text: \nThere was once a time when lying in a political speech--and getting called out on it by the media--was shameful or embarrassing. Not anymore.Now, says Jeff Greenfield, the veteran political analyst and Yahoo News columnist, the media is held in such low regard by Americans that getting called out for lying merely serves to confirm a widespread belief that the "liberal media" has an axe to grind against conservative politicians. As a result, the whoppers that dominated Republican VP candidate Paul Ryan's convention speech last night will likely not hurt the candidate's standing with Republican voters, says Greenfield. Rather, they'll reinforce the right-wing view that the media is "in the tank" for President Obama. For those who do care about the truth, though, it's worth noting that even FOX News described Ryan's speech as "deceiving." (The FOX columnist, Sally Kohn, also called the speech "dazzling" and "distracting." And Ryan did have some wonderful lines, especially one about how the job market is so bad that today's college graduates have nothing to do but go home to their parents houses and lie on their beds staring at "fading posters" of Obama.) The descriptions of the speech from other observers, meanwhile, ranged from "factually shaky" to "fibs" to "lies." What facts in particular were observers up in arms about?Well, for starters, there were once again the claims that Obamacare cuts $716 billion of benefits from Medicare and that Paul Ryan wants to preserve Medicare. The truth is that Obamacare reduces\u00a0payments to hospitals and doctors by $716 billion, not benefits.* Also, far from preserving Medicare, after a 10-year grace period, Romney and Ryan want to radically change it. Then Ryan blamed S&P's downgrade of US debt on Obama, when S&P explained explicitly that its downgrade was the result of Congressional Republicans--Ryan included--threatening to cause the country to default. Then Ryan accused Obama of lying to voters in his home state by promising to keep a GM plant open for "hundreds of years" after he was elected, only to have it closed in the first year. The truth is that GM announced that it was closing the plant before Obama took office. And so on.Jeff Greenfield says that none of this will matter to voters, who will just blame the media and its silly "fact-checkers."\u00a0 And he's presumably right.But it's worth noting that Ryan's distortions came only one day after New Jersey Governor Chris Christie promised the country that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan were leaders who were bold and brave enough to give America the "hard truths" that it so desperately needs to hear (and we do desperately need to hear them). There were certainly some truths in Ryan's speech--unemployment, for example, is much higher at this point in the recovery than President Obama said it would be--but there were also some lies.\n\n* This is America, so of course there are many smart folks on both sides. I've heard from some smart Ryan defenders who argue strenuously that he did not lie about Medicare or anything else. In the case of Medicare, they say the $716B will reduce benefits because hospitals will opt out of Medicare. That's possible. The reason I called the statement a lie is that I think the point of both the speech and the ad is to convey the message that Obamacare actually cuts $716B of benefits, which it doesn't. But there are probably ways in which every word of Ryan's speech could be interpreted as factually correct.

More snow is on the way.
After getting a small amount of snow on Thursday and more on Friday, Butler County is expected to get additional snow this weekend.
About 2 to 4 inches is expected, according to the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh on Saturday morning.
The snow is expected to begin after 8 p.m. Sunday, and continue through Monday afternoon.
The weather service said it is possible that some of those 2 to 4 inches could take the form of rain. Wind gusts of up to 25 mph could occur.
Sunlight and temperatures in the mid to upper 30s are expected to help keep roads mostly clear.
Counties south of Pittsburgh could get more snow, 4 to 6 inches and up to 10 inches are expected in the mountains east of Pittsburgh.

A Google search of the phrase "Wall-E made me cry" returns more than 13 thousand results, a figure which can surely be multiplied several times over to include all the people who did cry at the little robot's adventures, but consider themselves too "tough" to admit it.
Well, grab your handkerchiefs and start practicing your best "there's something in my eye" line, as we're about to introduce you to Mike Senna's amazing recreation of the titular 'bot.
It all began back in 2010, when Senna was looking for a new challenge after finishing his own working replica of R2-D2. After observing how children reacted to meeting R2 when he visited the City of Hope hospital in California, the equally lovable, but even more emotionally engaging, Wall-E seemed like the perfect choice for his next project.
But this is no off-the-shelf build, as there are no kits, no pre-built parts and no instructions available; meaning it would have to be built entirely from scratch and by using the film as the blueprint.
As a keen roboticist, Senna's Wall-E isn't simply a static model, and it can move around, wave to people, turn its head to look at you and even say its name. The attention to detail is astonishing, as all those movements look almost identical to its animated counterpart.
This level of care continues when you take a closer look at Wall-E's body, as each panel has been painted and weathered to match what we saw on screen too.
An obvious perfectionist, Senna almost gave up after 18 months, as the workload was so huge, but he pushed forward and after approximately 3,800 hours of work, Wall-E has been finished.
The final result makes it all worthwhile though, and Senna's return to the City of Hope hospital with Wall-E can be seen, along with a demonstration of the robot's abilities, in Yahoo's video report below. The other video was taken just as the build was being completed, and shows how Wall-E is controlled.
Here's hoping Eve is next on Senna's list.

Power Specifications - Full Range Channels
The RMS power rating is the measure of continuous power that an amplifier can output, or a speaker can handle. It is the most accurate depiction of real, continuous power that the industry has so far.
If the final impedance of your speakers or subwoofers equals 4 ohms, this is how much power this amplifier will supply at that ohm level. The higher the RMS wattage, the more clean and loud your music will sound.
The RMS power rating is the measure of continuous power that an amplifier can output, or a speaker can handle. It is the most accurate depiction of real, continuous power that the industry has so far.
If the final impedance of your speakers or subwoofers equals 2 ohms, this is how much power this amplifier will supply at that ohm level. The higher the RMS wattage, the more clean and loud your music will sound.
Bridging refers to combining two channels on an amplifier to create one channel with double the voltage and an increased power output. A 2-channel amplifier will bridge down to 1-channel and a 4-channel amplifier can bridge to create 2-channels. An amplifier is most commonly bridged to drive a subwoofer.
Remember, once you bridge two channels down to one its final impedance will be 4 ohms unless otherwise specified. This rating lists the RMS power created once an amplifier is bridged.
Amplifier Specifications
An amplifier increases the power of the signal being fed to it by taking energy from its power supply and matching the signal but increasing its amplitude. Amplifiers use many different methods for converting these electrical signals and have been categorized into classes.
Class A/B: Greater than 50% of the input signal is amplified while the other percentage is "off". These amplifiers have a small amount of current flowing through the output transistors all the time which almost eliminates crossover distortion. Class A/B has great sound quality but is not as efficient as class D. These amps are most commonly used to drive speakers.
Class D: Also known as switching amplifiers, class D amps have output transistors that are completely turned "on" or "off". This means that when the transistors are on, there is almost no voltage across them but when they are off there is significant voltage but no current flowing through it which makes these amplifiers very efficient at the cost of sound quality. These amps are most commonly used to drive subwoofers.Other Classes: You may see classes such as GH, bD, X, FD, etc. by some manufactures. These amplifiers tend to be either class A/B, D or a hybrid of the two but with improvements to their designs that can make them more efficient or offer better sound quality.
It is measured during a brief musical burst, such as a sudden drum accent. Some manufacturers display peak power ratings on the face of their products to increase the appeal.
The RMS power rating is more accurate, and we recommend using it for product comparison.
A crossover is a type of filtering system that permits only certain frequencies to play. A Low-Pass (LP) crossover allows only frequencies below its setting to get through which is good in the case of some subwoofers. A High-Pass(HP) filter allows frequencies above its setting to pass through, this is normally used on speakers.
When a crossover is set to FULL it means no filtering is added and the full frequency spectrum is allowed through the amplifier. Filtering is important because feeding a speaker frequencies it cannot reproduce effectively creates distortion.
High-Pass (HP)
Full (AP)
The steepness of the roll-off slope is measured in dB/octave and refers to the rate of attenuation (lowering of volume) outside their pass bands.

From: Yucaipa, CAWebsite - Tiki Central Profile
They brought back memories of the Chinese restaurants my parents would take us to in the 1970's and of our summer vacations in San Diego when they would take us to the Bali Hai in the early 1980's.
I started reading Tiki News in 2000 and found some wonderful resources there. Many of my mugs were purchased from Tiki Objects by Bosko, Joe's Aloha Collectables and at Oasis II & III.
I love Tiki Farm. There is something so appealing to me about their style.
Disaster hit the collection on 10/9/05. A car thief drove through my house destroying many of my mugs. It's been four years now, and I've been able to replace all but 8 of my damaged and destroyed mugs. I'd like to thank all of the kind people who helped me put my collection back together.

DENVER - Democrats will see the first test of their gun-control bills today and later this week.
The House Judiciary Committee will hear bills this morning to prohibit the sale of ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 bullets and to require background checks for gun sales between private parties.
Rep. Mike McLachlan, a freshman Democrat from Durango, will be in the spotlight as a potential swing vote on the bills.
"I think it's still very much in flux," McLachlan said. "I think we're pretty much still a House divided and a House in debate."
McLachlan had previously said he might support the background check bill, but he said Monday morning that he is leaning against the limit on ammunition magazines of more than 10 rounds.
But he said he's open to rewriting the bill.
"Maybe some reasonable limit can be reached," McLachlan said, specifying a number less than 30 as a good limit for magazine sizes.
Republicans oppose the bills. Democrats have a 7-4 majority on the Judiciary committee, so sponsors can lose one vote and still have their bills advance.
But today's action is only part of the lineup this week.
On Wednesday morning, the House Education Committee will hear a bill to ban concealed weapons on most areas of college campuses.
Later Wednesday, the House Finance Committee will decide whether people who buy guns should pay for their own background checks. A surge in gun purchases has led to a long backlog in the state's background check system.
The most controversial gun bill has not yet been introduced. Senate President John Morse, D-Colorado Springs, wants to impose legal liability on anyone associated with making, shipping, selling or buying an assault weapon if the gun is ever used to hurt people.

Chris Jessen, director of vocal music at Newburg Schools, was named the staff of the month for November/December.
The CTA (Community Teachers Association) at the Newburg R-II School District is recognizing a faculty/staff member every month who goes out of his or her way to make a difference. The CTA finalizes the choice each month and the superintendent and school board then must approve the faculty/staff member.
November/December winner: Chris Jessen, 40, director of vocal music
How did you feel about receiving the honor? "Humbled. I am surrounded by colleagues who demonstrate not only a passion for their subject but an understanding of the importance of love in education, and the development of human relationships."
How long have you worked at Newburg Schools? This is his second year in the district.
Education: "My musical education took place at Quincy College, a small liberal arts college in Quincy, Ill. I studied voice under Father Dennis Schafer, OFM, and piano under world-renowned Austrian concert pianist, Leonora Suppan-Gehrich. Additionally, I hold graduate degrees in education from William Woods University and Columbia State University."
What inspired you to go into your position? "I believe that we are chosen for our vocation, rather than choosing it for ourselves. The greatest inspiration comes from within. To make music is to experience, in a very real sense, the spark of divinity that dwells within each of us. We approach most closely that divinity when we engage in the act of creation and can look at what we have created and say, 'it is good.' "
What is your favorite part of your job? "I think the most rewarding part of teaching in Newburg has been being able to be a member of a community of students and faculty who share a passionate commitment to the humanities. Watching the potential of each student for self-development and self-transformation through immersion in literature, the sciences and the arts blossom into independent thinking and artistic expression are the rewards for our efforts here. Over the door to the historic Newburg High School auditorium is the inscription, 'He hath no power who hath not power to use.' What could be more rewarding than to share in the power of the arts and humanities to ignite wonder and imagination."
What is something about your job people may not know? "Tradition and 'the sense of place' are so important to any arts program. Members of our varsity choir are well aware that they are representing not only themselves, but each chorister who has come before them or will go after them. Nowhere does this tradition become as tangible as at our annual Festival of Carols which we begin each year with a candlelight procession. The students and I become keenly aware of our transient mark upon the program, taking part in a never-ending procession of singers and teachers who share in this unique experience, our own journey from darkness to light and for the students, the journey from childhood to adulthood. This is the real privilege of teaching, being allowed to take part in something that is much larger than the individual."
What are some of your hobbies and interests outside of your job? "Of all my interests, I think I am most honored to have been appointed a serving brother to The Most Venerable Order of St. John by Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, this past August. The order is very active in charitable work in the Holy Land and supports an eye hospital and relief efforts in Jerusalem. Additionally, I am a student of local and area history and enjoy spending free time traveling 'the back roads' of the Ozarks, taking photographs and learning about the history and culture of this very special part of Missouri."

What are child protective services?
Child Protective Services (CP S) is a child welfare (CW) service that
focuses on protecting children from harm. The Oklahoma Department
of Human Services (OKDHS) is responsible for providing child
protective services. The goal of providing these services is to help
families through difficulties that may cause their children to be unsafe.
OKDHS child welfare specialists (CWS) are required by law to respond
to reports of child abuse and neglect. When a report of abuse or neglect
is received the CWS contacts the family to determine whether abuse or
neglect occurred and if the children in the family are safe.
How does OKDHS Child Welfare get my name?
Oklahoma law requires every person to report suspected child abuse
or neglect to OKDHS when the reporting party believes a child has
been abused or neglected by someone responsible for the child's care.
The name of the person who reports child abuse or neglect is confidential
by law and that is why you cannot be told who made the report.
Reports of child abuse or neglect may be made anonymously. Even if
not reporting child abuse or neglect, anyone can call 0 KD HS Child
Welfare to ask for help.
What happens after Child Welfare receives a
report of suspected child abuse or neglect?
Under Oklahoma law, OKDHS Child Welfare must determine how to
respond to a report of suspected child abuse or neglect. A child welfare
specialist is assigned when it is necessary conduct an assessment or
investigation of the reported allegations. The CWS initiates contact with
each child named in the report and talks to members of the household,
family, and others as necessary to complete the assessment or investigation.
What is the difference between an assessment and
an investigation?
An assessment is conducted when the referral concerns abuse or neglect
that is not a serious and immediate safety threat. The assessment process
includes separate and joint discussions with all family members and may
include information gained from other sources to determine what
actions or interventions may be needed to help you keep your child safe.
The assessment process gives family members a chance to provide
information about what they believe will help the family. Other people
are contacted as necessary for additional information to assist the CWS
in the safety decision about your child. When your family needs services,
you will be provided information about where you can obtain services
in your area and any services that OKDHS can provide.
An investigation is conducted when the referral concerns suspected
child abuse or neglect that is serious, could be dangerous, or when there
have been previous reports of abuse or neglect. During an investigation,
the child welfare specialist talks separately with you and your child,
when your child is old enough. If your child is non-verbal, the child will
be observed for any injuries. This review is conducted with another
adult present.
During the assessment or investigation, the CWS may need to check
your child for injuries and you may be asked to have your child seen by a
doctor. The CWS also talks with other people who know you and your
child to find out more about your family. This is done as carefully as
possible so that your privacy is protected.
Whether an assessment or investigation is conducted, the main goal of
the CWS is to make sure your child is safe and that you receive any help
you may need to keep your child safe. You can talk with the CWS about
any family problems. Together you may be able to decide what changes
need to be made and set up a plan for making these changes.
Your family is encouraged to accept any needed services. If you do not
want voluntary services you may refuse to accept them. OKDHS may
contact you within sixty days of case closure to determine if younav
accessed services related to child safety.
What happens after the
assessment or the investigation?
All completed assessment and investigation reports are given to the
appropriate district attorney.
There are five possible conclusions or findings the child welfare
specialist can make after the investigation is completed.
Ruled Out - This finding is made when the child welfare specialist
determines that no child abuse or neglect has occurred.
Unsubstantiated-Services recommended - This finding is made
when there is insufficient evidence of child abuse or neglect or
insufficient evidence to determine if there has been child abuse or
neglect but it is determined the family could benefit from prevention
and intervention-related services.
Substantiated-Services recommended - This finding is made when there
is some evidence of child abuse or neglect but it appears the family is
willing to accept recommended services on a voluntary basis without the
need for court intervention.
Substantiated-Court intervention recommended - This finding is
made when there is evidence of serious child abuse or neglect and,
because the child's health, safety, or welfare is threatened, court
intervention is recommended.
Reasonable exercise of Parental Discipline - This finding is made when
OKDHS determines the reported incident was the result of reasonable,
age-appropriate, parental discipline that occurred without injury to
the child. When this finding is made, all records of the referral and
investigation are expunged.
What happens after an assessment or investigation
report is provided to the district attorney?
Oklahoma law requires the child welfare specialist to provide a written
report to the district attorney of each assessment or investigation that
has been completed. OKDHS also refers reports of child abuse and
neglect to law enforcement. The district attorney must decide what
happens next. The district attorney may:
• decide to take no action;
• refer the information to law enforcement for further investigation;
• file a deprived petition and ask the court to become involved because
your child needs protection and your family needs to make changes
that will keep your child safe;
• file criminal charges against the person who may have abused or
neglected your child; or
• file both a deprived petition and file criminal charges.
Oklahoma law requires that OKDHS keep a permanent record of every
report investigated or assessed. This information is confidential and is
only given out in certain situations, that are specifically set forth in the
law. It is a crime to release information unless allowed by law.
How willi know what has been decided after
the assessment or investigation is completed?
You will receive a letter telling you about the findings or recommendations
that were made at the conclusion of the assessment or investigation. A
letter following a completed investigation will contain findings about
whether a child abuse or neglect allegation has been substantiated,
unsubstantiated, or ruled out along with the services recommended, if
any. The letter regarding a completed assessment will contain only
recommendations for services, but no findings.
What if I disagree with the investigation finding?
When an investigation finding is substantiated and there is no court
action, you have the right to appeal the substantiated finding. You will
receive an attachment explaining the appeal process and what to do to
request an appeal along with your finding kt~rs.
What kind of help can I get from Child Welfare?
The child welfare specialist works with you to help decide the kinds of
services that will best meet the needs of your family. Services are available
through 0 KD HS if you request them, or you may be given a referral for
services available in your local community. Services can range from help
with basic items such as food, clothing, or housing to in-home services
such as health care or homemaker assistance.
Can my child be taken away from me?
When your child needs immediate protection, a law enforcement officer
may place your child in protective custody without a court order. Also, a
judge may issue an order placing your child in the emergency custody of
OKDHS at the request of the district attorney. OKDHS focuses on child
safety and reducing trauma. If your child is removed, you will have the
opportunity to provide input about your child's needs.
What happens if my child is placed in
the legal custody of OKDHS?
If your child is placed in OKDHS legal custody, you have the right to a
hearing within the next two judicial days. "Judicial days" are days when
the court is open for business. Unless the court orders differently, the
district attorney has to decide within seven judicial days whether to
file a deprived petition.
When may I see my child?
The child welfare specialist arranges a time for you to see your child as
quickly as possible if the child is placed in the legal custody of 0 KD HS.
You are told whether your child is in a shelter, Bridge resource home, or
with another responsible person, and given information about how your
child is doing. As the parent, you may be asked to meet with the Bridge
family to educate the Bridge family about your child's routine. This
process is designed to assist your child.
What happens when the district attorney decides
court action is needed to protect my child?
The district attorney will prepare a legal document called a "deprived
petition" is filed in the district court where deprived cases are heard.
This type of court proceeding is designed to protect children, not punish
adults. The judge hears evidence and decides if your child is deprived.
A court finding that your child is deprived means there are concerns
about your child's health, safety, or welfare that make it necessary for the
court to make decisions and set conditions to assure safety for your child.
The following types of hearings may be held by a court responsible
for deprived cases:
• Emergency custody hearing: This hearing is held within two judicial
days after your child has been removed from his or her home. The
purpose of the emergency custody hearing, that may also be called a
"show cause" hearing, is for the judge to decide if your child should
be released to you or another responsible person. At the hearing, you
will receive written information about your rights and court procedures.
• Adjudicatory hearing: If the district attorney files a deprived
petition, there is another hearing held called an adjudicatory hearing.
This hearing is held whether your child is returned to you or remains
in OKDHS custody after the emergency custody hearing. This is a
hearing for a judge to decide if your child is deprived as a result of
abuse or neglect. When your child is determined to be deprived, the
court is involved in decision-making and planning for your child
until the court case is closed.
• Dispositional hearing: This is a separate hearing from the adjudicatory
hearing that can be held on the same day as the adjudicatory hearing
or at a later time. At the dispositional hearing, the judge may return
your child to you under the legal supervision of 0 KD HS or keep
your child in the temporary custody of OKDHS or another agency
or person. The court orders a plan that you have to follow before
your child can be returned to you or before the case can be closed.
This plan will help you take care of the problems that caused your
child to be deprived. If you do not follow the court-ordered plan,
you could lose all rights to your child oJ;ch·ldren.
What willi have to do if my child is
adjudicated deprived?
If your child adjudicated deprived, you may be ordered by the court to:
• work with your child welfare specialist to plan what you must
do to work out the problems that caused the court action and to
discuss what is in the best interests of your child. This plan is called an
Individualized Service Plan (ISP);
• stay in touch with your CWS and notify him or her about any changes
such as change of address, job, income, marriage, new person living in
your home, and progress on your ISP;
• follow the orders of the court in the time required by the court;
• contribute to your child's financial support; and
• visit your child regularly at the time and place scheduled.
What are my rights?
You should ask an attorney for legal advice and a full explanation of your
rights. If you cannot afford a lawyer, you may request the court appoint a
lawyer for you.
If you want copies of the law about child abuse and neglect, you may
ask an attorney to provide them, get them at your county law library, or
on the Internet. Most of the law relating to child abuse and neglect can
be found in Title lOA of the Oklahoma Statutes known as the Oklahoma
Children's Code.
If an action is filed you have the right to review the records in the court file,
except those the court has ordered sealed. The court file will not include
the name of the person who made the report of abuse or neglect.
What are my child's rights when a deprived
petition is filed?
When a deprived petition is filed, an attorney is appointed to represent
your child and to act on behalf of your child according to your child's
stated interests.
Native American Heritage
The Federal and Oklahoma Indian Child Welfare Acts provide Native
Americans, who are members of a Federally recognized Indian tribe or
eligible for membership certain protections. It is critical to inform
the Child Welfare Specialist of your tribal heritage, any services you
receive from a Federally recognized Indian Tribe and your child's
eligibility for Tribal enrollment. You must also inform the court of
your enrollment status.
What can I expect to happen to my child?
Placement outside the home, when necessary, is usually temporary.
It is important that your child have a permanent home. The goal is to
find ways for your child to return home quickly and live safely. When
this is not possible, there can be court action that allows the child to
have a permanent home through adoption, guardianship, or other
living arrangement.
The best plan is made for your child when you and your child welfare
specialist work together to develop a meaningful plan that will meet
your child's needs and assist you in correcting the problems that led to
the deprived petition being filed.
The final decision regarding the child's placement in or out of the home
rests with the judge, who hears the evidence before making decisions.
What is termination of parental rights?
Termination of parental rights means the court has decided that you no
longer have legal rights to your child. The court may terminate parental
rights in certain situations, such as when a parent fails to correct the
conditions that led to the child being found deprived, when the parent
fails to appear at scheduled court hearings, or when the court makes
other legal findings based on the seriousness of the abuse or neglect.
Sometimes parents decide it is in their child's best interests to voluntar-ily
give up their parental rights. This, of course, is a serious step and
should be given careful consideration before a decision is made. Parents
should discuss this with their attorney and the child welfare specialist.
What can I do if I feel I have not been treated
fairly by the child welfare specialist?
If you feel that you are not being treated fairly by the child welfare
specialist assigned to your case, or that the CWS is not following
oKD HS policy, an open talk with the CWS may take care of the
situation. When you and the CWS cannot work out the problem, you
may talk with the assigned supervisor. If you are not satisfied with the
supervisor's response, you may talk with the OKDHS county director.
In case you feel the county staff has treated you unfairly, you may
contact the area director's office or the Division of Children and
Family Services.
In certain situations, you may request an administrative fair hearing by
contacting the local 0 KD HS county office. The fair hearing process is
designed to make sure your rights are protected and you receive certain
services from OKDHS.
A grievance procedure is available to resolve issues regarding your child.
You may file a grievance on behalf of your child.
Neither the fair hearing process nor the grievance procedure applies to
rulings by the court. You may obtain information regarding both of these
procedures from your local OKDHS Child Welfare Servo s office.
