On these one-mile walks, visitors will observe and learn about the plants and wildlife found in the woods, wetlands, and grasslands.


03 February 2014 marks the 1,000th anniversary of the death of King Sweyn Forkbeard. Once Forkbeard became the King of Denmark and Norway he started raiding England. After the English massacred thousands of Danes on St. Brice's Day Forkbeard increased his raids until he was able to overthrow the sitting King.
Sweyn would never have a chance to rule England, he died shortly after becoming King. Some say he was killed by the ghost of St. Edmund! His reign was short, in fact he holds the record for shortest reign of an English King. But his reign helped establish his son, Cnut as a future King of England.
This year came Sweyne with his fleet to Norwich, plundering and burning the whole town. Then he came to Thetford within three weeks after they had plundered Norwich; and, remaining there one night, they spoiled and burned the town; but, in the morning, as they were proceeding to their ships, came Ulfkytel with his army, and said that they must there come to close quarters. And, accordingly, the two armies met together; and much slaughter was made on both sides.

"Leather has become a key player in our wardrobes; it's now much more accessibly priced and the breadth of styles means we can wear it all year long. Designers manipulated this fabrication which draped and felt like wool, cotton or silk," says von der Goltz. "Faux leather continues to be a rising trend, with Nanushka leading the way. Nearly half of our Nanushka buy for A/W 19 is made up of vegan leather looks."
Stella McCartney went fresh from graduation at Central Saint Martins to chief designer at Chloé in 1997. Le Style Stella – a raunchy mix of rock 'n' roll and girly glamour – established Chloé as the best selling label in Paris and its designer as a card-carrying member of the fashion aristocracy. In 2000, McCartney left Chloé and signed a deal with the Gucci Group to launch her successful signature label.
Son of Russian working class immigrants, Ralph Lauren has transformed himself into the sophisticated billionaire. His classic and preppy designs all draw upon an image of old world wealth and luxury, and he pioneered the concept of clothes as part of a lifestyle environment. Lauren worked in retail before developing a line of neckties. The brand he established, Polo, is now one part of an empire that includes fragrances, home furnishings and luxury clothing. Today, his five billion dollar business includes several clothing lines as well as perfumes, house ware, furniture and paint.
The college look would be the tag most suitable for the preppy look. The collared T-Shirts are matched and A-line skirts are matched with girly blouses that are lined up in their wardrobe. A cute little headband and geeky glasses mostly do accompany with this style. The geeky look might seem to be an expensive style, but it is not required to shell out much to get this look as it is not that luxurious.
Preppy girls, often named simply 'preps', love to rock a college-inspired wardrobe.

Concussions Can Result in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Learn Why and What Can Help
Concussions | Brain Injury Awareness | Traumatic Brain Injury | Post Concussion Treatment
Anxiety. Depression. Irritability. Dramatic mood swings. Difficulty sleeping and concentrating.
You can suffer from any of these conditions without ever having had a head injury.
However, these are some of the many common symptoms of a concussion. They are also symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). People suffering from these symptoms sometimes wonder if they could be related. The conditional answer: It's definitely possible.
Anything that jars your head or causes it to whip around suddenly can cause a concussion. This can happen in a car accident, if someone slams into you while playing a sport, or from the blast wave of an explosion in a war zone. (Note: Motor vehicle accidents and combat injuries are also very common sources of PTSD.)
You can get a concussion even if you don't lose consciousness or experience memory loss. And you can get a concussion even if you're wearing a helmet, since the helmet is only designed to protect the skull and not the brain from severe traumatic injury. It can't stop the brain from sloshing around inside the skull — and that's what causes concussions.
Most people recover from a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) naturally, within a few weeks. For others, however, symptoms linger and sometimes even worsen, for months or years. This condition is called post-concussion syndrome (PCS).
Many of our patients are surprised to find out that:
You can have both post-concussion syndrome and PTSD
You can get PTSD from the same incident that caused your concussion.
So it's possible that either PTSD or PCS is causing your symptoms, or it could be a combination of both. Knowing which is contributing to your condition is critical to receiving the right treatment. It takes an assessment from an experienced health care provider to determine which is affecting you, but you can still learn about:
Causes and risk factors associated with post-traumatic stress disorder
Common symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and post-concussion syndrome
Treatment options for post-concussion syndrome and PTSD
If you're experiencing emotional and physical symptoms that won't resolve after a concussion, you're not alone. 95% of our patients experience statistically verified restoration of brain function after treatment. To see if you are eligible for treatment, sign up for a consultation.
Note: Any data relating to brain function mentioned in this post is from our first generation fNCI scans. Gen 1 scans compared activation in various regions of the brain with a control database of healthy brains. Our clinic is now rolling out second-generation fNCI which looks both at the activation of individual brain regions and at the connections between brain regions. Results are interpreted and reported differently for Gen 2 than for Gen 1; reports will not look the same if you come into the clinic for treatment.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: Causes and Risk Factors
Post-traumatic stress disorder is defined by the American Psychiatric Association as "a psychiatric disorder than can occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event such as a natural disaster, a serious accident, a terrorist act, war/combat, rape or other violent personal assualt."
The crucial component of this diagnosis is that you have to have experienced or been exposed in some way to an event that is either life threatening or psychologically traumatic. This can be from a one-time event, such as a motor vehicle accident (MVA) or an assault. It could also result from a chronic situation, such as experiencing or witnessing recurring abuse.
Note: Keep in mind that the severity of trauma is relative. Some patients become frustrated or believe that they are somehow weak because the trauma that triggered their PTSD wasn't as bad as some others have experienced. There is no right or wrong amount of trauma to cause PTSD. You are not weak or lacking in any way because you suffer from PTSD.
Many people develop PTSD without having a related concussion. However, an injury that causes a concussion can also cause PTSD.
For example, many of the patients we see at Cognitive FX who have both PCS and PTSD received their concussion in an MVA or a bicycle accident. These accidents were traumatic in that they were sudden, unexpected, and threatening, and the patients realized later that they could have died from the accident.
Understanding How Our Bodies Respond to Perceived Threats
Our bodies have what you might call a threat response system. This system has three prongs: fear, anxiety, and anger. The fear system and anxiety system can both come into play with PTSD.
The fear system responds to perceived immediate threats with the "flight" half of "fight or flight." If your fear system is engaged, you're likely laser focused on the threat in front of you and may experience an adrenaline rush, increased heart rate, clammy hands, the urge to run, and so forth.
The anxiety system is designed to handle possible future challenges. If it's engaged, you may ruminate on what could go wrong in the future, feel general muscle tightness in your jaw or neck, and feel moderate stomach upset.
In patients with both post-concussion and PTSD, both the fear and anxiety systems get overactivated. It becomes far easier to move into the fear state, resulting in many of the PTSD symptoms we'll discuss later in this post.
PTSD Risk Factors: Who Is More Likely to Suffer?
Not everyone who experiences a traumatic event develops PTSD, but there are a few factors that increase the risk of developing it.
The biggest factor is the severity of the event. The more severe or life-threatening the event, the higher the chances of developing PTSD. The PTSD Alliance reports that events with increased risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder are physical assault, active-duty combat, rape or sexual abuse, and "extreme life events" such as car accidents and house fires.
Another factor that affects the risk of developing PTSD is having previously experienced any other type of trauma. Some studies indicate that merely experiencing trauma in the past results in an increased risk of PTSD. Another study found an increased risk of recurrent PTSD if the patient had developed PTSD in response to a past trauma.
Women are more likely to develop PTSD. Having pre-existing mental health conditions or a lack of social support are additional risk factors.
PTSD and Post-Concussion Syndrome Symptoms
PTSD and PCS can cause a variety of similar symptoms; however, there are certain symptoms that point more definitively to either PTSD or PCS as the source. But before we dive in, there's one more system we need to introduce: the autonomic nervous system.
Among other things, the autonomic nervous system (ANS) controls the sympathetic system (aka the "fight or flight" response) and the parasympathetic system (aka the "rest and relax" response). The sympathetic branch of the ANS activates in response to danger.
When the mind or body perceives a threat, the sympathetic system (aka the "fight or flight" system) kicks into high gear. It calls for a big shot of adrenaline. The heart starts pounding and blood pressure rises, giving the body a temporary boost in strength and energy to fight or flee danger. After the danger has passed, the parasympathetic system restores heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing to normal.
But after trauma, the autonomic nervous system can become dysregulated. It can contribute to many systemic issues (like blood pressure and heart rate changes, difficulty exercising, dizziness, headaches, and even gastrointestinal upset). In some patients, the ANS misperceives harmless things as a threat and activates more easily or for longer than normal, contributing to symptoms like panic attacks or difficulty sleeping.
With that in mind, let's explore those symptoms of PTSD and PCS.
By definition, anxiety is being nervous or fearful of something that might happen. Physical symptoms of anxiety include restlessness; the inability to relax; muscle tension, especially in the neck, shoulders, and jaw; tightness in the abdomen; and difficulty sleeping.
Dealing with life after a concussion can cause generalized anxiety. Patients with post-concussion syndrome often suffer from debilitating symptoms day after day. They may have to drastically alter their work and social lives because of those concussion symptoms. Unknowns about how long this condition will last also contribute to anxiety and worry.
Any experience traumatic enough to cause PTSD is traumatic enough to trigger anxiety. Some patients suffer from both. But even people with PTSD who don't exhibit signs of classic anxiety often feel like they are always on alert for danger, despite there being none. With PTSD, the overactive anxiety system is also easily activated and slow to turn off.
Someone with PTSD from a traumatic head injury could also have a dysfunctional autonomic nervous system, which just exacerbates anxiousness.
People with PTSD also frequently suffer from panic attacks, which can happen seemingly out of nowhere or after a period of intense anxiety.
Panic attacks occur when your fear system is dysregulated. Essentially, you experience a strong, physical fear response, even when there's nothing to fear. Panic is a common symptom of PTSD, which often occurs in response to even subtle trauma reminders or triggers. Post-concussion patients can also experience panic attacks for different reasons but not in direct response to trauma reminders.
Flashbacks and Exaggerated Startle Response
PTSD patients often will experience flashbacks (typically triggered by something that reminds them of the traumatic event) in which the body and mind respond as if they were back in the threatening situation. To the patient, it feels like re-experiencing the trauma.
The trigger for flashbacks can be obvious (like fireworks for a service member injured in combat) or more subtle (like the smell of food that was cooking in the other room when the traumatic event occurred).
Flashbacks are characteristics of PTSD but not often of PCS.
However, they may occur in conjunction with something called an exaggerated startle response, in which the body responds very quickly and strongly to perceived threats, usually as a result of some kind of trigger. A smell, sight, or loud, unexpected noise (like a car backfiring or a dog barking nearby) causes a full-on activation of adrenaline and increased heart rate.
In patients with PCS, this is usually a result of an ANS dysfunction. In patients with PTSD, it can be from their overactive fear system or may be combined with a flashback.
Our patients with PTSD from an MVA, for example, report that just seeing a stop sign can trigger a flashback if their accident happened at an intersection with a stop sign. If they have to drive somewhere, they are afraid and tense — constantly scanning, expecting an accident to happen at any moment. As passengers, they become the worst back-seat drivers: hitting a foot on the floorboard trying to brake the car, gripping the door handle or the seatbelt, and warning the driver of any perceived threats. When they finally get out of the car, it can take them an unusually long time to calm down.
After head trauma, being in certain environments can trigger unpleasant symptoms. For example, walking down a crowded city street or being in a busy store with a lot of noise and fluorescent lights can trigger headaches, dizziness, or nausea.
Sometimes people suddenly feel almost unable to function. Even the smallest decision seems almost impossible to make. When they find themselves in such a situation, they feel like they need to leave immediately. Patients often begin, intentionally or unintentionally, to avoid the situations that produce their concussion symptoms. This can look a lot like an anxiety disorder, but is really a symptom that stems directly from post-concussion syndrome associated with overstimulation rather than a sense of threat or danger.
PTSD patients may experience overwhelm, but usually in response to trauma triggers or feeling unsafe, which is different from the type of overwhelm PCS patients experience due to overstimulation.
Avoidance is a common symptom in patients with PTSD, but not usually in PCS.
Sometimes, it's a mental or emotional avoidance. They try to push the memory of the event out of their minds completely. They refuse to think or talk about it. They describe a feeling of emotional numbness, emptiness, or apathy. A typical comment is, "I feel like a robot."
Other times, it's a physical avoidance. They actively try to steer clear of any physical reminder of the event. For example, if they were involved in a car accident, they dread getting into a car and don't do it unless they absolutely have to. Sometimes they don't want to be a passenger because they feel out of control unless they are the driver. If the accident happened on a freeway, they refuse to drive on a freeway. If there's no way to avoid a similar situation, the exaggerated response kicks in and they are afraid the entire time.
This type of avoidance is different from that of someone with PCS. The person with PTSD is trying to avoid specific places and situations because they are perceived to be dangerous or are similar to the situation in which the trauma occurred, whereas the person with PCS is trying to avoid environments that bring on intolerable symptoms of concussion.
Note: Blunt head trauma isn't the only source of concussion-like symptoms. Some other situations — such as stroke, viral infection (even COVID-19), carbon monoxide poisoning, and more — can cause similar dysfunction in the brain. The good news is that it can be treated in a similar manner to post-concussion syndrome. To see if you are eligible for treatment, sign up for a consultation.
A few of the symptoms of depression are persistent sadness; feelings of hopelessness and helplessness; loss of interest in things that used to interest you; decreased energy; and trouble sleeping or sleeping too much. Depression can be experienced by anyone. (Read more about depression after a concussion here.)
Sleep problems can be experienced by anyone, with or without PTSD or PCS. Symptoms include having a hard time going to sleep or going back to sleep after waking up; not getting enough sleep; and sleeping too much. Damage to certain areas of the brain after a mild TBI are often responsible for sleep problems after a concussion. Up to 96% of PTSD patients may experience vivid and frequent nightmares.
You might wake up feeling exhausted even though you think you slept well all night. You might feel tired all the time. Or, you might have a couple of energetic hours in the morning, but then you suddenly run out of energy for the rest of the day. A concussion can affect many physiological systems and result in extreme fatigue. ANS dysfunction can also cause patients with PTSD to be extremely fatigued. The body uses a lot of energy being on high alert all day long.
Mood Swings and Personality Changes
Sudden mood swings and personality changes are common with both PCS and PTSD. Irritability and sudden angry outbursts can happen after a brain injury. In PTSD, anger is a common reaction to trauma, and it can be yet another consequence of the overactivation of the fight or flight response.
Brain fog and cognitive difficulties after a concussion are common. Patients who experience brain fog often say they have a difficult time processing information, as if their brain just can't keep up anymore. They might have to read a sentence several times to understand it. This is most often due to the inefficient communication system in the brain after an injury. The brain runs out of energy, and there isn't enough left over to complete cognitive demands.
Brain fog is less commonly associated with PTSD, but it's frequently experienced by post-concussion patients.
Substance abuse is common to both PCS and PTSD. Sometimes people relied on alcohol or illicit drugs before a brain injury, and that continues afterwards. But it's not uncommon for people to turn to unhealthy ways of coping or trying to find relief from the changes brought about by a brain injury or other trauma.
If you struggle with substance abuse, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSA) has a hotline and other resources to help.
Treatment: How to Find Help for PCS and PTSD
Our focus and expertise at Cognitive FX is treating post-concussion syndrome. Some of our patients also suffer from PTSD and may or may not have been diagnosed before visiting us. Many times, our post-concussion PTSD patients were injured in a motor vehicle accident. These patients are almost always surprised to find out that PTSD from an MVA is not only possible but that it's actually one of the most common forms of PTSD.
So how do we move forward with treatment in these cases?
When you're suffering from post-concussion syndrome and PTSD, it is almost always best to begin by treating the PCS. Getting relief from the physical and mental symptoms of PCS makes it easier to move forward with treatment for PTSD.
First Things First: PCS Treatment
When a person sustains a mild traumatic brain injury, they often experience inflammation and sometimes swelling. As the brain tries to cope with that inflammation and other issues caused by the head injury, it may establish workaround communication pathways to bypass injured parts of the brain.
Unfortunately, these detours aren't as efficient as the original pathways; the brain tires quickly while using them, leading to post-concussion symptoms. When the brain continues to use these inefficient pathways even after the initial injury resolves, the symptoms persist indefinitely.
We have developed a highly effective treatment for post-concussion symptoms using the brain's inherent ability to repair itself (neuroplasticity) to encourage the brain to return to using its efficient, pre-injury pathways.
Epic Treatment takes place during an intense week at our facility. It begins with a functional Neurocognitive Imaging Scan (fNCI) that allows us to look at how a patient's brain is responding to a series of cognitive demands. We measure the blood flow to specific regions, looking for areas of dysfunction. We then use the fNCI results and an inventory of the patient's symptoms to create an individualized treatment plan that targets those dysfunctional brain regions.
The week's therapy includes a unique combination of neuromuscular, vision, and balance exercises, along with aerobic and cognitive activities. Relaxation and instruction in proper breathing techniques are also a part of Epic Treatment, as is a meeting with a psychologist.
Though many patients show remarkable improvement during treatment week, patients are given instructions on how to continue treatment at home. This is a vital part of the recovery process.
These therapies are not designed to treat emotional disorders per se, and we make no claims to do so. However, we have found that by reducing or eliminating physical symptoms caused by a concussion, it becomes easier to deal with psychological ones. The exercises we teach you can also help the autonomic nervous system start to improve.
In addition, having more energy, getting quality sleep, and being able to think clearly make it easier to focus on successfully treating PTSD (not to mention enjoying a higher quality of life).
Getting Help for PTSD
There is no one-size-fits-all treatment for PTSD. Effective treatment needs to be tailored to the specific type of PTSD that a patient is experiencing; for example, MVA PTSD treatment protocols are not the same as treatment protocols for PTSD that stems from chronic abuse.
While patients are at Cognitive FX, we assess for PTSD and other psychological disorders, and then we provide recommendations for psychological treatment to assist them on the road to recovery.
Sometimes, the first step is talking about PTSD. As stated before, many of our patients didn't know the injury that caused their concussion could also cause PTSD and that it's possible to be suffering from both. For example, our MVA PTSD patients are often relieved to hear that treatment is available and the prognosis is good. Many had feared they'd never be able to drive or be comfortable in a car again.
While at Cognitive FX, we also provide strategies for PTSD symptom management, such as grounding techniques. Relaxation techniques are part of our EPIC treatment and include learning proper breathing techniques and listening to brainwaves designed to promote relaxation.
We also assist patients in finding a trauma specialist near where they live who can provide the most effective therapy for their specific form of PTSD.
Most importantly, we want you to know that there is help. You can recover from PCS and PTSD with the right treatment.

U.S. consumer confidence fell sharply in May and is at the lowest level since January, according to a survey released Tuesday by the Conference Board.
The findings contradicted Friday�s survey by Thompson Reuters/University of Michigan, which showed consumer sentiment at its highest level in four and a half years.
Neither is wrong, economists said. Each was taken at different times during the month and was affected by a range of changes in the economy, including slower job growth, lower gas prices and volatility in the stock market.
Economists say the two indexes usually track each other over time, but occasionally they diverge.
Brian Bethune, an economist at University of Amherst, said the two indexes will likely converge in the coming months.
�The truth probably lies somewhere in between,� he said.
�Timing: The Conference Board finished its survey by May 16; the University of Michigan�s continued throughout the month. That means the Conference Board likely missed some of the recent drop in gas prices. Cheaper gas helped push the University of Michigan survey higher.
�Respondents: The Conference Board surveys 3,000 people; the University of Michigan polls 500.
�Breadth: Both surveys ask similar questions about current business conditions and hiring. They also ask whether those trends will get better or worse in the future. Both surveys ask consumers if they plan to buy big-ticket items such as cars or homes. Overall, the University of Michigan survey asks more questions and yields more detailed information, economists say.
�Different impacts: Historically, the University of Michigan survey is more sensitive to changes in gas prices, says Chris Christopher, an economist at IHS Global Insight. The Conference Board�s measure reacts more to changes in the job market.
�Volatility: The Conference Board�s measure is more volatile, says Christopher. It jumps higher in good times and falls further in bad times. That�s why most economists urge following both surveys over time, rather than focusing on a single month.

Blarf (stylized in all caps) was a musical side project by American comedian Eric André. Blarf was originally a band consisting of André and other unnamed bandmates, but it quickly disbanded. In 2019, André revived the name of the band as a solo act, yet still acting as a band, and released the album Cease & Desist through Stones Throw Records.

History

After Eric André enrolled at the Berklee School of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, he formed the band Blarf with the goal of mimicking the styles of Frank Zappa and the Beastie Boys. The band was however short-lived due to the band's drummer getting "married at 18 to an extremely pro-life woman", and they had made a song called "I Love Abortions".

On December 25, 2014, André independently released a collaborative EP with Canadian record producer The First Seed, titled BLARF.

On June 6, 2019, it was announced that Blarf, a new artist signed to Stones Throw Records, would be releasing his debut studio album Cease & Desist on June 26. Blarf was soon rumored to be an alias of André, however Blarf denies it. André as himself even insists they are not the same person, writing on Twitter, "People are confusing this guy BLARF on @stonesthrow for me!"

The lead single to the album, "Badass Bullshit Benjamin Buttons Butthole Assassin", was released on June 18 with an accompanying music video. Cease & Desist was then released as scheduled on June 26, 2019, through Stones Throw. The album is heavily sample-based and contains elements of plunderphonics and noise music. Music videos for tracks "Banana" and "Boom Ba" were released on July 31 and August 12, 2019, respectively.

André performed live as Blarf for the first time on July 6, 2019, in Los Angeles with fellow experimental musicians Thundercat, DOMi and JD Beck. For his rare public appearances, he is seen wearing a Ronald McDonald costume as seen on the Cease & Desist cover art.

Rumor Town
Formed in 2014, Rumor Town feature original members of Jay Eric & The Blieders Creek Band. Jay Eric, Matthew Aaron, Bruce Alan and John Thiem made up one of the most popular country bands in south Texas over the last 2+ decades. To keep up with the ever changing country music industry, it was time to lean a different direction and record original music and get it out to Texas radio. Now with 9 singles to date, you can say they have done just that. All songs are self promoted and all singles have in the Top 75 Texas songs on the charts including their first Top 40 He's Right Where I Belong and Heartbreak Highway being featured in an episode of the TV Series Lethal Weapon.
Jays signature vocals and 3-4 part harmonies set the stage for a great live show whether acoustic or full band. Have played shows with the likes of Kevin Fowler, Diamond Rio, George Strait, Ronnie Milsap, Doug Stone, Eddy Raven and the list goes on. Even having George Strait's steel guitarist Mike Daily for most of their scheduled 2018 shows. So go out and catch them live or pick up their studio albums then you can mark THAT off your bucket list.


Meeting nutrient requirements of the replacement of heifer and the pregnant or lactating heifer and cow is of critical importance in assuring optimum reproductive performance. It is well recognized that these nutrients include protein, energy, minerals, vitamins, dry matter, and water. Recent research has indicated adequate fat may be an additional nutrient that needs to be present in the diet. This presentation will review some of our recent work on the effects of feeding additional fat on potential cold tolerance in the newborn calf, development of the replacement heifer, rebreeding of the lactating dam, and weaning weight of her calf.

Robert Moses reflects on the body in 'Exceptionally Elderly' at Forum
Claudia Bauer	May 30, 2019Updated: May 31, 2019, 12:47 pm
Dancers Cora Cliburn and Alivia Schaffer rehearse for the world premiere of Robert Moses' Kin's "The Exceptionally Elderly Overweight Black Man Phoenix." Photo: Victor Talledos
When the modern-dance choreographer Robert Moses looks in the mirror, he sees an "exceptionally elderly overweight black man," and he's turned that self-assessment into a new work that his San Francisco company, Robert Moses' Kin, will premiere at YBCA Forum June 14-16. "The Exceptionally Elderly Overweight Black Man Phoenix" emerged from his reflections on creating dance here for almost 25 years, over which time dozens of dancers, each with a unique physicality, have been charged with embodying his artistic vision.
Moses is working with a gifted group of movers that includes Khala Brannigan, Vincent Chavez, Cora Cliburn, ArVejon Jones and Alivia Schaffer, who will perform to the director's own original score and text. In previous works Moses has made creative use of the Forum's large, flexible space, and for "Exceptionally" he'll have the audience sit in discrete sections that offer differing angles on the performance. Longtime former company star Amy Foley will also perform her solo "History of this Moment," co-choreographed with Moses this year.
Robert Moses' Kin: 8 p.m. Friday-Saturday, June 14-15; 5 p.m. Sunday, June 16. $45. YBCA Forum, 701 Mission St., S.F. 415-978-2787. www.robertmoseskin.org

"Ever since I can remember I've been treated a very certain way by men--cautiously. I have memories of awkwardly talking in superficial circles with men because it was assumed that deeper conversation made them (or me) susceptible to falling in love. Memories of men being stoic and unable to show they cared for my well being because it could potentially mean there was a hidden agenda.
But, a few years back, two very influential men in my life treated me... differently. They treated me with actual respect. These men were my coworkers. They never distanced themselves from me because they feared I'd ruin their marriages. Nor did they ever backed out of relationship with me afraid that "something" might happen.
They affirmed me as a human, an individual, a women who was intelligent and strong without fear that it would be interpreted as some sexual innuendo. It felt freeing. For the first time I can remember, men treated me with the dignity that every person deserves to receive.
And even so, even with this being such a positive experience that I will forever be grateful for, I still remember being warned by a women who worked with all three of us that: I needed to be careful with how close I was to my married male coworkers. I silently took her reproach out of embarrassment.
As I think back all those years ago, I wish I could have been bold enough to speak up and tell her what a positive experience it was for me to be known as a human by my coworkers. To be respected and to respect them in return. I mourn for all those years I remained silent believing it was good to be treated with caution and respectable to be held at arms length."
Chances are that you are familiar with this dynamic. Hear about my thoughts about it via instastiries.

Oath Keeper leader throws everyone under the bus during testimony, denies planning Capitol attack
November 8, 2022 PJGAdmin
The founder of the Oath Keepers, Elmer Stewart Rhodes, told jurors on Monday that when he learned on Jan. 6 that members of the extremist organization went inside of the Capitol, he told them it was "stupid."
This. broadly speaking, was a common theme on Monday for Rhodes as he came under cross-examination by U.S. prosecutors at the federal courthouse in Washington. Co-defendant Kelly Meggs—one of the Oath Keepers in the military-style stack formation that breached the Capitol— went "off mission," Rhodes testified. The same went for Joshua James, the Alabama Oath Keeper leader who has already pleaded guilty to sedition.
And the quick reaction force, or QRF, at the hotel in northern Virginia where an arsenal of weapons was stored in the run-up to the Capitol assault? Rhodes insisted he knew nothing of it despite the fact that prosecutors have shown extensive evidence suggesting he was part of the same text group where the QRF was discussed at length.
"OK We WILL have a QRF. The situation calls for it," Rhodes wrote Meggs on Jan. 2, 2021.
It was the Oath Keeper leader's second day on the stand and while the first day offered a smooth-talking and confident Rhodes with testimony flowing from him like so much water, once put to the test by Assistant U.S. Attorney Kathryn Rakoczy, his demeanor shifted. Rhodes often fumbled through responses Monday, beginning sentences with "um" and the frustration bubbled to the surface on multiple occasions as his face tightened up and in at least one instance, his eye appeared to roll incredulously.
Rhodes repeatedly tried to cast off his leadership role on Jan. 6 and rebuffed the assertion from prosecutors that his efforts leading up to it and afterward were focused on stopping the transfer of power to President Joe Biden.
Rhodes and co-defendants Kelly Meggs, Jessica Watkins, Thomas Caldwell, and Kenneth Harrelson insist the only plan Oath Keepers had in place after former President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, was to provide security details for Trump allies and other VIPs attending or organizing events like the 'Stop the Steal' rally led by right-wing conspiracy theorist Ali Alexander.
Alexander as well as Roger Stone and Bianca Gracia of Latinos for Trump were among those VIPs Oath Keepers offered their services to, he said.
When under direct examination by his attorney Philip Linder, Rhodes has regularly claimed that he and members of the group feared "antifa" and leftist activists would attack Trump supporters on Jan. 6.
Prosecutors argue this is just another excuse Rhodes uses to lend the Oath Keepers "security detail" claims a greater air of legitimacy.
But in pulling up an August 2020 text, Rakoczy showed jurors how Rhodes told Oath Keepers that when it comes to "cracking heads" of counter-protesters in the streets, that was a discussion one simply didn't have publicly.
"Being open about wanting to crack heads is what got the Proud Boys prosecuted," Rhodes wrote.
Rhodes initially denied that he said this before Rakoczy showed him the text. She continued to read from it for jurors.
"Anyone who says publicly that they are going to confront antifa of BLM and can be easily prosecuted after the fact… you just killed your own self-defense line," Rakoczy recited Rhodes's message aloud.
He attempted to do some cleanup in short order.
"If a person's goal is to beat people up, they're going to get in trouble," he testified.
But in the text, Rakoczy noted, he was instructing Oath Keepers not to talk about this openly, wasn't he?
No, Rhodes said.
Other messages extracted by the FBI off devices belonging to Rhodes and his quasi-girlfriend Kellye SoRelle show him urgently telling members to "clam up" about their conduct on Jan. 6 just a couple of days after the assault. In less polite terms, Rhodes also told Oath Keepers to "shut the fuck up" about what they did or saw.
Those messages were sent to Oath Keepers through SoRelle's phone while Rhodes's phone was turned off as he and SoRelle drove over a thousand miles from Washington to Texas, prosecutors said.
On Monday, Rhodes threw SoRelle—who is already under indictment on multiple charges including felony obstruction of justice—under the bus.
SoRelle sent those messages on her own accord, Rhodes testified.
He was a lifelong "dissident," he explained and he expected to be trailed by law enforcement at some point. SoRelle's paranoia in sending the warnings on his phone didn't phase him, he said.
This bravado has been commonplace during his testimony. He has said on two occasions in as many days that he has never required a "bodyguard." He knows martial arts, he said. He always carries a gun. And, further, he boasted of never wearing a helmet when on "security" details.
Helmets, Rhodes testified Monday, are purely defensive tools.
When Rakoczy asked Rhodes if he ever used a helmet offensively, he quickly said no.
The prosecutor then played a video showing Rhodes explicitly telling Oath Keepers that when he was in Portland, Oregon during protests there in the past, he kept his helmet in his hand.
"Guess what that was for?" Rhodes said on the recording. "That was to whack someone across the face if they're going to come at me. So."
More of his machismo was on display as Rakoczy probed Rhodes about the level of control he had over SoRelle,
Rhodes was unable to conceal his pleasure as a message was shown to jurors where Rhodes told SoRelle to "be a good girl" and subsequently ordered her to meet him at a hotel room on their way out of Washington,
Rhodes, smiling from the stand, proudly quipped: "Yeah, that's me" when Rakoczy asked him if he sent the message.
A moment later, as the assistant U.S. Attorney worked to elicit more testimony about the control Rhodes had over SoRelle, he took it as an opportunity to air personal sexual details.
"Well, we were dating. Do we have to get into kink, really?" he said. "Outside the bedroom, she's definitely a Type A. Inside the bedroom, she switches to a sub."
Prosecutors argue the Oath Keepers are using thin "legal cover" when they insist that they never went to Washington to spar with police or stop the transfer of power. From the trial's outset, Rhodes has claimed that the group arrived in D.C. ahead of the joint certification ceremony just in case Trump invoked the Insurrection Act and required their assistance to reverse the election.
Rhodes wrote two public letters to Trump in December 2020 urging him to invoke the act in order to stop the "Chicomm" or "Chinese communist puppet" administration of Joe Biden.
As the certification drew close, the more impatient Rhodes became. Rhodes once warned Oath Keepers: If Trump didn't act to stop the "unconstitutional" election, then they would be "forced to act" with or without him.
"Trump has one last chance right now to stand but he will need us and our rifles too," Rhodes wrote.
Rhodes fumbled this point as he faced Rakoczy.
When he discussed Trump invoking the Insurrection Act or the need for Oath Keepers to act, he was really talking about after Jan. 6 and if Biden took office.
Yet, the prosecution noted, Rhodes never specified this detail in any of his messages.
Rhodes pushed back and said a person could not even practice civil disobedience of a given power if that power was not yet in office.
A slight smile crept across Rakoczy's face.
"With all due respect, you can do civil disobedience any time," she said. "Isn't that what happened at the Capitol—civil disobedience that occurred to fight the certification?"
"It wasn't mine," Rhodes said quickly.
Rhodes also leaned all the way into his microphone Monday and spoke slowly and pointedly.
He wanted Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act, he said, so Trump could "declassify all of the documents that would expose the election "fraud" and seize data. The data in question, Rhodes said, would expose a vast array of government officials as pedophiles. When Rakoczy suggested Trump didn't need to invoke the Insurrection Act to declassify data, Rhodes rambled on about Trump's broad powers to declassify whatever he wanted.
When discussion of the many lawsuits Trump lost contesting the results of the 2020 election arose, Rhodes rolled his eye slightly and attempted to explain to the jury himself how legal jurisdiction works after Rakoczy explained that the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear a challenge by Trump that originated in Texas.
Rhodes described the high court's decision not to take up Trump's lawsuit as "illegitimate."
Ultimately, Trump had a responsibility "just like Lincoln," Rhodes said to "defend the Constitution" by overturning the results.
"You're a constitutionalist and you're suggesting that the President of the United States should be able to throw out an election result despite the Supreme Court of the United States not taking a legal case to address it?"" she said. "What's to prevent any president in the future from doing the same."
"Hold a constitutional election and it won't have to happen," Rhodes replied.
In his mind, Rhodes said, the decision by some Oath Keepers to enter the building cleared the way for their opponents to undermine the group's real mission of service and protection, Rhodes argued.
"It opened the door for our political enemies to persecute us. That's what happened. And here we are," Rhodes said on Monday.
The heated language regularly dripping in contempt for anyone opposed to Donald Trump's ascension to a second unearned term that was on display in hundreds of text messages was no real indicator of intent either, according to Rhodes.
He testified last week that the language was superheated on "both sides" in 2020. Last week, jurors saw a video of Rhodes from Jan. 10 where he was secretly recorded by Jason Alpers, a U.S. veteran who ended up turning witness for the government in the sedition case.
Alpers had indirect ties to Trump and was connected through a former employee to Rhodes in the days after the attack. Meeting in an empty parking lot outside of an electronics store after nightfall, Rhodes urged Alpers to understand there was still time for Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act.
Doing so, Rhodes explained Monday, would have allowed Oath Keepers to aid Trump how he saw fit.
During the secret meeting, Rhodes unloaded on Alpers and told him he feared Trump would be thrown in jail and then "raped and shanked" in prison if now President Joe Biden was allowed to take office.
There would be "combat here on U.S. soil no matter what," he told Alpers.
Rhodes wrote out a message for Trump into Alpers's phone, expecting it to be passed along to Trump. Alpers never acted as his messenger.
Alpers said under oath that Rhodes was too extreme and he worried how it might be interpreted if he took the demand from Rhodes to the Trump White House.
Rhodes was often unapologetic Monday. His defense has rested, in part, on his insistence that the election was "unconstitutional" because of changes to election protocols that took place in light of the Covid-19 pandemic.
As quickly as Rhodes told jurors how he felt about the election, he was equally quick to offer a remarkable response when Rakoczy asked him if he had to "fight his way out" of anything since Biden took office as he once suggested in his missives.
"Not yet," Rhodes said.

The Phyllis Schlafly Report – September 2004
PSR_200409
Activist Judges Rule For Special Interests
Pots of Gold Behind Crosses
The supervisors of the great Los Angeles County decided to turn tail and run rather than fight a lawsuit threatened by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Why such weak-kneed response? Lawyers for the county ominously warned that the county might lose the case and have to pay the ACLU's attorney's fees.
The ACLU is demanding that the county remove a tiny cross from its seal, one of nearly a dozen symbols it portrays. One need only look at the seal to see how ridiculous is the ACLU's demand. A third of the seal and the centerpiece is the Greek goddess Pomona standing on the shore of the Pacific Ocean. The ACLU doesn't object to her; portrayals of pagan goddesses are okay.
Six side sections of the seal depict historical motifs: the Spanish galleon San Salvador, a tuna fish, a cow, the Hollywood Bowl, two stars representing the movie and television industries, oil derricks, and a couple of engineering instruments that signify Los Angeles' industrial construction and space exploration. The cross is so tiny that it doesn't even have its own section and consumes maybe two percent of the seal's space.
Removing the cross is a blatant attempt to erase history, to drop it down the Memory Hole as George Orwell would say. It is just as reasonable to recognize the historical fact that California was settled by Christians who built missions all over the state as it is to honor the Spanish ship, the San Salvador, which sailed into San Pedro (St. Peter) Harbor on October 8, 1542.
The reason the Los Angeles County seal is such a big deal is not because it is a violation of the First Amendment. It is because a pot of gold hiding under it is attracting the ACLU like honey attracts flies.
The ACLU uses a little known 1976 federal law called the Civil Rights Attorney's Fees Awards Act to demand reimbursement for its attorney's fees for suing crosses, the Pledge of Allegiance, and the Ten Commandments, and liberal judges grant these awards. This law was designed to help plaintiffs in civil rights cases, but the ACLU is using it for First Amendment cases, asserting a civil right not to see a cross or the Ten Commandments.
The financial lure created by this law is the engine that is driving dozens of similar cases all over the country. Every state, county, city, public park or school that has a cross, a Ten Commandments plaque or monument, or recites the Pledge of Allegiance, has become a target for ACLU fundraising.
There are thousands of Ten Commandments plaques or monuments all over the country, and lawsuits to remove them have popped up in more than a dozen states. In Utah the ACLU even announced a scavenger hunt with a prize for anyone who could find another Ten Commandments monument that the ACLU could persuade an activist judge to remove.
The most famous Ten Commandments case is the one in the State Judicial Building in Montgomery, Alabama, installed by Chief Justice Roy Moore and ordered removed by a Carter-appointed federal judge. As their reward for winning its removal, the ACLU, Americans United for Separation of Church and State, and the Southern Poverty Law Center collected $540,000 in attorney's fees and expenses from the Alabama taxpayers.
Kentucky taxpayers have handed over $121,500 to pay the ACLU for its action against the Ten Commandments display outside its state capitol. Taxpayers in one Tennessee county had to pay the ACLU $50,000 for the same "offense."
The ACLU profited enormously, collecting $790,000 in legal fees plus $160,000 in court costs, as a result of its suit to deny the Boy Scouts of America the use of San Diego's Balboa Park for a summer camp, a city facility the Scouts had used since 1915. The ACLU argued that the Boy Scouts is a "religious organization" because it refuses to accept homosexual scoutmasters, and because the Scouts recite an oath "to do my duty to God and my country."
In northern Minnesota, the Duluth city council voted 5 to 4 to acquiesce in the ACLU's demand to remove Ten Commandments monument from public property because the city couldn't afford to pay the legal costs of defending the monument plus the ACLU's legal fees. Redlands, California likewise backed down after the ACLU threatened a lawsuit to force removal of a cross from part of the city logo.
Similar lawsuits could challenge "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance, since the U.S. Supreme Court ducked deciding the issue this summer in the Michael Newdow case. There are 16,000 public school districts that could become targets of lawsuits to ban the Pledge.
Rep. John Hostettler (R-IN) has introduced H.R. 3609 to end this racket by amending the federal law that makes it possible.
Most lawsuits do not award attorney's fees to the winner, and the law should not give a financial incentive to those suing to stop our acknowledgment of God, or to continue a practice or a symbol that the American people have approved for decades.
Court Sides with Pornographers
Do you ever wonder why the internet is so polluted with pornography? The Supreme Court is the reason: it blocks every attempt by Congress to regulate the pornographers. From its ivory tower, the Court props open the floodgates for smut and graphic sex. Over the past five years, it has repeatedly found new constitutional rights for vulgarity, this year invalidating the Child Online Protection Act (COPA).
This latest judicial outrage happened on the final day of the Supreme Court's 2004 spring term, after which the justices headed out for a long summer break. Lacking teenaged children of their own, the justices closed their eyes to electronic obscenity polluting our children's minds.
For decades, pornographers have enjoyed better treatment by our courts than any other industry. The justices have constitutionally protected obscenity in libraries, filth over cable television, and unlimited internet pornography.
The flood of pornography started with the Warren Court when it handed down 34 decisions between 1966 and 1970 in favor of the smut peddlers. Using mostly one-sentence decisions that were issued anonymously (the justices were too cowardly to sign them), the Court overturned every attempt by communities to maintain standards of decency.
The judges' obsession with smut is astounding. Even though five Supreme Court justices were appointed by Presidents Reagan and the first Bush, graphic sex wins judicial protection in nearly every case. Woe to those who transgress an obscure environmental law, or say a prayer before a football game, or run a political ad within two months of an election. They find no judicial sympathy, as courts now routinely restrict private property rights and censor political and religious speech.
But the pornographers can do no wrong in the eyes of our top justices. The most explicit sex can be piped into our home computers and the Supreme Court prevents our democratically elected officials from doing anything about it.
COPA was enacted by Congress in response to the Court's invalidation of the predecessor law, the Communications Decency Act of 1996. But decency lost again when six justices knocked out COPA in Ashcroft v. ACLU.
COPA was badly needed, as filth plagues the internet, incites sex crimes, and entraps children. COPA banned the posting for "commercial purposes" on the World Wide Web of material that is "patently offensive" in a sexual manner unless the poster takes reasonable steps to restrict access by minors. You don't need to look very far to find a tragic crime traceable to the internet. In New Jersey in 1997, 15-year-old Sam Manzie, who had fallen prey to homosexual conduct prompted by the internet, sexually assaulted and murdered 11-year-old Eddie Werner, who was selling candy door-to-door.
COPA did not censor a single word or picture. Instead, it merely required the purveyors of sex-for-profit to screen their websites from minors, which can be done by credit card or other verification. But minors are an intended audience for the highly profitable sex industry. Impressionable teenagers are easily persuaded to have abortions, and homosexual clubs in high school are designed for the young.
Justice Kennedy declared it unconstitutional for Congress to stop porn flowing to teens, shifting the burden to families to screen out the graphic sex rather than imposing the cost on the companies profiting from the filth. His reasoning is as absurd as telling a family just to pull down its window shades if it doesn't want to see people exposing themselves outside.
In a prior pro-porn decision, Kennedy cited Hollywood morals as a guide for America, but this time he relied on the prevalence of foreign pornography: "40% of harmful-to-minors content comes from overseas," he declared while holding that the other 60% of obscenity is wrapped in the First Amendment.
The Supreme Court insisted that individual internet users should buy filters to try to block the vulgarity. Should those who do not like air pollution be told to buy air masks?
The Supreme Court protects pornography in books, movies, cable television, and the internet, real or simulated, against all citizens' clean-up efforts. The Court is no longer the blindfolded lady weighing a controversy, but is dominated by media-driven supremacists forcing us down into a moral sewer.
This latest pro-porn decision was too much even for Clinton-appointed Justice Breyer. He said, "Congress passed the current statute in response to the Court's decision" invalidating the prior law; "what else was Congress supposed to do?"
The solution to these ills foisted on us by judicial supremacists is for Congress to exercise its constitutional powers to remove jurisdiction from the federal courts over pornography. The Court has abused its power, and it's Congress's duty to end the judicial abuse.
Showing Teens How to Kill Policemen
The judicial supremacists struck again. A Clinton-appointed activist judge on July 15, 2004 wrapped the First Amendment around video and computer games that show teenagers how to kill policemen.
Washington state parents got fed up with their children playing violent video games and spurred their state legislators to action. The state imposed a fine for the sale or rental to minors of video or computer games containing "realistic or photographic-like depictions of aggressive conflict in which the player kills, injures, or otherwise causes physical harm to a human form in the game who is depicted . . . as a public law enforcement officer."
The new law restricted violent games that reward youths with points for simulated killing of others. While the impact of these games on impressionable youngsters is not fully known, common sense tells us that the videos lack any redeeming value and desensitize youths to violence.
Determined to overturn the new law, the Video Software Dealers Association went hunting for a supremacist judge who would bend the First Amendment to cover these games. The dealers found their man in federal district court judge Robert S. Lasnik.
Judge Lasnik nullified the state statute and prohibited its enforcement. He permanently enjoined Washington State from restricting the distribution of violent video games to minors.
Judge Lasnik went overboard in his extreme defense of violent video games. "Whether we believe the advent of violent video games adds anything of value to society is irrelevant; guided by the First Amendment, we are obliged to recognize that they are as much entitled to the protection of free speech as the best of literature."
Judge Lasnik crafted an interpretation of the First Amendment that protects purveyors of violence and sex to children. Lasnik said that even if it were proven that violent video games cause "real-life aggression in minors," he would invalidate the Washington state law because it would not "curb such aggression in a direct and material way."
He admitted that the videos are "filth," yet insisted that the First Amendment safeguards them. Using language often invoked to protect pornographers, Lasnik said that the statute failed to use the "least restrictive alternative available." He also indicated his disapproval that the statute only protected law enforcement officers against simulated violence rather than minorities, too.
Lasnik's decision in Video Software Dealers Association v. Maleng is a good example of what President Bush calls "legislating from the bench." Acting like a legislator rather than a judge, Lasnik laid down three criteria for any future attempts by the legislature to protect minors from harmful video games.
Instructing legislators how to do their job, he pronounced that any future regulation must (1) "cover only the type of depraved or extreme acts of violence that violate community norms," (2) "prohibit depictions of extreme violence against all innocent victims," and (3) be supported by "social scientific studies."
Lasnik's instructions border on the absurd. Don't we already have "community norms" against killing policemen? Do we really need "social scientific studies" to tell us that it's dangerous to teach teenagers to kill policemen? His suggestion that we can't prohibit teaching teenagers how to kill policemen unless the same video generalizes the advice to all kinds of murder shows how ridiculous the liberals' casual use of the "equal protection" argument has become.
Quite apart from the nonsense of Judge Lasnik's decision is the evidence it provides about the growing cancer of judicial supremacy. His brazen interference with the voters' attempt to protect their children illustrates how much power has been seized by the courts.
The American people must confront and repudiate the supremacist notions displayed by the life-tenured federal judges who have convinced themselves, as the French King Louis XIV famously said, "L'tat, c'est moi."
Don't Let Judges Jimmy Elections
Free and honest elections are the indicia of self-government. There are many methods of counting ballots, but all ballots should be counted according to the rules that were agreed upon before the election started. As Justice Sandra Day O'Connor said during the Supreme Court's oral argument on Bush v. Gore, "Why isn't the standard the one that voters are instructed to follow, for goodness' sakes? I mean, it couldn't be clearer."
The Bush-Gore election in 2000 is a case in which state court judicial supremacists caused unprecedented problems. The Florida ballots had been counted and recounted according to pre-election procedures. All ballot procedures had been approved by both major parties before the election, and Florida was about to certify the election in an orderly way. Al Gore was free to present evidence of fraud or other misconduct, but he had no such evidence and lost his challenge in the trial court.
Then the judicial supremacists on the Florida state supreme court threw the election into chaos. They seized on Gore's argument that a different recount method might have yielded a different outcome and ordered a peculiar recount invented by the judges in order to maximize Al Gore's chances.
The Florida state supreme court supremacists, in their extraordinary conceit, operated on the premise that because they were high-ranking judges, they could devise and require a recount scheme superior to the one prescribed by pre-election rules. That premise is nonsensical and undemocratic.
The wild activism of the Florida court cried out to be stopped by someone. Fortunately, the U.S. Supreme Court put an end to the crazy post-election recount scheme invented by the Florida judicial supremacists.
The California Recall election was another case where supremacist judges tried to interfere with an ongoing election. After the Recall election was already underway, the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruled 3-0 that the California Recall election should be postponed because there was a likelihood that the ACLU could prove in a trial that the new touch-screen voting machines would be more accurate than the system California had used for decades. That's what the judges said – but with absentee ballots already being counted, everyone knew that the real reason the court tried to postpone the Recall election was to help save Governor Gray Davis from political liquidation.
To try to justify their decision, the Ninth Circuit judges said the Recall should be suspended in order for the United States to show "our commitment to elections held fairly, free of chaos" at a critical time when we are trying to persuade people of other nations of the value of free and open elections. The implication was that if California didn't postpone the Recall to give time to install touch-screen machines, America would be setting a bad example for Iraq and Afghanistan.
As further justification for this off-the-wall reasoning, the Ninth Circuit judges used some meaningless buzzwords to suggest that California urgently needed a new high-tech voting system. The court's decision stated that "the fundamental right to have votes counted in the special recall election is infringed because the pre-scored punch-card voting systems used in some California counties are intractably afflicted with technologic dyscalculia." Judicial supremacists, who are handing down decisions they can't support with common-sense language, love to lace their opinions with words the voters don't understand.
The real problem was that the activist judges were afflicted with the urge to render a political decision to help the Democrats, and the credibility of the touch-screen system was just their excuse. Fortunately, when this political decision was appealed, the full Ninth Circuit allowed the Recall election to proceed as scheduled, and the voters elected Arnold Schwarzenegger in a fair election.
The media keep telling us that the November 2004 election will be the closest ever. We must make sure that activist judges are not permitted to interfere with the election results after the election has started.
The liberals are even trying before the election to get activist judges to help stuff the ballot box. Realizing that Al Gore could have carried Florida in 2000 if convicted felons had voted, Democratic lawyers and lobbyists hope to get activist judges to throw out or rewrite state laws that place restrictions on the ability of convicted felons to vote.
In New York, Democratic officials, labor unions and pressure groups are promoting the outlandish notion of allowing legal immigrants who are not U.S. citizens to vote. New York City has a million legal immigrants of voting age who are not citizens, more than enough to swing any election.
In addition to trying to gather the votes of convicted felons who have been released from prison and of non-citizens, will the Democrats also be trying to round up the votes of prisoners? Six current Supreme Court justices have stated that they will look to foreign courts for guidance in interpreting U.S. laws, so we should be on guard against a possible next step in the Democrats' search for new voting blocs. In March 2004, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg ruled that laws preventing convicted prisoners from voting in elections are a breach of their human rights. The court ruled that it cannot accept "an absolute bar on voting by any serving prisoner…"
Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, one of the six justices who have succumbed to the lure of foreign laws and court decisions, predicts that "over time [the U.S. Supreme Court] will rely increasingly . . . on international and foreign courts in examining domestic issues."
The solution to the problem of supremacist judges legislating from the bench is for American citizens to demand that Congress use its Article III power to withdraw jurisdiction from the courts over cases in which we have reason to believe that the judges may be guided by their own social and political preferences instead of by the United States Constitution.

The International Veterinary Academy of Pain Management has designated the month of September as Animal Pain Awareness Month. In recognition of that we'd like to share some tidbits on how to tell if your pet is in pain. Sometimes it is very obvious when an animal is in pain; such as when we observe limping, swelling, or an open wound. However, some animals are very good at hiding their pain and the symptoms are much less obvious.
The biggest sign in both dogs and cats is behavioral changes. Knowing your pet's "normal" behavior will give you a big advantage when looking for signs of pain. A dog in pain may become antisocial or even aggressive at times. He may have a loss of appetite and sleep more often than usual, as sleep is the body's time to heal itself. Excessive vocalization, grooming, and panting when not exercising are also signs there may be something wrong with your pup. Some dogs may show changes in their posture, such as a rigid stance if they're stiff or swollen; or they may get into the "prayer position" with their paws down and bottom up, potentially to alleviate abdominal pain. Restlessness, shaking, and trembling may likewise be indicators that your dog is hurting internally.
Our feline friends tend to be a bit less obvious; they are much better at hiding their pain from us. Again, look for any behavioral changes. Biting or scratching when that is not their "normal" is usually a red flag that something isn't right. Panting is rare for cats so if you see this symptom, you'll want to watch them very closely and look for other symptoms, such as a decrease in appetite, energy, or mobility. Although most cats will purr, especially if they're getting attention, pain may actually cause an increase in purring even when you're not near them; this could be their way of trying to self-soothe. If your cat's pupils are dilated for an extended period of time, this could also be a pain indicator and maybe even a sign of head trauma. Lastly, one of the biggest clues a cat will give is a change in their litter box habits. If they are in too much pain to get in and out of their litter box, they may start urinating or defecating on the floor. Cats that are not eliminating any waste at all could either be constipated or have a blocked urethra. These are both very serious medical conditions in felines.
So now that you know what to look for, what is the next step? If you think your pet is in pain, you should make an appointment with your local veterinarian as soon as possible. They will be able to determine the source of the pain and the best way to alleviate it. Make sure you listen carefully to your veterinarian's instructions, such as limiting your pet's activity and giving the correct dose of medication. Please do not self-prescribe medications for your pet! Just like humans, all animals react differently to medications and we know you want to keep your pet safe and healthy!
