Alcohol and Drug Problems: Law Enforcement and Legal Policy
Anna Celeste Burke
Historically, U.S. policy has been characterized by long-standing ambivalence evident in the changing emphasis placed on prohibition as the aim of drug policy, and in debate about the relative merits of various approaches to drug control. Often characterized as supply reduction versus demand reduction efforts, significant changes have occurred over time in these efforts, and in the emphasis placed on them. In the last quarter of the twentieth century, U.S. drug policy adopted a more prohibitionist stance, with increased reliance on a variety of law enforcement, and even military actions, to control the supply and use of drugs, even in the face of evidence for the effectiveness of prevention and treatment, and high costs associated with the burgeoning incarceration rates.
Capital Punishment
Sondra J. Fogel, M. Dwayne Smith, and Beth Bjerregaard
Capital punishment, the administration of death as a legal sanction, is a criminal-justice response to a restricted class of criminal activities that involve the killing of another human being. As a legal process, capital punishment has been modified by several landmark U.S. Supreme Court decisions. Yet, it remains a controversial penalty with factors of race, gender, socio-economic status, mental health status of the defendant, and other extra-legal factors often attributed to the sentencing decision. Social workers are increasingly used as mitigation experts or in similar types of roles for the defense team. As a profession, social work opposes the use of capital punishment. The purpose of this entry is to provide an overview of the death penalty as it is currently practiced in the United States and to review current issues and controversies surrounding its administration.
Children and Armed Conflict
Susan Mapp
The United Nations has defined six grave violations that occur in war that impact children: killing or maiming of children, recruitment or use of children as soldiers, sexual violence against children, attacks against schools or hospitals, denial of humanitarian access for children, and abduction of children. These violations have a myriad of negative impacts on children, including biological, psychological, and social effects. Culturally appropriate support and care provided at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels can help alleviate these impacts and help children recover from these experiences.
Criminal Justice: Overview
Rudolph Alexander Jr.
The criminal justice system traces its roots to ancient times. When the 13 original colonies were formed, they brought many of the laws and legal processes from England. Traditionally, the criminal justice system is viewed as including law enforcement, judiciary, and corrections. However, state legislatures and Congress must be viewed as essential components of the criminal justice system because they pass laws that influence the other three components. A number of controversial practices and policies exist within the criminal justice system. Social work, which has had a long involvement in the criminal justice system, including spearheading the creation of the juvenile justice system in the United States, is involved in all phases of the criminal justice system.
Elder Abuse
Eloise Rathbone-McCuan
Elder abuse is now recognized internationally as a social problem among the aging population. Intentional abuse, neglect, and exploitation among caregivers to frail and isolated elderly create serious risks across diverse formal and informal care settings. This field has expanded continuously since the early 1970s. Accurate prevalence and incidence rates have not been determined. There is a national system of elder victim protection operating within each state. The social work profession is legally mandated to report situations where an elderly person is suspected to be at risk of abuse. Social workers are involved in all aspects of elder abuse prevention and intervention services.
Hate Crimes
Nancy A. Humphreys and Shannon Lane
Hate crimes and their traumatic repercussions are an important area for social worker intervention. This entry will examine how hate crimes are defined and handled, and the difficulties inherent in categorizing and responding to them. Collection of hate crime statistics and hate crime–related legislation are reviewed. The entry will also examine how social workers can help victims and perpetrators and influence how society conceptualizes and prevents hate crimes and their consequences.
Intimate Partner Violence
Bonnie E. Carlson
Intimate partner violence—physical, emotional, or sexual abuse experienced in both heterosexual and same-sex relationships—has emerged as a significant and complex social problem warranting the attention of social workers. Numerous risk factors have been identified in individual perpetrators and victims, as well as at the level of the relationship, community, and society. Partner violence has diverse consequences for female victims, as well as for perpetrators and children who are exposed to it. Although many female victims do seek help and end abusive relationships, seeking help from professionals such as social workers is often a last resort.
Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse
Jill Theresa Messing
Intimate partner violence—the continual and systematic exercise of power and control within an intimate relationship that often also includes physical and sexual violence—has emerged as a significant and complex social problem warranting the attention of social workers. Risk and protective factors have been identified at the individual, family, community, and societal levels. Some of these risk factors for repeat and lethal violence have been organized into risk assessment instruments that can be used by social workers to educate and empower survivors. Intimate partner violence has multiple negative health and mental health consequences for female victims and their children. Social workers in all areas of practice should be prepared to intervene with victims of intimate partner violence in a culturally competent manner using a strengths-based framework.
Legal System
Robert G. Madden
The law is a powerful force in all aspects of contemporary American society. The legal system furnishes the context and procedures for the creation and enforcement of laws to resolve disputes, protect rights, and generally to maintain order. Social workers are expected to understand the basic workings of the legal system. Knowledge of the legal system provides the foundation to support social workers to undertake social justice initiatives, to give voice to vulnerable client populations, and to work for legal rules that support good social work practice.
Mental Health Courts
Matthew Epperson, Julian Thompson, and Kelli E. Canada
This article discusses the emergence, structure, and purpose of the mental health court. It details the therapeutic aspects of the mental health court and its function as a specialized-treatment court serving persons with serious mental illnesses in the criminal justice system. Guiding themes, such as the criminalization of mental illness, therapeutic jurisprudence, and drug-treatment courts are described. It also identifies key legislation that contributed to the funding and proliferation of mental health courts. The effectiveness of mental health court, along with current criticisms regarding its impact on participants' mental health and recidivism outcomes, are also covered. Last, social work values and the various roles of social workers in the mental health court are highlighted to demonstrate the relevance of mental health court to contemporary social work practice and intervention.

Oakland Raiders sign kick returner Josh Cribbs to 1-year deal
OAKLAND, Calif. – The Oakland Raiders have signed free agent kick returner Josh Cribbs to a one-year contract.
Cribbs' agent, John Rickert, confirmed the deal when reached by phone Wednesday. He declined to disclose financial terms.
Rickert said Cribbs drew interests from several teams but felt the Raiders were the right fit after a visit to the team's headquarters last Monday.
Cribbs, who turns 30 next month, had been with the Cleveland Browns since signing as an undrafted free agent out of Kent State in 2005. He averaged 27.4 yards on kick returns and 12 yards per punt return last season but did not have a touchdown. He also had seven receptions for 63 yards.
Cribbs' eight kickoff returns for touchdowns are tied with Leon Washington for the most in NFL history.

Two Kent County farms and three Sussex County farms were honored, respectively, as Century Farms Thursday by the Delaware Department of Agriculture. Century Farms must have been farmed by the same family for at least 100 years.
People throughout the state of Delaware began celebrating harvest time at autumn in October and the end of September through the cornstalks they tied to their mailbox posts or the hayrides they took at places like Fifer Orchards.
Thursday morning, state officials kept the harvest celebration going by presenting Century Farm awards to two farming families from Kent County and two families from Sussex County during a ceremony held at the Delaware Agricultural Museum and Village off U.S. Route 13 in Dover. Each year in early November the Delaware Department of Agriculture presents Century Farm awards to landowners who submit documentation that proves that their land has been farmed by the same family for at least 100 years.
The addition of the five farms honored on Thursday meant 121 farms had been enrolled in the state's Century Farms Program since 1987, Deputy Secretary of Agriculture Austin Short said Thursday.
Short noted that farming in Delaware is a $1 billion per year industry, proving its value to the Diamond State's economy.
Farming has been a vital part of Delaware's rich history that goes back to American Indians and then the early Colonial settlers, said guest speaker Thomas Summers, outreach services manager for the Delaware Public Archives.
Among the farms honored by the state were the 54-acre Walls farm near Andrewville, southwest of Harrington in Kent County. This farm owned by Mildred Walls once produced peppers, soybeans, corn and lima beans as well as chickens, cows and horses. Today, the farm produces corn and wheat.
"My husband's grandfather was the original owner and he left it to his daughter," Walls said. "She left it to her son and I'm the son's wife."
The 12.75-acre Breeding farm west of Farmington in Kent County was also honored. The farm owned by Chris and Karen Breeding has produced beans, hay, beef cattle and hogs. Chris recently left the Kent County Conservation District to work for Synagro, and Karen teaches agriculture in Bridgeville.
"You just got to love it," Chris Breeding said. "I like to plant sees, watch them grow and be able to harvest it. We grow corn and soybeans. We have Black Angus cattle and it's exciting every year to see the new calves in the spring and to watch them grow.
"We pretty much grind all our own feed," he said. "We just started getting in the hog business and a little bit of vegetables."
The 105-acre Wilson farm north of Georgetown was also honored. The farm owned by State Rep. David Wilson (R-Lincoln) and his wife, Carolyn has produced corn, soybeans, strawberries and cucumbers over the years. The farm is now rented out to tenant farmers who focus on growing corn and soybeans.
"My grandfather bought it in 1907 and my dad purchased it in 1955," Rep. Wilson said. "My father passed away in 1966. Then, we purchased it from my mother 1971. It's just family heritage. You just hate to see it go."
He credited one of his sisters, the late Gladys Donovan, for conducting the initial research that led to the state's recognition on Thursday.
Lastly, the state honored two more Sussex County farms owned by Thomas and Elizabeth Pepper. The 34-acre Pepper farm near Milton was farmed by Thomas Pepper in 1879 and continually farmed by the family until 1968. It is now farmed by tenant farmers that produce corn and soybeans. Thomas and Elizabeth Pepper also own the 53-acre Wilson farm near Georgetown. The original 150 acres were purchased by Thomas Wilson, great grandfather of Thomas Pepper. It too is now farmed by tenant farmers.
Thomas Pepper said his family had been in Georgetown since the 17th century.
Tributes were presented to each of the families by their respective state legislators, namely State Sen. Gary Simpson (R-Milford), State Rep. Harvey Kenton (R-Milford), State Rep. Bobby Outten (R-Harrington), and State Rep. John Atkins (D-Millsboro). State Sen. Joseph Booth (R-Georgetown) helped write the tribute for the Sussex farms in his district but was unable to attend Thursday's ceremony, Simpson said.
Gov. Jack Markell was also unable to attend the ceremony. But, in a press release, he said the families honored Thursday had shown "a deep dedication and love for the land."
"I hope that their children and grandchildren will continue to carry on the tradition for many years to come," Markell said.

Lowell Levin, MPH, DEd
Professor Emeritus of and Lecturer in Public Health (Health Policy)
Departments & Organizations
School of Public Health: YSPH Global Health Concentration
Lowell Levin is Emeritus Professor of Public Health at Yale University. His research and work as a consultant throughout the world have often challenged established public health beliefs and practices. Committed to health promotion, in the 1960s he pioneered the citizen participation movement, focusing on health communication and the social and behavioral factors affecting health (Self-Care: Lay Initiatives in Health, 1976). In the 1970s and early 1980s, with the first publication of The Hidden Health Care System and other works, Professor Levin brought to public health's attention the role of non-professional resources in strengthening personal capacity for health and well being, primarily self-care. In the 1980s, Professor Levin pressed for improvement in the quality of medical care, notably as a co-author of Medicine on Trial (1988). As an advisor for over thirty-five years to the World Health Organization's European Region, as well as to various non-governmental organizations in Europe, Latin America, the British Commonwealth Caribbean and the United States, Professor Levin has worked to develop cross-departmental collaborations, particularly at the national level in European countries, to improve the impact on health of diverse public policies in such areas as agriculture, education, environment, employment, communications and tourism. During his career as professor, researcher, and advisor, Professor Levin has developed innovative educational programs, including founding the global health division at the Yale School of Public Health, always aiming to enhance the ability of health practitioners and policy makers to effectively work across sectors as public health advocates. Throughout his career, Professor Levin has published extensively, led numerous international seminars, served on editorial boards of many scholarly journals, and spoken to a wide range of audiences emphasizing health in the global context of economic and social development. Clarifying the links between poverty, social inequity and health, he has increased policy makers awareness of the need to make healthy public policies through intersectoral action designed to optimize the benefits of collaborative health interventions in effective and sustainable ways.

Foodbank is a proud member of the Global Foodbanking Network, an international organisation dedicated to developing foodbanking around the world.
The history of food banking
The first ever food bank was founded in 1967 by John van Hengel in Phoenix Arizona. Van Hengel volunteered at St Vincent de Paul, collecting donations for the community dining room. He learned from someone retrieving food from a supermarket dumpster that stores disposed of food that had damaged packaging or was near expiration. Armed with this knowledge, he met with store managers in the area and persuaded them to donate edible but unsaleable food to St Vincent de Paul. Soon he was receiving more food than one dining room could use. He thought of creating a central location from which any agency can receive donations. With the help of St. Mary's Basilica, the first food bank was born.
From this experience, the concept of food banking was born. Based on the idea of a 'bank', individuals and companies who had the resources could make a 'deposit' of food and funds through donations and agencies could make 'withdrawals'. Van Hengel approached St. Mary's Basilica with his idea of creating a central location where social service agencies could receive needed food for their clients at no cost.
In its first year, the Food Bank, comprised of van Hengel and a few volunteers, collected and distributed more than 250,000 pounds of food to 36 local agencies. Inspired by the concept, cities across America began opening their own food banks. From here the concept of food banking spread around the world coming to Australia in 1992.

Police search for suspect in robbery at Target
UPDATE: Police arrested a suspect in this robbery Friday, Nov. 30, 2012. For that story, click the link below:
An armed robber fired one shot into the ground during a robbery in the parking lot of the Target Shopping Center on Thursday, Nov. 15
The victim, a 24-year-old female from Orange, was walking back to her car after shopping at Target on the Eastex Freeway in Beaumont. According to a Beaumont Police Department press release, as she approached her car, a man confronted her and tried to take her purse. The woman resisted and struggled with the man. He then pulled out a handgun and fired one shot into the asphalt of the parking lot. The robber was then able to take the purse, and he ran away through the parking lot. He got into a green older-model truck and fled northbound on the Eastex Freeway service road. The woman was not injured during the robbery.
The woman described the robber as a black male, 5-feet-10 to 6 feet in height, with a medium build and facial hair. He was wearing a gray hoodie and dark colored pants.
Patrol officers searched the area but were not able to locate the suspect. Detectives took statements from the victim and several witnesses.
When he's identified and located, police say the man will face a charge of aggravated robbery.

Why aren't you complaining about the lack of Part VIII!?
Love both part VII & VIII Griff. You did a great job editing the end of part VIII.
I'm complaining about the lack of part XXIV. If there is going to be a part XXIV? I am not sure if you intend on making the same amount of parts as there are episodes.
I finally got back, and first thing I did was watch this.
I couldn't even tell that you cut anything at the end. Till slan69 mentioned that you edited it. I had to go and watch the original anime episode just to see what you cut. Very good job.
The only scene I noticed that you cut was the Princess looking at Griffith as he's falling back and seeing that bolt sticking out of his armor. I actually kind of like that shot, though not the one of him falling sideways. I guess it's the one I distinctly remember from the anime.
A great edit that jumped out on me was the leaf tooting scene. It just worked so well. I always thought it was a silly scene and it just got a lot funnier.Charlotte: Why are men big stupid violent dummies?Without hesitation, Griffith snaps off a leaf... FWEEEEEEEE
Great work! These scenes during the night look pretty incredible, even the colors and stuff. My favorite parts of the anime are all in part IX of your edit.
Love it. (Part IX & X)
Haha nice nice. The next episode will raise the temperature on here
As always I enjoyed watching both parts. I was actually going to re-watch the series, but when I read this thread I thought to myself, I might as well watch Griff's instead. (I knew it would be better.)
I actually thought it was funny the way part XII ended. Adon was clearly about to say something really important.
I personally enjoyed this one the most. Perhaps it's been a while since I've seen this series, but the fluency in this particular episode shines.
Looking good, Griff! It's been a while since I've seen this part of the anime, but the transitions looked pretty flawless to me.
The only thing that really jumps out at me (and don't ask me why) is that in Part X when Griffith finishes his speech about friendship and gives his maniacal grin at the deaths of royalty, in the manga there' a bit devoted to Guts turning away and Casca starting to realize what Guts had done. And I guess my point is, wasn't that also in the anime? And if so, why was that cut out?
Who could this be? A man with a predilection for lurking on cliffs?
Good stuff. I think the "Murder" track that plays around 4:30 could be extended to the Adon vs Casca fight, instead of just cutting off. That's really the only critique I had.

Albertus needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 49 designs submitted by 18 freelance designers.
We are absolutely passionate about 4x4s and all things off-road. We have the exclusive rights for a few major international 4x4 parts and accessory brands here in Southern Africa, and we only choose BOLD, EXTREME and high-quality products to represent.
This new website is going to be THE go-to website for all your 4x4 needs. One site for everything you may need to go off-road or turn your vehicle into a mini monster truck.
Our motto: "Thrash the norm!"
Our image must be a simple yet strickingly bold one, with a logo that must be easily read like the name, and an icon that must be recognisable from miles away, even if only seen for a millisecond.
The logo will be on cars, 4x4s, clothing, bike helmets and more similar things.
Here are the websites of some of the brands we sell:
This website is aimed at two types of people.
The young guy who wants to turn his 4x4, SUV or truck into the biggest, baddest, most eye-catching truck around.
But at the same time, it is for the older, more conservative 4x4 owner who mostly uses his vehicle for long overland expeditions, and everything he fits to it must serve a purpose and do it reliably.
We will be sponsoring sports like motocross, rally racing and off-road events like rock-crawling and obstacle events.
We are also going to have a large pressence at 4x4 trade shows with girls handing out the freebies. Dressed only in clothing displaying this logo.
We are after a logo and icon with a similar feeling and recognisability to the likes of Monster Energy, Red Bull and then Rockstar Energy.
To see them go to:
Although we are a 4x4 shopping site and not a energy drink company, we are going to market our site just as boldly as these brands, and we hope to take the market by storm.
The logo colors must also be as stricking as the brands named above. I do like black as the background color, but that is not a definite as the red bull has a blue background and it looks good, so it is again open for you. Like the Monster energy sponsored stuff that is painted black with the green logo on it, or the Red Bull sponsored stuff that is silver and blue with the red and yellow logo on it. We are going to use our logo in a similar way like for instance painting our marketing vehicles with the background color and the sticking the stricking yet simple logo on it which must then be easy to see and recognise. Also as part of the huge marketing campaign, we are going to have t-shirts and hoody tops made all in the background colour you come up with and then print the logo on them, we then plan on distributing these products everywhere so that everyone sees it, and wants one. The logo must be enticing enough to lure people who see it on clothes and vehicles to go to the website.

Forget the fanciful "24." Americans should know that the nation's farmers — their livelihoods and yields in the balance — really do face frequent, ticking time-bomb situations.
Pests are capable of incredibly quick proliferation and fields often need immediate pesticide applications and can't wait; the spraying needed to be done yesterday.
So what happens if that application can't be made?
That is a serious concern following a January decision by a three-member panel of the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. Since the ruling, farmer and ag-chemical advocacy groups have been in full voice warning that U.S. agriculture is under threat.
If the court's decision is implemented, a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit must be obtained before a pesticide application is made where there could be a potential discharge of the product into a waterway.
The concerns are no reflection on agencies who would issue the permits. As efficient as state agriculture-related agencies might be, what farmer wants to bet the needed paperwork would be sorted and permission would arrive in time to spare yield?
(For more, see http://deltafarmpress.com/news/laws-column-0514/index.html)
Add the nation's aerial applicator industry to those worried about the development.
"If this holds and we have to follow through, it'll take an enormous effort," says Mark Hartz, a pilot and co-owner of Grand Prairie Dusters in Almyra, Ark. To make timely applications, "the hoops we'll be required to jump through will be insurmountable and will effectively render late any applications inside the area needing it. This will hit agriculture and the timber industry hard."
Take a second and think about what that could mean, Hartz suggests. "Just in Arkansas, we have an incredible number of rivers, sloughs, little streams and bayous that could fall under that regulatory umbrella. This could bring any agricultural operation that depends on crop protection products to a standstill."
The court, acting on a suit brought by environmental groups, didn't think out the consequences of such permit requirements, say those opposed to the ruling.
"Basically what occurred is the EPA had a rule that was a part of the Clean Water Act," says Andrew Moore, executive director of the National Agricultural Aviation Association (NAAA). The "EPA had gone through the regulatory process and (it wouldn't) require NPDES permits. They said those permits aren't required for pesticide applications made over, or near, water."
After the court's January decision essentially nullified the EPA rule, "we're now at the stage where, 'Hey, these permits may be required under the Clean Water Act.' That means there's a risk that every single pesticide application, regardless of the method applied — ground, air, chemigation — would need permits."
Moore agrees that if the court ruling sticks, it would "hamstring" applicators. He then has a quick revision. Actually "'hamstring' isn't a big enough word. It would horrible for agriculture. There's an (emergency) component to applications. Pest infestations must be curbed quickly. If not done quickly, insect populations can (boom) overnight."
If applicators have to go through a bureaucratic process in order to get the permits, "not only could it take days but, in some cases, perhaps years. In addition, there will be a new set of fees to obtain them along with penalties if you don't."
As a result, agriculture collectively has pushed back against the decision. "There's a big effort to get the Sixth Circuit Court to rehear the case. This is an issue that, at least in D.C. agricultural circles, is very big and has seen a lot of effort."
The NAAA filed a brief with the court — an amicus curiae — requesting a rehearing. That was in conjunction with many litigants in the case such as CropLife America, which represents the crop protection product manufacturers, the American Farm Bureau Federation, the American Forest and Paper Association and others.
Currently, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals is considering a rehearing. This time around, however, agricultural parties are asking for the full court to hear arguments, not just the three-member panel.
Is Moore expecting a response this summer or next fall?
"That's a good question. The unfortunate (thing) with our efforts was that we weren't able to convince EPA to also request a rehearing. They're staying neutral. That's where there are some new (Obama) administration implications, although this isn't a rule the Obama administration is proposing. They've just stayed quiet on it. We were disappointed they didn't weigh in and request a rehearing."
If the court doesn't rehear the case, the Obama administration has asked that the decision be stayed for two years. That would allow time for the EPA to develop the regulations and a process in which to issue the permits, says Moore.
Hartz says the ruling is "typical of the common sense that regulators, or the judicial system, seems to lack."
In northeast Arkansas, Dennie Stokes — owner/operator of Stokes Flying Service outside Parkin, Ark. — says he understands the original intent and goal of the court's ruling. "But what I can't figure is how they — the courts and some of the agencies involved — can do these things without understanding the impact on agriculture. I don't think they know what this will entail and how it will affect agriculture."
With much of the Mid-South's crops late and fields only now drying down after a series of spring deluges, the "current situation is a perfect example of how important timely applications are. And they want to delay applications even more waiting for permits?
"If this goes down verbatim, I think it'll harm the whole agricultural industry," says Stokes. If new permitting regulations are enacted, "we won't be capable of farming like we are now. That's how it is."
Wind energy
Wind energy turbines are another issue that's impacting the nation's aerial applicators.
"We're concerned about the placement of wind energy turbines in agriculture-based land," says Moore. "There's a growing interest in renewable energy."
Unfortunately, too often "the planning, the placement of the wind energy towers doesn't take into consideration crop protection product applications by air."
In the Midwest and other areas where the towers are going up in large numbers, "it's having an effect not only on (aerial applicators') safety but the ability to treat certain land. (The towers) are literally going up right in the middle of farmland."
Do the farmers putting up the turbines realize this could be a problem beforehand? Or only after?
"Well, there's a lot of education going on. It's up to the applicators, really, to make sure their farmers know this.
"Sometimes there's misinformation from the wind energy folks — 'oh, it's no problem. We've talked to pilots and they're not going to have trouble.' Well, (the result) is some people won't have their land sprayed until it's too late."

When we first learned that our school was on the Archdiocesan list to be closed and/or merged in January 2012, we were shocked.
At the time, we were completely happy with every aspect of our school. We were comfortable. We knew that our boys were learning and thriving, and we couldn't imagine starting over somewhere else.
It would mean new teachers, new surroundings, new uniforms, and a whole new set of friends. On top of all that, our family was in the process of moving. The safe and secure world that our boys knew was now in complete transition.
The months ahead were filled with questions, web searches, appointments, open houses and interviews! And there was certainly no shortage of great schools from which to choose.
When it came down to making a decision, though, OMC made us feel like we were already a part of their family. That was very important to us. From our first meeting with Mrs. Lasek and Mr. Hagy, we felt at ease. They were warm and understanding of our situation, and they helped make our transition as easy as possible.
We chose OMC for so many reasons. The strong academic curriculum and class size were important to us. The proximity to where our new home would be was also attractive. We found OMC's code of courtesy to be reflective of our desire to teach our children to respect others.
But more than anything, we felt a sense of community and closeness that was familiar to us. We felt it when we met the teachers and talked to other parents. We felt it while attending OMC's masses. The school and parish exuded a sense of pride at every event we attended. It completely affirmed that we had made the right decision for our family in selecting OMC as our new school.
We are now happily settled at OMC, and our sons – entering third grade, first grade and pre-kindergarten – are having a wonderful experience. They have met new friends and are enjoying their new teachers and classes. We are excited to be a part of the OMC family.

I'm in Kansas City for a school competition (Skills USA), which is great so far. Four of my students are competing on the national level after winning the state competition in both media categories (teams of two students each). Good kids, and it's great to be out here with them along with another teacher.
So, I actually had a few hours this morning and set out to run a few miles. Wanted to take it slow and easy which was aided by several factors: 1) No idea where I was running and constantly slowed and stopped to make route decisions. 2) Was in the Vibram Five Fingers. 3) Sore quads still from the Mt. Washington speed hike. Very hot out, mid 80s and somewhat humid, but it oddly felt rather pleasant.
Also, the Skills USA national competition is a huge event. Overwhelmingly big, with a lot going on. Turns out one of the extra things they have going on is a 5K race on Friday, so I went ahead and registered. Not going to race it hard, but it'll be fun nonetheless.
Ran 4.7 miles @ 10:12/mile pace.
Paved roads and some trails.
Slightly hilly.
Mid 80s, sunny, humid.
Shorts, short sleeved shirt.

The Catholic Church in the US made the front-page many times in 2012. With a presidential election in November, it was no surprise that many of the stories that grabbed our attention related to politics. I asked a group of Catholics—priests, nonprofit heads, campus ministers, students, writers, politicians, and average churchgoers—what the biggest stories were in 2012. Below, in no particular order, are sixteen big stories from 2012. But it's not everything. What would you add? Tell us in the comments section.
1. Barack Obama wins the Catholic vote—again
Despite strong pressure from some Catholic bishops to encourage their flocks to abstain from voting for the president, Obama captures the Catholic vote 52%-45%, thanks in large part to the overwhelming support the president received from Latinos. Read more.
2. Both candidates for VP are Catholic
For the first time in our nation's history, both nominees for the Vice Presidency are Roman Catholics. Read more.
3. "Nuns on the Bus" speak up for the poor
A group of liberal, social justice oriented nuns made headlines as they traveled across the country on a bus to protest budget cuts that would hurt the poor. Read more.
4. Cardinal Dolan prays at RNC, and then DNC, too
New York's Cardinal Timothy Dolan angered some on the Catholic left when he accepted a speaking role at the Republican National Convention. He then agreed to pray at the Democratic Convention as well. Though similar, Dolan highlighted different themes in each prayer. Read more.

Voters in Massachusetts were given an opportunity to legalize physician-assisted suicide, but a broad coalition led, in part, by O'Malley convinced them to reject the ballot question. Read more.
8. Same-sex marriage wins out over bishops' objections
Bishops in four states lobbied against same-sex marriage initiatives, but voters rejected their pleas, passing same-sex marriage in Maine, Maryland, Washington state, and tossing out an amendment in Minnesota that would have prohibited it. Bishops insist they won't change stance or tactics. A confirmation student in Minnesota who expressed support for same-sex marriage on Facebook was asked to leave the program. Read more.
9. Moderate and progressive bishops take a stand at USCCB meetings
Though the whole crop of US bishops have been written off by some as conservatives, some of the remaining moderate voices took a stand at the USCCB fall meetings, rejecting an economic letter that, they said, didn't go far enough in voicing concern for the poor. Read more.
10. Catholic entities sue Obama Administration over HHS mandate
Over 40 Catholic institutions, including hospitals, dioceses and universities, filed lawsuits against the Obama Administration in an effort to receive an exemption from government-mandated employer-based health insurance for contraception coverage. Read more.

Definition: Substandard Comparative of Bad or Ill
"Is worser a word? My 10yr old son and ex husband say's it's not and I really don't want them to be right. It's in the song welcome to the jungle."
—User Comment on "Worser," Merriam-Webster.com
Worser may indeed be a word to be frowned upon, but that does not mean that it is not a word. It has been in regular use in English since the end of the 15th century, and may be found in the writing of some of our most esteemed authors:
I cannot hate thee worser than I do, if thou again say "yes."
—William Shakespeare, Antony and Cleopatra, 1623
Much less all which the tempted worser part have held…
—Richard Baxter, Preservatives against Melancholy and Over-much Sorrow, 1716
"Worser than that," roared the fat boy, in the old lady's ear.
—Charles Dickens, The Pickwick Papers, 1836

Cotton farmers will do well not to wait on 85-cent cotton to price a good portion of their 2010 crop. In fact, they probably should be aggressively pricing at 75 cents, says O.A. Cleveland, cotton marketing specialist and professor emeritus, Mississippi State University.
Cleveland, speaking at the recent Bayer CropSciences 2010 Southwest Cotton Technology Seminar in San Antonio, Texas, said cotton prices could hit 80 cents. "But it's hard to see how we can get to 85 cents."
He said prices have "excellent support at 69 cents. I don't think it will go below that and at 78 cents to 79 cents we see some pretty good overhead resistance."
He said price range for the 2010 crop likely would hold between 69 cents and 79 cents, and mostly at 74 cents and higher. "You know how much it costs to grow cotton and to harvest it, so if you see some profit at 69 cents you might sell some, not the whole farm. But when cotton gets to 75 cents you need to get aggressive."
Cleveland said nearby futures are trending higher than longer futures. "Mills are in a considerable shortage and need cotton now," he said. If that demand holds, he expects price will attract more acres.
Part of the reason for improved cotton prices is an improving economy, although "we're not out of the woods yet," Cleveland said. He said strong consumption numbers from China, Viet Nam and Bangladesh point to a better year for cotton.
"The U.S. domestic off-take is also stronger than expected," he said. "We will take stocks down more in 2010, not just in the United States but worldwide."
He said a 16 million-bale U.S. crop could mean a 3.3 million-bale ending stocks. The stocks to use ratio is 21 percent, a figure he said in the past has meant dollar cotton. "I'm not predicting that," he said.
But supply and demand fundamentals support better cotton prices. Global consumption the last four years has been high and production has not been equal to that increase. Mills had to tap carryover stocks to make up the difference. "The world needs more U.S. cotton, but farmers will not produce more without better prices."
He said China remains the catalyst. "China is the big boy since increasing production in 2000." China switched gears last year. "They began to worry about the food cycle, increased grain acreage and cut back on cotton."
Cleveland said China produces about 35 million bales of cotton annually and consumes 45 million. "That leaves a 10 million-bale market."
Increased production worldwide this year will help fill some gaps, but not enough, Cleveland said, to make production exceed consumption. He anticipates a 10 percent increase in global cotton production in 2010. The United States will increase by 12 percent, led by Texas producers. He anticipates Texas adding 500,000 bales to 2009 production level.
Much of Texas is cotton country, he said. "West Texas is made for cotton. Even in dryland areas, cotton is the best option." He said winter rains across most of the Southwest also will encourage cotton acreage.
He expects the Southeast to increase as well but says Mississippi may waiver between cotton and soybeans with bean prices still high. He said much of the Delta will plant more cotton as they remember grain harvest problems last year and recall the times cotton saved them.
He said California and Arizona expect acreage increases, as well. "And if we see prices above 78 cents, we'll see more cotton."
Cleveland said India, the second largest cotton producer, typically grows 25 million to 27 million bales annually and he expects production to be up this year. Significant production increases, however, may not be likely. India's recent production improvements came from adoption of transgenic cotton, especially Bt varieties, and Indian farmers have put that technology to work on about all their productive acres.
Even with improved production, increased acreage and favorable weather, Cleveland doesn't expect worldwide cotton production to hit 100 million bales any time soon. He said ending stocks from the 2009 marketing year, which ends in July 2010, will show a significant drop. "That tells us we should expect higher prices. As ending stocks go down, prices go up."
He said the combination of improving fundamentals, with consumption still exceeding production and world ending stocks coming down, encourages higher prices. He said the value of the dollar also favors higher cotton prices. "When the dollar goes down, cotton prices go up; when the dollar goes up, cotton prices go down."
Cleveland said some of the money investors took out of the stock market and invested in commodities will go back to stocks, taking some of the volatility out of commodity prices. "But we've had a volatile market since January and we will still see some volatility as we get the 2010 crop in the ground."
Cleveland said other commodities will continue to compete for acreage. "But it's a great time to plant cotton."

One day I was in my car having just come out of the Kroger store. I looked up, and there was Cathy walking into the Store where I had just been. My dick and heart Jumped. I had thought about her many times, and here she was just waiting for me to talk to her. Cathy is now about 46 years old, blonde, and average in height, still has an awesome sexy body, and looks like she has not aged one day.
A few minutes later, she came out, and I got out of my car to meet her. I caught up to her at her car, and said, "Excuse me please, is your name Cathy? "
She looked surprised see me as I thought she might be, she answered yes and you are Don!
I said yes I am and my god you look fantastic.
We talked for a bit, and she told me about her children and her life in general. I listened as she brought me up to speed.
But I could tell she was on a schedule and she asked me where I was living now, and I told her just down the street some not far away at all. She said her office was on the next street over and that we should get together for coffee or lunch. I agreed and I gave her my number saying to her that I normally go to lunch from 1 -2 and any day would be fine.
She said that a weekday may be hard to do, but asked about a Saturday, if that would work. I said that would be fine I am off on Saturdays;
She smiled and got in her car and I turned and walked to mine.
Thinking that I may never get that phone call, but praying I do.
Well today was a Wednesday and there was a chance that she may call for a lunch date for Saturday. About 3pm on Thursday I have a call put through to my office and it is Cathy. She says she will be in town Saturday and can have lunch about 1pm. I said Great, and we agreed on a Mexican place we both knew of, very public, but off the main street.
As I am still married and have not approached my wife about having lunch with an old lover, so that was a great Idea.
I arrived early at the Restaurant and found a corner both so we both could sit and see who was coming and going.
At straight up 1pm here comes Cathy walking in the door; I see she is dressed like a model. And looks beautiful and sexy. She has on a low with a pair of black boots that had a little 3 inch heel that really set off her amazing ass.
She may have been 46, but she sure dressed and looked the same as she did 15 years ago.
I stood as she entered the door hoping she would see me, and she did and smiled at me. A smile that has always started in my heart then ended up in my pants, just as sexy as before.
I spoke first and asked her what she wanted to drink and she said they had great Cosmo's her and that would be fine as I ordered a draft beer.
Things were some what awkward and I broke the ice by telling her that I had not worked up the nerve yet to tell my Wife that I had bumped into an old flame at Kroger. I told her that she would not understand and would more than likely make a huge scene. She said she understood and had told her husband about us meeting. And that he was trusting and comfortable with their marriage. She said that they had discussed our affair many times and even some of the finer points of some of our sexual adventures.
I said really, and she said oh yea, that her husband was very open minded and very trusting.
I thought that was great, as I wish I had that in my marriage.
"We really had some fun, didn't we?" I asked.
She nodded.
"I've thought of you often," I said. "The sex we had was amazing. I don't know if I'll ever be with anyone I would enjoy as much."
She seemed to like that, and she said, "It was good, that's true."
I told her that "I some times get horny just thinking about it,"
"I've even had a recurring fantasy. Would you like to hear about," I asked, and she said she would.
"Well, in this fantasy, we are alone and we are talking. Of course, the conversation turns to sex, as it would in a sexual fantasy." She laughed, "Finally, you tell me you want me to eat your pussy. You always loved the way I ate your pussy, We both get naked, and the rest is sort of a blur."
"Sounds like fun, you could sure eat pussy with the best, I have always said that you were by far the best pussy eater I ever had" she said.
As we sat and talked about our times together we ended up moving closer and closer to each other, we had ordered our lunch and really just picked and ate at it. We must of not been hungry for food.
Cathy told me how her and her husband had talked and revisited a lot of our sexual experiences and how much fun it would be to have a threesome back then with what we know now.
She then said it would be a highlight of their marriage to do something like that.
"Would you like to make it happen?" I asked.
"Well, I would," she replied,
"Great me too," I said, "so you say your husband knows everything about us?
She said, "Yes, Everything, I mean everything"
"Wow that is wonderful," I challenged. "What did he say?"
"Well, I told him about us and all the things we did and the wild sex we had," she said.
"How did he react?"
"Tom loved it," she whispered.
"Really? What do you mean?"
"When I told him how big your cock was it really seemed to turn him on."
"I've heard of that," I said. "In fact, you would think that being with two women is the most common fantasy among married men, but in fact it's watching your wife making love to someone with a really big dick, even though mine's not that big. Is it?"
"It's not any bigger than his if any at all."
"So you have discussed this since we met the other day, about us all fucking?" I asked.
"Oh, yes. In fact it's his favorite fantasy."
"He wants to have a threesome with me and you."
"Have you ever had a threesome at all?" I asked.
"No," she answered. "The right guy has never come along, My Husband has had several "
" I am sure he will love it," she said, and I could tell this conversation was really turning her on. It was me, too. My cock was ready to jump out of my pants. "He's at home. Would you like me to call him?"
"Sure," I said, but I was a little worried. After all, he might just want to keep this in the realm of fantasy.
She took out her cell phone and called him, what I heard from one side of the conversation was, "Yes he is here and would like to come over for a while" "Yes I would love to do that" "Ok, be there shortly, I love you" then she said, "OK. Let's go. He's game."
"Are you sure?
"Sure I'm sure," she said nodding. "This ought to be fun. Follow me in your car."
We had only barely touched our lunch and drank most of our drink. I paid the bill while making small talk, and thinking to myself, I am about to have a threesome with an old flame and her husband.
When we got to their house, we went in through the garage. Tom came down the stairs and shook my hand as Cathy introduced us. "Nice to meet you," he said. "I've heard a lot about you."
"All good, I hope" "Yes, indeed," he answered, "very good. Cathy seems to really have enjoyed your time together."
"You're not angry?"
"Oh no, before my time, actually I am somewhat jealous that I was not there to witness first hand, to bad too," he the said, "she was just having fun is all. Why don't you go have a seat in the living room, and I'll get us some drinks."
As I was sitting on the couch, Cathy came in wearing sexy black fish net lingerie that really turned me on. "Do you like it," she asked.
"Hell yes," I replied, enthusiastically. "You look beautiful."
Tom brought our drinks in and said, he needed to turn the water off outside that he would be right back. And to not get started with our him
"Thank you," she said coming over and sitting next to me. She bent to me, and we kissed passionately. She pushed her tongue into my mouth, and let out a little moan as I sucked on it. I love sucking on tongues. It's just so hot to me.
Happening to glance up, I noticed that Tom was back and sitting in a chair across the room watching us. He was rubbing his cock through his pants, which was, to me, an obvious sign of approval.
Cathy stroked my cock through my pants with her fingernails, which always turn me on. I stood, and began to undress. As soon as I had my pants off, I put My cock in front of her. Sitting on the couch, she began to suck my cock with gusto. Without taking a break, she motioned for tom to come sit next to her. He came over and took her top off throwing it to the floor. I was holding on to her shoulders, and I looked down to see him, naked, rubbing her pussy with his hand. Her legs spread, and I realized that these were crotch-less panties.
As I watched Cathy suck my cock, I saw Tom kiss her on the cheek. She surprised me by taking my dick out of her mouth and presenting it to him. At this point, I was so horny, and in such a daze that I would have done just about anything.
Poking his tongue out, he gave me a few little licks. "Go ahead," Cathy encouraged him. "You know you want to, and it would really turn me on. If you won't do it for yourself, will you do it for me? I really want to see this. Isn't it big? It's just like I told you, and it's so tasty." The whole time she was talking to him, she was rubbing his cock.
She must have been convincing, because before I knew it, my dick was almost entirely in his mouth. It felt great, but I wanted pussy. I pulled back, a string of pre-cum linking my dick to Tom's mouth, and said, "Cathy, I want to fuck you."
She lay back on the floor and opened her legs wide. I knelt before her, and took hold of my swollen prick. It was harder than I remember it being in some time, and it was virtually leaking a stream of pre-cum. I bent down and gave her a few licks for moisture, but it wasn't necessary. She was soaked already.
I entered her slowly, and she began to cum immediately. She thrashed and yelled and became a wild woman. I slowed down for a moment, because I knew I was about to explode. Sure enough, I came. It was forceful, and I nearly lost my balance.
As she lay there kissing Tom, I rolled off her and to the side. I happened to glance up to see her pushing his head down to her saturated cunt. He went willingly, though, and soon he had her in the throws of another orgasm. She began to tell him to stop, that it was too much, and I guess he saw this as his cue to enter her. He pounded her hot wet pussy for at least 10 minutes, and came violently, he collapsed on top of her and the three of us lay there exhausted.
Not much more happened after that. I dressed and left after about 15 minutes. We have hooked up a few more times, and I have to say, this is some of the best sex I have ever had.

Food and beer don't get much fresher and more local than at Standing Stone Brewing Co. in Ashland.
This spring, the brew pub long known for its environmentally responsible approach rolled out an updated menu featuring beef, chicken, eggs and other ingredients from Standing Stone's farm roughly one mile away from the pub at 101 Oak St.
Look for the "one-mile" designation on the menu to know which products are fresh off the farm, and expect to see the menu change with the seasons to reflect what's ripe and ready right now.
My husband and I headed to Standing Stone last weekend to check out the new menu and soak up some sunshine on the pub's perfectly pleasant patio.
I was pleased to see plenty of past favorites — black bean nachos, garlic fries, sweet potato curry fries, goat cheese fondue, fish and chips, wild-caught salmon. An evolving selection of pizzas and sandwiches features both classics (a margharita and a Reuben) and new options (a quinoa nut burger and a green apple, spinach, blue cheese and honey pizza).
We zeroed in on the new items, starting with deep-fried Brussels sprouts for $7. They are one of my husband's favorite vegetables, but we had never had them deep fried. The fryer turned the outer leaves crisp and black, giving them a hint of bitterness, while the heart cooked to a mellow-tasting, bright-green tenderness. Basil aioli served on the side provided a tasty accent.
Kim chi is another dish in the cabbage family that my husband can't pass up, so we ordered a $3 side of house-fermented kimchi. Standing Stone adjusts its recipe to feature seasonal vegetables. This batch featured classic napa cabbage, shredded carrots and plenty of ginger, creating a zippy dish topped with a sprig of cilantro and a sprinkling of black sesame seeds.
To get a true taste of the farm, I ordered adobo chicken tacos off the daily specials list for $15, while my husband opted for a cheeseburger that is highlighted on the regular menu for $10.
The hand-formed burger was perfectly cooked, with a crusty char outside and a juicy interior. The toasted bun was tender with a hint of buttery crunch. But even with the subtly flavorful smoked tomato relish and rich Rogue Creamery cheddar made with a hint of Standing Stone stout, these quality components came together in a slightly bland burger. Perhaps he unfairly expected more intense flavor from grass-fed beef presented so simply, but he jealously eyed a barbecued burger, glistening with sauce and piled high with fried onion straws, delivered to a neighboring table. Maybe next time he should try the black and blue burger, which features a spicy chili rub, blue cheese, bacon and mayonnaise — no shortage of flavor there, I bet.
My adobo chicken tacos were nicely spiced, and the meat from the heritage-breed chickens Standing Stone raises on its farm definitely has a depth of flavor lacking in fast-grown, cage-bound birds raised for mass consumption. The lean and tasty meat requires careful treatment in the kitchen so it doesn't end up too chewy. With only one tough sliver of meat in three plump tacos, the chef did quite well.
The tacos also included sauteed red pepper and onion, a thick wedge of avocado and an artistic drizzle of sour cream. On the side were savory black bean chili, a mound of savory slaw and rosy slices of pickled radishes, which offered a piquant palate cleanser.
We paired our meals with I Heart Oregon pale ale, which is made from all Oregon-grown ingredients, including hops from Ashland's own Alpha Beta Hop Farm and Silverton's Goschie Farms, which is certified Salmon Safe for its efforts to protect water quality. Sporting a pale golden color, balanced bitterness and a hint of citrus, it especially complemented the tacos.
Standing Stone's $5 beer sampler is an excellent way to try a 2.5-ounce taste of everything they have on tap. The day we visited, that was six brews, running the gamut from golden and pale ales to hearty stout infused with Noble Coffee, but a new summer seasonal — blackberry wheat beer — will be tapped soon.
If this is what sustainability tastes like, I'll have another helping.

POSTED: Sep 18, 2013 3:21 PM ET
LJUBLJANA, Slovenia (AP) — Two-time defending champion Spain routed Serbia 90-60 on Wednesday to reach the semifinals of the European basketball championship.
Point guard Sergio Rodriguez scored 22 points and forward Rudy Fernandez went 4-for-4 from the 3-point range in adding 19 for Spain, which is seeking to become the first team to win three straight European titles since Yugoslavia in the 1970s.
Spain led by as many as 40 points and made 13 of 25 attempts from beyond the arc.
"It was our best game of the tournament so far," Spain coach Juan Orenga said. "Our goal is to grow during the tournament and win the gold medal."
Spain had struggled through the first two rounds, losing three of eight games. But it may have been using its best for the really important games.
"We played aggressive, it was time to show everybody what we can do," Spain point guard and Minnesota Timberwolves' Ricky Rubio said.
Spain caught Serbia cold at the start and quickly pulled away. The shot abandoned Serbia, which went 1-for-11 from the field in the first quarter.
"Our hands were just tied. Most of us had never played against a rival so strong as Spain," Serbia guard Nemanja Nedovic said. "They got a big lead early."
By the time Serbia's defense began to show signs of life, Spain had a comfortable double-digit lead and finished the first quarter 16 points up.
"We prepared very seriously for this game, we knew we had to play with energy from the start," said Rubio, who had six rebounds, six assists and four steals to go with five points.
Rodriguez made a 3-point play, Serbia turned the ball over and Marc Gasol hit a jumper and put Spain up by 23. The lead grew to 43-17 when Fernando San Emeterio made another jumper.
Pablo Aguilar nailed a 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer to leave Spain ahead 48-23.
It took Serbia 4:30 minutes to score its first points of the third quarter, but soon it was 69-29 and a 40-point game as Spain put on a basketball clinic for the tournament's youngest team.
"It was a shame how we played today," said Serbia's captain Nenad Krstic, who only played 13 minutes after being double-teamed by the aggressive Spanish defense. "Usually our outside shooters can compensate, but we didn't have our shot.
"We are a young team and we certainly lacked experience today."

Aulterra Neutralizer
Article by Owen Hammer | | Published: 11.18.06
The Aulterra Company sells a product called a "Neutralizer" which they claim protects the user from cancer-causing radio waves emitted by cellular phones and other appliances.
This product - generally called an "Aulterra" - is given away as a premium to contributors during fundraising on a Los Angeles area listener supported radio station. During the fundraiser, the inventor was interviewed, and he claims to have discovered the special mineral used in the device while experiencing "a trance." [1] Many aspects of the story sounded suspiciously like alternative medicine or pseudoscience terminology. One of the IIG member/volunteers was working the phones during this particular fundraiser, and another IIG investigation was born.
The original idea was to prove to the radio station administrators that they should separate themselves from this product because it discredited the station. Subsequently, it just seemed like a better idea to try to prove that the manufacturers were making fraudulent claims, and should be closed down.
The IIG obtained a set of the Aulterra devices. They turned out to be little round, flat stickers – in other words wholly unimpressive. Members of the IIG who are familiar with physics, cellular technology and research specialists worked on various aspects of research into the background of risk associated with cellular telephones, into Aulterra's corporate structure in particular, into similar products, and into devising experiments to test the Aulterra device and its claims.
While there was initially talk of obtaining a Faraday Cage to test whether the stickers had any effect on radio waves, members of the Aulterra Committee devised a much simpler experiment that exploited the relationship between microwaves and measurable heat. Remember, microwaves are similar to the radio waves associated with cellular phones, and microwave ovens are among the appliances from which Aulterra claims to protect consumers. Using this logic, an experiment was conducted in the CFI-West kitchen which mysteriously contains a plaque reading "IIG lab."
Click here for the complete description of this experiment.
Having conducted our own experiment, the investigation took a new turn when one of our investigators discovered that the FTC has shut down businesses in the past that have made claims similar to those of Aulterra. The Lead Investigator filled in the FTC online complaint form, and received the following response:
April 30, 2007
Re: FTC Ref. No. 10527277
Dear Wendy Hughes:
Thank you for recent correspondence. The Federal Trade Commission acts in the public interest to stop business practices that violate the laws it enforces. Letters from consumers and businesses are very important to the work of the Commission. They are often the first indication of a problem in the marketplace and may provide the initial evidence to begin an investigation. The Commission does not resolve individual complaints. The Commission can, however, act when it sees a pattern of possible violations developing.
The information you have provided will be recorded in our complaint retention system. This computerized system enables us to identify questionable business practices that are generating numerous complaints and may be in violation of the law.
Thank you for providing information that may be used to develop or support Commission enforcement initiatives.
Sincerely yours,
Consumer Response Center
Miracle Health Claims: Add a Dose of Skepticism (HEA-07)
A thorough and sympathetic review of the interaction of people's susceptibility to fraudulent claims, including the following:
How to Spot False Claims
When evaluating health-related claims, be skeptical. If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Here are some signs of a fraudulent claim:
- Statements that the product is a quick and effective cure-all or diagnostic tool for a wide variety of ailments. For example: "Extremely beneficial in the treatment of rheumatism, arthritis, infections, prostate problems, ulcers, cancer, heart trouble, hardening of the arteries and more."
- Statements that suggest the product can treat or cure diseases. For example: "shrinks tumors" or "cures impotency."
- Promotions that use words like "scientific breakthrough," "miraculous cure," "exclusive product," "secret ingredient" or "ancient remedy." For example: "A revolutionary innovation formulated by using proven principles of natural health-based medical science."
- Text that uses impressive-sounding terms like these for a weight-loss product: "hunger stimulation point" and "thermogenesis."
- Undocumented case histories or personal testimonials by consumers or doctors claiming amazing results. For example: "My husband has Alzheimer['s disease]. He began eating a teaspoonful of this product each day. And now in just 22 days he mowed the grass, cleaned out the garage, weeded the flower beds and we take our morning walk again."
- Limited availability and advance payment requirements. For example: "Hurry. This offer will not last. Send us a check now to reserve your supply."
- Promises of no-risk "money-back guarantees." For example: "If after 30 days you have not lost at least 4 pounds each week, your uncashed check will be returned to you."
An excellent summary of BS detection techniques.
A similar complaint was submitted to the USPS because sending a phony device through the mail constitutes mail fraud.
We are awaiting further replies from the agencies, and we will continue to be vigilant in these matters.
It is unknown if the radio station still associates itself with Aulterra.
Wendy Hughes, the leader of this inquiry, has decided that it's time to do the thing Skeptics never want to do – take legal action. Since the FTC has gone after similar products, we have sent a letter to the FTC asking them to consider prosecuting the Aulterra Company. Furthermore, we are asking skeptics to contact their legislators and urge them to look into the matter. Hey, if you're reading this, you're probably a skeptic! Please download this sample letter and consider sending it, or a similar letter to your representatives.

Yesterday I switched back from nouveau to nvidia and looked at this page to find that the information is outdated with xorg 1.8 in our main repo. Is it OK to just delete old information and replace it with information that is relevant to current setups, or do we need to add another subchapter titled 'xorg18' to every title in the wiki? --Zenlord 10:45, 26 August 2010 (EDT)
I tried to fix up the dual monitor section regarding Nvidia...but I just noticed that there is squat in this entry regarding Intel...or ATi. Could someone who has a working Intel/ATi dual head setup add info? --Skripka 15:03, 21 August 2010 (EDT)
I attempted to clean up this wiki entry. I removed a lot of items from the troubleshooting as they were outdated or invalid to the current state of Xorg on Arch. If you feel and of these should be put back please rewrite the section using updated information. --Pyther 18:53, 9 April 2010 (EDT)
The current zapping technique doesn't seem to work anymore. Maybe adding this instead ?
Section "ServerFlags" Option "DontZap" "false" EndSection
Added some problems people may encounter after the mouse driver and auto protocol no longer detects mousepads/trackerpads fully, in the trouble shooting section. they could go in the synaptics section. but when people search for problems related to the mousepad/trackerpad and xorg they may not know about the synaptics driver.
I added a paragraph about switching between different layouts. I'm not sure that it should really go in this article but I think it needs to be on the wiki somewhere. Finding out how to it by searching the web or different forums is a bit hard at this point. Frood 09:28, 10 January 2008 (EST)
Most links of example xorg.conf are broken. They should either be relinked or removed. Cilyan 13:31, 05 August 2008 (EST)
The Beginner's Guide Install X section recommends installing libgl before installing xorg when using an open source video driver. If it's still good advice, this article needs to include a mention. UNIVAC 18:53, 24 September 2009 (EDT)
Xorg -configure
The command automatically generates a default xorg.conf.new file in the current directory. You can check it by:
The xorg.conf.new file is not created in the current directory, it is created in $HOME.
- Changed it. Gog 21:55, 16 October 2009 (EDT)
--- A Note On Ctrl-Alt-Backspace
Since the original forum thread is now closed http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=73064, I thought it pertinent to bring this up here. Mine is 'uname -a': 2.6.32-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jan 19 06:08:04 UTC 2010 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.70GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux. Using XFCE 4.6 with GDM and Xorg device hotplugging. I tried the suggestions for systemwide enabling of the keybindings by making the mentioned changes in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi . But it did not work. Inspite of restarting the hal daemon and X. And a complete restart as well. I was able to apply the per-user setting suggested though: setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp and it works great. All I had to do for it to apply to any future sessions was to goto XFCE Menu>Settings>Session And Startup>Application Autostart>Add and make the appropriate entry. This is an easy way to create a working .desktop entry in the ~/.config/autostart/ folder. ( erythrocyte Sat Jan 30 07:38:10 IST 2010 )
Disabling mousekeys
I added Disable mousekeys permanently but I am not sure if this is the best way to go about disabling the mousekeys, if anyone know a better way, please edit. Lordmetroid 10:44, 3 February 2010 (EST)
From the Xorg.0.log file
Config from X.org.log doesn't work for me, startx fails. This from X -configure works.
mention synaptics
Woudln't it be usefull to mention xf86-input-synaptics as a common driver, this is the touchpad driver. About every notebook user will need this driver.
@this: perhaps we should provide a way to list all driver packages and a way to determine what package xorg requires, usually found in the xorg log in case of xorg fail. This would mean we can also get rid of this suggestion in the article:
Udev should be capable of detecting your hardware without problems. Just in case there should be a problem, you could install the whole xorg-input-drivers group.
that, to me, is a bad suggestion. --stefanwilkens 05:59, 9 September 2010 (EDT)
Is Xnest standard install pulled along when installing X ? shouldn't we point to:
#pacman -S xorg-server-xnest
