Barnes wrongly attacked "biased" ABC News poll on Terri Schiavo case, falsely claimed Schiavo "hasn't had a brain test for 10 years"
Research ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
Weekly Standard executive editor and Fox News contributor Fred Barnes attacked an ABC News poll for describing Terri Schiavo as being on "life support," suggesting that this language was inaccurate and produced an overly large majority of respondents who favored removing Schiavo's feeding tube. In fact, other polls on the issue that made no reference to "life support" showed similar public support for the removal of the feeding tube.
Barnes also falsely claimed that Schiavo "hasn't had a brain test for 10 years." In fact, a computed tomography (CAT) scan was performed on Schiavo's brain in 2002.
In an article in the April 4 edition of The Weekly Standard, Barnes accused ABC News of "crude liberal bias" in its coverage and polling of the Schiavo case:
Bias seeped into polling. An ABC News poll question said Terri Schiavo was on "life support" and has "no consciousness and her condition is irreversible." "Do you support ... the decision to remove Terri's feeding tube?" A large majority said they did. But Schiavo was not on life support as most people understand the term, may have some consciousness, and some neurologists believe she has a chance of partial recovery. Given those facts, would you want to stay alive? ABC didn't ask.
When asked the question Barnes called "biased," 63 percent of respondents supported the decision to remove Schiavo's feeding tube, while 28 percent disapproved. While Barnes did not offer further explanation on what "most people" understand "life support" to be, polls by other organizations, which made no mention of "life support," demonstrated similar support for removing Schiavo's feeding tube:
- A CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll conducted March 18-20 asked: "As you may know, on Friday the feeding tube keeping Terri Schiavo alive was removed. Based on what you have heard or read about the case, do you think that the feeding tube should or should not have been removed?" A majority of respondents -- 56 percent -- believed the feeding tube should have been removed, while 31 percent did not.
- A Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll conducted March 1-2 asked respondents: "Terri Schiavo has been in a so-called 'persistent vegetative state' since 1990. Terri's husband says his wife would rather die than be kept alive artificially and wants her feeding tube removed. Terri's parents believe she could still recover and want the feeding tube to remain. If you were Terri's guardian, what would you do? Would you remove the feeding tube or would you keep the feeding tube inserted?" In response, 59 percent of respondents said they would remove the feeding tube, while 24 percent said they would not.
As part of the "All-Star Panel" on the March 24 edition of Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume, Barnes falsely claimed that Schiavo has not had a "brain test" in the past decade:
BARNES: You know what Robert Destro said, the lawyer for the Schindler family who was here [earlier in the program]? He talked to Dr. [Ronald] Cranford, her original lawyer. You know who Dr. Cranford is. He was the doctor who came in, Michael Schiavo's doctor, who came in and examined her at one point. Now, what does he say? He says she should have had an MRI [magnetic resonance imaging] and PET [positron emission tomography] scan. And who blocked it? Michael Schiavo and his lawyer blocked her from having that. Well, she hasn't had a brain test for 10 years, Juan [Williams, fellow panelist], 10 years.
The Associated Press reported on March 24 that Schiavo's "most recent brain scans and examinations were done in 2002." A November 22, 2002, ruling from the Pinellas County, Florida, Circuit Court denying an appeal by Schiavo's parents to prevent the removal of her feeding tube referenced the results of a 2002 CT scan -- or CAT scan -- Schiavo had received. According to the court's decision: "Dr. Maxfield also felt that '02 CT Scan showed improvement in the quality of the remaining brain matter and that one reason Terry [sic] Schiavo was not in a persistent vegetative state was that she could swallow her own saliva and breathe on her own. These views were not supported by any of the other doctors and Drs. [Melvin] Greer, [Peter] Bambakidis and Cranford strongly disagreed with his '02 CT Scan opinion. Dr. Cranford further testified that saliva handling is from the brain stem, a reflex."

A9 TV; 7 February 2012
Some people act out of a mass psychology. But acting out of a mass psychology is terribly embarrassing. I, for instance, never adopt mass psychology. Under normal circumstances I should never support the Jews because what receives the most votes among certain communities and societies, is to be anti-Zionist, an enemy of the Jews, and even to hate them. Even being hostile to Christians and full of hatred toward them, these are the things that win you votes. Speaking in a bigoted manner and telling people nonsense wins you votes. But I have no such problem. I have no such concerns, in other words. I do not care who says so. I feel affection for the Jews, I pity them. I protect them for Allah's sake, and allow nobody to speak against them. I feel the same affection for Christians, they are radiant.
(About the view expressed on a program, in which Prof. Ersin Kalaycıoğlu and İhsan Eliaçık also participated, in the words, "You cannot make anyone truly religious, a Muslim of the Qur'an because the prevailing conditions will not permit it. A man will steal or kill to feed his children if they are hungry. When survival is the only moral imperative, no other moral values remain. Therefore, if you want a virtuous society you must first fill their stomachs, not try and make them religious. Hazrat Ali also says you cannot have a religion of the hungry.")
For one thing, Muslims fast and go hungry, but they are full of love, for Allah's sake. There is a verse that says that Muslims go without food and sleep and are exhausted, but they never abandon the path of Allah. That is the general sense of the verse. A Muslim is someone who displays moral virtues even when he is in difficulties. And Hazrat Ali (r.a) never said any such thing. He would never say that. Why are they defaming him like that? If that is their own opinion, that is a different matter, though it is still wrong. Even if a Muslim is angry, he will never commit a crime, not even if he is starving. He is always devoted to Allah under the influence of his conscience. He fears Allah and is controlled and patient. He never loses his patience, moderation or respect, out of his fear of Allah. They cast a Muslim into the flames, but he still says, "Allah," even in the fire. So how is any such thing possible?
People regard saying, "There is no Allah," as a badge of modernity. They regard criticizing religion and Islam as a badge of modernity. They think that talking about Darwinism and materialism is science. But when you say, "Allah does exist and it is impossible for a protein molecule to form by chance," and you prove that scientifically, they immediately say there is no place for you in the university in question. If you are a minister or prime minister they will demand you resign. So what are we to do? We must still strive to spread Islam and the Qur'an with all our might.
(In response to a viewer who says, "What do you think about Israel, which has killed thousands of Palestinians?")
You demand neither Islamic Union nor Turkish-Islamic Union. But then you ask what I think about the repression in Palestine. The reason for the repression in Palestine is that Muslims are not united. All Muslims are responsible. The reason for this tragedy of Palestine is the lack of Islamic Union. These tragedies will continue so long as there is no Islamic Union. As if only Israel were attacking Palestine. They are also at one anothers throats. There are terrible killings going on. They are also shooting one another. If you are sincere and you believe that this position of Israel's is wrong, then what must you do? You must demand Islamic Union. It will all dry up if you demand Islamic Union, the moment Islamic Union is established. Both Israel and Palestine will be liberated. Your aim is not to liberate Palestine or Israel because if it were, that is very easy. All you need to do is say, "I want Islamic Union." Just say, "O Lord, bestow the Mahdi upon us." But do you? No. It does not suit you, because you want to form your own community. You want your own group or society to come out on top. But I am talking about a comprehensive solution.
I do not understand. People are saying, "Syria must be saved." But when it is liberated, what then? "That will be a very good thing," they say. But it is totally unclear what they want. What is it you want from Syria? "To live at ease." But Allah will not let you live at ease. You must demand Islamic Union, Turkish-Islamic Union, the Mahdi and Hazrat Jesus the Messiah. They keep saying "We want to live at ease" on an individual basis. That is no good.
You cannot get anywhere by damning people. But there will be nothing to curse once we have Islamic Union. It will all be resolved at once. You have to say the words. But you are reluctant even to speak them. You cannot bring yourself to say, "I want Islamic Union." Two words. But you are opposing the Mahdi and Jesus the Messiah. Say, "I want Islamic Union." Some people are opposed to it.2012-02-29 10:57:31

SAN BERNARDINO - The family of a woman crushed by a truck in her own home two years ago welcomed her accused killer's recent decision to accept a plea bargain.
Christopher Segura, who was charged in the March 2010 killing of Glynna Folkens in the kitchen of her San Bernardino home pleaded guilty last month at the San Bernardino Superior Court and took responsibility for the woman's death.
As part of the deal, Segura was convicted of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and is expected to be sentenced on Jan. 11 to six years in prison.
While it wasn't the expected outcome, the family is happy it's over.
"We didn't want to go to trial," Scott Folkens, Glynna's older brother, said.
He added that the family was not emotionally ready to testify if the case had gone to trial.
"The biggest frustration is that it took two and a half years," said Scott Folkens, 50, of San Bernardino. "This wasn't a case where you needed forensic scientists... He was behind the wheel, that wasn't a debate. He obviously drove the car that went through the wall and killed her."
On March 10, 2010 Segura was driving his mother's Chevy Avalanche in the 26200 block of Croyden Street.
The vehicle jumped a curb and went through brick wall, coming down through the roof of the Folkens' house, Scott said. It trapped Glynna Folkens, 45, and crushed her between the vehicle and the stove.
She was pronounced dead at a local hospital an hour later.
"They pulled him out of the car after they pulled her our of the house," Scott Folkens said. "(Segura) had minor injuries. He was arrested and released on bail."
Glynna Folkens, who has been deaf since birth, lived with her parents in the house. When the truck barreled into their home she was in the kitchen getting her mother something to drink.
"She went out to get my mom a soda," Scott Folkens said. "We think she then went to get a straw from the cabinet. She probably felt the vehicle hitting the wall and not knowing what it was went to the window to see."
"The car hit (the house) so hard it sent bricks over the house and damaged case on the other side," Scott Folkens added.
Richard Carnero, Segura's lawyer, said his client decided to accept the plea bargain now and not risk a harder punishment later.
"(The prosecution) had a pretty good case on him for that charge," Carnero said.
The defense lawyer added that this case was a "real tragedy."
"He's really remorseful," Carnero said about Segura.

PRINCETON, N.J.- Laura Granville, a nine-year WTA Tour player who has advanced in all four major tournaments, has been named as the eighth head coach of the Princeton women's tennis program.
"To have Laura Granville, with the collegiate and professional success that she has achieved, as the coach of our program will be a tremendous asset," the Ford Family Director of Athletics at Princeton University Gary Walters '67 said. "We are confident that the drive that led her to two NCAA singles titles and an accomplished pro career will fit well with our current student-athletes, who are accustomed to high standards for our program."
Granville, who entered Stanford University with the Class of 2003, won the NCAA individual singles title as a freshman and sophomore, turned pro after her sophomore season and remained on the Women's Tennis Association tour until March 2010.
"I am honored to join the Princeton community and I am thrilled to have been selected as head tennis coach by Gary Walters and the search committee," Granville said. "I hope to continue the winning tradition of Louise Gengler, Kathy Sell, Megan Bradley-Rose and all of my predecessors. I look forward to the challenge of competing in the Ivy League, as well as on the national level, each year. I want the players to enjoy competing and the camaraderie with their teammates while setting high standards for sportsmanship and academic excellence."
During that time, Granville reached the third round or better at the Australian Open, the U.S. Open, the French Open and Wimbledon. She twice reached the round of 16 at Wimbledon by defeating grand slam champions Mary Pierce and Martina Hingis.
While a pro, Granville won nine International Tennis Federation titles and achieved a career-high singles ranking of No. 28 in June 2003, winning 221 of her 381 career matches. In doubles play, Granville was ranked as high as No. 47 in 2007, winning two WTA and six ITF doubles titles while compiling a record of 100-87.
Following her 2010 retirement from professional tennis, Granville returned to Stanford to finish her education, completing her degree in history with the Class of 2012.
As a collegian, Granville set the women's NCAA record for most consecutive singles victories at 58, which she still holds. Granville helped Stanford to the NCAA team title in 2001 and reached the NCAA doubles final that year while winning her second straight NCAA singles title. She was named the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's Player of the Year in both of her collegiate seasons.
A native of Chicago, Granville prepped at The Latin School of Chicago, where she was the Illinois high school state singles champion in 1996.

Gerard Way Releasing Solo Debut In September
Gerard Way is laying out the plans for his solo debut. The former My Chemical Romance frontman says the first album released under his own name -- dubbed Hesitant Alien -- will be out September 30th.
Way explains that his intention with Hesitant Alien was to "make 100 percent uncompromised art" using the guitar, which he calls "the currently least radio-friendly instrument" out there.
Way says he drew influence from some of his art school guitar heroes, Mary Timony and Carrie Brownstein, as well as genres like shoegaze and Britpop. He adds that he wanted the new album to "sonically galvanize people."
Way is set to make his live solo debut and unveil some new tunes at the upcoming Reading and Leeds festivals in the U.K. He'll be at Reading on August 22nd and Leeds on August 23rd.

Campus to be wireless by 2010
No doubt you've seen faculty, staff, and students enjoying the beautiful outdoors—and the wireless network—on the historic Horseshoe.
By the end of this academic year, the entire campus will be covered by wireless service, giving faculty, staff, and students the ability to work and study in more locations than ever before.
"We're working with AT&T to equip 160 buildings and outdoor areas with high-speed wireless broadband to connect 30,000 students, faculty, staff, and guests," said Kyle Herron, director of communications infrastructure. "Two notable benefits of this service are increased network access speed and coverage."
The WiFi service will include all AT&T Basic HotSpots throughout South Carolina. That's more than 200 hot spot locations—including McDonald's and Starbucks with AT&T wireless service—that faculty, staff, and students will be able to access at no additional charge.
For complete instructions on how to configure your wireless device, contact the University Technology Services Help Desk at 7-1800 or go to the Wireless @ USC site at uts.sc.edu/wireless.

There was a period about a month ago when the weather got really hot here and it seemed like the mosquitoes were back in force and the stories were everywhere that I actually had a little paranoia about getting it. Lisa says that she is just tired and that it takes a year to recover. Haven't people died from it? Maybe I didn't need to freak out about it. Being tired is not such a bad thing. I could use the sleep. She didn't get the virus while shooting Survivor. With that whole Survivor thing and now West Nile Virus, I think she has the two ingredients necessary for her to get her own reality show. Either that or she can be the new Mrs. Garrett on a re-boot of Facts of Life.

Mines receives $9M National Science Foundation grant
GOLDEN, Colo., Sept. 23, 2007 – Gov. Bill Ritter recently joined officials and researchers from Colorado School of Mines and the University of Colorado to announce $16.5 million in six-year National Science Foundation research grants through NSF's Materials Research Science and Engineering Center program.
Mines will receive $9.3 million to establish a new center which will focus on investigating emerging renewable energy materials and technologies. The Mines center will be led by Dr. Craig Taylor and will collaborate with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. It will be the first NSF-funded center dedicated solely to renewable energy.
CU-Boulder will receive $7.2 million to continue and expand work at its existing Liquid Crystals Research Center. This will be the third round of NSF funding for the Center. Founded in 1995, the Center has spun off six different companies, and its research is contributing to a number of different fields, including better liquid crystals for solar panels and the origins of DNA. CU's Liquid Crystal Research Center is headed by Dr. Noel Clark.
"These grants will help us address the enormous energy challenges that face our state, our country and our planet," Gov. Ritter said. "There are only 26 centers around the country. So for Colorado to receive two multimillion grants is an incredible achievement. It recognizes the cutting-edge science and advanced-technology research being done here.
"These grants also demonstrate the vital link between higher education, the New Energy Economy and the importance of preparing our students to enter a 21st century workforce that is becoming more and more competitive and more and more focused on knowledge-based industries of tomorrow, such as energy."
"I have full confidence that these two centers will advance our understanding of basic materials science, address the energy challenges that face our nation and the world, and train the next generation of scientists and engineers on how to solve the complex problems of the future," said Dr. Arden Bement, director of the National Science Foundation.
The Colorado Higher Education Competitive Research Authority played a key role in providing state matching funds for each grant. This research authority was created by Senate Bill 07-182, sponsored by Sen. Bob Bacon and Rep. Jack Pommer, to provide the state's research institutions with matching funds so they can compete effectively for major federal grants that require such state support.
Bacon and Pommer joined Gov. Ritter at today's news conference along with CU President Bruce Benson and School of Mines President Bill Scoggins.
Founded in 1874, Colorado School of Mines was established to serve the needs of the local mining industry. Today, the School has an international reputation for excellence in both engineering education and the applied sciences with special expertise in the development and stewardship of the Earth's resources.

I recently learned that several state legislatures are considering bills that are contrary to the deployment objectives of the Broadband Plan. For example, in North Carolina, the state legislature is currently evaluating legislation entitled 'Level Playing Field/Local Government Competition.' ... This piece of legislation certainly sounds goal-worthy, an innocuous proposition, but do not let the title fool you. This measure, if enacted, will not only fail to level the playing field; it will discourage municipal governments from addressing deployment in communities where the private sector has failed to meet broadband service needs. In other words, it will be a significant barrier to broadband deployment and may impede local efforts to promote economic development.

Several concrete producers have thrown their hats into the political ring to fulfill a personal commitment of sharing their business expertise and talents to improve the lives of others.
Type A personality Tom Flynn, 45, president of Flynn Ready-Mix Concrete in Dubuque, Iowa, is serving his second term and seventh year as a state senator in Iowa's 17th District. During the legislative session, Flynn makes a three-and-a-half-hour trip by car to the state capital in Des Moines and puts in 12-hour days Monday through Thursday before heading back home on Friday and catching up on work on Friday and Saturday. Sunday is family day.
Never without his cellular phone, Flynn also uses his laptop computer, fax, and personal data assistance systems as well as the old reliable "to do list" in his pocket to organize his life. Flynn estimates that when he's away from the office, he gets about six calls a day from his company's management team.
After selling Norwalk Concrete Industries in Norwalk, Ohio, to his two sons five years ago, the now-73-year-old Tom Lendrum worked as an engineering consultant. But he was unfulfilled. With 40 years of business and management expertise, Lendrum found himself campaigning door to door on many afternoons and nights and was elected to the 63rd District of the Ohio House of Representatives this year.
Lendrum says producers can begin a political life by serving part time on school boards or city councils, or as township trustees. "Find out if you're going to like it," he advises. "Then when you retire you can really get into the political scene."
Producer Mark W. Stiles happily "stepped on a few toes" at the Texas House of Representatives. His 125,000 constituents from District 21 voted the Democrat into office for eight terms from 1982û1999 before Stiles elected to return to the business world full time.
Stiles, 52, is group president of Transit Mix Concrete and Materials in Beaumont, Texas, and senior vice president of the Dallas-based parent company, Trinity Industries.
Stiles kept in contact via a telephone line and fax installed in his government office. He worked 12-hour days and spent about 20 hours working for his company on his off days. How difficult is it to run a business when you're not physically present on a daily basis? It can be done, Stiles says, if you have access to company reports.

Roop Becomes His Own Manby Brent Harris • August 24, 2005 Share:
Brandon Roop's summer was spent in an investment office, working as an intern. It's something he plans to pursue after graduating from Wabash later this year. He worked in the office of his father, Rick. But before you think Brandon was worried about getting too far away from home, consider the spring semester of his junior.
Roop spent that time in Spain, immersed in the language and culture.
"I became a part of another family," said Roop. "They took me in as one of their own kids. It was a life-changing moment. I felt like a baby bird being pushed from the nest. I had to learn to fly --- to take care of myself."
"But that's what Wabash prepares you to do. I came to Wabash to learn how to learn. I've learned to become my own man."
A portion of being his own man includes being a member of the Little Giants' football team and of the Wabash Christian Men Society. As a starting H-back last season, he was third on the team in receptions with 18 and sixth in receiving yards with 160.
Roop credits his teammates and classmates with helping him stay up to date with the events back on campus.
"A lot of the guys emailed me regularly. I really appreciated it. I felt like I was right there with them."
The weeks in Spain were something that Roop never dreamed would happen when he graduated from Castle High School.
"I'm so thankful to Wabash for giving me the opportunity to live in Spain for the semester. It reinforced the reasons I chose to come to school here. I've learned to be a gentleman and that I will succeed when I graduate."

The Anchorage Field Office of the FBI issued a warning about a credit card scam targeting Alaskans that is being conducted through text messaging. Alaskans have received text messages on their mobile phones stating that their credit cards have been deactivated, and to call a 907 area code number to re-activate them. A recording then asks for a 16-digit credit card number, expiration date, CVV code (card security code) and PIN. The FBI has advised anyone receiving a text message regarding their credit card account to delete the messages and call the credit card company directly.
The Consumer Protection Unit of the Attorney General's Office has also received recent reports about text message scams. These scams, called "Smishing" because they involve text message or SMS technology, often involve text messages claiming they are from a consumer's bank or credit card company, asking for personal or account information in response. Another variation of the scam involves messages purportedly sent by major retailers claiming the recipient has won a prize and asking for personal information in response. Scammers may also ask message recipients to open phony websites using a smartphone, which could download malicious software giving scammers access to any information on the phone.
Tips for avoiding mobile phone scams:
If you think that someone is engaging in fraud you can report it to the Alaska Attorney General's Office and the Internet Crime Complaint Center.

Craigslist's Missed Connections
To celebrate Valentine's Day, here is a collection of poignant posts recently made to the Dallas-area section of the online classifieds site.
121 Tollway About 4:45, m4w (Frisco)
We both were driving white vehicles. Let's talk…
Best Sex of My Life, m4w, 25 (Rockwall)
I met a sexy short Hispanic massage therapist. We dated for, like, 60 days. It was really the best sex of my life. You are such a naughty girl. We ended out of nowhere, and I still think of you from time to time. When we met I had nothing for me. I actually have a license now and own my own car, a sweet 2004 GTO with a 6-speed, such a blast to drive. I work hard and hope to keep climbing the ladder. I wonder what you're up to these days. I hope you're doing well and read this.
Cruising Electronics at Costco, m4m, 47 (DFW area Costco)
I was in the TV electronics area of Costco today, and I was watching you operate a device with a remote. I did not know anything about it and started asking you some questions since you seemed to know more about it than I did. My eyes locked into your eyes, and I felt chemistry between us. We had a brief discussion and I became speechless and felt awkward, not knowing what to say next. We both went our own way in the store, and I noticed you in the refrigerated produce room later. I wanted to talk to you and perhaps meet for lunch and explore this further. I just don't have the nerve to make a move on another man in public. You were similar to me in age, physique (we're both stocky), and you had a handsome face and striking salt-and-pepper hair. To identify you, what device were you using the remote on, and what did we talk about? Anything notable about me? You are a hot man and I hope (by remote chance) you see this ad.
Our Love Will Create an Avatar World, m4w
I saw you today, Hershey Bar. I didn't expect such a classy lady to be at the Parks mall, but I guess when you ignore the linoleum floor, it's not so bad. You were buying some serial-killer type stuff at the mall. At first, I thought you were purchasing something for a friend, but when I overheard your finger mutilation story, I knew you were shopping for yourself. I really enjoyed stalking you for the rest of the day. I enjoyed hearing your jokes about your whore Mexican friend at Auntie Anne's while you worked it in your heel-boot oxymoron.
I thought I lost you in the midst of perfume mist at Dillard's, but then I saw you again. I was headed north on Cooper, you were headed south. When I saw you, Chocolate Love, I had to make a U-turn. Unfortunately, we almost crashed. I really hope I didn't cause your pretzel to fall. Sorry about that. I hope that didn't ruin anything. But I know this will work out. My psychic told me today.
Pink Victoria's Secret Pants, m4w (24 Hour Fitness/Little Elm)
You had black hair. Just had to let you know you made my workout.
Funeral Home Guy, m4m, 36 (Arlington Hospital)
You were the amazingly hot dude that came in with a much older guy this morning. I helped you all try to find someone, but you guys were in the wrong location. When you guys did find out, we all laughed, and you all went on your way, but I couldn't stop staring at your sexy smile. Tell me more details so that I know it was you.
Whole Foods Butcher, w4m (Preston & Park Blvd.)
I've seen you (late 30s/early 40s, brown hair, mustache, Rangers hoodie) a few times. Love your smile and how helpful you always are!
Office Depot Account Manager, w4m (Irving)
Brad, it's been awhile since I've spoke with you, and I still think about you from time to time. I used to love when you would come by and you always complimented me on my shoes 🙂 If by chance you get this and are single, I would love to talk after regular business hours 🙂
I Sold You a Wii for $50, m4w, 27 (Dallas)
We had a great conversation and I thought you were really beautiful. I would have asked for your number, but my boss was right next to me. I would like to get to know you better. Tell me where you work at.
Father and Son Fake Tree at Target, w4m, 35 (Flower Mound)
You were looking at Xmas stuff with your son at Target. You bought a tree. I was there with my two kids, with short auburn hair. You were wearing a hat and glasses and a black hoodie. Your face and your voice just struck a chord with me. I didn't notice a ring. We kinda walked down the aisle together toward the checkout. My daughter dropped her Santa hat on the ground. You made your son carry all your stuff, even though someone offered you a cart. We were smiling, both of us tickled with the kids. It was just awesome for that moment. I wish I had talked to you.
My Heart Vomits, m4w, 35 (Target, Belt Line)
That's right. I saw what you did. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing but respect for moms, but I saw you throw your kid's diaper into the Target parking lot, and that is DISGUSTING. The parking lot is not your trash can. The TRASH CAN is your trash can, and you were 5 feet from one. I couldn't help saying something to you as I walked by, especially since I almost tripped over the stinking thing as you flung it directly at my feet. I couldn't believe someone would do something like that—but then I looked into your beautiful eyes and felt a spark between us. That's chemistry, baby, and there's no denying chemistry.
True, I shouldn't have compared your actions to whatever was in that diaper. And I probably shouldn't have told your kid that pooping in public is terrible and wrong. That's none of my business. I also hope you can forgive me for dry heaving as your naked child urinated on the car seat.
Eventually I did walk away, but now I can't stop thinking about you. I want to see you again and get to know you. Your kid is actually pretty cute, aside from all the excrement. Hit me up, and I'll give you a chance to apologize. Then we can find our happily ever after.
Starbucks, m4w, 50 (Plano, Custer Rd.)
I've seen you there several times. I love your sense of style, the way you dress. You're a very attractive woman. If you might be interested, give me a sign, a wink perhaps.
Denise, You Drive a Truck, m4w (Arlington)
Denise, you are an incredible woman. Your husband cooks barbecue. You like hanging out at your pool. You have an amazing body. I'm your secret admirer.
Hey! You in the Glasses! m4m, 25 (Green Line, Fair Park to Pearl)
You got on at the Fair Park station and sat across the aisle from me. You were a REALLY cute guy in glasses. I took a few furtive glances, but I'm really bad at eye flirting. I was wearing a gray coat, scarf, and hat. We both got off at Pearl Street, and you sort of cleared your throat a lot for some reason. If you noticed me and would like to chat, send me an email telling me what large noticeable object I carried in my hand(s).
Shell on Blvd. 26, Pantera Was Playing, w4m (North Richland Hills)
You were in front of me at the gas station when I was about to buy a Monster. I noticed the Shell was finally playing some decent music because Pantera's "Walk" was blasting. I said, "Wow, y'all have finally upgraded your music for once!" or something similar, and you were all, "I know, right!!" Just thought you were pretty chill, not even tryin' to hook up or anything. Just figured you'd be pretty chill to have as a friend. Hope you see this someday and jot me an email.
White Girl Who Flashed Black Guy, m4w, 32 (Lewisville, Summit)
I was a tall black guy walking down Summit, and you passed by in a black SUV and flashed me. If you get this and remember, send me a message.
We Keep Meeting at Odd Times, m4w, 40 (DFW Airport)
Hi, you're a cute, petite gate agent for American Eagle. We work together. Every time you see me, you say "Hello" and give me a nice smile. I have never had the nerve to talk in-depth with you, besides exchanging short pleasantries. I know you are originally from Fresno, California, and you fly home occasionally. You've been working weekends.
Unfortunately, I am married. I don't know if you're judgmental on that issue. Your first initial, if I'm not mistaken, is an H.
I doubt you look at this site, but if you have an idea, get back to me. Let me buy you some lunch.
NorthPark Food Court, m4w, 21 (NorthPark Center)
You work at Toni & Guy. Saw you at Original SoupMan. We we were both eyeing each other pretty hard. I just wanna kick it this weekend NSA. What was I wearing?
Toni & Guy NorthPark, m4w (NorthPark Mall)
You were sitting in the chair to my right while I was getting my hair cut. You caught my gaze for a second, but since you were so beautiful, I looked away. I think you might be a little bit older than me, but I would love to buy you a drink. I have to say I absolutely love your hair, especially the "drapey thing" you got going on. I know this may seem totally weird that I put this on here, but for some reason I just caught a good vibe from you that I thought about all the drive home.
Hope the universe is on my side, and you see this and email me back : )
Dallas Symphony Tonight, w4m (Meyerson)
You were playing the violin right in front of the piano. I could not stop watching you play. I was there for a friend's holiday party and sitting in the front. I thought you looked and smiled. If so, email me.

The Pill Concerns
Im on the pill and I skip my monthlies regularly so I only get my period about once every three months? Ive heard differing opinions on this. Ive had people tell me that not getting your monthly is not bad for you as this happens when pregnant and in the olden days many women spent more time pregnant than not, however, other have said its terrible for you and can affect fertility and lead to other problems. Can you clear me up on this?

Hi Melissa,
I just want to clarify before I answer. Hormonal birth control pills (i.e. The Pill) have a few placebo pills (pills that do not have hormones in them) that are supposed to be taken each month. Sometime during the "placebo" week, you should have what's called a "withdrawal bleed". Are you not having a bleed each month when you take the placebo pills? If this is the case, have you talked with your doctor, midwife or practitioner about this and if so, what did they say?
I'd also like to know if you had regular cycles before you started on the pill. "Regular Cycles" would be bleeding every 26-33 days (or so) and having a good bleed for 3-5 days.
Once I am more clear on this I can give more information.
Warm regards,

There are some birth control pills, like Seasonique that are intended to only result in a period a few times per year, is this the type of birth control you are taking perchance? They work the same way as what is being described by Kate, however, it is simply that you are only taking the yellow placebo pills three times per year. Other forms of birth control, like the Mirena IUD can lead to some women simply not having a period at all. There is a lot of debate on whether that is good or bad for fertility. But if it bothers you there are pills that do not have this effect, some include a monthly placebo and a low dose of hormones. There is also non-hormonal BC like Paraguard (a copper IUD).

Thanks, mom2many, for the clarification on the Seasonique birth control. I suppose I assumed that the birth control Melissa was using was the "monthly bleed" type because she used the term "skip my mothlies regulary" but you could be right.
Melissa, I'd encourage you to talk to your doctor to see if you're supposed to be having a monthly bleed or not.
The copper IUD is not hormonal based, but it does have it's drawbacks as well. The way it works is by causing an inflammatory reaction in the uterus which is supposed to kill sperm. However, if sperm and egg do manage to meet, the baby will have a hard time implanting, and if you find you're pregnant, you must remove the IUD immediately, which can cause miscarriage.
Every form of birth control has risks except natural family planning where you watch your fertility signs and avoid intercourse during your fertile window. Natural family planning is just as effective as the Pill when done properly. My husband and I used this for 7 years and we avoided pregnancy that entire time. Then when my husband was ready for a baby (I was ready the day I got married) we just reversed what we had been doing to avoid pregnancy, and we conceived the first month we tried.

Prince Leopold: The Untold Story of Queen Victoria's Youngest Son
Sutton, Jan 1, 1998 - Biography & Autobiography - 216 pages
Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany (1853-84), is acknowledged to have been the most intelligent and probably the most interesting of Queen Victoria's four sons. He was the youngest and a strong-willed attractive character, with an immense thirst for life. He was also, however, the first haemophilia sufferer in the royal family and endured continual ill health; as if haemophilia was not enough, he was also epileptic. In this biography, Charlotte Zeepvat has drawn on sources to reveal a compelling human story which also touches on the wider worlds of late 19th-century Oxford and of literature, art and politics in the Victorian period. In particular, it examines the question of haemophilia and the royal family. There are many questions to answer, such as when did the Queen and Prince Albert realize their youngest son was ill and how much did they understand of his illness? Some of Leopold's early attacks were described as "rheumatism" - was this an attempt to keep the truth concealed or a genuine misunderstanding? The book also presents a full and balanced picture of Leopold's relationship with his mother. Letters already published provide snapshots of individual quarrels between mother and son but no one has yet considered the relationship as a whole. Finally it eamines Leopold's life at Oxford, the varied and interesting friendships he developed there (with, among others, Charles Dodgson - "Lewis Carroll" - John Ruskin and Oscar Wilde), his political views and the importance of his work as unofficial secretary to the Queen.

Amenorrhea is the absence of menstruation. Menstruation is a woman's monthly period.
Primary amenorrhea is when a girl has not yet started her monthly periods, and she:
Primary amenorrhea; No periods - primary; Absent periods - primary; Absent menses - primary; Absence of periods - primary
Most girls begin menstruating between ages 9 and 18, with an average of around 12 years old. Primary amenorrhea typically occurs when a girl is older than 15, if she has gone through other normal changes that occur during puberty. Primary amenorrhea may occur with or without other signs of puberty.
Being born with incompletely formed genital or pelvic organs can lead to primary amenorrhea. Some of these defects include:
Hormones play a big role in a woman's menstrual cycle. Hormone problems can occur when:
Either of these problems may be due to:
In many cases, the cause of primary amenorrhea is not known.
A female with amenorrhea will have no menstrual flow. She may have other signs of puberty.
The doctor will perform a physical exam and ask questions about your medical history. A pregnancy test will be done.
Blood tests may include:
Other tests that may be done include:
Treatment depends on the cause of the missing period. Primary amenorrhea that is caused by birth defects may require hormone medications, surgery, or both.
If the amenorrhea is caused by a tumor in the brain:
If the condition is caused by a body-wide disease, treatment of the disease may allow menstruation to begin.
If the amenorrhea is due to anorexia or too much exercise, periods will often begin when the weight returns to normal or the exercise level is decreased.
If the amenorrhea cannot be corrected, medicines can sometimes create a menstrual-like situation. Medicines can help the woman feel more like her friends and female family members. They can also protect the bones from becoming too thin (osteoporosis).
The outlook depends on the cause of the amenorrhea and whether it can be corrected with treatment or lifestyle changes.
Periods are not likely to start on their own if the amenorrhea was caused by one of the following conditions:
You may have emotional distress because you feel different from friends or family. Or you may worry that you might not be able to have children.
Call your health care provider if your daughter is older than 15 and has not yet begun menstruating, or if she is 14 and shows no other signs of puberty.

Bill was too hyped up, and I had by far the best session of the summer.Anyone conquer?
medium period swells (10-12 seconds) are generally better around here, than longer period swells. I surfed good waves on both swells.
Danny was for sure better for the beaches i surf. Tonight was some of the best surf i got all summer
agreed. Danny was way better where I surf and with less hype it was less crowded!
i liked friday bill better then danny was on friday, too much chop, dannys current was crazy on friday
the current separates the men from the boys..... i like the current. If you can't stay at the peak...oh well. More for me!!
The Sunday morning of Bill was the best of all the days I surfed in both swells followed by Bill Saturday evening, then Denny Saturday.
Not saying which one is better, but I got some great waves yesterday. I think the lack of hype made Danny more favorable for me. :)
Definately danny- faster wave and steeper. Had a great time Saturday going right! Maybe just because there weren't so many jackazzs in the water.
Plus I got barrled out of my mind on Sunday with 5 other people out compared to the 120(seriously) people out last Sunday. Saturday had some great lines also

Vatican: This Is Not an Exorcism
(NEWSER) – Pope Francis was merely praying in a video that some claim shows him performing an exorcism on a Mexican pilgrim, the Vatican says. In the video—broadcast on a TV station owned by the Italian Bishops' Conference—the man convulses and then goes limp after the stern-faced pontiff places his hands on his head, the BBC reports. Exorcists say that no matter what the Vatican claims, the pope was clearly expelling the forces of evil from the man.

Johnny Depp Gossip
Johnny Depp gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Johnny plays for Willie
Willie Nelson played a show in Boston last night. And Johnny Depp played a set with him. Willie apparently introduced him as just "Johnny". Which, fine, I guess he didn't want to upstage the main act but if he wasn't Johnny DEPP, would he have been invited to be there in the first place? Like does he really have such mad skills on the guitar that it doesn't matter WHO he is? There does seem to be an advantage to him playing guitar though in that when he's on the guitar, he de-accessorises, possibly because all that feather and scarf sh-t that he's always wearing gets in the way of the music. Full Story
Where's Johnny Depp?
Ethan Miller/ Getty
Nicolas Cage was at the Guns N' Roses show the other night. That's Andrew Dice Clay with him. The photo was posted on the band's Instagram. Please take a close look at Cage's style – the hat, the beads around the neck, the t-shirt with his own face, that f-cked up belt, what appears to be fringe on his pants, the cane, the rings, waving around a glass of wine… And my first question, swear to God, when I saw this picture on Dlisted Full Story
Picture Him On Top Of You: Johnny Depp edition
FameFlynet, James Haynes/ Splash
Never, ever, ever thought we'd play my game, Picture Him On Top Of You, featuring Johnny Depp. Ever. When I invented it, it was because we kept covering these Hollywood parties we'd always see these women, these gorgeous gorgeous women, wrapped around the grossest, sickest, vilest, richest men. Full Story
Franco & Depp's fiancée
Ron Asadorian/ Splash
Johnny Depp's fiancée is currently shooting a movie in New York with James Franco, The Adderall Diaries. The story is about HIS character, obviously. They look like they get on well. Magazines keep putting her on the cover. With nothing to promote…except the fact that Johnny Depp asked her to marry him. Full Story
Johnny Depp to rub scarves all over Houdini
There is a handful of films I want, kind of desperately, to see in my lifetime, and for some reason, they're all biopics. They are, in order: Nikola Tesla, Harry Houdini, World War II ladyspies Christine Granville and/or Nancy Wake, and pirates Bartholomew Roberts and Jean Lafitte. Out of all of those, the only one we're remotely close to seeing is Harry Houdini as there are currently two Houdini projects in development, one at Sony and one at Lionsgate. Full Story
Younger with a kiss
Can a kiss make you younger? Can a kiss from a younger woman make you feel younger? Can a kiss from a younger woman make you believe you're still young? Johnny Depp leaned in for a kiss from his fiancée the other day in New York before flying out. It's the happiest we've seen her with him. Full Story
Johnny Depp holds his girlfriend
Kevin Mazur/ Theo Wargo/ Getty
Do you feel like Johnny Depp is in your face a LOT these days? A lot more than he ever used to be? We'd go months not seeing him before. A long, long time. JD knew how to go underground. Like Tom Cruise, like Brange, he has the resources, he had the inclination. Then. Now? Now it's almost weekly. Full Story
Mr Peanut & his fiancée at the MET Gala
Wenn, Dimitrios Kambouris/ TIMOTHY A. CLARY/ Getty
So many of you emailed and tweeted at me about this last night. The Mr Peanut thing. And several other outlets are on the peanut train. And I decided I'd be lazy and just go with it because Johnny Depp has become a cartoon cliché. So why should I expend any originality on his ass when I could be saving it for someone else? Mr Peanut it is. Full Story
Not the future Mrs Depp
CHP /Diane Cohen /FAMEFLYNET PICTURES
This is Vanessa Paradis arriving at a French talk show in Paris yesterday getting creative with her short hair. And some shots of her from a couple of weeks ago in NYC at a premiere. Looking cool as f-ck. Vanessa is 41 years old. Johnny Depp aged her out. And proceeded to become more and more and more embarrassing with his "chick ring", his ripped hat, his parachute pants, and derivative medieval themed engagement parties. Full Story
Johnny Depp's career to be buried in February 2015
It is with heavy hearts that we announce that after a long battle, Johnny Depp's career has succumbed to a case of mid-life crisis that proved terminal. Depp's career fought mid-life crisis for several years, but suffered a decline beginning in 2011 from which it never recovered, undergoing bouts of bad movies, questionable life choices and terrible pants. Full Story
Poetry & Roses
FameFlynet, NIGNY/ Blayze/ Splash
As you know, it was Amber Heard's birthday yesterday. So her fiancé, Johnny Depp, had a lot of roses delivered to her. Fine. Then, last night, he took her to Bauman Rare Books. They picked out some poetry. After that, they probably went back to the hotel to watch black and white movies. Full Story

Our National Advisory Board consists of major corporations and foundations that provide ongoing support and advice to the university, so our graduates experience superior results. WGU's online business programs provide an up-to-date, relevant curriculum designed to help students gain the skills employers need. As a graduate, you'll be able to apply what you've learned, and that will play a key role in helping you reach your full career potential.

The online M.S. in Management and Leadership Program also requires the successful completion of a capstone project.
Your capstone project is something to be proud of – it's the culmination of all your hard work. Your final project allows you to take what you've learned and apply it to a real-world situation, proposing a solution to an actual issue you face in your place of business. Go ahead, show everyone what you can do.
WGU is designed to let you go to school on your time, not according to a class schedule. Our online degree program is flexible and puts you at the center of your education: you choose when and where to complete your coursework. Once you demonstrate your competency in a subject area, you can move on to your next course.
Online learning is not easy.
You should expect to work hard and spend 20 hours or more per week on your studies. Still, your program will be flexible enough to fit into your schedule, not the other way around.
The standard time it takes to complete the online M.S. in Management and Leadership program at WGU is two years.
The program requires the completion of 34 competency units (CUs), our equivalent to the traditional credit hour. Each course typically equals three or four CUs.
Many students proceed faster than the normal pace designed into each program. But don't assume doing so is easy WGU programs are quite rigorous. The pace at which you complete your WGU program depends upon how quickly you are able to take and pass the required assessments. Successful students who commit 15 hours or more per week to their studies are often able to complete their programs more quickly.
Ultimately, the pace at which you complete your M.S. in Management and Leadership degree depends on how rapidly you pass assessments.
It's your program. It's up to you. Create your own schedule, choose your pace and achieve your personal goals.
"Our partnership with WGU enables our employees to advance their education affordably without interrupting their careers." John Steele, Senior Vice President of Human Resources at Hospital Corporation of America
Western Governors University was the first university in the country to employ a cutting edge, competency-based learning model that lets you use skills and knowledge you already have to accelerate your degree program.
In WGU's online degree programs, students advance by demonstrating their competence in each subject area. You'll be able to move quickly through material you already know so you can spend your time focusing on what you still need to learn.
You'll work with your assigned Faculty Mentor on a personalized Degree Plan that establishes the pace at which you move through the program.
With few exceptions, you'll be able to choose when and where you study.
You'll complete as much work as YOU choose during each six-month term.
You'll collaborate with your Faculty Mentor to determine the learning resources that will help you develop and demonstrate your competency in each subject area.
You'll be required to complete at least 12 CUs per term for bachelor's degree programs and 8 CUs per term for graduate degree programs in order to make On Time Progress. If you choose to and are able, you can add courses and move more quickly through your program.
We're committed to keeping tuition low and making sure our online education degree programs remain the very best value for hardworking students. WGU doesn't spend money on classrooms, research facilities, or football stadiums. Instead, we focus on keeping costs low. In fact, we haven't increased tuition since 2008. And because we charge tuition at a flat-rate each term, if you complete coursework ahead of schedule, you can save yourself money as well as time.
No matter how many courses you complete each term, your tuition stays the same.
The more courses you complete each term, the fewer terms you have until graduation.
Our competency-based model gives you the opportunity to accelerate your progress.
If you complete your program ahead of schedule, you'll save both time and money.
You'll pay the same low, flat-rate tuition each 6-month term, regardless of how many courses you complete. If you accelerate your degree program, you'll pay less for your degree. The following hypothetical students illustrate two common scenarios for the Master of Science, Management and Leadership program:
For this program, a full course load is 8 competency units (credit hours) per term – each course generally represents three or four competency units. Because we allow you to complete extra courses at no extra cost, you may be able to increase the value of your program by dedicating extra time to your studies.
WGU's online M.S. in Management and Leadership is designed to be affordable for hard-working adults with bills to pay.
Learn more about tuition and fees.
WGU is half the cost of other online universities. A business degree at a traditional university can cost more than $40,000. A typical two-year master's degree program at WGU is less than $15,000.
*Note: This chart is for illustration only and reflects the tuition information made public by other institutions and WGU's standard tuition of $2,890 per term as of February 1, 2015. Tuition for the MBA and nursing programs is higher at $3,250 per term. Actual rates will vary depending on the number of terms needed to complete the program. Check the website for the most current tuition information.
WGU's financial aid experts are on hand to help you finance your education in the smartest way possible. 76% of WGU students receive some type of financial aid.

You'll be on your way to a successful career. A world of opportunity awaits.
As a nonprofit university, WGU doesn't need to benefit shareholders. Our students are our main concern. We also try to keep our operating costs low. And since we're an exclusively online university, we don't need to maintain expensive classroom buildings, a campus, and other non-academic programs.
Using financial aid is a personal decision. When making this decision, you should know that a degree is a great investment in yourself that will pay for itself many times over. Individuals with a bachelor's degree earn on average almost a million dollars more over the course their careers compared to those without one. A master's degree typically has a similar impact on your wallet. You should definitely consider federal financial aid if it means the difference between getting your degree or not.

People with gluten enteropathy or celiac disease cannot tolerate gliadin, a protein constituent of gluten, which is found in many grains.
The symptoms of celiac disease may initially appear after a baby is first given cereal containing wheat, barley, rye, buckwheat, or millet. Affected children are irritable. They grow and gain weight poorly, and perhaps even lose weight. They often have chronic diarrhea, although some may be constipated. They may vomit or have pale or foul-smelling stools.
This food intolerance is increasingly common, affecting about 1 in 80 to 1 in 300 children, but it can be difficult to diagnose. Symptoms may appear well after infancy. It tends to run in families and is most common in those of European and Middle Eastern descent.
The only treatment for celiac disease is strict, lifelong avoidance of cereals, pasta, breads, and baked goods made with grains containing gluten. Also, children with this disease need to stay away from commercially produced foods such as canned soups and stews thickened with processed grains and cereals. Even small amounts of gluten can cause symptoms in your child.
Your pediatrician will provide dietary advice and refer you to a dietitian for nutritional guidance. Many grocery stores and bakeries now sell gluten-free products (from breads to pasta) that can be built into a healthy eating plan, and many of these products include the term gluten free on their packaging. Also, because celiac disease symptoms are often similar to those of other medical conditions, your doctor may recommend diagnostic tests, such as blood tests to look for high levels of particular antibodies (specialized proteins in the immune system) or a biopsy that takes a tissue sample from the small intestine through a thin tube (endoscope). Because celiac disease can be a serious disorder and is a lifelong condition, diagnostic confirmation is necessary. Because this condition tends to occur in families, the family members of a child with celiac disease may decide to be tested as well, especially if there are unexplained medical problems.
