|Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to the UN General Assembly on Iran's nuclear capabilities has been welcomed in the Israeli press, and derided by Iranian media.
The election ahead brings another dangerous ticking time bomb. Israeli newspaper commentators say Netanyahu's speech as confirmation that the country is planning a military strike against Iran.So the most serious issue facing the world and this clown shows up with a Acme bomb and a red sharpie. If you didn't have doubts about this man's stability before, this seals the deal. Embarrassment for Israel. When will they realize they are losing not only face, but serious influence as well.That cartoon bomb says it all. You would think the UN was a class of children requiring red marker instruction on the dreaded line. Netanyahu is pompous and opinionated, but also dangerous. Given that Israel possesses hundreds of nukes and has a history of aggression in the region, he is in no position to point the finger. In the centrist Yediot Aharonot, Nahum Barnea says: "If one takes Netanyahu's statements seriously, within months at the most, if Iran is not deterred and if the United States does not attack, Israel will attack alone".Benjamin Netanyahu is not one who sees himself willed by God to take on Iran -- he is much too secular for that -- but there is ample reason to think he sees himself as the savior of the Jewish people, what the Israeli novelist David Grossman has called his "megalomaniacal" vision. Netanyahu insists that Iran is developing a nuclear weapon to most likely use against Israel. He points to the repellent anti-Semitic and anti-Zionistic statements of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and, most chillingly, to analogous statements made by Adolf Hitler. For a time, few took Hitler seriously, either. Funny how the only country with nukes in the middle east wants to make sure no one else has them...I think Netanyahu made a huge mistake here. Firstly, he failed to mention that a RED LINE had already been set several years ago when Iran was warned not to enrich uranium beyond the 3% or so required for power generation, but Iran still went ahead to enrich up to 20% saying that they needed it for medical Isotopes even though Russia, and Western powers were willing to provide them all the enriched uranium they needed for medical research. Believe me I know that Iran's President Ahmadinejad is a nut case , yes he has denied the Holocaust , and threatened to blow Israel off the map , but I have to say the same for Netanyahu who for me is another nut who wants to start a war and drag the United States into another war. The Israeli Prime minister can care less . It's Déjà vu again . Ahmadinejad , on CBS last week he waxed rationally: "Let's even imagine that we have an atomic weapon, a nuclear weapon. What would we do with it? What intelligent person would fight 5,000 American bombs with one bomb?" Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton had met in New York with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after he delivered a speech to the U.N. General Assembly likely to focus heavily on the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran.Because somebody, years ago, decided to tag the United States as Israel's nursemaid and protector. We've had to pour over 100 billion dollars of OUR money into this ungrateful child's mouth and all we've got to show for it is attitude and terrorists coming to our door to see who's supplying their oppressor.Now they're interfering in our presidential politics and it's time to draw a red line across Israel. If they want to pick a fight with Iran, let them. And let them learn from it. But leave the US out of it. We're tired of war and we're tired of Netanyahu.

I'm of two minds about the title of this book by Donna Leon. The title, The Girl of his Dreams, suggests that the book is a romance, but this book falls into the mystery genre. It is however, a great title for this book. "The girl of his dreams" is a young gypsy girl who has fallen into a canal in Venice, and her image haunts Commissario Guido Brunetti's dreams.
The girl is gypsy, or Rom, as they are now called by the commissario's politically correct superiors. The Rom in Italy live on the fringes of society, and survive by working where they can, or stealing. Often the children are sent to do the stealing because they cannot be charged with theft.
In the book the child has slipped into the canal, drowned, and stolen goods are found on her during the autopsy. But did she slip, or was she pushed. That is what Brunetti wants to find out. But while his superiors attend conferences on dealing with the ostracized, and write memos about cultural sensitivity, they are quick to throw up their hands and dismiss this case. With single-minded determination Brunetti fits together the pieces of this puzzle, and all the while the reader suspects he may be committing professional suicide.
This book is more than just a murder mystery. Particularly enjoyable are the glimpses we get of everyday life in Venice. The Venitians set their own pace centering on family, food, and friendships. This was the first Donna Leon mystery I've read, and I will definitely try others.

25 confirmed dead in mining accident
This is so sad and so infuritating. This company has a poor safety record. Who knows how many of these 25 people would be alive today if this company cared as much about its workers as it does about making money. Four people are still alive, but their prospects are poor. My heart goes out to these families.
Search for miners after deadly blast could take days
Montcoal, West Virginia (CNN) -- It could take up to two days to drill bore holes into a sprawling West Virginia coal mine, scene of a massive blast that left at least 25 miners dead, a mining official said Tuesday.
Bulldozers will be used to clear a path through the hills and bring in equipment to reach the affected part of the Upper Big Branch Mine, Kevin Stricklin of the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration said.
The holes will be drilled 1,200 feet down to help ventilate the mine and collect samples. Rescue crews early Tuesday halted their efforts to reach four miners still unaccounted for, as concentrations of methane and carbon monoxide posed a safety risk, Stricklin said.

Peter Watts: Post Verdict Thoughts and Observations
Kennedy Space Center, FL - Peter Watt's was found guilty of assaulting US Customs and Border Protection officer Andrew Beaudry. He will be sentenced on April 26. There are a few loose ends that need tying up so let's get started.
The Port Huron paper was the only news organization that actually showed up in person to listen watch and report the trial. Of the day and half I was there to compare what they wrote to what I saw and heard, they were accurate. My personal preference would have been for a little more detail but they only have so many inches to give to each story.
Mr. Watts legitimately complained that with one exception, no one running this story anywhere in the media approached him for his side of the story.
But in terms of actual mainstream coverage — well, for example, we've got four newspapers here in Toronto. All have covered the verdict to some degree. None, though, have approached me for comment. The closest I got to a question from the press was when the National Post left a voicemail saying they'd already written a story, thank you, but could I provide them with a photo to go with it? Even the reporter from the Times-Herald — the only journalist in sight during the actual trial — wasn't up for so much as casual eye contact as far as I could tell.
Peter Watts' Blog: Undemocratic Journalism
What Mr. Watts may not have understood is that the rest of the media that ran that story took it off the wire services that took it from the Port Huron Herald. Watching the stories evolve from the original work has been entertaining. It is interesting to see the slant on each version.
Mr. Watts himself wrote a very eloquent piece about the verdict.
Nor do I have any complaints about the Prosecutor. She seems like a nice person, and while she tried her best to nail me to the wall she never went over the line (beyond a certain fondness for hyperbole, which I gather is part of the game). She did her job; she obviously did it well enough; and under other circumstances I could see myself having drinks and swapping arguments with the lady.
I have no complaints about the judge, a seventysomething Irish dude with a fondness for St Patrick's Day who drives a blood-red 'vette. He was polite, he kept things as light-hearted as could reasonably be expected, and (most importantly) he appeared impartial.
I don't even have complaints about all of the border guards. Behrendt started the ball rolling and Beaudry channeled Eric Cartman to a degree I'd not have thought possible for a live-action character, but I get the sense the others just got caught up in the turbulence.
Finally, I have no complaints about the jury. The fact that it took them so bloody long to deliberate suggests to me that they took their job seriously. Based on what little I could tell during the selection process, they seemed like decent folks. And while I profoundly disagree with their verdict, I can certainly see how they arrived at it, given the constraints of the statute.
Peter Watt's Blog: Guilty
Considering everything that happened to him on the day of his arrest and since that time, that was remarkably gracious and humble.
Speaking of blogging, Cory Doctorow immediately joined the fray once the verdict come down. Once again firing up his congregation of anarchists with little concern for the facts. He wrote:
That's apparently the statute: if you don't comply fast enough with a customs officer, he can beat you, gas you, jail you and then imprison you for two years. This isn't about safety, it isn't about security, it isn't about the rule of law.
It's about obedience.
Authoritarianism is a disease of the mind. It criminalizes the act of asking "why?" It is the obedience-sickness that turns good people into perpetrators and victims of atrocities great and small.
Cory Doctorow writing on BoingBoing
Cory is still suffering from story-too-good-to-check-syndrome. His views on everything from the United States to copyrights to government are quite naive and immature.
There are a few more matters being reported and blogged that are being actively disputed by Mr. Watts and the all-knowing people writing and commenting on BoingBong. Mr. Watts and BoingBoing both claim that he was not found guilty of assault, let alone assault on a police officer. I checked the on line court records. Then I called the court clerk. She verified the conviction on record is accurate.
The fact is that Mr. Watts' conviction is for assault. This is because the charge, Michigan 750.81(d)1 comes under Chapter IX - Assaults. The State of Michigan defines any physical resisting or physical obstruction of a police officer as assault. Here is the text:
750.81 Assault and battery; penalties; applicability to individual using necessary reasonable physical force in compliance with § 380.1312 of the revised school code; "dating relationship" defined.
Sec. 750.81d(1) Except as provided in subsections (2), (3), and (4), an individual who assaults, batters, wounds, resists, obstructs, opposes, or endangers a person who the individual knows or has reason to know is performing his or her duties is guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 2 years or a fine of not more than $2,000.00, or both.
This idea may have originated with someone calling them self "Proudinjun" who claims to have been on the jury. This person is posting far and wide across the internet offering pearls of wisdom and insight from inside the jury room. One of those pearls of wisdom is that the jury did not find Watts guilty of assault.
As a member of the jury that convicted Mr. Watts today, I have a few comments to make. The jury's task was not to decide who we liked better. The job of the jury was to decide whether Mr. Watts "obstructed/resisted" the custom officials. Assault was not one of the charges. What it boiled down to was Mr. Watts did not follow the instructions of the customs agents. Period. He was not violent, he was not intimidating, he was not stopping them from searching his car. He did, however, refuse to follow the commands by his non compliance. He's not a bad man by any stretch of the imagination. The customs agents escalted the situation with sarcasm and miscommunication. Unfortunately, we were not asked to convict those agents with a crime, although, in my opinion, they did commit offenses against Mr. Watts. Two wrongs don't make a right, so we had to follow the instructions as set forth to us by the judge.
The Times Herald: Comment for Jury finds author Watts guilty
Originally I wanted to see the trial to see if the bloggers, journalists and others that were bound to write about this all went to the same trial. It never crossed my mind that I would have to apply the same standard to the jurors.
However, based on what Proudinjun wrote it cannot be avoided now. After the jury was selected the judge read the above statute in its entirety. I managed to get much of it down on paper in my notes. Then he explained the elements of the charge the prosecution would be required to prove in order for the jury to convict Mr. Watts. That explanation is also paraphrased in my notes. Judge Adair used the word assault twice more by my notes.
That leaves
two possibilities only one possibility. Proudinjun somehow missed or forgot the judge's explanation at the beginning of the trial. Either that or is simply lying about being on the jury. (Proudinjun has since been verified as a jury member by Mr. Watts.) I was not present to hear the final instructions to the jury before they went to deliberate so I cannot speak to the last thing they heard before going in to deliberate.
Proudinjun's desire to convict the officers of a crime speaks volumes about where their head is at. It does leave one very big unanswered question. If this person felt this strongly about the way the case went and the actions of the US Customs and Border Protection officers, why did they vote to convict? All it takes is one juror and no conviction.
I don't see a gray area here. Under Michigan law, Mr. Watts is guilty. He was guilty the minute he declined Officer Behrendt's offer to hand cuff him by pulling away from her and the other officer. Personally speaking based on what testimony I heard, I don't think this stacks up to a Felony. I understand what happened. I understand why it happened. I even understand why the law is written as it is.
In a perfect world the events surrounding this case would draw an "Offsetting penalties, repeat the down" call. But this is not a perfect world. Our laws must be one size fits all. Without that standard of law enforcement the guarantee that everyone regardless of race, color, religion, sexual orientation, nationality or social status (Did I miss anyone?) all get the same treatment would be impossible. Unfortunately due to differences in personalities, culture and even language, that means some are going to get a better fit then others.
The US government had no choice but to seek a conviction to protect itself from civil liability. The jury had no choice but to weigh the evidence against the elements of charge and rule accordingly.
There is another matter here that needs addressing. Referring back to the court printout, you will see a habitual offender, second offense charge. Back in 1991, Mr. Watts had another brush with the law. Interestingly enough, it was challenging an officer's authority on a stop.
In 1991, while riding my bicycle along a deserted road at 2 a.m., I was pulled over by a cop; apparently I had not come to a complete stop during a right turn a half-block previously. I wanted to know what my legal rights and obligations were (that's exactly how I put it) before presenting ID — my thinking being, since I was not driving a motor vehicle, I probably wasn't even obligated to be carrying ID. So I asked the cop about my rights and obligations; he repeated his demand; I said I wanted an answer; I was arrested.
$400 to the Salvation Army and it went away: conditional discharge, which under Canadian Law means that there's no conviction and my record is clear. If Fritz wants to call the Guelph courthouse, he may be able to prevail upon them to send him an official notice to the effect that all the relevant records have long since been destroyed because it was such a dick-ass case.
Peter Watts' Blog: Comments on Undemocratic Journalism
My friend, what is it with you and badges?
Peter's claim there is no record of a conviction involving him anywhere in Canada is defective. If there were no record, the US prosecutor wouldn't know about it. By Canadian law, he may be able to legitimately claim he has no record to the private sector. But the law enforcement side still has a record of it. Deferred or not, it is still a conviction as far as future infractions go. This makes sense. Without this kind of a system very few people would get a second offense. Just lots and lots of first ones.
I spent a long time pondering this entry. If it were not for some misinformation out there it may not have been written at all.
I like Peter Watts. In fact I intend to donate to the kibble fund. My feeling matches my new acquaintance, Jamie Mason, this was the perfect storm. What we had here was a combination of several things the made this mess possible. We have Peter Watts with a habit of questioning (and possibly even contempt for) authority, completely lacking in street smarts and apparently unaware he and his vehicle can be legally searched on either side of an international border. We have US Customs and Border protection officers that are trained to respond in certain ways based on the actions of the subject they are in contact with, they nervous about officer safety and dealing with someone they don't know from Elmer Fudd who just got out of the car and refuses to get back in it or step away from it.
That volatile mixture hit critical mass and the rest is history.
Mr. Watts is very grateful to Doctorow and all the others that spread the word about his plight and jumped on the band wagon with moral and financial support. They raised a fairly large quantity of money to pay for his defense. I feel that the public defender's office and their limited resources would have been unable to deliver a good defense here. So in spite of the bad taste left in my mouth left by Cory and Co's playing "real journalist," I do give a grudging tip of the hat to Doctorow. All of those people did a good thing for a friend in trouble.
When it comes down to it, that is one of the most important things that we can do in this life.
Laws are like sausages, it is better not to see them being made.

I drink it because I like the taste, so why would I want to disguise it as something else? I'm drinking rum because I like the taste of rum; with a splash of something extra perhaps, but the essence is pure.
Is that why they're called spirits? Because you can taste the essence of each drink, and each one slips a bit into you as you slip a bit into it. Each Spirit its own. Unique.
Juice ruins that. Soda hides it away.
No no no. I like my Spirits strong. My drinks pure.
Bottoms up.

Avery rolled over today from her tummy to her back! I wasn't quick enough to capture it on video, but I will try again later! Hopefully I can post it soon.
In other news, Avery went the whole night without eating! I guess she technically "slept through the night," but it did involve me up every hour or so to soothe her back to sleep with her pacifier. This is something I've always done, and at least once or twice during the night she couldn't be soothed back to sleep from crying and would need to eat. Not last night! Hopefully this is just the beginning and in time she will get better at soothing herself back to sleep.. or not waking at all!
Yesterday we went in for her 4-month doctor appointment... I'm guessing the shots did her well!
Avery's new thing is to sit in her bouncer seat with her feet up in the air!

Except, of course, this morning, when it dressed up as June and we awoke to a shockingly cool fifty-five degrees. The sun was up, big in the east, and the birds were out, perched on shadow-kissed branches and boughs, singing in short staccato bursts that matched the marching of the relentlessly searching ants, who wound up and down the trunks of the trees or fanned out over the still cool sidewalks. Or perhaps it was the other way around, the ants keeping time with the birds. Our nights have been unusually cool this year, but our mornings have been typically hot and dry, even by 8 AM. This morning was too good to pass up, so Duncan and I leashed up and went outside for a long tromp through the tall, wet grass.
The rabbits which seemed to have taken over the world only a few months back have all but vanished. We see them only occasionally, just after dawn, when the sun is still low but steadily climbing, or in the evenings, after it has set and the shadows have swallowed the world, which turns from blue to purple before our eyes. They sit in the grass on the edges of the lawns, their backs hunched up behind them while they try their hardest to look like small stumps or gray stones. Duncan loves to watch them even more than the squirrels, who scamper up trees and rain down curses on us from above once they're well out of reach. The rabbits sit, their ears up and twitching, their bodies tense and ready to spring, but they allow us to get quite close before they bound away into the low shrubs along the sides of the buildings, flashing their tails and the white bottoms of their furry hind feet as they go.
I like the rabbits, too, but even more I like watching Duncan watch them, the way he leans forward and his face turns solid and determined, like a hunter, like something on the prowl. But his ears stay up and his eyes stay wide and friendly and I can see that more than wanting to catch them and eat them, he wants to sniff and turn them over and bury his nose in their bellies. He wants to play and lick them and roll on the ground next to them, maybe get carried away and roll over them. He wants to make them his friends. I know this because I know my dog.
The rabbit we saw this morning was still small and quite lean, but once he fills out will make a handsome Jack. He crouched near one of the bushes whose short, stubby leaves stay poison-apple red all year, and just a few feet from the parking lot. Just behind him an obscenely yellow Penske truck had parked and a group of young women attired in CSU sweatshirts and baseball hats and very short shorts were busy unloading it and carrying its contents into their new apartment. They were a bit loud and obnoxious for 8 AM and I suspect that several of them were probably still a little drunk from whatever misadventures they'd had last night. The rabbit was well aware of them but he also had to contend with Duncan and myself creeping up on him from the front. Other than his ears, which turned this way and that, back and forth from the sound of the former sorority sisters to our gentle push through the damp grass, he did not move. Perhaps he was one of the ones we've encountered a hundred times before, who knew that Duncan never gets too close but instead takes slow and cautious steps, his eyes wide with wonder and curiosity rather than hunger.
He eventually stopped listening to us and kept his ears turned toward the women, who struggled to carry a heavy black leather sofa down the truck ramp. At the tops of the red bushes behind him several small sparrows squeaked and hopped and some alighted on the ground beneath them, pecking and darting quickly with the awkward convulsive grace of heavy brown butterflies. Each of their movements stirred the thin branches of the shrubs, bending and rustling the twigs and leaves as they went. The bunny listened to them as well, but when the couch was dropped quite suddenly the birds lost his attention, which was once again focused on the movers. After some time they were able to lift the thing and carry it across the parking-lot and into their new home. The bunny relaxed and the yard become very quiet and not even the birds sang. Duncan had stopped his slow advance but kept a single paw raised in the air before him. He turned and glanced at me and then went back to watching the bunny, who seemed content with our presence and the gentle rustling in bushes behind him. He took a cautious hop forward and began chewing on a bee-less patch of clover.
The cat was swift. It sprang from the red shrub and landed on the rear haunch of the rabbit, whose body elongated as it stretched to bound away but was caught. Rather than launch into the air it fell flat on its belly, its legs splayed out around it, ears standing tall above it. Duncan jerked on the leash and it was a moment before I realized what had happened. The rabbit let out a squeal, a high-pitched sound I will probably hear in my head for the next few days, and tried to kick but the cat, sitting full on top of it held it down and curled its claws into its prey.
"Hey," I said, holding Duncan back. Then, "Hey," again, louder. This time I let the leash go slack and Duncan leapt forward dragging me along with him. "Get out of here," I yelled and waved my free arm over my head. The cat, who hadn't seen us, looked up, its eyes wide, shocked that its plan had gone so terribly awry, and jumped clear, back into the bushes where we heard it scamper off around the side of the building. The rabbit jumped straight into the air and kicked with its long hind feet before bounding around us in a wide arc then across the yard, kicking every third hop. Duncan turned to follow but I reeled him in and we watched the rabbit dive head first into a dense thicket of brambles and vanish.
Duncan plopped down next to me, his tongue out, his ears up and alert, a big, goofy Golden grin spread across his face. I may think what I want of July, but Duncan knows better. The world is full of surprises and he is here to marvel at each of them.

Apollo 13 (1995) – 4.5/5
Great suspenseful drama that's a little cheesy at times but is so well written, well shot, and well acted that such small lapses into melodrama are completely forgivable, and, occasionally, necessary given the otherwise isolated circumstances the characters find themselves in for a good portion of the film. And this from Ron Howard of all people, a director I long ago dismissed as being little more than a spoiled product of Hollywood privilege. That's not to say this was a huge artistic leap forward for him by any stretch of the imagination, but as a film, it certainly stands on its own as a great piece of cinema, with Howard's simplistic filmmaking style complementing his film for once rather than taking away from it. Well done.
The film works as well as it does because it's so well told. Well written, well paced, and suspenseful as all hell. The acting is also pretty good, though the real stand out here is Ed Harris who just oozes confident authority whenever he's on-screen. Tom Hanks is good too as the likable super astronaut of sorts, and Kevin Bacon as the sort of villain, though not completely convincing as a character, makes sense given the lack of tangible antagonist. And the special effects are astounding for the time; I don't know how they did it, but everything looks so real, you'd think they actually launched a rocket to the moon and just filmed it all. It looks great, even by today's standards. Heck, I'm willing to bet that, had this been made with today's crappy CGI technology, it wouldn't have looked half as good.
Overall, really great film. Enjoyed the heck out of it. Just a well made, well told film full of thrills and suspense and nail-biting moments milked for all they're worth. It's simple, straight forward filmmaking at its most effective. No reinventing of the wheel here. Just plain, old-fashioned filmmaking at its finest. Worth watching, definitely.

I have questions about whether it's even legal for a major party to hold a caucus this way. The Democrats and the Republicans in Burlington let you vote in their caucuses regardless of how you self-identify in terms of party, so long as you haven't voted in another caucus. I that think not having voted in another party's caucus is the only legal requirement for participating. I guess Jane (and assistant city attorney Gene Bergman) have a different legal opinion. If anybody out there wants to sue the Progs over this, it would certainly be an interesting legal challenge.Pretty astute comments from Mr Bedrosian; BurlingtonPol gets the Burlington pulse, indeed!
The context of all this exclusivity is as interesting as the exclusivity itself. Why are the Progs playing it this way in Ward 2? The simplest answer is usually the right one.
It seems to me the simplest answer is that Knodell is not running again, and the Progs have already chosen the person they'd like to replace her. The secrecy and exclusivity surrounding this caucus are probably designed to create a tightly controlled environment that will ensure the desired winner.
That and the Progs seem to take a sort of holier-than-thou attitude sometimes. Maybe they like to exclude people to a degree. It keeps them in a bubble believeing in their self-importance. Unfortunately for them, that general attitude has been eroding the party's support for years.
Bernie Sanders is a US Senator now. No Progressive will ever rise higher. I predict that at 71 years old, Bernie will win a second senate term, but with a smaller majority than he won over Tarrant. The Progs have already lost one of their four core council seats from Wards 2 and 3. If Democrat David Cain takes Ashe's seat in Ward 3, and if Kiss does not retain the corner office, there will be very little left of the original Progressive movement.
What was once a thriving, inclusive coalition, has become an dying, exclusive party. That's unfortunate. But as they say, "attitude is everything" and Knodell's post clearly exemplifies the very self-rightous attitude Progressives have had for a long time. Progs will deny it, but there is a sort of "two legs good, four legs bad," ends-justify-means hypocrcisy going on there. I've felt it for many years and I'm not alone.

Maybe in Burlington, too? But with the Prog$, it's biz as usual, as Haik writes:

I don't even know what time it is. Or where to begin! We have been working hard. I haven't slept in over 24 hours! We've had so many events to go to. I've changed, well I don't remember how many times. But it's been a lot!
This morning, we went to the lighting of the Christmas tree. It was freezing! Since when is Las Vegas this cold? But it was one of those events we had to go to. In the end we had a lot of fun! And I have a feeling, had we had to stay another 30 minutes, I might have left with a boyfriend. I was that cold! I told the guys, if they could find me a guy, to keep me warm, well he could be my boyfriend. I was only joking, but they thought it was hilarious!
All day we have been on the go. And all day long, I have had my trusty bodyguard following me. He cracks me up! He really does. But I finally got him to talk to me. I offered him some coffee and a donut. I think it made his day. :) I'm telling you, it was freezing! My necklace, at one point, was stuck to my skin. Hello! It was that cold!
I talked to Anna Marie and Joe earlier. Joe is a little sad to be missing all of this. Especially since we are going to the rodeo later. But I know he would be miserable, had he come with us. Miss Emma Grace is definitely a reason to stay home! Anna Marie also told me that we got quite a bit of snow back home. I just knew it would happen! We would get snow when I left! They said we got 2". And everything just stopped. I guess there was no school. And for the most part, the region is barely able to function. We don't get much snow. This is a HUGE deal back home!
Tonight we are playing 2 shows! It's so exciting. I have had a really good time. This time around, Sin City has been really fun. Usually, we don't get to do much. But our gigs and appearances were very different than normal. We all are enjoying that. I am just sad, I haven't got a single glimpse of the NASCAR action!!! What can you do?
I should get going. I am supposed to be in hair and makeup in 30 minutes. And I still have to go try on my dresses for tonight. Fingers crossed that they fit! This morning we had a hard time finding a dress to fit me. Apparently, I lost weight. I still don't know where! But my clothes are a little big this week. :)

June 2015
Communication is a cornerstone of a great strategy; done well it will deliver the desired message and reduce any anxiety that may exist; done poorly and resistance to change will increase and performance may be affected. Justin York MBCS highlights some pitfalls, problems and solutions all too common in communication.
Corporate communication brings a number of problems, and it is necessary to understand the type of issue that you may come across:
Poor response: this refers to a lacklustre response or lack of engagement with a process (usually of change).
Resistance: the actions of people responding to the change do not reflect acceptance, regardless of the initial communication response.
Rumours: employees, when faced with significant change, often start rumours about what they think is going to happen; the so-called 'reading between the lines'!
Open hostility: hostile behaviour affecting the teams or organisation needs to be addressed quickly and effectively. Such open hostility is bad for morale, motivation and the business as a whole.
Reduced performance: over time a reduction in performance from a team member or whole team is noticed.
The severity of the above issues will vary between organisations, how adaptive the people are to change and how much change is going on at any one time.
People have their own preference for receiving information and processing it; they typically fall into one of three preferences aligned with our senses:
Visual: around 60 per cent of the population are visually-orientated people and like pictures or images. They like to see drawings, colleagues to draw concepts or images that they can relate to.
Auditory: approximately 20 per cent of the population prefer auditory stimulation and messages, generally preferring their communication to be through the spoken and written word.
Kinaesthetic: the remaining 20 per cent of the population prefer the thinking / feeling approach to understanding communication and processing information. They are the hands-on people of an organisation and would very much prefer a walkthrough of a concept as opposed to pictures and words.
When thinking about preferences of the audience, it is essential to mix the language of presentations and briefings so that everyone feels that they have been included in the process. The delivery of presentations should therefore include words and images, which can also induce a feeling of connectedness for the kinaesthetic in the audience.
Drawings being done at the time
Bullet after BulletContinuous words
|Will be looking at the screen or image being drawn
|Words / Language
|Images / Drawings
|Will be looking from screen to speaker
|Images / Words associated to feelings
|Just images or words
|Will be looking from screen to speaker then neutral
This table is a generalist view of the preferences; remember there will be a blend of preference as it is highly unusual to be 100 per cent one type.
Communication needs to be clear and to the point, styled in a way that suits everyone; however you do need to ensure that you can pass the same message to all levels with subtly different techniques. It is essential that you work out who the communication is for and what they expect from it.
The key aspect of this development of a communication that encompasses all is not to lose the thread of the overall message and to make sure it remains the same.
A good communication strategy has to contain:
Once you have decided what your approach will be, then you can produce the material that will back the strategy. This may contain PowerPoint presentations, verbal briefings, written messages such as letters or emails and poster-type material. By making the delivery of the strategy as diverse as possible the maximum number of people can be engaged.
Delivery of communication must be congruent; body language, tone and pitch and the words all need to be in alignment. Research that states 55 per cent is body language, 38 per cent is the tone and pitch of delivery and seven per cent are the actual words.
The audience will believe incongruent communication less. This may lead to reading between the lines and an attitude of resistance. Imagine, a presenter who is delivering some important communication about change, but their posture is poor; tone and pitch are very monotone even when they are making a positive statement.
That scenario does not deliver a congruent message to the audience. Conversely imagine a presenter who has great posture, is animated, the tone and pitch are variable as they deliver a positive message; basically, the greater the congruency the less the chance of misunderstanding.
All individuals will undergo an emotional response when confronted with change and often how this change is communicated effects how it is accepted or rejected. The emotional responses felt by individuals are real and require some managing, particularly if the change will affect their role. Addressing concerns ahead of a more formal corporate communication will help to reduce the impact.
The 3E's model asserts that individuals will have an expectation about what they are being told and they will have an experience (good or bad) that will result in an emotional response. If the expectation is met through experience, then the emotion will be positive and the expectations will be reinforced; if the expectation is not met as a result of experience then the emotion will be negative and expectations will be 'dashed'.
The key assertion is that the communicators have the power to meet or deny expectation (assuming they know the expectations) through the delivered experience.
Reducing resistance to change to an absolute minimum will reduce management overheads allowing more time to drive the changes. It is essential that the message is further reinforced, through objectives and task assignment.
This article has discussed some of the fundamental issues that surround communication of strategy in organisations. These can be summarised as:

A Wild Week Begins
So, with Cyprus "fixed", investors everywhere are selling their gold. That's what the MSM and CNBS will tell you. Of course, nothing could be further from the truth.
You likely noticed that gold fell considerably more than silver this morning. That's unusual, huh? It paints a rather clear picture, though.
- The playbook for this sort of thing can be traced back to the wee hours of September 6, 2011. (Rather than spell all of that out again, I'll leave that to you, my dear reader, to explain what I mean.)
- Option expiration for the April13 contract is today and the steep drop also allowed The Cartel the opportunity to fiddle around with anyone foolish enough to be short some $1600 puts.
- Silver has recently seen extremely strong support on every dip to $28.60, as you'll see on the chart below.
And this is just the beginning. This week is also a holiday-shortened venture, it's the end of the first quarter and First Notice Day for the April13 is Thursday. All in all, if you were made uncomfortable by this morning's action, I strongly suggest that you turn off your computer and take the rest of the week off.
For those willing to stick around, here's what we'll be looking at. Let's start with the hourly charts. First, here's gold, which is clearly rolling over and, having failed to hold $1600, looks likely to fall back toward $1570-1580 sometime this week.
And look at this hourly silver chart. Not only has silver been stuck between $28.40 and $29.40 since February 20 (A streak of nearly five weeks which you won't be able to find anywhere else on the charts unless you go back to at least 2010), for the past two weeks it has essentially been stuck in a 40¢ range. Unprecedented, unbelievable and incredible. A virtual flatline. But...like the proverbial duck analogy...what appears calm on the surface belies great turbulence underneath. On this chart, you can see considerable capping effort being expended at $29. However, you can also see significant bursts of buying every time silver drops to/near/below $28.60. Eventually, one side will win, but, which side will it be???
The longer-term, daily charts continue to show that, for all the short-term hoopla, nothing has really changed. Yes, the metals have been in protracted and forced declines since October BUT all they have done is simply move from the top to the bottom of their current (now 18-month!) ranges. The next "event" we'll be watching will be the interaction of price with the downtrend lines within the ranges. Even that appears to be several weeks away, however. The only truly interesting thing on the gold chart is the incredible similarity between the current time and mid-Dec/mid-Jan, circled in red. Move along, now. Nothing to see here. I'm sure it's just a coincidence.
Just a couple of other things. First, our pal Paul Coghlan is hosting another FREE webinar at Noon EDT today. I highly recommend that you attend. You can register here: http://www.coghlancapital.com/node/5499
The Sprott folks just put out an interesting piece on silver, which I found at ZH: http://www.zerohedge.com/contributed/2013-03-25/silvers-investment-demand-conundrum
Alasdair Macleod has this terrific write-up on money supply and velocity: http://www.goldmoney.com/gold-research/alasdair-macleod/money-supply-accelerating.html
Brent at Santiago Capital has a great new presentation. Just click the link and enter your first name: http://play.goldmail.com/ehlflm5vu00p

A Word Out Of Place Sends Europe Tumbling
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/25/2013 - 11:07
Perhaps the best example of a "word out of place" comes from the new Eurogroup head, Dijsselbloem, also phonetically known as Diesel-BOOM, who just may have ushered in the next, next wave of the Eurozone crisis:
"Cyprus a Template For EU"
We will ignore the rather hilarious Freudian slip, and focus on what he was explicitly talking about with Reuters, what Cyprus allowed was the effective usurpation of democracy - the only reason the Cypriot bailout "passed" (at least so far) is because it was structured as a bank restructuring, a financial system "resolution", not a tax, and thus not in need of a parliamentary, democratic vote. Because as Cyprus also showed, votes to deprive depositors of cash, whether insured or uninsured, simply won't fly. Hence the shift.
Huge Gold Mine Discovered On Cyprus !!
"Mining experts today discovered a huge gold mine on the island of Cyprus. History buffs expressed shock and amazement but were pleased that the discovery presented every Cypriot with the opportunity to strike-it-rich. Not surprisingly, the price of gold fell $12.60 with the announcement. Experts predicted a further debasement of the ancient and barbaric relic, as any discovery of gold, however small, signals an end of gold's usefulness in the modern world."
"In other surprising news, the University of Cyprus Strikers advanced again in their bracket, for the Sweet 16, and will play the winner of the Florida vs Florida Gulf Coast game."
Excellent insight today, Mr. Ferguson, re Gold & Silver.
It's their fiat and it's our gold and silver.
kitco's feed is dead and flatlining.
it shows 28.72 for silver, when it already went to 28.9
edit: they found their data feed again ;-)

Cyprus a Template For EU
THis is most likely what took gold back over 1600
Reposted from the last thread.
I have come to the conclusion that not only can Cyprus happen in the US, but it is, in fact, baked into the cake. I offer up the following for your consideration:
The first is an article from March 21st discussing Russia issuing an alert to citizens and corporations to begin divesting funds from western banks including the US. The second is a ZH article from 2011 about a BCG memo referenced in the first article. The third link is a speech from Ben Bernanke in November of 2002 where he discusses some options for the Fed including:
1. Lower interest rates to zero.
2. Buy securities from the banks to expand the Feds balance sheets
3. Increase the money supply.
4. Buy our countries debt.(and foreign debt too!)
5. Devalue the dollar.
my calendar shows March 25th.
A snippet from great article by AGXIIK . . .
"To my ears Austerity is code for "DIE" and be quick about it. We, the banksters of the world are on a mission. World wide domination. We will do it by any means at our disposal and humanity is disposable.
This is the Big Tell. We saw it with all its radiant stench and wretchedness, laid on the people of Cyprus. It does not matter the whys and hows, the reasons the people of Cyprus find themselves in this jam. It's the way they are being treated and the end results of the destruction planned for them and their country.
This Big Tell is also a clarion call and if you've tolerated my long essay, then you'll see that clarion call is pretty simple.
Take your stack, push away from the table, cash in the chips, tuck them away, bid adieu to the players, wish them good luck as they will need it and exit as fast as your feet can carry you out of the casino and down the road. It does not matter if you are ahead of the game, breaking even, or losing a bit, the big stacker players are coming for us, every one of us and the best thing we can do is get out.
They made the most serious mistake a player can make. They told us how they play the game. It's a 'no win' if you stay. The only way to win is leave. I've been there, done that and lived to tell the story. And I am an amateur to that game."
Gold and silver sales are up 400% in the UK...
... over the last 2 weeks because of what is going on in Cyprus.
Also, buyers are very worried about what's going on there.
This is from a credible source - right in the thick of it, so to speak.
From the last thread --
The fact is that the USD is up 1.0-1.2% against some EU currencies and the Euro itself, in just 6 hours, while gold is not down so much; silver being flat for now. These are huge moves in currencies and the EU bonds and stocks of financial institutions are really hammered.
ECB raid on Cyprus banks and look who got whammied
The Bible states the UN, (governments) will go after Religion.. Babylon the Great and devastate Her.
the 10 horns represent the governments.. the wild beast is the UN, Note that at the right time, God will motivate the governments to devastate the world empire of false religion.. this will occur during the Great Tribulation
Rev 17:15 "The waters that you saw, where the harlot is sitting, mean peoples and crowds* and nations and tongues.+ 16 And the ten horns+ that you saw, and the wild beast,+ these will hate the harlot+ and will make her devastated and naked, and will eat up her fleshy parts and will completely burn her with fire.+ 17 For God put [it] into their hearts to carry out his thought,+ even to carry out [their] one thought by giving* their kingdom to the wild beast,+ until the words of God will have been accomplished.+ 18 And the woman+ whom you saw means* the great city that has a kingdom over the kings of the earth."+
The women, which has a kingdom over the kings of the earth is Religion.. But they will burn her with fire.. a symbol for complete destruction.
REV 18: 1 After these things I saw another angel descending from heaven, with great authority;+ and the earth was lighted up from his glory.+ 2 And he cried out with a strong voice,+ saying: "She has fallen! Babylon* the Great has fallen,+ and she has become a dwelling place of demons and a lurking place of every unclean exhalation*+ and a lurking place of every unclean and hated bird!+ 3 For because of the wine of the anger of her fornication* all the nations have fallen [victim],+ and the kings of the earth committed fornication+ with her, and the traveling merchants+ of the earth became rich due to the power of her shameless luxury."+
4 And I heard another voice out of heaven say: "Get out of her, my people,+ if YOU do not want to share with her in her sins,+ and if YOU do not want to receive part of her plagues. 5 For her sins have massed together clear up to heaven,+ and God has called her acts of injustice to mind.+ 6 Render to her even as she herself rendered,+ and do to her twice as much, yes, twice the number of the things she did;+ in the cup+ in which she put a mixture put twice+ as much of the mixture for her.+ 7 To the extent that she glorified herself and lived in shameless luxury, to that extent give her torment and mourning.+ For in her heart she keeps saying, 'I sit a queen,+ and I am no widow,+ and I shall never see mourning.'+ 8 That is why in one day her plagues+ will come, death and mourning and famine, and she will be completely burned with fire,+ because Jehovah* God, who judged her, is strong.+
9 "And the kings+ of the earth who committed fornication with her and lived in shameless luxury will weep and beat themselves in grief over her,+ when they look at the smoke+ from the burning of her, 10 while they stand at a distance because of their fear of her torment and say,+ 'Too bad, too bad, you great city,+ Babylon you strong city, because in one hour your judgment has arrived!'+
11 "Also, the traveling merchants+ of the earth are weeping and mourning over her,+ because there is no one to buy their full stock anymore, 12 a full stock+ of gold and silver and precious stone and pearls and fine linen and purple and silk and scarlet; and everything in scented wood* and every sort of ivory object and every sort of object out of most precious wood and of copper and of iron and of marble;+ 13 also cinnamon and Indian spice* and incense and perfumed oil and frankincense and wine and olive oil and fine flour and wheat and cattle and sheep, and horses and coaches and slaves* and human souls.*+ 14 Yes, the fine fruit that your soul desired*+ has departed from you, and all the dainty things and the gorgeous things have perished from you, and never again will people find them.+
15 "The traveling merchants+ of these things, who became rich from her, will stand at a distance because of [their] fear of her torment and will weep and mourn,+ 16 saying, 'Too bad, too bad—the great city,+ clothed with fine linen and purple and scarlet, and richly adorned with gold ornament and precious stone and pearl,+ 17 because in one hour such great riches have been devastated!'+
@ Dr. Jerome
remember fdic has 25 billion to cover 9.2 trillion in deposits
also, we used to be able to open accounts around town and be insured. new rules are tied to total related to one social security account number-
they are planing ahead to stick it to depositors
I assume checking account depositors are included--think about business checking accounts and the float of checks outstanding-you could have a situation where more gets taken than there is there..a company could have a sweep account--which would be swept into overnight treasuries which the government would like.
lots of moving pieces but if Italy and Spain are next for having trouble the US will get a huge whiff of that.
Another important snippet . . .
"As of 1 April 2013, ABN AMRO will switch over to another custodian for precious metals gold, silver, platinum and palladium.
Therefor we will handle and administer your investments in precious metals differently. In this letter you can read more about this.
What will change?
With the transition to the new custodian, the following will change for you as of 1 April 2013:
• You can no longer request physical delivery of your precious metals from us"

I've been back in school now for almost a month and I continue to turn to technology to make my own work easier and to find ways of sharing with my 100+ colleagues. So far this year, I've used Wordpress to build a site dedicated to the Northern Lights Jr. Games that my school was chosen to host in March 2010. I've been contributing interesting items to a school Ning site that I help administer, I've been posting items including my schedule to a wiki site I built last year, and I've been sending weekly memos by e-mail to the staff. I even had a Technology Thursday session with staff to visit the idea of classroom blogs like Mrs. Cassidy's Classroom Blog.
And I've seen some progress, baby steps I guess. I have a teacher who has embraced technology and is busy incorporating our Smart Board into his teaching; this is taking off as other teachers now want a board in their room. I also have staff who have started blogs and are beginning to share; for example, there is a new teacher blogging about her experiences and an intern invited me into her digital world a couple of nights ago. Nevertheless, I am feeling somewhat disappointed; it seems like some are choosing to ignore the powerful medium that the internet offers preferring to do things the way they've always done them. Is the technology really that scary?
How many of us reluctantly gave in to the cell phone craze and now cannot live without them? What is so different about picking up a new computer application and embracing it as a new way of doing business.
Today, a teacher shared with me that people see communication as a problem within the school and feel that we need to stick to one way of sharing information. I am not so sure. I believe we need to put the information that needs to be shared in multiple places in hopes that one actually works for each individual. I know I've tried the paper memo thing in the past and failed to communicate a message, I've called meetings and failed to get everyone I needed in place, I've published newsletters that not everyone read, and I've even tried the old intercom thing but was not listened to. All methods have a place, and all in way, rely on technology in one way or another (some newer than others). I really see today's technology as offering many novel solutions; we can now seek information when we want it not just when someone is presenting it. However, we are at the mercy of the individual receivers of information and their interest in learning something new. Unfortunately, some teachers are resisting learning something new; some are modelling what frustrates them about their students (they are reluctant learners). Ironic!!!
There is hope though; the cell phone thing was not embraced enthusiastically at first by all, but when people saw a use for them, they became widely accepted. I even know retiring teachers who have learned to text; if a teacher on the way out of the business can learn new techological skills then surely there is hope for the teacher who thinks he/she does not have time to learn "another" thing! I look forward to the day when we do not have to work to peruade staff about the powerful network tools that exist; I look forward to the day when people accept that technology provides us with tools that make doing business easier!

Many, many things today. I'm rocking out to Electric Mayhem at the moment. The kids are getting their first full taste of The Muppet Movie. Muppets rock! If you disagree, please keep it to yourself as I don't want to have to stop liking you. I may have to kick my Husband out of the house over his dislike of all things Jim Henson.
Secondly, the reason we now have not only The Muppet Movie but also The Great Muppet Caper is because Daddy came to visit yesterday bearing gifts. I now have a copy of the Maker's Diet (we're considering going GFCF with BabyGirl), 5 bottles of Bath & Body Works hand soaps in Kitchen Lemon & Japanese Cherry Blossom along with Cherry Blossom body wash, lotion, and body spray, muscle shirts for the boys that say, "Have Pickup will Travel. Honk if you love trucks," new swimsuits for the girls, foam Christmas ornament kits, and enough batteries to power every toy the kids own for about 6 months. Grammy sent the batteries for Easter. You'd have thought she sent gold bullion the way the kids reacted. Now I can't say, "Sorry guys, no batteries. You'll just have to put the (fill in with noisy toy of your choice here) in the cabinet."
Daddy called me Thursday & asked if we wanted company. Since Art & QM are getting ready to head to Florida, he decided to come up to visit with us & spend Easter with G'ma & G'pa M&M. He got here yesterday afternoon...and Bitsy laid it on thick. Someone must have tipped her off as to how easy it would be for her to wrap her Pa around her little finger. He came in the house & she went right to him. Then she started passing out kisses. She'd kiss him, then reach for me. I'd take her back & she'd immediately lunge for him again & give him more kisses. Then she'd smile at him & bat her eyes. Shameless, that girl!
Daddy took BabyGirl with him into the men's shop in town to get a new suit. He's lost more than 30 pounds over the past year or so, so he was in desperate need of it. We've been going there for suits & dress clothes since I moved up here. Daddy buys most of his suits when he comes up here to visit, Uncle Gick & Bucka frequent there as well. The people that work there are fabulous. Every time I go in they ask about the entire family. They're so kind & really take the time to know their customers. We love them. Especially Mr.Jack.
When they got home, Daddy had a new sports coat & slacks, a belt, tie & shirt. BabyGirl had helped him pick it all out. She even told him when a shirt he had didn't coordinate well with the new coat.
Last night I asked her if she liked Mr.Jack. "Yes, Mom. He's really nice. He said I have a good color eye!" It took me a minute..."Oh, you mean you have good eye for color?" "Yeah, that's what he said. I have a good eye for color. He said I can come work there someday if I want. I think I'll do it. It's fun, Mom. I can tell people if the clothes look good on them. And if they don't I'll just say, 'No, go take that off now!'" Move over Stacey London. Here comes BabyGirl FarmHand. She'll steal Clinton Kelly away from you & never look back.
Then she & Pa picked up pizza for us all. That's Pa's job...to get pizza from Casey's when he comes to visit.
Husband and I watched Dan in Real Life last night. Sweet little movie. I love Steve Carell. He's so awkward and endearing and hysterical. BabyGirl was watching it with us during her attempt to avoid bed time. As Dane Cook & Steve Carell sang Let My Love Open the Door, I couldn't help but sing quietly along. After the first chorus I heard this tiny voice near my shoulder singing, "Let my love.....let my love.....let my love." I love that girl.
Husband and I were laying in bed with BabyGirl last night trying to get her to sleep...to no avail. Husband is worse than the kids. He was joking & playing with her & carrying on. I had to threaten him with bodily harm to get them to settle down. I had been trying to get BabyGirl to sing I am the Walrus with me earlier in the night & she wouldn't do it. "Oh, Mom (said in that exasperated way only teenagers should be able to say it). Not that song." As we were laying in bed I whispered, "I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus," and I heard her whisper into her pillow, "Goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob. Goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob g'goo."
That's my girl.
Today Husband is putting the back mud flaps (now called splash guards) on his precious truck. Yesterday it was the front splash guards & reese hitch. No, still haven't ridden in it or driven it (see post below & get in on the pot).
I have to dig out BabyGirl's first Easter dress to see if it fits Bitsy, get the big kids Easter clothes out, cleaned, and ironed, iron my dress & find a bra that will work with it, wash the plastic eggs & stuff them with candy, and dig out all of Bitsy's tiny baby clothes for a new baby at church. Nothing like waiting until the last minute to get ready for the holiday. But then my motto is Never hesitate to procrastinate.
And my poor kids aren't getting Easter baskets full of junk this year. I decided instead to get each of them a t-shirt. They really didn't need anything else. BabyGirl picked hers out yesterday. It's dark pink with rhinestones...fabulous! #1 Son's is green with tools on it & it says, "Daddy's Big Helper (will work for cookies)." B.B.'s is orange & says, "My parents are exhausted." Bitsy gets nothing. Poor baby...not that she'll notice.

Excerpt from Hillsdale College Release
Mike Gatt, M.D., was the quarterback behind Hillsdale's 1985 NAIA national championship team and at the time of his graduation, holder of most passing records in school history. His 2,664 passing yards, 201 completions and 355 pass attempts were all single-season records that stood for 22 years.
He was a three-year starter for the Chargers and was named Academic All-American in 1984 and 1985. He was also the senior class president and was honored as the Senior Man of the Year.
Gatt was named NAIA All-American following that 1985 season, when he threw 25 touchdown passes. After graduating, Gatt earned his M.D. from Michigan State University in 1990 and served his residency at Providence Hospital in Southfield, Michigan. He is currently the chairman of the OB/GYN department at St. Mary Hospital in Livonia. He and his wife Maureen, also a Hillsdale College graduate, have four children: Meredith, Nickolas, Mitchell and Carson.
Jim Eckhardt has been a fixture at Hillsdale College sporting events for more than 20 years, and has handled color commentary for close to 1,000 football and basketball games in his career through his work with WCSR 92.1-FM in Hillsdale. A lively and energetic personality, Eckhardt lends a wonderfully lighthearted, but informed touch to all of his broadcasts.
He called his first Charger football game in 1975, and has approached every game since then with the same passion and love that have made him synonymous with Charger athletics. A former registered game official and father of a Hillsdale College alumn, Jim has also been a valued contributor and consultant to the Hillsdale College athletic department through the years. He has served on several coaching search committees and has been an important part of the Charger Club, actively involved in fundraising efforts for the department.

Billy still hasn't taken me up on the offer, but I think it would be good for him to do so; even if he only included it in his "unlisted" broadcasts with his other Hovind material.

Billy, are you listening????
