Removing Barriers to Sport & Community
Phoenix's goal is to expand people's sober community while creating a safe environment.
People choosing to live a sober lifestyle often find it necessary to make changes to many aspects of their lives, including their socials circles, in order to maintain sobriety. Abrupt changes in lifestyle can lead to loss of support networks, and often cause people to become isolated. Sober people need to make new friends and discover new hobbies and interests, which can be difficult without the social lubricant of drugs or alcohol. Recognizing this challenge, PM makes every effort to remove barriers to getting involved with our sober community. We host daily, free events where the only requirement is to be sober. We are very welcoming to new members and encourage our regular members to get to know the new folks. In addition to offering our events at no charge, we also provide all necessary gear (the equipment required for the disciplines we teach is often very expensive and can deter people from taking up various sports, so PM removes these financial barriers to participation). Though we do not charge for membership, we do ask members to sign a Team Member Agreement. Some of the topics covered in this document include: a 48 hour sobriety policy, no tobacco use at PM events, appropriate behavior among team members, appropriate speech, public records checks, etc. (For more information, click on the "Join Phoenix" tab).
Teach the skills and techniques necessary to enjoy our disciplines on your own and build a new identity as a sober athlete in place of a drug addict or alcoholic
PM employs highly trained and skilled instructors who can relate to members on a shared commitment to sobriety and recovery. We host all levels of events ranging in difficulty from beginner to expert. We plan events and lead clinics that increase difficulty in succession in an effort to increase ability and proficiency of those who choose to participate. Our members also have access to discounts and pro deals to make it easier to acquire their own gear should they advance to a point where they no longer want to use "loaner" gear (which of course will always remain available). PM participant find partners of similar ability to enjoy the sport of their choice. We help people to see that there is much more to life than the short-lived thrills or emotional numbness offered by a pill or a bottle.
Ambassador Athlete Program
Phoenix Multisport Ambassador Athletes represent our organization in various disciplines. This program is less about finishing at the top and more about making dreams come true and spreading the mission of Phoenix Multisport. Instead of seeing themselves as alcoholics or addicts, our Ambassadors form new positive identities through participation in sober activity, service work for our organization and commitment to helping others our community to discover their own goals and interests. Ambassador Athletes must adhere to the Team Member Agreement, have a strong presence as a team member and volunteer, be humble, generous, dedicated, responsible, and willing to speak publicly about sobriety and to display a passion for PM's mission. PM provides our athletes with a race kit, one race entry per season up to $100(depending on level of commitment), employee pricing on PM merchandise, opportunities for subsidized trips when applicable and an invitation to a quarterly lunch with PM's Director of Operations.
Apprentice Instructor Program
Our goal for members to help them replace their identities as alcoholics and addicts with that of sober athletes and mentors. Because we're a peer-based organization, our employees are often asked how we became instructors at PM, and we're happy to share: all of us started out as team members, became involved with the organization, began volunteering and improving our skills, and eventually were brought on as employees. Every instructor at PM has been hired through this process, and there isn't a more fitting job for someone who is sober and living an active lifestyle. We encourage members to get started down this potential career path, and in some cases, we help individuals work toward certifications necessary to become PM instructors. Potential Apprentice Instructors display the following characteristics: adherence to the Team Member Agreement, a frequent presence as a team member and volunteer, humility, altruism, empathy, dedication, level-headedness, responsibility, and a desire to share their sober experiences and passion for PM's mission with others. PM provides our apprentice instructors with employee pricing on PM merchandise, opportunities for subsidized trips, access to certain applicable pro deals and an invitation to a quarterly lunch with PM's Director of Operations.
Volunteer Programs & Opportunities
The Volunteer Program is an essential part of all PM operations. In order to provide daily events free of charge and to continue our expansion in Colorado and the rest of the country, we need a lot of help. PM is funded entirely through grants and individual donations, and volunteering is an extension of this willingness to give. We believe that volunteering and being of service to others is beneficial in working toward the formation of a positive sober identity. Volunteer opportunities are plentiful at PM and might include any of the following: seconding an instructor at active event, helping put together mailings to be sent out, working at an aid station for a race, supporting staff during a multisport trip, prepping for the opening of a new building, cleaning and organizing PM gear, spreading the mission of PM at an outreach event… the list goes on.
Through volunteering, Phoenix members further strengthen not only their own recovery but the recovery of hundreds of others. Volunteerism is highly encouraged both for Phoenix and other community organizations.

"The whole thing is about being near the water and the energy this wonderful setting provides," the Lakeshore Yoga Center's Barb Carlson said. "It's glorious.
"We've witnessed great water spouts and the intensity of an imminent thunderstorm reaching shore. We feel the breeze, hear the sound of the lapping waves and children's laughter in the background.
"People associate the beach with relaxation and the communal atmosphere makes this an ideal setting," she said.Carlson leads the group, which can range from 15 to 35 participants, in weekly summer beach yoga sessions at Grand Haven's City Beach.
They practice Hatha yoga, which is the most common style used in the West.
"It's a balance of yin and yang, left and right."
She also said, although she doesn't want to discourage beginners, yoga on the beach's uneven sand is a bit more challenging than on a solid floor.
"You're less steady in the sand, and the yoga might not feel or seem as pretty or graceful as it does otherwise," she said. "It's a bit more awkward. The sand is good for standing poses, but not for many down poses that are usually associated with gentler forms of yoga practice. You really have to dig a good imprint and be mindful of your joints and ankles."
This is the seventh summer Lakeshore Yoga has presented its beach yoga sessions. It attracts locals as well as people from around the state and country. As it has become more established over time, tourists who visit the area regularly have begun to attend the classes, Carlson said.
"The beach seems to make yoga more accessible and appealing to people who might be nervous about a more formal class setting," she said. "People don't have to sign up, and it's easy, because people can just show up with their mat or beach towel and pay the $5 walk-in fee."
Carlson has practiced yoga since 1998 and became an instructor in 2001. She is a two-time cancer survivor who said yoga played a vital part in her journey of healing.
"It brought me a deeper understanding of the human body and helped me in my rehabilitation. It keeps one centered during a time of pain and illness," she said.
Local chiropractor Dan Gleason, who has practiced yoga for about five years, attends the beach yoga sessions nearly every week. "I've begun to call myself a 'yoga-vangelist,' and recommend it to my friends and patients," he said.
"In the summer, it's a great way to be outside and get the benefits of yoga. You get your cake and eat it, too -- the sky, the sounds, the sights. You might not be as internally focused on the beach, but the scene has attributes not found in an indoor class.
"I find that, outdoors, my mind doesn't seem to wander so much and it's easier to stay in the moment," Gleason said.
Carlson said each beach yoga session concludes with everyone peacefully approaching the shore and standing in what is called the tree pose.
"We stand side by side, like a chorus of trees lining the beach against the darkening sky."

There was a strange feeling visiting the Cavs locker room after their Game 5 loss to Washington.
NBA players don't bang their lockers or fret after losses because usually there's another game on another day. That's the case in this series as the Cavs will visit the Wizards in Game 6 on
Friday. But the locker room had a different identity this time.
The Cavs knew they let this one slip through their fingers. LeBron James sat in front of his locker staring at the Boston Celtics/Atlanta Hawks game. Often after games, wins or losses, James will engage in conversation with several teammates. For at least several minutes, James was in deep thought. He was probably wondering how they blew a five-point lead
with 1:47 left.
This is how. It was the Cavs' version of their greatest misses. First, James missed a wild 3-pointer and Daniel Gibson followed with another 3-point miss. Joe Smith missed a short jumper and Zydrunas Ilgauskas missed a tip shot. Instead of going strong to the hole or at least forcing the officials to call a foul, the Cavs settled for the pretty outside shots.
The Wizards finished the Cavs' off. Maybe James' reflection will mean a change if the Cavs fall into a similar position in the near future.

Student Success Story
Digital Discourse
AU's Department of Philosophy is known for its unconventional research and teaching. In spring 2008, then-undergraduate Chip Corbett decided it was time for the department to showcase them.
That June he founded Pharmakon, an online academic journal published annually through the College of Arts and Sciences. The journal features scholarly essays written by undergraduate and graduate students that reflect the department's most distinctive characteristics.
One of these is the emphasis on what is known in the discipline as "continental" tradition. Unlike analytic philosophy, which focuses on logically analyzing both concepts and the language used to express them, continental philosophy generally purports that truth is a term defined in relation to specific cultures and historical periods.
Because the majority of philosophy departments in this country's universities adhere to an analytic approach, Corbett says, most American philosophy journals do, too. "I wanted Pharmakon to provide a space where students of continental philosophy could publish their work, too," he says.
The journal also showcases essays inspired by the student internships that are integral to the AU philosophy experience. "Internships provide opportunities to put philosophy to work," says Ellen Feder, professor and acting chair and internship advisor. "Students see how the tools of philosophical analysis can be of practical use for exposing problems—the operation of inequality, say, or moral failures as they occur on the ground."
Students have interned at various nonprofit and governmental organizations in the Washington area, including Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, the Phillips Collection, and the National Academy of Sciences.
Now that he has moved on to the master's program, Corbett has handed over Pharmakon to AU's chapter of Phi Sigma Tau, the national philosophy honors society. Says Corbett: "I'm glad I'll be around another two years to watch it continue to grow."

Life from Death
Transplant coordinator touches families in times of sorrow
Story by MEG NUGENT / Photos by ARISTIDE ECONOMOPOULOS
Stephanie Falbo has built a career in the company of people facing their most terrible moments.
She's seen them punch walls with rage, get into fist fights, wail in despair and sink quietly to the floor, overwhelmed by sadness.
When she hears news of an accident or a house fire, she knows she may find herself at a hospital a few hours later, reaching out to distraught relatives of the victim.
"I'm not only hearing it on television, I'm now going to experience it," Falbo says. "I'm going to experience another family's pain. And it's a privilege to be allowed into their lives at their most horrific time."
Falbo feels this way because she gets to offer what she considers a golden opportunity to the heartbroken relatives: "To give the gift of life on their loved one's behalf."
"With this job," she adds, "in death there could be life."
"How cool is that?"
Falbo, 36, is a registered nurse and a transplant coordinator for the New Jersey Organ and Tissue Sharing Network -- The Sharing Network, for short. A big part of her job is to approach families while they're struggling with shock from a sudden loss and try to convince them to donate their loved one's organs to a stranger who will probably die without them.
"It's got to be tough approaching parents, knowing what she's going to be asking them for," says Peter Markou.
Markou and his wife, Ann, met Falbo in the fall of 2006 at Chilton Memorial Hospital in Pompton Plains, when their 31-year-old son, Justin, died from a drug overdose. The couple consented to donate some of their son's organs, a decision that saved the lives of seven people.
"Once we had made the decision, it was obvious we had to be handled with kid gloves," says Markou, who lives in upstate New York. "She took us into another room and told us what was going to be done, that the surgery would take place in an antiseptic operating room, that they would be treating Justin as though he were still alive and that the body gets the respect it needed. Here was a woman who had to take us through the whole organ transplant process and her overall demeanor was that of a very caring person who had a very tough job."
"She is the Erin Brocovich of transplant coordinators," says her boss, Bill Reitsma, director of clinical services for the Sharing Network. "We've had very timid people, transplant coordinators, who've said, 'The family's very upset, we could never approach them.'
"The biggest part of this job is to not be afraid to seek the family out, to identify with them, help them find answers, satisfy their needs and help them to see the good that can come from making an organ donation," Reitsma says. "What I see in Stephanie is a willingness to fully engage and put herself out there to the family, to create a personal relationship."
Neighborhood connections
Falbo's childhood offered many opportunities to hone her gift for bonding with people. She grew up in Wallington, on the same close-knit block where she now owns a house just two doors down from her parents, Mary and Frank.
Falbo has also enjoyed a long-standing relationship -- 14 years -- with boyfriend Todd Catalano, a funeral director and a stand-up comic.
"I'm good at dealing with families after death. She's good at dealing with families at death," he says.
Falbo was raised on a street filled with kids, many of whom she remains close to today. They were always in each other's houses, yards and above-ground swimming pools, tearing around on their bikes or going to the movies.
"In the summer, I would take as many kids as I could fit into the car and go to the movies, and she made sure everybody was asked to go," says Mary Falbo. "She never wanted to hurt anybody's feelings."
Falbo also displayed her bent for nursing at an early age.
"She always showed this nurturing side," her mother recalls. "She would bring home anything that was hurt. It could be a worm, a frog. If somebody got hurt, she'd be the first one to run over and try to help or do something for that person. The other kids would run away because they'd be afraid, and she would run toward the problem to help who fell off the bike or who hurt their nose."
"I always thought it was important to take care of people when they are sick," Falbo says. "I loved knowing I could help someone else. That was pretty powerful for me."
After graduating from Mountainside Hospital School of Nursing in Montclair in 1993, she went to work in the intensive care unit at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center because she was eager to care for critically ill patients.
"I wanted the experience of working in a difficult environment because it challenged me," she says. "As an ICU nurse, I could monitor a patient and stop something fatal from happening."
But she also found herself gravitating to "death and dying."
"I remember seeing patients who were older and, basically, on their death beds. They had no family. They were going to die alone, and I didn't think that was acceptable," says Falbo. "I would stop what I was doing and close the curtain to their room. I held their hands and told them it was okay to go. Death is not supposed to be ugly or horrible. It's supposed to be a new beginning."
There were plenty of situations on the ICU floor when family members remained involved, and Falbo was drawn to them, as well.
"I saw families sitting alone, crying, and the nurses were so busy caring for someone else. It was easy for me to stop what I was doing, go into the room, put my hand on a shoulder and ask, 'Are you okay?' and let them talk and know they weren't alone."
"She went out of her way to take care of them -- not only the patients but the families, too. She went far beyond what you would normally expect a nurse to do," says nephrologist Sadanand Palekar, Falbo's boss in the ICU.
He recommended her when the Sharing Network had an opening for a transplant coordinator in 1999. He was also concerned she might burn out after six years in the intensive care unit.
"She wasn't getting burned out yet, but it happens to everyone, and I didn't want to waste her talents," Palekar recalls.
Falbo, who admits she was beginning to get bored with intensive care work, has lasted nine years as a transplant coordinator, while most leave after about three.
"We rarely advertise because the job is so intense," Reitsma says. "Quite frankly, we have terrible hours. You have to work from 10 to 16 days out of the month on call. You're committed to being available to respond to any (organ) donor and any hospital anywhere in the state at any time of the day or night."
Falbo jokes that this is why she knows where all the Dunkin' Donuts and Starbucks are.
"She also has the ability to detach and I don't mean that in a negative way," says Reitsma. "When she's with the families, she's fully engaged, but she can step out of that. It takes a special person to be able to detach emotionally and intellectually from all that goes into talking to a family that's losing somebody."
Simple pleasures
Catalano, who does his own share of family support and detachment as a funeral director, puts it this way: "When we're done with our day, we can walk away from things and find greater joy with our life because we see a lot of people in so much pain. It kind of puts things in perspective, and we can go back to work the next day and help another family."
Falbo also surrounds herself with plenty of creature comforts to help her de-stress when she's home on a "respite day." She fills her living room with soothing, neutral colors, lit candles and soft jazz. She and her boyfriend delight in simple pleasures -- long drives, weekends down the Shore, going out to dinner with friends.
"I love to garden. I love to bake," she says.
Part of Falbo's success in her job is due to her never failing to observe what Reitsma describes as "the cardinal rule" in the field of organ donation: "Never bring it up until the family really understands their loved one has died."
"I have to be very cautious about how I bring it up and, if the family is not ready, I'm not bringing it up," Falbo says.
The majority of organ procurements that take place are from patients who are brain dead, a state that is often misunderstood. "Your heart can still be beating, but you're still dead because the brain has completely ceased to function. The brain has died," says Falbo, who will draw pictures and have lengthy conversations to ensure family members truly understand.
"I tell them, 'I'm going to explain to you what's happened and how this has happened and why it's happened, and what the hospital did to try to save your loved one's life.'
"Sometimes, when families are told their loved one is brain dead, they become hysterical. They're punching walls, they're screaming, crying, they pass out," Falbo says. "I never know what I'm going to be walking into, but my job is to help the family make an informed decision about organ donation.
"Sometimes, I think, 'Oh my God, how do I do this? This is crazy!'
"But I do it because I know it's the right thing to do and I believe in it," says Falbo. "And I know how to defuse a bad situation."
Falbo also works hard to provide the same kind of calming comforts for the families of organ donors that she seeks when she needs to de-stress.
She will dim lights and play music. She will fetch glasses of water and snacks.
She will also reach out to mourners in a very literal way.
"She was not afraid to touch us -- to put her hand on your arm, to reach across the table and take your hand," says Ann Markou, "and to be able to sense when that would be okay to do.
"She is amazingly kind."
Additional insight:
Personality trait: Tenacity
What she sometimes does after work: "I come home and cry. How could you not?"
Favorite eye-catcher: "I love petunias, cascading petunias. I love my hanging baskets."
When she and her boyfriend first met: "He took a tissue and folded it up into a rose and gave it to me without saying anything. I thought that was kind of neat."

@Darkhand44 Correct. If I am your coach, I receive credit for your orders through TBB. Thank you for those orders!
Gerry, the Shakeology boost fiber looks well-engineered -- moreso than the cheap fiber from the store -- but I haven't tried it yet.

Numbers never lie.
Coming into the state softball tournament, fourth-ranked (Class 1A) Newell-Fonda boasted some impressive statistics.
Monday afternoon at Rogers Park, the Mustangs backed up those numbers, scoring a 14-1, four-inning victory in the quarterfinals over No. 8 Remsen St. Mary's.

Renee Maneman pitches for Newell-Fonda in a Class 1A quarterfinal contest at Rogers Park on Monday. For more photos, please visit CU at www.messengernews.net
Newel-Fonda (36-6 overall) advances to the semifinals on Thursday, taking on No. 10 New London on Diamond 2 at 11:30 a.m. New London (31-9) upset second-ranked and defending state champion Martensdale-St. Mary's in the quarters, 3-2.
Over the course of 41 regular season games, the Mustangs racked up over 200 steals, 330-plus hits and a team batting average of .325. In their state opener, N-F did exactly what they have done over the summer: hit, run and score in bunches.
"Remsen St. Mary's is a very good team, but we were able to apply pressure and they kicked the ball around a couple of times," N-F head coach Dick Jungers said. "We were able to take advantage of those mistakes."

SB - NF: Maneman (3), Wilken. MH - NF: Wells (2), Christensen (2), Maneman (2); RSM: Alexis Bunkers. LOB - NF: 5, RSM: 5.
After falling in the quarters last year and placing seventh, Jungers was excited to get a couple of days off before competing in the final four.
"It feels good to get a win in that first game," he said. "These girls have a lot of experience and I think that really helped to keep the nerves in check.
"You could tell (Remsen St. Mary's) played a little tight, and we were able to play loose and relaxed."
Brianna Wells connected on an inside-the-park home run to right field and later added a triple, as the Hawks (28-7) had left the outfield grass open. That run highlighted a six-run second that provided Renee Maneman with more than enough support.
Maneman (24-3) had three strikeouts and four hits allowed, helping her own cause with two hits, four runs scored and three steals.
"We thought we would play pretty well, but it's hard to expect a game like that," the junior said. "We were able to get in a good first inning and that helped us play relaxed."
Missy Morenz drove in two, Andrea Christensen had two hits and two runs scored.
Earlier this year, Newell-Fonda placed second on the hardwood in basketball. Several of those players are now lacing up the cleats on the softball diamond in hopes of bringing home another state title.
"We have a lot of experienced players who know what it takes to compete at state," Maneman said. "Our (regional final) win over Exira-EHK really gave us a lot of confidence, and that carried over (into Monday)."
Newell-Fonda has won eight consecutive since a loss to No. 1 (2A) North Union. Of the six losses suffered this year by the Mustangs, four of them have come at the hands of top-ranked squads (North Union twice, 1A Akron-Westfield, 4A LeMars).
"We didn't expect to win like that," Taiyler Schrank said. "It helps a lot, though, going forward because now we have confidence that we can win games (at state)."
Remsen St. Mary's will now head to the consolation bracket on Wednesday. They had a nine-game win streak snapped with the loss.
Alexis Bunkers had two hits in the setback.

"I would love to have my son back, but I want him to be happy. If this is the route he wants to take – if this is what makes him happy – then so be it. I would rather him have my full support" – What a fantastic parent.
Bless em for supporting her
"He likes playing with his sister's old toys but he still loves Dr Who too and playing with his brother."
Many girls like Doctor Who too! Glad Zachy's parents are being so supportive.
Are you seriously saying a 5 year old is immoral?? I've seen you making lots of horrible posts on pinknews – is that what you do each day, just trawl stories making hateful comments about issues you clearly know nothing about?
You can choose your religion, but that choice is correctly considered to be something that is deeply personal, and should never be changed by force. Those individuals for whom their gender identity or orientation is a choice (and there are many for whom it is not) should be given respect and dignity in their decisions about what is best for and truly reflects them, and not be stigmatised for it developing over their lifetimes, whether those decision concern their sexuality, gender, religion, ethics, morals, or other deeply personal attributes.
I was to impressed with the misgendering, but they tried to be positive so that is slightly better.
And I agree with Neil, as girl who adores Doctor Who, I was kind of offended by the blatant gender stereotypes that were used in this article.
Keith is an internet troll,
Who often speaks out of his hole,
When he's sloshed on the booze,
He logs on Pink News,
You can tell by the way that he speells…
I wonder why they feel it's neccessary to diagnose a 5 year old with GID. Obviously decisions in early cases, such as this, have to be made as the child approches puberty. But that is still many years to come.. As a former transkid I would like to say this to the parents. Support and love your child in wichever direction she chooses to travel.. But know this, it has been shown statisticly again and again that the vast majority of genetic boys displaying gender variant behaviour or identities in early childhood do not grow up to become transsexuals. A clearly disproportionate amount do however become gay men, otherwise not conflicted about their gender as adults. Please do not view transsexuality as a cure for homosexuality.
"I wonder why they feel it's neccessary to diagnose a 5 year old with GID."
I'd imagine the the attempt to mutilate his genitals was probably the point at which Avery's parents turned to health professionals. I'm pleased they've found a supportive healthcare team as I know there are still very few mental health professionals recognising gender development disorders in children. They seem to be taking the right approach here.
What a load of rubbish.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz FO.
It's a bit early to be judging her needs at this time, and should just support her in a non-judgmental way. It's good that her parents and school are supportive but it will be a different story at secondary! I think the pro-noun issue isn't really an issue – why should we judge? We didn't give birth to her.
I hope the schools she attends later on will be just as
supportave as the elemtary school is.
Great parents but this will end in tears when the tabloids get hold of it…
No doubt it will be a 'scoop' for the new Sun on Sunday AKA the rebranded News Of The World. New name, same old gutter press!
My comments regarding the seven-year-old who 'came out' as gay gained a bit of a mixed response. Here we have an even younger child who is considered to be the 'youngest trans-gendered person in the UK'. Please note I do not wish to sexualise children. I think that while children should enjoy their pre-teen years they should enjoy the support of their parents and not be subjected to social pressures to conform. At the age of five a child has a lot of living to do before the hormones kick in at the start of puberty. Please note that I was a child once!
But children do have sexualities and genders – we don't live in a beige gender-neutral bubble until the age of ten!
From speaking to the trans people I know, it's not at all unusual for GID to start as early as two or three years old. For young kids I imagine the only effect of the diagnosis is to direct parents, schools, etc to treat the child in a way that is consistent with the child's gender identity, allowing the child to explore in a safe environment what their gender means to them. Ideally this should also include battling stereotypes of gender roles while respecting gender expression, so kids who don't conform to gender roles can explore their gender identity safely (allowing for butch girls and feminine boys, cis and trans). Basically, I think we agree on the key point – I'm not sure where not wishing to "sexualise children" comes into this.
Good luck to this kid and the community to which they belong.
So what? There are younger GID kids in britain, they have just not been diagnosed yet.
Keith, I never understand what your point is? You just always spew a rant with spelling mistakes. What exactly are you saying? That people should be moral? That people can change their mind? Duuuhhhhh. I think even the five year old already knows that. Get a life you sad troll.
I still don't get what your point is. Something about compasses, objective and subjective and then the only point you ever make, which is that you are homophobic. How many times do you have to repeat that, everyone knows you are homophobic. Which is your only point. So every comment you make you may as well say….. I am homophobic. Because that's all you ever say.
okay im the parent of zachy and im posting here only as you guys are being nice lol
no 1 the reason zachys called he /she throughout the article is simple because i reefuse to call him it nine times out of ten we just refer to or child as zachy but with three other kids mixes sexes sometimes out of habit i shot tea time boys girls lay the table lol
subject to what yahoo commenters have said i am not a single parent zachy has a very strong male inflence and hes not having any ops at 12..when zachy reaches puberty then the process of intense concilling etc starts if zachy is still the same and if zachy wants to there are hormone tablets etc that can be given but as far as im aware legally 18 is still the law now if zachy is still dressing as a girl and being a girl at 18 i think thats old enough to decide…or main reasoning for this was a to raise awareness about this condition as its swept under the carpet and not a lot is known about it..thanks for support xxx
I didn't see this before I posted, and it seems I was quite rash. Please understand I wasn't criticising you! I'm recently out, and, well… I just know how much misgendering hurts. You're doing well, thank you for supporting your child.
As a woman with a trans history I can say that my first feelings that I should be a girl were at about the age. Growing up in the 60s there was no understanding and support so I felt that I just had to conform to perceived ideas of normality. I also agree with some comments that a lot of children go through phases at that age and it is too early to make a life changing decision. I think that Zachy's parents are showing fantastic support and doing the right thing, bless you both xx
Having a support system from family is half the battle. He is young he could decide he is gay, as he gets older, but he will make that decision, it's what he wants, and he is so lucky to have a loving family. We don't need to worry about you, your doing the right thing.
I had a feeling your mixed pronouns stemmed from something like that – I got into a minor debate on facebook about the matter. Zachy is still very young and I can only imagine how it must confuse you a little – but more importantly you are being fully supportive of your child, truly the thing Zachy needs the most. You are good parents, no matter what the nay-sayers have to say on the subject. Ignore the haters and go on supporting your children in their lives. Well done :-)
hi there i would be most greatfull if u could get intouch with me my email is firstname.lastname@example.com im going through this too my son is only 3 xx
Whoawhoa… pink news, seriously! I mean, yes the parent uses he, but the child describes herself as a girl.
"he would become upset if anyone referred to him as a boy." – 'him' as a 'boy'. 'Upset'. Surely that means you do not then describe her as a boy!
At the very least, if the parent has requested that female pronouns not be used, you could refer to the child with neutrality…
Sorry, but I get this all the time with TS/TV/CG type people and not knowing how to refer to them. If you get it wrong you get a herd of people flaming you for mislabelling them.
Would you prefer the child was referred to as "it"?
If you don't know or object to a trans persons identity would it not be better to just not use the pronoun rather than get it wrong?
Its not that hard and its all we ask.
Sorry to sound a bit obtuse, but can you demonstrate an example?
I actually find it *very* hard to know how to address transexual people without upsetting them.
Also, in the case of this boy, at 5 years old he has no sex life, so one cannot determine his/her/its sexuality. (Delete as applicable)
Address them how they would like to be addressed. Ask for their name, ask them how they would like to be addressed. Just like you respectfully would for any individual. If you don't want to dehumanise yourself and other people I would seriously reconsider referring to people with the word 'it'.
Also, sexuality has nothing to do with this. Even if it did, I don't see any evidence to suggest anyone is trying to determine Zachy's sexuality.
Actually, yes they can. Gender is fluid, not binary. .
First, you are applying a third persons (in this case, the mother) perspective to someone else. The *only* person who really knows if it's a 'choice' is Zachy. Anyone else – even parents – have only an opinion. The medical professionals have diagnosed this child as having a known medical condition. The child has made the choice to live in a way that best suits them (note, this is different from choosing to *have* the condition). The fact that Zachy tried to remove her male genitals says a LOT. This isn't a child choosing something, but a child instinctively *knowing* something.
As for your mention of 'moral', I'm drawing a blank as to what relevance morality has to this subject.
I'm so glad Zachy's parents are so open minded, and willing to let her decide what sex she wants to be1
gOD BLESS YOU ALL.
It's great to see Zachy has his parent's support.
Go for it sweety, what ever makes you happy.
Sounds just right to me …
i am a mother of 5 and my son at age 3 is going through this, im looking for advice of any sort and wouldd like to speak to other mums who are going or have went through this with there child after reading this im so glad there are other out there supporting there child as i will do mine and if he would be happy a girl then i would rather a haay girl than a unhappy boy
sorry this might be a bit forward but if zachs parents do happen to read this i would be so great full if u could get in contact with me i would be so so greatful

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Despite a two-hitter from Angelina Reno, Mid-Island dropped its first game of pool play to Dix Hills 4-2 in the Little League 10-year-old softball state tournament yesterday.
Mid-Island will be back in action tomorrow at 11 a.m.
Reno allowed a run in the first, but had a hand in tying the game in the top of the third when she walked, advanced to second on a ground out, moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on another wild pitch.
The righty — who allowed singles in the second and third innings — lost the lead in the bottom of the frame as Dix Hills took advantage of several errors to score two unearned runs.
Mid-Island cut the deficit to 3-2 in the fourth as Nancyann Revilla worked out a leadoff walk before two wild pitches advanced her to third. Revilla scored on Kaylee Wonica's bunt single.
Dix Hills concluded the scoring with an unearned tally in the bottom of the fourth and that proved to be enough.
Reno struck out eight while allowing one earned run

NEWARK — John Luzi, driving the No. 132 car, ran into a little problem in a consolation race at Ruppert Stadium in Newark, as seen in this 1951 photo. But according to an employee at Joy Auto Parts in Green Brook, Luzi went on to win the feature event later that day.
Tom Berry, writing on 3widespicturevault.com, reports that Ruppert Stadium was one of the premier auto racing short tracks in New Jersey in the 1940s and early 1950s, along with Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City and Hinchcliff Stadium in Paterson.
The Ruppert track was a one-fifth mile paved oval on Wilson Avenue that operated through 1952.
The folks at Joy Auto Parts note that the white flecks on the photo, which hung in the garage for years, are from paint overspray.

GM disputes claims by would-be OPALCO board candidate | Letters
I was surprised and disappointed to see that you published Bob Jarman's letter to OPALCO of March 16, 2014. I am writing to set the record straight.
First, Mr. Jarman asserts that "[w]ith the new amendments to the bylaws recently passed by the current Board (policies 1 & 23), the actions of the Board are not transparent to the Co-Op members."
The truth is that OPALCO's board of directors has not acted on those policy change proposals to date.
The board is considering changes to those policies and the proposed language is posted in the February and March board packets on OPALCO's website. Contrary to Mr. Jarman's implication, these proposed revisions are intended to protect our membership by ensuring transparency and integrity in board operations.
Second, Mr. Jarman incorrectly suggests that OPALCO's financial accounting is not honest. Nothing could be further from the truth.
OPALCO retains the outside, independent auditing services of the highly reputable accounting firm, Moss Adams, to review its financial controls and records on an annual basis. Furthermore, the IRS and the U.S. Commerce Department's Rural Utility Service annually review OPALCO's financial controls and records and consistently conclude that the Cooperative's accounting records accurately reflect its financial position and operations, with absolutely no qualifiers.
Mr. Jarman's claims about dishonest accounting are utterly without foundation.
Third, contrary to Mr. Jarman's assertion, the OPALCO board does not have a policy of not allowing board members to speak individually to the cooperative's members.
In summary, the OPALCO board's actions are transparent to the cooperative's members and completely consistent with cooperative principles, state law, and the organization's articles of incorporation and bylaws. And, the cooperative's financial accounting meets the very highest standards.
If Mr. Jarman believes that his duties and responsibilities as a member of the San Juan County Council somehow conflict with the duty he would have as a member of the OPALCO board of directors to support OPALCO and act only in the best interests of the cooperative and its members, then it is appropriate that he has withdrawn his name.
However, that does not justify promulgating falsehoods about the cooperative, its policies or accounting practices.
Rest assured that OPALCO's leadership is and will remain totally committed to the best interests of our membership.
Randy J. Cornelius, general manager, OPALCO
— Editor's note: The letter in question authored by Bob Jarman, entitled "OPALCO Letter" was sent by email by Jarman to the Journal of the San Juan Islands, and published in the SanJuanJournal.com opinion section, as a letter to the editor.

AP Sports Writer
DETROIT (AP) – Sebastien Bourdais knew that once Dragon Racing's deal with Lotus went bad it was going to be difficult to overcome.
He has found out just how tough it will be.
Bourdais will be relegated this season to competing on street courses – such as this weekend's Detroit Grand Prix – while teammate Katherine Legge races on ovals.
"It's too bad that we can't do a true, full season," he said Friday morning after his first practice run on Belle Isle's 2-mile track.
Dragon Racing team owner Jay Penske dropped a $4.6 million lawsuit against Lotus last month in order to be released from a contract to make a deal to use Chevrolet engines. Chevrolet, though, is providing the team with only one engine for the rest of the season.
"I'd love to have two Chevrolets on track every weekend," Penske said. "But I remain extremely grateful to Chevy for stepping in at the last minute and providing us not only the two engines for Indy, but also committing to provide us full support for a single entry for the rest of the season which they were under no obligation to do."
Bourdais was in each of the first five races this year with one top-10 finish. His sixth start on Sunday in Detroit will be his last for a month because the next three events – in Texas, Milwaukee and Iowa – are on oval tracks.
"We know it's time to show what we're capable of," he said. "The sooner the better."
Among points leaders, Bourdais is 21st and Legge, who also raced in IndyCar's first five events, is 24th out of 33 drivers.
Lotus officials have acknowledged they got a late start in testing their twin turbocharged engine, leaving them far behind Chevrolet and Honda. Dragon Racing became the third team to ditch the engines after another sub-par showing at Brazil.
"As soon as the Lotus deal went bonkers, we knew it wasn't going to be good for us," Bourdais said. "But that's what we're facing and we'll try to make the best of it."

Norton Shores police have arrested one man believed to be connected with a string of nighttime burglaries while the residents were sleeping, and late Friday they were searching for a second man they believe was the burglar caught on video by a homeowner's security system.
Police asked for citizens' help locating Johnny Carlie Brown, 44, a Muskegon parolee with a prison record for first-degree home invasion, breaking and entering and other convictions in Kent County.
Brown and a second man, lodged at the Muskegon County Jail, are "persons of interest" in at least the home invasions that happened late Wednesday and early Thursday in the northwest end of Norton Shores, Norton Shores Police Lt. Jon Gale said.
Anyone with information is asked to call 911, Norton Shores Police at 733-2691, Muskegon County Silent Observer, 72CRIME, or Muskegon Police, 724-6750, Gale said.
Norton Shores Police Officer Michael Wasilewski identified, pulled over and arrested the second man around 9:30 a.m. Friday at Getty Street and Sherman Boulevard, Gale said. As of late Friday afternoon the man had not been formally charged, and police declined to release his name.
Police identified the man under arrest after finding stolen property he had allegedly been in possession of, Gale said.
The image of a man police believe is Brown was captured on a home-security video system in a home in the 2000 block of Southwood Avenue in Norton Shores.
"Now we're trying to piece together the connection between the two (men)," Gale said.
Norton Shores and Muskegon police detectives also were conferring to determine whether the two men are connected to an earlier series of similar burglaries in homes in the Beachwood-Bluffton neighborhood on the west side of Muskegon.

display utensils or not to display, this is today's question on Houzz:
"Early in my magazine editing days, I read an interview with a local designer that I've never forgotten. Asked about the latest kitchen trends, the designer insisted that homeowners had moved beyond such outdated practices as storing canisters and utensil crocks right on the countertop. I was taken aback when I read that, and almost 15 years later, I still disagree with her."
BUDGET BONUSES: From This Old House comes some projects that didn't break the bank, but sure made the homeowners happy.
"Just because you have to stretch your home-improvement dollars doesn't mean you need to scrimp on style. Coming up, resourceful TOH readers show how to turn a dated cook space into a handsome farmhouse kitchen, plus five more standout projects--all by trading sweat equity for green."
FALL INTO ORGANIZATION: Over at KitchAnn Style, the look of a reorganized cupboard:
"Fall is a great time to reorganize your cupboards. Maybe you want to start pulling out your favorite holiday pieces or show off your special pieces that have been hiding in the dark for too long; if so, here are some ideas to get your started."

MARQUETTE - The setting is idyllic and the mix of bands is eclectic, making the Rockin' The Bay Music Festival one of the special weekends of music in the Upper Peninsula every summer.
"We are excited to have a great lineup for the fourth annual Rockin' The Bay Music Festival," said Craig Johnson, festival organizer. "We are lucky to have some of the region's premier bands coming to Gladstone to perform."
This year's Rockin' The Bay event is set for June 15-16, as always at the Gladstone Yacht Club, which is located on beautiful Little Bay de Noc, on Lake Michigan's north shore. The music starts at 5 p.m. Friday, June 15 and at 2 p.m. Saturday, June 16.

Tickets are $10 for one night or $15 for both, with proceeds to benefit the Gladstone Youth Wrestling Program. Tickets are available at the Gladstone Yacht Club, The Record Rack in Escanaba and Jim's Music in Escanaba.
Johnson, who also is manager of the yacht club, said this year's musical list is a mix of returnees and newcomers.
"Returning this year will be fan favorites Greg Waters and The Broad Street Boogie from Appleton, Wis., U.P. native and Minneapolis-based Erik Koskinen band and local party favorites Uncle Ugly," Johnson said. "We have two Marquette bands, Michael Hozz and Travis and the St. Lou's, as well as Bad Munkee from Gladstone.

We hope you can come out and enjoy the great music, food and drinks on the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan. It's all for a great cause and it should be an awesome weekend."

Baltimore Rejects Martial Law Proposals
City was on verge of total police state lockdown and no one battered an eyelid
Infowars.net | May 24, 2007
Steve Watson
The city of Baltimore was on the verge of martial law this week as a proposal by a city council member to impose curfews, grant police extended search powers and shut down businesses was seriously considered in an effort to tackle violent crime.
Baltimore lawmakers have rejected a proposal to allow the mayor to lock down streets and close businesses in high-crime zones, the most recent attempt to curb violence the city, reports the Washington Times .
The bill was introduced by Robert W. Curran, a Democrat.
The AP reported that Police would be encouraged to aggressively stop and frisk individuals in "public safety act zones" to search for weapons and drugs. They would also have been able to limit the number of people on city sidewalks, and halt traffic during two-week intervals.
"While I do agree that desperate times call for desperate measures, I do not agree that trampling on citizens' civil liberties is the answer," said council member Keifer J. Mitchell Jr., a Democrat also running for mayor. "This bill gives the mayor tremendous power, tantamount to declaring martial law, and I have grave reservations about that."
MSNBC ran a report which asked "are curfews a good idea?" Former Baltimore police commissioner Ed Norris described the proposal as "the most ridiculous thing I've heard in a long time, a horrible thing, and an act of desperation."
He then went on to ask "how is this going to work are they going to lock everyone in their homes?" asking "have you ever heard of the Constitution?" When asked "has this type of plan ever worked anywhere?" Norris replied "yeah I think it worked in Itlay in the 1930s."
The fact that this kind of proposal is even being considered in America shows how freedom is being systematically undermined on a national level and the post 9/11 police state mentality is filtering down to the local level.
The media reaction to ask "is this a good thing?" shows just how far down the road towards a police state we now are, when just a few years ago such proposals would be considered ludicrous and would be universally denounced without debate.

Different cultures prepare their meals using pots and pans unlike the basic ones found in most of our kitchen cupboards. You can add international flair to your cooking by using them.
A clay roaster used in Europe is called Romertopf. It allows roasting without adding any liquids. This helps preserve flavor and nutrients. Just remember to soak the pot in water for 15 minutes before using.
Preparing a Spanish dinner? A paella pan adds something special. This pan has a thick base that is ridged. Newer ones have a non-stick surface that prevents burning and sticking. Tasty rice, with shrimp and other paella ingredients, blend together nicely when using this pan.
People have been banging pots and pans since they were invented. Some do it:
For a happy celebration like New Year's Eve
In a form of a protest to draw attention to a cause
To scare away wild life from intruding campsites
To keep away spirits and mythical creatures
A karhai is an Indian wok is made of a heavy-gauge carbon steel with a nonstick surface. The karhai is deeper and narrower than a Chinese wok, but both have rounded bottoms so that they can be filled with oil for deep frying.
Why not create a Moroccan dish with a tagine? This uniquely shaped, thick earthenware pot is used in North Africa for a slow-cooked dish of the same name.
Classic French dishes, such as moules a la marinieres, as well as stews and braises, are traditionally prepared in Brittany pots. They are made of enameled cast iron, and are rounded pots with gently flaring sides.
You don't have to be a gourmet cook to impress family and friends. Simply prepare and serve delicious and nutritious meals using your favorite new piece of "cultural cookware".

The Extreme Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) is currently under development for flight on the Japanese Solar-B satellite. EIS uses a multilayer-coated off-axis telescope mirror and a multilayer-coated toroidal grating spectrometer to produce stigmatic spectra of solar regions isolated by a 1024 arcsec high slit. The instrument produces monochromatic images either by rastering the solar image across a narrow entrance slit or by using a very wide slit. Half of each optic is coated to optimize reflectance at 19.5 nm, and the other half to optimize reflectance at 27.0 nm, with each wavelength range imaged onto a separate CCD detector.
In this presentation we provide an update on the EIS hardware development and show details of the expected performance of the instrument in solar quiet regions, active regions, and flares.

Students honored by city
Two students, Kyle and Eve Beausoleil, were honored last week with a Certificate of Thanks and Recognition by Woodinville Mayor Randy Ransom on behalf of the city and the City Council.
The Beausoleils, along with their mother, stenciled over 150 "Dump no waste; drains to stream with salmon" reminders on area storm drains. The project was for Kyle's Boy Scout Life Award.
The project is an ongoing one. For information, call the city at (425) 489-2700.

Internal energy, when more clearly defined, will be understood as the link between attitude, emotions, intent and nervous system. A subtle, part bio-electrical, part etheric force that links mind to intent and physical form. Internal energy is inseparable from nervous system, attitude and emotions. Whether for health and healing of self or others, or for martial purpose, one's dominant mode of operating in the world, either positive- non judgmental and joyful with appreciation and gratitude, or negative- judgemental and angry is the primary determinant of whether a person is able to access and develop strong internal energy.
As a general rule, the more bitter, complaining or negative a person is, the less likely he or she is able to heal or develop internal energy. This is due to strengthening or weakening effects of emotional state on the heart, nervous system and, by extension, one's subtle life energy.

The University of Massachusetts board of trustees OK'd an increase in student fees - as much as $1500 for undergraduates - for next semester, despite protest from undergrads, graduate students and public higher education advocates like PHENOM.
Earlier this week, I caught the protest held on campus, before they bused out to Dartmouth, where the trustees were voting on the increase.
|UMass students protest fee hike
That same day, Chancellor Robert C. Holub sent an email to the campus community - which, I noted in my column this week, cost UMass students about $1.55 a word - defending the fee increase.
"No one likes raising fees, I certainly don't, but our current fiscal realities, and our commitment to maintaining the quality of a UMass Amherst education, make this unavoidable," Holub wrote in the email.
I wonder if they have chancellor fees. Or trustee fees. Something tells me they don't, but I think I'll look into it.
Of course, Holub and system president Jack Wilson are quick to point out a few things:
- The $1,500 fee increase comes with "a new and enhanced package of financial aid," according to Holub, which will pad its economic impact for low- to middle-income students.
- For graduate students, Holub wrote that fewer than 600, or a little over 10 percent, will be affected by the increased curriculum fees.
- In the event that the federal stimulus money makes its way to Massachusetts [as it most likely will], Wilson says that students will receive rebates of part or all of their fees.
But Student Government Association President Malcolm Chu told me in an email earlier this week that the notion that students will be reimbursed for their fee money is "a farce." He was also quick to note that fees at UMass have always gone up, and never, ever down, and that if the University bails itself out with student money, Beacon Hill will have the go-ahead to invest stimulus money elsewhere.
"Why charge ahead with a fee increase that further places the burden of funding the University on students and sends a clear message to the governor that he can spend the stimulus money elsewhere because we're already covered?" he wrote.

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. — Gov. Chris Christie today reminded conservatives why he's still a star in the Republican Party with a passionate call for a return to the principles that he says can win elections.
In his first major public speech since scandals have preoccupied his administration, Christie addressed Conservative Political Action Conference activists, a crowd that hasn't always been on his side.
"We don't get to govern if we don't win," Christie roared from the stage. "And it's not only bad when we don't get to govern because we don't get to mold, change our society, what's worse is they do. And they're doing it to us right now. So please let us come out of this resolved not only to stand for our principles, but let's come out of this conference resolved to win elections again."
In contrast to many of the far-right speakers on CPAC's agenda, Christie said the party needed to do more than oppose Obamacare, higher taxes, big government and "more intrusion into our constitutional rights."
"We need to talk about the fact that we are for a free-market society that allows your effort and your ingenuity to determine your success, not the cold, hard hand of government determining the winners and losers," he said.
For a governor who has built his reputation on working with Democrats, Christie gave the crowd red meat, going after President Obama's leadership and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's feud with the Koch Brothers.
"Our ideas are better than their ideas and that's what we have to stand up for," Christie said.
He added, "The leader of the Senate Democrats stands up and rail against two American entrepreneurs who have built a business, created jobs and created wealth and philanthropy in this country. Harry Reid should get back to work and stop picking on great Americans who are creating great things in our country."
Although many consider Christie moderate on social issues, he reminded the CPAC audience that he was the first New Jersey governor opposed to abortion rights since the landmark Roe v. Wade decision was handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1973.
"When we say we're pro-life and that we're proud to be pro-life, that doesn't mean that we're pro-life just when that human being is in the womb, we need to be pro-life when they leave the womb too, for every step of their lives," he said.
From teacher accountability to jobs to drug rehabilitation, Christie said, the country doesn't need to hear Obama's opinion on income inequality.
"We don't have an income inequality problem," he said. "We have an opportunity inequality problem in this country."
With congressional Republicans railing at Obama over his handling of the current crisis in Crimea, Christie made his own allusion, "We need to make sure that when we say we are for America being a leader in the world and we are for a strong national defense, not one that allows other countries to run us over all over the world."

Bucs looking for early season momentum on the gridiron
KINGSTON — At the onset of each new football season, expectations for the Kingston High Buccaneers are raised just a little.
The team, entering its fourth year, has yet to win more than one game in a season. But with more experience and talent than in years past, the Bucs are running out of excuses for not posting a winning record in 2010, head coach Dan Novick said.
"We should be achieving at this point in time," Novick said. "It's been four years now. Most people say it takes between three and five. Well, we're right in the middle of that. This is the year we should be getting over the hump in terms of wins and losses."
The key, Novick said, is convincing players accustomed to losing that they have the skill to make a new tradition of winning. Changing that frame of mind is not an easy task.
"The challenge for us is going to be to infuse some confidence in our guys," Novick said. "Every now and then, we see old habits creep in. But not nearly as bad as in the past."
Experience gained over the past three seasons helps. A core of 15 seniors and 17 juniors is all too familiar with defeat, but those players have also learned from their losses.
"Our egos are all put behind us. We've gotten a lot more coachable over the years," said junior quarterback Sam Byers.
Byers, who also plays outside linebacker, is one of Kingston's chief threats, along with receiver Tucker Bowman, tight end George Marinan, running back Lou Hecker and lineman Freddy Rodolf. Novick said although the Bucs only won one game in 2009, they were within reach of six. They lost two games by one point.
"If we play to our potential, and the other team plays to their potential, we'll come out on top every time," Byers said.
Novick also believes the new Olympic League setup will play to Kingston's advantage. With North Kitsap, Port Angeles and Olympic high schools entering the 2A division, the Bucs have more local opponents and Novick expects larger crowds at home games.
"Everybody wants to play in front of a bigger crowd," Novick said. "You have a tendency to get a little bit better effort and a little better focus out of both teams if there's people there watching."
The Bucs' first test comes at home Sept. 3 against Chimacum, one of the two teams Kingston has defeated in the past. When the two teams met last year, five Buccaneer turnovers led to a 12-6 loss.
"I think we did a pretty good job of shooting ourselves in the foot in that game," Novick said.
The outcome of the season opener could set the tone for the rest of the year.
"The most important game for us is going to be game one," Novick said. "If we can get some confidence early, we'll be a tough team to beat."

Posted on 02/22/2012 7:57:35 AM PST by Lazamataz
This evening, speaking at North Carolina Central University in Durham, North Carolina, White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett said that folks getting and spending unemployment checks is a healthy thing . . . because it stimulates the economy: "Even though we had a terrible economic crisis three years ago, throughout our country many people were suffering before the last three years, particularly in the black community," Jarrett said. "And so we need to make sure that we continue to support that important safety net. It not only is good for the family, but it's good for the economy. People who receive that unemployment check go out and spend it and help stimulate the economy, so that's healthy as well."
(Excerpt) Read more at nation.foxnews.com ...
These people are competely bat-shit crazy.
"These people are competely bat-shit crazy."
Succinct and true.
No more needs to be said.
Jarrett said. "And so we need to make sure that we continue to support that important safety net.
I see Jarrett and Romney are in agreement....
So Val says that having black people on unemployment is good for the economy. Blind followers! Every frickin' Obama 12 sticker I see just amazes me.
Marxist idiot.
Well just s**t fire and save matches......ol' Val has hit upon the cure for all of our country's economic woes.
Why, all we need to do is send every dime we earn to the Feds and let them redistribute the money as they see fit...of course, heavily favoring blacks. See, then the economy will get a HUGE stimulus!
{slapping forehead]....now why didn't I think of that?????
I mean, we have a very target-rich environment during the coming election. By target-rich, I mean, the amount of crazy statements coming out of the mouths of this Administration, will make for a plethora of great campaign ads.
Awesome. All we need for a full recovery is 100% unemployment.
This guy beat you to the idea.
Is this some kind of a joke?
Lies and ignorance stimulate liberals.
First idiot I ever heard of that flunked econ 101.
I will go Valerie one better.
I think, if we use 10% of those unemployed to actively tear down and destroy infrastructure -- kind of simulating 110% unemployment, there -- we will have even BETTER and LARGER recovery.
Go to the source. She said it. She meant it.
Obama did not cancel the Keystone pipeline.
We are at war with Eastasia and have always been at war with Eastasia.
Am I living in a novel?
Are these people really that stupid?
I read awhile back that Carter considered himself of average inelegance and detested being around people who were more intelligent than he viewed himself, so all of his advisers, czars, appointments, whatever, he made sure they were less than him, so he could feel superior.
I would say that is BHO issue as well.
Very soon, you will be hearing that $5 a gallon gas is good for the economy, too.
Good grief. Obamalogic.
No doubt Valerie would begin thinking clearly if she lost her mind!
"The key-word here is blackwhite. Like so many Newspeak words, this word has two mutually contradictory meanings. Applied to an opponent, it means the habit of impudently claiming that black is white, in contradiction of the plain facts."[6]
Definition of doublethink: "To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed...."[7]
The "Black Community" (aka, "Holder's People") have been on the public dole for 4 generations....they have NEVER sought education or meaningful LEGAL employment en masse, and will never leave The Plantation, as long as they're allowed free feeding at the public trough. 75% are born without fathers in the picture, and NO ONE will FORCE paternity identification to make them pay the costs of the child...NO ONE will force them to take drug tests to qualify for ANY public assistance, EBT's, food stamps, voter ID, etc. This is bullshit of the first magnitude, in what Jarrett (a pure racist who would NEVER be employed if she weren't black, except possibly by a pimp or as a custodian).
"Am I living in a novel?"
Do the clocks strike 13 in your town?
Excellent campaign ad material.
Richard Belzer defines The Big Lie, in his book UFOs, JFK, and Elvis: Conspiracies You Don't Have To Be Crazy To Believe, this way: "If you tell a lie that's big enough, and you tell it often enough, people will believe you are telling the truth, even when what you are saying is total crap."
He wouldn't know.
""People who receive that unemployment check go out and spend it and help stimulate the economy, so that's healthy as well""
As a business owner who has to PAY the unemployment, I don't feel all that stimulated.
All rulers in all ages have tried to impose a false view of the world upon their followers. -1984 by George Orwell
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
umm huh, sorta like abortions promote life?
Yes, leftists are crazy. They always were.
No. It's called a "nightmare".
Now, 9% unemployment is good for the economy, the homeless have all disappeared (I guess --- I never see stories about them anymore) and $5 gas would be a very good thing.
Well, the best we can all do is to make sure this moonbat and her league of morons become unemployed in 2013. She will find out her theory is as big a flop as her boss.
She got her talking points and the lemmings will soon follow.
Must be why Obama has worked so hard for three years to keep people unemployed.
According to these moonbats, everything stimulates the economy except for private citizens engaging in productive activity.
If that's the case, fire everyone in the White Hut and then we"ll see a true stimulated recovery? Sounds good to me.
Whoa! Wait just a damn minute. I know that I saw Elvis in Vegas just last week. In fact, I saw him many times.
How do they figure that works?
Unemployed have more time to shop or what?
Why are we bothering with the middle man? Just make everything in the world free.
Why should that poor Ethiopian be denied a steak dinner at Peter Luger?
Didn't you know? Money comes from the end of a printing press. /s
People on that side seem to be saying this more and more, as it's a foundation for a permanent redistributive society; Soviet Communism in all but name.

An upper 9th Ward property owner shot a 41-year-old man who tried stealing copper from his flood-damaged house and attacking him with a large piece of wood Friday morning, according to the New Orleans Police Department.
Lionel Lewis, 61, will not be booked with any violations because he was defending himself, said officer Shereese Harper, NOPD spokeswoman. Meanwhile, investigators plan to book the alleged intruder, Nathan Thomas, who was hospitalized, with burglary.
Lewis said he was inside his FEMA trailer about 7:50 a.m. when he heard someone outside kick down a wooden board restricting access to the space below his two-story house in the 1900 block of Desire Street.
Lewis feared someone was after the house's copper pipes. He grabbed his cell phone and a handgun from his trailer and stepped outside to investigate. As a school bus rumbled down the street, he slowly approached a doorway leading into the home and saw Thomas.
"Don't move," Lewis said.
The intruder was surprised, but he did not obey. He reached for a nearby two-by-four, charged Lewis and swung. Lewis ducked the blow. Thomas raised the piece of wood again; Lewis aimed his gun at Thomas' leg, fired and wounded him.
Lewis scurried back outside and called 911. Police and paramedics soon arrived; Thomas was arrested and taken to the LSU Trauma Center in an ambulance. He got there in guarded condition, said Jeb Tate, a spokesman for the city's Emergency Medical Services.
About two hours after the encounter, Lewis stood outside his trailer and said break-ins were nothing new for the neighborhood.
He said he has called the police to report them several times since Hurricane Katrina's floodwaters wrecked his and his neighbors' homes. In those cases, police arrested someone who wanted to sell copper pipes stolen from houses under renovation.
But none of the thieves had previously put up a fight.
Thomas "took it to a whole other level," Lewis said. "He left me no choice but to shoot him."

Legislation co-sponsored by Assemblyman Ruben Ramos Jr. that allows gamers to place bets via electronic tablets has been signed into law by Gov. Chris Christie, state officials announced.
The measure changes New Jersey laws governing casino gaming. Casinos can now offer electronic versions of authorized games to be played on mobile gaming devices in any area located within the boundaries of the casino hotel facility -- including beside the swimming pool.
The sponsors say that the new law allows Atlantic City to stay relevant and remain an attractive destination for gamers in an increasingly wireless world.
"Those who want to take advantage of gaming attractions can now have it at their fingertips," Ramos, a former Hoboken councilman, said in a statement. "In order to position Atlantic City to remain competitive with neighboring states, we need to embrace the future."
The new law also allows casinos to offer items such as cars, iPads or other popular items to entice people to New Jersey casinos.
The legislaton received final passage in the Assembly and state Senate on June 28.
