Treatment of diabetes in dogs is fairly straightforward. The majority of dogs have Type I diabetes mellitus like humans and will need insulin injections once or twice a day. The structure of dog insulin differs from human insulin, however, so although human insulin is often used for treating canine diabetes, some dogs may benefit by using an insulin more closely related to their own, namely porcine (pig) insulin. If a human insulin is used in treatment, it is most often Humulin NPH, generally referred to as N.
1. Appropriate Health Care
If your dog is alert, hydrated, and eating and drinking without vomiting when diagnosed, your pet can be treated as an outpatient. There is no need for your vet to hospitalize a newly diagnosed diabetic who is otherwise healthy. Not only would hospitalization incur needless expense, it would stress both you and your pet and could actually delay the control of your dog's diabetes.
2. Activity
Exercise, especially strenuous activity, can have a positive effect by lowering your dog's blood glucose levels. If the glucose levels are lowered, the insulin dose will decrease. Exercise for all dogs is encouraged. For diabetic dogs, a consistent amount of exercise each day is extremely helpful.
3. Diet
(Also see the detailed information in the DIET chapter)
Avoid semi-moist foods that tend to contain high amounts of simple sugars. These will contribute to higher blood glucose levels ("postprandial hyperglycemia") that make diabetes harder to control. Current recommendations are to feed a dry food that contains a high percentage of insoluble fiber, is low in fat, and high in complex carbohydrates. Many veterinarians will recommend a prescription diabetic food. While many of these are good, you may be able to find a more nutritious and lower cost food at a pet store that will provide the same benefits. Avoid non-premium foods.
If your dog is obese, his health will improve if you control his caloric intake so that the ideal weight is achieved over a several month period. Exercise is invaluable for weight reduction also. Control of diabetes will also help the weight normalize.
If your dog is thin, this may be due to the catabolic (breaking down) nature of diabetes and with control of the diabetes, the weight should normalize. If your dog is thin, be especially aware of the possibility of ketoacidosis which can be life threatening and also altered immune function.
4. Owner responsibilites
Ask your veterinarian questions about feeding and medication schedules, home monitoring, signs of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and what to do, and when to call or visit the veterinarian.
Do not make changes in your dog's treatment regimen without discussing it with your veterinarian.
Keep a chart of pertinent information about your dog such as home monitoring results, daily insulin dose, weekly body weight, and other notes. Insulin dosage schedules that can be posted on the refrigerator or other prominent places can be very helpful in making sure your dog receives insulin at the proper time. Small notebooks can be used for other records. Be sure to take your notes with you when you visit the vet.
1. Drugs
All dogs with Type I, or insulin-dependant diabetes mellitus (IDDM), will require insulin. The vast majority of dogs have Type I diabetes. Dogs can be treated with human insulins although there are insulins on the market that are formulated for canine diabetes. Most dogs will require two injections a day although there are some longer-lasting insulins that may enable a dog to be on one injection a day. Only your veterinarian and your dog's reaction can determine which insulin and which injection schedule is best for your pet.
Oral administration of hypoglycemic agents are generally not effective in dogs. Your dog will instead need insulin.
2. Contraindications
There are NO contraindications to giving a dog insulin. If your dog has diabetes, she will need insulin. Without insulin, your dog will suffer and eventually die.
3. Precautions
Steroids, such as are given for asthma or allergies, can cause insulin resistance. If your dog is on these medications and is not diabetic, watch for symptoms of diabetes. If your dog is already on insulin and must take steroids, a dose adjustment (usually increased) is often necessary.
If your dog receives hyperosmotic agents such as mannitol or radiographic contrast materials, she should be closely monitored for complications. A life-threatening condition called hyperosmolar coma can result. Monitor your dog for higher than normal blood glucose, hydration, and activity level. Consult your vet for any abnormal changes.

Terrorists Can Speak in Canada, Pamela Geller Can't | Daniel Greenfield, FrontPage Magazine
Every Western country is falling under the same mandate that conflates national security with not offending Muslims.
The Canadian reality is still different than the American reality. And the Canadian reality is different than the European reality. But the gaps between the three are shrinking.
York Regional Police threatened to remove a rabbi as one of the force's chaplains if he hosted a controversial anti-Islamist speaker at his Thornhill synagogue.
Insp. Ricky Veerappan, of the force's diversity, equity and inclusion bureau, confirmed he and officers from the service's hate crimes unit met with Rabbi Mendel Kaplan of the Chabad Flamingo Synagogue on Tuesday.
Veerappan said he told Kaplan that Geller's speech "would not be endorsed by York Regional Police" and that the rabbi's role as a force chaplain would be thrown into question if he were to permit the event.
"If he did (host Geller), then we'd have to reassess our relationship with (Kaplan)," Veerappan said. "We serve the needs of the entire community. Some of the stuff that Ms. Geller speaks about runs contrary to the values of York Regional Police and the work we do in engaging our communities."
Veerappan said a member of York Region's Muslim community, whom he wouldn't identify, brought Geller's scheduled talk to the attention of police.
In March, the University of Toronto hosted controversial Muslim lecturer Tariq Ramadan, who has also spoken in Toronto at the annual Islamic faith conference, Reviving the Islamic Spirit. In October, Pakistani politician Imran Khan, a controversial critic of the U.S. war on terror, spoke in Brampton. Leila Khaled, a Palestinian revolutionary from the 1970s, is set speak at University of British Columbia on May 4.
The rules are fairly straightforward. Muslims are allowed to do anything they like because interfering with them might rile them up. And non-Muslims are only allowed to praise Islam because otherwise Muslims might get riled up.
There is no standard of behavior. Only a security concept that stakes everything on not riling Muslims up. And that means free speech goes by the wayside.Obama officials have engaged in similar efforts to silence and even imprison those who burned Korans or made movies offensive to Muslims. Every Western country is falling under the same mandate that conflates national security with not offending Muslims.
In the name of that inoffensiveness, Muslim speakers who promote terrorism are tolerated in order not to offend the Muslims who might otherwise turn to terrorism. And non-Muslims who oppose terrorism are silenced because if they speak, Muslims might turn to terrorism.
This is the upside down world that appeasement has given us where black is white and good is evil.
Blazing Cat Fur has Salim Mansur's letter which makes the same point......(read the rest here)

Oklahoma City University School of Law Considers a Plan to Move Downtown
OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma City University is considering a plan to join the dynamic development downtown and move its law school into one of the city's historic buildings, President Tom McDaniel announced this week.
Fred Hall, chairman, president and CEO of the Fred Jones Companies, said the school could create an anchor for the western side of downtown Oklahoma City, forming a legal district much like the medical district that anchors downtown's eastern edge.
McDaniel said the new space would bring OCU's law school and law library under one roof and create new opportunities for students.
"Downtown Oklahoma City provides an excellent environment for our law school," McDaniel said. "Private legal offices and the county courthouse will be in close proximity and ongoing improvements downtown fit seamlessly with our future plans for OCU LAW. This is an exciting time to be a part of our great city and we are proud to be Oklahoma City's university."
The school has signed a letter of intent to lease more than 180,000 square feet in a renovated Fred Jones Building. Transportation initiatives included in the MAPS 3 proposal are vital to the project, McDaniel said. If the proposal passes, the law school could relocate in about 3 years.

"I like to be uncomfortable—to encounter new perspectives, go out into the world, and learn new things about it."
Jazmine Wilson '12 believes in making connections. As a member of the Diversity Action Council (DAC), she worked within the campus and Lexington communities to promote a wider range of understanding among different cultures. Her outreach work with DAC, Wilson says, helped prepare her for interning with Kentucky Refugee Ministries.
While most of Wilson's internship involved "behind the scenes" work, she's also had the opportunity to extend a hand to refugees in need. "They are so vulnerable, so I like to help them out any way I can," Wilson says. "The most rewarding aspect is just getting a thank you."
Wilson's work has included setting up appointments for refugees, helping fill out applications for those who don't know English, and visiting homes. "It's amazing how friendly they are," she says.
Wilson hopes to maintain her connection with refugees beyond graduation. Her plans may not reflect the typical anthropology major, but she says, "there are a lot of different things you can do with anthropology." Wilson aspires to be a veterinarian. "I think you can apply skills in anthropology to the vet field," she says. "People with animals can be their own unique culture."
Jokes aside, Wilson sees the beauty of anthropology within its flexibility. "You can connect all other disciplines with anthropology," she says. And Wilson is walking proof of that. Between Transylvania's campus, her internship, and her job at PetSmart, she is continually making the connections—continually seeing how learning about humanity impacts everything we do in the world.

If you take the time to dig in and study communication and preaching, you will find that one of the most effective methods for connecting with students when you speak is to intentionally use the word, "YOU." Although that statement sounds obvious and you are probably thinking, "That's the most blatantly obvious thing I've read all day!" Think again…
Think about the last conversation you had with someone who took the time to ask you about how you were doing or what was really going on in your life. Did you walk away feeling important? Ever have a conversation with someone and they just talk about themselves the whole time? Pretty annoying, right? Being intentional to use the word "you" when speaking or preaching to a group of students will dramatically increase your connection level.
The next time you prepare a message, try to intentionally change some of your I-statements" to you-statements. If you are honest with yourself, as a youth communicator you probably have the tendency to use the word "I" more than the word "You." This is an unconscious habit for most youth speakers. We like to tell personal stories. We like to give our opinion. We like to hear ourselves speak (ouch). It's time for some humility… Less "I", more "You." Remember what John the Baptist said about Jesus, "He must become greater, I must become less." (John 3:30). It's right there in the Bible… "I must become LESS!"
Youth Pastors can have a tendency to cushion the truth by using "we." While there is nothing wrong with a little humility, using the word "you" strengthens both the students' connection to the truth you are speaking and individualizes it for their situation. Notice the difference between these two statements:
- We all feel broken inside. (Good)
- You feel broken inside. (Better)
Notice how the you-statement cuts straight to the heart. It takes the message and applies it directly to the student personally.
1. Use "you" during informal conversation.
Try it the next time you are just hanging out. Use it with a student over coffee. Use it with your spouse. Try an entire conversation without saying "I."
2. Write some specific you-statements into your next message.
Be intentional to use a few well-placed "you's" in your next message. Change the "I"-phrasing to "you"-phrasing and notice the difference.
3. Use "You" whenever you are communicating from the stage.
Odds are, the next time you get up front to speak, there is going to be this thought that crosses your mind to say "you" while you are speaking. Don't be afraid. Do it! The more you practice saying "you," the better you will become at actually doing it and it will become second nature.
Matt Maiberger has been involved in full-time student ministry for over 16 years. He and his family are currently in the process of moving to Fort Collins, CO where he will become the Associate Pastor of Life Church. Matt is also the founder of Youth Speaker Coach " committed to the resourcing of youth pastors, youth workers, and youth speakers to help them become better communicators for the post-modern students represented in youth ministries today.

World Champion Vishy Anand has retained his title in a tense and exciting tie-break playoff with Boris Gelfand.
The Indian champion missed a winning opportunity in the first game with black, but won the second game of the 4-game tie-break when some excellent preparation drove Gelfand into terrible time-trouble and he lost a drawn ending.
Anand was lucky to survive a cramped position in game three, with the challenger missing the crushing 26. Nxe4, and Anand drew the final game to retain the title.
After the match Anand's immediate reaction was, "I'm too tense to be happy, but I'm really relieved".
Game 1: A very sharp and tactical game ended with a draw. Gelfand erred with 19.a4? which allowed 19...Qf3 and it looked like Anand had winning chances, but he seemed surprised by 22.Ra3 after which the advantage swung back to Gelfand. Despite this, Anand managed to hold for a draw. A missed opportunity for Anand?
Game 2: Vishy Anand wins and takes the lead! The opening followed game 10 until Anand varied with 7.d4. Gelfand was caught in the champion's preparation, and fell behind on the clock as he tried to solve his opening problems.
Anand found the strong move 17.Rg5, obtaining an excellent position, but Gelfand fought hard and achieved great drawing chances. Alas for the Israeli challenger, he was unable to continue to find the best moves as he survived solely on the 10 second increment, and Anand took the lead.
Game 3: Another exciting draw. Anand varied with 4...Bf5 and Gelfand grabbed a lot of space with 13.c5 and 14.f4. Anand's pieces became badly unco-ordinated and he sacrificed a pawn to free them and gain some activity.
Once again Gelfand was well behind on the clock and he missed the winning 26. Nxe4 after which Anand eventually achieved a draw.
Game 4: Vishy Anand draws the game with white and retains his title!
Anand exchanged queens early on to simplify the position at the cost of a slightly better position for his opponent.
Gelfand didn't need to be asked twice to attack, and threw his pawns forward on both sides of the board. But the champion had it all under control, and despite Gelfand's desperate efforts, he had to settle for a draw and the end of his challenge.
Anand wins the match on tie-breaks 2½-1½.
well done Anand congratulations
it was good to see 2 extremely friendly players...In prior years (Kaspy, Karpov etc), there seemed to be so much nastiness between the 2 opponents playing..btw, who were the seconds in this match? Was Aronian one of the seconds for Gelfand?
Congrats Anand....
Congrats to Anand...
Irrelevant World Chess Championship
Yo creo que Gelfand se va con una buena sensación. Anand no lo pudo derrotar en las partidas clásicas lo cual significa a mi entender que Anand está perdiendo el toque. Es lo que pasa cuando uno se va poniendo viejo. Los mas talentosos vendrán pronto a ocupar el podio. Ya saben a quienes me refiero.
So, if we're going to decide the World Championship in rapid and blitz games, what makes it different from the World Rapid and World Blitz Championships? Congrats FIDE on taking another giant step towards making the title irrelevant.
Congrats to Anand, well done...
it was confermed... but galfand pld suprisingly !!?
This championship was comfortable for Anand in the end i guess. But the next one could be perhaps more or less humiliating with the likes of kramink, Carlsen, and Aronian.
Congrats Vishy
Anand surely has lost a step...or is that the competition has come closer due to computer prep? Regardless, I wanted more from this Match, but enjoyed the games...really enjoyed The Rapids...it was my first time following the faster game.
Congrats Anand...you are still king of the hill...
Shut up "swine flu" !! improve your rating first.
Congratulations to the world champion (for the nth time)!
Drawnand: −10.8 rating points during wc.
Drawnand killed chess. Worst WC ever.
ANAND, you have done it again.
After so looking forward to this match I find that now it has ended I feel let down. It seems to me that Anand was quite happy to draw his way through as he was always the more likely player to win the tie breaks. For my taste there were too few games, too many draws and not nearly enough creativity. I'm sure most of us were expecting (or at least hoping for) something more from this match.
a very not-interesting WC match...
Congrats to Anand for defending his WCC title for the third time! Kudos to Boris for putting up a great fight!

Check out the latest Spotify-50 and Spotify Viral charts from all territories: http://www.spotifyartists.com/charts
US – Top 50:Another week, another top spot for "The Monster". For the fourth week in a row, the MMLP2 track from Eminem ft. Rihanna is #1 on the Spotify-50 in the US with almost two million plays. But despite all this success, four weeks is not even close to the longest tenure at #1 for 2013; that honor belongs to Robin Thicke and his world-beating hit "Blurred Lines", which spent 10 weeks at #1 back in the summer.And in fact, Eminem's reign at the top might end soon. Pitbull & Ke$ha are #2 for the second week in a row with their track "Timber", but the gap is closing fast. Last week they trailed "The Monster" by 310,000 streams, this week they're only behind by 220,000.The rest of the Top-10 remains largely unchanged: "Royals" by Lorde stays steady at #3 (boosted by a memorable performance at the 2013 GRAMMY Nomination ceremony, no doubt), One Republic's "Counting Stars" is at #4, and Drake stays in the Top-5 with "Hold On, We're Going Home".One Direction's performance on Saturday Night Live this weekend definitely aided their Spotify performance, as streams for "Story of My Life" jumped by 250,000, moving the track up a spot #9-#8 this week.And to prove once and for all that the weather definitely affects people's music-listening habits, The Neighbourhood's "Sweater Weather" is back in the Top-10 this week for the first time in several months (up one spot and 150,000 streams). The surge coincides with a cold spell that's overtaken pretty much the entire country. Bundle up!US – Viral Highlights:Even though the Spotify-50 is mostly dominated by keyboards and pop right now, the US Viral Chart isn't afraid to go hard. "You're Not Alone", the new single from hard rock band Of Mice & Men, debuts at #1 this week. It's the first single from their album Restoring Force, which is set to be released in January 2014.Last week's most-viral song in the US, "The Thanksgiving Song", has fallen off the charts .. but the holiday spirit is still strong. Holiday-themed song streams are up across the board, and a cappella sensation Pentatonix's rendition of "Little Drummer Boy" cracked the Top-10 on the Viral Chart at #9.Elsewhere, Aloe Blacc jumps two spots #4-#2 with "The Man". He's riding the post-"featured on 'Wake Me Up'" wave and proving that people love him in his own right too.And "Say Something" from A Great Big World continues its viral-backed growth on Spotify: it's at #5 on the Viral Chart this week and up five spots #17-#12 on the Spotify-50. Look for this viral story to blast into the Top-10 next week! UK – Top 50:The Spotify-50 in the UK is a bit more shaken up than its American counterpart this week, but the top remains the same: "The Monster" is #1 for the fourth week in a row. The track continues to just crush it worldwide. It's #1 on Spotify in 24 countries again this week, in the Top-3 in 30/33 territories, in the Top-5 everywhere. But a sea change might be in order in the near future: Bastille's latest "Of The Night" is up two spots this week #4-#2. Like Pitbull in the US, this track has been closing the gap in streams: last week Eminem had a 100K stream lead over the #2 track ("Royals"). This week the lead is down to 58K streams."Royals" and One Direction's "Story of My Life" both fall a spot #2-#3 and #3-#4 respectively, and Lily Allen rounds out the Top 5 with her cover of "Somewhere Only We Know".Keep an eye on "Under Control", the latest from Calvin Harris. It rose a whopping 18 spots and 150,000 streams(#25-#7) and is showing all the signs of being another massive hit for Harris. This one is a collaboration with Alesso and features the UK duo Hurts. UK – Viral Highlights:The sad news of Nelson Mandela's passing had a huge effect on the Spotify Viral Chart in the UK this week, led by ska-revivalists The Specials. Their 1984 UK hit "Nelson Mandela" was the most-viral song of the week and a pop cover of the same song came in at #3.Busta Rhymes is back with a strong new single called "Thank You". It features Kanye West, Q-Tip, and Lil Wayne, and sits at #2.The novelty group Sips is at #4 with their parody of Hall & Oates' "Rich Girl" called "Big Girl", and Of Mice & Men is making an impact in the UK as well: "You're Not Alone" debuts at #5 on the Viral Chart. Sweden – Top 50One of the few countries where "The Monster" is not #1 this week is Sweden, where Pitbull and Ke$ha finally took the top spot with "Timber". They had been at #2 for the last four weeks. Eminem falls a spot #1-#2.The rest of the Top 5 is unchanged: Avicii continues his dominance of the chart with appearances at #3 and #5 and "Royals" sits in between at #4.The only major change in the Swedish Top-10 was a big drop for Chris Brown and 2 Chainz. Their song "Talk Dirty" dropped two spots #7-#9 and about 75,000 streams, while One Direction jumped a spot #8-#7. Sweden – Viral HighlightsHenrik Dorsin is ruling the Viral Chart in Sweden again this week. The comedian is on top with his holiday-themed song 'Tomten är en kommunist", which, roughly, translates to "Santa is a Communist." Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.The new track from ceo, "Whorehouse" was a must-listen-and-share in Sweden this week, it debuts on the Viral Chart at #4, and "Belong" from Kevin Walker is at #5.Keep an eye on the new artist Seinabo Sey, a 23-year-old soul/pop singer from Stockholm. Her track "Younger" has been in the Top-10 on this chart and seems poised to break onto the Spotify-50 in Sweden (and, likely, around the world!) soon. It was produced by Magnus Lidehäll, who also produced Mapei's recent viral hit "Don't Wait".Kartellen's "Svarta duvor & vissna liljor", last week's most-viral track, falls to #12 this week. Featured Chart – TaiwanEminem is enjoying success in Taiwan as well (#3 this week), but that's nothing compared to what the Taiwanese pop-star Hebe (田馥甄) is achieving this week on the Taiwanese Spotify-50.Hebe used to be in the highly-popular mandopop group S.H.E. and has set off on a very successful solo career in the last few years. She put out a new album last week called My Love that definitely made an impact: tracks from the album are at #s 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9. In fact, make up a full 50% of the Top-20 this week!She's also making waves on the Viral Chart with a track at #4 this week. The most-viral song of the week in Taiwan, however, is Diddy – Dirty Money's "Coming Home", a track featuring Skylar Grey that came out in 2010 on their debut album Last Train To Paris. You never know what'll show up on the charts!

iSonic 86 Sail Sizes
I have a 2008 i86 which I use for GPS and I love this board. I use this board with RSR's 5.8 and 6.7. I'm looking at changing to RSS Mk III"s but the sizing has changed. I weigh between 75 and 80 kg(depends on beer consumption for that week) will the 7m be too big for this board, am I better off getting the 5.5 and 6.2 or the 6.2 and the 7 ? The RSS's should have more low end grunt then the RSR's
My other combo is a i122 and RSS II 8.4 and I am a bit worried that the gap between both combos will be too big if I dont get the 7m. My main goal is GPS speed, but dont want to be sitting on the beach either.
I have used my 7.5m KA Koncept on my i86 and it felt alright and didn't feel too big for the board so a 7m should be okay to use so you are probably better to get the 6.2m and 7m.
Hope this helps
Hi Haggar,
it´s the perfect combo out of my view. If I would go for a 2 board combo, I would decide for 86/122.
You can put the 7,0 on both boards depending on the wind. But no worries, the 86 plus the 7,0 works fine for GPS speed.
Thanks guys, I guess that the 6.2 for the i86 will be optimal sail compared to the 7, and that 7 will help to get me on the water : ) Need to go and find the $$$$ now .....

Znetix, council -- Year in review, part two
The Znetix/HMC scandal reached a crescendo in August when founder Kevin Lawrence was arrested and jailed on charges of criminal fraud.
A horde of buyers descended on a series of auctions at which tangible property bought with millions of investor dollars was sold off, netting well over a million dollars, most of which has gone to administering the estate.
Much of the islands political passion was seemingly devoted to the citys proposed shoreline regulations, which throngs packing the Bainbridge Planning Commission meetings denounced as unnecessary infringements on property rights.
And a week before Christmas, the mayor and city council ended the year pretty much as they began it, with each denouncing the other as devious and obstructionist. All sides vowed to do better next year.
The year in review, part 2:
July Longtime assistant Ken Crawford replaced Steve Rowley as superintendent of the Bainbridge Island School District. Crawfords aggressive efforts to reach out to the community earned him high marks in his first few months on the job.
The city imposed a moratorium on all subdivision applications after a Washington Supreme Court case called into question the citys requirement that subdividers set aside a portion of their land as designated open space. Home-builders immediately sued.
For the first time in almost 15 years, the Washington State Ferries planned to overhaul the Bainbridge-Seattle ferry schedule. Principal reason was that the new, larger boats couldnt load and unload fast enough to allow the existing schedule to be met.
The Bainbridge Island Historical Society began a fund-raising drive to pay for moving the museum from its Strawberry Hill Park location to a downtown site on Ericksen Avenue east of the Bainbridge Performing Arts Playhouse.
August HMC/Znetix founder Kevin Lawrence was arrested without incident at a friends home on Bayhill Road and charged with 64 counts of conspiracy, fraud and money-laundering in connection with the alleged sale of some $90 million in stock in Znetix-related companies. Three associates pleaded guilty to federal fraud counts, and agreed to cooperate with the prosecution.
After federal agents presented evidence suggesting that Lawrence was planning yet another stock promotion, he was denied bail and ordered held in federal confinement until his planned September 2003 trial.
A series of auctions on Bainbridge and Seattle disposed of HMC/Znetix material possessions, yielding over $1 million, most of which went to pay expenses of the court-appointed receiver. Mike and Alexa Rosenthal, who had been operating the Madison Avenue gym since April, bought the on-site equipment at auction.
The city bought a half-acre tract of beach land on Rockaway Beach for $585,000, the first purchase made under the $8 million open-space bond levy passed last year.
The Fort Ward Parade Grounds were dedicated as a city park in a ceremony that brought back a number of men and women who served on the island base during World War II intercepting and decoding Japanese messages.
September Bainbridge voters gave 70 percent approval to the park districts maintenance and operations levy, avoiding the shutdown that would have occurred Jan. 1 had the levy not passed on its second try.
Overflow crowds packed a series of Planning Commission meetings to protest proposed shoreline regulations, especially plans that could require trees to be planted along the shorelines, obstructing water views.
A new ferry schedule took effect that dropped one Bainbridge-Seattle run each day, saving fuel and crew-overtime money. The biggest difference fewer late-night sailings from Seattle.
Stephens House, a vocational facility for severely disabled youngsters, opened adjacent to Eagle Harbor Congregational Church. Participants make and sell doughnuts.
October Bainbridges only auto fatality of the year occurred on Blakely Avenue when a 59-year-old island man died in a head-on collision.
A spate of burglaries hit south-end waterfront residences. Burglars entered from the water side, sometimes while the residents were asleep at home.
A new state audit said the city was in compliance, and had corrected the serious problems cited in a previous audit.
The city bought the 12-acre Hall property stretching from Wing Point Road south to the water for $790,000, using open-space funds. The property has 600 feet of beachfront on Eagle Harbor.
November Voters stuck with incumbents, returning Democrat Jay Inslee to the U.S. Congress and Democrat Phil Rockefeller and Republican Beverly Woods to the state House of Representatives. At the same time, voters overwhelmingly rejected both state and county ballot measures that would have increased taxes.
Bainbridge Concerned Citizens, a group formed to spearhead opposition to the proposed shoreline regulations, said it intended to be a long-term player in island politics, and would field a slate of council candidates in 2003.
A consultant recommended moving the ferry systems maintenance yard from Eagle Harbor to a Seattle location, potentially freeing up the 10 acres of shoreland and offshore space for development. City officials and area legislators applauded the idea.
Saying the city administration is top-heavy, some city council members called for cutbacks in that area, including making the city administrators job part-time. The council also called for an executive session on personnel to which City Administrator Lynn Nordby was not invited. Sources confirmed that the meeting did involve Nordby, whose position ultimately was retained.
December A multi-agency task force began looking at pedestrian and traffic safety issues in the congested Bainbridge ferry-loading area. Among the suggestions begin ticketing jaywalking pedestrians.
The first round in a lawsuit involving the road-end at Fletcher Landing on the islands west side went to the city when a superior court judge ruled that the public had a right of access along the former road and across the tidelands to the water. The upland neighbors who had deeded rights to the 40-foot-wide strip said they would appeal.
The city council rejected any new city staff positions during budget deliberations, taking a no net increase approach.
A committee charged with studying parking in downtown Winslow recommended small steps, such as better enforcement of two-hour restrictions, parking along Madison Avenue and the development of small lots on the periphery of downtown.
The state ferry system recommended raising fares by only 5 percent, a cutback from earlier plans for larger hikes. Instead, the system plans to save some money through trimming costs, and raise money by offering additional products and services on board and at terminals.
The Serenity House group home for disabled adults on Pleasant Beach Road was threatened with closure as its long-time owner wants to sell, but no buyer willing to continue operating the home came forward. A multi-agency task force is studying the situation, hoping to find a way to keep the facility operating.
At the final council meeting of the year, several council members attempted to use an informal workshop to raise the issue of management problems at city hall. Mayor Darlene Kordonowy angrily responded that she had not been given time to discuss the issue, and gave the council low marks for working with the administration and staff during the year. Councilman Michael Pollock said he was affronted by the mayors rebuke, and said he had brought the issue to her several times in the past week.

DOT to stabilize rock face
The rocky face south of Deception Pass on Highway 20 will soon receive a makeover of sorts courtesy of the Washington State Department of Transportation.
Beginning Tuesday, Jan. 17, crews will remove loose rock and trees, then insert bolts into the rock overhanging the highway. The goal of the half-million dollar project is to stabilize the hillside and prevent any possible rockfalls onto Highway 20.
DOT spokesman Dave Chesson said the planned four-week project will affect traffic flow on Highway 20 through the area.
One lane of traffic will be closed from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. Sunday night through Friday morning. All lanes will remain open Friday and Saturday nights.
Crews will also close all lanes of traffic as they complete certain types of work.
When they are actually removing a large quantity of rock, thats when the road will be closed for up to 20 minutes, Chesson said.They want to be incredibly safe about it, not only for the people doing the work but for the traveling public.
Chesson said all lanes will be closed for up to five minutes at a time between 7 and 10 p.m., and for up to 20 minutes at a time after 10 p.m.
Wilder Construction, the company contracted for the restabilization project, was responsible for clearing and stabilizing the hillside following the deadly rockslide on I-90 late last year.
It takes a lot of skill to do this type of work, and special equipment, Chesson said. Wilder has done a lot of these jobs and they do a good job of it.
Chesson said geologists have been studying the area since late 2003, completing slope mapping and rock-fall hazard studies.
Theyve taken a lot of time, he said of the studies. The nice thing about doing it this way is that we have the advantage of having a detailed geological
assessment of the slope. They have a detailed plan of action. They know down to the last boulder and shrub what theyre doing.
The first step for crews will be preparing the rock for the stabilizing bolts. Chesson said workers will hang off the slope in harnesses and use pry bars to remove loose rock and tree roots that are fracturing the rock face. Once that work is completed, crews will drill into the rock to install the stabilizing bolts.
The bolts firm up the rock by connecting the unstable rock with a more stable part. When geologists conducted their studies, one thing they measured was how far into the hillside crews would have to drill in order to find stable rock.
Once crews drill into the stable rock, they fill the hole with epoxy and insert the stabilizing bar, explained DOT project engineer Dave Crisman. As the epoxy hardens, crews will place a plate over the stabilizing bar on the rock face and tighten a nut down to hold the whole thing in place.
Crisman said the bolts can often permanently stabilize the rock although he cautioned that earthquakes or natural water erosion can sometimes cause further instability, which then requires a new set of bolts.
And since the work is being done within the boundaries of Deception Pass State Park, the parks department has asked crews to make the stabilizing project aesthetic, as well as practical.
Some of these rock bolts were putting in, the parks department has asked us to recess them, Crisman said. Were supposed to grout over them with a similar color as the rock.
Crisman said the color-matched grout will make the bolts less obvious to drivers on Highway 20.
Work is scheduled to take about 18 days, and should be completed by mid-February, barring any inclement weather.
Chesson said the job was originally slated to begin in the fall, but the deadly I-90 rockslide and Chuckanut boulder removal projects took precedence.
Chesson said geologists have deemed the rock face on the north side of Deception Pass bridge to be safe. He said bolts were inserted to stabilize the rock about 10 years ago.

Space.com has an informative story and several photographs of a mock-up of the new Orion spaceship. I noticed that there was one of the proposed control panel for the spacecraft, which consists of several touchscreens and a keyboard.
I would hope that the actual spacecraft would have more than one keyboard on board for the purposes of redundancy.

I received this in the mail this past Saturday:
So when I read a report from Dan Riehl that ol' Gerry has slammed the door in his constituents' faces yet again, I laughed.
You see, this "open door" policy of Gerry's has been in place since almost day one, according to the Congressfrog's website—And from the looks of things since then, it seems to be a pretty loose policy.
If I didn't know any better, I'd almost say that he isn't reeeeally all that interested in hearing what you rabble-rousing taxpayers think...

Brain chemistry can be affected by diet, exercise, stress management, sleep, probiotics and medication
Good days. Bad days. We all have them. What if we could choose to have more good days?
Dr. Joyce Frye, of the Center for Integrative Medicine at The University of Maryland, says depression can be a good thing.
"It's an adaptive symptom," Frye says, "a very practical reaction to changing dysfunctional behaviors that aren't working for you," she notes.
Brain research has shown that mood is affected by brain chemicals called neurotransmitters. Among the more important ones are serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, melatonin, insulin and prostaglandins.
Chemicals that transmit nerve impulses. Among the more important ones:
Serotonin — affects mood and is also related to memory, sexual functioning, ability to learn and social behavior
Acetylcholine — important in the stimulation of muscle tissue
Dopamine — facilitates brain functions. Depletion of dopamine produces Parkinson's disease and may play a role in addiction
Epinephrine (adrenaline) and Norepinephrine — cause the "fight or flight" response to stress
Insulin — A secretion of the pancreas that stimulates cells to absorb glucose
Source: Answers.com, Stedman's Online Medical Dictionary
Once she explores underlying reasons for depression, Frye then looks at diet, often helping people get off high glycemic foods (those that break down into simple sugars more quickly) and contribute to depression. "People get on the sugar roller coaster that keeps them wanting more of those things that then cause them to crash.
Next she suggests exercise, which "increases serotonin levels and also helps to give you a sense of control," she says. Often, she finds homeopathy helpful with her patients, using an infinitesimally small amount of a substance to trigger a healing reaction in the body.
"Natural is what we prefer to do first," says Dr. Eric Born, of Parchment Family Practice, in Parchment, Mich., who regularly relies on a urine test that helps determine different levels of seven different brain chemicals before he prescribes a treatment for depression. "This is why people are in trouble with supplements," Born says, "Because the supplement they are taking isn't addressing their deficiency."
"Serotonin would be considered the master neurotransmitter," Born says, although six others factor in, too. Many approaches to depression treat serotonin imbalance. Medicines known as Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors, which include Paxil, Effexor, Prozac, Lexapro, Luvox and Celexa, work to regulate serotonin, which affects mood and is also related to memory, sexual functioning, ability to learn and social behavior. With depression, sometimes a person's body does not manufacture enough serotonin, or the brain cannot keep the chemical inside receptor sites long enough, or it doesn't use it effectively.
"A good analogy, is that you have this bucket of serotonin in your brain, the SSRI's work to plug the holes in the bucket," says Born, and "most supplements we use to fill the bucket."
"Serotonin is synthesized in the cells of the gastrointestinal tract, and that's where 90 percent of it is produced," says Jane Oelke, a naturopath and doctor of homeopathy from Borgess Integrative Medicine in Kalamazoo, who also tests neurotransmitter levels. "If the digestive tract isn't working, that is why a lot of medicines don't work."
Doctors taking a natural approach to depression may first remove impediments to a healthy gut: allergens, yeasts, parasites, toxins or unhealthy bacteria. Next, they focus on better digestion using digestive enzymes.
Third, the patient may use probiotic supplements to incorporate healthy bacteria in the gut. Among the most important, Born says, are Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobactrium lactis.
Finally, a doctor may recommend appropriate nutrients (determined by each patient's need) to repair damage done to the intestinal tract.
Born suggests adequate sleep for those who want to improve neurotransmitter production, because he says the body develops serotonin during sleep. Good stress management, getting enough sunshine and a healthy diet may also help balance brain chemistry.
"People who miss meals, that lowers their serotonin, so it's not good to miss meals," says Oelke.
Both Born and Oelke may suggest one or more natural supplements such as 5-HTP, St. John's Wort, SAM-E, omega oils, or B vitamins such as niacin, B-6, folic acid and B-12 to address chemical imbalances, but they caution that people have different needs and supplements aren't regulated, so patients should work with a health professional. Herbs such as St. John's Wort often interact with other medications people may be taking, so it is crucial to take this into account.
According to the National Institutes of Health:
- About 20.9 million American adults, or 9.5 percent of the population, have mood disorders, which include major depressive disorder; dysthymic disorder (a chronic, mild depression); and bipolar disorder (also called manic depression).
- Major depressive disorder is, by itself, the leading cause of disability among Americans age 15 to 44.

Alum's Invention in the Running for National Contest
DuBois – During her days at Penn State DuBois from 1992 through 1994, Nicole Kovalyak had her sights set on a career in nursing. She never imagined that she would also become an inventor. However, with patents filed on inventions intended to make premature babies more comfortable, and the chance to win a quarter of a million dollars in a contest sponsored by Pepsi, an inventor is exactly what Kovalyak has become. She's now in the running in Pepsi's Refresh Everything competition that awards grants for great ideas or inventions in a number of areas, including healthcare. The public chooses the winners through online voting, and two top prize $250,000 grants are awarded each month, to be used to start a business or follow through on the applicant's idea.
Kovalyak's Nurture Rest pillow is the result of her experience as a neonatal intensive care nurse. After attending Penn State DuBois, she went on to earn a nursing degree from Duquesne University, and has spent the last nine years working with premature babies as a Registered Nurse at DuBois Regional Medical Center (DRMC).
"Technology in medicine has come so far, but not much has been done to make preemies comfortable," Kovalyak said. "When they're comfortable they burn less calories, feedings are better, and they sleep more. So, they grow, get stronger, and go home faster."
Through research and her own experience, Kovalyak determined that babies are most comfortable and get the most rest when they're held by their mother. For preemies though, the medical equipment they must be connected to does not allow their mother to hold them. So, she set out to design and construct the Nurture Rest, which simulates the mother's chest.
"Babies naturally want to lie on their bellies, and they can't get comfortable on a flat bed," Kovalyak explained. On the Nurture Rest, they are willing to reposition, then they naturally start to suck as if they're feeding, and they go right to sleep."
She continued, "This gets them as comfortable as possible, so they eat and rest better, and ultimately it reduces their time in the hospital."
Kovalyak said they've used the Nurture Rest in the neonatal unit at DRMC for more than two years now, but the other nurses only recently found out that the pillows were her invention. "I was afraid I wouldn't get real feedback if my coworkers knew the pillows were my idea, and I really wanted to know what the nurses thought of them," she said.
The real feedback she got was positive, and full of praise. Other nurses, and even parents of the premature babies cared for at DRMC have fully embraced Kovalyak's invention. She said any criticism she did hear was used to make improvements or changes to the Nurture Rest.
Kovalyak hopes to start a business that will produce her pillows for hospitals all over the country, or around the world. The Pepsi Refresh Everything competition would give that effort an enormous boost.
"I just hope I can get as many votes as possible to get this off the ground. I really think my idea can help a lot of families by helping their babies get healthier faster," Kovalyak said.
To vote for the Nurture Rest, visit http://www.refresheverything.com/ Votes must be cast before the end of April.

Whether you're an agnostic, atheist or religious person the Penn State situation is the personification of immorality and wrong. The iconic images of a red horned demon or disfigured being is nothing more than an entertainment concept and artistic representation of what evil is throughout time. The real evil beings in our lives look just like us no matter what station of life you are in. Disguise is the best subversion.
I do realize that the concept of evil is a religious idea and that it is actually distilled down to what is good and bad or right and wrong. But bad deeds can reach unimaginable heights, as well as good deeds, know no particular type of clothing fashion, color of skin or condition of the physical body.

or colleges of theology. I know the basic answer from an atheistic perspective.
In Genesis when God said "Let there be light." why did he not also instill the knowledge of the light blub in Adam? He is, after all, God.
Why did it take mankind until just 110 years ago to come up with the concept? Evolution of the mind maybe?
When a person is healed it always seems to be of a sickness or raised from the dead. Why do you never hear of an amputee having their limbs grow back? Wouldn't that be on YouTube with a million or so hits if a televangelist performed this act?
I realize these questions seem rhetorical but my question is, are these types of logical ideas ever discussed when ministers and priests are educated.

The BOA Federal reserve transfer of funds is finally exposing the common practice of obfuscating the manipulation of pools of money. The majority of us have no idea what goes on in the conference rooms and boardrooms of financial institutions. You can go to a university and get you degree in economics and accounting with honors. But you will never have a true concept of what happens in the real world until you are in that conference room. It compares to a soldier training to kill but will never understand what the reality is until he actually kills someone. I know that is an extreme but what is happening is extreme.
When your 401K or any other investment loses money it does not disappear. Just like matter takes another form when it is burned or destroyed the flow of finances takes another form. That $25,000 that you lost on your 401K is actually transferred into someone else's pocket.
If you borrow money to get your business going and don't pay it back the lender can repossess. They may not receive full value but the entity controlling them almost always does. It's call playing the odds, dealing in bulk and buying low. Finance is a cynical practice and the possibility of negative human impact is not considered unless it touches the bottom line.
These practices are not illegal but need to be controlled to prevent negative impacts to the average person that trust these financial institutions that handle their money. That is why regulation is needed and important. Some people have gamed the system and need to go to jail.
My own opinion is that the current regulations in place need to be aggressively enforced and Glass Steagall needs to be brought back and even enhanced. The FDIC has become the lapdog of the mega banks and a tool to make sure the big banks don't lose money.
Moving your money to a credit union is good until money becomes worthless.
"Before World War I Germany was a prosperous country, with a gold-backed currency, expanding industry, and world leadership in optics, chemicals, and machinery. The German Mark, the British shilling, the French franc, and the Italian lira all had about equal value, and all were exchanged four or five to the dollar. That was in 1914. In 1923, at the most fevered moment of the German hyperinflation, the exchange rate between the dollar and the Mark was one trillion Marks to one dollar, and a wheelbarrow full of money would not even buy a newspaper. Most Germans were taken by surprise by the financial tornado." Copyright © 1981 by George J. W. Goodman. All rights reserved. (Better known as Adam Smith.)

The OWS movement is making people in power nervous. History has presented itself with another opportunity for the controlling financial powers in the world to attack a country and steal the headlines from the peoples movement and making money for war contractors.
If we were to attack Iran there would be more heat from the hawks and war mongers because the spin would be, 'We need to come together and not protest our country or it's ecomony while or soldiers are in harms way.'
I think the plot was real but the timing was calculated to arrest and indict the perpetrators. Something seems cockeyed with the way the plot was carried out and the time line of the decision to arrest.
Ahmadinejad is actually using his own propaganda by saying it is a 'fairy tale' and a 'diversion from the American protests'.
I do not believe it is a child's tale or fairy tale but it is an opportunity for those in power that are on the edge about attacking Iran to jump over that edge.
Hope I'm wrong.

People that do not know or understand what the demonstrations are about are part of the problem. It's called denial.
It's either denial or they know what it is about and won't admit it because they are the 1%.
Statement of Occupy Wall Street as read by KO on Current TV.
"As we gather together in solidarity to express a feeling of mass injustice we must not lose sight of what brought us together. We write so that all people who feel wronged by the corporate forces of the world can know that we are your allies. As one people, united, we acknowledge the reality that the future of the human race requires the cooperation of its members. That our system must protect our rights, and upon corruption of that system, it is up to the individuals to protect their own rights, and those of their neighbors. That a democratic government derives its just power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people, and the Earth, and that no true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic power.
We come to you at a time when corporations -- which place profit over people, self-interest over justice, and oppression over equality -- run our governments. We have peaceably assembled here as is our right to let these facts be known.
They have taken our houses through an illegal foreclosure process, despite not having the original mortgage.
They have taken bailouts from taxpayers with impunity, and continue to give executives exorbitant bonuses.
They have perpetuated inequality and discrimination in workplaces based on age, the color of one's skin, sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation.
They have poisoned the food supply through negligence, and undermined the farming system through monopolization.
They have profited off the torture, confinement, and cruel treatment of countless animals, and actively hide these practices.
They have continuously sought to strip employees of the right to negotiate for better pay and safer working conditions.
They have held students hostage with tens of thousands of dollars of debt on education, which is, itself, a human right.
They have consistently outsourced labor and used that outsourcing as leverage to cut worker's health care and pay.
They have influenced the courts to achieve the same rights as people with none of the culpability or responsibility.
They have spent millions of dollars on legal teams, but look for ways to get them out of contracts in regards to health insurance.
They have sold our privacy as a commodity.
They have used the military and police force to prevent freedom of the press.
They have deliberately declined to recall faulty products, endangering lives in pursuit of profit.
They determine economic policy despite the catastrophic failures their policies have produced and continue to produce.
They have donated large sums of money to politicians, who are responsible for regulating them.
They continue to block alternate forms of energy to keep us dependent on oil.
They continue to block generic forms of medicine that could save people's lives, or provide relief in order to protect investments that have
already turned a substantial profit.
They have purposely covered up oil spills, accidents, faulty bookkeeping, and inactive ingredients in pursuit of profit.
They purposefully kept people misinformed and fearful through their control of the media.
They have accepted private contracts to murder prisoners, even when presented with serious doubts about their guilt.
They have perpetuated colonialism at home and abroad.
They have participated in the torture and murder of innocent civilians overseas.
They continue to create weapons of mass destruction in order to receive government contracts.
To the people of the world,
We, the New York City general assembly occupying Wall Street in Liberty Square, urge you to assert your power.
Exercise your right to peaceably assemble, occupy public space, create a process to address the problems we face, and generate solutions accessible to everyone.
To all communities that take action and form groups in the spirit of direct democracy, we offer support, documentation, and all of the resources at our disposal.
Join us and make your voices heard."

Here are two examples I have noticed in the last 24 hours.
1.) I saw Kasich, the 'man boy' governor of Ohio, on the morning news spouting the anti collective bargaining propaganda for government workers. His line was this. I'm paraphrasing. 'Why should government workers be guaranteed a pension and retirement when people in the private sector have to pay for their own?' Well, how about your guaranteed pension Mr. Kasich? You'll just work a few years and you're set for life. You do damage to your underlings then retire to the golden golf golden in the sky. Also, there are people in the private sector that not have only guaranteed pensions but golden parachutes.
2.) I happened across an ACLJ propaganda piece on TV yesterday. They right wing answer to the ACLU. Jay Sekulow, it's illustrious leader, was interviewing so-called experts on Sharia law. Of course they were all saying the US is in danger of being taken over by Islamic Sharia law. The thing that was obvious, that I don't think Kool Aid drinking wing nuts understand, is that they were making an excellent case for separation of church and state. I always hear these people say that God is being removed from American society yet they argue against religious law being forced on the people and government.
I see 'little' hypocrisies all the time on both sides of the political spectrum. It seems obviously enormous hypocrisies are always on the right yet I rarely see a reporter or interviewer challenge the big ones.

I think the old saying 'strike while the iron is hot' is very appropriate in this instance. I know this is not something new but it has opened a door to correctly frame the "corporations are people" debate.
Romney's rhetorical reply to the obviously upset lady by saying, "Who do you think corporations are? People." This is a twisted spin on the corporattions are individuals concept. What Mitt has admitted is that people who work for corporations have two individual rights. One as the employee or owner of a corporation and one as a private citizen of the United States. No where in the Constitution does it say anyone has two individual rights. That would mean a double right to free speech or privacy or the right to bear arms along with all other individual rights. If that were true I would have voted against George W. Bush twice.
That is the absurdity of the Supreme Court ruling that I have not heard addressed by anyone. It has been addressed by Democratic politicians since the ruling but not in a way that changes the debate to become an opportunity for politicians and pundits to truly attack the concept.
I hope it is not another missed opportunity.

I sincerely doubt a rich right wing movie actor like him has actually taken out or needs a reverse mortgage. He actually says, "Take it from me..." As if he knows from personal experience a reverse mortgage is the thing to do. I know some of you may know someone who has done this or maybe you have done this yourself. It's not something one should do lightly. If someone needs a check every month because they have little income it could be an option.
Here's the deal. It's an annuity. It's the same thing as you taking your savings, giving it to a financial institution or insurance company and they give you a check based on the amount you give them divided by the average lifespan. $50,000 will get you about $300.00 a month. If you have an expensive house that is paid for, say $500,000, you would get quiet a lot. The thing is they are betting you will die before the money runs out. They also make interest.
If you have an expensive house that's paid for you're rich already.
People who do this give up control of their property and equity. In this economy it's a the wrong thing to do.
"A reverse mortgage should be the last option, not the first, when all else has been exhausted. If you're talking about a family with younger members of means, it is generally better to have them financially help out aging relative than to have a broker or salesperson take advantage of the senior with a reverse mortgage."

Standard and Poors had to answer questions in July about the possible downgrading of the U.S. government's credit rating if Congress and President Obama did not make progress in the current debt ceiling and budget deficit reduction debate. So our President is taken to the woodshed by an organization that totally supports right wingnut corporate fascists? S&P, along with all of the other corporate fascist organizations like ALEC, is apparently the arbiter of knighthood. Money is power.
"With offices in 23 countries and a history that dates back more than 150 years, Standard & Poor's is known to investors worldwide as a leader of financial- market intelligence."
So that means investors are less intelligent than S&P and S&P leads the world and controls it's economy.
Gee! Thanks!

Health insurance companies are nothing more than banks. They do NOT provide health care. They handle money. Their agents are also deeply involved in financial corporations. Yes, I mean insurance agents that sell insurance. They sell annuities which are nothing more than bets that use people's life savings to fund. They are betting that people will die before the money they used to buy the annuity runs out. Death equals profit. The financial institutions also buy stocks that fund the war machine. Death equals profit.
We do not need to "Drive down the cost of health insurance." We need to end he insurance corporations involvement in health care.
That is the current foundation of politics and world society today. If this course is not changed soon, we will witness world wide corporate fascism within our lifetimes. Exploding oil platforms, nuclear power plants built on earthquake faults and near oceans, levees built on sand in Texas and inadequately in Mississippi will pale in comparison. That is currently and will continue to be our future if nothing changes.

having to sacrifice a golf membership and a pedicure so they can balance their personal budget in this economy. He used that as a comparison to what the government has to do. How about granddad and grandma having to to sacrifice the needed medicine, food and shelter because rich SOB's won't pay their taxes and because Halliburton is more important than the average citizen.
He also said we need to fund the military that is fighting everyday to protect our freedoms. The military has not fought to protect
our freedom since World War II. All wars and conflicts since then have been testosterone filled political wastes of lives and money.
9/11 did not happen because "They hate our freedom." it was retaliation to make us get out of their lives because we have a history of interfering in other countries because we want their trade and to sell them armaments. All I ever hear from most non American citizens is that they want our freedoms. They want a democracy and representative government like ours. Look at the middle east and Africa right now. People in those countries
are dying for freedom.
I am not disrespecting the military. I think our military is being used by people that have a blood lust for anyone that looks different and doesn't want a picket fence and mom's apple pie.

Are we now forgetting history and destined to repeat it.
George Santayana, best known today for his remark that "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it"
Anderson Cooper dismissed Congressman Steve Cohen's statement outright. Some on DU poo poo the comparison.
I'm not saying death camps are in the future but consider who is dying because they can't get health care.
Consider who is dying and injured because they hate the government and fly airplanes into buildings.
Will it the repeated lie 'concept' never apply again? Wasn't there a terrorist bomb found in Spokane, Washington Monday?
Wasn't there a right wing terrorist on his way to kill people in the Tides organization that was a Glenn Beck lover?
Are we now saying lies are NOT being repeated?
Lies are being repeated and repeated and repeated on 'the network I will not mention' and by Limbaugh, Savage and others of their ilk.
Are we living in a fantasy world or did these things happen and will they continue to happen?
As far as I'm concerned Congressman Steve Cohen is absolutely right. It's time to wake the hell up and stop doing the Orwellian shuffle
saying yes means no and no means yes.
To quote Jesus, "Let your 'Yes' mean 'Yes,' and your 'No' mean 'No.' Anything more is from the evil one."
Even if you don't believe in Christ his sayings ring true. Democrats are Matthew Matthew 25:31-46 Republicans are Leviticus.

I am shocked at the public greed and selfishness demonstrated by most Republicans regarding the health care law decision, but especially by U.S. Rep. Dan Benishek, who made the majority of his life's income from the hard-earned money of his patients.
Now, he can turn around and kick them in the teeth, by calling the favorable opinion for a plan that benefits them, "devastating."
Yes, devastating for all the investors used to benefitting from all the various rip-off scams, reaping profits for their portfolios, but not for the patients, who have been thrown out of insurance companies because of pre-existing conditions, or denied payment for other cockamamie reasons.
We are already expecting a refund from insurance companies, which did not pay out the required percentage of their "haul" to legitimate claims. This money would have been going into the profits for the investors' portfolios.
These kinds of fraud will not be happening so easily anymore. Bush's "haves" and "have-mores" never seem to have enough.
I did not expect Dr. Benishek to fall into the category of just selfishly "minding" the orders of John Boehner and the other Republican obstructionists for their selfish reasons.
Congress-people need to be thinking Americans, not partisan puppets.
Doctors, after all, take an oath to "Do No Harm" to patients, including emotional and financial harm, as the health care industry has been doing for years to so many families with chronic or major health problems.
Obviously, Dr. Benishek's medical oath ended when he retired from practice.
How very sad and shameful.

Getting started Equipment you will need: baking sheet, cutting board/chef's knife, large bowl, spoon, small bowl, whisk, large skillet Preheat oven to 425° Do right away when you get home: Action steps 1 & 2
2 ears of corn
2 pounds fingerling or red potatoes
1 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh tarragon
2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp. hot sauce, such as Tabasco
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 1/2 Tbsp. olive oil
3/4 cup red onion
3/4 cup zucchini
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1. Remove corn kernels from cobs (see tips). Cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Place corn and potatoes on baking sheet. Drizzle with oil; toss to coat. Bake for 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Set aside in a large bowl.
2. Mix first 6 ingredients in small bowl. Add oil and stir with whisk. Drizzle potato and corn mixture (from action step 1) with dressing; toss to coat.
3. Slice onion into thin vertical strips. Dice zucchini. Chop tomatoes in half.
Cooking spray
4. Heat large skillet over medium heat. Coat pan with spray. Add onion and zucchini to pan and cook for 4 minutes until lightly brown. Stir occasionally. Add zucchini mixture and tomatoes to potato mixture. Toss to combine.
Suggested Side Items: Grilled chicken and fresh fruit
Tips: This potato salad can be served at room temperature just after it's tossed together or chilled ahead of time in the refrigerator. To remove corn kernels from the cob, first remove the husk and hairy threads. Hold the stem end of the ear of corn and rest the tip of the ear on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut off corn kernels and let them fall onto the cutting board. Continue cutting around the ear to remove all kernels. Fingerling potatoes have an oblong, finger-like shape and are naturally smaller than conventional potatoes. To add more color to this salad, choose a combination of red, purple, and brown skinned potatoes. If fingerling potatoes are not available at your local farmers' market or grocery store, you can use red potatoes instead.

Dropping your child off on the first day of kindergarten can be daunting, but today Suzanne Flynn arrived with more than the usual set of parental concerns.
She'd done her research on swine flu and the virus' expected resurgence. She'd worked with her family to encourage frequent hand washing and covering their mouths when they sneeze or cough. But as she and 5-year-old Colin made their way to the door of his Manhattan school, she said there was little more she could do.
"I can't do anything about it, other than keep our hands clean," Flynn said. "You have so many students coming to every school, there's only so much even the schools really can do."
New York City officials are determined to do some things, however, starting with sending a letter home Wednesday with students in the nation's largest school district telling parents how they can protect their kids from swine flu.
The letter, from city Schools Chancellor Joel Klein and Health Commissioner Thomas Farley, urges parents to teach their children healthy habits, including coughing into tissues or sleeves and frequently washing their hands. It advises parents to keep their children home if they get sick.
"The really big thing is if their child is sick, please keep them home," said Dr. Isaac Weisfuse, the city's flu coordinator. "We want to make sure that every parent gets that message clearly."
Weisfuse headed a panel of city officials who met over the summer to determine the finer points of the city's swine flu policy. The city Health Department estimates that as many as 1 million New Yorkers were sickened by the illness last spring, and St. Francis Preparatory School in Queens was among the first U.S. epicenters of the virus.
But in front of PS 33 in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood, several parents seemed to think all the worrying was much ado about nothing.
"I think they got everything under control," said Juan Lopez as he ushered 5-year-old Hailey into the school building.
Indeed, city officials stress that while more people may catch the virus this winter, there is nothing to suggest it will be more deadly. Regular seasonal influenza usually has a similar or higher mortality rate.
Going into the school year, officials are focused on reducing the spread of the flu.
Today's letter is available in ten different languages, and also tells parents they can get their children immunized when the swine flu vaccine becomes available.
The Health Department expects to receive enough vaccine to immunize 600,000 people in mid-October, followed by enough vaccine for 250,000 each week following. The city plans to offer in-school vaccinations at public and private elementary schools and vaccinations for older students at centers around the city.
Before the first week of school is over, parents will receive a second take-home printout -- this one a list of frequently asked questions about the flu. Posters encouraging healthy habits will be posted on school walls. Bathrooms have been checked to ensure they are fully stocked with soap and paper towels.
Parents like Warren Davis are hungry for the information. Davis arrived at P.S. 33 today with his daughters, ages 4 and 3. In their tiny backpacks, he'd packed a supply of anti-bacterial wipes -- and he's been teaching the girls how to use them.
"My fear is that anybody can catch it. ... How do you protect yourself?" he said.
Meanwhile, Flynn wishes her son's school would take extra steps: hand sanitizer outside every classroom and health assemblies to educate students about the virus. But most of all, she wants the illness contained quickly if and when it does emerge.
"I just hope teachers really do pay attention to kids who show early signs of symptoms and don't take it too lightly," she said.

A NY Times blog explains how Europe is divided geographically into different family types:
The research considered family types based on two criteria. One, the relationship between parents and children. If children flee the nest at an early age, the family type can be said to be "liberal." If they stay at home and under the authority of their parents long into adulthood, even after having married themselves, the relationship can be classified as "authoritarian." Second criterion: the relationship among siblings. If they are treated equally (in inheritance law, for example), the relationship is classified as "equal," but if one child is favored (the firstborn son, say), the relationship is "unequal."Steve Sailer adds:
Combining the criteria results in five distinct family types:
* The "absolute nuclear" family type is both liberal and unequal. Children are totally emancipated, forming independent families of their own. The inheritance usually goes to one child, often a son.
* The "egalitarian nuclear" family type is both liberal and equal. Children are as emancipated and independent as in the previous type, but equal division of the inheritance encourages stronger parent-children relations before the passing of the parents.
* The "stem" family type is both authoritarian and unequal. Several generations live under one roof, with one child marrying to continue the line. The other children remain unmarried at home, or leave to get married.
* The "incomplete stem" family is as above, but with slightly more equal inheritance rules — an intermediate with the last family type.
* The "communitarian" family is both authoritarian and equal. All sons can marry and bring their wives into the ancestral home. The family inheritance is divided equitably among all children.
This Anglo-Saxon absolute nuclear family structure is conducive to the highest levels of personal freedom and individualism. But, it requires a lot of land and wealth to expect your sons to be able to afford houses of their own when they find their brides. The Anglo-Saxon nuclear family model where young adults are not under the thumbs of their parents or grandparents or aunt's husband thrives, as Benjamin Franklin pointed out, in underpopulated places with cheap land and high wages, but, as Franklin also noted in the 1750s, it gets undermined by high rates of immigration, which drive up land costs and lower wages. Those who follow the liberty-loving Anglo-Saxon model tend to get outcompeted by groups willing to pile an extended family into one house, as is happening across many of the metropolises of America today.If America has a lot of immigrants with different family types, then they are less likely to acquire American values of personal freedom and individualism.
