Comcast CEO Asked to Investigate MSNBC Bribe Allegation
by Judy Kent
Apology and On-Air Correction for False Allegations Made by MSNBC Host Rachel Maddow about the National Center for Public Policy Research Sought
Philadelphia PA/Washington, DC - Speaking at the annual shareholder meeting of Comcast, National Center General Counsel Justin Danhof has asked Comcast CEO Brian Roberts to explain why Comcast-owned MSNBC is run so unprofessionally, and about potentially libelous false statements about the National Center made on-air by MSNBC host Rachel Maddow on April 24.
In that broadcast, Maddow claimed the National Center had repeatedly "funnel[ed] cash and perks... to Members of Congress" for the purpose of affecting legislation.
In other words, bribery - a word Maddow did use in the segment.
"MSNBC's editorializing is frequently outlandish," said Amy Ridenour, chairman of the National Center and a long-time Comcast shareholder, "but there is a difference between an over-the-top editorial and a harmful lie expressed with reckless disregard for the truth. I have had check-signing authority at the National Center for our entire 30-year history, and I would know if we had ever once given cash to a Member of Congress, and we haven't. We don't even make campaign contributions, and we don't hand out perks to anybody to affect legislation, and never have. We've only sponsored Congressional travel for one Member of Congress in thirty years. Rachel Maddow's allegations are false, and I believe the network knew it had no evidence for them, yet broadcast them anyway."
At the shareholder meeting, Danhof asked Roberts, in part, "Mr. Roberts, on the April 24, 2012 broadcast of the Rachel Maddow show on MSNBC, Ms. Maddow accused the organization I am representing and by extension its longtime CEO, the shareholder I represent today, of "funnel[ing] cash and perks... to Members of Congress" to affect their position on legislation. If true, which it absolutely is not, this would constitute bribery, a fact about which your network is aware, as the word 'bribe' was used by Ms. Maddow in her segment. I am not here today to ask you to comment on this specific matter, as it may be subject to litigation, but to ask you about the fact-checking processes the company has in place to reduce the exposure of its shareholders to libel claims."
Danhof added, "Just using the public records, we have found other instances of potential libel. On March 23 and April 9, for example, your network falsely claimed the Koch brothers were connected to Trayvon Martin's death, and apparently you have refused to run a correction, even though unwarranted media attacks on the Kochs have resulted in death threats against individuals at their company. Mr. Roberts, why is this happening? Editorializing need not contain libel and NBC Universal is not a middle school operation - standard fact-checking should be in place at all times."
"MSNBC has to know that credible bribery allegations against Members of Congress get investigated by the Department of Justice," added Ridenour, "yet Rachel Maddow claimed we were - apparently routinely - bribing Congressmen for about ten years starting in the mid-1990s. Why were no Congressmen charged, let alone convicted? Why wasn't I charged, as the sole CEO during that time? The answer is that there was nothing to charge: MSNBC made it up. "
As a shareholder representative, Danhof also asked Roberts about other instances of MSNBC unprofessionalism: "Mr. Roberts, MSNBC personnel have a habit of making outlandish remarks and then, sometimes, withdrawing them. For example, Chris Matthews said Republican primary voters are comparable to Grand Wizards of the Ku Klux Klan, then, claimed he didn't mean to say it. Ed Schultz called Laura Ingraham a slut. Then, he apologized. But he has also claimed that Republicans want to see sick people die so they can make money off their corpses; that conservative commentators want to see Obama shot; and he said, of former Vice President Dick Cheney's heart, quote, We ought to rip it out, kick it around, and stuff it back in him, unquote. These would be shocking things for a drunk to say at a bar, Mr. Roberts, but they are being said by supposed professional journalists on your air and on your network. Why?"
Danhof further asked Roberts, "...Are MSNBC personnel unable to govern their own speech? Or is all this outlandish talk just a formal company tactic designed to boost your ratings? And what, if anything, does Comcast do to prevent libel exposure?"
Danhof also asked Roberts to investigate how MSNBC could falsely accuse a think-tank of bribery when a lack of criminal charges or convictions would have given a responsible journalist pause - or at least caused them to contact their target for rebuttal, which MSNBC did not do: "...Would you pledge to personally investigate how a think-tank such as ours, and multiple members of Congress, could be said to have committed multiple felonies without any evidence, indictments, plea agreements, or convictions? And I formally request an on-air correction and an apology for the lies told about the National Center for Public Policy Research on the April 24th 'Rachel Maddow' broadcast."
Roberts replied to Danhof, in total: "Thank you. I am not familiar with the April 24th broadcast, but I will tell you that we will look into it and we will get back to you. Thank you for your comments."
Following the meeting, Danhof reported, "Mr. Roberts claimed that he was not familiar with the April 24th broadcast of the Rachel Maddow show. He seemed sincere when he said when he said he would look into the issue and get back to me with all the information I requested. When another another questioner asked about MSNBC's anemic viewership in light of its far left-wing hosts, Roberts replied, 'that apparently some people are watching,' apparently in reference to disrespectful voices in the crowd that were yelling out that they loved MSNBC's programming."
A transcript of the Danhof-Roberts exchange can be found here and a recording of most of the exchange can be found here. Danhof's question as prepared for delivery can be found here.
Comcast is the majority owner of NBC Universal, which owns MSNBC. Danhof appeared at the meeting representing National Center Chairman Amy Ridenour, a long-time Comcast shareholder, and the National Center itself, also a shareholder.

Monsters Don't Eat Broccoli Art Project
Barbara Jean Hicks is a beloved children's book author from Port Hueneme, California. If you visit Barbara's website, you'll discover that she is not only a writer, but a lover of cats! I've had the pleasure of interviewing Barbara recently and as a tribute to her adorable book Monsters Don't Eat Broccoli my first graders created some very hungry monsters (full lesson tutorial below).
Patty: I love to read picture books to my students. They seem to like every kind of story. What sort of books did you enjoy as a child?
Barbara Jean: Love-love-LOVED Dr. Seuss! The silliness factor, both in the text and the illustrations, and the wonderful nonsense rhyme made me want to read them over and over. I also loved a picture book I can tell you a little about but not the title or author. Maybe somebody out there knows it? I'd love to find a copy! It was about a puppy named Timmy, and had as its refrain: "And there was Timmy—right spang in the middle of everything." I still love that word "spang." We also had a set of Childcraft books in our home when I was growing up, and I especially loved the poetry volumes. My favorite authors as a middle grade reader were C.S.Lewis and Madeleine L'Engle. I was very much a reader of fiction and poetry and didn't read much nonfiction. I've always felt that good fiction is in some ways "truer" than nonfiction because it speaks to the heart.
Patty: You sound just like me! I adored reading as a girl. Is this love what inspired you to become a writer?
Barbara Jean: My fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Green, started me on my writing path. We were studying westward expansion in social studies, and she gave us an assignment to pretend we were a child in a wagon train and write a diary of our journey on the Oregon Trail. I must have written 30-35 single-spaced pages, and I'd never had so much fun. Thank you, Mrs. Green, wherever you are!
Patty: Many people would love to write a picture book. I know I would! Can you describe your path to publication?
Barbara Jean: I was newly married and living far from home, my husband was working full time and going to school, and I was lonely! So I signed up for a "writing for publication" class at the local adult school. It was a good introduction to what it takes for a writer to become a published author. I met a friend there who had been trying without success to get a romance novel published. She liked the writing I was sharing in class and asked if I would help her revise her novel for a new market that was opening up. I did, and we sold it in six weeks. We wrote another book together, and she decided she wanted to write on her own. It took me several years, but eventually I too started writing romance novels of my own. That lasted until a particularly snarky reviewer said of one of my books: "Ms. Hicks really ought to be writing for children–no one else could appreciate such silliness." Ouch! I crawled into bed, pulled the covers over my head, and swore I'd never write again. Then the light bulb went on. Maybe I SHOULD try writing for children. Maybe that's where my best gifts lay. So thank you, Mr. Reviewer, wherever you are! It didn't happen immediately, though. My first attempt, a story based on my cat, sat in my drawer for a long time and eventually, in a much different form than the original, became my fourth published children's book, The Secret Life of Walter Kitty. My second attempt, Jitterbug Jam, became my first published picture book–but it took 22 rejections before an editor at Random House in London read it and fell in love. I sold two more books to her, I Like Colors and I Like Black and White, but she didn't love Walter Kitty! I was fortunate to have Walter critiqued at an SCBWI event in Seattle by an editor at Knopf, and she invited me to revise it based on her comments and send it to her. She also became my editor for Monsters Don't Eat Broccoli. Sometimes it's pure luck that a manuscript lands in the right hands–but we can improve our chances by taking opportunities and persevering.
Patty: You mentioned that you loved art and would like to illustrate your own picture book someday. What type of art do you like to create?
Barbara Jean: My style is more graphic than painterly and I really enjoy making what I call cut paper applique. I've created several images of the black and white cat who inspired The Secret Life of Walter Kitty that I use to market my school visits and student publishing services. I like bright solids and I also enjoy using wallpaper prints for my illustration work.
Patty: Is there an illustrator whose work you admire?
Barbara Jean: Many! Oldies but goodies: Dr. Seuss, Maurice Sendak, Quentin Blake. Current: Chris Van Allsburg, Brian Selznik and Shaun Tan's pencil work is amazing–something I don't think I could do in a million years! Then there's Diane and Leo Dillon, Julie Larios, Kevin Hawkes, Laura Vaccaro Seeger–stop me! I've also been extremely blessed with the illustrators chosen for my own books–Alexis Deacon, Lila Prap, Dan Santat and Sue Hendra. Their styles are all extremely different but each is so well suited to the text he/she illustrated.
Patty: If you could spend an entire day doing just one thing, what would it be?
Barbara Jean: Traveling through the Tuscan countryside–which really is more than one thing because you have to stop so many places along the way to eat, drink and be merry! It's a magical place.
Patty: Wow! Thank you so much Barbara Jean! I am so inspired by your writer's journey.

Monsters Don't Eat Broccoli Art Project
Monsters are a favorite subject for any art project but espcially for first graders. I read Monster Don't Eat Broccoli to the students and decided that skyscrapers would make a fantastic backdrop for our hungry monsters. Set aside three, 45-minute art classes for this beauty.
- 12″ x 18″ white drawing paper for background
- 12″ x 18″ colored construction paper for monster
- Oil pastels (black and colored)
- White, red and green tempera paint (or any color of your choice)
- paper towel rolls cut into sections
- Colored paper scraps
- Liquid watercolors

Martin Markcrow Architects has received planning permission for a new two-storey penthouse to be located above an existing four-storey building on Wandsworth High Street, London. Located within the Wandsworth Town Conservation Area, the scheme has been endorsed by English Heritage and incorporates refurbishment work to the façade of the existing 1920's building and the ground floor Ferrari showroom. The 2,400 ft2 apartment for a private client will be pre-fabricated by a modular construction company in Slovenia, and transported in five modules to London where it will be craned into position over a 2-3 day period, before connection to the existing services and stairwell. Modular construction was the ideal solution for this project as it avoids noise and dust pollution to existing tenants as well as being able to conduct quality inspections in controlled conditions.

Phylum: | Chordata |
Class: | Mammalia |
Order: | Artiodactyla |
Family: | Bovidae |
Subfamily: | Caprinae |
Genus: | Ovis |

Ovis ammon (Linnaeus, 1758) |
Range of the argali subspecies |
The argali, or the mountain sheep (species Ovis ammon) is a wild sheep that roams the highlands of Central Asia (Himalaya, Tibet, Altay).
It is the largest species of wild sheep. The North American bighorn sheep may approach comparable weights but is normally considerably outsized by the argali. Argali stand 85 to 135 cm (3 to 4 ft) high at the shoulder and measure 136 to 200 cm (4 to 7 ft) long from the head to the base of the tail. The female, or ewe is the smaller sex by a considerable margin, sometimes weighing less than half as much as the male, or ram. The ewes can weigh from 43.2 to 100 kg (95 to 220 lb) and the rams typically from 97 to 328 kg (214 to 723 lb), with a maximum reported mass of 356 kg (785 lb). The Pamir argali (also called Marco Polo sheep, for they were first described by that traveler), O. a. polii, is the largest race on average, regularly measuring more than 180 cm (5.9 ft) long without the tail, and is less sexually dimorphic in body mass than most other subspecies. The argali has relatively the shortest tail of any wild goat-antelope or sheep, with reported tail lengths of 9.5–17 cm (3.7–6.7 in).
The general coloration varies between each animal, from a light yellow to a reddish-brown to a dark grey-brown. Argali or nyan from the Himalayas are usually relatively dark, whereas those from Russian ranges are often relatively pale. In summertime, the coat is often lightly spotted with a salt-and-pepper pattern. The back is darker than the sides, which gradually lighten in color. The face, tail and the buttocks are yellowish-white. The male has a whitish neck ruff and a dorsal crest and is usually slightly darker in color than the female. Males have two large corkscrew horns, some measuring 190 cm (6.2 ft) in total length and weighing up to 23 kg (51 lb). Males use their horns for competing with one another. Females also carry horns, but they are much smaller, usually measuring less than 50 cm (20 in) in total length.
Subspecies and classification[edit]
Currently, 9 subspecies of argali are recognized:[2]
- Altai argali, O. a. ammon
- Karaganda argali, O. a. collium
- Gobi argali, O. a. darwini
- Tibetan argali, O. a. hodgsoni
- North China argali, O. a. jubata
- Tian Shan argali, O. a. karelini
- Kara Tau argali, O. a. nigrimontana
- Marco Polo argali, O. a. polii
- Severtzov argali, O. a. severtzovi
Some sources classify mouflon as Ovis ammon musimon, but DNA testing has not supported this. Several subspecies of argali have been genetically tested for mtDNA and one study found the subspecies O. a. ammon, O. a. darwini and the urial subspecies, O. vignei bochariensis grouped closely, while the subspecies O. a. collium and O. a. nigrimontana grouped with the urial subspecies O. vignei arkal.[3]
Range and habitat[edit]
Argali range from central Kazakhstan in the west to the Shanxi Province in China in the east and from the Altai Mountains in the north to the Himalayas to the south. They are a species of mountainous areas, living from elevations of 300 to 5,800 m (980 to 19,030 ft). In protected areas, the species generally prefers gently sloping areas with soft broken terrain, although ewes with lambs often take up residence in more precipitous areas, characterized by canyons and jagged rocks. In areas where they are extensively hunted (such as Kazakhstan), they are more likely to be found in forested areas. In parts of China and Russia where they compete for resources with numerous domestic stock, argali more regularly take up residence in precipitous, jagged areas. Argali may search for regions in the mountains where snow cover is not heavy during the winter, following winds that blow snow off the earth. Rams are generally found at higher elevations more regularly than females and stay at higher elevations longer during the winter.[2]
Life history[edit]
Argalis live in herds typically numbering between two and 150 animals, segregated by sex, except during breeding season. Most populations show large numbers of adult females, constituting more than half of a local population, against around 20% adult males and a further 20% young argali. Some rams are solitary, but most are seen in small herds numbering between three and 30 individuals. Females and their young live in larger groups, regularly up to 92 individuals and exceptionally to 200 animals. Migrating herds, especially males, have been reported. Most migration appear to be related to seasonally decreased food sources, though an overabundance of biting insects (especially gadflies), severe drought or fires, poaching by humans, and large numbers of domestic livestock may also trigger movements. With their long legs, herds can travel quickly from place to place. Argali tend to live at higher elevations during the summer.[2]
Argali reach breeding maturity at two to three years of age. Rutting may occur from October to mid-January, generally lasting longer in lower elevations. In rutting herds, both rams and ewes attack others of their own sex, exerting dominance by ramming each other with their horns. Although such groups engage in lamb-like play, the combat of a pair of mature males is a serious business. The rams slam into each other, with their fore legs up in the air, exerting enough force to be heard up to 800 m (2,600 ft) away. Often, the older males (over six years of age), which are also often the largest, end up the dominant ones and younger males are chased off once the ewes are in estrus. Once dominance is established, the top rams begin approaching ewes and smell their urine to determine their receptiveness. The ram then repeatedly approaches the ewe and forceably mounts her. Mating commences around two to three weeks after the rutting begins. Rams may remain in the company of ewes for up to two months after the rutting period is complete.[2]
The gestation period lasts a little over 165 days. Births occur in late March or April, with a variable number of females being barren. Most subspecies give birth to a single lamb, though in some races, twins are not uncommon and even as many as five have been born at once. At birth, the lambs weigh 2.7–4.6 kg (6.0–10.1 lb). The newborn lamb and mother ewe stay around where the birth occurs overnight and, on the next day, both usually walk together. Lambs often play in groups, jumping up and down together, sometimes being joined by their mothers. Weight gain is often quite fast and the lambs may weigh 10 times their birth weight by their first birthday. Females often attain their maximum mass by two years of age, but males appear to continue to grow larger and heavier in their third and fourth years. Milk teeth develop around three months of age, with a full set of teeth developing by around six months. By the time their teeth develop, lambs are capable grazers, but the ewes continue nursing them from August to May of the following year. Most argali live five to 10 years, but are capable of living 13 years in the wild.[2]
Adult argali eat 16–19 kg (35–42 lb) of food a day. The vegetation preferred by the species varies based on elevation and area. In higher elevations, they predominantly eat grasses, sedges, and forbs. At midelevation habitats, they more regularly feed on bushes and mesophyte grasses. In the lowest ranges and the spurs of deserts, grasses and sedges again predominate, but often of different species than the high-elevation ones. In north-central Kazakhstan, sprouts, leaves, flowers, and fruits are significant to the diet all year, whereas they appear to be a rare dietary supplement over the rest of the range. Water is needed by argali, which is rarely a problem for animals living at high elevation, where melting snow and small waterways are regularly encountered. In drier climes, argali may travel several kilometers in search of water. When available, argali readily consume saline soil.[2]
Although they are locally sympatric with Siberian ibex, the two species have differing habitat and pasture preferences, reducing likely competition. In Tibet, the argali must regularly compete with other grazing species for pasture, including Tibetan antelope, bharal, Thorold's deer and wild yaks. Competition is most serious with livestock, especially domestic yak and domestic sheep, with which argali are frequently forced to intermingle and from which they often catch diseases and parasites. The main predator of argali are gray wolves, which often exploit harsh winter conditions (such as deep snow) to capture the wild sheep, though they can and do take specimens of any age or condition year around. Where not locally extirpated, snow leopards and leopards are also predators of argali of any age. Eurasian lynx and wolverines may seldom kill argali to at least the size of winter-weakened ewes. Red foxes and domestic dogs (largely those kept by sheep-herders) will prey on lambs. Cinereous vultures, lammergeiers and golden eagles have been observed circling herds of ewes with lambs in a possibly predatory manner and remains of argali lambs have been observed in golden eagle nests. Smaller predators, such as raptorial birds and smaller mammalian carnivores, are attacked by mother ewes, but in the presence of larger predators, the ewes quickly run away with the lambs following them.[2]
Argali are considered an endangered or threatened species throughout their entire range, due largely to habitat loss from overgrazing of domestic sheep and hunting. As the world's largest sheep, the lure to gather a trophy specimen is strong among sports-hunters. They are hunted for both their meat and their horns, used in traditional Chinese medicine, and poaching continues to be a major (and difficultly managed) problem. Argali have been extirpated from northeastern China, southern Siberia, and parts of Mongolia. Populations of predators such as gray wolves and snow leopards have appeared to have been negatively affected by the scarcity of argali.[4]
In Pakistan-administered Kashmir it is listed as an endangered species.[citation needed]

Design is nice to me. Isolation is pretty good, but comfort is a hit or miss for me. Took me a while to find the right fitting with the supplied pieces. My music source is..." --snellemin

"Home away from home"
This was one of the best experiences ever. I felt more comfortable than I do in my own home. This place had everything you could ask for, and thensome. Whether it was a pan, a tv on the wall, the hot tub, a fire pit!!! To top it all off a place for my dogs to run around and be fenced in and safe. This truly had it all. Not only am I am going to be coming back here, I plan on staying no where else if possible. I was here a full month and was not bored so I am sure anything less would be amazing as well. I just felt like I was not coming back to a hotel room at the end of the day, I felt I had all the comforts of home. Cook my own meals, shop for food, play with the dogs in the yard, star gaze from the hot tub at night. To include the red rocks pass was just icing on the cake! They really thought of everything. Dealing with the owners was great. So pleasant and easy going. The worst part about this was leaving and seeing that the place is pretty booked up in the near future, I want to come back!!!
"Beautiful, cozy, clean home in a great location"
We recently rented this house while on vacation and had a wonderful stay there. There was 4 of us (3 adults and 1 child) and we had plenty of room as the house is very spacious. We did a lot of searching on the internet for houses to rent and we were so lucky to have found this one. Not only is the house beautiful, it was very reasonably priced and the owners were an absolute pleasure to rent from. The pictures posted look nice but we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the home how beautiful it was. The owners have truly thought of everything to make this a very comfortable home and we really felt like it was a home away from home. The master bedroom is really big with a huge walk in closet and a beautiful ensuite bathroom. The other 2 bedrooms are really nice and all of the beds are really comfortable and the shower is awesome! The living room and dining room seating is very comfy and cozy and the gas fireplace is a perfect added touch. The fireplace looks so much nicer than what the picture shows. The kitchen is beautiful and very functional and there is plenty of room for sitting, cooking and socializing. We loved the outdoor patio, it was so peaceful sitting out there and watching the hummingbirds in the morning. The backyard is really big which was great for our son to play in and it is all fenced in. Although we never made use of the hottub or outdoor firepit it is truly a great feature for guests. The house is located in a really nice residential area and close to everything we needed. There is so much to see and do in Sedona we wished that we had more time to have enjoyed everything. As a family who was nervous renting a home from the internet, we can not say enough positive things about our experience with the owners and all that their home has to offer. We would highly recommend renting this home and we can not wait to do so again in the future.

Review Title: Wonderful Sedona house
Review Body: My husband and I loved our week stay at this wonderful, comfortable and very clean home. It's .3 miles off 89A which is perfect, no traffic or noise yet it is less than a 5 min. walk to restaurants. We spent our entire week hiking & climbing the "red rocks" in Sedona. The scenery is breath taking. Anita is a wonderful person to work with. The next time we go to Sedona, we'll be staying here again. I'll make every effort to meet Anita & Doug. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Perfectly located and easy to walk to local shops! I would surely stay here again!

Review Title: A Sedona Home Away From Home
Review Body: This was a fantastic place to stay. It's close (walking distance) to many local amenities such as movie theaters, banks, grocery stores, DOG Park. Many trail heads within warmup distance of this great home. Fantastic Sedona sunsets can be see from either end of the block and a great Sunset Vortex site is a short walk away. Probably don't need a car if your into hiking. Flagstaff a picturesque hours drive to the North, artsy beautiful Jerome a half hour west and Phoenix within an hour and a half.

Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein cuts 30-second spot for group pushing same-sex marriage, arguing 'equality is just good business.'
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein has recorded a commercial endorsing the right to same-sex marriage, becoming one of the highest profile corporate executives to weigh in on the controversial campaign.
In the 30-second spot recorded for the Human Rights Campaign, a national group pushing for equal rights for gays, lesbians, bisexual and transgender people, Blankfein identifies himself as CEO of Goldman and says he supports marriage equality.
"America's corporations learned long ago that equality is just good business and is the right thing to do," he said. (Gays lose big on taxes)
The Human Rights Campaign heralded his statement as an important turning point in the same-sex marriage debate.
"Lloyd Blankfein is not someone average Americans would think is going to support marriage equality," said Fred Sainz, vice president for communications and marketing at the group. "The green visor crowd is not typically associated with socially progressive policies, and this is further proof that a diversity of Americans are coming to the same conclusion."
New York, home to Goldman Sachs, legalized same sex marriage last summer. And the firm, which ranked 33rd on Fortune magazine's most recent ranking of Best Companies to Work For, already has a non-discrimination policy in place that includes sexual orientation.
But Goldman (GS, Fortune 500) is also a hot-button target of those who criticize Wall Street and huge executive salaries, such as the liberal Occupy Wall Street movement. The average salary for a Goldman employee was $367,057 in 2011, according to its most recent earnings statement.
Blankfein has taken his share of personal hits during the debate about Wall Street dollars, the 2009 financial meltdown and the federal bailout of big banks, such as when he told a London newspaper in 2009 that he was just "doing God's work."

Myasthenia Gravis |
Polio and myasthenia02/07/2008 |
My mother and aunt both had polio when they were young. Could this have anything to do with me getting myasthenia gravis?
Polio is viral infection of the motor neurons (muscle nerves). I have found no reports of maternal transmission of susceptibility to myasthenia gravis due to polio exposure. It would be more likely if your mother had some other autoimmune disease, like rheumatoid arthritis or Crohn's.

Content Types in Drupal 7
Now that you have installed Drupal 7, the next thing we would like to teach you is how to write content. You can think of content as text you will publish to your website, whether it be an About Us type page or a page with the latest news about your business.
There can be different types of content you can write. The default installation of Drupal 7 includes the following two types of content:
- Articles
- Basic Pages
Articles | Basic Pages |
Articles in Drupal 7 can be thought of as news and announcements. This is content that you publish frequently, and the time or frequency that you publish the content is important. | Basic pages in Drupal 7 is content that is more permanent, such as an About Us type page. Sure, you can edit your About Us page whenever you would like, but it is generally not a page that you would remove from your navigation, such as a news item. |
There are more content types that you can create in Drupal 7, but Articles and Basic Pages are the only ones that are ready for you to use right now. As we progress further into our Drupal 7 education channel, we'll cover other content types more in depth.
Now that we covered the basics on Articles vs. Basic Pages, let's now look into how to create them:
- How to create a basic page
- How to create an article

Hello Bkupadhyay,
Thanks for the question. I spent a little time looking for how you can set access control on a child category for a content type and it doesn't appear to any way to do this without adding a module. The module I'm looking at (content access) may provide the answer that you need. Let us know if you still require any further assistance. Arnel C. |

Hello wolfgang,
We are happy to help, but will need further details to investigate further. I saw you posted this comment in the Drupal 7 section, are you using Drupal 7? What button do you want to change or reactivate? Are you getting an error? What is the error? Did you perform any updates or maintenance before this issue occurred? Can you provide a link to the website, so we can replicate/view the error? If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below. Thank you, -John-Paul |

Hello Wolfgang,
Thank you for your question. I am unable to see into your account since you are not one of our customers, but I will try and give you the best information for what it seems is going on. Creating a Basic Page - This article will display Menu Settings for your page. This will also show when editing the page. Set the Parent Item to the Main Menu and the button should appear next to the Veterinary medicine button on your site. I am not showing the site in maintenance mode, so if you are still seeing that, check your browser cache to see if it is clear. However, below is our link on enabling/disablign maintenance mode, so just be sure that is correct. Enabling Maintenance mode Kindest Regards, Scott M |
