&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;PUT ME IN CHARGE . . .&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: black;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTqk5BAgGH55l-ZXlM8gc3CS8RAwBRSLaE-llAX862kSd5eIPTs6A" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Put me in charge of food stamps. I'd get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho's, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: black;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQEyIJdis9M1lWBWL_P3dJ61AY37Zq5UDM3ensQ0N_DsGLAn7Us" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I'd do is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal ligations. Then, we'll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine. If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, or smoke, then get a job.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: black;"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="background-color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks? You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your home" will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: black;"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="background-color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a "government" job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the "common good.."&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: black;"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="background-color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Before you write that I've violated someone's rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules. Before you say that this would be "demeaning" and ruin their "self-esteem," consider that it wasn't that long ago that taking someone else's money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self-esteem.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: black;"&gt;

&lt;span style="background-color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;If we are expected to pay for other people's mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: black;"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;AND While you are on&amp;nbsp;Govt.&amp;nbsp;subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes, that is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a&amp;nbsp;Govt.&amp;nbsp;welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="background-color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;WHO's in Charge anyways?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Why no results for manteca in Google search?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why&amp;nbsp;can't Google own up to&amp;nbsp;mistakes&amp;nbsp;and even possibly adhere the solution right next to the problem?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fFPTxZiVuv0/ULUYIL8-pFI/AAAAAAAAUOc/u9U0azoUTpI/s1600/inmate-health-care.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fFPTxZiVuv0/ULUYIL8-pFI/AAAAAAAAUOc/u9U0azoUTpI/s1600/inmate-health-care.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3 style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;The federal courts are about to start handing responsibility for inmate health care back to California corrections officials.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;It is the first step in ending a seven-year-old receivership that has cost the state billions of dollars to improve prison medical conditions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation will assume responsibility Friday for hiring employees and preparing to open a $1 billion prison medical complex in Stockton.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;If the transition goes well, the court-appointed overseer predicted his control of inmate medical care could end in about a year. A federal judge is likely to appoint a special master to monitor the state’s compliance at least into 2014.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3 style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3 style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h2 style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"&gt;Taxpayers&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 1.3em;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;are paying a price&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2 style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.3em;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Californians &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 1.3em;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;spend about $23.4 million a year to treat state inmates with valley fever.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.3em;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 21px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 21px;"&gt;The California prison system estimates about 200 inmates are hospitalized every year due to valley fever. Most of them are diagnosed with the disease while serving sentences in eight institutions in the San Joaquin Valley, where the airborne fungus that causes valley fever is rampant.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 21px;"&gt;That doesn't include federal inmates at prisons like Taft, which was described in one lawsuit as a "petri dish for valley fever."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 21px;"&gt;A study by the state prison health system found that the rate of valley fever in Pleasant Valley State Prison in Coalinga was 600 times the rate found outside the prison walls in Fresno County.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 21px;"&gt;When you add up all the time state inmates spend in the hospital for valley fever, it amounts to an average of 5,000 days, or about 25 days for every inmate. The gruesome details of inmates' experiences with the fungal disease, and the disease's long-term impact on their lives, remain largely hidden from the public's view*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 21px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 21px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 21px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 21px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 21px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Back in the old days, when someone died, you'd have a "wake" for them. While we still do this today, the reasoning isn't the same. These days, we do it to remember our lost loved one, to look at old pictures together and commiserate. Back then, though, wakes were held to make sure the person was really dead, which is the subject of this story. Earlier this month in Brazil, a two-year-old boy woke up at his own funeral, asked for some water, then laid back down, only this time, he was actually dead.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
The child's family was naturally devastated.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
The boy's father, Antonio Santos, said, "Everybody started to scream, we couldn't believe our eyes. Then we thought a miracle had taken place and our boy had come back to life. Then Kelvin just laid back down, the way he was. We couldn't wake him. He was dead again."&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
The family rushed the boy back to the hospital, where doctors re examined him but pronounced him dead again, unfortunately.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
"They assured me that he really was dead and gave me no explanation for what we had just seen and heard," Santos said.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Kelvin Santos had supposedly died earlier that week, and the doctors said at the time that he had stopped breathing during pneumonia treatment. Santos said that his son was a victim of medical malpractice, and has registered a complaint with the police.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
The family delayed the funeral for a while just to make sure, but ended up burying the boy later that day.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Mile High mystery: UFO sightings in sky over Denver&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jBktktJWIpQ/UKYMmYkv5kI/AAAAAAAATdE/fcqbb6QYzgc/s1600/UFO_horizon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jBktktJWIpQ/UKYMmYkv5kI/AAAAAAAATdE/fcqbb6QYzgc/s320/UFO_horizon.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
DENVER – &amp;nbsp;It’s a mile high mystery in the skies over Denver.&lt;br /&gt;
Strange objects caught on camera flying over the city and nobody can explain it.&lt;br /&gt;
We first learned about these sightings when a metro area man, who does not want to be identified brought us his home video. He captured the images on his digital camera from a hilltop in Federal Heights looking south toward downtown Denver.&lt;br /&gt;
He said, “The flying objects appear around noon or 1:00 p.m. at least a couple of times a week.” The strangest part is they are flying too fast to see with the naked eye, but when we slowed down the video, several UFOs appear.&lt;br /&gt;
We altered the color contrast to make it easier to see. You can take a look for yourself by watching the video clip.&lt;br /&gt;
We wanted to verify the video we saw was legitimate and not doctored in anyway. So our photojournalist set up his camera in the same spot, and shot video from just before noon until just after 1:00 p.m. He also captured something unexplained on video.&lt;br /&gt;
Aviation expert Steve Cowell is a former commercial pilot, instructor and FAA accident prevention counselor.&lt;br /&gt;
He thought he would have a logical explanation, until he watched the video. “That is not an airplane, that is not a helicopter, those are not birds, I can’t identify it,” he said. He also told us the objects are not insects.&lt;br /&gt;
He said he knows of no aircraft that flies as fast. He did tell us there is one other possibility. “Perhaps there’s some sort of debris that is being raised up by some of the atmospheric winds.”&lt;br /&gt;
But in his professional opinion, “As it fits the definition, it’s an unidentified flying object.”&lt;br /&gt;
The FAA tracks all air traffic in Colorado and across the country. The FAA sent us a statement that says, “We`ve checked with air traffic control and no one has had any reports of the activity you described…nor have any of our employees observed anything of this nature either visually or on their radar displays.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Jintu Gogoi's neighbourhood in Sadiya, Upper Assam, is no longer friendly. Over two weeks ago, an army of eight-legged freaks invaded it. It all happened in the evening on May 8. Most of the inhabitants of Chaulkhowa Nagaon village had been to a Bihu function. When the programme drew to a close, swarms of spiders suddenly descended from nowhere and started biting the people. The festive mood soon turned into one of panic with people bumping into each other and tripping over empty benches in their frantic bid to egress. Jintu was bitten by one of these critters.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Dozens of dead blackbirds have fallen from the sky over a small Arkansas town for the second year in a row.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That the town of Beebe has seen this before, however, doesn't make the deaths of dozens of birds any less odd -- maybe even more so.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
ABC Arkansas affiliate KATV reported that a radar image showed a large mass over Beebe a few hours before midnight Saturday. Then the birds began falling from the sky, just like last year.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Emily Nichols, a police dispatcher in Beebe, told ABC Radio that she received multiple calls. "Just that blackbirds are falling again and that they found black birds on their streets where they live or at churches," Nichols said.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Animal Care and Control was called out at about 7 p.m., a few hours earlier than last year, Horace Taylor of Animal Care and Control in Beebe told ABC Radio.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
ABC&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Thousands of dead blackbirds rained down.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
"Well, there was just birds falling down on the street and people dodging and missing them," Taylor said. "And we were down the street picking them up. We got called out by the chief and we all out trying to pick them off the street."&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Taylor added that the Game and Fish Department took about 30 of the nearly 100 birds for testing to try to determine what happened.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Fireworks were blamed for the deaths of thousands of blackbirds last year, but it's unclear whether fireworks were the cause this time. Police imposed an impromptu ban on fireworks when the birds began falling this year.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Lt. Brian Duke of the Beebe Police Department told ABC this year wasn't nearly as bad as last year, when the birds covered the streets of Beebe. This year, they were concentrated in a smaller area and the birds were cleaned up quickly. There haven't been any reports of people being hit by a falling bird.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Biologists said last year's kill was caused by birds who were spooked off their roosts by the loud explosions and began flying into homes, cars, telephone poles and each other.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Around this same time last year, thousands of dead fish also turned up in the Arkansas River, prompting conspiracies about the end of the world, poison and environmental catastrophe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;UN warns of looming worldwide food crisis in 2013&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
World grain reserves are so dangerously low that severe weather in the United States or other food-exporting countries could trigger a major hunger crisis next year, the United Nations has warned.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Failing harvests in the US, Ukraine and other countries this year have eroded reserves to their lowest level since 1974. The US, which has experienced record heat waves and droughts in 2012, now holds in reserve a historically low 6.5% of the maize that it expects to consume in the next year, says the UN.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
"We've not been producing as much as we are consuming. That is why stocks are being run down. Supplies are now very tight across the world and reserves are at a very low level, leaving no room for unexpected events next year," said Abdolreza Abbassian, a senior economist with the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO). With food consumption exceeding the amount grown for six of the past 11 years, countries have run down reserves from an average of 107 days of consumption 10 years ago to under 74 days recently.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Prices of main food crops such as wheat and maize are now close to those that sparked riots in 25 countries in 2008. FAO figures released this week suggest that 870 million people are malnourished and the food crisis is growing in the Middle East and Africa. Wheat production this year is expected to be 5.2% below 2011, with yields of most other crops, except rice, also falling, says the UN.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
The figures come as one of the world's leading environmentalists issued a warning that the global food supply system could collapse at any point, leaving hundreds of millions more people hungry, sparking widespread riots and bringing down governments. In a shocking new assessment of the prospects of meeting food needs, Lester Brown, president of the Earth policy research centre in Washington, says that the climate is no longer reliable and the demands for food are growing so fast that a breakdown is inevitable, unless urgent action is taken.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
"Food shortages undermined earlier civilisations. We are on the same path. Each country is now fending for itself. The world is living one year to the next," he writes in a new book.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
According to Brown, we are seeing the start of a food supply breakdown with a dash by speculators to "grab" millions of square miles of cheap farmland, the doubling of international food prices in a decade, and the dramatic run down of countries' food reserves.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
This year, for the sixth time in 11 years, the world will consume more food than it produces, largely because of extreme weather in the US and other major food-exporting countries. Oxfam last week said that the price of key staples, including wheat and rice, may double in the next 20 years, threatening disastrous consequences for poor people who spend a large proportion of their income on food.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
In 2012, according to the FAO, food prices are already at close to record levels, having risen 1.4% in September following an increase of 6% in July.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
"We are entering a new era of rising food prices and spreading hunger. Food supplies are tightening everywhere and land is becoming the most sought-after commodity as the world shifts from an age of food abundance to one of scarcity," says Brown. "The geopolitics of food is fast overshadowing the geopolitics of oil."&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
His warnings come as the UN and world governments reported that extreme heat and drought in the US and other major food-exporting countries had hit harvests badly and sent prices spiralling.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
"The situation we are in is not temporary. These things will happen all the time. Climate is in a state of flux and there is no normal any more.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
"We are beginning a new chapter. We will see food unrest in many more places.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
"Armed aggression is no longer the principal threat to our future. The overriding threats to this century are climate change, population growth, spreading water shortages and rising food prices," Brown says.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;
According the Book of Revelation in the Bible, one of the signs that Armageddon is at hand will be an angel pouring a bowl into the rivers, causing them to turn to blood. The verse, Revelation 16:4, reads: “Then the third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of waters; and they became blood.”&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;The Yangtze River&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
The Yangtze River, China’s largest river, is known as the Golden Watercourse, but residents along its shores noticed this week that the water wasn’t its usual hue, rather the water had turned red, and no one seems to know why.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&amp;nbsp;ABC News reported that the river turned red on Thursday near the city of Chongquing, where the Yangtze meets the Jialin River. Some residents were stumped by the turn of events, stopping to collect the water in bottles as a keepsake. A photo showing a man with water from the river in a clear plastic bottle made the water look almost as brightly colored as tomato juice. Others, like fisherman and thous working on boats went about their usual daily business.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Scotsman.com reported that the river was reported as having turned red by people at various spots along its course, and added that local officials are investigating, but do not know why the Yangtze river turned red.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
The UK Daily Mail reported that this isn’t the first time a Chinese river turned red. The Jian River experienced a similar event last December when it was polluted by a powerful dye that was being illegally dumped. Officials raided and shut down the factory responsible.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
While there a number of less than supernatural causes for why the Yangtze River is now red, the Daily Mail did note a creepy correlation from Christian scripture.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;

&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;WHERES OUR RIGHT TO PADDLE/?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2 style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2 style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Delaware has become the very first state to pass a controversial law that effectively outlaws the corporal discipline of children by their parents. Senate bill 234 was signed into law by Governor Jack Markell on September 12.2012.&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2 style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2 style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2 style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Sometimes i needed to Grab a arm for Attention would that be Considered Abuse?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2 style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2 style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2 style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ydPLdyNwnrI/UJwDjWeNwpI/AAAAAAAAS_I/vRRjhH_S-VY/s1600/fossee.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="206" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ydPLdyNwnrI/UJwDjWeNwpI/AAAAAAAAS_I/vRRjhH_S-VY/s320/fossee.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2 style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2 style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Sponsored by Delaware’s Senate Majority Leader Patricia Blevins, the bill redefines child abuse laws to include any act that causes “&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;pain&lt;/span&gt;.”&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2 style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2 style="text-align: center;"&gt;
The legislation classifies child abuse as a separate crime in the state and increases penalties in child abuse cases. Prior to the new law, child abuse cases were prosecuted under the same statute dealing with assault by abuse or neglect that applied to adult victims. “Assaults against children are different than assaults against adults,” said Sen. Blevins. “So, it is important to make this a standalone crime.”&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2 style="text-align: center;"&gt;
The new law creates three levels of child abuse. The first and second degrees are considered felonies and penalties increase if the victim is under four years old and suffers from intellectual or developmental disabilities. Parents who are guilty of committing “physical injury,” or “&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;pain&lt;/span&gt;,” to a child under the age of 18 would be guilty of a class A misdemeanor and subjected to a year in prison as a result. One who is charged with causing pain to a child under the age of three would be guilty of a class G felony and subjected to two years imprisonment.&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2 style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2 style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;Pain&lt;/span&gt; motivates the individual to withdraw from damaging situations, to protect a damaged body part while it heals, and to avoid similar experiences in the future. Most &lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;pain&lt;/span&gt; resolves promptly once the painful stimulus is removed and the body has healed, but sometimes pain persists despite removal of the stimulus and apparent healing of the body; and sometimes &lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;pain &lt;/span&gt;arises in the absence of any detectable stimulus, damage or disease.&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2 style="text-align: center;"&gt;
I WOULD LEAVE THE STATE AND TAKE MY TAXES MY VOTE MY MONEY AND MY CHILDREN AND ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTED TO GO AND LEAVE THE STATE!&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul (R) is on a campaign to legalize hemp, arguingit would put his home state’s economy at a competitive advantage.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p2" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, serif; font: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.kentucky.com/2012/08/24/2309425/sen-rand-paul-pushes-for-legal.html%23storylink=misearch" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgb(255, 85, 0); color: #0088bb; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Last week, Paul wore a shirt made from hemp at the Kentucky State Fair. He suggested farmers could grow hemp to make products like paper, livestock bedding, and twine.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p2" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, serif; font: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
Kentucky’s Democratic Governor Steve Beshear said he is "open to the idea of industrial hemp, but I know law enforcement has some very serious concerns about the similarity to marijuana and what it might do to their enforcement actions." Paul said that proper regulation of permitting would address those concerns.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p2" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, serif; font: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
Rand Paul is also a co-sponsor of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c112:S.3501:" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgb(255, 85, 0); color: #0088bb; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Senate Bill 3501,&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;which would amend the Controlled Substances Act so that hemp is not defined as a drug. That bill was introduced by Oregon Senator Ron Wyden (D). Senators Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Congressman Bernie Sanders (I-VT) have also co-sponsored. A similar&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c112:H.R.1831:" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgb(255, 85, 0); color: #0088bb; text-decoration: none;"&gt;bill&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;has also been introduced in the House.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p2" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, serif; font: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
Libertarian-leaning voters could tip elections for Republicans in key swing states in the future, even some that seem unlikely now -- like Oregon.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p2" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, serif; font: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
Karl Rove, who was George W. Bush’s chief strategist, said Oregon’s statehouse is split evenly among Democrats and Republicans, and “Republicans came within 15,000 votes of winning the governorship and yet it’s the most unchurched state in the union. So it’s a weird conglomeration. Oregon might be next.”&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

Rove attributed this trend in part to growing libertarianism. “Oregon, as you may recall, was a battleground in 2000 and this time around there is a little bit of evidence that Obama has some difficulty there,” Rove&lt;a href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/burns-haberman/2012/08/roves-next-swing-state-oregon-133314.html" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgb(255, 85, 0); color: #0088bb; text-decoration: none;"&gt;said&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in Tampa on Monday. “I think part of it is that you do have this sort of weird element… centered around Portland that looks at Obama as a dangerous reactionary.

TAMPA&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Secret Service agent left a gun in the bathroom of a plane carrying Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A reporter discovered the gun while the plane was flying from Florida to Indiana on Wednesday. It was quickly retrieved by a Secret Service agent. The weapon belonged to an agent assigned to Romney's security detail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Washington, Secret Service spokesman Edwin Donovan says the agency is aware of the incident and that the matter will be handled internally. He would not discuss who left the gun or how it was misplaced.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The agent involved was not on the afternoon flight to Tampa, the site of the Republican National Convention. Romney is scheduled to accept the presidential nomination on Thursday.&lt;br /&gt;

Woman Killed By Own Daughter During Driving Lesson&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="date"&gt;August 25, 2012&lt;/span&gt;
  
         Tragedy struck in a church parking lot, when a 15-year-old girl who was learning to drive hit and killed her mother.&lt;br /&gt;
Kim Riggs&lt;br /&gt;
Kimberly Riggs, 40, let her daughter take the wheel of her car
 in the parking lot of the Newport Church of God in Newport, Kentucky, 
after they had attended church.&lt;br /&gt;
But when the teenager got behind the wheel, she mistakenly 
pressed down on the car's accelerator instead of the brakes and suddenly
 backed up the car hitting and knocking her mother to the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
Then the girl began driving uncontrollably in the lot, knocking down a fence and hitting the back of a home.&lt;br /&gt;
She then turned the vehicle around and hit her mother again, pinning the woman’s body against a fence.&lt;br /&gt;
'I see the front end of this car coming over my neighbor's 
fence,' Brandy Raleigh, who witnessed the terrible accident, told 
WLWT-TV.&lt;br /&gt;
'I yelled to her [Riggs] 'Move!' but it was too late. The girl
 driving the car had struck the woman. You would never think to see 
something like that,' she added.&lt;br /&gt;
The pastor of the church, Rusty Wollum, said congregants 
rushed to help Riggs, who was described as barely conscious after she 
was hit.&lt;br /&gt;
'She couldn't speak but she could just barely breathe by holding her sternum,' he told WAVE-TV.&lt;br /&gt;
'We were trying to keep her calm, telling her that help was on the way, that we were there with her,' he added.&lt;br /&gt;
Riggs, a single mother of two, was transported to a local hospital, where she was pronounced dead.&lt;br /&gt;
The daughter was also treated for minor injuries.&lt;/div&gt;

Carlos Mayid couldn't see Adrian Apgar being

his cellphone in hand...&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
ORLANDO, Fla. — Carlos Mayid couldn't see Adrian Apgar being attacked by an alligator early Wednesday, but he could hear him.&lt;br /&gt;
With his cellphone in hand and a sheriff's operator on the line, 
Mayid left his home near Lake Parker, Fla., and walked down his street 
in the predawn darkness toward the screams of a man who was fighting for
 his life in the water.&lt;br /&gt;
In the recording of a dramatic 911 call released Thursday, Mayid is 
heard breathing heavily and walking through wet grass as Apgar's 
repeated cries grow louder. Finally, he got close enough to yell back.&lt;br /&gt;
"Hey. What's up? What do you need?" Mayid hollered.&lt;br /&gt;
"A gator's got me," Apgar replied, his voice faint in the background.&lt;br /&gt;
Mayid's call shortly after 4 a.m. sent four Polk County, Fla., 
deputies racing to the 2,150-acre lake just outside Lakeland, Fla., 
where they jumped into the water and wrenched Apgar's arm from the 
gator's mouth. The 45-year-old victim, who told authorities he'd passed 
out nude on the shore after smoking crack cocaine, was rushed to a 
hospital in critical condition.&lt;br /&gt;
Later Wednesday, state wildlife authorities trapped and killed a 
nearly 12-foot-long alligator thought to be the one that attacked Apgar.&lt;br /&gt;
Mayid's call was picked up by operator Josh Fulman.&lt;br /&gt;
"There's a guy screaming bloody murder over here, 'Help,' in front of
 the Moose Lodge," Mayid said. He could not be reached Thursday to 
elaborate on his experience.&lt;br /&gt;
"I can hear him from inside my house ... He's screaming, 'Help, help, help, help.' "&lt;br /&gt;
A dramatic back-and-forth followed, with Mayid serving as the middleman between victim and operator.&lt;br /&gt;
Fulman told Mayid that deputies were on the way, but there was little the two could do. Meanwhile, Apgar kept screaming.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div id="admiddle3left"&gt;
&lt;img alt="advertising" border="0" height="7" src="http://local.ads.nwsource.com/ads/adv.gif" vspace="1" width="70" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img height="1" src="http://ads.nwsource.com/RealMedia/ads/adstream_lx.ads/www.seattletimes.com/nation/L27/2082097870/Middle3/Seattle/quad1_0812_August_ST_News_All_mr/quad1_0909_Ent-l.html/304459457456413370367741412b4731?_RM_EMPTY_&amp;amp;" width="1" /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
Replying to a plea from Apgar that was inaudible on the tape, Mayid 
said, "I ain't going over there. I can't go in there anyway. ... I don't
 know how the hell they're going to get through."&lt;br /&gt;
Mayid ended up getting close enough to ask Apgar where the alligator 
had bitten him, yelling, "Help is on the way, help is on the way."&lt;br /&gt;
About five minutes into the nearly eight-minute call, the operator 
suggested Mayid tell Apgar to punch the alligator. "I don't know if it's
 true, but if you punch him in the nose ... it may let him go," Fulman 
said.&lt;br /&gt;
Mayid relayed the message and immediately came back with Apgar's response: "Too big."&lt;br /&gt;
Said Mayid, "He says he needs a gun."&lt;br /&gt;
Polk County deputies arrived about two minutes later and soon reached
 Apgar in the water. He was slumped over in the alligator's jaws in 
chest-deep water on the east side of Lake Parker.&lt;br /&gt;
After a tug-of-war with the gator, three deputies and their sergeant 
were able to rescue Apgar and carry him to shore. The rescue took about 
20 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
Apgar told the deputies he had been smoking crack cocaine and fell 
asleep on the shore when the alligator attacked him. The area includes a
 strip of land with a picnic table.&lt;br /&gt;
But local and state officials said Thursday they don't know if Apgar 
was on the land or already in the water when he was attacked.&lt;br /&gt;
Sheriff's officials have said Apgar, 45, suffered a broken right arm.
 His left arm was nearly severed, and he had bites to his buttocks and 
leg. He underwent surgery Wednesday afternoon at Lakeland Regional 
Medical Center.&lt;br /&gt;
A hospital spokeswoman said Apgar was alive Thursday, but a family 
member asked that his specific condition not be released and would not 
talk to reporters.&lt;br /&gt;
Gary Morse, spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation 
Commission, said the 11-foot, 9-inch, 600-pound alligator trapped 
several hours after the attack had been euthanized, a necessary step to 
protect the public.&lt;br /&gt;
The alligator was "much larger" than average, Morse said.&lt;br /&gt;
Investigators aren't positive the captured alligator was the one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Man Wanted for Beating 2-Year-Old to Death Gets Freakishly Impaled&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A man was recently killed by way of falling onto a fence and impaling himself after he touched a live wire while at work on a construction site. Disturbing, right? Well, get this: That man, Cesar Osuna, also happened to be wanted for beating a 2-year-old boy to death. Even more disturbing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A toddler by the name of Juan Felix died in January of 2011 after being taken to the hospital. An autopsy performed showed that Juan Felix passed away from blunt force trauma. According to police reports, this poor, poor child, who should have never been subject to this unimaginable horrific abuse, suffered from multiple rib fractures, tearing of abdominal membranes, and a skull fracture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So. A man who's wanting for killing a 2-year-old boy dies in a freak accident at work. Coincidence? Or did the universe know something we didn't?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's what happened: After Juan died, Osuna fled to Mexico from California, and apparently started working in construction. Police who were after him were able to identify him through various tattoos on his body. Meanwhile, Juan's mother, Noemi Mendoza, is in the midst of serving a six-year sentence after pleading no contest to willful cruelty to a child. (Mendoza was accused of leaving her child in the custody of someone considered dangerous. Apparently, there were indications that this completely innocent little boy had been abused on other occasions. Disgusting.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, if Osuna is the person responsible for killing a small child, maybe this is proof that, once in a while, karma does come around. I really don't see why any person disgusting enough to kill a 2-year-old boy should have the right to walk around a free man or woman. Or walk around at all. What happened to Juan Felix is stomach-turning sickening, a flat-out tragedy (and shame on his mother for leaving her son in harm's way to begin with).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, now we have Mendoza in jail, and Osuna dead. Poetic justice served? I'm not so sure. Because even if Osuna was guilty, neither his death -- or Mendoza's jail sentence -- will be able to bring little Juan Felix back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Also saved the taxpayers a Trial and Prison costs!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
GOD Bless Karma!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That is a revolutionary idea in an era when California legislators 
rarely pass balanced budgets by the June 15 deadline. It is also popular
 with voters, who overwhelmingly approved Prop 25.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The law, Proposition 25, only worked as voters had intended for one budget season.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If legislators didn't pass a balanced budget by their June 15 constitutional deadline, they'd be docked all pay and expense money until they did their job.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prop. 25 itself didn't require a budget to be balanced. But a 2004 measure, Prop. 58, did. It forbade the Legislature to pass — or the governor to sign — an unbalanced budget.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now there has been a bait and switch — the switch ordered by a judge&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class="lsItm"&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-J6lIdHTApJs/T_OEQ9RPozI/AAAAAAAAPf0/fKnjjBCmhYI/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-J6lIdHTApJs/T_OEQ9RPozI/AAAAAAAAPf0/fKnjjBCmhYI/s1600/images.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;

1. Not all votes of the members present need be recorded in the official journal.&lt;/h3&gt;
"...the
 Yeas and Nays of the Members of either House on any question shall, at 
the Desire of one fifth of those Present, be entered on the Journal." In
 other words, if less than one-fifth want to include the actual votes 
then they are left out of the official record.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="lsItm"&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;

2. Neither House can meet anywhere different without agreement&lt;/h3&gt;
"Neither
 House, during the Session of Congress, shall, without the Consent of 
the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other Place than
 that in which the two Houses shall be sitting."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="lsItm"&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;

3. A Congressman cannot be arrested for misdemeanors on the way to the Hill&lt;/h3&gt;
"[Senators
 and Representatives] shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and 
Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance 
at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning
 from the same...."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="lsItm"&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;

4. Congressmen shall not be questioned for speeches in either House&lt;/h3&gt;
"...and
 for any Speech or Debate in either House, [Congressmen] shall not be 
questioned in any other Place." I wonder how many Congressmen have used 
that defense on CNN or Fox News.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="lsItm"&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;

5. No one can be convicted of treason without two witnesses or confession&lt;/h3&gt;
"No
 Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two 
Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court." One 
person is not enough.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="lsItm"&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;

6. The President can adjourn Congress&lt;/h3&gt;
"[The
 President] may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or 
either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect 
to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall
 think proper." While many people know that the president can call a 
special session of Congress, it is less well known that he can actually 
adjuorn them if they disagree about when they want to adjourn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Ever lied online?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Back in '80s when the Internet more closely resembled a series of tubes, the state of Rhode Island passed a law making it illegal to lie online. And until this week, this law was still in effect, according to the Associated Press.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That's right, in Rhode Island someone could actually be slapped with a misdemeanor charge, fined up to $500, and sentenced up to a year in prison for lying about their age on an online dating site, fibbing on Facebook about how many people were at a house party, or pumping up their resume on LinkedIn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the Associated Press, lawmakers have finally caught up with the times and voted to repeal this antiquated law.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"This law made virtually the entire population of Rhode Island a criminal," executive director of the Rhode Island American Civil Liberties Union Steven Brown told the Associated Press. "When this bill was enacted nobody had any idea what its ramifications were. Telling fibs may be wrong, but it shouldn't be criminal activity."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Originally the law was meant to crack down on scammers and con artists but it also made the "transmission of false data" illegal, according to the Associated Press. Quickly the Internet outgrew the law.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The state representative who proposed tossing the law, Chris Blazejewski, told the Associated Press that it was probably unconstitutional. What's more, it wasn't very useful -- only a few people had ever been prosecuted for not telling the truth online.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"There are a lot of things we don't condone in our society that aren't crimes," Blazejewski said. "We take freedom of speech very seriously in this country and we should be concerned about the real and serious possibility of further erosion to our First A&lt;/div&gt;

He may have been ticketed for not saving his Jeep from a cliff dive, but his other option was to let his 5-year-old son die and go to jail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frank Roder of New Jersey was ticketed on Thursday for failing to use his emergency brake, after which his Jeep flew into the Rahway River. Roder had leaped out of the vehicle because his son opened the door and was running straight toward a 35-foot embankment, according to Fox News.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"He hopped out, and I thought that was OK. I was just going to park," Roder, 38, told the station. "He just took off, made a beeline for the edge."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Roder said he narrowly saved his little boy Aidan, but his 2006 Jeep Commander wasn't so lucky. Roder knew something was wrong when the kid said, "Um, Daddy ..."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And then, the Jeep was gone. It slid down an embankment and into the muddy water below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A cop on the scene reportedly handed him a pair of tickets -- one for the brake, and another for failure to produce his insurance card, which was in the water-bound Jeep -- and told Roder he should have just applied the brake.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"I say, 'Really? And if I did and my boy stepped over the edge and fell instead of the Jeep, then where would I be?' He says, 'Jail, for child endangerment'."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though miffed and carless, Roder plans on paying his $50 and $60 tickets,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Sandusky Convicted of 45 Counts&lt;/h1&gt;

Jerry
 Sandusky was convicted of 45 counts of child sexual abuse Friday night 
and faces spending the rest of his life in state prison.&lt;br /&gt;
Sandusky's
 attorney, Joseph Amendola, asked Judge John Cleland to allow Sandusky 
to be released on house arrest, but Cleland summarily rejected the 
request, saying: "Bail is revoked. Mr. Sandusky is remanded to the 
custody of the sheriff."&lt;br /&gt;
Sandusky was immediately led out of the courthouse in handcuffs as a large crowd of onlookers cheered.&lt;br /&gt;
Sandusky,
 68, the former longtime defensive coordinator at Penn State, had denied
 all 48 counts alleging that he abused 10 boys over 15 years. Two grand 
jury reports accused him of having used his connection to one of the 
nation's premier college football programs to "groom" the boys, whom he 
met through his Second Mile charity for troubled children, for sexual 
relationships.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; I'm not just talking to hear my own voice!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Don't look at me in that tone of voice!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; What do you think this is, your birthday?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; How many times do I have to pound that into your head?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; What part of NO don't you understand?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; I don't care what other people are doing! I'm not everybody else's father!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Didn't your teacher learn you anything?!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Don't use that tone with me!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Am I talking to a brick wall?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; If I catch you doing that one more time, I'll...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Wipe your feet!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Enough is enough!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Don't make me stop the car!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; What did I just get finished telling you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;You'll realize the value of money once you start earning.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Turn off those lights. Do you think I am made of money?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;Now you listen to ME, Buster!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; I told you... Now see.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; I told you, keep your eye on the ball.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; This will hurt me a lot more than it hurts you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; We're not lost. I'm just not sure where we are.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; When I was your age, I treated MY father with respect.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; As long as you live under my roof, you'll live by my rules.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; I'll tell you why. Because I said so. That's why.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Do what I say, not what I do.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Which one are You?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;kinda has that ring of TRUTH to it! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I am a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;Sagittarius!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;dl&gt;&lt;dt&gt;ONE. &lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dd&gt;Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.  &lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;TWO. &lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dd&gt;Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.  &lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;THREE. &lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dd&gt;Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.  &lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;FOUR. &lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dd&gt;When you say, "I love you," mean it.  &lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;FIVE. &lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dd&gt;When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye.  &lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;SIX. &lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dd&gt;Be engaged at least six months before you get married.  &lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;SEVEN. &lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dd&gt;Believe in love at first sight.  &lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;EIGHT. &lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dd&gt;Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams don't have much.  &lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;NINE. &lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dd&gt;Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely.  &lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;TEN. &lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dd&gt;In disagreements, fight fairly. Please No name calling.  &lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;ELEVEN. &lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dd&gt;Don't judge people by their relatives.  &lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;TWELVE. &lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dd&gt;Talk slowly but think quickly.  &lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;THIRTEEN. &lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dd&gt;When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?"  &lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;FOURTEEN. &lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dd&gt;Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.  &lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;FIFTEEN. &lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dd&gt;Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.  &lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;SIXTEEN. &lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dd&gt;When you lose, don't lose the lesson.  &lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;SEVENTEEN. &lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dd&gt;Remember the three R's:  &amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;  Respect for self;  &amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;  Respect for others;  &amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;  Responsibility for all your actions.  &lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;EIGHTEEN. &lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dd&gt;Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.  &lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;NINETEEN. &lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dd&gt;When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.  &lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;TWENTY. &lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dd&gt;Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.  &lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;TWENTY-ONE. &lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dd&gt;Spend some time alone. &lt;/dd&gt;&lt;/dl&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5465295845221001060-8763095765831935769?l=keptwell4u.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://keptwell4u.blogspot.com/feeds/8763095765831935769/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://keptwell4u.blogspot.com/2011/01/advice-from-somewhere.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5465295845221001060/posts/default/8763095765831935769?v=2'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5465295845221001060/posts/default/8763095765831935769?v=2'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://keptwell4u.blogspot.com/2011/01/advice-from-somewhere.html' title='ADVICE FROM SOMEWHERE...........'/><author><name>kim B.</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh4.googleusercontent.com/-0lidFa6V3hU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAWnI/g7mhd3YUAmg/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KncbXoL2ukk/TTHyzUK6BpI/AAAAAAAAGE8/Ods8NLeekeY/s72-c/images.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag='W/&quot;D0cDSHgyeip7ImA9WhJTGUQ.&quot;'><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465295845221001060.post-483587807687917548</id><published>2010-12-24T01:48:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-06-29T11:37:59.692-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app='http://www.w3.org/2007/app'>2012-06-29T11:37:59.692-07:00</app:edited><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='taser'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='husband'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gift'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wife'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='christmas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pain'/><title>WHERE'S MANS COMMON SENSE?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
Christmas Shopping for the Wife&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
not something i enjoy,never seem to get the right gift&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
on the right day ...well you know&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
So I started early looking around, keeping my eye out &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
and well you'll see.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol &amp;amp; Pawn Shop that sparked my&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
interest.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
What I came across was a&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
100,000-volt, pocket/purse- sized taser.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
The effects of the taser were supposed to be short lived, with no&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
long-term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
retreat to safety....?? &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
WAY TOO COOL!! &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white; text-align: justify;"&gt;
Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
I loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
Nothing! I was disappointed.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
I learned, however, that if I pushed the button AND pressed it&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
against a metal surface at the same time; I'd get the blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
AWESOME!!!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
Unfortunately, I&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
have yet to explain to Julie what that burn spot is on the face of her&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
microwave.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself this thing couldn't be all that bad with only two triple-A batteries, right? There&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
this thing out on a flesh &amp;amp; blood moving target. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: white; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KncbXoL2ukk/TRRuxQhMQRI/AAAAAAAAEWo/BJhwRGyNnxs/s1600/imagesCAJ2BQ43.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" n4="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KncbXoL2ukk/TRRuxQhMQRI/AAAAAAAAEWo/BJhwRGyNnxs/s1600/imagesCAJ2BQ43.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat&amp;nbsp; But, if I was going to give this&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
that it would work as advertised. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
Am I wrong? So,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading glasses perched delicately&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and taser in another. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
The directions said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
assailant; a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
loss of bodily control; a three-second burst would purportedly make your&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
than 3/4 inch in circumference; pretty cute really and (loaded with two&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
itsy, bitsy triple-A batteries) thinking to myself, 'no possible way!'&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best...&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
cocked to one side as to say, 'don't do it you big dummy,' reasoning that a one&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
second burst from such a tiny little ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad, I decided to give&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
myself a one second burst just for heck of it.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and . .&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
GOOD HEAVENS!!... ...&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION . . .&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
WHAT THE HECK!!! &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
I'm pretty sure Jessie Ventura ran in through the side door,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
picked me up in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
over and over again.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
in my legs. The cat was making meowing sounds I had never heard before,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
clinging to a picture frame hanging above the fireplace, obviously in an&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
attempt to avoid getting slammed by my body flopping all over the living room. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
Note: If you ever feel compelled to 'mug' yourself with a taser, one note of&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
caution: there is no such thing as a "one second burst" when you zap yourself!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
violent thrashing about on the floor.. A "three second burst" would be considered&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
conservative? IT HURT LIKE HECK!!! A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
time was a relative thing at that point), I collected my wits (what little I&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
The recliner was upside down and about 8 feet or so from where&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
it originally was.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and&amp;nbsp;my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs. I had no control over the drooling.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
Apparently I pooped on myself, but was too numb to know for sure and my sense&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
of smell was gone.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
I saw a faint smoke cloud above my head which I believe came from my hair. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
I'm still looking for my testicles and I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return!! &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
P.S.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
My wife loved the gift, and now regularly threatens me with it! &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

When Our We the People going to rise up and reclaim control from the lying,cheating scoundrels who attempt cowardly to achieve the white house as THEIR FEEBLE GOAL IN REACHING SOME LEFTIST IDEAL of what's right and wrong in the attempts offset the same Old Mind Set that the Election is where the peoples responsibility ends for 4yrs,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Don’t You People get it, the Election is Just the Beginning of the Show.Now as we all turn towards a Holiday Shopping event to equal any Wedding or Concert Tour ,that’s completely designed to tear our wallets out, in Fear and Guilt of Rotting in some Eternal Damnation and replaces that Consuming Flames kinda Burning feel with stupidity and Over Bearing need for some Control. &lt;br /&gt;

Why do we purchase Trees? Why do we grow them to cut them down to slowly watch the dehydrated carcass covering &amp;nbsp;in some electrafing way all of our repressed sexual frustration.

The latest proposal from San Francisco’s Commission of Animal Control and Welfare is a ban on the sale of all pets (other than fish) throughout the city. Such a move is likely to cause great financial damage to local pet stores causing pet store business owners to shut down. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A measure may soon take place in San Francisco banning toys that will come along with high calorie meals. With the belief that the toy that comes with the meal makes it more attractive to parents and children, removing the toy will make the meal appear as if it was nasty tasteless cardboard burger that would allow for a healthier choice of lunch or dinner. Seeming to believe that part of the child obesity problem lies not with the parent's choice but with the toy that comes along and that if the accompanied toy were to be removed the child would no longer wish to have his or hers kids meal&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
San Francisco led the nation when it barred the use of plastic bags at large supermarkets and chain drugstores three years ago. Now it may expand that ban to all retailers, including hardware stores, bookshops, clothing boutiques and department stores.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
San Francisco Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi, who spearheaded the original law, told The Chronicle he will formally introduce the expansion legislation at today's Board of Supervisors meeting. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If enacted, it could once again put San Francisco at the vanguard of banning the distribution of plastic bags, going further than a statewide ban now under consideration by the California Legislature that has&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom has banned all official city travel from San Francisco to Arizona in light of Arizona's passage of the anti-illegal immigration bill. The bill has already caused a lot of controversy as Arizona state looks to make it punishable crime to be an illegal immigrant. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First plastic bags, now bottled water; San Francisco is certainly setting an example. Mayor Gavin Newsom signed an order this week banning the use of City funds to purchase single-serving bottled water. The Mayor told Newsweek:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a new directive geared towards fighting obesity, San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom is banning the sale of Coke, Pepsi, and Fanta Orange in vending machines on city property. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The California State Court of Appeals announced today their decision to overturn one of the most restrictive gun bans in the country, following a legal battle by attorneys for the National Rifle Association (NRA) and a previous court order against the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Decision by the California State Court of Appeals is a big win for the law-abiding citizens and NRA Members of San Francisco,” declared Chris W. Cox, NRA’s chief lobbyist&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By a 9-2 vote, San Francisco's Board of Supervisors passed a measure Tuesday making it a crime for pet owners to declaw their cats. Violators face a potential jail sentence of six months and fine of up to $1,000.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Declawing cats is cruel and a form of torture," said the San Francisco measure's author, Ross Mirkarimi, who represents the city's 5th District. "It has not proven to be medically necessary."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
San Francisco has become the first city in the United States to ban the sale of cigarettes and other tobacco products in pharmacies. The sales ban, which takes effect Oct. 1, passed by an 8-3 vote of the city's Board of Supervisors in late July. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To Keep Its Parakeets Wild, San Francisco Bans Handouts &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SAN FRANCISCO, In what may be a legislative first for San Francisco, the city’s Board of Supervisors&amp;nbsp; banned the feeding of a tourist attraction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A flock of wild green-and-red parakeets spend the evening happy hour in downtown Ferry Park, where dozens of locals and curious tourists have been assembling for the last year or so to feed the birds, often by hand. Children giggle; their parents snap photos. &lt;br /&gt;
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that the Board of Supervisors voted&amp;nbsp; to begin a City Hall push to get artery-clogging trans fats out of the food served in San Francisco restaurants. The board approved the measure unanimously, and had the approval of the city's leading restaurateurs' association.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
San Francisco is weighing a ban on the sale of cats and dogs… and hamsters, gerbils, rats, chinchillas, guinea pigs, birds. That is, every pet except fish. West Hollywood and South Lake Tahoe have banned some pet sales in recent months, but the San Francisco ban, if approved, would go much further, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
San Francisco supervisors voted to ban smoking in all parks, public squares and other outdoor spaces that the city owns, joining a handful of other California municipalities that have gotten even tougher on tobacco users. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an 8-3 vote, the Board of Supervisors agreed that the health and environmental risks associated with discarded cigarette butts and second-hand smoke merited extending existing indoor bans to outdoor spaces. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Distilled Spirits Council has described the San Francisco board of supervisors' decision to ban new contracts from allowing alcohol advertisements on city property as "a shame".&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The board approved an ordinance banning advertisments for alcohol in places including newspaper racks, kiosks and public toilets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ordinance, introduced by San Francisco supervisor Ross Mirkarimi, mirrors tobacco ad bans and follows previously enacted bans on alcohol ads on the city's Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) and Municipal Railway (MUNI). "We put a cork in the bottle on alcohol ads with this legislation," Mirkarimi said.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5465295845221001060-8849398755533237571?l=keptwell4u.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://keptwell4u.blogspot.com/feeds/8849398755533237571/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://keptwell4u.blogspot.com/2010/10/whats-up-with-frisco.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5465295845221001060/posts/default/8849398755533237571?v=2'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5465295845221001060/posts/default/8849398755533237571?v=2'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://keptwell4u.blogspot.com/2010/10/whats-up-with-frisco.html' title='WHATS UP WITH FRISCO?'/><author><name>kim B.</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh4.googleusercontent.com/-0lidFa6V3hU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAWnI/g7mhd3YUAmg/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KncbXoL2ukk/TL8EVNzqMCI/AAAAAAAABYs/cGKHhnLDBEY/s72-c/images.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag='W/&quot;DEENRH47fCp7ImA9Wx5VFU0.&quot;'><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465295845221001060.post-5557697515520008718</id><published>2010-10-07T17:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-07T19:58:15.004-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app='http://www.w3.org/2007/app'>2010-10-07T19:58:15.004-07:00</app:edited><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='victor perez'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fresno'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hero'/><title>GOD BLESS ...VICTOR PEREZ ...   and ...
