When I was a boy, almost everyone was agreed on what precipitated World War II. Yes, Adolf Hitler was a bad man, but the flaccidity of the Western democracies in appeasing his aggressive appetites was equally responsible for encouraging him to ravage Europe.
Back in the 1940s, Americans could not forget the foolishness of Neville Chamberlain. When the Fuehrer demanded that the Sudetenland be ceded from Czechoslovakia to Germany, Chamberlain had travelled to Munich and signed a treaty giving Adolf what he asked.
Who then did not recall the wild cheers with which the British Prime Minister was greeted when he deplaned back home waving a piece of paper and declaring that he had saved "peace in our time?" Nor were recently demobilized American soldiers likely to overlook the bloody battles from which they barely escaped with their lives.
Today, however, those memories are no longer fresh. Likewise, appeasement is no longer a policy we fear. We do not remember that Winston Churchill was widely reviled for warning that Hitler was a danger. To the contrary, most people then believed Hitler when he declared that he did not want war.
Most people also believed the Fuehrer when he asserted that he would make no more territorial demands if given the German speaking part of Czechoslovakia. After all, he was only seeking to protect his fellow Germans from the rapacious tyranny of the Czechs.
Hitler had to mean what he said, because no one really wanted war. Surely the German people did not want it. This was madness and no one could be that mad. It therefore made sense to be nice to Hitler. If only the West refrained from being unreasonable, he would cease being belligerent.
Does any of this sound familiar? Aren't we seeing a replay of these attitudes with respect to radical Islam? Haven't our leaders, most notably Barack Obama, been telling us that we must play nice with the Muslim world? Aren't we counseled that they are basically decent people who like ourselves only want peace and hence will respond favorably if we cease being aggressive?
Hitler said that he wanted to exterminate the Jewish people, but that had to be rhetoric. The Iranians say they want to wipe Israel off the face of the earth, but that is mere bluster. Or is it? Is it possible that some extremists are really extremists who are prepared to do what we never would?
If we say that it is just a few leaders who are over-zealous in their language, what of those thousands in the Arab street who are chanting "Death to America?" What of the tens, if not hundreds, of millions who regard Israel as the "Little Satan" and us as the "Great Satan?" Are they kidding when they say they want to impose Sharia law on us?
Barack Obama thought that if he apologized to these people, as he did in Cairo, they would change their ways and decide to construct a Western-style democracy. Did he really believe this? Does he believe now — with violent eruptions all over the Muslim world — that this is a minor, and temporary, glitch?
Do Obama, and the reporters who castigated Mitt Romney, think that an inept video that defames the prophet Mohammed is the sole cause of this uproar or that apologizing for it will fix what is broken? Do they seriously imagine that sacrificing our dedication to free speech will open Arab eyes to our good intentions?
This is appeasement! Churchill warned that those who abandon their principles for the sake of peace, in the end have neither peace nor principles. Romney said as much — albeit not as stirringly. If we embrace weakness for the sake of not offending our enemies, they will not be grateful — and we will not be safe.
Appeasement sounds sensible when the bombs are exploding thousands of miles away. It won't seem quite as sensible if they start exploding here.

For Immediate Release:
July 27, 2009
For Information:
Pam Ronan, 609-292-3703
"This collaboration will help to address the complex needs of individuals with developmental disabilities and their families early on," said Commissioner Velez. "Long before a person may need DDD case management; they may need information about resources that are not provided by DDD and that DDS' Information and Referral Specialists can help them to navigate."
Younger individuals account for approximately 45 percent of DDD's entire caseload of 41,000 people. Many younger DDD-eligible individuals do not yet need specialized case-management services related to their developmental disabilities. When they do require specialized case-management services, DDS will refer them back to DDD. This collaboration will also reduce the caseloads of DDD case mangers, whose efforts must focus on cases with the most intense needs.
"Our goal is to make our system as helpful as possible for individuals and their families, who are often overwhelmed when they try to access what they need," said DHS Assistant Commissioner Kenneth Ritchey, who oversees DDD. "By working with DDS, we will be able to get people the help they need to ease the day-to-day pressures that can arise for families caring for loved ones with developmental disabilities."
DDS is designated as New Jersey's single point of entry for all people who are seeking disability-related information. "Our Information and Referral Specialists have logged more than 100,000 calls since DDS began in 1998 and many of these calls have been from individuals with developmental disabilities," said DDS Director William A. B. Ditto. "We are very familiar with the needs of people with developmental disabilities and we will be carefully phasing this in to make this as positive a transition as possible for DDD-eligible individuals and their families."

Good Job!!! I am a bit worried about your faces and the other securitys ID's. Maybe move to the Bomb Shelter or someone do a blur on the photos.
On a lighter note you know those "Why I was absent from school" notes.(I guess they still use em), what do you think their teachers/principal are going to think about this?
What a family!!!!!!!
Bump for everyone that never go past the first page.
Thank you Shane and sons..Your compassion and bravery are unsurpassed!!
Thanks for posting this Shane!
Excellent job!
Being a Christian at this point in time is like a fish being out of water. Our home ain't here.
My personal blog which has photography and musings. If you are bored check it out.
Cool, I love a happy ending.
Also, it was a priceless field run for our sons....
One they will always remember.
Bubba, Some how I think he's got the covered.
Good job MEN. Weren't no "boys" there!
Shane, as a citizen of New Orleans, I thank you and your sons for the bravery you displayed and for the humanitarian services you provided for those still trapped in our desolate city! You three men have my great admiration.
I'm very grateful, too, that you shared your story with us. I'm a resident of Algiers. It is the west bank side of New Orleans...we are New Orleans but Algiers is a nickname of sorts. According to the few reports I've been able to get, we are some of the lucky ones...the west bank didn't flood in most areas.
I'm wondering if you were taken to Our Lady Of Holy Cross College? It's on Woodland Highway and my home is just about 3/4 of a mile from there. I had heard that our area was a staging area for the police, firemen and other emergency workers.
I understand that our area received a lot of wind damage, but our biggest threat now is from the looters and arsonists. Nola.com had an article about a home 2 blocks from me being ransacked. I understand the people's needs to find food and water...I would do it , too, in a life-death situation. But the insane arson going on makes no sense...those involved in such acts are only making it harder for us to get back to a normal society.
God bless you and you and your sons, Shane!
Dang Shane & Sons You did US ALL Proud!!
It is nice to know there are still folks who care!!!
Thank you for your service!!!! Thanks for the post!
Anything I might add here...has allready been said...and truth be told...better then I could say it...
I think that those "boys" came back very thoughtful men...
Well Done!
Awesome story!
Your boys are not only brave, but my daughter just walked by and deemed them "hotties" as well!
Thanks for sharing your experience with us Shane. Your two boys learned far more on that trip than they would have in school for those few days! Thanks for all that you do.
One more bump for anyone who was gone this weekend.
Thanks for the bump Gayla, I missed it - gone for the weekend, as you may have thought!
Wow Shane, glad to hear everyone is OK. I'll bet the boys never forget this experience. Though it seemed as if they were playing hookey from school, this is one HISTORY LESSON they'll never forget!
tsk, tsk...
I just had to add that I was also impressed! My oldest boys are that same age and they were impressed too. Well, I haven't shown the oldest yet because he's in Maine bear hunting- called me tonight to tell me he got a big one!
It is so surreal to see you all on the streets of the US with weapons. I told my dad about this post over a BBQ tonight and he wants me to send him the link.

Thank you everyone for your supportive comments, both my sons have really enjoyed seeing and reading them all here and are 'walking tall'!
Had to write this morning their excuse for missing two days of school last week, so I penned the following...
To Whom It May Concern:
Please excuse Eric & Logan Connor for their absence from school this past Thursday and Friday, the 1st and 2nd of September.
They both were needed to assist me, their father, in responding to an emergency rush request for a truckload of food, water and medicine to be delivered ASAP to stranded hotel occupants on Canal Street in New Orleans.
There was no time to find or hire any reliable and trusted truck packers or back-up drivers for the all night drive.
With little sleep and under great stress for three days they made it possible for these essential supplies to arrive in a timely fashion.
If any questions, please contact me.
Best Regards,
Shane Connor
(830) 672-8734
BTW, after selling out our MRE inventory last week we were fortunate enough to find and secure another 13 truckloads (65,000 MRE Tray Packs) which are all now in the process of being transferred to FEMA and MEMA and heading to MS, and we had a little left over so that we are now partially re-stocked with MRE inventory here, too.
When we catch our breath here we'll work on getting some of the daylight and nightvision video camera tape converted over to web accessible format. Appreciate offers to do it for us, but I need to do some editing first before it's released. Will announce here when up & ready.
Again, thank you everyone for your kind words, it's been very much appreciated.

Report: Katrina evacuees put in luxury hotels
The Federal Emergency Management Agency failed to set cost controls on hotel room rentals for Hurricane Katrina evacuees, an omission that led to "excessive" bills, a report says.
The agency was still paying up to $364 a night for some rooms on Dec. 7, more than three months after Katrina hit, says the report this week by the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General.
The payments covered stays at the Hilton San Diego Gaslamp Quarter, a hotel that advertises an outdoor heated pool, and the InterContinental New Orleans, a luxury hotel that recovered and reopened after Katrina, the report shows.
The inspector general is examining whether unidentified hotels in Ontario, Calif.; Niles, Ill.; and Orlando, Fla., boosted normal rates for Katrina evacuees, the report adds.
The findings expand on the inspector general's disclosure last month that the emergency agency paid up to $438 a night to house Katrina evacuees in luxury hotels in New York City, Chicago, and Panama City, Fla.
The accommodations were among at least 773 rooms for which the emergency agency paid more than $147,935, or an average of $191 a night, the report says.
That represents a fraction of the estimated $560 million the agency spent on tens of thousands of rooms.
The agency rented the rooms through a contract with Corporate Lodging Consultants, which was required to "endeavor to ensure reasonable lodging rates."
The contract included a $60-a-night estimate per room.
But the deal "did not contain any incentives for the contractor to achieve these estimated costs or penalties for failing to achieve the estimated costs," the oversight report says.
Danielle Brian, executive director of the watchdog group Project on Government Oversight, concedes that the agency faced an unprecedented evacuation of a major city with no prospect of immediate return.
Still, he says, the agency acted "without common sense."
"There should be adequate carrots and sticks to make sure the government is paying Econo Lodge prices rather than Paris Hilton prices," says Keith Ashdown of Taxpayers for Common Sense, another watchdog group.
Agency spokeswoman Nicol Andrews says the costly rooms were in some cases the only option but were "the exception, not the rule."
"In a situation where hours can make a difference, FEMA cut through red tape to ensure everyone had a place to stay," she says.
Andrews adds that the average nightly price of hotel rooms was $60 during the recently ended program.
The report urges the agency to modify the contract to add cost incentives and penalties for rentals, and to review the hotel-selection process to prevent excessive costs.

I sure get tired of La Raza being referred to as a Hispanic civil rights advocacy group.
Thats kinda like calling the KKK a Christian outreach organization.
Corporate Lodging Consultants gets a very small percentage AND a fee for each motel room they bill. They negotiate a price for the room with the motel/hotel and their fee is added on to the price that is billed to the customer.
There would be no incentive for them to reduce the price of the room, as that would decrease their fee.
I do business with CLC, and while they are a necessary evil for the motel industry, they are shark-like in their pursuit of profit.
Hey! Thanks for ressurecting this thread! First time I've seen it! (I was probably still in generator light and no internet when this was posted.)

Blackwater Mercenaries Deploy in New Orleans
By Jeremy Scahill and Daniela Crespo
t r u t h o u t | Report
Saturday 10 September 2005
New Orleans - Heavily armed paramilitary mercenaries from the Blackwater private security firm, infamous for their work in Iraq, are openly patrolling the streets of New Orleans. Some of the mercenaries say they have been "deputized" by the Louisiana governor; indeed some are wearing gold Louisiana state law enforcement badges on their chests and Blackwater photo identification cards on their arms. They say they are on contract with the Department of Homeland Security and have been given the authority to use lethal force. Several mercenaries we spoke with said they had served in Iraq on the personal security details of the former head of the US occupation, L. Paul Bremer and the former US ambassador to Iraq, John Negroponte.
"This is a totally new thing to have guys like us working CONUS (Continental United States)," a heavily armed Blackwater mercenary told us as we stood on Bourbon Street in the French Quarter. "We're much better equipped to deal with the situation in Iraq."
Blackwater mercenaries are some of the most feared professional killers in the world and they are accustomed to operating without worry of legal consequences. Their presence on the streets of New Orleans should be a cause for serious concern for the remaining residents of the city and raises alarming questions about why the government would allow men trained to kill with impunity in places like Iraq and Afghanistan to operate here. Some of the men now patrolling the streets of New Orleans returned from Iraq as recently as 2 weeks ago.
What is most disturbing is the claim of several Blackwater mercenaries we spoke with that they are here under contract from the federal and Louisiana state governments.
Blackwater is one of the leading private "security" firms servicing the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan. It has several US government contracts and has provided security for many senior US diplomats, foreign dignitaries and corporations. The company rose to international prominence after 4 of its men were killed in Fallujah and two of their charred bodies were hung from a bridge in March 2004. Those killings sparked the massive US retaliation against the civilian population of Fallujah that resulted in scores of deaths and tens of thousands of refugees.
As the threat of forced evictions now looms in New Orleans and the city confiscates even legally registered weapons from civilians, the private mercenaries of Blackwater patrol the streets openly wielding M-16s and other assault weapons. This despite Police Commissioner Eddie Compass' claim that "Only law enforcement are allowed to have weapons."
Officially, Blackwater says its forces are in New Orleans to "join the Hurricane Relief Effort." A statement on the company's website, dated September 1, advertises airlift services, security services and crowd control. The company, according to news reports, has since begun taking private contracts to guard hotels, businesses and other properties. But what has not been publicly acknowledged is the claim, made to us by 2 Blackwater mercenaries, that they are actually engaged in general law enforcement activities including "securing neighborhoods" and "confronting criminals."
That raises a key question: under what authority are Blackwater's men operating? A spokesperson for the Homeland Security Department, Russ Knocke, told the Washington Post he knows of no federal plans to hire Blackwater or other private security. "We believe we've got the right mix of personnel in law enforcement for the federal government to meet the demands of public safety." he said.
But in an hour-long conversation with several Blackwater mercenaries, we heard a different story. The men we spoke with said they are indeed on contract with the Department of Homeland Security and the Louisiana governor's office and that some of them are sleeping in camps organized by Homeland Security in New Orleans and Baton Rouge. One of them wore a gold Louisiana state law enforcement badge and said he had been "deputized" by the governor. They told us they not only had authority to make arrests but also to use lethal force. We encountered the Blackwater forces as we walked through the streets of the largely deserted French Quarter. We were talking with 2 New York Police officers when an unmarked car without license plates sped up next to us and stopped. Inside were 3 men, dressed in khaki uniforms, flak jackets and wielding automatic weapons. "Y'all know where the Blackwater guys are?" they asked. One of the police officers responded, "There are a bunch of them around here," and pointed down the road.
"Blackwater?" we asked. "The guys who are in Iraq?"
"Yeah," said the officer. "They're all over the place."
A short while later, as we continued down Bourbon Street, we ran into the men from the car. They wore Blackwater ID badges on their arms.
"When they told me New Orleans, I said, 'What country is that in?,'" said one of the Blackwater men. He was wearing his company ID around his neck in a carrying case with the phrase "Operation Iraqi Freedom" printed on it. After bragging about how he drives around Iraq in a "State Department issued level 5, explosion proof BMW," he said he was "just trying to get back to Kirkuk (in the north of Iraq) where the real action is." Later we overheard him on his cell phone complaining that Blackwater was only paying $350 a day plus per diem. That is much less than the men make serving in more dangerous conditions in Iraq. Two men we spoke with said they plan on returning to Iraq in October. But, as one mercenary said, they've been told they could be in New Orleans for up to 6 months. "This is a trend," he told us. "You're going to see a lot more guys like us in these situations."
If Blackwater's reputation and record in Iraq are any indication of the kind of "services" the company offers, the people of New Orleans have much to fear.

Many older people are looking after a partner, relative or friend who is disabled or ill. If you are a carer and also have cancer, you may feel overwhelmed. You will need time to think about whether you can care for someone while you are ill and possibly having treatment.
Having cancer treatment could affect your ability to care for someone else. Your doctor will tell you when your treatment can start and how long it might take. They will also talk to you about any possible side effects. This information can help you decide whether you can continue being a carer, or whether you will need to make other arrangements. The effect on your role as a carer might be temporary or longer-term.

Wailea resorts get in touch with cultural roots
Wailea, Maui -- Arnold Schwarzenegger in the fitness room, Eddie Murphy by the pool - if only Twitter had been around on my first stay at the Four Seasons Maui at Wailea, 13 years ago, I could have happily name-dropped in 140 characters or less.
Yet social media wasn't the only thing missing in early 2001, when my husband's company invited us on an incentive trip. After four days lolling in Hollywood-style luxury, I was itching to experience something of Hawaii beyond one of Maui's nicer beaches. The Four Seasons, though sumptuous, could have been any expensive hotel, and Wailea in general meant atmospheric prices - not atmosphere. On later trips to the Valley Isle, we ignored it altogether in favor of places that had, well, a sense of place. A sense of Hawaii.
Wailea is now just as posh as ever - but like the Hollywood stars vacationing without their colorists, its roots are showing. New and newly renovated hotels have woven Hawaii's host culture into everything from restaurant and spa menus to guest activities.
What better time to learn the meaning of Wailea - the waters (wai) of canoe goddess Lea - than paddling an outrigger canoe? Many such programs come from cultural specialists, who have long known that Wailea is indeed a special place; it just needed its story to be told.
Andaz Maui: A fragrant lei
Between the photographer posing fashion models in the catwalk-style entrance and the telescopes for whale-watching just beyond the open-air lobby's sand pit, I almost didn't know where to look walking into the Andaz Maui at Wailea a few weeks ago. Opened last fall, the dramatically remodeled former Renaissance Wailea makes a strong visual impression with modern, loft-like spaces and a terrace of infinity-edge and lagoon pools ending just above Mokapu Beach.
Other senses quickly came into play as an iPad-toting receptionist greeted us with a glass of lavender lemonade - a nod to the famous Ali'i Kula Lavender farm on the mountain behind us - and a fresh tuberose lei whose gentle fragrance would perfume our room for days.
"I will not allow purple Thai orchids," explained Kainoa Horcajo, Hawaiian cultural director for the Andaz, referring to the hardy but scentless blooms hotels typically use for welcome leis. "When I started here, I said the lei needed to be a real one for guests."
I'd asked to talk with Horcajo, a Maui native and cultural trainer for the Native Hawaiian Hospitality Association, at the end of our three-night stay at the LEED-certified resort. I was curious about the intriguing blend of luxury, sustainability and Hawaiian influences.
The green touches - such as free woven shopping bags and reusable water bottles in every room, with filtered water stations every other floor - seemed in keeping with the Hawaiian ethos of stewardship. The aloha spirit of the unfailingly attentive servers and the premium local ingredients at Ka'ana Kitchen and Morimoto Maui, the Andaz's main dining outlets, nearly justified their extravagance ($45 for the breakfast buffet with many made-to-order options, for example). But why was reggae music in frequent rotation on the hotel sound system?
"When I met Michael Stephens, the general manager," Horcajo explained, "he shared his vision with me, and we made a decision: 'We are not going to be the most Hawaiian place, but we need to be true to this place, to be real and authentic.' The 'Jawaiian' music you hear is what we in the islands listen to."
Besides a weekly outrigger canoe regatta, which begins with a traditional prayer for safety, one of Horcajo's favorite free cultural activities for Andaz guests is a storytelling session called "Myths of Maui." Beyond tales such as the one that inspired the entry sculpture of demigod Maui pulling the islands from the sea with a fishhook, he said, "We dispel myths such as coconut bras being Hawaiian, or the curse of Pele if you take a lava rock home."
Like others at the Andaz, he doesn't wear a name tag, just a button-size pin of lauhala, woven pandanus leaves, in a pattern known as piko, or navel - an image traditionally associated with forebears, family and future descendants. Hostesses, who wear abstract-print maxis rather than floral muumuus, sport lauhala piko bangles. Tellingly, the Andaz staff made all the lauhala buttons and bangles by hand.
"It's a reminder to us to honor those that came before us, and to protect this place for those yet to come," Horcajo said.
Four Seasons: Green team
Maui is renowned for its views of other islands. In Wailea, uninhabited Kahoolawe - first deforested by ranching and later battered by Navy test bombs - takes center stage, 6 miles offshore.
When we stayed at the Four Seasons in 2001, the brick-red isle loomed mysteriously on the horizon. It would be nearly three more years before environmental restoration could begin, after the Navy had removed just enough unexploded ordnance to transfer control back to the state. Its barrenness seemed to magnify the sterile whiteness of our resort, clustered around a Greco-Roman fountain pool.
Flash-forward to the present, and both the Four Seasons and Kahoolawe are looking lusher, with the help of the hotel's "green team," led by grounds and landscaping manager Kevin Gavagan.
Responding to the Four Seasons' corporate initiative to plant 10 million trees worldwide, since 2011 Gavagan has made several trips to Kahoolawe with fellow employees - all volunteering their time - to replant native vegetation on the isle, which still restricts access for safety reasons. By mid-2013, they had planted upwards of 4,000 trees on Maui and Kahoolawe.
The sense of kuleana - responsibility - for Kahoolawe comes naturally to Gavagan, whose native Hawaiian mother brought the family back to Maui from New England after he was born. "The island is part of our moku (district) of Honuaula, which runs from the top of the mountain out to the sea," he explained during a cultural garden tour of the Four Seasons.
Gavagan had wanted to take us on one of the complimentary outrigger paddles of the resort, but my mother, 78, and I found plenty to interest us in our amble through the multilevel gardens, such as the native white hibiscus flower, and the indigenous loulou palm Gavagan's team uses to thatch tiki huts on the event lawn. "We redo them every four to six months," he noted, inspecting the taut underside of one roof.
We also inhaled the scent of crushed mamaki leaves, used by Hawaiians for tea; drank coconut water from a freshly husked coconut; and stopped by the iliahi, or native sandalwood tree, planted on Earth Day 2012 by the grand staircase, with a plaque explaining its significance. Sandalwood once covered many slopes in Hawaii, but became nearly extinct after Westerners' trade with China began. The resort's 39 species of indigenous or "canoe plants" - i.e., brought by the first Polynesians - can be viewed on the green team's website, www.inourgardens.com.
The evening before, we had enjoyed the jazzy interpretations of the band at the free sunset hula show in the Four Seasons lobby, recently renovated to have a more inviting, tropical feel. But we felt even more connected to Wailea in the garden, listening to Gavagan play slack-key guitar while a barefoot employee danced "Ulupalakua," celebrating yet another special place of Honua'ula.
Fairmont Kea Lani: Elegant showcase
The Moorish architecture of Wailea's southernmost hotel may not have changed much since it opened in 1991, but a recent renovation has softened its interior design to include more island elements. The Fairmont's cultural quotient has also risen considerably under learning and cultural coach Jonelle Kamai, trained by the Native Hawaiian Hospitality Association.
Every new employee - from executives to valets - goes through an extensive orientation on Hawaiian values such as living pono (justly) and hookipa (hospitality). She also verses servers at Ko, chef Tylun Pang's very popular restaurant, in the plantation era that inspires his multicultural cuisine.
Guests receive a fresh plumeria blossom to put behind their ear, while free cultural activities, which tripled in 2012, include outrigger canoe rides and stargazing as well as the more typical hula, lei making and ukulele lessons. From Polo Beach, in front of the hotel, visitors can also take a unique paid excursion on a traditional Hawaiian sailing canoe.
On a visit in January 2013, I toured the Fairmont's gardens with Kamai, who seemed proudest of the kalo (taro) that may one day be pounded into poi, as at one of the monthly daylong cultural celebrations that also began in 2012. That evening, I chanced across a local hula halau (troupe) performing under the lobby's grand arches on a marble floor.
It wasn't designed for dancing barefoot, but like much of Wailea, it made an elegant showcase for telling the story of Hawaii.

AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - Texas Governor Rick Perry on Thursday will sign into law tough new restrictions on abortion, including a ban after 20 weeks of pregnancy, marking one of the biggest victories in a decade for opponents of abortion in the United States.
Perry, a Republican, has scheduled a news conference for Thursday morning to sign the measure in the presence of political supporters and anti-abortion activists.
Texas Republicans, who have a large majority in the state legislature, pushed through the restrictions over the fierce objection of Democrats and supporters of the right to abortion.
Democratic state Senator Wendy Davis briefly caught national attention last month by staging a filibuster to stall the restrictions, although her gambit ultimately failed.
While several other conservative states have approved piecemeal abortion restrictions, Texas is by far the most populous and politically important, and it took more dramatic action by combining several measures into one bill.
The Texas measures are also more far reaching than a ban passed by the U.S. Congress in 2003 on a type of late-term abortion called "partial birth," which covered only a small fraction of abortions performed each year.
Texas will join 12 other states which have passed bans on abortion after 20 weeks, citing controversial research that a fetus feels pain by that stage. North Dakota and Arkansas have gone further, banning abortion as early as six and 12 weeks respectively.
The current limit for abortions in Texas is 26 weeks.
Texas is also requiring all abortion facilities to meet the same standards as outpatient surgery centers by September 2014, and forcing doctors performing abortions to have the right to admit a patient to a hospital within 30 miles of a clinic.
The law will prohibit anyone other than a doctor dispensing the so-called "abortion pill," or RU-486 drug, to end pregnancies, and require that a second dosage be administered at a clinic under a doctor's supervision and not at home.
Texas already has a law passed two years ago requiring a woman to undergo an ultrasound and be shown the results, before an abortion can be performed.
Opponents of the new Texas law say it will be found unconstitutional because the landmark Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision in 1973 allowed abortion up to the point a fetus is viable, or can live outside the womb.
But supporters of the Texas law say technology for treating premature babies has resulted in survival at earlier stages of gestation. They say that the government has a compelling right to protect the fetus as early as 20 weeks.
The Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives last month passed a ban on abortion after 20 weeks, although the measure has little chance of passage in the Democratic majority Senate.
Planned Parenthood and other operators of clinics have warned that only a handful of the 42 facilities in Texas providing abortions now meet the standards set in the new law, and the cost of upgrading could force dozens to close. Supporters of the law say that is an exaggeration.
Abortion rights activists have vowed to immediately challenge the Texas law in court. Some challenges of other state laws have been successful. A federal judge on Wednesday extended for two more weeks a hold on a Wisconsin provision requiring doctors to have admitting privileges at a hospital, while the judge studies whether to block the law.
The U.S. Supreme Court has not ruled recently on an abortion case. But in 2006 it narrowly endorsed, 5 to 4, the U.S. Congressional ban on "partial birth" abortions.

NEW YORK, Oct. 18 (UPI) -- U.S. filmmaker Rory Kennedy, the youngest child of slain U.S. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, says her HBO documentary "Ethel" stands apart from other accounts of the Kennedy family political dynasty's role in history because it is told from the family's point of view and puts the spotlight on her interview-shy mother, Ethel Skakel Kennedy.
So, how did Rory filter out everything previously said by historians, authors and journalists to focus on her own truth in making this film?
"Part of it was just the simple decision to interview my mother and my siblings and have my voice in there as the narrator," Rory told United Press International in a phone interview this week.
"Obviously, there have been a number of documentaries and books and other media about my family and I felt like what I could offer, what hasn't been in the mix before, is the perspective from inside my family, so that was part of the decision to just interview my siblings. Obviously, I had access to other family members as well as so-called experts on some of these historical events, but I felt like that had been done and can be done by others and what I could add was an inside-out perspective."
Asked if she had always wanted to tell her mother's story on film, Rory replied: "No! I've always wanted not to do this.
"I make documentaries because I'm interested in exploring the world outside of my own and understanding how other people live ... . I'm kind of less interested in exploring my own world," said the director of "American Hollow," "Pandemic: Facing AIDS," "A Boy's Life," "Ghosts of Abu Ghraib" and "Thank You Mr. President: Helen Thomas at the White House."
"There's a lot that's been done about my family and I think, as a whole, we're not an over-sharing bunch and so it wasn't comfortable for me to tell my mother's story and know I would have to ask my mother and siblings some hard questions about some very sad times," said Rory, who was born six months after her father was assassinated in Los Angeles during his campaign for the 1968 Democratic presidential nomination. "It's not something any of us are particularly inclined to talk about or explore publicly, so that was not comfortable for me."
Rory said she relented after HBO continuously pressed her to make a film about her mother, a feisty, fun-loving tower of strength. A devout Catholic and mother of 11 children, Ethel tirelessly supported the political campaigns of both her attorney general-senator-presidential candidate husband, and her brother-in-law, President John F. Kennedy -- and then continued the leaders' humanitarian efforts after they were assassinated, while also instilling in the next generation of Kennedys the vital importance of family and service.
"My siblings and I had been encouraging my mother to write a book about her life because she is such an extraordinary character and she lived through so many amazing times in our history and her story hasn't really been told," Rory said. "She has never done an interview about her whole life or a book about it, so I felt like it's a story that should be told and probably if I didn't do it, it wouldn't happen. And so I was compelled to do it."
Rory said Ethel, now 84, has seen the film and understands why it was made, but still doesn't seem to accept what a tremendous impact she has had on so many people's lives.
"She cannot see it even today. It's pretty amazing," her daughter said.
"I think her first time watching ['Ethel'] was hard mostly because she was self-conscious watching herself like any of us would be watching ourselves on television," Rory said of her mother. "But I think she appreciates the film and appreciates I did it and she's very positive about it."
One of the most fascinating aspects of the documentary is it shows how Ethel maintains her strong faith and love of life despite the early deaths of her parents, husband and two sons.
"I think it's really her nature and she does have such a natural love of life and people and she has such a competitive drive, but it's really a drive to keep going and to make the most of every moment," Rory said. "And I think, also, religion really had a big impact on her and gave her tools to get through difficult times."
Helping flesh out the portrait of Ethel in the documentary are several of Rory's siblings.
"I'm the youngest of 11, so my older siblings -- Kathleen, Joe and Bobby -- had very different experiences growing up than Chris, Max, Douglas and I, who are on the younger end of the spectrum. For example, my older siblings have direct memories of the Cuban Missile Crisis whereas my younger siblings weren't even born then or were too young to remember," RFK's youngest child said. "So, there were a lot of perspectives and mostly dictated by age."
While much has been said in the past about her father's words and actions during those turbulent times in our nation's history, Rory said her family's experiences during that era have not been fully explored until now.
"To be able to kind of step back from his perspective and look at 'What was it like for my mother? What was it like for my siblings to live through that time? What kind of choices were available to them?'" Rory said, referring to the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. "They had the option to leave and go to a safe place and they decided to stay and what was that like? And looking at it from a slightly different perspective for me was unique and with new knowledge was kind of an interesting way to think about it.
"I had always read about my father standing up to (Teamsters Union President) Jimmy Hoffa and showing such courage and it was a very difficult time. But what was it like ... my mother was being threatened, her life was being threatened and her children were being threatened. What was it like for them to live during those times? To kind of get that perspective, as well, I hope, adds something new to the mix."
While Rory expects the film to be embraced by older viewers who might remember her father and his contributions firsthand, she said she also hopes it will teach young people about her family's efforts to make the country a better place and inspire them to try to do the same.
"It's great to show it to older people because I think it speaks to them on a very personal level and I think so many people went through what our family went through at the same time and through these same events and so it speaks to them on a very personal level, but it's really exciting for me to show it to younger people, many of whom have very little exposure and knowledge of this time in our nation's history and certainly don't feel connected to it and I think because it is a personal story, it doesn't feel like spinach. It feels like you can feel emotionally connected to it. Young kids come out of it and they're really jazzed by it and feel like they want to learn more about this history. Also, I've heard so many people say, 'I want to give back.' Or, 'I want to commit myself to community service.' And also, 'For the first time, I can see how politics can make a difference and how leadership plays such a huge role.'"
"Ethel" premieres Thursday on HBO.

Roger Clemens hasn't pitched since 2007. Probably because he's old and fat and toxic. But just two months removed from a pointless perjury trial, Clemens thinks he still has enough in the tank to take the mound—and the Sugar Land Skeeters think he's enough of a draw to offer a contract.
The Skeeters, in the independent Atlantic League, have worked out Clemens and will sign him ahead of his first start on Saturday, according to Mark Berman of Fox Houston. Clemens, seen here making the universal "this guy" gesture, hit 87 mph during his workout, and is supposedly in "great shape." Sugar Land, however, may be far enough from New York to keep Suzyn Waldman from soiling her chair.
Clemens joins a Sugar Land rotation with Scott Kazmir and Tim Redding, and will face a Bridgeport Bluefish lineup that inclues Shea Hillenbrand and Joey Gathright. The point: independent league ball is awesome.

return to (one's) muttons(redirected from return to muttons)
return to (one's) muttons
antiquated To return to a given topic or subject that one is discussing, explaining, ruminating over, talking about, etc. Taken from a humorous translation of the French idiom "revenons à nos moutons" (literally, "let us return to our sheep," which has the same meaning), which itself came from the medieval play La Farce de Maître Pathelin. The constable, frustrated with the drunkard's rambling explanation, bade him return to his muttons. But I have strayed off course from the lecture, so let us return to our muttons before we run out of time.

Window Phone gives you a look at the weather outside
Posted by Mark Rollins Categories: Smartphones, Misc. Tech
We try to cover concept technology with some form of regularity, because it generally sounds cool. The problem with concept tech, however, is that it fails to become what we in the business like to know as "reality." With that caveat stated, check out the Window Phone.
This Window Phone looks like an iPhone screen, with the main feature being that it gives you a weather report by simulating what a Window would look like in that kind of weather. See the rain? Just imagine what happens if it snows. When it is clear and sunny out, the screen is crystal-clear.
By the way, you can also fog the phone up and draw on it, as seen by the illustration after the break. This would result in your illustrations being sent over MMS.
Fun concept, but not something we think will see the light of day anytime soon.

6 Therefore ilet us leave jthe elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance kfrom dead works and of faith toward God, 2 and of linstruction about washings,1 mthe laying on of hands, nthe resurrection of the dead, and oeternal judgment. 3 And this we will do pif God permits. 4 For it is impossible, in the case of those qwho have once been enlightened, who have tasted rthe heavenly gift, and shave shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 and thave tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 and uthen have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since vthey are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt. 7 For wland that has drunk the rain that often falls on it, and produces a crop useful to those for whose sake it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God. 8 But xif it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to being cursed, yand its end is to be burned.
9 Though we speak in this way, yet in your case, beloved, we feel sure of better things—things that belong to salvation. 10 For zGod is not unjust so as to overlook ayour work and the love that you have shown for his name in bserving the saints, as you still do. 11 And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance cof hope until the end, 12 so that you may not be sluggish, but dimitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
The Certainty of God's Promise
13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, ehe swore by himself, 14 saying, f"Surely I will bless you and multiply you." 15 And thus Abraham,2 ghaving patiently waited, obtained the promise. 16 For people swear by something greater than themselves, and in all their disputes han oath is final for confirmation. 17 So when God desired to show more convincingly to ithe heirs of the promise jthe unchangeable character of his purpose, khe guaranteed it with an oath, 18 so that by two unchangeable things, in which lit is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope mset before us. 19 We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into nthe inner place behind the curtain, 20 where Jesus has gone oas a forerunner on our behalf, phaving become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
About English Standard Version
The English Standard Version™ is founded on the conviction that the words of the Bible are the very words of God. And because the words themselves—not just the thoughts or ideas—are inspired by God, each word must be translated with the greatest precision and accuracy. As Jesus Himself stressed, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God" (Matt. 4:4).
This passion for God's Word is the driving force behind the translation of the ESV™ Bible. The English Standard Version™ does not try to "improve" on the original in light of today's culture or by using trendy language. Instead, the utmost care has been taken to express God's Word in English that most closely captures the meaning of the original, with understandability, beauty, and impact.

Over the past 20 years, Joe Giudice's license has been suspended for 9.4 years and at the time of the municipal court trial he had 39 points on his license. The sanctions were for such offenses as speeding, leaving the scene of an accident and careless driving.This is crazy!
i cannot wait for the reunion show AND to see what she has to say about what is going on right now in their personal lives.... that auction is set to take place in about two weeks! after that, i wonder if the house will go also?
Where to even start. I will work my way back from the most recent:Joe gets a ticket. A DRUNK DRIVING ticket. I searched online and saw he was also arrested for the same offense a few years ago. THIS IS INEXCUSABLE. A good father does not jeopardize his safety by getting drunk and driving. A decent human being holds all life valuable and doesn't get behind the wheel of car when under the influence. He is a disgusting piece of sh*t in my opinion who has no moral compass. We see in an upcoming episode video he down plays the accident and claims he wasnt' drunk. But blood tests don't lie. He should take responsibility. This is a theme in their life. They never take responsibility for anything - they just take. Then the mess with bankruptcy. How does anyone remain a fan of theirs considering this mess? Its not like they got in too deep on a car loan or even a mortgage.....THEY ARE $11 MILLION - MILLION! in debt. Think of the people who are going to be hurt by their selfishness. They allegedly stiffed a plastic surgeon - quite possibly that surgeon will have to close or lay off staff and/or charge every other person a lot more to make up for her "fresh start". They stiffed builders and suppliers. These businesses all have staffs and family to provide for. Even the mortgage company - $5mil mortgage hurts a mortgage company's bottom line - undoubtedly causing people to lose jobs. This sort of "fresh start" hurts a lot of people in the community. It hurts all of us. And they are behaving like they are just doing their part to make America great. Yes, some businesses have had to declare bankruptcy like Trump - but that was business reorganization - these are two stupid people who think having anything they want is a priority - and it doesn't matter if they can afford it. T tried to blame it on tenents not paying them rent. The nonsense about ppl not paying rent should have been factored into their business plan. They are reportedly "slumlords" and their tenents live in terrible conditions. While the poor people in their apartments live without heat - Teresa is dropping the rent money in Posche on chinchilla. That is so wrong. I have nothing against having nice things - if you can afford them. These two couldn't . They are reckless, irresponsible, selfish people who have hurt a lot of people. One issue that is in question has to do with the profits from her book. Morally, every penny from that book and her appearances should be going to pay her debts....but they are claiming they inked the deal AFTER the bankruptcy was filed so the profits are exempt. First, does ANY ONE think this wasn't done by design? Does anyone think they didn't tell their publisher to wait a few weeks while they declare bankruptcy first? Second, does anyone think this is right? Leave a huge mountain of debt and then take that "Fresh Start" to buy more crap for yourself? They obviously have not learned anything from this. And it appears it is all one big party for T. How long does anyone give that marriage any way? I am sure it was easy when the money was flowing - I don't see it lasting much longer now that it isn't as fun. How bizarre was the "over the top" Christening? Teresa speaks in her blog about being Roman Catholic. I am Roman Catholic too - attended Catholic schools all my life. I know Jesus was the son of a carpenter and would have been ashamed and appalled to see that sort of "over the top" "out of control" spending on a Christening KNOWING how many people were suffering at their hand. The Jesus I know would have been far more impressed with a simple ceremony focusing on the religion - not Marie Antoinette and Sushi. The Jesus I know would have been far more impressed if they spent that money trying to make right with the people they stiffed. How in their twisted world does it make sense to have such a ridiculous event for a child's Christening? THAT event had NOTHING to do with Christianity. I REALLY think they missed the point - again. I doubt these two selfish people will ever "get it". As long as they have "hanger-ons" in their corner telling them how wonderful they are. Bottomline is anyone can buy a chinchilla, its take a bigger smarter person not to - especially if they can't afford it. Move into that apartment over the pizza shop Teresa and Joe - then I will be impressed. Live on a budget - then I will be impressed. Volunteer to help the less fortunate - then I will be impressed. Otherwise - you are just a joke.

Andrew Wilkow roasts the governments of Honduras and Guatemala

Andrew Wilkow from the Wilkow Majority joins Glenn Beck to lambaste the government of Honduras and Guatemala: "It's a win-win for these governments. We send them the money, they send us the people — and keep the money."
