totalitarianisms are well-documented. Regarding the concept of a license, it is merely that you have demonstrated ability to perform the task desired, with full knowledge of how it's done successfully and the repurcussions if those methods are not used. No one 'chooses' who gets a drivers license, medical license, real estate license, insurance license, teaching license, or any other kind of license. You decide what you want to do, get the training, pass the exam, get the license. The society is protected because you've been trained and demonstrated ability. So I hope that clarifies the concept of the question. Now human nature, that's the real interesting point. What is that? Could we say it's human nature to kill at will, to take what we want when we want, for men to demand sex from a woman, to pee on the sidewalk? I could go 'deeper' but I'm too tired. Thanks again for responding.
May 6 2012: @ R H
You said, "And where does the question mention that 'someone' would decide who gets to procreate?" and "Regarding the concept of a license, it is merely that you have demonstrated ability to perform the task desired, with full knowledge of how it's done successfully and the repurcussions if those methods are not used."
I still argue someone with authority must decide the standards by which a lisence is issued.
You said, "No one 'chooses' who gets a drivers license, medical license, real estate license, insurance license, teaching license, or any other kind of license." Well, if you do not abide by the standards decided upon you then lose the license. Many times the standards are B.S..
You said, "The society is protected because you've been trained and demonstrated ability." Again, people are killed every day by licensed drivers and doctors, cheated by real estate agents and insurance agents and get horrible educations by licensed teachers.
I am a "licensed" builder and I will guarantee you I have seen as many incompetent builders that are licensed as there are competent builders who are not licensed.
You said, "Could we say it's human nature to kill at will, to take what we want when we want, for men to demand sex from a woman, to pee on the sidewalk? I could go 'deeper' but I'm too tired." to deflect from having a discussion. Human nature is good, evil and everything in between. This is why your idea will not work. People will always find a way around the "law", whether they break it or know the right person.
To the context of an enlightened and advanced society. With the type of discussion you and I just had do you really believe that either one of us is capable of being part of it?
TedTalks is a great place where knowledge can be shared openly. If a person does not want to take advantage of that and expand upon their knowledge, that is fine; there always will be a need for people in the bottom eighty percent.
W.P. Baldwin
May 7 2012: Ok W. Three strkes you're out. I asked a question to an on-line conversational community with the highest standards of exchange. This particular community is also dedicated to comments regarding our future. Your responses are about fear of totalitarianism and cheating. I tried to clarify. This whole last comment is about those who disregard and 'work-around' the efforts of those trying to organize an effective society, and that those efforts are 'BS' anyways. You finish with insults. I think you're right in that one of us is not capable of being part of this discussion. You think it's me, I definitely think it's you. So we're done here.May 7 2012: Totalitarianism and cheating are always going to be a part of society. To think otherwise would be unrealistic. A better question would have been, "Can there ever be an enlightened society where evil will never lurk within its shadows?" Then you could of had a discussion about the possibilities of this ever happening.
By the way, another poster made the best point that in the utopia of an enlightened society there would be no need for licensing requirements, which is what your question was about, "Should potential parents, in an enlightened and advanced society, be licensed to have children?"
I am sorry that we could not have discussed my point that to license someone there must be someone setting the standards of licensing. Your point that nobody is giving the licenses means that there will not be any licenses issued.
Have a good day.May 5 2012: RH,
What do you think the parenting standards should be?
I did not even realize that the perfect method or system of parenting had been invented yet.
Every method that has been promoted, so far, has had unforeseen consequences.
Has the thought ever occured to you that there are too many different types of people, cultures, (sub-cultures) and so on for there to ever be a realistic standard of licensing?
Good luck figuring it out, but I would suggest you look a lot deeper before you continue this conversation, because what you suggest is more than dangerous. It would destroy the society that embraces it.
W.P. Baldwin
May 6 2012: Thanks for responding, but what do you mean that I should 'look deeper' before continuing this conversation, and how would it 'destroy the society that empbraces it'?

May 5 2012: Why dont you read 'the Giver' or '1984' or any other dystopia and tell me what you think after?
- 0
May 6 2012: Thank you for responding, but I didn't tell you what I thought, I asked a question. '1984' was written well over 30 years ago as science fiction, I think before cell phones existed, certainly before the intenet and impending singularities. I hardly think that can serve as a basis for a 'reasonable' response regarding a question for an 'enlightened and advanced society'. I guess your answer would be 'no', but you don't say. If so, why not - if you care to discuss it.

May 5 2012: i find your proposal really dangerous.
- 0
May 6 2012: Thank you for responding, but it's not a 'proposal', it's a question. So, how would it be dangerous?
l aresu
May 6 2012: because it's the waiting room of prejudice. who should be licensed? who should define the standards? which standarts? wealth? are well off parents better than poor ones? how much should one earn to grow up a child (and two)? based on beliefs, opinions, culture (i.e "communists" are bad and would teach bad values to their children who would ruin the nation? freaky people either? fundamentalists? )? based on iq? should people with genetical deseases be allowed to procreate? could be continued. what should we do with those who don't fit the standards? do we sterilize them (as it has already been done to limit ethnical minorities)? do they belong to jail if they procreate?

"Many parents do not have adequate skills to raise children to be productive and prosperous in our society, and the schools cannot do it for them."
"Rampant drop-out rates, teen drug use, adolescent violence, teen pregancy and more are symptoms of the unabilty of parents to give children the tools necessary to survive and prosper in the society we've given them."
these are very questionable statements. i think you're proposing an easy solution for very complex problems, and this doesn't work. never. this kind of logic has been used by nazis (don't want to say you're nazi) in the '30 and '40 where "unproductive" people where either convicted or killed, and they put it under a commonsense looking like policy.
May 6 2012: There we go. Thanks for that. Again, I'm not 'proposing' anything. It's just a question. Let me counter with this: You are using historical precedents as non-changing components of this consideration. Let's just say that in an enligtened and advanced society, it is reasonable to assume that they have 'learned from the past' and have overcome the prejudices and sociopathic tendencies that their history had demonstrated - similare to the road that we're on here with TED and other efforts of like minded people currently. It is also reasonable to assume that they had learned that many people did not have the 'natural' skills that were assumed to be had by everyone to be successful and happy raising children. As far as who would decide who gets the licence, who decides who gets a driver's license (to use a current analogy)? No one. You take the training, you get insurance to protect those around you, you pass the test, you get the license.
Comment deleted
May 6 2012: Thanks for responding. You said 'yes', you think people should be licensed to have children in an advanced and enlightened society. Then I think we lost something in the translation. If you care to, please tell us why you think they should be licensed instead of being free to procreate at will. Thanks again.May 5 2012: No!
May 6 2012: Thanks for responding. I guess my question was rather closed ended. If you care to elaborate as to why not, I would be grateful.
May 6 2012: Because you never know who'll turn out to be a good parent.
Parenting is a relationship, it grows and changes. Most people become parents during the nine months of expectation.
So it's the regulation about it that I don't think to be a good idea.
However, there are universals in education that people should know about when they're having a child. And I suppose it'd be of great help if governments paid for a few days of parenting school, for anyone who was interested and expecting a chid.
May 6 2012: Ok. Thanks for that.May 6 2012: The problems with government subsidized parenting school are many. Here are a couple off the top of my head:
What is the proper method of parenting?
What else are they going to teach or not teach?May 6 2012: WP,
I believe there are basic and universal rules about parenting, just as there are universal human rights.
Do you disagree with that?
May 7 2012: The only universal rule is a parent should teach their child how to take care of themselves without purposely stepping on the throat of another. How they accomplish this is where the disputes start.
The only human right we have as adults is the OPPORTUNITY to freely take care of ourselves and our families as long as this does not DIRECTLY infringe upon another's right to do the same. Again, this is disputed because the weak side of human nature wants to get as much as it can for doing as little as possible.

Treatment for deafness depends on the type of hearing loss. Options may include:
To help prevent deafness, avoid loud noise. In cases when loud noise cannot be avoided, you can reduce exposure to loud noises by wearing ear protection. Also, taking steps to reduce injuries or disease may prevent certain types of deafness.
There is currently no effective way to prevent congenital or genetic deafness.
Hearing screening for newborns can help ensure that hearing loss in young babies is detected and treated at the earliest possible stage.

Home of the Huskers
A breathtaking view of Saturday evening in Lincoln! From the lens of legendary midwestern football photographer
Rick Anderson comes "Memorial Stadium: Home of the Huskers", a breathtaking
and beautiful panoramic view of Memorial Stadium and the Huskers on game
night, under a glowing purple dusk. With amazing wide-angle photography,
this poster captures nearly all of the 85,000+ red-clad fanatics packing
the stands on September 30, 2006, as the Huskers look to continue their
dominating performance against the hated Kansas Jayhawks. From a south
end zone vantage point, this poster captures the thrill and excitement
of Huskers football at Memorial, just as if you were there in person! You
can see it all: the huge press box and suite complex adorned with the four
championship years (1971, 1994, 1995, 1997), the scoreboard with a bold
"Blackshirts" logo to cheer on the defense, the sea of red in the stands,
the cheerleaders and marching band, and, of course, all the action on the
field, as the defense looks to stuff another Kansas drive on 3rd-and-1.
With crystal-clear focus, bright colors, sharp graphic design, and a glossy
finish on gallery-quality stock, this is a true beauty for your wall. Perfect
for a nice frame and a prominent place on the wall of home or office!

Title: hat's all folks!
Date: February 6, 2007
Summary: Steve falls in a pit and is rescued by a man with a magic hat.
Cast: Beaver, Steve, Magic Hat Man
Onomatopoeias used: "GRR!", "FOAM!", "HISS!", "TOOTLE TOOT!", "STIFFEN!", "BITE!", "SHOOOOP!", "CLOSE!"
"Fin" style: Letters inside the magic hat
Number of panels: 10
Panel 1
Steve is sitting at the bottom of a deep hole.
Panel 2
Steeve is still in the hole, though looking upwards now.
Steve: "This hole looked a lot more interesting from the the top."
Panel 3
Now we see at an angle viewing the top of the hole. A purple man with a green hat with a white star on it is above the hole. He has a purple strand of hair and a green bow tie.
Purple man: "I say! Hello down there! You look like you could use a hand!"
Steve pauses, looking up: "..."
Purple man: "..Or perhaps a hat! Ho ho!"
Steve: "Well, I..."
Panel 4
The purple man pulls off the hat, and a ribbon like rainbow flies out from it. Upon the rainbow we can see a whale, a rollerskate, a pink unicorn with yellow stars on it, a purple and a pink butterfly, a T-Rex, and a crab.
T-Rex GRR!s.
Purple man: "You see, it is a MAGIC HAT!"
Purple man: "Woosh!"
Panel 5
Purple man: "I'll soon have you out of there with the help of a few animal friends..."
Out from the hat come three rabid weasels and two enraged cobras. One cobra goes HISS! and one weasel goes FOAM!
Purple man: "Animal friends from my Magic Hat that is! Ho ho!"
Steve: "Oh no! Enraged cobras and rabid weasels!"
Panel 6
The magic hat opens up and a flute like thing comes out of it, going TOOTLE TOOT!
Purple man: "Fear not! A little Magic Hat music will tame these beasts!"
From the flute comes a ribbon of music notes, causing the cobras to STIFFEN! and the weasels to BITE! onto the cobras, their tail holding onto the other, forming a ladder.
Steve: "Oh! A ladder!"
Panel 7
The flute is gone, and the hat is shut. Steve is out of the hole, looking down into it, where the cobras and weasels are stuck.
Steve: "Oh, but now the animals are trapped in the hole!"
Purple man: "Ho ho! Don't worry, my Magic Hat will rescue them in no time..."
Panel 8
Purple man: "...with this ladder! Ho ho!"
The hat pops open again, and a ladder comes out, into the hole. The animals get on it and it retracts back into the hat with a SHOOOOP!.
Purple man: "And it's all thanks to my Magic Hat!"
Panel 9
The purple man's hat swings to a CLOSE!, and he stands proudly.
Purple man: "So, what fun adventure should you and I have next?"
Purple man: "Or rather, you and I and my Magic Hat! Ho ho! ..."
Panel 10
Steve is walking proudly towards Beaver. The purple man is nowhere to be seen, but Steve is wearing the hat.
Beaver waves.
Beaver: "Hey Steve, nice hat!"
Steve: "Correction: Nice Magic Hat."
Fun Facts
- Why didn't the man with the MAGIC hat just use the ladder in the first place to save Steve...?(Suppose its because its B&S :P)

Connecticut State Representative Brenda Kupchick (right) speaks at Voices for Animals Day.
When Brenda Kupchick's son was nine years old, he begged her for a puppy. Eventually, she gave in and purchased a female beagle at a pet shop. "Over the next 12 years, that dog cost us $16,000 in vet bills," admits Kupchick, now a Connecticut state representative. "Not only did she cost us a lot of money, but a lot of heartache, as well."
Rep. Kupchick, along with Rep. Auden Grogins, spoke at the ASPCA's Connecticut Voices for Animals Day in Hartford on February 21, using the forum to renew their support for a state law that would address the inhumane treatment of dogs in the commercial breeding facilities—commonly known as puppy mills—that supply animals to Connecticut pet shops.
ASPCA-sponsored lobby days like Connecticut Voices for Animals Day give animal lovers like you the chance to meet your elected officials and tell them, in person, that you support animal protection and oppose laws that would allow animals to be hurt and exploited. Of the 31 animal advocates in attendance at Connecticut Voices for Animals Day, many were lobbying for their first time. Lisa King felt the trip was "absolutely worth it."
"I had a nice conversation with an aide to my state senator," Lisa said. She also left behind a personal note for Senator Cathy Osten. "It's important for them to realize that people who vote for them have these concerns."
Don't miss your state's lobby day—visit our Advocacy Events Calendar frequently to see what's coming up near you, and sign up to receive ASPCA Advocacy Alerts so you never miss an invitation!
Stacey Doan of Protectors of Animals, Inc., Maya, a Chow Chow up for adoption, and Rep. Brenda Kupchick welcome a group of seventh and eighth graders from Cesar A. Batalla School in Bridgeport to Connecticut Voices for Animals Day.

Guest blog by Deborah Dubow Press, Regulatory Affairs Senior Manager, ASPCA Government Relations
It has been nearly eight years since Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast, forever changing the way America responds to natural disasters. The human and animal suffering wrought by Katrina and Superstorm Sandy should remain fresh in our minds as we enter another hurricane season, and preparedness should top the agendas of animal caretakers and policy makers.
That's why yesterday we were shocked to learn that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) may be reconsidering the disaster plan rule requiring all facilities licensed under the federal Animal Welfare Act—this includes breeders, zoos, research facilities, dealers, and other exhibitors and intermediate handlers—to prepare emergency plans for protecting and caring for animals during disasters. Asking those who use animals commercially to demonstrate a level of readiness to protect animals in their custody is fair and reasonable. We are dismayed by the possibility that the USDA would waver on a rule that could save lives at such a small cost.
For the ASPCA responders who experienced Katrina, Sandy, and countless other disaster deployments firsthand, the horrors of these events have not faded from memory: dogs chained in yards and left to drown; cats starving to death in homes after evacuations dragged on and on; animals covered in oil and toxic sludge; dogs stranded on rooftops; animals wandering the streets malnourished, dehydrated, and frightened, many never to be reunited with their owners.
The more that pet owners and animal facilities prepare for emergencies, the better responders can focus their relief efforts when disaster strikes. We hope that ultimately the USDA will remember the heartbreaks of Katrina, Sandy, Joplin, and countless other disasters and renew its resolve to protect imperiled animals under its jurisdiction.

Recipe by TERRAD
"Tastes very similar to ones served in chain restaurants in our area. This one uses refrigerated Alfredo sauce as its base to give it a wonderful creamy texture."

4 cloves
1 (10 ounce) package
frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 (14 ounce) can
artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 (10 ounce) container
Alfredo-style pasta sauce
1 cup
shredded mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup
grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 (8 ounce) package
cream cheese, softened
This dip was a big hit. My husband took it to work and THEY DEVOURED IT! It was gone before it got cold. First of all, the recipe says to "spread" the ingredients into the baking dish. VERY IMPORTANT: Mix them well in a bowl first, then spread them into the baking dish. This is not a layered dish. It will not look "presentable" if there are chunks of ingredients all over the place. I used real roasted garlic. It isn't really a big step, and it does make a difference. You won't have difficulty peeling the soft garlic if you pound on the clove with the side of a wide knife. It comes right out. I also followed other suggestions and used a whole package of cream cheese. I used Bertolli alfredo sauce & it doesn't have a metallic flavor like other store bought sauces can have. Next time I make it, I'll keep it warm in my electric crock pot (If it lasts that long).
Edited to add:
I made little filo dough cups in a mini muffin tin. I filled them with this dip that I heated in the microwave. I topped them with shredded asiago & romano cheese and melted it in the oven for about 4 min. I topped them with chopped tomatoes & they were a real HIT!
For the filo dough cups:
Layer 3 sheets of filo dough with cooking spray between each layer. Cut into, 18 squares. Put each square into mini muffin tins and bake for 5-7 min at 350.
Not a big fan of this recipe. The taste of the Alfredo sauce really took over the taste of this dish. If you do decided to make this I would recommend less Alfredo sauce, use the entire brick of cream cheese and add some Asiago cheese.

I've been making this recipe for several years, it's great! I use garlic powder (1 tsp) and usually leave out the artichokes and just use spinach. I use a 15 oz jar of alfredo sauce, 2 cups of mozzerella, about 1/2 cup Parmesan, and an entire 8 oz. pkg of cream cheese. I don't layer the ingredients, just stir everything together, pour in a casserole and bake till bubbly. I serve it with slices of hot, crunchy garlic toast. Fantastic!
This is absoultely DELICIOUS. I serve it with pita triangles. I've made it about 6 times since I got the recipe a few months ago, and each time my guests all agree that it's better than what you get in the restaurants. I go ahead and use the whole cream cheese package just to make it easier. I also mix up all the cheeses to make it easier to put in the pan, and I heat the cream cheese a bit in the microwave to soften and make it easier to mix. Yummm!!!!
This was absolutely phenomenal! My guests never left the buffet table..... I usually use a Garlic Alfredo sauce for extra flavor. For a little kick, try adding a tsp of hot sauce to the mix prior to baking it. It's wonderful!
EXCELLENT DIP!!! I tried an artichoke spinach dip recipe once before and my husband told me that I should never touch an artichoke again :). I tried this recipe and his eyes literally lit up! This recipe was so easy to make, that I couldn't believe it. I used store bought garlic that was already chopped and also added a little extra salt. (I eliminated the need to bake garlic first and just mixed the garlic in with all the other ingredients). It truly tasted like an Applebee's dip....or even better. My entire prep. time was approx. 5 minutes. The suggested cook time was absolutely perfect. My husband asked me to make this recipe for the next food day at his job!!!! This is truly a 5 star recipe.
I have made this many times and after a few modifications Ive found perfect recipe. FRESH GARLIC is a must dont use minced this is what makes it so flavorful the extra time is worth it. I use the entire package of cream cheese and an entire bottle of Alfredo 15 oz. Mix everything very well to get the best blend. Finding the right cooking time was tricky I cook about 15 minutes longer but pull out and check often to find your favorite consistency. I actually like this recipe better the second day its SUPER YUMMY best recipe I have ever gotten online.
I made this for a SuperBowl party. Due to the other reviews, I used slightly less spinach and artichokes. Be sure to use Alfredo sauce from the refridgerated section. I think some people are using the jarred kind which has a different taste and consistancy (at least to me). It came out wonderful, and went quickly. No leftovers at all!

JOHNSONBURG – The Ramettes waited nearly a month to finish the game and then they nearly lost it at the end.
Johnsonburg took a five-run lead into the bottom of the seventh inning but the Lady Elkers battled back and had the game-tying run aboard before a groundout ended the game.
The contest was originally halted after three-and-a-half innings April 12 as a torrential downpour in Ridgway halted play with Johnsonburg leading 11-7.
The Lady Elkers started strong and put up three runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to cut the lead to 11-10. A two-out single by Taylor Roseto scored Breezy Mazur and Ashley Viglione to pull Ridgway to within one run of a tied game.
Pitcher Paige DeCecchis, who originally started the game April 12, was lifted due to an undisclosed injury as Kiana Myers came in to get the final out of the inning.
The Ramettes immediately responded in the top of the fifth inning as Tommi Wildnauer reached on an error at shortstop and Kiana Myers walked with Ridgway's Taylor Roseto on the hill in place of Morgan Herzing, who was credited with four innings for starting the game April 12.
With two on, Dani Jo Dwyer hit a single to score Wildnauer and Justis Myers tagged a two-run double to bring in Kiana Myers and Dwyer for the 14-10 advantage. Brittany Watts followed with a single to plate Justis Myers and an error at second base allowed Taylor Harvey to reach safely as Watts came around for the six-run lead.
After a free pass to Cassie Biondi and a Kassa Kocjancic groundout, another error at shortstop allowed Wildnauer to reach safely as Harvey scored for the 17-10 lead. An Elena Solorio strikeout ended an inning that saw 12 Ramettes bat.
But a resilient Ridgway team continued to put runs on the board. After Sam Kovalyak reached on a single and Sydney Kovalyak was hit by a pitch, Jenni Thomas hit a single to cut the lead to 17-11. An error at first base allowed Sydney Kovalyak to score as Melissa Wehler reached safely. Kiana Myers set down the next two batters as the Ramettes held a five-run lead.
WIth two outs in the top of the sixth inning, the Ramettes got what would eventually be the game-winner as Watts stroked a single to center field to bring in Dwyer, who walked for the third time.
The Lady Elkers added a run on the home half of the sixth inning as Jenni Thomas hit a single to bring in Sam Kovalyak to cut the lead to 18-13.
After Roseto escaped the top of the seventh inning unharmed, Ridgway began its comeback bid.
After a single by Wehler and a walk to Brianna Stenta, a groundout from Mazur shifted the runners into scoring position. A walk to Ashley Viglione loaded the bases and a flyout to the shortstop put two outs on the board.
Sam Kovalyak then got things started with a single to bring home Wehler and Stenta to cut the margin to 18-15. Sydney Kovalyak then followed with a two-out single to plate Viglione and Sam Kovalyak to cut the lead to 18-17 before a grounder to second sealed the deal.
