About Rev. Pee Kitty
While my driver's license says Jason Levine, I'm known to most as Reverend Pee Kitty, or just "PK" for short. (I tend to get called "RPK" a lot, which honestly confuses me; would you refer to a Mr. Greg Jones as "MGJ"? But I digress . . .) I reside in northwestern Georgia, in a tiny, middle-of-nowhere town between Chattanooga and Atlanta -- two of the best cities in the nation to live near, in my humble opinion -- with my wife, in-laws, and a small menagerie of critters.
I often get asked about where my (admittedly unusual) name comes from. The short answer is, "It's a SubGenius thing." If you want to read the long answer, click here to display it. (Warning, contains a teeny bit of profanity.)
Professionally, I'm the Assistant GURPS Line Editor -- I review, edit, write, and assist authors with new GURPS supplements for a living. (Yes, it's an awesome job.) I've authored or co-authored several GURPS books, from the Creatures of the Night series to the Dungeon Fantasy line, and a ton of verbiage on psionics. (Click here for a full list.) I'm also active in the Men in Black program, attending several Chattanooga and Atlanta conventions each year to demo our games.
If you want to get a hold of me, Or just message me in the forums, where I spend entirely too much of my time. I'm always happy to answer any questions or hear feedback about the site!

The Rocket has been silenced.
A federal judge assigned to the perjury trial of former Red Sox and Yankees great Roger Clemens has issued a gag order for all of the principals involved in the case for fear of tainting the jury pool.
Clemens was indicted by a federal grand jury on August 19 for allegedly lying under oath. The pitcher faces a six-count indictment that accuses him of obstructing a congressional inquiry with 15 misleading statements in regards to his possible use of steroids or human growth hormone.
U.S. & World
Clemens continues to deny and wrongdoing in the case and took to Twitter to proclaim his innocence.
"I never took HGH or Steroids. And I did not lie to Congress," he wrote after the indictment was made public. "I look forward to challenging the Governments accusations, and hope people will keep an open mind until trial. I appreciate the support I have been getting. I am happy to finally have my day in court."
U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton explained that any violation of the rule would be "confronted of the full authority of the Court" and that his order is applicable to "the parties, any potential witnesses, and counsel for those parties and witnesses."
Walton was the judge in another recent high-profile perjury case, as he presided over the 2007 trial of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, former chief of staff for Vice President Dick Cheney.
A date has yet to be set for Clemens' first court appearance. The seven-time Cy Young Award winner faces a combined maximum sentence of 30 years in prison and $1.5 million fine if convicted on all of the possible charges.

Scream Portraits by Billy Hunt from Billy Hunt on Vimeo.
There is a new invention for the stressed out or angry individual: the Screamotron 3000. The device is a renovated karaoke boombox that snaps a picture when it hears you scream.
Billy Hunt, a commercial photographer and the inventor of the unusual device says it's a therapeutic way to tap into the amygdala, the part of the brain that processes emotions and memories.
"Some people scream inward and some people scream outward … and some people go to crazy town," Hunt told NPR. "I find it interesting how human emotion plays out."
Screaming is considered therapeutic in some scientific circles. For example, Psychology Today reported on Dr. Arthur Janov's primal therapy that claimed screaming and sobbing can release suppressed hurt from childhood and eliminate mental illness.
Also, humorous inventions have been dedicated to therapeutic screaming, such as ScreamBody, a backpack looking device that "silences the user's screams so they may feel free to vocalize without fear of environmental retaliation," at work or in public areas.
ScreamBody is "designed to be noticed," and "acts to call attention to the social repression addressed" instead of going virtually unnoticed like other devices such as hearing aids. Kelly Dobson, the inventor of the device, does not want to cover the individual's anger but wants people to notice the impact of stress on the individual.
Helium reports that depression is anger turned inwards and that "stress, anger, and anxiety play interchangeable roles in the brain, all affected by the frontal lobe of the brain."
Check out these other interesting anger and stress-reducing practices.

About this blog…
"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z

"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II

Hurricane Sandy ravaged much of the eastern seaboard, leaving some dead, many without shelter, and all of us wondering how such an event could happen. What we realized, though, is that we can no longer ignore how climate change affects public health and the environment.
I grew up in the Borough of Queens, surrounded by most of my family and friends. Now I live in Washington, D.C., but I'll always consider myself a New Yorker, maintaining close ties with home. So when I learned that forecasters expected Hurricane Sandy to sweep through Queens, I feared for my loved ones.
One of my favorite aunts lives in Far Rockaway, a beachfront place with few exit routes and large numbers of low-income residents of color -- a potential recipe for disaster, should a major storm make landfall.
Sure enough, Hurricane Sandy hit, and harder than most New York residents expected. My fears were realized. Far Rockaway was destroyed.
Never Miss a Beat.
Get our best delivered to your inbox.
What has been most troubling about this episode is not the physical damage caused by the storm, but instead, the city's response. Residents of the various housing projects in the neighborhood went days without power. Many still don't have it. Few have heat. Clean-up efforts remain practically non-existent.
In Sandy's wake, Far Rockaway residents are faced with tough choices. Most have limited incomes and cannot readily repair their homes. Many rely on public transportation and now have a difficult time getting to work. Many have stayed in their apartments, waiting for help to come, rather than risk their lives by navigating to the city's overcrowded shelters.
Hurricane Sandy brought the issue of climate change back to the forefront of political discourse, something we cannot ignore any longer. However, when it comes to issues of climate change, we rarely hear about how the phenomenon affects low-income communities, which are disproportionately of color. When events like Hurricane Sandy occur, we focus on weather patterns and rising sea levels, but we ignore the direct impact on people's everyday lives.
Yet climate change has the potential to unravel the fabric of communities most in need. Inaction is simply unacceptable. We must act now to reverse the harmful effects of climate change, and as we do, we must not forget about communities often neglected after events like Hurricane Sandy.

Dieting is the deliberate pursuit of weight loss as a goal in and of itself.
HAES, Health at Every Size, is endeavoring to improve one's health by means other than weight loss, but which may cause incidental, almost always temporary, weight loss. HAES is about working to make your body as healthy as possible, regardless of its size, hence the name.
The behaviors related to both might, in some cases, overlap, but the intent is not the same, and it makes all the difference.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Crystalfox from espuny olive oil delicious! GREAT FOR EVERYTHING NEEDING OLIVE OIL!Date published: 2015-07-21Rated 5 out of 5 by RunninRebel from Wonderful oil! I picked up this oil at my local W&S store a couple of years ago and have been using it since. I've found out the huge difference in a really fine olive oil as opposed to the "store special" oils I used to buy. I love cooking with it, and using it as a base for dressings is where you'll really notice a difference. My pantry is never without it!Date published: 2015-04-03Rated 4 out of 5 by MinionMe from Buttery with a peppery end I love how this oil starts off very buttery and pleasant. It has a very peppery end to it though. Personally, it's a bit too bitter at the end for me when used as a bread dip, but I know some people like that. I am now using it mostly as a finishing oil, salad dressing, and cooking. I even add this to any baking recipes that call for butter or cooking oil. (If you want to substitute olive oil for butter, it is 1 butter to 2/3 olive oil, and then adjust other ingredients for the consistency of the recipe.) For bread dip, I prefer Alziari (also available at WS) for its smoothness throughout.Date published: 2014-01-17

Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated any benefit to using selegiline skin patch in children with depression. Studies have shown that some children, teenagers, and young adults think about suicide or attempt suicide when taking this medicine. Because of this toxicity, use in children is not recommended.
Selegiline skin patch should not be used in children younger than 12 years of age.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of selegiline skin patch in the elderly.
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are taking this medicine, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines is not recommended. Your doctor may decide not to treat you with this medication or change some of the other medicines you take.

Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur.

This medicine comes with a Medication Guide and patient instructions. Read and follow these instructions carefully. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.
To use the skin patch:
Do not stop using this medicine without asking your doctor. If you have not used your medicine for several days in a row, do not start using it again without talking to your doctor first.
The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
If you forget to wear or change a patch, put one on as soon as you can. If it is almost time to put on your next patch, wait until then to apply a new patch and skip the one you missed. Do not apply extra patches to make up for a missed dose.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.
Ask your healthcare professional how you should dispose of any medicine you do not use.
Store the patches at room temperature in a closed container, away from heat, moisture, and direct light.
Do not store this medicine outside of its sealed pouch.
It is very important that your doctor check your or your child's progress at regular visits to make sure this medicine is working properly and to check for unwanted effects.
You should not use this medicine if you or your child are taking carbamazepine (Tegretol®), other medicines to treat depression (eg, clomipramine, duloxetine, fluoxetine, imipramine, paroxetine, sertraline, venlafaxine, Celexa®, Cymbalta®, Effexor®, Lexapro®, Paxil®, Prozac®, Zoloft®), certain pain medicines (eg, meperidine, methadone, pentazocine, propoxyphene, tramadol, Darvon®, Demerol®, Dolophine®, Ultram®), or cough medicines (eg, dextromethorphan, Benylin®). Do not use this medicine if you also take selegiline capsules or tablets.
Selegiline skin patch may cause some people to be agitated, irritable, or display other abnormal behaviors. It may also cause some people to have suicidal thoughts and tendencies or to become more depressed. Make sure the doctor knows if you have trouble sleeping, get upset easily, have a big increase in energy, or start to act reckless. Also tell the doctor if you have sudden or strong feelings, such as feeling nervous, angry, restless, violent, or scared. If you, your child, or your caregiver notice any of these side effects, tell your doctor or your child's doctor right away. Let the doctor know if you or anyone in your family has bipolar disorder (manic-depressive) or has tried to commit suicide.
When selegiline skin patch is used at low doses, there are no restrictions on the food or beverages that you can eat or drink. However, the chance exists that dangerous reactions, such as sudden high blood pressure, may occur if higher doses are used with certain foods or beverages. These foods or beverages include foods that have a high tyramine content (most common in foods that are aged or fermented to increase their flavor), such as cheeses, fava or broad bean pods, yeast or meat extracts, smoked or pickled meat, poultry, or fish, fermented sausage (bologna, pepperoni, salami, summer sausage) or other fermented meat, sauerkraut, any spoiled or improperly stored meat, poultry, fish, or animal livers, or any overripe fruit. These may also include alcoholic beverages or alcohol-free or reduced-alcohol beer and wine. Also, for at least 2 weeks after you stop using this medicine, these foods or beverages may continue to react with selegiline transdermal. If a list of these foods and beverages is not given to you, ask your doctor to provide one.
Selegiline may cause a serious condition called serotonin syndrome when used together with certain MAO inhibitors (eg, phenelzine, rasagiline, tranylcypromine) and medicines to treat depression (eg, amitriptyline, doxepin, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, nortriptyline, paroxetine, sertraline, Elavil®, Luvox®, Pamelor®, Paxil®, Prozac®, Zoloft®). Symptoms of serotonin syndrome include: anxiety, restlessness, fast heartbeat, fever, sweating, muscle spasms, twitching, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or seeing or hearing things that are not there.
Check with your doctor or hospital emergency room immediately if severe headache, stiff neck, chest pains, fast heartbeat, or nausea and vomiting occur while you or your child are using this medicine. These may be symptoms of a serious side effect that should have a doctor's attention.
Do not expose the applied skin patch to direct heat, such as heating pads, electric blankets, heat lamps, sauna, hot tubs, heated water beds, and prolonged direct sunlight.
Before you have any kind of surgery, tell the medical doctor in charge that you or your child are using this medicine. Using selegiline together with medicines that are sometimes used during surgery may increase the effects of these medicines.

Malawi – Country will review laws banning homosexuality, in response to public opinion
The move comes just days after the United States announced it would use foreign aid to press countries to decriminalise homosexual acts. The US gives Malawi about $200-million a year, with most of the money going to healthcare.
Malawi was condemned by President Barack Obama and international activists last year after jailing two men who publicly declared their intention to get married, even though it is banned in the Southern African country.
It will now review provisions of the penal code concerning "indecent practices and unnatural acts", said Minister of Justice Ephraim Chiume.
"In view of the sentiments from the general public and in response to public opinion regarding certain laws, the government wishes to announce to the Malawi nation that it is submitting the relevant laws and provisions of laws to the law commission for review," he told the Africa Review news website.
The decision followed protests by civil society groups and pressure from foreign donors. Last week Obama told US agencies to consider how countries treat their gay and lesbian populations when making decisions about allocating foreign aid. Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, told an audience of diplomats at the United Nations in Geneva: "Gay rights are human rights and human rights are gay rights. Being gay is not a Western invention. It is a human reality."
Last year in Malawi, gay couple Tiwonge Chimbalanga and Steven Monjeza were sentenced to 14 years in prison for sodomy after holding a traditional engagement ceremony.
President Bingu wa Mutharika called homosexuality "evil and very bad before the eyes of God" during their trial. He later pardoned them following a worldwide outcry against the punishment.
Homosexuality is taboo in most parts of Africa. It is illegal in 37 countries and often viewed as going against Christian and Muslim values, although many of the laws were introduced during British colonialism.

Swine Flu Vaccine: Will We Have A Choice?
The summer will be over before we know it and it will be time for the school year to begin. This fall, many parents are wondering what will happen to their children when they enter the schools. Some public health doctors want to turn schools into vaccination clinics where children will be the first to be injected with experimental swine flu vaccines.
Less Than 50,000 Swine Flu Cases Worldwide
Every day we are being warned by doctors at the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control to worry a lot about the H1N1 influenza A virus, which was first identified in Mexico in April 2009 and is being called the new swine flu. As of June 15, 2009, the World Health Organization states that 76 countries have reported more than 35,000 cases, including 163 deaths. 108 of those deaths have occurred in Mexico.
We are being told that nearly 18,000 Americans have gotten sick from the new swine flu virus, with about 5 percent being hospitalized and 45 dying. It looks like people, who are in poor health to begin with are at greater risk of having complications and dying from the new swine flu, which has symptoms just like regular influenza. This is not surprising because people in poor health are always at greater risk of having complications and dying from infectious disease.
Most Flu-Like Illness Not True Influenza
What a lot of people don't know is that true type A or type B influenza only causes about 20 percent of all flu-like symptoms that people experience during any given flu season. 80 percent of all flu-like illness in a normal flu season is NOT caused by the type A and B strains of influenza contained in annual flu shots. And vaccine acquired immunity is temporary, while immunity gained after recovering from influenza is longer lasting.
1968 Flu Pandemic Killed 34,000 Americans
The new type A H1N1 influenza virus public health doctors say is making people sick around the world is an unusual combination of human, bird and pig viruses9. Nobody seems to know exactly how this new virus was created and why it suddenly emerged from Mexico in mid-April - or if it will behave like past pandemic influenza viruses that caused 68,000 American deaths in 1957 and killed 34,000 Americans in 196810. (The CDC states that 36,000 Americans die from influenza complications annually, with most of those deaths occurring in the elderly and those in poor health). Influenza pandemics usually start with mild symptoms and progress to more severe symptoms before populations acquire immunity to the virus and it dies out.
Older Americans May Have Antibodies Against Swine Flu
The good news about the new swine flu going around is that there are signs those of us born before 1957, may be naturally protected and at LOWER risk of being infected. Why? Because we recovered from influenza caused by similar influenza strains that circulated in past decades and have long lasting antibodies that help us resist infection. So the aging baby boomers have something to be happy about.
Vaccinated Children Don't Have Natural Antibodies
But will health officials allow our children and grandchildren to get those same kind of natural protective antibodies to type A and B influenza, including this new swine flu? It doesn't look like it. First, doctors in America have been insisting for the past few years that every child from six months old to age 18 must get an annual flu shot. Second, there are now calls by U.S. health officials to give American children the first doses of experimental swine flu vaccines in the school setting.
WHO Declares Phase 6 Alert; Public Health Doctors Exercise EUA
This is because the response by doctors at the World Health Organization, who immediately went into high gear within days of identifying the new swine flu virus emerging out of Mexico, was to declare a public health emergency. Now, they have increased the pandemic flu fear alert to Phase 6, which is the equivalent of the U.S. Homeland Security's Code Red warning of an imminent terrorist attack. Doctors at the Centers for Disease Control, who followed the lead of the World Health Organization, have done the same and are exercising unprecedented power that Congress handed over to them after 9-11.
Fast Tracking of Experimental Vaccines With Novel Adjuvants
Whenever the CDC declares a public health emergency, that declaration allows the Food and Drug Administration to permit emergency use authorization for drug companies to fast track creation of experimental drugs and vaccines that do not have to be tested as thoroughly as vaccines that go through the normal FDA licensing process. In this case, Congress responded to the public health emergency declaration by giving a group of drug companies one billion dollarsto fast track experimental swine flu vaccines that may include whole live19, killed or genetically engineered human and animal influenza viruses, chemicals, and potentially reactive oil based adjuvants that manipulate the immune system to boost the vaccine's potency.
States Enact Stronger Quarantine & No Free Assembly Laws
In some states, like Massachusetts, public health doctors have persuaded legislators to quickly pass pandemic influenza legislation that will allow state officials to enter the homes and businesses without the approval of occupants; to investigate and quarantine individuals without their consent; to require licensed health care providers to give citizens vaccines and to ban the free assembly of citizens in the state.
What Can You Do?
What does this declaration of a public health emergency in the U.S. mean for you and your family? It means that, right now, you need to become educated about vaccination, influenza, vaccine risks, and the public health laws in your state. You need to find out what your rights and options are under new public health laws that may require you and your children to get vaccinated or be quarantined.
Take Action Now
Go to www.NVIC.org and learn more. Register now to attend the Fourth International Public Conference on Vaccination Oct. 2-4, 2009 in Washington, D.C. and help organize in your state to protect your right to informed consent to vaccination. Call and write the state legislators you elected to make public health laws that govern you and your family. Make your voice heard.
Homeland Security, Department of Defense & CDC
As Department of Homeland Security officials are declaring that any disease outbreak is a matter of homeland security as Department of Defense officials are defining public demonstrations as "low level terrorism;" as CDC officials make plans to re-route airplanes to designated airports with quarantine centers to screen all passengers for signs of swine flu; and as fast tracked experimental pandemic flu vaccines are being created to be given to American children first, it is time for all of us – whether we are public health officials addressing what we believe is a true public health emergency or whether we are ordinary citizens simply trying to protect our health and the health of our children - to act in rational and responsible ways.
Protect Health Choices
Every pharmaceutical drug, including vaccines, carries a risk and those risks are greater for some than others. In this time of fear, we cannot let that fear take away our freedom to make voluntary health choices, including vaccine choices, so we have the power to make sure that the cure is not more dangerous than the disease.

Please, AMERICA, we must get educated. We must NOT allow vaccinations to continue! They keep coming up with new ones, basically without testing them (as if that will make them good for something besides more illness). We must get educated and fight back against government control of what goes into our bodies. They are up to no good again. Big-Pharma and Big-Government. You guessed it, Melting

Dear Barbara,
I am compelled to emphasize that we all consider natural immunization. It seems that many are not aware of natural immunization, and we all should be.
NASA technology being used on the ISS in space should be put to use here on earth. UPCOSH is a new category of the most advanced natural immunization technology and has been utilized in Bionaid.
Vaccine proponents have failed, for almost a year, to meet the $1 million challenge regarding Bionaid and ZeoHeal that begs the question - if medical immunization is more safe and effective than natural immunization, why not take the challenge and prove it? They have continued to fail in responding to the challenge, naturally.
The government of Ghana, where people greatly appreciate this health breakthrough from a perspective of a nation that is suffering from fatal illnesses and vaccine side-effects have made Bionaid the #1 health supplement after seeing safe and effective results with natural immunization.
Many may see this as a promotional advertisement because a product is being mentioned, and will set aside the life-saving, alternative to vaccines and drugs and indirectly support vaccine proponents by missing the point and focusing on a non-issue.
To settle their concerns on this let me offer the fact that thousands of dollars in UPCOSH have been donated. In America, its about national security and freedom of choice, and being well-informed here, not the money.
More good news! ZeoHeal removes vaccine residues that cause serious side-effects. It removes alot of trash from the body that allows for even more natural immunity.

Vaccine Created Illnesses
- Anonymous said...
A swine influenza virus (SIV) is any strain of the influenza family of viruses that is usually hosted by (is endemic in) pigs.[2] As of 2009, the known SIV strains are the influenza C virus and the subtypes of the influenza A virus known as H1N1, H1N2, H3N1, H3N2, and H2N3. Swine flu is common throughout pig populations worldwide.
Transmission of swine influenza virus from pigs to humans is not common and does not always cause human influenza, often only resulting in the production of antibodies in the blood. The meat of the animal poses no risk of transmitting the virus when properly cooked. If transmission does cause human influenza, it is called zoonotic swine flu. People who work with pigs, especially people with intense exposures, are at increased risk of catching swine flu. In the mid-20th century, identification of influenza subtypes became possible, which allows accurate diagnosis of transmission to humans. Since then, fifty confirmed transmissions have been recorded. Rarely, these strains of swine flu can pass from human to human. In humans, the symptoms of swine flu are similar to those of influenza and of influenza-like illness in general, namely chills, fever, sore throat, muscle pains, severe headache, coughing, weakness and general discomfort. Pigs can also become infected with human influenza, and this appears to have happened during the 1918 flu pandemic.[3]
The 2009 swine flu outbreak in humans is due to a new strain of influenza A virus subtype H1N1 that contains genes closely related to swine influenza.[4] The origin of this new strain is unknown. However, the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) reports that this strain has not been isolated in pigs.[5] This strain can be transmitted from human to human,[6] and causes the normal symptoms of influenza

I read "Daily News" ( NYC )today.
-Kids 1st in Oct swine flu vaccine push -
"A new Swine flu vaccine will be availavle in October, and millions of schoolkids will be first in line, federal officials announced yesterday.
The HHS is giving states $ 350 million to prepare for the distribution of a new vaccine for the H1N1 virus.
"We want to make sure we are not promoting panic, but we are promoting vigilance and preparation," President Obama told more than 500 state and local health officials gatherws for a flu summit in Washington. The president phoned in his remarks from the G-8 summit in Italy.
No decision has been made about which vaccine would be available, but health officials said they were bracing for a rush of patients- many of them young children, who are particularly vulnerable to this new strain of flu.
"We will be seeking partnerships with schools, potentially, and other vaccination sites," said HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
At least 1 million people have been infected with swine flu in the UnitedStates. Though most cases have been mild, 170 people have died.
In New York, officials said 47 people have been killed by the virus, nine more than previously known.
A strain of swine flu resistant to the antiviral drug Tamiflu has been detected in three regions around the world, raising concerns the strain is developing immunity to the medication.
It is estimated 2 billion people could eventually be infected.

First of all, the 'claim' 1 million have come down with swine flu is NOT accurate. YES, EVEN THOUGH THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA KEEPS SAYING SUCH, DOES NOT MAKE IT SO. The flu strain that has hit the U.S. is NOT swine flu. Hospitals have NOT been testing flu patients for 'swine flu'.
This FACT, a.) puts the entire mass vaccine issue under 'extreme' scrutiny.
Before a flu vaccine has any chance of working it must be calculated a head of time the RECOMBINATION (this 'HYBRID' virus combining with seasonal flu creating a new virus) factor.
Most virologists agree that this current virus HAS NOT BEEN PROPERLY IDENTIFIED and therefor a proper vaccine CAN IN NO WAY BE READY by fall.
With the fact that this current 'HYBRID' flu virus has been MISLABELED automatically makes the 'so-called' swine flu shots scheduled this fall a MASS EXPERIMENT at best, and therefor falls under the Nuremberg Code.
Last, but certainly NOT least:
The World Health Organization / CDC, pharmaceutical companies Baxter and NOVAX are all in litigation over this hybrid flu / mass vaccine nonsense and more lawsuits are being filed. The same media that's hyping the SO CALLED swine flu is of course MUM. Maybe they don't have time to cover it because they need the time to run drug ads instead?
Instead of being a 'good sheep' YOU can and SHOULD file a suit locally.
Read WHY YOU SHOULD FILE at...
& for documents...
... and stop this madness before a lot of people UNNECESSARILY die and the pharmaceutical / big government chalks their stupidity up to a pandemic.

After some researching over the Internet, I discoreved a woman named ane Burgermeister http://birdflu666.wordpress.com/
I would like to know if that woman is "real" and if you have heard of what she has been doing lately, such as filing criminal charges against WHO, UN and Baxter.

Gloria Gemma Foundation Teams Up With P-Bruins For 'Pink In The Rink' Friday
RISBJ Staff | Oct 25, 2012
PAWTUCKET, RI – (October 25, 2012) This Friday night, October 26 at the Dunkin' Donuts Center, the Providence Bruins will skate against the Springfield Falcons in the 3rd Annual "Pink In The Rink" night to benefit the Pawtucket-based Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Resource Foundation.
"We applaud the Providence Bruins for helping us in our mission to support local women and families all year long," said Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Resource Foundation Executive Director Maria Gemma. "October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and we want Rhode Islanders to know that their contributions to our organization go to local programs and services we provide throughout greater Rhode Island."
"People make an effort to buy local meat, produce, and even arts and crafts," reasoned Gemma. "With 'Pink In The Rink,' the Foundation and the Providence Bruins are encouraging Rhode Islanders to give locally with this fun family event."
With the unfortunate delay in the 2012 National Hockey League season, and doubts as to whether players and owners will reach an agreement at all this year, the Providence Bruins are eager to put on a show this year and especially Friday night, according to #21, Bobby Robins.
"It's always great to give back to the community and support an honorable Foundation like Gloria Gemma," said Robins, who plays center. "All the guys get really fired up because it's obviously a good cause."
At "Pink In The Rink," Robins and his teammates trade their usual black and gold jerseys for pink and white in a supportive nod to patients and survivors in attendance and all over the state
"Everybody's wearing pink and there's a lot of energy in the building," said Robins. "It's always a very exciting night."
Several 2013 "Celebrate Hope, Celebrate Life" Calendar survivor models will be at the game distributing calendars. The theme of the 2013 calendar is "Breast cancer is not just your grandmother's disease" and each survivor model received a breast cancer diagnosis before the age of 40.
Newport's "Four Horsemen" will be on hand to present a check to the Foundation, the result of a unique beard growing challenge among the friends. In 2011, the group donated $2,000 to the Foundation and, this year, they doubled their hairy haul raising over $4,000.
The puck drops at 7:05 p.m. All 100 level tickets are $22 and all 200 level tickets are $17 with $5 of each ticket sold going to the Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Resource Foundation. All fans in attendance will receive a pink rally towel courtesy of Graftek Systems, Susan T. Perkins, WEEI 103.7FM Providence, and NBC 10. For more information or to purchase tickets, please visithttp://www.providencebruins.com/Tickets/employee or call 401-273-5004
About the Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Resource Foundation
The Gloria Gemma Foundation was established in 2004 in loving memory of Gloria J. Gemma and to honor her courageous fight against breast cancer. The organization's mission is to raise breast cancer awareness; increase breast health education; enhance the quality of life for breast cancer patients, as well as their families and friends; and generate funding for local breast health programs.For more information, please call 401-861-HERO (4376) or visit www.gloriagemma.org.

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler and Aging Partners Director June Pederson announced today that the City will not consolidate the Lake Street, Maxey and Belmont senior centers into the Downtown and Northeast facilities. The merger had been proposed as a way to enhance services and create more efficient programs.
Mayor Beutler said the decision was made after those who use the three centers shared their concerns about downtown traffic and parking and the loss of independence that comes from using group transportation. He said other expressed concern that those with hearing loss, dementia and other conditions may have difficulty in large group setting.
"Most of all, they have emphasized that any decisions that impact their future should be the result of a partnership between them and Aging Partners in which their needs and wants help shape the outcome," Mayor Beutler said. "We have listened. We agree that change should come about as a result of a shared commitment and vision of the future."
At a news conference at the Lake Street center, the Mayor thanked those who spoke up, and challenged them to work with the Pederson and Aging Partners on the future of the City's senior centers. "We must explore every avenue that offers potential savings, improves service or brings more seniors to the center," he said.
Pederson said hearing the preferences of those using the centers has been "a valuable and productive experience," and she wants to hear from seniors across the community. She and her staff are developing a method to survey current and future seniors.
"We need to know the relative value to seniors of our health care services, life planning programs, social activities and meals," Pederson said. "We need to hear about the impact of location on attendance. We need to work with the requirements of the state and federal government for these programs. And we need to engage the next generation of seniors so we can prepare now for their needs."
Pederson said the discussion also has helped strengthen her agency's relationship with the organizations housing the three programs, and that could lead to greater flexibility in providing services. The centers are housed at St. James United Methodist Church (Lake Street), the Malone Community Center (Maxey) and the Belmont Recreation Center (Belmont).
Aging Partners provides services that help keep people in their homes as they age. The agency serves eight counties including Lancaster County. For more information on Aging Partners visit aging.lincoln.ne.gov.

The Teleprompter President
By Jack Ward
March 16, 2009
There is no question that President Obama is an accomplished orator. As a candidate for president he inspired millions, thrilled young ladies and even sent chills up the legs of seasoned pundits. He was even compared to past great orators like Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton. But are his oratory skills overblown?
Ever year Hollywood gives Oscars to the most accomplished actors. These actors pretend to be someone else. A mild mannered actor may play the part of a vicious killer. The actors read a script and their actions are controlled by a director. The script may be the product of several writers and the director wants the actor to recite the script accurately to portray the character. No serious person equates the actor to the character.
Lincoln was noted for the famous Lincoln - Douglas debates. These debates would last for hours and Lincoln didn't have the benefit of speech writers. Debaters back then depended upon their knowledge of the subject.
More than a hundred years after the Lincoln - Douglas debates technology provided the speech giver a valuable aid. The modern teleprompter came into use in the 1980's. The teleprompter is the mostly transparent glass panels that you see on the left and right of lectern. The text of the speech is projected on the panels so the speech giver can read the text while it appears that they are looking at the audience.
I don't recall if Ronald Reagan used a teleprompter or not. Since the technology was available I would expect that he did use it on some occasions. But Reagan was giving speeches in the early 1960's without a teleprompter, making radio commentary, and was writing most of his material before he ran for president. When he became president he did utilize speech writers but he was deeply involved in the final product.
Bill Clinton did use a teleprompter but he was quite comfortable without one. In one prepared speech the teleprompter malfunctioned. After a brief pause Clinton continued without it and returned to the prepare text when the malfunction was corrected. So it was apparent that Clinton was well informed on the any of the topics he addressed.
President Obama hasn't demonstrated any of these skills. Obama has difficulty speaking extemporaneously and appears totally dependent on the teleprompter. Without the teleprompter he appears to be less confident and at a loss for words. Even when he was making a very simple six minute introduction of his Health and Human Services nominee he needed a teleprompter. A primary complaint is that he doesn't make eye contact with the camera, he reads from the left teleprompter, then the right, throughout the entire speech. He is constantly reading and never makes eye contact with the American people.
Throughout the country there are hundreds of radio talk show hosts. Each host talks live on the air for a couple of hours on a variety of topics without a script or teleprompter. None of these hosts have been identified as having superior intellect, but during the presidential campaign we were repeatedly told that Obama had superior intellect. The public has never been privy to Obama's academic transcripts or read anything he wrote as editor of the Harvard Law Review. Also there has been considerable debate if Obama really wrote his two books or they were ghost written for him.
Obama has done little to dispel these questions. His dependence on a teleprompter and his poor performance when speaking without one makes you wonder if he is just reading a script like an academy award winning actor. So the question remains, is he as advertised or is he just reading a script? And if he is just reading the script, who is behind the curtain directing the performance?

ORONO, Maine – UMBC softball's sophomore Danielle O'Neill (Lothian, Md./Southern) reached base on six of her seven plate appearances, recording three hits and three walks, to help the Retrievers win their first series of their America East schedule. UMBC fell to Maine in game one on Saturday afternoon, 8-0, but captured the 7-6 victory in the series finale at Mike Kessock Field.
The Retrievers improve to 24-16 overall and 2-6 in league play after the split, while Maine moves to 14-13 on the season and 6-5 in the AEC.
The Retrievers took advantage of early pitching troubles in game two, with Maine starter Hannah Hill walking the first three batters of the contest. Freshman Kelly Lane (Albany, N.Y./Colonie Central) capitalized with a two-run double to right center field to put UMBC out in front, 2-0. Classmate Kaelin Jackson (Export, Pa./Franklin Regional) singled to second to drive in one, while senior Caitlin Chance (Easton, Md./Easton) scored another on a bunt. Junior Katlin Olesky (Irvine, Calif./Northwood/Saddleback College) singled through the left side to score Jackson and give the Retrievers a 5-0 advantage.
A walk and a single in the bottom half of the first put two aboard for junior Jessica Burk, who cleared the bases with a three-run shot to left field to bring Maine back within two, 5-3.
Olesky picked up her second hit of the contest on a double to right center in the top of the fourth inning. O'Neill continued her hot bat, drilling her fourth home run in the last six games on a two-run blast to left field to further add to UMBC's advantage, 7-3.
Maine chipped away at its deficit, scoring one in the fourth and adding two in the fifth, forcing the departure of Lane after six runs on six hits in the circle. A single and a walk against Holte loaded the bases for Maine, but the rookie escaped the jam without any further damage, sending the Retrievers into the sixth with the slight, 7-6 lead.
Holte retired three straight batters in the bottom of the seventh to pick up her second save of the season. Lane earned the victory for the Retrievers to improve to 6-6 on the year. Hill was credited with the loss. Senior Kylie Sparks threw 3.1 innings of work for the Black Bears, allowing four runs on six hits, while junior Alexis Bogdanovich threw 3.2 scoreless innings.
Maine jumped out to the early lead in the bottom of the first inning of game one, scoring four runs on five hits in the frame. Freshman Samantha Ralphs drove in two runs in the fourth on a double and came around to score the third run of the inning on an infield error from the Retrievers, extending the lead to 7-0.
Burk led off the bottom of the sixth with a double down the left field line and ended the contest in the frame when she scored on a sacrifice fly from freshman Shelby Obert.
Holte tossed 3.2 innings in the loss, surrendering five earned runs on nine hits. Bogdanovich tossed the six-inning shutout, holding the Retrievers to three hits and striking out seven. O'Neill finished with two of UMBC's three hits in the game.
The Retrievers continue America East action with a three-game series against league-newcomer UMass Lowell, starting on Friday, April 18 at the UMBC Softball Stadium.

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and count down the days until the "Mad Men" season premiere. Only two days to go! Everyone, get out your Lucky Strikes and start smoking NOW to get the ambience in your living room ready! LET'S GO!
MAD MEN – 10:00PM Sunday (AMC) When we last left Don Draper, he was finalizing a divorce and starting a new ad agency by hijacking his old one. Now he's alone and free to swing as he pleases. Something tells me he won't be as happy about this development as you would think he'd be. I'd also like to know if Pete Campbell's wife actually knows that Pete had sex with the nanny next door. I think she did when Pete gave her that guilty look last year, but then she pretty much just carried on as if nothing had happened. She knew he did it, right? God, people back then were so weird. How can you hold it in like that? What that? With booze? Ah. ANTICIPATION: OFF THE CHARTS!
RUBICON – 10:55PM Sunday (AMC) AMC sneakily put a sneak preview of this show after the "Breaking Bad" finale, and now they're putting the sneak preview on AGAIN after the "Mad Men" premiere. You can also watch it online. It's genius, really. Show the premiere a million times wherever you can, and then PROFIT. Anyway, this show promises political intrigue. Plus, the title makes it sound like a puzzle. Or a French nightclub. Not sure which. ANTICIPATION: SCHEMEY!
MY BOYS – 10:00PM Sunday (TBS) If "Mad Men" isn't your thing, get bent. Or, as an alternative to getting bent, watch this TBS season premiere. Hey, it's got Jim Gaffigan. Can't go wrong with Jim Gaffigan. ANTICIPATION: BACON JOKES!
MAN WOMAN WILD – 9:00PM tonight (Discovery Channel) Not to be confused with "Man vs. Wild," this Discovery Channel show takes the outdoor survival formula and throws in the twist of having a WOMAN around. A woman? In nature? That's crazy. They'll tempt you with apples and witchcraft! The moon told me so! ANTICIPATION: THEY ATTRACT BEARS!
WHALE WARS – 9:00PM tonight (Animal Planet) Tonight, the poacher foilers have trouble when their boat, the Bob Barker, springs a leak. You don't want to be near a leaking Bob Barker. Never fun. ANTICIPATION: SEEPAGE!

Identifying a gap in the market has been the key to many successful open source projects. In the case of the participants in Project Hexapod, a group of robotics enthusiasts based at the Artisan Asylum makerspace in Massachusetts, they identified a clear lack of six-legged, rideable robots.
Members of Project Hexapod, which comprises three instructors, one teaching assistant, and 15 students, have launched a crowdfunding Kickstarter project to raise $65,000 to build 'Stompy': A arachnid-esque, six-legged, 1800kg hydraulic robot.
Stompy will be 18 feet wide and will seat two people and have a ground clearance of six feet. Best of all, Project Hexapod will be "releasing our plans, our CAD, our diagrams, the presentations from all the lectures we gave in class, our lists of materials and parts" under an open source licence.
The Kickstarter fund drive launched on 3 August and ends on 2 September, with the project having raised over $45,600 of its $65,000 goal. If the Kickstarter effort manages to raise $125,000 within the deadline, the plan is to add "flame effects" to the robot, which is an obvious omission in the original spec.
Although the idea might seem slightly mad scientist-esque, according to Project Hexapod a Stompy-style robot could have practical applications in the wake of natural disasters because of its ability to navigate rubble-strewn areas. In addition, the construction techniques used to construct Stompy will be "an order or magnitude or two" cheaper than current techniques "and will make giant robots affordable to small groups of enthusiasts everywhere".
So far Project Hexapod has successfully created low cost computer controlled hydraulic joint designs and built a half-scale prototype leg and created an engine and power unit for Stompy. A design for the robot's chassis is almost complete and parts for a full-scale prototype leg have been ordered.

West Hartford, Conn. – The UMBC men's lacrosse team fell at Hartford, 14-11, in the America East Championship semifinal contest at Al-Marzook Field.
UMBC (6-7) junior attackman Rob Grimm (Black River, N.Y) led the Retrievers, scoring a career-high four goals. Linemate sophomore attackman Joe Lustgarten (Wading River, N.Y.) also posted career bests, with three goals and a helper.
UMBC jumped out to a 4-1 lead at the 5:27 mark of the first quarter. But Hartford (10-6) would respond with a 6-0 run a 10-minute span bridging the first and second quarters and grabbed a 7-4 advantage with 8:03 to play in the first half.
The Retrievers replied as Grimm scored his second and third goals of the game at the 6:33 and 4:16 marks of the second quarter and UMBC went into halftime trailing by only 7-6.
The two squads exchanged goals to open the third quarter and UMBC had a chance to tie with a 1:00 man-up situation at the 6:37 mark of the period. But the Retrievers could not connect and the Hawks scored three times in a span of 2:47 bridging the third and fourth quarters an led, 11-7, 19 seconds into the fourth quarter.
UMBC could not cut the deficit inside of three goals the rest of the way.
Retriever sophomore attackman Scott Jones (Port Coquitlam, B.C.) scored a goal and added two assists, while sophomore long-stick midfielder Ethan Murphy (West Seneca, N.Y.) posted a goal and added a helper.
Hartford outshot UMBC, 38-36, and won 19 of 29 draws. The Retrievers scored only once on five extra-man opportunities.
Hartford's Ryan Compitello, Jared Franze, and Carter Bender scored three goals apiece. The Hawks advance to face host Stony Brook in the title game on Sunday.
