Under the law, you're innocent until proven guilty. That's cute for a bumper sticker, but that is not the reality most people face. When you are facing the jurors, they want to know why you are innocent. While the government may technically have the burden of proving its case beyond a reasonable doubt, in reality, the burden is on your lawyer to provide the answers and details that prove your innocence.
I am Oklahoma City criminal defense attorney Mark Bailey. Over my career, which spans more than 10 years, I have tried more than 100 cases to a jury. Now, at M.K. Bailey Law Offices, my team and I have the experience and background to provide people throughout Oklahoma City with the legal counsel they need when facing charges for sex offenses, drug crimes, violent crimes or other criminal offenses.
Most of the individuals who contact our firm have never been in legal trouble before. Like you, they're good people who were caught in bad situations. We know that it can be frightening to ask for the help you need, and when you call us, we'll give you the answers you need in a straightforward way.
We'll explain your options and give you our honest recommendations. And if you have questions at any point in the process, we encourage you to call us. Mark Bailey puts his cellphone number on his business card, so you can get the immediate answers you need — even outside normal business hours.
At M.K. Bailey Law Offices, our job is to create favorable options for you. We didn't go to law school to spend our careers filling out paperwork. Every lawyer at our firm thrives on researching every detail of a case, interviewing witnesses, and presenting strong cases to judges and jurors.
You tell us what your legal goals are, and we will work aggressively to achieve those goals. Learn more about your options by scheduling a free initial consultation through our online contact form or by calling 405-607-1177.

I tried something new a few weeks ago: carpooling to work. It was a new experience for me, especially since my passenger was a complete stranger.
The night before my carpooling escapade, I had been driving around Louisville with friends. It was so relieving that the weather finally felt like summer and we rolled down the windows, opened the sunroof and enjoyed the warm wind against our faces.

Expert: Latest food scare avoided with proper handling and cooking
Seems like every month there is a new food scare that makes the national news. Most recently, it was antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens found in pork. But whether pathogens are drug-resistant or not, consumers should know that these microorganisms can be controlled by proper food handling and destroyed by proper cooking, noted a food-safety expert in Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences.

CALGARY, Alberta — Here is the likely lineup that the Ducks (27-10-6) will start with Friday night against the Calgary Flames at Scotiabank Saddledome. Teemu Selanne will determine in the afternoon if he will play or sit out the game as Coach Bruce Boudreau has implored him to rest before the playoffs begin. If Selanne does play, it is likely that Radek Dvorak will then come out. Cam Fowler (upper body) should be back in but Luca Sbisa (lower body) only skated for the first time in four days so Sami Vatanen will play in his second consecutive game. Nick Bonino (lower body) is getting closer but isn't ready yet. Jonas Hiller (13-5-4, 2.50 GAA, .906 SV%) will get an opportunity to show whether he deserves the Game 1 start in the first round. Viktor Fasth, who made 25 saves Wednesday against Columbus, is dealing with a small injury issue and Igor Bobkov was recalled from Norfolk (Va.) of the American Hockey League in case he cannot back up Hiller.
Bobby Ryan-Ryan Getzlaf-Corey Perry
Andrew Cogliano-Matthew Lombardi-Kyle Palmieri
Daniel Winnik-Saku Koivu-Radek Dvorak
Matt Beleskey-David Steckel-Emerson Etem
Sheldon Souray-Francois Beauchemin
Cam Fowler-Ben Lovejoy
Bryan Allen-Sami Vatanen
— And here is the expected lineup for the Flames (17-22-4), who have finally begin their rebuilding project after dealing away venerable captain Jarome Iginla and minutes-eating defenseman Jay Bouwmeester. If reports of him possibly retiring after the season are true, it could be the final home game for star goalie Miikka Kiprusoff (7-13-2, 3.53 GAA, .877 SV%). Dennis Wideman won't play due to a finger injury. Ben Hanowski, whom Calgary got as part of the Iginla deal, will sit. Alex Tanguay is out for the remainder of the season due to a sprained MCL in his knee.

CBD Pet Treats In Portage
Be sure to have a pocket full of dog treats when teaching your dog how to sit, stay, heel, or perform other similar commands. Make sure that the dog will find the CBD Dog treats in Portage appetizing. Dried out, crummy, and bland CBD Pet treats will not make your dog want to train or whet his appetite and enthusiasm the same way a juicy piece of meat and sweet smelling cheese will.
Dog treats have become popular grocery items found in shelves of specialty stores, pet stores, discount, and food stores. From expensive treats claiming prime beef cuts to discounted bulk products, cbd dog treats have so many varieties, similar to human treats.
CBD Pet treats in Portage can be hard and chewy since they are supposed to clean the dog's teeth. Some dog treats are meant to aid in digestion and improve the internal health of the dog. Veterinarians have come up with varied dog treats incorporated with various medicines for heartworm prevention, antibiotics, and pain killers.
Some dog owners make their own special dog treats. Homemade dog treats are either made from sliced pieces of steak, small bits of cooked hamburger, chunks of cheese, balls of rice, or even their own special recipes. These can either be CBD Pet Treats In Portage. Some recipes even include molasses, wheat germ, and couscous. Owners should always check with a veterinarian before giving their pets these homemade treats. Remember never to give dogs chocolate not let them chew a chicken bone.
CBD Pet Treats can either be vegetarian or made with meat and dairy. These can range from homemade dog biscuit recipes, cheesy dog biscuits, bacon flavored CBD Dog Chews, multi grain dog biscuits, and microwave dog biscuits. Vegetarian treat recipes include vegetarian dog biscuits, vegan dog biscuit recipes, and doggie Christmas cookies.
CBD Pet Oil In Portage
The ingredients list on the label is where the pet owner makes up his or her mind about whether they like what they read. Those who do or do not want to feed a certain ingredient can look to make sure it is included or excluded.
Some prefer to say no to animal by-products, which may contain heads, feet, viscera and other animal parts not particularly appetizing, and from various species. But protein quality of by-products can actually be quite good, so that may not necessarily be the main bone of contention.
Meat and animal derivatives - sounds tasty, doesn't it? This tends to be seen as an ingredient at the cheaper end of the pet food market, and as a source of protein. In the UK Meat and animal derivatives are legally defined in the Feeding Stuffs Regulations 2005. They are sourced from animals which have been inspected and passed as fit for human consumption and are the parts of the animal which are surplus to the requirements of the human food industry in the UK eg. heart, lung, or muscle meat, which may not be traditionally eaten by people in this country.
Cereal by-products - Headlines such as 'May 4, 2007 -- Cereal Byproducts Company is announcing today that the FDA has determined that there are melamine and/or melamine derivatives in the rice protein concentrate produced by a single source Chinese supplier' do nothing to give confidence to consumers!
Cereal by-products, a cheap source of carbohydrate and vegetable protein by their name and definition are 'by-products' of the human food industry, not usable for human food and could come via bakery/breakfast cereal or similar production. They will possibly be mixed sources of cereal, and may be lower grade than the straight cereals used in premium brands.
Meat Meal is another ingredient that some pet owners don't like the sound of. By-products of the human food chain (carcases with some meat protein remaining) are rendered (heat processed), which removes the fat and water from the product. Meat or poultry meal can contain parts of animals not normally eaten by people. You probably don't want a detailed description (if you do try this one at Wikipedia!)
Suffice to say, this is a huge business converting waste animal tissue into stable, value-added materials for several industries as well as for pet food.
The article from Wikipedia interestingly points out that rendering is one of the oldest stablished recycling processes - taking what would otherwise be waste materials and makes useful products such as fuels, soaps, rubber, plastics, etc. At the same time, rendering solves what would otherwise be a major disposal problem. As an example, the US recycles more than 21 million metric tons annually of highly perishable and noxious organic matter. In 2004, the U.S. industry produced over 8 million metric tons of products, of which 1.6 million metric tons were exported.... food for thought, perhaps!
The UK Pet Food Manufacturers Association (PFMA) states that it uses those parts of the carcass which are either surplus to human requirements or which are not normally consumed by people in the UK. Companies which are members of the PFMA operate their own quality assurance policies including strict specifications for material supplies, routine testing of all incoming materials and the use of vendor assurance schemes (and audits) to monitor their suppliers. The British pet food industry also uses sources of meat and meal from the UK, USA Canada, Australasia and various European countries. All materials imported must comply with the strict British legislation.
UK manufacturers only use materials from animals which are generally accepted in the human food chain. They do not use horsemeat, whales or other sea mammals, kangaroos or a number of other species not eaten by humans. It does use beef, lamb, poultry, pork, fish, shellfish, rabbit and game. The PFMA practice of only using materials derived from animals passed as fit for human consumption is now incorporated into the Animal By-Products Order and PFMA member companies using animal material derived from the UK are recommended to only buy from and sell to companies registered under the Animal By-Products Order.
When looking at an ingredient list, a pet owner also has to decide whether or not their pet has an intolerance to a cereal or protein type -this seems to be a growing problem.
Some consumers try to avoid pet foods with synthetic preservatives, such asbutylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), and ethoxyquin. Ethoxyquin, in particular, has been hotly debated. Current scientific data suggest that ethoxyquin is safe, but some pet owners avoid this additive because of a suspected link to liver damage and other health problems in dogs.
The Natural Alternative
Many products today are preserved with naturally occurring compounds, such as tocopherols (vitamin E) or vitamin C. However, these products generally have a shorter shelf life than those with synthetic preservatives, especially once a bag of food is opened.
Comparing foods with different ingredients is difficult. Take protein content for example. Let's say we have two foods which have the same percentages of protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber and moisture. But one protein or carbohydrate type may be more digestible than another, so that complicates our comparison. For example:-
Food A contains 25% protein that is 60% digestible and food B contains 25% protein that is 85% digestible. That means of food A the body is able to utilize 15% of the protein content, but of food B 21.25%. Logically, to meet the body's requirement of protein, you'd have to feed more of food A than of food B, and the body of the dog eating food B will have to work less to utilize it.
Meats such as poultry, fish and pork all have a high digestibility, as do cereals such as rice and corn. Wheat, soya and oats are less digestible and logically therefore you would have to feed more to get the same nutritional benefits.
Although manufacturers are happy to tell you that the meat they use is human grade and comes from the human food chain, let's be clear that this is not the best fillet steak or free range chicken breast. Meat producers make as much as possible producing for the human market, because it is more profitable- what is left is what you would probably not want to buy if it was put for sale in the butchers or supermarket!
CBD Pet Treats In Portage
Tips for Giving your Pet a Chewy Dog Treat
Chewy dog treats are a great way to keep your pet busy when you are unavailable to play. They also work as a wonderful distraction that keeps your canine preoccupied even when visitors arrive or other activity is going on in your home. Listed here are a few helpful tips for selecting a treat and safely offering it to your pet.
Chewing on the Right Size
Depending on your pet's size, you may prefer a thinner or shorter chewy dog treat. Avoid giving a large dog a very small treat. These can pose a choking problem if your pet can swallow them whole. While most dogs will still try to chew the treat, it is always best to err on the side of safety. A very small dog could be given a lighter chew treat to avoid muscle strain when lifting. Also keep in mind dogs that have gum or teeth problems, especially senior canines, may have a difficult time with a very hard chew bone or other similar treat. If this is the case, look for softer rawhides such as pig ears.
Safety Tips for Chewy Dog Treats
Never hand your dog a chewy treat and leave him or her unattended. Although these are designed for canines, they can become hazards. A well-chewed treat can become small and be swallowed whole while a broken piece or splinter may wind up cutting your pet's gums. While you do not have to constantly watch your dog chew the treat, it is important to check in frequently. Consider having your pet chew the treat in the same room as you are in. Always remove tiny or sharp pieces and throw them away.
Where to Chew
Some dogs have no problem with others being nearby when they are enjoying dog treats. However, it is in their nature to defend their food. If someone unfamiliar or another dog were to approach your pet while chewing, he or she may growl or even nip. If you have other dogs or visitors, consider placing your pet inside a kennel or other safe confinement. This provides a barrier between your pet and others. Plus, your pet will feel more relaxed knowing he or she is chewing in the safety of a den-like environment.
Good Behavior
Your pet should view you as the alpha. That means you should be able to take the dog treat away, even if he or she is not finished chewing it. The best way to reinforce this is to begin at a very young age. Pet your dog while he or she chews, even gently tugging on ears, tail and paws. Never tug hard, this is only to simulate being touched or handled while chewing. Finally, remove the treat from your pet. He or she should never growl, nip or snarl. If your pet allows you to take

Hi, i think all of you know these Methods to create Spawndoors like this (http://www.urbanterror.info/docs/150-spawn-doors/). But by doors like this, the enemy can killing you in the moment you stand in the trigger and throw nades in the short moment into the spawn. I have solved this with a simpler and easier solution. The enemy CAN'T shot in anyway into the spawnroom or look in it, if you go out of your base, you cant go back and this without any doors or triggers !!!
How I did this? It's VERY simple and easy, the solution is a 1-Side-Brush, it exist only from one side. From the other side, u can shoot trough from only one side and go through it from one side.
It is a simple Patch, you create it with SHIFT+P, a pop-up comes, press ok. This is the simple door.

Arsene Wenger has accepted Arsenal have little chance of winning the title now as they sit nine points behind Manchester United with four games to play.
Arsenal fell behind to a Daniel Sturridge goal in the first half, but the game looked to be turning in their favour after the break when Kevin Davies missed a penalty before Robin van Persie levelled the scores.
However, the Gunners were unable to take their chances and were punished late on when Tamir Cohen headed home the winner for Bolton.
"It's hard to lose a game like that," Wenger told Sky Sports. "We gave everything. Our attitude was fantastic. We were 1-0 down and had chances to win it.
"We have to give as much as we can until the last game, but of course the chances are minimal now. The players fought very hard and the players are disappointed."
It was another frustrating match for Arsenal, whose form since the Carling Cup final defeat to Birmingham has cost them dear.
Over the last week, Arsenal have conceded leads to both Liverpool and Tottenham but, despite this latest setback, Wenger is not considering drastic changes.
"I feel this week we could have taken nine points and we have taken two," he said. "We do not have to change our way of playing.
"I feel we have to be more mature in some situations when we are looking too frail. If you look at the way we dropped points it makes it even more frustrating."
Bolton boss Owen Coyle said the victory was important as the players felt the need to make amends for the 5-0 FA Cup semi-final defeat to Stoke in their last outing.
"The boys have been magnificent all season," he said. "We had one terrible, horrible day last week when everything that could go wrong went wrong.
"We didn't feel great about ourselves and that will stay with me till the day I die, but today I think everybody has seen the true Bolton.
"Every one of them worked their socks off. I'm absolutely delighted to get the late winner."
Sturridge added: "We're just delighted to come out here and work hard. After last week's result we wanted to come here and show the fans we had the passion.
"A lot of fans were very unhappy with last week - we did this for the fans today."
After his winner, Cohen unveiled a T-shirt bearing an image of his father, Avi, who died in December after a motorbike accident.
"I came on to protect the 1-1," Cohen said. "I am very happy to score this goal - it's been a very emotional season for me. I am happy we won and collected another three points."

According to RadarOnline, cops were called to Jon and Kate Gosselin's house last night after an argument between the two. The argument is said to have been over Stephanie Santoro, the nanny who was on duty that day. This is the same nanny that is alleged to have been intimate with Jon just over a week ago.
The above picture is of Kate crying after having to leave her house last night.
A source close to the situation reveals, "Kate showed up at the house unexpectedly. It's Jon's scheduled time to be there with the kids." Jon was inside the home and wouldn't let Kate in.
Kate then reportedly started screaming at Jon at the fence outside their PA home about his relationship with Stephanie – the nanny hired by Jon, and not Kate. Cops were called during the screaming match but no arrests were made.
Kate then left and checked into a local hotel.

'Promised Land' review: Damon's depths
Movie review
Promised Land
Drama. Starring Matt Damon, Frances McDormand, John Krasinski and Rosemarie DeWitt. Directed by Gus Van Sant. (R. 120 minutes.)
"Promised Land" is a fine place to start appreciating Matt Damon, who always makes it seem as if everybody else is acting and he's just going through the movie being natural. Damon is the actor who leaves no fingerprints, who never calls attention to himself and never, ever screws up, not once in 20 years. Whether playing Jason Bourne or Mr. Ripley, Damon creates an illusion of the familiar, and that familiarity is put to good use in "Promised Land," in which he plays a salesman for a fracking company, trying to talk rural people into leasing their land for natural-gas drilling.
He is paired with a fellow salesperson, played by Frances McDormand, who also radiates informality and trustworthiness. Once the contracts are signed, the natural-gas company will come in and everyone will get rich - maybe. Or maybe their livestock will die and flames will come shooting out of the water faucets. Damon and McDormand play nice people with high-pressure jobs and roots in the land they're striving to transform. The question of the movie, a question they themselves must ultimately face, is whether they're helping a farm culture survive or acting as the means of its extinction.
"Promised Land" is directed by Gus Van Sant, with attention to the performances and real feeling for the environments that rural people inhabit - the open spaces, the quiet, and the tiny downtown with one store that sells everything and one bar where everyone congregates. Even if you've lived in a city your whole life, it's a world that feels like America.
Yet despite the high spirits and the proud talk of the residents, it's a culture on life support, with farms undercut by big agriculture, unable to survive without government help. So to some of the residents, fracking looks like the miracle they've been waiting for.
In an early scene, Damon sits in a living room and tells someone about the payoff from fracking. "You'd be a millionaire." He says it with enough simplicity that it seems true and with enough force that the thought moves from the screen and fills the theater. Imagine someone - someone you instinctively trust and believe - telling you that if you sign something you will become a millionaire. And if you don't sign? The people on either side of you will become millionaires, but your kids won't be able to go to college.
Written by Damon and John Krasinski, who plays an environmentalist (from a story by Dave Eggers), "Promised Land" is a measured, careful movie that doesn't raise its voice and make broad claims, but quietly expresses concerns.
One concern, irrespective of the merits or dangers of fracking, is that the rural communities are no match for the natural-gas companies, with assets in the billions, and so their chance of getting unbiased, unfiltered information is doubtful. Thus, the film serves as a modest balance against that state of affairs, as well as a record of the moment in time when these decisions were being made. It's curious to consider how this very topical film will be regarded in 20 years.
"Promised Land" plays out as a kind of campaign between Damon and McDormand on one side and Krasinski on the other, as the folksy environmentalist who rides into town and makes everyone love him. Damon is in his element here, playing someone trying to work things out in his mind, forced into introspection, while feeling pressured on all sides.
In addition to Krasinski and McDormand, who offer playful support, the movie gets boosts from Hal Holbrook, as the town's wise man, and Rosemarie DeWitt, who has never been so appealing - it's a dangerous charm to be able turn it on like that. But in the end this is Damon's movie, in that he's the moral locus, the film's center of meaning. It's about time to consider the possibility that Damon's appearing in so many good movies is no coincidence, that he's a big part of what makes them good.

Obama victory leaves Cubans relieved, hopeful
Wed Nov 7, 2012 3:35am EST
* Cubans feared Romney would toughen U.S. policy
* Obama lifted restrictions on remittances, travel to Cuba
* U.S.-Cuba relations slightly improved under Obama
By Jeff Franks
HAVANA, Nov 7 (Reuters) – Cubans breathed a collective sigh of relief on
Wednesday over U.S. President Barack Obama's re-election victory and
expressed hope he might still bring a change in U.S. policy toward Cuba
that many expected after he won his first term in 2008.
They generally supported him over Republican candidate Mitt Romney
because they feared Romney would be the second coming of President
George W. Bush, who toughened the longstanding U.S. trade embargo and
hardened relations with the Cuban government during his time in the
White House.
"Bush made it really hard for us economically and even to see family who
live in the United States. If Romney had won most of the people here
would have been really sad," said Havana domestic worker Violeta
Gutierrez as she washed dishes in her employer's kitchen.
Obama's 2008 victory raised hopes that the U.S. trade embargo against
Cuba, imposed in 1962 with the intent of toppling the island's communist
government, would finally be lifted and U.S.-Cuba relations, hostile
since the 1959 revolution led by Fidel Castro, would improve.
The embargo is still in place and relations have improved only slightly,
but in 2009 Obama lifted Bush-era restrictions on remittances and Cuban
American visits to the country 90 miles (145 km) from Florida, both
heartily welcomed by Cubans.
The flow of remittances has risen to an estimated $2 billion, a huge
help to Cubans who earn on average $19 a month, and 300,000 to 400,000
Cuban Americans have been pouring into the island annually, bringing
their families a steady flow of consumer goods, food and medicines hard
to find in Cuba.
They have helped Cuba's budding self-employed sector by bringing items
for Cubans to sell, although stiff new import duties imposed by the
government threaten the influx of goods.
"The money people receive from their family has changed their lives. It
helps them eat better, dress, buy soap for a bath, everything thanks to
that money," said Gutierrez, who gets money occasionally from family
members in Miami.
Romney had threatened to roll back Obama's changes if he won the
presidency and was supported by Cuban American lawmakers who say the
easing of restrictions had only helped the Cuban government, led by
President Raul Castro, younger brother of now retired Fidel Castro.
"The Cuban American extremists favor policies that hurt the Cuban people
and give the Cuban government excuses for their failures," said
dissident Miriam Leiva at an election night function at the U.S.
Interests Section in Havana, which the United States has instead of an
embassy because the two countries have no official diplomatic relations.
A straw vote by those in attendance, among them Cuban dissidents and
diplomats from the United States and other countries, went to Obama 64-19.
Obama also renewed U.S.-Cuba talks on immigration and postal issues, but
the mild rapprochement ended when Cuba arrested American Alan Gross and
sentenced him to 15 years in prison for setting up Internet networks on
the island.
Washington insisted he was only trying to improve Internet access for
Cuban Jewish groups, but he was working for a U.S. program that promotes
political change on the island, which the Cuban government views as
Despite the setbacks, handicrafts vendor Rene Castillo said four more
years of Obama still held the promise of hope for better days between
the two ideological foes.
"Obama is the hope that more things change between Cuba and the United
States. Not even under (President Bill) Clinton, who also did his part
in favor of better ties, was there so much interaction as there is with
Obama," he said.
"Now it's needed that he fill himself with courage and lift the embargo,
but here everyone knows he can't do it alone," said Castillo.
Cuban officials have expressed less optimism about Obama, saying before
the election they expected no major changes in U.S. policy no matter who
won because Obama and Romney shared the goal of toppling Cuban
communism, but with different tactics.
Obama "proposes to liquidate the Cuban Revolution, but with softness,"
Cuban National Assembly President Ricardo Alarcon told Venezuelan
television network Telesur in a recent interview.

I would like to take this opportunity to say thanks to one of the Eminence City Council members. This member, in my opinion, is the type of person that understands his duty as a member of the Eminence City Council. I called him to see if he could help my family with a problem and he assured me that he would try and get it solved. When I hung up the phone I thought that he would get back with me in a few days but the very next day not only did he call me back, but he had already solved my problem. I know that this might seem small to some but it meant a lot to my family.

The series, a first of its kind, will feature clips of the Rebbe with advice on the most beneficial approaches and methods for raising healthy Yiddishe, Chassidishe children. Each 1-2 minute clip contains pearls of practical insight, illuminating the issues surrounding parenting in our modern age. These will be supplemented with interviews from the My Encounter with the Rebbe series, as well as additional parenting-related photos and stories.

JEM's newest release, A Glimpse Through The Veil: Vol. 2, is a perfect selection of stories, highlighting the power of the Rebbe's Brachos. Over the years, I had heard a number of versions of some of these, but I was never sure of the true details and origin.
We were aware that the famous Dr. Viktor Frankl resided in the city, but as he never associated with the Jewish community in Vienna, we did not have the opportunity to make his acquaintance. He certainly never stepped foot in the Chabad center we established.
The app is available in the Apple and Android app stores and is compatible with the iPhone, iPad and Android devices, populated with hundreds of clips, it is updated with the weekly Living Torah program, the app also updates regularly with fresh content to current events.
In honor of the launch, JEM is making a special offer to its first "early adopters" – those who become members by Tuesday 27 Iyar 12pm – a guarantee of their low introductory price for one full year.
The app, which boasts the current Living Torah program as well as over 2,000 videos of the Rebbe searchable by multiple tags and indexes, is now available in Apple app store with both Iphone and Ipad versions, and in the Android store with both smartphone and tablet versions.
The parade would be marching, as usual, down Eastern Parkway past 770 and in front of the Rebbe, and for the first time this year, the parade would continue all the way to Empire Boulevard for the fair and carnival.
By Divine Providence, this week's installment of Living Torah will commence a four-part series featuring the Rebbe's outlook on a number of military and defense issues
Lady Thatcher, who visited Lubavitch schools in London, and was supportive of the Lubavitch Shluchim, spoke with JEM in 1992, about the Rebbe's leadership.
If you'd like to be included in the drawing, please send your name, email address and device type to: firstname.lastname@example.com
Testers will be asked to send their feedback and suggestions to JEM.
At the time, Shluchim, Anash, and world Jewry responded in an outpouring of grief and love.
Rabbi Elkanah Shmotkin, JEM's director, had heard a fascinating story of the Rebbe which had recently been recorded in a My Encounter with the Rebbe interview, and he shared it with his fellow congregants.
The Living Torah app, brainchild of JEM's staff and supporters, and the result of over a year of work by three separate teams, will be shared with a small, preselected group of beta testers over the next couple of weeks.
In an effort to perpetuate the memory of their mother Mrs. Chanchy Bruk A"H, whose second yahrzeit is approaching on Zayin Teves, The Bruk Family has undertaken to subsidize the cost price of a substantial number of popular JEM DVDs of the Rebbe, and donate them to the Misameach organization based in Lakewood New Jersey
Chasidism has always been known for its stories – stories of wisdom and wit, of piety and devotion, of comfort and salvation. Perhaps most well-known, however, and most beloved, are its stories of the miracles of the Tzadikim.
An unexpected surprise awaited the Shluchim, in the form of a temporary photo gallery featuring a stunning collection of photographs from Tishrei, 5748, also known as "Tismach" from the lens of photographer Levi Yitzchok Freidin.
In tribute to former Prime Minister Yitzchak Shamir, who passed away this past Shabbos at the age of 96, JEM has posted an excerpt from the film exploring his relationship with the Rebbe.
The gallery is open to the public at no charge from 27 Sivan / June 17 until 11 Tammuz / July 1
It is located at 362 Albany Avenue (corner Union St) Brooklyn, New York.
Can we please have a drum roll....
Our winner is none other than Enrique Montes from Austin, Texas! Enrique has dedicated his donation in honor of his dear Chabad Shluchim, Rabbi and Rebbitzen Levertov. He will receive this exclusive, beautiful 32" framed picture of the Rebbe.
The Living Archive is proud to announce the completion of the first phase of its mission – the entire video and film collection of the Rebbe has been preserved.
To celebrate this monumental achievement JEM has produced a new DVD "Joy!" with joyous scenes through the decades of the Rebbe's leadership.
Do you say "hareini mekabel" every morning? Do you know why?
In the 1500s Rabbi Shlomo Luria, 'the Arizal,' implemented the practice of starting one's day with the statement: "I hereby accept upon myself to fulfill the Mitzvah of 'Love your fellow as yourself.'"
The film features a short biography of the Rebbetzin life, plus the testimony of twenty-two individuals who knew the Rebbetzin up close and personally.
Yesterday we went out to Wilmington, Delaware to interview Rabbi Dr. Immanuel Schochet. He was visiting his daughter and son-in-law - the Vogels, the Chabad Shluchim in Delaware – for Shavuos.
JEM's My Encounter with the Rebbe team had the Zchus of interviewing him at his home in Los Angeles, on 11 Elul, 5768, September 9, 2008 about his encounters with the Rebbe.

I sort of can't deal with this year. Not that anything particularly bad happened in it, but rather that it has flown by so fast that I'm having a hard time conceiving the fact that it's over. Even on a day-to-day basis I'm constantly shocked that it's already the afternoon! By Wednesday I'm scandalized that Thursday is tomorrow!
That said, it's been quite a nice year, and I really must thank all of you for reading and commenting, e-mailing, and all of that! I'm so grateful for everyone, and for this little community that exists. This year especially I've met so many lovely people and new friends! So to wrap things up, here are some highlights from my year!
I got bangs! After pining after them for years, I ended up with bangs and chopped off my hair.
On day in February it was unseasonably warm.
I tried to have auburn hair for a little while. I'm starting to get the itch for it again, but we'll see if I ever have the nerve. Shortly after this post, I accidentally put that sweater in the dryer and it was lost to the shrinks.
I recreated my favorite movie's poster, and have really been dressing with this sort of thing in mind ever since, especially now that we're heading into the cooler months again! I also cut my hair the shortest it's been in ages, and haven't touched it since!
I saw Jane Eyre and started obsessing about that too. John and I started taking more day-trips and visiting historical sites from my childhood.
Like Clermont. I had meant to get back there in the fall, but somehow it seemed I kept missing the height of the leaf changing season because of colds and things, so I suppose we'll have to go again in the spring! It was one of my favorite places all year, and I ended up with a dress that I never expected would be one of my favorites!
The final Harry Potter movie came out and I had a little party to go with it, and perfected my costume. I've been heartbroken ever since, really, but that's alright! It was so much fun!
I turned twenty-five! And went to the beach, and marveled that summer was almost over.
This month was slow, as I was floored by two sinus infections! The highlight was probably when I met up with a bunch of my absolute favorite blogger ladies in NYC, where I forgot to take pictures!
I attempted to levitate in a park, while wearing tweed.
I dressed like a book for the second time!
And this month, I embraced color again!
Happy New Year everyone! Love to you all!

He was either the champion of the downtrodden or a defender of bloated, unnecessary government, the punchline to a political joke or a figure touched by tragedy. There wasn't much middle ground in how America viewed Ted Kennedy, but the legacy he leaves behind after his death from brain cancer late Tuesday at the age of 77 is nothing if not extensive.
He was either the champion of the downtrodden or a defender of bloated, unnecessary government, the punchline to a political joke or a figure touched by tragedy. There wasn't much middle ground in how America viewed Ted Kennedy, but the legacy he leaves behind after his death from brain cancer late Tuesday at the age of 77 is nothing if not extensive.
It's not necessarily what one would have expected from the youngest sibling in a political clan that produced a war hero, an ambassador, an advocate for the disabled, a senator and cabinet member, and, of course, a president. Ted was perceived as the least serious, the one most prone to trouble in his political life. Certainly he wasn't the one who was groomed for a lengthy, world-changing stay in Congress. But unlike brothers John and Robert, he was blessed with longevity, and with that came the ability to achieve prolonged legislative success.
Of course, for all that he accomplished, his record was hardly spotless and free of controversy. Harvard University showed him the door for cheating on an exam in 1951, but later readmitted him after two years' service in the Army. His middle age was dogged by persistent reports of drunken carousing and occasional womanizing in Washington and around the country, which turned him into fodder for late-night comics and slowed some of his legislative crusades during the Reagan years - though his second marriage shelved most of his excesses and redirected his energies into legislating.
Those failings were minor compared to the incident he could never escape: Chappaquiddick, where in 1969 an automobile accident claimed the life of a young passenger in his car, Mary Jo Kopechne. The incident - in which Kennedy drove his vehicle off a bridge on the way back from a late-night party, didn't report Kopechne's drowning death for nearly 10 hours, and didn't answer questions from an aghast public for a week afterward - probably torpedoed any possibility he ever had of becoming president and left a permanent question mark about his judgment. Yet he still sought the Oval Office a decade later in an insurgent campaign against Jimmy Carter that badly fractured his party.
Once his presidential failure was sealed, however, the senator returned to the kind of inside-baseball politics he was truly suited for, and really began to build his achievements. His record in nearly a half-century in public office brags accomplishments most politicians can only dream of. Among them: immigration reform in the 1960s; the launch of the "War on Cancer" in the 1970s; the anti-apartheid sanctions of the 1980s; the Americans With Disabilities Act, State Children's Health Insurance Program, health care portability and family leave in the 1990s; and the No Child Left Behind law and the Medicare prescription drug benefit in this decade. Along the way, he made time to nudge along the peace process in Northern Ireland and to oppose wars a generation apart in Vietnam and Iraq.
His was a record that was undoubtedly liberal - indeed, it was a widely successful Republican fundraising tactic over the years to raise the spectre of Kennedy-supported reforms and watch the political donations start flowing in. But the senator was more liberal than most of his legislative achievements, largely because nearly all of them took shape with a Republican at his side - a conscious decision to win broader support even if doing so meant diluting his goals.
He was half of a political odd couple over the years with such conservatives as Orrin Hatch, Strom Thurmond, George W. Bush and John McCain, and a survey of congressional Republicans earlier this decade found Kennedy named the lawmaker they believed was easiest to compromise with. Many folks in Washington had wondered aloud this year whether his absence while battling cancer had doomed chances of finding middle ground on the current fight over his pet issue, health care reform.
His ability to succeed in the legislative arena made him the senator to emulate, particularly for high-profile newcomers eager to succeed and for failed presidential candidates still hoping to create a legacy. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in particular were advised to follow the same rules Kennedy did when started in the Senate and needed to disprove fears that he was a lightweight, or interested more in the title than in public service. Those rules: Keep your head down, master the issues, work hard.
Like all politicians, you can agree or disagree with his views - it's the kind of vigorous debate he probably would have enjoyed - but it's tough to argue that he was not a good public servant. His willingness to accept in crafting laws that the perfect should never be the enemy of the good, and that all sides should have a seat at the table may seem antiquated in this era of zero-sum politics, but it's a simple roadmap to success - regardless of party.

Finally, an Ozone Generator For Ozone Treatment and Therapy To Disinfect and Sterilize Household Odors, Unwanted Bacteria, and Bad Breath (plus much, much more!)
- An Ozone Generator is one of the most powerful sterilizing devices in the world.
- Ozonated oil acts as a powerful antioxidant to a variety of skin disorders.
- Ozonated water is highly effective at neutralizing the anaerobic bacteria in the back of your throat that causes bad breath!
As you know, I'm constantly on the lookout for the latest scientific breakthroughs on how to prevent bad breath. My latest research has uncovered a device called an Ozonator that not only helps to prevent bad breath, but also helps to deodorize just about any household odor.
First, let me explain a little bit about ozone (O3). It's a natural, colorless gas with a distinct fresh odor, similar to a day at the beach. When used properly, it provides a wide range of benefits. Ozone is a natural molecule made up of three atoms of oxygen. If you want to know what ozone smells like, just close your eyes and imagine you're smelling the fresh, clean, scent of spring rain that occurs right after a rainstorm. This scent is actually ozone - nature's own gift to us.
There are two basic ways to use the ozone generated by my Ozone Machine:
1. To ozonate an oil (create topical solutions to soothe skin conditions, cuts/burns, etc.)
2. To ozonate water (drinking, rinsing, sterilizing, deodorizing)
Ozonating an Oil
When ozone is bubbled into olive oil or safflower oil for long periods of time, the oil eventually thickens, holding the ozone within. When kept refrigerated, this gel will hold the ozone for years. When this ozonated oil is applied to the skin, it has very positive effects on a variety of skin conditions, especially those caused by inflammation.
To achieve the minimum concentrations required for an effective ozonated oil, you will need to accumulate at least 24 hours of ozonation. However, since my Ozone Generator runs for only 30 minutes at a time (an important safety precaution!), you will need to reset the Ozone Machine frequently. The good news is that once you've ozonated an oil, it lasts in the refrigerator for a long, long time.
Ozonating Water
Ozonated Water has literally dozens of different uses! Remember that ozone is an incredibly powerful sterilizer and disinfectant. Anything that you must clean, neutralize, or deodorize will benefit from ozonated water. The list includes things such as sterilizing sponges, sanitizing bedding, soaking dentures, purifying drinking water, etc. You can even use the ozonator with any of my TheraBreath Oral Rinses to make them even more effective at attacking the anaerobic sulfur-producing bacteria that cause bad breath!
To ozonate any liquid simply attach one of the included plastic tubes to the ozonator. On the other end of the tube, attach one of the ozonator stones. Place the stone into the liquid that you want to ozonate (whether it's water, oil, or TheraBreath Rinse) and let the ozonator go to work!
Some other uses of ozonated water include:
- Sterilizing kitchen/bathroom items
- Deodorize dirty laundry
- Control smells
- Sanitize your bedding
- Remove pet odors
- Soak dentures and night guards

Wow, those snowy doughnuts must have been real good. Really, was it that good as you sank in on the treat?
We're not talking a tasty treat here, but rather a dastardly deed.
No good came out of a coward's "joy ride" at the Buford Recreation Department's youth soccer fields Feb. 16.
How could anyone have a good time as they drove an ATV and cut deep-rutted doughnuts into the youth soccer fields?
What was this person thinking? Obviously, he or she was not thinking straight.

Be inspired.Joined: 04 Oct 2003Posts: 1322Location: Fountain Valley, California (USA) Posted: Wed May 10, 2006 8:52 pm Post subject: What is 'Success'? Here's a small writing assignment I wrote for my MBA class on a video I found somewhat eye-opening. Buffett And Gates On Success Bill Gates, Chairman of Microsoft, and Warren Buffett, an investment expert, are the two wealthiest men in the world, and were invited by the University of Washington to have a candid conversation with its Business students on what success is. The session was later released on video with the title, ?Buffett And Gates on Success.? This paper summarizes the characteristics, beliefs, and values on what Gates and Buffett shared as having contributed to their success. Common beliefs that both Gates and Buffett attributed to their achievements are: - Having a vision - Enjoy doing what you will be doing daily - Taking risks - Not quitting - Picking the right people to work with or for you A vision ? or a direction ? on where one would like to go helps define what one would like to accomplish in one?s lifetime. It can help guide individuals, or even groups, towards a common, all-encompassing goal, and provide the inspiration to find the strength to take risks and never give up in achieving whatever parameters one defines for ?success.? At the same time, if one doesn?t take risks into uncertainty, then how can the first step be taken towards reaching the goal? Warren Buffett described taking risks as ?jumping into the pool? and dealing with possible consequences afterwards. The importance was to get started. That?s also how many learn how to swim ? taking that first chance. Just like taking a plunge into the pool for the first time to learn how to swim, however, risks sometimes pay off and sometimes they do not. One of the qualities both Gates and Buffett shared is that an important step towards reaching success is to not give up even when the tough gets tough. As Henry Ford once said, ?When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.? What would work be if it is not fun? Gates absolutely seems to enjoy being part of some of the most powerful men in the world who can shape society towards the better through technology. Buffett loves playing the investment game and quipped that he will retire five years after he is dead. Both thus agree that an important ingredient to success to enjoy doing what you would be doing every day. Gates and Buffett also agreed that picking the right people to work with or for you is an important part as well. This will be covered in more detail later. Bill Gates elaborated on the aforementioned beliefs with fascination and strong interests in the kind of work he is doing. He very much enjoys technology, a field that most perhaps would have considered ?nonsense? over two decades ago, and had a vision ? a limitless one ? to use his passion to improve society. He began by focusing on this vision and finding ways on making it happen by exploring opportunities for breakthroughs. His greatest role models were his parents who constantly encouraged his family to read and learn about the inner workings of business. Gates faced many obstacles in his career. In fact, his early years were filled with huge, defeating challenges that could have forced him to declare bankruptcy. But Gates endured. He wanted to make his vision happen and continued to take risks against all odds. Gates went on to become the wealthiest man in the world, and attributes part of his success to having partnered with the right people. They allowed him to operate with trust, and provided various sets of skills and checks-and-balances with a common vision, and find the inspiration to take on the looming bankruptcies of his early career. In fact, he stated that picking the right people was his best business decision he ever made. Warren Buffett said that what made him successful is rationality, not necessarily intelligence. The rationality to allow oneself to succeed and not be self-defeating through hindering thoughts such as, ?I can?t do this.? He added that one must simply find the qualities that one admires in others, and take those qualities as one?s own to practice on. With sufficient practice, those qualities would eventually become habit-forming and permanently be part of one?s self. Buffett likens success to happiness. His triumph is simply to have become a happy person. And happy he certainly appeared through his funny, humorous, optimistic personality. He seemed to be quite a people-person, an attribute he credits his wife with, and further stated that both she and his father have been his role models. When asked about innovation, Buffett said that if you can successfully get your top managers to want to do what they are doing every day, even if they have already met or exceeded their financial needs, they would do the innovation for you simply because they are enjoying their work. This suggests that Buffett does not get involved with running a company he acquires, but rather leave all decisions to the top executives of that organization. The hands-off approach would allow his managers to grow and be empowered to take their business to the next levels, adding to the bottom-line of Buffett?s investment firm. With all the success both men are enjoying, what would they like to change if they had the chance? Gates openly shared that if he had the opportunity, he would have liked to change the way he spent his free time. He cited that many opportunities would not have been lost if he had spent his time more wisely. Buffett, on the other hand, would like to change nothing. He is happy and thankful for everything he has at this moment. Bill Gates appeared to me as a serious business person who answered his questions with mostly serious, concise, well-crafted responses that were in line with his vision of using technology to better the world. He is not known for being as charismatic and motivating a presenter as Apple?s Steve Jobs, but his heart and passion towards his vision came through clearly. His business sense and aspiration to improve the world have certainly driven him to lead Microsoft to become the global leader in personal software development. Warren Buffett emerged as a humorous, optimistic, and happy individual. There was not much to dislike about his personality. This quality has undoubtedly helped him inspire individuals and groups towards helping him achieve the success he is currently enjoying. However, most of his responses did not directly answer the questions posed to him or both him and Bill Gates. He replied with wittiness that made almost everyone laugh, but in the end did not necessarily answer the subject matter. Warren Buffett is a very likeable person and Bill Gates has a passion to shape society towards a better world. Both have achieved success through having a limitless, passionate vision, taking risks and not quitting, picking the right people for the job, and by doing what they enjoy doing the most. Their insight will certainly have an impact on individuals who would like to strive towards their own success. Back to top Mikey_Life is good.

The world's population is getting older and many consumers say the world isn't prepared for the shift. According to the World Health Organization, 2 billion people will be at least 60 years old by 2050, which raises questions and concerns for consumers as well as industries.
To examine consumer concerns about growing old and evaluate how product and service manufacturers and retailers are meeting the challenges that arise with age, the Nielsen Global Survey about aging polled more than 30,000 Internet respondents in 60 countries. The findings shed light on significant gaps between the products and services currently available and what consumers say they need for their health and well-being in the "golden" years.

After the success of Iron Man and its sequel, the next character Marvel Studios decided to bank on was Thor, arguably the most challenging Marvel Comics character to adapt from the core team of heroes featured in The Avengers since he's the one who's story takes place in large part, on another planet/realm.
Director Kenneth Branagh succeeded however and Thor remains to date the most financially successful single-character property Marvel has released outside of Iron Man and the studio hopes to continue that success in November with Thor: The Dark World.
While Thor was applauded for crafting believable live-action versions of otherworldly characters and introducing the fan-favorite villain of Loki, it was criticized for its lack of scale in its small-town scenes on Earth and its overly shiny portrayal of Asgard. As it turns out, that's the core issue Alan Taylor had with the original as well and something he aims to rectify in The Dark World.
While interview Taylor on the set of Thor 2 last fall, we asked him about the difference in style and aesthetic in the sequel, something we witnessed first hand while exploring the massive and details sets in London's Shepperton and Pinewood Studios.
"The Ken movie was very successful. He brought together an amazing cast and focused what could be a huge rambling mythology on varying intimate family relations, and brother versus brother, father and son, that was all brilliant.
The only qualm I had with his movie was the look of it, to me, felt too shiny and too brand new. And I understand all the choices. It's basically because the Asgardians in that take were very much a futuristic alien race that we mistook for gods. And when I came in, I was in love with the Norse mythology. I was in love with sort of grounding it more into kind of a Viking or medieval look and a sort of a sense of history and weight and stuff like that.
So, Marvel seemed to have some interest in that as well, so coming off Game of Thrones where we sort of enjoyed combining fantasy with some sense of three-dimensionality and real life, that's what I tried to bring in here. It's a funny balancing act, because you have to be funny, in the way that Marvel's funny, and you have to be true to some pretty absurd things, like you guys saw elves in spaceships. [LAUGHS] But then to try to make that relatable and real and textured and rich and stuff. So, in Asgard, for example, we're seeing the back streets of Asgard rather than the shiny, golden palace, and we go into some shiny palace rooms, but we tend to blow them up this time.
And on Earth, it's London, trying to capture contemporary London. So, ideally, you'll have all the pleasures of something that feels real, but also all of the joys that go with a Marvel movie. We'll see whether we're playing off this combination or not."
Are you excited to explore the streets and culture of Asgard?
Alan Taylor directs Thor 2 off of Christopher Yost, Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely's screenplay. The film stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Stellan Skarsgård, Idris Elba, Christopher Eccleston, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Kat Dennings, Ray Stevenson, Zachary Levi, Tadanobu Asano, Jaimie Alexander, Rene Russo and Anthony Hopkins.
Thor: The Dark World on November 8, 2013, Captain America: The Winter Soldier on April 4, 2014, Guardians of the Galaxy on August 1, 2014, The Avengers: Age of Ultron on May 1, 2015, Ant-Man on July 31, 2015, and unannounced films for May 6 2016, July 8 2016 and May 5 2017.

Madison: So Many Awesome Sauces to Choose from at Dotty Dumpling's Dowry
Dotty Dumpling's Dowry
317 N Frances Street, Madison WI 53703 (map); 608-259-0000; dottydumplingsdowry.com
Cooking Method: Griddled
Short Order: Expertly cooked, juicy burgers with a variety of delicious homemade sauces
Want Fries With That? Fries are some of the best frozen I've had. Breaded onion rings are also a standout, just be sure to get sauces for dipping
Price: Melting Pot burger, $7.79; Heart Throb burger, $7.29; Southwest burger, $7.49; jumbo fries, $2.79; onion rings, $4.49
Dotty Dumpling's Dowry is a Madison institution. It's had to move locations a couple times, but it's still packed with UW students, urban professionals, and state workers on any given night. What they come for is a dark, intimate setting to enjoy some great burgers and fries.
The star of the burgers is really the house sauces. Choose your sauce carefully, because it's what will stand out most in your burger. That's not a bad thing, though, as all of the sauces I tried were incredibly good. Together with the locally raised, mild-flavored beef, each burger was a lovely little masterpiece.
My favorite—though in this case that's like choosing a favorite child—was the Melting Pot burger. According to the menu, it's also a lot of other peoples' favorite too; it's their number one selling burger. The 6-ounce hand-pattied beef is topped with cheddar, Swiss, and provolone cheeses, bacon, and their English garlic sauce. I can never have too much cheese on a burger, and it's not often you see provolone as part of a combo instead of American. All together, the cheeses are slightly sharp and nutty, but came out not completely melted. The English garlic sauce is mayonnaise-based with garlic and parsley, kind of like a bold aioli.
The menu states that all burgers are cooked "pink in the middle," which is a reassuring sign considering Milwaukee's subpar track record. Both the Melting Pot and another burger, the Heart Throb, were ordered medium, and by god, they were medium (if not a little under!). Who knew I'd have to go to Madison to get an actual pink burger? A third burger, the Southwest, was ordered medium well, and it came out perfectly cooked as well. All the burgers dripped with juice and were real pleasures to eat.
The Heart Throb sauce on its namesake burger was another standout. It's cilantro, jalapeño, and garlic in a supposedly cream cheese base, but it wasn't really creamy and seemed more like a cilantro pesto. It added a real punch of flavor and had a nice heat from the jalapeño, perfect for cutting through the richness of the beef. The bacon on all three burgers was excellent: crisp, dark brown, and smokey.
BBQ sauce on the Southwest burger was sweet and sticky but applied lightly so it didn't overpower the rest of the sandwich. Its placement between the beef and the cheese worked much better than the sauces in the other burgers, which were applied under the beef directly on the bottom bun. In both of those cases the bun was almost completely disintegrated. Although I normally enjoy these light, airy sesame seed buns, they really do a disservice to the structural integrity when copious sauces are introduced.
Fries and other sides are served à la carte and by the basket for sharing. The skin-on fries are frozen but quite good and are great dippers for all the various sauces. The onion rings are breaded instead of battered, making them extra crunchy.
In the name of science, I tried two more sauces with the fries and onion rings: a lemon and herb mayonnaise; and Boomerang, a mayo-mustard combo with black pepper and anchovies. The lemon and herb was refreshing and cut through the grease, while the Boomerang was assertive with black pepper.
It's hard to decide which burger to order at Dotty's. All of the sauces are fantastic in their own way, and the expertly cooked beef is good enough to stand on its own. It might be best to go with a few friends and order plenty of sauces to share, especially if you're indecisive. Or you might just have to go over and over again to try them all. That's definitely not a bad thing.

Thursday, July 15, 2010
This is dereliction of duty by the President and his Sec of State. To not be aware of a law that is supposed to keep children safe from sexual predators is abhorrent. Oh and it gets worse, "In one case study, the sex offender was issued a passport in his name while in prison, which is allowed under federal law, while another was issued a passport after becoming delinquent in child support, an offense for which State must deny passports. Based on interviews with local police departments, several of our cases showed that sex offenders left the country and moved to Mexico." Mexico is a country listed as a sex tourism destination by our State department. I guess these people are now having a good time having sex with children in Mexico.
Now you would think the State Department would just take responsibility say we'll make sure this doesn't ever happen again and be done with it. However their response was something quite different, The State Department also took issue with the title of the GAO report, "Passports Issued to Thousands of Registered Sex Offenders," calling it "misleading." We are concerned that it conveys more 'shock value' than factual accuracy," reads the response. The title also fails to convey that GAO found no evidence that the offenders used their passports to commit sex offenses abroad," the letter reads.
Well of course these people didn't use their passports to commit sex crimes abroad they just wanted to go to a country that the U.S. list has a sex tourism destination to get a tan. GIVE ME A BREAK! Now I'm not saying every person that goes to Mexico is involved in sex trafficking, but if your already involved in that industry I think it's a pretty good bet that's why your going there.
Surely that's all the bad news out of this report, unfortunately no.
Additionally, 30 of the sex offenders who are federal employees were identified through salary data provided by the Department of the Treasury, the U.S. Postal Service and the Defense Finance and Accounting Service.
"It also is disturbing that the GAO found examples prior to that new law where the State Department issued passports to convicted sex offenders who fled law enforcement, received government housing subsidies and work for the Post Office. This report raises a lot of serious questions about how effectively the government protects us from child predators," Grassley said.
WOW! Let me see if I have this right not only were they fleeing from law enforcement that were also give government housing and jobs. Not just any jobs, but jobs in the postal service which means they might be putting the mail in my box every day. If that doesn't scare you I guess nothing does. I think it should go without saying that sex offenders should not be allowed to have federal or state employment. I like to think we could find a better character of person to work in our government, but wait there's more.
According to GAO, about half of the 4,500 sex offenders who received passports lived in five states -- California, Texas, Florida, New York, and Michigan -- and at least 12 individuals were approved landlords in the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Section 8 housing program during the two years before the study's time frame.
So it's not bad enough that people have to live in government housing, but now they have a sex offender has their landlord. Would you want a sex offender coming to your door collecting rent once a month. I'm not saying they need Donald Trump to be the landlord but could we at least find someone who isn't a sex criminal.
Finally, "The GAO acknowledged that the number of sex offenders it found receiving passports might have been low, because the data compared passport database records to the National Sex Offender Registry, which could lack or contain invalid Social Security numbers."
So the GAO is saying that with all the bad news in this article the situation is probably worse than we know.
Now not all this happened on President Obama's watch, but President Bush signed a law aimed at dealing with this and President Obama basically didn't bother to find out about that law. How can you be President and not know about a law that was signed about one month before you took the Oath of office? It's not like it was signed 30 years ago and everyone had forgotten about it, or that it was an unimportant and seldom used statue that just appeared in a line of a bill. This was a law written to protect children and punish sex traffickers from other countries.
The GAO lays out some examples of what it is talking about on pages 11-13 of it's report. You can find the report at http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d10643.pdf
However I should warn you that it is very disturbing.

You are so right Daniel. Obama has been one long dereliction of duty, since day one. Great post.ReplyDelete
I seriously doubt that a registered sex offender that went throught jail time, probation and required therapy is out to travel for sex. The laws in the USA are clear if a SO goes over seas and break our laws over seas they will have to answer for it back in the USA. Most travels are for vacation, business and some to just live somewhere that the sex offender doesn't have to register. Can you really blame them for that I mean if you commit a murder and finish your parole it's over but if you are 19 and had sex with your 16 year old GF dude your are hung out to dry! Let thesee guy live their lives.ReplyDelete
