Agreed it's not perfect, but is at this time the most viable solution available. Sure, one can scan at the wall/gateway, but, that's more imperfect a solution at this point in time, not to mention the possible bottlenecking that can most likely ensue. But as for this leaving "HUGE scurity holes", I'd certainly like to see you clarify that statement a tad <smile>...

Teaching Music in Latin America
Teaching Music in Latin America
Duration: from 5 Months
Countries: Ecuador
If you are up to the challenge of helping a variety of different students whilst learning a new language and becoming immersed in a completely different culture then Ecuador is for you. Volunteers will attend a one or two week language course in Quito before starting their placements. Ecuador is unique among our programmes in that it offers each volunteer the chance to work at two placements each day, perhaps teaching in the mornings and working with street children in the afternoons. This gives you the chance to make a difference to two distinct communities during your time in Ecuador. We have opportunities to work with children n young adults teaching music. Any instruments or singing will be greatly appreciated by the local commnity! Placements will also require volunteers to help with Englisg teaching too. So if you are looking for a varied role in Latin America this could be for you! All applicants are matched to placements to ensure that there is a good fit between the volunteer and their host communities.

Student engagement
Research As CUNY's flagship campus for science and engineering, CCNY has a strong foundation in conducting research related to the environment, sustainability, and energy. It is home to several research institutes that investigate issues in these disciplines, including the NOAA Cooperative Remote Sensing Science and Technology Center; the Center for Water Resources and Environmental Research; and the Institute for Municipal Waste Research. In addition, several faculty members have research interests in these areas and are actively conducting their own investigations. With the addition of key faculty to The Grove School of Engineering, new research institutes on sustainability are being developed on our campus. They include the CUNY Energy Institute, and the CUNY Environmental Crossroads Initiative. These programs not only advance knowledge and train graduate students, they are also designed to involve undergraduates in research, particularly those from historically under-represented groups, as a way to encourage them to pursue advanced studies. The Solar Roofpod investigated the reuse of space in dense urban environments, harnessing the power of the sun to produce clean energy, recycling storm water, and developing rooftop gardens. The prototype exercises an example of eco-conscious living through modern technology and engineering. Extensive research on efficient energy management, landscape irrigation, and energy-saving heating and cooling systems collectively illustrate CCNY's research on sustainable urban living. Construction of the CUNY-CCNY Science Research Center on our campus, and CCNY's new status as a Ph.D. granting institution give us and edge in attracting top faculty, graduate students, and research funding. Learn about green Research centers at CCNY:
For more information on the lecture series visit the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture web site.
Community development and training Community sustainability-related programs include a neighborhood beautification project through the Charles B. Rangel Center for Public Service. This project involves CCNY and Harlem CREW High School students working together to create a garden in a vacant lot on 140th Street between Lenox and Adam Clayton Powell Avenues. In addition, The Colin Powell Center for Policy Studies offers a Community Engagement Fellowship for undergraduates of any discipline or major to design and carry out a project that addresses community needs in a sustainable way. The program seeks students who are involved with their communities, who value awareness of community concerns, and who hope to advocate for positive change through ongoing work with community organizations and leaders. Also, CCNY's Office of Continuing and Professional Studies (CPS) offers "green" training through online courses in partnership with Noble Strategy and Pro Train Online. Learn more about the Colin L. Powell Center for Policy Studies. Urban and governmental affairs CCNY is an active participant in the affairs of the Upper Manhattan communities that surround the campus, which include the neighborhoods of Harlem, Washington Heights, and Inwood. CCNY engages members of these communities through a variety of opportunities for promoting sustainable practices. Our involvement includes helping residents shred documents and encouraging recycling. CCNY's lecture halls, dining halls, and other facilities are often used as venues for events hosted by community groups. These events present an opportunity to educate and encourage participants to adopt sustainability practices that keep the neighborhood green. In addition, through the Urban Scholars and Upward Bound programs at CCNY, we can educate middle school and high school students about sustainability by encouraging them to spread their awareness with a "green" message to family and friends. This can be achieved by integrating hands-on experience, such as field trips, into the curriculum. Also, CCNY can participate in community events that promote sustainability, or are organized by local environmental organizations. Faculty and students are encouraged to participate in community sustainable activities. In Spring 2011, for example, CCNY's Division of Science students were involved in a Health and Wellness Service Learning Class that hosts a Farmers Market to provide fresh produce and teach the community about the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.

Motorcycle accessory shop rides into Marysville
LOCATION: 406 D St., Marysville.
HOURS: 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Tuesday to Saturday.
RIBBON CUTTING: 5:30 p.m. Thursday.
American Riderz in Marysville will celebrate its opening with a ribbon cutting on Thursday. The store, at 406 D St., offers street motorcycle apparel, accessories and gifts.
Co-owners Nico Frye and Jerry Young, both avid bikers, opened the store on July 1.
"Being motorcycle enthusiasts, there was really nothing in this area as far as buying riding accessories other than at the Harley store," said Young, who lives in Marysville but grew up in Grass Valley. "We wanted to give people an alternative to the Harley brand — nothing against Harley."
The shop carries an assortment of helmets — mostly skull-cap and half-shell helmets, both novelty and DOT-approved, including German-style helmets. There's also boots, leather, riding gloves, saddlebags, doo-rags, jewelry, T-shirts, hats, patches, knives, tools and more.
Common biker themes of skulls, "Love to Live, Live to Love," POW/MIA, Southern Comfort, Jimi Hendrix, Grateful Dead and other tokens of rebellion and noncomformity run through the apparel, patches and other accessories.
They are starting to get into selling power tools, such as the Makita brand. Customers can also place orders for items not in the store. Free copies of the biker magazine Thunder Roads are on the counter.
Frye, who was born in Yuba City, is retired after working as a dispatcher for a trucking company in Auburn; he manages the store three days per week.Young, who has a regular job, mans the shop on Fridays. Frye's wife, Jackie, staffs the business on Saturdays. All three serve as buyers of inventory.
Why did they decide to locate their shop in downtown Marysville? "(Young) lives over here and he's the one who came up with the idea," said Frye. "I live in Carmichael. It started out that I was just going to work here — then I became a partner."
With Jackie filling in on Saturdays, it frees up Nico and Jerry to attend biker events on weekends.
"We're both bikers. We ride a lot. We go to different events — toy runs, poker runs, turkey runs, swap meets, the Street Vibrations event in Nevada — and we take advantage of that. Whatever they have going, we go to. We know a lot of people. We support a lot of clubs and their events," said Frye. He added that he and Young went to the famed Sturgis rally in South Dakota last year.
The ribbon cutting, sponsored by the Yuba-Sutter Chamber of Commerce, is slated at 5:30 p.m. at the business.

Auditing Complex Estimates: Understanding the Process Used and Problems EncounteredEmily E. GriffithUniversity of Georgia - J. M. Tull School of Accounting Jacqueline S. HammersleyUniversity of Georgia - J.M. Tull School of Accounting Kathryn KadousEmory University - Goizueta Business School January 2013 Abstract: Accounting estimates are increasingly important to companies' financial statements; however, they require a different audit approach than accounts with verifiable historical balances. We interview 24 very experienced auditors to discover how they audit complex estimates and what problems they experience in the process. Although auditing standards allow three approaches to estimates, auditors overwhelmingly choose to audit the details of management's estimate. They rarely choose to create an independent expectation or rely on subsequent events. The steps auditors describe and the language they use to describe the steps indicate that they follow a process of verifying individual elements of management's assertions on a piecemeal basis, rather than engaging in a critical analysis of the overall estimate, resulting in over-reliance on management's process. The problems that auditors identify are consistent with this view, indicating that auditors sometimes fail to understand management's process for generating the estimate, fail to adequately test the underlying data and assumptions, fail to notice inconsistencies among the estimate and other internal data or external conditions, and over-rely on specialists to identify, evaluate, and challenge critical assumptions. We identify standards' and firms' emphasis on verifying management's model and audit firms' chosen division of knowledge between auditors and specialists as root causes of these problems. Institutional theory predicts these conventions arise from firms extending use of procedures and processes that are legitimate in one area (i.e., auditing accounts without uncertainty) to a new area (i.e., auditing complex estimates), even though they are less effective in the new area. We argue that these conventions thwart auditors' good-faith attempts to engage in skeptical analysis of estimates, and we make suggestions for future research aimed at improving audit quality in this important area.

Developing: Pakistani Plane Escorted by UK Fighter Jets — 2 Men Arrested
Doc Thompson's 24-hour radio marathon, '#24forok,' continues until 9 am ET — Listen Live!
UK Foster Couple Lose Children for Being Members of Conservative Party
A UK couple had their three foster children taken away after social workers decided that the couple's support for the supposedly "racist" policies of the UK Independence Party (Ukip) made them "unsuitable" caregivers, The Telegraph reports.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Ukip, it's the conservative wing of British politics. If you want an understanding of the group's principles, look no further than Nigel Farage, founding member and party leader:
"It is total and utter failure. This ship, the euro Titanic has now hit the iceberg and sadly there simply aren't enough life boats," said Farage, an infamously skeptical critic of the eurozone, to the European Parliament.
The Ukip advocates lower taxes, limited government, freer markets, and immigration reform. However, to certain social workers in the Labour-controlled Rotherham borough, supporting the above makes you an "unsuitable" foster parent.
The parents claim they were made to feel like criminals and that they had a "black mark" on them for supporting the conservative group. And now it has culminated in the loss of their foster children, one boy and two girls.
Unsurprisingly, Farage unloaded on the Rotherham borough's decision to take the children away, calling it "a bloody outrage" and "political prejudice of the very worst kind."
Tim Loughton, the former children's minister, agrees with Farage.
"I will be very concerned if decisions have been made about the children's future that were based on misguided political correctness around ethnic considerations," he said.
"Being a supporter of a mainstream political party is not a deal-breaker when it comes to looking after children if it means they can have a loving family home," he added.
The foster couple wishes to remain anonymous because they don't want the children they cared for being involved. However, it has been revealed that they are both in their 50s, the husband is a retired Royal Navy reservist of more than 30 years who currently works with disabled people, and the wife is a "qualified nursery nurse."
It is also being reported that they have spent seven years acting as foster parents and have looked after about a dozen different children.
So let's do a quick recap: The husband spent three decades as a reservist in the Royal Navy and currently works with disabled people. The wife is a qualified nursery nurse. The two of them have cared for dozens of children in the past seven years. But they're "unfit" to act as foster parents now because they support a conservative political group?
That's "tolerance."
The Telegraph describes the moment when the couple were visited by the anti-Ukip social worker:
… they received a visit out of the blue from the children's social worker at the Labour-run council and an official from their fostering agency.
They were told that the local safeguarding children team had received an anonymous tip-off that they were members of Ukip.
An anonymous tip?
"I was dumbfounded. Then my question to both of them was, 'What has Ukip got to do with having the children removed?'" the wife said in the recent Telegraph article.
"Then one of them said, 'Well, Ukip have got racist policies.' The implication was that we were racist. [The social worker] said Ukip does not like European people and wants them all out of the country to be returned to their own countries," she said.
"I'm sat there and I'm thinking, 'What the hell is going off here?' because I wouldn't have joined Ukip if they thought that. I've got mixed race in my family. I said, 'I am absolutely offended that you could come in my house and accuse me of being a member of a racist party.'"
The wife continued: "These kids have been loved. These kids have been treated no differently to our own children. We wouldn't have taken these children on if we had been racist."
But despite her words, the boy was taken away the next day and the two girls were removed at the end of the week.
The wife said the social worker told her: "We would not have placed these children with you had we known you were members of Ukip because it wouldn't have been the right cultural match."
The wife said she was left "bereft," adding: "We felt like we were criminals. From having a little baby in my arms, suddenly there was an empty cot. I knew she wouldn't have been here forever, but usually there is a build-up of several weeks. I was in tears."
Her husband added: "If we were moving the children on to happier circumstances we would be feeling warm and happy. To have it done like that, it's beyond the pale."
A spokesman for Rotherham metropolitan borough council issued the following statement on the matter:
After a group of sibling children were placed with agency foster carers, issues were raised regarding the long-term suitability of the carers for these particular children.
With careful consideration, a decision was taken to move the children to alternative care. We continue to keep the situation under review.
But "review" or not, Ukip party leader Farage is furious with the decision.
"I am outraged politically and very upset for them. I think this is the kind of thing where we need some sort of decree from a Government minister that Ukip is not a racist party," Farage said.
David Goosey, the chairman of the trustees at Community Foster care, an independent fostering charity, said:
If this is accurate and there are no other extraneous matters that have concerned the authorities, then it is completely ridiculous and no self-respecting authority should be stopping people fostering on the grounds of their membership of Ukip.

Posted on November 24, 2012 at 11:28amNo kidding. Just think of all the things your doctor will be required assess now that Obamacare is a done deal.
Are there guns in your house? Are there children in your house?
Guess what? According to the rules handed down from above, you're creating a dangerous environment for your children to live in. It doesn't matter if a child can't access any guns because they're locked up. No ! No ! No ! They "might". And that's all that matters to flag you as unfit to be a parent and call in child protective services.

Posted on November 24, 2012 at 11:52amAs it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return! -

Don't forget the Muslim neighborhoods in the UK where they post signs "Sharia Law Enforcement Zone" in areas & the police don't go in there. The Britts were able to turn back Hitler, but they are allowing their country to be taken over right before their eyes. Churchill must be rolling over in his grave.
Posted on November 24, 2012 at 1:14pmTalk about social engineering. They will take kids away from conservative parents, but give kids to gay parents. This world is so F'd up thanks to liberalism.
Posted on November 24, 2012 at 1:15pmThis story enrages me beyond words. If such were to happen to me I would become a cold implacable person, a creature of vengeance.
I would let a week pass, and let things get settled down.
If after that week, my children were not returned to me I would go hunting. Everyone involved in abduction of my children, and I would not stop until they took me down, which they eventually would.
But this is beyond the pale, and some things are worth dying for.
If my little "escapade" did nothing more than put a tinge of fear in the "public servants" that did this sort of thing, and perhaps made them think a little more critically before stealing someones child, I would consider my sacrifice more than worth it.
When the State becomes a monster that can take your children for these reasons then it's time for new leadership, and perhaps a new system.
If this is what the world is coming too, then there is no place for me.

Posted on November 24, 2012 at 1:34pm@John17whatever. You're a big idiot. I was hoping Obama would have arrested you all by now and taken your guns and locked you up in bigot jail. But it hasn't happened. Why? Because you all are morons and couldn't hit water falling out of a boat, and none of the GOP predictions have happened. Besides republicans hate Lincoln. I've read the comments on this site. Get lost loser.
Posted on November 24, 2012 at 1:34pmJumbo, the bullies wil keep bullying as long as we cry. I know it's hard to do, especially in a case like this, but I've learned to wish the well, leave them alone, offer no help, and let their bad decisions bite them in the **** for me. Bully back. Use their socialism against them, whenever you are in a position of holding the bully stick, claim power and decide what's 'fair' to your advantage and benefit. 'Fair' is subjective and based on the decision of who's in charge. Whenever you're in charge, be 'fair' and make the deal best for yourself. Leave them crying, for once.
On a another note, nextdoor to me is a house with cars pulling in and out of the drive every fifteen minutes, no one in the house works, two intrained, intact male pit bulls and three foster kids.
The government doesn't want responsible foster parents, they need those kids to vote for the government party.

Posted on November 24, 2012 at 1:48pmUm, some of you chest beaters do realize the children weren't the biological offspring of the couple in question? By all means, give the leftists what they want: Just the mere threat of a kill-crazy rampage… to prove a point. That'll show 'em you were the best person for the task of caring for children!
This is not about racism. This is about control thru manipulation and intimidation. This is about asserting state ownership of children. This is about an abuse of power. You don't give these wizards EXACTLY what they want; you shame them and make them answer for their words and actions. Ya know… behave like an adult in a civil society (unlike the intolerant bullies).
The WORST possible thing any well-meaning foster parent could do is show his or her **** in an emotional, criminal tirade.
So instead of rising above this trial and proving who the better (and saner) man is, it's time to wage your own personal war against social services. Are you SURE you wanna borrow a play from the Tim McVeigh handbook? -

Posted on November 24, 2012 at 3:35pmIn reply to Ranger1965, I can not state how well you've summed up my exact thoughts, it does appear things are at the end for anything just in this world. Have you read Anthem by Ayn Rand? In this book the ignorant are given the highest positions and the intelligent are given the lowest of jobs, just to show them for being smarter (in a short, very short and limited summary). This is where it appears we are going to. I'm saddened by this state we our in and the fact I actually brought children in this world to have to endure also. I don't know how to fix it except for to hide, LOL, but really I think we have come to the time to not let others know what we have when it concerns items such as food, weapons and opinions.
Posted on November 24, 2012 at 3:38pmI've given up and now am embracing my inner "racist" traits. I freely use terms such as "black Friday", "white knuckle ride", "in the black", "white elephant", I have been known to chew "Red Man" tobacco, I call police cars "black & whites", I would be up to trying a "Black Russian", "blackened steak" is delicious although I don't care much for "black eyed peas". My gun's barrel is blued and that gets into a whole different spectrum.
When will the fools see the light? They claim to be for a utopian lifestyle yet do not have the courage to start their own commune to see if it is even possible. Until that point I guess they can just color me a racist.
Posted on November 24, 2012 at 3:45pmThis is the kind of intolerant, hateful bigotry that is taught to children and young adults everyday in taxpayer funded schools, colleges and universities all across the Western world, and "YES" if you're taking Sociology curriculum, you're getting a double dose – as shown in "Marxist Valley College" at Youtube. http://tinyurl.com/44btbq8
The Nanny state is a b@$t@rd parent and leftist political groups are nothing more than thinly disguised hate movements. The above story is just one more glaring example of the village that takes (steals) children from loving parents and raises them according to Marxist, Nanny state policy.

Posted on November 24, 2012 at 5:03pmCheck out the movie Oranges & Sunshine starring British Actress Emily Thompson about a social worker who uncovers a government scheme illegally deporting & using children. It is based on a true story that took place in the UK during the 1960-70′s. Thousands of children were taken from their parents and shipped out of the country. It is a tragic story. It is a must see.

Posted on November 25, 2012 at 12:33pmSorry but it is actually self avowed Global Islamic FASCIST, not communism. Both the Black American Muslims and Mid-Eastern Islamic claim to be so. Not only that but the Islamist in the Middle-East fought alongside with Hitler. The house the the palistinians are now claiming is a sacred site is the home of the Imam that organized with Hitler to kill the jews already moving into Israel.
The fact that their policies and goals of eliminating all Jews from the face of the Earth as well as the Caliphate alone matches them with National Socialist. Just because the Caliphate is based on religion as opposed to race (as Hitler was) does not take away from their fascist policies.
Posted on November 25, 2012 at 12:37pmRemeber just being white OR conservative makes you racist to begin with. I can't imagine what they were thinking allowing children to be with white people to begin with. If you're conservative but not white, you are white by proxy and eligible for names like oreo or uncle tom and others. Political affiliations only matter if you're white, because all of the white people have been taught since young youth (correctly) that color is not the indication one should look for in order to judge admissibility Conservatives, learn your lessons! You are the target in all situations! Even if you're a liberal, minority, even a cop just doing his job, you must follow the mantra or pay the price. George Zimmerman goes to the gallows because there is some white in him–though he's a democrat and a latino. And a liberal. You must tow the line daily or you will be 'dead' to them..

Posted on November 25, 2012 at 3:24pmHow long before they start taking biological children away with lies about racism. You support the unions or you are accused of being a racist. This is slander and they should sue for every dime that organization has. They will be forced to think twice before slandering someone else. Scripture states we should try to resolve issues before getting to court. This is an issue of slander and discrimination for non union folks. I pray they get the children back.
Posted on November 25, 2012 at 3:56pmLiberal fascists strike again. They have no tolerance for anyone who disagrees with liberal dogma. Wanting to limit immigration does not make someone racist; it means that they are sensible and patriotic.
Posted on November 26, 2012 at 6:44pmReading this article, I found myself wondering if the children who were placed with these kids were black. Don't know if you know this, but the the National Association of Black Social Workers here in the good old U.S. believe that black children should NEVER be placed with white families, either as foster kids or through adoption. They have been fighting this for over 30 years. Why? Because they think white people are inherently racist. Period. Right. WE'RE the racists.
So now in the U.K., these kids whose own parents apparently are incapable of caring for them, are taken away form perfectly competent foster parents because the foster parents are conservatives??? Good Lord! How soon will we find this happening in the U.S. when foster parents are discovered to be TEA PARTY members? Oh, the horror!!!!!
Posted on November 24, 2012 at 10:44amThe wife said the social worker told her: "We would not have placed these children with you had we known you were members of Ukip because it wouldn't have been the right cultural match."

Posted on November 25, 2012 at 11:30amThis one's to the Gooch re: Abraham Lincoln.
Your quote might have carried some weight if there was a source quoted.
Here's a quote with sources:"I have always thought that all men should be free; but if any should be slaves it should be first those who desire it for themselves, and secondly those who desire it for others." The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln edited by Roy P. Basler, Volume VIII, "Speech to One Hundred Fortieth Indiana Regiment" (March 17, 1865), p. 361.
Gooch, you might want to consider that Lincoln came to the Presidency with slavery already in place. It is in that context, the context of history that one must consider the comments made by Lincoln. Things are not always as simple as we arm chair history quarterbacks would like them to be sitting here judging the man a 150 years later. For more Lincoln quotes on slavery go to:

Words, actions… Lincoln CANNOT be repackaged as some benevolent ol' sage just a doin' what he had to do. Either our rights are inalienable… or, as president, you can jail members of the press, detain political opponents, suspend the right of habeus corpus, and quarter troops where you please.
Lincoln did as he pleased sans so much as a "by your leave." You can defend the words of a tyrant. Can you defend his actions? In doing so, you may be asserting the gubment is, in the end, your master and the Bill of Rights is a convenient luxury afforded to you on a whim. Lincoln is the father of the federal gubment as we know it today: Arrogant, over-reaching and the end all, be all concern that matters more than the collective and the individual… in my opinion after reviewing Lincoln's words AND actions.
Lincoln "saved" us by making us less of what we were MEANT to be.
Notice who defends Lincoln rabidly: Authoritarians.

Posted on November 24, 2012 at 12:29pmSo few are willing to grasp the idea, because so many find it hard to believe that their party can do wrong. I was one of these, and it was very hard for me to think that my party would do wrong, I mean Rush Limbaugh who I set out to hate, made things make sense to me. I was a liberal at one time (and this is before i had any grasp of what our nation was supposed to be), and I was on a mission to catch Rush Limbaugh being racist, so that I could catch the racist remarks before they were reported by the liberals…..after a week or so of listening to him, he explained things that made sense…so this was a life altering experience…I realized i had been duped by the libs and was lied to. So from Clintons last year til the last part of GW I was a hard core Republican.
I was turned off by the effects of the Patriot Act when I realized Obama wasn't going to repeal the Patriot Act. No I didn't vote for him, I voted McCain the Patriot Act didn't cross my mind, until I realized it would not be repealed, and a road was being paved that could put just about anyone on the suspected terrorist list.
Anyways it was hard to let go of the party, but the Patriot Act was a turn off, and the GOP convention was the last straw for me. The convention showed me that the party WAS corrupt, and did shady things. I cut ties after that. If that wasn't enough to make people see that both sides were just as bad then they probably will remain party sheep forever….

Posted on November 24, 2012 at 5:53pmHaving carried water for both parties, I can say from experience the most intolerant and dismissive people in this country are partisans. Yeah, the left tends to generally be more repulsive, but that doesn't meant the right aren't masters of placing their fingers in their ears and yelling "Shut up!!!" to avoid meaningful discourse.
Many a Blazer (like their ideological counterparts on left-leaning sites) asserts free speech and tolerance begins and ends with like-minded partisans. And team R has openly embraced big gubment. Many a progressive is a registered R.
We're all in this together. When you p!ss and moan about your opposition engaging in the very behavior you openly display, how the hell do you expect thinking people to take you seriously?
Case in point: My "conservative" in laws live off Social Security and enjoy heath care paid for by working Americans (too fat, er,disabled to work)… but they hate all the proper people. I see this throughout my family and throughout allegedly conservative concerns.
And, yes, the left seems even uglier with it's cognitive dissonance. Lot's o' hardcore progs LOVE making money off the developmentally disabled… even though many of these same people OPENLY encourage abortion. I suppose the developmentally disabled can be useful… gubment money tends to take a backseat to ideology.
I don't dislikes Rs or Ds; I dislike hypocrites. Mean what you say, say what you mean.

Obozo is the Clown Captain that will lead us to the land of Idiocracy. Yes, it's Obozo's fault, not Bush. The extra tax revenue from the rich will coupled with some extra spending, a la Obozo.

Posted on November 24, 2012 at 10:34amMy in-laws did foster care…it's more like $400 something to have a foster kid, and that was 10 years ago. And if you adopt, you still get that money coming in each month. I know someone who bought a bigger house so they could hold more foster kids….they were both on disability, but lived comfortably because they had so many foster kids and their checks.
Posted on November 24, 2012 at 11:33amLORIANN . . .That was Michele Bachmann. Between her foster kid money and her farm subsidies and her Medicaid money for Marcus's 'pray away the gay" clinic and of course her government salary and health care and pension, they make a handsome living . . . off the government.

Posted on November 24, 2012 at 1:42pm@SPantload – Michelle Bachman is code word to lure in the Wango/Spantload/Enconim Mis/Dis/Ill/uninformed logic-less libs. Bachman likes gays more than you probably, but you/they have to chime in. Your like the guy that had to tear into the Chick-Fil-a drive thru clerk, because you wanted to take up for Gay people. Bachman takes care of foster kids not for the money but for humble reasons. Many, if not all, Obozo supporters take out foster kids for the $600 / month Gov't money, and then feed the kids windshield washer fluid, while they eat every fast food restaurant 24-7-365
Posted on November 24, 2012 at 2:16pmIf the counseling services for people who wanted to be ex-gay came from Medicaid so what.
If the people became ex-gay, were happier & were more productive. The not was money well spent.
It is better that a gay person is helped by Marcus Bachmann, than the psychiatrist who preyed on a 16 year old as written in Chelsea Handler's book "My Horizontal Life". If that story is true, then there is a psychiatrist preying on kids & young adults. How many more are there. I bet it accepts Medicaid money!I've heard to money stories about orphanages. Money is better spent by giving it to foster parents.
Out of all of this I did not see one story that was a blockbuster in the MSM that the foster home environment provided by Michelle Bachmann was anything by good. -

This insanity is about entitlements and "free stuff" from the government. The fact that the government is the people is lost on them. Unfortunately for them, the rich can only pay the freight for government for a couple weeks, if they gave all they own to the IRS. Then what?

Posted on November 24, 2012 at 10:20amIts not just the UK. Its happening here, too. If you are a Conservative who believes in limited government and adherance to the Constitution of the United States as well as states rights, then you are an, "extremist". You are also branded a racist if you advocate showing I.D. at polling places. The DHS has labelled these people as potential terrorists and we are routinely called, "Neo-Nazis", even though Progressives fit the Neo-Nazi bill more appropriately and as by definition. Where is the outrage here? Do you not think children will be taken away from Conservative families in the not too distant future here?

Posted on November 24, 2012 at 10:10amProgressives are getting more bold by the minute, with the re election of BarryO, they will feel they can do anything. I've already seen the cocky attitude amongst prog coworkers. Mindless lemmings the lot of them. They actually believe they are superior because they consider themselves progressive. It will end just as badly for them but they can't see.

Posted on November 24, 2012 at 10:16amIt will end badly for them and for their followers, as it did back in the mid 1900s under Roosevelt and many other such progressive leaders. The main matter is this time we must ensure the survival of our nation, and that future generations never forget what the progressives have done.
Posted on November 24, 2012 at 10:44amHere's a great clip you both might like.
Posted on November 24, 2012 at 11:28am"Never forget what progressives have done."
You're damn right future generations should never forget that almost everything that's been done thats good in this country has been done because of progressive thinking.
Posted on November 24, 2012 at 11:43amoldphoto Yeah progressives gave us TR Wilson and FDR,the minimum wage and unions,big government A holes who micro manage our lives,I'll pass on that. Hopefully someday soon we'll rid our society of filthy progressives once and for all,anti-American anti-capitalistic anti-freedom bastards the lot of them.
Posted on November 24, 2012 at 11:56amThanks for the laugh, oldphoto. Seriously though, just no. Some of the progressive movements work on civil rights and such have been good, I'll grant you that. But overall progressivism is provably collapsing the EU under debt and bringing us closer and closer to the same result. You're a sad little man if you think most everything that's good in this country comes from big government rather than the free market and individuals.
Posted on November 24, 2012 at 12:01pmThanks Slayer, I'll check it out when I get home. No vids at work.

Posted on November 24, 2012 at 12:35pmOldPhoto,
Yeah. Don't worry, me and the other patriots are not going to forget what the progressives have done and are doing to our country. Just like the Maquis in France didn't forget what the collaborators did after the Gemans were driven off. We're making a list, checking it twice, we know who has been naughty and who has been nice. Santa Claus will one day leave a nice present for you and the rest of the progressives. It will most likely be attached to your ignition….

Posted on November 24, 2012 at 12:39pmDon't forget that out of the original leaders under Communist Russia… only two were allowed to live: Stalin and Trotsky. Stalin lived because he became the leader of the country, and Trotsky lived because he was out of the country.
Posted on November 24, 2012 at 1:08pmBrooke,
That's what I don't understand about these people. It's like they never read history. These mistakes are made over and over again with the either the same or worse results and they continue to think they can work if they just try it one more time. I'm an independent, always have been, always will be. I wouldn't let this kind of politics be used on children regardless of the whether the foster parents were right or left. Nothing about it is just. Nothing.
They people who took the kids away should have their jobs taken away. -

"Progressives" and "progressive thinking" only sound alike. The two expressions have nothing to do with each other.
Posted on November 24, 2012 at 10:08amThis is exactly how the NWO communists are going to win. They will scare and opress the competion out of existance.

Posted on November 24, 2012 at 10:13amIt's all ready happening across America. Haven't you seen in the news where children have been removed from their homes because they are homeschooled and/or being raised in conservative homes? There are parents across this country who are fighting to keep their homes intact and their children under their very own roofs all because some self-righteous social worker deemed them "unfit" parents because of their conservative views.

Posted on November 24, 2012 at 11:28amsays the obamalite supporter or Romney who was basically Obama.
Posted on November 24, 2012 at 12:13pmNo sorry. Romney wasn't my choice during the primary but he is no Obama. He at least seems to like capitalism. He vowed to repeal Obama care, which alone would have made a massive difference on how long the country has before financial collapse. And if you think Romney was going to appoint as radical a supreme court Justice as the two Obama already has, you're an idiot. Romney campaigned on lower taxes (you know… makes sense during a recession) while Obama constantly pushed class warfare and raising taxes. You guys made the quest for perfection the enemy of the pretty good and now we are stuck with the really awful.

Romney said he was going repeal Obamacare but keep the "popular features" of it like eliminating previous condition penalties and letting "kids" stay on their parent's insurance until they were 26.
Those 2 things, alone make it unsustainable.
Posted on November 24, 2012 at 9:51amSocial workers,yes we have those useless beings here as well,they're a byproduct of the sick twisted ideology of progressivism and they've helped destroy a generation here in Amerika. The progressives in the UK are simply trying to ensure that the kids will be properly indoctrinated into their perverse ideology that's why they were removed from the normal,yes I used a forbidden word, parents.

Posted on November 24, 2012 at 12:40pmAgreed. There were two social workers in CA that forged abuse investigations in order to go on vacations instead of investigating the crimes. They noted that the abused had Alzheimer so they wouldn't remember their investigation. The daughter of one abused said I was with my mother waiting for you. You never showed up. They were busted and slapped on the hand. That was it. Still collected their pensions.
Also in S. Ca foster families were pimping the foster care children out, again. The word again meant they had a history of doing this. Now in Sacramento County, the only way you could adopt a child was if you were gay. Everyone else was put on a waiting list. Ah socialism. See what happens when you attempt to remove God and replace it with government. Can't wait for Obamacare. -
Posted on November 24, 2012 at 8:03pmAs if these DFS people don't have anything better to do. My supervisor has had to call the authorities re: some of the kids I've worked with who showed up to therapy with bruises and disturbing accounts of their home life. Kids spent the night at Grandma's and parents given a verbal warning. Another family crammed their house full of foster kids for the money, and their medical needs went improperly treated if at all. No action there, of course! Billions of taxpayer dollars have been pumped into DFS and related services, and it's gotten us–or should I say these poor kids & disabled adults–JACK!

While beating the living daylights out of a child is never acceptable, or leaving marks on a child from a from a probable "well deserved" woodshed visit from an over-zealous parent, I'll bet there are some parents (possibly Conservative) who have had their children taken away by an over zealous system for just spanking there kids in front of the "wrong" company…

Barack Obama Re-Elected President
President Obama defeated Republican Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election.
President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden were re-elected Tuesday night, defeating Republican challenger Mitt Romney and his vice presidential running mate Rep. Paul Ryan. NBC News called the presidential election for Obama around 10:15 p.m. and other media outlets quickly followed. The president sent a message on Twitter at 10:14 saying simply, "This happened because of you. Thank you." The Obama campaign won the most expensive presidential race ever, with both parties raising about $2.6 billion. The race was filled with negative campaigning on both sides, from President Obama attacking Romney's business experience with Bain Capital to Romney lambasting Obama's handling of the economy. The race tightened during the final months …

(SIRSY plays 250+ shows/year - nationally).
SIRSY (pronounced "sir - see"):
SIRSY, the FIERY, SULTRY, SOULFUL, INDIE POP ROCK DUO is a musical breath of fresh air in a world of homogenized & overly super-sized corporate rock. Born to Rich Libutti, a lover of The Beatles, Bowie, and Star Wars, who rocks the guitar, and Melanie Krahmer, who must be the love child of Eartha Kitt and Superman, SIRSY is a force much greater than most found on earth. Their clever, hook drenched songs are infectious and lyrically run the gamut from wildly joyful to utterly heartbreaking. The title track from their newest CD, Revolution, is not only one in a collection of great songs, but was also the opening track for the highly acclaimed 'green film', "So Right So Smart" starring Darryl Hanna, Bare Naked Ladies, and Guster among others.
Able to leap tall buildings, rock a club for up to 3 hours, and fully capable of handling zero gravity for hours at a time, Melanie Krahmer, has been described as a girl with a "stunning, inimitable, voice capable of a lion's roar and a floaty whisper, with lungs of a teenage athlete". She plays a full drum kit while standing up, handles bass (played on a keyboard with her drumstick) and throws in flute solos and melodica as well. Rich Libutti plays everything else, including bass (on a keyboard at his feet) and is the anchor to Melanie's on stage tornado. Playing over 200 shows a year, they've shared stages with the likes of Maroon5, Lifehouse, Collective Soul, Third Eye Blind, Train, Blues Traveler, Cheap Trick, Vertical Horizon, Fuel, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, Boys Like Girls, & more.
Now signed to Funzalo Records, they've re-released Revolution, after a re-mix by knob-twisting genius, Paul Kolderie (Hole, Radiohead, Dresden Dolls, Pixies, Martin Sexton). SIRSY's song "Revolution" was featured in the Relix Magazine CD (alongside Joan Osborne, Lucinda Williams, & more) and the music video is in rotation on HBO Zone. SIRSY recently finished a studio project with famed producer, David Kahne (Paul McCartney, Stevie Nicks, Kelly Clarkson) who called Melanie's "a world class voice." Melanie is also endorsed nationally by Vater Percussion and has been featured in Modern Drummer Magazine.
(---The Boston Globe/ Boston, MA)
"Melanie Krahmer can sing, scream, blow flute, drum, and tease, and she does them all REALLY well. Rich Libutti plays everything else (he even uses his feet). If you like live bands that rock, go see SIRSY!"

"Er... wow. I mean WOW! While their music is radio friendly, and their looks are eye-friendly, the material is actually REALLY good. Like pop songs used to be before MTV".

If you like live bands that rock, go see sirsy - they are usually playing somewhere every night and they won't let you down."
— The Village Voice / New York, NY (2005)
"This band has the edge and depth that has marked the great ones which have transformed generations. Melanie's soulful voice and explosive energy creates an experience that one will not soon forget."
— Peter M. Thall, Entertainment Attorney, The Law Offices of Peter M. Thall / New York, NY (Feb 2005)
(*Mr. Thall has represented many of the world's greatest artists from Simon & Garfunkel to Barry Manilow, Hall & Oates, ABBA, The Average White Band, The Cars, Foreigner, Pat Benatar and innumerable other bands, producers of such artists as Billy Joel, Hole, Weezer, Nada Serf, D Generation, Will Smith, Boyzone and Hansen and singer/songwriters from Ric Ocasek to James Taylor & more...)
"Every track is perfection.... I could play the whole album on the radio. The vocals of Melanie Krahmer range from a sensual low growl to a high pitched falsetto. Excellent! Awesome! Incredible!"
—Annette Warner GoGirlsMusic,com, (June 2005)
"Sirsy was one of the first groups to take part in our Localeyez program and judging by the positive response we've had from our consumers we are confident that Sirsy has a great future."
— Mark Hogan, Vice President of Marketing for Trans World Entertainment / Albany, NY (Dec 2002)
"Opening for Collective Soul was the well-regarded Sirsy. Fronted by Melanie Krahmer, who is blessed with a stunning voice. Krahmer has a terrific growl and she also doubles on flute which gave Sirsy's songs a mysterious quality that demanded a listener's attention."
—Dave Windsheimer, Recorder, Albany/Upstate, NY (April 2005)
"Errr, wow. I mean, WOW! While their music is radio friendly, and their looks are eye-friendly, the material is actually REALLY good. Like pop songs used to be before MTV. They have a sizeable fanbase as evidenced by the sell out at the Tribeca show... go see them!
— Pete Harris, womanrock.com/Indie Sounds NY/Harris Radio, NYC (Oct 2004)
"Sirsy, an Albany based pop band has taken the Northeast by storm! Their marketing skills as amazing as they are, however, are toppled in comparison by the amount of heart, soul, and passion they have pouring through their music. At this year's Bamboozle Festival, make sirsy a band on your must-see list!"
—Peter Kakouriotis, Aquarian, NJ & NYC (April 2005)
"The amazing sirsy.You can tell anyone you want, I'm a big SIRSY fan."
—Patti Rothberg, EMI Recording Artist/ NYC (Aug 2003)
"This ain't your run-of-the-mill indie band folks. Sirsy offers up a veritable soup of ardent originality. Krahmer casts her lyrical and vocal spell with a voice that is a standout among wannabes in today's radio drivel. Bursting and belting out emotion and substance, she can be the queen of 'in the groove' rocking or be simple and delicate. The band doesn't struggle to keep up with Krahmer's vocal talent, they shine in comparison to the stock inventory of what is commercially available. Originality starts from the top down and with Sirsy it doesn't stop at the depth and insight of the music and lyrics. On all of Sirsy's releases the performance is stellar...bringing the listener back to emotions that one might not want to revisit, but the beauty of Melanie's voice and the invitation of the music whisper, "it's okay." Emotional, original, rock with a singer who gives major label releases a run for their money. From a solidly smart standout first release to the soon to be released Ruby, the sounds of Sirsy keep getting better. Take notice, this is one indie band with the clout, talent and know-how to make great records and groove its way to musician nirvana."
— J. Schaefer, Aftertaste Magazine/ Webzine (May 2004)
"Sirsy reminds me why I love music."
—Arthur Gonick, WSPN 91.1FM / Saratoga & Upstate, NY (2004)
"On Ruby, they're tighter and more focused than ever. It's no surprise that Ruby debuted in the
Top 10. Vicious guitar work frames the super-sexy vocals of lead gal Melanie Krahmer. She's
Sirsy's trump card, and her performance here is stunning. Krahmer has the lungs of a teenage athlete and the growl of a sixty-something blues singer. Not a bad combo. The players are also skilled, and one of their talents is restraint. No spotlight-stealing solos or layers of effects here. It's especially interesting to hear how the band colors the songs with tiny details while leaving them wide open for the vocals. Nice job."
—Ethan Covey, Music Editor, Seven Days Newspaper / Burlington, VT (June 2004)
"...gorgeous...great pop songs...classy and quirky enough to capture the ears of college radio listeners all over the continent... catchy without being hackneyed. It's rare that I get the opportunity to hear superior slow songs that don't sound artificial and simulated. Sirsy is a substantial, air-tight assemblage of some of the finest funk-based, urban pop I've had the pleasure to experience."
—Pete Knapp, President, Shut Eye Records / Atlanta, GA (June 2001)
"I liked the Sirsy stuff. From what I heard, they definitely have the talent to go all the way."
— Rob Hotchkiss (guitarist) of the band TRAIN (Nov 2002)
SIRSY'S (Live Version) of "WISHLESS" NAMED BEST SONG OF 2002!
"If there was a 'Most Likely to Succeed' award, this band would win it hands down. Melanie Krahmer's vocals are searing and sultry, the band tight and complementary. Radio friendly, video friendly, and so, so pleasing on the ears. Go Sirsy!"
—Andy Gallo, Crumbs Radio / Web Radio (Jan 2003)
"Sirsy is one of the most professional bands in the business. Four very talented musicians who have written a catalog of great material and deliver a live performance that's both fun and energetic, and is able to appeal to the masses like no other band I know."
—Dan Goodspeed, Rkstar.com / Indie Band Web Site (July 2002)
"Sirsy has an uncanny knack for handling well-worn song themes in an original way. These diversified players and their gifted female vocalist incorporate a wide array of influences without ever sounding derivative."
—Audiogalaxy.com / Indie Band Web Site (2000)
"...a unique sound, talented musicians a lot of energy... more apt to fill an arena rather than a bar. There is no telling how many shows Sirsy has left in the Crystal City. Not because they'll quit their marathon touring, but because they'll be at the Beacon Theater in New York City instead."
—Jon Methven, The Leader / Corning, NY (Aug 2002)
"Hands down... One of the best live acts you will ever see!"
—Jeff Maynard, Ri Ra Music Club / Charlotte, NC (2004)
"...moody, passionate songs filled with hooks and tasty musicianship. You need to hear sirsy to be able to say you knew them when!"
—Corley Roberts, President, FABU Records / Nashville, TN (Aug 2000)
"Best Band of 2003, 2004& 2005: SIRSY".
"Best Alternative Band of 2005: SIRSY"
—Times Union, Reader's Poll / Albany & Upstate, NY (2003 & 04)
—Metroland Magazine / Albany & Upstate, NY (2003 & 2004)
"Best Concert of 2004: SIRSY at LARKFEST". (Dave Matthew's Band finished at #3).
"Best Singer/Songwriter of 2004: Melanie Krahmer of sirsy"
—Times Union, Readers' Poll / Albany & Upstate, NY (2004)
"Best Local Act of 2003: SIRSY".
"Best Concert in the Past Year: #1 Dave Matthews Band at SPAC, #2 Bon Jovi at the Pepsi Arena, #3 SIRSY at E.O'Dwyer's."
—Times Union, Readers' Poll / Albany & Upstate, NY (2003)
"In the Albany, NY area... the most talented is a band called Sirsy."
—Rate Your Music.com / Indie Band Web Site (Aug 2002)
"Of the more than 400 bands in the Capital Region less than a dozen local groups can be considered buzzworthy...Sirsy...has earned its buzz."
—Michael Lisi, Sunday Gazette / Schenectady, NY (June 2002)
"Helmed by the sensually throaty singer Melanie Krahmer, Sirsy have been creating a buzz,as the hard-working funk-pop ensemble's daunting schedule has earned them a large helping of fans... recently, won CBGB's Battle of the Bands."
—Metroland Magazine / Albany & Upstate NY (Nov 2002)
"...passion, stage presence, and glaring potential...Sirsy is bigger than many might think."
—Chris Riale, Albany Student Press, SUNY Albany / Albany, NY (Nov 2002)
"...hook-laden punch... a band coming into its own...play off each other effortlessly... vocalist Melanie Krahmer- the main attraction in the band, has a voice capable of both a lion's roar and a floaty whisper. The instrumentalists wisely leave plenty of aural space to be filled with Krahmer's soulful moan. The songs...manage to sound familiar and radio-friendly...shimmering guitar licks, rattling percussion; Krahmer's vocals alternate between a seductive croon and a cathartic release the band manages to mix funk and pop into an infectious groove... this outfit is uniquely talented especially Krahmer. Sirsy are collectively more skillful than a fair number of artists who've found themselves in the modern pop-rock spotlight."
— Ethan Covey, Music Editor, Seven Days Newspaper / Burlington, VT (April 2002)
"...the band puts in 12 tight performances on 'At This Time (Live)'. Singer Melanie Krahmer has a vocal versatility, waxing by turns soulful, angelic and downright bitchy while staying in command of the audience. Given the live crowd's enthusiastic response, you can imagine Sirsy might be best appreciated live."
— Colin Clary, Seven Days Newspaper / Burlington, VT (Jan 03)
"....a lot of heart and the most effectively realized arrangements to emerge from an area studio in recent memory... Melanie Krahmer's robust, attitudinal vocals are immediately arresting, the guitar and bass work is as nimble and professional as Krahmer's singing. All the individual elements are tasty, from Krahmer's ballsy belting and occasional flute solos to the solid rhythm provided by Libutti (on bass)."
—Peter Hanson, Metroland / Albany & Upstate, NY (Feb 2001)
"Sirsy is hot, and with each passing day sultry singer Melanie Krahmer is looking more and more like the girl most likely to succeed. ...a funkified, grrl-powered modern rock power house with a mature batch of songs and a combo tightened by plenty of live work."
—Michael Eck, Albany2Go.com/ Albany & Upstate, NY (Feb 03)

"Ear catching, lyrically smart and musically sound. The snappy CD seeps a bit into mainstream rock, ..."Ear catching, lyrically smart and musically sound. The snappy CD seeps a bit into mainstream rock, a good
idea and one that works, apparently, because it got this critic's attention. With her lusty voice and Libutti's
clever guitar fills ... "Revolution" ought to take the duo to another well-deserved level... sees Krahmer's voice
becoming an identifiable one– no small feat in the sea of music we live in– from a smoky whisper to a throaty
growl, it is as good as it gets, and one you'll put up against anyone. And I mean anyone."
— D. Perkins, Connecticut Valley Spectator (2007)
"From the play button, "Revolution" is a great disc... punchy, musical, and poison ivy-style contagious. "
— CE Skidmore, The Post-star (Glens Falls, NY 2007)
"Packed with 10 sharp, hook-filled original tunes by the duo, "Revolution" is a winner, with strong, seductive
vocals by Krahmer. None of these tunes are clunkers."
— Gregg Haymes, Times Union (Albany, NY/ 2007)
"..."Revolution" is 10 tracks of well-crafted, catchy, pop-inflected rock songs."
— Philip Schwartz, Daily Gazette (2007)
