Something Funny Is Going On … @BPGlobalPR
Posted on June 14, 2010 by Admin — Comments Off
BP is facing a public relations disaster on yet another front — this one over the highly publicized fake Twitter account BPGlobalPR. The social media hoax, called "brandjacking," tweets sarcastic news about BP's missteps and suspect corporate behavior. It currently has more than 150,000 followers and continues to gain attention.
This week, the tweets finally caught the attention (or hit a nerve) of BP's communications team, who demanded that the site declare itself to be a parody. Those behind the BP parody tweets are refusing to back down. If BP presses the issue, things are going to get nasty.
Two observations jump out from this situation.
First, why did BP wait so long to try to stop the hoax? Were they not monitoring what was being said about them in social media? Is it possible that a multinational corporation currently embroiled in an environmental disaster failed to recognize the influence of Twitter?
Second, this issue speaks to a growing acceptance of pseudo-news and comedian commentary as a mainstream source of information and influence.
Granted, editorial cartoons have been a mainstream source of influence for centuries (it has been a Pulitzer Prize category since 1922), and for years The New York Times Week in Review section has included quotes from late-night hosts such as Jimmy Fallon and David Letterman in its news summary, but something funny is going on here.
The Daily Show and The Colbert Report are now routine stops for politicians, authors and opinion leaders. More young adults get their news from these programs than from nightly broadcast news shows.
Blogs such as the Huffington Post and The Drudge Report regularly cover items that are decidedly ironic or funny (and generally with a political bias).
The list of bogus Facebook pages and YouTube videos has also proliferated. By some estimates, roughly 40 percent of Facebook postings are ficticious.
Funny thing is, these parodies are proving to be effective tools. They enter the web of influence and have a lasting and profound impact on public opinion.
I guess everything is news in the ever evolving environment of influence. A valuable lesson for all of us.

Region 1: EPA New England
Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) in New England
This page provides information on EPA New England's Clean Water State Revolving Fund. The page highlights how the program works, what kinds of water projects are funded, and who can apply for them. The page also contains examples of successful projects and links to our New England state partners.
What is the CWSRF?
The Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) program is a federal/state partnership designed to help communities finance the cost of infrastructure needed to achieve and maintain compliance with the Clean Water Act (CWA). The CWSRF program is a major source of low-cost funding for upgrades and improvements to wastewater treatment facilities and other eligible projects. The CWSRF is available to fund a wide variety of water quality projects including: 1) traditional municipal wastewater treatment projects; 2) contaminated runoff from urban and agricultural areas; 3) wetlands restoration; 4) groundwater protection; 5) brownfields remediation; 6) estuary management; and 7) green infrastructure, which includes traditional non-point source projects like berms and rain gardens, to energy efficiency and energy production. Projects types 2 through 5 must pertain to non-point source and estuary water quality protection and/or restoration projects.
Each of the six New England states maintains CW revolving loan funds to provide low-cost financing for a wide range of water quality infrastructure projects. Funds to establish or capitalize the CWSRF programs are provided through federal government grants and state matching grants (equal to 20% of federal government grants). The CWSRF program has funded approximately $95 billion nationally, while the six New England states have funded $9.9 billion since the program's inception in 1989 thru 2012.
Key Features of the CWSRF Program
Low interest loans from the CWSRF can save a system millions of dollars over the twenty year life of the loan. The loans can be below-market interest rates (between the cost of borrowing in the bond market at the time of the loan and zero) and the loan repayments are returned to the CWSRF fund over 20 years. The repaid loans are then available to be loaned out to other eligible projects. This is especially helpful to those communities that do not have access to the bond market or other sources of borrowing funds inexpensively. The CWSRF is a far more flexible program than its predecessor the Construction Grants program. Under the CWSRF, states have a wide range of options in deciding how to set up their programs. States may choose from a variety of assistance options, including loans, refinancing, purchasing or guaranteeing local debt, and purchasing bond insurance. States can also set specific loan terms, including interest rates—from zero percent to market rate—and repayment periods—up to 20 years. States have the flexibility to target resources to their particular environmental needs, including contaminated runoff from urban and agricultural areas, wetlands restoration, groundwater protection, brownfields remediation, estuary management, and wastewater treatment.
States may also customize loan terms to meet the needs of small and disadvantaged communities. In 2009, 77 percent of all loans nationally (23 percent of funding) were made to communities with populations less than 10,000. In addition, some states provide specialized assistance for communities that are disadvantaged or experiencing financial hardship. These states might offer lower or no-interest loans to provide greater subsidies for disadvantaged communities.
A primary focus of EPA's Clean Water and Drinking Water Infrastructure Sustainability Policy is to promote utility planning processes that support sustainable water infrastructure and communities. The goal is for a robust planning process to occur during the development phase of the project, before the infrastructure solution is selected and designed. This will allow the utility to work with stakeholders in the community to ensure that the utility's goals also support other relevant community priorities. It will also allow the utility to evaluate a range of infrastructure options, including, as appropriate, conservation approaches, decentralized treatment with centralized management, and green infrastructure based on factors such as public health, water quality, and economic health. Specific types of sustainable projects that may be eligible for CWSRF funding, include:
- Funding for Green Infrastructure – Funding for green infrastructure began with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. Congress requires the SRF programs to continue the "Green Program Reserve" and fund green infrastructure, with language in EPA's annual Appropriations Bills. States were required to spend at least 20% of their annual appropriations in FY 2010 and FY 2011, and at least 10% of their capitalization grants in FY 2012 and FY 2013.
- Wastewater and drinking water facilities are large users of energy in most communities, as high as 30% of their energy consumption. Thus, funding energy efficient, water efficient, environmentally innovative, or green infrastructure projects can really help wastewater systems operate more sustainable operations over the long-term. Encouraging the replacement of old, energy inefficient motors and pumps, lights and aeration equipment can greatly reduce a communities' energy use. Many systems can also produce energy, using waste digesters to produce energy from sludge, or by installing wind turbines and solar panels. For example, there are several wastewater facilities in Massachusetts that are either net-zero or getting close to this goal, where the facility produces more energy than they use to run the plant. Examples of eligible green infrastructure includes:
- Green stormwater to manage wet weather, such as permeable pavement, bio-retention, trees, green roofs, constructed wetlands, downspout disconnect programs, etc.
- Funding energy efficiency
- Upgrades to POTW lighting, SCADA systems, fine-bubble aeration, Infiltration/inflow, solar panels, wind turbines, etc.
- Funding environmentally innovative
- POTW climate change adaptation, projects that eliminate/ reduce chemical use, educational projects, LEED buildings, etc.
How does the CWSRF Program work?
CWSRF programs operate much like environmental infrastructure banks that are capitalized with federal and state contributions. CWSRF monies are loaned to communities and loan repayments are recycled back into the program to fund additional water quality protection projects. The revolving nature of these programs provides for an ongoing funding source that will last far into the future. Depending on statewide needs, some states provide additional funds, above and beyond the state match requirement, in order that the SRF program can fund more eligible projects that are ready to proceed to construction.
What are the CWSRF Needs in New England?
To determine the cost of the water quality and water-related public health goals of the CWA Section 516(b), EPA undertakes the Clean Watershed Needs Survey (CWNS) every four years. The CWNS is an assessment of wastewater infrastructure needs, combined sewer overflow needs and other eligible infrastructure for all systems in a particular state, to meet the water quality standards mandated by the Clean Water Act. The latest needs survey is not yet complete. This section will be updated when the new data is available.

Enjoyed "National Geographic" for years.
By none
from Wisconsin
I ordered this for my 94 yr old mother who I am caring for. We are still waiting for the first one to arrive. She has enjoyed this magazine for years. She recently asked for the "Travel" GEOGRAPHIC. She has received the first two magazines of the "travel" series but unfortunately .... I find that she does not care for the "travel" Magazine as much. She is looking forward to the regular one starting again.

Reading Since I Was a Boy
By interrobang
from Jamaica Plain, MA
I first discovered NG as a child on the boyhood bookshelf of my maternal Uncle, a Dartmouth grad, and former US Ambassador. I poured over the bound volumes, absorbing the articles and photographs, and directly attribute my world view to the early introduction the world's wonders and diversity.As such, for the past 10 years, I've gifted NG to a young person in my life in the expectation that he will benefit from the informed view the magazine provides. I'm certain he'll be a better man for it.

A texture description referring to a cheese which contains openings and holes in its body. It is the opposite of close. See also eyes.
Panir is an Indian fresh curd cheese that looks like ricotta, although it is very different and actually similar to the Latin American queso blanco. It is used in sweet and savory dishes. All cheese starts off by the addition of a coagulant (curdling agent) to milk that has been brought to a boiling point. With many cheeses, an enzyme, rennet, is used to coagulate the milk proteins, but the whey proteins (albuminous proteins) don't coagulate. They are drained, and can be used to make ricotta. Panir is made by adding an acid reagent to the milk (vinegar, lemon juice, yogurt, citric acid or cultured buttermilk) rather than rennet. When the milk curdles, both the milk proteins and the whey proteins coagulate.
The cheese is usually pressed until firm, and, like ricotta, can be eaten fresh and raw. But unlike ricotta, panir holds its shape and can also be grilled, pan-fried, barbecued or deep-fried.
Many cheeses, particularly those destined for export markets, are coated with a paraffin wax to protect the cheese. Edam, covered in bright red wax, is probably the best known.
Parmigiano-Reggiano is a hard-textured cheese that is cooked but not pressed. It has been described by connoisseurs as the King of Cheeses (and wine collectors enjoy it with big wines like Barolos and Barbarescos). It is made from raw cow's milk that is partially skimmed by gravity. Traditionally, cows have to be fed only on grass or hay. The cheese is aged an average of two years. The name is trademarked, and in Italy there is a legal exclusive control exercised by the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese Consorzio over its production and sales.
Each wheel of cheese must meet strict criteria early in the aging process, when the cheese is still soft and creamy, to merit the Consorzio's official seal and be placed in storage for aging. Cheese which fails to meet these criteria is removed. The whey, which is a by-product of cheese making, is fed to the pigs that produce Prosciutto di Parma. Parmigiano-Reggiano is a D.O.P. protected trade name. Parmigiano-style cheeses that are made outside of the Emilia-Romagna and Lombardy regions of Italy, and outside the jurisdiction of the Consorzio, anywhere in the world, are called Parmesan. Read more about Parmigiano-Reggiano.
Pasta filata, or spun paste, refers to a family of cheeses, mostly Italian, that are cooked and kneaded, or "spun." The cheeses range from very fresh to hard grating cheeses, and include mozzarella, provolone and scamorza.
PASTE or PÂTÉ
The interior body (non-rind portion) of the cheese. It is described by its texture, density, and color. When milk is too low in beta carotene, producing pale cheese, the vegetable dye annatto can be added to the curds to give the paste more color.
Cowgirl Creamery's Mt. Tam has a light gold, semisoft paste with eyes.
Pasteurization kills all bacteria in milk—beneficial as well as harmful bacteria. Because the beneficial bacteria add flavor to the cheese, many cheesemakers prefer to use raw milk. However, in the U.S., due to health concerns, raw milk cheeses must be aged for 60 days so any harmful bacteria will be killed. In pasteurization, the milk is heat treated to a specified temperature for a specified time: 145°F for 15 minutes (heat treatment) or 185°F for 15 seconds (flash pasteurization). The heat kills off all the microbial life in the milk—bad as well as good bacteria—making a clean medium for the starter culture. However, pasteurization also kills many of the natural enzymes in the milk which create flavor complexity, which is why many connoisseurs prefer raw milk cheeses—and cheesemakers prefer to make them. See also raw milk cheeses.
PROTECTED DESIGNATION OF ORIGIN or PDO
A trademark issued by the European Union that guarantees that a product is produced, prepared and processed in a designated geographical area, according to specified practices. Purchasing a PDO cheese guarantees a consistent product experience and an established standard of excellence.
See mold.
PERSILLE or FROMAGE À PÂTE PERSILLE
A French term for a blue-veined cheese (blue cheese). It is so named because the blue veins resemble parsley (persille in French).
A descriptive term for a sharp-tasting cheese.
One of the largest groups of cheeses, pressed, uncooked cheeses comprise hard and semi-hard cheeses. Thus, the pastes are generally semi-firm to firm. The most commonly recognized names in this category are Cheddar and Colby in hard cheese and Double-Gloucester, Edam and Gouda in semi-hard cheese. The curds are pressed to dispel the maximum amount of whey and lengthen the cheeses' shelf life, since, before refrigeration and easy transport, the cheese needed to be sturdy enough to travel to market.
These are cheese by-products made from a combination of natural cheese and added ingredients, such as stabilizers, emulsifiers and flavor enhancers. The objective is not to create artisan cheese, but a consistent and shelf-stable product for mass market consumption. Cheeses in this category include American cheese, processed cheese spreads and "cheese flavored" spreads. Velveeta, a popular product for nachos, doesn't even have enough cheese by-product to quality as a processed cheese: It is a "cheese food."
A descriptive term for a cheese's aroma or flavor.
A spun cheese of the Italian pasta filata group, which also includes mozzarella and scamorza. It is often found on antipasto plates. Provolone means large provola, a term that referred to buffalo milk cheese. Today it is made from cow's milk, a semi-hard cheese that varies in flavor from mild provolone dolce to aged, sharp provolone piccante. The smaller varieties are also found smoked (affumicata). Provolone is made in unusual shapes. The most common is the salame shape shown at right, but it is also made in the shape of a watermelon, bottle, pear (mandarino) and cone. Provolone valpadana and provolone del Monaco (from the Naples area of Italy) have both received the DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) seal from the European Community.

This is fallacy. We can/have empirically proven lots of things. We don't however, have any empirical evidence of the God you claim.Originally Posted by Statler Waldorf
You should remind yourself of that definition every time an atheist insists evolution is factual, because there isn't a shred of evidence to support the evolution myth.
Meanwhile, let me inform you that the above definition of faith you gave is not the Bible's definition. Below is what the Bible says about faith. Keep your eyes on the words in bold print.
"Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld." (Hebrews 11:1)
Let me break that down for you. The Bible presents almost 2,000 accurately fulfilled prophecies as evidence that it is the inspired word of YHWH/Jehovah/Yahweh. It presents examples of how God dealt with people in the past as evidence of how he will deal with us. God stood by his promises in the Bible. This tells us that when he promises to do something for humanity in the future--and it's written in his inspired Word, the Judeo-Christian Bible--we can be assured those promises will be kept because of God's past record of always keeping promises.
The aforementioned amounts to an "assured expectation" and "evident demonstration of realities though not beheld." Future promised blessing from God will certainly happen.

Well said. Atheists see the same evidence for the existence of God as do those of us that are believers. They've chosen to dismiss the evidence and to go so far as to argue against the evidence for the existence of God. One cannot convince others of something when they've made up their minds to stubbornly ignore the evidence being presented to them. You know the old saying: "You can take a horse to water but you can't make it drink."
Either way in death we will all have our "answers" one way or the other and the beauty of the debate is that everyone could actually be right.
"Frank's Redhot - I Put That **** On Everything!" ~ Ethel
Yahweh/Jehovah/YHWH provides answers to many of our questions in his inspired Word, the Judeo-Christian Bible. Although it's true that no human has answers to all the questions, we can get the correct answers to most of the questions in the Bible.
You're kidding of course. Since when did the dead have answers? You might start by looking up the meaning of the word "dead" in your Merriam Webster dictionary. You will find that "dead" is the opposite of "alive." According to the Bible, the dead are unconscious and know absolutely nothing.
Last edited by Alter2Ego; 08-07-2012 at 09:16 PM.
Definition is created by humans, we as humans "know" little in the grand scheme of the cosmos.
"Eclessiastes 9:4-6 " For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. 6 Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun. "
The script that you quote (albeit slightly wrong) in your text is highly debatable, it could be construed that in death you need not worry about mortal things anymore, like anger, fear, happiness, work, death, love etc...and that in death you are unlocked from the bounds of human definition as "we" know it under the sun.
Last edited by NY8123; 08-07-2012 at 03:54 PM.
God tells us in his inspired Word, the Bible, that death is the opposite of life. The terminology "could be" is nothing more than personal opinion aka speculations. But since that seems to work for you, go for it.
To hear you tell it in your paragraph at the top of this post: "Death it is only a path to enlightenment a balance to life as we "know" it." In other words, you KNOW much more than the average human along that line, according to your statement about death being a path to enlightenment. You can stick with your personal speculations. I will stick with what the Bible says at Ecclesiastes 9:5.
I don't recall quoting any scriptures dealing with death in my previous post.

Apr 22 2013: A much better solution would be to use them form medical experimentation. Currently medical research is expensive in some measure because tests of experimental drugs in humans is forbidden so it has to go through a lot of steps that would be unnecessary otherwise. What if the medical community could have a pool of human specimens in which to test such drugs and other medical treatments, of course those specimens would be people how had being convicted with almost 0% chance of being innocent.

Apr 23 2013: When you do your calculations about just how many innocent people would have to be sacrificed to a "medical" death for the dubious benefits of untried procedures, how didi you arrive at your ratio? Are you OK with being one of the potential victims? I trust that you have heard of Dr. Mengele, a Nazi doctor doing more or less what you are proposing. I don't remember hearing of a single person who thought it was any less than monstrous.
- +1
Apr 23 2013: First of all, if you read carefully I never said this should be applied for all, only for those who are convicted far beyond any "reasonable doubt", that is: there should be no evidence of innocence nor regret, and be declared guilty not only by a majority of the jury but unanimously.
Secondly: There is a very huge difference between injecting people with a substance which in advance is known to be poisonous just to see what happens (Dr. Mengele) and giving them a drug specifically designed to heal a disease they have with the hope of healing them. Again, there is a huge difference between trying to induce pain and trying to relieve pain. Two completely opposite things.
I don't see this as a "punishment" I see it as a way in which the criminals can repair in some measure the damage the done to society, in most cases while getting some benefit from it.Apr 23 2013: I think it is too brutal than capital punishment.Those victims have to suffer from both psychological burden and physical pain.I found that a crimials could be sentenced of 100years in U.S or other countries ,I don't believe it is more efficient than the capital punishment.
Apr 23 2013: I am not talking about punishment, I am talking about a way in which the criminals can repair in some amount the damage they done, while at the same time getting the benefits of the latest medical research. If you peer a little bit beyond prejudgment you will realize that the "punishment" might become a reward in some cases, for the convicted person in the first place, as well as for the rest of human kind as a final result.
Duane Thomas
Apr 24 2013: Capital punishment exists in an ancient way of reasoning that our global community has been steadily progressing away from for centuries. Why, in our justice system (of the west) do we not sever the hand of a thief, castrate a rapist, stone the unfaithful or any number of other punishments that can be imagined by the human mind. Is it our morals? Is it our religion? Is it the doubt in us and our abilities? Is it the uncertainty in the justice system?
- +1
In my view, it's the disassociation between the community and the justice system that poses the greatest problem. It's the textbooks filled with page after page of loopholes and legal jargon that make it nearly impossible for the layman to navigate. The exact same crime can be tried by two different judges in two different courts with the same exact evidence and because of a minor loophole one of the two may walk, the other may face life in prison or even death. This in my view shows the injustice in the law and the inequality amongst each other. The scales of justice are imbalanced, causing me to believe that no person, no matter the heinousness of the crime should be killed. It's almost like the death penalty endorses sweeping the problem under the rug to forget about our hurt and pain. We should learn from these people, understand the how and the why because only then can we make the changes that actually matter.May 4 2013: "As a valid punishment" is incredibly subjective. We must try and qualify and quantify "how much violence is enough to deserve death". That in and of itself is laden with subjectivity. For some, if a family member dies that is enough. For others, a single death is not enough based on how disconnected they are from the person. For others, it is dependent in the violence and nature of the crime. The mere idea of "did you plan it or not" raises the level of the crime.
Also, the nature of the crime. Some feel there is a significant difference between crimes against adults and crimes against children. Crimes against women is another area where there is a great deal of difference of opinion and belief.
So, there really is not a cut and dry easy answer to said question.
In regard to terrorism, they issue becomes even more challenging. As the violence is random and many of the terrorists feel that death raises them to martyrdom status, there is a political and social component as well. We must ask the question, does killing this person serve the purpose of what we are after.
I guess the real question might be simply one of justice. At what level does capital punishment serve as the appropriate level of justice for the crime? That has been debated and changed through history.May 1 2013: Capital punishment should be given in 'rarest of the rare ' cases when the crime committed is heinous , the criminal doesn't exhibit any guilt and there are chances that he might continue doing such crimes. Else, what punishment can we give to a criminal who is imprisoned for life for murdering 10 people and he after being jailed kills the jailor / prison guard?Apr 28 2013: Interesting question. Having lived in countries with + without capital punishment I do not necessarily see a difference on crime rates. You indicate above the increasing terrorist activities and perhaps linking this with capital punishment. I do not believe this would deter terrorists as they will then be seen as matryrs for their cause and will be happy to die in this manner. If anything, capital punishment may actually make the situation worse.
My personal opinion is that before looking at the punishment, perhaps we need to look more at the root cause. The sad thing is that there is rich source of disgruntled and disaffected people who suddenly find that the extremists have the answers they seek. The extremists have the answers because those (e.g. govt, healthcare facilities, police) that are suppose to help/support no longer do so - everything from able to see a doctor to having a job, roof over their head, food in their belly. The offer of these things will persuade the downtrodden to at least listen. (NOTE: this is not reflecting any particular religion or organisation. I use extremists because this covers all denominations and activities). The extremist message is often a perversion of truths which is personalised to link the individuals experience to a focused target/enemy.
Terrorism is a crime however history will always view this differently. Today's terrorist is tomorrow's freedom fighter. History is littered with this - every country's fight for independence will recount the liberators as nationalists but I am quite sure they could also be termed as terrorists at the time - depending on the side of the coin you sit.
As for what kinds of criminals should be executed... my personal thought is that no person has the right to take another life. There are some atrocities - agreed but capital punishment is the quick way out. The victims suffer and so should they. I think removing some of the mod cons in prison might make the punishment more fitting.Apr 24 2013: Generally the argument for and against capital punishment rests on several principals, such as the severity of the crime, how effectively it deters others from committing similar crimes, the legal systems ability to prove unquestionably the guilt of the suspect, and to a lesser extent the theology of a society (whether they believe the person will be punished in an afterlife etc).
In regards to these topics most modern secular societies/individuals (myself included) reject capital punishment as an ineffective deterrent that is seen as an easy out for the criminal as he/she will not live with the guilt and lack of freedom for the rest of their life, while also potentially taking the life of an innocent person if wrongly accused.
However in aid of a varied discussion on the subject and approaching the question from a different perspective, I propose the question, that in a world of overpopulation and chronic food, water, energy and space shortages associated with human consumption, is it/or should it be acceptable to keep someone alive who has committed such a terrible crime that society has decided they will never be rehabilitated and released. In these cases where incarceration is final, death may be seen as more humane as the individual will never be released and therefore has nothing to live for. It also may be morally preferable to deliver a lifetimes worth of food, water, heating, clean clothing, electricity, accommodation and other luxury's that these prisoners would have delivered to them and paid for by the state, to those in society who are morally good but destitute.Apr 23 2013: ZX: If I understand you correctly, you are expressing the ancient idea of repayment, or balancing out of atrocities called "an eye for and eye, and a tooth for a tooth." . This idea generally faded out of fashion thousands of years ago. Why revive it now? If carried out,does it really make victims feel better, or what? i think most victims would prefer to see their attacker spend time in jail. I agree with you that C. P. does not actually deter crime. But I don't see "Slave Labor" as a feature of a civilized country either.
May 3 2013: Actually, in most civilized societies, slave labor was prevalent in some form, as was capital punishment, until only recent history. In some societies, slaves were considered a valued position. That being said, slavery, like capital punishment, has only gone out of fashion in recent history.Apr 23 2013: It has always been considered that Capital Punishment does not actually deter anyone from committing crimes, at least since medieval times, when it was observed in England that, at Public Executions,( a popular entertainment of the time) it was found that pickpockets (a Capital Crime) were quite active in the crowd watching the Public executions. As for crimes committed by totally mentally ill people, or suicidal ones, that is not contructive either.
But the main arguement against it is the impossibllity of avoiding the execution of innocent people, which happens all the time. We rightly feel that such a thing outweighs all the supposed "benefits" of executions.. Although this was known before the use of DNA evidence, as people rightly suspected that publicity seeking Prosecutors , and Police trying to "fill their quotas" of arrests, were actually railroading innocent people to jail just to make themselves "Look good", the use of DNA evidence proved it , on such a large scale, that an Illinois Governor some years ago cancelled totally Capital Executions in his term, because there was such fraud. The simplest, most unerstandable standard is to make killling people illegal , period , across the board.

Satellite View Selection
07:00 ACST on Friday 28 August 2015 | Cloud/surface composite, Australia
Images from Japan Meteorological Agency satellite MTSAT via Bureau of Meteorology.
IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1800UTC chart on 27 August 2015 Issued at 6:19 am EST Friday on 28 August 2015 A weakening middle level disturbance over western Queensland, combined with a slow moving surface trough, has generated a middle to upper level cloud band over eastern Queensland and northeast New South Wales. Embedded thunderstorms are evident within this cloud band, mostly offshore of southeast Queensland. Areas of low to middle level cloud remain over southeast New South Wales and eastern Victoria, due to a complex low pressure system centred off the coast of New South Wales. A mass of cold air, represented by small cellular clouds, lies behind a weakening cold front moving across Tasmania. A surface trough has combined with another middle level feature over the Kimberley and central districts of the NT to trigger convective activity, with areas of middle level cloud streaming eastwards. Patchy cloud remains over central and southern WA as a result of a surface trough near the west coast. A weak cold front is triggering thunderstorms to the southwest of Perth.

Children of Latino Immigrants Skew Even More Democratic Than Parents, Study Says
Originally published on Thu February 7, 2013 7:12 pm
Immigrants from Asia and Latin America are more conservative than their U.S.-born children, according to a study released Thursday by the Pew Research Center.
And while most immigrants from Asia and Latin America identify with the Democratic Party, the report found that Hispanic members of the second generation — those born in the United States with at least one parent born outside of the country — were even more likely to identify as Democrats than their parents.
That Democratic-leaning identification grew from 63 percent among first-generation Hispanics to 71 percent among their children.
Second-generation Asian-Americans showed no change in party identification, but still leaned overwhelmingly Democratic, at 52 percent compared with 32 percent Republican.
Among the general public, 49 percent of Americans identify as Democratic, compared with 39 percent who identify as Republican, said Pew, whose report was based on an analysis of Census Bureau data.
The study found a big gap between immigrant parents and their children on social issues like abortion and gay rights. About half of all Latino immigrants feel that gays should be accepted by society, but among their children, that acceptance jumps to about two-thirds. Among Asians, that spike is even more pronounced: 46 percent of the first generation think homosexuality should be accepted, while 78 percent of the second generation believe that it should be.
On the issue of abortion, the study found that 33 percent of first-generation Latinos thought it should be legal compared with 55 percent of the second generation who were in favor of abortion rights. While about half of first-generation Asians felt abortion should be legal, two-thirds of the second generation felt that way.
But this trend didn't necessarily hold true for views about the role of government. While Latinos were much more likely to prefer an activist government than Americans at large, there's a dip in support for bigger government between the immigrant generation (83 percent) and their American-born children (71 percent).
The same was true for Asian-Americans: About 6 in 10 first-generation immigrants supported bigger government, compared with just under half of their children.
"One of the things is that there's a correlation between vulnerable populations and big government," Pew's Paul Taylor said. "That may explain the very high levels of support for bigger government, particularly for first-generation Latinos."
The report comes as Congress and the White House consider how to overhaul the country's immigration system, and as Republicans try to reach out to Latino and Asian-Americans, who voted overwhelmingly for President Obama in last November's presidential election. Almost all of the growth in the nation's working-age population from now until 2050 will come from immigrants and their children, which means that winning voters from those demographics will be crucial to the parties' electoral successes.
The study also found that second-generation Latinos and Asian Americans were nearly twice as likely to see themselves as "typical Americans" compared with their parents. But majorities from both groups say they most often identify themselves as from the country of their ancestors.
"The metaphor that people used in the 20th century about immigrants and integration was ... America's a melting pot," Taylor said. "I think the better metaphor for the 21st century might be a mosaic" — that is, distinct parts of a larger whole.
"They do have a sense of being part of this country while also hanging onto their identities," he said.

I will meet with the patient, and answer each individual questions until full satisfaction and understanding is reached. Annual follow-up visits for life are welcome and complimentary. I strive to provide the latest advances in Plastic Surgery, and I only use FDA-approved medical devices and products.
As a woman, I understand the need to keep femininity in harmony with graceful aging.
The focus of my practice is Cosmetic Surgery of the Face, Breast, and Body Contouring.

Wofford's Option Prevails Over ETSU, 24-3
Saturday, November 17, 2001Spartanburg, S.C. - Wofford rolled up 322 yards rushing and scored touchdowns on its first two possessions of the game as the Terriers took a 24-3 Southern Conference football win over East Tennessee State in Spartanburg, S.C. The loss broke a three-game winning streak by ETSU and dropped the Buccaneer's record to 5-5, 3-4 in the Southern Conference. Wofford improved to 4-6 and 3-4 with the win, its third straight over ETSU. ETSU took the opening kickoff and picked up pair of first downs to start the game, but a penalty on the Bucs, one of 10 for 88 yards called on ETSU, seemed to take the steam out of the drive and the Bucs were forced to punt. Wofford took over on its own 22 and proceeded to use its option offense to grind out a 78-yard drive in 13 plays to score. The Terriers gained all but 18 yards via the ground game, with J.R. McNair taking it the final yard to put Wofford up 7-0 with 6:26 showing on the clock. After holding ETSU on its next possession, the Terriers drove 67 yards for another score, this time with Melvin Jones scoring from a yard out to put them up 14-0 with 12:47 left before halftime. ETSU finally put together a good looking drive late in the first half. Starting at its own 27, ETSU drove down the field on the arm and legs of senior quarterback Matt Wilhjelm (Johnson City, Tenn.). He completed 4-of-5 passes for 42 yards and rushed for 13 more as the Bucs got a first and goal at the Wofford eight. But two straight incomplete passes stalled the drive and the Bucs had to settle for a 21-yard Con Chellis (Summerville, S.C.) field goal. In the second half the Buccaneer defense held Wofford on its first drive, but on the ensuing ETSU possession, Wilhjelm was intercepted on a deflected ball by the Terriers' Lee Basinger and Wofford had the ball at the ETSU 18-yard line. The Buccaneer defense held, and Wofford settled for a 20-yard field goal to extend its lead to 17-3. Wofford's defense held off the Bucs the rest of the way, however, holding ETSU to just three first downs for the rest of the game. The Terriers tacked on another touchdown early in the fourth quarter on a five-yard run by Nick Haughey to ice the win. The Terriers had three runners gain over 70 yards on the afternoon, led by McNair's 83. Wilhjelm led ETSU with 36 yards on the ground as the Bucs could only muster 85 total yards rushing. In the air Wilhjelm completed 17 of 32 attempts for 138 yards. He was intercepted twice. Wofford, with its strong ground attack, passed for only 42 yards during the afternoon. Cecil Moore (Morristown, Tenn.) had another strong afternoon for ETSU, grabbing nine passes for 90 yards. The Terriers put together 364 yards of offense and gained 24 first downs, while ETSU totaled 223 yards and 11 first downs. East Tennessee State will finish the 2001 season with a Thanksgiving Day matchup at VMI. Game time in Lexington will be noon.

It took the better part of my day, but it's done.
I just want to say thanks to FW for making yet another awesome feature available to the 500 members. I am amazed at all the perks for the 500 members.
Does anyone have any idea how often publishers actually log in and review the author's websites? Just curious!
I'm going to add a link from my ministry website, too! Actually, maybe I'll put a place where all the FW contributors to our ezine can link their websites. Thinking out loud here, but I'm just kinda tickled right now!
Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!
Love ...

Recipe by MINERFAMILY
"Extremely rich combination of chicken, spinach and creamy pesto sauce. Serve with crunchy bread and romaine salad--it's the best!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 tablespoons
olive oil
2 cloves
garlic, finely chopped
skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into strips
2 cups
fresh spinach leaves
1 (4.5 ounce) package
dry Alfredo sauce mix
2 tablespoons
1 (8 ounce) package
dry penne pasta
1 tablespoon
grated Romano cheese
Excellent!!! I've made this countless times. I use Classico brand basil pesto (small jar, green) and a jar of Classico brand Garlic Alfredo sauce. Instead of just the 2 cups of spinach, I use the entire bag of baby spinach leaves and add a couple of button mushrooms, sliced thinly. I sear my boneless, skinless chicken breasts first (sprinkled with creole seasoning/cayenne pepper for spiciness), and once they are cooked through I set them aside, wrapped in tin foil, until everything else is done, then chop them into bite sized pieces and toss them in the sauce. The chicken stays very moist and tender this way. I also like to throw some diced tomato (lightly salted) on top before serving. So delicious.
This is one of the best pasta dishes I've found on this site - definitely a keeper. Thanks for sharing!!!
This was just ok, but I think with a little tweaking it would be good. First, olive oil on medium-high heat is enough to completely blacken minced garlic-- as I found out quickly enough. Second, one should absolutely add as much spinach as one can get one's hands on-- the amount called for in the recipe, once wilted, is next to none, especially for those like me who find the spinach the most appetizing part of the recipe to begin with. And, make sure your pesto is very fresh-- mine wasn't and therefore did not add the lovely pungent flavor I was expecting. Otherwise, preparation was relatively easy and straightforward, and the number of ingredients few enough that I will try it again, hopefully with a better end result. Thanks for posting!

SO nice, with SO many variations. Hey you 3 star raters, it's you, not the recipe... Use any Alfredo sauce, dry or in a jar. Use any Pesto you like. I use home made "Lite Alfredo" sauce and home made Pesto. Add any vegetable you want, onion and mushrooms are excellent. Use any pasta on hand. Always use more garlic than called for and definately more Spinach as suggested. Prawns and/or chicken work great. Add Parmesan or other cheese if you like. Everyone loves this dish, in any form!!
Absolutely wonderful.....my hubby who does not like alfredo, loved it. I used sun dried tomato pesto, a whole bag of baby spinach, added onion in when I sauted the chicken, added sun dried tomatoes when I added the baby spinach and used 1 cup of four cheese alfredo sauce. Next time, I will cut back the sauce to 3/4 cup. But, I will make again and again! Thank you for the recipe!
I don't give 5 stars unless something is incredible, and this recipe is not only incredible, but it is very easy and looks beautiful! This tastes like something you would get at an Italian restaurant. I put in about twice as much spinach as the recipe called for because I like spinach, but besides that, I followed the recipe as written. I will DEFINATELY be keeping this recipe!
This is a great recipe. I only used a 1.6 oz.Knorr Alfredo sauce mix and a whole package of spinach. It cut down on calories and the added spinach was great. I also used 2 chicken breast for the recipe for 4 and it was plenty of chicken.
I used a an entire 10 oz bag of spinach and it was the perfect amount. I made a packet of garlic alfredo and also made the pesto from a mix and the dish came out wonderfully. Microwaves well the second day.
Wow - tastes great, presents great but easy to make. As others suggested I doubled the spinach but could have easily tripled it! I used a jar of sauce and made my own pesto from the 'Easy Pesto' recipe on this site. The hard part was waiting for the noodles to cook and not dipping into the sauce. Fantastic.

Va. OKs bill to let violent crime victims meet with death row inmates
from Dena Potter's story on wtvr.com:
Lorraine Whoberry tried for years to meet face-to-face with her daughter's killer before he was executed last month. She was repeatedly denied.
So the day after she witnessed his execution, Whoberry sat down with Gov. Bob McDonnell and asked for his help. A bill was making its way through the Virginia General Assembly that would allow victims of violent crime to meet with the perpetrators, but it excluded those on death row and juveniles.
McDonnell amended the bill to allow victims to meet with inmates on death row. On Wednesday, the General Assembly unanimously approved the change.
Although more than half of the states have victim-offender mediation programs, advocates said Virginia would be one of the first to cement it in state law. Virginia also becomes one of only a handful that allow meetings with death row inmates.
"Even though it's not going to affect us, at least we've got something done," Whoberry said when told about the change.

What Happened to Yosef Bones when the Took them out of Egypt ot actually when the Found them?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Mi Yodeya is a question and answer site for those who base their lives on Jewish law and tradition and anyone interested in learning more. It's 100% free, no registration required.
The Bavli, Sota 13, says (if I understand it correctly):
Come, see how beloved commands were to Moshe rabenu, for all the Jews were busy with spoils and he was busy with commands [specifically, filling the promise of taking Yosef's bones, see the beginning of B'shalach —msh210], as it says "a wisehearted person will take commands...".
The Tosfos Shantz (סוטה יג, א) says that they took the Bones of Yosef and placed it in the skin of a כבש (Goat I Think) the Animal then came alive with Yosef Bones in it and Thats why it says נוהג כצאן יוסף.

Pura Ulun Danu Bratan I have skeptical feeling when I planned the family trip to Bali. Although those were many years ago, the 2002 and 2005 terrorists' attack on the island are something many people still talk and worry about. But all these fear dissipated when we visited the island.

A St. Mary's jail inmate found hanging in his cell last weekend remained unconscious Tuesday in a hospital bed, his mother said, as she spoke about his mental illness that accompanied a series of arrests, before and after his treatment at a state hospital.
Wesley Brennen Morris, 20, of Great Mills most recently was put back in the detention center last month to await his trial on charges that he twice assaulted a girlfriend.
Last summer, Morris was ruled to be not criminally responsible on animal-mutilation charges dating back to 2011 when law officers found a deer's carcass with stab wounds off Indian Bridge Road.
Last summer's diagnosis that Morris had a mental illness led a judge to commit him to the Spring Grove Hospital Center in Catonsville, his mother said this week. He was released earlier this year, she said, without any transitional rehabilitation at a halfway house.
"He was able to convince the people at Spring Grove that he was fine," Sharon Gonzalez said. "They put a bottle of pills in his hand and said 'go get counseling.' He crawled back into his old habits and behaviors."
She said she was told last weekend that the county detention center's staff checked on her son shortly after midnight Saturday morning and he was OK, but that when they returned within an hour, he was hanging from a bedsheet.
"They say he wrote a note," she said, "but they won't tell me what it said."
No one else was in the cell with Morris when the correctional officers making their rounds found him, according to St. Mary's detectives.
"The inmate was unresponsive," an investigator said. The correctional officers began resuscitation efforts and were soon joined by an ambulance crew.
"They found him, and may have saved his life," the investigator said.
On Tuesday morning at MedStar St. Mary's Hospital, Gonzalez said her son is still alive, but remains unresponsive, and that a brain scan's results were "nonconclusive."
Morris, a 2010 graduate of Great Mills High School, had been in and out of mental facilities since he was 13, his mother said, but he excelled at U.S. Marine Corps basic training three years ago at Parris Island, S.C., before he was abruptly discharged at Camp Lejeune, N.C.
"They had questions about his storytelling," his mother said. "His stories were always more embellished than what [things really] were. His stories were his reality."
Kaitlin Shipley, the girlfriend Morris is accused of assaulting, said he "seemed fine" when she talked to him on the phone last week.
"He doesn't mean to do it. You can tell he doesn't mean to do it," she said of the assault allegations against her boyfriend, which court papers state include a June 1 incident in Park Hall where her injuries led to an emergency flight to a hospital.
"He's fallen through the cracks every single time," his mother said. "They still should have been hyper-vigilant with him. It shouldn't have happened. We've all had so many warning signs that Wesley was headed that way."
