Let America Vote PAC Endorses Gubernatorial Candidates in New Jersey, Virginia and Georgia
Kansas City, MO — Let America Vote PAC today endorsed voting rights champions in the upcoming gubernatorial contests in New Jersey, Virginia and Georgia. In the New Jersey election this November, Let America Vote PAC will support Phil Murphy. Let America Vote PAC will support Dr. Ralph Northam, the state's current Lt. Governor, in the Virginia race for governor this November. Let America Vote PAC also is making its first endorsement for the 2018 election, supporting State Representative Stacey Abrams in the election for Georgia governor.
Let America Vote President Jason Kander made the following statements on each of the endorsed candidates.
On Phil Murphy:
"Phil Murphy knows that our democracy is stronger when more people participate. Chris Christie has consistently vetoed bills that would make voting more accessible in New Jersey like automatic voter registration, online voter registration and in-person early voting. As governor, Phil's leadership on these common sense improvements to registration and voting will help all eligible New Jersey voters participate in the election process. We are proud to support Phil, and know he will make an excellent governor of New Jersey."
On Dr. Ralph Northam:
"Dr. Ralph Northam has made protecting voting rights a key part of his platform, and we need him to continue Governor McAuliffe's work fighting back against Republicans in the legislature who are trying to restrict access to the polls. Ralph has been has been a vocal leader on expanding the right to vote in Virginia, which is how I know he'll work to make sure every eligible voter in his state has their voice heard on election day. We are proud to stand by Ralph because he values the right to vote, and I know he'll do everything in his power to protect it."
On Stacey Abrams:
"Having fought against extreme voter suppression efforts in the Georgia state legislature, Representative Stacey Abrams will make an outstanding Georgia governor who makes voting rights a high priority. Stacey stood up for communities of color, people with disabilities and the elderly when Republicans pushed a strict voter ID law through the state legislature. Stacey has a long record of fighting for the rights of vulnerable Georgians, which is why we are so proud to support her candidacy."
Let America Vote launched in February 2017 to fight back against proposals across the country that make it harder for eligible voters to exercise their constitutional right to cast a ballot. Whether it's extreme identification requirements, questionable purges of voter rolls, voter intimidation, new and extreme voter registration processes, or anything that makes voting harder, Let America Vote will be there to lead the way against it. Its president is Jason Kander, the former Missouri Secretary of State.

Daniel Powell was one of the first players through MK Dons' Academy and over the next couple of weeks, he'll be keeping a close eye on a fellow graduate.
He became the Club's first Academy product to feature at a major international tournament when he played in the Three Lions' opener against Russia and he's expected to feature from the start on Thursday when they take on Wales.
"I'll definitely be watching Dele throughout the Euros," Powell told mkdons.com. "It'll be great to see how he gets on.
"We were only playing with him last year and although he was probably the best player here, it just shows we're not a million miles away from it.
"He's one of the best young players in the world at the moment and it gives us all a bit of belief here, playing at MK Dons."
He continued: "The things we saw Dele doing in training and in games here, he's doing now in the Premier League and on the international stage. It's remarkable, really!
The Dons' Academy has received a ton of praise following Alli's recent performances in the Premier League and Powell believes his fame will only help those young players currently in the Club's system.
He continued: "Fortunately I came through before Dele, so I'm not like all the future youngsters who will be compared to him – are they the next Dele or not?
"In all seriousness, it's great for them young lads to see someone like Dele go on and do what he's done."
Fancy a flutter on Euro 2016? Don't forget MK Dons will benefit from every person who signs up to Sky Bet and registers themselves as a Dons supporter - click here to register with Sky Bet!

Social distancing and other measures put in place to deal with COVID-19 mean that police have had to rapidly change the ways they think about 'contact' with the public. Technology has been at the forefront of these developments, providing multiple channels for police-public interaction without the need for physical co-presence. Some forces have launched new, or promoted existing, portals for the online reporting of 'traditional' crimes (e.g. West Midlands Police, where the public can interact with the force via a 'chatbot' called Bob-E) or launched bespoke forms for reporting non-compliance with lockdown restrictions. Forces have increasingly been resolving enquiries over the telephone instead of in person, and there has been extensive use of social media to enable the police to stay in touch with the public, and vice versa. At least one force (Derbyshire) has used drone technology to capture examples of noncompliant behaviour, shame those involved, and send a message to the wider population. Not all of these developments have been well-received. References to 'snooper forms' and a 'snoopers charter' for example, have implied something unfair or untoward about reporting on your neighbours, whilst drone use has been deemed 'sinister' and 'badly misjudged' .
Increasing technological mediation of police-public contact was a significant trend in UK policing and criminal justice before COVID-19, but it has been hastened by the need for society to function when people cannot be in physical proximity to each other. This is also a trend we can safely assume will persist once we emerge from the current restrictions – but it remains under-explored in some important ways.
The legitimacy of the police has been a theme of several academic contributions since the start of lockdown. The term is explored in different ways by Stephen Reicher and Cliff Stott, Ian Loader and Emma Williams, and by Sara Grace elsewhere in this series. At a time when public health outcomes are reliant on people complying with the restrictions, the legitimacy of those enforcing them is of central importance. We know that a sense of procedural justice, and of police legitimacy, is shaped in the encounters that people have with the police, but what happens when the police move a significant number of those encounters online, or when the police try to be 'present' in communities via social media? Drawing on our recent work together, we reflect here on the implications of the use of technology in public-police contact both in the present circumstances and for the future.
Compatible trends?
Over recent years, but particularly in recent weeks, the ways in which members of the public can contact the police have undergone significant changes. Whilst much contact pre-COVID-19 was still face-to-face, or at least person-to-person, many police organisations have introduced different types of communication technology, such as online crime reporting and answering queries, and the use of social media. Technology may also be present in face-to-face interactions, for example with body worn video cameras and mobile data terminals. As a result, the public is increasingly likely to encounter policing in ways that are 'technologically-mediated'. Whilst some of these developments have expanded due to the particular challenges of the COVID-19 crisis, it seems likely that all will remain with us in some form once mobility and socialising restrictions are lifted.
Pre-crisis, the National Police Chiefs' Council already supported this shift to technologically-mediated forms of contact, asserting that the public expect a significant online presence from police (NPCC, n.d.). In some forces, efforts to move to more 'digital ways of working' have been explicitly linked to increasing 'public confidence, participation and satisfaction' (Accenture, n.d.). However, much of this appears to be unevidenced, and relatively little is known about what the public actually wants and needs – a characteristic of 'technology-push' rather than 'user-pull' approaches to digital solutions (SOCITM, 2018).
So, whilst attention is paid to what technology can do for the police, the public side of this encounter has barely been considered. Online reporting (for example) may be particularly useful for some people or some crime types, but we do not know enough about how people experience these types of interactions to be confident that they will be of benefit to everyone, in all circumstances. We also do not know if and how these developments might affect the way people feel about, and interact with, the police.
Procedural justice and its assumptions
Popular legitimacy is central to the functioning of the police. Yet, recent technological developments have been initiated in response to technological advances at a societal level, the demands of austerity, and most recently the consequences of the global pandemic, with little regard to how they will be received by the public or what differences in reception there may be between particular 'publics'. Can we be confident that our theories of police legitimacy are future-proof when that future is heavily reliant on technologically-mediated encounters? The extent to which procedural justice is the central antecedent of legitimacy in many contexts makes this a particularly pressing question.
At the core of procedural justice theory lies the idea that people attend closely to the quality of interactions with authority figures such as police, particularly across dimensions of respect, neutrality, transparency, and 'voice'. An unexplored assumption persists within procedural justice theory is that police-public contact is face-to-face and between two humans. Technology is, however, increasingly an additional 'party' (Rabinovich-Einy and Katsh, 2014) in such encounters, and it is essential that any disruptive effects on both those interactions and the theories used to understand them are explored. We do not know whether procedural justice 'works' in the same way when police-public interaction is mediated by technology, or indeed which qualities of face-to-face interaction, if any, are necessary to maintain public confidence in the face of technological change. This is of fundamental importance to understanding whether new forms of contact, and the police actions they herald, will be viewed as legitimate by various publics.
Lessons from other contexts
Whilst one of the strengths of the procedural justice approach is its applicability across a range of contexts and demographics (Wolfe et al. 2016), the use of technology is not experienced, viewed, or accessible in the same way by all. Older service users for example may 'read off' different signals from technologically-mediated encounters than younger people (Radzinovich-Einy and Katsh, 2014). Technology may facilitate access for groups with varying requirements, e.g. the deaf community, if it is appropriately designed, but access may also be a challenge such as in remote rural areas which lack high speed internet access, or mobile phone coverage. Individuals are unlikely to share information through an online tool if they do not have confidence in the security of the system and the police (Aston et al. under review): and trust is strongly related to face-to-face engagement and relationship building (Hail, Aston and O'Neill, 2018).
The non-discriminatory potential of new technologies has been stressed (Joh 2007). Yet, we know that consistency and impartiality are only two of the significant antecedents of a procedurally just experience: more human qualities, such as politeness, respect and voice are also important. As Terpstra et al. point out, new processes and systems often do not 'take into account that many citizens have the emotional need to tell their story in person' (2019: 9), while Bowling and Iyer (2019: 152) describe the 'craft' skills of 'human judgement and adaptability … attentiveness, sympathy and kindness' that are required of police. Some technologies, particularly those that allow tracking and monitoring, may shift the focus to 'what you do' and away from 'how you do it' – the precise opposite of the central claim of procedural justice theory, that process is as or more important than outcome.
The Coronavirus pandemic has hastened an existing trend in UK policing towards technological mediation of police-public interaction, and it seems inevitable that this will continue even after the present crisis has receded. However, democratic societies need their publics to see the police as legitimate. We have focused exclusively on the practical (and, in recent weeks, pragmatic) benefits of introducing technology into police-public contact, but the current crisis and the need for collective, normative compliance with regulations means that – now more than ever – we need to ensure that we do not overlook the emotional, psychological and relational effects of socially-distanced policing.

As I lived in a big city, busy cause
people rushing everywhere, every
minute. Which state? California.
My grandmother with her raspy voice,
her bones crushing on the inside.
The feeling to break down, bones about
to shatter, her walking through
her own empty house, hearing her
own clocks tick-tocking in the small kitchen.
Nearby sparkling blue waters,
cool and fresh.

SOME ideas can't be allowed to drift away for lack of action. They're too important. A brake on Middle East arms sales, for example. By the end of the Gulf war a consensus was mounting that the time was ripe to curb the region's voracious appetite for weaponry. Everyone agreed that Saddam Hussein's military colossus - shaky though it proved - should have taught the world a lesson. It didn't. Arms dealing has already regained its old clip - with a new spring provided by the awareness of how effective the latest high-tech firepower can be.
But the idea of stopping that deadly momentum has some energy too. A number of arms control and Middle East specialists have been arguing for a temporary moratorium on sales to the region. Last week a group of influential Democratic congressmen sent President Bush a letter urging that the United States take the lead in enacting such a moratorium.
The Democrats' petition can be seen as a political move designed to back the president into a corner on the arms sales issue. The administration's view, as expressed most clearly by Defense Secretary Cheney, is that arms transfers are a necessary policy tool.
But more is involved here than a partisan attempt to seize some foreign policy high ground. An arms sales halt would signal that the US is serious about taking the Middle East along on the journey toward a new world order.
The US has the authority, following victory in the Gulf, to lead, but others will have to follow. And they just might. The Soviets may find they have more to gain from becoming part of the peace process in the Middle East than by continuing their arms shipments to such clients as Syria - few of whom have any cash to buy with. The French already have a $5 billion bill pending with the Iraqis. But beyond financial disincentives, many in France are uneasy with their country's role in arming regimes like th at of Saddam Hussein.
Recipient nations will raise objections, but in the long run their interests will be served. Their greatest security lies not in being armed to the teeth, but in better relations with neighbors.
The opportunity exists for a sharp departure from the business-as-usual that leads toward future wars. The US should seize it.

Good Valentines Day Ideas
Good Valentine's Day Ideas for Friendship or Relationships
It's that time of year again...some of us may look forward to Valentine's Day while others experience varying degrees of dread. Regardless of where you fall on the spectrum, this one day each year can bring so much understandable but unnecessary pressure. Here are some good Valentine's Day ideas to help remove some of that pressure for anyone, regardless of relationship status.
In a Relationship
If you are in a relationship- depending on how long you have been together- the anticipation of February 14th can be accompanied with a lot of pressure. Take a moment: find gratitude for your partner and remember that this is just a day where you can focus your energy on expressing your appreciation for him or her. Try to stick to simple Valentine's Day ideas. Perhaps you are super excited about Valentine's Day or already know what you want to do for your partner. For the other 90% of us, here are a few simple ideas for Valentine's Day that may help you.
1. Take the time to prepare - don't wait until the last minute or the last day before Valentine's Day to prepare, especially if you are in a relationship. Lack of preparation may be interpreted- erroneously or not- as not appreciating your partner and what positive things he or she brings to your life.
2. Celebrate the entire week - as a way to express your love for someone, rather than just celebrating your love and appreciation on one day, what if you take time each day over the period of a week to do something small every day to celebrate? By tapping into your creativity, you can come up with so many good Valentine's Day ideas. Some examples are to leave your partner little love notes or notes of appreciation so they will find them when you are not around each day. Small gifts like chocolate, a flower, or a shared favorite quote can also reinforce your connection and appreciation for your partner.
3. Create magical memories - Valentine's Day is about taking the time to make other feels cherished. The memories and moments we create can never be taken from us. The best part about creating magical memories is that you can also do them on a budget. Focus on how you can make the other person feel by your words, actions and thoughts, and then do the things that lift them up. There are so many ways you can do this. Acknowledgement their positive qualities that you find particularly attractive or endearing. Also, consider how your partner would like to receive this acknowledgement: spoken or in writing? privately or publicly? As another idea, you can cook a special meal and cater to your partner's favorites. If you don't know how to cook, no problem: just order from your favorite restaurant and eat, creating a romantic ambiance at home.
A single person can be in a variety of mindsets come Valentine's Day. Some are excited about being single and wouldn't have it any other way. Others take this opportunity to sulk and lament to any available ears about spending another Valentine's Day without a Valentine. Here are some good Valentine's Day ideas on how to spend it single.
1. Find a Friend Valentine - this day can be romantic, or it can be about honoring and appreciating anyone in your life who is important. This person can be your best friend, family member, roommate,...etc. Maybe ask another person you know who is also not in a romantic relationship to be your Valentine and spend the day together being grateful for all you each bring into your relationship or friendship.
2. Be of Service - the best way to get a lift me up is usually to redirect the focus from ourselves to how we can serve others or make them feel good. Rather than throwing a pity party about being alone, you can harness your time and energy to create small little Valentine's Day gifts for your friends, family, coworkers,..etc. You could buy small bags and fill them up some chocolate covered nuts to help make others feel appreciated on this special day. When we focus our on energy on being thankful and lifting others up, we, in turn get that energy back ten fold.
3. Spoil yourself - nobody says we can't be our own Valentine. Get yourself a bag of chocolate covered nuts and maybe a bottle of wine. Treat yourself to a dinner or a massage. Do the things for yourself that you would want someone to do for you. A little self-love never hurts and can be a whole lot of fun.
The last category pertains to those people who may have been dating or seeing someone but are not clear about where they stand with that person. This can be a challenging place, as you may not know how to act, what to expect, or if you should make plans or not.
1. Be Honest - there is nothing wrong with being honest with someone. If you feel like you are in a place in your relationship where you can ask them directly, then do so. Maybe they have the same concerns and wonders as you. We are all looking for approval and reassurance in a relationship if we have feelings for someone. This may be the easier window of time to initiate the discussion and find out where you stand with each other. For example, let them know that you may have some ideas for Valentine's Day and see if they are interested in hearing more.
2. Be of Service - anytime we have a dilemma like this, one the best approach is one of service. How can you make others people have a brighter day and remove the focus from yourself? You can redirect your attention to your co-workers, friends, family and others. This will help prevent you from being narrowly focused on your own needs and wants and will nevertheless fill you up from the inside out.
3. Spoil yourself - again if you are uncertain about where you stand with another, maybe focus on treating yourself the way you want to be treated by that partner. Valentine's Day is the perfect time to spoil yourself and conjure up some creative and simple Valentine's Day ideas.
When we are in a place of uncertainty, it is important that we set some boundaries and guidelines - not from a place of playing games with this person but more from a place of self-respect and integrity.
If you are still uncertain about what to do this year or what to get, just remember you can never go wrong with chocolate and flowers. Chocolate covered nuts or almost anything chocolate-covered will most likely always put a big smile on a face. Flowers - well they are always thoughtful and brighten up a space from the inside out. This Valentine's Day, see if you can make it the best ever and use some of these ideas to help you. Never forget you can never get enough Valentine's gifts for friends.

• provide support funding for Autistic and otherwise disabled people to carry out the following:
• pay for therapies,
• buy wheelchairs,
• parental counseling,
• provided family support where necessary (buying groceries, diapers etc.)
• pay school fees
• facilitate and fund diagnostic services for the poor who are affected
• purchased equipment for Autism and Disabilities schools
• providing furniture items for Autism impacted families who cannot work to purchase
Designed and implemented the Autism and Disabilities Ambassadors Programme – a competition created to increase awareness about Autism and various disabilities. The MCADF also designed to motivate them to seek careers in areas that will provide support for the Autistic for future generations.
The MCADF has help prevent the Deportation of an Autistic Jamaican from the United States – through collaboration with a Washington Immigration clinic which saw MCADF providing testimonies for the case, to prevent his deterioration due to the lack of required care in Jamaica; in comparison with the USA.
Published the publication "Maia's Take" – a non-fiction anthology designed to give the MCADF a sustainable method and instrument to consistently raise funds.
Established The Maia Chung Autism and Disabilities Information Kiosk at the St. Andrew Parish Library: Tom Redcam, in Kingston Jamaica – in collaboration with COURTS Jamaica Limited and the Jamaica Library Service – where audio visual equipment has been installed for members of the public to view all our programmes created on the Caribbean Autism situation.
The Foundation donated all our recordings television and radio shows to be used as resources for this kiosk. These are accompanied by book resources and indigenous research.
Directors have been sponsored by Air Jamaica to meet with the Jamaican Consulate in New York to negotiate for books on Autism; to resource the MCADF Kiosk – that trip netted just fewer than two dozen books which are made available to the public through the reference system.
MCADF has an ongoing drive that extends around the world to solicit books on Autism for the kiosk.
Created and launched the Tee Shirt Line Maia Sez to raise money for Autism subsequently developed into a Couture line from which 50 percent of profits will go towards helping the Autistic and Disabled.
We have created The Maia Chung Autism and Disabilities Foundation You Tube Channel to broaden our information reach; to spark external interest as well as to encourage regional and international collaborations that can further develop the infrastructure here.
Collaborated with the music industry and requested the writing of a Jamaican Disabilities Anthem which was accomplished along with a music video, the first of its kind done out of Jamaica.
Facilitating since 2008 (MCADF est.) a heightened awareness campaign by providing television radio and print media with a database of Autism affected clients who want to share their story so that the issue can receive more necessary attention from Government.
The MCADF has collaborated with other global organizations concerned with getting solutions to the problems caused by the Autism disorder to provide information out of Jamaica; to help create a global picture.
Facilitated the free distribution of Aut-erobics a revolutionary therapy developed by the Autism Expert Joanne Lara, for use among Autistic families and caregivers to assist with the available therapies available in Jamaica.
Designed and carried out the first Autism Roadshow. Done in a radio outside broadcast format staged in several locations in Jamaica where specialists in Autism came on site and provided free consultations to Autistically affected poor.
The MCADF Managing Director undertakes presentations across the island as well as overseas – to groups interested in learning more about Autism and how to cope with living with the disorder especially from the parental perspective (Jamaican).
Established with the international entity Jamaica National Building Society our Every Mickle Makes a Muckle donation account in April 2011 where donors can set up a salary deduction contribution to help fund our work.
The MCADF designed an Autism Public Service Announcement (PSA) programme that is run nationally to help educate the public on the various needs that exist, resources that are available and actions that need to be taken. Aired on radio and soon to be aired on television throughout the region.
Designed and implemented the screening database collection event Autism Splash, in November 2012 funded by the Canadian Government collected data to form a database of Autism cases from across the nation, from which a position paper will be written to lobby government to deal with the more pressing needs of the community.

Wesley boys and Gwen Liz girls are NSSSA Central Division Football Champs
The National Secondary Schools Sports Association's (NSSSA) Central Division football tournament climaxed this evening at the MCC Garden in Belize City where the two final games of the season were played with intensity as the finalists in the female and male categories fought for the right to be crowned as champions, while their fans and schoolmates excitedly cheered on. It was Gwen Lizarraga High vs Wesley College in both females and males, and game 1 of both best-of-two Finals series had been drawn on Monday, 0-0 for the girls and 1-1 for the boys.
In the first game today, the female teams of Gwen Lizarraga High School and Wesley College played to another scoreless stalemate during regulation time, which caused the game to go into overtime.
During overtime, neither team managed to shake the net, therefore the game and series winner was left to be decided by penalty shootout.
It was high drama at the MCC after the first 12 penalty shots, 6 from each team, had either been kicked straight to the opposing goalkeeper or kicked wide of goal. When the seventh kicker for Gwen Liz, #6 Leolyn Martinez, the smallest player on her team, was just about to take her penalty shot, a gust of wind suddenly blew the football from off the penalty spot, and the referee had to intervene and once again set the ball in position. It was a sign, for Leolyn then kicked home the only goal of the game, after which Wesley's kicker was stopped again by Gwen Liz goalie, Ann Ma Chang, and it was jubilation for the Gwen Liz girls who erupted into a wild victory celebration.
In the boys' championship game which followed, the Wesley Boys struck first with a goal from #8 Nathan Oliver in the 21st minute.
The Gwen Liz Boys did not manage to rebound from the 1-0 deficit until the latter part of the second half when #10 Allan Castillo let off a shot from slightly past the midfield marker that slipped through the goalkeeper's hands and rolled to the back of the net, tying the game at one apiece.
Regulation time for the boys' game also ended deadlocked, 1-1, and it remained that way until 12 minutes into overtime when #6 Keeron Young of Wesley got a fast break and put the ball past Gwen Liz's goalkeeper to capture the win for the Wesley Boys.
After the game, both teams were awarded with their respective medals and trophies.
The national competition, which will feature the winning teams from throughout the four quadrants of the country, will take place on Friday and Saturday, February 14-15, in Dangriga.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6 (UPI) -- I was looking for a bombshell in heels and a matched Donna Karan ensemble, but Ann Coulter showed up at the little Upper East Side cafe looking like she was headed to the beach -- sandals, shorts, sleeveless top. She was basking at an outside table despite the Sumatran humidity, churning calls on
her cell phone and hiding behind Hollywood-style dark glasses,
hoping she was far enough away from the Smoking Police to sneak a few drags when the waiters weren't looking.
I liked her already.
"So you must be the one duking it out with Hillary on the
best-seller list."
"Yeah, I think I've heard that before!"
"Don't you find that interesting?"
"No, I find it annoying. I wish that if politicians wanted to do something to prove they were popular, they'd sell something other than ghost-written books."
And so my fondest wishes were confirmed -- she talks just like she writes. She talks in machine-gun bursts, in fact, rarely pausing, always boisterous, lacing her rants with imitations of whiny liberals. There aren't many truly funny conservatives, but Ann Coulter has a Dorothy Parker flair for the bon mot and the one-liner that make her books -- the latest is "Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism" (Crown Forum, $26.95, 355 pp.) -- so achingly funny that you can't help but laugh guiltily at the sheer cattiness of her prose even if you don't always agree with her point.
Unfortunately, she's so far right that the only leftists who read her are the ones who make it a point to blast her in print.
(Frank Rich and Maureen Dowd, both of The New York Times, never pass up the opportunity.) "Treason" is her third blockbuster, following "High Crimes and Misdemeanors" (her take on the scandals of the Clinton administration) and "Slander" (her take on the media). I ask her what she calls this genre she's created: Polemics? Phillipics? Screeds? Perhaps the old 19th-century term, broadsides?
"New York Times best-sellers," she snaps back. "They're
history books that people actually want to read."
Indeed, she's a popularizer, but she's mapped out her own
special territory. She doesn't record history -- she wields it like a machete to make points about the present. She's gloves-off. In "Treason" her premise is so outrageous that only she could carry it off: she argues that Joseph McCarthy was not the evil moron he's been made out to be, and in fact was a great and honorable man who saved the country from being infested with Communist spies working for the government. She may be the first major writer in America to defend McCarthy in -- what? -- four decades. She also goes into great detail about how Ronald Reagan, building on
the legacy of McCarthy, wiped Communism off the planet at a time when liberals were calling for appeasement. ("If you were setting a half-bright trap to collect a half-bright menagerie, you couldn't do better than saying, 'Reagan won the Cold War' and waiting to see who argues with you. It's the verbal equivalent of a box, a stick, and a piece of cheese. Oh look! I caught a Jonathan Alter! And here's a Phil Donahue!")
She orders a chicken sandwich and I ask her, "So, why
McCarthyism? Why now?"
"Because crying McCarthyism is what liberals use as a shield for their own lack of patriotism. They've always done that, but especially since 9/11. Liberal patriotism is the one subject that's taboo. No one stopped them from their ENDLESS anti-war protests -- no one CARED. And they act as if they're under constant threat of being thrown into concentration camps! The only person who's come under any intimidation or suppression of free speech is me for calling them traitors. 'Oh no, you can't say that! How dare you say that!'"
"Treason" is really about 9/11 and the left's reaction to
it, and one of her most amusing chapters chronicles all the
squawking about Muslim profiling. "The whole country knew that
goosing little old ladies boarding planes was not making us any safer," she writes. " . . . There were precisely two groups of people who desperately wanted airport security to be browbeaten into giving suspicious passengers a pass: terrorists and Democrats." Then, in her most head-snapping passage, she writes about the liberal complaints against the detention of American citizens Jose Padilla (accused of being a dirty bomber) and Yaser Esam Hamdi (captured while fighting for the Taliban):
"Heated descriptions of various Muslim terrorists as
'American citizens' were getting a little tiresome. The
implication was that librarians in Boise, Idaho, were at risk of being thrown in jail as enemy combatants at any moment. Yes, technically, by law, Yasser Esam Hamdi and Jose Padilla were 'American citizens.' Talibanist John Walker Lindh was an
'American citizen,' and shoe bomber Richard Reid was a 'British citizen.' But then you'd see the AP photo and it was always a picture of some orangutan."
That one really did snap my head back, I told her.
"I know exactly what sentence you're talking about, because that was the biggest fight with my editor. Normally what he does is remove my punch lines on the manuscript, and then I go put them back in. But look at the pictures! Long hair, unkempt, unshaven -- orangutan! It has nothing do with race."
Obviously the Connecticut-bred Coulter, 20 years a lawyer, was destined to end up as a polemicist -- "I have been identical since I was a little girl in summer camp" -- but what makes her combative style possible ("I think that it's spirited, not combative") is the proliferation of Internet political sites, where there's virtually no censorship for "politeness." (It's no accident that one of her closest friends is Matt Drudge, who helped her find an apartment in his Miami Beach building.) Shortly after 9/11 she was booted as a National Review columnist for writing about the inspection of "swarthy men" in airports --
and 10 years ago that would have been enough to destroy her
conservative credibility.
"Actually it started with a previous column," she says.
"After 9/11 I wrote a column: invade their countries, kill their leaders, and claim it for Christianity. And without checking with me, they issued an apology for that. The second column suggested that airport security give an extra little look at swarthy men. And I got a long earnest note from the editor, saying he couldn't be reading through all of my columns to see if I had politically offensive statements. And I went on 'Politically Incorrect' after that, and I was just making the point that all we kept hearing about was, 'Oh! Oh! Don't infringe Arab civil liberties! We must be nice to our fellow Muslims!' Meanwhile, you know, Muslims were being lovebombed by their fellow Americans, and people were
walking on eggshells in everything they said, so I gave these
examples and the editor got testy and dropped my column."
In typical Ann Coulter style, she then called editor Rick
Lowry a "girlie boy."
"Did you really say that?"
"I'd just as soon not relive this," she says, "largely
because I do not want to look like I'm still making fun of them. Though they really deserve to be made fun of. But the reason so many conservatives were calling, emailing, sending love notes, after I called em girlie-boys, was because for years, you know, there was no Internet, there was no talk radio. National Review determined who was a good conservative and who wasn't. And like the little boy in the 'Twilight Zone' episode who could wish people into non-existence -- have you ever seen that? There are like eight people on Earth left, and it's his birthday every day, and they all change the channels to whatever he wants to watch.
That is the way National Review was using its power. And also liberals will always leap on any conservative being critical of another conservative, to try to make every conservative isolated and turn the conservatives into the crazy ones. It's the only time National Review will be cited favorably by liberals. It's the only time David Horowitz, Dorothy Rabinowitz, Andrew Sullivan will be cited favorably by liberals -- when they attack Ann Coulter."
At any rate, the contretemps seems to have served only to
make her more popular. "I make my living from books and
speeches," she says. "Ninety percent of what I do I do free,
because the mainstream media will NOT pay me. So the only way I can make money is by going directly to the American people. I'd be homeless but for the Internet and now Fox News Channel and talk radio. If they had their druthers, no one would ever hear me."
So liberals are GREAT for you, I suggest.
"I'd just as soon sacrifice my own self-interests for the
good of the country, but I don't think I have much say in that."
Later I press her on exactly what she means by "liberal,"
since there are very few politicians left who use the term.
"Well, liberals are always changing the names for things.
It's part of how they hide themselves. I mean, a few years ago it was conservatives angry at liberals for calling themselves liberals, pointing out correctly that these aren't real liberals. These aren't 19th-century liberals. They came up with that term for themselves to begin with. Then everyone realized what they were, and they started calling themselves moderates. And then everyone caught on to that, and now they call themselves progressives. But, you know, whatever the term is, we know what they are. They do the same thing with abortion. They're constantly changing the name for abortion. I think everyone knows what a liberal is."
A lot of the material in "Treason" is based on information from the Venona transcripts, which were secret spy cables intercepted from the Soviet Union during the 1940s but not released to the public until 1995 -- and then only in small portions. Combined with the Mitrokhin archive and other KGB documents that have recently come from Russia, the flood of old intelligence has engendered several recent books detailing exactly who was and who was not on the KGB payroll during the McCarthy years -- so her work is not exactly new.
"Yes," she says, "but all those other books were read by
about a thousand people. Seriously, I've been amazed at how many educated political people I know had never even heard of the Venona papers before. Yeah. Never on the front page of the New York Times, never on the front page of the Washington Post. This would be as if, after conservatives carrying on about Communism all this time, it turned out, after the Soviet Union fell, Stalin was a great guy! Benevolent dictator! Didn't kill anyone! In fact, they really did have 70 years of bad weather to explain how they couldn't grow anything! You know, conservatives would have a lot of explaining to do. But that isn't what we found out. It was
only a month ago, you know, the 50th anniversary of the
Rosenbergs' death, and the New York Times was weeping about the poor innocent victims, still saying 'Well, it's a controversial issue, who's to say, two sides to this, we'll never know.' WE KNOW!"
So I have to ask her: "When you accuse liberals of treason, do you mean that literally?"
"Yes, but I'm talking about liberalism and the Democratic
"The whole party's treasonable?"
"Yes, it's a party that is treasonable."
Lunch arrives, and we chit-chat while eating, but I can tell she's still thinking about the treason question. When she pushes her plate away, she continues:
"OK, the point I want to make is, this is an indictment of an entire party and an entire ideology. People say 'Name the traitors! Name the traitors! Name the traitors!' It's driving me crazy. I even went through the whole 'Slander' book tour without anybody saying who do you want to sue for slander. But somehow with treason, no, there must be a prosecution or you don't really mean it. It would be a lot easier if you could just prosecute a few traitors, you know, have a small internment camp. But I'm talking about an entire party and a 50-year history. This party became a refuge for traitors. They sheltered, defended, promoted Soviet spies. They lose wars. They lose continents to Communism. They constantly counsel supplication, defeat, retreat. They taunt. They were just proved wrong -- spectacularly! -- during
the eighties with Ronald Reagan, and now they're right back to
the same nonsense we went through with them in the eighties."
I ask her if, after "Slander" and "Treason," there are other deadly liberal sins waiting to be skewered.
"Sure. Perfidy. Blasphemy."
"Blasphemy sounds good."
"Yeah, it would be good. Like treason, it's an offense that is no longer prosecuted. So they would want to know who I want to sue for blasphemy."
"What about a sexual one?"
"That was pretty much covered in 'High Crimes and
Misdemeanors.' No, I've just gotta wait and see what they come up with next. I have some ideas of what they might do, but, you know, they're nutty and they've got a lot of energy and they absolutely will never quit. They will never ever quit. One thing about liberals is they've got a lot of stamina. The next topic they will present to me on a platter once again."
"And tell me again why Frank Rich hates you so much?"
"I suspect that the only thing we have in common is that we wear the same underwear. At least Maureen Dowd is back to
attacking me by name. For a while it's just been 'the leggy
blonde pundit.' She used to attack me by name. So I'm pleased to see she's back to naming me. I want the full publicity."
As we wind it up, I tell her that my favorite chapter is a kind of throwaway piece she does on Hollywood celebrity
"Thank you. That's not a big part of the book."
"You should do standup comedy."
"Thank you. I love to speak."
"I can tell."
Here's what I was talking about:
"The attack of 9-11 was understandably disturbing to
celebrities. It created an unpleasant sensation that there was
something in the world more important than them and their
sybaritic doings in New York nightclubs. Their lives aren't
exactly full of heroics. Most celebrities wouldn't consider
working for two months for less than a million dollars. They have no idea how food and other necessities materialize in their cupboards and closets. Some couldn't even tell you how much their herpes medicine costs. As they cavort across Page Six and other gossip columns, it is important for them to imagine infatuated hillbillies agape with envy. Being a part of the anti-war crowd allowed the most overpampered elites since the czar's court to feel relevant again. They could not grasp that a terrorist attack on America meant they're in it with the rabble this time."
And then she goes through virtually every high-profile
celebrity statement made about 9/11, rounding each one off with a zinger. (Sample zinger, regarding Sean Penn's claim that his family was ravaged by McCarthyism when his father, film director and TV producer Leo Penn, was blacklisted for five years: "As millions of people were sentenced to gulags and death in Stalin's Russia, Leo Penn was forced to fire the maid. It was heartwrenching.")
Ann Coulter is obviously having a lot of fun being the woman who will say anything. Before she left, she made me promise to check my tape recorder. She wanted every single outrageous pronouncement preserved for the press.

Label: 4AD, Last Gang
Released: July 24
The buzz surrounding Montreal's Purity Ring began swirling in 2011 with the release of two killer singles, "Ungirthed" and "Belispeak." They would eventually land on this past April's Shrines, the duo's debut album.
What's most thrilling about the record is its aesthetic, and it's one that finds a middle ground between cloudy production with a thick low-end and swoon-worthy dream-pop. Frontwoman Megan James doesn't command your attention with her vocals or lyrics. Rather, she complements Corin Roddick's layered beats with a tender sweetness.
It makes for a truly engaging listen, and one that begs for repeated spins to fully digest everything coming it offers. -AM

Mets you guys get killed everyday by your own fans. Your team doctors said Wright isn't ready to play. One of your acting three headed monster GMs doesn't thing he can play. I have an idea why not get n independent Doc to check Wright out. If he is fine, let him play. If he isn't good right now playing, he can't be worse then Reyes is doing. And you know what? If he sucks and doesn't look like he has it anymore then you can at least say to the fans you tried and then maybe Wright will see he can't play anymore and maybe retire? That might help the fans see that you care about your players and your fans.

Is Planet X Real? No, Why Are We Still Talking About it?
Mar 9th
I talked yesterday about edge researchers losing track of real evidence and believing in falsities. When it comes to investigating something like 2012, it's hard to sort the garbage from the gold. One of the biggest fabrications comes in the form of Planet X, aka Nibiru, an asteroid or brown dwarf star five times the size of Earth that will hit on December 21, 2012.
Forgetting About Evidence
There are many internet forums discussing the nature of Planet X, but absolutely no real evidence available. This leads us to the question: Why do people still believe it?
The following can be guaranteed as true:
- No serious scientist has claimed that Planet X is real
- Many scientists claim that Planet X is a complete hoax
- Mayan predictions may indicate a massive event in 2012, but they do not predict the end of the world.
- Mayan descendants have stated the idea of 2012 being doomsday is ludicrous. They predict an age of enlightenment, not total destruction.
So both mainstream scientists and Mayan researchers say Planet X is a lie. Yet so many people have jumped on the Planet X bandwagon.
There is something strange that happens to allow people to believe in something like Planet X, and many other bizarre conspiracy theories. And yet, it remains a popular topic of discussion.

The American Opportunity Agenda
Empowering Working Families, Rewarding Work and Helping Businesses Compete
Americans today are doing everything they can just to get by, provide for their kids, and give them the best possible chance to succeed. But for millions of American families, it feels as though no matter what they do, how hard they work, everything is working against them. Day-to-day expenses keep going up, while paychecks are staying the same, or in too many cases, disappearing entirely. The middle class is slipping further and further behind and it is harder to even make it there. Contrary to the American value that hard work is rewarded – the real value of workers' wages is on the decline. As a result, families can't even keep up, let alone get ahead. This squeeze on the middle class didn't happen overnight.
Even before the financial crisis that sent our economy plummeting to the worst point since the Great Depression middle class families were fading away in a growing economic gap. But all along, the basic dreams of the American middle class have not changed. The dream to get an education and a good-paying job, own your own home, raise a family and send your kids to college and have enough at the end of the day for a secure retirement.
But the keys to the middle class have changed. The skills and tools that all but guaranteed a place in the middle class for our parents and grandparents generations – won't always cut it today because how our economy works has changed. Even more importantly, the American family – and the face of the American workforce has changed significantly. It is because of this dramatic change in the face of the workforce that we need to come up with common sense solutions to address these challenges. The American Opportunity Agenda offers five simple solutions to Empower Working Families, Reward Work and Help Businesses Compete:
1. Paid Family and Medical Leave
Senator Gillibrand's FAMILY Act would create an independent trust fund within the Social Security Administration to collect fees and provide benefits. This trust would be funded by employee and employer contributions of 0.2 percent of wages each, creating a self-sufficient program that would not add to the federal budget.
The Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2013 would increase the federal minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $10.10 over the next three years, with future increases indexed to the rate of inflation. It would also raise the minimum wage for tipped workers for the first time in more than 20 years.
The Strong Start For America's Children Act would establish a federal-state partnership to increase the number of high quality early childhood educators and improve the student to teacher ratios in preschools. It would also increase the hours per day and weeks per year families have access to high quality early education programs.
4. Make Quality Affordable Childcare Accessible
Senator Gillibrand is championing a comprehensive solution to increase the availability, affordability and quality of child care. Her plan would provide tax cuts to help pay for child care, incentivize businesses to offer child care or allow more parents to work from home, and expand access to programs that help families afford child care.
The Paycheck Fairness Act would close loopholes employers can use to shortchange workers, hold big corporations accountable for pay inequity, make it easier for workers to pursue back pay, and empower working women to be appropriately and accurately compensated for their work and value.

Baby boy is in kindergarten! Wow. All day big guy school means school lunch. They do offer a catered "healthy" hot lunch, but for a few reasons we will be packing lunch.
1. The catered option doesn't include vegan options. Every day includes cheese and/or meat.
2. The catered option is $6 per day. (!) We can do much better than that.
3. We love food, so it's actually fun for us to plan and prepare lunches
Some days we try and get close to the catered option, and some days we go rogue and do whatever sounds tasty to the little guy. Today's school lunch was broccoli chicken alfredo. After consulting with the little guy I made brown rice, tofu, and broccoli tossed with soy sauce along with some apple slices. Easy enough!
Tomorrow's menu item is shepherds pie. I don't even think we'll go there. Messy to pack and would be lots of cooking for a tiny meal. We will see….
Approximate cost (because I forgot the exact price of the broccoli) = $1.50
- Firm or Extra Firm Tofu, ¼ package
- ¼ cup brown rice, short or long grain
- small handful broccoli florets
- low sodium soy sauce
- Lay tofu on paper towel or clean dish towel. Lay another towel on top of the tofu and put something with weight on top. (ex: heavy cutting board, large pan)
- Follow rice instructions. When rice is almost done cut tofu into bite size squares. Heat a non stick pan to medium high. Spray lightly with oil. Add tofu and saute until light brown. Sprinkle with soy sauce or salt and pepper.

Federal law will make county treasurer Paula Schneider do something that would be plain rude on the streets of this little town: treat friends as strangers.
Never mind that she knows practically everyone who walks into her office and wants a driver's license. Under the REAL ID Act meant to deter terrorists, Schneider will have to make neighbors prove who they are.
Homeland security is taking a toll on the homespun way of doing things at government offices like hers.
The law will require people to come up with more papers attesting to their identity and citizenship status before they get a driver's license. States say this will drive up costs and lengthen lines at motor vehicle offices.
Schneider anticipates headaches and hard feelings. "We'll have unhappy people," she said. "They'll say, 'You know me."'
People in bigger places are accustomed to impersonal take-a-number processing and Soviet bread-line waits at their driver's license office. Not so in Ellsworth, a central Kansas town of 2,100 residents and some 800 inmates at the big state prison on the outskirts.
Government business is done with a breezy informality.
Informal way of doing business
"Right now if somebody comes in who lost their license, we'll write down their name and their birthday and go back there and see what we can find on the computer," said Schneider, gesturing behind the counter of her office in the old stone courthouse.
A high-school yearbook may suffice to establish someone's identity. But because neighbors are serving neighbors, even that much is usually unnecessary now.
Under the changes, though, people will have to prove themselves several times over.
Asked how many of the people who come in the door she already knows, Schneider said, "Most of them." She paused and corrected herself. "All of them."
In Ellsworth, people have little reason to carry around identifying documents.
"A lot of people don't know where their birth certificates are," said clerk Geneva Spoon, who also deals with licenses.
Even so, local officials are more on their toes now because of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Spoon attended a seminar that taught her more about how to spot false identification. She pulls out a magnifying glass and shows how the signature line on a Social Security card is not the solid ink that it appears to be, but rather spells Social Security Administration repeatedly in letters too small for the naked eye.
That is just one of the devices meant to foil everyday forgers. Local officials are not confident they can catch the most sophisticated fakes.
'We're not on the front lines'
"In a big city, I'd be very particular," Spoon said. Plus, "They're better trained to know what's false. We're not on the front lines."
The homeland security ethic, however, holds that terrorists can strike or infiltrate anywhere.
The REAL ID Act addresses this in part by establishing national standards, starting in 2008, for verifying that license applicants are U.S. citizens or legal residents.
Driver's licenses are the principal photo IDs that allow people to board planes and get into federal buildings.
Governors from both parties complained at their recent national meeting that state and local motor vehicle authorities are ill-equipped to serve, in essence, as immigration or law-enforcement officials. The states and the District of Columbia issue some 220 million driver's licenses.
Privacy advocates say that regardless of how technologically advanced IDs become, they can be lost, stolen or altered.
A few years ago, Schneider said, illegal migrant workers from outside her area came in to get driver's licenses, using false documents. She said they were going town to town trying to take advantage of lax procedures. "We finally put a stop to that."
These days, someone who comes in for a license may be approved for one but does not get it on the spot. The card is mailed from Topeka, the capital, under a system designed to deny licenses to people without a legitimate address.
At the seminar, Spoon heard from an official who preached the bureaucratic way of treating everyone alike. The official told about how she made a young man prove who he was even though she was so close to the family that she had attended his birth.

Set Control Standards
The second step in the control process is establishing standards. A control standards is a target against which subsequent performance will be compared.
Standards are the criteria that enable managers to evaluate future, current, or past actions. They are measured in a variety of ways, including physical, quantitative, and qualitative terms. Five aspects of the performance can be managed and controlled: quantity, quality, time cost, and behavior. Each aspect of control may need additional categorizing.
An organization must identify the targets, determine the tolerances those targets, and specify the timing of consistent with the organization's goals defined in the first step of determining what to control. For example, standards might indicate how well a product is made or how effectively a service is to be delivered.
Standards may also reflect specific activities or behaviors that are necessary to achieve organizational goals. Goals are translated into performance standards by making them measurable. An organizational goal to increase market share, for example, may be translated into a top-management performance standard to increase market share by 10 percent within a twelve-month period. Helpful measures of strategic performance include: sales (total, and by division, product category, and region), sales growth, net profits, return on sales, assets, equity, and investment cost of sales, cash flow, market share, product quality, valued added, and employees productivity.
Quantification of the objective standard is sometimes difficult. For example, consider the goal of product leadership. An organization compares its product with those of competitors and determines the extent to which it pioneers in the introduction of basis product and product improvements. Such standards may exist even though they are not formally and explicitly stated.
Setting the timing associated with the standards is also a problem for many organizations. It is not unusual for short-term objectives to be met at the expense of long-term objectives.
Management must develop standards in all performance areas touched on by established organizational goals. The various forms standards are depend on what is being measured and on the managerial level responsible for taking corrective action.
Commonly uses as an example, the following eight types of standards have been set by General Electric :
- Profitability standards : These standards indicate how much profit General Electric would like to make in a given time period.
- Market position standards : These standards indicate the percentage of total product market that company would like to win from competitors.
- Productivity standards : These production-oriented standards indicate various acceptable rates which final products should be generated within the organization.
- Product leadership standards : Product leadership standards indicate what levels of product innovation would make people view General Electric products as leaders in the market.
- Personnel development standards : Personnel development standards list acceptable of progress in this area.
- Employee attitude standards : These standards indicate attitudes that General Electric employees should adopt.
- Public responsibility standards : All organizations have certain obligations to society. General Electric's standards in this area indicate acceptable levels of activity within the organization directed toward living up to social responsibilities.
- Standards reflecting balance between short-range and long-range goals . Standards in this area indicate what the acceptable long- and short - range goals are and the relationship among them.
Critical Control Points and Standards. The principle of critical point control, one of the more important control principles, states: "Effective control requires attention against plans". There are, however, no specific catalog of controls available to all managers because of the peculiarities of various enterprises and departments, the variety of products and services to be measured, and the innumerable planning programs to be followed.

If your significant other hasn't met the family yet, announcing your engagement could feel a bit awkward – but it doesn't have to be! Introducing your fiancé to the family is a major step and you want things to go smoothly so it doesn't create any tension. Here are a few tips on how to introduce your fiancé to your family:
- Create a meeting place – You don't want to place unnecessary tension on your fiancé or family when you both share the news of your engagement. Try to pick a neutral location, such as a restaurant – that way your fiancé isn't nervous being in your family's home and your family won't overstep personal boundaries just because they are in their own space.
- Make a good impression – Making a first good impression is essential, so think about having your fiancé bring a gift to your parents or relatives. A gift is perceived as a token of good will and can be anything from a bouquet of flowers for your mom or a personalized gift for parents with interests or hobbies.
- Keep it simple – The first meeting isn't the time to talk about political affiliations or religious views! Keep the introduction to the basics – details about hobbies, career, education, and hometown. If your family is known to grill people about touchy topics, let your fiancé know so they can prepare a friendly, diplomatic answer and keep the peace.
If you live away from home or haven't had a chance to introduce your family to your significant other, doing it after an engagement is tricky for everyone. Your family will want to know who you plan to spend the rest of your life with, so just remember to keep everyone's feelings in mind and create a relaxing ambiance for that first meeting.

Birthdays, blogs, Breast Cancer, Burlington, Cancer, Crabs, Family, Food, grief, loss, love, mothers, Seafood, Shanty On The Shore, Stories, Travel, Vermont
In March 2013, I published the following post:
For a birthday surprise, my Mother had planned to take me to Stowe, Vermont where we would enjoy some nice German cuisine at the Trapp Family Lodge.
After checking out their restaurant hours online, she printed out the luncheon menu and handed it to me.
Their fare was as follows:
Soup of the day…
Green salad with pecans…
Chicken BLT…
Assorted sausages…
Grilled Cheese Sandwich…
Certainly not the German entrees that we had expected, and certainly not worth the two hours it would take to drive there and back again.
Instead, we decided to visit a little seafood restaurant right along the shore of Lake Champlain called 'Shanty On The Shore.'
It was a three story old wooden building and as you walked across the floors they would squeak you old shanty squeaky sea songs.
The walls, tables and chairs were painted in glossy bright nautical reds and blues.
We sat at a table along the back wall that overlooked the lake with a Burlington ferry dock and marina in between.
As the entrees were placed before us, we were handed our bibs. Mother put hers on, however I passed on mine.
If this was going to be messy, then let it be so…
What followed wasn't pretty.
We commenced to smother ourselves in butter, garlic, lemon and a lot of tasty morsels of seafood ambrosia.
By the time our feast was over, we fell back into our seats with sated delight and….
… smiled at each other.
We both agreed that passing up the Trapp family Lodge had been a good call.
Believe it or not, Mother actually had enough handi-wipes in her purse to make us presentable to the public. I felt like a kid again as she pointed out the crumbs I had missed and brushed away the coleslaw from my blouse.
It was at that moment that I was very grateful that there are some things that never change.
As we exited this sea food shanty, she turned right as she headed back to the car, while I turned left so that I could take a little walk, and enjoy a few moments of life along the Lake Champlain shore.
Maybe, I would even take a couple of pictures.
As I walked along, it was the simple things that caught my eye:
…grown over train tracks choked with weeds and grass and red with rust,
…a parked bicycle chained along a broken fence, patiently waiting for its owner to return,
…an empty parking queuing area for the Burlington ferry where Frank and I had gone through many times during our visits to Vermont.
I enjoyed every moment knowing full well at this was my final day in Vermont before heading home tomorrow.
And so ends my blog posts for this weeks journey to Vermont.
It was very nice and peaceful visit.
Thank you Mother…
Thanks for everything….

Create copies of copy-protected music, audio book and video files
Playing videos and music videos on video-enabled mobile devices is one of today's hottest trends. Unfortunately, most video players on the market are limited to specific formats. Not every video player can play the protected M4V video format from Apple iTunes or the WMV format from video-on-demand services.
Tunebite Platinum legally converts DRM-protected videos into unprotected videos for private use by recording them as they are playing. Tunebite Platinum +MPEG4 also comes with a 3ivx encoder for Windows Media Player and for Quicktime.
Anyone with a mobile phone, PDA, Apple iPod or other video-enabled mobile multimedia player can use Tunebite Platinum +MPEG4 to quickly convert copy-protected videos, or online videos with erotic content, into the unprotected standard format MPEG4 (WMV/MP4), and play them on almost any mobile device without problem.
If you don't have a video encoder, you can use Tunebite Platinum's WMV output format for the conversion of copy-protected videos. If you want to create MPEG4 files, however, you'll need a 3ivx video encoder. The 3ivx encoder supported by Tunebite is already in wide use. If you already have a 3ivx encoder, Tunebite Platinum can use it instead. Our no-hassle tip: Purchase Tunebite and 3ivx together.

NEW CITY, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — In suburban Rockland County, a measles state of emergency turned into a state of confusion after a legal ruling last week.
Now, officials are coming up with new restrictions that will comply with a judge's order, CBS2's Tony Aiello reported Tuesday.
"We cannot put our head in the sand in the face of reality, and hear me now, we will not," County Executive Ed Day said.
You could hear the frustration in Day's voice.
On Friday, Judge Rolf Thorsen put Day's emergency order barring unvaccinated minors from public places on hold and allowed unvaccinated children at Green Meadow Waldorf School to return to class.
MORE: Rockland County Officials Searching For Solution To Ongoing Measles Outbreak
While the county appeals, it is working on new restrictions. Any unvaccinated person who is exposed to measles must stay home for 21 days or face a possible fine.
"Those fines can be up to $2,000, so if a neighbor sees you go out, and makes a phone call, and we find this to be true, that's what's going to happen," Day said.
The ultra-Orthodox community is at the center of the outbreak. An anonymously published magazine distributed in Jewish neighborhoods has raised fears the measles vaccine may be dangerous.
MORE: Health Emergency: NYC Mandates Vaccinations For Children And Adults Or Face $1,000 Fine
Beyond the Orthodox community, so called "anti-vaxers" have protested their distrust of vaccine science is profound.
"We all got onto this planet sans vaccines, so I have a big problem with injecting anyone with the MMR vaccine that is currently in a lawsuit," one woman said.
"What's going on with the misinformation, As I called the other day the 'junk science' from the anti-vaxers and those groups, is unacceptable," Rockland County Health Commissioner Dr. Patricia Schnabel said. "It is not something people should hang their hat on."
The county's Department of Health is working on details of the new restrictions for unvaccinated people. There has been some progress — the number of private schools with large numbers of unvaccinated children has dropped from 66 to 17.

Summer is not a good time for diabetics as they tend to feel more humid than non-diabetics. One of the main complications of diabetes is constriction of blood vessels and nerve related problems which can in turn affect the functioning of sweat glands.
And as a result, the body fails to cool down efficiently causing heat exhaustion and heat stroke, demanding immediate medical attention.
Diabetes also gets dehydrated rapidly and lack of fluids can cause a sudden spike in blood sugars. High blood sugar causes excessive urination and if the patient is on diuretics, it dehydrates the body even further.
Summer can change the entire routine and management of diabetes. If you are a diabetic, experiencing dehydration, excessive sweating, high or low blood sugars, talk to your doctor immediately.
Tips To Manage Diabetes In Summer
Plenty Of Fluids:
Keep drinking water, even if you're not feeling thirsty. Buttermilk, salted lemonade, tomato juice, soups, and green tea provide instant hydration. Start your day with warm water and lemon to flush out toxins.
Say No To Caffeine:
Cut down on coffee, caffeinated beverages or sports drinks. Caffeine leads to loss of fluids and triggers elevated levels of blood glucose. Limit your coffee to two small cups in a day.
Adjust Insulin:
If you are an insulin-dependent diabetic, make sure to monitor your sugar levels regularly, before and after meals. If you find a drop or increase in the numbers, talk to your doctor for an adjustment in the dosage.
Avoid Sunburns:
Never walk barefoot even at home. Use sunscreens, choose lightweight, loose-fitting clothing to avoid sweat. Skin problems are more common in diabetics during summer and it may a long time for the acne, blisters, sunburns to heal completely.
Don't Skip Exercise:
Walking, regular exercises help diabetics keep blood glucose under control and prevent hyperglycemia. Go for an early morning or late evening walks, practice simple yoga stretches, poses without exerting pressure on the body. However, avoid walk and exercises during hotter days.
For all your diabetics medicines and essentials, visit www.netmeds.com, a great value on your money and time.

Lee Dryburgh has quietly begun to put the word out about eComm, perhaps the most important of all telecom conferences of the year ahead in 2009.
The new web site is up, and while Lee is still pulling a lot of the pieces together, the one good thing is he's moved to the original home of eTel, the Burlingame Marriott, which is right near San Francisco International Airport.
For early registrants, you can save $500.00, which basically means you get your hotel room for almost peanuts. And with Southwest Airlines flying into SFO, you can get really cheap fares in advance.
This is one event not to miss!

Well well well, look who's sitting on top of the world? That's right, lobsters, you're looking at a screenshot of the no. 1 Sexiest Twitpic of 2011. Complex magazine put together an incredible list of hot. I give you The 50 Hottest Celebrity Twitpics of 2011. There's our girl Kate Upton reigning on top of this star-studded kingdom, right where she belongs. NUMBER ONE! What's that on the bottom though? Oh, I see it now, "@lobshots" baby! That's right, for you newer lobsters, that's the photo that Kate Upton sent, directly to me, for the rest of the world to enjoy, over twitter… right after she proposed to me. I would've been proud to just be included on the list… but #1? Daaaamn. For you newbies, you can read about how Kate Upton proposed to me, and then how she sent me that sexy wedding "dress" picture for our wedding. Can't make this stuff up, folks. It bugs me that all the internet-big-boys have all been recently crowning Kate the queen of 2011, when in reality, she's been my queen all year. Mark Sanchez's got nothing on your boy BP. The Kate Upton bandwagon? I'm in the drivers seat, with Kate riding shotgun, and the rest of planet's jumping on board. So, you're welcome internet… because as you can clearly see in the above screenshot, without me… there would no sexiest photo of 2011.
I thought LobShots struck gold when Life & Style Weekly claimed I was threatening to kill Kim Kardashian… but this Kate Upton masterpiece… is my magnum opus. I could die content with that…as my legacy.
-bp, signing off.
