A friend of mine, who is Chair of the Economics Department, invited me to speak to the students and faculty at the University of Dallas (where the Veterans for Peace convention was that I spoke at the day before I went to Crawford on August 6th, 2005), which is a small, non-culturally or non-racially diverse, Catholic college.
Surprisingly, my friend Sam, received little protest over inviting me, but there was a "Support the Troops" rally in the room next to where I spoke. Some Camp Casey friends accidentally went into that room and only heard the speaker call me names like "scum" and he called the rest of the people at my event "peace fairies."
I was heartened to find the first three rows of my speech were filled with young people who were smiling and vigorously nodding their heads at everything I said. Most of the audience clapped or laughed in the right places so I was feeling pretty good. However, I was a little sad when there were some snide snickers when I had the unmitigated gall to call Iraqis "human beings."
During the "Q and A" part, the first question I received amazed me. Now, I was raised Protestant and received an excellent training in the Christian scriptures and I know after being a Catholic for 25 years and a Catholic youth minister for nine of those years, that the average Catholic does not know a great deal about the Bible as most of their religious training is in the tenets of the Catholic faith. Here's how many Catholics quote scripture: "It's somewhere in the Bible," when, in my experience, many times they are actually quoting: "Poor Richard's Almanac."
An emphasis on the biblical support for the teachings of the church was never used as long as I taught in the church using the approved teaching materials of the church, but the depth of ignorance of Jesus of Nazareth exhibited in the first question still had the ability to astonish me.
The question printed neatly on a 3 by 5 index card was: "How do you reconcile your progressive ideals with your faith?" I answered the question that Jesus cared about the poor. He admonished us to "feed the hungry," "clothe the naked," "heal the sick," and "visit those imprisoned." Jesus performed a stunning feat of civil disobedience by over-turning the tables of the moneychangers in the temple and was subsequently executed by the Empire of his time. Jesus was the ultimate progressive radical. Jesus' name is exploited by our materialistic society at Christmas time when he changes from the right-wing Christian warmonger to the "Prince of Peace."
Jesus welcomed the "least of these" to his table. He didn't exclude sinners, lepers or prostitutes who were the pariahs of his day. Today, I am convinced that if Jesus returned he would welcome gays and non-white people (even "illegal" immigrants) to commune with him. The only people I ever heard Jesus speak badly about were the "brood of vipers" (Mt 3:7) that were the Sadduccees (Democrats?) and Pharisees (Republicans?) who in the parable, with hypocritical piety, walked right by the man who had been beaten, robbed and left by the side of the road to die without helping him and they turned his "Father's" house (the Temple) into a "den of thieves." (Mt. 21:12).
My question for the questioner was: "How do you reconcile your faith with supporting war and killing?"
If Jesus came back today and was a politician, I know, because of my faith in the inherent goodness of the Universe, that he would not be a "politician" but a public servant. Jesus would be in favor of single-payer health care, solar and wind energy, unions, free post-secondary education, Social Security, fair trade, free speech, civil rights, and human rights. Jesus would be against the death penalty, torture, extremist religions that exploit His Name for profit, extremist states that exploit His Name to kill innocent people, and the ultimate crime against humanity: war.
Whether one is a Christian, Jew, Muslim, or like me now- nothing, Jesus of Nazareth and his story is still worth studying and emulating. At the risk of sounding judgemental, I have a feeling that these reactionary Christian extremists are going to be shocked when they go to meet their maker and find out that Jesus wasn't kidding when he said "Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called children of God" (Mt 5:9). The converse of that saying is: "Cursed are the warmakers for they are not the children of God." There is a very relevant saying of Jesus in the Bible that these self-proclaimed "Christians" should also pay closer attention to:
You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. (Matthew 5:43)
Wise words for everybody to strive to live up to: From presidents to college students and everyone in between.

Insurance settlement reached for Hopkinton garage
By NANCY BEAN FOSTER
Union Leader Correspondent
HOPKINTON - The battle between the town and the Local Government Center over the value of a highway garage destroyed by fire this summer has been settled, and now it's up to the voters to raise the additional funds to replace the barn.
According to Selectman Jim O'Brien, chairman of the board, after a lengthy negotiation and a series of offers and counter-offers, LGC and the town settled for a sum of $790,000. The town has contended since shortly after the fire that the building was worth $1 million, the amount LGC appraised it for and based the insurance premiums on, but LGC was willing to pay the town only the replacement value of the building, not the appraised amount.
The town and LGC had reached an impasse and were heading for arbitration when the $790,000 figure was floated. O'Brien said the board weighed the costs and the risks of moving forward into arbitration and decided to take the settlement.
"I don't think any of the board members are pleased at the outcome," said O'Brien. "This process was much harder than it should have been. It's definitely left a bad taste in our mouths. "
But since the settlement was reached, LGC has given the bulk of the money to the town.
"They have hand delivered us a check for $500,000 and they're release the rest after town meeting," said O'Brien.
At town meeting, voters will be asked to appropriate $1.3 million to build a new highway garage that's larger and more modern than the one that burned. The $790,000 will offset part of the cost, but the voters will have to bond the remaining $510,000 to pay for the upgraded building.
"We feel like for $510,000, we're getting a building that's going to last for generations for a reasonable price," said O'Brien. "Not having a building really puts a strain on the highway department."
After town meeting, the board will start taking a hard look at whether it wants to continue doing business with LGC.
"We've been contacted by other companies with offers so we'll have to sit down and look at what our options are," O'Brien said.

In-situ Pb isotopic analysis of sulfides in abyssal peridotites: new insights into heterogeneity and evolution of the oceanic upper mantle
DOEI Funded Research: 2008
AbstractThis proposal to DOEI requests support for an ion probe Pb isotope study of mantle sulfides in abyssal peridotites from ultraslow-spreading ridges. Systematics of mantle Pb isotopes are more complicated than that for Sr and Nd isotopes because geochemical behavior of the lithophile parents (U and Th) is different from that of the chalcophilic daughter (Pb), and mantle sulfides are thought to play crucial roles in creating Pb isotopic variations observed in mid-ocean ridge basalts. Despite the potential importance, systematic studies of Pb isotopes in mantle sulfides have never been made. We propose here to make a significant step forward on this issue. Abyssal peridotites from ultraslowspreading ridges provide unique opportunities for directly approaching geochemical characteristics of the original asthenospheric composition. The proposed study attempts to characterize in detail sulfides from the Southwest Indian Ridge and the Gakkel Ridge. This work attempts to produce in-situ Pb isotope data, using the WHOI IMS 1280, in sulfides characterized in detail for their petrographic contexts and major element compositions. The proposed work is coordinated with a concurrent study of Os isotopes in sulfides from the same suites of sulfide samples and with a study of radiogenic isotopes in silicates from the same suites of peridotites, so that a comprehensive radiogenic isotope data will be gathered for both silicates and sulfides, and geochemical evolution of the asthenospheric mantle can be quantitatively examined.
J. Blusztajn is the lead PI of the proposal and N. Shimizu's role will provide technical support with respect to the 1280 operation. Both will work together on interpretation of the results. The proposed research is concerned with the genetic relationship between the mantle and MORB, and is relevant to the DOEI themes.

Editor's note: Eric Liu is the founder of Citizen University and the author of several books, including "A Chinaman's Chance" and "The Gardens of Democracy." He was a White House speechwriter and policy adviser for President Bill Clinton. Follow him on Twitter @ericpliu. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of the author.
(CNN) -- This month, a federal judge allowed North Carolina to put into effect new laws that would make it more difficult to vote. Most of the American public didn't notice.
The Republicans pushing to restrict voting rights nationwide are betting on such inattention. Emboldened by a recent Supreme Court case limiting the reach of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, GOP legislators have moved swiftly in numerous states to cut early voting and same-day registration, and to require ID cards at the ballot box.
Democrats claim these measures will discourage young and nonwhite voters from voting, who tend to vote more often for Democrats. GOP legislators insist they're only worried about voter fraud and the integrity of the electoral system.
But there is little evidence of significant fraud. And these legislators don't actually dispute the Democrats' basic claim. Indeed, rigging the rules to dampen turnout among youth and minorities appears to be a key strategy for some Republicans.
When people complain about the impact of voting restrictions, they're often dismissed as Democratic mouthpieces. Voting rights, to the average citizen, becomes just another partisan football.
This is bad for the country. But it's particularly bad for the GOP. While it may seem that the Republicans who want to restrict voting are winning right now, their strategy in fact threatens to isolate the party in the long term.
Republican leaders insist, correctly, that plenty of young, Asian-American, Hispanic, and African-American voters respond positively to a message of smaller government and more economic freedom.
But prior to stances on issues, what voters of color and young voters pick up on is a vibe -- an overall sense of whether we are welcome. And the vibe that many in the GOP have been sending lately has been less than welcoming.
Consider not just the efforts to invalidate the Voting Rights Act and to restrict access to the ballot, which many Millennials and African-Americans have taken personally, but also the hostility of many Republicans toward undocumented immigrants.
Consider too the remarks of people like Alabama congressman Mo Brooks, who declared recently that President Obama and the Democrats are prosecuting a "war on whites."
Whipping up the anxieties of older whites may be rational politics -- after all, they are still the likeliest voters -- but it alienates what demographer Paul Taylor calls "the next America." As Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention recently put it, the GOP, having painted itself in a corner, "applied a second coat."
I am a Democrat, so I know my comments will be presumed partisan. But I am foremost an American who is quite conscious of what it took for me, the son of Chinese immigrants, to get to vote.
A few weeks ago I met John Lewis, icon of the civil rights movement and longtime Georgia congressman. It happened to be the 50th anniversary of the signing of Civil Rights Act into law. I asked him how today's youth should engage, given that the obstacles and challenges are so different from what he experienced as a teenager. His answer was simple: Participate. Vote.
This is the moment for a rising Republican to deliver precisely that message to people of color and young voters: Participate. Vote. It's the moment for a leading Republican to argue that his or her party should be on the side of more democracy, not less; more inclusion, not less. If there is actual voter fraud, root it out, this leader should say, but not in a way that seems like a whites-only backroom plot.
Sen. Rand Paul has shown signs that he could be such a voice. He's met with constituencies that national Republicans often ignore, like African-American voters and college students. His outreach has seemed in earnest, and he has been a refreshing voice on issues like reform of criminal sentencing.
But telling, also, was the quick getaway he made when an undocumented "Dreamer" recently came up to him and another GOP congressman to ask them about immigration reform. Outreach can't be only scripted and packaged, it has to come from readiness to engage.
More importantly, it has to emerge from a sincere belief that more participation is better. A party confident about its ideas doesn't work in a cynical way to shrink the electorate. It sees in "the next America" a majority waiting to be made.
Rock the Vote has just launched a new nonpartisan campaign to push back against voting restrictions. Celebrities, musicians and students and many progressives have joined. All that's missing are some Republicans to argue -- in a visible, unexpected, Nixon-goes-to-China way -- that rocking the vote is better than rigging it. Are there any? Their party needs them, and so does their country.

TOMALES — The Tomales Braves are on a campaign this season. A campaign to not just win games but to reignite a program with a tradition that for decades has made the stadium on Irvin Road the place to be on Friday nights.
The Braves win games. Almost always have.
But despite a winning tradition, the Braves can feel it slipping away.
Fourteen players busted through the banner and took the field in the season opener against Hoopa Valley Friday night. Considering that 11 players are on the field — that is, quite literally, not much breathing room.
"We got some good kids, there are some tough kids," head coach Leon Feliciano said. "We just don't have a lot of them."
It's been a wave that's been building off shore for years — declining enrollment and the emerging popularity of soccer that's poaching top athletes from the football squad. The wave has crested and is pounding the Braves.
So few kids came out for the team this season that under "experience," three guys on the roster are listed with "none." There is no junior varsity squad.
"We're small but mighty," said senior running back and linebacker Willy Lepori.
The small but mighty Braves put a thumping on the visiting Warriors on Friday night. The scoreboard read 41-12, but it said more than that. It said we're here, we're tough — we are not going anywhere.
"With 14 guys …" Feliciano was looking toward the scoreboard which had already been erased, already moving on to the next game. "That (game) gave us buy in. To all the guys who didn't believe — a lot of kids quit and didn't come out. We've got to hang in tight together."
The Braves did more than hang in on Friday night. They dominated every which way, despite guys cramping on the sideline, shoulders heaving from playing every down, all night.
Feliciano knows that intensity is tough to maintain. He has no room to spare, no buffer for injury or fatigue.
If a guy isn't playing well, you'd be hard pressed to bench him when you have 14 kids eligible.
"We're skating on thin ice," Feliciano said about the future of the program.
Tomales has about 170 students, down from around 280 when Feliciano took over in 1996. He's gone 131-65-3 with a student body that has declined bit by bit.
The players can feel it. It's hard not to, when you look to the sideline and there are only three subs.
"It's a shame to see such a great program go down," Lepori said.
But it's not going down without a fight.
The Braves expanded their repertoire Friday night.
Sure, it was the grinding, running football that Feliciano's squads have long been known for. Lepori, who was responsible for four touchdowns Friday, was called upon early and often. Juniors Ty Evenich and Andres Cuevas were a potent combination on the ground.
But Feliciano gave the green light to senior quarterback Joel Gutierrez to let fly Friday night and it was the talk of the stands. Old-timers dressed in red and black who have been coming to Braves football games for decades have never seen a Feliciano squad go to the air as much as they did Friday night.

The kids and I came home from a long Friday afternoon following a long week and ready for some R & R, and found that we had company, which was good news. We were all enthusiastic in our hellos to our friend Nick, who we had not seen since before leaving for Costa Rica over 5 months ago. He had come over to see my husband, and us, too. Then, we embarrassed ourselves with bad manners by doubling our enthusiasm for his new dog, who was visiting as well. To exaggerate, it was something like, "Hi, Nick, great to see you!" followed by, "Ooh! Wow! Yay! A dog! He's so cute! Can we pet him? Oh, he's adorable!" Pretty typical for our family, I'm sorry to say.
My kids, honestly, are delighted about any canine visitor, and I'm pretty much the same. Still, this time, even I was over the top, and I think that's a sign that this dog was meant to wander into my life and make me happy, even though he's not actually my dog. First of all, this dog is a Havanese, which is my favorite breed of dog after the mixed breed. I'm not sure why Havanese always delight me, but I've never met one that I didn't love. This little guy was no exception. (I've always thought it was fitting that I fell in love with a breed from Latin America—the Havanese is named after Havana, Cuba—since I am so interested in and comfortable in that culture.)
Second of all, when I asked Nick about the dog's name, the answer was a pleasant surprise. The dog's name is Radar. This literally made me squeal with delight because my mentor in the field of dog behavior, Patricia McConnell, Ph.D. used to joke that I was like Radar from the TV show MASH. Her reasoning was that I had a tendency to anticipate what was needed when I was her teaching assistant for her class at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I loved the show, I loved the character, and I loved being compared to him.
Regrettably, Radar is not my dog, but I can't help but feel a strong connection to him anyway. I just love the little guy! Have you ever met a dog that wasn't yours and was never going to be yours, but you still felt like the dog was supposed to come into your life?

If you think the recent liberalization of marijuana laws around the country is only about smoking leaves and buds, think again. For users younger than 25, "hash oil" is where it's really at. This concentrated resin of marijuana is creating new public safety headaches — even in places where it's legal.
There have always been forms of the substance, but the resins available today are much stronger than in years past. That's due in part to the expertise developed by medical marijuana producers, who have learned how to make more potent versions of the oil.
Near Seattle, medical marijuana entrepreneur Jeremy Kelsey shows off a sample of a resin that he markets as extreme pain medication for cancer patients. It looks like dark green Karo syrup. Kelsey calls it "pure THC."
"There's pounds literally that went into this dish," Kelsey says, dabbing at the sticky substance that coats the bottom of a square Pyrex pan.
His product is especially potent because he makes it only from marijuana buds, not, as others do, from leafy matter and stalks. He calls the resin medication, but recreational users have other names for it: "butane honey oil," "wax," "shatter" or simply "dabs" — because a little dab will do you.
Exploding Refrigerators
Users smoke it, vaporize it and sometimes even eat it — those people sometimes refer to themselves as "tar babies." High Times magazine jokingly implies that honey oil is best for people who already smoke regular pot every day. The stuff is so strong, it can cause less experienced users to throw up.
Some people make the resin at home. You just soak the pot in some kind of chemical solvent, which extracts the resin from the marijuana. Do-it-yourselfers like using butane, which can be purchased at most hardware stores.
The trouble is, solvents can catch fire — and even explode. Last year, the U.S. Fire Administration, a department of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, issued a bulletin warning of an increase in fires involving the production of hash oil.
In Washington state, which legalized marijuana for recreational use in 2012, authorities have noted an uptick in similar incidents. There was an explosion in a building in Seattle on Tuesday, and Verner O'Quinn, a sergeant with the Seattle Police Department's bomb squad, blames solvents used in the production of hash oil.
There were no victims in the explosion, but it created a big bang. "It blew out the windows, blew the walls 6 inches from the foundation in an area. Cracked the siding," O'Quinn says.
He says fires in the Seattle area often come with a particular twist: They start with exploding refrigerators. Apparently, some people put their marijuana-butane marinade in the freezer. "Maybe the process works better when it's colder," O'Quinn says.
Most freezers have a fan, which then circulates the volatile butane fumes into the rest of the refrigerator, "down to where the compressor is," he explains. "A small spark will set it off, and it generally blows the door off."
A 'Practical Decision' To Legalize
Washington state allows adults to possess up to 1 ounce of pot, so turning it into hash oil isn't illegal, per se. Still, if you're using explosive solvents, you might be looking at a zoning violation or even criminal charges of reckless endangerment.
The state is now getting ready to license commercial marijuana processors, who will be required to use purer solvents and professional-grade equipment when making the extracts.
State officials did waver over whether hash oil should be legal at all. Initially, the Washington State Liquor Control Board, which is writing the regulations for the legalization process, decided the voter-approved legalization did not apply to concentrates. It later reversed course.
Randy Simmons, who runs the legalization implementation process, calls that a practical decision.
"We're trying to move as many people out of the illicit marketplace as possible," Simmons says. "And in order to do that, if we would have excluded these oils, we would have left a whole lot of the marketplace in the black market."
In other words, hash oil is too popular not to legalize. But there's no guarantee that will always be true. Simmons points out that after Prohibition ended, liquor laws were constantly fine-tuned with experience. He expects the same thing may happen with marijuana and its more potent derivatives.
The recent legalization of marijuana in Colorado and Washington isn't just about people smoking leaves and buds. Among young users, the most popular form of pot is now something called butane honey oil. It's a concentrated marijuana resin. It is legal where marijuana is legal, but its popularity worries public safety officials. That's in part because making the substance can have explosive side effects. NPR's Martin Kaste reports from Seattle.
MARTIN KASTE, BYLINE: There have always been forms of hash oils out there, but these days they're much stronger, thanks to the expertise of people like Jeremy Kelsey.
JEREMY KELSEY: This starting out, this is the pure THC concentrate that comes from the plant.
KASTE: Kelsey's showing off a Pyrex dish that contains something that looks like green syrup. He dabs at it with a toothpick and tries to convey just how much marijuana this represents.
KELSEY: There's pounds literally that went into this dish.
KASTE: Pounds of marijuana bud?
KELSEY: Yeah, yeah. Yes. This is straight flowers that makes this. This isn't leaf or nothing. This is straight flowers.
KASTE: Kelsey runs a medical marijuana store north of Seattle and he calls this syrup pain medication for cancer patients. Recreational users have other names for it: wax, honey oil, shatter or just plain dabs. They smoke it, vaporize it, even eat it. It produces a gut-wrenching high that makes regular pot seem weak, a high that motivates some of them to share their fun on YouTube.
KASTE: Some people like hash oil so much they make it at home. All you need to do is soak the marijuana in some kind of a chemical solvent which extracts the resin. Do-it-yourselfers like butane because you can buy it at the hardware store. But the trouble is butane can blow up.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: You squish it down and make sure...
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #2: The house is on fire. The house is on fire.
KASTE: Yeah, that's on YouTube too. But you could've seen something like that in person if you'd happen to be standing outside a certain building on the south side of Seattle earlier this week. Verner O'Quinn is with the city's bomb squad.
VERNER O'QUINN: It blew out the windows, blew the wall six inches off the foundation in an area, cracked the siding.
KASTE: There's been an uptick in fires caused by people making hash oil, and not just in pot-friendly Washington state. Last year there was a bulletin about the trend from FEMA. Around Seattle, some of the explosions have been happening inside of refrigerators. O'Quinn says people here seem to think that the best place for their marijuana butane marinade is in the freezer.
O'QUINN: Maybe the process works better when it's colder. At some point what happens is it makes its way into the refrigerator or down to where the compressor is. A small spark will set it off and it generally blows the door off.
KASTE: Washington state allows adults to possess up to an ounce of pot. And turning your pot into hash oil isn't illegal per say. But if you're using explosive solvents, you might be looking at a zoning violation at the very least. The state will require commercial marijuana processors to use safer chemicals and equipment. But officials initially balked at allowing hash oil to be sold at all. Randy Simmons runs the state's pot licensing process.
RANDY SIMMONS: We're trying to move as many people out of the illicit marketplace as possible. And in order to do that, if we would have excluded these oils, we would have left a whole lot of the marketplace in the black market.
KASTE: In other words, they decided that the concentrates were just too popular not to legalize. As a compromise they said that it had to be diluted with food or some other substance. But with experience those rules could change. Simmons points out that liquor laws were constantly fine-tuned after prohibition. And he expects that the same may happen with marijuana and its more potent derivatives. Martin Kaste, NPR News, Seattle. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Better cancer treatments and an aging population will push the number of cancer survivors in the U.S. to nearly 18 million by 2022, according to a new report from researchers at the National Cancer Institute.
As of January 2012, there were 13.7 million survivors of bladder, breast, colorectal, kidney, lung, prostate, thyroid and other cancers, the report says. Over 10 years, that figure is projected to grow 31% to 17,981,391, the researchers estimate.
Today, the biggest group of cancer survivors is women who had breast cancer (22%), followed by men who had prostate cancer (20%). No. 3 is men and women who had colorectal cancer (8.8%) and No. 4 is melanoma (7.1%). Only 3% of cancer survivors are men and women who had lung cancer, even though it is the second most-common cancer diagnosis for both groups.
The report notes that 64% of survivors have remained alive for at least five years after being diagnosed; 40% have been alive for at least 10 years; and 25% have been alive for at least 15 years. By the year 2022, the proportion of cancer survivors who will have lived at least 15 years after their diagnosis will rise to 28% (amounting to 5 million people).

Tricks of the Trade: Shop-made Circle-cutting Tool
I often need to cut an arc or circle for a template or gasket. In the past, my results using a compass and scissors were far from the smooth shape I hoped for. Recently, I needed to cut a precise, smooth circular arc in a sheet of veneer, and I realized my old methods were inadequate. In addition to the arc looking ragged and uneven, the thin veneer would break when I attempted to cut it. I needed a better method.
I came up with a circle-cutting tool that uses a rotary blade similar to the blade used in some office paper trimmers.
The rotary cutter blade is 28mm (1.10″) in diameter with a 5mm (3⁄16″) mounting hole. A set of two blades is available at office supply and fabric stores, or online under "paper trimmer blades." The blade is attached to the end of a 1×2 board using a 3⁄16″ x 2″ hanger bolt, with two 3⁄16″ x 1″ fender washers supporting the blade, (one on each side) and a standard 3⁄16″ washer between the board and the first fender washer. Two 3⁄16″ nuts hold everything snugly, but allow the blade to rotate. I drilled holes in the board at 1″ increments and used a nail through the holes, driven into 3⁄4″ plywood underneath, as a pivot point. The blade extends below the 1×2 board about 3⁄16″.
With this circle cutter, it is best to make several light cuts.
When the tool is not in use, I wrap a piece of duct tape around the blade to protect it. It works great.

Urethral Syndrome
Urethral syndrome is a set of symptoms from inflammation or irritation of the urethra that are not related to a bacterial or viral infection. The urethra is the tube that carries urine out of the body from the bladder.
|Female Urethra
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Because there is no evidence of infection, the cause of urethral syndrome is often difficult to determine. Possible causes include:
- Undetected bacterial or viral infection of the urethra
Irritation of the urethra, caused by:
- Radiation therapy or exposure
- Chemotherapy
- Spermicidal jellies used during sex
- Bubble baths
- Irritating soaps
- Scents or perfumes
- Injury to the urethra caused by a blow to the pelvic area
- Sexual intercourse (especially in women)
- Urinary irritants, such as caffeine and certain foods
In women, irritation of the urethra may be caused by:
- Feminine hygiene sprays or douches
- Sanitary napkins
- Contraceptive gels
- Condoms
Risk Factors
Urethral syndrome is most common in women. Factors that may lead to an undetected infection:
Urethral syndrome may cause:
- Pain and/or burning while urinating
- Difficulty urinating (especially after intercourse)
Increase in urinary:
- Frequency
- Urgency
- Blood in the urine
- Swelling and/or tenderness in the groin
- Pain during intercourse
In men, urethral syndrome may specifically cause:
- Discharge from the penis
- Blood in semen
- Pain during ejaculation
- Swollen and/or tender testicles
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. It will include a pelvic exam. Urethral syndrome is usually diagnosed when symptoms of urethritis are present without evidence of an infection.
Tests may include:
- Urine tests or urethral swab tests for lab study
- Tests for sexually transmitted diseases
- Cystoscopy and/or urethroscopy
- Pelvic ultrasound
Treatment may include:
- Antibiotics for a possible undetected infection
- Anesthetics
- Antispasmodics to reduce bladder spasms
- Antidepressants
- Alpha-blocking drugs to relax muscle tone
Avoidance of Irritants
Avoid irritants that may cause urethral syndrome. Then, wait and see if your condition improves.
Surgery may be done in cases where narrowing of the urethra is thought to be causing the urethral syndrome.
To reduce your chance of urethral syndrome:
Avoid the use of:
- Spermicidal jellies
- Bubble baths
- Irritating soaps
- Scents or perfumes
- Feminine hygiene sprays and douches
- Urinary irritant foods and beverages
- Practice safe sex, including using condoms.
- Urinate immediately after sexual intercourse.
- Make sure sexually transmitted diseases are treated quickly and completely for you and your partner(s).
- Drink plenty of fluids.

May 10, 2005
Dear Colleague:
I know you share the strong belief that no child should be left behind in our efforts to ensure that our nation's elementary and secondary schoolchildren receive an education that fully prepares them for college or the workforce. This is particularly true for students with disabilities who, in the past, have often been held to lower standards and assessed in ways that failed to accommodate their disabilities and demonstrate what they know. As a result, I support emphatically the requirements that are the cornerstone of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB): that all students, including students with disabilities, be held to challenging content and achievement standards; that their progress be measured annually by high-quality assessments aligned with those high standards; and that schools and school districts be held accountable for achieving results.
The vast majority of students can achieveand we must expect them to achieveto grade-level standards. Thus, we must hold schools and districts accountable for ensuring that they provide proper instruction for students to meet those standards. Research tells us that a very small percentage of students with disabilities, however, may not ever achieve grade-level proficiency, even with the very best instruction. That is why the Department issued regulations under Title I that permit States to hold students with the most significant cognitive disabilities to alternate achievement standards and to include their proficient scores (subject to a 1.0 percent cap) in determining adequate yearly progress (AYP) under Title I. These regulations are good practice and ensure that schools and districts receive credit for the work they are doing with these students. Without those regulations, a school and district would have little incentive to hold these students to any standards or devote adequate resources toward their instruction because their assessment scores would be considered not proficient. I most certainly want schools and districts to be held accountable for these students, as well as for all other students.
In addition to students with the most significant cognitive disabilities, research now indicates that there is another group of students with disabilities who can make significant progress but may not reach grade-level achievement standards within the same time frame as other students. This research shows that, even after receiving the best-designed instructional interventions from highly trained instructors, a group of students with academic disabilities, comprising approximately two percent of the school-age population, is not able to achieve at grade level. They are able to make significant progress toward grade-level standards when provided high-quality instructional interventions and measured with appropriate assessment instruments.
As a result, the Department intends to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking in the near future that would permit States: (a) to develop modified achievement standards for a limited group of students with disabilities, as defined in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, (b) to develop alternate assessments (based on those modified achievement standards) that are aligned with grade-level content standards, and (c) to include proficient scores from these assessments (subject to a 2.0 percent cap at the district and State level) in determining AYP. The goal of these regulations would be to ensure that States hold those students to challenging, though modified, achievement standards that enable them to approach, and even meet, grade-level standards; ensure these students access to the general curriculum; measure their progress with high-quality alternate assessments; provide guidance and training to Individualized Education Program teams to identify these students properly; and provide professional development to regular and special education teachers regarding successful interventions.
In the interim, for the 2004-05 AYP determinations only, as a matter of policy in holding States accountable under the law, I am permitting qualified States to exercise additional flexibility in making AYP determinations for the students with disabilities subgroup for the 2005-06 school year, based on assessments administered to those students during the 2004-05 school year. To qualify to exercise this flexibility this year, a State must be meeting specific core requirements of NCLB related to students with disabilities. The State must also provide information on actions it has taken to raise achievement for all students with disabilities, as well as address the activities it has taken or will take to ensure that students who need to take a modified assessment are able to make significant progress toward reaching grade-level standards. In separate documents, we are providing you additional guidance regarding the process for requesting approval to amend your State accountability plan to incorporate this flexibility.
As I have said before, I absolutely believe this is the right approach for students. We have much work ahead of us to improve the instruction and assessment system for students with disabilities, and I look forward to working with you toward this end.

The Yankees are finishing off a contract with closer Mariano Rivera and expect the deal to be completed by Friday, according to a baseball official who was consulted on the contract.
The two sides have agreed on the parameters of a one-year deal, the official said, and spent Thursday trying to finish off final details of Rivera's salary and incentives.
As ESPNNewYork.com reported Wednesday, Rivera is expected to take a pay cut from the $15 million he earned in 2012, and is likely to be guaranteed a salary in the neighborhood of $11-12 million. The deal is expected to include incentives that would allow him to reach $15 million in earnings if he is healthy enough to pitch all season.

There aren't many people who would leave a thriving, family-owned law practice to become a leading conservationist in their home state. But Brad Wyche is not most people. After years of practicing law in South Carolina, Brad Wyche decided it was time to trade the courtroom for South Carolina's vast array of marsh lands, swamps, rivers, gorges and mountains.
As a result, Wyche has become a prominent fixture of South Carolina's environmental and conservation efforts and along the way has founded Upstate Forever, a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and protection of land and natural resources in Upstate South Carolina. For his efforts, Wyche has been recognized with numerous awards and has served on a variety of environmentally friendly boards and committees.
Still its quite clear from a brief conversation with him that he's not concerned with accolades or recognition but is steadfastly dedicated to the protection of South Carolina's future.
NOBLE: What makes us any different than North Carolina, Georgia, Oregon or any other state for that matter when it comes to our natural resources?
WYCHE: We have almost a third of the salt marsh acreage on the East Coast. The Blue Ridge Escarpment is globally significant because of the rapid change in topography and the diversity of plant life there. We've got these great black rivers; the Edisto River. What an incredible river. It's one of the longest black-water rivers in the world. We just have a ton of great natural resources here. I would put South Carolina up against any other state or any other country in terms of natural resources.
NOBLE: How does South Carolina compare in terms of us being good stewards of our abundance of natural resources?
WYCHE: We have some great conservation success stories in the state that have been primarily driven by the private sector. For example, there's the work that my father did in the mountains; and really he was the catalyst for that. And he'd be the first to tell you that he couldn't have done it without the State's Department of Natural Resources and Parks, Recreation, and Tourism, and the Department of Interior. They were very supportive. But he really led the effort. And then down the coast the great conservation success story with the ACE Basin. That was really an effort led by the private sector. The effort in saving the Congaree Swamp was a grassroots effort by our citizens. So a lot of the conservation success that we have here is due to private, grass roots efforts with the state coming in, sort of later in the game and being very supportive. I think it's unfortunate in South Carolina that we do not devote a substantial amount of state funding to the protection of our natural resources. These natural resources can be a huge boost to our economy.
NOBLE: Is there a way that we can leverage our natural resources into other "world class" attainments, growth, expansion, consciousness? How do we use these resources to ratchet up other parts of the state that need a lot of help?
WYCHE: There's a growing industry of eco-tourism. More and more people are enjoying getting outdoors and they're taking trips that are sort of adventure based. I think we could really tap into that growing industry of eco-tourism. For example, National Geographic named the Jocassee Gorges in northern Pickens County as one of the 50 great places in the world. It's a spectacular place where very few people in South Carolina; very few people in Pickens County, have ever visited. Not to pick on Pickens, but they're trying to revitalize their city, revitalize their downtown. They have one of the world's greatest places right there in their backyard. That ought to be the focus of economic development. You have this phenomenal place ten minutes away from downtown Pickens.
NOBLE: You believe we can leverage those resources without adversely affecting the environment?
WYCHE: I do. As more and more people come to enjoy the resources and spend money and provide jobs, we have to make sure that the use of those natural resources is properly managed. It'd be a nice problem to have in managing those folks. The way that we market and publicize our natural resources here in the state is pretty pitiful.
NOBLE: What are the barriers that you see to our being able to leverage our natural resources to help the state reach this "world class" level?
WYCHE: I think one of the barriers as I see it is convincing our elected officials how important these natural resources are. I think it would be useful to actually get them out in the field to see them. We can send letters and photographs and power point presentations all we want, but we really need to get them out there. To walk through Jocassee Gorge or take a raft trip down the Chattooga River. To take the Jones Gap Trail. I think more of that would help them to really appreciate what we have. We need to do a better job of showing the link between these natural resources and economic prosperity; quantifying eco-tourism in South Carolina and how it can lead to jobs. We can use the USC Moore School study about the value of our natural resources. That is a great study with a lot of good research. With solid findings and really big numbers in there. I think we all need to keep that study on our desk and look at it a lot.

Posted on 04/08/2011 1:22:30 PM PDT by Sarabaracuda
Spain emerged as one of the most anti-Semitic countries in the European Union in 2010, and the Spanish government has done nothing about it, according to the authors of an annual report that tracks anti-Semitic violence on the Iberian Peninsula. The "dangerous" and "extraordinary" rise in anti-Semitism comes at a time when Spain is mired in the worst economic recession in its modern history, and the authors of the report conclude that Jews are increasingly becoming a scapegoat for the economic and social problems facing Spain.
The document titled "Report on Anti-Semitism in Spain in 2010" was jointly produced by the Observatory on Anti-Semitism in Spain, an arm of the Federation of Jewish Communities in Spain (FCJE), and a non-governmental organization called the Movement against Intolerance. The report was made public at a well attended press conference in Madrid on March 30.
The report, which says there were around 400 anti-Semitic incidents in Spain during 2010, records anti-Semitic attacks on persons and on property, anti-Semitism in the Spanish media and on the Internet, efforts to trivialize the Jewish Holocaust, dissemination of anti-Semitic literature, as well as anti-Semitism in public institutions.
The report also provides data derived from opinion polls. For example, according to a poll commissioned by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 58.4% of Spaniards believe that "the Jews are powerful because they control the economy and the mass media." This number reaches 62.2% among university students and 70.5% among those who are "interested in politics." More than 60% of Spanish university students say they do not want Jewish classmates. "These numbers are as surprising as they are worrying: the most anti-Semitic people are supposedly the most educated and well-informed," the report says.
In other polling data, more than one-third (34.6%) of Spanish people have an unfavorable or completely unfavorable opinion of Jewish people. But as in other European countries, anti-Semitism is more prevalent on the political left than it is on the political right. For example, 34% of those on the far right say they are hostile to Jews, while 37.7% of those on the center-left are hostile to Jews. And sympathy for Jews among the extreme right (4.9 on a scale of 1-10) is above the average for the population as a whole (4.6).
Among those who recognize themselves as having "antipathy for the Jewish people," only 17% says this is due to the "conflict in the Middle East." Nearly 30% of those surveyed say their dislike of Jews has to do with "their religion," "their customs," and "their way of life." Nearly 20% of Spaniards say they dislike Jews although they do not know why.
The new findings corroborate earlier research. For example, according to a September 2008 study published by the Washington, DC-based Pew Research Center, nearly half of all Spaniards have negative views of Jews, a statistic that marks Spain as one of the most anti-Semitic countries in Europe. According to Pew, 46% of Spaniards hold negative opinions of Jews, up more than double from the 21% of Spaniards with such views in 2005.
Spain is also the only country in Europe where negative views of Jews outweigh positive views; only 37% of Spaniards think favorably about Jews. By comparison, 36% of Poles have negative views of Jews while 50% have positive views; in Germany, 25% negative versus 64% positive; in France, 20% negative versus 79% positive; and in Britain, 9% negative versus 73% positive. (By way of comparison, according to Pew, 77% of Americans have favorable views toward Jews, compared to 7% unfavorable.)
Another report about European anti-Semitism published by the New York-based Anti-Defamation League says that 54% of Spaniards believe that "Jews have too much power in international markets." And 51% of Spaniards believe that "Jews are more loyal to Israel than to this country."
The survey data on Spanish anti-Semitism raises many questions, including one that seems never to have been asked: How many Spaniards have actually ever met a Jew? Not very many, it would appear. In fact, Spain today has one of the smallest Jewish communities in Europe; the country has only around 40,000 Jews out of a total Spanish population of 47 million, which works out to less than 0.08 percent.
By contrast, in France -- which with 500,000 Jews has the third largest Jewish population in the world (after Israel and the United States) -- attitudes towards Jews are relatively positive when compared to those in Spain. (Of course, it is entirely possible that Spaniards are just being more honest than other Europeans about their true feelings towards Jews, thereby skewing the statistics and masking the true extent of the problem on other parts of the continent. After all, there are good reasons why more than one quarter of French Jewry wants to leave France.)
What explains the dramatic increase in Spanish anti-Semitism since 2005, especially considering that the only exposure most Spaniards have ever had to Jews is through television?
Pew, in a politically correct sleight-of-hand, says the blame lies with "those who place themselves near the right end of the political spectrum." But most professional observers of contemporary Spanish politics lay the blame squarely with Socialist Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, who took office in 2004, and since then has managed to drive Spanish-Israeli relations to their worst point since bilateral diplomatic ties were established in 1986.
Zapatero, who makes no secret of his postmodern dislike of Zionism, is well known in Spain for his anti-Israel and anti-Jewish outbursts. At a dinner party in the Moncloa Palace (the Spanish White House) in 2005, for example, Zapatero addressed his guests by launching into a tirade of anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist rhetoric that ended with the phrase: "It is understandable that someone might justify the Holocaust."
Zapatero has also sought to restore Spain's traditionally strong ties with the Arab world by ingratiating himself with Israel's enemies. During the 2006 Lebanon War, for example, Zapatero participated in an anti-Israel rally where he wrapped himself in a Palestinian kaffiyeh (scarf) and gratuitously accused Israel of using "abusive force that does not protect innocent human beings." Zapatero then dispatched his foreign minister to Syria, a move the Israeli foreign ministry said proved that the Spanish government was "closer to Hezbollah terrorists than to the Israeli government."
Zapatero, who refuses to visit Israel (even though the two countries commemorated 20 years of diplomatic ties in 2006), also refers to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a "cancer" that is metastasizing into all the other conflicts in the region. As a disciple of postmodern moral equivalency, Zapatero naturally believes the "cancer" is Israel, not Islamic terrorism.
Spanish anti-Semitism is also being stoked by the non-stop anti-Israel rhetoric of Spain's leftwing intellectual and media elites, most of whom are enthusiastic sycophants of Zapatero and his pro-Arab, pro-Islam worldview. Indeed, Spanish radio, television and print media, much of which is directly or indirectly controlled by the Socialist government, is notoriously biased against Israel. As most Spaniards do not speak foreign languages, they have little or no access to alternative sources of information, which goes a long way toward explaining Spanish attitudes towards Jews, especially of the Israeli variety.
Add to this the Spanish media's bizarre obsession with neo-conservatism, which in Spain has become a pejorative term denoting a conspiracy to promote Jewish domination of the world. Many ordinary Spaniards, who otherwise show little interest in foreign affairs, seem to have deep-seated opinions about those Jews Frum, Kristol, Pearle, Podhertz and Wolfowitz, et al.
Zapatero and his cabinet ministers have also played the neo-con card to explain to the Spanish public why the Spanish economy is tottering on the edge of catastrophe. Although analysts had warned for many years that the Spanish housing bubble was unsustainable, Zapatero ignored them, saying those fears were overblown. But now that the bubble has burst, Spain's unemployment rate has skyrocketed to more than 20%, the highest level in the industrialized world. Some 4.7 million Spaniards are now without work and looking for someone to blame.
Zapatero says Spain's problems are due to "the neo-conservative model based on capitalism without borders nor limits nor ethics." That's postmodern Zapatero-speak for "the Jews are to blame." More recently, Zapatero ordered Spain's official intelligence agency, the National Intelligence Center (CNI), to investigate whether the "Anglo-Saxon media" (aka the English-language press dominated by Jews) is conspiring to undermine the Spanish economy.
The official anti-Semitic rhetoric in Spain has reached such a fever pitch that members of the U.S. Congress recently sent a letter to Zapatero in which they expressed their concerns about growing anti-Semitism in Spain. The ADL has also published a special report titled "Polluting the Public Square: Anti-Semitic Discourse In Spain." The report says: "ADL is deeply concerned about the mainstreaming of anti-Semitism in Spain, with more public expressions and greater public acceptance. Opinion makers in the media and in politics are crossing the line that separates legitimate criticism of Israeli actions from anti-Semitism and the results are evident."
But just as Spaniards get smug about their self-perceived racial superiority, along comes a study which says that many Spanish anti-Semites actually have Jewish blood. An examination of the genetic signatures of the Spanish population shows that 20% of contemporary Spaniards have Jewish origins. As it turns out, far fewer Jews than previously thought complied with the Edict of Expulsion in 1492, by which the estimated 800,000 Jews in Spain were ordered to leave the country. Many of them simply converted to Roman Catholicism instead.
Many of those so-called conversos tried to blend in by adopting surnames that indicated trades or professions. One such Sephardic name is Zapatero, which means shoemaker.
Let's just say not too many in the SS shed a tear when Heydrich was assassinated.
There was a scene in the mini-series "Holocaust", where Heydrich's replacement, Kaltenbrunner, alluded to Heydrich on his deathbed crying for forgiveness. But I don't know if that had any basis in fact or not.
"Franco was the best thing that ever happened to Spain"
Franco was AWESOME. The LIBERALS thought they could FINALLY get a Communist government installed in Western Europe, and he would have nothing to do with it.
The liberals may hate Franco, but they're just sore losers.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
1391 C.E. Persecutions in Spain. In Seville and 70 other Jewish communities, the Jews were cruelly massacred and their bodies dismembered.
1478 C.E. The Spanish inquisition directed against the Jews.
1492 C.E. The banishment of Jews from Spain. 300,000 Jews who refused to be "baptized" into the Church of Rome left Spain penniless. Many migrated to the *Muslim country, Turkey, where they found tolerance and a welcome.
1497 C.E. Banishment of the Jews from Portugal. King Manuel, generally friendly to the Jews, under pressure from Spain instigated forced baptism to keep the Jews. 20,000 Jews desired to leave the country. Many were ultimately declared slaves.
At the time of the Inquisition, almost half the population of Spain was Jewish.
Many still have Jewish surnames, as do many who were expelled & went to S AmericA & other Spanish colonies.
It is a disgrace, & the Leftist Zapatero shares much of the blame for stirring up these ancient batters.
Barry must be planning a State Dinner for his fellow anti-Semite Zapatero.
Oh the Protestants hate the Catholics
And the Catholics hate the Protestants
And the Hindus hate the Moslems
And everybody hates the Jews
-Tom Lehrer, National Brotherhood Week
Half of Spain was never Jewish. Perhaps 5% were.
Is this the afterglow of the glorious days of the Islamic Caliphate-and Cordoba? I seem to recall Christopher Columbus making some reference to the defeat of the Mahattmodans, somewhere in his diaries? Or was the Spanish form of Christianity the weaker brother to begin with? My reading of the letter that we suppose were written by the Apostle Paul
raised a Jew, trained as a Pharisee—his letter to the believers at Rome (Romans) suggests G-d has NOT cut/broken off
His beloved people.If G-d ain't done with the Jews -Salvation must yet come from Jerusalem.And Jerusalem Not Spain will prove our salvation.
Get yourself a Math tutor ASAP. While you're at it, get a reading tutor as well.
The article clearly states that 20% of modern Spaniards carry genetic markers showing Jewish ancestry.
Even taking into account conversion,, most of the Jewish population was expelled from Spain in 1492.
Using some kind of new, fake anti-Sarko math?
5% of the population can, over time, leave a much larger footprint. However, my Phoenician point remains.
