KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — At least 80 people were killed and another 231 wounded in the Afghan capital on Saturday, when a suicide bomber detonated his explosives-packed clothing among a large crowd of demonstrators, officials and witnesses said.

In the deadliest attack to hit the Afghan capital since 2001, a suicide bomber targeted a crowd of demonstrators in Kabul on Saturday, killing at least 83 people and wounding another 231. The attack was later claimed by the Islamic State group. If the claim is proved correct, it will mark the first time the extremists have struck the Afghan capital.

I normally order dresses and tops in size XL, so that is what I ordered in this dress. But when it came, I had to check the tag to make sure that I was sent the correct size! When putting it on, there was not even the slughtest chace it would zip even part of the way, and I estimated that it was cut more like a medium. This went back immediately.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Accurate
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Quality of consturction was good
- How accurate was the sizing? Completely wrong!
Pretty dress, but size was WAY off. Be careful. I ordered the XL and generally wear a 12-14. Very small. My mom (a size 8) tried it on and thought it was tight on her! Quality and look of the dress was very nice though.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Color as described
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Nice quality
- How accurate was the sizing? not accurate
The original color that I had ordered was Ivory but I got the blue instead and becasue I needed this dress for a function, I kept it. Size was perfect, but I didn't realize how low the neckline was, it is not slutty, just a little lower than what I was expecting. All in all, a good buy

It a load of rubbish from the original author. There's no reason whatsoever that loss of this data would cause problems in IE or Edge. Removing roots from MS's program doesn't happen without human input.
"What I don't understand (and maybe because I haven't looked too hard) is what "Old POS terminals" have to do with Mozilla."
The certificates they are using chain up to publicly-trusted roots, and so are covered by Mozilla's policies. In 20-year hindsight, that was a bad idea, but it was a decision taken a long time ago.
Er, it's a wiki. Add it.
The code for the DRM module Firefox uses is not part of the Firefox build system, but is downloaded at runtime. This can be done whether it's a Firefox built by Mozilla or not. So the DRM question has no bearing on whether you can call your version Firefox or not.
This series of blog posts: http://blog.gerv.net/2010/01/p... explains why Mozilla doesn't let just anyone call their modified version "Firefox".
The bug is unfixed for philosophical reasons, not because it's hard to fix. The Bugzilla developers feel history should be immutable.
And there has been no rewrite into another language since that bug was filed; Bugzilla as released by Mozilla has always been in Perl.
There was no issue with the Bugzilla software here; the problem was that a user reused their password on another site, which suffered a breach.
we could have lawful access... that we're prohibited from getting because of a company's technological choices.
Now you know how the public feels when they want to make fair use of some video on a DVD or Bluray.
CAs normally issue certs with 1-year validity. As they may not expire later than 2015-11-01, CAs will mostly stop issuing them on 2014-11-01. I guess you could ask them to cut a cert with a special, shorter lifetime but that would be hassle (and therefore extra cost).
Justin: sadly not so, 3.6.21 is not released yet. It will be in the next 48 hours, though.
We do care about bug reports, and we try and appear we care about bug reports - both by saying that we care, and trying to handle them. But Tyler is suggesting that our failure to handle all of them means that it might appear that our actions speak louder than our words.
If you want to help the two match up, do get involved with Mozilla
Mozilla has no such position as "Community Lead". Tyler was/is (he is still engaged in constructive discussion) a valued volunteer member of the Mozilla QA and triage community, but he does not have the title "Community Lead".
There are several things which Mozilla's new more rapid release process has made a bit rocky, as Johnathan Nightingale, the Firefox development manager, noted in a recent blog post (syndicated at the Future of Firefox blog). This is one of them.
And, of course, when Tyler says we have told bug reporters we don't care about their bug reports, that's not actually true. He is suggesting that this is what it might seem like. And clearly, it's not great when a bug report is filed and just sits there for months. Mozilla's success has made this a perennial problem for the last decade. We've cracked it, to a degree, before and I'm sure we can do it again.
A continuing flow of paper is sufficient to continue the flow of paper. -- Dyer

A successful crowdfunding campaign was a historic moment for Gaza's startup sector. Over 800 people contributed from over 50 countries to save their only startup accelerator and grow Gaza's nascent startup movement. Below is an update post-campaign.
Written by Iliana Montauk, Director, Gaza Sky Geeks
Mainting a Vibrant Co-Working Hub
When you helped us reach our first goal in the #GazaStarts campaign, you made it possible for us to keep our co-working hub open until the end of 2015. In the past four months, our hub has become more vibrant than ever before.
We now have 40 to 60 people making use of Gaza Sky Geeks' modest space each day! Every room is filled with a startup team, including our balconies and kitchen.
Teams tell us every week, "Gaza Sky Geeks is my home." What we had hoped for is taking place in front of our eyes: young people meeting each other and forming teams, sharing friendly competition as well as knowledge, and most of all, building a community that inspires innovation, fun, commitment, and a can-do attitude.
Outreach and Incubation
Just 1.5 months after our campaign closed, we ran our first big outreach event of the year (we've increased our goals from the campaign and are now hoping to do two big outreach events in 2015!)
We decided to shape this one as a bootcamp that would teach the Lean Startup model, since this curriculum had been sorely missing in Gaza and was affecting our potential entrepreneurs' ability to succeed. Have a look at how it turned out:
We were blown away by the bootcamp results. Run from March 27-31, the bootcamp attracted fantastic mentors from around the globe and strong early-stage startup teams. Our team believes that the content delivered was the best at any startup event to date in Gaza.

Gauteng ANCYL opposes e-tolls
The Gauteng ANC Youth League (ANCYL) on Monday said it was still opposed to the controversial Gauteng...
The Gauteng ANC Youth League (ANCYL) on Monday said it was still opposed to the controversial Gauteng e-tolling system.
The provincial structure said it will not support any proposals that do not include plans for cheap public transport.
On Tuesday, the Opposition to Urban Tolling Alliance (Outa) will head to court in a bid to derail the project, which has received widespread criticism from various groups and motorists.
Gauteng ANCYL Secretary-General Ayanda Kasa-Ntsobi said, "We are not going to support anything that tends to abuse young people. They [the youth] are also affected by the e-tolling."
Meanwhile, National Treasury on Monday announced that it has asked the court to take part in the upcoming case.
Motorists will have to fork out 30 cents per kilometre to use of the province's highways.
Earlier this month, the South African National Roads Agency (Sanral) was taken to the Consumer Commission for alleged violations of the Consumer Protection Act.

- Yahoo Finance•last monthCourt rules against PR in debt case
The Supreme Court ruled Monday that Puerto Rico can't restructure more than $20 billion in public debt as it tries to overcome a decade-long economic crisis. The 5-2 ruling said that federal bankruptcy law bars Puerto Rico from enacting its own law to restructure the debt of its financially ailing public utilities. The decision means the U.S. territory must wait for Congress to pass debt-relief legislation that would address its fiscal woes.

People must remember, this is a NETBOOK. Not a laptop or desktop replacement.
As a traveler, I got tired of lugging around a full blown laptop when it wasn't really necessary. I bought this little gem about a year ago, added more memory and a portable, external optical drive and an external, 1TB hard drive (though most of what I do can be fitted on the 250G internal hard drive), and it has served me with no complaints. It gets by airport security without having to pull it out (OK, a couple of times when TSA was being anal). But I'm able to do all I need to do without the bulk. A nice Targus bag to hold everything and it even fits in my carry-on backback.
No, it's not a full-fledged computer with all the bells and whistles. But it does a great job for a Road Warrior. I upload movies to watch on plane and have Netflix to watch in the hotel rooms. I have Google Drive to share documents and OpenOffice to create and edit documents.
The construction is solid! As much as I have toted it around this past year, nothing has gone wrong with it. When I get back to my home-office, I sync it with my desktop to update all files updated and created while on the road.
Therefore, used correctly, this is a little gem capable of doing a lot. I highly recommend this Netbook. Just use it as it's intended. A tablet with an attached keyboard.

I've always been a fan of their powders. They work great on my combination skin and what i truly love from MAC is how great this matches my skin. I use NC40 or NC42. It is always so hard to find any types of foundation that match me perfectly.

One of the classic powders in my opinion. I always keep it handy for more humid, more oily days when I require more coverage. And coverage it does deliver! Its super mattifying and makes my skin look photoshop like, doesnt feel too dry despite being more on the dry side.
The only down side is that if applied generous amount it can cause camera flashback.
Otherwise lovely for those more on the oily side looking for fuller coverage out of their products.

i recently hit pan on this so i thought i should review it.
it does make your skin look flawless; it sets your foundation with an extra layer of coverage. it is a really nice powder and there are sooo many colours available which i do love about MAC. it lasted me almost a whole year with daily use which i love!
however! i have very oily skin and i forgot to use this powder once and although i did look a bit flat my makeup lasted so much longer without using it. the girl at mecca said that this could be due to over using matte products which suck out the moisture and your skin produces more oil to compensate.
it's a nice product but not quite HG status for me and i probably won't buy it again, but still 4 stars :)

My HG foundation powder was discontinued this year. I tried a handful of new products and this was the one I chose. I like it better than what I was using originally. It's lightweight but offers great coverage, I have acne and acne scars . It is very affordable and lasts a long time. It is not Cakey or drying - it's matte but I don't feel like I have powder face. Sets my makeup very well and I really don't have to use much at all. Only downside is, it's not sold at Sephora - so I have to make an extra trip to another store to get this. But it lasts so long that it's really not a problem. My new HG for sure!

Ive been using this product for about 10 years and will continue to do so for many more to come. This powder is the main reason I enter a mac store. A little bit about my skin- its dry, dull and a bit textured under the eyes and cheeks. Once i apply this sparingly with the given sponge (which works excellent) it instantly gives me a baby soft and illuminated appearance. I would always receive compliments such as "youre glowing" or "your skin looks like a baby's!" Which I know this powder is the reason! It is excellent at covering any discoloration and blurs out any texture on my face. This product is gold!

This stuff looked worse than horrific on me. I'm oily so I thought a powder foundation would do the trick. Wrong. My office at work has a ton of natural light and I was horrified to see what a dry, cakey mess this powder turned my face into. It aged me 20 years...shudders.
I used this once, that was enough & I returned it. MAC has to be THE most over hyped brand on the planet.

I had such high hopes! I have very oily, very pale skin - and this made my face look dry, flaky, and weirdly yellowy-beige, even though I got it in NW10. My forehead was a mass of big, obvious flakes, and it only got worse as the day went on. Just out of curiosity, after I'd washed off my makeup at the end of the night, I tried my regular powder foundation (which has been discontinued, hence my search for something new), and it looked perfectly smooth. Go figure. And, come morning, I had a few blemishes starting on my face.
This made my skin both *look* worse and *feel* worse - so it lost me on both counts. I returned it, and my search continues!

This is the number one when it's come to the powder foundation. It's my essential product that i keep buying when i ran out.
My skin: combation/dry. Perfect match shade :C2 (nc15-20 / buff in revlon / W2 in loreal)
I use this staff in two ways: as a setting powder and as a foundation and it does the job perfect in both. It's very longlasting ,it looks very natural(if you have the perfect shade) it minimise your pores and literally looks good in sunlight. I think every skin type could use this powder foundation.
Oily skin people can use mattyfing primer underneath, dry skin people can use sth hydrating.
*To set your makeup it does good job and set it perfectly, mattifies skin a little bit and it also add coverage to your foundation.(good coverage)
*As foundation i recommend to use primer for powder to lock on.
My favourite way to apply is using Loreal lumi primer underneath foundation. . This is gonna give extra hydration, glowth because these types of products(mac strobe cream,lumi loreal etc.) are kinda tacky they re gonna make sure that powder is gonna be on your face for longer hours. Use a concealer for dark circles blemishes etc. Then use kabuki brush by sigma to apply it. And i set my makeup with thermal water or mac fix+. Voila! It looks like a second skin and it gives medium-full coverage. Thanks to the primer and setting spray i doesn't look flat matte but neither dewy.
It also saves time for application. I loooove this product! Highly recommended.

As much as I want to love this product I can't :(
I have this product in Natural and in a more darker colour for when I am wearing fake tan. It is drying on my skin and when not applied in a perfect natural light can look over-done and patchy. However a little bit goes a long way and the powder pallet lasts a along time.
The powder itself does last a long time on the skin but as I said, can look patchy especially depending on what you are doing during the day.
Overall I think this product would suit someone that doesn't have combination skin like myself and unfortunately I would look at other powder pallet options.

Antibiotics for Strep Throat
There are 17 comments on the www.emedexpert.com story from Sep 19, 2008, titled Antibiotics for Strep Throat. In it, www.emedexpert.com reports that:
About one sore throat in ten is strep throat. Strep throat is caused by the bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes. With strep throat, the sore throat is often more severe and persists.
What antibiotics do is to kill the bacteria and cut down the risk of possible dreaded complications.

I've tried both original brand and generic pills. There is no difference in effectiveness as far as I can tell between the brand and Indian generic versions. The real difference is price, no comparison. And the India suppliers from http://allbestmeds.info seem honest and reliable.

Strep throat is caused by Group A beta-hemolytic streptococci which are ordinarily
spread by direct person-to-person contact, most likely through droplets of saliva or nasal secretions.
Antibiotics should not be prescribed until the culture result confirms strep throat or another bacterial pathogen. Antibiotic treatment can begin immediately only when:
Patient is very ill .
Culture results will be delayed for more than 72 hours .
Patient follow-up will be difficult .
so i think don't often use antibiotics for strep throat, unless without any other methods.

Can also help prevent some of the rare complications related either to the strep infection itself or to the body's immune response to the infection

I have ordered prescription drugs (without a prescription) online from http://inhousegeneric.info about two years ago, and was pleased with the speed and quality of service.
I'm thinking of doing the same thing with my medication. The meds is expensive, but there is a generic version available overseas.
I love the idea of taking responsibility for my own health (or lack of health) and skipping the bureaucracy... to say nothing of having to drive to the doctor, wait in line, yet again, to get a prescription refilled.
#16 Apr 19, 2013
http://inhousegeneric.info very clear and informative site, simple ordering process and very fast delivery. All round excellent service - will use again.

I have used http://qgeneric.info/#yibr for about 3 years and find their products to be reliable and speedily delivered. The Support team are very promt and helpful in solving any issues that arise,caused by my errors not the company's. I was a little sceptical initially about buying generic products rather than brand names. However, the Mens' Health products I have bought have been equally as efficatious as the brand names at a fraction of the cost.

http://inhousegeneric.com is an honest and genuine online pharmacy. We were not sure at first because this was our first order of generic medication from this pharmacy. Although it takes a bit long because it got stuck with custom, we are completely sastisfied with this online pharmacy.
You won't be disappointed with them. Their customer service is great too although they need to improve their phone system a bit more. If you need to call them just be sure to call during their working hours. Other than that we highly and sincerely recommend this online pharmacy to everyone.
#20 Aug 15, 2013
Naturally, I am skeptical of everything online. http://inhousegeneric.com is legitimate. I placed my first order for the smallest amount possible. It arrived sooner than expected. I didn't pay the extra money for speedy air mail. I placed another order that was much larger and it came right on time. I will definitely use this company again for even larger orders now that I trust them. They also give you discounts every time you place an order which is cool. One thing to keep in mind is if you place a larger order, they will send half in one shipment, and then the other half after that to avoid customs scrutinizing your package. I am very happy, I no longer need to pay tons of money to see a doctor and therapist (and have them tell me a bunch of stuff I already know) in order to get my medication.

Wouldn't take antibiotics for strep. Natural ways of healing can get you better.
If you keep taking vitamins on a daily basis you'll become more defensible against infections and sickness. I tried this supplement called instant immunity, that I found on amazon. Been feeling pretty good I'd say.
#24 Aug 5, 2014
I recently had an experience with someone and was left sick for a few days after. Literally couldn't move out of bed and had a canker sore. Finally saw my physician when I felt well enough and told me to look into some vitamins, foods and herbs.
He gave me a list of vitamins and foods to make part of my daily diet. Once I started looking into these vitamins and herbs that boost your immune system, I found this product called instant immunity. Along with my proper diet and daily intact of that instant immunity supplement, I've been ok and have had one outbreak so far. For anyone that's in the same predicament, I would recommend that course of action as it's helped me get through this.
#25 Aug 17, 2014
Some antibiotics are very effective, just ask your doctor. I usually get it online at http://my-usa-direct.com/... cause it costs cheaper there. But you can also by at local pharmacy in your city.

Chevy and GM agree to replace our faulty 2012 Volt with new 2013 model!
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Editorial, Features, Transportation
Remember our 2012 Chevy Volt that failed while driving and almost got me in an accident? We updated the story with the details about trying to work with Chevy and GM to get a replacement Volt since we no longer felt safe driving the one we had. After all, it had been in the shop for repairs every two weeks since we had picked it up the first time. Well, we are please to report that Chevrolet and General Motors did right by us, and agreed to replace our 2012 Volt with a newer, similarly-equipped 2013 model. Since this was a lease, it was a bit more complicated than a simple trade. Instead, we did what's called a VIN swap. The result? We keep the same lease terms and paperwork, with the VIN being the only change on the documents. It took a while since the 2013 Chevy Volt wasn't available until very recently, and once it arrived, we needed to wait for all the paperwork to be completed. Still, it was worth the wait. Stay tuned for our 2013 Chevy Volt review.

With more than 100 Fiesta events produced entirely by local nonprofit groups, the events generate funding for scholarships, grants, health organizations, and arts and music groups.
Fiesta began in April 1891 when San Antonio women staged a Battle of Flowers in front of the Alamo to commemorate the battles of the Alamo and San Jacinto.
Fiesta UTSA is an alcohol-free event, along with the upcoming Party on the Paseo, set for 6:30-10:30 p.m., Thursday, April 26 at the University Center paseo on the Main Campus.

Music at the event will be provided by Filligar and the Lost.
Party on the Paseo is credited with a dramatic decrease in alcohol violations on campus during the opening weekend of Fiesta. In the first year of the program, violations decreased from 14 to seven -- and then down to one last year.

Skip to comments.RUSH: Live Thread - Schiavo vs Elian - Compare and Contrast
Posted on 03/28/2005 9:18:27 AM PST by fishtank
Rush: The 11th Circuit Court had said "No" to Johnny Reno, but she went ahead and took custody of Elian anyway...........................
I thought the 11th Circuit had approved Elian's deportation. Am I remebering wrong?
Yes, but the liberal judges turned their heads and did nothing about it. If a conservative violated a court order, the crap would hit the fan.
I'm surprised Rush brought it up because he sure was critical of the abduction of Elian (and rightly so IMHO).
Secretary of Defense Cohen, Impeached Bill Clinton, Albright, and long-accepted CODE-level thief
and document destroyer National Security Adviser Sandy Berger,
holding court in the Ronald Reagan Building on April 25, 1999
The Impeached Bill Clinton: "We were all making comments
we shouldn't have about how the meeting was getting very boring.
So finally we decided we had to make like the monkey. Cohen
started this 'hear no evil,' and then I was next so I spoke no evil,
then Madeleine saw no evil, so Sandy Berger said, 'I'm evil.'"
That is the difference between a court ruling that goes against conservatives and one that goes against liberals.
It also shows that Jeb and Dubya have the power to step in and save Terri,,,if they really wanted to.
The sad case of Terri Schiavo has raised passions not seen since five years ago. Then another bitterly divided family argued in Florida courts over someone who couldn't speak on his own behalf: Elian Gonzalez.
In both cases, those who were unhappy with the courts' decisions strained to assert the federal government's power to produce a different outcome. The difference is that in Mrs. Schiavo's case, Congress backed off after passing a bill that merely asked a federal court to hear the case from scratch, something that U.S. District Judge James Whittemore declined to do. By contrast, those who wanted the federal government to intervene in Elian Gonzalez's case went all the way, supporting a predawn armed federal raid on the morning before Easter to seize the 6-year-old boy despite a federal appeals court's refusal to order his surrender.
Both cases were marked with hypocrisy and political posturing galore. Both times some conservative Republicans talked about issuing subpoenas to compel the person at the center of the case to appear before Congress; they swiftly backed down when public opinion failed to support their stunt. Rep. Barney Frank, a Massachusetts Democrat, argued that by opposing Elian's return to his father in communist Cuba, conservatives were abandoning the principle that "the state should not supersede the parents' wishes." In the case of Terri Schiavo, many conservatives who normally support spousal rights decided that Michael Schiavo's decision to abandon his marital vows while at the same time refusing to divorce his wife rendered him unfit to override the wishes of his wife's parents to have her cared for.
But liberals have gotten off easy for some of the somersaulting arguments they have made on behalf of judicial independence and states' rights to justify their position that Terri Schiavo should not be saved. Many made the opposite arguments in the Elian Gonzalez case.
Elian was plucked from the ocean off the coast of Florida on Thanksgiving Day 1999. after his mother died in an ill-fated attempt to bring him to freedom. Before he became a political football and Fidel Castro demanded his return, the Immigration and Naturalization Service granted him immigration "parole," which gave him the right to live in the U.S. for one year until his status was determined. Because Elian was underage, his fate would therefore be decided by local family courts. On Dec. 1, the INS issued a statement saying, "Although the INS has no role in the family custody decision process, we have discussed the case with the State of Florida officials who have confirmed that the issue of legal custody must be decided by its state court."
Then the Clinton administration reversed course after protests from the Castro regime reached a fever pitch. On Dec. 9, the INS declared its previous position "a mistake" and said that state courts would not have jurisdiction in Elian's case. They claimed that because Elain was taken directly to a hospital he was therefore never formally paroled into the U.S.--even though he was then turned over to his Miami relatives rather than the INS. "Technically, he was not paroled in the usual sense," said a Justice Department spokesman. But she could come up with no previous case in which a Cuban refugee had had his parole revoked and then had the INS move to return him to Cuba.
But it quickly became clear that was the INS's intent. Over the Christmas holidays the agency dispatched agents to Cuba to interview Elian's father, Juan Miguel Gonzalez. After the interview, Mr. Gonzalez told reporters the agents and an accompanying U.S. diplomat had assured him Elian would be returned. The Clinton administration disputed those statements, although one of the government officials later privately acknowledged they had been made. Nonetheless, INS bureaucrats in Washington quickly determined that a man who had abandoned Elian and his mom for another woman was a "fit parent" who could "properly care for the child in Cuba." No public consideration was given to the fact that his father, a member of the Communist Party, might have been coerced.
If a state court had been allowed to hear the custody case, INS officials would not have been able to testify as to what Mr. Gonzalez told them to support his claim because it would have been hearsay. He would have had to come to the U.S. to testify on his own, subject to cross-examination. Even if the state court had granted him custody, it would have had to decide whether it was in the child's best interest to be returned to Cuba.
That's what Judge Rosa Rodriguez of Florida Family Court, complying with the original INS ruling, tried to do when she ruled in early January 2000 that her court had jurisdiction over the boy and gave Elian's great-uncle legal authority to represent him. Her order contravened an INS ruling that only Elian's father could speak for the boy and that he should be immediately returned to Cuba. Attorney General Janet Reno than promptly declared that Judge Rodriguez's ruling had "no force or effect." At the same time, INS officials assured reporters that under no circumstances did they intend to seize Elian by force.
The stalemate continued for another three months. On Thursday, April 20, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals--the same court that rejected the pleas of Terri Schiavo's parents last week--turned down the Justice Department's request to order Elian removed from the home of his Miami relatives. Moreover, the court expressed serious doubts about the Justice Department's reading of both the law and its own regulations, adding that Elian had made a "substantial case on the merits" of his claim. It further established a record that Elain, "although a young child, has expressed a wish that he not be returned to Cuba."
The Reno Justice Department acted the next day to short-circuit a legal process that was clearly going against it. On Good Friday evening, after all courts had closed for the day, the department obtained a "search" warrant from a night-duty magistrate who was not familiar with the case, submitting a supporting affidavit that seriously distorted the facts. Armed with that dubious warrant, the INS's helmeted officers, assault rifles at the ready, burst into the home of Elian's relatives and snatched the screaming boy from a bedroom closet. Many local bystanders were tear-gassed even though they did nothing to block the raid. Elian was quickly returned to Cuba; because he was never able to meet with his lawyers a scheduled May 11 asylum hearing on his case in Atlanta became moot.
Of course, there are differences between the Gonzalez and Schiavo cases. But clearly many of the people who approved of dramatic federal intervention to return Elian to Cuba took a completely different tack when it came to the argument over saving Terri Schiavo. Rep. Frank makes a compelling argument that Congress took an extraordinary step when it met in special session to create a procedure whereby the federal courts could decide whether Ms. Schiavo's rights were being violated. He may have a point when he accuses Republicans of "trying to command judicial activism and dictate outcomes when they don't like" rulings. But where were Mr. Frank and other liberals when the Clinton administration decided to sidestep a federal appeals court and order an armed raid against Elian Gonzalez? While Mr. Frank allowed that the use of assault rifles in the Elian raid was "excessive" and "frightening," he also defended the Justice Department's view that "of course [agents] had to use force."
According to some reports, Gov. Jeb Bush considered seizing Mrs. Schiavo, à la Elian, and taking her to a hospital so she could be fed. But he did not do so. "I've consistently said that I can't go beyond what my powers are, and I'm not going to do it," the governor says. Janet Reno and the Clinton administration showed no such restraint when it came to Elian Gonzalez.
Sandy's passing gas in that pic?
Gov. Bush had the power.
But he was afraid to use it.
So libs violate the law - nothing happens.
When conservatives violate the law - the excrement hits the fan.
Either Bush should/could go in and rescue Terry, and damn the torpedoes.
Rush said "If you ask me...The Gonzalez case has the greater degree of thumbing their noses at the courts."
And it was wrong, and we still hate her for it.
We should hate either Bush just as much if they flaunted the law so brazenly.
It is a sad situation.
I cannot agree the Judge Greer's flatulence is the "law".
So what is the point? Is Rush really saying that since J. Reno violated the law, it is OK for us to do the same? I don't think that is a road I want to go down.
What law did Reno Violate?
According to this thread, she violated a court order. That is against the law.
So Americans should have followed the Dredd Scott decision to the T, even though that meant returning escaped slaves back to their owners rather than give them aid and comfort on their passage to freedom, therefore flaunting "the law" in a brazen manner?
President Bush had the power too, the power to send Federal marshals.
Neither would use it. Were they afraid (which would be typically Republican) or were they just not really interested?
I'm not hearing him say that... yet.
But then,
Rush points out that Terri Schiavo's medical condition has been misrepresented and the media perpetuates it so public opinion goes against Governor Bush going in. He also points out that the Clinton Justice Dept. did what they wanted and had the support of the media and public even though they went against the two courts.
Ah, so Bush and/or Jeb should emulate Slick and Reno's blatant abuse of power with Elian? I'd hope not.
"The judges ahve made their decision. Now let them enforce it."
To cubicle bound: Rush is now comparing Tom DeLay's dad's case to that of Terry Schindler.
All that may be true. It doesn't justify our following in the steps of the Clinton administration.
They did, apparently, at the local police level.
Judges are often wrong. Their mistakes must be resisted.
per Rush: "Nobody had to KILL Tom Delay's father in order for him to die."
Fund talks about what Reno did in this WSJ article:
Sorry, but it is.
If you don't like a law, get it changed, but don't whine about getting a strict judge that enforces the law as it is.
No. But that is a red herring anyway as the court will not be there at the time to make a ruling like that.
A good question Rush asks is: Are food and water ..medical assistance?
Exactly which law was Greer adhering to?
Just because Dred Scott was a court ruling, doesn't make it good, true, right or even "the law".
"And it was wrong, and we still hate her for it.
We should hate either Bush just as much if they flaunted the law so brazenly."
I TOTALLY disagree. The Florida constitution states in Article I, Section 2, that "[a]ll natural persons, female and male alike, are equal before the law, and have inalienable rights, among which are the right to enjoy and defend life ... ." According to the Constitution, "no person shall be deprived of any right [including the right to enjoy life] because of ... physical disability."
The governor has the supreme executive power and the constitutional duty, stated in Article 4, Section 1, to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed," and he took an oath of office stating the same. He is SWORN to uphold uphold the constitution, and IS OBLIGATED to safeguard our constitutional guarantee of the "inalienable right ... to enjoy and defend life," regardless of physical disability.
Jeb Bush MAY NOT disregard that obligation, even if a member of the judiciary has ordered otherwise. He is NOT bound by a court order that is AT ODDS WITH A CONSTITUTIONAL GUARANTEE!! What part of that are people NOT getting?????
Thomas Jefferson said, "[T]o consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions [is] a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy." Maybe some of us should look up what those words mean??
Abraham Lincoln had the backbone to disregard the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Dred Scott when he issued the Emancipation Proclamation. It wasnt EASY but it WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO!!!
Jeb Bush has to choose between the clear mandate of Florida's constitution and a judiciary which, in this case, IS RUNNING AMOK and has acted in defiance of that state supreme law.
A rogue judge CANNOT tell a governor he can't obey the law. Floridas law ALLOWS the DCF to intervene. Even by asking whether or not a judge can or should be defied shows our ignorance of our own laws and we end up playing into the hands of judicial tyrants such as Greer. By the way, ARE YOU AWARE that one of Greers last rulings resulted in a woman being stabbed to death by her husband because he REFUSED to grant a protective order?
Rogue judges are NOT a law unto themselves even though they (and some uninformed people) think they are. Jeb Bush is the last hope in this matter... barring a miracle of some type.
I must admit that I've wondered what all these people who are just licking their chops over Terri's death would do if God reached down and touched her and COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY restored her and she got up with all of her senses and memory intact. What would they do then? Shoot her because Greer said she's supposed to die? This is how ridiculous and preposterous this has become.
If Jeb Bush is afraid to do his duty, I do not believe that he will hold another term in office. I think God will raise someone else up who will take the hard right over the easy wrong.
A politician passing up a photo op is pretty damned remarkable.
You know this does nothing in terms of raising the public's opinion of judges.
The laws on Guardianship in Flori-duh.
Hmmm, a tough case. I can think of several answers here, none of which are allowed on FR. However, no woman should kill her baby just because a funky old pervert in a dress tells her to.
I just received this from RightMarch.com. Even if you only have time to make one or two contacts, please at least do that.
TAKE ACTION: Here are the two areas we need you to take
action in NOW:
1) Governor Jeb Bush has made several statements the last few
days, claiming that he doesn't have the constitutional or
statutory authority to take Terri in to protective custody.
But as we've mentioned before, we *personally* told his people
FACE TO FACE that he DOES have that authority: we had a
meeting on March 23 between folks from RightMarch.com (William
Greene and our attorney, Larry Klayman) and Governor Bush's
chief counsel (his top lawyer on staff). Then we had a meeting
on March 24 between our folks (this time, Larry Klayman AND
Ambassador Alan Keyes) and Gov. Bush's Chief of Staff. Both
times, we presented information on why the Governor DOES have
the authority RIGHT NOW under Florida Law and the Florida
constitution to take Terri into protective custody NOW, and
save her life.
But Gov. Bush failed to take action. Why? We believe that his
staff -- the political cronies that he has surrounded himself
with -- have NOT given him the documents we provided. They
just smirked and gave us political platitudes, acting like
they were doing US some big favor by granting us five minutes
of their valuable time. Then they walked off, apparently
tossing Dr. Keyes' well-researched documents into the trash
when they got back to their spacious corner offices.
These people are more interested in protecting their political
careers than saving Terri's life. So it's time for US to turn
up the heat on them, and DEMAND that they deliver the documents
that Gov. Bush NEEDS -- so he can save Terri Schiavo.
Ambassador Keyes and Larry Klayman are STILL willing to meet
with the Governor, or to have a conference call to explain
his authority, and his DUTY.
We need EVERYONE READING THIS MESSAGE to call Governor Bush's
lead counsel and chief of staff RIGHT AWAY, and tell them to
do one simple thing:
Call, fax or e-mail now:
Raquel Rodriguez, General Counsel
850-488-3494 (office)
850-488-9810 (fax)
William Large, Deputy Chief of Staff
850-488-5603 (office)
850-922-4292 (fax)
Also contact Gov. Bush and ask him to read the documents:
Governor Jeb Bush
850-488-4441 (office)
850-487-0801 (fax)
(If you get busy signals, or full mailboxes, or unanswered
fax machines, please know that these ARE the correct numbers
and addresses. Just keep trying, if you can.)
You can click below to read -- AND USE -- Alan Keyes'
documentation that explains to Gov. Jeb Bush that he has the
legal authority to save Terri Schiavo... the SAME document
that we delivered to Gov. Bush's staff:
2) On Monday, we'll be sending several representatives up to
Washington, D.C., to confront House Speaker Dennis Hastert and
Congressman Tom DeLay, asking them to explain why they have
not enforced the subpoenas issued by Congress to Terri Schiavo.
Our people will also urge Congress to find Florida Probate
Judge George Greer in contempt for deliberately IGNORING Terri
Schiavo's subpoena.
Call, fax or e-mail Reps. Hastert and DeLay now, urging them
to enforce the Congressional subpoenas and to hold Judge Greer
in contempt -- and to therefore order the re-insertion of Terri
Schiavo's feeding tube... and ask President Bush to order the
Department of Justice to move in to save Terri:
Representative J. Dennis Hastert (R-IL)
202-225-2976 (office)
202-225-0697 (fax)
Representative Tom DeLay (R-TX)
202-225-5951 (office)
202-225-5241 (fax)
President George W. Bush
202-456-1414 (White House)
202-456-2461 (fax)
As long as Terri has breath in her body, IT'S NOT TOO LATE to
save her from starving to death. Her family hasn't given up
hope... so NEITHER SHOULD WE.
"I don't want anyone trying to feed that girl.
The law of the case is that she is going to die."
Judge Greer re:Terri Schiavo. Pray4Terri.
Rush: "In a perfect world the public would be outraged that we are killing an innocent citizen. I am not for lawlessness, in spite of this situation. The judges are acting like they are not equal with the other branches of government."
That law was deliberately written to give the federal judge an opportunity to do what he did. The whole thing was a political photo op for congress. They never wanted to save her, because the vast majority of Americans don't want the Feds interfering.
So do I.
OT: Diogenesis, are you familiar with Latin? The name Felos, isn't it rooted in Latin and doesn't it share the same root as such words as felon, felony and felo-de-se, which is defined as:
1 : one who commits suicide or who dies from the effects of having committed an unlawful malicious act
2 : an act of deliberate self-destruction : SUICIDE
How strange if true, given that the name Schiavo means "slave" in Italian.

Adult Children of Alcoholics
The following are the 12 Steps of Adult Children of Alcoholics (often abbreviated as ACoA). The term "adult child" is used to describe adults who grew up in alcoholic or dysfunctional homes and who exhibit identifiable traits that reveal past abuse or neglect. The group includes adults raised in homes without the presence of alcohol or drugs. These ACA members have the trademark presence of abuse, shame, and abandonment found in alcoholic homes.
For the steps below, you can click on the More about... button to read comments from books and websites about that step, or click on the People Working ... button to read about or hear people working the given step, or click on the Videos about... button to see videos about the given step. We also have forums for discussing the 12 steps in general and each of the steps in particular.
We admitted we were powerless over the effects of alcoholism or other family dysfunction, that our lives had become unmanageable.
Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understand God.
Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
Admitted to God, to our selves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
Humbly asked God to remove our shortcomings.
Made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.
Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
Continued to take personal inventory and, when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.
Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understand God, praying only for knowledge of God's will for us and the power to carry it out.
Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to others who still suffer, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Netflix's new docu-series tackles a fascinating story of a community college that serves as the final stop for dozens of potential superstars.
A Comic-Con 2016 report from the "Creating Universes" panel, featuring Neil deGrasse Tyson, Len Wein, Bill Prady and Peter S. Beagle.
"Boiler Room" tells the story of a 19-year-old named Seth who makes a nice income running an illegal casino in his apartment. His dad, a judge, finds out about it and raises holy hell. So the kid gets a daytime job as a broker with a Long Island, N.Y., bucket shop that sells worthless or dubious stock with high-pressure telephone tactics. When he was running his casino, Seth muses, at least he was providing a product that his customers wanted.
The movie is the writing and directing debut of Ben Younger, a 29-year-old who says he interviewed a lot of brokers while writing the screenplay. I believe him. The movie hums with authenticity, and knows a lot about the cultlike power of a company that promises to turn its trainees into millionaires, and certainly turns them into efficient phone salesmen.
No experience is necessary at J.T. Marlin: "We don't hire brokers here--we train new ones," snarls Jim (Ben Affleck), already a millionaire, who gives new recruits a hard-edged introductory lecture crammed with obscenities and challenges to their manhood. "Did you see `Glengarry Glen Ross'?" he asks them. He certainly has. Mamet's portrait of high-pressure real estate salesmen is like a bible in this culture, and a guy like Jim doesn't see the message, only the style. (Younger himself observes that Jim, giving his savage pep talks, not only learned his style from Alec Baldwin's scenes in "Glengarry" but wants to be Baldwin.) The film's narrator is Seth Davis (Giovanni Ribisi), an unprepossessing young man with a bad suit who learns in a short time to separate suckers from their money with telephone fantasies about hot stocks and IPOs. Everybody wants to be a millionaire right now, he observes. Ironically, the dream of wealth he's selling with his cold calls is the same one J.T. Marlin is selling him.
In the phone war room with Seth are several other brokers, including the successful Chris (Vin Diesel) and Greg (Nicky Katt), who exchange anti-Jewish and Italian slurs almost as if it's expected of them. At night the guys go out, get drunk and sometimes get in fights with brokers from other houses. The kids gambling in Seth's apartment were better behaved. We observe that both gamblers and stockbrokers bet their money on a future outcome, but as a gambler you pay the house nut, while as a broker you collect the house nut. Professional gamblers claim they do not depend on luck but on an understanding of the odds and prudent money management. Investors believe much the same thing. Of course, nobody ever claims luck has nothing to do with it unless luck has something to do with it.
The movie has the high-octane feel of real life, closely observed. It's made more interesting because Seth isn't a slickster like Michael Douglas or Charlie Sheen in "Wall Street" (a movie these guys know by heart), but an uncertain, untested young man who stands in the shadow of his father the judge (Ron Rifkin) who, he thinks, is always judging him.
The tension between Seth and the judge is one of the best things in the film--especially in Rifkin's quiet, clear power in scenes where he lays down the law. When Seth refers to their relationship, his dad says: "Relationship? What relationship? I'm not your girlfriend. Relationships are your mother's shtick. I'm your father." A relationship does grow in the film, however, between Seth and Abby (Nia Long), the receptionist, and although it eventually has a lot to do with the plot, what I admired was the way Younger writes their scenes so that they actually share hopes, dreams, backgrounds and insecurities instead of falling into automatic movie passion. When she touches his hand, it is at the end of a scene during which she empathizes with him.
Because of the routine racism at the firm, Seth observes it must not be a comfortable place for a black woman to work. Abby points out she makes $80,000 a year and is supporting a sick mother. Case closed, with no long anguished dramaturgy over interracial dating; they like each other and have evolved beyond racial walls. Younger's handling of their scenes shames movies where the woman exists only to be the other person in the sex scene.
The acting is good all around. A few days ago I saw Vin Diesel as a vicious prisoner in the space opera "Pitch Black," and now here he is, still tough, still with the shaved head, but now the only guy at the brokerage that Seth really likes, and trusts enough to appeal to. Diesel is interesting. Something will come of him.
"Boiler Room" isn't perfect. The film's ending is a little too busy; it's too contrived the way Abby doesn't tell Seth something he needs to know; there's a scene where a man calls her by name and Seth leaps to a conclusion when in fact that man would have every reason to know her name; and I am still not sure exactly what kind of a deal Seth was trying to talk his father into in their crucial evening meeting. But those are all thoughts I had afterward. During the movie I was wound up with tension and involvement, all the more so because the characters are all complex and guilty, the good as well as the bad, and we can understand why everyone in the movie does what they do. Would we? Depends.
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.

Publisher's Description
Well known bishop and church leader Paul S. Morton Sr. draws on the Old Testament story of the Israelites exodus from Egypt and time honored spiritual principles and truths to explore how Gods power and presence can bring about much-needed spiritual change.
First, spiritual change does not come easily and is often preceded by conflict, as well as strife as believers strive to recognize their own internal struggle. Morton argues that ground zero for any spiritual change first happens within.
Second, spiritual change must happen at wider level. It requires the members of the community as a whole to shift their thinking, restructure the desires of their hearts, and restore their souls to the point of being one with God.
Third, once the community experiences spiritual change, the gate is open for the final stepspiritual growth. This essential step not only results in enriched, progressive intimacy with God, but it also has a lingering effect that fosters and begins the cycle anew in others who desire that same intimacy. In essence, spiritual change eventually becomes a spiritual trait that gets handed down to future generations.
Author Bio
Born in Windsor Ontario, Canada, Morton relocated to New Orleans, Louisiana in 1972 and became the Senior Pastor of the Greater Saint Stephen Missionary Baptist Church, where he remained for thirty-three years, transitioning it into a Full Gospel Baptist Church.
Currently, Bishop Morton serves as Senior Pastor of the baby church, G.S.S. Changing A Generation, in Atlanta, Georgia and his wife, Pastor Debra Morton, remains Senior Pastor of the mother church in New Orleans. They serve as each others Co-Pastors.
